RANKIN, Texas, April 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rankin County Hospital District (RCHD) has implemented an integrated electronic health record (EHR) with Cerner, a global leader in health care technology, to support improved patient and clinician experiences. The Cerner Millennium^®EHR provides the hospital with sophisticated health care technology that will support RCHD doctors, nurses and staff as they work to streamline operations and improve patient care.“With total buy-in from physicians and staff combined with strong support from administration and our board of directors, we are beyond excited to begin using Cerner’s technology to further our mission,” said Jim Horton, CEO, RCHD. “RCHD’s strong and productive relationship with Cerner staff resulted in an incredibly smooth go-live that will lead to our patients and community seeing the benefits that sophisticated health care solutions can have on individual well-being and community health.”

“One place we noticed an immediate impact was in our daily revenue cycle meetings,” said Horton. “We are now able to reconcile the previous day’s revenue very accurately and our meetings are getting shorter and shorter, freeing us up to handle other parts of our operations.”

RCHD’s new EHR is deployed through the Cerner CommunityWorks℠ model that leverages cloud technology to deliver the power of Cerner Millennium, tailored to support the unique needs of community, critical access and specialty hospitals. CommunityWorks will support RCHD’s 15-bed critical access hospital as it provides comprehensive care to the Rankin community through its emergency services, family practice medical clinic, outpatient lab, acute care and more.

“With an integrated EHR now in use by RCHD clinicians, they will be able to promote the health and wellness of the Rankin community in new and exciting ways,” said Mitchell Clark, president, CommunityWorks, senior vice president, Cerner. “RCHD has seen some great early successes since their implementation and we cannot wait to see how they will use the unified system to improve the health of the people they serve.”

RCHD staff will now be able to view a digital record of their patients’ health history, including clinical and financial data. Doctors and nurses will have a more complete, near real-time view of an individual’s heath to support improved health outcomes for the community. Cerner Millennium will also support improved patient engagement. Through the new online patient portal, people will be able to securely message doctors, schedule appointments, view and settle balances and access their health history.

“The implementation of an integrated EHR is an excellent first step in RCHD’s journey to improve care and streamline the patient experience,” said Zane Burke, president, Cerner. “RCHD has the tools to continue to provide high-quality services and support to patients and the entire community, as well as encourage people to take an active role in their health.”

DALLAS, April 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:TBK) (the “Company”) announced today that it has signed definitive agreements to acquire First Bancorp of Durango, Inc. and Southern Colorado Corp. The company also announced the entry into an asset purchase agreement by Advance Business Capital d/b/a Triumph Business Capital (“Triumph Business Capital”) to acquire the transportation factoring assets of Interstate Capital Corporation (“Interstate Capital”).“Collectively, these acquisitions reflect our business strategy of pairing unique commercial finance asset generation with core deposit funding and are expected to generate strong financial results for the Company’s stakeholders,” said Aaron P. Graft, vice chairman and chief executive officer of Triumph Bancorp.

First Bancorp of Durango and Southern Colorado Corp Acquisitions

First Bancorp of Durango is a bank holding company with $646 million in total assets as of December 31, 2017. Its wholly-owned community banking subsidiary, The First National Bank of Durango, serves consumers and businesses from four branches in Durango, Colorado and one branch in Bayfield, Colorado. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of New Mexico, serves consumers and businesses from three branches in Albuquerque, Gallup and Grants, New Mexico.

Southern Colorado Corp. is a bank holding company with $88 million in total assets as of December 31, 2017. Its wholly-owned community banking subsidiary, Citizens Bank of Pagosa Springs, serves consumers and businesses from its two branches in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. 

“We are really excited about the acquisitions of The First National Bank of Durango, Bank of New Mexico and Citizens Bank of Pagosa Springs,” said Graft. “As a result of these transactions, TBK Bank’s presence will be among the largest in the state of Colorado. The Bank of New Mexico acquisition also extends our market reach into New Mexico, which we hope to grow in the future. In all of our new markets, we are committed to serving our new customers with the excellence and personalized service to which they are accustomed.”

“We are pleased to have in TBK a partner as committed to community banking as we are,” said Mark Daigle, president and chief executive officer of The First National Bank of Durango. “It is evident that TBK Bank strongly supports the communities in which they operate. It is also evident that TBK Bank places a high value on all of its customer relationships and team members.”

