Inntopia Recognized in OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work 2015
Stowe, Vermont, Nov. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inntopia has been named as one of OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work 2015. Each year, OUTSIDE recognizes the top 100 companies in the United States that help their employees strike the ideal balance between work and play. These companies encourage employees to lead an active lifestyle, are eco-conscious, and prioritize giving back to the community.
We are thrilled to have been awarded this recognition by OUTSIDE Magazine,” said Craig Deluca, COO of Inntopia. “Inntopia has a simple formula: start by hiring special people who want to create something extraordinary. Then do everything possible to unleash their full potential. Good pay and benefits, free snacks, beer-Friday, and flexibility are cool, but the ‘special sauce’ is trust, respect, camaraderie, challenging work, personal and professional growth, and achievement. Nurture your people and they will create amazing business results."
“The companies recognized in this year’s Best Places to Work list are the gold standard for stellar work environments that seek to empower their employees both in and out of the office,” said OUTSIDE Online Editor Scott Rosenfield. “The new categories in this year’s list serve to highlight outstanding workplaces in distinctive fields—making it all the easier for our readers to find their dream jobs.”
With Inntopia’s headquarters located in the picturesque resort town of Stowe, Vermont, the bulk of the employees also reap the benefits of its setting. Lunch time more often than not is spent enjoying walks, hikes, runs, or bike rides. In the winter time, employees turn to cross-country skiing at Trapp Family Lodge, fat biking on the Stowe Rec Path, and alpine skiing at Stowe Mountain Resort, all only minutes outside the door. Inntopia employees (and their families) are eligible for generous benefits packages, including health and wellness, dental, and vision plans. A 401K plan, to which Inntopia contributes a match, is also offered.
“We wish to thank OUTSIDE Magazine for recognizing companies like Inntopia, companies who care deeply about their colleagues, and who are committed to creating environments where people can thrive personally and professionally. We hope it will inspire other companies to act similarly,” said Deluca.
To find the best places to work in the United States in 2015, OUTSIDE started by creating five company categories that reflect the magazine’s values and focus: Adventure/Travel, Wellness, Culture, Gear, and Media. OUTSIDE then conducted a rigorous vetting process in partnership with the Best Companies Group to assess the policies, practices, and demographics of hundreds of companies. Outside’s Best Places to Work 2015 was driven by employee reviews of their workplaces, taking into account factors such as corporate culture, role satisfaction, work environment, and overall employee engagement. The Best Places to Work list represents the cream of the crop: companies that are empowering their employees to live bigger, better lives.
The complete list of Best Places to Work winners is featured online at www.outsideonline.com/2034286/100-best-places-work-2015.

Other partners in the company include Inntopia’s founder and CEO, Trevor Crist, Aspen Skiing Company, and Intrawest Resorts Holdings Inc. Google recognized Stowe as one of the nation’s most tech-friendly places, with a 2014 eCity Award, and credited Inntopia as one of the driving forces for this acknowledgement.

