NICE, France, May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- At TM Forum's Management World 2013,Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems and services, today announced the industry's first complete, virtualized network control offering.  The new virtualized deployment options for Amdocs' suite of network control products enable service providers to accelerate the introduction of new services while taking full advantage of standard off-the-shelf hardware to reduce costs.  The virtualization solution will be supported on key Amdocs network control products widely deployed today, including Amdocs Policy Controller (PCRF), Amdocs Home Subscriber Server, and Amdocs Subscriber Data Broker.

Amdocs' modular, virtualized environments offer service providers improved elasticity around performance and scalability at a lower cost by breaking the traditional linkage between function and hardware.  This virtualized environment - characterized by distributed software architecture, self-contained application clusters with no scale limitations, and no dependency on centralized session/state storage - also enables easy expansion, operation and in-service upgrades.

In addition to these key benefits around performance and scalability, Amdocs' virtualized network control solutions will enhance service agility, allowing for rapid introduction of services that can be targeted at specific subscribers and/or geographies (such as enterprise, mobile virtual network operator and machine-to-machine) including dynamic quality of service on demand.  Consistent with Amdocs' approach, these products offer multi-network support and extensive interoperability with network elements, enabling ease of deployment in mixed vendor heterogeneous network (HetNet) environments.

"Control plane applications, such as policy servers, subscriber databases, and IMS, will be among the first virtualized 4G core functions to be implemented in commercial mobile networks," said Gabriel Brown, senior analyst at Heavy Reading.  "By starting with the control plane, operators are able to establish new architectures and networking models that will incorporate more virtualized applications in the future, and in time play a role in broader telecom cloud and software-defined network strategies."

"As part of the first complete virtualized network control plane suites to reach the market, our elastic policy control solution will drive down ongoing costs and enable faster time to market for new service offerings," said Rebecca Prudhomme, Amdocs vice president for product and solutions marketing.  "Following the introduction of Amdocs Elastic Online Charging and certification of our Customer Experience Systems portfolio on VMware as part of our latest CES 9 release, this announcement extends our plans to continue to invest in virtualizing our solutions in order to extend these benefits to our customers."

recall an unlimited number of site layouts.

    "Vumii SiteBuilder is a highly effective tool for giving users an understanding of
specific site security requirements," said Chris Ruttle, CEO, Vumii Imaging. "We designed

Insitu Pacific Delivers ScanEagle UAS for the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force

BRISBANE, Australia, May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Insitu Pacific, the Australia-based subsidiary of Insitu Inc., announced today that it has delivered a ScanEagle Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to its partner Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) of Japan. This delivery means that the ScanEagle UAS is now ready for operational use by the Japanese Ground Self Defence Forces (JGSDF).

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130514/SF13369)

The system delivery follows a contract signing last year with MHI to deliver ScanEagle to JGSDF.

JGSDF identified the need for a UAS to assess damage and provide vital real-time information for first responders to natural and man-made disasters in the wake of the country's 2011 earthquake and tsunami crisis. This requirement has since become a top priority for the Japanese government, and Insitu Pacific has worked closely with Sojitz Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, its partners in Japan, to deliver the ScanEagle UAS in support of this requirement.

"The benefits ScanEagle brings to Japan are substantial and this well-proven UAS could help save many lives in the future by getting information into the right hands quickly," said Insitu Pacific Director of Business Development, Dale McDowall. "The ScanEagle will enhance Japan's immediate response capability and we are very pleased to have developed such a great partnership with Sojitz Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan."

Over the next twelve months, JGSDF will be operationally testing and evaluating the ScanEagle system to prepare for entry into service.

Insitu Pacific, located in Queensland, Australia, has provided UAS services to defence, civil and commercial interests in the Asia-Pacific region since June 2009. Insitu Pacific is a subsidiary of U.S.-based Insitu Inc.

Insitu Inc., located in Bingen, Wash., is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company. Insitu designs, develops and manufactures UAS and provides associated services for commercial and military applications. With a small footprint and expeditionary focus for both land and sea, the company's family of UAS solutions serves the needs of the global defence community. To date, these systems have accumulated more than 711,000 operational hours and 76,000 sorties. For more information, visit http://www.insitupacific.com.

