OJAI, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Elixir today announced significant progress in its patent application for Elixir Catalyst, a groundbreaking AI and machine learning-powered solution that transforms how organizations migrate from legacy Customer Communications Management (CCM) systems. This revolutionary technology addresses one of the most daunting challenges facing enterprises today: replacing mission-critical CCM platforms that have been deeply embedded in business operations for years or even decades.

“CCM migration has long been considered one of the highest-risk, most expensive technology projects an organization can undertake,” said Tarek Harry, CEO at Elixir. “With Elixir Catalyst, we’re fundamentally changing this reality. Our patent-pending AI technology can slash migration timelines by 3-4x and reduce costs by 50-80%, transforming what was once a multi-year, multimillion-dollar nightmare into a streamlined, predictable process.”

Traditional CCM migrations often exceed a year in duration and cost millions of dollars, particularly with legacy solutions that require complete manual template rebuilds. Organizations face the painful reality of complex data migrations and high-stakes compliance risks that can halt production and damage the bottom line. Elixir Catalyst solves these challenges through its innovative approach that requires only data sources and sample PDF outputs to automatically generate fully functional Elixir Cloud templates. The solution combines patent-pending AI and machine learning technology with expert professional services to rapidly convert legacy and competitive documents while maintaining template fidelity through built-in checks and human oversight.

“What makes Elixir Catalyst truly revolutionary is its vendor and system agnostic approach,” said Libby Koehn, Global VP of Product at Elixir. “We don’t need access to the original CCM platform – just sample PDF outputs and their data feeds. This means organizations can finally break free from legacy systems without the traditional barriers of complex integrations and manual reconstruction efforts. Our AI technology even discovers business / data rules for variable content, shared resources and optimizes templates during the conversion process.”

The solution has already demonstrated remarkable success in the field. One of the largest insurers in the country leveraged Elixir Catalyst to migrate from legacy systems in under a year at 60% less cost than the nearest competitor, avoiding the multi-year timelines and millions in costs quoted by incumbent CCM vendors.

Key benefits of Elixir Catalyst include:

• Dramatic reduction in migration time and costs through AI-powered automation

• Accelerated time to value by eliminating manual template re-development

• Enhanced template fidelity with built-in quality checks and expert oversight

• System agnostic approach requiring only sample PDF outputs and data feeds

• Optimized template generation through intelligent discovery and generation of data mappings, variable content rules, and shared resources

As organizations increasingly recognize the need to modernize their communication systems for improved security, scalability, and business agility, Elixir Catalyst provides a transformative path forward that significantly reduces the traditional risks and complexities of CCM migration.

The advancement of Elixir’s patent application represents a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to innovation in the customer communications space, building on its cloud-native platform that already empowers business users to create personalized communications at scale.

CONWAY, NEW HAMPSHIRE / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Digitunity, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to making computer ownership possible for everyone, announces a new project in collaboration with AT&T to expand digital navigator services. This project will reach approximately 13,200 people in rural communities nationwide.

Supported by $725,000 from AT&T, this 12-month effort will equip local organizations in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana with essential resources so residents can benefit from technology opportunities: computers, digital skills training, and support for affordable internet access.

Digitunity identified a need for this project in its work across the country. “Digital navigators,” individuals trained to provide support and wayfinding to community members seeking computer access, internet access, and digital skills training, are only as effective as the resources available to them. By bundling essential tools and support, this project will strengthen not only established digital inclusion programs but also activate a broad range of trusted community organizations, such as veterans’ services, healthcare providers, and adult education centers, to meet the technology needs of the people they serve.

In addition to expanding computer ownership, digital skills, and affordable connectivity, the project will integrate siloed efforts into a cohesive, holistic approach, ultimately improving the effectiveness of digital navigation, with replicability and scalability in mind.

