What’s an IT Carve-Out? Ask Fission Consulting

Chicago, IL, Jan 19th — Companies that are about to undergo a merger or separation will need to understand what an IT carve-out is and how the procedure starts. 

When a business unit is highly integrated, it can be challenging for the company to keep it solvent while selling it off completely. That’s when a business needs an IT carve-out. 

The most frequently asked questions when starting an IT carve-out project have been compiled by Fission Consulting, experts in complex IT transformations.

According to the company, “an IT carve-out refers to the activities needed to identify and separate NewCo’s IT assets from Parent’s IT environment. To operate as an independent company, NewCo will need to establish its own IT environment to support the business after separation.” 

If a company still owns equity in the subsidiary, a carve-out enables it to profit from a business sector that may not be a part of its core operations. A carve-out is comparable to a spin-off, but in a spin-off, existing shareholders receive shares from the parent company rather than acquiring new ones. 

In Fission’s latest FAQ guide, it helps clients succeed with their most significant IT transitions and transformations, and provides its clients with the necessary knowledge about IT carve-outs to ensure they do not lose. 

Fission defines IT carve-outs as identifying and separating NewCo’s IT assets from its Parent’s.

NewCo will need its own IT environment to function independently after separation. To operate NewCo’s business effectively, Parent’s critical systems are transferred into the company’s IT infrastructure.

To avoid disrupting business operations, IT carve-outs differ from typical system implementations.

For an IT carve-out, Fission suggests creating a project team with Parent, NewCo, and outside resources (where applicable).

Fission believes that the success of the IT carve-out signals success for the parent company. As a result of the TSA, NewCo will no longer rely on Parent’s IT infrastructure or its employees for support. All Parent data will be removed from NewCo’s environment on the first day of separation, and each company will behave differently.

With this advice, its clients can understand the importance of IT carve-outs, as well as the process and key points that will be of value to their business. 

The company urges companies who are separating a business unit from their current organization to understand the importance of the IT carve-out and know it. 

Interested parties can learn more about the IT carve-out in Fission’s latest FAQ guide at https://www.fissionconsulting.com/.

To Prevent Time-Based Cyberattacks, Businesses Should Be Using a 24/7 SOC

blank

World-class cyber security expert, DigitalXRAID, has urged businesses to take a proactive approach to their cyber security with a 24/7 SOC (Security Operations Centre), to address the threat of time-based cyberattacks and increase in attacks over the last year. 

In light of the well reported attacks on Rackspace, Intersport and recently The Guardian, it is clear that cybercriminals are using holiday periods and out of hours timing to target businesses who may have their guard down.

Timing is a key factor when it comes to attacks and therefore it is essential for cyber defence. Cyberattacks that happen when IT and security staff are operating with skeleton staff or are away from the office altogether are more devastating, resulting in the exfiltration of much larger quantities of data and causing greater disruption. 

A cyberattack that isn’t detected immediately can take more than 300 days to contain. If several hours pass before an attack is identified, attackers have the possibility to move laterally across a company’s networks undetected, which can be dire for an organisation’s business operations and result in downtime. 

The most recent example of a devastating cyberattack comes as Royal Mail announced that they had suffered a crippling cyber incident which halted all international deliveries. The attack follows a similar pattern to the cyber incident at delivery service Yodel which reports suggest was the result of a ransomware attack launched at the weekend. With a delay in the identification of the attack, Yodel experienced widespread disruption and systems being unavailable for days following. 

A similar attack early in 2022 on another delivery company reported an overall cost of $60 million to the business. 

Hackers don’t exclusively operate during office hours, so neither should security measures. With such high profile incidents advertising the advantages of out of hours attacks, cyber criminals will be looking to profit from these opportunities. 

Cyberattacks cannot be taken lightly. Reported statistics say there is a cyberattack happening every 39 seconds, with over 4,000 ransomware attacks taking place daily. Moreover, large companies that aren’t the only ones being targeted—43% of these attacks represent small businesses.

