CareTech Solutions Unveils iDoc(TM) Savings Calculator

Online Tool Calculates Hospitals' ROI from Hosted Document Imaging Solution

TROY, Mich., May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CareTech Solutions, an information technology and Web products and services provider for more than 180 U.S. hospitals, today unveiled its iDoc(TM) Savings Calculator, at the Michigan Health Information Management Association's annual meeting. Located on the company's website, the online tool will estimate annual savings for an organization after it implements the company's document imaging and management solution.

"CareTech Solutions' iDoc Savings Calculator helps hospitals isolate costs associated with paper-intensive departments and provides an estimate for the annual savings they could generate if they implement iDoc," said Leslie Mack, senior director, Document Imaging and Management, CareTech Solutions. "The rule of 20s says you spend $20 in labor to file a paper document, $120 to find a misfiled document, and $220 to reproduce a lost document. Add to that the cost of paper, toner, folders, labels, copiers, storage space, etc. and you are spending more than you think. The iDoc Savings Calculator will show you how the savings more than offset the cost of iDoc in the first year."

CareTech Solutions' iDoc is a HIPAA compliant document imaging software solution, hosted in a SAS 70 Type II Accredited certified data center that holds the exclusive endorsement of the American Hospital Association. iDoc interfaces with all major business and clinical systems to transform paper and existing electronic medical and business files into one central data repository that can be searched retrieved, shared and edited on the fly.

AT&T Delivering New-Generation Solutions, Helping Business Transform and Innovate 'Like Never Before'

DALLAS, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* is meeting business demand for new generation services, like cloud-based and mobility services, with highly-secure, industrial- grade solutions made possible by a global broadband network - and helping companies of all sizes significantly reduce complexity and costs and innovate at a speed "never before seen in the industry," said Kevin Peters, Chief Marketing Officer, AT&T Business Solutions.

Addressing more than 60 global industry analysts during a two-day annual conference hosted at AT&T's world-renowned Network Operations Center in Bedminster, NJ, Peters said that AT&T is taking advantage of its "unique network assets and expertise to deliver integrated content, applications and services to any enabled device, virtually anytime, anywhere."

Driven by the explosion of smart devices, wireline/wireless networks and software applications, Peters said businesses are quickly adopting new technologies to mobilize and revolutionize their business:

    --  More than 50% of AT&T's business subscribers are using smartphones. The
        BlackBerry® Torch(TM) is one of AT&T's most popular business devices
        since it was launched in August 2010.
    --  In just three months - from the end of 2010 to the end of the first
        quarter of 2011 -- the number of AT&T business tablet subscribers
        increased approximately 150%.
    --  Android(TM) is one of the fastest growing mobile platforms used by AT&T
        enterprise customers.
    --  Adoption of AT&T mobile applications in enterprises has doubled from
        2,500 in the first quarter of 2010 to more than 5,000 in the first
        quarter of this year.
    --  The most popular AT&T mobile applications being used by businesses
        include those developed by AT&T, such as AT&T Enterprise Paging, Mobile
        Remote Access Services from AT&T and several of AT&T's fleet management
        applications.
    --  AT&T provides MPLS-based IP services to 182 countries on over 3,700
        service nodes to meet enterprise customer's global reach and offer them
        the foundation for managed security and cloud services.

AT&T will build off these trends to help companies make the next move to cloud-based environments so they can achieve tremendous efficiencies and flexibility in delivering and supporting applications to any device, Peters added.

To meet demand for solutions that help companies improve their productivity, AT&T today announced it has created a new Advanced Solutions Group, focused on helping more customers adopt mobility, cloud, network sourcing and healthcare solutions.

This is the latest initiative in the company's multi-year, multi-billion program of investment to roll out bundled platforms and services to companies of all sizes across sectors that include manufacturing, retail, hospitality, healthcare and automotive. Earlier this week, AT&T said it is on track to invest $1 billion in 2011 (part of its previously announced $19 billion capital plan) to continue delivering new-generation network solutions, services and support for business customers.