The virtues of an Electrone Americas Ltd. USB keypad with display

ORLANDO, Fla., May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- User-friendly and cost-efficient keypads suit a wide variety of applications. They are a match made in heaven for health clubs, gyms, and yoga and martial arts studios. For martial arts studios in particular, which tend to attract a younger clientele,  a keypad  with display offers an easy--and forgiving--solution to monitoring attendance.

Here is a telling example of how a keypad with display can fulfill a need like nothing else.  David Dye, the operator of  Shuyokan Ryu Martial Arts Center in Costa Mesa, California, needed a way his students, who start at age seven, could enter their ID number directly into the Martial Arts Organizer software program.  His software provider, martialartsorganizer.com, offered some hardware on their site, but no key pads.  Martial arts organizer offered a bar code scanner, which was more expensive and complex, requiring students to remember their cards and scan them properly. They was also the option of an off-the-shelf  keypad, which Dye tried, but the problem with that was  if a number was entered wrong, there was no way of fixing the mistake. Another child's number, or a nonexistent number, would be counted on the attendance record.

Dye was clear about what he needed for optimal efficiency: a numeric keypad with a display so the student can see the numbers as entered, with a backspace key to correct errors. Once the number was inputted accurately, Dye wanted an Enter or Green button to enter the number into the software program. "Above all, I needed it to be kept simple," says Dye, "so that a seven-year-old could use it without problems. Electrone Americas was the only company I found that could do what I wanted my hardware to do. They were very helpful, and as soon as I plugged their keypad in, it worked, and alleviated the need for having a second computer." Electrone America's USB HID keypad saved the day--and the dojo--with a cost-effective, intuitive to use, and self-contained solution to an automatic attendance system.

Ammunition Collaborates with Adobe on Ground-breaking New Hardware "Project Mighty" Smart Stylus and "Project Napoleon," Digital Ruler

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The renowned industrial design firm, Ammunition, is proud to introduce the first results of its collaboration with Adobe Systems Incorporated -- the software giant's first foray into exploring hardware products. Adobe debuted the "Project Mighty" stylus for tablets and the "Project Napoleon" digital ruler at their annual MAX conference during the May 6, 2013 morning keynote.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130513/NY12389 )

Michael Gough, VP of Experience Design at Adobe, used the two products onstage at the MAX conference, demonstrating the seamless integration with Adobe Creative Cloud and Kuler software, and the pressure sensitive nature of the "Project Mighty" stylus, which helps it draw a natural and expressive line and can access cloud based content via the stylus into the application at hand. In a blog post about the event, Gough wrote "Although we spend many hours a day behind the keyboard and mouse, we still often start the creative process as we did thousands of years ago with pen and paper. But with tablets and new input methods like Mighty, this is going to change - I am confident."

ANALOG FOR THE CLOUD

Ammunition's team of designers have collaborated with Adobe to produce "Project Mighty", a Bluetooth-enabled cloud pen for the iPad and iPhone, and "Project Napoleon," a Bluetooth, multifunctional straight edge for the iPad as well as accessories such as a unique desk-top charging dock that highlights the spire-like nature of the pen. "We partnered with Adobe on a variety of hardware explorations to create a holistic and thoughtfully designed product experience," said Ammunition founder/partner Robert Brunner, "We all understand tools, and the pen and ruler are the most iconic instruments embedded in our idea of drawing and writing, but they haven't been effectively introduced into the digital world. The form language, the feel, and the integration into Adobe's services and products had to be right while also creating an object of desire - something beautiful and alluring."

The simple, elegant "Project Mighty" stylus is first and foremost an incredible drawing tool made of high-end materials and finishes, with a design that incorporates architectural influences while remaining ergonomic. "The materials we're using needed to be straightforward and honest, which is why aluminum feels and looks like aluminum, and plastic looks like plastic. We wanted something simple and pure but also very different and unique," said Brunner.

