Aspen Tech Labs Launches Wage Benchmarking Tool to Enhance Business Intelligence and Salary Research Efforts

Aspen Technology Labs

Aspen Tech Labs, a global leader in recruitment technology solutions, announced that it has launched the Wage Benchmarking Tool as a part of its existing Job Market Pulse product. This new tool enables employers and researchers to compare real-time salary data pulled from the nine-million-plus real-time active job listings – as well as the historical database – that Aspen Tech Labs maintains. Some of these jobs can be found on Aspen Tech Labs’ job board - Job Market Today. Despite recent waves of salary transparency legislation, most employers, compliance bodies, and independent researchers lack the data they need to accurately report on salary. This unclear wage reporting contributes to issues of pay inequality and understaffing – hurting businesses’ ability to attract and retain workers as well as workers’ ability to find high-quality jobs that fit along their career path. “The business intelligence landscape is saturated, certainly,” says Aspen Tech Labs’ founder and CEO Michael Woodrow. “But what we realized is that most options are opaque. They don’t give customers access to the actual data. They just offer access to selected findings every month or so. And that’s not good enough. That’s why we used our best-in-class data scraping technology and applied it to a growing demand: salary transparency research.” With the Wage Benchmarking Tool, customers can analyze the specific amounts employers in their area are paying for current openings. Rather than tracking this information down manually on careers pages or searching the average wages for positions in a certain region, users can instantly see live salary data from thousands of employers worldwide. That’s because the Wage Benchmarking Tool offers: Real-Time Verifiable Data. The Wage Benchmarking Tool lets users click on the direct application link for the position they’re viewing. This means customers can read more about a specific employer or opportunity as well as verify the validity of the salary data they view. And because Aspen Tech Labs only pulls salary data that’s present in job posts, users know the data they see is the same data that employers share. Complex Filtering. Customers can filter and compare wages by region, position, and employer. Plus, the Wage Benchmarking Tool offers an interactive dashboard with built-in data visualizations to optimize at-a-glance viewing of the composite data. Trending Data. Because Aspen Tech Labs also retains historical jobs data, customers can track job market trends – local and global – over days, weeks, months, and years. This tracking is streamlined with custom alerts that notify users when changes occur in the market (e.g., an increase in the average wage for a certain position). Custom Analysis. If customers need data from a region Aspen Tech Labs hasn’t fully explored in the database, they’ll add it. This customizability also extends to the specific data sets customers want to track. And in a short time, clients will be able to track other elements of a compensation package, from insurance plans to PTO policies. “Finding the perfect job – or finding the perfect job candidate – is rarely easy. But it shouldn't be this hard,” says Woodrow. “We’re not doing anything radical here. Employers, job seekers, and researchers all need real-time wage data to do their jobs more effectively. By providing this data, we hope to create an employment market that’s easier for everyone to navigate.” About Aspen Tech Labs Aspen Tech Labs is a global leader in web data management services and recruitment technology headquartered in Colorado, with footprints across the US and Europe. Since its founding in 2008, Aspen Tech Labs has grown its product line beyond custom job board software and extended it to web data scraping and extended it to, most recently, a business intelligence platform. Today, Aspen Tech Labs helps hundreds of companies – from job boards to recruitment advertising agencies to large corporations to ATSes – collect and manage jobs data. This management leads to millions of job seekers every year finding the right jobs at the right time in the right place. Contact Details Aspen Tech Labs, Inc.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Macon, GA Moves to New Location & Has Grand Opening

