Mike File Launches Crowdfunding Project to Fund Web & App Development Classes for Young Adults with Disabilities

Crowdfunding to create a tech training center to teach young adults with disabilities how to create apps & websites at no cost to them.

Dickinson, Texas, USA (March 2, 2015) — As a retired special education high school teacher and current mobile application and website developer, Mike File identified a unique opportunity to connect adults with disabilities to a life-changing opportunity by which they can achieve higher goals and succeed in life.

To this end, Mr. File wants to create a technology incubator to help young adults with disabilities learn to develop mobile applications and websites without the financial worry of paying for the classes they would be taking. His target students are those who were very high functioning in high school, but due to lack of ability to access the curriculum, or their social skills, their school was not able to give them a proper preparation for their post-secondary education, they were not able to get into college to continue their education.

Drawing on his vast sets of skills in education and mobile app development, he hopes to leverage all of his professional experience to expand the technology training center he launched after retiring from the school system to provide classes for special young people valuable technology skills for a productive and successful career either as freelancers or employees.

Crowdfunding is sought to allow Mr. File to purchase the computers and teaching materials and cover related costs enabling the students to hit the ground running -without a penny from any student’s pocket. After completion of the program each student will given their own laptop loaded with training and development software, as well as Developer Accounts so they can start creating and selling content. These classes are scheduled to begin in May.

This crowdfunding campaign ends in April.The Teaching Adults with Disabilities App Development Page can be found at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/teaching-adults-with-disabilities-app-development–2/x/9376669.

About Mike File
After spending 16 years as a special ed teacher on a high school campus, his first experience with an iPad in 2010 led him on a journey of discovery to professional reinvention as a mobile app developer running his own company. At present he has 20 apps in the App Store for iPhones and iPads, 6 apps in Google Play for Android Devices, and 5 Apps in the Windows Store for Windows 8 devices. Retiring from teaching at the end of school year in 2014, he found himself launching The Tech Lounge, a technology training center, teaching classes on how to use mobile devices. Although he left teaching he didn’t leave his students behind; staying in touch with them he learned of all the difficulties they face with their careers. This discovery inspired him to pursue his latest dream; being able to provide these former students the skills, and equipment to have careers as web application developers.

XebiaLabs Launches XL Satellite Technology for Global Software Deployments

Enabling globally-distributed application deployments.

Boston, MA (USA), February 25th, 2015 — XebiaLabs, the leading provider of software for DevOps and Continuous Delivery at scale, today announced the launch of its new XL Satellite technology, available first for application release automation solution XL Deploy. This unique minimal-footprint technology provides intelligent global deployment so companies can easily deploy at scale to datacenters around the world.

Enterprises today have multiple datacenters distributed across the globe, often connected through critical but high-latency, low-bandwidth networks. When software can’t be transferred reliably, it’s impossible to carry out truly global deployments, even with standard agents. XL Satellite technology uses fault-tolerant protocols optimized for WAN connections, providing reliability and scalability for the global deployment process.

“Deploying to tens or hundreds of servers in a single datacenter or cloud region is a reasonably simple problem from a technical perspective,” said Vincent Partington, CTO of XebiaLabs. “Our users are deploying to thousands or tens of thousands of servers spread across the globe and connected by high-latency, low-bandwidth networks. Operating reliably and efficiently at that kind of scale requires new technology. With XL Satellite, we have created the most advanced agentless distributed remote execution framework available today – something no other product on the market can offer.”

XL Satellite Technology Bolsters XL Deploy for Multiple Data Centers:
XL Satellite technology ensures high availability across multiple data centers, whether they’re in the cloud, on premise, or hybrid. XebiaLabs developed this new technology in response to high demand from customers and decision makers in medium and large enterprises with global presence. One satellite per data center handles deployments to local servers agentlessly, limiting maintenance, configuration overhead, and scalability issues. XL Satellite technology brings increased reliability to XL Deploy for distributed enterprise environments.

More About XL Deploy:
XL Deploy automates the deployment process for a company’s software applications, so deployments occur in a repeatable, standard and efficient way. As the leading application release automation software, it helps organizations deliver higher quality software faster. XL Deploy is agentless, model-based and fully automates the last mile of the Continuous Delivery process by eliminating the need for scripting.

XL Deploy also features out-of-the-box integration with all leading build, provisioning, middleware and cloud solutions. The solution combines intelligent deployment automation, a rich content set covering everything from Docker to WebSphere, and seamless integration into the application delivery ecosystem.

Availability:
XL Satellite technology will soon be available as part of the XL Deploy 5.0 enterprise edition release, scheduled for March. For more information visit: http://xebialabs.com/products/ or call (866) 656-4408 or write to sales-us@xebialabs.com.

About XebiaLabs:
XebiaLabs is the fastest-growing global provider of automation software for DevOps and Continuous Delivery, helping companies to accelerate the delivery of new software. XebiaLabs’ products provide the automation, efficiency, and insight organizations want to include continuous delivery as part of their evolving agile development strategies to meet the relentless demand for shorter software deployment cycles and more frequent releases.

