Cineplex Digital Networks (“CDN”), continues to garner recognition for its strategic thinking and technology, as it was presented with the Overall Content Creator of the Year award at the 2015 International Digital Signage Awards (“IDSA”), for its second consecutive year.

CDN received two additional category awards during the April 22 announcement, for Exhibition & Conventions and Restaurant, Catering & Hospitality.

“We are extremely proud of our teams and of their continuously outstanding work,” said Nick Prigioniero, President, Cineplex Digital Networks. “CDN strives to be at the forefront of creative and technological innovation and working with top brands like Tim Hortons has helped us raise the bar within the QSR industry.”

Tim Hortons’ Interactive Wall, designed by CDN, garnered the top prize in the Exhibitions & Conventions category.

The prototype was developed to showcase future innovation for guest engagement and entertainment within the restaurant. Showcasing localized information, interactive maps and infographics, videos, and multi-language support, the Interactive Wall was one of the highlights of Tim Hortons’ Restaurant of the Future – a fully functional future concept store that was built within the Toronto Convention Centre.

“We are excited to hear of Cineplex Digital Networks’ recognition,” said David Clanachan, President and COO, Tim Hortons Canada. “The Interactive Wall was one of the hallmark features in the Restaurant of the Future and this award demonstrates CDN’s talent and commitment to delivering the best digital innovative experiences for our guests.”

The IDSAs are an internationally held competition, judged by industry professionals, celebrating the best digital screen media projects in the world.

Xerox Helps Enterprises Conquer Paper Predicaments By Automating Work Processes

Xerox solves the paper puzzle with new services and tools that improve the way retailers, financial institutions, healthcare systems and other large enterprises deal with documents.

The offerings are the latest example of Xerox building greater automation and intelligence into its solutions and products, with the goal of helping clients better manage their critical business processes.

“Organizations can have a love-hate relationship with paper. It remains critical to everything from invoicing to collaboration, but it can also cripple productivity. That’s why workflow automation is a business priority,” said Mike Feldman, president, Large Enterprise Operations, Xerox. “Eliminating the inherent issues of manual, paper-based work streams can improve operations and accelerate benefits derived from managed print services.”

Smarter supply chain

Xerox’s Workflow Automation Solution for Supply Chain Optimization, a service-based retail offering, uses the Datawatch Managed Analytics Platform to digitize, centralize, automate and govern error-prone and costly manual steps of a product lifecycle. The solution reduces labor and print costs, simplifies inventory and invoice reconciliation and improves fill rates by syncing data and applying automated analytics at the store level.

Automation across industries 

To further strengthen its vertical industry offerings, Xerox introduces several workflow automation solutions built on its partnership with Hyland, creator of OnBase, to automate processes critical to business functions, such as:

 

  • Loan Application Processing – captures loan application inputs from sources such as multifunction printers, mobile devices and web applications, and automatically routes them to loan officers through a tailored workflow. External data sources – such as credit reporting services and vehicle registration databases – are seamlessly integrated into the process and stored in a secure content management system.
  • Health Records Information Management – helps hospitals improve productivity and enable better visibility into patient care by providing a single, comprehensive view of all clinical documents and data stored in an Electronic Health Record, Picture Archiving and Communication System and clinical content repository.
  • Human Resources Onboarding – increases the speed and efficiency of the onboarding process by removing paper, automating steps and providing management oversight. New hires are granted access to an employee portal to complete e-form “paperwork” and other required documentation online. Supporting organizations, such as facilities, IT and payroll, are engaged to ensure timely provisioning. Data is placed under records management control for future reference, retrieval or destruction.

Expansion to the cloud

Xerox Digital Alternatives, which lets users sign, annotate, share, save and read documents from one interface, is now available in a Xerox private cloud. New powerful analytics also accelerate an organization’s paper to digital migration. In addition, Xerox’s DocuShare® Private Cloud Service allows for easy deployment of an enterprise content management and collaboration platform to capture, manage and share content securely in the cloud from a mobile device or PC.

Analytics drive smarter print decisions 

The Xerox Secure Print Manager Suite with User Analytics powered by CompleteView® from NewField IT provides an analysis of who is printing what, when, how much and where. With this insight, Xerox counsels businesses on how to optimize their print environments.

Business apps simplify mobile printing

New apps designed for the mobile workforce make secure, no-hassle printing easier for large enterprises with the Xerox Print Service Plug-in for Android users, the Mobile Access App and Mobile Link App.

Environics Communications continues to expand its thriving digital marketing brand, Agnostic, hiring a new wave of senior talent. Matthew Ames joins the firm as Director of Digital Media, Kim Le as Digital Account Director, and André Csapo as Senior Digital Strategist. Erik Sherman rounds out the group as Engagement Strategist.

This latest move comes on the heels of announcing recent additions to the agency’s creative roster and bringing its digital-leaning President, Paul Lockhard, on board last fall.

An expert in lead-generation and performance-driven digital media, Matthew will help drive clients’ influence marketing initiatives by integrating strategic paid media buys to improve performance. Seasoned in content creation and digital strategy, Matthew is the former Director of Acquisition for Clear Fit, a SaaS-based recruitment profiling service. Prior to this, Matthew was a Managing Director at EQ Works (formerly Cyberplex) responsible for building out their performance-based website development division.

Kim Le joins to manage senior-level client relationships; ensuring all work is aligned with strategic direction. Responsible for driving integrated brand planning and leading digital activations, Kim is a savvy account manager backed by years of experience servicing brands such as Kraft and Microsoft from shops like Trapeze (now UNION) and MacLaren McCann. Most recently, she was Director of Client Services at Brought to You By, a creative studio focused on branding, content development, and video production.

André brings over a decade of North American experience creating customer-centric research programs that use design thinking, ethnography, and systems modeling to better connect customers to their clients. Before joining the team, André worked as a strategist and qualitative researcher for the Pitney Bowes’ innovation group.  Prior to this he served as a director with Innovation Focus, a US-based consulting firm where he helped build organizational insight capabilities for global brands such as Dell Computers, Bank of Canada, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck and others.

Erik comes to the team with solid experience in community management and social influencer engagement. Erik most recently worked at Canada’s largest direct bank, Tangerine (formerly ING Direct), as both a Social Media and Online Community Specialist managing online platforms and brand ambassador strategies for over two years.  Prior to Tangerine, Erik worked at Mosaic Experiential Marketing activating programs and managing online communities for several Fortune 500 companies.

“We recognize that our clients’ influence and brand-trust needs are constantly evolving in the social media and digital spheres,” said Paul Lockhard, President, Environics Communications. “With these new members joining our family, we’re strongly positioned to create even smarter solutions and sharper digital experiences that ladder up to client KPIs. It’s an exciting time for us as we embrace our evolution into a fully integrated, multi-disciplinary agency.”
