Doceree takes the lead on transparency in programmatic Point-of-Care messaging by championing adoption of IAB standard

Doceree

Doceree today launched an industry-first initiative championing an existing standard that aims to authenticate messaging from point-of-care publishers within healthcare. The initiative mitigates any possible risks arising from ambiguity of the ecosystem, something not previously done within point-of-care media and media aggregators. Programmatic technology provides incredible convenience to showcase messages from life sciences brands to healthcare professionals (HCPs) on point-of-care platforms. However, the lack of transparency in the space has marred the progress of the entire ecosystem. In 2017, Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) introduced the ads.txt standard to bolster transparency by authenticating publisher platforms. The adoption of the standard is happening at a slow pace, especially so in the pharmaceutical industry, a sector which is still new to adopting digital tools and technologies to engage HCPs programmatically, compared to those in the consumer marketing space. As a leader in the point-of-care messaging category, Doceree is championing the adoption of the ads.txt standard in the healthcare industry. As part of its latest effort, the company has also released a white paper entitled “ Bolstering Transparency in Programmatic Pharma Messaging” that delves into the crucial role of ads.txt and how its adoption ensures transparency in programmatic media. “It is equally as important to effectively address the downsides of new technologies and empower companies to confidently use programmatic tools for their business growth and success. Being a leader in this ecosystem, it is our responsibility to do everything that bolsters transparency. This is what we are attempting to achieve with our adoption of IAB’s standard ads.txt practice,” said Harshit Jain MD, Founder and Global CEO, Doceree. “With Programmatic display ad spending estimated at nearly $150 billion this year, outpacing topline digital ad spending (according to emarketer US market forecast), it’s imperative that marketers know “who” and “where” are the authorized marketplaces. In healthcare marketing, we walk a very fine line to ensure that the right information is getting to the right patient, caregiver and HCP. This additional level of checks/balances is needed for brand safety and transparency. ” said Karima Sharif, Strategy Lead + Head of Inclusive Investments, Publicis Health Media. The Doceree White Paper can be downloaded here. About Doceree Doceree is a global platform building unprecedented solutions for healthcare professional (HCP) programmatic messaging with proprietary data tools. It facilitates messaging between life sciences brands and HCPs through an extensive global network of digital endemic and point-of-care platforms to programmatically deliver personalized communications to HCPs and transparent marketing campaign metrics at scale.

Sekur Private Data Set To Launch Swiss-Hosted SekurVPN — First 5000 Subscribers Get A 60% Yearly Discount

Sekur Private Data Ltd

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) announced they will be launching a private, Swiss hosted and highly encrypted, non-big tech VPN solution. Sekur is a US-listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company that provides private and secure communications solutions. It uses its own servers hosted in Switzerland, and military-grade encryption security and combines it with its proprietary encryption and Swiss data privacy laws. The company has responded to growing demand from its existing consumer and business users that have asked the company for a VPN product, and Sekur has completed its state-of-the-art Swiss-hosted VPN privacy solution. Sekur has acquired all the servers needed for the encryption processing and hosting of SekurVPN in its Swiss data centers. The official launch of SekurVPN is set for April 7, 2023. Currently, the company is offering a pre-registration discount to all of its existing Sekur users and shareholders. Pricing will be as follows: $7/month per user or $70/year per user. However, Sekur is offering a promotional price to celebrate the launch. The first 5,000 people to register will receive a 60% discount on the yearly price, totaling $28/year per user for the first two years. Users can go to www.sekurvpn.com to get the offer directly. SekurVPN was designed to help users wanting to mask their IP addresses from hackers. One example of the VPN solution in action would be a user being able to have full privacy and protection from hackers hijacking location information when a user logs into their bank or email. One major factor about SekurVPN is the fact that users will not need to register their phone numbers to download the App on iOS or Android, rendering the user “invisible” to hackers snooping on users’ phone numbers and penetrating their devices through that weakness. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We are very excited to announce this pre-registration opportunity for our users and shareholders and anyone wishing to have true privacy on the internet, at a 60% discount to our already very affordable pricing model. The launch of SekurVPN is set for April 7, 2023. We have high hopes for the success of SekurVPN, due to its highly private nature, since it does not use any big tech or computing or hosting and offers only Swiss IPs. Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and, as we are not connected to any Big Tech or Hyperscaler platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We look forward to continuing to offer true data privacy to all individuals and their businesses and protect their intellectual property, and their privacy, from data miners and malicious hackers." Sekur is a closed-loop platform with layers of security and SekurVPN is an extension of its commitment to privacy. The company’s existing corporate products like SekurMail and SekurMessenger offer users complete privacy because its code is unavailable for the manipulation that causes hacks, and its Swiss hosting protects users from privacy intrusive laws. In today’s day and age of hacking and cybersecurity threats, it is important to have access to true privacy, and Sekur can help you achieve just that. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. Sekur Private Data Ltd. is a Cybersecurity and Internet privacy provider of Swiss hosted solutions for secure communications and secure data management. The Company distributes a suite of secure cloud-based storage, disaster recovery, document management, encrypted e-mails, and secure communication tools.