Most organisations, especially small to mid-sized businesses don’t have the resources to build and support a 24/7 security operations centre (SOC) in house. Setting up a 24/7 SOC in-house, with all of the tooling and manpower needed for 24/7 coverage, can cost over £500,000. This just isn’t achievable for most businesses, especially in view of the global cyber skills shortage.

In view of this, and the potential cost of cyber incidents reportedly reaching upwards of £3.18m, organisations are looking to 24/7 SOC providers for support.

Outsourcing cyber security to a specialised 24/7 SOC provider gives access to the latest in tooling and highly skilled security professionals, without risking sensitive information and protection. 

Outsourcing a company’s 24/7 SOC opens the door to world-class threat detection and response without having to spend time and money in hiring, training, and retaining competent analysts.

At the same time, a 24/7 SOC provides advantages such as:

  • Skilled personnel overseeing their business 24/7
  • The ability to stop attacks in minutes
  • A lower cost of ownership to secure the business
  • More time to pursue other business opportunities

An outsourced 24/7SOC team acts like an extension of the business, leaving IT and security staff to focus their skills and energy on other aspects of the operations. At the same time, businesses do not have to compromise on detection and remediation time if they’re targeted by threat actors.

DigitalXRAID provides a CREST accredited Security Operations Centre, offering clients cyber protection 24/7/365. 

The company also provides comprehensive cybersecurity solutions and services such as penetration testing, cyber awareness training and phishing campaigns and ISO 27001 certification. To learn more about what they offer, please visit https://www.digitalxraid.com/

Protera Now Offering Disaster Recovery Services to Businesses

blank

In a move to help future-focused enterprises transition from traditional “check-box” disaster recovery plans to more dynamic, real-world testing processes, Protera now offers class-leading disaster recovery services. 

With these services, this leading managed service provider is committed to enabling businesses to consistently test, validate, and remain insurable against disaster. 

According to vice president of solution architecture, Adam Mommersteeg, “DR is certainly not new, but today’s security ecosystem has forever changed the way businesses manage it…It’s not enough to say you can back up your systems to a remote location. Cyber insurance companies are demanding proof that the right technologies are safeguarding your systems and, in the event of a breach, that operations can be restored within one business day or less. If you can’t do that, you run the risk of being uninsurable.”

Outages, natural disasters, ransomware attacks, etc., are the leading availability threats that face modern organizations and make them vulnerable to unplanned downtimes. 

Over the past few years, an overwhelming 82% of businesses have encountered at least one unplanned downtime incident. 

The ramifications of unplanned downtimes can result in a loss of business-critical data and damage to company revenue, reputation, and compliance adherence in the long term. 

Case in point: Each minute of downtime can cost a business around $9,000 on average, which brings the downtime cost/hour to more than $500,000, according to the Ponemon Institute.

That said, with an effective disaster recovery plan and solution in action, enterprises can become more resilient. It helps them quickly restore operations with no data loss and minimal business disruption in the event that disaster strikes. 

As part of its application and cloud managed services portfolio, Protera offers regular and systematic testing of all areas of an organization. As a result, businesses can rest assured that their mission-critical physical and virtual IT workloads are always protected and running optimally—regardless of their specific security, compliance, or business requirements. 

Leveraging Protera’s class-leading disaster recovery services, businesses can ensure the plans they’ve opted for work perfectly.

Protera’s sprint-based disaster recovery methodology includes a) discovery and scoping, b)implementation, c) design and detailed planning, and d) testing and handoff. 

Its agile approach to automated DR failover in the cloud allows enterprises to simplify disaster recovery and testing for enterprise applications. The cloud-native low-touch DR solution by Protera executes a string of actions on each group of applications ensuring the applications start in the correct sequence and run perfectly. 

According to Protera, traditional approaches to testing business continuity and disaster recovery greatly rely on industry point solutions that only evaluate a specific business function. While individual processes may be automated, testing a multitude of operations can be a drain on resources. 

Protera’s Disaster Recovery Framework assures all point solutions are pinpointed and tested automatically and systematically. This outcome-focused framework makes sure processes are executable with minimal human intervention while also removing the drain on resources caused by legacy techniques. 

