Strategic investment from the global business titan will further expand FourKites’ supply chain visibility network in APAC and ease ongoing supply chain challenges in the region

CHICAGO, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading supply chain visibility company FourKites today announced a $10M investment from Mitsui & Co., Ltd. to expand FourKites’ offerings across the APAC region. This investment encompasses the first phase in an ongoing strategic relationship between FourKites and Mitsui, which the two companies intend to formalize by the end of the year.

Mitsui’s investment in FourKites is the culmination of a yearlong effort between the two companies, which included Mitsui’s extensive due diligence of the supply chain visibility landscape. Given FourKites’ market-leading offerings and proven track record in the region, Mitsui is planning to invest significant resources to expand FourKites’ coverage in APAC, including sales, customer service, operations and product localization, which will result in a hyper-localized solution for the APAC market. The strategic partnership will initially focus on Japan, with plans to jointly expand throughout APAC.

Mitsui is the latest industry giant to throw its weight behind FourKites, following strategic investments from FedEx, Zebra Technologies, Volvo Group Venture Capital AB and Qualcomm Ventures, LLC, over the past two years. Mitsui — a global conglomerate with 16 business units across 63 countries — uses its global operating locations, network and information resources to multilaterally pursue business that ranges from product sales, worldwide logistics and financing, international infrastructure development and beyond.

“We are excited to partner with FourKites to bring improved supply chain visibility and efficiency to operations in all industries and all countries throughout APAC,” said John Kenichi Kogiku, General Manager of Digital Solution Business Division at Mitsui. “FourKites and Mitsui share a culture of innovation, integrity and collaboration, and a broader vision for transforming global supply chains. We are looking forward to working with FourKites to achieve our mutual goals through digitization and automation.”

The joint initiative with Mitsui is the latest strategic move in FourKites’ expansion in the APAC region. The company currently tracks international shipments in 44 countries and territories in APAC, and over the last 12 months, FourKites has seen:

• 240% growth in shipments tracked
• 91% growth in new APAC customers
• 70% growth in the number of carriers tracking loads in APAC
• 30% growth in the number of ports tracked in APAC, now totaling 270 ports in the region
• 315% growth in the number of facilities tracked in APAC, now totaling 7,000 facilities

“As a global logistics hub, companies throughout APAC are making significant investments in supply chain transformation,” said FourKites founder and CEO Mathew Elenjickal. “Given this growth trajectory, we are honored that Mitsui has selected FourKites as a partner to bring unprecedented levels of visibility to the APAC region. We are thrilled to welcome Mitsui into our powerhouse network of strategic investors who are working together to revolutionize supply chains around the world.”

Mitsui’s investment in FourKites comes on the heels of several significant strategic investments from major corporations that have invested in the company to drive the future of digital supply chains. In June, FourKites announced a strategic investment from FedEx, which the company will leverage to develop FourKites X, an enhanced visibility platform that transforms global supply chains with data insights from both companies’ networks. In 2021, FourKites announced strategic investments from Qualcomm Ventures, LLC, Volvo Group Venture Capital AB and Zebra Technologies, wherein the industry leaders are working together toward automated, interconnected and collaborative global supply chains, spanning transportation, warehouses, stores, trucks and more.

Phoenix Software releases updates to its product line in September 2022

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Phoenix Software International, Inc., today announced its intention to make JES3^plus V1R2, a derivative work based on IBM’s z/OS^® JES3, generally available effective September 30, 2022. This release provides new functionality and integrates continuous delivery items made available over the past twelve months. Thanks to Phoenix’s JES3^plus Customer Advisory Council, organizations that migrate to JES3^plus can reap the benefits of new features that were ranked in terms of providing true business value to their fellow customers.

JES3^plus V1R2

Functional Highlights:

• Parallel SPOOL I/O – Takes full advantage of the Parallel Access Volumes technology supported by modern mainframe DASD through support for up to eight STARTIO channel programs running concurrently for a single SPOOL extent. This is a major improvement over the traditional JES3 approach of allowing only one STARTIO at a time per SPOOL extent.
• Reduced Local Lock Contention – Now intrinsic to the way JES3^plus operates, multiple I/O completion SRBs execute simultaneously by acquiring the local lock only if and when needed. In addition, if the completing I/O contains requests from only a single address space, the SRB is scheduled directly to that address space rather than to the JES3^plus address space.
• Improved WLM Batch Initiator Balancing – Enabling this facility results in JES3plus placing batch jobs into idle initiators across the JESplex using a target percentage derived from WLM’s initiator allocation counts. Until now this behavior occurred on JES2 systems only.

