Published

on

BURLINGTON, Mass., July 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID) today announced the return of its Avid Learning Summit series to strengthen the connection among students, educators, jobseekers and employers in film, TV and music production. These free, full-day events are designed to inspire, educate and increase the flow of new video and audio editorial talent into the industry. The broad agenda includes career advice, professional networking and academic programming through the voices and experiences of high school and college faculty, celebrated creatives, media company leaders, and students at all levels.

Register now for The Avid Learning Summit taking place next Saturday, July 29, hosted at Musicians Institute College of Contemporary Music. Capacity is limited to ensure all attendees enjoy a day of personal engagement and interaction. Sessions will deliver a range of actionable learning, personal development and creative inspiration including:

  • The unique story of the picture and sound editing collaboration behind the extremely popular Ted Lasso streaming TV series, as told by its Emmy®-winning team in a panel session sponsored by Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services;
  • Guidance on how creative individuals can elevate their presence with powerful personal branding that amplifies their value and wins jobs in today’s creative gig economy;
  • Insights straight from hiring managers at studios and media companies about whom they seek to hire and why, and what educational institutions can do to prepare students for the creative workplace;
  • Exploring the tools of media production and the vocational influence of technological megatrends like remote working, cloud and artificial intelligence.

Attendees will also be introduced to the full suite of benefits of the new Avid Learning Affiliate program—the no-cost, no-obligation way for colleges, universities and other post-secondary institutions to gain access to free software, plus a range of teaching and learning resources, including comprehensive “Getting Started” training, free tips and techniques content and lesson plans, plus structured courses available via Avid Learning Central, Avid’s eLearning platform. Participating schools become part of the vibrant, global community of hundreds of institutions and thousands of educators committed to strong academics and career preparation built on proficiency in the technologies specified by video and audio production professionals everywhere.

Bryan Castle Jr., Senior Director of Global Learning Partnerships, Avid, said:
“Today’s high demand for talented people to edit and produce content does not mean that hiring standards are wavering. In fact, the threshold for a successful career is higher than ever. Educators and students alike have a lot on their plates just with getting their arms around building technical aptitude and confident creative expression. We’ve brought our summits back in a way that brings all of the constituents together for a clear view of how each can contribute and forge ahead.”

Founded in the heart of Hollywood in 1977, Avid Learning Partner Musicians Institute is a college of contemporary music built on the idea that musicians should teach—and learn from—other musicians in a creative, supportive environment.

Precisely Continues to Expand Reach and Capabilities for Data Enrichment and Geo Addressing

Published

precisely-continues-to-expand-reach-and-capabilities-for-data-enrichment-and-geo-addressing

New global Address Fabric™ and Property Attributes offerings help customers access unparalleled location-based insights, supercharged by the PreciselyID
BURLINGTON, Mass., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced further expansions in the global coverage and capabilities of its data enrichment and geo addressing portfolio. New additions to the Address Fabric and Property Attributes products underscore the company’s continued commitment to helping customers easily unlock greater location-based context from their data, enabled by its unique and persistent identifier, the PreciselyID.

Virtually every business worldwide captures and stores address information, with the average large business in the United States now estimated to store over 100 million unique addresses. However, navigating the inherent data integrity challenges is notoriously difficult, as it involves new buildings, changing street names, different country formats, and more.
Expanded Address Fabric Reach
Precisely customers can now access the Address Fabric dataset for Great Britain, France, and New Zealand – providing the most current and comprehensive lists of all known physical addresses across these countries. The new datasets expand Precisely’s existing coverage for the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Address Fabric data is easy to use with any database and analytics environment without needing specific geospatial expertise or tools. Customers can analyze address locations for various applications, including identifying new serviceable addresses, discovering new customers through look-a-like analysis, or selecting a site for new stores or network expansion opportunities.
Comprehensive Property Attributes Information
Precisely also announced the expansion of its Property Attributes products for the United States with 26 new attributes now available via integration with Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data. The MLS database of property listings is used by real estate agents to share information about homes currently on the market, including whether a property is affiliated with a Homeowner’s Association or if it’s considered a rental property.
With the latest updates, Property Attributes products now include over 230 different property information attributes across virtually every county located in the United States, providing a highly comprehensive view of a property and its key characteristics, such as details on land use, square footage, construction materials, and year built.
Address Fabric and Property Attributes leverage best-in-class geo addressing solutions from Precisely to provide the most accurate location information possible. Because each record is appended with a unique PreciselyID that remains persistent even when address elements change, customers can unlock greater value by enriching their data with additional information such as points of interest data, risk factors, demographics data, and much more.
“Precisely continues to be at the forefront of data enrichment and geo addressing solutions, enabling customers where they are on their data journey and supporting them with access to consistent location-based insights across their countries of operation,” said Dan Adams, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Data Enrichment at Precisely. “An essential element of data integrity, our unique PreciselyID makes address management and enrichment simple by eliminating time-consuming data preparation and augmenting insights with rich, relevant context.”  
Precisely is renowned for its expertise in helping customers reveal maximum context from their data, with a comprehensive portfolio that includes over 400 datasets containing more than 9000 attributes. The company also recently joined the Overture Maps Foundation, founded by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom, providing guidance on location intelligence and data enrichment to help drive exciting new advancements in geospatial technology.
Learn more about the Precisely portfolio of data enrichment and geo addressing capabilities.

