We are also delighted to announce we have already deployed our first store, "Blades", a fashion store that has been riding with skaters from Washington Square Park to the world at large for more than two decades.

    Yappn's WGE application is a Microsoft Azure® cloud recurring fee based software-as-a-service (SaaS) deliverable that is a combination of a native Magento® extension and a cloud-based real-time service and portal enabling E-tailers to expand their reach into up to 67 different languages simply and easily through an automated extension install without any development or computer programming experience required on the users part.   The Windrose Magento® extension allows online stores to be viewed in multiple languages without the creation of additional Magento® storefronts, making marketing, sales and support seamless and easy to both the customer and vendor.

    Yappn's WGE Application is available in specific individual languages, or in combined language packs, along with online robust client portal features that allows, among other features, customized translation lexicons, industry specific terms, common domain and contextual libraries, management of "do not translate" lists, marketing, social media and customer care features, as well as analytics. The Windrose Magento® extension and Client Portal will enable vendors to create and maintain an ongoing enhanced, respectful customer experience for global online e-tailing without the need to add a team to support the addition of the languages. This creates a global experience for both the vendor and customer in an efficient and effective environment, enabling complete scale of all online multilingual activities.

    The WGE Platform & Framework has been developed to seamlessly integrate with the industry's leading online commerce vendors, partner programs, agencies and custom store developers, creating a single platform for major organizations to "plug into", allowing customization for each system for the "last mile" being the technology between WGE and the online store or system. Yappn's focus on a foundational framework, rather than individual systems and partners provides a more comprehensive, scalable approach to global integration with companies around the world.

  • Asylum Review Block: More Z170 aka Skylake Goodness

    I'm sure by now many of you have heard about damaged Skylake processors due to Intel's aggressive cost cutting efforts.  Sadly, I too was pwned by the shoddy proc by simply installing it incorrectly.  No it didn't break the CPU socket but it did bend all four corners and that was only with pressure from the retention flapper metal thing.

    Despite this, Skylake is good and people should consider it when upgrading from LGA 775 or any AMD solution.  Here are some reviews to help confuse matters.

    Web Reviews
    - ECS Z170-CLAYMORE (Intel LGA-1151) @ techPowerUp
    - MSI Z170A SLI PLUS motherboard review @ Guru3D
    - GIGABYTE Z170-HD3 Review; DDR3 & Skylake @ Hardware Canucks
    - Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 Motherboard Review: All Bases Covered at Modders-Inc
    - Gigabyte's Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboard reviewed @ TechReport
    - ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 GAMING K6+ (Intel LGA-1151) @ techPowerUp
    - GIGABYTE Z170X-Gaming 7 Review @ Vortez

    Funny thing, a year ago I was actually buried in Haswell based motherboards to review first with Z87 and later Z97 with the launch of Devils Canyon.  It would seem just the opposite is happening with Z170.  Not good.

    Of course this mini rant is brought to you by the #wherethehellisskylake movement where we ask the question, "Who did we piss off this time?"

  • ORTEC TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS RECOGNIZED IN GARTNER'S MARKET GUIDE FOR VEHICLE ROUTING AND SCHEDULING

    ATLANTA, Dec. 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORTEC has received recognition from Gartner in the Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling for ORTEC Routing and ORTEC Routing for SAP. Gartner announced that "vehicle routing and scheduling is a mature market, going back over 25 years. The market is in transition, with new, more-robust, more-flexible and broader solutions emerging. While most midsize to large fleets have likely had solutions in place for over a decade, emerging VRS solutions have new capabilities that will enhance fleet operations, and this evolution is leading to a replacement market." (1)

    According to Bart De Muynck, author of Gartner's Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling, "The market's vendors are not only offering vehicle routing software, but also related services such as transportation modeling, load building and real-time visibility." Gartner recommends reviewing vendors for functionality offered, industries covered and geographical presence when assessing VRS solutions." ORTEC meets all functionality requirements in Gartner's assessment.

    "Analysts, academics and business chiefs all recognize that supply chain leaders must merge the "science" of supply chain technologies with the "art" of processes, talent and metrics," stated ORTEC Executive Partner Bobby Miller. "We are proud to deliver measurable business value by understanding specific industries business processes and providing our industry expertise, which is unmatched."

    In the 2015 Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduling, ORTEC delivers in every category and every box measured by Gartner including functionality, platform, geographic presence and industry coverage.

    Gartner's Market Recommendations

    • Look into emerging VRS capabilities and investigate the opportunity for adoption or replacement.
    • Fully assess your requirements, especially in the areas of route optimization, because this will narrow down the specific vendors to consider.
    • Review vendors for functionality offered, industries covered and geographical presence when assessing VRS solutions.
    • Consider additional capabilities offered by the vendors to increase route planning and execution efficiencies, and improve customer service. The current capacity crunch in the transportation industry and productivity challenges fleets are facing due to new regulations require companies to find new ways to operate more efficiently. Technology is one way to address these challenges and contribute to a more efficient fleet operation.

    Marketplace Demands Real-time Transparency and Flexibility

    "We recognize that the industry is moving away from siloed thinking and embracing the opportunities of integrated routing, load building, and inventory management," stated Goos Kant, ORTEC Senior Director for Industry Solutions. "There is tremendous need for real-time transparency and flexibility, e.g., by sharing up-to-date delivery information towards both customers and management, to improve service and optimize the end-to-end supply chain.We are honored that Gartner has recognized ORTEC for in the Market Guide for our vehicle routing and scheduling technology and in the July 2015 Hype Cycle for Supply Chain Execution as a Sample Vendor in the Real-Time (Mobile-Synchronized) Route Optimization category."
