Das Unternehmen wird unter dem Namen seiner Flaggschiff-Plattform vereinheitlicht und vollzieht damit den nächsten Schritt auf dem Weg zur Bereitstellung vorausschauender, umsetzungsreifer Informationen sowie unternehmensübergreifender Koordinationsfunktionen.

MONTREAL, 31. August 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS), ein weltweit tätiges Unternehmen für maritime Informationsdienste, gab heute bekannt, dass es sich in OCIANA® umbenennt und das Unternehmen unter dem Namen seiner führenden Plattform für maritime Informationsdienste zusammenfasst.

„Diese Veränderung läutet ein neues Kapitel für das Unternehmen ein, in dem wir uns durch die Ergebnisse auszeichnen, die durch maritime Daten ermöglicht werden", sagte Richard Kolacz, Vorstandsvorsitzender von OCIANA®. „Anstatt lediglich Informationen zur Lage im maritimen Bereich bereitzustellen, liefern wir aussagekräftige maritime Erkenntnisse."

Das Wesentliche im Blick behalten

GSTS entstand aus langjähriger Erfahrung im Bereich der satellitengestützten Meeresüberwachung. Seitdem hat sich das Unternehmen weit über die Erfassung und Zusammenführung von maritimen Daten hinaus weiterentwickelt. Die Flaggschiff-Plattform OCIANA® bietet nun Dual-Use-Funktionen für zwei Kernmärkte.

Für Verteidigungs- und Sicherheitsorganisationen bietet OCIANA® eine prädiktive Ebene für maritime Aufklärung, die Sensordaten, historische Muster und Echtzeitdaten miteinander verknüpft, sodass Behörden Verhaltensweisen identifizieren können, die eine Untersuchung rechtfertigen, Bedrohungen früher erkennen, Absichten schneller einschätzen und über See-, Luft- und Nachrichtendienste hinweg sicher handeln können.

Für Unternehmen der maritimen Lieferkette ergänzt OCIANA® bestehende Hafen- und Reiseverwaltungssysteme durch Echtzeitdaten, vorausschauende Analysen und intelligente Koordination. Durch die Abstimmung der Schiffsgeschwindigkeit auf die Hafenbereitschaft, die Vorhersage von Ankunftszeiten und die frühzeitige Erkennung von Engpässen, bevor diese zu Verzögerungen führen, trägt OCIANA® dazu bei, dass Häfen schneller arbeiten, Emissionen reduzieren und widerstandsfähiger agieren können.

„OCIANA® hilft Unternehmen dabei, zu verstehen, was als Nächstes passieren wird und wie sie darauf reagieren sollen", sagte Kolacz.

Neue Funktionen

Mit Blick auf die Zukunft wird OCIANA® seine KI-gestützten Fähigkeiten im Bereich der maritimen Informationsgewinnung weiter ausbauen – durch eine umfassendere Multisensor-Fusion, bewährte Arbeitsabläufe bei der Informationsgewinnung und eine verbesserte Zusammenarbeit zwischen Behörden und verbündeten Partnern. Zukünftige Funktionen werden den Betreibern helfen, schneller von der Erkennung zu koordinierten Maßnahmen überzugehen und gleichzeitig für mehr Transparenz, Nachvollziehbarkeit und Vertrauen in die KI-gestützte Entscheidungsfindung sorgen.

Das Unternehmen plant außerdem, das vernetzte maritime Ökosystem von OCIANA® für Lieferkettenorganisationen weiter auszubauen und so eine gemeinsame Echtzeit-Übersicht für Häfen, Reedereien und Lotsenbehörden bereitzustellen – anstelle der bisherigen Koordination per Telefon, E-Mail und in Papierform.

OCIANA® lässt sich in die bereits von diesen Organisationen genutzten Systeme integrieren, anstatt diese zu ersetzen, und bietet dadurch eine präzisere Liegeplatzplanung, eine schnellere Buchung und Anforderung von Lotsen, zuverlässige Benachrichtigungen vor der Ankunft, koordinierte Reisepläne sowie konsistente Just-in-Time-Ankünfte.

Was ändert sich?

