Virtusa Vax Manager solution helps companies track employee vaccination status and testing results for return to the office

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Virtusa Corporation today announced that its Virtusa Vax Manager is available to provide businesses with an easy way to track employee vaccination status. The COVID-19 vaccine tracker and return to office capabilities of Virtusa Vax Manager can be built rapidly, and is easily configurable on technology from Pegasystems, the software company that crushes business complexity, to help companies stay compliant with emerging regulations, while ensuring the wellbeing of all employees and easing the burden on HR staff.

The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in its recent press release mentioned that it continues to strongly encourage vaccination of workers against the continuing dangers posed by COVID-19 in the Workplace.

The Virtusa Vax Manager provides companies with all the capabilities needed to streamline the tracking process, reducing time to comply with company, state and/or federal mandates. Key features include:

• Vaccine Tracking: Capture vaccination details for employees such as number of doses and vaccine type, with an option to upload their vaccine card.
• Vaccine Exception Detail: Document vaccination exception details for employees with an option to upload supporting documentation.
• Return to Office Questionnaire: Collect health status information of employees, complete return to office questionnaires.
• Reports: Utilize various key reports for operational, executive, and federal requirements.
• Employee Health Assessment: Evaluate employee health status using prebuilt questionnaires, arranging work from home by providing necessary resources.

“With company and federal mandates upon us, companies are scrambling to figure out how to quickly and confidently track the vaccine status for every employee – without becoming distracted from day-to-day business,” said Anthony Lange, Senior Vice President of Healthcare and Life Sciences, Virtusa. “Even before the pandemic, we were designing systems capable of quickly gathering, validating, and sharing large amounts of sensitive health-related data. The new tracker is a great example of our collaborative efforts with Pega to quickly help clients address unexpected challenges.”

“As a Global Elite Partner, Virtusa is ideal to support this important initiative given their healthcare and life sciences expertise,” said Kelli Bravo, Global Vice President Healthcare and Life Sciences, Pega. “Enterprises need to be agile and ready to adapt to new regulations and mandates, and the tracker is designed with that in mind. The vaccine tracker is now available on the Pega Marketplace, and Virtusa is offering a complimentary consultation for our joint clients to help ensure seamless adoption and client success.”

The tracker, built on the Pega Healthcare Platform, integrates with existing human capital management (HCM) systems including Workday, SAP’s SuccessFactors and Oracle. In addition to streamlining the vaccination tracking process, the solution also provides the ability to run risk assessment questionnaires, access trend, operational, executive, and state and federal reports, workplace surveys, and correspondence to employees and stakeholders.

Easy check, evaluation and documentation of metering performance

BERLIN, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With Advanced Meter Verification (AMV), FLEXIM offers a powerful tool for checks, evaluation and documentation of the performance of its FLUXUS ultrasonic flowmeters. FLUXUS measures the flow of liquids, gases, and steam, as well as liquid-based thermal energy flows. Measurements are performed non-intrusively with clamp-on ultrasonic transducers mounted on the outside of the pipe. Since the transducers do not come into direct contact with the medium flowing inside, they are not subject to wear and tear and operate practically maintenance-free. The acoustic measurement method provides meaningful diagnostic values that can be used to reliably assess the measurement quality. AMV reads this diagnostic data and compares it with an initial reference state stored in the transmitter. This gives the user the assurance that the flow measurement is working properly. If the measurement quality deteriorates, this is clearly indicated in the verification report. Trend analysis enables the predictive planning of maintenance work. Unexpected failures can therefore be avoided.

The easy and convenient on-site measurement validation minimizes the effort for calibration and maintenance. It requires no interruption of measurement and does not interfere with process operation. AMV is intuitive to use and can be carried out by the user or by FLEXIM service technicians.

Founded by a digital insurance veteran with a track record for spotting the latest insurtech and founders, the new VC firm’s investment philosophy prioritizes evolution over disruption

BOULDER, Colo., March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Markd, a new insurtech VC firm, announced today the close of its $100M debut fund. The $100M vehicle will be used to fund early- and growth-stage startups with the potential to propel the digital transformation of the insurance industry. Anchor investors in Fund 1 include Markd founder and managing partner Parker Beauchamp and an undisclosed industry partner.

Investment funding in the insurtech space reached new heights last year, raising a record high of more than $10.5 billion (USD).

“While this is great news for general market escalation, the investment funding hasn’t been evenly distributed, and as many as 95% of insurtechs did not experience a rise in investment support,” said Beauchamp. “Markd was founded to identify and support transformative insurance ideas of high-potential startups not getting the attention and funding they deserve. With ideas around the metaverse, blockchain, and everything in between, there are some remarkable founders primed to evolve the industry perpetually. We’re committed to seeking investment partners who not only provide capital but possess industry expertise to create, reinvent and innovate conventional insurance models.”

As CEO of INGUARD, an insurance and risk management firm serving clients in the U.S. and abroad, Parker has spent over 20 years distributing insurance digitally, has a deep understanding and connection with the legacy insurance environment and a pulse on the future technologies and distribution challenges. Markd will build on this expertise, network, and experience to identify investments with the potential to transform and continually meet the needs of today’s consumers.

“During the fintech innovation boom, traditional banking joined forces with apps, cryptocurrency, and more, which improved the industry for everyone involved,” said Beauchamp. “Momentum toward it being insurance industry’s turn continues to accelerate, and we’re eager to utilize our experience, connections, and resources to help founders create wins for themselves and their customers.”

The Markd team has worked and built in the insurance technology space for decades, bridging the gap between established insurance leaders and new school founders. Open to various insurance sectors, Markd focuses on investing in transformational founders with innovative ideas and ambition to follow through on their vision.

