Rocketlane Snags $24M To Bring AI-Led Experiences For Professional Services Teams

SaaS firm Rocketlane has raised an additional $24 million in funding. Rocketlane’s automation platform serves professional services teams in the United States, India, and Europe. The company wants to use AI to help businesses comprehend client feedback more thoroughly.

The Challenge for Professional Services Teams

Professional services teams are responsible for delivering projects to clients on time and within budget. Despite the critical nature of this task, these teams often lack unified solutions and have to juggle multiple tools, causing project delays and client anxiety. A category called professional services automation (PSA) has emerged to address these issues, but many PSA solutions still rely on traditional software, leading to inaccurate project health reports and subpar delivery experiences.

The Solution: Rocketlane’s All-in-One PSA Platform

Headquartered in Utah and Chennai, Rocketlane replaces several tools used by professional services teams for client projects. These tools include time tracking, resource management, project accounting and management, document collaboration, and communication, all integrated into Rocketlane’s all-in-one modern PSA platform.

Founding and Evolution of Rocketlane

Founded in April 2020 by second-time entrepreneurs Srikrishnan Ganesan, Vignesh Girishankar, and Deepak Bala, Rocketlane initially aimed to support customer onboarding. However, the startup has since broadened its scope to address the needs of professional services teams.

The concept of Rocketlane emerged from the challenges the co-founders faced while onboarding customers at their previous startup, Freshchat, which was acquired by Freshworks in 2015.

03 Der längste Nachname der Schweiz lautet Thirugnanasampanthamoorthy. Auf Tamilisch bedeutet der Name: Der von den Göttern Milch trank und somit stark wurde.

«Immer wieder fahre ich in Zürich-Oerlikon an einem Strassenschild vorbei, darauf steht: «Else-Lasker-Schüler-Weg». Immer denke ich dann: Muss ganz schön mühsam sein, diese Adresse zu haben, wenn man beispielsweise bei einem Preisausschreiben die Strasse in eines dieser kurzen Felder auf einer Antwortpostkarte schreiben muss. Andererseits ist es sicher schön, an einer Strasse zu leben, die nach einer Dichterin benannt ist, irgendwie … poetisch? Im Tessin fuhr ich durch eine Strasse mit Namen Via Linoleum. Dort würde ich gern wohnen, dachte ich, wenigstens des Namens wegen, der nicht lang ist, aber schön. Leider gibt es in der Stadt, in der ich lebe, keine Linoleumstrasse. Bloss eine Plattenstrasse. Ich hoffe sehr, lieber Herr Thirugnanasampanthamoorthy, dass dereinst jemand den Mut haben wird, eine Strasse nach Ihnen zu benennen, sei es in Bellinzona oder anderswo. Eine Postkarte an die Srikrishnan-Thirugnanasampanthamoorthy-Strasse zu senden, das wird mir eine Freude sein.» (Max Küng)

PS: Eine Linoleumstrasse gibts übrigens auch in Delmenhorst, einem Ort in Niedersachsen, einst besungen von der Band Element of Crime. Aber deswegen dorthin ziehen?

«Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch» – nein, hier ist niemand mit dem Kopf auf der Tastatur eingeschlafen. Mit seinen 58 Buchstaben hat das rund hundert Kilometer westlich von Liverpool gelegene Dorf den längsten amtlichen Ortsnamen Europas. Im Walisischen bedeutet der Name: «Marienkirche (Llanfair) in einer Mulde (pwll) weisser Haseln (gwyn gyll) in der Nähe (ger) eines schnellen Wirbels (chwyrn drobwll) und der Thysiliokirche (llantysilio) bei der roten Höhle (ogo goch)», klar so weit?»

Simpler models could be better for determining certain climate risks

- By A'ndrea Elyse Messer , Penn State -

Typically, computer models of climate become more and more complex as researchers strive to capture more details of our Earth's system, but according to a team of Penn State researchers, to assess risks, less complex models, with their ability to better sample uncertainties, may be a better choice.

"There is a downside to the very detailed, very complex models we often strive for," said Casey Helgeson, assistant research professor, Earth and Environmental Systems Institute. "Sometimes the complexity of scientific tools constrains what we can learn through science. The choke point isn't necessarily at the knowledge going into a model, but at the processing."

Climate risks are important to planners, builders, government officials and businesses. The probability of a potential event combined with the severity of the event can determine things like whether it makes sense to build in a given location.

The researchers report online in Philosophy of Science that "there is a trade-off between a model's capacity to realistically represent the system and its capacity to tell us how confident it is in its predictions."

Complex Earth systems models need a lot of supercomputer time to run. However, when looking at risk, uncertainty is an important element and researchers can only discover uncertainty through multiple runs of a computer model. Computer time is expensive.

