RANDOR, Pa., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — KnowFully Learning Group («KnowFully» or the «Company»), a leading provider of end-to-end professional education courses in the accounting, finance, and healthcare sectors, today announced the launch of KnowFully Healthcare Education–the new home for KnowFully’s family of healthcare education brands–as well as the debut of a new test prep course, NAPLEX Review by KnowFully.

RANDOR, Pa., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — KnowFully Learning Group («KnowFully» or the «Company»), a leading provider of end-to-end professional education courses in the accounting, finance, and healthcare sectors, today announced the launch of KnowFully Healthcare Education–the new home for KnowFully’s family of healthcare education brands–as well as the debut of a new test prep course, NAPLEX Review by KnowFully. These launches continue KnowFully Learning Group’s growth across the accounting, finance, and healthcare industries and is expected to bring both significant value and unparalleled technological innovation to the NAPLEX test prep sector.

While the name is new, KnowFully Healthcare Education’s family of brands are long-time leaders in the healthcare professional education space, including CME Outfitters, a leading provider of accredited continuing medical education focused on outcomes-based education for medical professionals, freeCE, a top provider of online CE for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and nurses;; and American Health Resources, organizer of the top-rated Northeast Hematology and Oncology Pharmacy Symposium (NEHOPS). KnowFully Learning Group is backed by NexPhase Capital, a thematic and operationally-focused private equity firm.

The launch of NAPLEX Review by KnowFully marks the Company’s first venture into exam review within the healthcare vertical. Its course offering will leverage KnowFully’s proprietary adaptive learning software, A.S.A.P. Technology™, which powers the Company’s lines of industry-leading accounting and finance exam prep courses. This award-winning, AI-powered technology fully customizes the learning experience for each learner, generating study plans that address those areas where they show weaker comprehension, ultimately getting learners «exam-ready» with far fewer hours of study.

A.S.A.P. Technology features several breakthrough and award-winning features that improve study efficiency, including ReadySCORE™ and MyMCQ™. ReadySCORE uses a sophisticated algorithm and actual exam scoring rules to estimate what an individual student would score on the real exam if they were to take it that day, while also identifying a student’s specific knowledge gaps. Each candidate’s ReadySCORE continually updates based on their study progress and knowledge, providing a highly accurate indicator of true exam readiness. MyMCQ™, another KnowFully innovation, uses machine learning to deliver multiple choice questions (MCQs) that are calibrated to just the right difficulty level for each student’s area of comprehension in any particular topic, avoiding MCQs that are too easy to learn from, while challenging each student with study questions tailored to help them learn more in less time.

The NAPLEX Review by KnowFully offering includes the fully-adaptive Essentials Pass, comprised of 1,500 multiple-choice questions, mobile-friendly software, and a pass guarantee, as well as a non-adaptive QBank, which will allow students the option to study MCQs independently using KnowFully’s collection of study content.

«At KnowFully, we’re committed to providing the best education possible for healthcare professionals at all stages of their careers, and we recognize that a large part of that lies with the candidates preparing to enter this industry,» said Eric Cantor, CEO of Knowfully Learning Group. «That’s why we’re thrilled to bring to market a course and learning platform that’s unparalleled in this field. Not only will our course help students pass the NAPLEX Exam quicker and more conveniently, but it will enable them to sit for the exam with complete confidence that they’re ready.»

A.S.A.P. Technology™ has driven outcomes that have rocketed KnowFully’s accounting and finance exam prep courses (sold under the Surgent brand) to critical and commercial success. Surgent’s CPA Exam candidates, for example, have reduced their study time by as much as 80%, while achieving pass rates nearly 40 points higher than the national average of just 50%. As a result, experts have recognized Surgent’s innovative approach to learning, with acclaim ranging from the Business Intelligence Group’s BIG Innovation Award in 2020, to the American Business Award’s Technical Innovation of the Year (Silver Stevie Award, 2019).

Retail Marketers Find New Ways to Meet Goals With Sidecar Amid COVID-19

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Retail marketers are renewing their focus on digital commerce advertising and deepening their partnerships with Sidecar as COVID-19 rewrites the retail landscape.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Retail marketers are renewing their focus on digital commerce advertising and deepening their partnerships with Sidecar as COVID-19 rewrites the retail landscape.

«The trends we’ve seen year to date demonstrate our unwavering commitment to our customers’ performance marketing needs and challenges,» explained Andre Golsorkhi, founder and CEO of Sidecar. «Despite the disruption that COVID-19 is bringing to the retail industry, e-commerce is accelerating, with retail marketers increasingly looking to Sidecar’s team and technology to help them operate with greater agility.»

These trends are picking up pace just as marketers face a tough challenge ahead with the convergence of Prime Day 2020, and the back-to-school and holiday shopping seasons.

