Relativity Strengthens Investment in Australia’s e-Discovery and Compliance Market

Leave a comment

Relativity hires a Managing Director for APAC, rolls out a local product update and brings Justice for Change program to Australia

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 19, 2020 — Relativity, a global legal and compliance technology company, announced at Legal Innovation and Tech Fest that it is strengthening its investment in the Australian market. Relativity is growing its presence in Australia given the high demand and engagement from the region.

The Relativity community in Australia has shown more engagement than ever over the past year, including a 93% increase in attendance at user groups and nearly 40% growth in overall certifications, which is twice the global average. Additionally, RelativityOne data in Australia has more than doubled in the last year, demonstrating an increased desire for an e-discovery SaaS product.

Adding to the Team in Melbourne
Building out the team in Australia is a key element in Relativity’s continued investment in the region to provide the best support possible for customers. Relativity has hired Georgia Foster, Managing Director, APAC, to lead the organisation’s efforts in the region. Foster has more than 17 years of experience leading lead sales, operations, product and marketing teams in APAC, the U.S. and Latin America. She previously held roles at LinkedIn and Uber, bringing their products and concepts to the local market. 

"I’m thrilled to join the Relativity team at a time when there’s so much growth and excitement around the product in Australia and the APAC market more broadly," said Foster. "As we continue to expand in the local market, it’s important to empower our Australian users to be successful. I look forward to working with our customers and team members to ensure we can deliver the best experience possible."

RelativityOne’s Latest Release Built with Australia in Mind
Delivering a solution that makes meeting processing and production requirements in Australia simpler is a key priority. To achieve this, Relativity introduced a preview program enabling some Australian customers to provide real-time feedback allowing for iteration on the functionality prior to its release. The latest release for RelativityOne users in Australia offers:

  • Level Numbering to eliminate the need for multiple processing platforms.
  • Improved PDF Rendering and Viewer so there’s no more importing/exporting.
  • Improved PDF Redaction Workflow to apply redactions from within RelativityOne.
  • Updated options in Relativity Desktop Client (RDC) to export rendered PDFs.

"Our goal is for e-discovery teams to have a true end-to-end e-discovery platform in RelativityOne," said Stuart Hall, Senior Manager, APAC Service Delivery at Relativity. "This is the first time that we collaborated so closely with Australian customers on a locally focused product upgrade and the approach certainly benefitted both Relativity and our customers."

Expansion of Justice for Change Program
Relativity’s new Justice for Change program is now available in Australia, the first region outside of the U.S. This global program leverages the unique capabilities of RelativityOne and its ecosystem to positively impact racial justice progress in our communities. Justice for Change first launched at Relativity Fest in September where Relativity pledged 100 terabytes of RelativityOne to remove barriers to access technology for organising, collecting and analysing data in matters related to racial injustice.

Any customers or organisations working to promote racial justice are eligible to apply for the program. And for those in Australia who are not familiar with our software, Relativity will pair them with a service provider or law firm from its network that can assist.

"We are thrilled to include the Australian community in our efforts to make inclusion, diversity and belonging an integral part of our culture," Foster added. "I look forward to seeing the difference we can make when our community comes together to create positive change."

Legal Innovation and Tech Fest attendees can learn more about Justice for Change and additional updates at Relativity’s virtual booth and the following sessions:

Chili Piper aims to overtake Calendly among revenue reps with the first meeting automation tool and new Spicy offering

Leave a comment

Latest product release introduces new Free and Spicy offerings for revenue teams with more robust booking links than Calendly and the first ever meeting automation solution for reps, allowing teams to automate and track every buyer interaction in their CRM

NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2020 — Chili Piper, the leader in Inbound Revenue Acceleration, today announced the expansion of Chili Meetings, its meeting automation platform for revenue teams.

Chili Piper has become synonymous with instant lead conversion, helping revenue teams double inbound conversion rates with its Concierge scheduling solution. This new release introduces Free and Spicy plans, including the first ever meeting automation tool for reps, Instant Booker. Customers have booked nearly six million meetings to-date with Chili Piper.

Try Chili Meetings for 14 days for free today at: (https://www.chilipiper.com/spicy).

