  • MIL-OSI: Trust Stamp announces the allowance by USPTO of Non-Provisional Patent Application 17/725,978 entitled: “Interoperable Biometric Representation” unlocking the potential to break vendor lock-in for biometric services

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Atlanta, GA, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trust Stamp announces a groundbreaking innovation in biometric security with the allowance by the United States Patent and Trademark Office of a patent application for its “Interoperable Biometric Representation” framework. This disruptive advancement addresses the critical challenge of biometric interoperability while enhancing privacy and security.

    Biometric-based identification and verification systems are widely used today, but their adoption and universality is hindered by a lack of interoperability. Different biometric vendors use proprietary data formats, making it impossible to compare biometric samples across different systems and potentially locking enterprise and government users into legacy vendors.

    Trust Stamp’s new framework solves this issue by transforming biometric data into a universal, privacy-secured format that enables seamless biometric recognition and validation across platforms. This enables biometric samples from different vendor systems to be compared and validated without requiring changes to the way that vendors routinely capture or process biometric data. Furthermore, the system functions as a Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) by generating privacy-secured tokens, known as irreversibly transformed identity tokens (IT2™), which allow users to perform biometric matching without storing or exposing sensitive biometric data.

    Scott Francis, Chief Technology Officer of Trust Stamp, emphasizes the significance of this breakthrough: “Interoperability in facial biometrics is non-existent today, and this patent addresses that gap. First, it allows biometric samples from different vendors to be compared by converting their templates into a common format. Second, it provides an open-format/open-weight neural network solution that approved vendors can use directly to generate face templates that are compliant with the format, eliminating the need for proprietary conversions.”

    Dr. Norman Poh, Chief Science Officer of Trust Stamp, highlights the dual benefits of this innovation: “This patent not only resolves interoperability issues but also operates within a privacy-preserving, tokenized domain. These privacy-secured IT2 tokens allow users to obtain and compare biometric data from multiple sources without risking vendor lock-in, a problem that has long plagued the industry and hurt customers.”

    This advancement aligns with Trust Stamp’s commitment to fostering secure, privacy-first identity verification solutions that can accelerate secure financial inclusion. By eliminating vendor lock-in and enhancing cross-platform biometric authentication, the Interoperable Biometric Representation framework represents a significant step toward a more open, secure, and accessible digital identity ecosystem.

  • MIL-OSI: Enterprises wasted $104M on underused tech in 2024 while 75% of workers struggle to harness AI efficiencies, new WalkMe research finds

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WalkMe, the leader of the Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) category for effectively navigating technology change, today released its annual report, The State of Digital Adoption 2025, Special AI Edition. This year’s report focuses on AI adoption in the enterprise and highlights an alarming disconnect – while 79% of executives express confidence in meeting their AI transformation goals, only 28% of employees feel adequately trained and only 25% report being able to use AI to work more efficiently.

    The report uncovers the staggering cost of digital inefficiencies, with enterprises losing over $104 million in 2024 alone due to underutilized technology and poor productivity practices. With AI spending expected to increase 64% in 2025 from $14M to $23M at large enterprises, companies must take proactive steps to ensure maximum ROI. According to the report, enterprises that implement even a single digital adoption best practice can nearly triple their digital transformation ROI from 22% to 64%. This gap reveals that without effective digital adoption, AI investments often fail.

    These insights are drawn from a survey of 3,700 senior executives and employees, as well as proprietary data from a subset of WalkMe’s user base, 1.5 million users across 2,400 enterprise applications. The full report provides actionable strategies for business leaders to close the AI adoption gap, optimize IT investments, and enhance workforce productivity in 2025 and beyond.

    “As we release the fourth annual State of Digital Adoption report, it’s clear that while AI is transforming enterprise ambitions, its success hinges on people,” said Dan Adika, Co-Founder & CEO of WalkMe. “Over a decade of innovation in digital adoption has shown us one truth: technology alone doesn’t deliver results – people do. This year’s findings outline actionable steps leaders can take to close the readiness gap and turn their AI investments into impact.”

    The report also revealed an alarming visibility gap in how employees are using software in their roles. Executives believe an average of 37 applications are in use at their organizations, but WalkMe’s data shows the average number is actually 625, a 17x discrepancy. This gap is hindering organizations’ ability to manage their software investments and properly support digital transformation.