“We believe partnering with TBK Bank will increase our ability to provide value and resources to the people, businesses and communities we serve,” said Clemente Sanchez, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Bank of New Mexico.

“As a part of TBK Bank, we will offer a wider range of products and services,” said James L. Smith, president and chief executive officer of Citizens Bank of Pagosa Springs. “TBK Bank has expressed a commitment to continue community lending in Pagosa Springs.”

Following the close of the transactions, The First National Bank of Durango, Bank of New Mexico and Citizens Bank of Pagosa Springs will be merged into the Company’s subsidiary bank, TBK Bank, SSB, with the resulting institution operating under the TBK Bank brand name.

These transactions have been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of Triumph Bancorp, First Bancorp of Durango and Southern Colorado Corp., and are subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals. The transactions are expected to close during the third quarter of 2018. 

Triumph Bancorp was advised in this transaction by Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz as legal counsel and Stephens Inc. and Evercore as financial advisors.  Sullivan & Cromwell LLP acted as legal counsel and Hovde Group, LLC acted as financial adviser to First Bancorp of Durango and Southern Colorado Corp. 

Interstate Capital Acquisition

Interstate Capital is one of North America’s leading invoice factoring companies with offices located in El Paso, Texas and Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Since 1993, Interstate Capital has focused on helping small and medium-sized businesses succeed and grow.

“Adding Interstate Capital’s team members, processes and business network to Triumph Business Capital creates one of, if not the, strongest transportation factoring platform in the United States,” said Graft. “We are proud to be associated with trucking, and this transaction specifically furthers our role in meeting the working capital needs of the small business owners who keep America moving forward.”

“The entire ICC team is very excited about becoming a part of the Triumph organization,” said Cliff Eisenberg, the chief executive officer of Interstate Capital Corporation. “This transaction will allow us to better meet the challenges of the future and take advantage of the many opportunities for servicing the financial needs of small and medium sized businesses. The combining of the resources of the two companies makes for a stronger enterprise – we are definitely stronger together. This is certainly a case where the whole has greater value than the pieces individually.”

Tony Furman, the president of Interstate Capital Corporation added, “Working alongside Cliff Eisenberg and Louis Cohen, our vice president, for 25 years has been the highlight of my career and a personal pleasure.  Now, I look forward with eager anticipation, to the joining of our respective teams, and two storied companies, that are uniquely compatible.”

Upon close of the transaction, Interstate Capital will operate as Interstate Capital, a Triumph company. The staff of Interstate Capital will become employees of Triumph Business Capital immediately following the close of the acquisition.

This transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of Triumph Bancorp and Interstate Capital, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including required regulatory notices. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018.

BENTONVILLE, AR, April 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Arkansas Governor's School at Hendrix College accepts only 400 students each summer and this year two of them will come from Northwest Arkansas Classical Academy, a ResponsiveEd school.  Juniors Grant Reader and Ashley Massey earned spots in the prestigious six-week residential program in the concentrations of math and visual arts respectively. The program runs June 10 - July 21.

To be considered, applicants must demonstrate creativity in academic or creative fields, possess above average ability in a particular discipline area, display a high degree of self-motivation and meet or exceed the intellectual, social, and emotional maturity required to thrive in an environment that emphasizes theoretical and process-related learning.

“We are so proud that Grant and Ashley will be representing our school and have the opportunity to showcase their individual talents,” says Northwest Arkansas Classical Academy Headmaster Susan Provenza.  “On average, only one kid per school gets in (if any), so given our small size, it's pretty amazing that we have two students accepted!”

The Arkansas Governor’s School began in 1980 as a program for gifted and talented students who are upcoming high school seniors and residents of the state of Arkansas. The program, funded by the Arkansas State Legislature, challenges students to develop the rigorous creative and intellectual skills that will be critical to their leading the ideal "life well lived" and for making positive contributions to their communities and to society at large.

Blockbuster "Newsboys United Tour" Adds Summer Leg

The popular tour will extend its history-making run with nearly 20 more dates across the country.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) April 10, 2018

Playing to capacity audiences across the U.S. this spring, the “Newsboys United Tour” will extend its history-making run through the summer, it was announced today. A slate of nearly 20 new shows kicks off in June, once again bringing current Newsboys members Michael Tait, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Jody Davis together with former bandmates Peter Furler and Phil Joel for "all the hits... under one roof... for one tour."

