Published

By

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TriVision, a leading DC creative agency specializing in multimedia production, design and marketing services is proud to announce its collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Rural Development (RD). USDA RD, which works to foster opportunity and economic security in rural America, needed a creative partner to enhance its communications and outreach efforts with high-quality multimedia content that effectively conveys its mission to diverse audiences. In September 2023, the agency selected TriVision to support its Office of External Affairs (OEA), handling a wide range of services from multimedia and video production to speechwriting, design, web development, and print materials.

Strengthening Rural Communities Across the Nation

USDA Rural Development is dedicated to strengthening local infrastructure, creating jobs, and advancing rural prosperity through innovation and technology. With 70 programs and initiatives, USDA RD supports rural families and farmers affected by both domestic and global economic challenges. Rural America is a cornerstone of the nation, home to resilient, innovative communities and abundant natural resources that supply the food, fiber, and fuel essential to powering the U.S. economy.

In September 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration announced $7.3 billion in funding for rural electric cooperatives to develop clean energy projects through the Empowering Rural America (ERA) program. Combined with other rural clean energy initiatives, this represents the largest investment in rural electrification since President Franklin D. Roosevelt. USDA impacts Americans daily and is transforming the food system by focusing on resilient local production, fairer markets, and access to safe, nutritious food for all.

A Comprehensive Creative Partnership

As a full-service marketing agency offering a one-stop solution, TriVision has been instrumental in helping USDA RD’s Office of External Affairs elevate its communication and outreach efforts. The collaboration spans a wide range of services, including graphic design, video production, website design consultation, speechwriting, printing, logistics and distribution, as well as internal communications support. TriVision’s work involves creating print-ready and digital materials, such as multilingual brochures and booklets, as well as producing and distributing printed content like banners and promotional items for both internal and external audiences.

VIEW FEATURED TRIVISION PAST PROJECTS

One example of TriVision’s work is USDA RD’s history website landing page which not only involved web design consultation but also video editing services for the featured video, “The Story of Rural Development.” This video offers a compelling narrative of RD’s efforts to empower rural communities nationwide. In addition to multimedia production, TriVision’s speechwriters and media specialists regularly support USDA leadership for panel discussions and public speaking engagements.

Looking Ahead

TriVision’s ongoing collaboration with USDA RD has been highly successful, marked by regular weekly coordination and a shared commitment to excellence. This collaboration demonstrates TriVision’s ability to deliver innovative, results-driven multimedia solutions for government agencies, helping them communicate effectively with diverse audiences.

This partnership builds on TriVision’s longstanding history with USDA, which has included impactful projects for the USDA National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). One notable project for NRCS was a 10-minute documentary titled NRCS Indiana – Women in Farming highlighting the growing role of women farm owners and how more and more women are entering agriculture as new farmers.

TriVision looks forward to continuing its partnership with USDA RD to enhance their outreach efforts and further their mission to advance rural prosperity. Click to view full USDA RD case study.

SafePaaS introduces DataPaaS™ to orchestrate data streams from any source for secure data transformation and governance across the enterprise

Published

on

By

DALLAS, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SafePaaS, the leading Policy-based Active Governance platform, today released DataPaaS™, an advanced data management tool to improve data flow and governance across the organization.

In today´s complex IT landscapes, data transformation and governance of that data remain a key. Access and identity security is fragmented across legacy and cloud applications, leading to the misalignment of security data attributes. Identities have different levels of access in different systems, making effective access control agonizingly painful.

Data governance has always been at the core of the SafePaaS platform, which enables customers to discover hidden risks and deploy automated controls to monitor and prevent access policy violations, suspicious transactions, unauthorized data changes, and system misconfigurations.

DataPaaS™ helps customers unify data integration and governance to deliver trusted data. Customers can use self-service data source configuration and meta-object management capabilities to easily retrieve data snapshots from any source. Integrated mapping functionality ensures that data is immediately usable.

“Identity Lifecycle Management is a challenge for enterprise customers trying to manage Zero Trust security across multiple data sources,” says Hennie Vermeulen, CTO at SafePaaS. He adds, “DataPaaS™ now makes it possible for enterprise customers to easily create identity security data lakes using snapshots from multiple data sources to create a 360° view of identities.”

DataPaaS™ makes it easy to structure security data into a compatible format that can be housed in an identity data lake to effectively control and govern access. DataPaaS™ supports popular API standards to integrate with multiple data sources including REST, SOAP JDBC, and Flat File. Once data is staged in DataPaaS™, it can be transformed into a usable format that supports identity security and lifecycle management. The transformation process supports common use cases such as data consolidation, categorization, substitution, and integration. Data can be masked, scrambled, and encrypted down to the fine-grained attribute level for comprehensive data governance.

SafePaaS is the policy-based active governance platform that governs people, processes, and technology in a single platform. Built from the ground up, our organic, agile cloud platform helps organizations adopt effective governance and controls which are essential for overcoming obstacles and achieving business objectives. Policies sit at the center of our platform architecture delivering immediate value without the complexity of legacy governance solutions.
