Ready Wireless Announces Lifeline Reload Plans

Airfair Wireless lets Lifeline subscribers reload in thousands of locations nationwide

HIAWATHA, Iowa, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ready Wireless, LLC announces new partnerships with multiple wireless Lifeline providers enabling over two million program beneficiaries to purchase additional airtime when monthly benefit minutes are depleted.

Dozens of U.S. companies offer mobile telephones and service at reduced or no cost to eligible beneficiaries through the federal Lifeline program of the Universal Service Fund (USF).  Until now, many beneficiaries of the Lifeline program were unable to use their mobile phones after monthly benefit minutes were used up.  Once benefit minutes were gone, users often had to wait for new benefit minutes to be automatically loaded in the following month.  With the introduction of the Ready Wireless reload program, users are now able to purchase additional minutes at thousands of participating retailers allowing for uninterrupted, continuous mobile telephone service.

In the past, providers of Lifeline mobile services often lacked a presence in the national or regional retail locations in which users are accustomed to buying prepaid airtime.  "Reachout Wireless subscribers will have the ability to obtain optional additional airtime at thousands of national and regional retail locations via Airfair," said Steven Fenker, president of Nexus Communications.  "It's very convenient, and this is how our customers are used to buying prepaid airtime."

This innovative Ready Wireless program allows Lifeline beneficiaries to purchase Ready Mobile branded airtime at thousands of convenient retail locations. Purchases are then applied to beneficiaries' existing Lifeline mobile telephones allowing for uninterrupted service.

For retailers, speed to market is a critical element of the program.  "There has been significant downward pressure on retail airtime sales during the past year," said Fred Haumesser, co-founder and EVP of Sales at Ready Wireless.  "It is evident to both Ready Wireless and our retail partners that the growth of the mobile Lifeline product is playing a major role in the erosion of stand-alone pre-paid product sales. This program will allow retailers to sell airtime to Lifeline beneficiaries and, therefore, quickly recapture a share of those lost revenues."

In addition to this program, Ready Wireless has announced a stand-alone lifeline reload brand called Airfair Wireless, set to roll out in May 2011 in over 40,000 retail locations.

The program is open to most wireless Lifeline providers.  Interested parties should contact Ready Wireless via email Fhaumesser@readymobile.com.

About Ready Wireless:

Ready Wireless offers prepaid wireless services nationally.  Its handsets and broadband devices are available in over 30,000 retail locations nationwide.  Airtime reloads are available in over 80,000 locations nationwide.  Retail partners include Dollar General, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Murphy USA, Cumberland Farms, Stripes, Fred's, Speedway, Pilot, Travel Centers of America, Meijer, Village Pantry, Huck's, Radio Shack, and Duane Reade. http://www.readymobile.com

About Nexus Communications:

Nexus Communications' mission is to simplify the process of obtaining telephone service for consumers on a budget. Through its TSI Homephone program, the company offers hassle free activation, and quality services at reduced rates to qualifying customers.. Through its Reach Out Wireless program, Nexus provides free wireless activation and quality services at reduced rates to qualifying customers.  TSI serves home phone subscribers living in more than 24 states across the country and Reach Out serves wireless customers in 12 states. 

About the Lifeline program:

The Lifeline Assistance program provides discounts on basic monthly service for wireless service at the primary residence to income-eligible consumers. This program is supported by the federal Universal Service Fund (USF) and administered by The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with the help of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC)

AT&T Invests in Georgia Network to Deliver Most-Advanced Mobile Broadband Experience

Plans Call for Addition of Nearly 100 New Cell Sites and the Expansion of Backhaul in 2011 as Part of Initiative to Drive 4G Speeds, Increase Wireless Network Capacity

ATLANTA, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today announced plans to add nearly 100 new cell sites and upgrade more than 370 cell sites across Georgia as part of its 2011 initiative to deliver the nation's most-advanced mobile broadband experience.

The Georgia wireless network enhancements are part of AT&T's planned $19-billion investment in its national wireless and wireline networks and other capital projects in 2011. The investment will support plans to enable 4G speeds over an increasing portion of the country throughout the year, including the planned initial launch of LTE beginning mid-year and the deployment of enhanced backhaul connections that enable 4G speeds**.

The 2011 investment will also support the build and upgrade of thousands of cell sites nationwide designed to increase network speed, coverage and reliability for both mobile voice and broadband services. AT&T also plans to install additional radio "carriers" at more than 30,000 cell sites nationally this year, enabling new layers of spectrum capacity to carry larger volumes of mobile broadband traffic. This additional capacity enables AT&T to support rising mobile data traffic volumes, which have increased more than 8,000 percent over the past four years.

