CAMPUS FARMERS MARKET WILL BRING LOCAL PRODUCTS TO UW-MADISON CAMPUS

Wisconsin Union’s weekly farmers market to bring local vendors to Union South

MADISON – The Wisconsin Union team will host the Campus Farmers Market Thursdays, which will feature local and organic products, Sept. 5 until Oct. 24 at Union South from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Area vendors will sell their products during the market outside Union South at the corner of North Orchard Street and West Johnson Street. Featured vendors include Bloom Bake Shop, Chrysalis Pops, Munchkey Apples, Parrfection Produce, Porchlight Products and Savory Accents.

“It’s an honor and pleasure to support local businesses and increase food accessibility in the downtown Madison area,” said Wisconsin Union Associate Director of Dining and Hospitality Carl Korz.

The market will also feature Farm to Table bags that include fresh produce and a recipe tailored to the bag’s produce. Market customers will have the chance to sample the featured recipe at each week’s market.

Plus, at the first market, the Union team will give away Campus Farmers Market canvas bags while supplies last. In addition, on Sept. 5 and 12, team members will provide loyalty cards with which customers can receive $8 off their Farm to Table Bag purchases. If customers with loyalty cards purchase a Farm to Table Bag at every market this fall, they will receive their final bag free.

The Campus Farmers Market will include live music by singer-songwriter Frankie Pobar Lay. Available various dates throughout the summer will be button-making with Wheelhouse Studios, dogs from Dogs On Call, and new menu item samples from Union South restaurants.

Infosec unveils expanded channel program to address security & IT professional skills and certification training

MADISON, Wis., April 24, 2019 — Infosec today announced major enhancements to its popular Infosec Channel Partner Program for managed services providers (MSPs), managed security service providers (MSSPs), value-added resellers (VARs) and OEMs. In addition to security awareness and training solution Infosec IQ, the program now includes both Infosec Skills and Infosec Flex to create the only channel program in the industry to provide across-the-board, full-spectrum training needs for the clients of channel partners.

“Organizations face two primary security training issues today; their employees are not trained properly about cybersecurity and their security and IT staff are undertrained,” said Mike Nobers, director of global channel sales at Infosec. This is due to ever-changing security techniques and employees being recruited away to other companies because of the qualified security pro shortage.

“Infosec partners can now speak to this bigger issue across their client’s organization with Infosec IQ for employee security awareness training, plus Infosec Skills and Infosec Flex to address retaining and growing their security and IT teams,” Nobers added.

With Infosec IQ in their portfolios, channel partners can help clients build a cyber-alert workforce equipped to recognize, avoid and report suspicious activity, such as phishing. The Infosec Skills and Infosec Flex platforms are designed to ensure the client’s IT and security team’s skills are scaled to outsmart the latest threats and build defenses to counter tomorrow’s threats.

Free to join and easy to implement, the Infosec Channel Partner Program offers:

• Unique to the industry — the most complete, one-stop shopping security awareness training program with access to Infosec IQ, Infosec Skills and Infosec Flex
• Technical sales training to help clients build effective security awareness programs
• Automation tools that make it easy to build security awareness training programs to deliver the right content to the right learner at the right time
• Delegated administration that allows management of multiple clients’ security awareness programs from one platform
• Automatic report generation that makes it easy to track and share training performance
• Customizable learning experiences via more than 300 modules, including critical training in phishing, suspicious hosts, ransomware and password security

Launched in October 2018, the Infosec Channel Partner Program provides generous margins for channel partners. All partners receive dedicated channel sales support, marketing resources and training to be successful.

ImageMoverMD Presenting Its Suite of Solutions at RSNA Annual Meeting

The only technology that transforms image management for all types of medical images

MADISON, Wis. (Nov. 15, 2017) — ImageMoverMD, a convenient way to securely move and access medical images and photos, will present its latest capability, ImageMover Modality, twice during the RSNA Annual Meeting. Each presentation will highlight Modality, in addition to showing how the complete platform complements healthcare systems’ enterprise imaging strategy.

ImageMover Modality captures and archives point-of-care images from medical devices such as mobile ultrasound units, fluoroscopy and endoscopy devices. This capability further ensures that any image taken—whether it was from a scheduled appointment or not—is recorded and accurately linked to the patient EHR. Too often, these studies don’t make it to the EHR or VNA/PACS, resulting in clinical gaps and lost revenue. ImageMoverMD’s EHR integration enables on-the-fly order creation, ensuring that images are linked to the patient record in a fraction of the time.

“ImageMover Modality is a great addition to the ImageMover platform, further enhancing the way healthcare systems manage its medical imaging,” said Darcey Nett, president of ImageMoverMD. “With a range of available solutions on one platform, users can optimize their current processes depending on their immediate needs.”

As a whole, the platform’s principles allow for a deep integration into EHR workflows to enhance value. It also allows healthcare enterprises to derive additional benefits from existing systems. ImageMoverMD’s additional solutions include:

• ImageMover Mobile: Allows seamless workflow integration to bring patient photos from mobile devices directly into an organization’s medical imaging archive and medical record. It’s fast, simple and HIPAA compliant.
• ImageMover DICOM: Allows importing of outside DICOM medical imaging directly into your organizations medical imaging archive. This solution provides smart automation, matching the imported images directly to the correct patient.
• ImageMover Media: Provides advanced media importing features, allowing MPEG video, GIF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF media objects to be imported into the medical imaging archive and linked to the patient encounter.

ImageMoverMD will be presenting Monday, November 27 and Wednesday November 29 at 2:00 in the IBM theater.