Executives from customer companies are on hand at the conference to highlight solutions developed with AT&T:

    --  Halliburton, one of the world's largest providers of products and
        services to the energy industry, continually explores ways to improve
        employee productivity, increase efficiency of operations and deliver a
        consistent customer experience worldwide. AT&T's Mobile Enterprise
        Applications Platform (MEAP) includes applications that allow
        Halliburton's customers to manage wells from any connected mobile
        device, providing access to relevant data they need to make effective
        decisions quickly. The same applications enable Halliburton's employees
        to access the most up-to-date information on projects they are involved
        in. AT&T's voice, data and Internet solutions also connect Halliburton's
        headquarters and data centers to global locations.
    --  Hilton Worldwide, one of the world's largest hospitality companies, is
        striving to accelerate technology innovation and provide a consistent,
        next-generation guest experience in its hotels across the globe through
        network and mobility solutions. AT&T's mobility, voice and data, Wi-Fi
        and Internet connectivity solutions are helping Hilton Worldwide provide
        an integrated media experience for users across its hotel network.
    --  AT&T is providing Streetblimps with a real-time GPS application that
        reports location data, provides enhanced updates for routes, speed,
        mileage and stops. In addition, it features an enhanced dispatch system
        with picture capture and SMS texting to help with customer validation of
        their advertising investment with Streetblimps.

At today's conference AT&T also announced:

    --  Plans to offer the Cisco Cius(TM) to its business customers. The Cisco
        Cius is an ultra-portable mobile tablet that runs on Android(TM) and
        enables access to essential business applications for virtually
        anywhere, anytime collaboration. Cisco expects the Cius to be available
        for AT&T's HSPA+ network in the fall of 2011.
    --  It is extending the AT&T Office@Hand mobile app for Android users. AT&T
        Office@Hand is a mobile PBX application which allows small businesses
        and enterprise workgroups with an existing wireless account from AT&T to
        configure and manage their office phone system on-the-go.
    --  A new service - AT&T Tech Support 360 Server Support - for small and
        mid-size businesses who can receive wide-ranging care for Windows
        servers from U.S.-based AT&T certified technicians. Among others,
        feature and options available with the service may include 24/7 server
        performance monitoring; security patch management; and management of
        critical business applications, and network and Internet connectivity.
    --  AT&T is participating in World IPv6 Day on June 8 as part of its
        commitment to transitioning to IPv6. On June 8, AT&T will conduct a
        24-hour test drive of IPv6 technology, supporting its enterprise
        customers who are testing the protocol and enabling IPv6 on the YP.COM
        and AT&T Research sites. AT&T has been actively involved in standards
        development and testing for IPv6 since its inception and currently
        offers IPv6-ready networking capabilities and a full suite of consulting
        services to assist business customers with IPv6 readiness and
        transition.

Demand and Pricing for Quality Hotel Rooms is Growing - Getaroom Helps Consumers Lock in Deals Despite Rising Rates

Average Length of Stay and Advance Booking Data Increasing - Travelers Looking Deeper to Find Discounted Hotel Rates

MIAMI, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Getaroom.com, a leading online discount hotel stay company, announced today recent hotel industry booking data and corresponding strategies the company has in place to provide customers with savings.

Industry statistics from HotelMarketing.com illustrate reservations volume and revenue experienced substantial growth in March of 2011. Reservations volume increased by 30 percent, while volume jumped by 42.5 percent compared to prior year numbers. The average daily rate (ADR) data also grew by just below seven percent for the month. As rates enter into a rising trend, travelers on restricted budgets are looking for new tactics to continue saving money on hotel stays.

Getaroom.com data indicates customers are taking advantage of both advance booking and longer stays in order to reduce rates. The site's average advance booking has increased to 21 days, reflecting hotels increasingly offering better rates for 14 or 21-day advance bookings. The average length of hotel stays booked via Getaroom.com has also increased to 2.41 nights per booking, as hotels continue to offer special promotions for longer stays.

Getaroom.com is currently offering flash sales at hundreds of participating hotels for stays through the end of summer or the end of the year. Savings are as much as 60%. In addition, the site's unpublished rate program continues to grow, with more than half of the hotels in its network now participating in the program. The unpublished hotel rates allow customers to book rooms at typically 10 to 20 percent less than the online rate found using major travel websites.

"Increased demand and pricing for hotel room stays should not deter savvy travelers from actively finding the best deals," said Bob Diener, President and Co-Founder of Getaroom.com. "We continue to offer rates below even those of private membership clubs as recently reported in USA Today because we continue to find creative ways to offer consumers value. To obtain optimal savings, we encourage travelers to book in advance and consider longer stays of three to four nights. They should also utilize our unpublished rate program, which continues its exponential growth and is simply the best way for individuals to save more on hotel stays."

Getaroom.com continues to expand its participating hotel network, which now boasts more than 6,000 hotels in over 100 major worldwide markets.

