Executive Commentary
“COVID-19 has forced every organization to be digital first – enterprises are moving from
waterfall to Agile project development so they can deliver continuous innovation. Agile
represents an incredibly powerful set of software development practices but its dynamic and
continual nature leads to complex ongoing challenges in planning resource investments,
optimizing those investments, and measuring the value they deliver,” said Chief Product and
Technology Officer at Apptio.

Diligent to Become Largest Global GRC SaaS Company through Galvanize
Acquisition
Diligent Corporation the modern governance company with a platform used by nearly 700,000 board directors
and leaders, across 19,000 clients, announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Galvanize, a global leader
in SaaS governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) software. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The Galvanize transaction follows Diligent’s planned acquisition of Steele Compliance Solutions, Inc. (“Steele”)
a leader in ethics and compliance SaaS, which the Company signed in February 2021. Both transactions are
expected to close in March. With the acquisition of Galvanize, Diligent will become the largest SaaS GRC
provider. The combined solution with enrichment from Steele will enable an integrated GRC picture – from
Audit, Risk, Information Security, Ethics and Compliance across the organization directly to the CEO, CFO and
Board. Customers will benefit from a powerful operating system that enables governance programs
organization-wide, backed by trusted concierge level customer support with NPS scores over 50. Galvanize, the
only company with comprehensive “Leader” recognition from both Gartner and Forrester analysts, brings the
only integrated cloud GRC platform powered by robotic data automation across security, risk management,
compliance, and audit software for 6,000 global customers in 130 countries, including more than half of the
Fortune 1000 and S&P 500. As a FedRAMP-authorized cloud service provider, Galvanize is trusted by more than
900 government agencies worldwide, including most large agencies in the U.S. federal government, to advance
their missions transparently and efficiently. Diligent plans to enhance its modern governance platform with
Galvanize’s 11 integrated risk and compliance solutions, bringing new insights to its leading board and leadership
application and operational governance solutions. Galvanize’s flagship cloud-based platform – HighBond –
aggregates risk and compliance concerns to top-level strategy across the organization, with real-time dashboards
of comprehensive business metrics to the C-Suite and Board.
“We are on the cusp of a new era. Executives and their boards are navigating incredible challenges and
opportunities across all of their stakeholders. More than ever, they need an integrated view of data and
information, as well as clear visibility and confidence for decision-making, to effectively maximize
performance and mitigate risk,” said CEO of Diligent. “Risk and Compliance data traditionally sits in
disparate systems across audit, compliance and risk functions and make it difficult and laborious to combine
into one view for the CFO, CEO and Board. Together with Galvanize and Steele, we are excited to drive
even greater impact for our clients through a completely integrated GRC platform so they can run more
effective, equitable, sustainable, and successful organizations.”

ABAS ERP 20 - New Product Release
7
Solution Description
Announcing the most extensive upgrade in abas 40-year company history - abas ERP 20. Feature rich with customer-specific updates made possible thanks
to the unique architecture. The new release focuses on more process security with enhanced controls, offering a new dashboard technology and integrating
previously chargeable add-ons into an overall ERP package, while being highly customizable. With the release of abas ERP 20, abas Software is expanding
the range of functions of its ERP software, which has over 120,000 users in small and medium-sized manufacturing and distribution businesses around the
world. The focus of the updated version is on increasing process security while maximizing flexibility in order to adapt processes to individual company
needs. In addition, over a dozen functions that were previously subject to a surcharge are now included in the standard scope of delivery. These functions
include mobile applications for warehouse management and shop floor for production data acquisition (BDE). The electronic invoice function is now also
integrated in the bundle - optionally in the now supported e-invoice format ZUGFeRD 2.1, which enables the automatic transfer of invoices to the document
management system. Plus the abas Dashboard technology, which in addition to preconfigured standard overviews and cockpits, allows you to build views
according to individual requirements in the dashboard editor - without any programming? Another unique feature of the abas upgrade is that all
customer-specific adaptations are retained during the update. This is not the case with most ERP manufacturers. With abas, the individual programming in
the installed version does not have to be carried out again after the update is in place. This lowers the total cost of ownership.

See How Artificial Intelligence is Revolutionizing Healthcare and Medical
Companies

AI tools help build and develop medical market sectors such as test result analysis, telediagnosis, and medical data processing. They
change not only the hospital management system, but also the lives of individual patients. With the aid of IBM Power servers,
Comarch experts have developed an algorithmic platform for EKG signal analysis, an advanced document classifier, a medical
e-interview, and a remote diagnostic point. Comarch Medical AI Cloud is a package of services that assist doctors and nurses, hospital
and outpatient clinic managers, as well as the patients themselves. With the aid of artificial intelligence, the Comarch solutions
support doctors and patients, speed up data analysis and diagnosis, improve the organization of medical knowledge and data, simplify
the treatment process, boost performance and healthcare quality, and cut costs. All thus is made possible by IBM Power servers,
designed to support processes that require reliability and high computing power, such as those that use artificial intelligence or
machine learning. Comarch’s AI products allow huge amount of patient data to be collected remotely, after which this information
can be transmitted directly to the center responsible for data analysis. The mechanism has been used, for example, in devices designed
to monitor ECG signals, such as an advanced Holter monitor that performs 24-48h testing.