Showcasing an electrifying headlining set from the supergroup, Newsboys United will share some of the most popular hits from the iconic band’s three-decade career with audiences in Birmingham, Alabama; Texarkana, Texas; Enid, Oklahoma; Savannah, Georgia; and Rochester, Minnesota, among other cities this summer, before concluding August 5 in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Sponsored by ChildFund and produced by Premier Productions in partnership with the Newsboys, the summer leg of the “Newsboys United Tour” will feature special guest Word recording artist Zealand—which is founded and fronted by Phil Joel—as well as a special appearance by singer/songwriter Adam Agee.

“Every night I love sharing the stage with my bandmates, past and present,” said Michael Tait. “This is one of the most meaningful tours I’ve ever been part of, and I’m thrilled we can continue the fun this summer.”

"The crowd attendance and response on this 'Newsboys United Tour' has been simply overwhelming,” said Peter Furler. “The lads and I are truly excited about extending the tour through the summer."

“We knew the Newsboys would be a hit in Cheyenne—we just didn’t anticipate it selling out so quickly,” said the Cheyenne Civic Center’s Reese Ruiz, marketing coordinator for the City of Cheyenne (Wyoming) Community Recreation and Events Department. “The fans loved the show (Hello drums!) and the experience was one we’d bring back in a heartbeat. Our only change would be to book them for two nights upfront instead of one!”

Newsboys are among the contenders for three K-LOVE Fan Award nominations this year: Group or Duo of the Year, as well as Song of the Year and Worship Song of the Year for "The Cross Has The Final Word" (feat. Peter Furler). The 2018 K-LOVE Fan Awards will be held May 27 at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, and nominee voting is now open at klovefanawards.com.

One of the most influential bands in Christian music history, Newsboys have sold more than 8 million units and amassed eight Gold® certifications, 33 #1 radio hits, four GRAMMY® nominations, two American Music Award nominations and multiple Dove Awards. Comprised of Michael Tait (lead vocals), Jody Davis (guitar), Jeff Frankenstein (keys) and Duncan Phillips (drums), Newsboys’ signature songs include “We Believe,” “He Reigns,” “Miracles” “Born Again” and their Platinum®-certified mega hit, “God’s Not Dead.” The latter inspired one of the most popular Christian film franchises of all time, PureFlix’s "God’s Not Dead" and "God’s Not Dead 2," both of which included appearances by the band. "God's Not Dead - A Light In Darkness" is now in theaters across the country.

Pollstar Magazine ranks Premier Productions as the largest producer of live Christian events both nationally and internationally. Over 18 million people have attended a Premier event in over 4,000 concerts worldwide. Premier promotes Tours for Hillsong UNITED, Hillsong Worship, Young & Free, Kari Jobe, Jesus Culture, Lecrae, Lauren Daigle, Gaither Homecoming, Sadie Robertson, Newsboys, comedian John Crist, Rend Collective, as well as their annual Winter Jam Tour Spectacular and OUTCRY Tours. Premier Festivals promote 10 of the largest Christian festivals in the U.S, and over 80,000 guests have sailed on cruises and gone on excursions through their vacation experience company, Premier Experience.

KEMP, Texas, April 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics LLC, Industrial lighting expert, has released a new 25-watt explosion proof rechargeable blue LED forklift warning light that runs on a rechargeable lithium ion battery. This unit produces 2,250 lumens of intense blue light to indicate the pathway of the forklift, warning pedestrians of ongoing operation. This forklift warning light is ideal for hazardous locations such as warehouses and delivery bays.The EXHL-TRN-RPS-LE4-FKWL-BLU-M from Larson Electronics is a 25-watt Rechargeable Explosion Proof LED Forklift Warning Light which produces 2,250 lumens of intense blue light as a real-time notification to nearby pedestrians and works of ongoing forklift operation. Standard forklift warning systems have strobe lights that can hinder operator visibility and/or audible alarms which can irritate workers and pedestrians who must listen to the constant beeping. The EXHL-TRN-RPS-LE4-FKWL-BLU-M addresses both issues. The five, 5-watt LEDs in this unit are combined with high purity optics to produce a narrow 5º spot beam, visible during the day and night. This explosion proof LED light operates on a rechargeable 8.8aH lithium ion battery with 8 hours of runtime and is Division 1 and 2 rated in Classes I, II and III.