The Boston Globe Names PatientKeeper a Top Place to Work for 2015
WALTHAM, MASS., Nov. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PatientKeeper, Inc., a leading provider of healthcare applications for physicians, has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the eighth annual employee-based survey project from The Boston Globe. The Top Places to Work 2015 issue was published online at BostonGlobe.com/topplaces last Thursday and appeared in The Boston Globe Magazine yesterday.
Top Places to Work recognizes the most admired workplaces in the state voted on by the people who know them the best—the employees. The survey measures employee opinions about their company's direction, execution, connection, management, work, pay and benefits, and engagement. The employers are placed into one of four groups: small, with 50 to 99 employees; medium, with 100 to 249 workers; large, with 250 to 999; and largest, with 1,000 or more.
PatientKeeper, which is headquartered in Waltham, currently has 167 employees. The company provides more than 60,000 physicians nationwide with an intuitive way to view and act on patient information.
"Our organization has experienced significant growth and change over the years, culminating in last year's acquisition by HCA," Mike Southern, PatientKeeper's vice president of human resources, said. "The way in which our new parent company and existing leadership team have come together to embrace the best parts of PatientKeeper and enhance those with the best parts of HCA is unprecedented. It's great to know that our employees feel the same way."
"The success of a company is not only measured by its revenue and profits, but also by the loyalty and satisfaction of its employees," said Katie Johnston, Boston Globe workplace reporter and Top Places to Work editor. "The winning companies have developed innovative ways to engage and motivate their workers, which often serves as a key factor in innovation and leads to better professional performance."
The rankings in the Top Places to Work are based on confidential survey information collected by WorkplaceDynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from nearly 77,000 individuals at 357 Massachusetts organizations. The winners share a few key traits, including offering progressive benefits, giving their employees a voice, and encouraging them to have some fun while they're at it.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Proofpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ:PFPT), a leading next-generation cybersecurity company, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant of the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving for the fourth consecutive year. The report provides a detailed overview of the enterprise information archiving market and evaluates vendors based on completeness of vision and ability to execute.
"Many of the world's largest organizations rely on the Proofpoint Enterprise Archive solution, which helps organizations comply with complex regulatory requirements and provide streamlined eDiscovery of all corporate data," said Gary Steele, CEO of Proofpoint. "Our leading cloud solution seamlessly and massively scales to handle the ever-increasing amount of data the 21st century organization creates. We believe our leadership in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving for the fourth consecutive year clearly demonstrates our staying power and validates that our ongoing strategy, vision and product development are extremely effective in mitigating information risk for the enterprise."
Proofpoint Enterprise Archive

Built with an architecture explicitly designed to leverage the cloud, Proofpoint allows IT teams to quickly and securely deliver value back to the business. With visibility into and supervision over regulated data, IT burdens are lifted to service eDiscovery and compliance requests, reducing risk and exposure.
Further, the ever-increasing amount of data that organizations and their people create today increasingly favors a cloud deployment model. In fact, according to the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving: "Gartner is seeing a majority of organizations selecting SaaS for new or updated messaging data archiving implementations." Proofpoint is a proven leader in cloud deployments, providing seamless and massive scalability against unstructured data growth, and has a presence across North America and EMEA to meet data sovereignty requirements.
Proofpoint Enterprise Archive enables organizations to control access to information at all times. With broad content support for all electronically stored information (ESI) including email, files, instant messaging and social media content—eDiscovery and legal holds are made simple. The self-service functionality allows legal teams to access all ESI, without IT involvement, diminishing costs and speeding response time. All data stored in the archive is secured via Proofpoint's patented DoubleBlind™ Key Architecture, ensuring sophisticated encryption and control of your data. With a search performance service level agreement (SLA) that is financially-backed, organizations can quickly access email, documents, instant messages and social media content in seconds. This functionality scales even as archived data volume reaches to hundreds of terabytes in size.
To further extend visibility and security, many organizations complement Proofpoint Enterprise Archive with additional Proofpoint solutions to effectively secure and archive communication channels like email and social media. Organizations can manage a wide range of information risks with a comprehensive suite of information security, compliance and governance offerings. With Proofpoint, organizations can efficiently protect, track, classify, monitor and apply policies to unstructured information across the enterprise.

Proofpoint Enterprise Archive
Proofpoint Enterprise Archive is a next-generation archiving solution that addresses three key challenges—legal discovery, regulatory compliance, and end user email access—without the headaches of managing archiving in-house. Built with an architecture explicitly designed to leverage the cloud, Proofpoint allows IT teams to quickly and securely deliver value back to the business. With visibility into and supervision over regulated data, IT burdens are lifted to service eDiscovery and compliance requests, reducing risk and exposure.
Further, the ever-increasing amount of data that organizations and their people create today increasingly favors a cloud deployment model. In fact, according to the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving: "Gartner is seeing a majority of organizations selecting SaaS for new or updated messaging data archiving implementations." Proofpoint is a proven leader in cloud deployments, providing seamless and massive scalability against unstructured data growth, and has a presence across North America and EMEA to meet data sovereignty requirements.
Proofpoint Enterprise Archive enables organizations to control access to information at all times. With broad content support for all electronically stored information (ESI) including email, files, instant messaging and social media content—eDiscovery and legal holds are made simple. The self-service functionality allows legal teams to access all ESI, without IT involvement, diminishing costs and speeding response time. All data stored in the archive is secured via Proofpoint's patented DoubleBlind™ Key Architecture, ensuring sophisticated encryption and control of your data. With a search performance service level agreement (SLA) that is financially-backed, organizations can quickly access email, documents, instant messages and social media content in seconds. This functionality scales even as archived data volume reaches to hundreds of terabytes in size.
To further extend visibility and security, many organizations complement Proofpoint Enterprise Archive with additional Proofpoint solutions to effectively secure and archive communication channels like email and social media.

