CarFinance.com Launches to Empower Credit-Challenged Car Shoppers

New direct online lender revolutionizes process for 36% of car buyers with less-than-prime credit: provides simple, paperless loans before buyers hit the lot

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CarFinance.com (http://www.carfinance.com) launches today with a mission to empower the more than 1 in 3[1] car buyers (36%) who have less-than-prime credit. Unlike other websites that promise to provide financing, only to then sell loan applicants' information elsewhere, CarFinance.com puts a check in hand. Its direct online loan application, timely approvals, helpful loan agents, and referrals to dealers who offer a 'no-hassle' experience are designed to improve the process for credit-challenged consumers. And finally, the financing process can be electronically completed from the comfort and privacy of one's home.

Led by an experienced team that built one of the first web-based U.S. consumer auto finance companies, CarFinance.com is a new time- and money-saving way for car shoppers to get their loans approved and ready to fund before hitting the dealership. The entire process is simple and paperless, and can happen in the same day, which means that shoppers of all credit types can walk into car dealerships with cash in pocket and their heads held high.

"These days consumers can accomplish pretty much everything on the Internet, but, until now, consumers with less-than-prime credit haven't been able to complete the entire loan process directly online," said CarFinance.com president and CEO Jim Landy. "While many websites imply they are real lenders because they provide an application, most are simply selling the consumer's private information elsewhere. CarFinance.com's direct lending process eliminates that obstacle, turning credit-challenged shoppers into cash buyers: newly empowered to select a vehicle online, because they know their price range - and at the dealership, because they don't get bogged down in the approval process or negotiating payment terms."

The site also arms consumers with finance research tools such as multiple, easy-to-use loan calculators and helpful financing tips and articles.

The CarFinance.com Difference:

    --  Simple, Secure, and Private: everything is completed online
    --  Speed and Support: quick credit decisions and one-on-one customer
        service
    --  No Strings Attached: no application fees, no obligation to use loan
    --  Focus on the Car, Not the Financing: simplifies the car shopping process
    --  Lender, Not Lead Broker: direct financing means consumer is not resold
        as a finance 'lead'
    --  Mid-market, Non-prime Credit: focus on buyers with 550-675 FICO scores
    --  Anonymity, Dignity and Security: personal info remains confidential,
        safe and secure
Loans for Less-than-Prime Car Shoppers Roaring Back:

CarFinance.com hits the market just when credit-challenged car shoppers - whose ranks swelled during the recent recession - need it most. During the downturn not only did 50 million people see their FICO scores plunge by more than 20 points,[2] the number of approved, non-prime auto loans also plummeted: from pre-recession approval rates of 60%, to only 5-9% across 2009-2010,[3] leaving this vast population woefully under-served. Today, nearly half of all Americans (47%) fall into the less-than-prime (sub-670 FICO score) credit category,[4] but thankfully, credit to this car shopper is seriously loosening: new-vehicle loans made to below-prime customers increased 22% in 2011 over 2010.[1]

Consumers Save Money - and Are Far More Satisfied - With Direct Lending

Consumers can realize distinct advantages from online direct auto financing. Independent research has shown that car buyers who arrive at the dealership with direct, pre-approved lending can save significant money and enjoy a better buying experience. Meanwhile, twice as many direct, upfront financed car buyers are 'delighted' with their lending experience compared with dealer-arranged financing. And they can save precious time: consumers, on average, spend an hour in the F&I department, versus a few minutes online with CarFinance.com.

"Many credit-challenged consumers have been reluctant to even think about buying a vehicle because an anonymous and efficient financing process wasn't available," said Landy.  "But with CarFinance.com all the uncomfortable issues are removed from the process - no more sitting face-to-face in the dealer's finance department explaining your past financial problems, where you work or live, and how much money you make. Now that this can all take place privately online, it turns once-hesitant consumers into eager car buyers."

The Irvine, CA-based CarFinance.com is initially offering auto financing in 14 states, and will roll out nationwide in the coming months.

About CarFinance.com

CarFinance.com's (http://www.carfinance.com) management has helped hundreds of thousands of consumers with less-than-perfect credit purchase a quality, late-model vehicle. Its mission is to empower the growing ranks of less-than-prime new and used car shoppers by providing an anonymous time- and money-saving way to get their car loan pre-approved before they hit the dealership. Through CarFinance.com car shoppers can apply for a new or used car loan, or lower their existing car loan payments through refinancing, from the comfort of home - and because the entire process is completed online, personal information is kept private, safe and secure. CarFinance.com enables car shoppers to walk into the dealership with cash in pocket and their heads held high, and secure a better deal by confidently negotiating price as "cash buyers." The site also provides consumers with easy-to-use finance empowerment tools and content, such as calculators, articles, tips and advice.

