Blackboard Acquires Sequoia Retail Systems

Acquisition provides students with greater retail convenience on and off campus

PR Newswire

WASHINGTON, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackboard Inc., the world's leading education technology company, today announced the acquisition of Sequoia Retail Systems (Sequoia), a leader in comprehensive point-of-sale (POS) solutions exclusively focused on educational institutions and the students they serve. The acquisition strengthens the Blackboard Transact suite of campus solutions for institutions, while simultaneously enhancing the student experience both on and off campus.

Sequoia provides hundreds of colleges and universities with POS, retail bookstore and inventory management solutions that enable students to make purchases quickly and easily while reducing administrative complexity. The company's integrated, multichannel delivery gives students the power to use their campus ID credentials (card/mobile) to purchase when and where it is most convenient—online, on a mobile device or at a register.

Blackboard Transact is the leader in providing campus transaction, security and financial solutions through a fully integrated technology platform that creates a holistic experience for students to navigate and engage in life on and off campus. This acquisition builds on Blackboard and Sequoia's decade-long partnership in serving the campus community.

"We've continued to be impressed over the years with Sequoia's innovation and single dedication to the education community," said David Marr, SVP of Blackboard Transact. "Given the parallel paths of our long-term partnership, commitment to the campus community and the students we serve, it just made sense to put our support behind them to further accelerate innovation and service levels."

Blackboard Transact is committed to providing educational institutions with a choice of multiple integrated technologies, creating a vibrant ecosystem to support their varied and growing needs. The acquisition will not impact the company's commitment to its valued POS partners, including Micros, NCR and Vivonet. 

Sequoia remains dedicated to the independent college bookstore, and Blackboard's resources empower it to continue exceeding institutions' expectations in a rapidly evolving educational technology landscape.

"Blackboard and Sequoia were born and raised in the higher education space," said Jim Zaorski, CEO of Sequoia Retail Systems. "Combining Blackboard's resources, unparalleled products, and customer commitment with our success and experience in point of sale and educational content distribution is an exciting and perfect combination in our service to the education community."

Liaison Technologies Introduces Cloud-based Integration and Data Management Approach for Healthcare and Life Sciences in EU

Liaison ALLOY Health™ Platform Unifies Data from Multiple Sources to Deliver on Promise of Value-based Care & Drive Research Efficiency

PR Newswire

ATLANTA, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Liaison Technologies, an industry-recognized leader in cloud-based integration and data management offerings, today announced plans to launch its ALLOY Health™ Platform in Europe, bringing the first Data Platform as a Service (dPaaS) solution to the European healthcare and life sciences market.

Offering an entirely new approach to data integration and management, ALLOY Health has already seen substantial adoption among cutting-edge healthcare and life sciences organizations in North America by providing the most efficient, scalable, and secure solution for integrating and harmonizing data from multiple sources.  Now, ALLOY Health is coming to Europe, making it possible for care providers, researchers and pharma organizations to securely access and share up-to-date health records and consumer-generated health data for EU citizens across care networks to improve the quality and timeliness of care and to drive efficiency of research and drug development.

With the digitization of healthcare data—from electronic health records (EHRs) to personal health and fitness monitoring devices—along with the need for reliable and accurate harmonization of disparate data sources across the care continuum for patient tracking and analysis, healthcare and research organizations are clamoring for capable and efficient methods to integrate and manage data to meet the new demands of the modern healthcare paradigm. As pressure mounts to deliver better, more cost-effective value-based care faster, organizations need a data solution that supports the diverse requirements of hospitals, labs, practices, research facilities, and public entities, while enabling them to comply with EU data privacy and other local regulations.

"The European healthcare sector is in transition, and we recognize the growing demand for the sort of approach ALLOY represents," said Liaison CEO Bob Renner. "Data is the critical factor in creating tomorrow's value-based healthcare, and we want to be the technology partner that enables this future together with our customers."

Data across the European healthcare sector is currently dispersed across various legacy systems, creating silos that lead to inefficient care, slowing time to market for new treatments and jeopardizing patient safety. With its data-centric dPaaS approach, ALLOY unifies integration and data management, creating a single, comprehensive, accurate and reliable cloud-based data repository, allowing organizations to tap into and share data across networks and use it in contexts that are meaningful to them.

For example, organizations can create registries around specific patient populations, conduct detailed analysis of treatment protocols or disease management, or manage clinical trials or patient care transitions across provider networks with virtually any application. ALLOY's application agnostic, microservices architecture ensures the fast and seamless addition of new data sources and new applications, allowing providers and researchers to focus on their own domain expertise rather than data janitorial duties.

"Europe's innovative adoption of EHR and development of gene banks and biobanks, particularly in Scandinavia, represents a vast opportunity to use data to improve treatment quality and patient outcomes through personalized medicine and optimal treatment timing," Renner said. "ALLOY Health is the first platform of its kind to enable these new data-driven healthcare initiatives with the infinite scale, resiliency, robust security and compliance that our customers need to succeed in the data-driven future."

Indicative of the demand and market interest for improved healthcare data solutions, Renner has been asked to share his expertise on the dPaaS data-centric approach to Big Data integration and management at two major regional events.

At Upgraded Life Festival in Helsinki, on Tuesday, May 31, Renner will present "Set Healthcare and Life Sciences Data Free with a Data-Centric IT Approach," addressing the potential for unlocking personalized medicine, faster time to market for pharmaceuticals and improving patient outcomes through a data-centric approach to Big Data and IoT.

On Wednesday, June 1, Renner will take the stage at Nordic Health Investment Day in Helsinki to introduce the Liaison and ALLOY story, providing insight into the current and potential growth of the data management sector of the healthcare and life sciences industry.

TURN Wins David V Goliath Victory Against AT&T, Keeps Customers Connected

PR Newswire

SACRAMENTO, California, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Millions of Californians who depend on copper landlines for reliable phone and Internet connections and superior 911 capabilities can breath a sigh of relief today. AT&T sponsored AB 2395 (Low) has been defeated for the time being and held in suspense by the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

The bill would have stripped away the few remaining consumer protections California's landline customers have, including the requirement to provide service in remote rural areas. The Communications Workers of America (CWA) joined TURN in spearheading opposition to AB 2395 due to urgent concerns about consumers being left without dependable service, especially in emergency situations.

"AT&T often gets its way in Sacramento, where it is one of the top spenders on lobbying and political donations," said TURN executive director Mark Toney. "This time, the public outcry was so loud it could not be ignored." Toney said thousands of TURN members had contacted their representatives to urge rejection of the bill. In addition, rural counties, consumer groups, seniors, emergency personnel and workers had all been united in opposition.

"Customers still want the choice of copper, and for now they'll be able to keep that," said Toney. "If AT&T wants to take copper away, it should invest in improving the reliability of alternative services, rather than in lobbying to eliminate consumer protections."
