ISG event audiences vote for startups
demonstrating adaptability and flexibility in application
development and facilities management
Cloud-based workplace solutions that enable users to develop
applications independent of a server and install mobile-based
building access control systems were voted the winners of ISG
Startup Challenges at recent events hosted by Information Services
Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and
advisory firm.
Three entrepreneurs pitched the value of their technology
solutions in the ISG Startup Challenge during the ISG TechXchange:
Banking, Financial Service & Insurance virtual event, May
18–19. Audience members selected Lyrid, a multi-cloud serverless
computing ecosystem that allows users to code, deploy and manage
native web applications without platform dependency or
infrastructure maintenance, over AuthVia, a message-based payment
platform, and the UltimateSuite task mining tool.
“Lyrid’s execution model automatically scales with demand while
reducing server cost, increasing development speed and securely
deploying and distributing any web application,” said Owen
Wheatley, lead partner, banking and financial services, ISG, and
co-host of the ISG TechXchange: BFSI. “As banking and financial
services firms focus on operational resiliency, financial
performance and fierce competition for customer loyalty, solutions
like Lyrid’s are critical in enabling enterprises to build, deploy
and render code anywhere to deliver exceptional digital
experiences.”
OpenPath’s access control system was voted the ISG Startup
Challenge winner at the ISG Future Workplace Summit, March 10–11,
in a competition with talent-mapping software Anthill and the
search engine Noonean. The OpenPath scalable software for workplace
security and cloud-based access control enhances safety and the
open API framework allows for seamless integration with everyday
systems, from directory services and vendor management system
providers, to building automation tools and other legacy access
control systems.
“It is critical the next edition of the workplace is safe for
all employees, while being flexible with locations, schedules,
roles and technologies to maximize productivity,” said Dee Anthony,
director, future workplace, ISG, and host of the fourth annual ISG
Future Workplace Summit. “OpenPath’s product adaptations—such as
touchless entry capabilities, occupancy management features and
integration with thermal screening systems—accommodate new COVID-19
restrictions as people return to the physical office space. These
are essential to workplace health and safety, and a key
differentiator for employees.”
