As innovation has accelerated in satellite communications in the past five years, it has put pressure on hardware and software providers to deliver greater performance and more flexible capabilities. While technology in space tends to get a lot of attention, its hardware on the ground that makes delivering services from space possible.  Last month during SATELLITE, On Orbit interviewed Daniel Gizinski, president of Comtech's Satellite and Space Communications Segment about changes happening in the satellite ground segment, and how Comtech is evolving its offerings along with those changes. This conversation digs into what's new in Comtech's Elevate 2.0 VSAT platform, and digital common ground modem line. Gizinski also talks about the customer needs that drove these products, like sovereign communications, and reconfigurability.  This episode of On Orbit is sponsored by Comtech.

But always be kind, because you never know when you will need people or just, this is a business of teaming. And so, you know, people want to work with people who are kind." — Megan DiSciullo [00:08:43 → 00:09:05] On the Role of Data in Communications: "Data is the ultimate neutralizer. Whether the data is coming from the comms team, the marketing team, or from our client insights team. The data is telling us key insights about our audience that we need to know." — Megan DiSciullo [00:27:19 → 00:27:35] On the Importance of Change Management: "It makes for sometimes an uphill battle. And that's where change management culture change really needs to happen. And there's no amount of money, I think, that you can put down on the value of pilots and tests and stuff to kind of use that data and sort of show examples and gain permission and gain buy in over time." — Dan Nestle [00:31:15 → 00:31:35] On the Importance of Change Management: "If you put out, even if it's a tech product that's in the 1.0 version and it's not a good experience, you've lost people. So it doesn't matter how many times you communicate about it if the experience isn't great, especially in today's world where people have little appetite and little patience." — Megan DiSciullo [00:35:22 → 00:35:42] On the Role of AI in Enhancing Productivity: "Once you understand, okay, all prompting, and this is what it is, and this is what it means. That's that kind of first initial wall to get through with the user with the AI partner. And once they get through that wall, then it's about, oh, my goodness, I'm going to save all this time." — Dan Nestle [00:45:39 → 00:46:00] On the Future of AI in Communications: "I see Gen AI, at least in its current function and form, to be a productivity and efficiency tool. There is still a need for really great counsel, really great crisis management skills, really great relationship building skills, really great dot connecting skills." — Megan DiSciullo [00:48:39 → 00:48:55] On the Future of Communications: "AI is an enabler with that, of course, because a lot of the fundamental tasks that people associate with typical traditional comms can be essentially handed over to, at least at the first level, to these brilliant, co creative, co intelligent platforms, and then brought back to the human to make sure that it's all good to go, but it saves a lot of time, much more productive." — Dan Nestle [01:02:13 → 01:02:35] On the Evolution of the Communications Profession: "I started faxing press releases. I am so far from a fax machine and loving it. But I'm now learning the next skill, and in ten years, I'm going to learn something that we haven't even started to think about. And that is the beauty of this profession." — Megan DiSciullo [01:04:47 → 01:05:00]  Resources and Links Dan Nestle The Trending Communicator | Website Daniel Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter Megan DiSciullo Megan DiSciullo | LinkedIn Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Flowsend.ai) 00:00:01: Introduction and Welcome 00:01:41: Megan DiSciullo Joins the Conversation 00:02:19: Early Career and First Impressions 00:03:21: Transition from Edelman to PwC 00:04:22: Predictive Analytics Project 00:05:25: First Meeting with Megan 00:06:08: Megan's Reaction to Predictive Analytics 00:08:43: Megan's Philosophy on Kindness and Teaming 00:10:16: Importance of Kindness in Business 00:11:06: Megan's Career Journey 00:12:07: Early Interest in Purpose and Ethics 00:13:09: Work with Business Roundtable Post-Katrina 00:14:10: Transition to PwC and Building Internal Change 00:15:12: Merging Internal and External Communications 00:16:14: Introduction to Comtech 00:17:15: Commtech vs. Commstech 00:19:41: Data and Analytics in Communications 00:21:13: Building the Tech Stack 00:22:15: Embedding Technology into Workflows 00:23:17: Audience-Centric Approach 00:24:05: Partnership Between Marketing and Communications 00:27:19: Navigating Conflicts Between Teams 00:30:13: Change Management and Culture Change 00:32:16: Integrating Marketing and Communications 00:33:22: Expanding Teams and Data Science 00:35:26: Importance of Pilots and Feedback 00:37:33: AI Implementation and Upskilling 00:39:21: Team Effort in AI Training 00:40:31: Hands-On Training and Gamification 00:42:02: Democratization of Learning 00:43:03: Bespoke Tools for Marketing and Comms 00:45:07: Mass Personalization with GenAI 00:47:12: Empowering Teams with AI 00:48:39: Encouraging Innovation and Experimentation 00:50:49: Framing AI as a Co-Intelligence 00:54:46: Ethical Implications of AI 00:57:02: Building Trust in AI 00:59:15: Transparency and Validation in AI 01:00:43: Future Focus for Communicators 01:02:13: Role of Communicators in Culture Building 01:03:53: Embracing Curiosity and Learning 01:04:48: Final Thoughts and Farewell     (Notes co-created by Humans and a variety of AI helpers, including Fireflies.ai and Flowsend.ai)

