New Digital Badge Program Elevates Cority Software Users as Platform Experts

  • Online learning tool boosts employee engagement, enables sharable verification of skills

Leading global enterprise EHS (Environmental Health & Safety) software provider Cority announced today the launch of a Digital Badge Program to enable Cority users to celebrate training accomplishments and visually demonstrate their proficiency with Cority’s best-in-class platform. As adoption of Cority’s products grows across a spectrum of industries worldwide, the new program allows users to earn virtual badges, publicly share their successes, and immediately validate their expertise. Companies in turn gain assurance that employees are current with core competencies that impact daily operations, boost productivity, and increase profitability.

The Digital Badge Program is the latest employee-centric approach to EHS training from Cority Academy, which began in January 2022. The online learning platform, which employs gamification to engage employees with dynamic modules and quizzes, teaches Cority customers how to effectively use, adopt, and optimize the broad spectrum of EHS, Sustainability, and Quality software solutions that Cority offers.

Online learning and digital badging are powerful tools for employee engagement and professional development. A recent study from Research.com found that 90 percent of poll respondents preferred online learning to traditional learning methods, finding it more conducive to learning on the job.

“Cority is committed to providing users with unparalleled online learning tools that elevate their experience and benefit their organizations,” said Amanda Smith, Cority’s vice president of solutions marketing and enablement. “We partner with customers to empower people to make a difference and ensure employees are set up for success by creating customized programs that grow and flex with the unique and ever-evolving needs of the organization.”

Seventeen badges, awarded for proficiency in topic areas ranging from individual clouds, such as Safety or Environmental, to platform-centric tools such as Business Rules, are available today, and more are being planned. Users earn badges when they complete any of Cority’s curated learning paths and achieve a minimum score of 80.

Digital badges provide their earners with the ability to showcase their credentials with others virtually – on social media, as a direct link with potential employers, and as an addition to an email signature.

Each digital badge has a unique URL that includes metadata verifying the badge issuer and recipient, as well as the criteria for earning the badge. This allows current and prospective employers to validate a Cority digital badge holder’s competencies and skills with a single click.

Cority’s consistent recognition as a leader in Verdantix’s benchmark Green Quadrant for EHS Software report over the past five years has led many organizations to increasingly view its platform as an industry standard and seek employees trained to leverage its solutions.

“Experience with the software is in high demand, creating a valuable opportunity for our users,” added Smith. “Not only can they become internal experts and resources for existing teams, but they can also publicly showcase their sought-after skills.”

Standing out in today’s competitive market is critical, and according to a study by LinkedIn, profiles with certifications and badges are viewed six times more often than the average profile.

The Digital Badge Program’s pilot launched on March 27. The program is set to be available to all Cority customers by April 10.

FeedbackFruits Launches the Enhanced Version of Their Team Based Learning Tool for Digitizing Collaboration

The new Team Based Learning tool aims to drive student engagement and collaboration through streamlining team-based learning across modalities.

FeedbackFruits has released the new Team Based Learning, an LMS-integrated tool designed to digitize and scale collaborative learning across all course sizes and modalities.

Team Based Learning supports and enhances the facilitation of the entire team-based learning (TBL) process, a collaborative learning approach that gives students the possibility to apply their knowledge to solve single or multiple problems.

The development of the tool was initiated in collaboration with Deakin University and IE Business School, where TBL is one of the prominent pedagogical approaches. Both institutions wanted to develop an easy-to-use, LMS-integrated tool to accommodate different elements of TBL. The initial version of the tool was launched to help automate the individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT) and team Readiness Assurance Test (tRAT). FeedbackFruits then continued to work with Deakin University over the past year to further expand the tool’s capacity to cover all the major steps of the TBL process.

The new Team Based Learning presents several functionalities that support and optimize each stage of the TBL process. With the ability to add engaging pre-work assignments, adjust activity timing, decide on group representatives, and configure peer evaluation steps, instructors can streamline a complete collaborative activity in any modality. At the same time, students enjoy a meaningful learning experience where collaboration, autonomy, and accountability are maintained.