Of the design, Brunner added, "the twisted hydroformed aluminum body is a smooth, flowing gesture with a slight taper toward the front giving it a nice forward movement. The plastic on the rear end and of the nozzle works great functionally by giving an antenna window and an insulation area, but also creates a good balance to the form." The twisted triangular shape is highly ergonomic and was inspired by triangular rubber pencil grips used by young schoolchildren.

The Ammunition/Adobe design team collectively sees the Project Mighty stylus as a "Cloud based pen for the post-PC world." These new physical device concepts come in the wake of big changes for Adobe as the software company announced its movement toward a more cloud-based subscription model, and continuing focus on Creative Cloud, the company's flagship offering for creative which prioritizes frictionless creative workflows across desktop, web and mobile applications. Going forward, the "Project Mighty" stylus and "Project Napoleon" straight edge could possibly provide a unique cloud-connected interface for this range of Adobe applications.

Industry's Smallest 18-Bit Successive Approximation Register (SAR) ADC from Maxim Integrated Saves 70% Board Space

Maxim's bipolar SAR ADC integrates a reference buffer and internal reference while offering excellent AC and DC performance.

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) today announced that it is now shipping the MAX11156, the industry's smallest 12-pin, 18-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Available in a tiny 3mm x 3mm TDFN package, the MAX11156 integrates an internal reference and reference buffer, saving cost and at least 70% board space over competing solutions. With 18-bit resolution, this high-performance ADC features Beyond-the-Rails(TM) technology, which supports a +5V input from a single positive 5V input rail. This technology eliminates the need for negative power supplies and simplifies designs. With 18-bit resolution and a 500ksps sampling rate, the MAX11156 is ideal for automatic test equipment (ATE), industrial control systems, medical instrumentation, and robotics, where high accuracy and tiny size are paramount.

Due to its monotonic transfer characteristic, fast settling time, and lack of latency, the MAX11156 is ideal for fast, high-precision digital control-loop systems. In fact, the MAX11156 provides 18-bit resolution with no missing codes; excellent DC accuracy (0.5 LSB DNL and 2.5 LSB INL (typ)); and excellent AC performance (94.6dB SNR and -105dB THD (typ)). Additionally, the MAX11156 communicates using a SPI-compatible serial interface, which can be used to daisy-chain multiple ADCs in parallel for multichannel applications. This interface can also provide a busy indicator to simplify system synchronization and timing.

Key Advantages

    --  Reduced board space: industry's smallest 18-bit SAR ADC integrates a
        reference buffer and internal reference, which saves cost and simplifies
        designs
    --  Improved performance: the 18-bit performance produces 94.6dB SNR, -105dB
        THD (typ), and guarantees no missing codes
    --  Bipolar input range: measures a +5V (10V(P-P)) input range while
        operating from a single 5V supply; simplifies external signal
        conditioning
Industry Commentary

    --  "The MAX11156 18-bit SAR ADC offers excellent accuracy and high
        integration in a tiny package," said Carmelo Morello, Senior Business
        Manager at Maxim Integrated. "Its release showcases our dedication to
        highly integrated SAR ADCs, 16 bits and up."
    --  "Eighteen-bit ADCs are meeting the need for increased precision in
        industrial and medical applications," said Colin Barnden, Principal
        Analyst at Semicast. "This allows these systems to improve diagnostic
        capability."

Walmart to Carry Two TP-LINK Portable Wireless Networking Products in Over 800 Retail Stores

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TP-LINK, a global provider of networking products, today announced a national distribution with Walmart to offer two TP-LINK portable wireless networking products in approximately 800 Walmart stores nationwide.

Walmart customers will be able to select from a pair of proven TP-LINK wireless solutions for home and business use. The set of products to land on Walmart's store shelves are the 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router (TL-WR700N) and the TP-LINK Portable Battery Powered 3G/4G Wireless N Router (TL-MR3040). TP-LINK expects both products to attract Walmart shoppers with their specific portable and mobile networking needs.