Minuteman Press International Inc

Richie Moore and his family have owned the Minuteman Press franchise in Macon, Georgia since June of 2017. As they approach six years in business, Richie, along with his father and his wife Elle, have moved to a brand new facility at 4341 Interstate DR, Suite B, Macon GA 31210. To celebrate the move, Minuteman Press in Macon held a grand opening on February 21, 2023, that was sponsored by the Greater Macon-Bibb Chamber of Commerce, the Perry Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce. Richie shares, “We have needed more space for the last 3 years. We wanted to get the equipment needed to do the things our customers have been asking us to do and now we have the space and a lot of the equipment needed! We want to show Middle Georgia that the big jobs don’t need to be sent out of our local area, and that Minuteman Press in Macon can produce and deliver for them.” Richie further explains the benefits of the new facility: “We now have a lobby that we can show off our larger jobs and spark ideas in our customers. If that doesn’t do it we want to set up tours of our facility to show the machines’ capabilities for prints. We have just upgraded our main production systems on all of our paper products so that we can print even faster and deliver higher quality. We are able to get longer lasting, higher quality signage done at a fraction of the time it would take a typical sign shop to print.” When it comes to marketing the business, Richie has followed the Minuteman Press system and reached out to his local business community through networking groups. He also focuses on education potential and established customers on the product capabilities that Minuteman Press in Macon has to offer. Richie shares: “We have participated in a lot of networking groups in the last 6 years and that has been some of the main drivers behind our growth. We’ve worked hard on getting out into the community and talking about our vision at Minuteman Press Macon to our customers. Our message is simple: We are showing Middle Georgia that having a quick turnaround doesn’t have to sacrifice quality. We educate them on the fact that having quality doesn’t have to come with the highest price tag. And above all, we make it a point to let our clients know that growing larger doesn’t sacrifice the customer care that our customers receive on a daily basis. “There is a big market for the medium-size niche jobs that sadly is getting left by the wayside. We have customers that want 500 boxes or direct printed bags. They are a small-to-medium sized companies and they don’t necessarily need 5,000 bags that are all the same. They want 500 of 10 different bags so they can sell more products. We want to offer an option to those people who need help with all of their printing needs and don’t want to go to 5 different places to get them all done.” -Richie Moore, co-owner, Minuteman Press, Macon, GA Franchise Support from Minuteman Press International Before franchising, Richie shares, “My wife Elle and I come from the insurance world and before that I worked with computers everywhere. My dad called me up one day and asked if I’d be interested in a printing franchise. One of our computer customers was Minuteman Press Macon and the owner called us and asked if we would be interested in buying the computers back from him. We offered to let us try running the business for a few months and see if it was for us.” He continues, “We did it and we loved helping out the customers. We loved that every day was something new to do. You definitely have to stay on your toes in a print shop! So, my wife and I cashed in our insurance bonuses and bought into a new business with my dad. From there, we have grown it dramatically and want to continue to grow with our customers.” Richie shares his thoughts on the support he and his family have received since joining the Minuteman Press franchise family. He says, “The Minuteman Press franchise has been around a long time and will be around a lot longer. If you have seen it printed, they have had experience with it. Our corporate office has been a great support to us when we had questions on how to help our customers. They have always been supportive in helping us reach our goals. This move to our new building has been the top goal for us for at least 3 years now, and we couldn’t have done it without the help and guidance of our local RVP Dave Walton and the local support team.” Richie adds, “We took over in 2017 but this Minuteman Press franchise has been in Macon for 35 years! We have a lot of experience and knowledge about the products that our clients want and possibly some that you don’t even know about that can help!” When asked about his final thoughts on the move and being business owner, Richie says, “I like to remind all of our clients that WE ARE LOCAL and that we can help. We would love to show prospects what we can do and invite them to tour our facility!” Richie concludes, “For business owners, I would say you need to s urround yourself with smart people that have done it all and are successful. This way, you will end up driving yourself to reach their level. That’s yet another reason franchising and Minuteman Press was right for us.” Minuteman Press in Macon is located at 4341 Interstate DR, Suite B, Macon GA 31210.