I saw a post recently about an MSP that gave away a Tesla... Needless to say I was immediately intrigued. Ironically, most of the comments were fairly negative and the community thought it was a bad idea. Well, I commented how much I loved the idea, and the guy that came up with the idea responded. In this podcast, I interview Hunter with ComTech to go over how he came up with the idea, executing on it, and of course, the results! A quick note, I love how many MSPs are open and willing to be on the podcast. They don't care about "competition" they're just willing to help. I hope you find value in this conversation. I know it got me motivated to think even bigger! We're very grateful that membership is growing!

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode The Ultimate Computer, which aired on March 8, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 4729.4. The Enterprise is ordered to be part of a test of the new M5 Multitronic System, a computer designed to replace a starship crew. In an unscheduled drill at Alpha Carinae 2, M5 defends the Enterprise against attacks from the starships Excalibur and Lexington. The M5 is declared the victor of the simulated contest, prompting Commodore Bob Wesley to call Kirk "Captain Dunsel." Spock explains the meaning of "dunsel" to McCoy as a term used by midshipmen at the Federation Academy for a part that serves no useful purpose. In a short time, however, M5 takes control of the Enterprise. Daystrom is surprised by the M5's actions but views its behavior as mistakes made by a "child" who is still learning. At the scheduled rendezvous point, the M5 attacks the Excalibur, Lexington, Hood, and Potemkin. Kirk finally shuts off M5 by pointing out that killing humans has violated its programming of saving men from dangerous activities such as space exploration. Since the penalty for murder is death, the M5 concludes that it must die and shuts itself down. Daystrom is committed to a rehabilitation program, but Spock still refuses to respond to McCoy's prodding that human compassion outweighs any advantages computers may have in computational ability.

Dr. Kemplin earned her BNSc at Queen's University, MScN and Doctorate in Nursing Practice at Loyola University (New Orleans), and PhD from Rush University (Chicago). Kate was a civilian emergency/trauma nurse specialist for the United States Army before becoming faculty in Nursing and Operational Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia with subsequent appointments in the University of North Carolina and University of Tennessee systems. In early 2020, Kate was appointed Chief Nursing Officer of Columbia/Presbyterian's 220-bed COVID hospital during New York City's worst pandemic surges to date. Dr. Kemplin returns home to Queen's from the University of Windsor Faculty of Nursing where she directed the Kemplin Lacesso Research Lab.SOF suicides are a major area of her research, and her ex-husband Michael Froede sadly took his own life in 2019 while assigned to a secretive Army intelligence unit.Michael Froede suspected he was being followed. For weeks after he returned from a highly classified mission in Vietnam, he would see people watching him in Washington, D.C. They'd be parked outside his house or tailing him while driving. Sometimes while on the road, Froede would pull a U-turn and swing back around on the suspected surveillance team to take their pictures, to let them know that he knew they were there.At 9:30 a.m. on June 23, 2019, Froede drove his Dodge Ram to the third floor of the Carroll Creek parking garage in Frederick, Md. After backing into a parking space, he sat back in his seat, lit up a Camel cigarette and flicked the ash out the window.Froede was a member of a secret Army unit known by the innocuous-sounding cover name Communications Technology Research Activity, or COMTECH, part of an elite group of Army hackers who received tasks from the National Security Agency. Working from the U.S. or deployed abroad, Froede was one of America's secret soldiers, a military spy.