Ab sofort leitet GSTS.ca auf die neue Website des Unternehmens, OCIANA.com, weiter. Alle Produkte, Dienstleistungen und Kontaktmöglichkeiten bleiben unverändert – lediglich der Firmenname und das Markenauftritt werden angepasst, um der Plattform gerecht zu werden, die die Kunden bereits kennen und der sie vertrauen.

L'entreprise s'unifie sous le nom de sa plateforme phare alors qu'elle franchit une nouvelle étape vers la prestation de renseignements prédictifs prêts à l'action et de capacités de coordination interorganisationnelle.

MONTRÉAL, 31 août 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS), une entreprise mondiale de renseignement maritime, a annoncé aujourd'hui qu'elle devient OCIANA®, réunissant ainsi l'entreprise sous le nom de sa plateforme phare de renseignement maritime.

« Ce changement marque un nouveau chapitre pour l'entreprise, où nous nous définissons par les résultats que permettent les données maritimes », a déclaré Richard Kolacz, directeur général d'OCIANA®. « Plutôt que de simplement fournir une connaissance du domaine maritime, nous fournissons de puissants renseignements maritimes. »

Se concentrer sur ce qui compte

GSTS est née d'une vaste expérience en surveillance maritime par satellite. Depuis, l'entreprise a largement dépassé la simple collecte et l'intégration de données maritimes. Sa plateforme phare, OCIANA®, offre désormais des capacités à double usage dans deux marchés principaux.

Pour les organisations de défense et de sécurité, OCIANA® fournit une couche de renseignement maritime prédictif qui fusionne les données de capteurs, les tendances historiques et les données en temps réel afin de permettre aux organismes de repérer les comportements qui justifient une enquête, de détecter les menaces plus tôt, d'interpréter plus rapidement les intentions et d'agir avec confiance dans l'ensemble des unités maritimes, aériennes et de renseignement.

Pour les organisations de la chaîne d'approvisionnement maritime, OCIANA® enrichit les systèmes existants de gestion des ports et des voyages grâce à des données en temps réel, des renseignements prédictifs et une coordination intelligente. En synchronisant la vitesse des navires avec l'état de préparation des ports, en prévoyant les arrivées et en détectant les problèmes de congestion avant qu'ils n'entraînent des retards, OCIANA® aide les ports à accélérer leurs opérations, à réduire leurs émissions et à accroître leur résilience.

« OCIANA® aide les organisations à comprendre ce qui va se produire ensuite et à déterminer les mesures à prendre en conséquence », a déclaré Kolacz.

Nouvelles capacités

À l'avenir, OCIANA® continuera d'élargir ses capacités de renseignement maritime fondées sur l'IA grâce à une fusion multicapteurs plus poussée, à des flux de travail de renseignement fiables et à une collaboration accrue entre les organismes et les partenaires alliés. Les futures capacités aideront les opérateurs à passer plus rapidement de la détection à une action coordonnée, tout en offrant davantage de transparence et d'explicabilité ainsi qu'une plus grande confiance dans la prise de décision assistée par l'IA.

L'entreprise prévoit également d'étendre l'écosystème maritime connecté d'OCIANA® destiné aux organisations de la chaîne d'approvisionnement, afin d'offrir une vue unique en temps réel partagée entre les ports, les compagnies maritimes et les administrations de pilotage, plutôt que de coordonner les activités par téléphone, courriel et documents papier.

OCIANA® se connecte aux systèmes que ces organisations utilisent déjà plutôt que de les remplacer, permettant ainsi une planification plus précise des postes d'amarrage, un traitement plus rapide des réservations et des demandes de pilotage, des avis de préarrivée fiables, des plans de voyage coordonnés et des arrivées juste à temps uniformes.

Ce qui change

Dès maintenant, GSTS.ca redirigera vers le nouveau site Web de l'entreprise, OCIANA.com. Tous les produits, services et points de contact demeurent inchangés — seuls le nom et l'identité de marque de l'entreprise sont mis à jour afin de refléter la plateforme que les clients connaissent déjà et à laquelle ils font confiance.

Pour en savoir plus sur OCIANA®, visitez ociana.com.

