Dental Whale Chooses Sunbit as Preferred Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Technology Partner

November 29, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Sunbit is endorsed by Dental Whale for use by its 19,000 affiliated dental practices across the U.S.

Industry trailblazer Dental Whale®, which continues to successfully steer dentists in private practice toward better and more efficient business solutions, today announced it has selected Sunbit as its preferred Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution. Dental Whale is the nation’s leading solutions provider for 19,000+ private dentists and dental support organizations (DSO), providing marketing, scheduling, repair, equipment and technology solutions to improve their practices. Effective today, Dental Whale will recommend Sunbit to all of the dental practices across the U.S. that the company supports.

Dental Whale Leader, Joe Cavarett said, “When we experienced how Sunbit generated increased case acceptance and scheduled treatment for our own Practice Group patients, we wanted to share their financing solution with our members and their patients. Every patient deserves to be given a comprehensive treatment plan and financing options. Sunbit helps practices support the oral health of more patients.”

Sunbit has rapidly become the de facto BNPL leader in the dental industry, with a broad spectrum of patients approved with excellent terms and no hidden fees. Moreover, Sunbit powers the application process and manages the collections process. The dental office gets paid immediately, which contributes directly to the cash flow of the business.    

Based on its own Sunbit pilot program at select locations, Dental Whale confirmed that Sunbit offers access to best-in-class approval rates, terms, and support for dental leaders and their patients. Sunbit offers access to financing for dental procedures with 6, 12, 18 and 24 month payment plan options, and 85% of patients who apply using Sunbit technology are approved. All well-qualified patients get access to 0% for 6- or 12-month payment plans.

“We piloted Sunbit at two of the Dental Whale locations, and we were amazed — in the first 90 days, their technology approved 87% of patients, helping us generate $126K in additional production,“ said Dr. Steven Wingfield, DMD & Practice Management Focus Area Leader at Dental Whale. “Our patient financing approval rates have doubled with Sunbit. Not to mention the extremely fast approval process, which enables us to fulfill more treatment plans and provide a better experience for the patients and staff. We are excited to extend the program to all of our locations,” he added.

Sunbit is proving that Buy Now, Pay Later offers dental practices a valuable new option for dental care financing and access. Sunbit removes the friction from the financing process to make it a closing tool instead of a pain point for patients — reducing embarrassing declines, scrambling for financing alternatives, and treatment delays.

“Dental Whale is a market stand out, and we couldn’t be more excited about their decision,” said Paul Monahan, Executive Director of Business Development, Dental at Sunbit. “We feel like there is significant synergy between our organizations, from Dental Whale’s white glove approach to client support, to its proven ability to benefit a practice’s bottom line, to its philosophy and mission. Today is an exciting first step in what we hope is a long-standing relationship,” he added.

Christie adds immersive touch to the new museum dedicated to Portugal’s most famous cyclist

November 25, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Laser projectors and large format LCD panels bring audiovisual experiences to life

Joaquim Agostinho, the best Portuguese cyclist of all time, now has his own museum in the municipality of Torres Vedras (district of Lisbon). The recently opened museum offers several audiovisual experiences powered by Christie® 1DLP® laser projectors and LCD panels. The equipment was integrated by Luzeiro, Halogéneo and ADLC Audiovisuais, working with the distributor Total AV, who chose Christie’s solutions because of their “quality, reliability and performance.”

A national hero in Portugal, Joaquim Agostinho’s sporting career spanned 16 years, between 1968 and 1984, winning all Portugal cycling races and eventually joining the international circuit, which included 13 stints in the Tour de France. He passed away in 1984 after an accident during the Volta ao Algarve. Before his cycling career, he served with the Portuguese army in Angola and Mozambique, where he delivered messages on bicycle because he was able to ride 50 kilometres in two hours where it took other soldiers five.