It’s been a year since Boris Wertz was a guest on Tank Talks, and oh what a year it’s been. We’ve seen NFTs and Crypto rise, fall, rise, and crash. And that’s just the last few weeks. We thought it would be fun to listen with new ears to this thought-provoking conservation with someone who has helped build the crypto space into what it is today. Through his position as an early investor in Dapper Labs, creators of CryptoKitties and NBA TopShot, Boris has been an early believer in the power of blockchain and crypto and he’s now setting his sights on climate change investing and the creator economy.Boris’ Background:Boris Wertz is founding partner of Version One and one of the top tech early-stage investors in North America. Born in Germany and based in Vancouver, Boris takes a wide-angle view to find great companies all across North America with a focus on the pre-seed and the seed stage in marketplaces, enterprise SaaS, crypto, healthcare, energy, climate.. He is a board partner with Andreessen Horowitz and is well-respected for his uncanny ability to find the next generation of leaders. Before becoming an investor, Boris built an online marketplace for used and out-of-print books in 1999, selling the business to AbeBooks.com where he became COO and led a team of 140 people doing $250mm in platform revenues. After AbeBooks.com was sold to Amazon, he moved into investing, first as an angel and now with his own fund Version One which launched in 2012.A word from our sponsor:At Ripple, we manage all of our fund expenses and employee credit cards using Jeeves.The team at Jeeves helped get me and my team setup with physical and virtual credit cards in days. I was able to allow my teammates to expense items in multiple currencies allowing them to pay for anything, anywhere at any time. We weren’t asked for any personal guarantees or to pay any setup or monthly SaaS fees.Not only does Jeeves save us time, but they also give us up to 3% cash back on our purchases including expenses like Google, Facebook or AWS every month. The best part is Jeeves puts up the cash, and you settle up once every 30 days in any currency you want, unlike some other corporate card companies that make you pre-pay every month.Jeeves also recently launched its Jeeves Growth and Working Capital initiative for startups and fast-growing companies to enable more financial freedom for every entrepreneur. The best thing of all is that Jeeves is live in 24 countries including Canada, the US and many other countries around the world. Jeeves truly offers the best all-in-one expense management corporate card program for all startups especially the ones at Ripple and we at Tank Talks could not be more excited to officially partner with them.Listeners of Tank Talks can get set up with a demo of Jeeves today and take advantage of our Tank Talks special with a $700 sign-on bonus and skip the waitlist that already has thousands of companies by visiting tryjeeves.com/tanktalks to get setup today!In this episode we discuss:02:27 The growth of DeFi as an industry03:48 How negative associations with the early ICO market has affected DeFi06:01 The opportunity Boris saw in 201709:32 The speed of innovation the crypto space11:14 How big the market for Ethereum can grow12:52 Valuing crypto platforms and protocols14:04 How Uniswap.com works and its power16:10 The lending mechanic in Ethereum18:58 New platforms like nexusmutual.io and opyn.co22:42 How DeFi compares and competes with another Boris portfolio company, Coinbase27:28 Has Boris bought any TopShot packs personally29:39 Selling his Cryptokitties investment to his LPs31:30 The future of cryptoart32:33 What value means with today’s meme-investing34:47 How his team decides on what is worth investing in37:50 Addressing Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger’s crypto critique40:08 Working with LPs as investment thesis evolves43:02 How portfolio company silviaterra.com is working to fight climate change44:34 Investing while remoteFast FavoritesPodcast:Invest Like The BestNewsletter or blog:stratechery.comTech gadget:Google PixelNew trend:The creator economyFavorite book:Albert Banger’s forthcoming bookFollow Matt Cohen and Tank Talks here!Podcast production support provided by Agentbee.Agency This is a public episode.

