Beintoo Wins LeWeb 2011 Best Startup Competition - Further Extends Gamification Platform to Mobile App Developers with Appcelerator Partnership

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Beintoo (http://www.beintoo.com), a gamification platform for mobile app developers that brings game mechanics, real-world coupons and advertising channels to a scalable ecosystem of mobile apps, was selected as the winning startup at LeWeb in Paris earlier this month. Beintoo was also one of the hand-picked vendors to distribute its self-service gamification SDK in Appcelerator's launch of the Open Mobile Marketplace, which provides mobile app components and services to their 1.6 million developers. This partnership extends the reach of Beintoo, which is already serving nearly one million active daily users of popular mobile apps including Fruit Ninja, Asteroid Defense, and Heroes Battle.

Beintoo is building a community around the idea that gamification and engagement is accessible to smaller developers of mobile apps. The SDK allows developers to select from a number of socially oriented game mechanics including achievements, leaderboards, social graph, messaging, challenges and rewards - and customize the experience to unite users across the app ecosystem. With Beintoo, challenges are extended across multiple apps so that users are encouraged to try new apps they may like. Users can play alone or form alliances with other players to earn Bedollars and Bepoints, which can be redeemed for both virtual and real-world rewards, such as free music downloads, discounts at a favorite restaurant or a free spa day.

Also new to Beintoo today are sponsored missions and achievements.  With this new feature, developers can host sponsored achievements, embedded into the missions of their apps as well as other hosted apps, creating a true cross-app marketing and monetization experience.

"The business model is simple," said Antonio Tomarchio, CEO and co-founder of Beintoo. "Don't charge publishers or developers and allow sponsored missions to increase developer engagement, distribution and exploit monetization at all ends. We are replacing the old pay per download model and creating a true pay-per-engagement model that benefits everyone."

Since the launch of Beintoo in April 2011, the company has defined its niche in the gamification space, and is already reaching 25 million users worldwide. Beintoo has secured more than 200 partnerships with developers of all sizes - including Deonn Games, Olive Media and Halfbrick Studios, known for one of 2011's most downloaded games, Fruit Ninja. Beintoo created a rewards layer within the Fruit Ninja app whereby users compete for the highest score, and earn tangible redeemable rewards through local and national offers.

About Beintoo

Beintoo, an Italian company founded in 2010, has created a gamification platform for mobile apps that feeds into a true app ecosystem based on engagement, sharing, and rewards. Launched in April 2011, the Beintoo community of nearly one million members can share experiences, form alliances and complete cross-app challenges to earn real world rewards.

Powered By Nine® Awarded U.S. Patent, Acquired by Imation Corp.

Global leader acquires data backup and recovery software to boost scalable storage offerings

MIDDLEBORO, Mass., Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Nine Technology, an industry leader in data backup and recovery solutions, today announced that the technology that operates the Powered By Nine® platform was awarded a U.S. patent for its innovative merger of two-stage, block-level deduplication and encryption. The patent and technology were subsequently acquired, along with certain other Nine Technology assets, by Imation Corp., a leading global technology company. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100406/NE80983LOGO )

The robust and efficient data backup and recovery services that Nine Technology has offered its channel partners since April 2010 will not be interrupted; managed service providers and value-added resellers currently offering Powered By Nine® solutions will benefit from Imation's resources as development on the software continues. Channel partners will remain clients of Nine Technology, and the Powered By Nine® infrastructure on which their customers' data is stored will remain the property of Nine Technology.

"In the two years that Powered By Nine® has been active in the marketplace, the technology has repeatedly been proven faster, more efficient and more comprehensive than other options," said Tom Gelson, founder and former CEO of Nine Technology. "Imation's acquisition of the intellectual property and other assets will strengthen our efforts to develop Powered By Nine® into the strongest data backup and recovery solution available. I want to thank the many channel partners who have supported Nine Technology and assure them that their businesses and their customers will continue to enjoy the benefits of working with our team."

Imation and Nine Technology first partnered in October 2010, when Imation announced the use of RDX technology as a cloud seeding device for Powered By Nine® data backup. Nine Technology will continue to support RDX-based cloud seeding for Powered By Nine® PRO users.