The new Museu do Ciclismo Joaquim Agostinho, located in Torres Vedras, the cyclist’s hometown, was conceived to preserve Agostinho’s memory and to promote cycling as a sport and as a social activity. The museum is divided into several different spaces for temporary and permanent exhibitions and displaying Agostinho’s memorabilia and information as well as those from other cyclists from Torres Vedras.

The modern interactive museum boasts a variety of multimedia content. “The client was looking for a dynamic museum and not an interpretation centre, so that’s why it was so important to have a striking visual and interactive component that could be regularly modified to keep it alive and attractive,” explained Vitor Paiva from Luzeiro.

The temporary exhibition called Um Outro Lado da Bicicleta (The Other Side of the Bicycle), on view through the end of the 2022, is proving to be one of the museum’s biggest attractions. This show features an immersive projection on a 14-meter curved screen using 12 Christie DWU630-GS 1DLP® laser technology projectors with 6750 lumens and WUXGA resolution.

“This projection, an overview of the various uses of the bicycle over the course of history, immerses visitors in the audiovisuals and makes them feel part of the story told in the videos,” pointed out Vanessa Oliveira, the museologist at Museu do Joaquim Agostinho. “In that regard, the projection is much more dynamic than other visualization technologies like LED,” she added.

For Vitor Paiva, from Luzeiro, the chosen projectors “are perfect for working 12/24. We are particularly pleased with the high levels of contrast ensured by Christie RealBlack™ technology as well as the Zoom lens and the compact size of the projectors. It’s just what we were looking for in this project.”

In addition, the museum also uses another two DWU630-GS for blending in the auditorium as well as a Christie D20HD-HS for the museum’s outdoor space. “This 1DLP® laser model with 18,500 lumens and HD resolution has built-in Christie BoldColor technology which guarantees intense, life-like images with high levels of brightness,” explained Luis Carmo of Total AV.

Meanwhile, the permanent exhibition called 53:11 Esforço e Glória (53:11 Suffering and Glory) explores the evolution of cycling and the sport’s different forms and events, its heroes and the memories of fanatic followers of the big cycling races. It also includes a core section dedicated to the life and sporting history of Joaquim Agostinho, underscoring his triumphs, adventures and memories.

For this exhibition, the museum used various Christie large format LCD panels, the UHD751-P and UHD861-P models. “They are really reliable displays that produce striking, highly attractive images for their large size (75 and 86 inches respectively). The fact they have 4K UHD resolution was another decisive factor in making our choice,” revealed Luís Rodrigues, CEO of Halogéneo.

The museum is delighted with the Christie solutions: “The truth is that they are a wonderful resource for the museum, and fulfil our needs exactly, adding incredible dynamic color to our exhibition rooms. Another big plus is just how easy they are to operate for our staff and the little maintenance they require,” claimed Vanessa Oliveira. “On that note, I would also praise Total AV’s really helpful maintenance support and their total cooperation whenever we need them,” she added.

Vitor Paiva, from Luzeiro, also wished to underline the work of Total AV and Luis Carmo as Christie’s distributor in Portugal: “From day one, Luis and his team were completely on board with the project, initially in the pre-sale phase and then helping us make the right choice of equipment for the optimum functioning of the museum to the standards of quality demanded by the client, and finally, during the installation, where they played a critical role in the technical support and back-up.”

PRELOADED and Save the Children win at the Learning Technologies Awards 2021

November 19, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

In 90 Days, the learning game developed by PRELOADED, Save the Children and World Vision, has clinched one of the Best Learning Game awards at the Learning Technologies Awards 2021.

In 90 Days, the learning game developed by PRELOADED, Save the Children and World Vision, has won the bronze award for Best Learning Game at the Learning Technologies Awards 2021.

The Learning Technologies Awards represent a huge network of talent and ingenuity and recognise the commitment, enthusiasm and passion for learning technologies across the world.

“It’s an honour to have this project recognised by Learning Technologies,” said Phil Stuart, Founder and Creative Director of PRELOADED. “It’s great to see quality, consumer-grade games being recognised within the L&D space, particularly when created to help with humanitarian efforts across the world.”

