8 of the Top 10 Largest New York Office Landlords, Including SL Green & Rudin Management, Have Chosen VTS Market as Their System of Record for Digital Leasing & Marketing

VTS

VTS , the commercial real estate industry's leading leasing and asset management platform, today announced that since launching VTS Market —the commercial real estate industry’s first integrated, online marketing platform that enables landlords and their agency teams to market and lease their available spaces remotely for the first time—leading owners in New York and across North America have continued to choose VTS Market as their system of record for digital leasing and marketing. New clients include SL Green, Rudin Management, Columbia Property Trust, Nuveen, and Ivanhoe Cambridge. Currently, more than 15 million square feet of new office space is being signed up each week. This new group joins previous leading owners including Tishman Speyer, Brookfield Properties, Empire State Realty Trust, Hines, Oxford Properties Group, and RXR. The unprecedented uptake of the solution sees VTS Market continue to maintain its status as the most rapidly adopted product in proptech history. “Commercial real estate is and always will be a people business. VTS Market gives us a modern means to continue to engage with tenant rep brokers and their tenant clients in a way that is more efficient for them, and ultimately provides a superior experience,” said Steven M. Durels, Executive Vice President, Director of Leasing and Real Property, SL Green. “While this move towards digital leasing has been accelerated by COVID-19, it isn’t a short-term play and will continue to develop well beyond the pandemic.” To underscore this, VTS conducted a survey (VTS Market Tenant Survey 2020) to better understand and address the concerns that are top of mind for today’s tenants in relation to their office space search needs amid the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 250 U.S. tenants—including C-level executives and HR-decision makers for new space—participated. The results echoed that a majority of tenants prefer virtually touring space prior to viewing it in-person, and that will remain the preference post-COVID-19. The primary takeaways that bolster this anecdote include: Roughly 70% of respondents expressed discomfort in doing an in-person tour. 80% preferred to take a virtual tour of a space to narrow down their search before they had to tour in-person. 67% of respondents wanted to see a floor plan before touring in person “In today’s market, the traditional offline marketing methods long relied on by landlords are simply no longer possible. Without a digital option, they simply can’t compete,” said Nick Romito, CEO and Co-Founder of VTS. “With VTS Market, tenant reps and their tenant clients can virtually experience a building and interact with the owner of that building like never before. We are thrilled to be able to meet this critical industry need and get leasing teams back to work.” With VTS Market, landlords finally have a fully digital, data-driven way to market and lease their spaces online – all from within the VTS platform they use to manage their leasing and asset management activities today. In one click, agency leasing teams can review, approve, and publish spaces online to the VTS Marketplace — a listings site currently exclusively available for tenant reps to view, tour, and share virtual listing content for free. Additionally, landlords can easily publish spaces to their own websites and email listings to their network of tenant reps, directly from VTS’ platform. VTS Market provides landlords with the industry’s most comprehensive and effective marketing content, including virtual tours, photos, 3D space renderings, refurbished floor plans, and more than 250 verified data points for each space–all produced by the VTS team–ensuring tenant reps and tenants are viewing a single, highly-engaging source of truth. With VTS now managing more than 12 billion square feet of assets, including 60-percent of national Class A office space and 65-percent of the Manhattan office market — the company’s network of data reached a critical mass to support this. VTS Market and Marketplace are available in the U.S. and Canada. For more details and to request a demo, visit VTS.com .

