Bright Pattern, Leading Provider of Omnichannel Contact Center Software, Integrates with Google to Provide Text-to-Speech

Bright Pattern today announces its integration with Google Cloud Text-to-Speech functionality. Powered by Google Cloud Machine Learning, the integration applies the most advanced deep learning neural network algorithms to produce text-to-speech in a variety of languages.

Google Cloud Text-to-Speech includes exclusive access to DeepMind WaveNet, a deep neural network being used to generate Google Assistant voices in different languages. This access allows users to select from over 30 different languages as well as a variety of voices and pitches in order to synthesize natural-sounding speech. Thanks to advanced WaveNet technology, voices sound more natural, potentially reducing the human performance gap by over 50%.

"Our integration with Google's Text-to-Speech functionality is a building block for conversational AI-driven IVRs," said Konstantin Kishinsky, CTO and Founder of Bright Pattern. "The advancements made by Google and other text-to-speech providers will create large efficiencies in the contact center space as enterprises begin to use the technology to improve self-service IVR."

Bright Pattern continues to innovate and add new partners to its integration ecosystem. Google is the first of many text-to-speech technologies on Bright Pattern's integration road map for the year.

BindTuning’s Tyson Foods Intranet Wins Prestigious Industry Award

The 2018 Intra.NET Reloaded Boston Awards were presented on April 23, 2018 in two categories. The winners were selected by a five-person panel of global communications and IT experts.

BindTuning's work for Tyson Foods (in conjunction with Dell EMC Consulting Services) was recognized in the category of Best Intranet Solution for User Experience, Design and Content Management.

Beatriz Oliveira, CEO & Founder of BindTuning, along with Chris Eaves, Associate Director of Communications for Tyson Foods were on hand to receive the award. They also led a breakout session where they showcased the Tyson Foods solution.

The Bi ndTuning platform offers a suite of tools including beautifully designed web parts and web themes that extend the functionality and ease of use of SharePoint and Office 365. Customers can instantly deploy and provision professionally designed, fully functional SharePoint websites, intranets and extranets without needing to enter a single line of code.

Tyson was looking to deploy a user-friendly intranet that could streamline their operations and promote greater employee collaboration. This intranet would replace the mix of intranets Tyson had inherited after a series of acquisitions.

BindTuning's cloud-based, pre-built Office 365 themes and web parts became the "secret sauce" that together with Dell EMC Consulting Services enabled Tyson to rapidly deploy a new intranet environment that connects over 114,000 employees in more than 400 facilities worldwide. The first prototype was ready within 8 weeks and the project as a whole was completed in less than 6 m onths.

Intra.NET Reloaded Boston provides high-level decision makers with insights into how global organizations are managing complex intranets and employee portals. As the winner of this year's Best Intranet Solution for User Experience, Design and Content Management, BindTuning received a donation of $1,000 from event organizer, we.CONECT. BindTuning donated their award to DKMS.org, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and blood disorders.

Released originally in 1993, Myst is still considered a groundbreaking game and is the bestselling game of the 20th century.

About Cyan:
Cyan was started in 1987 by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller. They released a new kind of children 's software they called The Manhole. It was a simple, whimsical, black & white world to explore with very little to get in the way of the journey. It was well received by children of all ages. The brothers followed up with Cosmic Osmo and Spelunx - two more rich, non-threatening worlds for children to explore.

In 1991, Cyan began work on Myst, a project that would take everything they had learned about making worlds and use it to create a truly unique experience for an older, more sophisticated audience. Myst was about finding yourself lost in a world and simply exploring, understanding and becoming part of the story - and the public response was nothing short of phenomenal. Sales for Myst and its sequel Riven have exceeded 15 million units worldwide - which made them the best-selling computer games of the 20th century.

AixSwiss Bringing Five Unique Nupure Probiotic Supplements for Improved Digestive Tract Health to Retailer StackedNutrition.com

AixSwiss B.V. is bringing its innovative European Nupure supplement line that harnesses the power of probiotic strains to help moderate weight, boost immunity and benefit digestive tract health — from mouth to colon, and all the intestinal flora in between — to e-commerce site StackedNutrition.com.

AixSwiss is educating consumers on the benefits probiotics can have throughout the body, not just the gut, which probiotics have been traditionally used for. StackedNutrition.com will receive five products to aid in this educational process, each with a unique benefit derived from probiotics and beneficial bacteria in the body.

"People have trillions of bacteria cells in their bodies, sometimes as many (bacteria) cells as human cells," AixSwiss CEO Jorge Paule said. "That's why it's important to work with this bacteria and ensure the beneficial ones survive. Antibacterial soaps are literally killing o ff a huge part of your body. Probiotics are effective at improving the body's natural flora balance in the digestive tract in a short time."

There are five products in Nupure's initial U.S. launch: Probiflor, Colon Pure, Probipure, Probipure Junior, and Probident. Probiflor is the current top seller, a powerful probiotic with 11 bacterial cultures and more than 20 billion active strains per capsule.

AixSwiss believes customers should learn about the quality of supplements, especially those with living organisms. Each package of Probiflor contains a QR that can be scanned with your phone, which then takes you to a website where the batch number on the bottle can be entered and full lab test results on that exact bottle can b e found.

Probipure is a powerful, organic probiotic containing the highest quality allergen-free bacterial cultures grown in Germany. Probipure Junior is a kids' version of Probipure, providing a smaller dose that is dissolved in water, rather than swallowed whole.

"Probipure is a high quality, organic probiotic made to the highest European standards. The strains used in Probipure and Probipure Junior come from Germany," Paule said. "Probipure Junior is a powder, able to be placed in water or yogurt, due to choking concerns from capsules. The regular Probipure is in a capsule and has extra probiotic strains."

Colon Pure is an organic, herbal supplement for the intestine, reducing inflammation of the psyllium husk. Probident is a dissolvable and chewable probiotic tablet that provides fresh breath, dental health and improved oral hygiene.
