Black Dress Partners, a St. Louis-based coaching and consulting organization that focuses on early- and second-stage women business owners, announced the grand opening of their new office located at 9666 Olive Blvd. The office comes on the heels of a year of expansion for Black Dress Partners; the firm has increased its client-base by 37% and added three new expertly facilitated peer roundtables (Black Dress Circles) since 2017.

She currently facilitates six different Black Dress Circles: three Emerge groups for female entrepreneurs leading organizations with less than $1 Million in annual revenue, two Black Dress Circle Evolve groups for second-stage women business owners steering organizations with $1-$50 Million in annual revenue, and one Men's Roundtable.

Keypoint Intelligence-Buyers Lab Announces Inaugural Printer/MFP Security Testing Event and Program Kick-off

Keypoint Intelligence–Buyers Lab, the industry's leading authority in hardcopy device testing and research, today announced the launch of a security testing benchmark—the first of its kind in the industry—that standardizes the requirements for output device security and provides independent verification of the security features of today's advanced MFPs and printers. The Buyers Lab Verified Secure testing program inaugural event launches in November for current device models, with testing for new introductions available on an ongoing basis.

"While security remains to be a number one priority for IT, there is still a reasonable amount of vagueness and confusion surrounding printer and MFP security in the marketplace," commented Randy Dazo, Group Director of Office Document Technology at Keypoint Intelligence. "We understand that most equipment makers do their own rigorous security testing on their devices, however, our program looks to complement that by providing independent verification of an OEM's claims, or confidential feedback to program participants when improvements are needed, based on standardized testing derived by industry security experts in partnership with the manufacturers."

The device family models, security settings and firmware versions must be reported to Buyer's Lab at the time of submission

Keypoint Intelligence will provide the test results to program participants in a detailed, private report

JobTraQ Shifts into HighGear, Renames Company and Flagship Software

In celebration of its 15th anniversary, Swift Software, the pioneer of Lean BPM solutions, announced today that the company is changing its corporate name to HighGear – along with the name of its flagship JobTraQ software – to better reflect the speed, power and flexibility of its enterprise-grade, workflow platform that dramatically streamlines business operations and accelerates digital transformation.

Business teams use these applications to quickly assign tasks, manage work, track progress and report the status of activity across dozens of departments in real-time, without searching through paper forms, e-mail and spreadsheets.

"Unlike expensive BPM solutions that take months for consultants to implement or low-code frameworks that still require software developers, HighGear is built for business users, trusted by management and approved by IT," said Josh Yeager, COO of HighGear. "Our no-code workflow platform allows business administrators to use visual, drag-and-drop tools to design, automate and customize simple-to-complex business processes on-demand, in minutes not months, without programming."

HighGear also released the most powerful version of its workflow automation platform to date, delivering significant performance, ease-of-use and productivity enhancements, including:

"Everything is controlled in HighGear. More than 12,000 tasks are workflow-generated each month. There is no way we could manage that volume by hand," according to Sammye Kline, Operations System Specialist with LSC Communications Publisher Service and the 2018 recipient of HighGear's annual Workflow Champion award. "I am excited for all of the new workflow analytics, process mapping and template libraries available in HighGear Version 8."

Cipher Releases First-of-its-Kind Competitive Intelligence “State of Play” Report for Life Sciences

Cipher, a leading provider of competitive and market intelligence consulting and technology solutions, partnered with James Madison University to conduct a first-of-its-kind comprehensive analysis of the state of Competitive Intelligence (CI) within the Life Sciences industry (i.e. Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Medical Devices).

The study looked at the top 100 companies by last reported revenue in each vertical and gathered over 10,000 data points on CI professionals supporting these organizations. Read latest news here.

As a result of the study, Cipher identified five major insights for CI in the Life Sciences:

Cipher's team worked directly with professors and students at JMU to conduct the research for this study and compile the final report. "The Life Sciences industry, particularly the Pharmaceuticals industry, have long seen the value of CI and consistently maintained a CI function at some level of their organization. The CI State of Play report offers insights not only for companies in the Life Sciences industry, but for all companies in highly competitive markets seeking build or maintain a CI capability," said Peter Grimm, Cipher's CEO.

"We found it especially interesting that, unlike in other industries, a large proportion of CI professionals in Life Sciences did not study Business or Business-related fields in undergraduate and graduate school. Rather, many of them pursued hard science degrees and entered the Life Science industry first, and only later developed a specialty around CI," said Derek Heiss, Cipher's Director of Consulting.

Martyn Smith, Head of Global Competitive Intelligence for Roche, which the study noted as one of the clear leaders in Life Sciences CI, reiterated the importance of a scientific background to becoming a successful CI practitioner in Life Sciences. "A good understanding of the science is extremely helpful for Life Sciences CI practitioners to build and maintain credibility with the key constituencies they serve within the company, especially in the research teams. Around half of my CI team have a PhD in the hard sciences," Smith said.

transcosmos is Set to Release “Non-voice Contact Center Package”

transcosmos inc. will launch "Non-voice Contact Center Package," a customer service package targeting the so-called smartphone generation that prefers self-help (FAQ) and chat-based inquiry services that let them make inquiries at any time. The service is due to launch in late October 2018.

Read this here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/mothers-day-comes-with-triple-bonus-for.html

"Non-voice Contact Center Package" is a chat-based customer support service including FAQ creation/operations, bot building/operations, agent-based chat, and contact center services. With customer inquiries that require call-based support, one-time phone number will be issued for temporaly connecting a contact center after the FAQ and bot/agent-based chat supports. Read news here.

Although call center operators try to streamline their operations by using non-voice support services, cost optimization remains a challenge due to the difficulty in controlling incoming call volumes as traditional contact center. Now, the "Non-voice Contact Center Package" enables the call center operators to actively control incoming calls and ultimately reduce costs whilst retaining customer satisfaction. transcosmos believes the service will be highly valuable for companies that offer services targeting the smartphone generation and for supporting inquiries during marketing campaigns and promotions.

Feature (1): Create a maximum of 200 essential FAQs based on call log analysis.
Feature (2): Build bots that auto-reply to complex inquiries requiring to be categorized and confirmed by conditions.
Feature (3): Issue a one-time phone number that customers can connect the call center in a period of time. A call to the one-time phone number can be transferred to the agent who previously supported the customer in the chat support. Also, businesses can set a valid period to the issued one-time phone number in order to prevent the risks such as repeat calls from the same customer and phone number spreading in SNS.

The non-voice contact center package does not consider call as the top service channel for contact centers. Along with the population of smartphone and LINE users' growth, the population of customers who prefer not to communicate with an agent on the phone has been increasing. Recognizing this trend, transcosmos will develop a new contact center service based on a hypothesis that "non-voice customer support besides call center support, will help businesses achieve higher user satisfaction whilst making the service operations more efficient." With this new packaged service, transcosmos will enhance customer service channels other than call with the aim to relieve stress from users who prefer not to talk with an agent over the phone and ultimately maximize customer satisfaction.

transcosmos continues to help clients across a broad range of industries optimize communication with their customers building on its proven implementation record in customer support services.
