Avalara, Inc. a leading provider of tax compliance automation for businesses of all sizes, announced that it has acquired Transaction Tax

businesses and their internal tax teams, offering U.S. sales and use tax rates, laws, software, and customer support required for the
biggest and most complex companies. Avalara and TTR bring together leading tax technology with trusted tax content, extending
Avalara’s current products, adding new capabilities, and reaching new segments. TTR’s team, with its culture, training, and experience
serving enterprise businesses, will add enterprise capabilities across Avalara’s content, product, sales, and customer support. TTR brings
Avalara more than 1,400 customers, including blue chip customers that represent more than 30% of the Fortune 500, the largest or
second largest company in each of 40 industries, 9 of the top 10 healthcare companies, 8 of the top 10 telecommunications companies
and 5 of the top 10 IT services firms. TTR will operate as a subsidiary of Avalara, continuing to serve its customers with trusted solutions
while integrating key products into Avalara’s automation tools.

• Indirect Tax Content: With TTR, Avalara will now have the opportunity to build the most robust compliance content library
available through a cloud-based, integrated automation platform. Since its founding TTR has focused almost exclusively on tax content
and as a result has amassed an enviable database of content that complements, expands, and enriches Avalara’s existing database. It adds
to some of Avalara’s most important vertical markets such as retail, telecommunications, food and grocery, and manufacturing, and
contributes new categories including automobile, construction, and financial services.
• Content Subscriptions: TTR’s core business is a subscription service for tax professionals in mid- and large-sized businesses to
determine and validate tax decisions and avoid costly mistakes. The content required for subscription services of this kind extends
Avalara’s existing database to now include detailed research and documentation. For the first time, Avalara will have a subscription
product for its customers to validate, manage, and action tax content to support their business.
• Certificate Management: Avalara and TTR manage two leading tax document management platforms, Avalara’s CertCapture and
TTR’s Exemption Certificate Management System (ECMS). Avalara intends to combine the two offerings to create an industry-leading
product family to support any business size.

of Avalara. “I have long admired the TTR team and I am excited to have them join Avalara. As our teams work to integrate and
execute, we believe the exchange of expertise, information, and technologies between the two companies will improve our
products, grow our business, and continue to pioneer tax technology services in our field. As more businesses move to rely on

Avaloq launches Engage app, allowing wealth managers to interact
seamlessly with clients via social messaging services
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com

Solution Description
Avaloq, a leader in digital banking solutions, has launched the Engage app, a solution that allows wealth managers and advisers to engage with
clients through social messaging channels such as WhatsApp and WeChat in a secure and compliant manner. Avaloq Engage has been developed
to help financial institutions capitalize on the growth of new sales and service channels and comes at a time when “conversational banking” has
become a major trend in wealth advisory and the wider financial services sector. The rollout of Avaloq Engage follows the recent launch of Avaloq
Wealth and forms part of a new stand-alone, core-agnostic suite of digital wealth management platforms.The Engage app allows relationship
managers to service clients who use social messaging services in a responsive and timely manner and engage in meaningful conversations in real
time through chat, notification and video calls. It also offers news and content provision, semantic language processing and smart “client intent”
detection to deliver a higher level of service. For clients, it allows them to interact with their relationship manager using their preferred channels
and perform banking transactions in a secure and compliant manner.Use of digital channels and the demand for new ways of client interaction have
accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, with engagement levels likely to escalate further as social messaging services become mainstream
platforms. WhatsApp usage increased by 51% during COVID-19 lockdown, for instance, and many banks and wealth managers have found it
difficult to maintain the high levels of availability and responsiveness required to deliver tailored advice at the time when clients need it most.

contract analysis and negotiation

AI-powered contract analytics solution designed for incomingAs an extension of DocuSign Insight—the enterprise AI solution that lets companies
find, search and understand the agreements they already have—Analyzer streamlines the process of reviewing and negotiating agreements when
companies first receive them. It uses AI to provide legal, sales, procurement and other stakeholders with clear and actionable insight into the risks
and opportunities in the documents they are being asked to review and sign—before it's too late to negotiate better terms.These issues were
quantified in recent studies. In one*, almost half the companies surveyed faced significant risks as they couldn't easily detect problematic language
in contracts. In another survey, a third of companies said contracts take an average of over 30 hours to negotiate. And 65% experienced delays in
closing deals as a result of contract management challenges.Analyzer works by breaking down an incoming agreement into individual clauses,
which it can recognize by type using a combination of AI technologies. It then conducts a detailed risk-assessment based on the organization's own
legal and business standards, delivering the results in easy-to-understand scorecards available within Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, and
DocuSign's contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution. Analyzer also simplifies the editing process with single-click access to recommended
replacement language from an intelligent library of pre-approved clauses.

