OnMobile unveils innovative Ringback Tone application in Spain

OnMobile Global Limited (OnMobile), a leading provider of mobile music offerings, is proud to announce that it has launched a new Ringback Tone (RBT) application. The app, which is now “live” in Spain, showcases a series of ‘firsts’ and a great design and provides a truly compelling user experience. This new product is currently available on Android and will soon be introduced on iOS.

“The launch of this new application represents a major milestone for OnMobile as it further exemplifies the company’s global dominance in RBT as well as the appeal of this product for mobile customers worldwide,” said Florent Stroppa, Senior Vice President – Products, OnMobile. “We view the 8-10 second time lapse during which a caller waits for the call to be picked up, as a shared communication space to be used creatively by subscribers wishing to express their identity and connect with their contacts before actually being connected. OnMobile’s team is mobilized to leverage the company’s platform to deliver other such innovative and meaningful products to mobile users worldwide.”

This app introduces several new features designed to increase user awareness of and engagement with this product. Because it is subscription-based, the application gives users the freedom to change the songs assigned to their contacts as often as they like. And thanks to access to an unlimited catalog of songs from some of the world’s major music labels, users can now customize the calling experience of their contacts by setting the mood for their interactions and creating multiple playlists.

Building on the successful “Press * to copy” feature pioneered by OnMobile on the traditional voice channel, the app has a “Press * to favour” which allows mobile subscribers to add their favorite tracks with one simple click. Powered by OnMobile’s platform, the new product introduces cutting-edge technical capabilities including near real-time notifications, some of which allow subscribers to know which track is being heard by callers in real time. An enhanced call log showcases the complete history of songs played, greatly improving music discovery.

OnMobile Global Limited (“OnMobile”) today announced the results for Fourth Quarter FY2015 ended March 31, 2015. The revenues for the fiscal quarter declined by 5.6% q-o-q and 4.9% y-o-y. Excluding forex fluctuation and Voxmobili business, the revenue for Q4 2015 declined by 2.0% q-o-q and increased by 11% y-o-y. EBITDA margin is at 15.3% in Q4 as compared to 20.5% in Q3 and 11.4% in Q4 of FY2014. The Proforma EBITDA without the forex impact is INR 471 million at 21.2% and the operating profit is INR 113 million at 5.1%. For the full year FY2015, the revenue was INR 8,319 million (excluding Voxmobili business) – a growth of 5.7% over FY2014.

Mr. Rajiv Pancholy, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, OnMobile Global said, “Despite the obvious impact of adverse currency movement diluting our quarter over quarter performance, we are buoyed by the fact that we continue to seize new opportunities, and are increasing the effort on new product development and initiatives. Some of these new initiatives are planned to be deployed with our customers in this financial year.

“On a KPI basis, we were able to achieve the EBITDA margin guidance that we had provided for the year. However the forex impact has put us back by a few margin points and with the currencies retreating partially, we expect some recovery in near future”, said Mr. Praveen Kumar, Chief Financial Officer, OnMobile Global.

Q4 FY2015 Business highlights:

International business (76% of total revenues):

• Revenues down by 7.5% q-o-q to INR 1,621 million and grew 13.6% on a y-o-y basis, normalized for Voxmobili business
• Proforma growth in international business excluding the currency depreciation in Q4 is negative 2.8% q-o-q and 5.8% y-o-y (19% excluding Voxmobili business)

Developed markets:

• Europe recorded a revenue decline of 7.8% q-o-q and grew by 52.9% y-o-y (and 92% excluding Voxmobili business) to INR 734 million. Normalized for the euro depreciation in Q4, the revenue grew 0.1% q-o-q and 109% y-o-y excluding the Voxmobili revenue.
• Launched innovative Ringback Tone application in Spain. New, evolved features give users the ability to personalize the calling experience of their friends, family and contacts like never before.

