Inntopia Recognized in OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work 2015
Published: Monday, November 16, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswireStowe, Vermont, Nov. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inntopia has been named as one of OUTSIDE’s Best Places to Work 2015. Each year, OUTSIDE recognizes the top 100 companies in the United States that help their employees strike the ideal balance between work and play. These companies encourage employees to lead an active lifestyle, are eco-conscious, and prioritize giving back to the community.
We are thrilled to have been awarded this recognition by OUTSIDE Magazine,” said Craig Deluca, COO of Inntopia. “Inntopia has a simple formula: start by hiring special people who want to create something extraordinary. Then do everything possible to unleash their full potential. Good pay and benefits, free snacks, beer-Friday, and flexibility are cool, but the ‘special sauce’ is trust, respect, camaraderie, challenging work, personal and professional growth, and achievement. Nurture your people and they will create amazing business results."
“The companies recognized in this year’s Best Places to Work list are the gold standard for stellar work environments that seek to empower their employees both in and out of the office,” said OUTSIDE Online Editor Scott Rosenfield. “The new categories in this year’s list serve to highlight outstanding workplaces in distinctive fields—making it all the easier for our readers to find their dream jobs.”
With Inntopia’s headquarters located in the picturesque resort town of Stowe, Vermont, the bulk of the employees also reap the benefits of its setting. Lunch time more often than not is spent enjoying walks, hikes, runs, or bike rides. In the winter time, employees turn to cross-country skiing at Trapp Family Lodge, fat biking on the Stowe Rec Path, and alpine skiing at Stowe Mountain Resort, all only minutes outside the door. Inntopia employees (and their families) are eligible for generous benefits packages, including health and wellness, dental, and vision plans. A 401K plan, to which Inntopia contributes a match, is also offered.
“We wish to thank OUTSIDE Magazine for recognizing companies like Inntopia, companies who care deeply about their colleagues, and who are committed to creating environments where people can thrive personally and professionally. We hope it will inspire other companies to act similarly,” said Deluca.
To find the best places to work in the United States in 2015, OUTSIDE started by creating five company categories that reflect the magazine’s values and focus: Adventure/Travel, Wellness, Culture, Gear, and Media. OUTSIDE then conducted a rigorous vetting process in partnership with the Best Companies Group to assess the policies, practices, and demographics of hundreds of companies. Outside’s Best Places to Work 2015 was driven by employee reviews of their workplaces, taking into account factors such as corporate culture, role satisfaction, work environment, and overall employee engagement. The Best Places to Work list represents the cream of the crop: companies that are empowering their employees to live bigger, better lives.
The complete list of Best Places to Work winners is featured online at www.outsideonline.com/2034286/100-best-places-work-2015.

The Top Places to Work 2015 issue was published online at BostonGlobe.com/topplaces last Thursday and appeared in The Boston Globe Magazine yesterday.
Top Places to Work recognizes the most admired workplaces in the state voted on by the people who know them the best—the employees. The survey measures employee opinions about their company's direction, execution, connection, management, work, pay and benefits, and engagement. The employers are placed into one of four groups: small, with 50 to 99 employees; medium, with 100 to 249 workers; large, with 250 to 999; and largest, with 1,000 or more.
PatientKeeper, which is headquartered in Waltham, currently has 167 employees. The company provides more than 60,000 physicians nationwide with an intuitive way to view and act on patient information.
"Our organization has experienced significant growth and change over the years, culminating in last year's acquisition by HCA," Mike Southern, PatientKeeper's vice president of human resources, said. "The way in which our new parent company and existing leadership team have come together to embrace the best parts of PatientKeeper and enhance those with the best parts of HCA is unprecedented. It's great to know that our employees feel the same way."
"The success of a company is not only measured by its revenue and profits, but also by the loyalty and satisfaction of its employees," said Katie Johnston, Boston Globe workplace reporter and Top Places to Work editor. "The winning companies have developed innovative ways to engage and motivate their workers, which often serves as a key factor in innovation and leads to better professional performance."
The rankings in the Top Places to Work are based on confidential survey information collected by WorkplaceDynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, from nearly 77,000 individuals at 357 Massachusetts organizations. The winners share a few key traits, including offering progressive benefits, giving their employees a voice, and encouraging them to have some fun while they're at it.