CarFinance.com is led by the team that built Triad Financial, one of the largest U.S. auto finance companies, and is headquartered in Irvine, California.

Radical Entertainment® and Dark Horse Join Forces to Unleash the Ultimate Shape-Shifting Comic Series

All-New Comic Series Bridges the Enigmatic Conclusion of the Original PROTOTYPE® and the Action-Packed Beginning of PROTOTYPE®2

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Radical Entertainment, the creators behind one of 2012's most anticipated open-world/action games - PROTOTYPE 2 - and Dark Horse Comics, the leading publisher of gaming comics and graphic novels, have joined forces to create an all-new comic series set in the PROTOTYPE universe.  With the game due out April 24, 2012 from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), fans looking for a jumpstart at getting a deeper look into the world of PROTOTYPE 2 should keep an eye out for this exciting collaboration launching February 15, 2012.

The all-new digital comic series will be broken into three original stories that bridge the gap between the original blockbuster game and the highly anticipated sequel, PROTOTYPE 2.  The first entry, "The Anchor," illustrated by Paco Diaz, continues the story of Alex Mercer, the protagonist from the first game, while the second story, "The Survivors," illustrated by Chris Staggs, follows a small group of residents of New York trying to escape the city after it has been transformed into NYZ with the outbreak of the Blacklight virus.  The third and final story, illustrated by Victor Drujiniu, is "The Labyrinth" and provides fans a deeper look into the backstory of PROTOTYPE 2's new protagonist, Sgt. James Heller.  Each comic in the series will be available at Digital.Darkhorse.com every other week beginning February 15, 2012.

"We're always looking for meaningful ways to expand the PROTOTYPE universe, and Dark Horse Comics is an industry-leading creative powerhouse delivering best-in-class graphic storytelling that integrates deeply to the core of our IP," said Ken Rosman, Studio Head, Radical Entertainment.  "With this partnership, our fans will finally be given answers to some dramatic loose ends from the first PROTOTYPE game, as well as the truth behind Alex Mercer's descent and evolution into a twisted shadow of his former self for PROTOTYPE 2."

"Sgt. James Heller's heart wrenching backstory meshed with the sheer amount of over-the-top shape-shifting action in PROTOTYPE 2 lend themselves perfectly to a comic book series," said Dave Marshall, Editor, Dark Horse Comics.  "We worked extremely close with Radical Entertainment's story team for PROTOTYPE 2, and can't wait to visually walk fans through the many dark secrets strewn throughout the tattered world of New York Zero!"

The sequel to Radical Entertainment's best-selling open-world action game of 2009, PROTOTYPE 2 takes the unsurpassed carnage of the original PROTOTYPE and continues the experience of becoming the ultimate shape-shifting weapon.  As the game's all-new infected protagonist, Sgt. James Heller, players will cut a bloody swathe through the wastelands of post-viral New York Zero with unparalleled locomotion, building up a vast genetic arsenal of deadly, biological weapons and abilities as they hunt, kill and consume their way toward the ultimate goal - to kill... Alex... Mercer!

e-Image Data Announces Launch of ScanPro 3000, Pre-Orders Available

HARTFORD, Wis., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- e-Image Data Corporation announced today the launch of a new addition to the best-selling ScanPro product line. The company will accept pre-orders for the ScanPro 3000, the latest innovation in micrographics technology, beginning March 1(st). It features a 21 megapixel camera, the highest optical resolution on the market, which will provide customers with exceptional image quality never before seen in the micrographics industry.

"Microforms hold unique content not found elsewhere, from rare source materials to private documents," says James Westoby, president, e-Image Data.

Fujitsu Unveils Next Generation, High Performance Workgroup Scanners

Faster Scanning Speeds, Central Administration Capabilities, Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF), Enhanced Paper Protection Technology and Latest Kofax® VRS® Professional Software Highlight Industry Leading Workgroup Scanners

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today introduced the next generation of its high performance workgroup scanning solutions, including the Fujitsu fi-6130Z, fi-6140Z, fi-6230Z, and fi-6240Z. The new scanners continue to elevate the unmatched performance and innovative document imaging features of their best-in-class predecessors - the top-selling Fujitsu fi-6130, fi-6140, fi-6230 and fi-6240.