    “WalkMe’s research highlights a clear need for organizations to bridge the AI adoption gap, and digital adoption platforms play a vital role in enabling organizations to maximize their AI transformation efforts,” said Andrea Lippin, Managing Director, Talent & Organization at Accenture. “The report showed that AI has sparked 93% of enterprises to reevaluate key parts of their digital organization, including IT infrastructure, software applications, and talent to unlock the benefits of AI. We are entering a new chapter of business innovation that will have lasting implications across industries. And that is why we recommend a WalkMe first approach—ensuring that AI adoption is not only strategic but also seamless, intuitive, and scalable.”

    “The success of AI in the enterprise is all about execution and, as this research shows, much of that is in the hands of employees,” said Alexa Cordell, Sr. Learning Technology Manager, EDF Renewables. “It’s about ensuring employees can seamlessly adopt and integrate it into their workflows to drive both individual and organizational success.”

    Additional highlights from the research include:

    • Employees still deal with technology frustrations, wasting an average of 36 working days a year.
    • Average digital adoption investment rose from $2.8 million in 2023 to $5.1 million in 2025.
      • Digital adoption teams have grown: 73% of large organizations have six or more people responsible for driving software adoption, compared to 63% in 2024.

The company has also created Event in a Box kits—including selfie frames, foam hands, and branded materials—to equip loan officers with everything they need to create a memorable experience.

  • MIL-OSI: Survey: Most Companies are Lagging Behind in Real-Time Personalization

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ATLANTA, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fullstory, a leading behavioral data company, today unveiled findings from its 2025 Behavioral Data and AI Landscape Report. The report surveyed over 400 technology leaders to examine their organizations’ preparedness for key digital transformation challenges like AI, data regulations, and privacy restrictions. The research reveals that many companies are moving beyond traditional data collection to focus on tech-driven personalization. But with 41% using AI only as a supporting tool, there’s plenty of room for improvement.

    Real-Time Personalization
    More than half (51%) of businesses lag behind or have yet to prioritize real-time personalization. Only 12% of respondents consider themselves leaders in this area, while 37% say they feel they are keeping up with the market.

    Companies that are currently implementing real-time personalization are doing so through product recommendations based on user profiles or behavior (65%), tailored promotions (54%), and visual content (53%). Just over one-third (35%) use AI-driven chatbot responses for personalization.

    “Our research tells us that AI is playing a supporting role rather than serving as the primary driver of personalization,” said Lindsay Bayuk, CMO at Fullstory. “There’s a significant gap between AI potential and execution across enterprises. The good news is that businesses have a tremendous opportunity to improve their customer experience and anticipate buyer needs—especially the 25% who don’t use AI for personalization at all.”

    AI and Executive Trust
    As AI becomes more embedded into decision-making, executives must balance its potential for innovation with the risk of AI hallucinations. Nearly two-thirds are cautious, with 63% relying on AI only in low-risk areas. Meanwhile, 17% say they fully trust AI but will maintain human oversight, while 9% are scaling back usage until model efficiency improves.

    Looking ahead, 68% expect to see significant to transformational changes in how machine learning and AI models are trained and trusted over the next one to three years. In contrast, only 10% anticipate minimal or no change in this area.

    Data Regulatory and Privacy Restrictions:
    Navigating data regulations and privacy restrictions is expected to become one of the industry’s biggest challenges in the next one to three years. Today, only 5% of executives see it as their top challenge. But looking ahead, 37% of respondents predict a moderate shift in regulatory challenges, while 24% foresee significant changes. Meanwhile, 24% expect minimal impact, and only 9% believe there will be no change at all.

    These findings highlight the ongoing challenges businesses face in navigating digital transformation. Leaders must take a “yes, and” approach, staying informed on evolving regulatory policies while continuing to prioritize customer experience.

  • MIL-OSI: Human Interest sets a new standard for customer experience in the retirement industry

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Industry disruptor Human Interest, the award-winning innovator of automated 401(k) plans1, is once again redefining the retirement industry by revolutionizing what it means to commit to and care for customers. Today, Human Interest announces its Customer Experience Guarantee for ALL customers, big and small. Human Interest is making a bold commitment to participants and administrators through a transparent pledge to deliver outstanding, fast, reliable service with accountability.

    In short, Human Interest is putting its money where its mouth is; if Human Interest doesn’t deliver, customers will get compensated.

    Why a customer-centric approach is key to fixing a broken industry

    For too long, 401(k) customers have experienced frustrating delays and subpar service. Recognizing the urgent need for greater accountability across the retirement savings industry, Human Interest took a hard look at service and support policies — including its own. Now, they’re going all-in on accountability and setting a new standard for transparency and customer service.

