UScellular offre désormais la solution de transfert de contenu de Synchronoss pour accélérer l’activation des appareils en magasin

La solution permet le transfert de données numériques rapidement et en toute sécurité vers de nouveaux appareils mobiles

BRIDGEWATER, NEW JERSEY, 19 nov. 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Les fêtes de fin d’année s’annonçant comme une période chargée en ventes de nouveaux téléphones portables, UScellular, le quatrième plus grand opérateur sans fil à service complet aux États-Unis, propose désormais le transfert de contenu Synchronoss, une solution qui offre aux conseillers de vente des magasins UScellular la possibilité de déplacer facilement et rapidement du contenu de l’ancien appareil mobile d’un client vers un nouveau, sans frais pour le client.

Le transfert de contenu de Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ : SNCR), un leader mondial et innovateur dans le domaine des solutions numériques, de messagerie et de cloud, est conçu pour rationaliser l’intégration de nouveaux appareils en fournissant un moyen de transférer sans effort du contenu numérique – y compris des photos, des vidéos, des contacts, des journaux d’appels, de la musique, des documents, des messages et des paramètres – entre téléphones portables et tablettes.

Chris Hill, directeur commercial de Synchronoss, a déclaré que l’accès permanent au contenu numérique n’est plus une « bonne chose à faire » mais une « obligation » car les consommateurs intègrent de plus en plus les appareils mobiles dans leur vie quotidienne.

« Les consommateurs ont deux attentes lors de l’achat d’un nouvel appareil : la première est qu’ils ne perdront aucune de leurs données numériques importantes lors du changement d’appareil. La deuxième attente est qu’ils auront accès à leurs données dès que le nouvel appareil mobile sera connecté au réseau. Notre application multi-plateformes répond à ces deux besoins en rendant l’activation de nouveaux appareils pratiquement parfaite pour les abonnés », a-t-il déclaré.

La solution de transfert de contenu est une application facile à utiliser qui couvre les appareils et les systèmes d’exploitation et remplace le besoin d’équipements en magasin. Elle peut également considérablement réduire le temps qu’un client passe dans un magasin lors de l’activation d’un nouvel appareil.

« Alors que nous cherchons continuellement de nouvelles façons d’améliorer l’expérience de nos clients, nous considérons la solution Synchronoss comme un ajout important à notre boîte à outils de service à la clientèle », a déclaré Eric Jagher, vice-président senior des ventes aux consommateurs et des opérations chez UScellular. « Le transfert de contenu offre un moyen rapide et facile de s’assurer que les clients conservent leurs photos, vidéos et autres données importantes lors de l’achat d’un nouveau téléphone, ce qui réduit le temps passé en magasin et leur permet d’en passer davantage avec leurs amis et leur famille pendant les fêtes. »

Chris Hill a ajouté que les prévisions des analystes d’une augmentation des dépenses pour les fêtes en glissement annuel, en combinaison avec l’attrait des nouveaux modèles de smartphones sortis cette année, sont une des raisons pour lesquelles UScellular s’est tourné vers Synchronoss pour aider les conseillers de vente à transférer facilement et rapidement le contenu client vers de nouveaux appareils.

« L’ajout de notre solution de transfert de contenu aux ressources de service à la clientèle d’UScellular l’aidera à continuer à offrir une excellente expérience en magasin », a-t-il déclaré.

Le transfert de contenu fait partie d’un groupe de solutions Synchronoss onboardX – un ensemble d’outils qui permettent aux opérateurs mobiles de fournir l’expérience client souhaitée par les abonnés et de favoriser l’adoption du service. Les solutions onboardX supplémentaires incluent la sauvegarde et la restauration, un service cloud qui offre aux abonnés un emplacement sûr pour sauvegarder, afficher et restaurer du contenu à travers les systèmes d’exploitation et les appareils ; Out of Box Experience (OOBE), une solution qui rationalise l’activation de nouveaux abonnés, services et dispositifs ; et Digital Experience Platform (DXP), qui simplifie la création, l’orchestration et la gestion des expériences et des parcours en ligne.

Lesite Web de Synchronoss fournit des informations supplémentaires sur le transfert de contenu et d’autres outils Synchronoss onboardX qui permettent aux opérateurs mobiles de favoriser l’adoption des services et d’offrir l’expérience client souhaitée par les abonnés.