Deloitte Names Varonis One of the Fastest Growing Tech Companies in North America
Published: Friday, November 13, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswireNEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today announced that it has been recognized as one of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™ list. During the period of 2011-2014 Varonis' revenues grew 154.8%.
Yaki Faitelson, Varonis Co-Founder and CEO, said, "We began more than a decade ago developing software to enable organizations to manage and protect their human-generated data, which we saw growing exponentially in terms of volume, importance and sensitivity. We have grown rapidly because Varonis solutions address an ever-expanding set of use cases, especially in helping to prevent data leakage from cyber attacks. It has since become clear that organizations cannot reverse or even slow the trend of cybersecurity disasters – which threaten their ability to conduct business – without having Varonis as a core component of their infrastructure."
Organizations store massive quantities of unstructured data – files, emails, spreadsheets, presentations – comprising some of their most valuable and sensitive information assets. These assets are frequently stolen in high-profile breaches, either by insiders who abuse their access or by outsiders who compromise insiders' credentials. Varonis has helped thousands of customers protect their unstructured data, through analyzing user activity with files and emails, permissions and file system metadata, as well as file content.
The company recently released the newest version of the industry-leading Varonis Metadata Framework platform, Varonis 6.2.5. The newest release includes major enhancements that represent the most advanced analytics and predictive threat models available to help organizations stem the rising tide of data breaches. Specifically, it protects organizations against breaches that are caused or exacerbated by previously undetected insider access and behavior, such as compromise of privileged accounts and privilege abuse.
"Amid a fierce business climate, there seems to be no shortage of new and established companies that are unlocking a seemingly unlimited potential for growth and advancement through technology's continued disruption and proliferation across industries," said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. "It is inspiring to witness the innovative ways that companies are incorporating emerging technologies for business gains, be it cognitive computing or the Internet of Things. We congratulate all those ranked on this year's Fast 500 and look forward to seeing their continued growth into 2016."
"Through the efforts and utilization of new and emerging technologies from these companies, we are witnessing greater business demands from across almost all industries," added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
About Deloitte's 2015 Technology Fast 500™

ConnectWise® Empowers Enterprise Cloud Migration Management With CloudConsole™
Published: Friday, November 13, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswireTAMPA, Fla., Nov. 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ConnectWise, which transforms how technology solution providers successfully build, manage and grow their businesses, today announced its new cloud service management, monitoring and billing tool, ConnectWise CloudConsole. The solution enables technology solution providers to remain proactive in managing their systems when moving to the cloud.
ConnectWise developed CloudConsole because it saw a growing concern among technology solution providers about the management and billing of services as they moved from on-premise systems to the cloud.
“While on-premise systems are controlled, managed and maintained by technology solution providers, the cloud is not, and losing control of that can be concerning,” said Craig Fulton, general manager of ConnectWise Business Suite. “CloudConsole gives our partners a competitive advantage by enabling them to monitor and manage their cloud services with the same control as on-premise systems.”
CEO Arnie Bellini, who introduced ConnectWise CloudConsole during his keynote address at IT Nation 2015, also announced that the family of ConnectWise products and its related businesses are now consolidated into a single ConnectWise company and brand. The new organizational structure builds on the commitment to continually evolve the company in a way that furthers its mission to provide its partners with expansive, innovative and scalable solutions that drive efficiency and create revenue opportunities.
“We want our partners to understand that we’re a partner for life, and we’re committed to delivering the comprehensive, scalable solutions they need to ensure future success,” Bellini said. “With our new structure, we know we can deliver on our commitment.”
Now available in its beta version, ConnectWise CloudConsole will be available free to ConnectWise partners for a limited time, with general release scheduled for early 2016. Currently covering Microsoft Office365, ConnectWise will continue to expand the cloud-enabled applications managed by the offering.

