Being a Pay-TV innovator and pioneer, Nuno has led some of the earliest and most successful launches of advanced user interfaces, live TV restart, TV everywhere, network PVR and Cloud TV across several Pay-TV operators in Europe.

In his previous position he created Vodafone Group’s TV Product & Development organization from the ground up and led the global strategy and product development of Vodafone TV, a multi-national award-winning Cloud TV service, powered by the Kaltura TV Platform, now live across 7 countries.

“I am extremely excited to welcome Nuno to Kaltura’s executive team.

Now, together with Nuno, we are continuing our platform’s evolution from ‘Cloud TV’ to ‘Cognitive TV’ – marrying the power of the cloud with AI to provide a service that understands and predicts user behavior, and uses that to optimize service for the end-user and the financial results for the TV providers.”

Nuno Sanches, General Manager, Media and Telecom at Kaltura, stated: “Five years ago the decision to develop and deploy a cloud-based video streaming service that could scale to millions and merge the best of operator-grade Pay-TV and OTT was not obvious and its success surprised and shaped the Pay-TV industry. Today, as the ‘streaming wars’ rage on, every operator and media company needs to make the same bold move. Personally, by joining the strongest independent technology provider in this space, I now have the opportunity to make a massive impact on the market by helping further scale & bring to life the next generation of Cloud TV services.”

ZINFI Ends 2019 with Growth and Recognition from Its Customers as a Leading Partner Relationship Management Software Provider

ZINFI Acquires Multiple New Enterprise Customers for Its Industry-Leading Partner Relationship Management Solutions, Expanding Customer Base by Nearly 60%

ZINFI Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of partner relationship management (PRM) software solutions, announced its software business has ended 2019 with 58% year-over-year growth in the total number of customers and an increase in profitability as the result of multiple new customer acquisitions and renewals of existing software contracts. In addition to expanding its customer base, ZINFI also received G2 Crowd Leaders recognition for its industry-leading partner relationship management (PRM) solutions.

Among other innovations in 2019, ZINFI added new enterprise accounts for its PRM software across all three geographical regions it serves: the Americas, Asia and Europe. Building on the expansion of its enterprise account base, ZINFI also received great customer reviews and feedback on the G2 user review site, and repeatedly earned a spot in the “Leaders” quadrant in quarterly reports covering G2’s Partner Management Software category. ZINFI’s customers now range from small businesses with 100 employees to very large enterprise accounts with 100,000 employees or more.

“In 2019, we made good on our core commitment to providing world-class customer experiences. At ZINFI, we are obsessed with developing industry-leading technology that combines enterprise-grade features with consumer-level ease of use—and at a price that is very reasonable even for small and medium enterprises,” said Sugata Sanyal, ZINFI’s founder and CEO. “We are proud to have attained a better than 90% renewal rate in the PRM software category, where most users remain highly dissatisfied with their current vendors. This success is a result of our relentless innovation and our focus on empowering customers of all sizes with a great set of administrative tools that are super-easy for both vendors and their channel partners to use.”

ZINFI offers potential customers a 30-day free trial (no credit card required) that provides access to its entire Unified Channel Marketing (UCM) automation platform. This will allow any prospective buyers to test-drive its industry-leading channel management applications prior to making a purchase decision.

ZINFI was named a leader in The Forrester Wave: Through-Channel Marketing Automation, Q2 2018 report, which praised the “robust functionality, modularity, and customizations” of ZINFI’s Unified Channel Management (UCM) platform—the only solution in the marketplace developed as a native platform for complete integration of partner relationship management (PRM), partner marketing management (PMM) and partner sales management (PSM).

ZINFI was also named a leader in The Forrester Wave: Partner Relationship Management, Q4 2018 report, earning 13 perfect (5.0) scores for a broad range of specific evaluation criteria. Forrester cited ZINFI’s horizontal approach to the market and its “strong engineering pedigree,” noting that “ZINFI’s PRM solution provides robust global capabilities with excellent functionality, flexibility through a modular approach, and infinite customizations for complex channel environments.”

