Flash Transforms Parking at Denver International Airport

Flash

Flash, the leading end-to-end parking technology platform, announced today it has completed an overhaul of public and employee parking at Denver International Airport (DEN) through a contract the City and County of Denver awarded in August 2024. In just 22 days, Flash deployed its platform across the airport’s nine public and employee parking garages and lots, bringing a state-of-the-art parking experience to DEN’s 40,000 employees and the 77.8 million passengers they serve annually. "Flash’s commitment to DEN has been tremendous and we look forward to a bright future that provides innovative solutions to improve the customer experience," said Mark Nagel, Senior Vice President of Parking and Commercial Transportation, Denver International Airport. In its first few weeks of deployment, DEN reports improved traffic flow and reduced wait times for vehicles entering and exiting the airport’s parking facilities. DEN’s deployment of Flash’s platform spans 144 lanes and features 137 kiosks, 97 license plate recognition (LPR) lanes, and 49 automatic vehicle identification (AVI) lanes. With the new AVI lanes, employees can enter and exit automatically in seconds via vehicle-mounted passes that require no interaction with their phones or kiosks. “DEN is the sixth busiest airport in the world and sees millions of parking transactions each year, requiring the highest service level,” said Flash CEO Dan Sharplin. “Our technology breadth and industry-leading scale, plus our maniacal focus on the driver experience, made us confident we could support DEN’s traffic volumes and service levels while getting passengers and employees through parking transactions quickly, and it’s hugely gratifying to see it live.” DEN also benefits from the Flash platform’s design as an enhanced cloud-based parking solution. In the event of an internet, payment processor, network or cloud disruption, the platform maintains continuous operations and critical payment processing capabilities so the airport’s parking facilities stay up and running. About Flash Flash is a pioneering technology company bringing seamless parking and EV charging experiences to drivers through a first-of-its-kind digital ecosystem. Flash’s platform connects reservable parking and charging in the apps drivers use every day with garage, surface lot, event, and valet parking locations—connected and controlled via a cloud-based operating system with unrivaled intelligence.

AI Software Company Amesite Posts Its Largest Win In Community College Deal And Makes Natural Pivot To On-The-Job AI Support For Healthcare

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Education is getting an overhaul thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and companies like Amesite (NASDAQ: AMST). The Detroit-based AI software company develops products and platforms to improve online learning. Leveraging GPT-4, the AI system powering Bing and ChatGPT Plus, Amesite says that online courses can be added quickly, programs are adaptable and users stay engaged. That approach to learning is getting attention from educators, particularly with community colleges around the country. Maricopa Corporate College (MCOR) is part of the Maricopa Community College District (MCCCD), Arizona’s largest workforce developer. MCOR recently signed an agreement with Amesite. Expanding Its College Reach Amesite just inked a multiyear deal to provide programs through MCOR, to provide AI-based online training and development. With roughly 140,000 students, MCCCD is Arizona’s largest workforce developer, playing a central role in charting the future of the Greater Phoenix region. The school system produces the second-largest number of college graduates in Arizona and creates one out of every 28 jobs in Maricopa County, adding $7.9 billion to the economy. This exclusive agreement marks the biggest customer yet for the AI software company. It's exactly the type of enterprise Amesite is targeting. With a focus on community colleges, the company now counts seven institutions as customers offering students and faculty the Amesite LCE platform. Installations span the United States, with colleges in Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia and now, Arizona. Collectively, colleges that have chosen Amesite train over 200,000 learners each year, reports the company. "Our AI-powered solution enables professional learners to get information – and support – in real-time,” said Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, CEO of Amesite, in a press release announcing the deal with Maricopa. “We have long believed that AI-assisted professional training would replace traditional training and are pleased to see our solutions gaining acceptance, now with larger colleges. We are especially pleased to be the first to provide the right tools in this market." In Amesite’s vision for education and upskilling, learners aren’t taught in isolated silos but rather are part of a larger learning community. V6, the latest version of its learning platform, is the fruition of that AI-driven vision. It offers capabilities such as learning and creative assistants, and supports educational games, interactive learning experiences and other learning incentives to keep students engaged. V6 can integrate thousands of application programming interfaces (API), which means it works with most companies’ and schools’ programs. Setting Its Sights On Larger Markets But educating the workforce of tomorrow through community colleges isn’t the only thing Amesite is doing with its advanced AI. The company’s infrastructure and capabilities in AI programming can be easily deployed to provide on-the-job apps for different industries, including healthcare – specifically, the 5.2 million nurses in the U.S. who could benefit from some AI technology. In the spring, Amesite launched NurseMagic™, a proprietary AI app designed for nurses. With it, nurses can write nursing notes instantly, quickly translate medical terms into easy-to-understand language, create work emails, assist nurses in talking to patients with compassion, coach nurses on taking effective breaks during the day, provide key information about medications and collect instant feedback. It makes sense that Amesite would want to set its sights on nurses. Despite the over five million of them in the workforce, America is facing a shortage that’s projected to grow, not to mention the high burnout rate for this profession. Introducing technology that makes their lives easier not only improves their careers but saves hospitals and healthcare systems money. After all, burnout can cost a hospital $16,736 per nurse per year through retention challenges, sick days and training new replacement nurses. “Launching apps enables us to directly reach much larger audiences. We want to equip every nurse on the planet with tools that deliver immediate, qualified information and address the demands on their time while leveraging their expertise,” said Sastry at the time. A Continued Focus On Innovation Not one to rest on its laurels, since rolling out NurseMagic, Amesite has been adding to the app’s capabilities, working hard to ensure it maintains its competitive lead and becomes the leading app for nurses. Some of those enhancements include the ability to build and update a resume, write cover letters for job applications, create text that improves a nurse’s social profile on LinkedIn and other sites and create replies to employers that highlight the applicant’s strengths. With those enhancements, Amesite says it’s helping the 35% of nurses who indicate they may look for a new job in the next year. The app is also capable of creating nursing notes, a requirement for professionals ranging from CNAs and LPNs to APRN-CNPs and NPs which Amesite says takes up 40% of nurses’ time. The company also recently added the ability to upload and store study materials – including pdfs and video and audio files – to instantly create transcripts, summaries and even quizzes and flashcards, based on the material. Proof Is In The Accuracy All these enhancements to NurseMagic are only as good as the AI behind it and Amesite has that covered as well. The company reports the foundational model that powers NurseMagic achieved a 93% accuracy rate when tested with questions from two leading NCLEX prep providers’ test banks. The NCLEX exam is a standardized exam developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) that nursing graduates must pass to obtain their nursing licenses in the United States and Canada. Accuracy is essential for the growing number of nurses using the app. In June, the app was released in beta. Within a week of the release, close to 1,200 individuals completed an onboarding survey and registered as users of NurseMagic. Since then, usage has continued to gain momentum. At last check, NurseMagic has users from all 50 U.S. states and six nations. User growth continued to expand rapidly after launch, up 830% month-over-month from June to July. It also has the support of some popular influencers in the nursing community, including Paige Slayton, a nurse influencer engaged by Amesite, with over 900,000 followers. "This is the fastest growth in usership that we have ever seen with any of our products,” said Sastry. “We are excited to be delivering a vital and useful tool to the largest segment of healthcare professionals and believe that NurseMagic TM will create a positive impact in healthcare and strong, sustainable revenue growth for Amesite." From education to healthcare, Amesite's AI-powered learning platform is empowering countless people and making professionals’ lives much easier. With a model that can be replicated for different industries and markets, Amesite is carving out its path to stand out in the AI-powered learning of tomorrow.