À propos d'OCIANA®

OCIANA® (anciennement Global Spatial Technology Solutions ou GSTS) est une entreprise mondiale de renseignement maritime qui aide les organisations à passer de la connaissance à l'action. Dans le cadre des missions de défense et de sécurité, OCIANA® aide les équipes à repérer les comportements qui nécessitent une enquête, à détecter les menaces plus tôt, à interpréter plus rapidement les intentions et à agir avec confiance. Pour les organisations de la chaîne d'approvisionnement maritime, OCIANA® permet une planification plus intelligente des voyages et des ressources, réduisant ainsi la consommation de carburant et la congestion portuaire tout en simplifiant les rotations des navires.

GSTS Rebrands as OCIANA®, Ahead of Expanded Maritime Intelligence Capabilities USA - English

Company unifies under its flagship platform name as it marks the next step towards delivering predictive, action-ready intelligence and cross-organisational coordination capabilities.

MONTREAL, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Spatial Technology Solutions (GSTS), a global maritime intelligence company, today announced it is rebranding as OCIANA®, unifying the company under the name of its flagship maritime intelligence platform.

"The change marks a new chapter for the company where we are defined by the outcomes that maritime data enables," said Richard Kolacz, Chief Executive Officer at OCIANA®. "Instead of just delivering maritime domain awareness, we are delivering powerful maritime intelligence."

Focusing on what matters

GSTS grew out of deep experience in satellite-based maritime monitoring. Since then, the company has progressed well beyond gathering and integrating maritime data. Its flagship platform, OCIANA®, now delivers dual-use capabilities across two core markets.

For defence and security organisations, OCIANA® delivers a predictive maritime intelligence layer that fuses sensor data, historical patterns, and real-time inputs so agencies can identify the behaviours that warrant investigation, detect threats earlier, interpret intent faster, and act with confidence across sea, air, and intelligence units.

For maritime supply chain organisations, OCIANA® augments existing port and voyage management systems with real-time data, predictive insights, and intelligent coordination. By synchronizing vessel speed with port readiness, forecasting arrivals, and surfacing congestion before it causes delays, OCIANA® helps ports move faster, reduce emissions, and operate more resiliently.

" OCIANA® helps organisations understand what will happen next, and what to do about it," said Kolacz.

New capabilities

Looking ahead, OCIANA® will continue expanding its AI-powered maritime intelligence capabilities with deeper multi-sensor fusion, trusted intelligence workflows, and enhanced collaboration across agencies and allied partners. Future capabilities will help operators move more quickly from detection to coordinated action while providing greater transparency, explainability, and confidence in AI-assisted decision-making.

The company also plans to grow OCIANA®'s connected maritime ecosystem for supply chain organisations, delivering one real-time view shared across ports, shipping lines, and pilotage authorities instead of coordination by phone, email, and paper.

OCIANA® connects to the systems these organisations already use rather than replacing them, adding sharper berth scheduling, faster booking and pilot requests, reliable pre-arrival notifications, coordinated voyage plans, and consistent Just-in-Time arrivals.

What's Changing

Starting immediately, GSTS.ca will redirect to the company's new website, OCIANA.com. All products, services, and points of contact remain unchanged — only the company name and brand identity are updating to reflect the platform customers already know and trust.

To learn more about OCIANA®, visit ociana.com.

About OCIANA®

OCIANA® (previously Global Spatial Technology Solutions or GSTS) is a global maritime intelligence company helping organisations move from awareness to action. For defence and security missions, OCIANA® helps teams identify the behaviours that need investigation, detect threats earlier, interpret intent faster, and act with confidence. For maritime supply chain organisations, OCIANA® powers smarter voyage and resource planning, reducing fuel consumption, easing port congestion, and streamlining vessel turnarounds.

Insurance Expert Jack Sughrue Explains Bundling Insurance for Denver Homeowners in HelloNation

NEWS PROVIDED BY

HelloNation

Aug 31, 2026, 09:57 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

The article examines whether combining home and auto insurance provides real savings and sufficient coverage for Denver homeowners.