Founded in 1998, Protera Technologies, LLC., is a nextGen managed cloud and hosting services provider committed to helping organizations achieve their modernization goals with improved quality, increased value, and reduced business risks. Protera is a global SAP® partner certified in Cloud, Hosting, Global Outsourcing, Application Management, and SAP HANA Operations Services.

Central Nervous System Research Benefits from Decentralized Clinical Trial Solutions, According to ObvioHealth

blank

Leading Virtual Trail Organization (VRO), ObvioHealth marks the role of decentralized clinical solutions in addressing the key challenges in central nervous system (CNS) research.

“DCT solutions, by leveraging a modular approach, can address four key challenges in central nervous system research to reduce participant uncertainty and burden, increase participant compliance, and drive data quality,” explains a spokesperson from ObvioHealth. 

According to ObvioHealth, the possibility of suffering from physical immobility and cognitive impairment among patients with CNS conditions prohibit them from participating in trials with on-site visits. The result is extremely expensive and time-intensive patient enrollment and participation that can cause substantial lags in CNS clinical trials. 

The VRO highlights hybrid and decentralized studies as the way forward to minimize the patient burden. Providing participants with the flexibility and support required, DCTs also help improve data quality. 

On top of this, by enabling patients to contribute to CNS trials from the comfort of their homes, digital solutions that include ePRO and eConsent significantly shift the paradigm to a much higher enrollment rate. 

In addition, stigma related to CNS disorders is pervasive in clinical studies and acts as a deterrent for CNS trial participation. 

Concerns about being typified or judged, exposing personal health information, or being otherwise negatively labeled can significantly impact a patient’s willingness to volunteer for a CNS clinical trial.

By enabling participants to maintain a more comfortable distance from the trial team while also ensuring they get immediate support whenever needed, decentralized and hybrid studies offer privacy tailored to a patient’s preferences. The result is destigmatized clinical trials leading to improved patient recruitment and retention rates. 

Even though clinician- and patient-reported outcomes are the basis for gauging multiple endpoints in CNS clinical studies, they are often prone to skewed perceptions and recall bias. In addition to participant subjectivity, the possibility of variability across expert raters impacts data quality and ultimately, the accuracy of trial endpoints. 

While with ePRO and eClinRo, clinicians and patients can submit data on symptoms and behavior in real-time using their own devices, with eCOA, experts can streamline the review process.

The result is augmented reporting and clinical assessments that can minimize clinician variability and limit the risk of data distortion, thus driving data quality.

Due to CNS trials involving research on critical brain functions, keeping patients under constant follow-up is vital, explains ObvioHealth. 

That said, patients who drop out during the trial pose a major concern for clinical teams as well as significantly impact the trial success rate. 

The end-to-end support and patient-centric processes offered in decentralized and hybrid approaches help clinical teams keep participants engaged throughout the trial period and over time.

While the human-centric designs with DCT studies help address patient requirements faster, the virtual site team, real-time data collection, and remote monitoring of patients with these approaches notably decrease patient attrition rates in CNS trials. 

According to the VRO, substantial emphasis is placed on conducting CNS clinical trials today, with central nervous system disorder remaining the leading reason behind mortality and morbidity worldwide.

Case in point: Over 4,000 CNS clinical trials are predicted to be underway by 2026, according to Evaluate Pharma. 

To navigate challenges to success, and accelerate the process of marketing life-improving new treatments, adopting DCT models within CNS research is critical. 

ObvioHealth’s patient-centric DCT solutions help study teams address the issues of data inaccuracy and interoperability essential to deliver robust clinical outcomes and endpoints.

Founded in 2017, ObvioHealth is a global digital health organization led by an expert team. ObvioHelath develops and runs decentralized clinical trial solutions across the globe that help capture more robust and accurate data to speed up drug development.

In the podcast’s first episode, the agency’s co-founder, Ben Hawkshaw-Burn, talks about why it is important for business owners to understand how SEO works—even if it’s being outsourced to an SEO company.