Tim Carpenter, Learning Solutions Specialist, Humanitarian Leadership Academy, Save the Children UK previously commented: “Working with the PRELOADED team was a very positive experience. They were professional, solutions-focused, and very hard working, which resulted in our ability to fold a wealth of humanitarian and learning and development content into an engaging and impactful game. I am pleased to have partnered with PRELOADED and feel proud of the product we have created together.”

Developed by PRELOADED as part of a global L&D effort from Save the Children and World Vision, In 90 Days is a serious learning game that explores the scenarios, trade-off dilemmas and challenging decisions that field managers face while responding to crises, helping them train to effectively lead humanitarian emergencies.

Investment in early preparedness has proved to reduce the costs of humanitarian action by more than 50% (UNICEF) – saving lives by facilitating swifter responses.

Yet traditional, linear e-learning doesn’t provide a stepping stone between the training material and the field. In 90 Days is a mobile game designed to provide field managers with a safe space to learn, fail and develop situational skills – to be equipped for what they will face practically and emotionally during an emergency response.

You can download the game via Kaya Connect and read the full list of Learning Technologies 2021 award winners here.

Betterworks to Host Empower HR Virtual Summit December 1st and 2nd

November 18, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Event to Feature Keynote Speaker, Indra Nooyi, Former CEO and Chairman, PepsiCo

Betterworks announced it will be hosting Empower HR, a virtual summit, featuring Indra Nooyi, former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of PepsiCo, as the keynote speaker. The two-day event, December 1st and 2nd, focuses on the theme of “Lead from Anywhere. Succeed Everywhere” and includes notable panelists, eleven sessions and several giveaways.

Indra Nooyi helped grow PepsiCo’s revenue from $35 billion, when she became CEO, to $63 billion in 2017. She will discuss what true, transformational leadership looks like today, how we can leverage innovation in the face of uncertainty, and how we can best prepare our future leaders. Registrants also will have the chance to win a copy of her book, “My Life in Full: Work, Family and Our Future” as well as John Doerr’s “Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis”.

According to the 2021 Deloitte Global Resilience Report, Chief Experience Officers (CXOs) who noted that their organizations cultivated resilient cultures were approximately three times more likely to have navigated 2020 successfully than those lacking resiliency. Empower HR will provide valuable insight and effective practices to enhance the employee experience, boost performance management, foster a strong company culture and strengthen an organization’s ability to pivot quickly, ensuring viability, and marketplace competitiveness.

Panelists include: Doug Dennerline, CEO and Chairman of Betterworks; Amy Cappellanti-Wolf, Chief Human Resources Officer, Cohesity; Melissa Daimler, Chief Learning Officer, Udemy; Josh Bersin, global analyst and CEO, The Josh Bersin Company; John Doerr, Chairman, Kleiner Perkins; Arnaud Grunwald, Chief Product Officer, Betterworks; Andrea Lagan, Chief Operating Officer, Betterworks; Susan Lovegren, EVP, CHRO and Advisory Board Member; Anne Fulton, CEO & Founder, Fuel50; and Diane Adams, Chief Culture and Talent Officer, Sprinklr.

“Although our summit is called EmpowerHR, this event will provide actionable advice for all leaders,” said Doug Dennerline, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman at Betterworks. “CEOs and HR will learn to better identify and maximize opportunities to enhance employee engagement, sharpen performance management by utilizing partnerships, tools and integrations, and fine-tune strategies and alignment to reach goals more efficiently and increase return on investment.”

“This summit is a must for organizations that experienced high attrition during the pandemic,” said Amy Cappellanti-Wolf, Chief Human Resources Officer, Cohesity. “There has never been a more critical time to retool learning and career development efforts to ensure that a new generation of managers can succeed, and their teams thrive and grow, now and in the future.”

Now is the perfect time to lay the foundation for a stronger, more resilient, and productive organization in 2022. For more information on EmpowerHR, please visit https://events.betterworks.com/empower-hr. Save your seat today for this not-to-be-missed event.