"Walmart is trying to fill a void for portable and mobile networking products as well as assess the TP-LINK value," said Lewis Wu, Country Manager of TP-LINK USA. "Should these products perform as we expect them to, there will be opportunities to offer more TP-LINK products to Walmart's customers."

The 150Mbps Wireless N Mini Pocket Router (TL-WR700N) connects users in places that offer wired-only Internet. Simply plug it into a power outlet, insert the Ethernet cable into the device and it's ready to share the Internet "wirelessly" with multiple users at 150Mbps speed with superior range if the device is placed nearby. Small to fit inside your pocket, it is ideal for connecting computers, tablets, smart phones, portable gaming consoles, and other Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices while on-the-go. With a very modest price-point the TP-LINK Mini Pocket Router can fit the budget of any Walmart customer, especially for travelers and students.

The Portable Battery Powered 3G/4G Wireless N Router (TL-MR3040) is a mobile networking device that pairs with a 3G/4G USB modem. Insert the USB modem and the device will broadcast a wireless signal creating a mobile office or entertainment network for up to five devices to simultaneously access the 3G/4G mobile network.  The device is the ideal travel companion, with pocket-sized design and powered by an internal rechargeable 2000mAh battery. The device is also easy to use, allowing users to rapidly set up a wireless Internet connection in as little time as it takes to plug in their 3G/4G USB router or an Ethernet cable.

Both products are available in stores beginning May 13(th), 2013.

TP-LINK is attracting a growing number of retail partners since an industry tracking report by research firm IDC noted the company is pulling away with leadership in global WLAN (wireless local area network) market share. TP-LINK now commands a 36.36% share of the worldwide WLAN market, which is almost 20 percent ahead of its nearest competitor. It is also higher than the next four competitors' market share combined.

About TP-LINK

TP-LINK is a global provider of SOHO and SMB networking products and the world's No.1 provider of WLAN and broadband CPE devices, with products available in over 120 countries to tens of millions customers. Committed to intensive R&D, efficient production and strict quality management, TP-LINK continues to provide award-winning networking products in Wireless, ADSL, Routers, Switches, IP Cameras, Powerline Adapters, Print Servers, Media Converters and Network Adapters for Global end-users.

New LED Lamp Sets the Bar for Innovation and Price -- Launches on Kickstarter

LEWES, Del., May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --  A new project on Kickstarter appeared a couple weeks ago and is setting the bar for innovation and price in the LED linear lighting market. It's the Klauf light bar and it's in a class of its own. It uses remote phosphor for better color, brightness, fluidity, and lifetime of the fixture. It's very bright (435 lumens) and modular, allowing the light bar to be chained end-to-end or with jumpers. Uncommon these days is that all necessary cords and accessories are included.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130513/PH11779)

The most intriguing thing about the Klauf light bar is its price point. At only $55 for the 12-inch high quality unit, it's more than 70% less expensive than linear fixtures from other quality manufacturers - fixtures without half of the light bar's technology. Many people are discovering the light bar, as it is nearly 80% funded and only half way through its campaign at Kickstarter.com.

The Klauf light bar gives Tech Lighting's Unilume product a run for its money. The Unilume has already received awards and high praise from the lighting industry. Klauf Lighting's light bar is priced at a fraction of the Unilume's price, with the same light output, a smaller and more modular footprint, and the cord is not an extra purchase. Larger under-cabinet lighting manufacturers, such as Kichler, WAC, Juno, and GE, must also take notice. Klauf Lighting has only begun being a strong competitor in the LED lighting industry.

For more about Klauf, or to purchase the innovative light bar, visit http://Klauf.com and click the Kickstarter link at the top of the page.

Adobe Announces Launch of New Creative Cloud Offerings in India

NEW DELHI, May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    The Full Creative Cloud Offering is now Available, in Time for Customers to Enjoy
Major Updates Delivering Hundreds of new Features in the Latest Versions of Adobe's
Industry-Defining Desktop Tools

    Adobe has announced new launches of Adobe(R) Creative Cloud(TM), the company's
flagship offering for creatives. Creative Cloud for individuals and Creative Cloud for
enterprise join Creative Cloud for teams, launched in March, completing the full Adobe
Creative Cloud membership options available for sale in India. Adobe Creative Cloud is a
subscription-based service that includes more than 30 tools and services enabling
professional-grade content creation and delivery across print, web, mobile apps, video and
photography.

