San Francisco, CA - December 13, 2016 - Inkling, the leader in mobile communications for the deskless worker, today announced a $25 million Series E round, bringing the total funding to date to $95 million. Sapphire Ventures led the round with participation from current investors Sequoia Capital and Tenaya Capital. The company will use the new funding to expand its product and sales efforts globally.
Today, 75 percent of U.S. workers perform their jobs without sitting in front of a desk or computer. Think of the restaurant worker, sales person, field service technician, or retail employee. Information technology has not played a transformative role in their lives. In fact, employers often inform and equip these workers by shipping paper binders or distributing static PDF files. However, the broadening availability and affordability of mobile technologies is finally changing this dynamic.
Inkling lets enterprises communicate with deskless workers and enables measurement of employee engagement and compliance. Real-time updates ensure that field employees are always looking at the most up-to-date information. Built-in analytics allows employers to correlate usage data with critical performance metrics like customer satisfaction, revenue, and brand consistency.
“Mobile devices are finally poised to change the work lives of tens of millions of deskless employees, so the opportunity is massive” said Matt MacInnis, CEO of Inkling. “We are excited to scale our business alongside Nino and the entire Sapphire Ventures team, a team that has deep enterprise software experience, a differentiated business development platform, and a track record of working with growth-stage companies.”
Over the past year, Inkling has grown its customer base to include top 10 firms in the insurance, retail, restaurant, pharmaceutical, energy, and manufacturing industries. As a recent example, McDonald’s rolled out Inkling to roughly 15,000 restaurants. Inkling also achieved a key milestone this year, surpassing one million licenses sold, and expanded its executive team to include new leaders in both marketing and product.
“Along with its incredible base of customers, we believe Inkling has a deep technology advantage in serving distributed workforces across a wide range of industries,” said Nino Marakovic, CEO and managing director of Sapphire Ventures. “Inkling’s customers have shared with us firsthand the transformational impact of the company’s technology on the lives of over a million workers. We look forward to helping Inkling tap into Sapphire’s own enterprise network to further enable the company to grow and improve the work lives of tens of millions more people worldwide.”
With this new funding, Marakovic will join Inkling’s board of directors.

New Case Study Library Takes Financial Services Training to the Next Level
Arlington, VA - December 13, 2016 - Omega Performance has launched its Case Study Library, the latest innovation in lender training.
The Case Study Library provides next-level training that builds upon Omega Performance's industry-leading blended learning model, which combines comprehensive, self-paced eLearning with facilitator-led Skills Application Labs. Omega Performance created the Case Study Library to help lenders gain post-training experience quickly and without exposing their organization to risk.
"In a commercial bank environment, those with commercial lending or small business lending responsibilities must develop higher-level analytical thinking," said Jenny Daley, president and chief executive officer at Omega Performance. "It is important that they know how to apply the credit risk mitigation concepts they have learned in different environments and under different economic conditions."
To meet this challenge, progressive banks have found an effective solution—using the case study learning approach made popular by educational institutions like the Harvard Business School. This methodology helps professionals develop the skills to interpret a complex business challenge rapidly, arrive at a logical solution swiftly, and articulate their recommendation in a concise, effective way.
In line with this approach, individuals enrolled in Omega Performance's Case Study Library evaluate credit opportunities on their own, then receive feedback from experts in their lending area. This feedback presents learners with an opportunity to refine their thinking and—if they choose—adjust their recommendations. They then present their recommendations to a group of their peers, who challenge their assumptions and ask "what if" and "why."
"Participants learn to hone their analysis skills in this process," said Colleen VanDyke, Omega Performance design and development director. "Using their independent decision-making skills on more complex, higher-risk credit requests, participants acquire the requisite experience and higher-level analytical thought processes required to improve their on-the-job performance."
Omega Performance's Case Study Library is designed for lenders, credit underwriters, loan reviewers, and branch managers who would benefit from additional experience evaluating a variety of lending scenarios.
About Omega Performance
Founded in 1976, Omega Performance is the banking industry leader in credit and business conversation training, offering high-impact training solutions to banks, credit unions, wealth management firms, and nonbank financial institutions worldwide. Using proven and time-tested strategies, the company helps lending institutions of all sizes develop and sustain strong credit cultures, make smart credit and risk management decisions, create profitable loan portfolios, and enhance their value propositions in a fiercely competitive marketplace. Headquartered in Arlington, VA, Omega Performance has global offices in London, Singapore, Sydney, and Mumbai. For more information, visit http://www.omega-performance.com/

Our goal is to offer resources our clients need beyond certification as well, including complimentary learning materials like webinars, video blogs, ebooks, and more.”