"Scalable storage for SMBs is a major growth opportunity for Imation, and Nine Technology's patented solution complemented our roadmap in several ways," said Ian Williams, Imation vice president, global marketing and product management. "We're eager to coordinate the continued development of the software with our team and with Nine Technology as a strategic partner."

Following the acquisition, Gelson and CTO Alex Stoev will join Imation to help coordinate the continued development of Powered By Nine® and as key additions to the company's scalable storage team. This month, Nine Technology announced that Gene Fay was promoted to President and will oversee day-to-day operations, including business development, channel partnerships and customer service.

Visually Stunning, Feature-Rich App for Zondervan's Bestselling NIV Study Bible Now Available for iPad and iPhone

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The best-selling, award-winning and most comprehensive NIV Study Bible on the market is now available for readers to take with them on the go as an app for their iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches.  Zondervan's NIV Study Bible app hit Apple's App store last week and has already made the top 10 list of Apple's all-time top grossing Book apps.

This smart, easy-to-use app offers a feast for the eyes as it features hundreds of visually stunning and informative full-color videos, maps, charts, illustrations, diagrams and 360-degree interactive panoramic HD renderings.  The app's fresh, clean and user-friendly design allows readers to easily read the Bible, navigate, search and highlight passages for emphasis, bookmark where they left off, copy and paste notes into texts and emails, and quickly and conveniently share passages via Facebook and Twitter. 

Aside from the visual appeal and beautiful multimedia features, the cornerstone of the app is the 20,000 study notes with color icons that make important information easy to spot and access.  Several of the scholars responsible for the translation of the bestselling NIV Bible also developed study notes, which are the most comprehensive and widely used study notes available in any NIV Study Bible on the market.

"We are proud to introduce the NIV Study Bible app and believe it is truly the best study Bible experience available.  The endless list of features is equal to placing an entire resource library for Bible study in the palm of your hand," said Chip Brown, Zondervan's senior vice president and publisher for Bibles. "We hope and expect that it will serve to make Bible study easy, convenient and fun for scholars, students, clergy and lay people alike, and are eager to receive feedback and reviews from users."

The app features the full text of the bestselling and most trusted New International Version of the Bible. The advantage of using the app over the print product is the ability to switch between study mode - where all the notes are viewable in a synchronized format with the Bible text, or reading mode - where the notes are removed, allowing the reader to stay focused on Bible text.  Speed and agility of Bible navigation also improve the experience; simply tapping on underlined words allows access to cross references, maps, charts, illustrations, and diagrams.  Finally, a powerful folder system allows for easy organization of notes and bookmarks.

For a one-time purchase of $24.99, customers can buy this universal app and use it on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  To learn more, visit http://nivbibleapps.com/.

Experts Enthusiastic about Handwriting Game Release

ALKMAAR, The Netherlands, December 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Specialists reacted enthusiastically to the release of LetterSchool
[http://letterschool.com ], a new educational app from Boreaal Publishers. With an
innovative approach to handwriting instruction, LetterSchool competes with advanced games
using an entirely custom-built, full-featured OpenGL-based 3D game engine boasting visual
effects rarely seen in apps for young children.

    Watch LetterSchool on YouTube: http://youtu.be/4sDZqBMqG-4

    (LetterSchool.com) Boreaal Publishers thinks it's high time for a new approach to
handwriting instruction. The need for one is high; in the United States and other Western
countries, handwriting quality is deteriorating. Boreaal says that LetterSchool, the
educational game it just released, can provide better instruction than parents or
teachers. Many education and handwriting experts responded very positively to the release
of LetterSchool. Dr. Judy Rutberg-Self, Ph.D., a child psychologist and researcher from
the Seattle area, is thrilled about the features the app offers.

    In LetterSchool children between 4 and 6 learn all about letters and numbers: writing,
counting, phonics and more. It is a universal application for the iPad, iPhone and iPod
touch. The makers have invested heavily into high-quality graphics, effects and animations
at a level not easily found in educational apps for this age group. Young children work
magic as they write letters and numbers with sparkling candy, squealing tires, cuddly
animals, whistling trains and humming lawn mowers. The wide variety of games captures the
child's attention and keeps young players practicing their letters and numbers, over and
over again. At home, at school, in the car and everywhere else, children can learn at a
comfortable level and at their own pace.