    “The ability to retire with peace of mind is a really big deal,” says Rakesh Mahajan, Chief Revenue Officer at Human Interest. “So why has it been an industry standard to leave people on hold, or worse, not even pick up their calls? At Human Interest, we know the stakes are high for both administrators and participants who trust us with their futures. That’s why we’re raising the bar for all customers.”

    A driving factor behind the Customer Experience Guarantee is Human Interest’s commitment to being there for people when their lives dictate a need for their funds, whether it’s as they reach retirement or before. Mahajan elaborates, “Whether our customers need early access to savings or just want to talk to someone on the phone about their plan, it’s often during a critical moment. They shouldn’t have to deal with unnecessary delays or inefficiencies. That’s why we’re guaranteeing exceptional service and challenging the rest of the industry to meet these higher standards.”

    This commitment is an essential and overdue evolution for the industry. According to PBS, more Americans are making hardship withdrawals from retirement accounts than ever before.2 Receiving a check from a 401(k) provider can take up to 15 business days — assuming a person can get in touch with their provider in a timely manner.

    Mahajan explains, “Times are tough, and calamities like hurricanes, fires, and other disasters are all too frequent. When Hurricane Milton hit Florida, many homeowners needed their retirement plans to cope with the destruction. As customers called us, we were able to process their requests and deposit funds into bank accounts within two days so they could start rebuilding their lives. Typical timeframes for legacy providers can take days — or even weeks — to process distributions via the faxing of paper forms and checks being delivered by mail, leaving people sitting and waiting for help. Everyone deserves better, so we’re doing something about it.”

    A first-of-its-kind service-level agreement standard

    The Customer Experience Guarantee, which goes into effect on March 1, 2025, includes specific, measurable service commitments, and we have plans to improve guarantees year-over-year. If at any time these standards aren’t met, Human Interest will provide administrators 50% off their next invoice. Participants will be eligible for a $25 gift card. The Customer Experience Guarantee highlights:

    For administrators3:

    • 100% of an administrator’s inquiry submitted through the Human Interest Support Center will receive a non-automated response within four business hours.
    • 100% of a plan’s contributions will be processed within five business days of running payroll.

    For plan participants4:

    • 100% of a participant’s distributions will be sent to their bank accounts within two business days.
    • 100% of a participant’s calls will be answered within five minutes during business hours.
    • 100% of a participant’s initial inquiries submitted through the Human Interest Support Center will receive a non-automated response within four business hours.

    Investment in automation and customer service excellence fuels commitment

    As part of distancing itself from legacy providers and blazing a more customer-centric trail, Human Interest has built a streamlined, technology-driven system appropriate for present-day life. With its modern approach, the company can seamlessly process payroll contributions, handle inquiries faster, and ultimately, provide participants with timely access to their funds.

    For example, 75% of all payroll contribution files are automatically pulled by Human Interest without any intervention from administrators, saving them up to 40 hours annually and reducing errors. In 2024 alone, Human Interest processed nearly one million contribution files, with 95% processed in three days or less, and nearly 200,000 distributions, with 75% of distributions completed in under 48 hours.5

    Today’s announcement comes just over a year after the company opened its Center of Excellence in Lindon, Utah, which houses nearly all of Human Interest’s 250+ employees focused on customer service. “Our investments in automation and customer experience have positioned us to deliver ‘enterprise-grade’ service for all customers, irrespective of their size,” explains Mahajan. “This is just the beginning of our commitment to continuously improving and exceeding customer expectations.”

    Inspiring change across the retirement industry

    Human Interest hopes that launching this guarantee of this kind will spark broader change in the retirement planning space. “We want to lead by example and encourage other providers to prioritize customer needs over outdated practices,” Mahajan says. “We’ve come a long way, and we’re putting ourselves out there because transparency matters. We’re going to keep improving. Others should, too.”

    Human Interest’s vision is to empower businesses and their employees to build a secure financial future with confidence. The company’s guarantee reflects its mission to make retirement planning more accessible to all.

    Why they made the move to Linsco by LPL

    The transition to LPL Financial was motivated by the advisors’ aspiration for autonomy, greater business flexibility and access to enhanced resources.

