Retarus WebExpress Offers Free Communication with Staff in Times of Crisis

SINGAPORE, Mar 18, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – As the wave of COVID-19 infections grow, an increasing number of companies are restricting business trips for their employees and requesting staff instead to opt for home office and virtual meetings. To handle the resulting communication with staff, Munich cloud service provider Retarus is now granting its existing customers free use of its market-leading multichannel messaging service, Retarus WebExpress.

With this one-to-many service, enterprises can keep their employees well-informed about the latest developments with timely yet personalized messages. This free limited offer is available until April 30th, 2020. Customers can find out more about this opportunity from their Retarus representatives in their local country organization.

Retarus WebExpress (https://www.retarus.com/services/webexpress/) enables companies to send email, fax, and SMS using a single, uniform browser interface. Templates can easily be set up in advance. Should an emergency suddenly come to pass, these templates can then be adapted and sent out in nearly instantly.

Radiologex Partners with Trusona to Bolster User Auth Security for Innovative Healthcare Industry Software

IRVINE, CA, Mar 12, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – Radiologex announced this week that it has partnered with Trusona, the pioneering leader of passwordless authentication, for its new all-inclusive software for medical doctors, healthcare professionals and healthcare companies. Radiologex(R) or RDEE for short, pronounced [AR-Dee], is the world's first and only one-stop software ecosystem exclusively for the healthcare industry, powered by blockchain technology, and now protected by the highest level of security. The Radiologex product is especially relevant in light of the current novel coronavirus crisis and other health emergencies where the speed, efficiency and confidentiality of communications and data transmission is paramount.

Radiologex is a real-time productivity, collaboration and information resource available via portable device-based app or via the Web. Its advanced user-authentication technology and builtin KYC (Know Your Customer) now includes a state of the art usernameless and passwordless authentication option that was developed by Trusona, the world leader in the field that holds some of the largest financial services and health care companies as clients.

"Compromised credentials are responsible for over 80 percent of breaches. Trusona's mission is to thwart cybercrime by eliminating static credentials from the user experience," said Ori Eisen, Founder and CEO at Trusona. "Radiologex has set the bar high for security within its product and we have integrated our stringent cutting-edge safeguards into their software engine."

"The recent appearance of novel coronavirus, and the very real possibility of a pandemic, is illuminating the need for a one stop instant communications platform dedicated for the healthcare industry, that is also equipped with a full suite of relevant services and productivity enhancing tools, allowing healthcare professionals to carry out various tasks in the most efficient manner when timing is critical. Yet in providing such services, Radiologex does not want to sacrifice security. Secure and safe transmission of information will always remain a top priority for Radiologex," said John Kiyo Smith, CEO, Radiologex.

"Trusona is the only company anywhere in the world that can provide technological solutions that meet our strict standards for security. We are confident our partnership with Trusona will serve to foster trust and peace of mind among Radiologex customers, and is a natural fit with our game changing platform."

Radiologex is the industry's first and only Web 3.0 solution, encompassing productivity tools; clinical information systems; medical imaging processing and storage; entire payment settlement and lending/finance systems; medical supplies, devices and equipment sales and repair services; content on demand; and a dedicated online community. The Radiologex team is comprised of experienced professionals with diverse backgrounds including medical physicians, healthcare service providers (e.g. radiology), and information systems and software developers with blockchain and distributed ledger technology expertise.

"The healthcare industry is highly vulnerable to security breaches and transactional bottlenecks, negatively affecting patient care, including critical care logistics, from start to finish. Radiologex solves for all of that in one easy-to-use platform with safety and speed built in as the vanguard, and partnering with Trusona only serves to enhance these capabilities," says Radiologex Co-founder, George Tyler.

"I headed a study with our team to uncover the primary pain-points experienced by the healthcare industry associated with the SARS epidemic of 2002, which is a scaled-down version of what we are currently experiencing with this COVID-19 event. The primary pain-point we discovered was the unavailability of a streamlined and dedicated communications platform among healthcare providers, which substantially hindered their ability to determine optimal courses of action in a time efficient manner. There was a dearth of communication amongst healthcare providers, large and small, including all levels of government, that was highly uncoordinated, leading to misinformation and contradictory information being disseminated to the public.

"RDEE's messenger module solves for this by offering the only available real-time, dual end encrypted, user KYC'd solution for the entire healthcare industry and even governments, with Trusona technology serving as the gateway for seamless yet ultra-secure access from anywhere. Healthcare professionals will no longer be required to physically be at their respective organizations or login via a cumbersome VPN process on their laptops to establish a wide-ranging communications channel with their colleagues. With Radiologex and Trusona technology, they can now establish unlimited communications channels instantly, from any portable device or web portal, from anywhere in the world, all without remembering a username or password. It will literally be that easy.

"The second major pain-point we discovered was the unfortunate price-gouging of prized medical goods, services, and products essential to containment, which would be subdued by RDEE's Marketplace and Service-on-Demand modules, providing real time global verified product and vendor authenticity, as well as instant, borderless, transactional capacity that can get these goods and services where they need to be with never-before-seen efficiency and swiftness, thanks in no small-part to secure ease of access facilitated by Trusona," added George Tyler.