Instant Booker makes it fast and easy for sales, customer success and support reps to book meetings in seconds from Google Calendar, Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, Outreach, Salesloft, and more – complete with automated invites, reminders, rescheduling and CRM actions.

Chili Piper improves upon the standard booking link introduced by Calendly, with one-click booking, automated signatures and personal pages that make it easier for customers to book time on a rep’s calendar.

"We switched all our business units from Calendly to Chili Piper primarily because of the Salesforce integration and the streamlined user experience when scheduling handoff meetings for our prospects and clients," said Madeline Anderson, Business Operations Administrator at Buildertrend. "Now instead of just using booking links, the new Spicy license gives our team multiple ways to schedule meetings and stay connected to our customers."

As the only automated scheduling solution allowing both customers and reps to book meetings, Chili Meetings offers the unique benefit of capturing every buyer interaction in Salesforce, giving RevOps leaders greater piece of mind and accurate reporting.

"It’s been really helpful in removing friction from our revenue team members’ days, just being able to schedule something much more easily from a number of different sources," said Denis Malkov, Director of Revenue Operations at PandaDoc. "So whether they’re working in Salesforce, in their Chrome browser, or their Gmail account, they can get to Chili Piper through Instant Booker and get onto a customer’s calendar very fast."

Chili Meetings is now available in a "Spicy" version for $15 per user per month with a 14-day free trial. In addition, Chili Piper’s individual booking tools are now available without a CRM integration in its "Free" version. Learn more about Chili Meetings here: (https://chilipiper.com/blog/introducing-chili-meetings-spicy)

Both Free and Spicy offerings help revenue professionals automate the process of booking individual or group meetings from a variety of business tools, making it easier to connect with customers:

  • Use Suggested Times to book 13x more meetings with simple one-click scheduling
  • Use Instant Booker to book automated, templated meetings from any screen in seconds 
  • Use Smart Email Signatures to offer easy one-click scheduling in every email
  • Use Personal Pages to share your availability and connect with the world

Chili Meeting’s two-way CRM integrations give you ultimate flexibility and control to build custom CRM workflows for specific teams and meeting types:

  • Create new leads and contacts
  • Create new events, related to accounts, cases or opps
  • Track and update meetings held, rescheduled, and cancelled
  • Pull CRM data into dynamic meeting templates and reminders

"Until today, revenue professionals had to use the same tools, Google Calendar or Outlook, as my 90 year old mother," said Nicolas Vandenberghe, CEO of Chili Piper. "With Chili Piper Spicy, a meeting is now much more than an entry in a database. It comes with templated invites, reminders, easy ways to schedule and reschedule, automated capture in CRMs and follow up workflows. It’s time for the digital transformation of sales!"

"The "Invite All" feature is a game-changer for us in increasing user adoption, reducing redundancy and improving sales productivity with Chili Piper," said Jennifer A. Hollingsworth, Social Media Digital Marketing Specialist at Kaon Interactive, Inc. "As a B2B company selling into enterprise-level B2B companies, most buying decisions are by committee — meaning most sales meetings, throughout the sales cycle, are held with multiple stakeholders. Hence, this seemingly tiny feature was a huge sticking point for our sales people. They expressed "great joy and gratitude" at the launch of this feature."

About Chili Piper
Founded in 2016, Chili Piper is the leader in Inbound Revenue Acceleration, with a mission to reinvent the system of action for revenue teams – their calendar and inbox. Chili Piper automates the antiquated processes in scheduling and email that cause unnecessary friction and drop-off in the sales process – resulting in increased productivity and conversion rates throughout the funnel.

Companies like Square, Twilio, QuickBooks Intuit, Spotify, and Forrester use Chili Piper to create an amazing experience for their leads, while converting double the amount of leads into held meetings. Chili Piper is a fully distributed company leveraging global talent with employees in 50 cities across 15 countries. To learn more, visit https://www.chilipiper.com/

Netskope Launches NewEdge Data Center Expanding Coverage Across North Asia

Leave a comment

Newest data center enhances the carrier-grade NewEdge security private cloud network to deliver even higher performance web, cloud, and SaaS security across the region

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 17, 2020 — Netskope, the leading security cloud, today announced the expansion of the Netskope NewEdge network with a new data center in Seoul, South Korea. Serving millions of enterprise users around the world, Netskope NewEdge is a carrier-grade, security private cloud network that is reserved exclusively for Netskope customers. With South Korea representing a ‘top five’ economy in Asia and ‘top 15’ globally, the addition of the Seoul data center enhances the NewEdge infrastructure and demonstrates an increased investment in the region. This translates into improved coverage for Netskope services with high performance and lower latency, especially important for companies headquartered in the region or multinationals with a presence in Northern Asia.