The new Fujitsu fi-6140Z and fi-6240Z (flatbed model) scanners deliver top-rated scanning speeds of 60 ppm / 120 ipm at 200 dpi (color, grayscale, monochrome), and the Fujitsu fi-6130Z and fi-6230Z (flatbed model) provide 40 ppm / 80 ipm at 200 dpi. Moreover, Fujitsu has equipped the new high performance, distributed and front-office document scanners with intelligent features and functionality allowing customers to boost automation, productivity and efficiency including:

    --  Scanner Central Admin: The new centralized administration functionality
        dramatically reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) and work that
        goes into setting up, operating and maintaining multiple Fujitsu
        scanners in an organization. This new feature allows users to monitor
        scanner running status, update scanner drivers, check consumable status,
        and more, all over a network, from one location.
    --  Intelligent Multi-Feed Function (iMFF): iMFF provides instant detection
        of a multi-feed or multilayer document, such as taped-on receipts or
        sticky notes added to a document. This technology allows users to remain
        productive under demanding scanning conditions while also preserving the
        benefits of the scanner's ultrasonic double-feed detection to secure
        against lost images.
    --  Enhanced Paper Protection: A new advanced encoder inside the document
        feeder analyzes each passing sheet and stops scanner operation when an
        irregularity is detected during a page feed, helping to avoid document
        damage and increase pre and post scan operational efficiency.
"The latest high performance workgroup scanners added to our line of document imaging solutions look to continue the company's product evolution and innovation in the workgroup segment," said Scott Francis, vice president of marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Fujitsu has always focused on delivering the best solutions that address the changing needs of our customers. The new fi-series workgroup product line looks to continue the success of their predecessors which have sold over 1.5 million units worldwide."

"Fujitsu is the document imaging market leader in terms of unit shipments and revenues and has maintained this distinction for a long time due to its ability to continually introduce scanning solutions equipped with the latest features and functionality," said Anne Valaitis, Associate Director at InfoTrends. "Distributed scanning continues to be a sweet spot for the document imaging industry and the new line of scanners from Fujitsu is a welcome addition for organizations that are moving to a more distributed, decentralized business process."

New Ways to Scan, Upgraded Software Bundles

The Fujitsu fi-6130Z, fi-6140Z, fi-6230Z, and fi-6240Z scanners integrate the latest innovative scanning features and applications and conveniently include everything in the box to get organizations up and scanning quickly and easily. Additional key features of the new high performance workgroup scanners include:

    --  Kofax® VRS® 5.0 Professional: The new version of Kofax VRS
        Professional reduces the time involved in manual document preparation
        and enhances the quality of scanned images, dramatically improving both
        manual scanning productivity and the efficiency of document capture
        processes. Kofax VRS Professional greatly improves the accuracy of OCR
        (Optical Character Recognition) document data extraction and provide
        customers with enhanced scanning functionality including automatic color
        detection, image orientation, paper deskew, paper size detection and
        blank page detection/removal.
    --  Enhanced Version of ScandALL PRO Batch Scanning and PDF Edit Software:
        The automatic job separation function of ScandALL PRO V2.0 uses divider
        sheets with printed barcodes and patch codes to sort image data from
        multiple page feeds into user-defined units. This function has been
        enhanced to recognize a wider range of 1D barcodes (linear barcodes),
        allowing for a broader range of sorting possibilities for output image
        files. ScandALL PRO V2.0 Premium, bundled exclusively with fi-6140Z and
        fi-6240Z, features job separation using 2D barcodes (matrix codes) and
        is available as an option to fi-6130Z and fi-6230Z users.
    --  Advanced Hard Card and Non-Traditional Document Support: The new models
        allow for the use of a carrier sheet for digitizing a variety of
        document types such as large paper sizes (up to A3), ultra thin or small
        documents, magazine pages and photos. The scanners are also equipped
        with enhanced embossed card scanning capability, such as plastic ID
        cards and insurance cards (up to 1.4mm thick), and allow feeding of up
        to three hard cards in either landscape or portrait orientation through
        its 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF).
    --  Post Imprinter: The new models offer a post imprinter option for users
        with demanding document management and verification needs. The imprinter
        unit prints identification markers like dates, alphanumeric codes and
        symbols on the reverse side of the original document. This makes it
        easier to locate the original scanned document when needed for
        reference.
    --  "ScanSnap Mode" Function: The new "ScanSnap Mode" gives users that
        prefer the "one-button," driverless experience of the award-winning line
        of ScanSnap scanners an alternative ad-hoc approach to being productive
        through scanning.