The following are key trends in Sidecar’s customer base this year. Sidecar will cover related industry changes and what they mean for retail marketers in a live webinar today at 2 p.m. ET, «How to Harness E-Commerce Momentum When Retail Seasons Converge.»  (The recording will be available at the same link.)

Customer Adoption

Notably, 70% of new customers this year signed on to leverage two or more Sidecar technology solutions. Retailers are increasingly focused on creating stronger alignment between their ad channels to address the full customer journey across Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

Many of these new customers hail from the enterprise sector of retail. Sidecar grew digital ad spend under management by nearly 30% for this segment, and nearly 40% across the entire portfolio, in the first half of 2020 alone.

The digital transformation of the enterprise retail sector has been underway for years, but the current situation has further compounded this shift. Marketing departments have a renewed focus on assessing their digital maturity and determining go-forward steps to meet shopper needs in the accelerated digital economy.

Customer Performance Trends Reveal Significant Momentum

The end of the first half marked an inflection point in ad spend, according to customer research conducted by Sidecar. Retailers spent 15% more on Google Ads in June YoY—a stark contrast to April (-11% YoY) and May (-9% YoY) spend. For Amazon Advertising, June spend was 91% more than April spend, while Facebook advertising spend in June was up 4x over April.

Revenue growth remains a priority for Sidecar customers. They found ways to navigate the shifting environment at the outset of COVID-19, and are building off those strategic changes in the new normal landscape.

  • Google Shopping: April revenue was up 15% MoM. Overall Q2 revenue grew 15% over Q1, while ROAS improved by 6%. From a year-over-year standpoint, April and May revenue grew 10% and 12% YoY respectively, while June revenue increased 27% YoY. ROAS improved 4% YoY in June.
  • Google paid search: April revenue was up nearly 5x MoM. Overall Q2 revenue increased 54% QoQ, with ROAS improving 78% QoQ.
  • Amazon Advertising: April revenue was up 24% MoM. Overall Q2 revenue was up 85% QoQ.
  • Facebook advertising: April revenue was up 111% MoM. Overall Q2 revenue was 4.3x higher than Q1 revenue.

Strategies for driving cost efficiency are sticking. This trend is especially playing out in Google paid search, where Sidecar customers saw ROAS improve 98% and revenue increase 55% in Q2 YoY. Retail marketers are driving efficiency in Google Shopping as well, with Sidecar customers improving ROAS by 11% and growing revenue by 16% in Q2 YoY. 

Product Expansion

Sidecar further innovated its product lineup during the first half of 2020 by launching enhancements to Sidecar for Amazon and Sidecar for Facebook & Instagram. Additionally, use cases are growing for Sidecar for Shopping and Sidecar for Paid Search, particularly in driving stronger cross-channel strategy. For instance, one Sidecar customer is leveraging Sidecar’s technology to create a two-way reliance between its ads on Google and Facebook. Facebook ads target users who have clicked through a Google ad. Additionally, Google Shopping ads target audiences built from Facebook prospecting campaigns.

Industry Recognition

Business Intelligence Group this week named Sidecar «Organization of the Year» in the 2020 Sales and Marketing Technology Awards program, also known as The Sammys. The award honors organizations and products helping to solve the challenges organizations have connecting and collaborating with prospects and customers. 2020 marks the second consecutive year Sidecar has won the award.

Sidecar was also recognized by Ventana Research, a business technology research and advisory services firm, as a finalist in the 13th annual Digital Innovation Awards. The awards program identified top technologies that have the most impact in their respective markets, honoring pioneering vendors that drive change and increase value for organizations worldwide.

Looking ahead, the retail industry is facing a holiday season that will be more dependent on e-commerce. «It will be key for retailers to leverage proven channels and best practices to match ongoing changes in consumer demand,» said Golsorkhi. «One of those key best practices is understanding audiences. Shoppers who are unable to visit stores will seek similar services online, potentially creating new cohorts that retailers must recognize and engage.»

ABOUT SIDECAR

Sidecar offers performance marketing excellence to retailers and brands. Sidecar’s advanced technology and proprietary data, combined with years of performance marketing expertise, help its customers unlock the full potential of today’s most powerful search, shopping, social, and marketplace channels.

Innovative SOO Green Project To Launch Open Solicitation Process

MINNEAPOLIS, August 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, SOO Green HVDC Link ProjectCo, LLC (SOO Green) announced the launch of an innovative Open Solicitation process to allocate transmission capacity rights on a first-of-its-kind project co-locating electric transmission line underground within an existing railroad corridor.

