SG-Sigma acts as a nexus point in the operator's network, accurately identifying traffic in real time at high speeds, and enabling intelligent policy-based steering of subscriber traffic to these value added services.  The solution identifies those customers who have subscribed to the service and steers only their traffic to the relevant VAS platform, allowing optimized deployment of VAS infrastructure.  The centralization of network intelligence and service deployment in SG-Sigma enables the operator to quickly and efficiently activate these services, accelerate time-to-revenue and increase ARPU.

"This deployment is proof that Allot and Nokia Siemens Networks have a successful blueprint for monetizing network traffic," said Dmitry Serdega, Head of Sales Business Solutions, Russia at Nokia Siemens Networks Russia.  "The synergy between our two companies ensures that subscribers have real choices to enhance their Internet experience."

"This deployment highlights how Allot and Nokia Siemens Networks have played a critical role in uncovering new sources of revenue for the operator by enabling them to offer a wide range of scalable, value added services," said Andrei Elefant, Allot's Vice President of Product Management and Marketing.  "We are very excited about partnering with Nokia Siemens Networks to deliver creative and innovative solutions to service providers worldwide."

Open-Silicon Introduces "On Time, or On Us" Program

New Program Raises the Industry Bar on Schedule Predictability

MILPITAS, Calif., May 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Open-Silicon, Inc., a leading SoC design and semiconductor manufacturing company, today introduced the semiconductor industry's first money-backed design engineering schedules. Open-Silicon will meet the schedule, delivering a prototype on time, or the company will refund the cost of the design engineering, up to $500K.

In order to meet time-to-market goals and realize an integrated circuit's (IC) true market potential, execution to schedule is paramount.  The semiconductor industry, however, does not have a good track record of delivering products on time, resulting in missed revenue. Open-Silicon has focused on meeting schedules since its first chip and continues to be held accountable at every board of directors' meeting. While the company has always considered schedule predictability extremely important, the company is now willing to sign up on qualifying programs that the engineering will be "On Time, or On Us." 

"The semiconductor industry needs schedule predictability to be viewed with the same intense focus as design functionality.  Open-Silicon's bold statement with "On Time, or On Us" is a call to customers and partners to address schedule predictability as the key concern for the coming decade," said Dr. Naveed Sherwani, CEO of Open-Silicon. "We founded Open-Silicon on this principle, and are now again taking a leadership position by putting our money behind it."

"On Time, or On Us" Offer Details

The "On Time, or On Us" offer is valid on qualifying designs in 40nm or 65nm process, where design schedules are still relatively long and where Open-Silicon has a well-matured design methodology. Under the terms of this program, the originally quoted design non-recurring engineering (DNRE) charge will be refunded, up to $500K, for programs that miss the committed development schedule for prototype delivery.  This program will run through December 2011. To learn more about the program, visit http://www.open-silicon.com/capabilities/program-management/on-time-or-on-us.html.

About Open-Silicon, Inc.

Open-Silicon is a leading semiconductor company focused on SoC realization for traditional ASIC, develop-to-spec, and derivative ICs. In support of the industry trend towards collaborative engineering and design-lite, Open-Silicon offers SoC architecture, system design, physical design, low-level software, and high-quality semiconductor manufacturing services with one of the world's broadest partner ecosystems for IC development.

Polaris to Implement Intellect Core Banking System in Reserve Bank of India

CHENNAI, India, May 27, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    - Superior Functional Coverage and Future Ready Architecture with the
Capability of Handling 100 Million Transactions Per Day

    Polaris Software (POLS.BO), a leading global Financial
Technology Company, today announced that Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has
chosen Polaris to implement its Intellect(TM) Core Banking System (CBS)
across the Bank. The USD 55 million end-to-end implementation deal includes

    RBI, India's Central Banking Institution, wanted to implement
a centralized Core banking Solution at all its offices encompassing all
banking and accounting operations to align with its current and future IT

    Intellect CBS for Central Banks would help RBI to have a cross
functional and seamless automation and integration of the banking operations
in all regional offices of the Bank to ensure extremely high scalability and
highest levels of performance in both OLTP operations and batch operations
like EOD.