Q4 FY2015 Financial performance:

• Revenue is down by 5.6% q-o-q and 4.9% y-o-y to INR 2,140 million. Excluding Forex fluctuation and normalized for Voxmobili, revenue is down by 2.0% and grew by 11% y-o-y
• Manpower cost reduced by INR 32 million q-o-q, representing the residual impact of cost rationalization undertaken in the earlier quarters and in Q4
• EBITDA margin is at 15.3% in Q4 as compared to 20.5% in Q3 and 11.4% in Q4 of FY 2014
• Other opex includes the Mark to Market (MTM) impact of all foreign currency fluctuation amounting to INR 120 million and hence EBITDA is lower to this extent. Further, the impact of Euro and BRL on various line items of the Profit and Loss statement is INR 26 million on the EBITDA and INR 22 million on Earnings Before Taxation. The Proforma EBITDA without the FX impact mentioned above is INR 471 million at 21.2% and the Operating Profit is INR 113 million at 5.1%.

Coveo announces another sequential best quarter as its intelligent search apps upskill thousands of people

Coveo announced today that the first quarter of 2015 reached record levels of bookings growth thanks to accelerating market demand for its intelligent search apps, which deliver contextually relevant content and experts to people at every point of work. First quarter revenue bookings increased 116 percent over the prior-year quarter,  while Coveo for Salesforce subscription bookings grew 300 percent over the same period.  Coveo also announced the promotion of Mike Raley from senior director of demand generation to vice president of marketing, responsible for managing the company’s global marketing programs.

Coveo for Salesforce saw rapid adoption, particularly within the high tech and financial services industries, where mid-size to Fortune 500 organizations selected Coveo to scale customer service operations. Coveo for Salesforce – Communities Edition helps customers solve their own cases by proactively offering case-resolving knowledge suggestions and Coveo for Salesforce – Service Cloud Edition helps agents upskill as they engage customers by injecting case-resolving content and experts into the Salesforce UI as they work. New Coveo for Salesforce customers in Q1 2015 include AECOM, Brocade, BMC and MobileIron, among others.

“Coming off a very strong 2014 with an even stronger Q1 2015 underscores the market demand for technology that increases the proficiency of people at every point of work. We are excited for the future of intelligent search within businesses,” said Louis Tetu, chairman and CEO of Coveo. “It was also a great pleasure during the quarter to promote Mike Raley to vice president of marketing. As Coveo grows we are committed to the career growth of our employees. Mike has contributed greatly to the company since joining four years ago and he will be instrumental in leading Coveo’s aggressive growth.”

Raley, who had served as senior director of demand generation since joining Coveo in 2011, has fifteen years’ experience with high-growth B2B software and service firms. Prior to joining Coveo, Mike served as marketing director with Aspect Software, a leading provider of customer contact software. Mike has also held marketing management roles at FTI Technology, the e-discovery software & services division of FTI Consulting, and at Sapient, the marketing and consulting firm.

Coveo’s strong quarterly performance was also driven by Coveo customers expanding their implementations as Coveo apps are expanded into additional business areas. Customer success metrics tracked during the quarter include the following:

• One large high-tech firm increased customer case deflection by nearly 18 percent in the first six months with Coveo for Salesforce – Communities Edition and its case deflection workflow. Coveo automatically suggests relevant, case-resolving content as customers enter case details, effectively solving the case before the customer submits it.
• At the same time, support agents at this company use Coveo for Salesforce – Service Cloud Edition, which automatically shows case-resolving information and relevant experts as agents work. Both versions rely on the same unified index to virtually consolidate case-resolving information and experts from across multiple Salesforce orgs and disparate systems, including Help and Community forums. Agents at this company reported an 85 percent increase in relevance with the implementation of Coveo.  Coveo customers generally see the return outlined in the following infographic:

About Coveo

Coveo Search Apps unleash the power of fragmented, disparate information from across the enterprise IT ecosystem at every point-of-work.  Recognized as the Most Visionary Leader in Enterprise Search by Gartner, Coveo enterprise search allows companies to create high performance contact centers, cultivate company-wide collaboration, and succeed at self-service.

