#StartupHPC Summit to Inspire #STEM and #HPC #Entrepreneurs
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StartupHPC, a grass roots community to promote entrepreneurship that is inspired by High Performance Computing (HPC) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) will hold its second annual summit here on November 16, 2015, at Capital Factory. The conference features prominent speakers from TechStars and Inside-Startups.com, among others, who have in-depth experience with entrepreneurship and the startup culture. The StartupHPC community caters to students and young entrepreneurs, corporations, venture capital firms, academia, government agencies, and support organizations.
November marks the return of the world's largest gathering of the supercomputing community to Austin for the SC15 conference and exhibits. Conference attendees can anticipate a destination not just changed but inspired. Central to the city's transformation is its recognized leadership in cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit - an experience StartupHPC intends to exploit hosting its second annual summit at Capital Factory, "Austin's Center of Gravity for Entrepreneurs."
Capital Factory Managing Director Mellie Price leads off the one-day StartupHPC event. A serial success, Price is an original founding mentor and serves as General Partner to Capital Factory's investment fund. Price also founded Front Gate Ticket and launched SoftMatch in 2015. The Profile in Power and Tech Titan award winner is also the founding advisor to Texas Competes and serves on Austin's Social Innovation Council.
"We're delighted to welcome StartupHPC to the Capital Factory and delve further into the green-field potential of HPC," said Price.
"Most ideas need a catalyst to overcome the biggest barrier to launching an idea, the individual's notion that becoming a startup is a 'go it alone' venture," added Price. "The purpose behind the launch of SoftMatch, Capital Factory, and initiatives like StartupHPC is to pave the way to collaboration - to help surface and facilitate more startups, in general or in HPC specifically."
"HPC represents some of the greatest minds that are responsible for leading-edge breakthroughs – the techniques, products, tools – that become broadly adopted downstream and turned into industry staples," said Shahin Khan, founding partner of Silicon Valley-based OrionX and StartupHPC. "What StartupHPC can do is help parallelize some of the bring-up required to launch and grow a startup, and help the HPC community find ways to change the world."
StartupHPC's mission is to encourage startup opportunities for HPC/STEM practitioners - to fuel future growth and job creation by demystifying perceived barriers and challenges – from incorporation to IPO.
"Whether it's a drive to remain competitive, out-compete, secure future funding or to achieve exascale – or all of the above - creating new companies and bringing revolutionary new technologies to market is imperative," said Khan "From advancing the state of the art to the success of the national and global initiatives, the lack of HPC entrepreneurship is this century's 'grand challenge'."
Meeting the millennial challenge head-on, StartupHPC Director and Austin resident Cydney Ewald Stevens is taking advantage of SC15's return to showcase the people, places and programs to support startups - not just locally but globally. Ewald Stevens chose the Capital Factory, a model for other cities and an ecosystem unto itself, as the place for this year's daylong event, to give attendees access to change agents – people like Mellie Price and San Antonio's Blake Yeager, Managing Director of one of global incubator Techstars.
"StartupHPC Summit attendees can anticipate learning not just about startup programs that are available but also the criteria global incubators like Techstars, prospective investors like Price, or accelerators like Capital Factory, consider when evaluating an emerging idea or company," said Ewald Stevens. "Talk about a priceless opportunity."
Along with Brent Gorda, a luminary of the national supercomputing scene and WhamCloud founder (purchased by Intel in 2012), this year's StartupHPC Founder Stories will feature several Texas talents, including Dallas-based Nimbix CTO Leo Reiter, founder of Virtual Bridges (acquired by Austin-based Nimboxx in 2015) along with Austin up-and-comer Subbu Rama, founder and CEO of BitFusion.
StartupHPC's second annual gathering brings an HPC luminary lineup together to share their collective expertise in entrepreneurial essentials - from markets to marketing to the interactive "CxO Probe" – featuring an interactive Q &A with industry leaders. Steve Campbell returns as emcee hosting invited talks with OrionX partners, Author Dr. Stephen Perrenod and former 451 Research analyst Peter ffoulkes; McMahon Consulting founder Kim McMahon and 'car talk for HPC' podcast personalities Rich Brueckner and Dan Olds.
Ewald Stevens estimates this year's StartupHPC represents over 400 'man-years' of collective expertise – with a roster that reads like a who's who of founders and seasoned change agents. StartupHPC will be hosted from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday, November 16th, at the Capital Factory – on the 16th floor of the Austin Centre, 701 Brazos Street Austin Texas. Seating is limited; register here now.