Our Lady Warns The World Of Impending Disaster In EWTN’s “Kibeho: Listen My Children”

IRONDALE, Ala., Nov. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Many have heard of the horrific genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994, when 200,000 Hutus slaughtered 800,000 Tutsis and some moderate Hutus – their own countrymen. But few are aware that Our Lady warned the country about the impending disaster – and how to avoid it – during a series of apparitions to three school girls 12 years earlier. The visions of destruction, torture, and human carnage as well as a river of blood viewed by one of the visionaries were so terrifying that the young girl told Our Lady she was afraid she would never be able to sleep again.

“Kibeho: Listen My Children," which details the warning that Our Lady of Kibeho gave three Rwandan schoolgirls 12 years before the 1994 genocide, premieres at 10 p.m. ET, Wed., Nov. 24, with encores at 1:30 p.m. ET and 11 p.m. ET, Sun., Nov. 28, https://bit.ly/KibehoTrailer. Features Immaculée IIlibagiza, the woman who told the world about the genocide in the 2017 best-selling book, “Left to Tell,” which was later made into a well-known documentary by the same name.

“Kibeho: Listen My Children,” an EWTN Original production, premieres at 10 p.m. ET, Wednesday, Nov. 24, with encores at 1:30 p.m. ET and 11 p.m. ET, Sunday, Nov. 28. (Click here for the trailer: https://bit.ly/KibehoTrailer.

The Nov. 24 premiere will be preceded at 8 a.m. ET by “EWTN Live,” with Immaculée IIlibagiza, who appears prominently in the docudrama. Immaculée is the woman who told the world about the genocide in the 2017 best-selling book, “Left to Tell,” which was later made into a well-known documentary by the same name.

In addition to observations from Immaculée, the docudrama includes footage of the actual Rwandan school girl visionaries, the mental torture they endured by those who did not believe them, the doctors who were charged with determining if they were mentally ill, and church officials who made the final determination.

EWTN Global Catholic Network

Among other things, Our Lady of Kibeho requested that the people of Rwanda pray the Seven Sorrows Rosary, a devotion given to St. Bridget centuries earlier which had largely been forgotten. During the genocide, the sisters at the convent school the visionaries attended prayed this rosary from morning to evening. All survived the bloodbath. (Find meditations on the Seven Sorrows Rosary and more in this little booklet from EWTNRC: https://bit.ly/7SorrowsRosary

In the film, we witness Our Lady taking one of the visionaries, Marie Claire Mukangango, to heaven, hell and purgatory. When Marie Claire asks Our Lady why she was shown these places, she tells her: “I showed you so you know the life that matters most is what is coming after this life on earth. Go and tell everyone. Encourage them to live the right way. Tell them to live without respecting God is the ultimate waste of time. They will regret it bitterly.” Our Lady also said: “You have to tell the people that these places actually exist. To refuse Jesus is to refuse paradise.”

There is much more to tell about these apparitions. This is a story no one who cares about eternal life should miss.

In its 40th year, EWTN is the largest religious media network in the world. EWTN’s 11 TV channels are broadcast in multiple languages 24 hours a day, seven days a week to over 350 million television households in more than 145 countries and territories. EWTN platforms also include radio services transmitted through SIRIUS/XM, iHeart Radio, and over 500 domestic and international AM & FM radio affiliates; a worldwide shortwave radio service; one of the largest Catholic websites in the U.S.; electronic and print news services, including Catholic News Agency, “The National Catholic Register” newspaper, and several global news wire services; as well as EWTN Publishing, its book publishing division.

Trucker Shortage Fuels Enrollment Surge at California School

On a recent afternoon, Tina Singh watched nearly a dozen students at a suburban Los Angeles truck-driving school backing up their practice vehicles into parking spaces. Many had never operated a manual transmission before.

"It's an exciting time to be a truck driver right now because there's so much demand for drivers," said Singh, the school's director. "Our yards are busy, and they're very vibrant with a lot of activity."

Business is booming at the California Truck Driving Academy amid a nationwide shortage of long-haul drivers that has led to promises of high pay and instant job offers. The Inglewood school has seen annual enrollment grow by almost 20% since last year, and has expanded to offering night classes.

