NOVAtime Technology, Inc. Hosts Its 2014 Encounters Conference at the Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas

(PRWEB) February 11, 2014

NOVAtime Technology, Inc. (http://www.novatime.com), a forward-thinking workforce management solution development company that continues to apply the latest technological advancements to its suite of Time and Attendance / Workforce Management products and services, announced today that it has successfully hosted its second User Conference February 4 – 6 at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

In line with the Encounters Conference theme of “Mobility,” NOVAtime previewed exciting mobile offerings planned for 2014. One of the highlights of the conference was Frank Su, Founder and CEO of NOVAtime, providing a live demonstration of the new Advanced Schedule Manager (ASM) product. The demonstration showed one employee calling in sick and the system automatically sending text messages to several qualified employees to fill the position. As one employee electronically accepted the position, the system filled the open schedule. Another employee who responded a bit later received a declination message, saying the position had been filled.

NOVAtime User Conference attendees also enjoyed a virtual tour of the data center, as well as overviews of new features that were introduced to the solution in 2013 and new functionalities on the 2014 development roadmap. Additionally, attendees benefitted from sessions presented by Adam D.H. Grant (“Use of Mobile Apps in the Workplace: Privacy and Security”) and Alfred J. Landegger, Esq. (“2014 Wage and Hour Trends and Litigation”). Mr. Grant is a shareholder of Alpert, Barr & Grant; Mr. Landegger is a senior partner at Landegger Baron Law Group, which specializes in employment labor laws and workers’ compensation.

During a Product Review Board session, NOVAtime’s guest speaker, Kevin Soohoo, CIO at Air Systems, discussed how their company has been successfully utilizing the NOVAtime system via PCs and iPads to manage both union and non-union employees since July 2011. Mr. Soohoo elaborated on the large-group feature that was implemented in NOVAtime to support over 15,000 combinations of jobs and work order codes.

Many NOVAtime team members were on hand, meeting with attendees that they have worked with on implementations and supporting installations. In addition to NOVAtime personnel, the conference provided an opportunity for attendees to network with other NOVAtime customers. Lucy Saldana said, “It’s really good to meet the other users and learn from each other. The interaction with other users was very helpful. I enjoyed learning about some features that are already in the system and ones that will be available in 2014.” Another conference attendee commented that she really enjoyed meeting other NOVAtime customers, and tweeted, “I had a good time at the banquet.”

NOVAtime’s social media was flooded with posts from enthusiastic conference attendees. Reyna Garcia posted on Twitter, “Best conference ever!!!! Great company!!!” Someone else tweeted, “History, products, networking… great conference.”

A NOVAtime user and conference attendee posted on Facebook, “I am excited to be here again. I was looking forward to this since last year’s conference. Looking forward to learning what is new for 2014. Excited for the multi edit feature.” Later, the same person posted again, “I downloaded the mobile app while at the conference. Thanks to this technology I was able to see some employees left work to go to the Seahawks parade but didn’t clock out.”

The Encounters Conference not only provided information to users, but also enabled NOVAtime to gain insight from customers in order to guide future development. “The conference was very informative. It was a very pleasant experience, and we got to suggest new features that will help us be more productive,” said Tatjana Projkovska of Gerawan Farming Inc.

Brian Harris, Vice President of Client Services at NOVAtime, concluded, “This conference was the perfect opportunity for our customers to meet, share their experiences, and learn from each other. It was also an opportunity for them to witness the passion and energy of the NOVAtime team that continues to develop innovative advancements within the Workforce Management / Time and Attendance industry.”

Smashburger Named Top Brand and Fazolis CEO Named Top Executive in 2014 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers

LOUISVILLE, KY (PRWEB) May 19, 2014

“The 2014 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers” publication was released this morning for download, after an awards gala last night in Chicago, timed to coincide with the National Restaurant Association tradeshow. Both “The Top 100” and the event were sponsored by restaurant equipment manufacturer, Henny Penny.

Judges determined the top 50 brands based on industry nominations and subsequent debate on the significance of the nominees to the segment. Criteria included innovation, growth, social responsibility and overall contribution. In addition, the judges acknowledged the 20 industry executives who have most contributed to the evolution and health of fast casual, the most influential menu innovations, and the most impactful food and technology trends.