Today's announcement builds on the momentum established during AT&T's 2010 wireless investment, when it added 49 new cell sites in Georgia and upgraded 140 sites to mobile broadband. From 2008 to 2010, AT&T's capital investment in its Georgia  wireline and wireless networks was more than $3.3 billion.

"A more advanced mobile broadband experience drives economic growth, stimulates jobs and equips Georgia businesses to meet the network demands of today and tomorrow," said Sylvia Russell, state president, AT&T Georgia. "We've significantly ramped up our wireless investments to enable an experience that offers Georgia consumers better speed, better reliability and better availability. In addition, our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA also represents a major commitment to strengthen and expand our network in  Georgia. 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 95 percent."

AT&T also continues to drive innovation in network technologies to provide maximum efficiency and performance for customers.  In 2011, AT&T will focus on continuing to enhance its wireless network forecasting capabilities to better predict usage trends and build network capacity to always stay one step ahead of customer need.  AT&T also continues to pioneer broadband solutions for high-traffic areas like stadiums and public places, deploying technologies including Distributed Access System networks and AT&T Wi-Fi hotzones.

"Smartphones, tablets and laptops are continuing to drive unprecedented demand for wireless access everywhere," said Keith Holmes, AT&T's vice president and general manager for the Georgia market. "Wi-Fi investments are critical for meeting these needs and ensuring an advanced broadband experience."

AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to more than 135,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly data plans.

AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the broadest international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.

Youku Upgrades Fingerprinting System for Tougher Copyright Protection Measures

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Vobile, a leading provider of video content identification and management services and Youku.com Inc., China's leading Internet television company, announced today that it has begun offering copyright holders increased protection against copyright infringement through upgrades to its video fingerprinting system--the biggest upgrade since Youku launched its own copyright identification management platform, the first to be developed by a Chinese internet company, in January 2010.

The update to Youku's copyright identification management platform comes on the heels of the company's agreement with major Hollywood studios regarding content protection. In addition to Youku's proprietary copyright screening system, now videos uploaded to Youku will be simultaneously checked against the VideoDNA Database (VDDB) developed by Vobile, a leading international provider of fingerprinting technology. The new platform provides unrivalled accuracy, and can generate fingerprint information for videos in a matter of minutes and compare them to existing fingerprints within less than a second.

"Youku has acquired content rights at an unprecedented rate over the past year," said Youku Chairman and CEO Victor Koo, "and we intend to continue working with media content providers to make sure that we offer the richest range of licensed video content. We are serious about maintaining good relationships with our partners, and to that end we will continue to offer rights-protection measures that equal or surpass industry standards."

As a founding member of the China Network Copyright Committee, Youku has led the way for Chinese companies in protecting content creators' rights online. The company now continues its tradition of respect for copyright by partnering with Vobile, whose technology can identify copyrighted content even in cases where uploaders have deliberately tampered with the video or audio to reduce identifiability, thus offering a strong additional layer of protection for studios and rights holders.

"Vobile worked with Youku to integrate its technology into the site's existing framework," said Youku CTO Leo Jian Yao. "The seamless integration between our systems means that Youku can check uploaded content against our own databases in parallel with Vobile's. We will be updating our fingerprint databases every day through our partnership with Vobile, ensuring that our systems are up to date at all times. Respect for intellectual property rights is every bit as important to us as it is to our content partners, and we will continue to develop and strengthen our copyright protection measures in the future."

"Vobile has provided its industry-leading VDNA content identification and management services to partners around the world," said Vobile founder and CEO Yangbin Wang. "We're excited to work with Youku in close partnership and help Youku ensure that it provides licensed, high-quality TV and film content to the world's largest Internet market."

The Wound Institute® Launches Online Patient Education

Designed to Empower Patients Managing Chronic Wounds

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wound Institute today announced the launch of a new online resource for patients and their caregivers offering disease state education to empower them in managing difficult-to-heal and chronic wounds. The new online site will initially offer three educational modules, available in either English or Spanish language versions: 1) Sores That Will Not Heal; 2) Debridement of Sores (debridement refers to the removal of dead tissue to prepare a wound for healing); and 3) Treatment of Sores. The educational resources are made available at no cost to patients and caregivers, and can be accessed at http://www.TheWoundInstitute.com.

The educational modules, developed in conjunction with the Patient Education Institute (Iowa City, Iowa), will also be featured on the patient advocacy site of the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC; http://www.aawconline.org/aawc-blog/) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) online resource for consumer education called MedlinePlus (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/). All modules have been written to meet Health Care Literacy Standards.