"Everything in this country runs by truck at some point or another," Singh said. "And so, you know, you need truck drivers to move goods."

The U.S. is about 80,000 drivers short due to a convergence of factors, according to Nick Vyas, executive director of the University of Southern California's Marshall Center for Global Supply Chain Management.

Consumer spending is 15% above where it was in February 2020, just before the pandemic paralyzed the economy. Production rose nearly 5% over the past year as U.S. factories worked to keep up with an increased demand for goods, according to the Federal Reserve. Imports have narrowed the gap.

At the same time, many U.S. workers decided to quit jobs that required frequent public contact. This created shortages of workers to unload ships, transport goods and staff retail shops.

In California, the straining supply chain is illustrated at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, where dozens of ships wait off the coast to be unloaded. The average wait is nearly 17 days, despite around-the-clock port operations beginning in October.

A lack of drivers at the ports has helped fuel the surge at the nearby California Truck Driving Academy, where instructors in reflective vests keep watch as students practice steering big rigs around a fenced-in paved lot.

"You're kind of helping the community out, and you're making money at the same time," student Thierno Barry said. "It's a win-win situation."

Barry, 23, was happy to be behind the wheel on his first day, despite rolling over several orange safety cones.

"I feel great, especially during the pandemic," he said.

Meanwhile, the school is facing its own shortage — of truck driving instructors.

Budget ‘Score’ Gave Moderate Democrats the Cover Needed to Pass Biden’s Signature Bill

President Joe Biden’s signature Build Back Better package of climate and social spending passed the House of Representatives on Friday morning, 220-213, less than 24 hours after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) produced an analysis of the legislation finding that it would add a relatively modest $160 billion to the federal debt over the next 10 years.

The bill, which still must pass the narrowly divided Senate, dedicates more than half a trillion dollars to spending on measures to combat climate change, provides funding for universal pre-school, expands access to healthcare, and provides tax credits to families with children, among other things.

The rapid passage of the bill after the CBO announced the verdict on its costs underlines the importance of that agency to the legislative process in Washington, as well as lawmakers’ willingness to be flexible about how they read the agency’s analyses.

A significant number of Democrats who represent contested districts – enough to scuttle the bill if they had voted against it – had been concerned about the political impact of Republican claims that the bill would greatly expand the federal debt. Last week, these mostly moderate Democrats told Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that they would not vote for the bill without a CBO analysis that showed it was fully paid for.

Detailed ‘budget score’

The CBO is a non-partisan federal agency within the legislative branch created in 1974 that is considered by many economists the gold standard for analyzing the budgetary impact of proposed legislation and its long-term impact on the federal debt.

On Thursday afternoon, the CBO began releasing its analysis of the bill, known as a “budget score.” It found that the combination of spending and tax breaks contained in the package add up to $2.4 trillion and that elements that would raise revenue or reduce spending add up to $2.27 trillion.

One element of the CBO report caused some confusion because of the way the numbers were presented. The official release said that the bill would result in a $367 billion increase in the debt over 10 years, because it did not account for the revenue effects of the increased IRS enforcement. In a different statement, the agency estimated $207 billion of increased revenue related to IRS enforcement, leaving the ultimate budget deficit increase at $160 billion over a decade.

A flexible reading of the CBO

In a political climate where Democrats and Republicans generally distrust each other, the CBO is still seen as above the fray, delivering non-partisan analysis. The agency’s judgment that the addition to the debt would average out to just $16 billion per year meant that the legislation does not officially pay for itself.

That’s where the flexibility in reading CBO analysis kicked in.

A key element of the bill is an $80 billion increase in funding for the Internal Revenue Service to enforce the nation’s tax laws. The White House and a number of outside groups, including a bipartisan coalition of former IRS commissioners, had projected that the investment would return $400 billion in increased tax revenue over a decade. But CBO only estimated a $207 billion return.

“CBO is notoriously cautious about predicting revenue increases from IRS enforcement,” said William A. Galston, a senior fellow in the Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies program.

“Estimating revenues from enforcement is an art not a science,” Galston said. “Bottom line, nobody knows for sure.”

It was that uncertainty, and the generally accepted understanding that CBO is very cautious about estimating tax revenue, that gave all but one of the moderate Democrats the wiggle room they needed to throw their support behind the bill.

