Apcela Included in Gartner's May 2019 Market Guide for Managed SD-WAN

Apcela, the cloud application acceleration provider, announced today that it was named a non-NSP managed SD-WAN provider in Gartner's May 2019 Market Guide for Managed SD-WAN Services.

"Enterprise demands for greater agility, higher performance and network expense optimization continue to grow," according to Gartner. "Enterprises struggling to balance expense reduction with greater WAN agility and performance are increasingly turning to managed SD-WAN services." As a result, the Guide states that managed SD-WAN services are forecast to grow in-line at a compound annual growth rate of 84.7% (2017 to 2022).

While the market is growing, non-NSP entrants are challenging legacy NSP providers. According to Gartner, "Non-NSP managed SD-WAN service providers are disrupting the traditionally NSP-centric sourcing model for managed WAN services." One of the reasons for that disruption is the non-NSP's ability to enable transport-provider neutrality. "In these instances, enterprises may retain market-based choice, giving them greater agility to change WAN transport providers, while still maintaining operations continuity and SPOC support separate from NSP transport agreements."

"We are proud that Gartner recognized our innovative solution for SD-WAN services," said Mark Casey, CEO of Apcela. "The enterprise need to simplify network infrastructure, while increasing agility in a hybrid IT cloud environment is fast becoming one of the primary challenges facing organizations. Apcela's solution enables enterprises to transform their network and application delivery model creating a foundation for speed, application performance, and ultimately business success."

Apcela's application hubs or AppHUBs coupled with its high-performance, low-latency network backbone creates the framework for Apcela's global, SD-WAN overlay platform service. With zero-touch, endpoint provisioning, Apcela supports a broad range of SD-WAN configurations customized to support the unique challenges of the enterprise.

BreathVet Eliminates and Prevents Bad Breath for Dogs 24 Hours

A new product created by SmartMouth Veterinary Labs stops bad breath in dogs for up to 24 hours without brushing. BreathVet is a water additive that uses zinc ion technology to eliminate doggy breath, fight plaque and tartar on teeth and promote healthy canine oral care.

BreathVet's power comes from the dual activation of zinc ions. Just like in humans, volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are the true cause of bad breath. VSCs are released when the natural bacteria in a dog's mouth consume protein left behind on teeth, gums and the tongue. It's this sulfur gas that causes bad breath, irritates tissue and can lead to problems like bleeding gums and gingivitis.

"Bad breath is a problem for millions of people, and also for dogs," says Andrew Burch, CEO of SmartMouth Veterinary Labs. "The process is the same, germs in the mouth eat protein and produce sulfur gas as waste. The only way to truly eliminate and prevent those bad breath sulfur gases is with BreathVet's patented zinc ion activation technology that has been specially formulated for dogs. By simply adding a small amount of BreathVet to your dog's water each day, you're helping to keep a healthy mouth, while bringing back the love between you and your best friend."

Safe and effective for dogs, BreathVet features patented zinc ion technology and is 100 percent safe when used as directed. Simply fill a water bowl and add the amount of BreathVet directed on the bottle, and dogs will get the benefits of clean, fresh breath as they drink water throughout the day, without having to brush their teeth.

BreathVet is available now on Amazon. To learn more, visit https://breathvet.com

SmartMouth Veterinary Labs manufactures and markets BreathVet 24 Hour Dog Breath Solution. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, SmartMouth Veterinary Labs and SmartMouth Oral Health Laboratories have been working to eliminate and prevent bad breath since 1993. Read this here.

The Emotional Evolution of Chatbots -- 10Pearls Included in Gartner Report

The emotional evolution of chatbots/virtual assistants is here thanks to the continuous research and adoption of this emerging technology. 10Pearls has conducted in-depth research on this topic to conclude that empathy trumps accuracy, as it related to human preferences for chatbots and virtual assistants. More info here.

Gartner, the world's leading research and advisory company, included the research in its April 2019 report, "Governance and Best Practices for Chatbot Development" (access requires Gartner subscription). The report states, "Whether it is too many vendors — or poorly defined narrow solutions — building, deploying and maintaining successful chatbots is fraught with problems. Application leaders should use governance and best practices for chatbot development to guide both long-term deployments and short-term investments." Gartner's report lists five recommendations for "application leaders involved in AI governance issues."

