Scott will be responsible for leading W Energy Software’s engineering organization, accelerating innovation with the agile development methodology, and rapidly integrating newly acquired technologies with W Energy Software’s ERP architecture. The announcement follows recent news that W Energy Software is experiencing accelerated growth across upstream and midstream markets and has expanded its broad product footprint with the acquisition of Chorus Logistics, underscoring the need to adapt organizationally and bolster the company’s ability to innovate as the velocity of growth continues to increase.

“I would like to welcome Scott to the W Energy Software family, who joins the executive team as our new VP of Software Engineering, where he brings to us an extensive background in the ERP information landscape, building and transforming mission-critical software,” said Pete Waldroop, CEO of W Energy Software. “Scott is an expert at aligning technology and business strategy; leading high-performing technology teams; delivering exceptional digital client experiences and running resilient, high-volume, enterprise class systems, allowing W Energy software to sustain a high level of digital oilfield innovation,” Waldroop commented. “W Energy Software continues to have great momentum and rapid growth on all fronts, which is why we needed someone of Scott’s caliber to take the software engineering helm, accelerate innovation delivery even more, respond faster to customers, and build on W Energy Software’s energy ERP market leadership with new and emerging product lines, including measurement, transportation management, and energy trading,” he stated.

Scott brings over 15 years of enterprise software development and leadership experience to W Energy Software. As a champion of agile software development and metrics driven engineering, he is responsible for helming W Energy Software’s SaaS ERP architecture, managing the software engineering team, and spearheading acquisition integrations. Before joining the W Energy Software management team, Scott was senior director of software Engineering at Insight Software, the leading provider of financial reporting solutions, where he led the company’s initiative to scale the engineering factory and successfully integrated 8 acquisitions in 90 days while consistently producing on-target and on-time releases across multiple product lines supporting more than 25,000 enterprises. Scott also held senior software engineering and management positions at Global Software where he directed the product development vision to support rapid growth, modernized the development organization with agile/scrum processes, and nurtured a top-performing development team that met every delivery milestone and release target.

“W Energy Software’s ERP cloud platform, its go-to-market strategy, and rapidly growing market share are truly compelling and are a driving force behind my decision to join this team. It’s an honor to be part of a team that has created tremendous momentum fueled by relentless innovation” said Scott Bickford, W Energy Software’s new Vice President of Software Engineering. “I look forward to collaborating with cross-functional teams internally, and with clients to ensure technology investments are aligned with business requirements to create the best customer experience as well as further improve engineering operations, processes, velocity, and quality. By bolstering an already outstanding engineering team with agile development strategies, W Energy Software will accelerate innovation further and build new capabilities to rapidly deliver solutions that delight and inspire,” he said.

W Energy Software continues to rapidly grow its market share in upstream and midstream oil & gas ERP with significant growth among enterprises who manage large asset portfolios, including Phillips 66, Laredo Petroleum, Riverbend Energy Group, and Killam Oil Company. Scott’s pedigree in managing enterprise software development at scale positions W Energy Software to confidently extend its market share further as even the largest energy companies transition from legacy software and big box ERP solutions to W Energy Software’s unified SaaS platform that spans accounting, land, production, regulatory, and midstream workflows in one cost-effective ERP.

Viewpoint Creative and the Door Launch Digital Content Series for Leary Firefighters Foundation’s 9/11 Remembrance

PR powerhouse The Door and award-winning content production studio Viewpoint Creative, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLPN), have once again joined forces with the Leary Firefighters’ Foundation. This latest venture is to create and distribute content commemorating 9/11 and the 20 years since the attacks.

More than a tribute to the heroes who fell that day, the content recognizes “Legacy Firefighters,” who continue to struggle with the fallout, and how the FDNY has improved systems and processes based on the events of 9/11.

The Door’s team developed the 9/11 campaign rollout strategy for maximum impact.

“We are growing the community between fire departments and the public, driving awareness and support for the foundation. This digital marketing campaign continues our efforts to build an understanding about the remarkable jobs our first responders do,” says Brittany Resnick, Executive Director of Social Media at The Door.