    In the app, young children practice each letter or number in four steps combining
different learning approaches. They first play every letter and number in the silver
level, then play them again in the gold level with greater challenge. To put their
acquired skills to the test, players write their very own letters in the final free-form
writing game. This extensive practice in two distinct levels ensures children's letter
knowledge takes permanent root. LetterSchool makes exclusive use of visual information to
demonstrate the letters: American studies indicate that visual clues are easier for a
young child's brain to process than verbal instructions. And visual interaction is exactly
where mobile devices are very well suited for.

    At home, parents rarely know how they can best help their children learn to write. At
school, overfull curricula leave little room for handwriting lessons. Moreover, those
lessons often make less than optimal use of the available time. There are several reasons
for this. Many schools consider handwriting skills a lesser subject. In studies, many
teachers indicate that they received poor handwriting instruction themselves. The quality
of LetterSchool's instruction is constant and independent of the person, place and time.
These are a few reasons why LetterSchool provides better handwriting instruction than
parents and teachers.

    Boreaal Publishers [http://boreaal.nl ] and PiMZ.com [http://pimz.com ] formed a

Scholastic to Publish Infinity Ring, a New Multi-platform Time Travel Adventure Series

Multi-author Seven-book Series Launches Worldwide September 2012 With First and Last Book Written By Bestselling Author James Dashner

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Scholastic, the global children's publishing, education and media company, and the pioneering force behind the groundbreaking and international bestselling The 39 Clues(TM) book series, expands its innovative multi-platform publishing program with the worldwide launch of Infinity Ring(TM), an alternate-history time travel series for readers ages 8-12. To be written by a team of six authors, this exciting new adventure combines books, an interactive "Hystorian's Guide" map feature (named for a centuries-old secret society featured in the books), and a fully-immersive online game experience where readers travel back in time to fix history. Infinity Ring will launch simultaneously in September 2012 in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, with "Book 1: A Mutiny in Time," written by New York Times bestselling author James Dashner (The Maze Runner), who also outlined the program's overall story arc. Dashner will be followed by a team of bestselling and acclaimed authors including Carrie Ryan (Book 2; November 2012), Lisa McMann (Book 3; February 2013), Matt de la Pena (Book 4; June 2013), Matthew J. Kirby (Book 5; September 2013), and Jennifer A. Nielsen (Book 6; December 2013). The last book in the Infinity Ring series also will be written by James Dashner (Book 7; March 2014).

Each book in the series will be packaged with a unique "Hystorian's Guide," a collectible map that includes a special code to unlock exclusive content on the Infinity Ring online game. The multi-dimensional game experience on http://www.infinityring.com (site currently under construction) will allow kids to play as the main characters from the books as they travel back in history to fix the "Great Breaks," key events that have gone wrong, altering history as we know it. The online game -- available on the web, smartphones, iOS and Android tablets -- features a fully realized virtual world, where players can interact with other characters, and explore key events in history alongside Christopher Columbus, Abraham Lincoln, and other figures featured in the books.

"As an innovator and publisher of breakthrough multi-media properties including The 39 Clues, Skeleton Creek, and Trackers, we are excited to launch Infinity Ring -- a thrilling new series with relatable characters, fast-paced adventure with fun and educational content, and an online game developed with the latest in gaming technology, giving kids a wholly interactive reading experience," said Ellie Berger, President, Scholastic Trade.

"People like to think that reading and gaming are two very separate experiences for kids, but with Infinity Ring, we're crashing them together into something that's deeply satisfying for both their reader and gamer sensibilities. The web experience is going to be unlike anything you've ever seen before, creating a fully immersive reading and history experience," said David Levithan, Publisher and Editorial Director, Scholastic Press.

"Scholastic has been a part of my reading life for over thirty years, and it's both surreal and exciting to now be working on this project together," said James Dashner. "I'm so honored and looking forward to launching Infinity Ring. I know readers and gamers of all ages are in for a unique and unforgettable experience."

About Infinity Ring:

History is broken, and a long-feared Cataclysm seems imminent. The capital of the United States is Boston. Lincoln's face is nowhere to be seen on Mount Rushmore. Everyone's buzzing about the French royal wedding. And an international group of men and women known as the SQ is more powerful than kings, richer than nations, and more fearsome than armies. When best friends Dak Smyth and Sera Froste stumble upon the key to time travel - a hand-held device known as the Infinity Ring - they're swept up in a centuries-long secret war for the fate of mankind. Recruited by the Hystorians, a secret society that dates back to Aristotle, the kids learn that history has gone completely, and disastrously, off-course. Now it's up to Dak, Sera, and teenage Hystorian-in-training Riq to travel back in time to fix the "Great Breaks"... and to save Dak's missing parents while they're at it. First stop: Spain, 1492, where a sailor named Christopher Columbus is about to be thrown overboard in a deadly mutiny!