    Simultaneously, at Adobe MAX the Creativity Conference being held this week in Los
Angeles, the company announced a significant update to Creative Cloud, introducing
stunning versions of Adobe's next generation of desktop applications including Adobe
Photoshop(R) CC, InDesign(R) CC, Illustrator(R) CC, Dreamweaver(R) CC and Premiere(R) Pro
CC. Adobe's desktop tools, previously known as Creative Suite (CS), are now branded CC to
reflect that they are an integral part of Creative Cloud and have been reinvented to
support a more intuitive, connected way of creating. In addition, Behance, the world's
leading online creative community, is now integrated with Creative Cloud, so customers can
showcase work, get feedback on projects and gain global exposure.

    "Adobe Creative Cloud's advanced capabilities are making it a hit with the worldwide
creative community: more than a half million paid members, and well over 2 million free
members have signed up for Creative Cloud since it was launched globally in April 2012,"
said Umang Bedi, Managing Director, Adobe South Asia, "Creative Cloud is dramatically
changing how creative professionals and businesses publish finished work, and deliver
enhanced services that build and power websites, mobile apps, tablet publications, online
portfolios, and content for virtually any medium and device. Among the upgrades available
is inbuilt support for ten Indian languages in Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC, so this is
good news for creative professionals in our market."

    Popular Indian motorcyclist and photographer and one of the earliest users of Adobe
Creative Cloud in India, Sundeep Gajjar 'The Motographer' said, "Creative Cloud is a great
idea and I am using multiple products on my 23,000-km motorcycle ride across Australia
right now. I use Lightroom and Photoshop for editing and managing my photos. I also use
Dreamweaver to do small tweaks on the trip website at
http://www.theGrandAustralianRoadtrip.com. I couldn't imagine better photo management
software than Lightroom. I just can't work without it! It's got all my workflow completely
sorted."

    Adobe also announced that the company will now focus its creative software development
efforts on the Creative Cloud. While Adobe Creative Suite(R) 6 products will continue to
be supported and available for purchase, the company has no plans for future releases of
Creative Suite or other CS products. "Focusing development on Creative Cloud will not only
accelerate the rate at which Adobe can innovate but also broaden the type of innovation
the company can offer the creative community," explained Umang Bedi.

    Adobe is facilitating the transition to Creative Cloud with attractive pricing plans
and promotions for individual members, teams and enterprise customers. For more details,
visit http://www.adobe.com/in. Adobe will continue to sell licenses for all CS6
products via electronic download from adobe.com and participating resellers.

    Adobe Creative Cloud Powers Frictionless Creative Workflows

    This milestone update to Adobe Creative Cloud brings everything together in one place,
simplifying the creative process from start to finish. It gives the very latest versions
of the tools and services our customers love, coupled with more efficient ways to
collaborate and share work with the creative community.

    Core features include:

       
        - Desktop, Web and Mobile Access. Creative Cloud allows users to stay
          connected with workgroups and the creative community via their desktop, website, or
          mobile device. With Creative Cloud, your entire creative world gets its own
          centralized hub where ideas, files, fonts, settings, notifications, and team members
          are connected and organized. Join group folders to work collaboratively; track updates
          and comments to shared files; stay connected to work on Behance; get notified when app
          updates are available and download the latest updates; and access favorite colors,
          fonts and settings, wherever you are.
        - Integration With The World's Leading Creative Community. With Behance now
          integrated with Creative Cloud, members will be able to publish their own portfolios,
          follow other creatives, publish work-in-progress from within a growing number of CC
          apps and solicit feedback from the worldwide creative community. Over 1.4 million
          creatives globally are part of the Behance network.
        - Synchronize, Store, Share and Collaborate. All files and assets will be
          automatically synchronized between the desktop, cloud and mobile devices. A designer
          can take a photo on their iPad, use Photoshop Touch to refine the photo while on the
          go, then access that file, via the cloud, and use Photoshop CC on their Mac or Windows
          PC to further enhance the image. Designers can designate shared folders and invite
          others to collaborate on files. Edits are stored with version history so users can
          share their files with confidence. Individual members receive 20GB of storage.