“They took the position, after the CBO score came out, that it was good enough,” said Galston. “It enabled them to make a good faith claim that the bill was completely paid for.”

Republicans disagree

Not surprisingly, Republicans in the House chose to take a much more literal reading of the CBO’s analysis, and slammed the Democrats for passing a bill that will add to the national debt.

“This is the single most reckless and irresponsible spending in the history of this country,” House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy declared.

McCarthy’s comment came during a marathon speech that stretched for more than eight hours, ending shortly before 6 a.m. on Friday. The overnight monologue took advantage of a loophole in House rules that allows the leader of either of the parties to take unlimited floor time, and forced Democrats to delay a vote they had hoped to take on Thursday.

CBO’s sway in the Senate unclear

The CBO score may have been enough to convince moderate Democrats in the House of Representatives to vote in favor of the bill, but the problems it faces in the Senate go deeper than the legislation’s effect on the federal deficit.

The Democrats have only 50 votes in the 100-seat Senate, and must rely on Vice President Kamala Harris to cast a vote in the event of a tie. That means Democrats cannot afford to lose any votes on the bill.

The most prominent member of the party likely to break from the pack is West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who has been publicly skeptical of specific parts of the bill, and has been more generally concerned that an increase in government spending will lead to further increases in inflation.

Manchin’s constituents tend to be older and more likely than most Americans to be on a fixed income. That makes them especially vulnerable to price inflation, which was recently measured at an annual rate of 6.2%, the highest in more than 30 years.

UScellular Now Offering Synchronoss’s Content Transfer Solution to Expedite In-Store Device Activation

Solution allows for the transfer of digital data quickly and safely to new mobile devices

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Nov. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anticipating a busy holiday season for new mobile phone sales, UScellular, the fourth-largest full-service wireless carrier in the United States, is now offering Synchronoss Content Transfer, a solution that gives UScellular store associates the ability to easily and quickly move content from a customer’s old mobile device to a new one at no cost to the customer.

Content Transfer from Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNCR), a global leader and innovator of cloud, messaging and digital solutions, is designed to streamline the onboarding of new devices by providing a means for digital content – including photos, videos, contacts, call logs, music, documents, messages and settings – to be effortlessly transferred between mobile phones and tablets.

Chris Hill, Chief Commercial Officer for Synchronoss, said that always-on access to digital content is no longer a “nice to have” but a “must have” as consumers increasingly integrate mobile devices into their day-to-day lives.

“Consumers have two expectations when purchasing a new device: One is that they will not lose any of their important digital data when switching hardware. The second is that they will have access to their data as soon as the new mobile device is connected to the network. Our cross-platform application satisfies both of those needs by making new device activation practically seamless for subscribers,” he said.

The Content Transfer solution is an easy-to-use application that spans devices and operating systems and replaces the need for in-store equipment. It can also significantly reduce the amount of time a customer spends in a store when activating a new device.

“As we continually seek new ways to enhance our customer experience, we see the Synchronoss solution as an important addition to our customer service toolbox,” said Eric Jagher, Senior Vice President of Consumer Sales and Operations at UScellular. “Content Transfer provides a quick and easy way to ensure customers can keep their important photos, videos and other data when buying a new phone, leading to less time spent in-store and more time spent with their friends and families during this holiday season.”

Hill added that analyst predictions for a jump in year-over-year holiday spending in combination with the lure of new smartphone models released this year is one reason UScellular turned to Synchronoss to help store associates ensure they can easily and quickly transfer customer content to new devices.

“The addition of our Content Transfer solution to UScellular’s customer service resources will help it continue to deliver an excellent in-store experience,” he said.

Content transfer is one of a group of Synchronoss onboardX solutions – a set of tools that allow mobile operators to provide the customer experience that subscribers want and drive service adoption. Additional onboardX solutions include Backup & Restore, a cloud service that gives subscribers a safe place to backup, view and restore content across operating systems and devices; Out of Box Experience (OOBE), a solution that streamlines the activation of new subscribers, services and devices; and Digital Experience Platform (DXP), which simplifies the creation, orchestration and management of online experiences and journeys.

The Synchronoss website provides additional information about Content Transfer and other Synchronoss onboardX tools that allow mobile operators to drive service adoption and deliver the customer experience that subscribers want.