The EXHL-TRN-RPS-LE4-FKWL-BLU-M housing is constructed of extruded aluminum and NEMA Type 3, 4, 4X, 7 (B,C,D) and 9 (E,F,G) rated, waterproof to 3 meters, and resistant to the buildup of dust, dirt and humidity. An unbreakable polycarbonate lens covers the blue LED light. This unit can operate in temperatures of -40° C to 60° C and is inherently resistant to shock and vibration. An Adjustable magnetic mount allows operators to control the tilt and rotation of the LED.

“Standard forklift notification systems can be very annoying and distracting with strobing lights and constant alarms,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “Using a blue steady burn LED eliminates the irritation and still efficiently notifies workers and pedestrians of the ongoing forklift operation.”

*About Larson Electronics LLC: *Larson Electronics LLC is a manufacturer of industrial lighting equipment and accessories. The company offers an extensive catalog of industry-grade lighting and power distribution products for the following sectors: manufacturing, construction, food processing, oil and gas, military, marine and automobile.

Software and Contact Center industry executive Michelle Burrows joins as Chief Marketing Officer; Seasoned financial executive David Nelson tapped as Chief Financial Officer

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) April 10, 2018

Serenova, a leading contact center-as-a-service (CCaaS) and workforce optimization (WFO) provider, today announced it has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Michelle Burrows as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and David Nelson as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Both Burrows and Nelson will play key roles designed to position Serenova for rapid market expansion in one of the most promising sectors in the customer experience ecosystem.

In her role, Burrows will lead Serenova’s global marketing functions including strategy, brand development, communications and demand generation. She will provide strategic direction for the company, working closely with the executive, sales and product teams to help Serenova broaden its footprint in the contact center market across geographic regions.

Burrows brings extensive experience in marketing and leadership. Most recently, she served as vice president of marketing and analytics at Comcast Business where she also led the customer loyalty contact center. Prior to Comcast Business, Burrows served as the vice president of Demand Marketing for inContact (NICE inContact). She has also held key leadership positions at Rally Software (CA Technologies), Verint Systems and Genesys Conferencing (West Corporation).

“Michelle’s vast experience in both marketing leadership and business expertise will be valuable for the Serenova team as we continue to grow and expand across the global contact center market,” said John Lynch, CEO of Serenova. “Her track record of growing technology businesses in the contact center industry makes her a vital addition to the leadership team, and we look forward to working with her as she expands the reach of the Serenova brand.”

Nelson has also been brought on board as Serenova's CFO. As Serenova experiences rapid growth and increasing demand for its contact center solutions, Nelson’s strong record of scaling companies, maximizing revenue growth, and driving profitability will be key components of the company’s success. In his role as CFO, Nelson will drive corporate finance, operations, and investor relations at Serenova.

Nelson has more than 30 years of financial management experience in the CFO role, both with private equity and venture-backed software and SaaS companies. Most recently, he was CFO of Periscope Holdings, a private equity backed, $30 million SaaS provider of enterprise and small and medium business procurement software solutions to 9,000 customers. Prior to that, Nelson was CFO at Q2 eBanking, a venture-backed SaaS provider of online, mobile, and security banking software that he led to IPO in 2014. He previously held similar executive positions at Trillion Partners, Salion, Hired.com, and Merrin Financial, a division of ADP.

Serenova Executive Team

These additions round out Serenova’s leadership team, which includes: Chief Technology Officer, Pascal Vincent; Chief Operations Officer, Julian Critchfield; Chief Product Officer, Matt Despain; and Vice President of People, Meg Marsh; and come as the executive team continues to evolve with John Lynch, former executive vice president of sales, ascending to CEO in Q1.

Lynch’s well-rounded history in leadership and business management make him well-positioned to lead Serenova through its next phase of growth. He is a proven leader with more than 20 years of experience building enterprise software teams, resulting in over $1 billion in revenue. Lynch has been with Serenova for more than two years playing a critical role in leading the global sales program as the company has driven an evolution in the CCaaS market with its introduction of CxEngage.

Prior to joining Serenova, Lynch was the senior vice president of global sales at Vendavo, a private, equity-owned leader in the price optimization space. Lynch served as vice president of sales at Mattersight Corporation, a company building behavioral routing software for call centers, rebuilding and leading the predictive analytics team to over $100 million in SaaS growth in three years. He served as director of North American sales for more than six years at Nuance Communications. During this time, his teams contributed significantly to Nuance’s massive growth from $60 million to $1.5 billion in revenue and 27 acquisitions.