AT&T Announces $1M Commitment in the Fight Against Texting While Driving

AT&T Continues Movement Against the 'New Drunk Driving' as Teen Road Time Spikes with Prom, Graduation and Summer Travel

DALLAS, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A year after launching its campaign against texting behind the wheel, AT&T* is enlisting more groups to join the cause.  The company today announced a four-year series of contributions totaling $1 million to help educate the public and spread the word about its "Txtng & Drivng...It Can Wait" initiative. This announcement kicks off during National Youth Traffic Safety Month - a time when many teens are hitting the roads for prom, graduation parties, summer jobs and road trips with friends.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the No. 1 cause of death for teens in America are traffic crashes. In fact, eight of the 10 deadliest days for young people on the roads annually fall between May and August.(1) And so far, this year alone in the U.S., there have been more than 425,000 crashes involving drivers using cell phones and texting.(2)

AT&T continues to raise awareness about the issue of texting and driving through a multifaceted initiative to educate the general public about using wireless devices safely while driving. The company's 10-minute documentary, "The Last Text," launched in December 2010, and since then, has received nearly 2.3 million views. Across AT&T's Facebook page, AT&T's Friends & Family page and AT&T's employee social media page, nearly 61,000 individuals - teens, parents, employees, and more - have taken the pledge to not text and drive since the campaign launch in March 2010.

The National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS) - a collaborative network of national associations and federal agencies that focus on youth safety and health - will receive the first contribution, totaling $95,000. This funding will allow for development and training for 40 student ambassadors on anti-texting-while-driving education.

In October 2011, these teen ambassadors plan to join officials in Washington, D.C., for the first-ever national texting while driving prevention youth summit. The students will host similar summits within their schools and hometowns throughout the school year, reminding their peers that text messaging can - and should - wait until after driving.

"Our campaign has touched millions in its first year, and this is just the beginning of our movement to reshape wireless customers' behavior by educating them on the grave risks of texting while driving," said Gail Torreano, senior vice president of AT&T Employee Communications and Global Sponsorships.

Laura Sanford, assistant vice president, Corporate Contributions at AT&T, said: "While this message is a critical one for adults and youth alike, we're continuing to focus much of our efforts on teen outreach. Not only are they typically new drivers, but according to a recent Pew Internet Research study, the average teen sends and receives five times more text messages a day than a typical adult.(3) This contribution represents our ongoing commitment to promote responsible ways of using our technology, because ultimately, no text is worth losing a life."

NOYS has played a major role in AT&T's "It Can Wait" campaign efforts to date, and in December 2010, distributed the "The Last Text" documentary to tens of thousands of schools across the country. Providing schools with discussion guides and toolkits, NOYS helped spur thought-provoking dialogue to engage students in the film, which featured real stories of victims whose lives were altered - or even ended - because of texting and driving.

"We are proud to have been a strong advocate for AT&T's anti-texting-and-driving efforts for more than a year now, and we're grateful for their support to further our efforts during National Youth Traffic Safety Month and throughout the year," said Sandy Spavone, executive director of NOYS. "Developing this new cohort of student ambassadors will allow us to empower youth and equip them with the tools they need to encourage peer-to-peer traffic safety, education and learning."

AT&T will contribute a total of $250,000 during the first year of the four-year program, and will announce future contribution recipients for its initial year of funding throughout 2011.

Since 2009, the company has revised its wireless and motor vehicle policies to more clearly and explicitly prohibit texting and driving, impacting its more than 260,000 employees; incorporated a don't-text-and-drive message on the plastic clings that protect handset screens on the majority of new devices sold in AT&T's more than 2,200 company-owned stores; integrated campaign messaging in AT&T catalogs, in-store signage and collateral, bills, e-mails and newsletters and at AT&T-sponsored events; designed a pledge for its Facebook and employee pages; and more. AT&T's 10-minute documentary has been screened in thousands of schools in the U.S., as well as in drivers' education classes, state police agencies, public health organizations and numerous government agencies and safety organizations; and the film appears on AT&T U-verse® platforms, AT&T social media and employee and product pages.

Cooliris Redefines Visual Content Discovery for iPad with Specialized Decks Apps

Experience a visually striking, fresh way to find the best iPad apps, catch the latest movie or discover Flickr photos on iPad

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cooliris (http://www.cooliris.com) has unveiled a suite of specialized Decks apps for iPad that give users a personalized, visually stunning way of finding apps, picking a movie or DVD or discovering favorite Flickr shots. As if they were leafing through a digital catalogue, users can seamlessly flip through the handy Decks for Apps, Decks for Movies, and Decks for Flickr, all without having to endure the standard clunky browser experience. In addition to the Apple iTunes store, the free Decks apps are available at http://www.decksapp.com.