35 agencies purchase Spillman, 75 expand systems in Q3 of 2015
Published: Thursday, November 12, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswireSALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thirty-five public safety agencies purchased software from Spillman Technologies for the first time during the third quarter of 2015, joining more than 1,500 agencies of all sizes across the country already using Spillman software. In addition to these new agencies, 75 existing customer agencies expanded their Spillman systems by purchasing additional modules.
Petersburg Borough Police Department in Alaska has purchased Spillman's CompStat Management Dashboard, Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), and Jail Management software. Agency personnel will use Spillman's CAD module to manage and respond to incoming calls more efficiently. Because the system is fully integrated, users will have quick access to all necessary data. Using the CAD and Jail Management modules together will reduce the likelihood of duplicating records and will simplify data entry, creating a faster and more convenient experience for agency personnel. The agency will use Spillman's CompStat Management Dashboard to detect and analyze any trends in the system data, allowing the agency's administration to make informed decisions to improve public safety throughout their community. Petersburg Borough PD is the seventh agency in Alaska to sign on with Spillman.
In Wyoming, Campbell County Sheriff's Office expanded its existing Spillman system to include Spillman's Mobile Voiceless CAD. Using this module, the agency will be able to access vital, real-time call information without using radio communication, freeing up airtime for high-priority calls. The module will enable personnel to create and manage call information, as well as update their unit statuses, directly from their laptop computers. Using Mobile Voiceless CAD, Campbell County personnel can quickly access call time logs for record keeping or reporting without requiring assistance from dispatch.
Elite Task Force, a security and investigation company based in Rutherford, N.J., purchased Spillman's cloud software solution, Spillman Nova. This web-based solution provides smaller law enforcement agencies and all security companies with the ability to create and manage all name, property, offense, vehicle, incident, and arrest records from any Internet-enabled device. Using Nova, Elite will no longer need a physical database to maintain and run its dispatch center, saving the company money and manpower. Nova will also save the agency time with its easy-to-use reporting tools, which will allow personnel to run the statistical reports their clients need.
Spillman Technologies serves more than 1,500 sheriff's offices, police departments, communication centers, correctional facilities, fire departments, and security organizations nationwide. Spillman specializes in integrated on-premises and cloud-based software solutions, including Computer-Aided Dispatch, Records Management Systems, Mobile Data & Field Reporting, Mapping & GIS, Jail Management Systems, Fire, Data Sharing, Personnel & Resources, and Analytics & Intelligence-Led Policing.

NextGate Announces Continued Success with Western Connecticut Health Network
Published: Thursday, November 12, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswirePASADENA, Calif., Nov. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextGate, the leading healthcare technology company for patient and physician identification that supports care team collaboration, today announced successful partnership growth with Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) as the network forms a Shared Savings Program. As one of the largest providers of healthcare identity management technology, NextGate and WCHN are working together to further improve patient identification efforts by more accurately identifying and linking patient and provider data.
WCHN identified a need for a comprehensive solution that could provide full management of patient identity data to support all functional and transactional systems in their network, and they selected NextGate's Enterprise Master Patient Index (EMPI) to meet these needs in 2012. Since that time, they have worked with NextGate to implement distinct and configurable settings so they can control, set thresholds, route and manage exceptions of data within the EMPI. Their network also needed a solution which demonstrated multi-entity and multi-environment capabilities, and NextGate has grown with them by offering flexible, configurable and innovative solutions to help WCHN achieve greater results.
"With 1.8 million patient medical records to manage, we knew WCHN needed a comprehensive and highly developed tool to empower our care teams with accurate and actionable data," said Joyce Rice, director of health information services at WCHN. "We have been so pleased with our three year partnership with NextGate, and with their help, we have reduced our duplicate record rate to approximately two percent."
"WCHN's forward-thinking and committed approach to proactive healthcare will truly benefit their patients by providing relevant, concrete data that can be used to improve the quality of care," said Andy Aroditis, NextGate CEO and co-founder. "We are thrilled to be a part of this partnership where we are growing together in an evolving healthcare landscape. We look forward to serving WCHN, so we can continue to enable meaningful collaboration among care providers, departments and organizations."
NextGate's EMPI solution enables organizations to automate duplicate record clean- up, eliminate duplicate registrations and provide faster, more accurate patient lookup while promoting a consistent overall patient experience. The company is celebrating its 10 year anniversary in 2015, and this milestone marks a decade of NextGate's collaboration, commitment and innovation in the healthcare industry.
