With a vision to create a convenient, kosher, neighborhood grocery store, Moti's opened in 1999 on Rollins Avenue in Rockville. Featuring prepared foods, Israeli products, quality meats and poultry, little Moti's Market was bursting at the seams! When the opportunity arose to acquire a location just a few miles away, they seized the moment to expand. With over 25,000 square feet, their visions grew even bigger! Before long, Al Ha'esh Israeli Grill offered fine Mediterranean cuisine and became a favorite local dining spot. They didn't stop there! Moti's started producing Moti's Pita with baking equipment brought from Israel and Moti's Salads starring their very own recipes. From the streets of Jerusalem to a corner market in Rockville, Moti's brings the flavors and aromas of Israel to life.

In 2013, they opened Catering by Moti’s. Catering by Moti’s is the simple way to make special events delicious, easily planned and enjoyed by hosts and guests. Moti's has become a hub for quality prepared foods and baked goods, international delicacies, selected wines from around the world, imported cheeses, fresh produce, meat, poultry and fish.

Stellar IT Solutions Launches First-Ever Event Booking Platform to Match Organizers’ Needs with Available Venue Space
Date: September 01, 2020, 11:00 GMT   Category: Corporate News

Stellar IT Solutions, Inc. (Stellar IT) announces the launch of greatEvents, delivering real-time visibility into meeting room inventory at member venues. ROCKVILLE, MD, USA, September 1, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Stellar IT Solutions, Inc. (Stellar IT) announces the launch of greatEvents, a first-of-its-kind event booking and management platform designed to streamline the planning process for event planners, hotels, and customers. greatEvents provides event organizers with online web or app access to book venue space, globally. The platform successfully integrates the sales and catering functions, allowing customers to specify event requirements and venue managers to receive customer requests in one place....

Unlike all other platforms, greatEvents delivers real-time visibility into meeting room inventory at member hotel and venue locations. Registered users can directly book a venue and plan an event through the platform’s website or app. Based on the options made available by the hotel or venue – such as food and beverage choices, seating arrangements, audio/visual support, and entertainment selections – customers can submit event-related requests quickly and efficiently.

“greatEvents will change the landscape of event booking for both customers and hoteliers,” says Dipak Thakker, CEO and president of Stellar IT. “Easy to use and navigate, it is a one-stop planning tool for event organizers. At the same time, it provides an intuitive workflow that allows sales and catering managers to book an event in a fraction of the time by receiving the full customer lead before picking up the phone.”

The greatEvents platform is based on the online inventory access model that has been a dynamic success in the airline, hotel room, and car rental booking industries for years. It also replaces the outdated booking systems venues currently use. “For many years, hotel sales and catering systems have been on a slow path to innovation,” says Thakker. “Many hotels rely on very expensive legacy systems that are inefficient, causing sales and catering managers to spend hours detailing an event. greatEvents revolutionizes the booking process.”

The greatEvents platform was developed out of the recently launched Stellar iDea Labs, Stellar IT’s in-house technology incubator. Stellar iDea Labs encourages product innovations and solutions by fostering start-ups and fast-tracking them through a highly collaborative process.

Stellar IT Solutions, Inc. Announces NIH Grant With IHV for Assessing Opioid Use Disorder With Predictive Analytics
Date: September 15, 2020, 11:00 GMT   Category: Corporate News

This award, provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will allow Stellar and the IHV to build upon, and expand, their investigative research. ROCKVILLE, MD, USA, September 15, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Stellar IT Solutions, Inc. (Stellar), in partnership with the Institute of Human Virology (IHV), is working together to determine the predictors of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and how OUD relates to retention of patient care, specifically in those with HIV. This award, provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will allow Stellar and IHV to build upon, and expand, their investigative research....

Stellar, through its in-house technology incubator, Stellar iDea Labs, focuses on technology gaps in both the private and public sectors using proprietary artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) solutions. For example, the management team built a similar predictive analytics model that is currently one of the most successful tools used to identify individuals engaged in insider trading in all major US securities markets, including NYSE, Nasdaq, and Amex. Stellar iDea Labs is currently exploring technology solutions in hospitality, Health IT, contact centers, financial regulation, and e-commerce, among other areas.

“This collaboration, with the assistance of grant funding by OAR/NIH, will allow Stellar to build upon its research into Health IT predictive analytics,” says Dipak Thakker, CEO and President of Stellar. Stellar’s algorithms are designed to identify indicators of patients who carry the risk of opioid addiction or are currently an addict.

IHV’s research is focused on two critical elements – achieving a 75% and 90% reduction in HIV transmission over the next 5 and 10 years, respectively. In order to reach these goals, IHV will work with Stellar to develop predictive algorithms that identify the contributors to a lack of retention of care in patients with HIV in urban clinic settings. Dr. Shyamasundaran Kottilil, Professor of Medicine, Co-Director of IHV’s Clinical Research Unit and Head of IHV’s Division of Clincal Care and Research says, “The use of machine-learning algorithms in HIV clinics is a novel approach for addressing barriers to continuity of care.” Dr. Poonam Mathur, Assistant Professor of Medicine at IHV and Principal Investigator for this project says, “We expect that this intervention will result in development of a long-standing, self-sustaining logistical model that can be applied to all patients in our clinics, which will allow us to preemptively intervene on factors that would predispose to OUD and non-retention in long-term HIV care.”

The project will add value to the science by integrating health information technology with healthcare delivery in a manner that does not alter the existing infrastructure and instead enhances it.
