Synechron Affirms Productivity Benefits of GitHub Copilot

Published

on

PUNE, India, Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Synechron, Inc., a leading global digital transformation consulting firm focused on financial services and technology organizations, has deployed GitHub Copilot, a premier and widely adopted AI developer tool, for broad use by its developers in India.

Synechron has conducted multiple internal experiments across numerous projects within its global Financial Innovation Laboratories (FinLabs) and examined the impact of various Generative AI (GenAI) tools, including GitHub Copilot, on developer productivity, versus traditional, non-AI enhanced development processes. These broad initiatives resulted in productivity gains of up to 40 percent when GitHub Copilot was used as part of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) – including code generation, code migration and optimization, documentation and test automation.

Synechron found that the use of GitHub Copilot reduced both the time and effort required across the entire development lifecycle – from a developer’s initial creative spark to code review and deployment. To measure the impact on both productivity and developer happiness, Synechron conducted regular surveys to gauge developers’ success against a presented project plan. Synechron also found that the speed, efficiency and productivity gains realized through leveraging GitHub Copilot helped reduce stress among its developers. These proven effects on productivity and developer happiness have led to Synechron’s accelerated use of GitHub Copilot for a variety of program development initiatives.

Sandeep Kumar, Head of FinLabs, Synechron said, “At Synechron, we are constantly seeking ways to improve and enhance the entire software development lifecycle so that we can better serve our clients. Much to our delight, the use of GitHub Copilot not only enhanced the productivity of our experienced developers, but they reported less stress and a heightened state of happiness.”

Sharryn Napier, VP of APAC at GitHub, said, “We are thrilled to enable Synechron with GitHub Copilot, empowering its developers to be happier and more productive while accelerating overall innovation. Our own research reveals that developers are writing code approximately 55 percent faster with GitHub Copilot, and Synechron’s internal experiments affirm these productivity gains. We are excited to go on this journey with Synechron as we continue to transform the way organizations build software in the age of AI.”

DASH TWO Launches Integrated Paid Media Campaign for PanCAN’s PurpleStride 2025 with Local Focus in Key Cities

Published

DASH TWO leads the paid media campaign for PanCAN’s PurpleStride 2025, using targeted digital and local outdoor ads to boost registrations and drive awareness in key cities across the U.S.

LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DASH TWO is leading the paid media strategy for PurpleStride 2025, the signature fundraising walk from the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN), taking place nationwide on Saturday, April 26. With nearly 60 events scheduled across the country, the media campaign emphasizes both national awareness and local engagement, ensuring people know PurpleStride is happening in their community—and how to take part.

“Our focus this year is simplicity—making it easier for people to see the message, act on it, and join the cause.” — Kim Pham, Vice President at DASH TWO

The campaign includes an integrated mix of social, digital, and out-of-home media, all designed to reach potential participants where they are—whether that’s on their phones, during their commute, or walking around their neighborhood. The media effort is grounded in what worked well in previous years while adapting to shifts in user behavior and platform performance.

“Every year, we take what we’ve learned and fine-tune the strategy,” said Kim Pham, Vice President at DASH TWO. “Our focus this year is simplicity—making it easier for people to see the message, act on it, and join the cause.”

A Local Emphasis Where It Matters Most

The out-of-home portion of the campaign places a strong emphasis on three key event markets—New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.—each selected for their high foot traffic and strong community turnout.

In New York City, dynamic digital liveboards across more than 65 Screens throughout 7 subway stations deliver high-visibility messaging during daily commutes. Additionally, nighttime wall projections on E Houston & Bowery adds a creative layer to street-level engagement.In Los Angeles, DASH TWO deployed bus ads on Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus line, reaching residents and visitors in a highly walkable, media-restricted area. A prominent digital billboard along the 405 freeway—just south of LAX—amplifies the message to a broader commuter audience.In Washington, D.C., more than 50 digital liveboard subway placements throughout the Metro system deliver exposure across the DMV region. Full-motion creative runs in general market stations to ensure a broad reach.Together, these placements support local PurpleStride events and increase relevance in areas where in-person turnout matters most.

Building on Momentum from 2024

Last year’s paid media efforts helped PanCAN achieve a 30% increase in registrations year-over-year, driven by more intuitive registration tools and precise audience targeting. The 2024 Facebook lead form pilot proved especially effective, offering users a 10-second path to sign up directly within the platform.

In 2025, DASH TWO is expanding on that success with continued use of Meta lead forms, Google Performance Max, and TikTok lead generation in top markets. These tools help streamline the path from awareness to action, especially on mobile, where most users first engage with campaign messaging.

A National Campaign with a Local Lens

While the media strategy covers the U.S. as a whole, the local approach is what helps PurpleStride feel more personal. With events scheduled in cities like San Francisco, Chicago, Orange County, Atlanta, Silicon Valley, and Pittsburgh, the creative is designed to reflect each community’s role in the larger movement.

“Our job is to bring people in—to show them that this isn’t just some national event, it’s happening in their backyard,” said Pham. “Whether you’re walking in Boston or volunteering in Phoenix, you’re part of something bigger.”

The campaign runs through April 25 and supports PanCAN’s mission to take bold action against pancreatic cancer, improve survival, and support patients and families nationwide.

DASH TWO is a Los Angeles-based media agency that creates targeted campaigns across digital, social, and outdoor platforms. The agency works with brands, nonprofits, entertainment clients, and causes to connect with audiences in ways that are effective, measurable, and relevant.

onX Officially Introduces onX Fish to its Suite of Outdoor Adventure Apps

Published

on

By

MISSOULA, Mont., April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today onX, a pioneer in digital outdoor navigation, introduced its newest app: onX Fish Midwest, marking a significant expansion into the fishing industry.

Over the last 12 months, onX has developed the onX Fish app, gathering feedback from thousands of users, and creating features to solve their unique challenges. Today, the app is tailored to meet angler needs in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, as the company plans to continue expanding across the Midwest this year.

Founded in 2009, onX develops mapping solutions that inform, inspire, and empower millions of outdoor recreationists. onX Hunt, onX Offroad, and onX Backcountry make up the company’s original suite of apps. Last year, the company acquired TroutRoutes, the leading mapping resource for stream and river anglers, signaling an expansion into the world of fishing. Today, the announcement of onX Fish rounds out the company’s suite of apps across a wide array of outdoor pursuits, cementing onX as the most comprehensive digital mapping resource for all outdoor adventurers.

“onX Fish helps anglers find new lakes and gives them the confidence to get there,” said onX Fish Marketing Manager Joel Nelson. “For lake anglers, onX Fish solves the age old question of ‘where should I go fishing?’ Whether they’re chasing trophies, memories, or dinner, finding new lakes teeming with trophy panfish or eater walleyes has never been simpler.”

The app’s Lake Finder feature helps anglers find a new fishing spot by filtering thousands of lakes for different species, trophy or keeper potential, and abundance based on scientific data acquired from each state’s fish and wildlife agencies. In addition to fish-related parameters, the app allows users to filter lakes based on lake size, access amenities like parking, toilets, and boat ramps – all for an entire region, among one or several species.

Other key features of the app include area insights, regulations, weather, fishery details, offline maps, recent satellite imagery, and an Apple CarPlay integration. As the fishing season kicks off across the U.S. this spring, onX Fish customers can expect the company to continue updating its offering and toolset in new states, starting in the Midwest.

The app is currently available in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, and can be downloaded on the onX Fish website or at the Apple App Store. As onX Fish expands, annual membership pricing is just $34.99.