Give The Free Gift Of Mentorship This Holiday Season To A Veteran On New Platform Veterati
Princeton, NJ - December 15, 2016 - Veterati has launched a digital platform for veterans and military spouses to access mentorship-on-demand from successful professionals across the nation. Since more than 80% of jobs are unpublished and exist solely within personal networks, Veterati focuses on mentorship as a primary means to discovering career options and securing real jobs. With Verizon as an inaugural client, the vision for Veterati is on track to become a driver of hope for Veterans coming home from active duty.
The Veterati mission is to create mentorship conversations between 1.5 million transitioning veterans to the 100 million Americans currently employed across America to secure meaningful post-military careers for our veterans. Survey after survey of top traits employers are seeking are ingrained by the military in their soldiers: leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, 21-year olds responsible for not just financial spreadsheets but their brother and sisters living or dying by the quality of their work. 1.5m Veterans transitioning, 5.5m Military spouses unemployed or underemployed.
"We created Veterati because freedom is not free and there must be a social contract between the private sector and our veterans coming home," says Diana Tsai, CEO of Veterati. "Security, prosperity, comes at a price. That price is millions of American lives, soldiers and their families that give up creature comforts to ensure that WE can keep building, inventing, prospering- in a peaceful society."
After launching a successful pilot program in November 2015, Veterati opened the platform to Service Members, Veterans, Military Spouses, and Mentors across the country. Since opening, mentees have been averaging 3.7 mentor calls per active user. 98% of mentors report they want to mentor again. Compared with competitors charging job applicants for career coaching and guidance, Veterati has already provided $300,000+ worth of free mentorship to Veterans and Military spouses, and that number is rapidly rising.
About VeteratiLaunched in late 2015, Veterati gives every American an opportunity to become part of the solution to getting Veterans & Military spouse's meaningful careers. In a matter of minutes, the Veterati platform can build Veterans a cabinet of unlimited mentors. With the help of individuals in the private sector, Veterans are empowered with a cabinet of individuals, CEOs, recruiters, entrepreneurs, all in their corner, advising them on their job search, connecting them to their networks. That's the collective power of mentorship. It takes a village.

OutMatch Introduces Virtual Leadership Simulation for Talent Selection Succession Planning and Development
Dallas, TX - December 15, 2016 - OutMatch, a leader in helping organizations match the right people with the right jobs, today introduced its newest solution: virtual leadership simulations that enable companies to make better, faster, and more cost-effective leadership selection decisions as well as improve succession planning, and more effective leadership development programs.
OutMatch Leadership Simulation, powered by Pinsight™, enables companies to use objective data and helps avoid the trap of using current performance to predict future success – a practice that results in managers making poor succession recommendations 60 percent of the time. By immersing candidates in realistic yet challenging online leadership simulations using live web-cam role plays with trained human actors, OutMatch Leadership Simulation observes more than 250 leadership behaviors in a simulated business environment. Certified assessors generate data analytics that evaluate the potential and readiness of managers, directors, and executives for more responsibility, and predict a leader’s ability to execute an organization’s specific strategies.
Typical in-person simulations can cost $10,000 per employee and take up to 2 days to complete. By using this virtual solution, simulations can now be done in 3 hours, at a fraction of the cost, and deliver better results.
“OutMatch Leadership Simulation enables companies to measure the difference between ‘high potential’ and ‘ready now’ candidates before making succession decisions,” said OutMatch President and CEO Greg Moran. “Using future-oriented data, organizations gain valuable insight to predict and confidently put the right leaders in place to drive growth and profitability.”
OutMatch Leadership Simulation provides different simulations for various levels within an organization, from front-line managers to senior executives. Candidates review a fictional business case study prior to participating in the virtual role-play simulation, which takes approximately three hours. They gain a real sense of what it’s like to be in the job, resulting in great insights. Within 24 hours, an assessment report is produced that delivers analytics regarding readiness and potential, and identifies high-potential candidates. In addition, participants receive personalized feedback and follow-up development exercises.
OutMatch processes more than 10 million candidates per year for job opportunities at over 200,000 locations, providing the measurement, insight, and impact that companies need to make better hires. Using an industry-first SaaS+ model that combines innovative technology, world-class services, and support, OutMatch works with large, decentralized organizations with high-volume hiring needs in the hospitality, restaurant, and retail industries, including recognized names such as American Airlines, Aspen Dental, Brinker International, Circle K, Esurance, Hyatt, and La Quinta.
About OutMatch
Building a high-performing company requires matching the right people with the right roles. But, hiring is often subjective, lacks clarity, and doesn’t help companies understand the impact of a new hire. OutMatch fixes these problems. Using industry-leading assessment technology and expertise, OutMatch delivers the predictive data that’s missing from the hiring process. With clear, measurable insight into candidates and new hires, managers make better hiring decisions, and organizations are finally able to measure the impact of hiring on the company.