Viewpoint Creative developed and executed a robust series of short content for this initiative. These videos featured firefighters from FDNY and around the world, as well as Leary Firefighters Foundation Board members speaking about the importance of the organization’s work. These are emotional stories about the lasting impact of 9/11, and the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood that form between all generations of firefighters. It also includes a series of short graphic firefighter factoids.

David Shilale, Director of the series and Executive Producer for Viewpoint remarked, “First, let me say how privileged and honored we feel to be back working with firefighters, Denis and the Foundation. This content is all about engaging viewers and telling stories that have not been heard before. We want viewers to feel what a firefighter’s job is all about and illustrate the dedication and sacrifice made by our first responders.”

FDNY Battalion Chief and Secretary and LFF Board member, David Morkal, commented: “This content series celebrates firefighters across the country, and around the globe. It reminds people that our world is different since 9/11, and at the same time illustrates the dedication and comradery that exists amongst firefighters everywhere.”

The video content will include LFF Board members Rachael Ray, Brian Williams, Mark Bezos and Denis Leary himself, as well as other LFF Board members, Foundation grantee recipients and firefighters from around the globe.

The series can be viewed on Leary Firefighters Foundation social channels.

Previous collaborations between LFF, The Door and Viewpoint Creative include the award-winning short documentary series, The Worcester 6: Heroes Remembered, a five-episode series honoring the six Worcester Firefighters lost during the 1999 Cold Storage Fire, which was accepted into over 19 film festivals and won Best Documentary Short in the Adirondack Film Festival, Finalist: The New York International Film Awards, Film Miami Fest / Best Shorts Worldwide and Toronto Shorts International Film Festival, Award of Excellence: The IndieFest Awards, Award of Excellence Special Mention: Documentary Short in The Impact DOC Awards, Semi-Finalist: Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival and Dumbo Film Festival.

The Leary Firefighters Foundation was established in 2000 by actor Denis Leary in response to a tragic fire in Worcester, Massachusetts that claimed the lives of Denis’ cousin, a childhood friend, and four other firefighters. The Leary Firefighters Foundation’s mission is to provide funding and resources for Fire Departments to obtain the best available equipment, technology and training. The Foundation is dedicated to helping maintain the highest level of public safety in the communities we serve.

New tech startup, Normal, receives investment from the Silicon Valley to empower businesses with a robo-consultant

Normal’s automated, smart recommender system will help micro, small, and medium-size enterprises (MSMEs) become more profitable while becoming more sustainable

As the Covid-19 pandemic and global warming continue to impact the world, Normal is building a digital platform that allows MSMEs to modernize their operations and implement sustainable and profitable growth.

With the help of their fully automated “robo-consultant”, small business owners finally have access to tailored, expert advice without the hefty price tag that usually comes with human consultants. An MSME owner simply logs into the platform, shares some information about how their company is set up, and then sees recommended actions they can take to achieve their goals. Each potential action focuses on solving real challenges the owner is facing and is broken down into easy-to-follow steps that guide them throughout the entire implementation process. By prioritizing smart industry initiatives with sustainability as a result rather than a focal point, Normal helps small companies overcome the dilemma between driving profits versus becoming more sustainable.

The collective impact of small companies is massive, and often underestimated. Given the right support, the more than 350 million small businesses around the globe will play a leading role in achieving the United Nation’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. With MSMEs comprising 93% of the global economy and emitting over 50% of the global pollution, the founders of Normal realized that large-scale automation is the most promising solution for achieving significant and lasting positive impact on small businesses before the end of this decade.

As Normal co-founder Adrian Finzelberg says, “Most people focus on the sustainability of large corporations as the biggest hurdle to overcome climate change.” His co-founder David Aguirre adds, “But the real challenge is to reach and support the millions of local shops and services that need help changing their ways.”

Normal just received its first investment from an influential leader in Silicon Valley to develop its unique software platform and is now inviting more impact- and technology-focused investors to join the Pre-Seed round and help implement widescale economic, social, and environmental progress among MSMEs.

For more details and press-related inquiries, please reach out to press@normal.business.

About Normal
Founded in 2020 by co-founders, Adrian Finzelberg, Beate Czarnecki, David Aguirre, and Marcelo Leopoldino, Normal is on a mission to change the way business is done.