“Digital navigators play a crucial role in eliminating the digital divide,” said Scot Henley, Executive Director of Digitunity. “Through AT&T’s generous support, we will provide these trusted local partners with robust resources for how their clients can obtain computers, digital skills training, and affordable connectivity. This work is about shaping and strengthening the systems rural communities need for lasting digital opportunity, while also supporting individual success.”

This collaboration is part of AT&T’s ongoing $5 billion commitment to narrow the digital divide by 2030. The project’s approach, which leverages community networks to reach people at scale, aims to strengthen the digital navigator and digital skills training model and build sustainable systems for computer ownership.

“At AT&T, we believe that access to technology and digital skills is essential for unlocking opportunity in every community,” said Mylayna Albright, Assistant Vice President of Corporate Responsibility, AT&T. “By collaborating with Digitunity on this initiative, we’re helping to empower thousands of people in rural areas with the tools, training, and support they need to participate fully in today’s digital world, ensuring that more families can connect, learn, and thrive-no matter where they live.”

The initiative will focus particular attention on Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, where the need for computers is exceptionally high. According to 2023 U.S. Census data, nearly a quarter of all households in these states do not have a desktop or laptop computer, or they rely on smartphones alone for essential tasks like education, healthcare, and employment.

Between September 2025 and August 2026, the project aims to:

• Deliver Digital Skills Training: 10,500 people will participate in AT&T’s digital literacy courses, developed in collaboration with the Public Library Association, and use AT&T’s ScreenReady tools and courses hosted by local nonprofit and community organizations.

• Place Essential Technology: 2,500 donated and refurbished computers, sourced through Digitunity’s national network, will be distributed to individuals and families in need.

• Support Community Navigators: 200 digital navigators will receive training and resource kits to help them connect people with computers, skills, and affordable internet.

About Digitunity

Digitunity is a national nonprofit organization making computer ownership possible for everyone. For over 40 years, Digitunity has worked to close the digital divide in the United States by shaping and strengthening systems that enable computer ownership.

Digitunity sources and places computers with a network of over 1,600 community-based organizations, supports digital skills programs, and provides strategic advisory services to states and cities. With one in seven U.S. households lacking a computer at home, this national-local approach mobilizes resources, influences policy, and builds durable solutions that expand opportunities, participation, and economic mobility.

About Philanthropy & Social Innovation at AT&T

At AT&T, our corporate responsibility work is dedicated to bridging the digital divide across the country. We are committed to providing people of all ages and from every community with the essential resources they need to thrive in the digital era. For generations, we have supported programs that impact millions of individuals nationwide, and since 2021, we have committed $5 billion to initiatives that enhance connectivity, promote digital literacy, and improve access to high-speed internet. Our efforts particularly focus on uplifting underserved communities, including students, older adults, and those on tribal lands, ensuring everyone can participate in the digital world and benefit from its opportunities.

Launch timetable is now imminent for developers of a revolutionary system for medication management as they open an initial SAFE investment round and will fund final product development and market validation in compelling use-case.

EDMOND, OK / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / PillSafe, a leader in smart medication management technology, announces it will open an initial investment round via a SAFE offering, with a commercial launch in 2026. The patented solution secures prescriptions from pharmacy to medicine cabinet, addressing a $500+ billion problem in avoidable annual costs, medication nonadherence and controlled substance misuse in the U.S.

The raise supports two key initiatives: the next Phase of product development through MIDI, a venerable, award-winning medical device engineering firm, and for a payer-facing ROI model developed by PrecisionAQ the leader in health care economics, evidence generation and analytics. Remaining funds will go toward expanded IP filings, and to finalize FDA regulatory milestones.

Humanate Inc. is providing the AI interface for PillSafe using what it describes as “AI Agentic Avatars,” that can speak over 100 languages. This AI component transforms PillSafe from a passive pill bottle into an interactive healthcare solution that adapts to patient behavior and provides coaching, creating long-term value for providers and payers.

These collaborators span best-in-class advanced medical device design firms, AI-based engagement platforms, manufacturing and packaging companies, regulatory experts, and payer strategy consultants. The model emphasizes partner specialization and scalability to keep costs low and improve time to market. The company plans to launch the product in 2026.