Paper Has Won the ‘Go Paperless’ Battle Says New Company ChartaCloud

Company Announces Deployments at Apex Healthcare Services and The Generator Connection.

Exeter, NH, USA (February 11, 2015) — ChartaCloud Technologies, LLC (“ChartaCloud”) today announced the launch of its new cloud-based ecosystem dedicated to business forms processing and automation. This ecosystem is designed to enable businesses to adopt end-to-end solutions that accelerate the collection of business-critical information from remote workers and customers, eliminating the need for manual data entry from forms and to transition to ‘paper lite’ business operations. ChartaCloud’s mission is to “bring the best of paper to the digital age” using an integrated suite of technologies designed to let companies use paper when and where they want or need it and have instant access to digital versions of paper documents when they want to save time and money.

ChartaCloud enables businesses to leverage existing investments in their ‘tried and true’ paper forms and paper-driven processes. The ChartaCloud platform delivers: ‘smart’ paper-based forms that interact with digital pens, handwritten data extraction, tablet and mobile forms processing, task and dispatch management, customizable workflow systems, document collaboration systems, and integration with popular line of business software applications such as QuickBooks, Sage, SalesForce.com and many others. The Company’s solutions enhance operational speed and performance, improve cash collection, ensure adherence to proscribed business processes, and reduce expenses while increasing accuracy and competiveness in a mobile, digital and collaborative age.

“ChartaCloud is about leveraging the best attributes of paper, digital technologies, and advances in cloud computing to create a significantly more productive cohabitation of paper and digital technologies. It is no longer just about eliminating paper. With ChartaCloud, companies avoid the business impact of IT development, deployment, and the re-training costs required to chase the idea of going ‘totally paperless’. The more productive path is for businesses to advance the effective use of existing paper forms and documents into the digital age, and yes, eliminate the waste that surrounds the unnecessary or poorly managed use of paper,” said Lauryn Schimmel, managing director, ChartaCloud. “Our customers have the ability to use, capture, process, manage, and access paper forms electronically and to move forms securely through their proven business processes. Companies want to share form documents and the data they contain easily, instantly, and perform completion and compliance auditing. We provide companies with the ability to extract the data that is now hidden as ‘dark content’ on paper forms for business analytics and send that data into existing business applications automatically – without manual data entry or scanning. Companies can now turn to paper only when and where it is needed. With ChartaCloud, businesses can build upon what works for them and not radically replace it,” Schimmel added.

The Company noted that the landscape is full of siloed, piecemeal technologies and that many business owners do not have the time, skills and expertise to sort through it all, put it together, and work themselves through to a successful cost-effective implementation.

“Companies today are also grappling with growing regulations and documentation compliance concerns. They are aware of the business efficiencies to be gained through mobile technologies and ‘anytime, anywhere’ operations. Our company was designed to bring ‘best of breed’ technology solutions that enable companies in many different verticals ranging from healthcare to field services to optimize their use of technology to attain their goals in short order,” continued Lauryn Schimmel.

“APEX Healthcare has always been about providing the very best in home health care services. The use of advanced technology has played a significant role in our ability to do so. ChartaCloud has been more than instrumental as a solution provider and partner that enabled us to move to the next level of care and service for our clients while sustaining HIPPA regulatory compliance,” said Cheryl Rumley, CEO, of APEX Healthcare Services, Inc.

“The Generator Connection had been searching for a solution to our forms processing vision, one that we felt would best meet our needs and budget. When we began working with ChartaCloud, we not only rapidly created what we were seeking but we found a supportive partner deeply committed to be engaged with us every step of the way and that was refreshing. Within a matter of just a couple of weeks after implementing the services of ChartaCloud, we have been able to streamline a number of our processes and techniques,” said Ryan Noyes, Service Manager at The Generator Connection.

ChartaCloud delivers a full service approach to help each client attain maximum efficiencies and cost reduction surrounding their current form-driven business processes. ChartaCloud consults with each of its customers to understand their forms, business model and day-to-day operations in order to determine the ideal solution that will not only serve their present needs but provide a foundation for continued growth, innovation and success in the future.

“With ChartaCloud, our customers need only define the ‘what’. We do the ‘how’. These are the drivers that gave rise to ChartaCloud,” Schimmel concluded.

About ChartaCloud
ChartaCloud Technologies, LLC is located in Exeter, NH. Our mission is to be the ‘bridge between the paper and digital worlds’. With more than 25 years of experience in forms automation and processing as a services company, we specialize in providing end-to-end, full service solutions that bring the ‘best of paper to the digital era’.

Toronto (ON), Canada (February 9, 2015) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Graphic Inspector 2, a major upgrade to its quality control solution for images and vector graphic files.