    Integration across multiple and disparate systems is a common
scenario in large Central banks like RBI, and to address this Intellect CBS
provides a very efficient integration middleware to provide seamless
integration and interface with large number of systems running on a wide
range of hardware, operating systems and technologies.

    On the security side, Intellect CBS will seamlessly integrate
into the IT environment of RBI meeting all its process flow and work flow
requirements. The solution will provide future regulatory and functional
requirements of RBI with shortest go to market timelines. It provides unique
and state of art security features such as internal account numbers, tamper
proof database, PKI supported transaction execution and storage, security in
account operations including positive pay features, document certification
and verification, two factor authentication and OTP provisions.

    Commenting on the successful deal, Arun Jain, Chairman & CEO,
Polaris Software, said, "I am delighted that after stringent evaluation of
the Next Generation architecture of Intellect, RBI chose Polaris. This USD 55
million deal is the single largest Intellect win for Polaris. The trust that
the RBI has shown in us reaffirms our investments in building highly scalable
and open SOA technology. I dedicate this deal to the Polaris Product
Engineering group and their commitment towards building such a high
performance system."

management software provider, today held a global online conference,
Modernizing ERP - A Vision for Growth, to reinforce its strategy for Sage ERP
X3 (http://www.sageerpx3.com/), its leading ERP solution for the midmarket.

Dallas-Based Bright Realty Takes Innovative Approach to Real Estate Marketing with Full-Length "Cooper & the Castle Hills Gang" Branded Entertainment Movie

Free Movie Download Results in Dramatic Increase in Traffic to Community Web Site

DALLAS, May 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- While most developers take traditional approaches and conventional strategies to real estate marketing, Bright Realty has taken an unusual and high-tech approach that incorporates movie-making and social media.  "Cooper & the Castle Hills Gang" is a full-length, family-friendly feature film that is positioning Dallas, Texas-based Bright Realty as the foremost developer of master-planned and mixed-use communities.  In the first month since the movie's release, Bright Realty has seen a 40 percent increase in traffic to the community's web site.

On the surface, "Cooper & the Castle Hills Gang" involves viewers with its Disney-like feel - the use of a professional cast, award-winning direction, positive message and upbeat soundtrack.  However, its strength is in its ability to tell a real estate story in a completely new, engaging and relevant way, thereby driving traffic to the community's website, the ultimate goal of the project.   

"Marketing is no longer about selling; it's about engaging the customer," said Castle Hills developer Chris Bright, Bright Realty. "Brochures, open houses and even websites only tell a potential home buyer part of the story. With the Cooper movie, we are able to communicate the vision of Castle Hills in a more meaningful way."  The movie was filmed entirely on location in the north Dallas neighborhood and allows Bright to showcase every aspect of the 2,500 acre master-planned community, the fastest growing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, by involving viewers of all ages in both a pleasing storyline and impressive backdrop.

"Making a full-length movie that engages the entire family, as well as real estate professionals, allows us to demonstrate what it's like to live in Castle Hills and raise a family here.  Buyers understand what they are buying into now, as well as what the community will be like in the future," added Bright.

The movie, which takes lead character Cooper on a quest to help Castle Hills' favorite grandpa find something he has lost, gives viewers a front row view of the community's 30-plus parks, hike-and-bike trails, fishing lakes, sports fields, outdoor plazas and developer-sponsored community events.  It also shows viewers what's to come with its plans for additional retail, dining and entertainment growth.

"As a Realtor, I can take a client on a physical tour of a neighborhood or a home but this gives my clients a 'feel' of what they can expect and it speaks to them on an emotional level," said Dallas Realtor Marian D'Unger, Re/Max DFW Associates IV. "Real estate marketing has progressed from showing homes to posting photos on a website to virtual tours.  This next step is a creative and unusual approach that will, no doubt, increase awareness of the community and ultimately, sales."

