WOKING, England, Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Strategic Imperatives, the UK’s leading provider of SaaS provisioning, connectivity, and monetisation solutions for the telecom industry, has today announced the launch of Elevate for ISPs to enable progressive wholesale and retail ISPs to unlock revenue and drive growth in an increasingly competitive market.

Building on the success of Elevate, Strategic Imperatives’ flagship billing and subscriptions platform which is already utilised by leading ISPs including AllPoints Fibre, Giganet, Zen and Community Fibre, Elevate for ISPs has been purpose-built to serve the needs of wholesale and retail ISPs. By automating the way ISPs manage traditionally complex pricing structures and contracts, Elevate for ISPs transforms the way ISPs acquire, retain and monetise their customers through a single integrated and automated platform.

Strategic Imperatives has a long and proven track record of supporting leading ISPs with innovative software solutions. Well known for developing The Fibre Café, which has become the leading solution in the market for ISPs to access wholesale networks, Strategic Imperatives has helped eliminate complexity and cost for telecom operators and ISPs.

“Today’s ISP is operating in a rapidly evolving environment,” commented Wail Sabbagh, managing director at Strategic Imperatives. “To keep up with customer expectations, ISPs must embrace the critical importance of effective billing to acquire, retain and monetise their customers. This requires taking a proactive approach to billing and subscriptions, putting it at the forefront of their growth strategies. This is why we have launched Elevate for ISPs – to help ISPs shed legacy practices in their monetisation strategy and help them embrace innovation in order to unlock competitive advantage.”

For over 20 years, Strategic Imperatives has utilised cutting-edge software to empower modern telcos, ISPs, and MSPs to streamline billing, unlock revenue, and drive growth. Built by a team of experts with the progressive wholesale and retail ISP in mind, Elevate for ISPs provides the industry’s most scalable, reliable and future-proofed billing and monetisation platform. Automation enables customers to manage complex pricing structures, streamline contract and product management, improve navigation and usability with an intuitive UI, and ensure One Touch Switching compliance, designed for both wholesale and retail ISPs.

“In-keeping with a constantly changing market, the solutions Strategic Imperatives provides to our ambitious customers must innovate even quicker, applying our knowledge and experience to accurately predict what the market will need for the transformative years to come,” continued Sabbagh. “We are proud to launch Elevate for ISPs to serve the end-to-end monetisation needs of modern-day ISPs, and look forward to working with our new and existing customers to help them achieve their growth objectives.”

Elevate for ISPs enables wholesale and retail ISPs to take control of their monetisation strategies, helping them streamline subscriptions, control usage-based bills, track payments and transactions, and reduce billing errors. Customers can confidently integrate billing with other critical systems including CRM, network management and provisioning systems, bringing synergy to data integration to reduce data input errors and ensure timely billing.

For ultimate payment confidence and security, Direct Debit integration through Strategic Imperatives’ partnership with GoCardless means ISPs can verify new customer bank details instantly, preventing fraud and offering peace of mind. To reduce payment failures, Elevate for ISPs facilitates one-off payment collections directly from a customer’s bank account.

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.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

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.