“PillSafe is a game-changer for controlled medications and adherence-critical prescriptions,” said PillSafe CEO Jim Patton. “Our secure, connected dispensing system helps prevent addiction and overdose and monitors patient compliance thereby substantially reducing healthcare costs. We’ve built a team and product strategy that’s ready for scale, and investors have an opportunity to support the first long-awaited, end-to-end solution with global impact.”

The United States sees 352 million prescriptions annually for controlled substances and another 652 million for adherence-critical medications according to the MarketScan® Multi-State Medicaid Database. PillSafe addresses that dynamic with technology that locks access, monitors use, and alerts caregivers and clinicians to tampering or missed doses. The system is being engineered for FDA and HIPAA compliance and includes patient-friendly ergonomic features and built-in safeguards.

“PillSafe is the first product of its type in the world that provides wireless smart secure prescription bottles from the pharmacy to the home medicine cabinet,” PillSafe COO Lon G. von Hurwitz said. “It’s only now that we can provide a practical and scalable solution that supports patient safety, clinical integrity, and compliance.”

Subject matter experts working directly with PillSafe emphasized the innovation’s clinical, technological, and societal relevance:

Ross Maclean, MD, PhD, EVP, Head of Medical Affairs, PrecisionAQ:

“PillSafe will revolutionize patient monitoring for the dosages of controlled substances and adherent-critical medications through a highly coordinated system. From patient opt-in to the interactive in-home prescription dispensing extension, the process becomes much more manageable. AI and the interaction platform make it affordable, automated, and continuously overseen by the prescriber. PrecisionAQ will be working on quantifying the healthcare benefits and financial savings for the system as our role in this development.”

Christopher Montalbano, Co-founder and CEO, MIDI Medical Product Development:

“MIDI is committed to helping PillSafe create the best innovation in prescription dispensing in 50+ years. The introduction of the Child Resistant cap occurred in 1967 which is when, our company was founded bringing the latest medical devices to the public. We aim to transform medication bottles into Smart, wirelessly connected mini-computers with functionalities that are only now feasible and highly anticipated by the healthcare industry.”

Carlos Rodriguez, CEO and Co-Founder, HUMANATE, Inc:

“Humanate Inc, powered by NVIDIA, embodies the pinnacle of new AI-generated Agentic Avatars being set to work for PillSafe. Friendly, interactive, and comprehensively trained, they handle patient interactions for coaching, encouragement, and even mediating when prescribed routines or dosages are not followed. For the first time, this technology offers an affordable, valuable application for prescribers and caregivers, providing data when patients require personal support. By design, the system will constantly improve its methods and outcomes.”

About PillSafe

PillSafe is a pioneering “smart” technology that shifts the standard of care in the pharmaceutical industry with in-home delivery of patient compliance in response to the opioid epidemic and adherence challenges. The company creates prescription compliance by restricting access to medication to only the patient/caregiver, keeping medication safe from divergence and abuse. PillSafe’s “intelligent” design includes several innovative features that benefit the delivery network from the manufacturer to the pharmacy to the patient. The patented technology includes an electronic label that can increase adherence messaging, two-step verification, or active advertising from the manufacturer to the pharmacy to the patient.

One year on, Mediagenix completes full integration of Spideo technology and talent, driving audience intelligence earlier in the pipeline and measurable customer gains.

BRUSSELS, BE / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Mediagenix, a global leader in smart content solutions to profitably connect the right content to the right audience, has completed the integration of Spideo personalization and recommendation capabilities across its Content Strategy, Content Value Management, and Content Scheduling solutions. The company announced the acquisition of Spideo at IBC2024, and in the year since, has successfully unified its technology and talent across the portfolio and organization. This milestone, which will be celebrated at IBC2025 (Stand 1.B57), strengthens the Mediagenix offering and positions the company to deliver even greater value to customers worldwide.