"This is a completely new and fresh strategy in real estate marketing and uses social media to tell people about Castle Hills," said Dallas Realtor Victor Vo, Re/Max DFW Associates III. "It's an excellent tool in relocations, for example, for families who may not all have an opportunity to visit the community in person before a move.  It's a more effective tool than viewing photos and descriptions on a website.  This gives families a peek into the sense of community at Castle Hills and what they have to look forward to."

The branded entertainment movie initially debuted as part of the Dallas International Film Festival in April 2011, with a sold out screening at the festival's Family Day event.  It then premiered on huge, outdoor screens in the community's Village Shops and Plaza to more than 2,000 guests.  The screenings featured autograph-signings and Q&As with the stars to build excitement for the movie, which featured more than 700 extras from the community.  Immediately after the screenings, the movie was available for free on http://www.CastleHills.com. 

Since the movie has been available on the website, Bright Realty has seen a 40 percent increase in traffic to the Castle Hills website from the previous month.  There was also an 85 percent increase in traffic to the site from the same month a year ago.  The movie trailer is also widely available on the Internet and in one month alone resulted in a 9 percent increase in visitors to the site from Apple.com's movie trailer site.

"The typical sales or industrial video is an average of five to seven minutes long," said Bright.  "We were able to make ours a full length movie because we engaged viewers with characters, a plot, music and even a little animation along with our message.  This is a new way of telling our story."

About Bright Realty: Bright Realty is a full-service commercial real estate firm based in Dallas, Texas, founded by the late H.R. "Bum" Bright, former Dallas Cowboys owner and businessman. Today, his sons, Chris and Clay, direct the real estate activities and 100+ employees within the Bright organization which also includes oil & gas, homebuilding, banking and golf. Bright Realty specializes in customized property management and accounting; leasing advisory services; tenant representation; development and construction services; asset disposition; and land brokerage. http://www.BrightRealtyCo.com

About Castle Hills: Castle Hills is a 2,500 acre mixed-use golf course community. It has twice been named "Community of the Year" out of more than 700 communities by the Dallas Homebuilders Association. Located west of the North Dallas Tollway and Park Blvd., with easy access to State Hwy 121, it has golf, lakes, parks, beautiful homes, the Castle Hills Village Shops, as well as new custom homes in the gated Enchanted Hill area of the community.   www.CastleHills.com.

For Mauricio Trezub, the association with Ideiasnet will ensure even better and more innovative services for Ciashop's clients. "Framework Ciashop's pioneering platform, considered the most advanced in the market for shopkeepers who also want to be e-commerce leaders, will receive a huge impetus from the partnership with Ideiasnet, gaining access to the  most comprehensive offering of tools that will revolutionize the way we sell on-line,' he explained.

Designed to mirror the traditional "bricks and mortar" tradeshow experience, the online platform features a variety of easy-to-use tools to encourage cross market advertising, education and new business development. For example, the new portal has been created to address the specific algorithms of search engines to increase web "findability" and site traffic.

The web portal has also been designed with human viewers in mind, such as well-crafted content to keep visitors interested and to increase visit counts.

If approved, this deal means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent."

Wapple Launches New Developer Program to Ready 'An Army' of Mobile Web Experts

BROMSGROVE, England, May 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Wapple provides service to some of the largest brands in the world and has an existing channel of large agencies. It also receives thousands of registrations from smaller agencies, web designers & developers who need to create mobile web optimised experiences for their clients or employers, a core of early-adopters who will be key to the maturity of the mobile web.

They will now join the new Program and be able to access Wapple community tutorials, forums, videos and case-studies that will provide and share invaluable knowledge on mobile web design, development, marketing, optimisation and the Wapple suite of technology products: Canvas, Architect & Exhibit.

