As Hurricane Season Approaches Gulf Coast - New Free App Provides Real-Time Local Updates to Keep Residents Safe and Informed

Tropical Storm Don Lurches Toward the Texas Gulf Coast, Residents Hunker Down

HOUSTON, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Every year hurricanes and tropical storms ravage the Gulf Coast leaving trails of destruction, costing unprepared residents their homes and sometimes their lives. Right now, all eyes are on Tropical Storm Don which is on track to make landfall on the Texas Gulf Coast soon.

Global Alert Network (GAN) now offers a free mobile application to Gulf Coast residents that will provide them with real-time local weather, traffic and emergency updates to help them prepare for these storms.

Using a mobile device's GPS, the app will recognize the user's location sending breaking local alerts instantly. These alerts are automatic, and once downloaded the user can choose the types of alerts to subscribe to without having to engage with their mobile devices. The app is currently available on BlackBerry and Android devices through AppWorld and Android Market, and will be available on the iPhone in the coming weeks.

"Natural disasters, from hurricanes to tornados, have been particularly harsh throughout the country this year and the best way to mitigate the damage of these storms is to prepare. The free app gives users the peace of mind of knowing that if severe weather is headed toward them, they will automatically be alerted and can immediately take action," said Scott Hughes, President of Global Alert Network.

Official hurricane season generally lasts from June through November and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently predicted that this will be a particularly harsh season with anywhere from 12 to 18 named storms on the horizon.

"Within minutes of downloading the GAN app, users have a free, potentially life saving tool at their fingertips," continued Hughes. "Especially during seasons with devastating weather and in the regions that often get hit, there is no reason why residents should not be downloading this application."

AllograftPossibilities.org Meets Unmet Need for Consumer-Oriented Information on Tissue Donation, Transplantation on the Internet

Educational website from nonprofit tissue bank, AlloSource, grows rapidly, honors tissue donors, spotlights tissue transplant recipients

CENTENNIAL, Colo., July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AllograftPossibilities.org has rapidly grown into the premier source for straightforward information on tissue donation and transplant on the web. Although it has the same life-saving and life-enhancing benefits of organ donation, tissue donation is still lesser understood by the general public. The nonprofit AlloSource, a leading developer, processor, and distributor of bone and soft-tissue allografts for use in surgical procedures around the world, created the educational website, AllograftPossibilities.org, to fill an unmet need for consumer information about tissue donation and transplantation on the internet.

Tissue donation rates are lower than organ donation rates and AlloSource found that there was not an online resource dedicated to talking about the benefits of tissue transplantation. The company wanted to honor donor families and encourage others to be both organ and tissue donors by presenting straightforward case studies and medical information on tissue transplant procedures. The easy-to-access online source provides interactive opportunities to ask questions, share stories and connect with others. The website has also become a valued source of information for organ procurement organizations, which work with families throughout the donation process and coordinate transplants.

"Patients presented with the option of a tissue transplant had few places to go beyond their surgeon to get information. As many people are now consumers of online information, we wanted to create a place that these patients could go to have their questions answered and to read about the donation process and surgical outcomes," said Thomas Cycyota, AlloSource President and CEO. "Encouraging donation and honoring donors is a cornerstone of AlloSource's mission and this site is a tribute to those who make our jobs possible."

In less than two years, the website has already generated impressive web traffic for such a niche topic. It has received more than 10,000 page views and other key indicators for growth also look positive: number of visits, time spent on the site, bounce rate and percentage of new visitors in year two have all beat those from year one.

Key accomplishments of the website include:

    --  Promotes tissue donation and honors families touched by the donation
        process
    --  Helps potential patients learn more about the donation side of allograft
        transplant surgery and better understand the potential surgical outcomes
    --  Brings to life the stories of tissue donation by publishing case studies
        from recipients and donor families
    --  Quickly provides expert answers to incoming questions from the public
    --  Shares consumer news on updates about medical advancements related to
        tissue transplantation
    --  Provides organ procurement organizations with resources that can be
        easily downloaded, printed or emailed to assist in their interactions
        with donor families or in their event and marketing efforts
    --  Shares the medical perspective on tissue transplantation to help readers
        understand how doctors of various specialties utilize allograft tissue
    --  Provides a forum for people touched by tissue donation or
        transplantation to share their stories publicly
    --  Promotes donation events throughout the country

For more information, visit: http://www.allograftpossibilities.org.

