CLEVELAND, Aug. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innovest Global Inc. (OTC Markets: IVST) (the “Company” or “Innovest”), a Conglomerate with operations in commercial and industrial products and services, and biotechnology, sold its most recent six-figure revenue contract last week, and notes that its Call Center is now generating double the baseline revenue it was generating just a few months ago, when it was acquired. The division is now pacing $4.5 million in annual revenue.

“Sally Emch, our President of Call Center Operations, has doubled the center’s baseline revenue since the acquisition, and the Shepherd team just closed another six figure sale at the end of last week,” said Dan Martin, CEO of Innovest. “The StemVax patent approval has been a recent focus of excitement, and our C&I Group is also really hitting stride. Working together well, closing big competitive sales, and excited to push through the quarter with momentum. The team is so excited at the support our shareholders have shown, and the enthusiasm is something I wish everyone could see.”

The Company maintains an unchanged free-trading float of 11,796,710 common shares with no convertible debts, no warrants or options outstanding. After several days of gains including a high of $.3175, the stock price pulled back 7.93% on Friday to close at $0.27, up 28.5% since the $0.21 open price last Monday, and up over 1,000% on the year.

The Innovest C&I Division is diligently refining organic growth strategies. “Innovest is in discussions with meaningful acquisition targets, but those transactions only work long-term if we can grow them and help them succeed – and so far I couldn’t be more impressed with Division President Damon Mintz, Sally Emch, Bill Oler, Dennis Giancola and the rest of our 40 people who are doing an incredible job right now,” said Mr. Martin. His comments are echoed by the Innovest mission statement, which is, “To operate our business responsibly on a daily basis to maximize shareholder value and be a source of strength to our companies, helping them reach their fullest potential.”

$CETX @Cemtrex Standing desks are a relatively recent invention that can do a lot for the health and well-being of your employees.

Technology shouldn’t “just work;” it should make life easier. Otherwise, what’s the point? And it’s this question that businesses often forget to ask themselves in regard to tech.

Too often, companies are slow to respond to changes in technology and the implications of this can be damaging. For one, outdated or cobbled together tech isn’t doing much to help staff members save time and effort; in fact, it could be harming their productivity. Even a small glitch in your system can interrupt workflow. And if it’s happening consistently throughout the day, just imagine how much time is lost.

For many companies, outdated technology is just the result of the business itself — you can get so focused on the day-to-day operations that you lose sight of the resources available to make things run that much smoother.

It can also be a case of not knowing what you don’t know. A small business, for instance, won’t necessarily have a dedicated IT department to keep tabs on advances in technology, so it doesn’t realize how old technology slows the business down and can cause the entire ship to fall behind, if not capsize.

This isn’t to say a business can’t exist without technology. There was certainly commerce before computers, mobile devices, or even the telephone, and productivity soared during the postwar era but we’re now seeing slower growth over the last decade, with productivity increasing just 1.2% each year.  

Now, this is not to imply that technology alone is the cause of this productivity loss. However, it’s important to remove any barriers that could be compounding the problem  and outdated tech is one of them.

How you go about updating your business is entirely up to you, but I suggest you start with the following:

1. Go paperless and declutter

Paper is time-consuming. Once printed, someone’s got to file it, then find it again when needed. And if you’re not in the office, there’s also the problem of access. Besides, going paperless can save a business a lot of money: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that an office cuts costs by as much as $80 a year for each employee when going paperless. That means that a company with 500 employees can save $40,000 per year, so just imagine how much larger businesses can save.

Paper isn't the only thing that can cause a cluttered workspace; device clutter can also make it difficult to work. With dozens of wires and devices like scanners and phone chargers strewn around a desk, it can be challenging to wade through it all and focus.

2. Ditch the phone

The phone is going the way of the fax — it’s just a piece of office equipment no longer necessary in the digital age. Instead, switch to Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP is a group of technologies that allows for voice, video, and, depending on the system, collaborative interactivity over Internet Protocol networks (i.e. the internet). Set it up on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices to route calls to every employee — even remote ones.

3. Add more screens

Sometimes, one screen isn’t enough, especially when you need to see two sets of data simultaneously. Imagine how much employees could get done with a dual-monitor setup. In fact, Wichita State University found it increases productivity by as much as 18% when compared to single screens — not to mention the fact that 91% of users prefer it. The dual-screen configuration is one more step to becoming a smart office.

4. Integrate standing desks

Gone are the days when employees need to be stationed in their cubicles all day long. Standing desks are a relatively recent invention that can do a lot for the health and well-being of your employees. Being sedentary too long can affect mood, brain health, blood sugar, posture, and more, which can reduce productivity and increase healthcare costs. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have all invested in desks that can be raised, giving employees the option to stand or sit while at work.

You expect a lot out of your employees, at least as far as productivity goes. But you should really ask yourself whether the environment is right to make that possible. After all, happier employees are more productive employees — sometimes to the tune of 12% more productive. If you devote some attention to the workplace itself, you establish a foundation for success.

$IVST Innovest Global (OTC Pink: IVST): signed agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center providing StemVax the exclusive worldwide rights to IP needed to commercialize brain tumor vaccine

CLEVELAND, Aug. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — StemVax Therapeutics, an Innovest Global Inc. (OTC Pink Current: IVST) (the “Company” or “Innovest”) holding, has been awarded an exclusive worldwide license agreement from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, for all of the intellectual property needed to commercialize the StemVax Glioblast brain tumor vaccine.

“The StemVax business model is a low cost, high output strategy of partnering with a major health organization to get the technology to market and start helping people,” said Dr. Dwain Morris-Irvin, President of Innovest’s Biotech Division, the StemVax Chief Science Officer, and co-author of the intellectual property. “This agreement, which was negotiated over a nine month period, is critical because we now has everything we need, and we have it all in house.”

Innovest announced the approved patent of the primary technology on July 25th, 2018. Now, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the organization that filed for that patent, has provided StemVax the exclusive, worldwide right to it and three other related Intellectual Properties subsequently filed for patent protection.

It’s progress, but it’s also just a little better than you might have thought possible,” said Dan Martin, CEO of Innovest Global. “When an organization like Cedars grants these types of rights, and Dr. Irvin’s peers and co-authors sign-off on the arrangement – these are monumental endorsements of him and StemVax. I’m honored to be a part of it, and excited that Innovest continues to engage with people and organizations that are world class.”