"We need complex models to simulate the interactions between Earth system processes," said Vivek Srikrishnan, assistant research professor, Earth and Environmental Systems Institute. "We need simple models to quantify risks."

According to Klaus Keller, professor of geosciences, multiple model runs are important because many events of concern such as floods are, fortunately, the exception, not what is expected. They happen in the tails of the distribution of possible outcomes. Learning about these tails requires many model runs.

Simple models, while not returning the detailed, complex information of the latest complex model containing all the bells and whistles, can be run many times quickly, to provide a better estimate of the probability of rare events.

"One of the things we focus on are values embedded in the models and whether the knowledge being produced by those models provides decision makers with the knowledge they need to make the decisions that matter to them," said Nancy Tuana, DuPont/Class of 1949 Professor of Philosophy and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

Determining an appropriate model that can address the question and is still transparent is important.

"We want to obtain fundamental and useful insights," said Keller. "Using a simple model that allows us to better quantify risks can be more useful for decision-makers than using a complex model that makes it difficult to sample decision-relevant outcomes."

Srikrishnan added, "We need to make sure there is an alignment between what researchers are producing and what is required for real-world decision making."

The researchers understand that they need to make both the producers and users happy, but sometimes the questions being asked do not match the tools being used because of uncertainties and bottlenecks.

"We need to ask 'what do we need to know and how do we go about satisfying the needs of stakeholders and decision makers?'" said Tuana.

The CDC warns against a new illness that can cause paralysis in children; the Honduran migrant caravan slowly makes its way to the US.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning against a mysterious new illness that’s appeared in children in 22 states this year and is quickly spreading across the US. [TicToc Bloomberg]

So far, the CDC has received 127 reports of suspected cases of the disease, which is called acute flaccid myelitis. AFM is a polio-like condition that affects the nervous system and may cause paralysis. [Twitter / AJ+]

Ninety percent of the afflicted patients are under the age of 18. The cause of AFM is still unknown, as patients have not tested positive for polio, but doctors suspect it’s a virus. Though there’s no vaccine to treat it so far, most children recover quickly. [ABC News / Bopha Phorn]

AFM first grabbed attention in 2014 with 120 reported cases. Yet the condition indicates an every-other-year pattern, with the number of afflicted patients dropping every year and spiking the following one. [NBC News / Maggie Fox]

The 2014 increase coincided with a national outbreak of a severe respiratory illness caused by another non-polio virus, the enterovirus D68. People are more likely to get infected by D68 during the fall. [CNN / Jay Croft]

Minnesota, which previously saw only one case of AFM a year, now has seven confirmed cases of the virus, according to state officials. [KNSI / Jennifer Lewerenz]

The caravan, primarily made up of Honduran natives, began its march last Friday and has now reached Guatemala, picking up more migrants on its journey. The trip north does not mark an unusual event, as tens of thousands of Central Americans have migrated to the US in the past to flee violence and poverty. [NYT / Kirk Semple]

Trump has repeatedly warned against the caravan’s movement. On Tuesday, he even extended his threats to Guatemala and El Salvador, saying “all payments made to them will STOP” if officials allow their citizens to migrate illegally. [Vox / Dara Lind]

Mexico immigration officials warn that people traveling unauthorized in the caravan — meaning they didn’t get visas from the consulate in Honduras — will not be allowed to enter Mexico. In the past, Mexico has offered migrants humanitarian visas, as well as aid. [Twitter / Maya Srikrishnan]

Canada became the first major world economy to legalize recreational marijuana Wednesday, and is vying to also introduce legislation that will pardon citizens who were convicted of cannabis possession. [NYT / Dan Bilefsky]

Officials in Chengdu, China, announced they will launch an “artificial moon” into the sky in two years. The illumination satellite will be eight times as bright as the actual moon and may even replace the city’s streetlights. [Asia Times]

This Week in Border Security: March 30, 2018

U.S. border fails to contain a southbound threat: firearms

2017 was Mexico’s most violent year on record, with more than 29,000 homicides. Of the firearm related deaths, most involved guns trafficked to Mexico across the U.S. border. According to Al Jazeera, citing a 2016 U.S. Government Accountability Office report, from 2009-2014, 70% of guns recovered and traced in Mexican crime scenes were purchased in the United States and smuggled into Mexico. “Doing so is easy, since the U.S.-Mexico border is designed principally to facilitate massive volumes of trade.,” Al Jazeera noted. “The Border Patrol, fences, and militarized infrastructure on that border are to stop migrants moving from south to north, not threats that move from the U.S. into Mexico.” NPR reports that every year, approximately 253,000 firearms cross into Mexico.