Angie Avers Shares Why She Left Corporate World to Buy & Grow Minuteman Press Franchise in Phoenix, AZ

Minuteman Press International Inc

Angie Avers has owned her Minuteman Press franchise in Phoenix, Arizona since July of 2021. In this interview, Angie shares how she no longer felt valued as an employee working for others, why she felt comfortable taking the leap into business ownership with Minuteman Press, and how she has successfully grown her business. Angie’s Minuteman Press center is located at 2432 W. Peoria Ave., Suite 1023, Phoenix, AZ 85029. What does it mean to you to be a business owner? Why did you choose Minuteman Press? Angie Avers: “I left the corporate environment after nearly 30 years because I was tired of working for someone else and not feeling valued as an employee. I also struggled with finding a new job for over 2 years as well. One day on LinkedIn, the Minuteman Press opportunity presented itself and I inquired about it. I thought to myself, I have nothing to lose at this point so why not? I was later contacted by Brady Rockwell from the Minuteman Press Int’l team and it all started to become real. I started to panic and almost walked away from this opportunity, but after looking at what Minuteman Press International has accomplished and what they were about, I was sold! I knew they wouldn’t judge me for my age or my background and the key part of it all was ‘we’ll train you.’ My background is in marketing and communications, and why wouldn’t I want to help other business owners build their business with print and promotional products? I thought “this is a no brainer!” What has the support from Minuteman Press International been like for you? Angie Avers: “Minuteman support has been great. Whenever I have a problem with FLEX the team always helps me and if I have other issues, I’m always directed to the correct person. There is so much information in FLEX that I still would like to learn even more. Jack Panzer, my local RVP in Arizona, and Sky Hittle, our Field Rep, are always there to help and be there for when I need help or they direct me to where I need to be.” What do you think sets you apart from the competition? Angie Avers: “I describe my business as a ‘full-service print and marketing design company exclusively ran by women.’ We have a plethora of resources at our fingertips and if we can’t do it in-house, we always have resources to help. I believe what sets us apart is our strong work ethic, our honesty with our customers, and our customer service.” What are your high-demand products and key growth areas? Angie Avers: “It’s really hard to say what our high-demand products are. Our core is still paper products, but we are growing other areas. One area we have grown substantially is our design services. New business owners come into our shop all the time. We discuss what their initial needs are and we start with their logo and colors. From there, we build upon what their other needs are and help them brand other products they may need for their business. One customer comes to mind, where we started from scratch with their logo, then brochures and flyers, labels, and now trade show equipment and promotional products. It’s been super fun helping them build their brand and grow their business.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business? Angie Avers: “One of the biggest ways I grew my business was through an acquisition and it doubled my business last year. I also network with BNI and other organizations when I have a chance. I have started doing more email marketing now that my learning curve has minimized some. Our foot traffic into the shop has also grown. When I took over the business, we put up all new window graphics and added two 14-ft. flags in front of the shop which is located on a main road. We have customers tell us all the time they saw our flags outside.” Why do you think printing remains so vital to businesses today? Angie Avers: “Print is vital because without it, everything would just be shapes and images. A world cannot go without print. We wouldn’t even know how to read if we didn’t have print. So, it is vital for sure.” What are the biggest personal and professional rewards of owning your business? Angie Avers: “Personally, I like answering to myself and making myself accountable for what is happening in my business. I thrive on giving my all to our customers and having a team that gets the job done without me chasing after them all the time. My goal is to be a million-dollar shop before I retire and professionally speaking, I just love helping businesses in my community come alive and building those relationships to sell other products.” What advice would you give to other business owners right now? Angie Avers: “Do your research, put together your pros and cons on being a business owner, and while it’s scary to take the plunge, you’ll never know unless you try. Change is hard for a lot of people, but you don’t grow staying in the same place where you are unhappy. Challenge yourself to be the best you. I did and it was the best decision I ever made. I love what I’m doing, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.” Angie Avers’ Minuteman Press franchise is located at 2432 W. Peoria Ave., Suite 1023, Phoenix, AZ 85029.