Finally - Some Good News In Oil & Gas
CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Good news is getting harder to find, lost in the shadows of low oil prices and layoff announcements. But you only need to spend a few minutes clicking around on the internet or flipping through a magazine in order to find the success stories. These are companies who continue to expand into new markets, or are innovating new technologies, or they are companies like VistaVu Solutions who continue to be recognized for their achievements and are happy to operate quietly, focusing on their customers' needs for increased cost control and efficiencies.
VistaVu Solutions has earned several recognitions and awards in 2015. Most recently, Canadian Business and PROFIT ranked VistaVu No. 226 on the Annual PROFIT 500, the definitive ranking of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies, with a five-year annual growth rate of 260%. That announcement came on the heels of Inc. Magazines' annual Inc. 5000 ranking in the US, with VistaVu in No. 2125, up from No. 2355 in 2014.
According to Jory Lamb President of VistaVu, "What matters most aren't the awards - though it's great to be recognized in these ways. It's our customers that are our greatest achievement, and we are continually looking for ways to better support them. We haven't escaped having to make some difficult decisions ourselves this year, but we continue to invest in new technologies and prototypes in order to find ways to help our customers run better."
In 2015, VistaVu launched two new products, FieldVu Mobile and FieldVu Analytics. The increased emphasis on analytics and the subsequent drop in oil prices puts pressure on companies to use the data they already have, which lead to the development of FieldVu Analytics. Having the ability to make better decisions is often the difference between making money and losing it – FieldVu Analytics puts this data at your fingertips so you can make faster decisions in key areas like financials, job costing, workforce and equipment maintenance. VistaVu put their expertise into tools and out-of-the-box dashboards which helps energy services companies hit the ground running. And it's easy. "What I truly love about (FieldVu Analytics) is that it is so easy to use." says Logan Givner, Operational Controller at the Keane Group, one of VistaVu's customers. "Being able to drag objects into your report and create calculations, when you want to review the same information on a monthly or quarterly basis, makes financial analytics so much easier."
In the spring, VistaVu launched FieldVu mobile, a disconnected field data capture application. "FieldVu mobile helps customers get information from the field faster and more accurately. Reducing the time it takes to collect the information from the field and get bills out the door, can significantly impact cash flow," says Lamb. Both FieldVu Analytics and FieldVu Mobile complement VistaVu's core product, FieldVu, extending the value even further for their energy service customers.
In a world where markets go up and down and companies come and go, staying focused helps you keep decisions in line with strategy. At VistaVu, "We continue to work on next generation solutions for our customers. Technology is a tool that business can leverage to make a good business better, and we want to be on the leading edge of that." says Lamb.

Upcoming Windows 10 patch begs you not to change
I think this article sums up my Windows 10 fears perfectly.
A snip
I initially intended to upgrade to Windows 10, but the longer I’ve waited, the more uncertain I am that doing so is a good idea. It’s not a question of whether the UI is faster or DX12 a better gaming API — I’m fundamentally uninterested in engaging in a protracted fight with my operating system. In the past six weeks, we’ve seen Microsoft start including app suggestions in your own start menu, accidentally force-upgrade some users to Windows 10, download Windows 10 to systems even when the user has not requested that this occur, refuse to shut off telemetry, and refuse to address problems with its own patching model.
When I decided not to upgrade to Windows 8, my reasons were structural — I thought the Metro interface was a disaster and wasn’t willing to pay Microsoft for an OS with huge swathes of functionality I didn’t want. With Windows 10, the underlying model is far more solid, but Microsoft’s efforts to monetize, monitor, and control end-user interactions are extremely frustrating.
The article goes on to explain how one of the new patches will be asking users to actually "use" the applications that come with the operating system. Of course this begs the question. "How do they know you aren't using them?"
Yep, you are telling them, but not directly.
I suspect this will blow over eventually and the many many annoyances M$ has been building into Windows 10 will simply become noise while people use their computers how they want, else they will switch to something that will.
New OS anyone?

World's Largest Customer Experience Company MaritzCX Launches in Sydney
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MaritzCX, the world's leading customer experience (CX) technology company, has today announced that it has opened an office in Sydney to fuel businesses success in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). The dedicated ANZ office will provide Australian companies with MaritzCX's market leading combination of research and customer experience software.
The Sydney office will enable MaritzCX to enhance support of its customers in the region and to grow its customer base by improving customer retention, conversion, and value.
Foundation customers in ANZ include Qantas, PTV, and JAX Tyres, in relationships that have been developed through an ongoing partnership with Australian digital marketing company Salmat Ltd (SLM.AX).
According to David Blakers, ANZ managing director at MaritzCX, there is a huge opportunity for companies in the region to dramatically improve customer experience and create a sustainable competitive advantage.
"Australian companies understand the importance of ensuring the quality of customer experience, but while they understand the need and may have invested in a CX plan, they are now realizing they need a strategic partner to make a systemic CX investment successful. The secret to success lies in the ability to collect, analyze then act upon customer feedback in real time."
MaritzCX's offering comprises four key elements: CX platform, data and research science, vertical market expertise, and managed program services. This enables MaritzCX to assist its clients with CX strategy design and ongoing CX program execution in order to improve their customers' experience.