Dr. Svetlana Stevanovic emphasized the tool’s capacity for facilitating meaningful collaborative activities:

“I used FeedbackFruits for my first-year unit. The unit has a team-based learning component where students are expected to collaborate to reach a consensus on a specific topic/research question. They are required to do some reading before the class. The unit runs online and in person. I used Team Based Learning to facilitate peer assessment and integrate the quiz into the studio. The enrollment process worked well and enabled students to participate in groups. Students were actively engaged and liked the classes.”

For Joost Verdoorn, Chief Product Officer of FeedbackFruits, the launch marks an exciting chapter in the company’s story of driving effective pedagogy: “With this release, we show that FeedbackFruits is dedicated to supporting innovative and proven teaching methods, allowing students worldwide to enjoy better and more meaningful learning experiences.”

Since its first iteration, the tool has been adopted at 39 institutions worldwide and helped faculties create 197 courses with 865 TBL activities.

About FeedbackFruits
FeedbackFruits is an EdTech scale-up based in Amsterdam whose mission is to drive student engagement while increasing teacher productivity. The platform encompasses a range of learning activities such as self & peer assessment, online discussion, and team-based learning. The company is currently supporting over 100 institutions worldwide with 90+ employees. For more information, press only: marketing@feedbackfruits.com

CleverTap Gaming Unveiled at GDC 2023

CleverTap, the all-in-one customer engagement platform, today at Game Developers Conference 2023 unveiled CleverTap Gaming – soon to go live in the summer of 2023. Through full player management, the latest offering will help boost revenue from LiveOps, Lifecycle Marketing, and Remote Configuration by 3x with personalization across the entire player journey. The platform is powered by TesseractDB™, CleverTap’s proprietary data engine, which is built for real time triggering & segmentation with high performance, low latency, and massive economies of scale.

CleverTap Gaming brings holistic and sophisticated multi-channel campaigns inside and outside the in-game experience. With a simplified UI, it reduces the dependence on technical teams and increases operational efficiency. By leveraging CleverTap’s proprietary TesseractDB™, it offers rich granularity with unlimited data points and no restrictions on lookback period. Previously, the lack of these features could have been a limiting factor for game studios trying to maximize retention and lifetime value, but CleverTap Gaming unlocks these use cases enabling game studios to scale their personalization efforts to new heights. Also, given its versatility, CleverTap Gaming offers a vast array of benefits within various functions in typical game studios:

1. LiveOps: With over 2000 unique player attributes (10x more than industry average), LiveOps Managers can improve the relevance of their offers with much more granular insights into user behavior and preferences.

2. Marketing: Consumers have vastly different preferences and a single journey does not fit each and every one of them. As such, conditional logic, advanced branching, and unified composition flow across all channels can help marketers plan campaigns with contingencies in mind. The advanced segmentation feature can also help marketers create better targeted campaigns from the outset.

3. Development: The ability to integrate with existing backend solutions lowers the barrier to transition for gaming studios with other solutions. Native Unity SDK means the platform can enhance developer productivity and shorten release cycles considerably.

“Modern gaming is evolving. They are no longer static endpoints – and with features like LiveOps and Remote Configuration, developers are empowered to make changes in real time without the constraints of approvals and a relaunch.” said Lawrence Hsieh, Principal Product Manager at MobilityWare. “CleverTap Gaming gives us an all-in-one cost effective solution that ensures consistency and efficiency while not only developing, but also promoting an update.”

“With over 2.6 billion mobile game players globally, it is only a matter of time before the growth trajectory flattens out and retention becomes a bigger area of focus. We hope that CleverTap Gaming can accompany those studios looking to stay ahead of the curve by maximizing their pre-existing user base via personalized and relevant messaging.” said Sunil Thomas, Co-founder and Executive Chairman at CleverTap. “When we acquired Leanplum last year, we looked to strengthen our footprint within various verticals and geographies. CleverTap Gaming is another step in this direction, and we are confident that it will further accelerate our growth journey.”

Dazz Selected as Finalist for RSA Conference 2023 Innovation Sandbox Contest

  • Dazz Remediation Cloud platform recognized for its innovative ability to accelerate cloud-native remediation and reduce risk for security and development teams.