    “We have long wanted to have the control to operate on our terms with our own branding,” Stokes said. “We feel the LPL platform provides a wealth of strategic resources and innovative technology that will help us expand our value proposition to clients. We recognize the direction the industry is heading, so it was of upmost importance to join a firm that is dedicated to future growth and innovation.”

    They were specifically drawn to the Linsco model, which serves financial advisors seeking the core tenets of independence, including owning their client relationships and having flexibility to run their practice, their way. With Linsco, advisors have access to LPL’s integrated wealth management platform and robust business resources, along with the additional benefits of having support from an experienced branch management team, dedicated marketing consultant and other resources that allow advisors to focus on their clients.

  • MIL-OSI: Rapid7 Delivers Command Platform Innovations to Identify, Prioritize, and Remediate Critical Exposures

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rapid7 (NASDAQ: RPD), a leader in extended risk and threat detection, today announced new innovations to its Exposure Management offering. These latest features further enhance the Rapid7 Command Platform, delivering unmatched attack surface visibility and unparalleled context. With this expanded offering, organizations now have continuous visibility into sensitive data stored across their multi-cloud environments paired with the context they need to prioritize and remediate exposures effectively.

    As organizations increasingly need to track who has access to sensitive data, ensure it is adequately protected, and verify compliance with evolving privacy regulations, the ability to discover and protect this data from endpoint to cloud has become table stakes. These new innovations within Rapid7’s Exposure Management weave sensitive data insights into an AI-driven risk scoring and prioritization model, enabling security teams to track the data as it relates to assets across locations, ownership, access controls, and posture statuses. In addition, the updates include enhancements to Remediation Hub, enabling risk-based exposure management by aligning risk severity, asset context, reachability, and exploitability together with recommended remediations. This provides security teams enhanced asset context at the time of remediation and removes the need for analysts to navigate across the platform to eliminate exposures.

    “Security teams today need more than just visibility—they need it paired with unparalleled context and control for maximum efficiency,” said Craig Adams, chief product officer at Rapid7. “That’s exactly what we’re delivering with these latest innovations. By integrating sensitive data insights, AI-driven prioritization, and embedded remediation guidance, we’re ensuring that organizations can proactively reduce risk, expedite response times, and gain deeper visibility into their attack surface.”

    These new innovations to Exposure Command provide organizations with the ability to:

    • Discover and Protect of Sensitive Data Across Multi-Cloud Environments: By integrating with Cloud Service Provider (CSP) security services like AWS Macie, GCP DLP, and Microsoft Defender, along with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tagging, teams can classify and secure sensitive data from the start—eliminating manual processes and improving data hygiene. These insights feed directly into Layered Context and Attack Path Analysis, ensuring security teams can prioritize exposures that put sensitive information at risk.
    • Prioritize Exposures with AI-Generated Vulnerability Scoring: The rapid growth of vulnerabilities has outpaced vendors and agencies like NIST and NVD, leaving security teams without timely CVSS scores to assess severity. To bridge this gap, Rapid7 AI-driven CVSS scoring uses advanced machine learning to analyze vulnerability data, generate intelligence-driven scores, and enhance accuracy of Active Risk scoring—helping teams cut through the noise and prioritize exposures with confidence.
    • Speed Up Exposure Remediation with Integrated Asset Context: The expanded Surface Command and Remediation Hub embeds remediation guidance directly within asset inventory and asset detail pages, eliminating platform switching and streamlining risk mitigation. This deeper integration accelerates mean-time-to-remediate (MTTR), enriches asset context with third-party security and ITOps insights, and enhances collaboration by providing stakeholders with the contextual intelligence needed for faster, more informed decision-making.

  • MIL-OSI: Fuse Vectors secures $5.2m to advance cell-free gene therapy technology, led by HCVC

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Copenhagen, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gene therapy’s biggest obstacle isn’t science – it’s manufacturing. While the field races forward with breakthrough treatments, production remains stuck in the 1980s, relying on unpredictable cell-based methods that make therapies costly and slow to develop. Today, Fuse Vectors announces $5.2 million in pre-seed financing led by HCVC to revolutionize gene therapy development with its cell-free viral vector technology

    The funding will accelerate the development of Fuse’s technology platform and pipeline of novel gene therapies. With its breakthrough approach, Fuse Vectors aims to be the universal solution for AAV gene therapy development, delivering unmet patient needs and expanding the accessibility of gene therapy to a wider range of indications.

    Fuse Vectors founders: (L to R) Jordan Turnbull, Henrik Stage and Benjamin Blaha.