WISESOLUTION Provides Interactive Data Visualization Solution MODL

– MODL, quick and easy solution that provides customized visualization of data at user’s convenience – A Big Leap: becoming an all-in-one solutions provider, from data collecting to data refinement, and eventually user-friendly visualization

Numbers of industries are attracted by data-related solution service providers, that collect and analyze any data in real-time through crawling the web pages and visualize the extracted data into an interactive dashboard. A company called WISE SOLUTION(Co-CEOs Jang, Sung-Sik and Yoon, Jae-Deok), a 4-year-old such service providing startup located in Korea’s one of the great IT startups incubating centres, Digital Content Company Growth Support Center (DC Center) hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT (Minister Lim, Hyesook) and operated by National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA, President Kim, Chang Yeong) and Next-Generation Convergence Contents Industry Association(NCIA), is adding new value to data utilization with its newly launched B2B service; MODL.

WISE SOLUTION is a data collecting and visualization service provider. They have built their own data crawling solution called NETAR and have been building their skillset to another level in consumer panels’ and social media platforms’ data refinement industry. The company services the data visualization solution called MODL, which helps the clients and/or users to understand their data quick and easy.

As the 4th industrial revolution accelerates, the industries in smart factories and digital transformation started to focus on data analyzing and refining solutions, as well as MODL for its remarkable user-friendly visualization function. “When visualizing the data with other solutions, people face difficulties. They would have to learn to use the solution.” said Jang, the co-CEO, and added, “To minimize those difficulties, we developed the solution MODL so people without expertise can visualize the extracted data quick and easy.”

Using graphs and tables is much more effective than numbers and text when it comes to data. One of the reasons MODL is gaining vast popularity across the country is because it can deliver the value of data with impactful interactive visualization content. MODL enhances the utilization of the data via visualization functions such as dashboards and charts under industry and/or field categories, as well as interactive storytelling content. Users only need to simply click, drag, and drop to get the data refined. Also, the dashboards, charts and other datasets can be customized easily, and it wouldn’t even have to be the developers to do so.

MODL allows users to visualize any statistical data, such as production, sales, operation, electricity usage, stock inventory, and a number of visitors, etc., on the web browser without installing any program or mobile application. Also, the pages can be categorized for staff group and/or individual pages, so the teams can use MODL as a cooperation tool for team projects.

Wolverine and the Ram Truck Brand Celebrate Labor Day and Support SkillsUSA

A donation from each item pre-ordered will go to SkillsUSA to build trade, technical and skilled service training programs

To celebrate the skilled trades this Labor Day, Wolverine and Ram Trucks have collaborated on the new “Wolverine x Ram” line of work boots, built in the U.S.A. and inspired by the iconic details of Ram Trucks. To support the next generation of skilled workers, Wolverine and Ram are donating $10 to SkillsUSA for every pre-order for the new line. Wolverine and Ram Trucks are new official partners to SkillsUSA and, in addition to this campaign, they pledge to support SkillsUSA year-round and grow their partnerships.

“SkillsUSA is a nonprofit, national education organization that is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce,” said Chelle Travis, Executive Director at SkillsUSA. “We are thankful to have partners like Wolverine and Ram Trucks who believe in our mission to build our nation’s next skilled workforce. Together, we can empower students to develop the personal, workplace and technical skills to succeed in work and in life.”

The collection is available now for pre-order at http://www.wolverine.com/US/en/ram-trucks/, and will also be featured at select Boot Barn locations across California and Texas, as well as BootBarn.com and Ram Truck Store by Amazon in October.

“We are proud to partner with Ram Trucks, an industry leading brand, to honor essential workers and the excellent career opportunities the skilled trades offer,” said Tom Kennedy, global brand president for Wolverine Footwear and Apparel. “Since 2017, Wolverine has donated more than $2 million toward supporting the next generation of skilled workers and we’re excited to be working with another brand that is equally passionate about investing in the future of the American workforce.”

To commence the collaboration, the teams have launched a new 60-second video, “Rent We Pay,” in partnership with Sheet Metal Arts. The video spans across digital and social media, including Ram Trucks’ official YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter channels. Set to a custom song written for the Ram brand, the video honors hard-working Americans in the skilled trades.