About AlloSource

AlloSource is a non-profit company that offers more than 200 precise bone, skin, soft-tissue and custom-machined allografts for use in an array of life-saving and life-enhancing medical procedures.

ING Expands Distribution of Voluntary Insurance Products Through Leading Online Platform

Access through Benefitfocus makes enrollment process easier for employees

MINNEAPOLIS, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ING's U.S. Employee Benefits division (ING) today announced the expanded availability of its voluntary insurance products through distribution on BENEFITFOCUS HR InTouch®, a technology platform for online enrollment, HR efficiency and employee communication. 

This new distribution vehicle for ING enables employers to provide ING benefits through an app that is tightly integrated with their core enrollment process, eliminating the extra steps that can sometimes deter employees from participating in voluntary benefits programs.

In addition to voluntary benefits, ING offers traditional group life insurance, disability-income insurance and stop-loss insurance products for employers. ING's group life and disability-income insurance products are distributed through independent brokers and agents utilizing ING's enrollment software, national and regional enrollment firms and technology platform providers such as Benefitfocus.

ING has been expanding its voluntary benefits efforts over the past year, hiring a new head of sales and distribution, bolstering its regional voluntary sales organization, and expanding distribution of its products.

"ING has developed, implemented and administered voluntary benefit plans in the workplace for more than 60 years, and we're actively looking to expand our reach so we can help meet the needs of more working Americans," said Marc Lower, head of voluntary strategy and distribution for ING Employee Benefits. "Benefitfocus is a strong player in the employee benefits arena. With our new agreement, their employer clients can now offer ING's voluntary benefits products, and provide a simple, integrated enrollment process for employees."

Benefitfocus provides the ability for companies and third-party developers to build apps that plug into and extend the platform. This enables carriers to integrate their products, content and existing web tools with enrollment and billing technology.

"We are very excited about our relationship with ING. At Benefitfocus, our goal is to provide both speed-to-market for our insurance providers and efficiency for our employer clients," said Shawn Jenkins, president and CEO of Benefitfocus. "By offering all benefits in one place, we eliminate paper-based enrollment and give employers the tools they need to lower costs and offer well-rounded benefits packages to their employees."

ING's voluntary insurance products include universal life, whole life, disability income, critical illness, and accident insurance, all of which enhance the benefit plan at little to no premium cost to the employer.

Honeywell Announces Voluntary Recall of Electric Baseboard and Fan Heater Thermostats

Models Include CT1950A1011, CT1957A1008, T4700B1030, T4700A1040, T4700A1024 and T4700B1022

MINNEAPOLIS, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the voluntary recall of certain electric baseboard heater thermostats: model numbers T4700, CT1950 and CT1957 manufactured between 2000 and 2006 and sold under the Honeywell and Cadet brand names. Consumers should stop using these electric baseboard heater thermostats immediately by setting the thermostats to 45 degrees or turning them off, even if they seem to be functioning properly.

The electric baseboard and fan heater thermostats contain a line voltage relay that is used to switch the power to the electric baseboard or fan heater. The line voltage relay may not function properly and cause the thermostat plastic to melt. Honeywell has received 16 reports of thermostats melting. There have been no reports of injuries.

The electric baseboard heater thermostats are manufactured with self-extinguishing plastic housing. Although the plastic can melt and generate smoke, it shouldn't ignite other materials in the home. Honeywell has sold just over 240,000 T4700, CT1950 and CT1957electric baseboard and fan heater thermostats in Canada.

The recalled thermostats can be identified by their overall rectangular shape.  "Honeywell" or "Cadet" is printed on the front of the thermostats that come in various sizes. The model number and four-digit date code are printed on a label inside the front cover of the thermostat. Only models with date codes beginning with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 or 06 are included.

Consumers who believe they have one of the affected electric baseboard or fan heater thermostats should telephone Honeywell toll-free at 888-235-7363 or visit http://www.yourhome.honeywell.com/T4700 for information on how to receive a free electric baseboard heater replacement thermostat for the T4700, CT1950 or CT1957.

Spotted Fox Brings Customized Daily Deals to Tri-Cities, Yakima

SAN DIEGO, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Merchants and consumers in Tri-Cities and Yakima, Washington celebrated the launch of Spotted Fox this week after a host of festivities welcomed the next-generation daily deal site to the city. The rapidly-growing Spotted Fox will now bring Tri-Cities and Yakima consumers daily deals up to 90% off while tending to the merchant's bottom line - in other words, the popular daily deal site will please both consumers and merchants alike.