“Switching to JES3^plus is the obvious choice for existing IBM JES3 customers,” said Ed Jaffe, Chief Technology Officer at Phoenix Software International, “and we have reinforced that point by improving performance with empirical results so dramatic they speak for themselves. SPOOL I/O-intensive benchmarks conducted on our z15^† showed JES3^plus running nearly twice as many jobs as IBM JES3 while simultaneously reducing FICON channel utilization by 92%! Similarly-favorable results were observed when comparing against JES2. And, because our roadmap for enhancements is 100% customer driven, we believe a migration to JES3^plus is not only the easiest and least risky choice, it’s the one that just makes sense.”

(E)JES^® V6R2

(E)JES V6R2, the latest release of Phoenix Software’s modern z/OS JESplex management tool, includes enhancements for viewing and managing Coupling Facility connections and structures, WLM scheduling environments, job class/groups, sysplex members, and z/OS UNIX mounts. Additionally, support has been added for a filter repository that provides end user ability to save filters and reload them.

Phoenix Software เปิดตัวการอัปเดตสายผลิตภัณฑ์ในเดือนกันยายน 2022

เอล เซกันโด, แคลิฟอร์เนีย, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Phoenix Software International, Inc. ในวันนี้ได้ประกาศถึงความตั้งใจที่จะสร้าง JES3^plus V1R2 ซึ่งเป็นงานดัดแปลงจาก z/OS^® JES3 ของ IBM โดยจะวางจำหน่ายทั่วไปตั้งแต่วันที่ 30 กันยายน 2022 ผลิตภัณฑ์รุ่นนี้จะมีฟังก์ชันการทำงานใหม่และยังคงให้บริการฟังชันเดิมของช่วง 12 เดือนที่ผ่านมาอย่างต่อเนื่อง ด้วย JES3^plus Customer Advisory Council จาก Phoenix องค์กรที่เปลี่ยนไปใช้ JES3^plus จะสามารถเก็บเกี่ยวประโยชน์ของคุณสมบัติใหม่ต่าง ๆ ที่ได้รับการจัดอันดับในแง่ของการมอบมูลค่าทางธุรกิจที่แท้จริงให้แก่ลูกค้าขององค์กรเหล่านั้น

JES3^plus V1R2

ฟังก์ชันเด่น:

• Parallel SPOOL I/O – ใช้ประโยชน์อย่างเต็มที่จากเทคโนโลยี Parallel Access Volumes ซี่งเมนเฟรมที่ทันสมัยส่วนใหญ่ เช่น DASD สนับสนุน โดยรองรับโปรแกรมแชนเนล STARTIO สูงสุดแปดโปรแกรมที่ทำงานพร้อมกันสำหรับขอบเขต SPOOL เดียว นี่ถือเป็นการปรับปรุงครั้งสำคัญนอกเหนือจากแนวทาง JES3 แบบเดิมที่สามารถใช้ STARTIO ได้ครั้งละหนึ่งรายการต่อขอบเขต SPOOL เท่านั้น
• ลดความขัดแย้งในการล็อกภายใน – ตอนนี้คุณลักษณะนี้ได้มาอยู่ในลักษณะการทำงานของ JES3^plus โดย SRB ที่ดำเนินการ I/O เสร็จสิ้นหลายตัวจะดำเนินการพร้อมกัน โดยรับล็อกภายในเฉพาะตอนที่จำเป็นเท่านั้น นอกจากนี้ หาก I/O ที่เสร็จสมบูรณ์มีคำขอจากพื้นที่ที่อยู่เดียวแล้ว SRB จะถูกกำหนดเวลาโดยตรงไปยังพื้นที่ที่อยู่นั้นแทนที่จะเป็นพื้นที่ที่อยู่ของ JES3^plus
• ปรับปรุงสมดุลของ WLM Batch – การเปิดใช้คุณสมบัติพิเศษนี้ส่งผลให้ JES3plus วางงานแบทช์ลงในตัวเริ่มต้นที่ไม่ได้ใช้งานทั่วทั้ง JESplex โดยใช้เปอร์เซ็นต์เป้าหมายที่ได้มาจากจำนวนการจัดสรรตัวเริ่มต้นของ WLM ซึ่งจนถึงตอนนี้การดำเนินการนี้เกิดขึ้นได้ในระบบ JES2 เท่านั้น