Scholastic, a leader and innovator in multi-platform publishing, broke new ground in September 2008 with the launch of The 39 Clues(TM), the first series of its kind in the publishing industry which includes an integrated combination of books, collectible cards, and an online game. The phenomenally popular franchise maintains a massive global following with readers in all 50 states and 191 countries, and with the online game which has attracted more than 1.7 million registered users to date. There are currently more than 11 million copies in print worldwide for The 39 Clues and The 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers book series. Scholastic recently announced the expansion of The 39 Clues franchise in the digital realm with the launch of "The 39 Clues: Rapid Fire," a series of seven original eBook short stories to be released on seven consecutive days during the holiday season (December 25-31, 2011).

New Site MatchPint Will Aid Sports Fans' Quest to Find a Pub Showing the Game

LONDON, December 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    With 4.2 million people in the UK watching sport in the pub each week, it is a wonder
that so many of them don't know where they can watch specific games. The launch of new
website MatchPint [http://www.matchpint.co.uk ], however, will ensure that this is no
longer a problem. Visitors to the website can view a feed of the next fortnight's games as
well as which pubs and bars are showing them.

    Users can also search a list of sports pubs and bars
[http://www.matchpint.co.uk/bars/index.html ] by venue, viewing individual pub profiles to
see how many screens it has and whether it has HD or 3D. But they can also get a feel for
the pub by reading descriptions and looking at photos before choosing where to watch the
game.

    MatchPint isn't just an information platform though. My Profile
[http://www.matchpint.co.uk/myprofile/index.html ] accounts, for example, allow users to
select their favourite sports, teams and areas so that the website can recommend different
venues to them. Furthermore, the site's integration with Facebook allows visitors to
publicise where they will be watching the game making it incredibly easy to organize group
visits to watch the game at the pub.

    Fans will also be delighted to find that the games covered are not only those on Sky
Sports. Of course, punters can find plenty of pubs showing Premiership football on Sky,
Champions League on ITV, Six Nations rugby on the BBC and NFL on ESPN America. They can
also, however, find pubs showing those elusive 3 o'clock kick-off games on Saturday, NRL
Rugby League from Australia and even international table tennis from Germany.

    The idea of listing pubs is not new, of course. There are plenty of comparison sites
filled with punter comments informing the 'online punter community' which pubs serve the
best ales, which have the best selection of Sunday Roasts and are staffed by barmen never
to be engaged with in conversation Shortly, however, visitors to MatchPint will also be
able to add their own comments to pub and bar profiles seeing MatchPint add its name to
the list of sites for this 'online punter community'. The difference is, of course, that
this one is for sports fans.

    The website has been live for the last month with hundreds of fans finding pubs and
bars in which to watch their favourite matches. Though the service is mainly aimed at
London, MatchPint already lists over 400 venues across the country with coverage in
Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow as well as its venues in
the capital.

    With the free iPhone app due for release in January covering all of the same services,
it seems that the days of desperate fans wandering from pub to pub in search of a game may
finally be drawing to a close.

"Driven to reduce the carbon footprints of paper, printing, film and nonwoven manufacturing facilities, Greycon is committed to its own sustainability efforts," said Constantine Goulimis, CEO of Greycon. "While our efforts include measures for low electrical consumption for its offices and solar heated water for its offices in Montevideo, we believe that supporting the sustainability commitments of our customers establishes a sweeping statement to the manufacturing industry that everyone can take steps to protect limited natural resources for future generations."

Program Particulars

This new program from Greycon is designed to reward and support manufacturers that are progressively driving sustainability efforts within their industry. For every 40 kW (peak) of installed PV, Greycon will contribute one day of software development and consulting services at no cost to a maximum of five days per customer.

The program is open to any Greycon customer that installed a PV system during 2011, and has a valid support and maintenance contract as of 31 December 2011. To take advantage of this offer, customers must provide a photo of the installation and agree to having their installation publicised by Greycon. The submission period closes 31 January 2012.

