Hermes International Expo to Celebrate 25th Anniversary in Delaware County

Hermes Expo continues to bridge regional businesses in the U.S., Greece and Balkans

March 27, 2016 (Philadelphia, PA) – Celebrating its 25th year, Hermes Expo International, the premier business networking trade show & exhibition conference, will resume its annual expo in Philadelphia on Tuesday, April 5, 2016 at Best Western Plus Concordville Hotel. 

Remaining true to its mission to create networking opportunities for business professionals, the expo will feature unique platforms for companies to showcase their products and services and connect with potential customers from the United States and Europe.

“For the past quarter century, the Expo’s purpose and reason for being has been to connect people and businesses,” said president of Hermes Expo, Paul Kotrotsios.  “That is why we take care to create an atmosphere and environment that makes it easy to network, explore partnerships and discover new opportunities.”

For the past 25 years, Hermes Expo has been hosting events in New York, Chicago, Atlantic City and Philadelphia. The expo started out serving the Greek-American community but has grown well beyond that attracting various ethnicities and businesses with an invaluable networking platform that bridges the gap between Greece and America through an open market and exchange atmosphere fostering the flow of creative ideas, bargaining, marketing, selling and buying.

“Helping others form business alliances and partnerships in today’s unpredictable and uncertain economic environment is of paramount necessity.  Over the years, we are pleased to be able to point to many examples where, through The Hermes Expo, long-lasting and profitable business relationships began,” said Kotrotsios.

This year, Hermes Expo plans to expand upon the number of vendors displaying and showcasing products and services to including a wide variety of industries such as, food service, distributors, manufacturers, travel & tourism, telecommunications, banking and finance, construction, government and municipalities, non-profits, new technology and more. Additionally, attendees may anticipate the continuation of the Theodoros Spyropoulos seminar series, which began last year, and provides an opportunity to hear from leading business and political leaders on issues important to the Greek community.

Hermes Expo 25th Anniversary

Hermes Expo attendees can expect to establish new leads, display their products and services, launch or promote new concepts, advertise their business and brand, learn about trends affecting their business, attend professional development seminars, discover technologies, products and services to help grow their business, network and share unique experiences with other business professionals.

“As we pass this milestone and look ahead, we continue to look for ways to enable, facilitate and explore new ways and possibilities to promote Greek products and services in the United States,” said Kotrotsios.

This year’s full day schedule will include TGS educational seminars, exposition, luncheon, business and young professional’s conference, reception and awards dinner gala. For more information and to register for the event, visit the Hermes Expo International website.

Ambient Clinical Analytics announces a collaboration with Philips on new clinical analytics solution to enhance staff efficiency in critical care

ROCHESTER, MN Ambient Clinical Analytics today at HIMSS 2016 announced a collaboration with Philips on their launch of IntelliSpace Console Critical Care, a cloud-based clinical decision support dashboard. IntelliSpace Console is a novel user interface designed to improve critical care, standardize clinical decision making, enhance patient monitoring and better implement quality metrics that is based on Mayo Clinic bedside analytics technology – AWARE 

(Ambient Warning and Response Evaluation) that is licensed and commercialized by Ambient Clinical. The easy-to-read dashboard gives clinicians access to patient data across multiple systems and EMRs to help streamline, prioritize and analyze data quickly.

In critical care settings where every second counts, clinicians need to make timely care decisions and navigating the vast amounts of clinical data available at the patient bedside can make it difficult for clinicians to analyze so much information at once. IntelliSpace Console aims to address this issue comprehensively and transform patient data from multiple sources into actionable insights. The dashboard provides intensivists, nurses, respiratory therapists and other specialists with the clinical information needed to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently in critical care settings, leading to greater productivity, and enhancing the accessibility of traditional EMR data.

“The amount of patient data available in the Intensive Care Units is incredible, but it also places a substantial burden on the acting clinician to make quick and effective patient care decisions while making sense of mountains of information,” said Vitaly Herasevich, MD, PhD, of Mayo Clinic, one of the co-inventors of the technology. “This new solution is formatted as a real-time dashboard that organizes information the way a clinician processes data in a real-life patient scenario to facilitate decision making. This reduces stress, saves time, supports workflow and enhances the care process while allowing multiple members of a patient’s care team to be ‘on the same page’.”

Adding Value to the Care Process

The transition to value-based care is driving an increasing number of business and Health IT challenges – including EMR implementation, interoperability, meaningful use, accountable care and healthcare reform. At this year’s HIMSS event in Las Vegas, Philips will be demonstrating how integrated software and health IT solutions like IntelliSpace Console can address these challenges by collecting, combining and delivering quality data that help improve patient outcomes, reduce costs and improve quality of care.