"Our customers are rapidly moving away from legacy backhaul architectures, embracing the cloud, and looking to acquire security technology that controls data movement, guards against threats and secures users both inside and outside the enterprise network," said Jay Kwon, CTO at VicCns Co., Ltd. "With Netskope launching a new data center in Seoul paired with the NewEdge network’s local peering for the fastest access to web, cloud and SaaS in region, we expect increased adoption of Netskope cloud security across Korea in the coming months."

As organizations continue to balance the remote or hybrid-office workforce, they are relying on cloud-based solutions to seamlessly bridge the gap from office to home for their employees. With 20% of users moving sensitive data among multiple cloud apps and services, businesses must continue to prioritize security during this era of rapid digital transformation.

"We’re excited to continue our expansion across Asia-Pacific with the launch of the NewEdge data center in Seoul," said Jason Hofmann, VP Platform Architecture and Services at Netskope. "With just 5% to 10% of the latency compared to other vendors based on 3rd-party tests, Netskope is now unequivocally the highest-performing cloud security provider in South Korea, with the fastest on-ramps for user traffic and best round trip times for web, cloud and SaaS access."

The decades-long efforts to digitally transform enterprises have pushed the capabilities of the public internet to its maximum. Inherently unpredictable and unsecure, the public internet is strained by users who demand great web, cloud, and private application performance and enterprises that demand more security. Compounding this challenge, legacy security tools often introduce delays to accessing these critical services. As a result, industry analysts have scrutinized the reliance on the public internet for security of these services, giving rise to new architectural frameworks like Gartner’s "secure access service edge" (SASE) that enterprise security leaders are moving to adopt.

Netskope NewEdge is built by industry veterans representing the largest and most performant networks ever built. Like no other network, NewEdge delivers inline security services through a carrier-grade, next-generation global infrastructure based on advanced application and network optimization technologies and processes. As a private cloud network, NewEdge optimizes connectivity with its resilient global architecture, which is directly peered with major providers, mitigating the challenge of the public internet. This enhances the overall user experience, resulting in a better web, cloud, and private application performance for most Netskope customers.

The Netskope Security Cloud, delivered on NewEdge, provides unrivaled visibility and real-time data and threat protection for cloud services, websites, and private apps accessed from anywhere, on any device. No other company in the market has addressed shifting demands by combining Next-Generation SWG capabilities, the world’s leading CASB, Cloud Security Posture Management, Zero Trust Network Access, and advanced machine learning to detect unauthorized data exfiltration and advanced threat protection. Only Netskope understands the cloud and takes a data-centric approach that empowers security teams with the right balance of protection and speed they need to secure their digital transformation journey.

To accelerate deployment and simplify administration for network teams, Netskope supports the most flexible options of any vendor for steering traffic to the NewEdge network. This includes Netskope’s lightweight client for managed devices or a traditional proxy auto-config (PAC) file-based approach. NewEdge also works seamlessly with a customer’s existing router, firewall, and proxy investments utilizing IPSec/GRE tunnels or proxy chaining, as well as plug-and-play integrations with SD-WAN solutions. To extend security and data protection to unmanaged users and devices, Netskope also supports an extensive set of clientless options to enable any web-based, SaaS application.

SASE Week
Join Netskope December 7-11 for SASE Week, catered to helping attendees understand SASE architecture and enable their digital transformation journey. The week-long event will feature partners, customers, and analysts to demystify SASE for enterprises everywhere and educate about how Netskope was purpose-built for SASE. In addition to SASE, our speakers will look at topics like zero trust and data protection.

