Wired2Perform Delivers A New Approach To Workplace Experience

Every year, millions of youth embark on careers they're not suited for. While this issue is complex, ultimately it points to a startling lack of self-awareness. Social impact aside, unhappy and un-engaged workers lead to losses of $450-$550 billion dollars a year in the United States alone. It is in this context that Wired2Perform emerged with a mission to help create an environment for everyone to be self-aware, know their passions and grow to achieve their aspirations.

Wired2Perform is a people analytics platform founded by Raghu Misra, a serial tech entrepreneur who was previously the Co-Founder & CTO of ShipXpress, a Software-As-A-Service company that was successfully sold to GE Transportation. The software uses an individual's psychometric/behavioral insights, skills, interests, talents, and aspirations to match them through various proprietary AI-based algorithms to teams, roles and customers. Continue reading.

The platform helps HR and organization development teams to truly access the human capital of the organization from not only a human capital performance management (HCM) and utilization standpoint but also from diversity and inclusion angle. The leaders can utilize various workforce analytics and reports in the platform to assess what the effect of adding an individual would be to a team or who among a set of suitable candidates is the best fit for a role for a team.

The goal is to help the leaders to assess the team's behavior dynamics and create high-performance teams. The platform improves harmony and satisfaction, allowing workers to interact and engage more meaningfully with their colleagues and their work. In the age where AI and automation are expected to disrupt the workforce, the Future-Of-Work is all about self-aware individuals and how employers use various insights to reskill and upskill their workforce.

Speaking of the change that he hopes to drive with the power and potential of self-awareness, Raghu Misra said, "Wired2Perfom is a part of the workplace revolution we need to see globally. We need to shift to a mindset where work is more about passion than a paycheck. With the people analytics we provide, I'm confident that individuals will be able to understand themselves and those they interact with in professional and personal settings better."

Firing up Elmira, New York-based affiliate WENY, Honolulu affiliate KITV, Erie, Pennsylvania-based WSEE's Erie News Now as well as Caribbean-based OCTV (known as One Caribbean Television) on Syncbak's direct-to-consumer OTT app, SBTV, local content from these stations is now available to viewers and advertisers nationwide. In addition, Syncbak has expanded its footprint with Honolulu-based affiliate KITV by also powering the station's website stream.

Syncbak powers over 12 million hours of live broadcast streaming annually to popular over-the-top viewer destinations such as CBS All Access, Hulu, Sony, Amazon, station apps and websites as well as its own consumer platform, SBTV. Known for its install once, deliver-to-many solution, Syncbak's core technology, SimpleSync, takes a single stream from the station and packages it for delivery to any OTT destination. The company's proprietary DAI solution, adSync, replaces traditional over-the-air ads with ads personalized to the viewer, in real time.

Launched in 2018, SBTV allows stations to deliver local programming to viewers nationwide. With SBTV, stations build over-the-top channels of live, previously aired and syndicated programming in markets they currently serve, and anywhere else in the US, if they have the content rights to do so.

"We understand the importance of providing our local station content to viewers on their terms; wherever and whenever they want to watch it," said Kevin Lilly, President of Lilly Broadcasting. "Syncbak's technology allows us to catch viewers going into and coming out of binge mode with our local news content, then keep them with programming like the Thunder at the Glen live stream this weekend and other fun, original programming on SBTV's marketplace," added Lilly.

"Lilly Broadcasting wants to reach viewers where they are, and that's over-the-top," said Jack Perry, founder & CEO of Syncbak. "Our SimpleSync technology allows them to streamline workflows and the cost associated with being available everywhere their viewers are, including nationwide on SBTV. I can't wait to see how we grow with them" added Perry. Click here.

Any station wanting to go OTT right now can elect carriage on SBTV free of charge and have their own 24/7 always on channel running in a day; there is no cost to the station. SBTV feeds can easily be used to power existing websites and news apps.

WENY's feature presentation, Thunder at the Glen, can be viewed live from Watkins Glen this Saturday August 3 at 7pm ET on SBTV.com or via the SBTV app for iOS, Android and Roku devices.

Automating Receivables Management is a Natural Progression to Digitizing Corporate Cash Cycle Processes

Automating some or all of the activities that encompass corporate accounts receivable has been climbing the priority list as financial professionals increasingly see how digitalization affects the cash cycle.

In a new research report, Receivables Management Is Back on the Radar, Mercator Advisory Group reviews how the age-old problem of efficiently collecting money from buyers and optimizing cash application can improve the bottom line through reduced cost and better cash flow. The growth in digital payments over the past several years is now having a follow-on effect in the handling invoiced payments, causing treasury to consider improving receivables management as well.

"There is a continuing trend for convergence of corporate financial systems and processes, generally referred to as procure-to-pay. Receivables have in the past been considered a specialized operation, not necessarily viewed as generically connected to the other financial management processes," commented Steve Murphy, Director of Mercator Advisory Group's Commercial and Enterprise Payments Advisory Service, author of the report. "This is beginning to change as more companies are recognizing that effective processing of inbound payments also has significant impact on working capital effectiveness. Banks are also getting the message as traditional lockbox services become inadequate to handle the increase of e-payments. Forward-thinking banks and their clients are now taking a closer look at supporting receivables processes with new technology."

Highlights of the report include:

The document is 15 pages long and contains 5 exhibits.

Companies and other organizations mentioned in this report include: AFP, Atradius, Bank of America, Basware, Billtrust, CGI, CheckAlt, Citi, CreditPoint, Comdata, Coupa, Dade Systems, Deluxe, FIS, Fiserv, FTNI, High Radius, Invoicely, Mastercard, J.P.

Booth & Koskoff Obtain $10 Million Settlement in Sexual Abuse Case

This month, the law firm Booth & Koskoff settled a lawsuit against the County of Riverside for $10 million on behalf of their client, Jacquelyn H. This settlement is one of the largest in the state's history for a single victim of sexual abuse. The civil suit (Riverside County Superior Court case no. MCC1701255) has also resulted in significant changes for Riverside Child Protective Services ("CPS").

According to the lawsuit, Jacquelyn was 11-years-old in 2014 when she first disclosed to a teacher that she was the victim of sexual assault. The perpetrator was her mother's live-in boyfriend. The teacher reported this abuse to both the police and CPS, which resulted in both entities conducting investigations. In response, Jacquelyn's mother obtained a restraining order against perpetrator, who then disappeared, allegedly fleeing to Mexico. Riverside CPS closed the file shortly after purportedly finding the allegations to be "inconclusive."

Four months later, according to the lawsuit, Riverside CPS returned to the home to investigate a domestic violence report and discovered that the perpetrator had returned and the mother had dismissed the restraining order against him. Instead of opening a new investigation into sexual abuse and notifying the police of the perpetrator's whereabouts, the CPS social worker chose to draft a "safety plan" that provided that the children could stay in the home if the mother agreed not to leave them alone with the perpetrator and if the perpetrator (identified as a "caregiver" of the children) agreed not to leave the children alone with their mother until her mental health improved.

In 2016, Jacquelyn was found to be seven months pregnant, and a paternity test confirmed that the perpetrator was the father. According to the lawsuit, Jacquelyn had endured near daily sexual assaults during the two and half years between CPS' initial investigation in 2014 and her pregnancy being discovered in 2016. More info here.

Booth & Koskoff filed suit against the County of Riverside for its failure to cross-report its reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse to law enforcement when it learned that the perpetrator had returned to the home. The $10 million payout was not the only result of the suit. Press reports have indicated that Riverside County has made significant changes to the leadership and procedures of its Department of Public Social Services at least in part in response to Jacquelyn's case.