RhythmOne Launches Self-Serve Tools for Premium Publishers to Activate Programmatic Deals Across Channels

RhythmOne Launches Self-Serve Tools for Premium Publishers to Activate Programmatic Deals Across Channels

New Partner Hub Provides an Intuitive Dashboard and Streamlined Workflow, Helping Publishers Maximize Revenue Potential While Benefiting From Reduced Tech Fees

RhythmOne LLC, a Tremor International company, launched a new set of self-serve tools for publishers to activate programmatic deals across connected TV (CTV), video and banner inventory via deal IDs — providing enhanced reporting and transparency to help maximize yield for their premium inventory. To access the tools, the company also launched its new Partner Hub for publishers — an enhanced online portal designed to help publishers more easily and effectively manage revenue earned through the RhythmOne supply-side platform (SSP).

RhythmOne’s self-serve tools are focused on helping publishers to take more control, through streamlining incurred fees and addressing supply fragmentation concerns by delivering value and advantages unique to the company’s SSP.

“RhythmOne is committed to the success of our partners,” said Karim Rayes, Chief Product Officer at RhythmOne. “Our goals are to arm them with tools that maximize their revenue generation potential, and provide a campaign platform that offers robust reporting and transparency to drive quality global demand, all at a very competitive fee structure.”

Meeting the High Demand for Private Marketplace Transactions

The launch of new self-serve tools and Partner Hub provides RhythmOne publishers with omnichannel demand, more controls to activate programmatic deals, and a more robust and easy-to-use interface for account management.

The RhythmOne Partner Hub enhances the company’s current PMP offering and helps support publisher self-serve campaign set-up/activation for programmatic direct PMP deals. Publishers with direct sales teams can now use the Partner Hub to package their premium inventory and transact directly with a buyer via a deal ID — allowing publishers to secure guaranteed revenue for inventory, reserve a fixed amount of impressions for only interested buyers, garner higher CPMs, gain more control over how their inventory is packaged (and what ads appear on their sites/apps), transact directly with buyers to set deal terms, and leverage RhythmOne’s advanced reporting to help optimize supply value.

Advertisers also benefit from programmatic direct deals in that they allow buyers to programmatically purchase a set amount of impressions with guaranteed access to a publisher’s premium inventory at a predetermined price. This helps to ensure that the buyer reaches their desired audience with desired targeting and knows where their ads are being displayed.

“We have multiple integrations with the RhythmOne SSP, and with the new self-serve tools, we’re now able to see these at login,” said Ken Ripley, Vice President of Sales at Newsy, The E.W. Scripps Company. “The enhanced UI of the Partner Hub gives us an easier experience and maximized efficiency across our supply chain.”

RhythmOne is also planning to support publisher self-serve campaign set-up and activation for programmatic preferred PMP deals, which will give publishers the ability to offer a buyer first right of refusal to premium inventory. Publishers are expected to have access to preferred deals in subsequent updates to the RhythmOne Partner Hub in Q1 2020.

Smart Communications Named a Leader in The Aragon Research Tech Spectrum for Workflow and Content Automation, 2020

Smart Communications, the only provider of a cloud-based, next-generation customer communications management platform, announces it has been identified as a Leader by analyst firm Aragon Research in its new report: The Aragon Research Tech Spectrum for Workflow and Content Automation (WCA), 2020.

WCA platforms are key to digital transformation, enabling enterprises to shorten the time to revenue, reducing manual work and errors. Aragon predicts that “65 percent of enterprises will have re-architected their document processes with a focus on automated document creation and routing by the end of 2020.”

The report evaluated 12 technology vendors, and Leaders were identified as vendors that help to drive the market and have a vision for the future, with comprehensive strategies, products and services that align with industry direction and market demand, and effectively perform against that strategic backdrop.

Aragon noted Smart Communications for its “journey-based document creation workflow” and “content automation” and also highlighted the combined solution made possible via the company’s acquisition of Intelledox in July 2019. In 2018, Aragon identified Intelledox for its innovation in the emerging WCA market: “We expect others to follow suit with the Workflow and Content Automation journey approach that Intelledox has pioneered,” said Jim Lundy, founder and CEO of Aragon Research.