Spotted Fox launched into Tri-Cities and Yakima as part of their overall strategic growth plan since the area enjoys a stable economy including an enduring retail marketplace - a perfect pairing to the daily deal offerings at Spotted Fox.

"We had a fabulous response after Spotted Fox launched our daily deal, and we really appreciated how it benefited both us and our new customers," said Jenae Skerritt, owner at Six Degrees Restaurant in Kennewick, Washington.

The daily deal site offers a convenient marriage between consumers and merchants within the Tri-Cities area: deep (and relevant) discounts are delivered to the consumer with a focus on return business for the merchant.

"We strategically planned our launch into Tri-Cities because we noticed a growing trend of merchants in the area who were looking for a direct response marketing solution that also offered repeat customers as part of the overall strategy," said Jeff Haux, CEO and co-founder at Spotted Fox. "Our research also indicated that consumers in Tri-Cities wanted a more customized daily deal experience that actually matched their interests. Since we've launched Spotted Fox in Tri-Cities and Yakima, we couldn't be more pleased with how we've been able to gain traction in such a short period of time in such a great city."

As part of the kickoff, Spotted Fox hosted an event at Joker's Comedy Club where partygoers enjoyed numerous prizes on behalf of the daily deal site. Following the celebration, new subscribers were treated to a hugely popular daily deal, which sold out within hours of its announcement: a $20 Target Gift Card for $10 which made the daily deal website an instant success in the Tri-Cities and Yakima areas.

Future plans for expansion at Spotted Fox include a list of twelve other U.S. cities by the completion of 2011. To sign up for daily deals in your city, go to http://SpottedFox.com and be sure to join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

About Spotted Fox

Spotted Fox is a San Diego-based next-generation daily deal site that provides a fully customized user experience and a unique business consulting model for its merchants, ensuring deals are deeply discounted while tending to the merchant's bottom line.

NetSuite Charts Course to Ecommerce Success for Magellan GPS

Global GPS Navigation Leader Triples Ecommerce Productivity and Reduces IT Costs with NetSuite

NetSuite's SuiteCloud Platform Delivers Rapid Implementation and Integration With Corporate ERP System

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP software suites, today announced that Magellan GPS, a leading portable navigation consumer electronics company, has adopted NetSuite to overhaul its Ecommerce operations. Keeping its business on course, Magellan GPS has eliminated its home-grown legacy Ecommerce system for NetSuite's cloud-based solution to run Ecommerce, marketing, merchandising and customer service. In addition, NetSuite's powerful SuiteCloud development platform enabled rapid deployment and integration with its existing corporate ERP instance, Oracle Financials.  As a result, Magellan GPS has reduced Ecommerce technology expenditures, streamlined online shopping processes for customers, improved call handle times, tripled daily transaction processing and improved fraud management.  And NetSuite met Magellan GPS' aggressive deployment goals. For information about how Ecommerce businesses run better on NetSuite, please visit: http://bit.ly/industries_ecommerce.

Adopting NetSuite instead of continuing to pour resources into an outdated solution has made it possible for Magellan GPS to enhance its direct-to-consumer Ecommerce offerings, boost the productivity of the Ecommerce team, and ensure stability and scalability for years to come. "NetSuite unifies our telesales, support, and Ecommerce efforts on a single platform, and gives us real-time order processing unavailable with our outdated legacy system," said Renato Siljeg, Head of Information Technology for Magellan GPS and MiTAC Digital Corporation. "We have tripled our productivity, enhanced our risk management, and reduced our overall Ecommerce IT expenditures by more than 20 percent switching to NetSuite."

Based in Santa Clara, Calif., Magellan GPS (also known as MiTAC Digital Corporation) has more than 200 key patents in GPS technology and is recognized as an industry innovator and leader. As the company expanded its offerings to new mobile and outdoor product lines, including the RoadMate App for iPhone, the limitations of its legacy Ecommerce system became clear. The software was inflexible and required extensive customization to support the new product lines, which would have escalated IT costs and slowed the company's responsiveness in the fast-moving market for GPS products. Transaction processing was nowhere near real-time, delaying order flows and obscuring insights into Ecommerce success. And Magellan GPS wanted an Ecommerce technology partner with deep roots in the industry, proven product scalability, and acceptance by publically traded companies.