"Education about wounds and their treatment is critical to achieve maximum cooperation among patient, caregiver and their healthcare provider," noted Terry Treadwell, MD, FACS and AAWC president.  "When all understand the importance of a recommended treatment approach, caregivers can encourage adherence to the regimen and patients will understand the need for compliance, resulting in improved treatment success and greater satisfaction with outcomes."     

The goal of each module is to provide the patient or their caregiver with information that helps them better understand the causes of their wound, as well as their treatment options. The modules allow the learner to control their educational pace and the course content can be printed out for future reference and to facilitate discussion with healthcare professionals.

"We are pleased to join forces with The Wound Institute to bring patients and their caregivers objective information and support tools that will help them manage the challenges associated with their wound care," commented William J. Ennis, DO, MBA and AAWC past-president. "These educational offerings represent a welcome addition to our recently launched Patient Advocacy Campaign, which was designed to create an organized, collective, singular voice to elevate the importance of the patient in the multidisciplinary approach to wound care."

"We are excited to extend our partnership with the wound care community to include patients and their caregivers," added Komel Grover, Director of Medical Education at Healthpoint Biotherapeutics. "We plan to further expand the educational offerings with the goal of fostering an ongoing and beneficial dialogue between patients, caregivers and their healthcare providers."

About The Wound Institute®

Since its inception in 2005, The Wound Institute has become the industry leader for interactive continuing wound care education provided at no cost to its membership of 35,000-plus healthcare professionals.

DCH Advertising Agency Switches to DediPower and Saves 40% on Hosting Costs

READING, England, April 19, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - Smooth Migration to Cloud Hosting Platform Delivers Significant
Performance and Cost Benefits

    Cloud and Managed Hosting expert, DediPower, has achieved significant
cost savings for London-based integrated agency DCH, which manages and
directs international communications requirements for more than 20
high-profile clients, including Nikon, D-Link, Invisalign, Fuller's,
Discovery Foods, MG, and The Football League.

    By moving to DediPower's virtualised Private Cloud hosting platform, DCH
has achieved a 40% saving on previous hosting expenditure and gained three
times more capacity and 100% availability. It has reduced infrastructure from
10 to 4 servers with a subsequent reduction in associated operating and
energy costs.

    "Maintaining 100% availability is fundamental to our high profile client
websites so we need a service we can rely on at all times, whatever the
demands," states Phil Hobgen, Technical Director, DCH. "Our system has to be
versatile enough to handle both web hosting and the deployment of high volume
targeted email campaigns. Security is another key parameter - particularly
because of the large volumes of sensitive customer information held for
direct digital campaigns."

    Hobgen reveals, "Our experience of DediPower is very positive. It offers
a compelling combination of entrepreneurial drive and a real passion for
customer service and support as well as obvious technical strengths. Using
the latest server virtualisation techniques, Dedipower is able to run DCH's
systems at maximum efficiency; providing flexible capacity that can be scaled
up as well as out. This means the system offers enough capacity to deal with
new DCH client campaigns and websites without adding new servers.

    Hobgen, confirms, "DediPower ensures we have the right technical
knowledge in the right place to make sure we operate as effectively as
possible. We are much more competitive as a result. Their support is
excellent; we deal with the people who are actively designing and running our
host system so they are 100% focussed on our needs. Due to DediPower's
diligence and professionalism, we were able to migrate our system, to budget
and in exact timescales - and with absolutely no disruption to our clients."

    Chris Miller, CEO, DediPower, adds, "Working with some of the country's
leading digital agencies, DediPower understand the challenges they face
providing 24/7 digital presence for multiple clients. We can help them to
meet these with resilient, elastic and competitively priced Cloud hosting and
intelligent, responsive support."

American Well Launches Online Care for Providers, Bringing Telehealth to Practices Nationwide

New offering allows care encounters with patients at home or work, using Web or phone, while supporting shift toward Accountable Care contracts

BOSTON, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Well(TM) today unveiled Online Care For Providers, a new offering in its Online Care Suite that enables physician practices nationwide to offer live, on-demand consultations to patients in their homes or workplaces, using the Web or phone.  As a result, physicians can now incorporate telehealth services- once limited to provider-to-provider communications between major medical centers - into their daily patient care, while positioning their practices for growth in the changing healthcare landscape.

The system was already honored with a gold medal at the 2011 Edison Best New Product Awards(TM).  Providers can learn more about and even order the solution through a new website, http://www.OnlineCareForProviders.com.

"Healthcare is in the midst of unprecedented transformation," said Roy Schoenberg, MD MPH, CEO of American Well Systems.  "With Online Care For Providers, American Well is the first to bring a complete telehealth solution into the hands of every healthcare professional. As intuitive and secure as online shopping or banking, it is accessible to providers and patients from anywhere and at any time, without the expensive equipment or painful operational hurdles of traditional telemedicine."

