Limassol, Cyprus – May 05, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Vaiz, a Cyprus-based work management platform, is growing its user base with a product principle most competitors ignore: zero employee surveillance. The platform has no keystroke logging, no screenshot capture, no mouse tracking, and no automatic activity monitoring. It is a deliberate product decision, not a missing feature. Vaiz combines tasks, documents, and team collaboration in one workspace — without any form of employee activity tracking. The announcement comes as workplace monitoring faces renewed criticism. In April 2026, a major technology company began installing software on employee computers to record keystrokes, mouse movements, and screen activity to train AI models. The decision triggered immediate employee backlash and public debate about the limits of employer surveillance. A growing number of teams are now looking for tools that help them coordinate work without tracking how people spend every minute. Why no-surveillance work management matters now Employee monitoring software has grown from a niche practice to a global norm. Adoption rose from 30 percent before the pandemic to 60 percent by 2022. In 2026, the EU AI Act classifies workplace AI monitoring as high-risk and restricts practices such as emotion recognition in employment, with penalties up to 35 million euros or 7 percent of global revenue. Research shows that 31 percent of monitored employees feel micromanaged, and 23 percent report a sense of constant surveillance. For small and mid-sized teams that depend on trust and speed, surveillance tools often cause more harm than the problems they claim to solve. Vaiz was designed for these teams. The platform does not include any automatic activity tracking, screen recording, or behavioural monitoring. What Vaiz offers instead of surveillance Vaiz is a unified work management platform that brings tasks, documents, files, and team discussions into a single workspace. Rather than tracking employee behaviour, the platform makes work visible through structure: task boards, project timelines, milestones, and shared documents that give everyone context without oversight software. The platform connects to over 2,000 applications through Zapier and offers native integrations with Slack, GitHub, and GitLab. Embedded tools include Figma, Miro, YouTube, Vimeo, Swagger, and GraphQL editors. A built-in AI assistant turns goals into task breakdowns, generates project plans, summarises discussions into action items, and improves document clarity. A native MCP server connects Vaiz to AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, and three public SDKs let developers extend the platform. The full list is available on the integrations page. Vaiz co-founder Konstantin Cherkasov explained the company’s position: “We build tools that help teams coordinate their work, not tools that watch people. If a platform needs to capture your screen to know whether you are productive, the problem is not the employee — it is the platform.” Switching and pricing Vaiz’s Migration Center supports one-click imports from Jira, Asana, Trello, YouTrack, Notion, Linear, Monday, ClickUp, and Wrike. Pricing starts with a forever free plan for up to 10 users, no credit card required. The Pro plan costs five US dollars per user per month, and the Premium plan costs nine US dollars per user per month. An Enterprise edition with on-premises deployment is available for organisations with data residency requirements. A 30-day free trial covers all paid plans, and startups qualify for a 50 percent discount. Development pace Vaiz today releases version 2.84, which introduces calendar integration. Since September 2025, this is the tenth numbered release. The team has recently moved to a two-week release cycle, accelerating from the previous pace of roughly one major update every three weeks. Earlier releases in 2026 delivered an improved UI, Slack integration, Cursor IDE support, and an iOS app with full desktop parity. The public product roadmap is available on the website. The company’s focus is building a connected workspace where teams can plan, execute, and communicate in one place — without tools that treat employees as subjects of observation. More information is available at vaiz.com. About Vaiz Vaiz Ltd was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus. The company operates a cloud-based work management platform that combines task boards, documents, and automation in one workspace. Vaiz is used by cross-functional teams at startups, product companies, game studios, agencies, and growing businesses.

Moscow, Russia – May 01, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – The 2nd Open Dialogue “The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth” took place in Russia, bringing together experts and young researchers from more than 40 countries who proposed ideas on the development of the economy, technology, education, and the environment. The key unifying principle of the event was a focus on people, international cooperation, and the search for new models of global growth through dialogue and the practical implementation of ideas. The large-scale three-day program at the Russia National Centre has concluded, combining expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from around the world, and informal communication with experts. According to the official remarks, the Open Dialogue has achieved a global footprint that covers the entire planet. “Experts, business leaders, and researchers from 120 countries took part in the essay and creative works competition, including representatives from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, North and South America. All authors and researchers, with diverse experiences and perspectives, were united by a strong and bold idea: to form a shared understanding of the future — the future of a world entering an era of profound structural change. It is evident that no country can develop in isolation, at the expense of other states or to their detriment. Furthermore, modern global challenges require a joint response and collective efforts. This means that the model of global development will be sustainable and fair only if it is based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and takes into account the interests of all countries,” the honorary guest of the event stated. According to the Russian leader, a multipolar architecture of global development is being formed before our eyes. Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty. The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: “Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries’ markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together.” Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life. At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: “Investing in People,” “Investing in Connectivity,” “Investing in Technology,” and “Investing in the Environment.” The winner in the “Investing in Technology” track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space. Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the “Investing in Connectivity” track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control. In the “Investing in the Environment” track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country’s real wealth. The winner of the “Investing in People” track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia. In his speech, he noted that for real convergence among countries of the Global South, not only declarations of multipolarity are needed, but also practical changes in key systems of interaction — primarily in education, which directly affects opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange. The future should be built around the individual, their health, agency, and a long, meaningful life, rather than around technologies and outdated systems, believes Dr. Selina Neri, co-founder, CEO, and dean of Future Readiness Academy (UAE), and an expert of the 2nd Open Dialogue in the “Investing in People” track. According to her, this requires new approaches to education, work, and technology development that focus on human flourishing, sovereignty, and the practical implementation of ideas rather than copying ineffective models. More than 1,600 authors from all continents submitted their works to participate in the 2nd Open Dialogue. Seventy-five essay authors hold academic degrees. The conclusions drawn from the discussions will be reviewed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and will be reflected in its business program. Essayists and experts will also be engaged in activities within the BRICS platform and involved in preparations for the Russia–Africa Summit.

