ISC Reports Strong First Quarter Growth in 2024, Launches Five-Year Growth Strategy

Information Services Corp

ISC CEO Shawn Peters joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's impressive financial performance in the first quarter of 2024, coinciding with the launch of its ambitious five-year growth plan. The company recorded a revenue of $56.4 million, marking a 15 percent increase compared to the first quarter of 2023. This growth is attributed to fee adjustments within the Saskatchewan Registries division implemented in the third quarter of 2023, as well as consistent customer and transaction growth in the Services’ Regulatory Solutions division and the advancement of project work on both existing and new solutions in the Technology Solutions division. Peters also highlighted that the Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter rose to $19.4 million, up from $14.5 million in the same period last year. This increase was primarily driven by the aforementioned fee adjustments in the Registry Operations’ Saskatchewan Registries division, in line with the Extension Agreement and annual CPI adjustments. Additionally, the Technology Solutions division saw an increase in its Adjusted EBITDA, which grew due to increased revenue from ongoing and new solution definition and implementation contracts. The Adjusted EBITDA margin significantly improved to 34.5 percent, up from 29.5 percent in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting the positive impact of the pricing strategies implemented.

Recall.ai raises $10M to give any developer the ability to build AI meeting bots in days

Recall AI

Conversations are now the world’s largest dataset. Millions of hours of meetings happen everyday over video conferencing platforms, and hundreds of companies try to make sense of these meetings using AI-powered meeting bots that take months to build. Today, the universal API for meeting bots Recall.ai has announced a $10 million funding round to allow engineers to integrate with any meeting platform, including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, and even platforms with no API. This funding round comes hot on the heels of 10x growth over the past 12 months. The Series A funding round was led by Ridge Ventures with participation from Industry Ventures, Y Combinator, IrregEx, Bungalow Capital, Hack VC, and other existing investors. which will be used to scale Recall.ai’s product and team. This fresh investment brings the company’s total amount raised to over $12M, following a $2.7 million seed round in December 2022. It can take over one year for a team of specialist engineers to build the infrastructure and integrations required for even the most basic AI-powered meeting bots. After they’re built, companies face the bigger and more labor-intensive challenge of hosting and maintaining the infrastructure on hundreds of thousands of servers. In comparison, Recall.ai lets a single engineer get up and running with a meeting bot in a few days, even if they don’t have expertise in real-time video processing. This lets companies focus on building their core product while Recall.ai runs, monitors, and scales complex, real-time video infrastructure. "Recall has been a critical partner to us in rolling out Fellow.app's new AI copilot functionality which has been a huge hit with customers,” explained Aydin Mirzaee, CEO of Fellow.app. “We love working with Recall because they are focused on the infrastructure so that we can focus on what we're good at - solving meeting productivity for companies everywhere." Co-founders David Gu and Amanda Zhu launched Recall.ai as two important trends emerged: a worldwide shift to remote work, and advances in AI technology that simplified the processing of unstructured voice and video data. Gu and Zhu previously worked on a real-time transcription tool for video conferences, where the bulk of their engineering team’s effort was spent building and maintaining integrations with conferencing platforms. The duo realized companies building LLM tools to process data from virtual meetings today were running into the same integration and infrastructure hurdles they had already solved, and decided to start Recall.ai to enable the next generation of LLM-powered apps. Over the last 12 months, Recall.ai has grown 10x and today ingests millions of hours of video meeting data for more than 300 companies. Customers are currently using the platform to build powerful tools that leverage conversation intelligence for sales enablement discussions, productivity, customer success, financial advising, telehealth applications, and virtual depositions, among other use cases. Recently, Recall also partnered with Zoom to release an official Meeting Bot Starter Kit that generates a transcript, requests a meeting summary, and provides it to participants in near real-time. “Conversations are the world’s largest dataset,” said David Gu, co-founder at Recall.ai. “Large language models continue to unlock conversations in exciting ways, and the demand for developers to capture this data has never been higher. Every SaaS company in the world should be using conversations as a data source. Recall’s unified API makes it as easy as possible.” “Recall is on its way to becoming the de facto infrastructural layer for all enterprise-level conversational data,” added Akriti Dokania, Partner at Ridge Ventures. “Video and voice data will only become more central to software companies moving forward. Providing infrastructure API access is a hard problem to solve and enterprises don’t want to solve it in-house—Recall’s tremendous growth proves it ten times over. Most importantly, David and Amanda are an ideal founding duo: technically gifted, tenacious, wise beyond their years, and always willing to learn and grow.” With this new funding, the company is primed for the next phase of growth. The same way that AWS provided common infrastructure that every company building a web application would need as they scale, Recall.ai is setting out to provide the common infrastructure for every company who needs to access and apply AI to conversations. About Recall.ai Recall.ai provides a single API for accessing real-time meeting data from platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and more. Real-time meeting integrations require a lot of moving parts, so Recall.ai provides a unified framework that simplifies this process. Recall.ai makes it easy to trigger actions based on who is speaking, when people join or leave a meeting, and more, all with a single API for every platform which helps lower development time and upkeep costs. The API can be used with both audio and video streams, even for meeting platforms that do not have a publicly accessible API. About Ridge Ventures Founded in 2007, Ridge Ventures is a seed and early-stage venture capital firm investing in founders who are redefining how the world interacts with data and code. Ridge takes a fast, flexible, and founder-focused approach, and backs companies delivering advanced technologies, new distribution models, and incredible user experiences.

NAVEX Unveils Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, announces the release of NAVEX Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance. This news comes on the heels of NAVEX’s recent addition of global whistleblowing rules and regulations to the Compliance Program Management solution. Compliance professionals can now navigate corporate governance regulations by mapping their current program to the latest Department of Justice (DOJ) guidelines, pinpointing weaknesses in minutes. A NAVEX survey found that nearly 44% of companies reported at least one regulatory investigation or enforcement action in the past two years. NAVEX Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance helps compliance professionals gain instant insights into gaps and vulnerabilities, ensuring their program meets DOJ expectations and minimizes their risk of legal penalties. “Compliance teams today struggle to identify areas of focus, particularly within DOJ guidance,” says Jazz Mimoun, global ethics program director at onsemi. “NAVEX Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance can be a useful tool to identify those areas and conduct internal analyses and risk assessments that actively improve a compliance program more effectively.” The solution translates DOJ guidance on corporate compliance into straightforward control recommendations backed by input from industry experts and GRC industry leaders. It removes the frustration of keeping pace with evolving regulations and offers a clear roadmap to: Clarify compliance with expert input: Translate open-ended compliance guidelines from the DOJ to clear-cut compliance statements vetted by legal experts. Score statements to quantify program performance and identify gaps and shortfalls. Demonstrate program value: Organize and score all GRC programs in a single web-based platform. Prove program value and effectiveness with digestible dashboards and board-ready reports. Stay audit ready: A single source of truth for collecting, organizing and accessing evidence of compliance activities and program structure, making it easier and more cost-effective to stay audit ready. Reduce unseen compliance risk: A program designed with industry-proven structures is the best defense against unknown or unwanted risks. Design and deploy a GRC program to effectively predict, manage, and mitigate those risks. "Companies are facing a lot of challenges that go beyond regulatory compliance. They're dealing with resource constraints, technology integrations, cross-departmental collaboration and more,” says NAVEX Chief Product Officer, A.G. Lambert. "NAVEX Compliance Program Management: DOJ Guidance will immediately help compliance professionals navigate many of these challenges upfront."