Liteboxer Announces Transformative Rebrand to Litesport

Litesport

Litesport, formerly known as Liteboxer, the leading trainer-led VR fitness company, announces its rebrand to reflect the brand’s evolution and continued expansion into workout modes beyond boxing. The new visual identity and name demonstrates the company's growth and marks a significant milestone, as the brand releases a monumental update to their popular VR-fitness app, including Strength Training. With the addition of the strength modality, Litesport creates an accessible, inviting and convenient environment for any and all fitness enthusiasts by bringing real trainers to your home. Litesport continues to disrupt the VR fitness industry with their new Strength Training mode which uses cutting-edge VR features, such as passthrough, hand-tracking, and mixed-reality to enable trainers to appear in the user's own space and provide effective dumbbell-based workouts. This addition to the app provides a first-of-its-kind experience with tried-and-true exercises, ensuring correct form while lifting weights as well as showcases Litesport's commitment to helping at-home fitness enthusiasts build strength, while increasing the app's appeal to a wider audience. The Liteboxer VR fitness app launched just over one year ago and now with the rebrand it includes Boxing, Total Body, and Strength workouts. The app has over 940,000 installs to date, and CEO and Founder, Jeff Morin, is delighted with the progress. Reflecting on the app's evolution since the original release in March 2022, Morin said, "The app has changed so much in the past 12 months. We added full body workouts with the launch of Total Body 6 months ago, and it became obvious that this made-for-VR, trainer-led experience is really something special. People love it, and it's a huge differentiator for us." Litesport's unique offering provides a workout experience that is personalized, interactive and is led by world class trainers. Members enjoy the one-on-one coaching experience, which they might not have access to otherwise due to time, cost, or location. Morin explains, "We are unique in the space where the trainer is in front of you, showing what you do for the entire workout. Not just an intro, not a voiceover, but right in front of you - showing you good form, sweating, and doing the work. Now take that, add the interactivity and the feedback made possible by working out in the headset, and we have something pretty addictive. That's what we're all about." The new Strength Training mode differs from the other workouts in the app, as it does not provide a 'score,' 'leaderboard,' or 'match' results. Instead, trainers provide guidance throughout the workout, targeting 16 key muscles, which are showcased on the interactive muscle map. Members have the ability to filter content by specific muscle groups to change the focus of each workout to reach their goals. The mode is intended to motivate members to compete with themselves, improving their muscle map and getting stronger with each workout. Morin concludes, "Building strength is essential, and we want to make it accessible to everyone. With Strength Training, we hope to give people who may have never sought out a strength workout - a starting point. They can find a workout to help strengthen their lower back so they might more easily pick up their toddler, whatever it might be. Our muscle map makes it simple to pick a target area, and the tracking and accountability will, we hope, make them come back to it and feel the result, but as a side effect of having fun in the app and doing something they enjoy." Litesport's app is available to download in the Oculus Store for $18.99/month, with a 7-day free trial. There is also an option to sign up for a free membership, which provides limited access to content. The app is compatible with Meta Quest, Quest 2, and Quest Pro headsets, providing immersive and fun workouts in the comfort of your own home. To learn more about Litesport, please visit www.litesport.com and @ LitesportVR on TikTok. About Litesport Litesport, formally Liteboxer, combines hit music, game dynamics, and expert training to create the world's most immersive workouts. By combining innovative boxing, full body, and strength training workouts, Litesport creates the ultimate virtual reality fitness experience placing real, certified trainers in the convenience of your own home. Litesport is designed to make your at-home workouts accessible and teach form accuracy while also keeping your goals at the forefront.

Tradeweb Completes Final Technology Milestone of Integrating the Nasdaq U.S. Fixed Income Electronic Trading Platform