Druva Introduces Integrated Cloud Backup and Archive for NAS Data

Solution Description
Druva, Inc., the leader in Cloud Data Protection and Management, announced the industry’s first cloud-based, integrated backup and archive for
network attached storage (NAS) systems. The new solution improves backup performance by over 5X, introduces intelligent cold-storage tiering,
and helps diffuse storage growth with integrated storage insights. Druva’s direct-to-cloud architecture, which eliminates redundant copies and
infrastructure, allows organizations to protect, manage, and maximize the value of unstructured data with greater simplicity and lower costs.
Unstructured data is a critical component to business operations, representing more than 80 percent of the total data stored in enterprise storage
systems, but managing this rapidly growing data source through its life cycle has become increasingly complex and expensive. According to a
recent IDC survey, 40 percent of businesses expect unstructured datasets to grow between 30-49 percent over the next two years, while more than
one-third of participants indicated that this data is currently retained “forever”. Organizations routinely maintain multiple copies of a dataset,
including versions for short-term recovery and off-site copies for resiliency, long-term retention, compliance and more, which increases the cost
of storing and managing data. As CIOs increasingly focus on moving data and business services to the cloud to increase organizational agility and
resilience, Druva now offers the industry’s only direct-to-cloud solution which can seamlessly backup and archive unstructured data without the
need to configure, integrate and manage cloud storage tiers.

• Oracle Logistics Digital Assistant: Provides on-the-go access to real-time supply chain information through a conversational interface that responds quickly, improves user satisfaction, and increases business efficiencies. In addition, users

Oracle Cloud Observability and Management Platform Now Available
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
36
Solution Description
Oracle announced the Oracle Cloud Observability and Management Platform, bringing together a comprehensive set of management, diagnostic, and analytics services
that help customers eliminate the complexity, risk, and cost associated with today’s fragmented approach for managing multicloud and on-premises environments. The
Oracle Cloud Observability and Management Platform is available in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and is the industry’s most complete solution, consisting of a suite
of services that provide a unified view across the entire software stack. It enables easy diagnostics of cloud-native and traditional technologies deployed in the cloud or
on-premises. With built-in machine learning, it automatically detects anomalies and enables quick remediation in near-real time. The platform has adopted an open,
standards-based approach that is vendor-agnostic, supporting ecosystem interoperability out-of-the-box with Slack, Grafana, Twilio, PagerDuty and others. Customers’
IT environments have evolved rapidly, but existing monitoring and management offerings have not kept up with the increasing complexity found with multicloud and
on-premises IT environments. In fact, Gartner estimates that more than a third of organizations use 30 or more monitoring tools.[i] Organizations have experienced a rise
in the complexity and cost of managing their existing infrastructure and a growing number of emerging technologies such as Kubernetes, containers, converged
databases, and microservices. Instead of a collection of siloed and fragmented tools, the Oracle Cloud Observability and Management Platform provides customers with
a comprehensive and connected solution comprised of related services. This includes the newly announced Logging, Logging Analytics, Database Management,
Application Performance Monitoring, Operations Insights and Service Connector Hub services, as well as existing services such as Monitoring, Notifications, Events,
Functions, Streaming and OS Management. Customers using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer have immediate access to the
new offering.

Oracle Introduces Exadata Cloud Service X8M
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
37
Solution Description
Oracle announced the new generation of Oracle Exadata Cloud Service, now based on the Exadata X8M platform, available this month on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure. Customers can accelerate their most challenging transaction processing and data analytics projects with Exadata X8M in 26 global cloud
regions and Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer. With architectural identicality across cloud and on-premises, Oracle Exadata Cloud Service X8M makes it
easy for customers to move even the largest and most demanding databases and workloads seamlessly to the cloud with no changes to applications.
Breakthrough performance, scale and elasticity enable Exadata Cloud Service X8M to run applications needing multiple workloads and data types in a single
converged Oracle Database. In contrast, AWS users need to perform complex and costly integration of multiple different database services.Oracle Exadata
X8M, the new platform for Exadata Cloud Service, features Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) from databases to Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory
in smart storage servers, completely bypassing the OS, IO, and network software stacks. This enables 2.5 times higher transaction processing IOs, and 10
times better IO latency than the previous industry-leading Exadata Cloud Service release. Database IOs are 50 times faster than Amazon AWS Relational
Database Service (RDS) using all-flash storage. RDMA runs over a new, ultra-fast, 100Gbs RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) network fabric for the
highest analytics throughput.Exadata Cloud Service X8M also features a new generation of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) that delivers greatly
enhanced application transparent database scale-out and high availability for all types of database workloads. In addition, fully-active Oracle Data Guard
database replicas offload SQL reads and writes while providing cloud-automated disaster protection within and across regions.

pandemic revealed needs for reskilling, upskilling and training to help companies and academic institutions accelerate their transformation. Hybrid learning is becoming the

creating projects and collaborating actively with their peers, experts and mentors.3DEXPERIENCE Edu builds upon Dassault Systèmes’decades of experience in 11 industries,