DynamicOps Reports Record 300% Increase in Customer Adoption in 2011; Tripled Private Cloud Bookings

Need for Scale and Speed Spur Demand for DynamicOps Cloud Automation and Management Solutions

BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DynamicOps, pioneer of the Operations Virtualization(TM) platform that enables unified cloud automation and management, today announced record new customer adoption in 2011, as well as a substantial increase in private cloud solution sales. DynamicOps attributes these results to a burgeoning cloud market and enterprises' desire to build and scale complex private clouds as quickly and easily as possible.

"Many enterprises are finding that cloud implementations take a lot more time and money than they had planned, and don't deliver the ROI they had expected. These companies are increasingly turning to DynamicOps because we enable the fastest time-to-cloud value and the greatest IT efficiencies," said Richard Krueger, CEO for DynamicOps. "This is evident in our 2011 results, which show not only unprecedented new customer growth, but also a dramatic increase in the portion of software license bookings compared to services and a major acceleration in days-to-live-production. This is a direct result of our expanded, robust out-of-the-box capabilities and how easy we make it for customers to quickly deploy and, when needed, extend and tailor their own requirements."

"Interest in private cloud is high because of the speed and agility that it promises. However, in order to realize these benefits, enterprises must be able to easily transition to and manage the infrastructure," said Rachel Chalmers, Research Director, Infrastructure Management for 451 Group. "DynamicOps is intriguing because it can help companies get out of the gate with an enterprise-scale private cloud that can be used by employees business-wide, without having to rip and replace existing systems, standardize on new technologies, or embark on a lengthy services engagement."

Highlights of DynamicOps achievements in 2011

    --  Growth:  DynamicOps made significant inroads with new customers,
        including Turner Broadcasting, NYU Medical Center, Northeastern
        University, Telereal Trillium, Northrup Grumman, Price Waterhouse
        Coopers, Intracom Telecom, BAE, Verizon, Ernst & Young and NASDAQ. It
        realized a record 300% increase in new customers--including many of the
        Fortune 100--while about half of existing customers expanded their
        implementations. The company reported that 75% of its revenue was
        derived from private cloud solutions--for which bookings tripled over
        2010--and the remainder was from desktop cloud solutions. To handle
        burgeoning demand for its products, DynamicOps boosted its number of
        employees by 25%.
    --  Industry Accolades:  Key industry influencers recognized DynamicOps' for
        its innovation and leadership in cloud computing. DynamicOps won "Best
        of VMworld 2011 Gold Award for Private Cloud Computing" and the "UP 2011
        Overall Most Innovative Cloud Computing Provider: Audience Choice." It
        also was named "2011 Cool Vendor in Cloud Management" by Gartner and
        called out in Everything Channel's "CRN Virtualization 100" listing.
    --  Partnerships:  DynamicOps realized strong results from its multi-year
        licensing and distribution agreement with Dell, in which the DynamicOps
        platform is a foundation of Dell's Virtual Integrated System. The
        company also teamed with Microsoft on initiatives such as the 2011
        Microsoft Private Cloud Road Show and launched its new Partner Program
        for solution and consulting providers, signing on strategic partners in
        North America and Europe, including Ahead, PAR 4 Technology Group,
        Gotham Technology Group, Strickland Consulting and Stoneburn.
    --  Product expansion:  The company launched the DynamicOps Cloud
        Development Kit(TM), the industry's only solution for rapidly deploying
        and extending a user-centric private cloud. DynamicOps also introduced
        the concept of Operations Virtualization, the foundation of DynamicOps
        Cloud Automation Center. DynamicOps also enhanced its platform with
        support for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) as well as expanded
        support for the physical and virtual resources comprising a cloud
        infrastructure, and the technologies that enterprises rely on--including
        Cisco UCS, Dell and HP Servers, Citrix XenDesktop 5, BMC BladeLogic,
        Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, and VMware vSphere 5.
    --  Funding: To fund expanded global sales, marketing and development
        initiatives, DynamicOps closed a B round of venture funding for $11
        million. The round was led by Sierra Ventures. Next World Capital
        participated, joining Credit Suisse's Next II venture group in
        ownership. The company also secured $5 million in funding from Intel
        Capital.