MINNEAPOLIS, August 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, SOO Green HVDC Link ProjectCo, LLC (SOO Green) announced the launch of an innovative Open Solicitation process to allocate transmission capacity rights on a first-of-its-kind project co-locating electric transmission line underground within an existing railroad corridor. The 2,100 MW, high voltage direct current transmission line will link energy markets in the Midwest and Eastern United States, relieve Midwestern transmission constraints, and provide buyers direct access to a diverse portfolio of Midwestern generation.

SOO Green’s project route will run 350 miles from Mason City, IA to Plano, IL, and will follow an existing railroad corridor, greatly reducing environmental, viewshed and landowner impacts. The $2.5 billion interregional «backbone» transmission project will be operational in late 2024.

While SOO Green transmission capacity rights will be made available without preference to shippers across all asset classes, the project is especially well-suited for renewable generators in MISO in need of transmission paths to market, and for renewable energy buyers in PJM seeking direct access to large-scale, diverse and affordable renewable energy.

Parties interested in obtaining transmission capacity rights (shippers), generators interested in selling (suppliers) and customers interested in buying energy products transmitted by the SOO Green project (buyers), can register on SOO Green’s Open Solicitation website at www.soogreenhvdclink-os.com. London Economics International (LEI) will act as Independent Evaluator to administer the Open Solicitation process on behalf of SOO Green. The Open Solicitation process would involve three phases. First, Anchor Shippers will be able to obtain capacity rights at a published «reserve price.» Then, Phase 2 would allow for a voluntary «matching» process, where the Independent Evaluator will match interested shippers with suppliers and buyers, with aligned commercial interests, and give the matched parties an opportunity to negotiate any desired commercial arrangements to support the acquisition of capacity rights in the Phase 3 auction.

The SOO Green project is financially backed by Jingoli Power, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Siemens Energy, and has a strategic partnership with Canadian Pacific.

To obtain a detailed notice of Open Solicitation process please click here or visit SOO Green’s dedicated Open Solicitation website at www.soogreenhvdclink-os.com. For additional information about SOO Green, please visit the project website at www.soogreenrr.com.

Direct Connect Development Co, LLC is developing the SOO Green project and other innovative rail co-located transmission projects across the United States. The Direct Connect team possesses over 150 years of collective experience in the electric power, renewable energy, and transmission sectors.

Jackson Healthcare’s LoveLifts Village Adds Three New Non-Profit Organizations to Growing List of Tenants

ATLANTA, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Jackson Healthcare®, a family of highly specialized healthcare staffing, search and technology companies, today announced that three non-profit organizations—Mission: Hope, SLIMS AFRICA and Lighthouse Family Retreat—have…

ATLANTA, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Jackson Healthcare®, a family of highly specialized healthcare staffing, search and technology companies, today announced that three non-profit organizations—Mission: Hope, SLIMS AFRICA and Lighthouse Family Retreat—have become tenants in LoveLifts Village. These three organizations join several others, including Birds on a Wire and Giving Company, in the LoveLifts Village community located on Jackson Healthcare’s corporate campus in Alpharetta, Georgia.   

LoveLifts Village, which was launched in 2019, is designed to provide co-working and dedicated office space with flexible, affordable lease terms for local non-profit organizations. In this environment, they can advance their missions of serving others in a space that fosters collaboration and community with like-minded organizations. Non-profits based in LoveLifts Village are part of Jackson Healthcare’s secure campus and have access to its state-of-the art amenities.

«As we continue to expand our community in LoveLifts Village, we are excited for what the future holds,» said Shane Jackson, president of Jackson Healthcare. «We’re delighted to welcome Mission: Hope, SLIMS AFRICA and Lighthouse Family Retreat, and look forward to growing as a hub where non-profit organizations can collaborate with and work alongside each other in their shared commitment to serving others, which is especially important during these challenging times.»

Mission: Hope, founded by Ben Mathes and led by President and CEO Elisa Goodwin, works with local leaders and churches to bring sustainable change to poor communities in remote, unreached areas in parts of the world like Indonesia, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. It spends time evaluating the most urgent needs of the communities it serves; creates a comprehensive strategy for sustainable change based on those needs; and implements and monitors the strategy to ensure long-term success. «There are so many positives to working in LoveLifts Village,» explained Goodwin. «We love the campus and amenities. They are beyond anything we had hoped for. The location is ideal and secure. Everything about the environment is wonderful, but the biggest blessing are the people. We have been showered with love and support by everyone at Jackson Healthcare. It goes above and beyond to support us and our mission, and really cares about the people it works with. It inspires me to be a more beautiful reflection of Christ’s love.»