Though the Trump administration has been focused on keeping “threats” out of the United States, it has failed to recognize southbound threats that contribute to organized crime and human rights violations across Mexico, especially the smuggling of arms and bulk cash from illegal transactions.

Most of these weapons are bought, legally, at U.S. gun shops and gun shows. To reduce the impact on security and human rights in Mexico, Congress and border states must focus on arms trafficking, more aggressively investigating and punishing the transport of assault weapons and magazines across the border.

Refugee caravan of 1,500 heads to California despite increased rigor to request asylum

Pueblo Sin Fronteras, a Mexican immigrant rights group, organized a caravan of 1,500 Central Americans, many of them families, women, and unaccompanied minors, that plans to make a 2,000 mile long journey through Mexico to reach the U.S. border. Along the way, migrants are attending workshops to prepare for how to request asylum once they reach California in about a month.

Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to  deter refugees from requesting asylum, such as family separation at the border and prolonged detention, a Mexico-based organizer with Pueblo Sin Fronteras, Rodrigo Abeja, pointed out, “The number of people on this journey illustrates the desperation people have to stay alive…The journey is extreme. People say that if they stay where they are they’ll die. So they’re here because they’re trying to stay alive.”

If the caravan arrives, it will deal a shock to a U.S. asylum system already teetering under massive caseloads and multiple allegations of improper procedure. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Human Rights Watch filed a lawsuit against the US government over “evidence that the Border Patrol has abused asylum seekers and misrepresented their statements.” This Thursday in Seattle, Washington, U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez ruled that the Department of Homeland Security routinely failed to notify asylum seekers of the deadlines to file their applications. Martinez said that going forward, DHS must notify asylum-seekers of the deadlines and ”give those who missed the deadline another year to file their applications.”

New policy: pregnant refugees must be held in detention facilities despite inadequate medical services

Until now, pregnant women detained at the border would not be held in detention facilities while awaiting asylum-related court proceedings. However, under a new policy issued this Thursday, detention will be mandatory for pregnant women. According to the Houston Chronicle, “Since December 2017, when the policy went into effect, the agency has detained 506 pregnant women.… It currently has 35 such women in detention.”

This new policy comes despite prior allegations of neglect o fpregnant women in detention facilities. After being assaulted by a Border Patrol agent, Rubia Mabel Morales Alfaro, who was two months pregnant, requested medical attention for “abdominal pain, dizziness, and nausea” earlier this year at the Otay Mesa Detention Center south of San Diego. She was seen by the facility’s doctor but found out she had miscarried over a week later when she began to bleed.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security. According to the ACLU, “Several women in our complaint report that they were ignored and denied immediate medical care even in cases of extreme bleeding and pain. Others said that they were concerned about their pregnancies because of previous health issues and miscarriages.”

Immigrants don’t drive up crime, a report finds

This Friday the Marshall Project published an in-depth investigation on America’s perceptions of the “criminal immigrant.” The report found that although there has been a 118% increase in the U.S. immigrant population since 1980, violent crime has decreased 36% in those years.

This contradicts the nearly 50% of Americans who perceive immigrants as “worsening” crime. This perception is fueled by President Trump’s rhetoric. Just last week, he said, “Every day, sanctuary cities release illegal immigrants, drug dealers, traffickers, gang members back into our communities, they’re safe havens for just some terrible people.”

The Lowdown on the Border Shutdown

In the past couple of weeks, tensions in Tijuana have mounted due to the recent influx of Central American migrants who are seeking asylum in the United States.

President Donald Trump deployed troops to the border to support U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Local residents in Tijuana have rallied against the migrants. And Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum has spoken out against them. At the same time, the migrants themselves have grown desperate as the process of requesting asylum has become more difficult in recent weeks.

All that tension reached a fever pitch on Sunday, when officials closed down the San Ysidro Port of Entry after hundreds of migrants rushed toward the border.

In this week’s podcast, host Scott Lewis sits down with Voice of San Diego reporter Maya Srikrishnan to discuss what exactly led up to that moment. Also on the podcast, Lewis and Andrew Keatts go over the fiery trash talk that’s been happening at City Hall. Plus, Lisa Halverstadt answers Balboa Park questions submitted by our readers in a new People’s Reporter segment.

One last thing: Don’t forget to check out our bonus episode. Lewis sat down with Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez and County Supervisor-elect Nathan Fletcher, two of San Diego’s most influential politicians, and talked about a wide range of issues.

Hero of the Week

This week’s hero is Superior Court Judge Ronald Frazier, who’s poised to suspend an Encinitas law giving locals final say over major land-use changes.

Goat of the Week

The Carlton Gallery in La Jolla gets the goat. San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott filed charges against the gallery for allegedly trafficking in ivory, which is illegal under state law.