DENVER, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Is bundling insurance really the best way for Denver homeowners to save on coverage? HelloNation has published an article that provides the answer, featuring insights from Insurance Expert Jack Sughrue and examining how home and auto insurance decisions affect both cost and protection.

Jack Sughrue - Insurance Agent

The HelloNation article explains that bundling insurance involves purchasing home and auto insurance policies from the same provider. Many insurers offer a bundling discount as an incentive, which can reduce the total cost compared to separate policies. While this approach is often marketed as a simple way to save money, the article notes that actual savings can vary depending on the insurer and the specific policies involved.

The article highlights that the size of a bundling discount is not consistent across providers. In some cases, the savings may be modest, while in others, they can be more noticeable. Because of this variation, the article emphasizes the importance of comparing total costs rather than assuming bundling insurance will always result in the lowest price.

Coverage quality is presented as just as important as cost. The article explains that a lower premium does not necessarily mean better value if the policy includes higher deductibles or reduced protection. Homeowners are encouraged to review coverage details closely to ensure both home and auto insurance policies meet their needs, especially in areas where weather risks can affect both property and vehicles.

Property values are another important factor discussed in the article. As home values increase, coverage limits should reflect the cost of rebuilding rather than just market value. When bundling insurance, the article notes that homeowners should confirm that adequate protection is maintained and not reduced simply to achieve a discount.

Auto insurance considerations remain equally important within a bundled plan. The article explains that coverage levels, deductibles, and optional protections should still align with the driver's situation. While bundling insurance can simplify account management, it should not come at the expense of appropriate vehicle coverage.

The HelloNation article also points to weather risks in Denver as a key consideration. Hail, snow, and severe conditions can increase the likelihood of claims affecting both homes and vehicles. Having both insurance policies with one provider may help streamline the claims process when a single event impacts multiple assets, though the article notes that this convenience should be weighed alongside overall coverage quality.

Flexibility is another factor that can influence the decision. The article describes how bundling insurance may make it less convenient to switch providers if one policy becomes less competitive over time. Homeowners may hesitate to change a single policy if it affects their bundling discount, creating a tradeoff between convenience and the ability to adjust coverage.

The article explains that in some situations, purchasing separate insurance policies from different providers may offer a better combination of price and protection. Comparing both bundled and unbundled options allows homeowners to evaluate the full range of choices rather than relying on a single quote.

The article concludes that bundling insurance can provide savings and convenience, but the true value depends on coverage quality, deductibles, and long-term flexibility. By carefully reviewing each component of home and auto insurance, homeowners can determine whether bundling insurance fits their specific needs and risk profile.

Is Bundling Home and Auto Insurance Actually Worth It for Denver Homeowners? Features insights from Jack Sughrue, Insurance Expert of Denver, Colorado, in HelloNation.

Statistisches Bundesamt

Inflationsrate im August 2026 voraussichtlich +2,9 %

WIESBADEN (ots)

Verbraucherpreisindex, August 2026:

+2,9 % zum Vorjahresmonat (vorläufig)

+0,2 % zum Vormonat (vorläufig)

Harmonisierter Verbraucherpreisindex, August 2026:

+2,9 % zum Vorjahresmonat (vorläufig)

+0,2 % zum Vormonat (vorläufig)

Die Inflationsrate in Deutschland wird im August 2026 voraussichtlich +2,9 % betragen. Gemessen wird sie als Veränderung des Verbraucherpreisindex (VPI) zum Vorjahresmonat. Wie das Statistische Bundesamt (Destatis) nach bisher vorliegenden Ergebnissen weiter mitteilt, steigen die Verbraucherpreise gegenüber Juli 2026 um 0,2 %. Die Inflationsrate ohne Nahrungsmittel und Energie, oftmals auch als Kerninflation bezeichnet, beträgt im August 2026 voraussichtlich +2,4 %. Die Preise für Energie steigen gegenüber dem Vorjahresmonat voraussichtlich um 10,5 %. Damit nimmt die Teuerung für Energie im August weiter zu (Juli 2026: +8,3 % gegenüber Juli 2025; Juni 2026: +3,4 % gegenüber Juni 2025).