    The Fuse Vectors story began with two bioprocess scientists who saw firsthand the limitations of current drug development technologies. Despite the complexity of viral vectors, the industry had been relying on retrofitted manufacturing technologies from the 1980s and 1990s. Benjamin Blaha and Jordan Turnbull watched as these outdated methods produced therapies that were costly, slow to develop, and often low in quality. As the founders describe it, traditional methods are like “tossing LEGO bricks into a tumble dryer and hoping houses emerge.”

    Recognizing this critical gap, they asked a radical question: “What if everything about this process is wrong?” The industry’s major players lacked both the bandwidth and remit to overhaul these outdated methods, so Blaha and Turnbull took the leap – leaving their jobs to rethink viral vector development from the ground up. Their efforts led to a breakthrough: a controlled, cell-free approach that assembles viral vectors with unprecedented precision.

    “Fuse Vectors’ cell-free Fuse Technology offers significant improvements, reducing production time and costs while enhancing vector quality to meet patients’ unmet needs,” said Benjamin Blaha, co-founder of Fuse Vectors. “The enzymatic AAV capsid filling process eliminates cell-based AAV production, using efficient technologies storing components in a module library. This allows on-demand, controlled biocatalytic reactions to fill capsids and works across all serotypes.”

    Instead of relying on living cells’ unpredictable behavior, Fuse’s technology assembles viral vectors through controlled biochemical reactions. This innovative approach allows for unprecedented precision, achieving over 99% filled capsids synthesized in hours rather than weeks. Partners simply provide a gene sequence, and Fuse’s streamlined process packages it into an AAV vector – enabling faster, higher-quality development with minimal setup.

    The platform’s modular nature enables rapid optimization through multi-parallel prototyping, making it significantly more efficient than traditional methods.

    Fuse Vectors team. 

    “This investment from HCVC is a pivotal step for Fuse Vectors, bringing our pre-seed financing to 5 million EUR,” said Henrik Stage, co-founder and Executive Chair of Fuse Vectors. “We are excited to work towards our vision of making gene therapy more efficient, cost-effective, and accessible, and are grateful for the early support and financing received from BioInnovation Institute, EIFO and Innovation Fund during our ideation and start-up phase.”

    Currently in alpha testing, Fuse Vectors is collaborating with over half a dozen partners – from academic research groups to leading pharmaceutical companies. The company plans two commercialization strategies: partnering with pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and academic institutions to optimize drug candidates using their Fuse Technology and Optimization Engine, while also developing their own pipeline of therapeutic candidates.

    “Fuse Vectors’ approach to gene therapy has the potential to make gene therapy much more interesting for the Industry to develop as well as increase accessibility to patients,” stated Trine Bartholdy, CBO of BioInnovation Institute. “Their start-up development exemplifies BII’s commitment to empowering innovative platform technologies based on world-class scientific research to grow into successful companies capable of making meaningful impact on the future of gene therapy and human health.”

    “We are thrilled to support Fuse Vectors in their mission to revolutionize gene therapy,” said Alexis Houssou, Managing Partner of HCVC. “With their unique cell-free viral vector solution, expert founding team and strong business model, Fuse Vectors has the potential to overcome significant challenges in the field, and we believe in their ability to bring transformative treatments to patients.”

    The technology comes at a crucial time for gene therapy. With thousands of genetic diseases still lacking treatments, drug developers struggle to create safe, effective, and accessible therapies. By fundamentally reimagining how viral vectors are made, Fuse Vectors aims to unlock the full potential of gene therapy – bringing it closer to the patients who need it most.

    MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Minneapolis-based CrashPlan, a trusted provider of cyber-ready data resilience and governance, is getting ready to hit the ice for charity along with hockey players of every age and level on Thursday, March 13, 2025 at the Xcel Energy Center. CrashPlan’s support of the Hockey Helping Kids program unites its customers, partners, employees, and their families in support of children’s organizations and charities across the country. Through competitive hockey games, dinners, and fundraisers – often held alongside NHL events – the program raises vital funds and awareness for these important causes.

    Each event is made possible with the support of platinum sponsors like Microsoft Corp., Backblaze and ShopRite Supermarkets. The festivities kick off with a “JV” game, where customers and partners compete before the NHL matchup between the Minnesota Wild and New York Rangers. After the game, the excitement continues as CrashPlan employees and partners share the ice in the “varsity” match, adding to the spirited competition. This year’s varsity team opponents include Denis Maruk, a 15-year NHL veteran who still owns several Washington Capital scoring records, and members of the USA Women’s National Hockey team, including Olympic team medalists.