NetSfere e Deutsche Telekom fazem parceria para fornecer uma plataforma de mensagens móveis em conformidade, viabilizando a comunicação instantânea e segura da equipe para o St. Augustinus Group da Alemanha

As empresas implantaram a plataforma de mensagens criptografadas em conformidade com a HIPAA/GDPR para interromper o uso de aplicativos de mensagens de nível do consumidor e simplificar as comunicações internas e do paciente

CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A NetSfere, fornecedora global de soluções de mensagens e mobilidade seguras e compatíveis de última geração, anunciou hoje sua parceria com a Deutsche Telekom, uma das principais empresas de telecomunicações integradas do mundo, para implantar a plataforma de mensagens móveis seguras da NetSfere em todos os hospitais St. Augustinus, um grupo de assistência médica alemão líder.

Ferramentas de comunicação rápida e instantânea oferecem benefícios incontestáveis para agilizar a comunicação da equipe, no entanto, St. Augustinus observou um aumento alarmante do uso de dispositivos e aplicativos pessoais de mensagens populares, como WhatsApp, por exemplo, que representam riscos graves de privacidade e conformidade. Em resposta, a NetSfere e a Deutsche Telekom fizeram uma parceria para implementar a plataforma de mensagens compatível com HIPAA e GDPR da NetSfere, que oferece funcionalidade semelhante a aplicativos como o WhatsApp, mas fornece o mais alto nível de criptografia de ponta a ponta por meio do data center altamente seguro da Deutsche Telekom.

“A NetSfere foi criada para atender aos requisitos de segurança e de conformidade dos setores regulados, incluindo saúde”, disse Franz Obermayer, vice-presidente europeu da NetSfere. “Os profissionais médicos fazem um trabalho altamente estressante que mudam a vida, o que exige uma plataforma de comunicação que isso possa ser feito de forma mais eficaz. Nossa parceria com o St. Augustinus Group oferece opções de mensagens seguras, compatíveis e flexíveis que eliminam a necessidade de os participantes da equipe recorrerem a aplicativos de mensagens de risco. Com o NetSfere, a troca de dados do paciente é protegida ao máximo.”

Ao contrário dos aplicativos de mensagens de nível de consumidor, o NetSfere fornece funcionalidades de nível empresarial que aumentam a colaboração e agilizam as comunicações, incluindo mensagens individuais e em grupo, chamadas de áudio HD, compartilhamento de tela e chamadas de vídeo em grupo. Com novidades da plataforma, tal como o recurso de transmissão de emergência NetSfere Lifeline, permitem que as equipes de RH e de crise divulguem rapidamente alertas críticos de alta prioridade e informações de emergência para as equipes-alvo ou para toda a empresa de maneira chamativa. O St. Augustinus está utilizando a transmissão da NetSfere dentro do seu hospital para manter os funcionários atualizados sobre as informações relacionadas à pandemia por meio do canal “Corona Ticker” NetSfere Lifeline.

“No ambiente médico tão delicado, devemos nos comunicar de forma rápida e segura. A NetSfere é especialista em mensagens instantâneas nas empresas. A Telekom traz sua experiência em segurança, consultoria e serviço. Juntas, podemos atender aos requisitos especiais da indústria, e isso é bastante essencial no momento”, disse Hagen Rickmann, Diretor Administrativo de Clientes de Negócios da Telekom Deutschland GmbH. “Desta forma, podemos contribuir diretamente para reduzir a carga para a equipe e apoiar o atendimento ideal ao paciente.”

“Somos responsáveis por equipar nossos funcionários com ferramentas adequadas. Eles devem poder fazer seu trabalho de forma eficaz. Por outro lado, a privacidade dos nossos pacientes deve ser protegida”, disse Rainer Pappert, Diretor Administrativo do Grupo St. Augustinus. “Com a introdução da NetSfere, atendemos o desejo dos nossos funcionários: Eles querem usar seus dispositivos pessoais. E eles querem fazer isso com um aplicativo de mensagens fácil de usar. Por isso, lançamos rapidamente o NetSfere para comunicação interna. Com ele, alcançamos rapidamente melhor produtividade e colaboração. Entre equipes e também dentro de todo o nosso grupo. E são cerca de 5.600 colegas.”

