Foothill Ranch, Calif., June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To tackle the infant formula crisis, producers can rely on Southern California supplement solutions contract manufacturer ProTab Laboratories to blend custom premixes and produce and package infant formula with a rapid turnaround time.

“ProTab is in the perfect position as a supplement solution manufacturer and packager to prioritize infant formula production with safety and scale to help replenish the supply in the market,” said Joanne Hsu, vice president of operations. “We are ready to produce safe, high-quality premixes with careful processing and top-quality standards at our facility for reassuring parents and babies that they will have access to quality and safe infant formula.”

Safety continues to be at the forefront of the crisis. ProTab has the capabilities of in-house analytical laboratory services for quality control validation, including analytical capabilities. The company is FDA registered with cGMP, FSMA, and FSSC 22000 certified by NSF.

“ProTab can rapidly turn around the production of powder and premix for liquid infant formula at a large scale to bolster the supply of products with proper FDA-inspected nutritional values and safety,” said Hsu. “Our certifications are the gold standard of safety for reassuring our manufacture of food and supplement solutions, including infant formula premix solutions.”

“As a GFSI certified producer and packager of supplement solutions, ProTab elevates food safety to the next level with our state-of-the-art facility, coupled with our quality control procedures and testing,” said Fariba Samadi, director of quality assurance and regulatory affairs. “Following stringent quality assurance and safety processes, we evaluate the quality of raw materials before manufacturing as well as the finished goods.”

Infant formula producers can leverage ProTab’s modern technology for precision blending needed for producing infant formula. Microencapsulation is offered to mask the undesirable characteristics of particular additives and formula ingredients. The technology is part of ProTab’s recent multimillion-dollar expansion to increase the footprint for blending and mixing premix solutions.

ProTab can also help secure the best materials and ingredients if needed; the company keeps up with the newest production and delivery technologies and the latest regulatory requirements and considers modern formulation and consumer trends.

For specific needs in labeling and standards, ProTab Labs can manufacture products to the specification of USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Halal, and Kosher. The company is registered with Health Canada as a foreign manufacturer site.

“We encourage infant formula manufacturers and brand holders to bring their formulas and packaging schematics to work with us,” said Hsu. “We are confident in helping everyone get through the bottleneck together and positioning ProTab as a long-term infant formula production partner,” said Hsu.

ProTab Laboratories is a custom research contract manufacturer operating a state-of-the-art facility in Southern California for providing rapid turnaround services for tablet, capsule, and powder form products, along with high-capacity mixing processes for nutritional and dietary supplements, tableting, microencapsulation, granulation, and milling.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sumo Logic (NASDAQ: SUMO), the SaaS analytics platform to enable reliable and secure cloud-native applications, today announced it has been included for the first time and positioned by Gartner in the Challengers Quadrant of the 2022 Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring and Observability.¹

“We believe that our position as a Challenger is a testament to Sumo Logic’s ability to provide enterprises with cloud-native tools to deliver reliable digital experiences at scale,” said Erez Barak, VP of Product Development for Observability at Sumo Logic. “Full-stack observability starts with simplifying how logs, metrics and traces are collected to give organizations every advantage available to manage modern applications.”

As a cloud-native SaaS analytics platform, Sumo Logic turns machine-generated data, including logs, metrics, and traces, into real-time insights. The platform addresses the complexity of digital transformation, modern applications and cloud migration by helping customers ensure application reliability and manage and optimize multi-cloud infrastructures.

Barak continued, “Our strategy to embrace open source and establish OpenTelemetry as our collection standard, and deliver customers the power to control data costs – anchored by our cloud-native heritage – are just a few examples of what distinguishes us in the industry and cements our place in modern application management and full-stack observability.”

The APM and Observability Challengers quadrant comprises vendors with broad market reach and large deployments. Vendors in this quadrant typically have strong execution capabilities and a significant sales and brand presence garnered from the company as a whole, if not directly from its APM-related activities. Some vendors previously may have been among the top performers in the market and, thus, offer broad product portfolios. Vendors in this quadrant may be transforming their product offerings and market focus. In some cases, their APM offerings are often positioned as elements of a larger solution that may even extend beyond the boundaries of ITOM.

TIS Acquires Cashforce to Revolutionize Global Liquidity Management for Treasury and Finance Teams

HEIDELBERG, Germany, June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS), a global leader in enterprise payment optimization, today announced its acquisition of Cashforce, an AI-powered provider of cash management and forecasting solutions.

This acquisition will see Cashforce’s leading cloud solution – currently deployed at many of the largest and most sophisticated corporate treasuries in the world – become integrated with TIS’ SaaS payments platform. This unified solution will provide enterprises with an unmatched suite of capabilities for cash management, global payments, and fraud mitigation along with superior connectivity, workflows, and reporting functions.

Over the past few years, TIS and Cashforce have collaborated closely to provide a complementary offering for treasury and finance teams. These efforts were met with immediate success in the market as demand for improved cash management and forecasting tools has risen sharply. Now, TIS’ acquisition of Cashforce presents the perfect opportunity to integrate both products together as part of a more complete offering.

For the thousands of enterprise treasury and finance practitioners who currently use TIS, this acquisition provides access to faster and more accurate cash reporting, forecasting, and working capital management. To date, cash positioning and forecasting are still being performed manually by many treasury groups, which represents a major pain point for CFOs and business leaders when attempting to make strategic financial decisions. However, the robust capabilities provided by Cashforce eliminate many of these inefficiencies and ultimately enable companies to gain quick and accurate insights into their financial position based on reliable payments and liquidity data.

According to Erik Masing, Group CEO of TIS, “Cashforce has been a premier partner of TIS for several years and has contributed significantly to the cash forecasting and management capabilities we offer clients. The acquisition is a natural extension of our business and will allow TIS to further integrate Cashforce’s solution with our platform in order to offer advanced forecasting and data management capabilities to all our clients. This means enterprises can significantly reduce complexity in their global payments and cash management tech stacks by leveraging standardization and transparency afforded by a single, elegant solution.”

For Cashforce, the acquisition means that existing clients can now supplement their robust forecasting capabilities with TIS’ industry-leading payments and bank connectivity features. As explained by Nicolas Christiaen, Founder and CEO of Cashforce, “Giving businesses complete visibility over their cash and liquidity data has always been the core objective of Cashforce. While we have spent years perfecting our capabilities in this regard, TIS has been strengthening their suite of payments, bank connectivity, and cash management tools. When combined, these two sets of capabilities form the ideal solution for global treasury and finance teams to achieve full control and visibility over their entire payments and liquidity architecture – including all entities, back-office systems, and banks.”

With the added capabilities of Cashforce’s solution, TIS now offers a single, scalable cloud platform for clients to address needs in the following areas:

• End-to-end payment processing and bank statement management
• Global bank connectivity and financial messaging
• Real-time cash positioning and liquidity management
• Multifaceted cash forecasting, cashflow analytics, and working capital management
• Bank account management and bank documentation management
• Payment compliance and sanctions screening control
• Treasury security, regulatory compliance, and fraud mitigation tools