Sphere 3D Glassware 2.0(TM) Application Containerization Technology Increases Financial Advisor Productivity for Canada's Fastest Growing Mortgage and Lending Provider
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization, virtualization and data management solutions provider, today announced its successful project installation of Glassware 2.0™ at Dominion Lending Centres Mortgage Village (DLC Mortgage Village). DLC Mortgage Village's lending professionals can securely access mission critical financial legacy applications and industry credit facilities using Glassware 2.0™ whether in the office or remotely via PCs and the latest mobile devices. Sphere 3D's GW2000 appliance, which utilizes Glassware 2.0 containerization technology, provides DLC Mortgage Village financial advisors with secure, full access to banking credit, authentication and processing systems (normally only available in branch).
This installation was accomplished without the need to re-code, re-tool or re-format applications or content – ensuring zero disruption to existing business processes. In fact, the project installation was filmed live (see November 10, 2015 video at https://live.sphere3d.com/pastevents) and took under one hour to complete. As DLC Mortgage Village expands its locations, Sphere 3D application containerization solutions provides DLC Mortgage Village with the ability to offer better service and recruit qualified advisors, by having access to the latest technology.
"DLC Mortgage Village's selection of Sphere 3D is an ideal example of how on-cloud and on-premise deployment strategies are enabling financial institutions to securely boost productivity and customer service – by modernizing branch-based solutions," said Eric Kelly, CEO of Sphere 3D. "This is an exciting venture for Sphere 3D, as we provide DLC Mortgage Village with high availability access to vital financial data, credit approval and lending systems for advisors, branches and remote users across multiple cities. This allows DLC Mortgage Village to operate as a cohesive team and further demonstrates our technology leadership in secure application virtualization for mission-critical processes."
According to Jonathan Tillger, Co-Owner of DLC Mortgage Village, "Our Glassware 2.0 environment is essential to maintaining customer service in the competitive mortgage and commercial lending market place – it allows us to quickly access customer files and credit systems securely from any location. Our team is expanding rapidly. We needed to select a technology that would grow with our business and support multiple office advisors and key administrative personnel so they can work remotely, in fact from as far as 6,000 miles from our office headquarters. We don't have time to focus on managing technology, as that distracts us from our core business. I was pleasantly surprised that Sphere 3D's Glassware 2.0 solution took under one hour to deploy! We are excited by the opportunity to provide modern mobile tools to our team and confident that sensitive customer data is safely stored, as Glassware 2.0 eliminates potential security vulnerabilities."

About Glassware 2.0
Sphere 3D's Glassware 2.0 container-based platform extends the useful life of applications by making it easy to move applications from a physical PC or workstation to a virtual environment. Unlike hypervisor-based approaches, with Glassware 2.0 containers, the application's host OS is never installed on the appliance (server). Instead, Glassware 2.0 provides only the necessary elements of the operating system (kernel) an application needs to run. Organizations with older applications can now continue to run them on robust and current hardware platforms free from fears of end of life support and security vulnerabilities. Glassware 2.0 can virtualize 16, 32, and 64-bit Microsoft Windows applications and deliver them with native functionality to most end user devices including Chromebooks, Windows 10 Devices, iPads, thin clients, tablets, etc.