“The Spideo integration materially enriches the Mediagenix portfolio across the board. Every one of our solutions – content strategy, title management, scheduling, and personalization – has been strengthened with intelligence that compounds value over time. Equally important, the tremendous talent that joined Mediagenix through the acquisition has added unique knowledge and expertise that continue to accelerate innovation for our customers,” said Emmanuel Müller, Chief Product Officer, Mediagenix.

The Spideo recommendation and personal technology integration continue to accelerate the introduction of audience intelligence much earlier in the content pipeline, enabling strategic decision-making upstream in content strategy, curation, and scheduling. By shifting intelligence to these earlier stages, media companies can make better-informed choices when they matter most, driving stronger audience engagement, higher retention, and improved monetization.

“It is deeply rewarding to see the DNA of Spideo come to fruition at this scale. What began as personalization has now expanded into areas far beyond the initial scope, shaping strategy, operations, and monetization across the entire Mediagenix platform,” said Gabriel Mandelbaum, Spideo co-founder and VP Content Strategy & Management, Mediagenix.

At the core of this approach is the Self-Optimizing Content Monetization Flywheel, a framework that continuously feeds audience engagement data back into upstream processes, maximizing content monetization. With every cycle, operators refine content strategy and scheduling to improve outcomes, creating a system that gets more effective over time.

Customers are also realizing measurable gains. Globo, Brazil’s largest streaming platform, adopted Mediagenix personalization/recommendations innovation to power discovery on Globoplay.

“Personalization increases the lifetime value and shortens the payback on customer acquisition costs. Even our free-tier users create ROI through ad views, so personalization helps us maximize value across both paid and free audiences. When we deliver the right content at the right moment, LTV rises, CAC payback becomes faster, and engagement goes up-users spend more time on Globoplay, return more frequently, and as a result, are less likely to churn,” said Igor Macaubas, Director of Product & Engineering, Digital Products at Globo.

By replacing its legacy search with a Mediagenix recommendations engine, Globo achieved a 25% lift in user engagement. Internally benchmarked against alternatives, the Mediagenix solution outperformed on both relevance and engagement, providing greater impact through context-aware recommendations that helped redefine primetime. “AI-driven recommendations are the new prime time,” insists Macaubas.

Macau­bas recently joined Mediagenix and Devoncroft for a webinar on personalization and curation innovation, where he shared deeper insights into how Globo achieved these results. The webinar session is available on demand and provides a closer look at the strategies and outcomes behind Globo’s success.

Mediagenix’s rapid progress in this field has also been recognized by key analysts. Earlier this year, the company was named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Media and Entertainment 2025* for its breakthrough approach to embedding personalization across the content lifecycle.

MEET MEDIAGENIX AT IBC2025
Mediagenix will showcase the integrated portfolio and the self-optimizing content monetization flywheel framework at IBC2025 in Hall 1, Stand 1.B57. To book a meeting, visit: https://www.mediagenix.tv/event/ibc-2025/.

Every project is managed by trained specialists who walk customers through design choices, product specs, installation logistics, and long-term care. This hands-on support ensures homeowners feel confident at every stage.

Installation Backed by Trust and Training

Unlike many providers who outsource installation, GreenFox invests in a certified in-house team.

Their crews understand local architectural trends, municipal permitting requirements, and what it takes to keep homes efficient through seasonal extremes.

They’ve completed thousands of projects throughout Central Alberta, from single-window replacements to full-home exterior overhauls. Their reputation is built on word-of-mouth, online reviews, and a growing list of repeat clients who appreciate the company’s honesty, punctuality, and follow-through.

“This is our home too,” says Bezko. “We live here, we work here, and we take a lot of pride in helping fellow Albertans upgrade their homes with products that perform.”

A Culture of Community and Environmental Responsibility

GreenFox is deeply committed to making a positive impact beyond the homes they service. Through its partnership with Tree Canada, the company helps support environmental restoration initiatives, including replanting efforts in fire-damaged and deforested areas across Alberta.