Dazz, the leader in cloud security remediation, has been named one of 10 finalists for the RSA Conference(TM) 2023 Innovation Sandbox contest for its work delivering the Dazz Remediation Cloud SaaS platform. Dazz will present its technology to a panel of renowned industry judges and a live in-person audience on Monday, April 24 at RSA Conference 2023 in San Francisco.

Since 2005, the RSAC Innovation Sandbox has served as a platform for the most promising young cybersecurity companies to showcase their groundbreaking technologies and compete for the title of “Most Innovative Startup.” The competition is widely recognized as a catapult for success and the top 10 finalists have collectively celebrated 75 acquisitions and received $12.5 billion in investments over the last 18 years. Dazz will have three minutes to pitch to the panel of judges before a question-and-answer round.

“The RSA Conference Innovation Sandbox contest is one of the most exciting highlights of the week as we get to watch 10 of the cybersecurity industry’s best and brightest up-and-coming stars shine on stage with provocative and cutting-edge ideas,” said Linda Gray Martin, Senior Vice President, RSA Conference. “The demanding challenges and threats we face are only getting more complex in both size and severity, and we need smart, determined and skilled individuals and companies to make an impact and help tackle what lies ahead.”

The Dazz Remediation Cloud is a SaaS platform that accelerates cloud-native remediation and risk reduction for security and development teams. The company’s patented Root Cause Analysis engine uniquely analyzes data collected from the entire architecture to learn which cloud resource caused the issue seen in the cloud security tool, trace the issue back to the pipeline that was used to deploy it, and discover what triggered its build. Through the Dazz platform, security teams can quickly uncover the commit and developer who applied the change, and then share root cause context for faster, more efficient developer remediation-without any changes to the architecture. As a result, teams are able to quickly uncover blind spots in the CI/CD pipeline, shrink alert backlog, and streamline fixes right in the developer’s workflow.

Dazz emerged out of stealth in December 2021, while announcing $60 million in funding. Its investors include some of the world’s most prominent venture capital firms, such as Insight Partners, Greylock, Index Ventures, and Cyberstarts. The company already counts 25 of the Fortune 500 as customers.

“We improve the lives of cloud security and development teams by taking the pain and inefficiency out of the manual remediation process,” said Merav Bahat, co-founder and CEO of Dazz. “Instead of chasing a never-ending backlog, security teams can now rapidly prioritize the issues that matter most and communicate fixes with context to developers. On average, our customers experience MTTR improvements of 90%, their security and development teams collaborate better together with less friction, and achieve zero criticals within hours.”

The RSAC Innovation Sandbox contest kicks off at 12:00 p.m. PT on April 24, and winners will be announced at 3:00 p.m. the same day. The panel of renowned expert judges includes Niloofar Howe, Sr. Operating Partner at Energy Impact Partners; Paul Kocher, Independent Researcher; Shlomo Kramer, Co-founder and CEO, Cato Networks; Barmak Meftah, Co-Founder & General Partner at Ballistic Ventures; and Christopher Young, Executive Vice President of Business Development Strategy and Ventures at Microsoft. Hugh Thompson, Program Committee Chair of RSA Conference, will return to host the contest.

Raynauld Liang, Society Pass Inc Chief Financial Officer, explains, “Our compelling fourth quarter 2022 and full year 2022 financial results validate our acquisitions-focused business plan here in SEA. For 4Q 2022 and full year 2022, we achieved year on year revenue growth of 530% and 984%, respectively. By comparison, for 4Q 2022 and full year 2022, we recognised year on year cash operating expense growth of only 128% and 323%, respectively. In other words, despite growing at breakneck pace in the five largest economies of SEA, our revenues are growing much faster than our expenses. We focused on dramatically improving our gross margins, whilst generating outsized revenue growth in our lifestyle, digital advertising and travel businesses.

For 2023, the company’s management continues to focus on substantially improving our operating margins by driving cost efficiencies across our SoPa ecosystem and increasing revenues in our six verticals via organic growth and acquisitions. As a result, our management team forecasts achieving profitability in 2H 2023, which is a year earlier than our prior forecasts of 2H 2024.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this document also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures based on management’s view of performance including cash operating expenses.

When preparing these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures we typically exclude certain GAAP items that management does not consider to be normal, recurring non-cash operating expenses.