The Socially and Environmentally Conscious Facemask--the New Fashion Essential

Flash Public Relations

The fashion industry has been responsible for more carbon emissions than international shipping and flights combined and labor practices can be questionable. Meet Stephanie Wagner , an entrepreneur who is changing all that—beginning with what has become a ‘new fashion essential,’ the facemask. Her company, ForTheFeel , is making great strides in personal and shared safety. What many don't know is that disposable surgical masks are jammed packed with toxic chemicals that studies have shown to be harmful to our environment AND human health. Masks can have ingredients such as: ● Petroleum ● Formaldehyde ● Azo Dyes ● Heavy Metals ● Plastic ● Ammonium Compounds ● Urea Resins ● Formaldehyde ● Phenols ● Quaternary Ammonium Compounds ● Organo-silver ….. and more These chemicals are sitting square over one’s nose and mouth—being breathed in. Unlike the nutrition facts on the back of our favorite foods, clothing and face masks don’t come with a conveniently itemized list of ingredients. Add to that that disposable masks can take up to 450 years to break down in the environment, and is affecting wildlife when they get caught in the ear loops. Synthetic particles don’t biodegrade. So when clothes are dumped into a landfill, toxic synthetic fibers pollute water sources and soil. Plus, ⅔ of all clothing sold in the U.S. is made from Fossil Fuels. The solution: ForTheFeel. Masks that FEEL good to both people and our planet. Their plant-based masks are made with 100% ORGANIC DYES--SAFE for all and are super soft and breathable. The masks are breathable and make it much easier to wear in comfort and without causing 'maskne.' The materials decompose in less than a year if discarded, and they are CDC approved and worn by doctors in one of the nation’s largest healthcare systems. ForTheFeel masks are made in America. All workers who are involved in the production (cutting, sewing, and dying) of ForTheFeel masks are paid 37% above the living wage, never handle toxic chemicals, and are treated with the utmost respect (especially during times of COVID). For further information and/or to purchase facemasks, log into https://forthefeel.com/ . ### Contact Details Wendy Gordon +1 202-412-6268 wendy@flashprdc.com Company Website https://forthefeel.com/

MarketFinance banks £50m for CBILS demand from UK SMEs ahead of deadline

MarketFinance

Fintech business lender MarketFinance has secured an additional £50m from one of Israel’s largest asset managers, Viola Credit, to lend to UK SMEs under the HM Treasury and British Business Bank CBILS initiative. The announcement comes as MarketFinance launches a “unified application” process in which SMEs will, through one application, be presented with a variety of finance options and be able to select those best suited to their needs. MarketFinance is now able to offer a combination of business loans, invoice finance and revolving credit facilities through this single application journey. Funding line to support CBILS The CBILS initiative will conclude at the end of September 2020 with pre-submitted applications in September being valid until the end of November. In readiness to service the last minute dash for CBILS loans or revolving credit facilities, MarketFinance has secured this additional funding of £50m to support SMEs with their working capital at this crucial time. Since 2011, Institutional investors such as banks, asset managers and family offices have provided the majority (70%) of capital that MarketFinance lends out to businesses. Anil Stocker, CEO at MarketFinance , commented: “Only 60,409 CBILS facilities have been approved since the pandemic started, versus 1.2m Bounce Back Loan approvals. This shows there are many businesses who could still benefit from accessing CBILS finance before the scheme ends. For many who took a Bounce Back Loan, there is now a short window where they can refinance onto a larger CBILS facility which could see them over to the new year. Vast swathes of the UK SME community haven’t applied or remain unaware of the CBILS initiative and that it concludes in a few weeks. By lining up this additional funding, we want to send a strong signal to the market that MarketFinance is here to help ”. One application, many options Alongside the fundraising, MarketFinance has rapidly improved its unified application process to allow faster decisions and access to the right funding for SME applicants. This means, for the first time, businesses will make a single universal application for finance and will be able to see, learn more about and select which option (or combination of options) is right for them. This will allow SMEs to draw down a loan today, but also set them up to use invoice finance or a revolving credit facility for when their order book fills back up. Through collecting just a few pieces of information about the applying company, MarketFinance is able to make instant decisions on 45% of applications with their automated decision engine, “Autoflow”. Their proprietary risk model, “Selector”, can assess each applicant under pre-COVID conditions, which means funding decisions are not overly biased by these unprecedented and potentially temporary conditions. This gives applying SMEs a greater opportunity to be approved compared with other financiers whose models are run only against today’s conditions. This year MarketFinance added business loans and revolving credit facilities to a product suite including selective invoice finance, contract finance and confidential whole-ledger invoice finance. Businesses are able to access a combination of these simultaneously from MarketFinance, making it the first fintech funder to offer multiple products within a single platform. Anil Stocker added: “Since launching CBILS loans, we’re already lending out around £10 million per month and our product development in invoice finance means we’re getting funds out 40% faster than 6 months ago. We’re constantly working on how we can reduce the time to funding for our new applicants and existing users. CBILS has only accelerated the pace at which we’re investing in our various products. The MarketFinance vision is to make finance available, easy-to-use and fairly priced to viable small businesses that need it most.” MarketFinance is accredited to lend under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), providing term loans from £50,001 to £150,000 and revolving credit facilities from £50,001 to £5m to UK SMEs. SME business owner Miguel Gibson, MD at tour operator Live Holidays Ltd commented: “As soon as the lockdown hit, our first priority was to refund our customers. In the meanwhile we were waiting for airlines to pay us back. The banks were slow to support with CBILS but MarketFinance understood our business quickly and provided a £150,000 CBILS loan in days. It meant there was no extra pressure on the business. We’re a £7m turnover business and this loan has helped to navigate an unprecedented time”. Anil Stocker added: “We make finance easier for business owners. Over the years we’ve refined our platform, allowing integrations with banks, online accountancy packages and credit bureaus to make lending a seamless process. This has saved time for owners and allowed them to focus more energy on the running of their business”. MarketFinance business highlights (2019/20): Updated brand name from MarketInvoice to MarketFinance to reflect launch of multi-product offering Secured £56m Series B round (debt and equity funding), attracting new investors Barclays and Santander. Strengthened leadership team with a new CFO, CRO and CTO Accredited as a CBILS lender for term loans and revolving credit facilities In response to COVID-19 impact, launched a Furlough Advance product to ease cash flow pressure on businesses as they wait to be paid from HMRC.