The 10Pearls' study brought in a diverse group of individuals to interact with four virtual assistants: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, SoundHound's Hound, and Apple's Siri. Prompts were given to participants, who then had to develop a question or command to say to the assistant to facilitate a conversation. Measurement of emotional responses of participants during this dialogue provided key insights, as shown in the attached graphic from 10Pearls' research.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/common-workplace-items-may-be-hazardous.html

The primary finding of the study was that empathy matters, and the most accurate tools are not the most preferred. Alexa was the least accurate, but the most favored by participants. When asked why, participants had comments such as "She seemed nicer," and "It feels like I am interacting with a person."

Gartner recommends that "application leaders involved in AI governance issues incorporate tone, emotion, personality and other soft features into your chatbot solutions by acquiring linguistics skills."

"Not all Chatbots are created equal. It's the degree of humanity that sets them apart," said Imran Aftab, CEO of 10Pearls. "This research shows that adoption of emerging tech is reliant on the overall human experience, and not just accuracy."

Recognizing the importance of empathy, Microsoft recently announced a new conversational engine that will integrate with the Cortana virtual assistant and enable new capabilities and advanced interactions. The new Cortana should be able to better understand human conversation and react accordingly.

10Pearls cutting-edge research is focused on providing businesses with key insights that can be leveraged to digitally transform successfully -- leading to the best outcomes and experiences for customers.

10Pearls has been cited in previous Gartner reports, such as the May 2018 Market Guide for AI-Related Consulting and SI Services for Intelligent Automation. For more information, visit 10pearls.com

Aptris Helps Local School—Hopes More Businesses Will Follow Example

Aptris announces today that, along with its sister company Ticomix, Harlem School District 122 has awarded it with honorable recognition for its contribution to Loves Park Elementary School. Aptris "adopted" the school in 2015 with a commitment to supplying critical needs for at-risk students through employee-driven gifts and sponsorship.

Read related news here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/intouch-insight-launches-liacx-new.html

Loves Park Elementary is located just two blocks from Aptris' corporate headquarters on North 2nd Street. Aptris' involvement with the school began when they adopted four families in 2015 and employees purchased gifts for them for Christmas. They have since expanded to 12 families as of 2018.

Other activities have included snack drives, a shoe drive and, most recently, a personal hygiene drive.

"There are two things about this that have been incredible to me," said Tim Ancona, Aptris CEO. "One is the engagement of our employees. We're not just writing a check from the corporate account and calling it a day. This is grassroots involvement on the part of every team member. The second incredible thing is the impact such a relatively small amount of effort can make."

More info here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/keywordfirst-rebrands-as-true.html

Lisa Clark, Loves Park Elementary School principal, says that impact has been significant. "It's not an exaggeration to say that these contributions have been life changing for the students and their families," Lisa said. "There's just no other way to describe when you see, for example, a child receive the first pair of new shoes they've ever owned and it brings tears to their eyes."

Ancona recently put out a challenge on social media encouraging other businesses to do likewise. He asks, "What if each business took on the task of supporting one local school in an effort to give kids living in poverty a sense of hope and a sense of being valued? This isn't hard and while one business or one employee can't change the world, one business and a group of caring employees can change one school." Read news here.

CS &A's Latest WW Semiconductor Timing Report Shows a “Correction” is in Motion Now

CS &A LLC is in its tenth year of Publication for their latest Report & Analysis Focused specifically on Worldwide Semiconductor Timing. The Report details the results for CY2018 thru Q1, 2019, & according to Mark Sherwood, CS &A LLC CEO and Principal Associate: "Very Few Industry Publications can offer Semi Timing Market Reporting PERIOD!; with the coverage questionable, and the technical depth of the reporting staff greatly limited, CS &A is the first choice when in need of Semi Timing Intelligence and Data. " More info here.

Mr. Sherwood when on to say "Generally speaking, Information and Market Intelligence in this segment has not been very credible with respect to the actuals. After 10 years in Publication, and with Credibility firmly established in the supplier, investor, consumer bases, and OEM/ODM/CM's who all agree that CS &A is currently the only Market Intelligence Supplier able to provide in depth and comprehensive Industry and unbiased Segment Reporting with true Analysis."