Similarly, in another episode, the agency’s on-page SEO expert, Alan Mansford, discusses the common mistakes that could affect a website’s ranking. The episode is ideal for those who have heard of technical SEO terms but do not understand what they mean.

Similarly, the podcast has episodes featuring Jo Priest, the agency’s off-page optimisation expert, and Amine Lakaab, the paid ads Geek.

Bita Jarrah, a senior UX designer for the Canadian Red Cross who was also invited onto the show, talks about what user experience (UX) is and why it’s important.

Sapio Sciences Rings in 2023 With Major Investment from GHO Capital

blank

Baltimore, MD, Jan 6, 2023 — The London-based leading specialist healthcare investment advisor, Global Healthcare Opportunities, also called GHO Capital Partners LLP, has announced its investment in Sapio Sciences, a high-growth integrated lab informatics platform.

Lab informatics platforms are gaining momentum today, with more modern laboratories striving to accelerate their R&D. With GHO’s backing to scale it, Sapio Sciences hopes the company will evolve as a formidable player in the lab informatics market. 

Kevin Cramer, Chief Scientist and CEO at Sapio, said of GHO’s recent investment decision, “As lab workflows become increasingly complex and the volume of data increases, the management, and interrogation of that data becomes even more vital. Over the last eighteen years, Sapio has built a uniquely flexible, scalable, unified, and easy-to-use informatics platform developed specifically to address the deficiencies of current processes. We are proud to have GHO partner with us to support our next transformational steps as a company.”

Launched in 2004, Sapio Sciences is a US-based state-of-the-art lab informatics platform committed to transforming and speeding up life science R&D for biopharma, CROs, and clinical labs. 

This unified low-code/no-code platform offers various lab software products, such as its high-end scalable Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), and Software Data Management (SDMS) software.

Sapio helps digital labs address all challenges they face while breaking through data silos and driving efficiency in their laboratory operations.

Geeky Tech, a B2B Marketing Agency, Just Made a Case for Results-Based SEO

Guildford, United Kingdom – January 4, 2023 —

Leading SEO expert, Geeky Tech, recently released a guide to finding the right B2B marketing agency for tech businesses. In this guide, the agency advises businesses to look for agencies that can prove their results.

The business explains the point by presenting the company’s own experience with search engine optimisation (SEO) marketing companies.

According to the agency, in its early days, it decided to outsource its SEO services to a vendor. While the decision initially yielded positive results, a Google update resulted in a drop in rankings.

In an attempt to find out why this happened, the agency realised that the SEO providers did not know why either, since they too had outsourced the service. “No one in this entire chain of outsourced service providers had any idea why the SEO strategy was no longer working,” explains the agency.

Geeky Tech cites this incident as the impetus for becoming an expert in the field of search engine optimisation. That, in turn, led the agency to specialise in B2B technology and software businesses.

Leading by example, the agency claims that it has helped businesses see a 580% increase in organic site traffic, for example.

According to the business, a result-based selection can help companies avoid marketing agencies that do not have a deep understanding of the subject or don’t have the right experience.

Experience is a very important factor, explains the agency, as B2B audiences are very different from B2C audiences. The latter is buying for themselves, whereas the former is making decisions for their business.

As a result, B2B customers tend to make decisions over time, after assessing all their choices. That, according to Geeky Tech, means they look for more information about products and services than the average B2C customer.

According to the agency, this means that marketing for this segment begins at the awareness stage rather than the lead generation stage.

By focusing on results rather than marketing messages, B2B businesses are more likely to find SEO marketing teams that have the right experience, expertise, and knowledge to help them, Geeky Tech states.

More importantly, results delivered over a period of time also demonstrate that the marketing agency’s SEO expertise can stand the test of changing algorithms. In fact, according to the company, understanding the core principles of SEO means the strategy succeeds regardless of search engine updates.

That is why the agency advises on making sure that the marketing company for a B2B tech business delivers search engine optimisation, paid media, and monitoring and maintenance services that are based on technical understanding and results instead of guesswork.

Geeky Tech tests and refines everything it does to ensure that clients always get consistent results. The business is made up of a team of people around the world, all of whom are passionate about technology and SEO.