Banorte and Rev Launch MiFon, First Out-of-the-Branch Mobile-Based Financial Services Program Aimed at Millions of Underserved Mexicans

Country's Only Deposit Account Not Requiring a Branch Visit to Open, Offers Card Payments, Deposits and Money Transfers with Mobile Phones, Bank Accounts, and A Nationwide Network of Bank Agents

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Banorte, Mexico's third largest bank, and Rev Worldwide, a payment solutions company, announced the launch of a new financial services program explicitly designed to foster financial inclusion among individuals with limited access to basic financial services, leveraging non-traditional channels of acquisition, proprietary mobile payments technology and a robust debit card program platform.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111109/DA01854LOGO-b)

Banorte's strategic alliance with Rev Worldwide has delivered a unique program that combines a deposit account with the bank linked to a MasterCard debit card, with unique mobile payments functionality open to Mexico's leading carriers, and a nationwide network of bank agents including Telecomm Telegrafos, a government operated retail agent network offering communication and financial services to Mexicans nationwide.

On the launch of this program, Hector Abrego, Senior Vice President of Alternate Channels with Grupo Financiero Banorte, stated, "MiFon will become Banorte's key program to increase the penetration of banking services in our country.  It will allow a large segment of Mexicans who still do not have access to financial services to get close to a bank for the very first time."

Roy Sosa, CEO of Rev Worldwide, added, "MiFon represents our company's mission to empower customers worldwide with the affordable and relevant financial services they need, taking our best practices from around the world and many years of product development in this area."

In addition to enjoying the benefits of MasterCard acceptance across a network of over 30 million merchants and hundreds of thousands of ATMs worldwide, MiFon users will also be able to withdraw funds at any of the more than 6,200 Banorte ATMs, and send money from one account to another one using their mobile phone. Gradually, a variety of new services will be introduced, including mobile top-ups.

All mobile functionalities will be available via SMS text messages given that this technology is widely used by most Mexicans. The first stage of the launch, jointly with Telecomm Telegrafos, will start this month in the State of Oaxaca, and will be rolled out nationally during the first quarter of 2012.

With this new program, Banorte and Rev ratify their commitment to deliver financial services to all Mexicans.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120117/NY36576 )

Six companies, including MLB.com and Bloomberg Sports, have signed on as initial Fantasy Platform partners and will have free and/or premium apps available when CBSSports.com's Fantasy Baseball product, featuring the new "CBSSports.com App Central," launches on Jan. 31.

The CBSSports.com Fantasy Platform Development Center is now live for developers and companies to visit and see how their products and services can be shared with millions of highly engaged fantasy sports players. The Fantasy Platform offers developers a comprehensive set of APIs providing access to nearly all the data within CBSSports.com Fantasy Games and everything needed in order to build a customized fantasy app. The Fantasy Platform Development Center is located at: developer.cbssports.com

The Fantasy Platform announcement was made by Jason Kint, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CBSSports.com, at the 2012 Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) Winter Business Conference in Las Vegas.

"The way people play fantasy sports has dramatically changed over the last ten years with players using a ton more tools and products produced by a growing number of businesses," said Kint. "Providing outside developers access to our proprietary service will benefit the entire fantasy industry ecosystem, creating additional value for companies, developers and advertisers while consolidating and enhancing the experience for fantasy players."

With the Fantasy Platform, the millions of dedicated fantasy sports players at CBSSports.com can integrate products and services from across the industry directly into their fantasy game experience. By using these free and premium apps to access the Fantasy Platform, players will not only have all their tools and resources in one central location, they'll have these products and services built directly into CBSSports.com's fantasy sports games--leading to more efficient decision making and enhanced enjoyment.

Details about the initial Fantasy Platform launch partners and the apps they plan to offer are as follows:

Advanced Sports Media: Producer of the award-winning Draft Analyzer software, Advanced Sports Media (ASM) is focused on developing innovative software applications that help customers compete more effectively in their Fantasy Sports leagues. For the Fantasy Platform, ASM will be producing two applications: The Draft Analyzer App provides users with personalized and completely customizable draft pick advice while the Auction Analyzer App provides users with personalized bidding advice for auction leagues and is again, completely customizable with all league settings.

Bloomberg Sports: Established in 2010, Bloomberg Sports has quickly become a worldwide leader in the development of state of the art data analytic tools for both professional sports organizations and fantasy sports enthusiasts.  For the Fantasy Platform, Bloomberg Sports will be developing apps around their consumer products, "Front Office" (baseball) and "Decision Maker" (football), designed for fans interested in improving their fantasy play or for following their favorite players more closely throughout the course of the season.

MLB.com: MLB.com, the official Web site of Major League Baseball, powers MLB.TV, the Internet's most prolific live video subscription product. For the Fantasy Platform, MLB.com will be building an app that allows MLB.TV subscribers to watch their fantasy baseball teams live through a customizable experience whereby users automatically will see the live game with the most relevant action to their fantasy teams. Launching in time for the 2012 season, the app will also allow a fantasy user that chooses to watch any live MLB game to be presented with statistical data as to how on-the-field play will impact the user's fantasy baseball team as it happens.