Interset to demonstrate how advanced behavioral analytics can detect advanced cyber attacks with New Interset 3 Release at RSA Conference 2015

Threat detection leader Interset will demonstrate at the RSA 2015 Conference today how its behavioral analytics technology, combined with metadata collected from endpoints, directories and application logs, can better detect advanced threats that have penetrated perimeter defense, such as account takeovers, one of the most prevalent forms of cyber attack.  The demo will be the first public showing of Interset 3, the Advanced Threat Detection Platform from Interset that features:

• Lightweight sensors and connectors which assemble extensive event metadata from across the enterprise to provide unparalleled visibility to risks and threats
• Advanced behavioral analytics to reduce noise, prioritize risks and focus resources on the greatest threats
• An intuitive, graphical interface that quickly and accurately visualizes the stages of advanced threats and provides forensic data so threats can be isolated and stopped.

Interset’s approach to detecting account takeovers using advanced behavioral analytics is just one use case being featured at the RSA 2015 Conference under the company’s #CoverYourAssets showcase, a presentation of outside and inside attacks that have been detected and prevented at real Interset customer sites.

“Once a cyber-attack has penetrated the perimeter defenses of a company and is expanding across the organization, it becomes very difficult to detect, with the attack hiding in user accounts and normal network traffic,” said Interset CTO Stephan Jou. “Most companies today cannot see when their perimeter has been breached by a targeted attack, nor can they see an insider who is stealing data.  With the release of Interset 3, behavioral analytics becomes an intelligent interior line of defense, giving organizations both the proactive visibility and detection capability needed to quickly and accurately surface cyber-attacks and insider attacks as they are occurring, and stop them before data is compromised.”

20 For 20 Promotion at RSA 2015

Qualified RSA 2015 Conference attendees who pre-register for a sneak preview of Interset 3 and view a 20 minute demo at the show will receive their choice of a $20 gift card to Amazon, Google or iTunes while supplies last. Register at https://www.interset.com/coveryourassets/

Interset, a winner of the annual Security Innovation Network™ (SINET) 16 Innovators competition sponsored by the Dept. of Homeland Security, specializes in providing actionable and prioritized views of the real threats facing organizations with sensitive data to protect.

“The interest in behavioral analytics as a means of detecting and measuring anomalous events that predict both cyber or insider attacks has skyrocketed in the past year as organizations search for accurate and effective threat detection technologies,” said Dale Quayle, Interset CEO. “Our approach at RSA 2015 is to highlight our customers best use cases — based on first hand, real-world experience — so that security professionals in charge of preventing these attacks can come away with an understanding of how powerful our Interset 3 platform is and how it can be deployed to cover the use cases specific to their organization.”

Interset #CoverYourAssets Case Study Showcase – Proven Ways to Detect Attacks

At RSA 2015, Interset will present five case studies each day highlighting how customers use Interset to detect advanced threats and prevent sensitive data from being stolen.  If you are unable to attend the RSA Conference and are interested in seeing demonstrations of these cases studies please contact Interset at https://www.interset.com/schedule-a-demo/  to schedule a meeting with us.  At RSA 2015, the case study showcase will include the following stories:

• Insider Threat –Employee Leaving Organization Interset can detect indicators that an employee is planning to leave and alert if the employee is stealing sensitive data.
• Insider Threat – Privileged Users Interset will recognize and surface improper and high risk behaviors carried out by IT Admins and other privileged users that other tools cannot see.
• Insider Threat – Espionage & Collusion Interset’s ability to correlate activity means it is effective in detecting and surfacing attacks where more than one employee is involved or where employees are knowingly staying below threshold alert levels.
• Cyber Attack – Account Takeover By collecting and correlating endpoint and directory data, Interset can associate authentication attempts with lateral movement anomalies to detect accurately detect accounts that have been compromised
• Cyber Attack – Internal Line of Defense If multiple accounts or machines have been compromised in an APT attack, Interset will detect the mid and late stages of the attack, acting as an internal line of defense and alert before the attack can compromise data.