The data center market in Australia has been witnessing significant growth in investments over the past few years. It is expected to grow at an absolute growth rate of around 20% between 2023-2029. Australia is among the top destinations for data center investments in the APAC region.
Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth are the primary data center hubs hosting most data centers in the country. Canberra, Brisbane, Darwin, and other cities are among the emerging locations in Australia with abundant land availability for data center development.
Investment Opportunities
In November 2023, OVHcloud announced the launch of its upcoming SYD3 Sydney data center facility, which is expected to be operational in 2024.In November of 2023, Rest Super invested about $656 million in a data center in Brisbane, which Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners are developing.In November 2023, NEXTDC announced the development of the D1 data center facility in Darwin; the facility is expected to go operational by Q2 2024.AirTrunk announced the expansion of its SYD2 data center campus in Sydney; once fully built, the facility will account for an additional power capacity of around 30 MW, making it an aggregate capacity of around 120 MW. This second phase is expected to be completed in 2024. AirTrunk’s upcoming SYD3 Sydney facility calls for an aggregate investment of about $670 million.In an August 2023 news article, Macquarie Data Centres revealed its plan to expand its upcoming IC3 Super West facility in Sydney regarding power capacity. As per January 2024 news article, Macquarie Data Centres has received approval to build/grow the IC3 Super West, its third facility in Sydney.In August 2023, STACK Infrastructure announced the MEL01 A data center launch in Melbourne, located at 399 Palmers Road. The entire campus will have a power capacity of around 72 MW, divided equally between buildings A and B. As of early 2024, Building B is still a work in progress. Furthermore, the company plans new facilities in Canberra, Hume, and Perth.Rising Procurement of Renewable Energy in Australia Boosting the Market Opportunities
In 2022, according to IRENA, solar energy accounted for around 61% of Australia’s overall renewable energy capacity, followed by wind, hydro, and bioenergy (in decreasing order), from which renewable power is extracted for all the sustainable energy needs of the country. Australia aims to achieve its target of zero carbon emissions by 2050. The country announced plans to reach almost 43% less emission than in 2005.
According to the Australia National Electricity Market (NEM), the renewable energy share in the country is expected to reach around 41% by 2030. By 2025, Australia aims to achieve 100% instantaneous renewable energy for its main grid, starting with a half-hour period and gradually increasing to cover hours and days. This transition will be facilitated by an increase in wind, solar, and energy storage solutions to meet the country’s new target of 82% renewables by 2030. The retirement of coal-based power generation facilities in the coming years will contribute to this goal.
Microsoft in Australia Recent Development During 2022-2024:
In October 2023, Microsoft, a hyperscale tech giant, decided to expand its footprint in Australia by investing over $3 billion to increase and expand its computing capacity in the country by over 250% in the next two years.

Invoca Named a Leader in Real-Time Revenue Execution Platforms Report

Published

invoca-named-a-leader-in-real-time-revenue-execution-platforms-report

Report recognises Invoca’s innovative platform for delivering “game-changing AI capabilities to revenue teams.”
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invoca today announced that Forrester Research has named Invoca as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Real-Time Revenue Execution Platforms, Q2 2024 report. Forrester evaluated the most significant revenue execution platform vendors based on three main categories — current offering, strategy, and market presence — along with interviews with customers. Invoca is the top-ranked vendor in both the current offering and strategy categories and among the top-ranked in market presence. Invoca also received the highest possible score in 19 of the 31 evaluation criteria, including AI differentiators, AI: large language model utilisation, Marketing: performance optimisation, In-call guidance: pre-call insights, System configuration: privacy, and Interaction capture: integrations.

The report states, “[Invoca’s] success starts with a vision focused on enabling revenue teams to drive growth by delivering the most complete platform for optimising the entire buying experience. Invoca has a track record of innovation that continues to raise the bar on what is possible to fulfil its vision.”
Revenue Execution Platforms Unify the Buying Journey to Drive Revenue Growth
Invoca’s revenue execution platform enables revenue teams to connect customer buying journey data across the marketing team that engages customers and the sales teams that close the deals. By using a comprehensive revenue execution platform, revenue teams can finally connect their marketing investments directly to revenue, improve digital engagement, and drive higher-quality leads.
Invoca also enables sales teams in the contact centre or at distributed business locations to access information from the customer’s digital journey from a centralised source, enabling them to provide the best call experience possible and close more sales opportunities.
Revenue Execution Platforms Needed to Power Today’s Buyer Journey
“B2C revenue teams across marketing and sales are feeling more pressure to directly connect revenue to their investments. But a lack of alignment and poor visibility of the full buying journey makes that nearly impossible,” said Peter Isaacson, Chief Marketing Officer at Invoca. “I believe Invoca was named a revenue execution Leader because we help marketing and sales teams manage the complete buyer journey from the first click to the final sale, so they can drive revenue growth.”
By using Invoca’s comprehensive revenue execution platform, revenue teams can connect their paid media investments directly to revenue, improve digital engagement and deliver the best buyer experiences to drive more sales. The Forrester report states that “reference customers rave about the versatility of the platform and its collaboration with customers around enhancements.”
Windstream, an Invoca customer, embodies this approach to revenue execution by tightly aligning the marketing and sales teams so they can work together to increase revenue.
“‍We’re a better marketing organisation because we have a strong partnership with sales,” said Aaron Pierce, VP of Marketing at Windstream. “Our teams have realised that we make each other better — I think that’s the biggest win. And now, when we have a problem, we can put all the smartest people together in the room to tackle it.”
“The Invoca platform has allowed us to unlock a ‘full-funnel’ view of our marketing performance that incorporates both online and offline,” said Lorenzo Clark, VP of Digital Sales at Windstream. “Now, we can get a read on lead quality because we can see what’s happening on sales calls and also track sales performance on a lead-by-lead basis.”
