SlickOR is announcing the newest version of its ATC Slot Optimizer. This cloud-based, FAA SWIM-certified, complete optimization solution sets a new standard in managing ATC programs.

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Today, SlickOR announces new and innovative optimization technology to help airlines manage passenger and crew delays due to air traffic and weather disruptions. Over 34% of airline delays are due to Air Traffic Control Initiatives, impacting over 263k flights per year, at an average of 43 minutes per flight (FAA data). In the fast-paced world of commercial aviation, managing the unpredictable nature of air traffic and weather disruptions is a herculean challenge for airlines. “Delays and cancellations are not just inconveniences and costs—they are complex problems that ripple through the intricate web of flight operations, affecting passengers, crew, and the entire flight ecosystem,” said Jim DeYoung, Airline Consultant and former VP of Operations at United Airlines. Jim added, “SlickOR’s newest version of ATC Slot Optimizer is truly state-of-the-art. It now affords airlines a complete end-to-end solution towards not only mitigating the impact of delays at the affected airport; it now models the effect to customers throughout an airline’s entire network–recommending options to reduce the ripple delays that inevitably lead to higher costs and customer disservice.”

At the core of SlickOR’s technology is the capability to process millions of data points in seconds, delivering optimized solutions that drastically reduce the total delay impact at the customer level and the number of canceled flights. The advanced ATC Slot optimizer, a standout in their suite, intelligently allocates limited flight slots while considering many factors such as passenger connections, crew itineraries, and flight and maintenance schedules.

This technology moves beyond the limitations of legacy systems, which often require manual aggregation of disparate data, to a future where decisions are data-driven and outcomes are optimized. The result is a seamless, efficient, and more predictable operational flow that benefits all stakeholders in the air travel process.

SlickOR’s solutions are a testament to what modern technology can achieve—transforming potential operational crises into manageable events, ensuring that every passenger’s journey is as smooth and reliable as possible.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