They also run a local giving program, Heart 2 Heart, which provides financial and volunteer support for housing, youth initiatives, and family wellness programs across the province.

“We believe in business that gives back,” says Bezko. “The more we grow, the more we’re able to contribute to causes that matter to the communities we serve.”

What Sets GreenFox Apart

In a crowded industry, GreenFox differentiates itself with a clear, homeowner-first approach:

• In-house installation by certified professionals

• 25-year workmanship warranty

• Lifetime product warranties

• Energy-efficient, Canadian-made products

• Free consultations and detailed estimates

• Easy Financing Options – to fit any budget

This blend of service, quality, and transparency has helped GreenFox maintain a top-rated status across online platforms and now-through the 2025 Consumer Choice Award-with public recognition in both Northern, Southern and Central Alberta.

GreenFox’s Promise for the Future

As the demand for sustainable home improvements continues to grow, GreenFox remains committed to innovation and integrity. Their focus for 2025 and beyond is on expanding environmentally conscious product lines, maintaining a responsive service model, and continuing to empower homeowners through education and expert guidance.

“Recognition like this is a milestone,” says Bezko, “but it’s also a motivator. We’re excited to keep pushing for better-better materials, better service, and better outcomes for the families we serve in Central Alberta.”

Global Sports Brand Returns as Official Apparel Sponsor for Second Consecutive Year

SOTOGRANDE, SPAIN AND WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / U.S. Polo Assn., the official sports brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), returned for the second consecutive year as the Official Apparel Sponsor of the 2025 Sotogrande Gold Cup, Spain’s most prestigious polo tournament and the crown jewel of the 54^th International Polo Tournament at Ayala Polo Club in Sotogrande, Spain.

The Sotogrande Gold Cup, played from July 28 to August 30, brought together the sport’s most celebrated athletes, polo ponies, and teams from around the world for a high-goal competition set against the scenic backdrop of southern Spain. As part of its sponsorship, U.S. Polo Assn. provided outfitting for tournament staff, custom jerseys for umpires, exclusive cap giveaways, and a signature prize for the tournament’s MVP.

This annual event is considered the pinnacle of Spanish polo, attracting world-renowned players, including Barto and Jeta Castagnola, Poroto Cambiaso, Polito Pieres, Hilario Ulloa, Tomas Panelo, and Pablo MacDonough, to name a few, making it a highlight of the international polo calendar. The thrilling 2025 Sotogrande Gold Cup Final saw Amanara Polo Team defeat Dos Lunas with a score of 13-9 in a fast-paced game that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. This win also marked Amanara’s second major title of the season at Ayala Polo Club, following their Sotogrande Silver Cup victory earlier this summer.

“For the second year in a row, U.S. Polo Assn. had the incredible honor of being the Official Apparel Sponsor of the Sotogrande Gold Cup,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “Europe and Spain are important and growing for our brand, and this premier tournament allows us to strengthen our authentic connection to the sport while reaching new fans in a region where the sport and lifestyle intersect so beautifully.”

Hosted by Ayala Polo Club, the tournament featured world-class sponsors, including U.S. Polo Assn., Maserati, Fairmont La Hacienda, Heineken, Bacardi, and media partner Minuto Siete. The Sotogrande Gold Cup tournament continues to elevate the sport of polo in Europe and Spain with top-level competition and unmatched hospitality on an iconic stage for high-goal matches.

“Europe and Spain have a deep appreciation for tradition, lifestyle, and the sport of polo, making it a natural fit for U.S. Polo Assn.,” said Lorenzo Nencini, President of Incom S.p.A., U.S. Polo Assn.’s strategic partner in the region. “From the elegance of Sotogrande to the enthusiasm of our sports fans across the region, we see a strong opportunity to further U.S. Polo Assn.’s connection with consumers who value authenticity, quality, and timeless style.”