"Content discovery on iPad should be a fun and immersive experience," said Soujanya Bhumkar, Cooliris co-founder and chief executive officer. "Now with our specialized Decks apps, we're able to deliver a more engaging and beautiful way to download the hottest app, discover the latest blockbuster or discover and share Flickr favorites."

When they tap a "card," it flips over and presents the users with additional information and numerous options, such as the ability to share the content via email, Facebook or Twitter.

Among the features: Decks for Apps cuts the drudgery of looking through long lists of available apps by allowing shoppers to sample the top 50 free, paid and grossing apps, one at a time, much like they would flip through a digital mail-order catalogue. Decks for Movies lets customers peruse what's currently in theaters, see what's new on DVD or Blu-ray, or buy movie tickets from Fandango or the film from Amazon or iTunes; and Decks for Flickr lets users create albums with user names and tags, allowing for a rich, fluid experience of thematically linked pictures.

Decks is powered by the PageKit(TM) technology, built by Cooliris to render dynamic content with a fast and fluid experience on iOS at significantly smaller download sizes.

Explore Consulting Announces Facebook Webstore SuiteApp for NetSuite's Cloud Computing Platform

New SuiteApp Helps NetSuite Ecommerce Customers Boost Sales By Creating Shop Tabs for Their Facebook Fan Pages

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Explore Consulting, a leading professional services company and member of the SuiteCloud Developer Network, today announced a new Facebook Webstore NetSuite (NYSE: N) Application for the NetSuite SuiteCloud Computing Platform. The solution lets the e-tailer create a shop tab on their Facebook Fan Page to showcase products from their online store.  Built using NetSuite's SuiteCloud development platform, the new SuiteApp can help NetSuite customers increase sales by expanding their shopping audiences quickly and inexpensively. 

The announcement was made today at SuiteWorld 2011, NetSuite's inaugural conference designed for NetSuite customers, solution providers, independent software providers, developers and system integrators. SuiteWorld 2011 is being held in San Francisco.

NetSuite's SuiteCloud is a comprehensive offering of on-demand products, development tools, and services designed to help customers and commercial software developers take advantage of the significant economic benefits of cloud computing. The complete SuiteCloud offering includes NetSuite's multi-tenant, always-on SaaS infrastructure; the NetSuite Business Suite of applications for Accounting/ERP, CRM and Ecommerce; and comprehensive development tools to create cloud-based business applications on top of NetSuite.

"This new SuiteApp puts NetSuite e-tailers into the driver's seat on social shopping trends," says Explore Consulting COO and co-founder Jeremy DeSpain. "Facebook has millions of active users, many of whom log on in any given day.  I'm excited to see the viral effect of what this could do for our customers' sales volumes and bottom line."

The Explore Consulting solution features Like, Share, and Comments functions, and includes the ability to post on personal Wall and Recommendations.  It supports Twitter by allowing the shopper to Tweet on a product and see the count of all Tweets on a particular product.  Shoppers can search by keyword and category to find relevant products, and can drill into the item's page to see details and pictures.

Working with NetSuite

With the NetSuite Application, NetSuite customers can publish their existing NetSuite product catalogs into any business Fan Page, and, because the SuiteApp drives buyers from Facebook back into the existing webstore embedded directly into Facebook, can still leverage existing NetSuite software for managing sales, returns and order fulfillment.  The SuiteApp is bundled as a complete package, is transparent to social shoppers, and simplifies maintenance of the Facebook webstore because product, pricing, taxonomy, and stock-on-hand functions are managed within NetSuite, without requiring new coding or Facebook development.

"Facebook offers an immense marketing opportunity for retailers, and they don't need a lot of new development to enter the market," Guido Haarmans, Vice President of Developer Programs and Business Development at NetSuite.  "This SuiteApp lets them plug into Facebook from within the NetSuite software, so they can maximize their competitive advantage in a minimum timeframe."

LAUGH OUT LOUD THIS SUMMER WHEN TWO LEGENDARY CLASSIC COMEDIES DEBUT ON BLU-RAY(TM) FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON JULY 26, 2011

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

OVERVIEW:  Universal Studios Home Entertainment presents two beloved comedies that spawned a pop culture phenomenon, National Lampoon's Animal House and The Blues Brothers, both debuting July 26, 2011 on Blu-ray(TM) for the first time.  Directed by John Landis and starring John Belushi, both films are newly remastered in high definition, allowing fans to experience the laughs like never before with perfect picture and the purest digital sound.