About Interset

Interset provides a highly intelligent and accurate insider and targeted outsider threat detection solution that unlocks the power of behavioral analytics, machine learning and big data to provide the fastest, most flexible and affordable way for IT teams of all sizes to operationalize a data protection program. Utilizing agentless data collectors, lightweight endpoint sensors, advanced behavioral analytics and an intuitive user interface; Interset provides unparalleled visibility over sensitive data, enabling early attack detection and actionable forensic intelligence with reduced false positives and noise.  Interset solutions are deployed to protect critical data across the manufacturing, life sciences, hi-tech, finance, government, aerospace & defense and securities brokerage industries.

3i unifies collective knowledge with Coveo Search to support fast and accurate decision-making

Coveo today announced that 3i, a leading international investment manager focused on mid-market private equity, infrastructure and debt management, is using Coveo Enterprise Search technology to increase the speed of access to deal-related knowledge by 90% and reduce the staff and resources required to respond to compliance requests by 20%. Employee response to the new way of working with Coveo was immediate and positive, with one finance professional saying, “It has revolutionized my life.”

Listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1994 with almost £13 billion of assets under management, 3i is part of the FTSE 100 and has 270 employees working out of 9 offices across Europe, Asia, and North America. To support its global business, 3i had developed an IT infrastructure anchored by a broad portfolio of systems and infrastructure, including Microsoft SharePoint and Enterprise Vault, Microsoft Exchange, File Shares, Active Directory and several databases.

The systems contain a wide array of information about past and current transactions, including deal sites hosted on SharePoint, email communications residing in MS Exchange, the firm’s archived content residing in Symantec Enterprise Vault, and a wide variety of documents and presentations in 3i’s corporate file share. Over time, the volume of content in these systems proliferated, with file share content and email volume growing at 27% and 17% per year, respectively, making it challenging for employees to find relevant information across multiple systems.

“We decided we needed to upgrade the search experience to ensure that our investment professionals and employees could swiftly find the information and content they needed to improve analysis and decision-making,” says Jon Page, Global IT Applications Manager at 3i.

3i went to market for an enterprise search solution with several key capabilities in mind, including:

• An interface editor that enables search interfaces to be easily integrated in multiple systems
• Enterprise-class security to honor user and document-level security across all systems
• Text analytics to automatically add metadata to content to make it more findable by end users
• Actionable usage analytics to understand user search behavior, content gaps and results relevance

The team selected Coveo Enterprise Search after considering FAST Search for SharePoint and the Google Search Appliance. “Coveo’s speed of deployment was superior to its competitors,” Page said. “We were amazed at how things could be done in hours instead of days or weeks. For example, we were surprised at how quickly it was to implement the indexes, search interfaces and customer refiners that we wanted with Coveo.”

Coveo Enterprise Search provides organizations with a unified indexing solution that securely consolidates corporate data and knowledge assets and delivers contextually relevant results to end users via a single search interface. Via unified knowledge access in any enterprise application or device, the Coveo Enterprise Search platform allows businesses to harness disparate information stored throughout their information ecosystem to transform businesses by upskilling people at the point-of-need.

90% improvement in the time to find relevant information supports fast and accurate decision-making

Today, 3i staff members use Coveo to instantly find relevant information using either a browser-based interface or integrated search interface within SharePoint from across 3.6 million file share documents, 6.3 million Exchange emails, 897,000 SharePoint items and documents and 107 million Enterprise Vault records. With Coveo, the speed of access to deal-related knowledge has increased by 90% for staff members and compliance team has seen a 20% reduction in the staff and resources required to respond to compliance requests.

In addition, 3i’s compliance team used the Coveo JavaScript UI Interface Editor to build a customized interface that enables them to search and correlate content from across 3i’s entire dataset. As content is indexed in near real time, users have access to up-to-date search results. “The moment you receive an email, it appears in Coveo’s search results instantly,” Page says. To provide users with the most relevant search results, Page utilizes insights gathered from Coveo’s Usage Analytics Cloud Service to continually fine-tune relevance and boost popular content.