Medidata Launches myMedidata LIVE: Patient-Facing Video Visit
Capability Built Directly into the Rave EDC Platform
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
41
Solution Description
Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes Company, the global leader in creating end-to-end solutions supporting the entire clinical trial process announced the availability of
myMedidata LIVE, a new feature on the myMedidata patient portal. myMedidata LIVE is a web-based, live video conferencing capability connecting patients virtually
with their clinical trial study staff. Built on the industry’s leading Rave EDC (electronic data capture) platform already in use at more clinical research sites globally than
any other system, myMedidata LIVE gives researchers and patients a way to engage in remote site visits within the platform of site and patient-facing technologies they
are already using on the study. myMedidata is Medidata’s newly released patient portal solution that provides patients with virtual access to all of their study needs in a
single web application. It is built using responsive design principles -- as well as input from Medidata’s Patient Insights team, a group of patients and patient advocates
-- and made to be accessible from any device with an internet connection. Particularly relevant during the current COVID-19 pandemic when in-person visits might be
restricted, myMedidata LIVE video visits between patients and sites can replace scheduled site-based appointments and allow the study team to complete its data entry
in Rave while the patients remain engaged offsite through myMedidata.The latest version of myMedidata also includes two other important clinical tools, which have
been redesigned for virtual use and can now be used through the web with a patient’s myMedidata account: myMedidata eConsent and myMedidata eCOA (clinical
outcomes assessment). Both tools give sites the ability to maintain a consistent and traceable process, since they are directly integrated with Rave EDC, and use the same
advanced, trusted technology previously accessed through the eConsent and eCOA apps. In addition, myMedidata eConsent now provides patients the opportunity to
learn about and consent to clinical trials at home or at a remote location, and myMedidata eCOA easily and accurately captures patient outcomes.

Solution Description
SurveyMonkey a leader in agile software solutions for customer experience, market research, and survey feedback, launched its new customer experience (CX) solution, the GetFeedback platform.
Announced at SurveyMonkey’s inaugural customer experience event, the CX Impact Summit, the multi-channel offering is an easy-to-deploy, cost-efficient CX solution that helps organizations set
up their CX program within days—not months—to quickly understand and act on customer insights. This agile approach to customer experience allows organizations to deliver meaningful experiences
that increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. With the GetFeedback platform, companies will spend less time configuring complicated CX technology and more time focusing on what matters most:
nurturing customer relationships. Compared to service heavy CX offerings, the GetFeedback platform fills a market gap by helping enterprise customers deploy the solution quickly and easily.
Customers can collect critical feedback across all digital channels and bring key operational data into one platform. A 360-degree view of the customer has become even more important for customer
retention during the COVID-19 pandemic—and company leaders are taking note. SurveyMonkey research launched last week revealed that 89% of surveyed C-level executives say that they are
extremely invested in CX, and 51% of executives say that bringing together CX and operational data is a top challenge they face with their CX initiatives. In addition, 43% said that their companies
have accelerated their digital transformation efforts, while 68% have added additional customer touchpoints as a result of the pandemic.Organizations can now seamlessly leverage their customer and
operational data, and power automated actions that improve the overall customer experience. With a new look and feel from the previous GetFeedback and Usabilla solutions, the updated combined
platform features include:
• Cohesive User Experience: A cohesive user experience for customers to manage programs across any digital channel.
• Workspaces: New analytics experience to bring feedback from any channel together, which also includes AI-powered text analysis and the power to segment by varying customer attributes.
• AX Platform: Through the GetFeedback Agile Experience Platform, users can unify CX data and customer attributes in one place, automate CX programs, and integrate with the other apps they
already use to get work done, like Microsoft, Slack, and Jira. SurveyMonkey continues to invest in scaling its enterprise offerings and investing in integrations with customers’ systems of record.

It uses AI to provide legal, sales, procurement and other stakeholders with clear and actionable insight into the risks and opportunities in the documents they are being asked to review and sign—before it's too late to negotiate better terms.These issues were quantified in recent studies. In one*, almost half the companies surveyed faced significant risks as they couldn't easily detect problematic language in contracts. In another survey, a third of companies said contracts take an average of over 30 hours to negotiate. And 65% experienced delays in closing deals as a result of contract management challenges.Analyzer works by breaking down an incoming agreement into individual clauses, which it can recognize by type using a combination of AI technologies. It then conducts a detailed risk-assessment based on the organization's own legal and business standards, delivering the results in easy-to-understand scorecards available within Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, and DocuSign's contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution. Analyzer also simplifies the editing process with single-click access to recommended replacement language from an intelligent library of pre-approved clauses.

Druva’s direct-to-cloud architecture, which eliminates redundant copies and infrastructure, allows organizations to protect, manage, and maximize the value of unstructured data with greater simplicity and lower costs. Unstructured data is a critical component to business operations, representing more than 80 percent of the total data stored in enterprise storage systems, but managing this rapidly growing data source through its life cycle has become increasingly complex and expensive. According to a recent IDC survey, 40 percent of businesses expect unstructured datasets to grow between 30-49 percent over the next two years, while more than one-third of participants indicated that this data is currently retained “forever”. Organizations routinely maintain multiple copies of a dataset, including versions for short-term recovery and off-site copies for resiliency, long-term retention, compliance and more, which increases the cost of storing and managing data. As CIOs increasingly focus on moving data and business services to the cloud to increase organizational agility and resilience, Druva now offers the industry’s only direct-to-cloud solution which can seamlessly backup and archive unstructured data without the need to configure, integrate and manage cloud storage tiers.