IntelliSpace Console’s user interface, which is rendered using evidence-based guidelines, provides clinicians with an overview of the entire patient population, including acuity level, details on life support, and other key information to help clinicians make more informed decisions when developing patient care plans. The dashboard harmonizes the information on each patient to ensure that each clinician sees the same information.

A Cloud-Based Dashboard

IntelliSpace Console will be hosted on Philips HealthSuite digital platform (HSDP), an open, secure cloud-based platform that powers solutions that can collect, compile, store and analyze clinical and other data from multiple devices and sources. The HSDP supports the secure collection of all types of data related to health and lifestyle so consumers, patients and caregivers can make more confident health and lifestyle-related decisions with the next generation of connected health and wellness innovation, such as IntelliSpace Console.

Mayo Clinic developed IntelliSpace Console under the product name AWARE¹ (Ambient Warning and Response Evaluation) and Philips is partnering with Ambient Clinical Analytics to bring the technology to market in the second half of 2016. Together, with the United States Critical Illness and Injury Trials Group, these organizations received a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) award from CMS to research the impact of using a cloud-based clinical decision support solution with a novel user interface for the ICU.

Mayo Clinic and Dr. Herasevich have a financial interest in the technology referenced in this news release. Revenue Mayo Clinic receives is used to support its not-for-profit mission in patient care, education and research.

IntelliSpace Console is expected to be available to a limited number of hospitals later this year. Philips will be showcasing IntelliSpace Console Critical Care technology at booth #3416 at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2016 Annual Meeting and Exhibition, taking place Feb. 29 – March 4, at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, NV. Ambient Clinical Analytics will be demonstrating the AWARE technology in booth #6557 at HIMSS.

Our business model is supported by software license fees, SaaS, Cloud and system integration revenue.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Ferrari Forbes, American hip hop artist, is pleased to announce his first long play venture and self-titled album due on June 3.

His first line, apply named Spring 2016, is already available for preview on the website.

“This is a new business venture as an extension of who I am as an artist and model. I am also a man of taste and talents outside of music. Trilioni is merely this extension of who I am,” said Forbes.

A full clothing line is expected for Fall 2016. Meanwhile, Forbes is spending most of his time concentrating on finishing his album for his fans.

St. Louis based RSM Federal Announces Strategic Partnership with GovPurchase

St. Louis, Mo. - RSM Federal, a nationally recognized coaching and advisory firm for government contractors, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with GovPurchase; a subsidiary of National Bid Network (NBN). This new partnership integrates the GovPurchase market intelligence platform with Federal Access, RSM Federal’s advanced education and training platform for government contractors. The two platforms have been integrated as a joint solution.

“This partnership combines the power of being able to quickly and easily identify and bid on government opportunities - combined with proven techniques, strategies, and expert advice on how to win those opportunities. There are no contract management systems on the market today that provide step-by-step instruction, and the processes, techniques and strategies required to rapidly accelerate a company’s federal revenue stream. This is the first end-to-end solution that provides 100% of what companies need to successfully navigate the market and win more contracts.” - Stated Joshua Frank, Founder & Managing Partner of RSM Federal.

GovPurchase pulls, sorts, and organizes data from over one million government contracts per year from more than six thousand state, local, and federal government database sources; making it the most comprehensive and cost effective market intelligence platform on the market today. In addition to government contracts, the GovPurchase platform also contains vital company information on over 900,000 contractors that focus on the federal market.

“Our clients use GovPurchase to find out which agencies and organizations buy what they sell, how much, and how often. Our expiring contracts feature also allows our users to find and engage opportunities before they are officially released to the public. These capabilities create an advantage for GovPurchase users that has allowed them to win over 15 billion in government contracts in 2015. With the addition of the Federal Access platform, our clients have the most comprehensive and proven total solution on the market.” – Stated Kim Harwell, a National Procurement Manager at GovPurchase.

The Federal Access platform coaches its users on proven techniques, strategies, and processes they need in order to win more opportunities that they find through GovPurchase. The Federal Access platform comes with a complete digital and proposal library with over a hundred critical documents, templates, and real world examples as well as an on-demand video training library, monthly webinar training sessions, and access to government contracting subject matter experts.

“By themselves, GovPurchase and Federal Access are industry leading solutions for their users. However, the combined solution of both services is literally a dream come true for many government contractors. There is no other partnership or joint solution that matches the level of data and intelligence along with the precise action steps of what to do with that information on the market. This solution will allow thousands of existing government contractors to win more contracts and it will enable new companies to enter this market and win contracts in 6 to 12 months versus the average company that takes 3 to 5 years to win their first contract. This is truly a game changer for government contractors.” - Stated Michael LeJeune, Partner & Federal Access Program Manager.