Trusona (www.trusona.com), founded in 2015 by cybersecurity expert Ori Eisen, is the pioneer and world leader in passwordless authentication. Over 200 organizations, including some of the world's largest financial services and health care companies, rely on Trusona's solutions.

Radiologex (www.radiologex.com) technology is utility patent-pending, tested and certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology of the U.S. Department of Human and Health Services. The platform is available worldwide with free to use capacities for all users in April 2020.

Superfanz Closes 7-figure Seed Round to Solve Creators’ Pain Points

SINGAPORE, Mar 11, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – Superfanz, a pan-Asian startup with a clear focus on solving creators' pain points, has closed a 7-figure seed round, following a 6-figure angel round led by a prominent investor and tech entrepreneur in July 2019. Superfanz makes this announcement following the completion and present soft-launch of their social platform for Creators and their followers.

Superfanz CEO & Founder, Oh Thongsrinoon.

"Superfanz is a unique startup in the best sense," said Raymond Chang, CEO of NXT Ventures, lead investor in the round. "When Oh first approached me, he'd already completed a self-funded proof-of-concept. I love Superfanz's vision of solving creators' pain points, but it's their management team that sets them apart. Their team is battle-tested with successful track records in digital entertainment and the influencer space.

"It's not often you can claim to be No.1 in a market, but both co-founders have taken their previous startups to No.1 position in Taiwan and Vietnam respectively. This is what ultimately won me over. The fact that they have just launched their platform below budget and ahead of schedule is testament to their ability to execute," added Raymond Chang.

Superfanz is all about the ability to execute. The core executive team averages 20+ years of experience in venture capital, platform growth, and gaming, social media and digital entertainment markets (No.1 in each) – with a few successful exits to boot. It's roster of investors, advisers and strategic partners includes some of the biggest names in the Southeast Asia, while its current $4 million valuation stands it well against pre-launch values across the region.

"We are excited that our investors trust our world-class team to execute on our vision of helping Asian Creators create new income streams, so they can do what they dream of doing. Beyond money, this latest investment also opens additional markets in Asia for Superfanz, the Creators and their fans," said Oh Thongsrinoon, Superfanz CEO & Founder.

Superfanz launched its eponymous Android app on Dec 29, and is soft-launching its Pan-Asian fan club platform for Creators and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) across 3 countries: Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam.

"We are already seeing the fruit of this investment with key initiatives aimed at bridging the different Asian countries. We can't wait to share our new platform and the details of our key partnerships in upcoming announcements."

ZALL Smart Commerce Group Sends Medical Supplies from Across Asia to Fight the Outbreak

SINGAPORE, Feb 28, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – ZALL Smart Commerce Group (ZALL), the premier e-commerce group in Asia, is leading the charge to provide medical supplies and humanitarian aid to the field hospitals and quarantine facilities in Hubei and Wuhan, as they continue their battle against the coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak.

To date, ZALL has provided six air cargo shipments of emergency medical supplies, including masks, protective clothing, goggles, gloves, and disinfectants sourced from Asian countries including Cambodia, India, Japan, and the Philippines for the equivalence of RMB60 million (S$11.9 million).

Mr Peter Yu, ZALL Deputy Chief Executive said, "We were the first company to react to the shortage of medical resources in Wuhan, mobilizing partners across the Asian region to deliver emergency medical supplies including 3.2 million facemasks and 210,000 of medical protective clothing on 26 January, within 48 hours of the city's lockdown, tapping our global end-to-end supply chain networks and resources in Asia."

On the ground, ZALL partnered with local facilities to set up seven emergency hospitals and two quarantine field facilities in Wuhan and Hubei comprising of 7,500 beds, helping to alleviate the severe hospital bed shortage at the epicentre, and donated 10 new negative-pressure ambulances to transport coronavirus patients.

Since the lockdown, all flights and passenger train services from Wuhan have been cancelled and stopped, while intra-city transport such as buses, subways, and ferries are being suspended. The Hubei government has further imposed a ban on vehicle transport across the province to curb the spread of the virus.

Despite these restrictions, ZALL was able to secure the assistance of governments, embassies and civil aviation authorities in China, Cambodia and Japan, designating green lanes for expedited customs clearance, and arrange air cargo shipments for the emergency medical deliveries to Hubei and Wuhan.

"We have our eyes on global supply chains, and our immediate efforts have been to provide assistance to areas where we are seeing the greatest shortages in medical aid and equipment. We have been working with our best efforts to alleviate the crises," added Mr Yu.

ZALL incorporates environmental and social sustainability as part of its long-term growth strategy, and has invested in a number of sustainable development initiatives across the region. These include building schools to provide equal access to quality education, supporting the breeding of critically endangered species to protect terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity, investing in clean and affordable energy to tackle climate change, and digital banking to cater to the underserved SMEs and retail customers in Asia.

Since 2018, ZALL has invested in four projects in Singapore, including the Commodities Intelligence Centre (CIC), Singapore's first physical commodity eTrading platform (B2B) powered by blockchain technology; ZMA Smart Capital, an online trade finance company; ZALL Chain Technology, a blockchain solutions company; and the recent application for the Singapore digital banking licence.