International Display Advertising Is The First To Market Table Top Advertising Network That Enables Advertisers To Access Their Target Audience

SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla., May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- International Display Advertising, Inc. (OTC PINK: IDAD) ("Display Ads"), is the entity responsible for all global advertising and sales for Display Points and its first-to-market table top advertising network that enables Advertisers to strategically target their captive audience with touch screen displays.

IDAD focuses on engaging consumers in destination locations such as restaurants, bars, hotels and other consumer venues. Display Points has formed strategic partnerships with an international OEM, international network Management Company and numerous advertising groups. Display Pointsstands at the cutting-edge of the Digital-Out-Of-Home (DOOH) space because of its interactive capabilities. Also, the network is place-based, meaning it exists in a specific venue outside of the home. The value of place-based media is that it reaches consumers in a precise location, in a particular frame of mind, and often very close to the point of purchase.

The Display Points device has a small 5"x7" footprint which allows it to fit on any table or bar and with an attractive design and high-resolution display complementing any setting. The interactive touch screen allows customers to interact with the display through multi-page ads, games, real-time news, weather, sports scores, movie times, restaurant promotions and menu specialties. Display Points' innovative touch screen also enables two-way communication allowing venues to add email addresses to their database right from the table and using SMS and text messaging to interact and communicate with customers.

Display Points updates automatically and wirelessly allowing venues to adjust advertising to fit the time of day. Content is delivered daily to the units through one secure router installed at each venue by Display Points and will handle all units at each venue.   

In short, with Display Points, advertisers can deliver their message to a highly targeted audience while they are engaged in their daily routine. Unlike traditional on-premise advertising or out-of-home advertising, Display Points provides all the benefits of online digital communication, the ability not just to deliver a static ad message, but also to engage their audience and generate leads. A Nielsen media research study in 2009 showed that 4 out of 10 households are equipped with DVR devices and of that group 91percent of DVR owners' skipped commercials. As a result, traditional TV advertisers are hungry for an effective substitute and digital out-of-home ads appear to be one of the solutions.

Dave Hazzard, President of International Display Advertising, Inc. stated, "Our research has shown that six views are required for a lasting impression. Display Points delivers six impressions in a single average visit! This makes Display Points advertising one of the most effective ways to reach customers. With an average dinner lasting at least 45 minutes to an hour our ads will be seen multiple times at a longer duration than other ad mediums!"

About the Company; International Display Advertising (IDAD) owns the international rights to market, distribute and sell the proprietary interactive digital media of Display Points an interactive digital media company that competes in the Digital-Out-Of-Home (DOOH). IDAD has also developed a location-based Internet advertising platform called Display Points Plus that allows restaurants and advertisers to coordinate efforts outside the venue. IDAD is focusing on engaging consumers with on table browsers/displays in destination locations like restaurants, bars, hotels, and other consumer venues, thus creating a place-based media platform. IDAD enables advertisers to access their target audience in venues where they are captive, out-of-home, and ready to spend money. Unlike web browsers with ad blockers, mobile devices with pull interactive ads, or TV with DVR, IDAD places "browsers" on restaurant tabletops and in consumer venues where ads cannot be blocked.  Within this IDAD offers advertisers a targeted and measurable consumer interactive media vehicle they can customize by market and venue to assure the most efficient buy.  Consumers will be exposed to a combination of informational content (weather, news, sports scores, movie times etc.) restaurant promotions and menu offerings and advertising. IDAD provides advertisers all the benefits of online digital communication, the ability not just to deliver a static ad message, but also to engage their audience.