NetSuite now enables Magellan GPS's Ecommerce marketing and merchandising teams, as well as its 200 customer service representatives, to provide a superior experience for buyers. The superior merchant gateway and deep integration with well-known fraud protection and risk scoring has made it possible for Magellan GPS to triple the number of orders processed per day while cutting Ecommerce-related IT spending by more than 20 percent. Creating new products and associated workflows is done at least three times faster than it was with the previous system, and the deep integration provided by the NetSuite solution has reduced call handling times by 35 percent and overall transaction processing times by 10 percent. Magellan GPS manages over 800 transactions per day through NetSuite.

NetSuite's SuiteCloud development platform offers flexibility and extensibility that have helped Magellan GPS enhance its partner selling programs with major brands such as AAA, Penske Racing, and Micron. Working with NetSuite SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN) partner Celigo, Magellan GPS has achieved tight integration between the NetSuite Ecommerce solution and its corporate Oracle ERP financials, which provide major improvements in logistics, order flow, and the ability to process transactions in a timely and accurate fashion. Using NetSuite single sign-on technology, customers can seamlessly upgrade their products online without the need for additional credentials.

Follow NetSuite's Cloud blog, NetSuite's Facebook page and @NetSuite Twitter handle for real-time updates. To join the NetSuite and Magellan GPS conversation on Twitter use @NetSuite @MagellanGPS.

WeDo Technologies Publishes Best Practice for M2M Fraud Protection and Security

READING, England and LISBON, Portugal, July 28, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    New Whitepaper Examines New Risks of M2M Communications for Operator
Revenues and Customer Security

    WeDo Technologies [http://www.wedotechnologies.com/en/home ], a leader
in business and revenue assurance solutions, today announced the launch of
its latest whitepaper. 'Embedded Mobile (M2M) - Telecoms Fraud & Security
Management' focuses on the risks M2M services can cause operators in terms
of fraud and revenue assurance and how they can effectively deal with these
problems.

    Created by Praesidium Consulting, WeDo Tecnologies' business consulting
division, the whitepaper considers the rise of M2M devices and services
across a number of vertical sectors and the risks that they create for
Communication Service Providers' (CSPs) businesses. From the greater
complexity introduced by third party partners to new data protection issues
and the new operational procedures required, the whitepaper goes on to
outline a number of risk management and defence strategies that CSPs can
adopt to counter the threats involved.

    "M2M is an exciting technology that offers a host of benefits and
additional revenue streams to operators," said Simon Collins, WeDo
Technologies' Vice President for business consulting division, Praesidium.
"However, as with many new technologies, it also brings with it a number of
threats to both consumer security and revenue assurance. When planning for
and launching M2M strategies, operators must defend themselves and their
customers against these fraud risks in order to protect their brand
reputation and business for the long term."

    The whitepaper, available to download from
http://www.wedotechnologies.com/m2m-fraudprotection, is the accumulation
of WeDo Technologies' expertise and knowledge as leaders in the fraud
management and revenue assurance space. It is the first in a new series of
whitepapers aimed to educate CSPs on the fraud and revenue assurance
problems that can occur when launching services based on new technologies
and the management strategies required to protect against them.

TROY, Mich., July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- HTC Global Services (HTC) is pleased to announce its role as an Implementation Partner in the successful deployment of Michigan State University (MSU)'s Enterprise Business Systems (EBS). The new systems replaced MSU's legacy Financial, HR, and BI systems with integrated enterprise-wide systems that are flexible, sustainable and support improved and streamlined business processes.

MSU selected HTC as an Implementation Partner to assist in the following applications:

    --  Financial: Kuali Financial System (KFS)
    --  HR and Payroll: SAP
    --  BI: Cognos

As a Kuali Commercial Affiliate, HTC provided its proven technology expertise to enhance KFS to meet MSU's functional requirements. HTC assisted MSU with setup of KFS in development, testing, training, and production environments, undertook data migration activities, customized KFS business rules, created extension objects, electronic documents (both maintenance and transactional), and a batch framework that integrated with third party vendor products. HTC also developed real-time external system interfaces, reporting structures and performance testing scripts.