What If Your Most Profitable Strategy Also Made the World a Better Place?

Fordham Gabelli

As the world grapples with complex challenges such as climate change, poverty, and human rights issues, organizations are uniquely positioned to drive positive change. A new study titled “Social Profit Orientation: Lessons from Organizations Committed to Building a Better World,” recently published in the Journal of Marketing, explores how companies can simultaneously generate profit and foster societal well-being. The research, conducted by a team of esteemed academics, including Leonard L. Berry (Texas A&M), Tracey S. Danaher (Monash University), Timothy Keiningham (St. John's University), Lerzan Aksoy (Fordham University), and Tor W. Andreassen (Norwegian School of Economics), examines the benefits of adopting a social profit orientation to benefit both the organization and society. This approach encourages organizations to invest resources purposefully to enhance the common good. The study, based on 62 in-depth executive interviews across 21 organizations worldwide, reveals the significant benefits of embracing a social profit orientation. These organizations develop new approaches and strategies that address critical problems, thereby driving business innovation and improving societal outcomes. What is Social Profit Orientation? Social Profit Orientation is an organization-wide perspective where organizations embrace in their core mission the creation of sustainable, positive social and environmental impacts on individuals, communities, and society at large. Organizations with this orientation proactively invest resources such as knowledge, infrastructure, labor, reputation, money, and time to enhance the common good, especially improving the well-being of people and safeguarding the health of the planet. It reflects a deliberate, conscious effort to address systemic social or environmental challenges, rather than being merely a by-product of making financial profits. Examples from the Study Oportun tackles financial exclusion by providing affordable credit to underserved communities, offering an alternative to payday lenders. With significant investments in technology, Oportun has successfully issued millions of loans, enabling its customers to avoid exorbitant interest rates and fees. CEO Raul Vazquez highlights their challenge: “50% of customers who come to us have no FICO [credit] score, and other folks we serve may have a score based on limited history.” Despite these obstacles, Oportun has managed to provide more than $18.2 billion in credit by year-end 2023, saving its customers $2.4 billion in interest and fees. Gundersen Health System (renamed Emplify Health) exemplifies how a holistic approach to sustainability can be woven into the fabric of an organization. Under the leadership of Dr. Jeff Thompson, Gundersen became the first U.S. health system to offset 100% of its fossil-fuel use with self-produced energy. Their initiatives include harnessing solar and wind power and transforming landfill biogas into electricity and heat. Dr. Thompson remarks, “We are not just a ‘fix-it’ shop. Our mindset was: how do we protect the environment so it is a part of how we work, how we live, and how we work with our communities.” By adopting a social profit orientation, organizations not only drive meaningful societal impact but also experience enhanced legitimacy, stronger stakeholder relationships, improved employee engagement, and increased innovation. These benefits contribute to long-term business success and sustainability. Best Practices for Building a Social Profit Orientation Align employee and organizational values to create a unified mission. Ensure organizational resources and governance structures maximize societal benefits. Inspire executive and board leadership to deeply commit to social profit goals. Make informed investment decisions that focus on initiatives with the greatest social impact. Measure and evaluate social impact rigorously to ensure meaningful contributions. Foster external partnerships and communicate purpose through compelling storytelling. “Organizations today are at a crossroads where they can choose to be mere profit-generating entities or become catalysts for global change. Our study shows that the most profitable strategy might also be the one that makes the world a better place. By embracing a social profit orientation, organizations can lead their sectors, drive innovation, and make significant societal impacts,” said Lerzan Aksoy, Dean at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business.

About Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business Founded in 1920, the mission of Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business is to inspire and empower positive global change, developing students into compassionate business leaders and supporting faculty members and students in the ongoing generation of new knowledge.