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE:

Starring comedy legend John Belushi (The Blues Brothers, "Saturday Night Live"), National Lampoon's Animal House is the ultimate college movie filled with food fights, fraternities and toga parties!  Follow the uproarious escapades of the Delta House fraternity as they take on Dean Wormer (John Vernon, Dirty Harry), the sanctimonious Omegas, and the entire female student body.  Directed by John Landis, the most popular college comedy of all-time also stars Tim Matheson (Sometimes They Come Back, "The West Wing"), Donald Sutherland (The Eagle, M*A*S*H), Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Kevin Bacon (Mystic River, Footloose), Thomas Hulce (Amadeus), and Stephen Furst ("St. Elsewhere"), along with music legends Otis Day and the Knights performing their show-stopping rendition of 'Shout.'

PlumChoice's patented SAFElink(TM) platform enables large companies such as ISPs, OEMs, wireless providers and retailers to efficiently launch a premium service business that drives customer satisfaction and loyalty.   With its proven technology and infrastructure, PlumChoice has become the recognized leader in the premium technology care market with its focus on CSAT and effective service delivery.  Having already developed the capability to resolve the most complex consumer and small business technology issues remotely, PlumChoice will leverage this acquisition to extend its innovative service and platform to help companies further reduce their Tier 1 service costs and improve customer experiences.

Tific's automated IT support solutions are used by some of the largest U.S. and European companies to automatically diagnose and resolve technical problems and help technicians perform their work more efficiently and effectively.  The integration of PlumChoice's premium service platform provides a seamless solution to access live expertise and support for programming and deployment of tools when needed--either by end-users or tech-support professionals. Likewise, Tific's service automation portfolio provides PlumChoice with instant access to world-leading support tools that fit perfectly into PlumChoice's existing consumer and SMB premium support service offering.

This new solution overcomes obstacles in the tools-only deployment model with a more comprehensive service model that offers greater revenue potential for corporate partners with the ability to accelerate performance, reduce unnecessary issue escalation and streamline resources for more efficient operations.

"Tific tools provide services to tens of millions of users worldwide with a terrific reputation for innovative problem solving.  Tific shares our 'Service 2.0' vision for successful service solutions that combine excellent tools to solve problems automatically and assist with the ongoing support of more complex issues," said PlumChoice CEO Ted Werth, the pioneer in premium technology services.  "By joining forces, PlumChoice will continue to deliver the leading service platform."

The market has matured over the past 24 months with increasing demand for automation mixed with service. "The combination of PlumChoice's service innovation, tremendous reach and reputation for high-quality services with Tific tools will dramatically accelerate Tific's growth," said Par Ribbner, former CEO of Tific, who will take on the dual roles of President of Tific and Senior Vice President at PlumChoice.   Tific will operate as a separate unit.  "With the acquisition and growth investment from PlumChoice, our team is energized and excited about the opportunity to expand in the U.S. and capitalize on the market opportunity for Service 2.0."

"The acquisition of Tific provides PlumChoice with significant capabilities," said Kurt Scherf, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Parks Associates. "PlumChoice's acquisition of EveronIT earlier this year enhanced its capabilities to address the unique needs of small- and medium-sized businesses, an area of increasing focus for technical support service providers. Tific's service automation portfolio is an example of a key technology need for service delivery suppliers both on a U.S. and an international basis. Our recent research shows this market growing dramatically and this type of combination will position PlumChoice even further into a leadership position."

Panorama Software Debuts Its Next Gen BI Solution - Necto

First BI solution to bring social media, relevancy and automated insights to the enterprise arena, enabling massive efficiency gains

TORONTO, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Panorama Software, a leading innovator in Business Intelligence, presents its newest product - Panorama Necto, the industry's first socially-enabled BI solution. Necto connects users with data and insights in ways never before seen in an enterprise environment. It reflects the consumer world of Web 2.0 communications that is highly social, relevant, self-service, user-centirc, and able to flexibly evolve to meet demands.

Panorama is the first company to take the consumer model of social media to an enterprise, providing a new way to accomplish business tasks that embraces the broader social networking phenomenon. Necto combines the power of social networking with relevant results. It tracks the interests of individual users, and suggests other users who are looking for similar data insights.