RotoWire: RotoWire.com is a leading content and technology provider to fantasy sports consumers and major media companies. For the Fantasy Platform, RotoWire will develop a content application around its real-time player news and in-depth player profiles to help fantasy players make the most timely and informed roster decisions possible.

StatSheet: A subsidiary of Automated Insights, Inc., StatSheet automatically transforms sports statistics into compelling narrative content, visual displays and interactive applications. For the Fantasy Platform, StatSheet will be developing "StatSmack," the ultimate fantasy trash talking application which leverages StatSheet's next-generation technology to arm managers with fully personalized, statistical data and trash talk that will empirically show why their team is better and why they are the better manager.

Ziguana: Ziguana brings powerful algorithms to the average fantasy manager through a simple user-friendly interface. For the Fantasy Platform, Ziguana will be releasing the "Forecaster" app which calculates a team's probability of winning weekly matchups and makes day-to-day recommendations customized to specific league settings. For those tired of the tedium of setting their lineup, Ziguana's "Lineup Auto-Pilot" app automatically optimizes and sets a team's lineup each day. Ziguana will also be offering a 2012 MLB Projections app.

"CBSSports.com's Fantasy Platform will allow us to build customizable, live experiences as we continue to develop fun ways for our fans to play fantasy baseball and follow the on-the-field action," said Kenny Gersh, SVP, Business Development, MLB.com. "These new integrations into MLB.TV will deliver an original and exciting approach for our subscribers to watch their fantasy baseball teams live throughout 2012."

"We are very pleased to be able to partner with CBSSports.com on this new platform, and bring what we know is the best tool for the casual or die-hard fantasy sports player, 'Bloomberg Front Office,' to a much wider audience," said Bill Squadron, head of Bloomberg Sports.

SportsLine.com, now CBSSports.com, was one of the earliest companies in the fantasy industry, offering innovative fantasy products and services beginning in 1996. Using the Commissioner.com fantasy platform (acquired in 1999), CBSSports.com's fantasy sports products and games have been some of the most popular in the industry and have won eight of the past ten FSTA awards for best Fantasy Commissioner Product.

3 Scandinavia Selects Aptilo Networks for 3G and LTE Service Delivery

For Rapid Time-to-Market of New Services

STOCKHOLM and LONDON, January 17, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Aptilo Networks, a leading provider of systems to manage mobile data servicesfor
Wi-Fi, WiMAX and 3G/LTE networks, including mobile data offloading, announced today that
Aptilo's Policy Manager solution has been selected by 3 Scandinavia as the core component
for their 3G and LTE (4G) mobile broadband service delivery.

    (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20110830/477770-a )

    The Aptilo Policy Manager goes beyond the scope of a standard PCRF (Policy Charging
and Rules Function) with the addition ofa built-in repository for subscriber data and
policy definitions as well aspolicy-based IPconfiguration and routing control.The system
is designed to be flexible to allow 3 Scandinavia to add unique, dynamic service
configurationsthatcan be constantly modified according to the needs of their customers,
with minimal cost and effort.

    "Aptilo demonstrated a thorough understanding of our needs within the policy and IP
management domains. Their innovative approach and flexibility will allow us to keep on
delivering a multitude of data services effectively to our customers," said Jorgen
Askeroth, CTO, 3 Scandinavia. "Aptilo's track record of overall responsibility also
ensures quality operations of the delivered solution."

    The Aptilo Policy Manager is built on the new Aptilo Service Management Platform(TM)
ALE architecture in which functionality is divided into three distinct layers: amanagement
layerfor configuration and monitoring, a control layer for protocol-level interactions
with external systems and an execution layerfor application logic processing.

    The different layers can be distributed over several industry-standard hardware server
nodes to increase capacity where it is needed most and obtain high availability including
geographic redundancy and distribution.

    The control layer runs a number of protocol adapters that facilitate interoperability
with the required set of external systems. These protocol adapters include RADIUS,
Diameter, BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), SOAP/XML and SNMP.New adapters are introduced as
needed to implement new or modified relationships with external systems.

    The policy decisions made in the execution layer - according to rule sets designed and
configured by the operator - are based on a combination of data received from a
configurable set of external provisioning systems, real-time data received from the
production network and the accumulated status of ongoing sessions. It then triggers
actions toward external systems such as packet core gateways and DPI (Deep Packet
Inspection)nodes to enforce the policy decisions.

