By Anthony Termini, Benzinga

Brand Engagement Network (BEN) (NASDAQ: BNAI), creator of a conversational AI technology that develops human-like AI and AI Avatars for personalized customer engagement, recently announced the completion of a private placement from an investor group comprised of exiting investors that raised nearly $5 million in new funding.

The deal also lines up more than $3 million in additional commitments from the investor group. According to the chairman of BENs board of directors, Chris Gaertner, the new investment will help the company execute on its growth and revenue strategies.

Gaertner went on to say that this represent[s] a powerful vote of confidence in our strategy from our board, executive team, and our existing investors.

BENs Executive Team Expands With Addition Of Co-CEO

The new investment comes at the same time that BEN announced the promotion of Paul Chang to Co-CEO. Chang had previously held the title of global president at BEN. He brings decades of experience creating new markets for emerging technologies at IBM and multiple start-ups.

Chang led the expansion of various AI, blockchain, analytics and IoT solutions into new global markets and has key industry relationships within the life science, industrial and retail sectors.

I am thrilled to take on the role of Co-CEO, said Chang. He added that as we transition into delivering value to our customers by commercializing our safe and comprehensive Gen AI Platform, BEN is well positioned both financially and technologically to execute our plans.

BENs technology seeks to humanize experiences between people and machines through human-like AI avatars. This is a deliberate philosophy of its management. Its board includes former military officers and a former chairperson of the Federal Trade Commission.

Why Should Investors Care About Conversational AI?

Conversational AI has the ability to recognize, translate, predict, and respond to a given customers written or spoken input. Personalized customer engagement improves a companys efficiency and productivity.

More importantly, when the customer service experience makes people feel connected to a company they do business with, it improves customer loyalty, brand perception and overall satisfaction.

According to Co-CEO Michael Zacharski, Now is a pivotal time for the AI industry. Markets and Markets has also reported that the conversational AI sector is expected to grow to nearly $50 billion by 2030.

Zacharski says that the company is excited about the prospect of partnering with organizations that complement its vision and capabilities. Their technology is targeted at consumer products and services companies, automotive dealers and manufacturers, financial institutions, healthcare providers and retailers.

While BEN is not the only provider of conversational AI solutions, it is unique in its approach. Personalizing human-machine interaction with the use of friendly AI assistants that can mimic human gestures could be significantly disruptive in a segment of AI that is experiencing rapid adoption. And today, BEN is a leader in creating more empathetic AI experiences.

Downgrading Sage 50 Quantum a strategic decision for businesses looking to cut costs or simplify accounting operations

Published

on

Brandon, MB, 8th March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Sage 50 Quantum is a robust accounting software designed for medium to large-sized businesses, offering advanced features like customizable reporting, advanced inventory management, and multi-user access. However, there may be times when a business decides to downgrade to a lower-tier version of Sage 50 due to budget constraints, business needs, or software complexity.

Sage 50 Quantum comes with a higher price tag due to its advanced features and capabilities. Small businesses or businesses with fewer users might find it more cost-effective to downgrade to a version like Sage 50 Premium or Sage 50 Pro. As businesses grow, their accounting needs may change. Some companies may no longer require the extensive features of Sage 50 Quantum, making a downgrade to a simpler version more appropriate for their current needs.

With a simpler version, businesses can reduce unnecessary complexity and streamline operations, making it easier for smaller teams to manage accounting tasks.

Evaluate Business Needs: Before proceeding with a downgrade, assess whether the features offered in a lower-tier version meet your business’s needs. Ensure that you won’t lose important functionalities like multi-user support or advanced reporting.

It’s crucial to back up all your data before initiating a downgrade. This ensures that you won’t lose any critical financial information in the process. Select the version that best suits your needs. Sage 50 Premium offers a balance of advanced features and user access, while Sage 50 Pro may be more suitable for smaller businesses with simpler accounting needs.

When downgrading, some advanced features and customizations might not be compatible with the lower-tier version. It’s important to carefully transfer your data, adjusting for any limitations that come with the downgrade.

Once the downgrade is complete, thoroughly test the software to ensure everything is functioning properly. Check reports, transactions, and integrations to ensure the new version meets your expectations.

