Adding to our history of innovation in the Professional Beauty Industry, we are proud to announce the re-launch of WellaBooking.com as WellaEd.com, a powerful online e-learning and in-person event sales platform for Hair and Nail Care professionals! The WellaEd.com Platform builds upon the original WellaBooking event system, adding Salon Star profiles, Downloadable Certificates, and multi-part Journeys which enable attendees of Wella's innovative industry education programs to progress from Specialist, to Expert, and finally, to become Masters in their craft. The program offers flexible learning options for modern distance learning, to provide participants flexible learning opportunities - completing education as self-paced e-learning at home, at the salon, at satellite locations, or as in person, hands on education, in Wella's world-class education center in Los Angeles CA. Many courses are available in either required or elective choices, for a student to craft their own unique journey, and participate in digital education with pre-recorded lessons and knowledge checks, one-on-one coaching, or in traditional classroom formats.

Implementing WebP

Posted by Admin in Tech

In our ongoing pursuit of excellence in technology, we're always looking for ways to stay at the cutting edge of browser compatibility and optimization for our customers. Our developers have recently completed the implementation of WebP image format integration into our online banner advertising and image management modules. This modern, super-optimized Image format can serve images at nearly identical fidelity as JPG or PNG files, but usually at about half the file size! This seemingly small change means big things- your web pages render faster across all classes of devices, with particular advantages for mobile devices. Faster load times mean better search ranking in Google and other saearch engines. Translating to more eyeballs on your content, rather than waiting for pages to load.

We are excited to annoucnce that our Senior Software Systems Engineer & CTO, Ryan Cooper, has recently achieved a Professional Certificate in Data Science from HarvardX, the online learning system offered by Harvard University. His certification as a professional data scientist adds to our portfolio of offerings in big data analytics & management. This important field of study uses powerful, high-throughput functional programming in the R programming language to allow vast amounts of data to be effectively studied through advanced principles in bayesian statistics, finite math, matrices & linear algebra. Applying these principles to data sets enables the implementation of machine learning features to derive meaningful conclusoins and actionable intelligence from enormous quantitative data sets. Ryan's projects included rating & recommendation systems, classification systems using random forest models on large scale incomplete heirarchical data sets, real estate price point predictions using ANOVA, e-commerce market basket analysis, weather pattern analysis, optical character recognition & entity extraction, game theory, optimization, and similar advanced mathematical, computing and logical concepts.