Smashburger, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Fazoli’s were recognized as the first, second and third brands, respectively. Carl Howard, CEO of Fazoli’s, was named the industry’s No. 1 executive. The top menu trend was bite-sized food and snacks. The most influential technology trend went to mobile apps.

“This year’s competition was fiercer than ever; we had nearly 900 nominations,” said Cherryh Butler, senior editor of FastCasual.com. “In the end, the judges could not ignore Smashburger’s success. With more than 250 restaurants worldwide and a new CEO at the helm, the chain’s growth isn’t stopping, with plans to open another 70 to 80 units by the end of 2014. Combine that with its dedication to menu innovation and its focus on each local community in which it resides — every city has a special burger honoring its customs and serves local craft beers — and you have a fun, innovative brand that people love.”

“This award means a lot to us. Fast casual dining has been, and continues to be, the fastest growing segment of the restaurant industry,” said Greg Creighton, chief operating officer of Smashburger. “We saw a need for better burgers in this segment seven years ago. People were looking for quality, service and atmosphere that the fast food burger chains couldn’t answer.”

“We are the leader in the fast casual burger business,” continued Creighton. “There is a healthy appetite for our quality burgers, chicken and salads. It’s the reason we are 267 units in seven short years. We plan to have about 400 restaurants open by the end of next year.”

“The Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers represent those brands, individuals and trends that are truly moving the needle in our industry,” said Jason Moles, field marketing manager of Henny Penny. “We are excited to partner once again with Networld Media Group and FastCasual.com to recognize these innovative brands.”

Of the $ 231 billion limited-service category, fast casuals now account for $ 34.5 billion, according to Technomic. The fast casual segment is driving the majority of growth in the restaurant industry, increasing sales 11 percent in 2013, compared to the industry average of 3.5 percent.

This year’s Top 100 report can be downloaded here.

São Paulo (PRWEB) May 14, 2014

Christie® showcases state-of-the-art solutions for the business, broadcast, control room and digital signage markets at the first TecnoMultimedia InfoComm Brazil 2014, held at Centro de Exposições Imigrantes, São Paulo, May 13-15.

“This trade show is a first for Brazil and Christie is proud to be part of its inaugural event,” says Bruno Tavares, general manager of Christie Digital Systems South America Ltda. “The opening of our first South American office in São Paulo last year and our participation in this trade show demonstrates Christie’s commitment to this growing region, where the demand for Pro AV, visualization, control room and simulation solutions is noticeably increasing.

“Christie’s high performance, cost-effective solutions are supported by first-rate customer and technical support from our Brazilian office.”

Christie G Series and Q Series

Christie will showcase the Christie DHD600-G 1-chip DLP® projector. Boasting 6,000 lumens with WXGA, HD, and WUXGA resolution in a single-lamp design, the Christie DHD600-G is the brightest in its category and provides the exceptional image quality, brightness and dependability that is essential for presentations in board and conference rooms. For higher education, government facilities and houses of worship with limited budgets, the Christie G Series delivers a cost-effective solution with the long-life DLP® technology needed in such environments.

The Christie DWX951-Q – part of the Christie Q Series 1-chip DLP® projectors – will also be featured. Usable in single or dual lamp mode, Christie Q Series delivers best-in-class performance with brightness options from 8,500 to 10,000 lumens in XGA, WXGA, and WUXGA resolutions. The Christie Q Series is equipped with eClarity™ – advanced image processing that significantly enhances images by providing greater control over image sharpness, gloss and shading. For rental staging applications including concerts, conventions and other events where visuals are a vital component, end users will recognize the Q Series’ difference when blending or warping images from multiple projectors onto flat, curved, hexagonal, or spherical surfaces.

Commercial grade full HD flat panel

Another highlight on the Christie booth will be the new Christie FHD651-T flat panel.

Geographic distance is no limit for Christie Brio – presentations and high quality media are shared between sites quickly and easily so that team collaboration is easy.

Brio allows the user to connect and present virtually and collaborate in real-time while displaying high-quality uncompressed 1080p video sources within a meeting room or stream video between sites at up to 30 fps. Information is secure since no personal device information or content is loaded or saved on a Christie Brio node.