A Sage 50 Quantum downgrade can be a strategic decision for businesses looking to cut costs or simplify their accounting operations. However, it’s important to carefully evaluate your needs, back up your data, and choose the appropriate version to ensure a smooth transition. By understanding the limitations and benefits of the downgrade process, businesses can continue to manage their finances effectively without sacrificing essential features.

Transitioning from Sage 50 US to QuickBooks: A Guide

Published

on

Brandon, MB, 8th March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, For businesses looking to switch accounting software, migrating from Sage 50 US to QuickBooks is a popular choice. Both are powerful accounting tools, but QuickBooks offers a more user-friendly interface, enhanced customer support, and a wide range of features suitable for growing businesses. 

QuickBooks is known for its intuitive design and ease of use. For small and medium-sized businesses, it offers a more straightforward setup and operation compared to Sage 50, which can be more complex.

QuickBooks offers both desktop and cloud-based versions. The cloud version allows for real-time data access, automatic backups, and seamless collaboration between teams, which can be a huge advantage over Sage 50’s more traditional, desktop-only setup.

QuickBooks provides advanced reporting tools that are easy to use, enabling businesses to gain better insights into their financial performance. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that need accurate and real-time data for decision-making.

As your needs evolve, you can upgrade to more advanced versions to handle increasing complexities.

Before making the transition, assess the data you need to transfer. This includes accounts, customers, vendors, transactions, and other financial details. Ensure that your Sage 50 data is clean and up to date to minimize complications during migration. QuickBooks offers several versions—QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and QuickBooks Enterprise. Choose the version that best fits your business size and needs.

QuickBooks provides a Sage 50 to QuickBooks conversion tool to help with the transfer process. These tools can simplify the migration by automating the import of accounts, customers, and financial data from Sage 50 to QuickBooks.

After the migration, carefully check your data to ensure it has been imported correctly. Reconcile accounts to make sure balances match between Sage 50 and QuickBooks. QuickBooks has a different interface and workflows compared to Sage 50. Make sure your team is trained on the new system to ensure a smooth transition and continued productivity.

Migrating from Sage 50 US to QuickBooks can streamline your accounting processes and offer more flexibility as your business grows. By evaluating your needs, selecting the right version of QuickBooks, and utilizing migration tools, you can make the transition more efficient and less stressful. With the right planning, the switch can enhance your business’s financial management, improving both operational efficiency and decision-making.

New York’s Unleashed Spa Shares Expertise in New Article on How Grooming Affects Your Pet’s Mood

Published

on

New York, US, 8th March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Unleashed Spa, a premier pet grooming salon in New York City’s East Village, has been featured in a new article highlighting the powerful connection between grooming and a pet’s mood. The article, How Grooming Affects Your Pet’s Mood, explores how regular grooming can reduce stress, boost confidence, and enhance the overall well-being of pets.

“At Unleashed Spa, we’ve seen firsthand how grooming can transform a pet’s mood,” said Kim Gallagher, founder of Unleashed Spa. “A clean, well-groomed pet is not only healthier but also happier and more confident. We’re thrilled to share our expertise on why grooming is so much more than just keeping pets looking good—it’s about their emotional well-being too.”

The Emotional Benefits of Grooming

The article outlines the numerous ways grooming impacts a pet’s emotional state, including:

  • Reducing Stress and Anxiety: Gentle brushing, bathing, and nail trimming help pets feel more relaxed and comfortable.

  • Boosting Confidence: Well-groomed pets are more social, playful, and engaged with their surroundings.

  • Strengthening the Human-Pet Bond: Grooming sessions create a positive experience that fosters trust between pets and their owners.

Unleashed Spa’s Approach to Stress-Free Grooming

Unleashed Spa has built a reputation for providing expert grooming services tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Their experienced team focuses on creating a calm, pet-friendly environment where grooming is a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

“Many pets come to us nervous about grooming, especially if they’ve had bad experiences elsewhere,” Gallagher explained. “We take the time to build trust, use gentle handling techniques, and ensure that each pet feels safe and comfortable throughout the process.”

Why Professional Grooming Matters

While regular at-home grooming is essential, professional grooming services offer additional benefits, including:

  • Expert handling for anxious pets

  • Deep cleaning and coat care to maintain skin health

  • Customized grooming styles for comfort and convenience

By combining professional care with at-home maintenance, pet owners can ensure their furry companions stay both physically and emotionally well.