O St. Augustinus se interessou em usar a NetSfere por ela ser uma solução para a equipe dela, não apenas por causa da sua funcionalidade robusta, mas também pelo reconhecimento da indústria. Em 2018 e 2019, a NetSfere foi escolhida pela Entscheiderfabrik, uma plataforma para tomadores de decisão de TI de mais de 800 hospitais alemães, como vencedora do “Tópico de Digitalização da Indústria de Saúde Alemã”.

“Principais destaques do nosso VoTE publicado recentemente: O Digital Pulse, Business Reinvention & Transformation 2021 mostrou que a segurança da informação, a produtividade dos funcionários e a continuidade dos negócios continuam sendo prioridade para os tomadores de decisão de TI”, disse Raúl Castañón-Martinez, Analista Sênior de Colaboração da Força de Trabalho da 451 Research, parte da divisão de Inteligência de Mercado da S&P Global. Esses fatores impulsionarão os requisitos de mercado para comunicação e colaboração empresarial, particularmente para trabalhadores móveis, remotos/híbridos e de linha de frente em verticais e casos de uso, como trabalhadores de campo e profissionais de saúde.”(1)

NetSfere et Deutsche Telekom s’associent pour fournir une plateforme de messagerie mobile conforme permettant au personnel du groupe allemand St. Augustinus de communiquer de manière instantanée et sécurisée

Les entreprises ont déployé la plateforme de messagerie cryptée conforme HIPAA/RGPD pour arrêter l’utilisation d’applications de messagerie grand public et rationaliser les communications internes et avec les patients

CHICAGO, 18 nov. 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NetSfere, fournisseur mondial de solutions de messagerie et de mobilité sécurisées et conformes de nouvelle génération, a annoncé aujourd’hui son partenariat avec Deutsche Telekom, l’une des plus grandes sociétés de télécommunications intégrées au monde, pour déployer la plateforme de messagerie mobile sécurisée de NetSfere dans tous les hôpitaux St.Augustinus, un groupe de soins de santé allemand de premier plan.

Les outils de communication rapides et instantanés offrent des avantages incontestés pour rationaliser la communication du personnel, mais St. Augustinus a remarqué une augmentation alarmante de l’utilisation d’appareils personnels et d’applications de messagerie populaires telles que WhatsApp, ce qui entraîne des risques critiques pour la confidentialité et la conformité. En réponse, NetSfere et Deutsche Telekom se sont associés pour mettre en œuvre la plateforme de messagerie conforme HIPAA et RGPD de NetSfere, qui offre des fonctionnalités similaires aux applications telles que WhatsApp mais fournit le plus haut niveau de cryptage de bout en bout via le centre de données hautement sécurisé de Deutsche Telekom.

« La plateforme de NetSfere est conçue pour répondre aux exigences de sécurité et de conformité dans les marchés verticaux réglementés, notamment dans celui des soins de santé », a déclaré Franz Obermayer, Vice-président de NetSfere pour l’Europe. « Les professionnels de la santé effectuant un travail sous haute pression qui change la vie, ils ont besoin d’une plateforme de communication qui leur permette de le faire plus efficacement. Notre partenariat avec le groupe St. Augustinus apporte des options de messagerie sécurisées, conformes et flexibles qui évitent aux membres du personnel de se tourner vers des applications de messagerie à risque. Avec NetSfere, l’échange de données de patients est protégé au maximum. »

Contrairement aux applications de messagerie grand public, NetSfere fournit des fonctionnalités de classe entreprise qui stimulent la collaboration et rationalisent les communications, y compris la messagerie individuelle et de groupe, les appels audio HD, le partage d’écran et les appels vidéo de groupe. Nouveauté sur la plateforme, la fonction de diffusion d’urgence NetSfere Lifeline permet aux équipes RH et de crise de diffuser rapidement des alertes critiques et des informations d’urgence hautement prioritaires à des équipes ciblées ou à l’ensemble d’une organisation d’une manière qui attire l’attention. St. Augustinus tire parti de la diffusion NetSfere au sein de son hôpital pour tenir ses employés au courant des informations liées à la pandémie grâce à sa chaîne NetSfere Lifeline « Corona Ticker ».