Incredible new strains available at Mary Jane Bangkok

Mary Jane, Bangkok sources only the highest-grade cannabis strains for those seeking a natural alternative to big pharma-prescribed pills in Thailand. Here we take a look at a couple of incredible new strains which have been getting quite of bit of attention among cannabis aficionados.

Stepping inside the Mary Jane store, trained budtenders are on hand to listen to and understand each individual’s health concerns before recommending strains of weed to remedy a host of ailments. Cannabis has been consumed by people for hundreds of years however, the outlawing of this naturally-growing plant has been a barrier to patients seeking an alternative to global pharmaceuticals.

Here weed experts review two of the more popular strains now available legally at Mary Jane, Cannabis shop Bangkok, Gorilla Glue and Pink Runtz:

Gorilla Glue No.4, GG4 or Original Glue:

With a THC content of 15.62% and 0% CBD, this Indica-dominant hybrid is one of the more popular strains stocked at Mary Jane Bangkok and a favorite of seasoned patients. Created in Nevada USA, its characteristics are quite unlike any other marijuana strain. A pungent earthy mix of 3 mother strains – namely Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel – Gorilla Glue No.4 is so-called for its ability to glue the user to the couch with its strong relaxing properties and for the sticky resin buds this plant produces. GG4 carries a full-bodied flavor with notes of pinewood, coffee, and chocolate it is both earthy and sweet. This a much sought-after award-winning marijuana strain and is a great stress reliever and is the bud of choice for patients suffering from anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, and insomnia, despite containing zero CBD. It is also good for pain relief however misuse can give users a dry mouth and eyes. Although giving users a sense of euphoria when ingested GG4 can help alleviate low mood, this is not a medicine for the morning nor for giving you the energy to party all night long. Providing a typical Indica body high it is best consumed in the evening or when you’ve nothing better to do with your day. This has been a popular strain for users living through Bangkok’s extreme rainy season of 2022, leaving patients without a care in the world. Whilst GG4 is a thoroughly relaxing strain, it offers users super-focused creativity meaning it’s perfect for watching a movie, playing a musical instrument or reading and writing. If you want to know the correct dosage for your symptoms, our trained budtenders are here to give you all the advice you need to remedy your situation.

Pink Runtz:

Containing an average of 20% THC and very low CBD content, Pink Runtz is an equally balanced Indica-Sativa hybrid strain of marijuana available to patients at Mary Jane Bangkok however, for consumers it is the heady Sativa effects that come to the fore with this naturally grown flower, energizing users and lifting moods promoting long-lasting euphoric happiness that is perfect for social gatherings. Related to the original Runtz strain, it is a hybrid of Zkittels and Gelato and offers a sweet and fruity yet mild and discreet aroma with flavors of strawberry and citrus fruit. So-called due to its pinkish-purple buds Pink Runtz is the ultimate mood enhancer. Due to its uplifting effects, Pink Runtz leaves patients awake yet relaxed, happy, talkative, and often giggly, reminding more regular users of their first experience with cannabis. This heady strain is particularly popular with patients who suffer from bouts of PTSD: anxiety, stress, and depression due to its mood-enhancing properties. It is a perfect alternative medicine for fatigued executives and overthinkers who need to switch off from the bombardment of the daily grind, especially for those individuals who mentally take their work home with them. Pink Runtz helps you relax and lose focus while experiencing a wash of happiness meaning it can be used as an excellent chronic pain reliever. It also enhances appetite. But be warned, consuming too much can leave patients feeling dizzy and with a headache. Due to Pink Runtz’s ability to uplift and awaken the mind and body, this alternative medicine is not one to be ingested before bedtime, although for patients who don’t have trouble sleeping this strain can enhance dreams by prolonging the REM stage of your sleep pattern. So whether you want to eliminate stress and negative thoughts or kill pain Pink Runtz could be the strain for you. This California hybrid has been difficult to find outside of the USA until now. And thanks to Thailand’s forward-thinking practices permitting the use of alternative medicines, Mary Jane Bangkok can now offer this strain in Thailand for the very first time.