“We want to be there at the first spark of a great idea,” said Beauchamp. “We’re not a group of disconnected investors. We’re committed to leveraging our existing relationships, know-how, ideas, regulatory access, carriers, fulfillment, and distribution teams we’ve built to help startups get further faster so founders can keep more of their equity longer.”

About Markd

Markd is a venture capital company focused on funding and partnering with transformative insurtechs. It pays homage to the insurance industry’s legacy while helping design its future. Markd’s mission is to power substantial work and continually inspire more ideas to prevent hurt and loss.

About Parker Beauchamp

Parker Beauchamp is the founder and managing partner of Markd. A fifth-generation insurance professional with nearly 25 years in the industry, and an avid adventurer, he lives and breathes the probabilities and consequences of risks. He is also the CEO of INGUARD, a forward-thinking insurance and risk management firm that has distributed insurance digitally nationwide since the end of the 20th century.

Abstract: Triall will onboard the globally deployed eClinical platform of Crucial Data Solutions into the Triall ecosystem, offering clinical researchers around the world with access to Triall’s blockchain APIs that strengthen clinical trial data integrity, auditability, and interoperability.

MAARSSEN, Netherlands, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Triall, a tokenized platform for blockchain-enabled clinical trial technology, has partnered with Crucial Data Solutions (CDS), an eClinical software provider that offers a range of specialized applications for clinical trial data collection and management. Over the past decade, CDS has been a proven and leading innovator in the eClinical software industry, having implemented its eClinical solutions in over 7,000 clinical trials worldwide.

As part of this partnership, Triall will integrate its blockchain APIs with the eClinical solutions of CDS, realizing the world’s first end-to-end platform of eClinical solutions powered by blockchain. The platform covers all core clinical trial functions to radically advance data integrity, auditability, and interoperability in the global clinical trials industry.

The landmark partnership is a major leap forward for Triall as it enables the company to innovate on top of a validated eClinical platform that is trusted by thousands of industry professionals globally. Offered as part of the Triall ecosystem, the eClinical solutions will apply blockchain to generate verifiable proof of the integrity of clinical trial data, documents, and processes. Moreover, Triall leverages Decentralized Identity technologies and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) standards to facilitate interoperability across clinical trial systems and activities.

The Triall-CDS partnership is fully geared towards offering a future-proof platform that fits with emerging trends in the clinical trial industry, including real-world data collection and decentralized trial designs, while optimizing efficiency and reliability.

The partnership also has wild implications for Triall’s platform native utility token TRL, which grows in utility with the expansion of Triall’s software stack. TRL is used to pay for all software offered within the Triall ecosystem and was launched last year after a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised 2.4 million USD from over 1,500 investors. Prior to its token launch, Triall developed and commercialized its blockchain-integrated document management system Verial eTMF, which marked the world’s first implementation of blockchain in live and running clinical trials.

“Both CDS and Triall share a common vision where patients and sponsors of clinical research expect and deserve improved data privacy, security, and accountability. This partnership brings the future forward by giving patients unprecedented confidence in knowing that their data is secure and their privacy is protected.” – Jeff Rogers, President at Crucial Data Solutions

“Clinical trials have become increasingly digital, data-driven, and decentralized. This underlines the need for an end-to-end eClinical platform that unifies and secures all essential trial activities and processes. We have found the ideal partner in CDS and are very excited to continue our journey together.” – Hadil Es-Sbai, CEO at Triall

Using blockchain and Web3 technology, the Scorpio Metaverse Engine connects humans to each other in the virtual world

TORONTO, March 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Scorpio Metaverse Corporation (SMC), a technology company developing a suite of interoperable metaverses and play-to-earn games, today announced that it has been awarded patent-pending status by the United States Patent Office (USPTO).

SMC completed development of the beta engine this month and is on track for a Q2 launch of FitnessVR.io, SMC’s first metaverse powered by the Scorpio Metaverse Engine, dedicated to advanced wellness and human connection; the company aims to deploy 10 interoperable metaverses within the next 12 months.

Metaverses built with SMCs patent-pending engine offer flexible interoperability and enhanced user experiences, with customizable avatars able to jump between metaverses using blockchain technology and crypto wallets. Its suite of proprietary tools and integration with leading-edge technologies in the Web3 space allow SMC to help individuals, corporations and organizations build fully customized metaverses.

Being one of the first-to-market tech companies leading the charge of shaping the Metaverse Web3 space, Scorpio Metaverse Corporation is obtaining patent protection for its technologies, as well as registering other intellectual property rights for its business and technology assets in the United States and internationally. SMC aims to protect the technology, inventions and improvements that are commercially important to the development of its business using the most effective and efficient intellectual property instruments, including patents, trademarks and trade secrets.

Nav Gupta, Founder & CEO of Scorpio Metaverse Corporation:

“We’re building the tools to make custom metaverses accessible across the world; our patent-pending process reduces the barrier to entry for great ideas to get built quickly. We are extremely proud to be first-to-market with the creation of our proprietary metaverse engine, which is a system and method for creating custom metaverses. Whether you’re a business looking to build an office metaverse or a university looking to have your school built into a metaverse, in the future, we believe metaverses will be like websites and you’ll be able to build them using our tools and systems and jump from metaverse to metaverse. Unlike our competition, our primary business is metaverses and we have security and safety at the heart of our system for end users. Human connections are very important and we believe that, with our technology, we can help people connect with each other in new, fun and unique ways. I recognize the significant potential this patent holds, as it directly addresses key challenges currently facing the fragmented and disconnected landscape of the metaverse industry.”