« Dans un environnement médical sensible, il doit être possible de communiquer rapidement et en toute sécurité. NetSfere est le spécialiste des messages instantanés dans les entreprises. Telekom apporte son expertise en matière de sécurité, de conseil et de service. Ensemble, nous pouvons répondre aux exigences particulières de différents secteurs d’activité, et cela est tout à fait crucial à l’heure actuelle », a déclaré Hagen Rickmann, directeur général des clients commerciaux de Telekom Deutschland GmbH. « De cette manière, nous pouvons contribuer directement à alléger la charge pesant sur le personnel et à optimiser les soins pour les patients. »

« Il est de notre responsabilité d’équiper nos employés d’outils adaptés. Ils doivent être en mesure de faire leur travail efficacement. Dans le même temps, la vie privée de nos patients doit être protégée », a déclaré Rainer Pappert, directeur général du groupe St. Augustinus. « Avec l’introduction de NetSfere, nous avons suivi les souhaits de nos employés : ils veulent utiliser leurs appareils personnels. Et ils veulent le faire avec une application de messagerie facile à utiliser. Nous avons donc sans tarder lancé NetSfere pour la communication interne. Grâce à cela, nous avons rapidement obtenu une meilleure productivité et une meilleure collaboration. Entre les équipes, mais aussi au sein de tout notre groupe. Et cela représente environ 5 600 collègues. »

Le groupe St. Augustinus a choisi d’utiliser NetSfere comme solution pour son personnel non seulement en raison de ses fonctionnalités robustes, mais aussi de sa reconnaissance dans le secteur. En 2018 et 2019, NetSfere a été sélectionnée par Entscheiderfabrik, une plateforme destinée aux décideurs informatiques de plus de 800 hôpitaux allemands, en tant que lauréate pour le « thème de la numérisation du secteur allemand de la santé ».

« Les faits saillants du VOTE que nous avons récemment publié : Digital Pulse, Business Reinvention & Transformation 2021 révèlent que la sécurité de l’information, la productivité des employés et la continuité des activités demeurent au premier plan des préoccupations des décideurs informatiques », a déclaré Raúl Castañón-Martinez, analyste principal pour la collaboration avec les employés chez 451 Research, qui fait partie de la division S&P Global Market Intelligence. Ces facteurs détermineront les exigences du marché en matière de communication et de collaboration commerciales, en particulier pour les travailleurs nomades, hybrides/à distance et de première ligne à travers les marchés verticaux et les cas d’utilisation tels que ceux des travailleurs de terrain et des prestataires de soins de santé. »(1)

Vision Impact Institute Applauds New Global Plan for Decade of Action for Road Safety

Plan encourages road safety advocates to reduce deaths and injuries on the roads through multiple channels, including good vision

DALLAS, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The recent launch of the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety marks a critical milestone in ongoing efforts to ensure safer mobility for all. Developed by the WHO and the UN regional commissions, in cooperation with a minimum of 140 partners in the UN Road Safety collaboration, the plan outlines an approach that brings to life the UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/74/299 on “Improving Global Road Safety”.

According to the WHO, over 3,500 people die every day on roads globally –  nearly 1.3 million preventable deaths and an estimated 50 million injuries – making it the leading killer of children and young people worldwide. Without any intervention, 13 million deaths and 500 million injuries are estimated to occur in the next decade.

“As we mark this year’s World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, we must consider the importance of good vision for all road users in order to achieve the plan’s ambitious target of preventing 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030,” says Kristan Gross, Global Executive Director, Vision Impact Institute. “While vision is often overlooked in the road safety dialogue, we are very pleased to see the inclusion of vision in the UN resolution and are anticipating action through the execution of this holistic plan. Our advocacy for road safety encourages licensing requirements to include assessment of drivers’ vision, in countries where this process is lacking. It’s one more way to ensure that safer drivers contribute to safer roads.”

About the Vision Impact Institute
 The Vision Impact Institute’s mission is to raise awareness of the importance of vision correction and protection to make good vision a global priority. Its Advisory Board is comprised of five independent international experts: Pr. Clare Gilbert (United Kingdom), Dr. Kevin Frick (US), Mr. Allyala Nandakumar (United States),   Dr. Serge Resnikoff (Switzerland), and Dr. Wang Wei (China).

The Vision Impact Institute is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which receives support from the Vision for Life Fund from Essilor, the world leader in ophthalmic optics.