Christie’s commitment to control rooms in Brazil

“South America is a very important region for Christie,” said Dave Muscat, senior director, Control Room Solutions, Americas Region at Christie. “We have recently expanded our Brazilian office by hiring Clayton Brito to help the company drive control room solutions and other business product sales in Brazil.”

“Christie is committed to growing its control room business globally, extending its expertise in this key market, as well as strengthening its relationships with partners. We will continue to introduce new display products, state-of-the-art processing solutions, and expand our service offerings.”

Christie is Front and Center at NAB 2014 with the Authoritative Visual Display Technology Line-Up

NAB/Las Vegas (PRWEB) April 05, 2014

Christie® continues its leadership in the visual display technology market at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas April 5-10. The exhibits open April 7, showcasing two connecting Christie booths featuring the latest 4K solutions including laser projection. The benefits of Christie Q Series, Christie Brio, large format LCD displays, 1-chip DLP® and 3-chip DLP® projectors, and more will be featured.

Laser Projection Summit Kicks off NAB

Don Shaw, Ph.D. and senior director of product management, Entertainment Solutions, Christie, will participate in the ‘Technology Summit’ on Cinema at 5:00 p.m. April 5 as part of the ‘Laser Illuminated Projectors’ panel discussion. The presentation will show how 3D light levels, color fidelity, image uniformity, viewing comfort, and a sense of immersion can be vastly improved using a 6P laser projection system, especially when combined with advanced color separation technology like Dolby 3D®, versus the conventional 3D systems found in cinemas today.

6P Laser Presentation at Christie Innovation Theater

The Christie Innovation Theater will demonstrate a 4K Christie Solaria 6P laser system using the world’s most efficient 3D technology and the industry-preferred image quality that doesn’t require a silver screen. Sure to be a show highlight, the 6P laser presentation provides a glimpse into the future of projection technology. Utilizing six specific primary colors, Christie laser projection technology brings dramatically improved 3D efficiency to projection systems and is ideal for any 3D display system.

The demonstration will use Dolby® 3D glasses specifically engineered to match the six primary laser light wavelengths and viewers will experience 3D Cinema as it was meant to be seen.

4K Solutions, Large Format LCD Display, New HD Christie Q Series and More

The Christie D4K2560 3-chip DLP® projector with the Christie TrueLife™ 4K platform will be showcased. When uncompromising image fidelity, brightness and resolution are needed in cinematic settings, amusement parks, casinos, or 3D visualization systems, the Christie D4K2560 is the clear choice; providing four times the resolution of 2K along with 60Hz.

With up to four simultaneous touches, the Christie FHD651-T provides superior touchscreen performance in a fully integrated package for meeting and classrooms, corporate spaces, museums, education, hospitality and retail, and more.

The Christie FHD551-W outdoor flat panel and the Christie FHD551-XG complete the large format LCD display solutions.

NAB also marks the North American debut of Christie Q Series, including the new Christie DHD951-Q HD that complements the existing, highly successful line. Similar to the rest of Christie Q Series, the HD version introduces 3G-SDI and includes eClarity™ advanced image processing that significantly enhances images by providing greater control over image sharpness, gloss and shading. With its sleek overall style and high-performance features, the Christie DHD951-Q provides superior image processing, versatility and affordability.

Also debuting in North America is the Christie DHD600-G. Part of the upgraded Christie G Series, it is suitable for demanding environments such as signage and museums delivering multi-projector blends onto curved surfaces seamlessly for a perfect image every time.

Christie Brio Share More, Accomplish More

The Christie FHD651-T flat panel seamlessly combines with the Christie Brio multi-site presentation and collaboration solution. Christie Brio featured in separate meeting rooms at the booth allows users to virtually meet, share information and collaborate effortlessly, overcome geographical distances, and eliminate the challenge of single and multi-site workplace meetings.

On the second floor of the Christie booth, the advantages of the 3-chip DLP® Christie Roadster HD20K-J and Christie HD14K-M projectors will be presented. Rugged and ideal for rental staging, both provide significantly higher return on investment and provide superior image quality compared to others in their class.

The benefits of Christie Entero HB 70-inch HD cubes will also featured along with a Christie® Phoenix™. With HD resolution and built on proven LED technology for long life, reliability and low cost of ownership, the front access design of the Entero cubes allows them to be positioned against a wall without compromising space limitations, performance or image quality in 24/7 control room environments.