Tradeweb

Tradeweb Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: TW), a leading, global operator of electronic marketplaces for rates, credit, equities and money markets, today announced it has achieved the final significant technology milestone relating to the company’s 2021 acquisition of the Nasdaq Fixed Income platform (formerly eSpeed) into its Dealerweb central limit order book (CLOB). The Dealerweb CLOB has relocated its primary data center to Equinix NY5 (Secaucus, NJ), providing enhanced infrastructure, improved performance and a closer connection with a broader range of customers resulting in a faster and consistent trading experience. The data center was formerly located at Equinix NY11 (Carteret, NJ). “This move optimizes performance for market participants by placing Dealerweb U.S. Treasury (UST) trading and price discovery in closer proximity to trading customers and vendors with an existing presence in Equinix NY5,” said Tradeweb President Thomas Pluta. “Dealerweb is committed to offering the best possible trading experience for our clients, and by realizing operational synergies we can continue to provide reliable and leading-edge trading services to our clients.” Equinix NY5 provides equalized cross-connections to its NY2, NY4, and NY5 locations. The result is a deterministic trading experience with improved performance, achieving mean latencies of approximately 30µs. The west-to-east UST long haul data terminates at NY2, providing proximity to UST data and insight into correlated UST products. Equinix NY5 serves as the data center for many existing clients. “Dealerweb’s infrastructure and data center move to the Equinix campus in Secaucus demonstrates its commitment to providing a best-in-class service to UST trading participants,” adds Troy Kane, Global Head of Derivatives and FICC Development at Citadel Securities. “The equalized connections and the strategic location provide close proximity to important network paths from Chicago to Secaucus. Citadel Securities is supportive of the move and what it will mean for Dealerweb’s position in the market.” In addition to delivering enhanced trading, price discovery and onboarding for wholesale UST, this move will enable Dealerweb to consolidate numerous UST “on-the-run” products. Later this year, Dealerweb plans to also move its Actives Streams (DWAS) matching engine to Equinix NY5, providing a single cross-connect for both the CLOB and Active Streams, and a single straight-through processing (STP) feed for both. The DWAS matching engine is currently located at Cyxtera NJ2X (Weehawken, NJ). About Tradeweb Markets Tradeweb Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: TW) is a leading, global operator of electronic marketplaces for rates, credit, equities and money markets. Founded in 1996, Tradeweb provides access to markets, data and analytics, electronic trading, straight-through-processing and reporting for more than 40 products to clients in the institutional, wholesale and retail markets.

Payscore Secures Funding to Accelerate Sales, Increase Customer Efficiency

Payscore

Payscore, the PropTech company automating income verification for property managers and consumer lenders, announced the successful close of a financing round led by ff Venture Capital of New York. SeaChange Fund, Hamilton Ventures and Seattle’s Alliance of Angels also joined the round. “Verification of income deserves disruption on both sides of the transaction,” said Mark Fiebig, CEO and co-founder of Payscore. “We’re making it simple for applicants and operators to easily share and accurately assess the truth about income.” The industry’s historic reliance on paystubs to verify income leads to problems. Inaccurate and unfair income assessments are frequently subject to delay, and often leave operators exposed to fraud and liability risk. In response, co-founders Fiebig and Stephen Arifin, CTO, developed a solution that delivers accuracy by design. Arifin says, “Eliminating waste from an old-school process ignites the engineering team every day. We’re delivering efficiencies and accuracy like no one else in the industry.” In fact, Payscore has stripped at least an hour out of time spent processing each candidate and has accelerated a cumbersome process while also minimizing the operators’ liability exposure risk due to fraud. “When verifying income, accuracy is everything,” said Alex Katz, MD Partner at ff Venture Capital and Payscore board member. “By analyzing consumer-permissioned data, Payscore ensures every applicant is evaluated fairly and objectively, even when income is cash-based, like tips, or fluctuates, like commissions.” Facilitating this digital migration for industry, Payscore yields the delivery of accurate income reports at a rate of 2-3X other options. Payscore eliminates a root source of fraud by integrating directly with financial institutions, reporting 100% bank-verified data and eliminating the need to collect and evaluate financial documents, or to guess whether those documents have been falsified. Fiebig noted, “We deliver the truth about income.” The U.S. residential rental market is comprised of roughly 42 million units with an average turnover of 3 years, and multiple applications per vacancy. “Rental demand exceeded supply for the last 10 years, consistently 35 percent of us are renters, and the market for income verification is large, growing, and self-renewing,” said Prashant Kothari, MD of Hamilton Ventures, and the newest investor in Payscore. “The emerging dynamics of the modern workforce, inflation, and interest rate pressures create demand for property managers to reduce costs by automating processes, broadly increasing the value of Payscore’s solution.” Payscore has decades of experience in the property management and software industries. Mark Fiebig succeeded in leadership roles at venture-backed and self-funded technology startups in several sectors including in real estate, and specifically in property management and vehicle dealership operations. Stephen Arifin and his engineering team provide technological leadership, having successfully shipped multiple products inside Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. Additional members of the team each have over 30 years of directly relevant expertise. This combination, including a customer-driven design and a bootstrapping mentality, makes this the right team to scale Payscore. Payscore established its beachhead delivering property management efficiency and is eager to leverage Hamilton’s strategic real estate network to accelerate growth. About Payscore: Payscore delivers automated income verification reporting to resolve the most common challenges faced by onsite property management teams, credit reporting agencies, and consumer lenders. By automatically connecting to 99% of financial institutions in North America, Payscore generates uniquely valuable insight and eliminates a major source of fraud, delinquency, and eviction; increases accuracy and efficiency; and helps ensure increased compliance and objectively fair income analyses.