"HTC 's team of application architects, Java and Cognos developers and SAP technical-functional consultants worked along side MSU staff through the various phases of this multi-year engagement.  The EBS suite of  applications are critically important for MSU, and we are very pleased to go live with this implementation," says Bruce Alexander, MSU's  EBS Project Director.

"The Kuali community is pleased to recognize the success of MSU in their KFS implementation, and pleased that HTC was part of that success.  HTC is a Kuali Commercial Affiliate that exhibits the core values of Kuali by working with both project teams and implementing schools to provide services around the open source software.  This creates a support model that the community needs, while creating an effective model for their own business activities," said Jennifer Foutty, Executive Director of the Kuali Foundation.

"HTC is thrilled to be an implementation partner to MSU for the EBS project. HTC continues to play an active role in advocating and promoting the mission of the Kuali Foundation and its associated initiatives, as it continues to implement multiple solutions for higher education," says Vikas Bhutada, Executive VP of HTC.

Company Attracts 70,000 People from 150 Countries During Limited Trial; Expands Network to Include Anyone with a Facebook, Twitter or Email Account

SEATTLE, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Trover LLC, a start-up company created for explorers worldwide, today formally launched Trover, a mobile discovery network where people share location-specific discoveries of remarkable places and things in a fun, visual way. Founded by experienced social, mobile and travel industry entrepreneurs, Trover's founding team includes: Jason Karas, CEO, who founded Carbonrally.com; Andrew Coldham, vice president of technology who directed software development at Expedia.com's corporate travel divisionand Rich Barton, chairman, who founded Expedia.com and co-founded Zillow.

During a limited spring trial, open to Facebook members only, the Trover community attracted more than 70,000 users in 150 countries. To set the stage for significant expansion, the company has now opened its network to Twitter and email users as well. Trover is available today as a free iPhone app in the Apple iTunes Store, with an Android version planned for fall. Non-mobile users can view Trover content at trover.com.

Sharing Discoveries

"Trovers are passionate about sharing the unique things they uncover while exploring their cities or far away places," said CEO Jason Karas.  "People find fulfillment in introducing something remarkable to another person. That, in turn, creates a social resource that's fun, entertaining and ultimately very useful. Whether it's a favorite boutique, a great bartender, a hidden piece of graffiti or a secret path to a deserted beach, with Trover in your pocket it's easy to find and share amazing discoveries."

Trover's defining feature is its location-based discovery mosaic, which allows explorers to visually browse through an eye-catching collection of thumbnail images featuring places to see and things to do nearby. As the user scrolls, a mileage indicator guides them to hidden gems located in nearby neighborhoods, towns, states and beyond, allowing users to explore new places or plan activities. To view a specific location, simply push the Jump To button for a virtual adventure.  Trover's search features also make it easy to find and follow people with common interests.

Adding new discoveries is simple and encouraged. Just snap a picture, create a quick description and Trover automatically tags it with location data and positions it where others can easily find it later. The Feed button provides an entertaining way to track the discoveries and adventures of friends and fellow explorers, and a Featured button showcases one great discovery from the community each day.

"I've always dreamed of having a personal guide to the world with me at all times, full of recommendations from my friends on where to go and what to see," said Rich Barton, chairman of Trover.  "Likewise, I have a strong urge to capture my own discoveries, so when my friends and followers come by in the future I can steer them to the good stuff.  This is why we built Trover."

FoundingTrover

Trover was born as an idea among the management team at TravelPost, a community for travel enthusiasts that will continue to serve members worldwide. On April 1, Trover LLC was created as a new company wholly owned by TravelPost, with an investment earmarked from the $9.8 million Series A funds TravelPost received in March 2010. Investors include General Catalyst Partners, Ignition Partners and Benchmark Capital, each of which plays an active role in Trover's development.

Fusion-io Unleashes CPUs, Reduces I/O Bottleneck to Accelerate StatSoft Data Analysis Software

White Paper from StatSoft Details 300-500% Performance Improvements and Latency Reductions in Testing Fusion ioMemory with STATISTICA Software

SALT LAKE CITY, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fusion-io (NYSE: FIO), developer of a next-generation shared data decentralization platform, today announced that StatSoft, provider of a comprehensive array of data analysis, data management, data visualization and data mining technologies, recently tested Fusion's ioMemory platform with its flagship STATISTICA software, comparing Fusion ioDrives to disk-based storage components.