ProfitStars Introduces Mobile Website Platform

- Mobile banking websites help financial institutions increase visibility and relevance in an expanding mobile market -

MONETT, Mo., Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ:JKHY) is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry. Its ProfitStars® division announced today the availability of the Mobile Website(TM) platform, which enables financial institutions to complement existing online and mobile banking solutions with websites designed distinctively for the mobile channel.

Mobile Website supports a rapidly expanding banking channel with websites developed specifically for smaller screens and on-the-go functionality while also maintaining the consistent look and ease of navigation that customers demand. It can improve customer service and increase revenue with mobile sites that are compatible with all traditional website designs and Internet banking providers. Each site is fully customizable, can be live in weeks, and is securely hosted by ProfitStars. Financial institutions can make ongoing updates easily using the platform's dynamic Content Management System (CMS).

Approximately 30 million Americans, or one out of every 10, accessed financial information via a mobile device in the fourth quarter of 2010, which represents an increase of more than 50 percent over the same quarter of 2009. As mobile adoption and demand continue to increase exponentially, financial institutions without a mobile presence are limiting their customer reach.

David Foss, president of ProfitStars, said, "Mobile has evolved to be an integral banking channel that more and more consumers expect their financial institutions to provide. Mobile Website is designed to help banks and credit unions of all sizes expand the conveniences of online banking into the mobile market in a way that is affordable and user-friendly. We believe that every financial institution needs a comprehensive mobile strategy to serve existing convenience-driven customers, to attract new ones, and to effectively compete."

ProfitStars has designed and currently manages and hosts more than 1,000 financial institution websites. It also offers optional comprehensive website reviews to help financial institutions prepare for FFIEC examinations. ProfitStars' website design, hosting, and security solutions are also preferred services of The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA). Additional information and sample mobile website pages are available at http://discover.profitstars.com/mobilewebsite.

Edge Design Debuts in San Francisco, Introduces Line of Premium Accessories for Smartphones and Tablets

Danish Founders Meld Scandinavian Design with American Craftsmanship in New Collection of High-Strength Aluminum Cases for iPhone and iPad

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco startup EDGE Design(TM) has launched its introductory line of premium accessories for smartphones and tablet computers with two high-strength aluminum cases for iPhone 4S & 4. The cases are inspired by Pininfarina, the Italian car design company, and its Modulo concept car from the 1970s. The car's groundbreaking design is widely recognized as a modern classic and is often imitated in today's car design.

The company was co-founded by Danish-born entrepreneurs and design aficionados Jesper A. Wind and Andreas V. I. Paaske, who saw an unfilled niche in the market for smartphone and tablet accessories.

"Of the hundreds of smartphone cases on the market, I was unable to find a single one that matched the material quality and sleek design of my iPhone," said Wind, CEO. "Why buy a top-of-the-line smartphone and dress it up in a cheap plastic case?"

The company's Alfa(TM) and Aktiv(TM) cases for iPhone 4S & 4 are made of high-strength, aerospace-grade aluminum. EDGE Design's case boasts a unique patented chassis design with a polymer band that suspends the phone or tablet inside the case, preventing the metal from shortcutting the antennas and providing shock absorption if the device is dropped.

A unique serial number is engraved in each EDGE Design(TM) case to guarantee authenticity and streamline the process of product registration, which extends the owner's warranty from 12 to 24 months.

Paaske, COO, said the company chose to manufacture in the U.S. to ensure quality. "This brand is about functionality and style - the best of both worlds. Marrying Scandinavian design with American craftsmanship enables us to produce a superior product and deliver on that promise."

EDGE Design's Alfa and Aktiv cases sell for $99 (US) and are available at http://www.EDGE-design.com. Retail sales--including cases for iPad --are expected to begin early in 2012.

About EDGE Design

Co-founded by Danish-born design aficionados, EDGE Design is a San Francisco-based company producing premium, American-made accessories for smartphones and tablet computers. EDGE products were sparked by a series of distinctly designed products that are crafted from high quality materials inspired by Italian and Scandinavian design. It's Alfa(TM) and Aktiv(TM) cases are currently available for iPhone 4S & 4, and will soon be available for iPad and Android smartphones and tablets.

