Intelligent Messaging, AI and Integration with Oracle Eloqua Delivers Connected Experiences Across Channels and Devices for Leading Global Organization
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Swrve, the global leader in intelligent customer engagement across devices, today announced that the Movember Foundation, the leading global organization committed to changing the face of men’s health has leveraged Swrve’s AI-enabled platform to improve the reach and advance the relevance of in-app and push messaging. These efforts have led to a 3x lift in engagement amongst Android users, over 90,000 opens across both Android and iOS on promotional push messaging, and a 48% increase in email revenue as a result of a multichannel approach to messaging.
“We saw higher push notification engagement rates than ever before, and for the first time we were able to send transactional push notifications to let our fundraisers know in real time when they received a donation,” said Meaghan Bilinski, Digital Marketing & Automation Director. “We were thrilled to work with Swrve to enhance our mobile communications. They have been one of the best marketing tech vendors I’ve ever worked with,” added Jeff Guthrie, Business Analyst and Movember’s technical Swrve implementation lead.
Movember integrated Swrve with Oracle Eloqua, and leveraged Swrve’s capabilities to run an in-app and push notification campaign that fit seamlessly into existing customer journeys. This allowed Movember to stream customer data from Oracle Eloqua into Swrve in real time, allowing them to base push messaging on what a subscriber has or hasn’t done across email, mobile, and web. With this real-time connection, Movember used Swrve to send well-timed, personalized push messaging for both transactional and promotional campaigns that were also running via email, successfully build and send custom onboarding experiences within the app, and highlight new app features that customers had not seen yet.
“Swrve is thrilled that Movember has realized increases in engagement amongst mobile audiences and boosts in overall revenue by leveraging Swrve,” says Tom Aitchison, CEO, Swrve. “By implementing Swrve to improve the reach and relevance of its messaging, the company is connecting with users on mobile in ways that will continue to inspire more opens, clicks, and, ultimately, donations.”

Program Brings Public Cloud-Like Purchasing Flexibility to Private and Hybrid Cloud Data Management
SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloudian today announced a consumption model financing program that provides customers with a public cloud-like payment option for on-premises private and hybrid cloud storage. Enterprises can now deploy the company’s exabyte-scalable object storage platform without having to purchase anything up front, instead paying only for the capacity they use each month. At the same time, the new program—initially available in the U.S.—offers advantages over both public cloud services and leasing.
Traditionally, enterprises have bought storage systems up front, which typically means paying for more capacity than initially needed and incurring capital expense (CAPEX). However, as Deloitte noted in a recent Flashpoints Perspectives paper, “increasingly, customers are demanding that they be able to consume offerings … in a flexible, scalable, and secure manner. Customers want to be able to choose where, how, and how much they consume and pay for.”
Like public cloud services, Cloudian’s consumption model program provides a pay-as-you-go approach in which costs are treated as operating expense (OPEX).
“Customers can now experience all the benefits of Cloudian’s limitlessly scalable, cloud-compatible storage platform under a flexible financial model,” said John Harris, vice president of sales and chief operating officer at AE Business Solutions, a leading IT integration and workforce management company. “This approach is particularly well-suited to those that want to align storage costs with usage, such as managed service providers and organizations that offer storage-as-a-service to internal stakeholders.”
While providing public cloud-like financing, Cloudian eliminates public cloud latency issues and data access charges, both of which can be quite significant when dealing with large data volumes. The company’s storage solutions also enable customers to maintain full control of their data on-premises but still extend to the public cloud as desired, with Cloudian delivering seamless data movement and management across environments.
“In addition to the advantages over public cloud services, the new program offers an attractive OPEX-based alternative to leasing,” said Jon Toor, chief marketing officer at Cloudian. “This is particularly timely as recent accounting changes have made it harder to use leases as a way of reducing CAPEX.”
Cloudian’s consumption model financing is available today. For additional details on the program, see http://bit.ly/Cloudian_Consumption_Model.

CARMEL, Ind., Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Determine, Inc. (OTCQB: DTRM), a pioneering leader in global Source-to-Pay and Enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management (ECLM) Cloud Platform solutions, announced today the release of the Determine Online Store, an Open Catalog Interface (OCI) developed to allow SAP SRM customers (and other ERPs) to rapidly deploy a best-practice catalog management solution and offer users an intuitive, Google-like search experience combined with an e-commerce buying experience.
“Since SAP’s official announcement of the planned end of mainstream maintenance for SRM 7.0 by December 31, 2025, SAP customers have only two options: launching a complete Procure-to-Pay vendor selection process (a complex project with high organizational impact); or deploying an Open Catalog Interface connector for catalog management. The Determine R&D team has designed the Determine Online Store to provide a safer alternative for all SAP SRM customers, allowing them to save time while organizing a new strategy for the 2025 deadline.”
— Patrick Stakenas, President, CEO and Director, Determine, Inc.
What is an OCI?
OCI is one of the standard formats used by SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) and other ERP/Purchasing Systems when connecting to external punch-out catalogs.