"Necto truly is the next leap forward in enterprise BI, which harnesses the power of collective intelligence to accomplish business goals," said Eynav Azarya, CEO of Panorama Software. "The solution utilizes the very best social networking components of consumer-facing Web 2.0 sites. Through Necto, individuals and teams can now tackle business issues proactively, as it presents only the most relevant insights."

Necto is the first business intelligence solution to provide users with the power of contextual discovery instead of just simple search. Enhanced relevancy is accomplished through Necto's "One Click Insights" which pinpoint issues, and its "Cause and Effect" which automatically identifies the causes of these issues. Users no longer have to sort through mounds of superfluous data in the hopes of finding one or two insights. Necto does the work, providing true relevancy while saving time and resources.

Necto offers users a self-service BI solution that allows a broad expansion of their unique business insights. The intuitive and powerful interface allows users to quickly create custom views and reports for tailored analysis. User confidence in the system and analysis grows exponentially with time, both as a result of the self-service capabilities, as well as the ability to learn from the experience of others. This is why Necto drastically reduces dependence on IT for report generation and data mining, allowing them to focus more on infrastructure and deployment issues.

"Necto offers three core attributes for users including social intelligence, relevancy and self-service," said Rony Ross, Chairperson and Founder of Panorama Software. "Each attribute works in tandem with the other to provide exceptionally deep insights and a rapid growth of useful corporate intellectual property. Our solution embraces the power of the group and the individual at the same time, and enables a seamless blending of information and learning across business units."

Users can perform a range of activities through Necto that enable greater business insights. Analytics are automatically performed to suggest exceptions and see positive or negative trends. Users can perform smart reporting that offers executive management-level reporting with just a few clicks. Users can also create collaborative workboards and visual presentations to provide better context for ad hoc business teams. All of these capabilities are backed by an intelligent BI engine that can scale to meet the needs of tens of thousands of users handling massive amounts of data.

"Panorama has been a long term partner of Microsoft, delivering BI solutions for the Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010. These innovations add great value to our partners' products," said Kim Akers, general manager for Global ISV partners at Microsoft Corp. "Necto will be one of the first socially enabled BI solutions to work on slate and be interoperable with the Windows Azure and Microsoft next SQL Server release 'Denali' platforms while supporting both OLAP and BISM modes."

Current customers of Panorama's industry-leading NovaView BI solution can easily migrate to the Panorama Necto platform to immediately begin using its social capabilities. For more information, visit http://www.panorama.com.

About Panorama Software:

Panorama Software empowers individuals and global organizations with the ability to rapidly analyze data, identify trends, maximize business opportunities and improve corporate performance and results through a complete SaaS and on-premise BI solution.

Panorama Necto(TM) is the industry's first socially-enabled Business Intelligence solution that offers a new way to connect data, insights, and people in the organization. The patent-pending solution represents a new generation of BI that enables enterprises to leverage the power of Social Intelligence to gain insights more quickly, more efficiently, and with greater relevancy.

Magic Software Launches Offering for Mobile Deployment of Enterprise Applications

First Phase Includes Support for BlackBerry

OR YEHUDA, Israel, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC), a global provider of Cloud-enabled and on-premise application platforms and business integration solutions, today announced the launch of its new uniPaaS offering for mobile deployment of enterprise applications. Magic Software's mobile offering successfully addresses even the most complex work flow scenarios, such as deployment of multiple core enterprise applications across multiple back-end systems, and targets the widest range of smartphones, without compromising functionality or security.

Magic Software's mobile offering is a powerful application platform for developing enterprise solutions that run natively on multiple smartphone platforms. The platform can also extend the reach of existing core business applications to any smartphone. This versatile solution enables smartphone users not only to access a vast array of mobile applications, but also to perform any business task, such as securely accessing ERP, CRM, or HR systems, in real-time and from any location, with the user-friendly experience of their mobile phone.

Mobile technology is the fastest growing area of software development in the world today. According to Gartner, in 2010, worldwide smartphone sales to end users totalled approximately 300 million units, an increase of 72% as compared with 2009. Enterprise mobile users throughout the global business community (numbering 1.19 billion by 2013, and accounting for 34.9% of the workforce, according to a recently published IDC forecast) want and expect to be connected to their core enterprise systems from their mobile devices wherever they are; in business meetings, in transit, or out to lunch.

"With today's proliferation of smartphones, companies require a mobile development strategy that targets multiple operating systems," said Guy Bernstein, CEO of Magic Software. "Our solution addresses the challenges of enterprise mobility by providing enterprises with a device-independent and future-proof approach. With this new offering, we can provide organizations, and in particular corporate IT teams, with a highly efficient and versatile platform for developing mobile enterprise applications, as well as presenting independent software vendors (ISVs) with a golden opportunity to generate new business. In addition, this offering not only supports mobile deployment, but also paves the way for Cloud deployment of enterprise applications with the same development effort."