Inflationsrechner gibt Auskunft über persönliche Inflationsrate:

Mit dem persönlichen Inflationsrechner des Statistischen Bundesamtes können Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher ihre monatlichen Konsumausgaben für einzelne Güterbereiche entsprechend des eigenen Verbrauchsverhaltens anpassen und eine persönliche Inflationsrate berechnen.

Methodische Hinweise:

Neben dem nationalen Verbraucherpreisindex (VPI) wird insbesondere zu Vergleichszwecken im Euroraum der Harmonisierte Verbraucherpreisindex (HVPI) berechnet. Der HVPI ist das zentrale Maß zur Quantifizierung von Preisstabilität im Rahmen der europäischen Geldpolitik und wird generell aus demselben Datenmaterial abgeleitet, welches auch dem nationalen VPI zugrunde liegt.

Der VPI und der HVPI unterscheiden sich neben der Verwendung auch im Erfassungsbereich, in der Methodik und der Gewichtung.

Seit Januar 2026 sind im HVPI erhebliche Änderungen sowohl bei der Methodik als auch bei der verwendeten Klassifikation umgesetzt. Zudem wird seit Januar 2026 das Ergebnis des HVPI auf der Indexbasis 2025 = 100 ausgewiesen. Aktuelle Informationen zu den Änderungen beim HVPI bietet ein Webartikel auf der Themenseite "Harmonisierter Verbraucherpreisindex" im Internetangebot des Statistischen Bundesamtes. Darüber hinaus sind dort Erläuterungen und ein Methodenpapier verfügbar.

Eine Übersicht zu einzelnen Maßnahmen der Bundesregierung, die sich auf den nationalen VPI und den HVPI für Deutschland auswirken, bietet die Themenseite "Verbraucherpreisindex und Inflationsrate" im Internetangebot des Statistischen Bundesamtes.

Die endgültigen Ergebnisse für August 2026 werden am 10. September 2026 veröffentlicht.

Rather than sharing links to folders of files, Content Portals let teams bring together brand assets from across their workspace and layer in approved colors, fonts, calls to action, and more — all as a beautiful, branded web page that's easy to share.

See how Content Portals let you turn your workspace content into a branded, shareable destination that updates itself automatically.

But these aren't just static share pages. Content Portals pull directly from the files and Collections inside Stockpress, so they reflect what's actually there — whether that's a new File Version or a Smart Collection surfacing content based on rules you set. That means living brand guides, campaign hubs, and resource centers, with no manual updates or rebuilds. Learn more about Content Portals.

According to Stockpress's own research, 53% of teams say collaborating on files with clients, agencies, and partners is one of their biggest challenges, while 67% report people working outside the system their company chose, often because it's simply easier to get content another way.

The challenge isn't just sharing files — it's controlling exactly what each audience sees, without exposing the wider workspace. Teams need to bring together selected content from different parts of their DAM, add context, and create an experience designed specifically for the audience receiving it.

Content Portals are built for those moments. The DAM remains the single place where all assets are stored and managed, while the Content Portal becomes the curated destination you share externally — giving each audience exactly what they need, without giving them access to everything behind it.

Stockpress is seeing Content Portal being used to create:

Living brand guidelines with current logos, colors, fonts, photography, downloadable assets, and usage guidance.

Sales enablement hubs for a single destination for current presentations, product imagery, videos and case studies.

Partner resource centers where retail or agency partners can see a carefully curated selection of approved content without needing to navigate the wider DAM.

Campaign hub that brings together messaging, creative, video, and files from across a workspace.

Always-current media centers with approved logos, executive headshots, press releases and product imagery.

"We've always given customers ways to share the files and Collections they manage in Stockpress. Content Portals give them something different — control over the experience itself," said Jessica Storry, CEO and co-founder of Stockpress. "You can bring together assets from across your workspace, explain how they should be used, and present them beautifully. Because it all stays connected to Stockpress, the destination stays current as your content changes."

Content Portals are available now in Stockpress. Every plan includes one Content Portal, while Premium plan customers can create unlimited Content Portals for different teams, audiences, and use cases.

Stockpress sees the launch as part of a broader shift in Digital Asset Management — from simply storing and organizing content to making it more accessible and easier for teams to use.