“By acquiring Intelledox last year we created a unique solution that empowers enterprises to deliver the smartest, most interactive communications possible throughout the entire customer lifecycle and to do so in a way that also helps them become more efficient internally,” said James Brown, CEO of Smart Communications. “We believe this report is key validation of this strategy and how important an approach like ours is for companies that are transforming to embrace a digital-first, customer-driven future.”

Digerati Provides Strategic Outlook for FY2020

Digerati Provides Strategic Outlook for FY2020

Accelerated Execution of M&A Strategy

Digerati Technologies, Inc., a provider of cloud services specializing in UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) solutions for the small to medium-sized business (“SMB”) market, announced its strategic initiatives and outlook for FY2020 ended July 31, 2020. Management continues to be focused on driving long-term sales and revenue growth, profitability, and enhancing shareholder value.

The Company’s plan to successfully meet its corporate goals and objectives includes:

A continued focus on its core UCaaS/cloud communication business, which operates in a segment of the telecommunication industry that continues to experience significant growth as businesses migrate from legacy phone systems to cloud-based telephony systems.

Continued enhancements to its broadband product portfolio that include an emphasis on marketing leading-edge network and business continuity solutions like SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide-Area Network), and its 4g LTE mobile data solution. The Company anticipates that these data centric solutions in demand by the business market will lead to an increase in average revenue per customer (ARPU).

Continued emphasis on its recurring revenue business model and building on its solid operational and financial foundation of $6.4 million in annualized revenue to improve cash-flow profitability.

Acceleration of its M&A activities targeting local and/or regional UCaaS/cloud telephony providers, which have excelled in their market with that “local” touch when serving their business customers. The Company will continue with its disciplined approach of future acquisitions and only acquire industry peers that meet key operational, technical, and financial criteria.

A continued focus on the U.S. market of SMBs, which remains a high-growth market as businesses migrate from legacy phone systems to cloud-based communication solutions.
A continued emphasis on Channel Management and the Company’s Agent/Channel Partner sales strategy that includes enabling Value Added Resellers (“VAR”) to offer cloud and session-based communication services to the enterprise market, primarily the SMB.

Continued enhancement of its infrastructure and back office systems to streamline operations and automate processes for efficiency, all which support both its organic and acquisition growth model.

Continued implementation of a total “pre” and “post” sales support model for building a world-class service delivery and help desk organization.

During FY2019, Digerati integrated two acquisitions that created a solid foundation for continued growth and for achieving its corporate objectives. The Company’s business, that operates as T3 Communications, Inc. (www.T3com.com) in Texas and Florida, serves over 700 business customers and 10,000 users across a broad range of industries including banking, healthcare, financial services, automotive, legal, real estate, staffing, and government.

On September 24, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Nexogy, Inc. (“Nexogy”), a leading “white label” provider of cloud communication and broadband solutions tailored for businesses based in Miami, Florida and serving over 1,500 SMB accounts and 14,000 users. On a trailing twelve months (TTM) pro forma basis, the combination of T3 and Nexogy will generate $12.7 million in annual revenue, while the consolidation of telecom infrastructure and integration of cloud PBX platforms and back-office systems is expected to produce cost savings and EBITDA improvements.

Digerati is participating in two high-growth areas driven by demand from the enterprise market. The global market for UCaaS solutions is forecasted to reach $96 billion in value by 2023, while revenue from SD-WAN (cloud WAN) service providers is growing at 70% annually and is estimated to reach $8.05 billion worldwide by 2021. Approximately 95% of Digerati’s revenue is contracted monthly recurring revenue.

Arthur L. Smith, CEO of Digerati, stated, “We successfully delivered on execution of our plan during FY2019 and integrated two acquisitions during the same year that clearly validated our business model. We will not deviate from our stated business plan and strategic initiatives that have remained consistent over the past two fiscal years. We will raise the bar for growth and profitability, as we work towards accelerating our M&A strategy now that we have achieved an operational scale that allows us to derive increased EBITDA from follow-on acquisitions and improve our return on investment (ROI).”