A Global Email and Web Hosting Provider Has Been Hacked Multiple Times Now — Tech CEO Alain Ghiai Explains Why This Keeps Happening And How Sekur Private Data Provides An Alternative

Sekur Private Data Ltd

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Popular web hosting mogul GoDaddy reported a huge data breach in late 2022. Hackers had stolen source code and installed malware on servers due to a cPanel breach. According to reports, the incidents were part of a multi-year campaign, especially alarming to GoDaddy’s client base. CEO Alain Ghiai of Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) recently spoke to New to The Street to share his thoughts on these data hacks and how Sekur is different. Ghiai shares that GoDaddy operates on open-source technology. For those that are unfamiliar, open-source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify and enhance. In other words, the software design is publically accessible. Programmers who have access to a computer program’s source code can change or hack anything they have available. The majority of Big Tech is open source because at the turn of the century when Web 2.0 was expanding, open source allowed developers to share code and create usable solutions to expand technology. These days open source is considered a vulnerability. The multi-year GoDaddy data breach drives this point home. That’s why Ghiai preaches the importance of closed-source software and why his company, Sekur, stands out from the crowd when it comes to privacy and security. Proprietary or closed-source software is the opposite of open source. These networks and programs have a source code that can only be modified by the person, team or organization who created it and maintains exclusive rights to it. Sekur is an example of a proprietary or closed source. Sekur is a US-listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company that provides private and secure communications and data management. It uses military-grade encryption security and combines it with its proprietary encryption and Swiss data privacy laws. Since its wholly-owned servers are hosted in Switzerland, all user data is protected by the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection Ordinance. The company’s use of some of the strongest privacy protection in the world for individuals and entities makes its Swiss-hosted services attractive. Additionally, it uses its own servers and does not host its software with any Hyperscaler, or big tech hosting companies, and does not sell or lend any of its user’s data, guaranteeing full privacy. Sekur is a closed-loop platform with multiple layers of privacy and security. Its products like SekurMail, SekurMessenger and SekurVPN offer users complete privacy because their code is unavailable for the manipulation that causes hacks. In the 10 years that Sekur has existed, they have had zero ransom instructions from hackers. Sekur has successfully built a brand that prides itself on state-of-the-art technology allowing for secure and private communication. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. Sekur Private Data Ltd. is a Cybersecurity and Internet privacy provider of Swiss hosted solutions for secure communications and secure data management. The Company distributes a suite of secure cloud-based storage, disaster recovery, document management, encrypted e-mails, and secure communication tools. Sekur Private Data Ltd. sells its products through its websites www.sekur.com and www.sekursuite.com, and approved distributors, and telecommunications companies worldwide.