“Coveo is now top of mind,” Page says. “It has become an essential tool in everyone’s day.”

Coveo announces new connectors to unify customer information in cloud and on-premise systems

Coveo today announced the availability of several new and version-update Connectors for its leading Enterprise Search Platform. The Coveo Connectors further expand the opportunity for support organizations to leverage all of the rich, customer-relevant knowledge and information fragmented among multiple cloud and enterprise applications. Unified, contextual knowledge and data can now be unified across cloud and on-premise systems with Coveo Connectors for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Lithium Online Communities, Oracle Knowledge, YouTube, Atlassian Confluence and JIRA.

Coveo Connectors are pre-built, production-ready integrations that enable indexing, or virtual unification, of unstructured and structured content from both cloud and enterprise applications. Coveo Connectors provide the scalability and real-time refresh capabilities for dynamic information mashups while respecting the security and permissions of each indexed system, ensuring that users see only information they have permission to view. Coveo Connectors virtually unify disparate, fragmented data into the Coveo unified index, where it is automatically enriched and can be unified with related information from vastly different systems and injected into the point of need.

Customer service organizations using Coveo Enterprise Search-powered applications, such as Coveo for Salesforce Service Cloud and Communities Editions or other Coveo customer service applications, can now securely unify data and knowledge stored within these applications with content from Salesforce and other cloud and on-premise applications to unify and present relevant customer, product and issue resolution information in context. With Coveo, support interactions become more relevant and effortless for customers and support agents alike.

• The Coveo Dynamics CRM Connector unifies valuable sales, marketing and customer service data stored within Microsoft’s flagship CRM offering, with the rest of an organization’s fragmented data. With the Dynamics CRM Connector, a wide array of Dynamics CRM entities, including account, lead, opportunity, marketing campaign, product and service case information, can now be unified by Coveo Enterprise Search applications.
• The Coveo Oracle Knowledge (formerly Inquira) Connector brings the rich knowledge stored within an Oracle Knowledge instance, including content records, information on discussion boards and forums, and topics and messages, into the Coveo unified index, where it can be enriched and connected virtually with related information. The connector supports the Oracle Knowledge security model by indexing item permissions alongside the content, so users searching Oracle Knowledge retrieve only content that they have permission to see.
• The Coveo Lithium Connector allows users to search and consolidate customer-facing knowledge and information from this cloud-based, social and community platform. The updated Connector can unify a wide range of Lithium content types, including communities, discussions, threads, categories, topics, comments, reviews and more.
• The Coveo YouTube Connector brings together knowledge assets, such as product training videos, with all relevant customer and product data, vastly simplifying self-service interactions and powering support agents with preferred media. With this Connector, video content becomes part of the broad range of relevant information delivered by Coveo in the context of customer support interactions across multiple channels.

In addition, Coveo has also made significant enhancements to its existing Atlassian Confluence and JIRA Connectors. The Confluence Connector is now supported in the cloud, allowing Coveo for Salesforce customers to index and consolidate information from these data sources and make it available to customer service agents and customers. The Coveo Atlassian JIRA V2 Connector allows Coveo to index JIRA instances and unify content and knowledge, including items such as projects, issues, comments, attachments and more, allowing customer service organizations to access relevant bug tracking information.

“Broad connectivity is a hallmark of the Coveo platform and applications,” says Laurent Simoneau, president and CTO of Coveo. “The new and updated Coveo-built Connectors further broaden our ability to securely unify the entire ‘ecosystem of record’ for mid to large organizations, delivering contextual customer knowledge and information within the service channel of choice.”

Coveo has also introduced a series of new and updated connectors in support of its Enterprise Search Platform, including new Connectors for PTC Windchill, Dropbox and RSS feeds and updates to its existing SharePoint Connector. These Connectors add to the company’s existing library of connectors for enterprise systems.