The StatSoft white paper concluded that Fusion ioDrives significantly increased the I/O performance in the STATISTICA suite of analytics software products and solutions, greatly increasing CPU utilization and efficiency. With ioMemory, StatSoft achieved 300 and 500 percent data performance and latency reduction improvements when compared to legacy disk-based storage. With the increased I/O performance enabled by the Fusion ioDrives, CPU utilization increased to 90 percent in tests of large data sets, versus the 32 percent CPU utilization observed with the disk-based technology.

"Our global client base shares a common need for the fastest possible data access in order to perform analyses that drive business-critical decisions," said George Butler, Vice President, Platform Development, StatSoft. "STATISTICA is already among the fastest data analysis software tools on the market. With the Fusion-io memory platform, STATISTICA customers can analyze information from even the largest data sets more quickly than ever before through a solution that greatly improves the efficiency of their current infrastructure."

STATISTICA is widely used as an integral component of corporate computer infrastructures to boost productivity and the bottom line, to increase safety, reduce industrial pollution and develop environmental solutions. The STATISTICA product line and its scalable, fully web-enabled distributed processing systems are utilized in more than 60 countries in numerous languages. STATISTICA's 600,000 end users include leading global corporations in verticals such as manufacturing, power generation, semiconductors, pharmaceutical, chemical, petrochemical, food processing, automotive, heavy equipment, insurance, telecom, R&D and more.

"Few enterprises today have the luxury of wasting capital to build and run an enormous, inefficient storage system," said Neil Carson, Fusion-io Chief Technology Officer. "Seeking an intelligently simple solution, StatSoft's forward-thinking engineers have found a way to deliver data to their customers even faster by boosting the efficiency of their current infrastructures. The StatSoft white paper clearly demonstrates the potential for Fusion ioMemory to unlock hidden value by reducing the I/O bottleneck to put idle CPUs to work."

STATISTICA is optimized for processing large amounts of data, so quick access to stored data is essential. Whether processing a large STATISTICA Spreadsheet in read-only mode for analysis, or creating temporary objects during data management operations, storage performance and latency directly affects application performance.

StatSoft tested the ioDrives in two categories: Extensive Temp directory access and analyzing large spreadsheets.  In real-world scenarios accessing Temp directories, Fusion-io enabled performance improvements three times greater than traditional disks. In analyzing large spreadsheets, Fusion's technology produced five times the performance of disk-based storage. To review the StatSoft white paper, "STATISTICA Performance with Fusion-io ioDrive," go to http://www.statsoft.com/Portals/0/Support/Download/STATISTICA_Fusion_ioDrive_WhitePaper.pdf

Fusion's integrated hardware and software solutions leverage non-volatile memory to significantly increase datacenter efficiency and offers enterprise grade performance, reliability, availability and manageability. Fusion's data decentralization platform can transform legacy architectures into next generation datacenters and allows enterprises to consolidate or significantly reduce complex and expensive high performance storage, high performance networking and memory-rich servers. Fusion's platform enables enterprises to increase the utilization, performance and efficiency of their datacenter resources and extract greater value from their information assets.

Secure, multiparty videoconference sessions among employees and business partners can share and annotate multipage PDF documents

SAN DIEGO, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Online services innovator Nefsis® announced today that its cloud-based HD video conferencing sessions now support live sharing of portable document format (PDF) files. At the click of a mouse, videoconference participants can share, annotate, and save multipage PDF documents on-the-fly, just as easily as sharing any other document type including PowerPoint® presentations and Word documents.

INRIX Announces $60 Million Offer to Acquire UK-Based ITIS Holdings, a Leading European Traffic Information Company

Proposed Acquisition Adds $27 Million in Revenue, 70 Leading Customers, Traffic Services in 8 New Countries & 155 Employees to INRIX

KIRKLAND, Wash., July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- INRIX, Inc., a leading international provider of real-time traffic information and connected driving services, announced it has extended an offer to ITIS Holdings plc and its shareholders to acquire the company for approximately $60 million (37 million pounds Sterling).

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060424/SFM077LOGO-b)

"Automakers, mobile companies and other customers are increasingly demanding global traffic and connected driving solutions," said Bryan Mistele, president and CEO of INRIX.  "ITIS is a strategic investment that expands our geographic reach, technical expertise and suite of market leading technologies to offer customers the best traffic information, more cost-effectively and in more markets."