Unisoft Infotech Chooses Comodo’s Dragon Platform with Auto Containment Technology

Comodo

Comodo and Unisoft Infotech today announced their strategic partnership. Unisoft Infotech, a Singapore-based IT consulting firm added Comodo’s security solutions to its offering. “We chose Comodo, because of its auto-containment technology,” said Thenappan Vellachami, Founder and Director, Unisoft Infotech. He continued, “We needed 100% security from viruses and malware threats, so we decided to upgrade from a mere antivirus to endpoint protection. When evaluating products, we compared Symantec's Endpoint Protection to Comodo's, and the latter had better features. Comodo’s Dragon with AEP and auto-containment detects and responds in a way that users need not worry about any incoming virus threats; they can continue to concentrate on business enhancement.” Unisoft Infotech chose Comodo’s Dragon platform with Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP), which is a complete cloud-native framework that delivers a zero-trust architecture to protect and defend endpoints. Its patent-pending auto containment technology has active breach protection that neutralizes ransomware, malware and cyber-attacks. The auto containment runs an unknown executable in a kernel API virtualized mode, thereby offering attack surface reduction (ASR) which neutralizes ransomware attacks. The Dragon Platform also utilizes a Default Deny security posture with Default Allow usability to provide a most comprehensive protection against zero-day threats, while having no impact on end-user experience or workflows. In addition, Comodo’s Valkyrie analyzes and gives a trusted verdict for every file – no other company will analyze and give trusted verdict for 100% of the files on a network. Thenappan continued, “With its built-in auto containment technology, irrespective of the classification of virus or malware – whether it is ‘good’, ‘bad’, or ‘unknown’, Comodo will contain and quarantine all of them in a dedicated area. Having a file system where 100% of files get a trusted verdict means that we don’t have to use our staff and resources doing it manually.” Comodo’s platform shares intelligence and is therefore more secure than disparate products that claim best of breed but don’t share information. Comodo has architected its cybersecurity product to maximize intelligent sharing between every component of the platform, therefore providing superior security. Thenappan continued, “The best thing about Comodo’s Dragon platform is the excellent managed services – the threat detection and response is very organized and user friendly. Adding additional existing endpoint manager licenses is done by simply linking the licenses. Plus, the insights and analytics of threat management is of great use to us,” said Thenappan. Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “Our partnership and world-class solutions will help Unisoft’s customers stop worrying about cyber threats so they can focus on their business.” About Unisoft Infotech Unisoft Infotech is a Singapore-based IT consulting firm with strong knowledge, expertise and resource base across technology from Data Science to ERP. We are focused on empowering our team to attend to requirements, understand, and provide outstanding service to clients, with quick turnaround time and coherent solutions. Unisoft partners with clients to provide a competitive edge by providing exceptional talent, unique HR and technology solutions, thereby enabling our clients to focus on their own core businesses. As a people-centric organisation, Unisoft Infotech aims to uncover each of its candidate’s utmost potential, while working in harmony with each of our clients to ensure complete satisfaction on both ends. We have more than 25 years of experience in providing staffing solutions across all industries including healthcare, automobile, telecommunications and e-commerce.