Interset closes $10M in funding to expand Advanced Threat Detection Platform

Advanced threat detection innovator Interset has closed a $10M round to expand the capabilities and accelerate adoption of its advanced threat detection platform, the company announced today.  Interset’s platform enables IP driven companies to deliver an effective defense against targeted attacks and data breaches in industries such as manufacturing, defense, technology, energy and pharmaceuticals.  New investors include lead investor Toba Capital, and Informatica, (Nasdaq:INFA), the world’s number one independent provider of data integration software. Continued support from existing investors Anthem Venture Partners and Telesystem Ltd. completed the round.

Interset addresses the most critical problem facing enterprises today: how to quickly and accurately detect real threats to intellectual property and other sensitive data and have enough information about the threats to stop them before data is stolen. Headlines are painful warnings of how unsuccessful companies are in detecting attacks. Most security teams struggle across the same two extremes – either they have no visibility to potential attacks or they are overwhelmed with thousands of security events, some important, but most just noise.  In most cases, the attack is detected weeks or months later, after data is compromised.

The Interset Advanced Threat Detection Platform creates an actionable and prioritized view of the real threats facing organizations. It works by connecting big data feeds from previously siloed repositories and data sources including application and operating system logs, identity repositories, existing security tools and endpoints —  the places where critical threat data resides.  The Interset platform correlates millions of these events, connecting the interrelated activities of identities, machines and assets. The data is delivered to Interset’s patent-pending behavioral analytics engine, which applies multiple mathematical frameworks to effectively identify and compute threats from either a single dataset, or corroborating events across multiple datasets, to rapidly identify threat actors and other high-risk entities.

The funding round will be used to expand the capabilities of Interset’s platform, accelerate adoption among new customers and develop Interset OEM partnerships, such as the recently announced source code threat protection solution with Perforce Software.

One customer deploying Interset is Surescripts, the nation’s largest health information network. According to Paul Calatayud, CISO at SureScripts, “The value is being able to monitor all data exits, including electronic transfers, screen captures, prints, and unauthorized or authorized data shares for data exfiltration. I am especially interested in watching source code, PHI & HIPPA regulated data, and clinical data files.  Interset gives me the visibility I need across all those data assets, while helping greatly reduce the noise created by the massive amounts of data events we collect.  This allows my team to focus in on what is important and take action to prevent misuse. ”

Interset is the second monitoring and analytics software company led by president and CEO

Dale Quayle, a 25-year veteran of enterprise software who was previously CEO of Integrien, sold to VMware in 2010. Integrien analytics software enabled IT managers to analyze the performance of their IT infrastructure and predict faults and failures.

Michael Coffman, Partner at Toba Capital, said, “I’m pleased to be working with Dale Quayle and the team at Interset. Not only does Interset represent the ideal combination of an experienced and visionary executive team in an important and challenging market, but they’ve determined how to deploy an easy to use data protection solution that is aimed straight at the biggest challenge facing their customers — detecting and surfacing targeted insider and outsider attacks while eliminating the growing “noise” problem that is paralyzing security teams today.”

Interset, a winner of the Security Innovation Network™ (SINET) 16 Innovators competition supported by the Department of Homeland Security, Science & Technology Directorate, is aggressively building out new threat visualizations to make it easier for security teams to understand how attacks are unfolding and how to defend against them. Central to this approach is a new multidimensional kill-chain view to be showcased at the RSA Conference 2015 April 20-24 in San Francisco.

According to Interset’s Quayle, “Many people are looking to analytics to solve the threat detection challenge, but few companies are delivering a platform that is mature enough to actually cover the required use cases. Customers tell us the Interset platform combines the right mix of probabilistic math and critical datasets required to effectively detect and surface the real risks and threats they face today. Our engineers and data scientists have built an extremely flexible, powerful and scalable threat detection solution. By adding new, experienced and knowledgeable investors who understand the security challenge, and with the influx of fresh capital, Interset is set for an exciting period of rapid innovation and growth.”