AIO and Finastra awarded $1M grant from the BIRD Foundation to expedite
banks’ customer onboarding and loan origination
11
AIO - Verified Financial Identity, a Fintech company based in Tel Aviv, and Finastra, announced that they have been awarded a USD $1 million
grant from the Board of Governors of the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation for the co-development
of a digital customer onboarding solution. Developed by AIO and available on Finastra’s FusionFabric.cloud open developer platform and app
marketplace, the solution automates the process of establishing the financial identity of a loan applicant in order to meet Know Your Customer
(KYC)/Know Your Business (KYB) regulations. The project received the largest available grant through the BIRD Foundation following a
thorough review by BIRD-appointed evaluators from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the Israel Innovation Authority. Driving factors that led to the grant being awarded to AIO and Finastra include the creation of an
innovative solution that solves real-world problems and the ease with which financial institutions can leverage that technology. Current manual
processes related to loan origination can be costly and time consuming. AIO’s solution, which integrates with Finastra’s Total Lending suite,
speeds up customer onboarding by up to 80% and saves costs by securely automating the collection and verification of digital financial documents.
Patented AIO technology maintains data collection with the customer, automatically verifying digital documents. These are then supplied digitally
to the financial institution through Finastra’s Total Lending.

Payment Fraud Prevention app from NetGuardians sees success on
Finastra’s FusionFabric.cloud
12
Finastra announced the availability of NetGuardians’ Payment Fraud Prevention app on its FusionFabric.cloud open development platform. The
app uses artificial intelligence to proactively detect fraudulent payments in real-time and reduce fraud losses. NetGuardians’ operational
experience shows that compared with traditional anti-fraud offerings the software reduces the number of false positives by up to 83 percent,
resulting in bank staff spending an estimated 93 percent less time investigating suspicious payments. The NetGuardians app, available via
FusionFabric.cloud, is pre-integrated with Finastra’s corporate payments, cash management and retail banking solutions: Fusion Global PAYplus,
Fusion Payments To Go, Fusion Cash Management, Financial Messaging Services and Fusion Essence. A handful of customers have already
selected the pre-integrated app to fight payment fraud more effectively. The app uses AI and machine learning to analyze customer behavior and
accurately score payments for fraud. This approach allows banks to reduce their fraud losses while blocking fewer legitimate customer payments
than traditional rules-based fraud detection engines. Using the NetGuardians pre-defined AI/ML risk models, banks are able to tackle payment
fraud challenges by detecting suspicious payments coming from social engineering techniques or scams, such as invoice redirection, CEO-fraud
and others. When a fraudulent transaction is detected, it is temporarily held and an alert is generated in real-time and routed to the relevant
stakeholders through risk dashboards and forensics tools for further investigation.

VR FleetCare Goes for Growth with Infor and Midport

Infor announced that Finnish rail maintenance leader VR FleetCare will standardise on Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise as the
technology platform for the digital transformation of operations throughout the Nordic and Baltic countries. Spanning all business
processes, the solution will be rolled out to approximately 1,000 users and replaces a legacy system that can no longer support VR

industry specialist Midport Scandinavia, Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise will enable VR FleetCare to adapt to the regulatory
changes in the Finnish passenger rail transport industry and enable the sale and delivery of services to multiple rail operators.

the functionality offered by the applications. Strong, industry-specific references also featured heavily in the decisions made by VR
FleetCare. These demonstrated not only rapid deployment of the software but also that VR FleetCare will always be on the latest
release of the software without expensive and time-consuming upgrade projects. The ability of the Infor OS cloud platform to connect
with third-party ERP and group financial software was an additional, vital factor.

Resident Care Reinforced by New Feature of Yardi Senior IQ
23
Yardi® Senior IQ delivers business intelligence that helps senior living community managers make safe, smart
decisions. Staffing Analysis, a new addition to the solution, mitigates risk further by ensuring that shift assignments
meet resident care requirements. Staffing Analysis automatically draws resident care information from Yardi® EHR,
an electronic health record system, then lists the workers, task time allotments and skillsets assigned to each shift on a
dashboard. If a shift is overstaffed or understaffed by workers or skillsets, managers can transfer tasks or staff with
drag-and-drop functionality. When care plans change in Yardi EHR, the Staffing Analysis dashboard automatically
resets task time allocations. Executive directors, lead nurses and others who assign shifts gain efficiency with a
streamlined staff efficiency tool. Staffing Analysis leverages existing care records without interfaces and eliminates the
need to compile multiple reports, prepare spreadsheets or rekey data.

enterprise resource planning (ERP) system set up in 2007 in NSE Group’s services business unit, which coordinates and handles the
interface with customers, the supply chain operations and the repairs of consumer electronics, aeronautics and defence equipment.
