NEW YORK, March 28, 2025 /CNW/ – Boardwalktech Software Corp. (“Boardwalktech”) (TSXV: BWLK) (OTCQB: BWLKF), a leading Information Intelligence software company, announced a partnership with Trillium Digital Services to further advance the Boardwalk Platform and Trillium’s solutions with a focus on supply chain solutions. The companies detailed their collaboration at last week’s ISG Xperience Summit in New York, a two-day event for industry leaders to explore AI-powered experience transformation strategies.

“The collaboration between Trillium and Boardwalktech represents exactly what today’s enterprises need: solutions that bridge the gap between legacy systems and cutting-edge innovations,” said Michael Ciatto, a recently announced Managing Partner of Trillium Digital Services. “Our clients are increasingly recognizing that digital thread capabilities are not just nice-to-have features but essential building blocks for self-driving supply chains. This partnership enhances our ability to deliver technologies that improve employee experiences while driving measurable business outcomes.”

Mr. Ciatto noted that Trillium’s clients have responded positively to Boardwalktech’s approach, particularly in industries dealing with complex supply chains and regulatory requirements where maintaining digital provenance is critical.

“What’s particularly exciting about this partnership is how it aligns with our mission to build today’s business with tomorrow’s technologies,” Mr. Ciatto added. “By providing solutions that acknowledge the reality of how work actually flows through organizations, we’re helping clients create more resilient, adaptive operations while improving the employee experience.”

Andrew T. Duncan, Chief Executive Officer of Boardwalktech, emphasized the mutual benefits of the partnership: “Working with Trillium Digital Services has been instrumental in accelerating our market penetration across diverse industries. Their domain expertise has helped us refine Unity Central through an increased voice of customer interactions and real-world applications. This collaboration has allowed us to adapt our platform to address specific industry challenges while maintaining the core capabilities that make our digital ledger technology unique.”

Other Highlights for Partners at ISG Xperience Summit

Boardwalktech:

The ISG Xperience Summit event served as a platform for Boardwalktech to showcase Unity Central, its recent product development that enables organizations to combine documents and create a digital chain of custody across disparate enterprise information systems. This approach provides a comprehensive digital thread and audit trail of information movement, addressing a critical gap in enterprise technology ecosystems and provides a higher order of operational data while the immutability of the time-stamped digital threads reduced hallucinations for use in AI and Agentic AI driven solutions.

Boardwalktech’s digital ledger platform has found traction among Fortune 500 companies, across food manufacturing, technology, telecommunications, and consumer product sectors as these enterprises utilize Boardwalktech’s solutions. Boardwalktech’s unique method of managing vast amounts of structured and unstructured data enables multiple parties to effectively work on the same data simultaneously while preserving fidelity and provenance.

The ISG Xperience Summit also featured a standout presentation by Deborah Dull, Managing Partner at Trillium Digital Services, titled “Breaking the Rules: How Self-Driving Processes Are Rewriting Technology Implementation.” Ms. Dull’s session explored how agentic workforces are transforming both employee and customer experiences while accelerating business growth.

“Today’s digital landscape demands solutions that acknowledge work happens outside formal systems,” said Ms. Dull. “The most successful organizations are those building technology strategies that embrace the digital spaces in between, creating seamless experiences for both employees and customers.”

FORT MYERS, Fla., April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) secured an impressive seven awards at the 2025 Edison Awards™ with its cutting-edge technological innovations. Out of 140 winners, ITRI garnered three golds, three silvers, and one bronze, holding the highest total by an Asia-based organization this year. This also marks the highest number of wins by the Institute in a single year and extends its winning streak at the Edison Awards™ to nine consecutive years, placing it alongside industry giants like Dow and DuPont.

“ITRI, in a lot of ways, is so consistent in innovating and bringing new products to market. You continue to create to make people’s lives better. You’re very good about looking at recyclability and breaking down different solutions that ultimately allow for new products to be made. The fact that you’ve got seven winners this year is a testament to your hard work.” said Frank Bonafilia, Executive Director of the Edison Awards. He also noted that he was impressed by ITRI’s innovations such as NaPoGlass, which filters wastewater using recycled LCD glass; the Dual-Phase Hydrogel, which speeds up post-surgical healing; and the Adaptive Cold Energy Management System, which cuts refrigeration energy use by up to 20%.

“We are proud to announce ITRI’s remarkable achievement at the Edison Awards this year, securing seven out of Taiwan’s 18 awards,” stated ITRI President Edwin Liu. “Our winning technologies span three critical sectors: AI, sustainability, and biomedical technology. In AI, we have cybersecurity gatekeeper Janus, EV fleet charging solution Fleetchargo, Smart Aqua Leak Finder, and Adaptive Cold Energy Management System. In sustainability, our NaPoGlass removes heavy metal from wastewater, and Low-Carbon Laser H-Beam Welding optimizes construction material production. In biomedical innovation, Dual-Phase Hydrogel accelerates post-surgical recovery. We are proud to see these advancements enter the market, underscoring our commitment to driving commercialization,” he added.

ITRI’s Winning Innovations:

Gold Winners

The Smart Aqua Leak Finder is a portable device that utilizes AI-driven acoustic technology and GPS mapping to detect underground pipe water leaks in three seconds with 98% accuracy. By minimizing repair time and water loss, it offers an innovative solution to overcome global water scarcity.

NaPoGlass is a nanoporous composite made from waste LCD glass. It can adsorb metal ions and filters wastewater without leaving metal sediment. This innovation enables water recycling, and after multiple uses, it can be repurposed into products such as humidity-regulating tiles, deodorizing insoles, and antibacterial keyboards.

The Dual-Phase Hydrogel is an injectable biomaterial that coagulates at body temperature, preventing post-operative adhesions and enabling accelerated cell growth to facilitate faster recovery. Its unique gel formation extends the therapeutic effects of wound-healing factors for up to 30 days, significantly outperforming traditional hydrogels that are quickly broken down by the body.

Silver Winners

Janus: AI-Driven Cybersecurity Gatekeeper is on-site AI automation solution that protects enterprises from cyberattacks, reducing costs and assess security risks without IT specialists. Leveraging patented technology, Janus translates complex network logs into clear, actionable behavioral rules, continuously refining them in real time and safeguarding against evolving threats.

It reduces grid load by 50%, extends battery life by 20%, boosts e-bus fleet operation efficiency, prevents charging accidents, and supports urban electrification and sustainability.

ITRI and Taiwan Mask Corporation’s Low-Carbon Laser H-Beam Welding revolutionizes the manufacture of steel structures for the building industry by achieving full penetration welds, energy-saving and lower CO2 emissions. Through digital twins, intelligent weld-path tracking, precision positioning and auto-loading and -unloading, it reduces labor needs, shortens lead times, and eliminates post-treatment, increasing production capacity of H-beams fivefold at a third of the cost.

Bronze Winner

The Adaptive Cold Energy Management System optimizes energy use in commercial sites like wholesale stores and supermarkets. By leveraging deep reinforcement learning (DRL), it adapts to environmental conditions to enhance energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption by 15% to 20%. The system also helps stabilize the power grid by adjusting refrigeration equipment power and enabling pre-cooling during demand response events.