"In 2004, long before Google, Microsoft and Apple made massive plays into mobile, we predicted a time when every business would have to be ready for this entirely new media.  That time is now and the huge demand for true mobile expertise is imminent," said Anne Thomas, Wapple co-founder and COO.

With more than 85% of the world's handsets now able to access the mobile web, companies and brands, who see up to 10% of their web traffic coming from mobile devices, are desperate to establish and efficiently manage their business on mobile. The Developer Program creates an effective channel for mobile web optimisation that these companies can engage.

"Although web and mobile web share common protocols, they must never be considered the same, not only because of the variances in screen sizes and browser capabilities, but because consumers behave very differently on mobile and expect an experience that caters to this. Our Developer Program enables its user-base to address these critical differences," continued Thomas.

The news follows the company's recent announcement that it has appointed web entrepreneur Simon Lavers as CEO and raised additional investment from new and existing shareholders to expand Wapple's business in EMEA and North America.

Information overload

A single next generation sequencing instrument can generate nearly 200 gigabytes of genomic data per week (equivalent to about 50 full-length DVDs), requiring substantial computational horsepower to both process and analyze the data and find the patterns indicated by rare diseases. LifeScope(TM) offers a highly accurate software solution for genomic data analysis and management, combined with flexible computing options for life scientists and bioinformaticists performing research studies or disease-focused investigations.

"The value of genomic data is only revealed by our ability to make sense of it," said Mark Stevenson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Life Technologies. "LifeScope(TM) offers researchers a simple-to-use software system to speed their research for SNP detection, small RNA analysis and other genomic-related analyses with flexibility in hardware options that best fits their research needs, bringing the best software package to the most accurate sequencers available."

Innovative interface

Featuring secure project management, pushbutton workflows and an intuitive user interface for straightforward genomic data analysis, LifeScope(TM) software speeds genomic analysis though optimized mapping and other analysis algorithms to reduce time to results, with enhanced graphical outputs to simplify data interpretation that is accessible by anyone in the lab.

Christian Gilissen, at the Department of Human Genetics at Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre in the Netherlands, has been using LifeScope with the center's sequencing instruments for researching patients with hereditary diseases.

"We have a very specific focus on identifying Mendelian disease genes by exome resequencing," said Gilissen. "We have used LifeScope(TM) to fully automate the analysis of exome data, allowing our analysis to keep up with sequencing, and obtain consistent reliable results."

Optimized for the 5500 Series Genetic Analyzers

More Than 5 Million Children Under the Age of 10 at Risk; All New MouseMail.com Expressly Designed to Protect Youngest Users from Online Abuse and Predators

Patent-pending technology can send adverse Facebook postings to parents before they reach the child, forewarning them of sexual content or potential problems

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A comprehensive web access portal specially designed for children under 10 is now available for first time users, MouseMail.com, a product of Safe Communications, Inc. (OTC: SGTB), the leading provider of technology safety applications for children, announced today. The service protects kids from online bullies and predators, a serious threat as outlined in a recent study showing that one million children under 13 were harassed or bullied on Facebook in the last year and more than five million Facebook users were under the age of 10.

"The Internet opens a lot of doors for children to learn and grow, but it unfortunately also makes them vulnerable to bullies and online predators," said John Venners, president and CEO of Safe Communications Inc.  "The Consumer Reports study identifies the problem. MouseMail.com is the solution."

Safe Communications recently developed MouseMail.com, a free application that allows parents to filter their child's email and text messages for inappropriate language that is indicative of cyberbullying and/or sexting. The system blocks any outside users from contacting the child and allows communication to flow freely between approved users.

MouseMail.com may also alert parents to questionable Facebook content that indicates potential problems. When something is posted to a child's Facebook page, the child automatically receives an email notification with the posting in it. If the child is a MouseMail.com member using their MouseMail.com email address, the email with derogatory content will be diverted to the parent, alerting them to the posting to any sexual content or threats to the child, potentially before the child is even aware of it.

