DiffusionData Delivers Critical Market Alignment Strategy
DiffusionData, formerly known as Push Technology, the pioneer and leader in real-time data streaming and messaging solutions, today announced the final details of the company’s business realignment strategy to meet the digital transformation needs of the broad range of markets it serves. The last step is to present the renaming of the company to assure absolute clarity on the corporate mission — to manage and reduce the costs of data Consumption, Transformation, and Delivery in real time at Internet scale.
Background
One and a half decades ago when the company was founded, digital transformation was in its infancy. During the subsequent years, companies everywhere have worked to determine what components are required for a smooth digital transformation journey. It has been generally understood that data must be delivered in real time at Internet scale. However, in order to achieve this goal, there cannot be restrictions on data consumption, and low-code functionality to enable data enrichment and transformation is required. Most importantly, the orchestration of the data journey throughout these stages requires platform intelligence which removes the hassles of data handling from the development teams enabling them to focus on critical business requirements and deliver applications to market faster.
The Key is Platform Intelligence
As with most things the devil is in the detail. The key to successfully orchestrating the stages of the data journey, is built-in platform intelligence every step of the way.
Platform intelligence is invaluable because it allows companies to:
- Reduce Operational Costs – by increasing the capacity of existing in-place hardware and optimizing infrastructure because Diffusion is a cache and a stream, benefiting from a subscription rather than polling model which optimizes communication and ensures updates are propagated in real time, delivering hyper-scalability with a reasonable TCO, and using Diffusion’s proprietary Delta Data algorithms which only send data that has changed.
- Speed and simplify development – with low-code data transformation engine.
- Hyper-personalization via hierarchical data structures and granular access control.
Grethe Brown, promoted to Chief Executive Officer to formulate and execute the corporate alignment strategy, said: “Companies require intelligent systems to save them development time and money as well as reduce ongoing operational costs of building and running next generation mission critical corporate applications. Our Diffusion Intelligent Data Platform is a breed apart from the traditional tools available in the market to support the digital transformation requirements of companies we serve across the globe.”

AGCO Fines Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto $350,000 for Serious Regulatory Violations Linked to Impromptu After-Party on Gaming Floor
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued monetary penalties totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto for multiple violations of provincial gaming standards. The penalties follow an impromptu after-party that was permitted to take place in the pre-dawn hours directly on the casino’s gaming floor.
On September 27, 2024, an electronic dance music event attended by thousands of people was hosted in the theatre adjacent to the casino at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The event was marked by widespread intoxication, disorderly behavior, and numerous criminal and medical incidents – both inside and outside the venue – including alleged assaults, drug overdoses, and acts of public indecency. Although paid duty officers were present, additional police and emergency services were required to manage the situation.
In the midst of this high-risk environment, casino management approved an unscheduled request by the performing artist to host an after-party on the active gaming floor. The artist and more than 400 guests were permitted onto the gaming floor where the artist was allowed to perform amidst operational table games and gaming machines – without any prior risk assessment or planning.
As a result, security personnel were unable to effectively control the casino floor, including witness reports that an attendee was seen climbing onto slot machines. Failure to maintain appropriate control compromises the security, safety, and integrity of the casino floor. Following the conclusion of the event, the operator failed to promptly report these incidents to the AGCO as required.
Based on the findings of its review, the AGCO’s Registrar has issued an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. These penalties address critical failures in their operations, incident reporting, employee training, and the management of disturbances.
A gaming operator served with an OMP has 15 days to appeal the Registrar’s decision to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.
“Casino operators have a fundamental duty to control their gaming environment. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto’s lapses in this incident compromised the safety of patrons and the security and integrity of the gaming floor,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar of AGCO, said.