About Interset

Interset provides a highly intelligent and accurate insider and targeted outsider threat detection solution that unlocks the power of behavioral analytics, machine learning and big data to provide the fastest, most flexible and affordable way for IT teams of all sizes to operationalize a data protection program. Utilizing agentless data collectors, lightweight endpoint sensors, advanced behavioral analytics and an intuitive user interface; Interset provides unparalleled visibility over sensitive data, enabling early attack detection and actionable forensic intelligence without false positives or white noise.  Interset solutions are deployed to protect critical data across the manufacturing, life sciences, hi-tech, finance, government, aerospace & defense and securities brokerage industries.

Stingray unveils a new visual identity and launches a new mobile app in Europe

Stingray, the worldwide leading provider of multiplatform music services for multi-channel television service suppliers is rolling out their new global brand identity and logo illustrating all the services they offer across Europe. This global launch will allow the dynamic company to regroup all their services under the new unified brand – an initiative that will grant them better international visibility.

This new branding coincides with the launch of the all-new Stingray Music mobile app in Europe, which gives users on-the-go access to the best music for every moment, place and mood in their lives. For the first time ever, all viewers with access to Stingray Music channels on their televisions will be able to use the Stingray Music app free of charge by identifying themselves using brand new audio imprinting technology, a worldwide first.

Stingray Music: The best music for every moment, place and mood in your life

In collaboration with the Sid Lee Agency, Stingray reviewed their vision, mission, and the guiding principles of their brand identity, and today proposes a modified logo, faithful to their mission, and brandishing new colours. The logo, representing two superimposed rays, projects the energetic and contemporary sense of the company, and the dynamic nature of their range of services.

From now on all of the company’s services will be grouped under a common name, Stingray. The new branding will be phased in gradually, starting with the two music services, Music Choice Europe and XLnt Radio, which from April 1 will be known as Stingray Music. From the same date Lite TV will be branded Stingray Lite TV. Concert TV and The Karaoke Channel will follow at a later date.

“It has been seven years since Stingray was founded, and over the course of those years several strategic acquisitions have come our way. As such, we have an extremely coherent portfolio in terms of experience and quality, so it seemed natural that we should offer our clients all our services under a single brand that speaks to them. We expect to speed up development of innovative products to allow our clients to have the best music with them at all times,” stated Éric Boyko, President and CEO of Stingray.

Starting April 1, 2015, several of the brand’s new visual elements will gradually be implemented and unveiled in order to add new energy, and to reflect its values across all platforms in Europe. As of now, you can visit the new website at stingray.com to check out the Stingray Music mobile app’s new look.

• Limitless: access to all your music channels and more.
• Customised: select your favourite playlists.
• Simple: authenticate instantly with audio signal recognition from your TV provider or with a single login.
• Social: Sign-in using your Facebook account.

The Stingray Music mobile app will offer unlimited streaming, the highest quality digital audio, channels curated by music experts around the world, and access to the latest releases and chart-topping artists. No ads, no talk. Just great music.

The app will be introduced nationwide in the Netherlands on April 1, where Stingray Music is available across all platforms. Germany will follow in May with further launches in Europe following.

“The launch of the Stingray Music mobile app will create a universe of unlimited options for our clients, and the possibility to have a custom made experience that reaches the expectations of our clientele. Free with a TV subscription to any of our partners, the Stingray Music app will be the ideal companion for all your activities,” said M. Boyko.

Coveo releases new enterprise search connectors to unify organizations’ broad ecosystems of record

Coveo today announced the availability of several new and updated Connectors for third-party cloud storage, product lifecycle and social media feeds for its leading Enterprise Search Platform. The Coveo Connectors further expand the opportunity for organizations to leverage all of the rich, relevant knowledge and information fragmented among multiple cloud and enterprise applications. Unified, contextual knowledge and data can now be unified with Coveo Connectors for PTC Windchill, Dropbox, YouTube and RSS feeds and improved connectors for SharePoint and JIRA.

