AC Grad Deep Trekker instrumental in remote fish farm installation

AgriMarine Technologies Inc. (ATI) is completing the installation of its proprietary tank technology for fish farming in a remote lake on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. The four (4) semi-closed containment, 3,000 cubic meter tanks are designed to float in water bodies, and manage the rearing environment for thousands of fish. The tanks are designed to draw cooler water from greater depths to circulate within the tank, while added oxygen optimizes the environment for the farmed fish. The installation of these massive structures is not only challenging from a logistical but also operational perspective.  The Deep Trekker DTG2 Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) has been used to alleviate many of the difficulties of quickly and reliability performing underwater inspections.

The Deep Trekker DTG2 ROV was the obvious choice for ATI as a robust and maneuverable ROV that was an affordable solution. The DTG2 ROV could easily be transported to any of the tank docks anddeployed within seconds. “We had the foresight to purchase the Deep Trekker Remotely Operated Vehicle, and we have utilized the Deep Trekker DTG2 ROV for a variety of functions that enabled us to reduce the costs associated with divers.” Remarked Robert Walker, President of ATI.

AC Grad NetSuite TribeHR builds workforce with Vidyard

Vidyard, the fast-growing provider of a leading video marketing and analytics technology platform, has deployed NetSuite’s TribeHR human capital management (HCM) suite to streamline human resources processes and enhance its collaborative work environment.

Since going live, Vidyard has relied on NetSuite TribeHR to manage human resources, recruitment, employee recognition, staff directory, and events calendar – all within one single end-to-end employee management and social collaboration HCM suite. As a result, Vidyard has improved staff productivity and morale, as well as improved the efficiency of both HR professionals and the workforce.

Before TribeHR, the company relied on manual processes, email and verbal communication for HR and employee management. As it grew, Vidyard, named as a “Company to Watch” in the 2013 Deloitte Fast 50 awards for Canadian technology companies, saw the need to formalize its HR processes. It began looking for a purpose-built HCM solution that would help improve HR department efficiency while making the most of its personnel, who design and deliver video marketing solutions for companies such as Rockwell Automation, inContact and Taulia.

Too often, fast-growing and midsized businesses must tie together disparate systems to get a full understanding of their human resources from recruit to manage to reward. NetSuite TribeHR provides a complete end-to-end HCM suite, offering the first truly social HR platform with a superior user experience, driving employee engagement and retention.