Tanium Collaborates with IBM to Provide Endpoint Manageability, Security and Compliance for Regulated Industries

Leave a comment

Tanium’s endpoint management and security platform allows customers to continuously evaluate, update and enforce compliance standards within IBM hybrid cloud deployments

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 17, 2020 — Tanium, the provider of unified endpoint management and security built for the world’s most demanding IT environments, today announced it is working with IBM to create a security and compliance monitoring solution for hybrid cloud, creating an easy path to verify and validate compliance for highly regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services and government. IBM Cloud customers can access Tanium-delivered compliance monitoring for continuous, real-time visibility across endpoints everywhere. This collaboration is designed to enable customers to manage and protect their mission-critical workloads in a distributed hybrid cloud environment.

Agility is a key requirement for every industry and adopting a strong hybrid cloud strategy is a key enabler of that agility. For financial services, healthcare and government organizations, however, meeting regulatory requirements and addressing security exposures continue to be concerns for cloud adoption. Because most public cloud environments are still hardening their compliance and security instrumentation, regulated industries find they spend too much time, effort and money to obtain complete and consolidated audit evidence for cloud workloads. This is why, as recently as 2017, a Reuters analysis found that 80 percent of financial transactions and 95 percent of ATM transactions still ran on premises.  

"For financial services, telecommunications, healthcare and government organizations in particular, regulatory requirements and security concerns continue to be an obstacle for cloud adoption," said Howard Boville, senior vice president, IBM Hybrid Cloud. "Highly regulated organizations often face the need to choose between spending significant time, effort and money to obtain audit evidence for the workloads they migrate, or not modernizing at all. We are working with our ecosystem partners to deliver solutions that can help clients modernize in an efficient and secure way. Tanium is one of our key partners that brings deep knowledge of endpoint security and compliance, and by making that information readily available in a hybrid cloud environment, we’re aiming to ease these challenges for our clients."  

Tanium and IBM are collaborating to provide highly regulated industries, such as financial services, a consistent approach for real-time visibility, security and compliance to help them benefit from hybrid cloud transformations. Gartner predicts* that, "by 2023, companies that earn and maintain digital trust with customers will see 30% more digital commerce profits than their competitors."

Moving forward, IBM expects to integrate Tanium’s capability into its Security and Compliance Center that provides continuous compliance assessment, enforcement and remediation that organizations can leverage within the IBM Cloud.

"Tanium works with the majority of the Fortune 100, and the largest banks, healthcare companies and governments globally. Our large customers all have complex regulatory compliance requirements, which are often their biggest inhibitors to cloud-enabled modernization," said Orion Hindawi, co-founder and CEO, Tanium. "Through our collaboration with IBM, we’re helping our customers get the comprehensive visibility and control they need across the compute assets in their environment, both on premise and in the cloud. As a result, Tanium’s platform seamlessly integrated with IBM’s strong compliance framework will help customers to satisfy their regulatory needs, and let them accelerate the massive benefits cloud migration can provide them."

"Today’s car manufacturers have major software-centric challenges — self-driving, electrification, over-the-air updates — that require continuous iteration driven by a perpetual supply of real-world data, and yet no way exists to move these massive data sets from the vehicles to the cloud," said Melek Ozturk, Industry Analyst. "Renovo’s platform leverages the vehicle’s built-in edge computing power to refine the raw data into compact and economical insights that can be moved efficiently on a real-time basis across an entire fleet of vehicles."

Renovo offers clients two main advantages: reducing data costs, by decreasing their reliance on expensive cloud storage and compute; and time, by allowing them to collect data at the source and process it on the edge before sending only the most insightful data to the development teams. These teams can then build and deploy updates that improve vehicle safety, increase feature reliability, and enhance the overall customer experience. In addition to ADAS development teams, a company’s powertrain, reliability, manufacturing, warranty, sales, and marketing teams can use the real-world vehicle data in decision-making.

"At Renovo, we provide our automotive customers with solutions that refine and fully utilize the tremendous amount of data being produced by today’s connected vehicles," said Robin Nijor, Chief Commercial Officer at Renovo. "We are humbled to receive Frost & Sullivan’s award that recognizes the hard work of our team. We want to thank our customers and industry partners who have helped us scale our award-winning platform over the past ten years."