Bramasol Announces Customer Analytics and Retention Solution and Oracle Database Migration Program -- Both Offered in Support of SAP HANA®

Bramasol to showcase new solution at SAPPHIRE® NOW in Booth 2518

ORLANDO, Fla., May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bramasol, Inc., an SAP gold channel partner and provider of solutions and services focused on mid-to-large-sized companies, announced today during the SAPPHIRE® NOW conference continued development and focus around its practice in support of the SAP HANA® platform. Formally announced in early 2013, Bramasol's practice for SAP HANA includes:  services and offerings to support: migration of the SAP NetWeaver® Business Warehouse on Oracle databases to SAP HANA; running COPA (profitability analysis), materials requirement planning (MRP) and the SAP® 360 Customer solution in real-time using accelerators for SAP HANA; implementation and support of SAP Business Suite software powered by SAP HANA; and development of applications built on SAP HANA that leverage the revolutionary platform. Bramasol continues its momentum in support of SAP HANA with the launch of Bramasol's Customer Retention and Analytics solution and provides an overview of its Oracle Database Migration program.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121128/SF20464LOGO)

Bramasol's Customer Retention and Analytics solution was developed from the ground up to provide actionable insight in understanding customer retention and attrition for subscription-based model businesses. In this market, customer retention is one of the primary and highest concerns, as it only takes a few minutes to cancel a plan, move to another provider, or search for a better deal in the market. With this kind of churn, businesses struggle with designing timely offers, intervening at the moment of a services call, or circumventing the cancellation of a subscription. Bramasol's solution analyzes and visualizes the data, both structured and unstructured, to provide a comprehensive view of the customer. With this solution, businesses will have increased opportunities to deliver timely offers, incentives and packages that customers actually desire and value. Business leaders view insightful dashboards and reports to make real-time decisions, and can predict the financial implications and likely success of future campaigns before offers are presented to customers.

Bramasol delivers deep expertise for SAP applications and consolidation of landscapes for SAP HANA. Bramasol's Oracle Database Migration Program provides an end-to-end process that helps customers achieve the lowest risk and optimal performance for a cost-effective migration while defining the short and long-term value of SAP HANA for businesses.  This evaluation begins with Bramasol's transformation workshop that educates customers on the true business benefits of the SAP HANA platform. The workshop reveals how companies can benefit by moving from traditional database platforms such as Oracle Database and Engineered Systems to SAP HANA.  Next, Bramasol provides a business readiness assessment evaluating infrastructure, processes and code including the version and patch level of systems and other prerequisites. The readiness assessment is the foundation for developing strong business value use cases that are easily demonstrated in a proof of concept with the goal of delivering a long-term strategic roadmap. Finally, once a path has been chosen, Bramasol provides guidance for sizing requirements and software and then delivers the implementation including the planning/blueprint, execution, migration and go-live, knowledge transfer and support. Bramasol offers migration programs additionally for Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2.

"We recognize that SAP HANA is having a profound impact on the market and we have invested deeply in both solution development and staff expertise," said David Fellers, chief executive officer, Bramasol. "We are prepared to support new and existing customers and add differentiated value because of the depth and breadth of our capabilities and knowledge. We are thrilled to launch a new product into the market leveraging the power of SAP HANA and are demonstrating to customers very quickly how this can impact their bottom-line."

To learn more, visit Bramasol in booth 2518 at SAPPHIRE® NOW, being held May 14-16 in Orlando.

range of BRAVIA TVs, which together with the beautifully designed OptiContrast(TM) panel,
delivers a beautiful high quality viewing experience.

    The OptiContrast(TM) panel reduces reflections and provides clearer viewing, even in
bright sunlight, and creates a seamlessly black surface when the phone is turned off. By
eliminating the sensor layer and integrating the sensor on the lens, responsiveness of the
screen is increased, so now your touch is both more effective and more intuitive. And with
Sony's unique prediction filter to help better detect the movement of your finger,
scrolling on the Xperia ZR is reassuringly smooth.

    Early buyers will receive 10% customization on this report.

    This report studies the global healthcare information technology market (2012 to
2017).