SPA (Strategic Pricing Associates) & SPASIGMA Announce Company Name Change to SPARXiQ

New Name Reflects Company’s Unification

SPA (Strategic Pricing Associates) and SPASIGMA, leaders in business analytics and sales training, announced its corporate name change to SPARXiQ, effective immediately and to be implemented across the company’s solutions throughout the calendar year 2020. The company’s headquarters will remain in Cleveland, OH. Customers, vendors, and partners will find an impressive expansion of solutions offered.

Established in 1993, SPA (Strategic Pricing Associates, Inc.) has generated billions of dollars of profitable growth for over six hundred organizations, including twenty-five Fortune 500 companies, and is a leading provider of profit-maximizing analytics.

SPARXiQ CEO David Bauders says, “When I started SPA (Strategic Pricing Associates, Inc.) in 1993, I understood that pricing was a huge lever in a company’s profitability, a stronger lever than virtually every other profit lever. Simply put, helping a company go from cost-plus and/or undisciplined, wild-west pricing to an analytically based, structured approach could predictably increase that company’s operating profit by 2 to 4 margin points. In businesses like wholesale distribution, where EBITDA averages only 4 percent, that is a huge opportunity to increase a company’s profitability by 50 to 100 percent; in manufacturing, the effects are also impressive. Over the years, SPA has helped over 600 businesses accomplish this mission. It has been an incredible journey, and I feel blessed to have worked with so many talented clients, colleagues, and industry partners to build success for so many varied organizations around the world.”

The notion that pricing should move beyond gut feel — even in today’s technological world — to analytically-based, structured, and disciplined pricing, was not (and continues not to be) obvious to many sales teams. Companies have differed in how successfully they navigated the nuanced dynamics of customer relationships, competitive forces, sales personalities, customer personalities, all the qualitative factors outside the usual scope of analytics. To address the modern challenges our clients’ sales teams face, CEO David Bauders founded SPASIGMA in 2015.

SPASIGMA expanded SPA’s mission: to help our clients negotiate effectively with their customers to drive effective adoption of strategic pricing – while supporting more profitable customer relationships. SPASIGMA training provides modern, impactful, economical, retentive training to help sales forces sustainably meet the challenges of improving profitability in the competitive marketplace they face daily.

“Today, we live in an increasingly distracted, time-pressured world. If we were to get sales teams to embrace continuous, drip-learning approaches, we would have to provide a modern learning experience to overcome the traditional Death-by-PowerPoint and Green-Screen, Talking-Head videos. So, we decided to embrace the modern entertainment industry’s best characteristics and bring them to the training world. Creative instructional design, story-telling, scripting, and casting can provide the foundation for modern, video-centric skills training to help sales professionals build and monetize higher value with their customers. It’s like Netflix for sales teams,” said David Bauders.

Beyond market-leading pricing analytics, SPARXiQ solutions include sales analytics to aid lead-generation and maximize customer retention, nurturing and share-of-wallet; account- and product-profitability analytics; sales talent-selection and and sales-enablement analytics; a robust suite of sales training content; and a knowledge-management platform (Empower), delivered in today’s modern, micro-learning, video-centric, Binge-Worthy, and peer-to-peer formats. These solutions address the critical business challenges of the sales and profit acceleration, vendor and distributor rebate management and inventory management, and sales talent selection and development.

SPARXiQ also provides industry hubs to engage manufacturers, distributors, and rep agencies in aggregating, organizing, analyzing, and distributing point-of-sales data, market insights, vendor collateral, vendor leads, and value-based selling tools.

Dolores Bauders, COO of SPARXiQ stated, “We are excited to bring our expanded sales analytics and complementary skills training to our valued pricing analytics customers, many of whom have been with us for five to ten plus years. We also would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for their business and affirm our continued commitment to the sales and pricing analytics that drive their profitable growth.”