A Consumer Reports study released May 10 found that 7.5 million children under 13 years old have Facebook accounts, even though underage use is a violation of the site's terms of service. More than 5 million users were under age 10.

"Children are discovering the Internet at younger and younger ages," said Venners. "It's virtually impossible - and potentially destructive - to try to prevent them from using the Internet at all. The key is to teach safe surfing and networking habits from the very beginning and keep lines of communication open so parents are aware of any potential problems as or before they arise."

The study recommended several steps parents can take to protect their kids on Facebook, including monitoring the child's account by becoming their "friend" or having the account deleted entirely, because users under 13-years-old are in violation of Facebook's terms of service. It also stressed the importance of creating safe environments in which they can learn safe surfing habits.

About Safe Communications Inc.

Safe Communications Inc. operates MouseMail.com, which provides children a safe place to interact with progressive technology and social media. MouseMail provides early detection that warns parents of potential abuse and inappropriate content shared and received through electronic devices, such as cell phones, and social networking tools, such as email, text messaging and Facebook.

The system is designed to enhance the quality and frequency of day-to-day communications among family members, offering useful tools such as calendars and task lists in addition to security measures for children. MouseMail.com allows children to experience the advantages of advanced technology while protecting them from potential online threats.

Featuring a truly portable size, easy-to-use features and ZINK® Zero Ink® Technology, the Polaroid GL10 acts as a portable photo booth, giving new life to images stored on cell phones, hard drives and digital cameras through the Polaroid instant experience.

Designed by Polaroid and Lady Gaga, the GL10 Instant Mobile Printer is now available at the Bloomingdale's 59th st. flagship in New York City and will roll out to select Bloomingdale's nationwide in late June.

"Everyday, digital photos capture, memorialize and shape our lives - but they are not given the chance to inspire us because they die on cell phones or digital cameras," said Lady Gaga, Polaroid's Creative Director. "I created the GL10 because everyone loves to take photos with their mobile phones - and the next evolution is to combine digital images with instant photography, bringing photos to life in vibrant colors that you can share, from the palm of your hand."

The 15-ounce GL10 produces Polaroid Classic Border and full bleed 3x4'' photos in less than one minute. Fusing the instant accessibility of today's digital images with the original Polaroid instant experience and ZINK's second-generation thermal technology, the GL10 delivers photo-lab quality prints that emerge fully developed and protected by a smudge-proof, water-resistant coating.

In addition to Bloomingdale's, the GL10 will be available to consumers nationwide on June 17, 2011 on HSN. Tech expert and Polaroid spokesperson Katie Linendoll will showcase the product on-air, demonstrating the next generation of the Polaroid instant experience. Costco.com will carry the GL10 starting on June 20, 2011.

"For more than 74 years, Polaroid photos have intrinsicallycarried personal meaning, unique to each person who views them, and now the GL10 fuses this experience with today's digital photos," said Scott W. Hardy, President, Polaroid. "As we launch the first Polaroid Grey Label product at retail, old and new fans of Polaroid can experience seeing their photos of today in a way that only Polaroid can deliver, with the instant printing experience."

The GL10 Instant Mobile Printer will be available in the US for $169.99 (MSRP). Thirty sheets of ZINK GL10 photo paper will retail in the US for $19.99 (MSRP). Polaroid is also introducing an exclusive and free Android app for fun, fast editing as well as adding borders and special Polaroid filters to enhance pictures prior to printing.

Massachusetts as the best location for our rapidly expanding needs. Privilege
Guard has been very well received by large organizations in the aerospace,
financial, healthcare, federal and state government sectors as well as other
industries here in the US and Canada.

    Organizations upgrading to Microsoft's Windows 7 have had a very positive
impact on our business. This high level of growth has driven our requirement
to add more new hires to our team. This level of expansion ensures Avecto
continues to provide customers with the world class service and support they
have come to expect,"comments Joe.