"Qantas differentiates itself by delivering exceptional customer experiences. Through the MaritzCX platform we're able to listen and learn from our customers, enabling us to tailor products and services that drive continued loyalty,"
Carine Clark, president and chief executive officer of MaritzCX, says the company is excited to bring its global expertise to Australian businesses."The value of customer retention worldwide is measured in billions of dollars, so the ability to see, sense, and act upon the experience of every customer is critical. The MaritzCX SaaS-based software and services approach is becoming as vital to global business performance as a financial, CRM, or ERP system."
"MaritzCX sets the standards in global CX and is the long-term partner needed to help businesses succeed. There is massive demand to master this business strategy and pouring money into disparate tactics is not the answer," Clark says.
The SaaS-based MaritzCX Platform is powered by big data technologies that deliver immediate insights for CX programs of all sizes.

Adaptive two-factor authentication: is it all it's cracked up to be?
NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It's a given that employee access to corporate systems should be both as secure and simple as possible. Up until recently however, time-strapped CIOs, under pressure from demanding staff and challenged with authenticating users all over the world on multiple devices, have been torn between relying on the fatally flawed password or hard token two-factor authentication (2FA) to keep their systems secure.
Recently, adaptive authentication has gained in popularity, as it reduces the time it takes to log-in by verifying a user based on their location. But is this the best solution?
Adaptive authentication works by granting users access using just their user name and password if they are in a trusted location. Although in theory this process makes it easier for a user to authenticate their identity, there are several issues with this technology, which many may not realise.From an end-user prospective, they want speed, stability and consistency in their log-in methods. If a user attempts to verify their identity using adaptive authentication in a non-trusted location, they will be asked to use the full 2FA process. This will require them to enter a code generated on a soft or hard token depending on the technology used. If the user is using the full process less than once a week however, they are likely to run into complications – forgetting how the process works or even to bring their hard token if one is required.
Despite this, a small number of users, usually those who are based at home but travel frequently, login at multiple locations, multiple times a day. In this instance, adaptive authentication can prove its value, as a user will feel the benefit of a fast login process in trusted locations, whilst using the full 2FA process frequently enough to be familiar with it.
There are three ways of achieving adaptive authentication, and it's important for CIOs to consider the differences.
The first is to detect a user's geo position via their IP address. The process, called GeoIP, has its own issues. Internet service provides often change IP addresses of private users to prevent them from running their own servers at home. This means that when an IP address is switched, a user's location could appear to be somewhere 200 miles away, flagging them as now being in an unsecure location. The home of the user now assigned to the old IP address, has also suddenly become a trusted site.
Corporate offices and buildings will usually have just one external IP address and several internal addresses. These internal addresses are not made available externally, which means that to make a corporate location trusted, anyone in that office is then identified as a trusted user.
The second method is to use GPS location. This method requires an app to be installed on a user's mobile device. Whilst this is infinitely more precise, employers can track the location of their staff whenever the device is on, raising serious questions on privacy.
The future of adaptive outreach is to use the local base transceiver station's GSM Cell ID to identify the location of a user's mobile phone, and therefore verify their identity. With this method, neither the organisation, nor the two-factor authentication security provider knows the location of the user. Instead, the security provider sends a request to the mobile operator asking whether a user's mobile phone is within a trusted cell. The operator will simultaneously come back and say either yes or no, never revealing which cell they are in. If no, the user will be prompted so sign in using the full 2FA method.
Individuals already trust their mobile network provider to keep their location secure, and this way their location data never leaves its sphere of trust.
The ultimate solution for both the CIO and the end-user's needs is an authentication method that's so quick, simple and secure, there's no need for it to be adaptive. Near Field Communication (NFC)-based mobile authentication for example, can securely transfer all the information required to enable a browser to start up, connect to the required URL, and then automatically enter the user id, password and second factor passcode in one seamless logon.
NFC isn't just limited to mobile phones either. Wearable technology, highly personal in nature, can also be utilised, enabling users to authenticate using their smart watch by simply tapping their wrists against a corresponding device.
This effectively creates a solution that's even quicker than entering a simple user name and password. The CIO is then safe in the knowledge that their end points are covered, and the user is happy authenticating their way. So question, is adaptive authentication as secure as it should be an everything its cracked up to be?