Magic Software's mobile offering is delivered by its metadata-driven uniPaaS application platform, based on proven RIA technology and combined with enterprise application integration capabilities. uniPaaS enables the most cost-effective and seamless deployment of mobile, Cloud, RIA, Web, desktop, and SOA applications, as developers can use a single development effort for all these modes of deployment. The same single development paradigm supports all mobile operating systems, including Apple iOS, Google Android, RIM BlackBerry, and any future mobile platform.

In phase I of this launch, Magic Software is offering support for the BlackBerry mobile platform, which, according to Forrester's Forrsights Workforce Employee Survey 2010, is currently the most widely used mobile platform in the world for enterprise-related tasks. The support for BlackBerry comes in addition to Magic Software's support for the Windows Mobile platform, and demonstrates the ability of the mobile offering's core architecture to support multiple client operating systems from a single application source.

Leveraging years of proven experience, a large and fast-growing installed base, and established technological leadership, Magic Software brings a Total Mobility Experience for any enterprise application on any smartphone, now and in the future.

Semantic advertising pioneer to enable context and brand safety on impressions in real time and in 12 languages

NEW YORK and LONDON, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Crystal Semantics, the pioneer in semantic advertising solutions, today announced deployment of its leading semantic targeting technology within AppNexus, the real-time advertising platform used by ad networks, demand-side platforms, and other leading online advertising companies.

The co-operation enables clients of the AppNexus platform to target campaign relevant content by selecting from Crystal Semantics 3800+ semantic categories to optimize their display advertising campaigns. The addition of this data assists platform users to make a more informed decision about context when bidding on impressions within the platform. Additionally, users will be able to utilize Crystal's brand safety categories to identify content which may compromise or damage brand values, a capability which enhances AppNexus' industry-leading brand safety controls. The functionality is currently available across 12 languages.

"Context still matters to link the target audience to their environment," said Crystal Semantics co-founder and Managing Director Ian Saunders. "By deploying on the AppNexus platform, Crystal Semantics empowers users to select the content that is both relevant and brand safe. Our semantic data provides buyers with the ability to target specific contexts across a range of languages and avoid impressions that may be inappropriate either through being irrelevant or because the content is objectionable. With Crystal Semantics data available on the AppNexus platform, all buyers now have access to a solution that offers better visibility, enhanced performance, increased profitability while offering peace of mind."

Innovators within the online advertising ecosystem are seeking to collate more and more data points to bring about performance increases throughout the entire process from planning, through delivery to in flight optimization and post campaign analytics. Crystal Semantics' unique and patented solution provides real time insight into the content and with a methodology that does not compromise the privacy of the individual.

"Crystal Semantics offers the industry's most comprehensive multilingual capabilities--critical for global clients who operate across borders," said Mike Nolet, CTO, AppNexus. "Few have solved this technical challenge at scale and we're excited to offer our customers this great technology to help maximize return on their campaigns."

About Crystal Semantics

Crystal Semantics, is a leading innovator in the field of semantic advertising. The company developed SenseEngine(TM) delivers significantly more accurate and powerful analysis of the context of webpages. By applying human "senses" and concepts that current Natural Language Processing systems, algorithms, semantic systems and other statistical techniques cannot match, SenseEngine uniquely uses human linguistic intuition, tapping into the semantic relationships between words and the contexts in which they occur. This has resulted in the development of a comprehensive and proprietary ontology which is leveraged to provide a detailed and granular classification of webpage content, enabling exchanges, networks, agencies and publisher to reap the benefits of relevance and improve monetization.

The Crystal Semantics suite of products offers content categorization and page level brand protection, enabling controversial content to be identified and for ad impressions to be suppressed from appearing alongside such content.

Every day, Crystal Semantics is currently indexing billions of impressions across 12 languages to provide real time data services to platforms and services in the emerging online advertising ecosystem.

Crystal Semantics is a subsidiary of the publicly quoted, ad pepper media group and was founded in April 2001 by Ian Saunders and Professor David Crystal, a world authority in linguistics. The company has offices in New York and London.