Agile Industries Partners with Comodo after Dropping ESET

Comodo

Comodo and Agile Industries today announced their strategic partnership. Agile Industries, an Information Technology and services provider for non-profit organizations and based in based in Alberta, Canada added Comodo security solutions to its offering. “Our partnership with Comodo gives us peace of mind knowing our clients have top-notch security,” said Harlee Courtepatte, Founder and CEO, Agile Industries. He continued, “We originally had ESET, but during the planning process for a large client migration to 365, we looked for a new antivirus on our server-side. We researched several offerings, including those from ESET and Blackberry. After seeing a demo and experiencing a trial of Comodo’s Dragon Platform we decided to drop ESET and go with Comodo. We made the right decision – Comodo offers excellent customer service that exceeds our high expectations. Since day one I have resources for any question, concern, or advice. I am treated as a true partner, and this in turn has helped provide the best offerings to our clients. From now on, I will choose Comodo over any competitor.” Agile Industries chose Comodo’s Dragon platform with Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP), which is a complete cloud-native framework that delivers a zero-trust architecture to protect and defend endpoints. Its patent-pending auto containment technology has active breach protection that neutralizes ransomware, malware and cyber-attacks. The auto containment runs an unknown executable in a kernel API virtualized mode, thereby offering attack surface reduction (ASR) which neutralizes ransomware attacks. The Dragon Platform also utilizes a Default Deny security posture with Default Allow usability to provide a most comprehensive protection against zero-day threats, while having no impact on end-user experience or workflows. In addition, Comodo’s Valkyrie analyzes and gives a trusted verdict for every file – no other company will analyze and give trusted verdict for 100% of the files on a network. Courtepatte continued, “Comodo’s Dragon Platform gives the ability to write scripts for extra control. For example, our CTO Jeffrey Johnson scripted Azure alerts to let us know if our VM processor consumption exceeds 95%. This is important because, in a multi-tenant user environment, this could mean 100+ users are freezing up, causing disruptions in work, and soon to follow will be IT tickets. Now we can get ahead of these things, before they become a problem. This reduces our workload and saves money through reduced desktop support hours, which we pass back onto the consumer. In addition, our end users have a better experience because they often do not notice there was an issue going on in the first place.” Comodo’s platform shares intelligence and is therefore more secure than disparate products that claim best of breed but don’t share information. Comodo has architected its cybersecurity product to maximize intelligent sharing between every component of the platform, therefore providing superior security. “Our workflows are much more streamlined. The biggest benefit I noticed is how much less time I spend in the Dragon platform rather than In Azure. Since we connected Comodo to our clients’ Azure AD and enabled LDAP we are syncing our client’s employees, creating groups, organizing security levels and creating device ownership,” said Courtepatte. Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “This is another example of Comodo helping partners worldwide offer innovative, intelligent security solutions.” About Agile Industries Agile Industries specializes in helping and supporting not-for-profits, schools and SMBs that otherwise could not afford an enterprise-grade IT move to a cloud infrastructure. With a proper IT cloud strategy, we have helped agencies reduce their overall yearly costs by 20% while providing industry-standard data security, corporate training, and lean equipment solutions through one of our network partners.