The Compliance Life details the journey to and in the role of a Chief Compliance Officer. How does one come to sit in the CCO chair? What are some of the skills a CCO needs to success navigate the compliance waters in any company? What are some of the top challenges CCOs have faced and how did they meet them? These questions and many others will be explored in this new podcast series. Over four episodes each month on The Compliance Life, I visit with one current or former CCO to explore their journey to the CCO chair. This month, my guest is Valerie Charles, partner at StoneTurn. We discuss Valerie's journey to the CCO chair, then to a ComTech start up, to her current role at StoneTurn and look down the road at where ComTech and compliance will be in 2025 and beyond. In this concluding episode, Valerie looks down the road at the compliance function. She believes there will be increased use of ComTech by compliance functions. Moreover, CCOs and compliance professionals will need learn how to use data and become more comfortable in leveraging data for insights to help prevent, detect and remediate corporate conduct. The corporate compliance function will become even more important in the corporate setting as it will bring together various corporate functions such as legal, HR and IT into collaborative actions.

Sabine: Well, hello, Larry and thank you very much for the invitation to appear here on this prestigious podcast. And hello podcast listeners out there. As Larry mentioned, my name is Sabine Ocker and I'm a longtime enterprise information architect. And the way that I think about that is that usually that means that I might be centered in an engineering organization or in an information development organization.

Sabine Ocker is an enterprise information architect. She works with taxonomies and other content metadata to help big companies deliver to their customers the right information at the right time. Sabine is not just a great content architect. She's also an expert at convincing decision makers to support her work. She speaks the business language that managers and executives use, crafting concise stories that persuade decision makers to open their checkbooks. Interview transcript Larry: Hi, everyone. Welcome to episode number 90 of the Content Strategy Insights podcast. I'm really happy today to have with us Sabine Ocker. Sabine is an enterprise information architect. She's currently working at Comtech, a consulting firm. Welcome, Sabine. Tell the folks a little bit more about what you do there at Comtech and what an enterprise information architect does. Sabine: Well, hello, Larry and thank you very much for the invitation to appear here on this prestigious podcast. And hello podcast listeners out there. As Larry mentioned, my name is Sabine Ocker and I'm a longtime enterprise information architect. And the way that I think about that is that usually that means that I might be centered in an engineering organization or in an information development organization. But the work that I do especially around taxonomies and metadatas, really does extend into the tool realm. Having the business drivers of metadata be manifested in the authoring environment and then also be surfaced and exposed and being processable by the delivery platform and the tools and being sort of that facilitator that writes the requireme...

Robert Dixon, Former CIO of PepsiCo, and Rick Rioboli, EVP and CIO of Comcast Cable, both remember when the role of the CIO was relegated to the back office. Now, CIOs are leading critical business initiatives as more and more companies go through digital transformations. On this episode of CIO Classified, they discuss how to be successful as a CIO and build with customers in mind.Key TakeawaysIn the early days of the role, CIOs did more order-taking than business transformation. Now, they've developed their role and increased their impact, moving from the back office to the forefront of customer experience thanks to digital transformation.CIOs need to communicate with diverse sets of internal teams from product managers, to tech incubators within an enterprise, to various engineering teams. Seeing your company from different perspectives gives you a better sense of what work is most important.When you're optimizing for customer experience, don't lose track of customer identity. One customer interaction might leverage several different cloud services. CIOs need to ensure that those systems powering that experience can track and source a user's identity seamlessly and securely.Key Quotes"I've seen business leaders step up in technological transformation. They're coming to the table looking at this as a way to leverage technical capabilities to create better value or new value for customers."  - Robert"Don't feel like your job is just to take orders from the business. Teams should take a step back, understand what's important to their business, figure out how to leverage their technology in an innovative way to change things while partnering with the business." - Rick"When you see an opportunity to overlap what's needed from a business perspective to create value and what's possible with technology, you put those two things together with the right teams and that's going to be really beneficial for your customer."  - Robert"When we started our digital transformation, identity was at the center. It's hard to have a digital relationship with a customer if you don't have a digital identity of that customer. In our customer experience, that's a key component." - RickLinksRobert Dixon LinkedInRick Rioboli LinkedInPepsiCoComcast—Thanks to our friendsLearn more about CIO Classified and find other episodes at CIOpod.comThis podcast is brought to you by Box, Okta, Slack, and Zoom.