    Hockey Helping Kids shines a spotlight on the important missions of the children’s charities it supports. Charities that will benefit from this season’s play include the Hendrickson Foundation, a group dedicated to providing hockey opportunities to special needs children; and the Autism Society of Minnesota. The family-friendly event enables children and families from the charities to be fully involved in all aspects of the event.

    Supporting Quotes:

    Randy De Meno, VP, Business Development and Alliances, CrashPlan:
    “Hockey Helping Kids makes a real impact on children and families, while creating unforgettable experiences both on and off the ice. We are excited to collaborate with our platinum sponsors and NHL partners to raise even more funds for meaningful children’s causes in Minnesota and nationwide.”

    Nico Sumas, VP, Shop-Rite Supermarkets:
    “Shop-Rite is proud to collaborate with CrashPlan in supporting nonprofit initiatives and charities that benefit today’s youth. We commend the Hockey Helping Kids program and acknowledge its significant impact on dozens of nonprofit youth organizations over the years.”

    Christine Krsnik, Executive Board Member (daughter of founder Larry Hendrickson) Hendrickson Foundation:
    “The Hendrickson Foundations honored to be a recipient of CrashPlan and Hockey Helping Kids’ fundraising efforts. As a young organization dedicated to making hockey accessible for disabled children, adults, and veterans, we deeply appreciate CrashPlan’s generosity. Their support enables us to reach hundreds of children in need, fostering friendships, confidence, and strong values in a team environment where every player is encouraged to shine.”

    Kelly Ulrick, President, Autism Society of Minnesota:
    “The Autism Society of Greater Minnesota is deeply grateful to be chosen as a beneficiary of CrashPlan’s Hockey Helping Kids Program this year. It is truly inspiring to see a company dedicate its time, resources, and efforts to support our mission of assisting families navigating life with autism. We sincerely appreciate being included in this meaningful and impactful program.”

    Colleen Coyne, U.S. Olympic Gold Medal-winning Hockey player:
    “CrashPlan’s leadership has brilliantly merged their passion for ice hockey with their commitment to supporting children’s nonprofits, making giving back both enjoyable and impactful. Each event brings joy to participants while providing essential financial support to those in need. Being part of this initiative is an honor and a blast!”

    Denis Maruk, 15 year NHL veteran and former member of the Minnesota North Stars:
    “Hockey Helping Kids events are among my favorites each year because they are all about giving more kids a chance – whether that’s in their day-to-day lives, or whether we’re talking about the opportunity to skate in a real hockey arena on the same ice as Olympians and NHL alumni.”

    Duane Barnes, President, RapidScale:
    “We are thrilled to sponsor CrashPlan’s Hockey Helping Kids Program, uniting the Twin Cities community for a cause that truly matters,” said RapidScale President Duane Barnes. “At RapidScale and Cox Business, we believe in the power of giving back and making a positive impact. This event not only showcases the spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship but also highlights Microsoft’s commitment to supporting meaningful initiatives. We look forward to an exciting game and the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause.”

    Brian Bellows, 10-year Minnesota NorthStar and Minnesota hockey legend:
    “Being back on the ice, especially for a cause like Hockey Helping Kids, brings back so many great memories. It’s fantastic to see how this event unites the hockey community, from seasoned veterans to the next generation of players. To be able to contribute to these wonderful children’s charities, and to see the joy it brings, that’s what it’s all about. It’s more than just a game; it’s about giving back and making a real difference.”

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CLEVELAND, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH), the global leader in motion and control technologies, has released its fiscal year 2024 Sustainability Report. The latest edition highlights how Parker is leading the way to a better tomorrow as its team members enable engineering breakthroughs that advance clean technologies, create efficiencies that reduce emissions and other environmental impacts, take action to keep one another safe and help strengthen their local communities.

    Additionally, the report showcases Parker’s portfolio of interconnected technologies, which align closely with its six key market verticals fueled by electrification and other emerging secular trends. As a strategic partner in the global shift to a more sustainable future, Parker helps customers worldwide achieve their carbon reduction targets and create additional value for end users.

    Key achievements detailed in the FY24 Sustainability Report include:

    • Developing Clean Technologies: Parker partners with its customers to help solve the world’s most complex engineering challenges such as cleaner technologies, advancements in automation and increasing regulatory standards.