    The highly flexible architecture, both in terms of adding new interfaces and protocols
as well as new business logic by the means of a simple configuration, makes the Aptilo
Policy Manager ideal for mobile broadband operations where rapid time-to-market of new
services is critical.

    The Aptilo Policy Manager allows the operator to exercise detailed control over the
flow of traffic as well as the amount of resources that are allocated to and consumed by
end-users.

    "We did not want to come to market as just another PCRF. That is why we added
subscriber management, highly flexible protocol adaptors, policy-based IP configuration
and routing control to our Policy Manager. We call this advanced functionality PCRF+,"
said Torbjorn Ward, CEO, Aptilo Networks. "Furthermore, as our Policy Manager is built on
the Aptilo Service Management platform, it can easily be expanded with additional
functions such as portal management and charging."

RiT CenterMind DCIM Solution Centralizes Management of Network and Infrastructure Data Center Assets

New DCIM Solution Set to Slash Costs, Reduce Downtime and Automate Laborious Provisioning, Network Planning, Implementation and Operational Tasks

TEL AVIV, Israel, January 17, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    RiT Technologies (NASDAQ: RITT) today launched the RiT CenterMind(TM) Solution, a new
approach to data center infrastructure management [http://www.rittech.com/rit_centermind ]
(DCIM), which enables data center managers to optimize performance through a real-time
consolidated view of data center IT assets, connectivity, power and environmental
conditions.

    The RiT CenterMind Solution presents a major shift in the DCIM sector. Through a
single solution, it monitors and manages the high volume and array of information in
today's resource-hungry data centers. With thousands of discrete sensors and control
points to be monitored and increasing pressure for higher server density, energy
efficiency and more capacity, data center managers need a comprehensive, integrated DCIM
approach to deliver the service levels their customers demand.

    The RiT CenterMind Solution combines environment, power, connectivity and security
management, so eliminating the need for complex and costly integration. In addition, by
automating laborious provisioning and network planning, data center managers can increase
efficiency, reduce downtime and improve service.

    Each module of the RiT CenterMind Solution offers class-leading features and combined,
they form a comprehensive DCIM approach through four core components:

   
    - CenterMind management software
    - CenterMind G+ to optimize environment conditions
    - CenterMind P+ for improved power consumption monitoring and control
    - PatchView(TM), the market-leading intelligent infrastructure management
      hardware to increase utilization of networked assets.

    Information from each module feeds into the RiT CenterMind management software to
enable proactive operations management across the entire data center. The software
provides clear, actionable information from the mass of data available about connectivity,
services, capacity, security, power and environmental conditions.

    RiT Technologies first introduced the data center industry to the concept of
intelligent connectivity management, and has now entered the DCIM sector with a single
platform, giving an online, real-time, centralized and intuitive view of all data center
assets wherever they are located - whether in the next building or around the world.

    Ben Carmi, VP of Product Management and Business Development of RiT Technologies
commented: "Already working in many organizations across the world, RiT has incorporated
years of experience in control, security and management into the RiT CenterMind Solution.
We are the market leaders in the intelligent infrastructure management sector and with RiT
CenterMind Solution, we are bringing a new level of control, efficiency, agility and
security to the mission-critical data center."

    RiT CenterMind Solution is designed to deliver a clear and measurable ROI, with
benefits including:

   
    - Improved data center management through centralized command and control of
      all infrastructure elements
    - Enhanced agility, enabling the data center to keep pace with dynamic business
      developments
    - Enhanced planning capabilities due to the improved visibility of current data
      and sophisticated tools for predicting future usage; this enables the data center to
      do more with less, resulting in a significant savings of CAPEX
    - Providing a centralized up-to-date and reliable data source, which reduces
      OPEX by eliminating the need for physical audits before performing changes in the data
      center
    - Full visibility of existing IT and infrastructure assets - what they are and
      where they are located
    - Optimized power consumption and an improved environmental profile
    - Enhanced troubleshooting capabilities through real-time connectivity status
      and alerting systems
    - Dramatically reduced risk of human error

    Available immediately, full details of RiT CenterMind Solution are on RiT's new

Altair Semiconductor Completes LTE Band Class 14 Interoperability Testing with Alcatel-Lucent

Commercial Ready Chipset and Software Solution Positions Company for Growth in the North American Public Safety Market

HOD HA'SHARON, Israel, January 17, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), a leading developer of
ultra-low power, small footprint and high performance 4G LTE chipsets
[http://www.altair-semi.com/fourgee-31006200 ], today announced that its FourGee-3100/6200
[http://www.altair-semi.com/fourgee-31006200 ] chipset has successfully completed Band 14
interoperability testing with Alcatel-Lucent infrastructure.