What will be the role of AI in compliance going forward? LawTech disrupted the legal profession and reshaped many areas of private practice. I believe there will is a nascent ComTech industry lurking down the road with multiple implications for the compliance function. Obviously, document review is one area where ComTech would be most useful. There are many companies which provide key word searches and these same concepts translate readily into the compliance world through massive database searches for key words, such as an ongoing review through email sweeps. There is yet another set of AI tools that can review contracts to see if any specific types of clauses are non-standard. Soon compliance will be pushed more to the forefront in AML. AI will allow a more robust KYC approach. Another area where compliance is often left behind is in the arena of M&A. AI can help in this area. There are companies which have software that allows thousands of documents to be reviewed in the M&A context. A prime example of where AI can assist the compliance function is with third-parties in supply chain management. There have always been technological innovations which help make compliance disciplines run more efficiently, more smoothly and more profitably. AI is simply another step in this line of technological developments. There is certainly no reason to be afraid of using it. Given the disruption which has impacted the legal profession through LawTech; disruption is not far behind in the compliance world through ComTech.  Three key takeaways: AI has already disrupted the legal profession; the compliance profession will be next. ComTech will be the result. Document review will be the first area of significant AI use in compliance. Beware the limitations and disadvantages of ComTech.

In this chapter, we will consider innovation in compliance from a variety of angles including artificial intelligence (AI) and computer technology (ComTech), structural innovations, tools and tactics and innovation in leadership. This will provide you a number of solid ideas you can use to move your compliance program forward. Begin by considering the starting point, which is an innovation strategy. In the most recent DPAs and NPAs issued by the DOJ they all include an element along the following strictures: The Company will conduct periodic reviews and testing of its anti-corruption compliance code, policies, and procedures designed to evaluate and improve their effectiveness in preventing and detecting violations of anti-corruption laws and the Company’s anti-corruption code, policies, and procedures, taking into account relevant developments in the field and evolving international and industry standards.  This means that the DOJ expects innovation in your compliance program to keep up with evolving international and industry standards. This requires you to implement an innovation strategy. Three key takeaways: Both the DOJ and SEC expect innovation in your compliance program. Innovation in compliance should have a strategy going forward. The key is to demonstrate how the compliance innovation will benefit the business going forward.

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode we take a deep dive into recent Hogan Lovell’s report High Seas: Steering the Course II Navigating bribery and corruption risk in 2020. We conclude with a special tribute to Bernie Ebbers and his role in creating the modern compliance professional.  Some of the highlights include: What do the survey results say about the direction of compliance function spending? Can companies manage risks in emerging markets when compliance spending is decelerating? Technology can improve compliance efficiency but it can also improve compliance evasion. Will CCOs be able to interpret data from ComTech tools? What are the implications for the compliance discipline and CCO?

En este episodio Felipe Arango, nos presenta e introduce nuestra primera temporada de podcasts sobre ComTech, La insurrección de la comunicación.

En este episodio discutimos sobre ComTech, un termino que va a revolucionar la comunicación.

A 64-year-old Ohio man received a 20-month prison sentence for illegally exporting industrial equipment to Iran, and he did it for more than a decade.In November 2006, Behrooz Behroozian became the owner and operator of Comtech International, a computer parts supplier in Dublin, Ohio. The problem was that Comtech didn't have a storefront or any domestic sales, and it rarely exported computer parts. Instead, according to the Department of Justice, the shell company exported gas and oil pipeline parts to Sumar Industrial Equipment in the United Arab Emirates. Sumar acted as a middleman, passing the parts to Iran and covering up the Columbus man's scheme. His actions violated sanctions imposed upon Iran by the U.S. in May 1995.He exported manifolds, valves, and connectors used for industrial pipelines in the gas and oil refinement industry and made from $35,000 to $40,000 per year. Behroozian was born in Iran in 1955. He entered the U.S. in 1976 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1987.

What will be the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in compliance going forward? LawTech had disrupted the legal profession and how it is reshaping many areas of private practice. I found the article had multiple implications for the compliance function. Indeed, I believe there will be a ComTech industry lurking down the road. Learn more about your ad choices.