From Releasing A Public Course On Using ChatGPT To Leveraging The AI To Improve Company Efficiency — Amesite (NASDAQ: AMST) Looks Ahead Of The Curve For Integrating ChatGPT

Amesite Inc.

By David Willey, Benzinga Click here to read the latest report on Amesite Inc. ChatGPT has shown the potential changes that generative artificial intelligence can bring to the market. Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST), a Detroit-based AI software company, has set out the progress it has made in integrating generative AI into its platform. The release of ChatGPT showcased the capabilities and potential of generative AI, which is able to produce increasingly sophisticated original content. The Everything as a Service (XaaS) market, which includes products like generative AI, is predicted to reach $1.2 trillion by 2031 growing at a compound annual growth rate of 23.4% between 2021 and 2031, according to a study from Spherical Insights & Consulting. Unsurprisingly, investing in AI capabilities remains a top priority for businesses as they look for new ways to harness innovations in AI technology. For companies like Amestie that also have exposure to the e-learning market, there could be additonal opportunities to merge growth in both, with the overall global e-learning market projected to climb to nearly $1 trillion by 2028. A lot of uncertainty remains, however, around strategies for systematically integrating generative AI and systems like ChatGPT’s language model, GPT-3. The education sector in particular has shown an unwillingness to adopt the technology, with at least one school district blocking the program’s website, and universities holding internal meetings to discuss how to control the impact of ChatGPT. Amesite, on the other hand, has always had an AI-first strategy. Founded in 2018 to provide a platform and content for the best upskilling and e-learning opportunities, Amesite’s approach has allowed the platform to quickly pivot to integrate the latest AI technology into its system. Amesite Shareholder Presentation Amesite Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Anne Marie Sastry recently shared an update for shareholders over a call. In it, she discussed the company’s financial position, as well as the steps the company has taken to integrate GPT-3 into its platform and business model. Sastry reported that Amesite has had an increase in both its revenue and sales pipeline over the past four quarters and that the company has seen an overall increase in operational efficiency in the same time period. She identified the integration of generative AI into the coding and business operations as a key factor in driving the efficiency and outreach gains made by the company. Sastry made a series of Amesite stock purchases in February and March 2023, buying a total of 6,000 shares of common stock in the company for a purchase price of $16,800. This means Sastry, who has never sold any of her common stock shares in Amesite, now owns over 531,000 shares. This kind of insider buying, where a CEO purchases company stock, generally indicates optimism by company executives about the future growth and stock value of a company. Leveraging AI Developments Sastry commented during the shareholder update on how Amesite is keeping up with the fast-paced developments in the AI industry. As part of its generative AI offerings, Amesite launched new learning and creative assistants that help course designers create content for the platform. It also released a publicly available course on the fundamentals of using ChatGPT. According to Sastry’s presentation, the announcement of Amesite’s ChatGPT content resulted in a five times increase in site traffic. Amesite continues to host eLearning and upskilling programs that have a 99% learner retention rate for businesses, non-profits, and institutes of higher education. Amesite recently announced a pilot program in partnership with Benedict College, as part of the company’s alliance with the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO). The Benedict College Pilot is an upskilling program that gives students the skills to thrive in a tech-driven economy. "Benedict’s commitment to their students is admirable, and Amesite is proud to be able to provide them with a scalable online infrastructure and technology upskilling content to enable them to deliver this learning with excellence. This pilot is another example of how we can deliver much-needed upskilling campus-wide, very efficiently," said Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, Founder and CEO of Amesite. Other companies in the online learning space include Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR), 2U (NASDAQ: TWOU) and Powerschool Holdings Inc. (NYSE: PWSC). Interested in learning more about Amesite?

This Fintech Is Finally Making Daily Payouts For Tipped Workers A Reality In The Post-Cash Era