    Healthcare IT has the potential to generate valuable information to improve workflow,
safety, and efficiency within healthcare organizations. The ability to capture, store,
exchange, and analyze medical information in electronic form will improve healthcare in
many ways. Healthcare IT provides benefits such as improved patient care, increased
engagement of patient in healthcare, improved population-based knowledge, development of
new tools for medicine, and augmented administrative efficiency.

    In this report, the HCIT market is segmented on the basis of its:

       
        - Application
        - Delivery Mode, and
        - Component

    The HCIT market, by application is segmented into provider (clinical information
technology and non-clinical information technology) and payer, while the market by
delivery mode is further categorized as on-premises, web-premises, and cloud-premises. The
healthcare information technology by component comprises of hardware, software, and
services.

    North America (U.S. and Canada) commanded the highest share of the Healthcare
Information Technology Market due to firm government support in terms of investment and
incentives, growing demand for integrated healthcare IT systems to achieve high return on
investment, growing patient consumerism for quality care and ensure safety, and rise in
aging population. President Obama's administration has spent $32 billion in 2012 on
electronic health records. In addition, the Obama administration has provided incentives
to implement EHR. For instance, in 2011, around 176,000 doctors registered for the
Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs, receiving a total of $2.5 billion in
incentives. However, the Asia-Pacific market is slated to grow at the highest CAGR as
healthcare organizations in the region are actively moving towards digitization to ensure
patient safety and care, and to streamline workflow systems in large healthcare
enterprises.

    In addition, growing healthcare cost in developed countries has strengthened the
growth of the Healthcare IT Market
[http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/healthcare-it-252.html ] in developing
countries such as India, Singapore and Thailand. Consequently, this results in migration
of patients to suitable medical tourism destinations, where medical cost is lower as
compared to their native regions. For instance, a hip replacement that costs $43,000 in
the U.S. could cost $12,000 in Singapore and just $9,000 in India, which encourages
patients to choose India as a medical destination. This increases the demand for HCIT
solutions to streamline workflow and manage patient information.

    The Key Players in the Market are:

       
        - McKesson Corporation (U.S.)
        - Epic (U.S.)
        - Cerner Corporation (U.S.)
        - Carestream Health Inc. (U.S.)

Patent Pending for Innovative Business Fleet Innovations on a Pioneering and First of it's Kind Technology, PEAK Mileage Capture Dongle

LONDON, May 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Fleet Innovations experts in fleet, mileage capture, development and consultancy has a
patent pending on the GPS dongle technology to help capture mileage.

    Managing director Alex Baker, of Fleet Innovations, has created a USB dongle that can
plug into a car's cigarette lighter and record journey information and currently has a
patent pending on the technology.

    The PEAK mileage capture dongle was developed to make mileage expense claiming fairer
and more accurate. Some small businesses and freelancers don't even bother completing
mileage claims but they take so long and tracking the actual business mileage is
difficult.

    For larger companies the benefits are enormous, with the PEAK mileage capture dongle
all claims are accurate so it eliminates overestimating of miles that can result in firms
being investigated by the HMRC and heavy fines being handed out. HMRC are directing
ever-greater resources towards tackling inaccurate business records, including mileage.
The current fine for getting it wrong is up to GBP18,000 per driver - with unpaid taxes
also payable on top.

    Alex Baker said: "We're trying to make the process of mileage expenses quick, simple
and accurate. The dongle is about the size of a USB memory stick.

    "You plug it in to the USB port or the cigarette lighter of a vehicle. Every time you
do a journey it just records where you drive."

    The dongle can then be plugged into a computer to download the information and drivers
can highlight which journeys they are claiming for, drivers can easily separate private
mileage so you just submit your business miles in your claim.

    Alex Baker added: "What would normally take about one hour, takes five minutes."

    "Mileage has always been the holy grail as it is such a difficult thing to capture.
Many businesses have started to use GPS technology by installing a black box in the car
but it's too Big Brother."

    Simon Mayo on BBC Radio Two, recently interviewed Alex Baker, on his Friday afternoon
show talking about his innovation.

    Alex added: "The total opportunity goes into millions. As long as you've got a
cigarette lighter, it will work."