Coverage for the previous calendar year includes: TAM determination's by product category and Market Segment covered, Oscillator splits by Frequency Range, Accuracy, Stability, I/O type, and packaging. Vendor/Supplier ranking by $$Revenues, MnA activity, New technologies, Leading edge Products, with the most in depth and Full Coverage Reporting across all Key Defined Target Segments; Consumer, Computing, Industrial, and Communications. CS &A has a Report that looks at the Worldwide COMBINED Semi Timing mix with details for each of the participating sub segments.

The new Report is a Combined offering with detail on these segments defined as:
1. Crystals & Oscillators: Frequency Control Products (FCP)
2. Semiconductor Clock & Timing
3. Die Sales into FCP
4. RF Timing Components, IC's, and Modules

"NO other Intelligence provider is capable of this kind of coverage: According to Mark Sherwood: "CS &A is made up of Industry professionals ALL with direct and significant experience and expertise in the Semi Timing Industry" Sherwood also said: "We have the reach, we speak the language of Timing, and we have the necessary contacts to enable this level of Intelligence gathering… The credibility we have gained after this 10th year in publication, is second to none, and CS &A has fast become the Go to Resource for Semiconductor Timing."

Mainstream Industry Report Coverage Includes:
CY2018 – 19 WW Combined Semi Timing
1. Xtal & Oscillators
Stand Alone Quartz
MEMS
Compensated CMOS (ASO's)
2. Semiconductor Clock & Timing
The IC end of the business
3. Die Sales into FCP
4. RF Timing Components, IC's, & Modules

Archived Focused, Segment Additional Reports also available include:
1.) 32KHz and Real Time Clocks
a. TOD Timing Support
b. Input reference clock
2.) Semi Timing Opportunities in Communications Infrastructure and Backhaul

*Technology Coverage includes: SAW, Quartz, MEMS, and Compensated CMOS (ASO's- All Silicon Oscillators)…

This latest Report covers CY2018: A year of Potential "Correction"
After reaching a high watermark in excess of $5B usd just 6 years ago, we have seen yet another consecutive year of challenge with declining segment Volumes and $Revenues reaching ~$4.35B USD, down ~9% YoY as a direct result of the highest levels of Timing Block / function integration on two fronts coupled with saturation effects that we see in CE (Consumer Electronics) and the IoT, and was topped off with very aggressive device $ASP erosion. CS &A goes deep into this; "Correction" and provides input from and to all sides of the business…

Mark Sherwood said: "Many OEM's have already benefited from the pricing battles with lower device $ASP's seen for Timing product mixes. This is true across the full value proposition definitions for Commodity, Complex Commodity, Precision, and Ultra-Precision class Devices, Modules, and Solutions…And still, at the same time, many suppliers have been put on the spot with COGS (Cost Of Goods Sold) Vs. Price issues and Gross Profit Margins in the lowest percentage range ever reported. In many cases it's not the GPP, but the Margin Dollars that can make or break a deal. Some Crystal Suppliers will be fortunate to survive the correction over the next few years, Says Mark Sherwood from CS &A; "Combined with product changes driven by the rate that many ASIC, ASSP, and PSoC providers continue, in many cases, to integrate key functional Timing Blocks thus limiting or eliminating in some cases, ALL ASIC external timing… The latest Report discusses these challenges and detail the OEM/ODM integration decision loop and processes, and also look deep into the latest Semi Timing Product Portfolio's in what CS &A has defined as: "MacroTiming", where we see partial and FULL integration of the clock tree into a single IC. (Options exist that include the resonator too) yielding high performance, Precision class products and solutions with a value-added component that commands higher pricing (Dollars, Not Dimes!)that helps to fill in gaps created by the loss of several key use cases and applications like PC, SmartPhones, Gaming, & more. "

According to Mr. Sherwood: "Since 2005, CS &A LLC has provided Mainstream Industry intelligence along with Focused Segment targeted Reporting (Today: 32Khz and Real Time Clocks, and Semi timing opportunities in Comms infrastructure and back haul) ALL 100% Focused in Semiconductor Timing. These have become the defacto standard in Reporting with CS &A in the leadership position providing both the Industry Reporting & Analysis combined with focused, limited Consulting covering a wide spread of tasks from a simple SWOT to Product definitions. In the 13 years since we started, we have become the "go to" resource for Semiconductor Timing…".