Mahe, Seychelles – April 30, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Excent Capital, the global multi-asset trading platform that builds and owns its technology, announces a major update to its platform. The release introduces a redesigned chart, new tools, drawing instruments, on-chart position management, and improved MAM capabilities. Built Different, Delivered Faster In an industry where most brokers rely on white-label solutions and third-party platforms, Excent Capital has taken a different path. The company develops its platform internally, maintaining direct control over performance, execution quality, and product evolution. That structure allows the team to move faster, releasing features frequently, responding directly to partner feedback, and refining the trading experience. This update reflects that approach in practice. A Smarter, More Capable Chart The redesigned layout introduces a new side toolbar with streamlined access to Fibonacci tools, drawing instruments, and zoom controls. Navigation has also been refined, with gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, drag movement, and vertical swipe to adjust candle height, allowing traders to move through price action with greater precision. New drawing tools have been integrated directly into the chart, including circles for marking key zones, trend lines across price action, text labels, and a date/price range tool that measures movement across both time and price. A five-wave pattern tool has also been added, enabling traders to map Elliott Wave structures more efficiently. The Fibonacci retracement tool has been updated with improved precision and expanded visual customisation across both desktop and mobile. Positions Managed Directly on the Chart Open positions are now displayed directly on the chart at their entry price, with profit and loss, lot size, and spread cost visible in real time. From the same view, traders can set Take Profit and Stop Loss levels or close positions without navigating away. The result is a more integrated workflow, where analysis and execution coexist within a single interface. A Consolidated Mobile Portfolio View Mobile users now have access to a unified Portfolio view, bringing positions and orders into a single dedicated space. Orders are organised by status, with count indicators and collapsible groupings, while the full account history remains easily accessible. The update aligns the mobile experience more closely with the desktop environment, reducing friction between devices. Expanded MAM Capabilities Excent Capital’s MAM Account is designed for synchronised execution across all linked Echo accounts. With this update, users gain access to a full position breakdown for each master trade, including detailed metrics, linked sub-positions, and direct actions such as closing or hedging from a single panel. Echo Finance has also been integrated into a dedicated Dashboard section, where users can monitor aggregated transactions, review linked positions, and access detailed information for each connected account. Made For Traders, By Traders Behind the platform is a dedicated support team with direct knowledge of the product. The proximity between development and support allows for faster resolution, clearer communication, and continuous iteration based on real user interaction. Traders operate across FX, equities, indices, commodities, cryptos and ETFs within a single environment designed for consistency and reliability.

AUCKLAND, NZ – April 24, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Edgar Sterling Partners, a premier institutional-grade advisory firm, today announced the launch of its 2026 “Fast Track” initiative for the New Zealand Active Investor Plus (AIP) residency programme. As global investors increasingly seek stability and efficiency, New Zealand has emerged as the preferred destination for high-net-worth families. The 33-Day Residency Revolution In a significant shift for the investment migration landscape, 2026 data reveals that well-prepared applications for the New Zealand AIP programme are currently averaging an “Approval in Principle” (AIP) timeframe of just 33 working days. This speed, combined with the fact that New Zealand does not require an English language test for the Active Investor Plus visa in 2026, has created a unique window of opportunity for families looking for global mobility without the traditional bureaucratic hurdles. Institutional-Grade Strategy for Global Families Edgar Sterling Partners specializes in bridging the gap between international wealth and New Zealand’s disciplined regulatory framework. The firm offers two distinct, portfolio-driven pathways: The Growth Alpha Portfolio: A NZD $5 million investment with a 3-year term and a minimal 21-day physical presence requirement. This strategy focuses on high-growth sectors including Future Tech, AI, and Renewable Energy. The Balanced Anchor Portfolio: A NZD $10 million investment with a 5-year term. This pathway prioritizes wealth preservation through the NZX 50 and offers the immediate “Lifestyle Perk” of eligibility to apply for residential property purchase consent for homes valued over NZD $5 million. A Commitment to Transparency “We act as the insurance policy for our clients’ government investments,” says Steve Jones, a Director of Edgar Sterling Partners. “By operating a strict ‘Fee-Only’ model, we ensure our interests are 100% aligned with the security of our clients’ capital and the success of their residency”. Edgar Sterling’s proprietary “Unbroken Chain” forensic audit process ensures that Source of Wealth (SOW) and Source of Funds (SOF) documentation meets the highest standards of Immigration New Zealand, significantly reducing the risk of processing delays. About Edgar Sterling Partners Edgar Sterling Partners provides integrated wealth structuring, portfolio design, and residency coordination from its headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand. The firm serves globally mobile families across the United States, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, ensuring that New Zealand residency allocations align with global asset objectives and family succession goals.