At this year’s Warranty Chain Management Conference, Megaputer Intelligence will host a 3-hour workshop on “Identifying Warranty Cost, Emerging Issues, & Fraud Using Text Analysis.”
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Megaputer Intelligence, Inc., a leading data and text mining solution provider, is hosting a workshop at the 2019 Warranty Chain Management Conference (WCM) held in Orlando, Florida on March 12-14.
The WCM Conference is an annual platform that brings together nearly 300 warranty professionals and executives as well as providers of analytics tools and other services. Dr. Sergei Ananyan, CEO of Megaputer Intelligence, will hold a three-hour training workshop on Tuesday, March 12th at 2:00pm, on “Identifying Warranty Cost, Emerging Issues & Fraud Using Text Analysis.”
Workshop Overview
To reveal the true picture of warranty repairs, we need to go beyond the analysis of structured data alone. Structured codes frequently turn out to be incomplete and misleading. The associated textual notes, however, provide significantly more reliable and in-depth information on each incident. Armed with this information, we can derive valuable insights for improving the design, engineering, and production processes, estimating the dynamics of the cost of repairs, and detecting and investigating possible fraud and abuse.
This workshop outlines how a solution that combines textual and structured data analysis has helped a large automobile manufacturer answer the following questions:
This session will outline ways to derive valuable insights from textual descriptions of the performed repairs and the associated structured data, discuss techniques for creating actionable outputs, and business considerations that drive final decisions. Attendees will learn about the typical pitfalls of data analysis projects and ways to work around them. Additionally, the workshop will provide a simple cost-benefit analysis process to consider when introducing advanced text and data analytics in a warranty management program.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is designed for people interested in discovering key drivers of warranty costs and their time evolution for individual product models, detecting emerging issues early, and unveiling systematic anomalies and potential fraud in the behavior of individual dealers.
The target audience for this workshop includes:
While we discuss an example taken from the automotive industry, the presented methodology, challenges and solutions are directly applicable to the analysis of warranty and repair data of any product manufacturer. Attendees from the following industries are specially invited:

N4W addresses the challenges and hurdles women+ experience in the workplace by providing opportunities and support for women in tech to achieve success on their own terms
TORONTO, Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vena Solutions, the fastest growing provider of cloud-based financial planning and analysis (FP&A) software, is proud to announce the launch of Network for Women (N4W). N4W is a grassroots initiative founded by Vena employees that provides access and opportunities for those who identify as women to network, foster leadership skills and connect with mentors across Toronto’s growing technology community.
The official N4W launch took place at Vena’s Toronto headquarters last week and featured a panel discussion titled Challenge & Change: Navigating the Tech Space. The conversation drew on first-hand experiences, positive and negative, unpacking a range of issues including:
The organization focuses on supporting and enhancing women’s professional development. Future events will include workshops, employee mentorship programs, community outreach initiatives and partnerships with other women’s networks locally.
N4W will also collect and benchmark company and industry statistics on gender equity, bias, and diversity in the workplace to recognize accomplishments and identify areas that warrant further improvement.
“Carrie Tanguay and I co-founded the Network for Women due to the challenges we have personally faced, and witnessed other women face, within the industry,” said Shayenda Suyeshkumar, Co-Chair of the Network for Women. “Studies show that women are leaving technology companies at a higher rate than men, and that there is less representation of women in leadership positions. We are creating a space for women+ to come together to share both their setbacks and successes, provide each other with guidance and mentorship, and ultimately create a real sense of community and solidarity.”
“Vena is committed to creating an environment where gender equity is simply a given,” said Don Mal, CEO at Vena Solutions. “As a company, we’ve made great strides in terms of inclusivity and diversity, but we continue to strive to set the bar for the industry. We are confident that N4W will help guide Vena in the right direction. I am personally very proud of the founders of N4W and continue to encourage employee-led initiatives within the organization.”

CARMEL, Ind., Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Determine, Inc. (OTCQB: DTRM), a pioneering leader in global Source-to-Pay and Enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management (ECLM) Cloud Platform solutions, announced today the release of the Determine Online Store, an Open Catalog Interface (OCI) developed to allow SAP SRM customers (and other ERPs) to rapidly deploy a best-practice catalog management solution and offer users an intuitive, Google-like search experience combined with an e-commerce buying experience.
“Since SAP’s official announcement of the planned end of mainstream maintenance for SRM 7.0 by December 31, 2025, SAP customers have only two options: launching a complete Procure-to-Pay vendor selection process (a complex project with high organizational impact); or deploying an Open Catalog Interface connector for catalog management. The Determine R&D team has designed the Determine Online Store to provide a safer alternative for all SAP SRM customers, allowing them to save time while organizing a new strategy for the 2025 deadline.”
— Patrick Stakenas, President, CEO and Director, Determine, Inc.
What is an OCI?
OCI is one of the standard formats used by SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) and other ERP/Purchasing Systems when connecting to external punch-out catalogs.
It is used to define the field mapping between supplier catalogs and the SAP SRM shopping cart to ensure accurate data transfer between the source (supplier catalog) and receiver (SAP SRM). This standard format is used instead of XML or cXML code.
This integration allows users to find items in supplier catalogs and return them to SAP SRM for workflow approval, accounting assignment and subsequent processing — invoicing, payment, receipt, etc.
“Determine is a flexible and powerful tool that adapts easily to our business challenges and the complexity of our organization. It’s also an easy-to-use tool for users, with an experience like that of e-commerce sites. We were able to verify it during implementation.”
