Weather is always a factor when considering the safety of lives and structures, but with the overwhelming response to the COVID-19 crisis and the volatility of spring weather these risks are amplified. Triage tents and other temporary outdoor structures are extremely vulnerable to weather events, as are other lifesaving operations. Hospitals may not be able to relocate patients during hazardous weather and first response efforts may be challenging.
That is why DTN, an independent source of insights, analysis and decision-support solutions, announced today that it is supporting hospitals, medical institutions, public health agencies, and first responders worldwide by offering its premier weather app service WeatherSentry at no cost during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“At DTN we are committed to providing our insights to support those who feed, fuel and protect our world,” said Mike Eilts, DTN senior vice president-weather. “Our healthcare workers and organizations are on the frontlines of protecting citizens worldwide and, in some cases, working in less-than-ideal structures. It is important that they have access to the best weather information available at their fingertips should the need arise, so they can quickly react and ensure the safety of their patients and themselves in the event of severe weather.”
Healthcare workers, hospitals, public health agencies and first responders globally can register for two free months of WeatherSentry. The subscription includes web and mobile app access to professional-grade alerting for mobile positions and fixed locations; real-time lightning display and alerts; severe weather storm tracks via radar; hourly and 15-day forecasts; and access to DTN meteorologists 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“DTN has long been there, supporting our customers globally with unmatched insights during difficult situations, such as extreme weather events and customers working outdoors,” said Eilts. “We are proud to be providing WeatherSentry to support our world’s healthcare organizations and first responders when they need the information the most.”
Forecast timing and accuracy, as well as real-time alerts are crucial to lessening the impact to lives during dangerous weather situations. WeatherSentry users get access to precise, accurate, and reliable weather information delivered in a single screen, and updated as conditions change.
WeatherSentry is available for Android phone and tablet users at the Google Play store and for iOS devices on the App store once the free subscription has been authorized. To learn more and to sign up for the complimentary service, visit the DTN WeatherSentry for COVID-19 responders page.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact.

Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable.

New identity reflects expanded vision to help CIOs “See Clearly. Spend Better.” Brightfin today announced that, following its merger with Proven Optics, the combined company will operate under a single brand: Brightfin. The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend.

Far fewer can tell you whether it’s working. “Over the past several months, we’ve brought these two businesses together around a shared purpose: help enterprise businesses better understand and optimize their technology spend,” said Joel Martins, CEO of Brightfin. “What we are seeing now is a shift. Visibility alone isn’t enough. Teams need to be able to act, tied to real financial outcomes. See Clearly.