SLIMS AFRICA, led by Richard Wernick, is an organization committed to ending the cycle of poverty in Sierra Leone, which is among the poorest countries in the world. Short for Sierra Leone International Mission School, SLIMS AFRICA has worked in Sierra Leone for 27 years, building and operating five educational campuses, four churches and a healthcare clinic. The educational campuses provide schooling for more than 6,000 children, while the clinic safely delivers one baby per day. «LoveLifts Village is a convenient, enjoyable environment that allows for productive camaraderie with other non-profit groups,» noted Wernick. «The environment is affordable and offers amenities that are not typical at most offices – access to conference rooms, and workout and dining facilities. I would highly recommend LoveLifts Village to other organizations looking for office space.»

Lighthouse Family Retreat, led by Executive Director Chris Woodruff, is a faith-based non-profit that strengthens families living through childhood cancer by providing restorative retreats and helpful resources. For more than 20 years, the organization has offered week-long respites for families living through childhood cancer. These families experience a week of rest, relational connection, laughter and kindness on a retreat that is staffed by a team of volunteers, called family partners. «The campus at Jackson Healthcare provides such a unique opportunity for us,» said Woodruff. «We’re a small non-profit and on our own, we would never have the ability to find space in such a great location, on a gated campus, with so many great amenities. We truly feel blessed to be at LoveLifts Village.»

LoveLifts Village is an extension of Jackson Healthcare’s LoveLifts community impact platform, which is built on four pillars: people, programming, partnership and philanthropy. This unique environment serves as a multiplier to support the efforts and good works of the not-for-profit world.

Rugged Workstations by Trenton Systems Excel at Powering Automated Testing Equipment (ATE) for Defense Community

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Trenton Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of rugged servers,

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Trenton Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of rugged servers, workstations, blade servers, storage systems, mini PCs, processor boards and PCIe backplanes, excels at designing rugged workstations for automated testing equipment (ATE) used by major defense and prime contractors across the nation.

Trenton Systems’ made-in-USA rugged workstations are a tried-and-true choice for ATE systems and ATE software. These hardened, high-performance workstations, available in 1U, 2U, 4U and 5U configurations, and sporting up to 18 PCIe slots, power ATE systems for industries and applications that utilize a variety of different test instruments daily, including those assessing the effectiveness of military weapons systems, communications systems, radar systems, electronic warfare systems and more.

«Our products are being used in support of a high mix of aerospace products, ranging from computer-controlled fuel sensing systems, electronic braking systems, actuation/controller missile systems and HUMS,» says Sean Campbell, Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Business Development at Trenton Systems. «Major prime contractors rely on Trenton’s hardware to support development of electrical, mechanical and software specifications to test end items. These designs must be traceable to their end customers and system specifications, thus making our hardware essential in support of the manufacturing/operations group to help ensure on-time delivery of products. We become an essential part of their ecosystem in the delivery of finished products, ensuring our products will perform as specified to meet customer and system requirements.»

Automated test and measurement systems are an essential part of assessing the reliability and functionality of electronic components, devices and systems. Not only can they diagnose faults and verify that certain electronic components are working properly, they can also cut manufacturing costs significantly by reducing test time.

Equipped with 7th Gen Intel Core i3, i5, i7 or Intel Xeon E3 V6 processors, up to 64GB of DDR4-2400 dual-channel memory across four ECC DIMMs and supporting front-access or internal 6 GB/s SATA drives and up to four optional M.2 drives and 18 PCIe slots, Trenton Systems’ made-in-USA rugged workstations have the computational power, speedy storage options and slots necessary to power your ATE system for years to come.

«One of our most popular board and backplane combos for ATE is a Trenton Systems TKL8255 processor board with a PICMG 1.3 backplane,» says Jeremy Lee, Strategic Account Manager at Trenton Systems. «The two most popular backplanes recently have been the BPG8155 and BPG6615. Our PCIe expansion chassis are also popular, as they allow our customers to use more I/O cards, a feature that isn’t an option with just one rack mount system. A recent customer chose Trenton Systems because of the PCIe Gen 3 slots that we were able to offer them, not to mention that they value BIOS-controlled, made-in-USA rugged computer systems backed by an incredibly helpful in-house support team for years to come.»

Trenton Systems is currently developing a rugged server that will revolutionize ATE. Stress-tested to military and industrial standards, made in the USA and equipped with next-gen dual Intel Xeon SP CPUs, 11 PCIe Gen 4 slots and 24 next-gen ECC RDIMM slots, the 3U BAM Server is the industry’s next ATE powerhouse.

Join Trenton Systems’ BAM VIP List to enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the BAM’s development, never-before-released BAM photos, first dibs on pre-release purchasing, access to our support team and more.

Along with a powerful system, choosing Trenton Systems comes with a host of other perks, including:

  • A system that’s designed, manufactured, assembled, integrated and supported in the USA from the board up
  • In-house stress testing for MIL-STD-810 and DO-160