Misys Virtualises its IT Infrastructure With iomart Hosting

GLASGOW, Scotland, December 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

            Banking & treasury software leader chooses cloud computing provider as

                               exclusive UK hosting partner

    iomart Hosting, the UK cloud computing and managed hosting services provider, has
provided a virtualised platform
[http://www.iomarthosting.com/cloud-hosting/private-cloud-hosting ] to help Misys plc
(FTSE: MSY.L) consolidate its IT infrastructure in the UK.

    Misys, the global market leader delivering application software and services for
banking, treasury and capital markets, reviewed its hosting services this year and decided
to create an exclusive relationship with iomart Hosting. iomart Hosting's London data
centre [http://www.iomarthosting.com/infrastructure/uk-data-centres/london ] has in
essence become Misys' European data centre.

    Phil Davies, Director IS for Misys [http://www.misys.com ] UK & EMEA, explains: "We
operate on the basis of a 'one-Misys' culture and the decision to go with a single direct
provider of hosting is another symbol of that ethos. We already had a relationship with
iomart Hosting and were impressed. The decision to use them as our sole host has proved
the right one. As soon as the relationship was formalised, the benefits were tangible.
There was an immediate improvement in the stability of our equipment and complete
engagement with our business objectives."

    Employing more than 4,000 people, Misys serves 1,300 customers in over 120 countries,
including all of the world's top 50 banks. Leading analyst firm, Gartner has positioned
Misys as a leader in its Magic Quadrant for both 'Treasury & Trading Systems' and
'International Retail Core Banking'.

    iomart Hosting owns and manages its secure data centre network. Dedicated on-site NOC
teams manage and monitor customers' mission-critical systems 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. The consolidation of its hosting provision has proved successful for Misys in the UK
and will be considered for other key locations globally in the future.

    "This round the clock support fits in completely with our global presence," says Phil.
"Our IT teams can contact the data centre night or day wherever they are around the
world."

    iomart Hosting supports a fully virtualised platform including Netapp for SAN, with an
internal private cloud. This platform hosts all of the Misys HR, finance and business
intelligence functions, plus the company's Enterprise Resource Planning for the UK and
EMEA.

    Phil Davies explains: "The benefits of virtualisation and private cloud for Misys go
hand-in-hand. It has massively reduced not only our physical footprint but also the
associated costs. It gives us greater agility and flexibility, allowing us to be much more
responsive to demands for change in the IT infrastructure as the business grows and adapts
to what our customers want.

    We use enterprise-class hardware which feeds through to high availability and
recoverability. Our whole critical IT structure is safeguarded by the controls and
security that iomart Hosting has in place."

    Sarah Haran, managing director of iomart Hosting, adds: "Integration is at the heart
of everything that Misys does, so our task at iomart Hosting was to continue that
philosophy through to the virtualised platform. We work hard to architect solutions that
support our clients' business requirements rather than those that are just easiest to
implement."

    The data centre infrastructure and reliability and security provided by iomart Hosting
also has another very important benefit for Misys.

    "There's an underlying professionalism at work with everything we do with iomart
Hosting," Phil Davies explains. "This has provided an important level of reassurance for
our auditors, our insurers and our customers."

    He concludes: "There's a real depth to our engagement. Misys considers iomart Hosting
to be a partner not a provider."

    iomart Hosting is part of iomart Group plc which announced on Monday 19 December 2011
that it had entered the FTSE AIM 100 Index.

INVISION to Incorporate Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings in Industry-first Solution to Manage Ad Liability Across Platforms

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- INVISION Inc. announced today that it will work with Nielsen in an industry-first collaboration to provide the media industry with streamlined cross-platform advertising inventory liability management. Using Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings, INVISION will offer a solution for the media industry to measure and fulfill television campaign guarantees via online advertising through INVISION's DealMaker Stewardship product. 

Launched in August, Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings combines traditional Nielsen TV and online panel data with aggregated, anonymous demographic information from participating online data providers. It is the only Internet measurement system accredited by the Media Rating Council (MRC) that provides GRPs for online advertising campaigns, enabling for the first time consistent cross-platform reach and frequency metrics.