In just one example of how automakers have creatively used Renovo: Currently, many new vehicle designs integrate face recognition features based on specific algorithms and big data input from human features and facial geometry. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has created a population of drivers wearing face masks, which affects the software’s ability to perform. Renovo can easily and quickly resolve this challenge to ensure its customers keep pace with and benefit from the changes happening in the real world. Furthermore, with ADAS and autonomous vehicle features becoming standard offerings, Renovo’s robust, secure software platform will help automotive customers remain agile and adjust to the learning curve.

"Renovo has forged strategic relationships to fortify its platform’s operation. Through its collaboration with Verizon, Renovo has created a strong support mechanism in new technology integration and in providing scalable access to network service for customers," noted Ozturk. "With support from telecom, edge-computing, and storage ecosystem giants, Renovo is ensuring its customers gain low-latency computing and scalable operating capacity across the board, from a single car to a globally distributed fleet."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company that has developed a pioneering technology that not only enhances current products but also enables the development of new products and applications. The award recognizes the high market acceptance potential of the recipient’s technology.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

IBM to Acquire SAP Consulting Partner TruQua

Leave a comment

Acquisition will bolster IBM Services’ expertise in financial workflows with SAP and further strengthen the company’s hybrid cloud growth agenda

ARMONK, New York, Nov. 16, 2020 — As part of IBM’s hybrid cloud growth strategy to drive digital transformation for clients, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire TruQua Enterprises, LLC, an IT services and consulting SAP development partner that specializes in delivering finance and analytics solutions to Fortune 500 companies. Financial terms were not disclosed.

This acquisition enhances IBM’s expertise in migrating financial platforms to SAP to help businesses modernize their financial processes and be at the forefront of industry innovation. The shift from legacy enterprise systems and siloed processes to cloud-based integrated and streamlined finance functions such as cash flow, budgeting, and consolidations is critical in today’s rapidly evolving marketplace.

TruQua will enable IBM to broaden its consulting expertise and capabilities to help clients implement SAP solutions that will improve and automate financial management workflows, enhance operational efficiency, and, ultimately, drive an enterprise-wide transformation through the adoption of SAP S/4HANA, the latest generation of SAP’s ERP business suite.

"Our clients are reimagining their core finance processes with cloud, AI and other exponential technologies to drive increased value for their organizations.  Our acquisition of TruQua further strengthens IBM’s deep global expertise in finance and demonstrates our continued commitment towards supporting Chief Financial Officers’ strategic initiatives," said Rahul Kalia, Global Managing Partner, Enterprise Cloud Applications, IBM Services. "IBM will leverage TruQua’s extensive experience in SAP S/4HANA Finance & Group Reporting solutions to deliver better business outcomes, enabled by intelligent workflows and hybrid cloud."

Through its long-standing partnership with SAP, IBM has completed more than 5,500 successful SAP projects and helped more than 400 businesses transform their enterprise systems with SAP S/4HANA. In June, IBM announced the next evolution of its partnership with SAP, unveiling new industry offerings designed to help businesses accelerate the modernization of workflows and systems.

Today’s announcement builds on this collaboration by infusing functional expertise in finance to drive faster business transformation while guiding clients through mission critical enterprise decisions including intelligent workflows, workload migration, security, hosting and managed services.

"We are incredibly excited to join the IBM family. TruQua’s ‘Smart, Driven and Nice’ consultants will be able to quickly add to IBM’s already strong capabilities in the finance and analytics space," said Scott Cairncross, TruQua co-founder.

"We see an amazing opportunity to amplify our differentiated knowledge assets via IBM’s solution portfolio, global reach and scale," said David Dixon, TruQua co-founder.

TruQua has long advocated for a finance-first approach to start the S/4HANA journey by leveraging finance and analytics solutions, like SAP Central Finance (CFIN), as an entry point to an enterprise transformation. In addition, TruQua specializes in roadmap strategies, projects implementations, post-go-live support and software solutions in the areas of SAP Central Finance (CFIN), S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Cloud Platform, machine learning and other SAP intelligent technologies.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. It is expected to close in Q4 2020.