The proposed acquisition grows INRIX's business exponentially in several areas including:

    --  Geographic & Market Reach:  INRIX would extend its global footprint into
        8 new markets including Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Singapore and
        Russia - better coverage in markets like the U.K. and Germany providing
        customers with coverage across 30 countries.   Through ITIS' TrafficLink
        subsidiary, INRIX would deliver daily traffic broadcasts to millions
        U.K. listeners across the entire BBC local radio network, major
        commercial radio stations nationwide, ITV and Sky News.
    --  Customers & Revenues:  INRIX would add 70 customers and $27M in annual
        revenue across similar automotive, mobile, public sector and media
        businesses.  Key new customers and partners include Nissan, Telefonica,
        Vodafone and O2.  The proposed deal also would expand INRIX's role with
        existing customers including Toyota, TomTom and TeleNav.
    --  Increased Technical Expertise.  INRIX would gain 155 new employees with
        technical expertise in cellular network data collection, traffic
        incident information, RDS-TMC and digital radio data broadcasting,
        interactive-voice response systems and multi-modal routing to better
        serve its rapidly expanding customer base.  As the leading Cellular
        Floating Vehicle Data (CFVD) network in production in the world, ITIS
        CFVD would add 20 million connected devices to INRIX's crowd-sourced
        traffic network and accelerate the introduction of traffic services in
        emerging markets.  Automakers benefit from INRIX's increased ability to
        meet their short-term need for RDS and DAB-based broadcast traffic
        delivery methods as they transition toward fully connected solutions.
        Lastly, ITIS' traffic operations data center helps INRIX further scale
        the company's international expansion.

Improved Competiveness in the Global Marketplace

Through the acquisition, INRIX is uniquely positioned to benefit from the convergence of automotive, mobile and public sector efforts to leverage the latest smart devices, data analytics and connectivity technologies for improving how the world's one billion drivers travel from place to place.  As the market for traffic and travel information has moved from being highly fragmented and country specific to one where customers sought and have found global providers to support global technology standards in the vehicle, INRIX's proposed acquisition of ITIS provides the company with additional scale to compete with much larger competitors.  As a result, INRIX would offer customers the best real-time, predictive and historical traffic information available for 30 countries, sourced from the largest traffic network in the world and delivered using an unrivaled set of standards and patented technologies.

Pending approval by ITIS shareholders, the deal is expected to close in late August 2011.

IBM Announces New Innovation Lab Dedicated To Technology Services

New Services Innovation Lab To Help Clients Capitalize On New Opportunities

ARMONK, N.Y., July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the creation of the Services Innovation Lab (SIL), a new global lab that will initially comprise about 200 technology experts hand-picked from around the company. The lab will accelerate the expansion of real-time analytics and software automation in both IBM's technology services offerings and its global services delivery capabilities.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )

The SIL significantly expands IBM's nearly 10-year-old services research program by bringing together services, research, software developers and industry experts from around the company to focus initially on the creation of services software applications for cloud computing, analytics and mobility.  IBM invests more than $6 billion annually on research and development and employs about 3,000 researchers worldwide, with about a third of them focused on services and analytics.

"Our singular focus is to help our clients capitalize on technologies that solve problems and create new possibilities," said Mike Daniels, senior vice president and group executive, IBM Services.  "Creation of the Services Innovation Lab demonstrates how we at IBM differentiate our capabilities vs. competition.  We harness the best of what IBM research and development can deliver in science and engineering to help our clients be more innovative."

IBM researchers, developers and other technical experts who will participate in the SIL have an array of credentials, including development and client experience in computer science, software, security and compliance, systems management, mathematics and business optimization, data mining, storage, computer systems, user interaction and cognitive sciences. The central mission of these elite researchers and developers is to turn the intellectual property created during client engagements into software - thereby making it easier and faster to replicate a solution to thousands of engagements around the globe.

"The Services Innovation Lab is creating a research environment that leverages advances in services science, analytics and cloud computing to create innovation that matters for our clients anywhere in the world," said Mahmoud Naghshineh, vice president and director, IBM Services Innovation Lab. "Our efforts are focused on understanding the problems of service organizations from the perspectives of people, practices, information and technology to provide them new opportunities for revenue, cost savings and to foster innovation."