Cyberoam Extends its Layer-8 Technology Innovation; Brings User Threat Quotient to Spot Risky Network Users at a Glance

Cyberoam has introduced a unique capability – User Threat Quotient (UTQ) – to help IT security managers identify users posing security risks with ease.

Edison, NJ (USA), February 07th, 2015 — Cyberoam, a leading global provider of network security appliances has introduced a unique capability – User Threat Quotient (UTQ) – to help IT security managers identify users posing security risks with ease. With UTQ, Cyberoam extends its own innovation of Layer-8 technology and turns over a new leaf in user-identity focused security. Available on Cyberoam’s Next-Generation Firewall and UTM appliances, UTQ harnesses information derived out of user’s web traffic to determine risky users that pose security and / or legal risks.

Studies have proved that users are the weakest link in the security chain and patterns of human behavior can be used to predict and prevent attacks. Said Mr. Abhilash Sonwane, SVP, Products and Technology, Cyberoam, “Enterprise networks generate lots of data with ample clues into user-triggered events, but the information remains incomprehensible and correlating data from various logs and reports takes time and special skills, and is subject to the risk of human oversight.”

Given this scenario, a security manager wishing for a science fiction-like capability to preempt and mitigate threats shouldn’t come as a surprise. The ongoing paradigm shift towards pre-emptive security shares some signs of such capabilities. Many organizations and security managers are leveraging big data analytics tools to capture early signs of specific user actions or network event patterns that may hint at a possible ongoing attack or anomaly.

Commenting further, Mr. Sonwane added, “Most security teams struggle with timely detection of risk-prone user behaviour since they remain devoid of required actionable security data. User Threat Quotient (UTQ) from Cyberoam effortlessly profiles suspicious web behavior of network users, helping security teams with actionable inputs and relieving them from having to go through a labyrinth of massive logs.”

The User Threat Quotient (UTQ) studies the web behavior of users by analyzing massive data of allowed and denied web traffic for web categories like IP Address, P2P, Phishing and Fraud, Porn, Spam URL, Spyware, URL Translation Sites and more that pose security and legal risks.

The User Threat Quotient helps CSOs / IT security managers by:

1. Spotting risky users based on their web behavior at a glance without manual efforts
2. Removing complexity in analyzing terabytes of logs to identify suspicious or risk-prone user behavior
3. Eliminating the need for SMBs to invest in separate SIEM tools to spot risky users
4. Enabling investigation into the spread of risk within the network
5. Facilitating corrective actions to fine-tune user policies

Winds of change in IT and network security clearly indicate a growing need to focus on internal threats or risks from users. As a result, many CXOs now identify analytics and actionable security as a key investment area besides cloud, virtualization and mobility, to leverage security analysis that enable faster decision making. Extending its own innovation of Layer-8 identity-security with UTQ, Cyberoam continues to bridge the gaps where many security paradigms fall short in combating insider threats and user-triggered risks.

About Cyberoam Technologies Limited:
Cyberoam Technologies, a Sophos Company, is a global Network Security appliances provider, offering future-ready security solutions to physical and virtual networks in organizations with its Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) and Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances. The virtual and hardware Cyberoam Central Console appliances offer Centralized Security Management options to organizations, while Cyberoam iView allows intelligent logging and reporting with one-of-their-kind, in-depth reports. Cyberoam is accredited with prestigious global standards and certifications like EAL4+, CheckMark UTM Level 5 Certification, ICSA Labs, IPv6 Gold logo, and is a member of the Virtual Private Network Consortium.

Toronto (ON), Canada (February 4, 2014) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory Server 1.1, a feature update to its solution to automate printing, exporting and post-processing from Adobe InDesign. Developed originally for a major magazine publisher in the United States to free up their operator computers from outputting InDesign files, the software automates InDesign workflow by processing files from watched hot folders.

The new version introduces a new email notification engine which adds support for SSL and TLS connection security, transfer progress and other advanced features. The new engine also solves some email transmission issues on Mac OS X Yosemite.

“Output Factory Server is an extremely useful utility for a busy production facility or advertising agency”, writes David Creamer in Layers magazine, “It can save lots of time – which equates to money.”

Under the Output Factory Server workflow, production artists, prepress operators and designers simply copy InDesign jobs to hot folders that reside on a network. Users can create hot folders for different output types such as hi-res PDF, large format printing, EPUB files and so on. The software offers the following key features:

Print and export InDesign files automatically from watched hot folders
-Supports print, PDF, PostScript, EPS, JPEG, Flash, EPUB and other formats
Export InDesign files as single pages
Layer versioning: export layer combinations as single files
-Variable output file names
-Preflight files before output
-Automatic e-mail notifications on processing stages and errors
-Serves unlimited users on a network

Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for US$699.95, as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. BatchOutput Server users can upgrade for $350. Output Factory Server runs on Mac OS X 10.6-10.10 and works with Adobe InDesign CS3-CC 2014.