    Band 14 spectrum, which is in the 700 MHz frequency, has been allocated by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) for public safety broadband use in the United States.
Public safety broadband solutions over LTE will enable first responders, such as fire and
police departments and medical personnel, to quickly and reliably communicate with each
other and share vital information over high-speed, wireless networks.

    "This achievement with Alcatel-Lucent places Altair in a unique position as we are one
of the only chip companies with a commercial Band 14 chipset, and the first chip company
to complete comprehensive Band 14 testing with Alcatel-Lucent," said Eran Eshed,
Co-Founder and VP of Marketing and Business Development at Altair Semiconductor. "The
public safety market is very strategic for Altair, and as a pioneer in this space, we
expect to significantly capitalize on its growth in the coming years."

    Alcatel-Lucent was the first network equipment manufacturer to showcase a commercial
grade LTE network operating in the Band 14 spectrum, and it continues to lead the
development of an LTE ecosystem of devices and applications in support of public safety.

    "Compatible communications systems will enable America's first responders to be much
more effective in protecting the public during emergency situations," said Morgan Wright,
Vice President for End to End Public Safety LTE at Alcatel-Lucent. "Alcatel-Lucent is
eager to collaborate with innovative companies such as Altair to create the communications
ecosystem public safety organizations need to carry out their vital duties of keeping
communities safe."

    Altair's FourGee-3100/6200 [http://www.altair-semi.com/fourgee-31006200 ] chipset
supports both FDD and TDD variants using single software, and covers any LTE frequency
band in the range between 700-2700MHz. The chipset implements a high performance MIMO

terminal vendor, selected Altair's chipset for integration in its Public Safety LTE
terminal products.

DediPower Managed Hosting's Personal Touch Wins Over Empresa

READING, England, January 17, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

               Passion for service shines through to secure over 50% of hosting

                        business from creative IT solutions provider.

    Cloud and Managed Hosting expert, DediPower is on a winning streak with Empresa, an IT
provider that exploits the latest technologies to produce effective internet, Cloud and
software solutions for a diverse base of business, commercial and public sector clients.

    A trusted supplier to Internet Geeks, which was acquired by Empresa over a year ago,
DediPower originally handled only a small amount of the company's hosting needs. Thanks to
its proactive highly personal approach, strong client focus and technical excellence, it
now services over 50% of Empresa's core business and is its managed hosting partner of
choice for new clients.

    Andrew Fulcher, Technical Director at Empresa, comments: "As a business, one of our
strengths is our diverse customer base. That makes it difficult to find a hosting provider
that fits our entire portfolio. We have, however, been impressed by the way that DediPower
has responded consistently to our demands; delivering the skills, approach and support we
need to ensure our clients have a robust reliable platform to run their websites, CRM
systems and other mission critical IT processes. Consequently we are putting more and more
business DediPower's way."

    He adds: "There are many hosting providers out there, all offering similar services
and systems. What makes DediPower different is the way it supports and handles our
business - whether it's a dedicated client server or a multi-tenanted system. They take
time out to get to know us, our challenges and our customers. Our DediPower contacts are
friendly, approachable and consistent. They have visited us, understand us and give
valuable consultancy advice."

    Mark Howling, CEO of DediPower, comments: "Like many of our clients, Empresa has
considerable IT experience. When it comes to hosting, they know exactly what they want and
are prepared to shop around to get it. It's DediPower's aim to make sure they never have
to. For us, it's all about managing the relationship with assiduous service and
outstanding technical support. Empresa trusts and relies on us - we take that seriously.
As a result, our business with them continues to grow."

On Top of the Cloud - Analyzes the Impact of Mobile, Social and Cloud Computing on Enterprise IT Strategy in Modern Global Markets

WESTPORT, Conn., Jan. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Genuinely transformational CIOs leverage new and innovative technologies to drive business growth and accelerate the pace of change to create and sustain competitive advantages in rapidly changing markets.

The book is written for everyone with a stake in the success of modern IT strategies in a global economy."

Muller's research examines key issues facing modern CIOs in competitive markets, and presents detailed solutions for contemporary business challenges such as growing revenue, improving customer satisfaction, responding to customer needs, opening new markets, optimizing business processes, hiring the right mix of talent, managing resources, driving transformation and leading innovation across the enterprise.