Benzinga

By Johnny Rice, Benzinga With the advent of fintech and neo-banking, many issues and pain points that have long plagued the traditional financial system have been alleviated. Accessing personal finances has never been easier. Whether applying for a loan, budgeting or cashing a check, much of an individual’s financial life is mediated digitally. This has meant huge growth for the industry. Fintechs have received billions in funding from investors and VCs looking for the next “unicorn”, looking to repeat the explosive success of companies like Block Inc (NYSE: SQ) or PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: PYPL). That growth will likely be driven by innovative companies that continue to find problems and solve them, helping with issues that everyday people experience. One of these major issues is payment for those in the service industry. Payment can be inconsistent and complicated due to splitting tips – often making up a lion's share of their income. Beyond a mere inconvenience, this can lead to major issues, like cash shortages while waiting for payday that lead to a worker needing to rely on a predatory payday loan. Getting paid daily can be life-changing for many in the industry. Waiting for payment on labor already performed can, in a sense, be viewed as extending an interest-free loan to your employer. This is one reason why fintech company XTM Inc. (OTCQB: XTMIF | CSE: PAID) has seen much success and rapid growth as of late. The company, founded in cloud banking, has a flagship product called Today Financial, which makes it easy for companies to pay their employees every day, including the tips collected that very same day. Today Payments offers a portal that lets businesses easily manage their payments and tips across multiple locations. It includes tip calculation that removes human error and cost. For employees, Today offers an app called Today Financial, that allows workers to keep track of their finances, spend their money easily and enjoy various perks like cash back rewards, purchase protection and more. XTM started in Canada, where it enjoys a large market share, and is now expanding into the US market – about 11 times the size. The company believes its sound business plan, great product, and attention to the needs of its users will allow it to thrive in the US. This article was originally published on Benzinga here.

New to The Street airs The Sustainable Green Team, Ltd.'s (OTCQX: SGTM) ($SGTM) HumiSoil Product Commercial. The onset of modern agricultural methods with the innovation of synthetic fertilizers is destroying soil's natural components. Soil has lost the ability to maintain nutrients and water from the overused non-organic fertilizers. Humus is the main compound of soil, the energy of the ground, which is like a battery storing much-needed nutrients and water for the growth of crops. A depletion of a soil's energy reduces crop yields. The soil cannot regenerate or recharge without humus for future crop yields. A sustainable solution is SGTM's HumiSoil product which uses less water, no fertilizer requirements, and can yield 100% organic vegetables, fruits, and flowers. The product rebuilds soil hydration on a cellular level and keeps CO2 from being released into the atmosphere, creating an organic soil composition that feels and smells very earthy. HumiSoil has a "Zero-Carbon" footprint and works in any climate, soil, and atmospheric conditions as a sustainable organic product. The Earth has a population of about 8 billion people, and sustainability will be the key to future generations' access to sustainable agricultural products to ensure healthy and robust food sources. HumiSoil is now available for gardeners and farmers. The Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. and VRM BioLogik Group have a strategic relationship, and a distribution agreement, whereas SGTM can produce and sell HumiSoil in the USA / Caribbean markets. The HumiSoil product commercial will air on Newsmax TV, episode 449, March 18, 2023, 3:30 PM ET and on the FOX Business Network, episode 450, March 20, 2023, 10:30 PM PT.

Umbra Applied Technologies Group, Inc.

McapMediaWire -- Umbra Applied Technologies Group, Inc.

Over the past several weeks, the Company has onboarded five new account managers across eleven cities in Texas with expansion into the New England area currently underway. The Company has slated the second fiscal quarter of the year for expansion across four major metropolitan cities in Louisiana and across twenty-one major metropolitan cities in Florida. Ossifix CEO, Mark Estrada, stated: “We are currently in the process of expanding operations and onboarding distribution channels in select target regions. Additionally, in Q2 we will launch two unique foot and ankle product lines.” The Company projects more than one-hundred surgeries to be completed in Q2 alone with a 20% increase month over in growth. Results from initial surgeries have demonstrated early ambulation trend with many patients driving the next day. Results of the surgeries have dramatically increased interest in the Javelin pin which formed the basis for the Company’s decision to start expansion and led to the Company to begin increasing its salesforce. Constructed of select, high-density, allograft, cortical bone, the proprietary design of the Ossifix Orthopedics Javelin pin ensures rigid fixation without pin slip or pirouetting. Manufactured of 100% allograft bone, Ossifix implants are designed for small bone, extremities, and sports medicine markets, but have applications in the craniofacial, spine and oral surgery procedures. Resorbable implant technology is readily accepted and used in today’s market, both domestically and globally. Ossifixs’ unique manufacturing process and designs yield an engineered cortical bone implant that provides secure fixation and virtually eliminates any allergic or autoimmune reactions associated with metal or plastic/polymer implants. All Ossifix Orthopedics Pin, Screw and Plate Systems are single-use surgical kits with all necessary instruments for implantation and are based on decades of clinical experience and use in the operating room. Ossifix products are designed to be used in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and specialty clinics. Distribution is scheduled throughout North America, and globally in Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, as well as the Middle East and Africa. This global market is currently experiencing an estimated growth of 14% per year and is expected to reach $4.696 billion in sales this year.
