Rocket Alumni Solutions Launches Easy Submit for Content Updates by Email or Text

Published

on

BOSTON, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rocket Alumni Solutions creates an interactive recognition platform that helps more than 1,500 schools and organizations celebrate achievements and preserve their histories. Easy Submit is its newest way for authorized contributors to send content updates and photos for their Rocket sites. The feature is available only to existing Rocket customers and is included with their Rocket subscription.

Historical material rarely arrives in a neat, upload-ready package. It surfaces throughout the year, wherever people happen to find it, but organizing everything for the CMS often falls to one administrator. Easy Submit lets authorized contributors email or text material to Rocket Alumni Solutions as soon as they find it, wherever they are and in the format they already have.

Key Benefits of Easy Submit

Included With Your Rocket Subscription: Easy Submit is available to existing Rocket customers as part of their current subscription.Work From Familiar Channels: Customers can email or register a phone number in the Rocket Customer Portal and send requests by text.Send Photos With the Request: Files and photos can be attached directly to the email or text conversation, so the Data Entry team receives the material alongside the instructions.Automatic Site Matching: Easy Submit uses the authorized email account or registered phone number to connect a request to the right Rocket site. If a customer manages more than one site, the system asks for a site name or number before creating the request.One Continuous Conversation: Additional details from the customer and replies from the Data Entry team remain in the same email or text thread, reducing duplicated explanations and lost context.Clear Completion Updates: Customers receive confirmation when a request is received and another message when the work is complete.Send a Google Drive Link: Include a Google Drive link in an email or text message.

Why Customers Choose Easy Submit

Easy Submit is built for the way content actually surfaces across schools and organizations. A coach may have a team photo on a phone, while an association staff member may uncover an old program in storage. A project manager may receive an updated record by email while away from the CMS. Each person can send what they have from the channel that is already open.

Every request is routed into Rocket’s existing Data Entry workflow with the sender, site, message, and attachments kept together. Authorized contributors can add context by replying, and Rocket’s team can respond in the same thread. Customers spend less time moving information between systems, while the people completing the work receive a cleaner, more complete request.

Rocket built Easy Submit because the stories that create pride and belonging are often held by many people, and preserving them should not depend on one administrator having time to re-enter every photo and memory. What makes Rocket the best fit in the recognition space is that the entire platform is built around this work: customers get purpose-built recognition technology backed by a dedicated Data Entry team, with a direct path from the people who find a story to the people who bring it online. Easy Submit extends that experience into the channels schools and organizations already use, so they can recognize more people without adding another process to manage.

Access is tied to a customer’s Rocket Alumni Solutions account. Direct email requests are matched through authorized email addresses, and SMS submissions require phone registration and consent in the Customer Portal. That keeps the convenience of email and text connected to the correct Rocket site.

How Does Easy Submit Work?

Start the Request: Email Rocket Alumni Solutions from an authorized address, or text the Rocket number after registering a phone in the Customer Portal.Name the Site: Customers who manage several Rocket sites can include the school or organization name. If the destination is unclear, Easy Submit sends a short site-selection prompt.Describe the Update: Explain what should be added or changed and attach any relevant photos or files. More material can be sent by replying to the same conversation.Stay In the Thread: The Data Entry team can ask questions through the same email or text exchange, and Easy Submit sends a final message when the request is completed.

Easy Submit works alongside the Rocket Customer Portal rather than replacing it. Customers can still use the portal’s Data Entry request form when they prefer a structured intake experience. Email and SMS provide a quicker option for updates that begin with a message or a photo. Current customers can click here to begin using Easy Submit today.

Mitrade Taps Former Pit Trader and Brokerage CEO Christopher Brankin as Global Markets Advisor

Published

on

By

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Award-winning CFD broker Mitrade has engaged Christopher Brankin as Global Markets Advisor. A markets commentator featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, and Reuters, Brankin was the founding CEO of TD Ameritrade Singapore and later headed regional expansion for a CFD brokerage.

The appointment comes as global events continue driving European market conditions. In September alone, the ECB raised rates citing the Middle East supply disruptions, the euro fell 0.5% after the Fed followed suit, and Europe’s gas benchmark held above twice pre-war levels as Hormuz LNG flows slumped.

Having worked both the trading floor and the helm of major brokerages, Brankin brings over three decades of market experience. Starting in Chicago’s open-outcry futures pits in 1995, he ran a proprietary trading desk and oversaw execution and clearing at thinkorswim before building and leading regulated firms across Asia, navigating cycles from the 2008 financial crisis to 2020 market volatility.

“2026 has put European traders through a war-driven energy shock and back-to-back rate rises. Europe now imports its volatility, and traders who understand its source see the market differently. Mitrade shares my belief in financial literacy, and I look forward to adding my perspective through the platforms I have,” said Christopher Brankin, Global Markets Advisor, Mitrade Group.

In this role, Brankin will contribute institutional analysis, market commentaries, and educational insights on global market developments for Mitrade.

BORICA and OpenWay Win PAY360 Award for Bulgaria’s Euro Payments Transformation

Published

The Best Partnership Initiative award recognizes BORICA and OpenWay for their contribution to Bulgaria’s payments transformation and successful euro transition.

LONDON, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BORICA AD and OpenWay have won the Best Partnership Initiative Award at the PAY360 Awards 2026 for their work together on Bulgaria’s payment infrastructure and the country’s successful transition to the euro.

The award recognizes the impact of a long-term partnership focused on a challenge where there was no room for disruption: transforming critical national payment infrastructure while ensuring that everyday card payments and ATM services continued from the first minute of euro adoption.

Since 2018, BORICA and OpenWay have worked together to modernize Bulgaria’s card processing infrastructure, combining BORICA’s expertise in national payment services and ecosystem coordination with OpenWay’s Way4 real-time digital payment software platform and payment technology expertise.

What set the initiative apart was its scale, continuity and practical impact. The partnership was developed over years of modernization and then tested under exceptional live conditions when Bulgaria adopted the euro on 1 January 2026.

The euro programme brought together more than 35 banks, payment service providers, fintechs, government institutions and technology partners. BORICA and OpenWay worked closely to prepare and execute the card processing transformation, with extensive testing, rehearsals and operational coordination before the cutover.

The results came almost immediately after midnight. The first successful euro ATM withdrawal was completed just 20 seconds into the new currency environment. Within the first 48 hours, more than 930,000 card and ATM transactions worth nearly €42 million were processed with zero unplanned downtime.

Miroslav Vichev, CEO of BORICA AD, said:
“Our shared objective went beyond a successful technology transition. We wanted to ensure that a transformation of this scale could happen without disrupting the everyday payment experience. That required years of preparation, disciplined execution and trust between our teams and across the wider ecosystem.”

Pavel Gubin, CEO of OpenWay Group, said:
“What makes this achievement distinctive is not technology or scale alone, but what BORICA and OpenWay were able to accomplish together. We have spent years building a payment environment designed to evolve without compromising continuity. Euro adoption put that approach to the ultimate real world test, and the results speak for themselves.”
