Leading Fintech Analyst Mentions WaveMaker Among Major Global Low-code Vendors in Banking and Financial Services

WaveMaker

WaveMaker, the open low-code platform for professional developers, has been named one of the 12 most significant low-code solutions around the globe, by the research firm Celent in their 2021 Spectrum Report, “Low/No Code Vendors in Banking”. The report analyzes the growing demand for digital in banking that is difficult to rapidly build and deliver by traditional IT. With the growing backlog of applications to be built, incumbents in the industry are evaluating technology solutions like low-code that offer ways to gain agility in development. Vikram Srivats, WaveMaker’s global head of strategic markets, says “ Customer expectations from their mobile or web experiences are already sky high. Increasingly, traditional financial services providers are competing with modern, nimble, zero-legacy players, whether fintech or Big Tech or vertical ISVs embedding finance. WaveMaker democratizes the experience development model by making it composable, fast, easy, and cost-effective for digital engagement platform developers to deliver compelling component-based, customizable and co-existable experiences to demanding customers.” The report acknowledges the rise in low-code adoption and its contribution to creating a competitive edge for banks in the post-pandemic world. It evaluates 12 vendors against multiple criteria- features and functions, customer base, technology, and initial installation model. A copy of the report is available on Celent’s website and can be found here. Wavemaker’s platform provides an integral coding environment for professionals to build enterprise-grade applications with the freedom to deploy to an infrastructure of choice. Developers can create or import their own custom widgets called “prefabs” - that abstract the combination of data, logic, and UI - and democratize development for all to attain maximum efficiency. The platform's ethos is to seamlessly co-exist and integrate with existing tools and frameworks in a typical enterprise, and adhere to modern architectural choices and best practices of modern application development. Fintechs use WaveMaker to transform not only how they build and deliver cloud-native apps, but also transform teams to full-stack development and move more of their software supply chain to customer self-service models--at a fraction of the cost and time associated with traditional development.

Centre for Neuro Skills Introduces Telerehabilitation: Instant Access to Therapies, Staff and CNS Physicians

Centre for Neuro Skills

Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS), a premier provider of treatment for traumatic and acquired brain injury, has introduced telerehabilitation services to offer patients greater flexibility in their therapy program. CNS’ telerehabilitation services offer enhancements beyond its previously offered telehealth program. Since the beginning of 2020, CNS has delivered more than 125,000 hours of telehealth care to patients. Using the RingCentral Video® platform, powered by Zoom, patients receive full rehabilitation at home, virtually access therapies, clinicians and their treatment team from their CNS clinic. “CNS cares about rehabilitation success both in-clinic and at home, and telerehabilitation therapies focus on building life skills that lead to independence,” said Chris Persel, Regional Director of Clinical Services and Director of Behavior Programming at Centre for Neuro Skills. “Now, in their own environment, patients can work with their therapy team using the telerehabilitation toolkit as a desktop box of essentials to help build memory, cognition, reasoning, dexterity, education and other personal management details.” Therapy in real-time: All treatment modules are provided and vital living skills are taught; in-clinic therapies are replicated in the patient’s home setting and staff can suggest adaptive aids by viewing the home environment; return-to-work scenarios that can be modeled and practiced at home; therapists teach safety skills that patients can practice in real time. Telerehabilitation kit: CNS sends a boxed kit of learning aids to telerehabilitation and some hybrid patients. Included is a user’s guide for navigating RingCentral Video, learning tools, notebooks, a calculator, pens, a water bottle and a desktop whiteboard. Hybrid rehabilitation: Patients can opt for both in-clinic and virtual treatment. Telemedicine: Patients, therapists and families can consult online with physicians. In a recent national survey by the Brain Injury Association of America, telehealth was found to be a highly effective therapy platform. According to the survey of more than 400 providers, 94% of therapists reported that their patients’ recovery progressed using telehealth. About Centre for Neuro Skills Centre for Neuro Skills is an experienced and respected world leader in providing intensive rehabilitation and medical programs for those recovering from all types of brain injury. CNS covers a full spectrum of advanced care from residential and assisted living to outpatient/day treatment. Founded by Dr. Mark Ashley in 1980, CNS has seven locations in California and Texas.