Coveo Connectors are production-ready integrations that enable indexing of unstructured and structured content from both cloud and enterprise applications. Coveo Connectors provide the scalability and real-time refresh capabilities for dynamic information mashups while respecting the complex security and permissions for each indexed systems. Connectors bring facsimiles of disparate, fragmented data into the Coveo unified index, where it is automatically enriched and can be unified with related information from vastly different systems and injected at the point of need.

“Coveo is committed to building and maintaining connectors for the most prevalent enterprise systems, both cloud and on-premise, to provide the unification of data that is required by the digital workplace,” said Laurent Simoneau, president and CTO of Coveo. “Bringing highly relevant content and experts from such key applications directly into the context of employees, customers and partners helps everyone gain new skills at the moment of need to transform operations.”

• The Coveo PTC Windchill Connector allows engineering and product management teams leveraging Coveo Enterprise Search to securely search and consolidate information from PTC Windchill. This includes indexing content such as libraries, organizations, products, parts, documents and CAD documents.
• The Coveo Dropbox Connector allows users to retrieve folder and file information from Dropbox accounts, including Dropbox folders, files and revisions. The Connector supports incremental refresh to periodically query Dropbox for the latest updates, and keep indexed content up-to-date.
• The Coveo RSS Connector allows users to bring RSS feed content into the Coveo unified index to make it easily searchable by end users. This includes retrieving and indexing RSS feeds, channels and items, and supports automatic refresh to maintain up-to-date information for new, changed or deleted RSS feed items. This allows organizations that rely on RSS feeds for timely content, such as financial services firms for market analysis and news, to make better and more accurate decisions.
• The Coveo YouTube Connector brings video content often used in training programs directly into the context of employees at the moment of need. With video as part of the unified index companies can serve the real-time needs of employees to gain new skills in the flow of work rather than asking employees to view video content for potential future use.

Coveo has also made a number of enhancements to its SharePoint and Atlassian JIRA Connectors. The new version of the Coveo SharePoint Connector improves Coveo’s ability to unify information from SharePoint environments operating within large-scale data centers. Coveo Enterprise Search Platform now allows users to index information from one or multiple SharePoint farms into the unified index to provide end users with easy access to content.

Perforce and Interset deliver industry’s first intellectual property threat detection integrated with source code and content management

Perforce Software and Interset today announced Perforce Helix Threat Detection, a security solution for the Perforce Helix source code management (SCM) and content collaboration platform. The jointly developed solution quickly and accurately identifies internal and external security risks related to intellectual property managed in Perforce Helix.

Helix Threat Detection uses sophisticated behavioral analytics patented by Interset to monitor interactions with source code, product designs and related assets managed in Perforce Helix. Interactions receive a risk score, generating alerts that indicate high-risk activities, users, machines, projects, and data.

“Source code, product design and similar intellectual property are a company’s most valuable assets,” said Perforce founder and CEO Christopher Seiwald. “Government research estimates that more than $300 billion is lost annually to theft of these assets in the U.S. alone, a loss that can be dramatically reduced by the protection provided by Helix Threat Detection.”

Early customers have demonstrated the ROI of Perforce Helix Threat Detection. Examples include detection of attempts to steal source code by employees in the process of leaving a company; detection of contractors attempting to access unauthorized projects and data; and detection of external agents using compromised accounts to access internal files.

“A longtime gap in the security market has been the lack of understanding of threats across critical IP repositories,” said Interset CEO and President Dale Quayle.  “Most companies, even those with mature SIEM deployments, have little to no visibility into what risks exist in these critical data stores. Through our work with Perforce, we have delivered an important new approach to threat detection that uses data science to analyze the millions of events captured in Perforce logs and surface the high-risk events that define insider theft and targeted attacks.”

Helix Threat Detection eliminates reliance on rules-based thresholds and simplifies configuration and deployment. A plain-language user interface enables IT, engineering and security teams to quickly understand their greatest IP risks and why, all with minimal training.

Helix Threat Detection is sold and supported by Perforce and is available immediately as part of Helix Enterprise.