The SIL will operate out of IBM Research's Labs worldwide, including New York, California, China, Israel, India, Japan, Switzerland and Brazil.  The initial focus of the SIL projects includes:

    --  Cloud Computing -- The SIL will create both new Cloud services and
        devise new methods for moving traditional computing environments to a
        Cloud-based model.  For example, one of the initial projects will be the
        creation of so-called dashboards that will enable an information
        technology (IT) professionals more effectively learn what is happening
        inside a datacenter, where to apply resources and improve productivity.

    --  Advanced Analytics - The SIL will invent new ways to tightly integrate
        analytic services with business processes to create new types of
        services and applications that can be injected into client accounts more
        quickly.  One example already in the market is IBM's Tax Collections
        Optimizer, which uses new IBM-patented analytics technology to help
        governments identify the most effective and efficient methods to collect
        taxes from delinquent debtors.

    --  Service Delivery Automation -- The SIL will use data mining and
        real-time analytics software to create new delivery capabilities that
        will dramatically improve the operation of a data center by enabling IT
        management to become predictive and proactive.  For example, one project
        will more accurately predict if a data center will lose power. The new
        technologies will enable better monitoring and maintenance of data
        centers that will improve quality and reduce costs.

    --  Enterprise Mobilization and Smarter Planet - Focused on helping our
        services clients capitalize on mobile technologies, the SIL will develop
        new ways to access enterprise applications and infrastructure regardless
        of the device being used.  For example, the SIL will design a way to
        enable a mobile device to more easily access with enterprise customer
        reference systems or expense reporting applications.

The SIL is the latest example of the investments in research innovation and software capabilities that IBM has made over the past decade to create higher-value service offerings. IBM researchers have participated in more than 1,000 IT business process and consulting client services engagements.

With more than 15,000 services and software patents issued to IBM inventors in the last five years, patented services applications have played a major role in enabling IBM to deliver on its smarter planet vision - a world where technologies are increasingly interconnected, instrumented and intelligent -- by quickly moving an invention into client engagements around the world, from smarter healthcare and smarter water management to smarter buildings and smarter crime prevention.

New Technology Solutions Company Launches in Atlanta

TekStream builds experienced team of industry experts to deliver long-term and cost-effective solutions for enterprise companies

ATLANTA, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TekStream Solutions, LLC, announced today its launch as a new Atlanta-based information technology services firm.  The company will specialize in providing content management, enterprise portal and resourcing services to enterprise businesses, and has already signed on notable Fortune 500 clients.

The executive management of TekStream consists of Rob Jansen, CEO; Judd Robins, Executive Vice President, Consulting Services; and Mark Gannon, Executive Vice President, Resourcing Services. The trio, together with its senior team of experts, has deep and extensive experience delivering long-term and cost-effective technology solutions for large clients in a wide range of industries.

"After decades of enterprise companies investing in technology solutions for many individual business units with different functional needs, companies are left with disparate systems and deep inefficiencies.  They are challenged to manage the volumes of content and internet-based services that have been created during a transition to digital content," Jansen said. "Our specialty is finding solutions to these company-wide problems faced by enterprise businesses, such as consolidating and streamlining systems and creating 'anytime, anywhere access' to data for employees and customers."

According to Jansen, newer technologies have resulted in a changing work environment that involves an experienced and mobile workforce.  Companies must make it easier for knowledge workers to share, connect and collaborate across geographies.  TekStream helps companies make information and services available to workers across many different channels and devices. 

TekStream also serves companies looking to rebuild staff previously trimmed during the down economy and executives looking for ways to restructure teams with greater efficiencies.  Rather than hiring full-time workers, companies can turn to providers like TekStream who offer extremely experienced talent that specialize in their unique business challenges to reduce risk and increase business agility.

While there are many industries and technologies, TekStream has developed "repeatable solutions" to address similar needs, such as compliance that allow companies to adhere to industry standards. The company has achieved "trusted advisor status" with large software suppliers such as Oracle that provides clients with deep product expertise, access to product roadmap/strategy and unparalleled support. 

About TekStream Solutions, LLC

TekStream Solutions is an Atlanta-based technology solutions company that specializes in addressing the company-wide IT problems faced by enterprise businesses, such as consolidating and streamlining disparate content and application delivery systems and the market challenges to create "anytime, anywhere access" to data for employees, partners and customers.  TekStream's IT consulting solutions combined with its specialized IT recruiting expertise helps businesses increase efficiencies, streamline costs and remain competitive in an extremely fast-changing market.
