Our purpose is to create amazing travel booking experiences by putting the Actual Intent in AI. Our promise is to bring TMCs and travelers closer together to enable delightful experiences with ultra-efficient outcomes for all. Travel Management Companies know all too well how technology promised to make the booking experience easy, but somehow wound up creating more pain and friction than ever. Exasperated agents wasting time scouring databases. Busy travelers waiting too long for itineraries, only to send them back in frustration. Over and over, around the clock, its a recipe for business process disaster. Even now, with the advent of Al not much has changed. Thats because the challenge was never how to simulate intelligence, but how to interpret human intent in context. Thats what sets Amgine apart. We are driven by a single purpose: to put the Actual Intent in Al, and elevate intelligence, to intuition. To hear the business traveler finally say, I am. I am heard, I am understood... thanks to this engine. The worlds first amgine.

Software is supposed to help you save time and simplify the processes, sometimes, though, the very tools that are meant to relieve stress can be a source of frustration and confusion.   We understand you.   Matter365 is a legal practice management solution that is fully integrated with Microsoft Office 365, so it hyper-integrates the applications you already know and depend on. It is a Cloud solution, so you wont need to download anything on your computer. Now you can track, bill and link all your work done on any of the Microsoft Office 365 suite applications (Word, Excel, Outlook, Calendar, One Drive etc.) and assign it to the corresponding matter. In addition to providing familiar user experience, Matter365’s integration with Microsoft Office 365 offers an ease of setup which is usually not seen on standalone platforms. The built-in Knowledge Base contains all the links and examples on how to navigate through the platform which will make the onboarding journey seamless. In addition, Matter365 has smart features such as conflict search, timer, reports, expenses and finances overview. Integration with accounting packages like QuickBooks Online and Gravity Legal will support you in generating bills and sending electronic invoices, as well as helping in more complicated processes like building trust accounts. At Matter365, all your data is securely stored on Microsoft’s Azure Cloud, meaning your client’s information is safeguarded by more than 3,500 global security experts.

Before launching Tidal, our experience as consultants in the migration sphere made one thing glaringly obvious: Too many enterprises don’t have the full picture of their applications and related technologies. Tidal was born six years ago to help enterprises make better decisions about cloud migration with data-driven insights. Since then, we’ve grown to become a cloud migration software platform that solves common problems in business case creation, application discovery, cloud readiness assessment, and migration planning throughout a customer's digital transformation journey. Tidal has enabled greater business agility and has saved hundreds of millions of dollars for organizations around the world across an array of industry verticals. We proudly support all the major cloud platforms and provide the confidence to make high-impact changes rapidly: + Save 97% in OpEx by porting legacy apps to cloud-native. + Reduce maintenance and licensing costs by up to 70% through a rigorous approach to decommissioning. + Improve your cloud architect assessment speed from 40 hours to 1 per app. To learn why companies like Optus, NYU, and the City of Peterborough choose Tidal for transformative migrations, visit us at tidalcloud.com