INVISION develops and provides integrated advertising planning and sales solutions across the media industry with robust, modern systems designed for TV, online video, display, radio and mobile. Customers using INVISION's DealMaker Stewardship product to manage television audience guarantees will be able to seamlessly transfer liability from television deals to online campaigns planned and managed through INVISION's DealMaker Digital sales system or through other digital sales systems. 

"Today's advertisers, agencies and publishers want an accurate and consistent measurement to understand what audiences their campaigns reach across media to deliver improved ROI," said Steve Hasker, President, Media Products and Advertiser Solutions, Nielsen. "This collaboration of Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings with INVISION will allow, for the first time, clients to identify the best inventory for audience reach across media to satisfy ad guarantees in an efficient, effective manner."

"Traditionally, when TV buys fail to reach their audience guarantees this liability has been satisfied with additional TV inventory," said Lynda Clarizio, CEO of INVISION. "Because of growing constraints on that platform and the promise of online advertising, networks have seen a growing opportunity to transfer this liability online. Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings provides a standard GRP across platforms so that online can be measured the same way we measure GRPs on TV, and INVISION is the first partner providing a seamless method for processing this liability transfer."

By improving workflow efficiencies and cross-platform views of audience liability, Nielsen and INVISION are working to remove obstacles and increase flexibility for true cross-platform media sales management.

About INVISION, Inc.:

Founded in 1993, INVISION, Inc. (http://www.invisioninc.com) is the leading provider of advertising sales solutions to the media industry.  INVISION's advertising systems are trusted by top media content providers to manage over $13 billion in advertising revenue each year.  INVISION develops software to support the ad sales and traffic processes for cable networks, broadcast networks, television syndicators, radio stations, digital publishers and Hispanic-focused media.  With offices in New York, Atlanta and northern Virginia, INVISION's clients include Azteca America, BET, Bloomberg, Bravo, CNBC, E!

INXPO Announces Groundbreaking Mobile Access and Interaction for Online Event Attendees

New App Enables First Ever Full Suite of Collaborative Experiences for Attendees Using Mobile Devices

CHICAGO, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- INXPO announces a radical change in the way people can access online events on its award-winning VX Platform. Mobile device attendees will no longer have to settle for a limited subset of functionality, or feel as though they are unable to be full event participants. The new app, available for both iOS and Android users, features the full suite of INXPO benefits for users on the go, including:

    --  The most complete mobile webcast viewing solution, XPOCAST® Mobile(TM)
        (see below)
    --  A theater for live and on-demand presentations
    --  Multiple venues for downloadable content
    --  Chat Rooms
    --  Private One to One chat
    --  Social Media integration
    --  Localization
"Our statistics tell us that online event attendance from mobile devices is growing quickly. Our mobile support expansion is driven by a clear shift in where computing now happens," said Malcolm Lotzof, CEO, INXPO. "Our mobile app follows our guiding principles of Power and Simplicity. We've extended the most powerful digital events platform in the industry, while making it simpler for end users to attend from anywhere," continued Lotzof.

With the INXPO Mobile app INXPO now offers clients the following options:

    --  The INXPO "Universal App" (non-branded and free with every INXPO event)
    --  A privately branded client app (a single app for clients with multiple
        events)
    --  A privately branded event app (a single app for a single event)
All of the above apps are unique in that they are completely integrated with INXPO's VX Platform, extending access to INXPO events to anyone with a iOS or Android mobile device.

"Frankly, we were not willing to settle for an app that simply gave mobile users access to an event's documents," said Drew VanVooren, President, INXPO. "What we're now providing is a powerfully interactive experience for attendees, regardless of what type of device they accessed an event from."

The power of an online event is its ability to extend the event's reach to anyone, anywhere, at any time.  Mobile access promised to increase that access to even more users using a variety of devices, but solutions available up to now have been very limited. The INXPO mobile app changes all of that.

"As computing shifts to mobile devices, I expect the INXPO mobile suite to benefit attendance rates at our clients' events. With this complete user experience made available to mobile users, being out of the office is no longer a barrier for attendance," said Lotzof.

XPOCAST Mobile

With XPOCAST® Mobile(TM), INXPO now has the most feature-rich and flexible mobile webcasting solution in the world. Users have complete control over:

    --  Screen sharing
    --  Live, Simulive and On-Demand presentations
    --  Interactive polling and surveys
    --  Group chat
    --  Moderated chat
    --  Q&A
    --  Twitter integration