Verizon Expands Managed Mobility Portfolio to Support Tablets, Personal Devices, Cloud-Based Applications

Powerful New Offerings Help Employees Work Almost Anywhere, Anytime on Virtually Any Device

NEW YORK, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --To help companies meet the challenge of managing and securing their applications on an increasing variety of mobile devices used by employees, including their own devices, Verizon is expanding and enhancing its managed mobility portfolio.

The new capabilities feature:

    --  Management and security for both corporate- and employee-owned iOS and
        Android OS (operating system)-based tablets.
    --  A new enterprise application portal that resides on a device and allows
        mobile workers to obtain required business applications.
    --  New anti-virus and firewall capabilities to protect intellectual assets
        in a mobile environment.

These capabilities are available immediately in the U.S. and are scheduled to be introduced in Europe next month and in Asia-Pacific and Latin America later this year.

"An explosion of mobile devices over the past few years has fundamentally changed the way we work and blurred the line between our personal and professional lives," said Carrie Gray, enterprise mobility executive director with Verizon.  "The desire of employees to choose their device has left CIOs and IT departments grappling with how to protect sensitive company data.  Verizon is creating an environment for enterprises to unleash business applications, while controlling costs and securing company assets across their mobile carrier environment."

Management and Security for Tablets

Verizon Managed Mobility customers can now add iOS and Android OS-based tablets to the mix of devices that can be deployed to their workforces.  Verizon delivers management and security capabilities for the tablet devices through Afaria software from Sybase, an SAP company, providing enterprise-to-edge security and back-office application extension capabilities such as security policy enforcement, application delivery and control over device management profiles.

Verizon also introduced a new on-device portal for managing enterprise applications that are required or recommended for specific user groups.  By having the ability to mandate or authorize applications for various groups and individuals, companies can enable greater productivity while also maintaining command, control and security.

Kitty Weldon, principal analyst at Current Analysis, said, "Verizon continues to enhance a leading portfolio of solutions that enterprise customers should seriously consider if they are struggling with managing a range of devices from smartphones to tablets. "

The Verizon Managed Mobility portfolio leverages the strength of Verizon's world-class IP and wireless networks but can be used with any carrier.  The portfolio is designed to improve an enterprise's mobility program in four key areas: mobile device management and security, inventory and expense management, mobile services enablement platform, and logistics.

Enterprise Apps From the Cloud

Separately, the company also announced on Wednesday (May 11) an expansion of its agreement with SAP to jointly market and sell key components of Verizon's Managed Mobility portfolio (Mobile Device Management and Security and Mobile Services Enablement Platform).  This will enable customers to easily access their on-premises and cloud-based SAP® applications virtually anytime, anywhere via the Verizon business-class cloud.  The updated agreement makes Verizon the first SAP partner to provide end-to-end enterprise cloud and mobility offerings.

Verizon is a global leader in driving better business outcomes for enterprises and government agencies. Verizon delivers integrated IT and communications solutions via its high-IQ global IP and mobility networks to enable businesses to securely access information, share content and communicate.

The updated agreement makes Verizon the first SAP partner to provide end-to-end enterprise cloud and mobility offerings.

In separate news, Verizon today announced enhancements to its Managed Mobility portfolio that will enable stronger security features and enhanced capabilities for SAP and Verizon customers, including support for industry-leading iOS and Android OS-based tablets. These new enhancements feature the Afaria® mobile device management solution, and provide enterprise-to-edge security and back-office application extension capabilities such as security policy enforcement, application delivery and device management profiles.

"SAP is consistently looking for simplified and secure ways for customers to use our solutions, while increasing agility and also reducing total cost of ownership," said Kaj van de Loo, senior vice president, Technology Strategy, SAP.  "Verizon provides a secure, high-performance cloud infrastructure that's ideal for the delivery of mobile applications from SAP, and this agreement and co-sell arrangement further accelerate the value companies can gain from our offerings while controlling costs for an immediate business benefit."

Through Verizon's leading cloud platform, Computing as a Service (CaaS), enterprises can tap into the benefits of mobile applications delivered from the cloud to make the virtual office even more functional. CaaS offers clients the ability to manage and control their computing environments via a secure Web portal. Also, enterprises can add additional security and resiliency features to maintain a robust environment for the delivery of mobile applications.

"Companies today are increasingly utilizing the cloud to provide speed and access to business information in order to gain a competitive edge," said Kerry Bailey, group president of cloud strategy and services, Verizon. "By working with SAP to provide the business-class cloud platform for mobile application delivery, enterprises can transform their business by truly enabling the productivity of mobile employees so they don't miss a beat."

SAP Extends Relationship With Verizon