Dev Bootcamp Launches First-of-its-Kind Corporate Engineering Empathy Program with Pivotal as Inaugural Customer
San Francisco, CA - December 20, 2016 - Today, Dev Bootcamp, the original immersive software developer bootcamp, and Pivotal, the company accelerating digital transformation for enterprises, announced that they have rolled out 12 Corporate Engineering Empathy training workshops to select audiences across Pivotal. This deployment of Dev Bootcamp’s corporate iteration of its unique and effective student training curriculum marks the organization’s first B2B product venture and the first-of-its-kind training program offered by a coding bootcamp.
Dev Bootcamp-trained facilitators delivered the 12 workshops both in-person and virtually across several Pivotal offices – including its San Francisco headquarters – reaching 135 total employees.
“We’re pleased to be providing this initial training series to a company like Pivotal,” said LaTeesha Thomas, Director of Partnerships and Corporate Training at Dev Bootcamp. “Pivotal and Dev Bootcamp share common values around being more accepting of people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives in order to create more inclusive and productive workplace environments.”
The workshops, a mix of guided discussions and exercises related to day-to-day office interactions via email communication, performance reviews and meeting conduct, tackled issues such as: implicit bias, privilege and “allyship” (the process of building relationships based on trust with marginalized groups of people) as well as provided Pivotal employees with a framework for understanding bias and oppression, a common terminology to discuss microaggressions and other social identity based phenomena and strategies to combat these issues that can prohibit team productivity.
The collaboration with Dev Bootcamp also represents the first time Pivotal has provided this type of extensive training from a third-party partner.
“Empathy is one of the most important attributes we hire for at Pivotal,” said Joe Militello, Chief People Officer at Pivotal. “Pivotal’s mission is to help enterprises transform into software companies capable of moving at start-up speeds. As a result, one-of-a-kind programs such as Corporate Engineering Empathy empowers our employees to help our customers foster a software development culture in their respective organizations that’s optimized for change, and fueled by a diverse set of voices.”
The Corporate Engineering Empathy program, a suite of trainings offered to companies, was born from Dev Bootcamp’s Engineering Empathy (EE) student curriculum created to help students harness the tools they need to work effectively as individuals and on teams. EE is one way that Dev Bootcamp creates a supportive, inclusive onsite campus environment that enables students to learn under pressure, give and receive effective feedback and engage in collaborative learning that builds self-confidence and develops an appreciation for working with others. Pivotal elected the “Creating an Inclusive Work Culture” Corporate Engineering Empathy module to roll out with its employees.
Other modules include: “Navigating Difficult Conversations” dedicated to communication, feedback and tools to navigate difficult conversations; “Counteracting Bias in the Workplace” targeted at managers to help surface and thwart unconscious bias as an essential step towards effective leadership; and “Building Diverse Teams” complete with tactics to ensure recruiters and hiring managers are engaging qualified applicants who represent diverse communities.
“Engineering Empathy, six modules taught onsite as part of our team-building curriculum, is frequently cited by our alumni and employer partners as a standout element of the Dev Bootcamp experience,” said Tarlin Ray, Chief Operating Officer at Dev Bootcamp. “In addition to satisfying requests from alumni to bring EE training to their employers, we launched the Corporate Engineering Empathy suite because it represents a new business development avenue for our company with the intent to improve hiring practices around diversity and increase employee satisfaction, safety and awareness for our customers.”

Custom reports can now be filtered using absolute date ranges, and can also display custom course fields as part of their output.
Zoom.us’ videoconference service joins BigBlueButton, GotoMeeting and GotoConference in the rank of natively supported TalentLMS conference options.

Holodecs Training Portal aids LEAN and Value Chain Transformation
Shawsville, VA - December 28, 2016 - Holodec Office Systems LLC, an IIBA® corporate member, announced today their new Training Portal for LEAN and Value Chain transformation. The accredited on-line classes and certifications in IT4IT™, BPMN™ 2.0, CoBIT®, ITIL®, TOGAF®, ArchiMate®, LEAN, and Six Sigma can be purchased at https://holodecoffice.com/Terrace/ecampus.
Applying Value Chain and LEAN thinking to your operations allows you to see where your weaknesses are, where the bottlenecks are and where your greatest opportunities are to improve. A lack of training has companies falling short of LEAN goals. CIOs, PMPs and budget-conscious Millennials love the global availability and convenience of on-line LEAN training at Holodec, which is less costly than travel to classroom seminars.
Notable featured classes at Holodec include the recently launched IT4IT Reference Architecture Version 2.0, an Open Group Standard. Ms. Shirley P. Shorter, CISA, CSM, MBA/TM, and Business Analyst at Holodec, said, "In our consulting practice, we have witnessed corporations struggling to apply writer Michael Porter's Value Chain and LEAN principles to non-manufacturing IT and business workflows. The solution is the Open Group's IT4IT end-to-end Value Chain framework - the strategic approach we have been looking for!"
IT4IT allows enterprise CIOs to deploy services faster and with reduced risk and cost. A recent Gartner study suggests that an IT department using IT4IT might save between 5% and 20% of their total budget.
Borrowing from the management principles that transformed manufacturing, the IT4IT standard is based on the value chain approach, known as the IT Value Chain, and a three-level functional reference architecture encompassing four major IT value streams.
IT4IT is intended to support Agile as well as waterfall approaches, and lean Kanban process approaches, DevOps and IT service management process models. This framework underpins and enhances COBIT, ITIL, ISO, CMMI, SAFe and Agile, and relates directly to TOGAF 9 and ArchiMate.
Early adopters of IT4IT Reference Architecture can be found at The Open Group IT4IT Forum at www.opengroup.org/IT4IT.
About Holodec Office Systems LLC: Now in its 11th year, Holodec provides Business Process Improvement consulting services and training to Fortune 500 companies and government entities.