“การเปลี่ยนเป็น JES3^plus เป็นทางเลือกที่ชัดเจนสำหรับลูกค้ารายเดิมของ IBM JES3” Ed Jaffe ประธานเจ้าหน้าที่ฝ่ายเทคโนโลยีของ Phoenix Software International กล่าว “และเราได้เสริมจุดดังกล่าวด้วยการปรับปรุงประสิทธิภาพด้วยผลลัพธ์เชิงประจักษ์อันน่าทึ่ง ซึ่งผลลัพธ์เหล่านั้นก็ได้แสดงออกมาให้เราเห็นแล้ว เราได้ดำเนินการวัดประสิทธิภาพแบบเข้มข้นของ SPOOL I/O บน z15^† ของเรา โดยพบว่า JES3^plus ทำงานได้เกือบสองเท่าของ IBM JES3 ในขณะที่ลดการใช้งานเครือข่าย FICON ลง 92% ในเวลาเดียวกัน! อีกทั้งยังพบผลลัพธ์ที่น่าพอใจในทำนองเดียวกันเมื่อเปรียบเทียบกับ JES2 และเนื่องจากแผนงานสำหรับการปรับปรุงของเราขับเคลื่อนโดยคำนึงถึงลูกค้า 100% เราจึงเชื่อว่าการย้ายไปยัง JES3^plus นี้ไม่ได้เป็นแค่ทางเลือกที่ง่ายที่สุดและเสี่ยงน้อยที่สุดเท่านั้น แต่ยังเป็นตัวเลือกที่เหมาะสมอีกด้วย”

(E)JES^® V6R2

(E)JES V6R2 ซึ่งเป็นเครื่องมือการจัดการ z/OS JESplex ที่ทันสมัยของ Phoenix Software รุ่นล่าสุด รวมถึงการปรับปรุงในเรื่องของการดูและจัดการการเชื่อมต่อและโครงสร้าง Coupling Facility สภาพแวดล้อมการจัดกำหนดการ WLM ประเภท/กลุ่มงาน สมาชิก sysplex และการเมาต์ z/OS UNIX นอกจากนี้ ยังมีการเพิ่มการสนับสนุนให้แก่ที่เก็บตัวกรองที่ช่วยให้ผู้ใช้ปลายทางสามารถบันทึกตัวกรองและโหลดซ้ำได้

^† สรุปการวิเคราะห์และข้อมูลเกณฑ์มาตรฐานดิบ SMF ตามคำขอ

TURIN, Italy, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — “Through food, the Piedmont region has fostered encounters and interaction between cultures from all over the world. After all, when you come to Piedmont, you immediately feel attracted not only by an incredible gastronomic variety, but also by a real food culture. It is no coincidence that this is the only region that hosts a university entirely dedicated to gastronomy.” With these words, Edward Mukiibi, President of Slow Food International, explains why he feels proud of the collaboration with the Piedmont Region, which this year hosted the 14th edition of Terra Madre Salone del Gusto, at Parco Dora in Turin. Biodiversity, education and activism guided all the activities of the event, with over 500 taste workshops, table appointments, conferences and meetings with philosophers, economists, activists, artists and researchers. They all spoke about the values associated with food today and the importance of knowing how to communicate them to the general public.

Terra Madre has grown in numbers and visibility in these 14 years, finding the right attention and sensitivity in Piedmont, the perfect destination, first and foremost, for every gourmet. Piedmont is an ambassador of Italian food and wine culture in the world with a historic reputation, with products of undisputed quality: from chocolate to IGP hazelnuts to rice grown in the largest rice fields in Europe, between Vercelli, Novara and Biella, and to the great variety of artisan cheeses, with DOPs such as Castelmagno and Toma, Robiola di Roccaverano, Raschera, Murazzano, Ossolano and Gorgonzola.

Many of these territorial peculiarities were experienced by a group of four foreign journalists, two British, one German and one Belgian, invited to discover not only the gastronomic, but also the cultural and architectural heritage of the region. The press tour, organised on the occasion of the Terra Madre Salone del Gusto, was curated by VisitPiemonte, the in-house company of the Piedmont Region and Unioncamere Piemonte, which deals with the promotion of tourism and food in the region. On the first day, the group visited the city centre that will host the Nitto ATP Finals (2021-2025), including the main places of interest, the Royal Residences of the House of Savoy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historic cafés and souvenir shops, the National Cinema Museum and the Mole Antonelliana, symbol of the city of Turin. After visiting Terra Madre Salone del Gusto, the journalists travelled to the city of Vercelli, where a guide took them on a tour of the historical centre and the main cultural and architectural sights. The last day was spent on Lake Maggiore, with a mini boat cruise of the Borromean Islands and gardens with a visit to Isola Bella.