The launch of Online Care For Providers coincides with a growing body of research that documents the clinical and financial efficacy of telehealth for patient care.  Recent studies have noted its benefits in a wide range of areas, including preventive care, cancer, stroke, dermatology, and behavioral health, with applications stretching throughout the spectrum of clinical subspecialties and supporting allied disciplines.  Meanwhile, patient awareness and demand for telehealth services is also growing, with a recent study from Euro RSCG finding that 77 percent of consumers look to engage with their doctors, live, online.

Online Care For Providers equips physician practices with new capabilities, including:

    --  The ability to offer live, on-demand or scheduled Online Care encounters
        using two-way video, secure text chat, and/or phone - supporting rich,
        highly personal, and clinically meaningful interactions.  These
        encounters take place from wherever the provider, clinical staff, and
        patient find most convenient, at home or in the office.

    --  The automatic capture of a complete record of each Online Care
        encounter, which may be imported into leading EMR packages, supporting
        clinical documentation standards and continuity of care.

    --  Specific features that help physicians to increase revenue from patient
        interactions that are currently not reimbursed, such as phone calls or
        e-mails - or to offer entirely new services, such as specialty consults
        and concierge medicine.

"Online Care For Providers is a groundbreaking tool to support providers in growing and modernizing their practices," said Schoenberg.  "It also provides a strong foundation for those practices preparing for Accountable Care contracts.  On an individual level, providers can care for and follow up with at-risk patients in a more clinically effective and cost-effective manner, with simpler administration.  On an organizational level, ACO practices can use Online Care to connect with one another and instantly cross-utilize the breadth of their services - helping to contain patient care within an ACO's walls and bring its efficiencies to life."

About American Well

American Well(TM) brings healthcare into the homes of patients across the country. Its Online Care Suite is the industry's leading telehealth solution, connecting providers and patients for live, immediate, and clinically meaningful encounters using the Web or phone. With its patented technology, the Online Care Suite removes traditional barriers to healthcare access - such as geography, mobility, and time constraints - while enabling providers to deliver quality care in a flexible, convenient manner, generating revenue along the way.  American Well's customers are many of the nation's largest and most innovative health companies, including national and local health plans, delivery networks and retail pharmacies.

Industry Veterans Come Together to Launch IO Turbine, Secures Nearly $8 Million in Funding

Focused on enabling the use of Flash technology in virtualized servers to improve application performance and solve the I/O bottleneck

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IO Turbine, Inc., an early-stage company preparing to introduce a software solution to address I/O bottleneck issues by using Flash technology directly in VMware server environments, today announced that it has secured $7.75 million in funding led by Silicon Valley top-tier VC Lightspeed Venture Partners, as well as Merus Capital and notable angel investors.  As a software-only solution IO Turbine will allow users to transparently identify the highest priority data and utilize Flash to deliver IOPS directly to all designated virtual machines that require high performance.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110419/LA85277LOGO)

IO Turbine was founded by an exceptional executive team with decades of experience in the high tech industry at companies such as EMC, NetApp, Oracle, and Sun Microsystems. Silicon Valley veterans Rich Boberg and Vikram Joshi lead the team.

Boberg, who serves as IO Turbine's CEO, is an experienced executive in high tech startups and helped establish companies, including NetApp. Boberg was the sixth employee at NetApp, where he held executive positions in marketing, corporate development and engineering. Prior to starting IO Turbine, Boberg was advising startups on networked storage, as well as co-founding Innovation Quest, a non-profit organization at Cal Poly to foster the entrepreneurial success of its students.

Joshi is the company's CTO, with a background in operating systems, parallel and distributed systems, databases, storage, media and computer graphics.  He worked at Oracle on database performance and key technology that now forms the foundation of the Exadata product. At Sun, he worked on machine bring-ups, parallelized the Solaris virtual memory system to demonstrate linear scalability, and worked on the Spring microkernel (SunLabs). He also founded PixBlitz Studios to build virtual advertising technology for broadcasters and sports leagues and worked on Video on Demand at SGI.

"A new company must bring disruptive technology, a compelling value proposition and a world class team to the table to be considered a good candidate for investment.  IO Turbine has all three," said John Vrionis, Managing Director, Lightspeed Venture Partners. "We see IO Turbine as addressing a critical issue with an extremely innovative technology and we are pleased to be a part of what we know will be a successful business."

Other seasoned executives at IO Turbine include the company's Executive Vice President of Engineering Sunil Joshi, whose experience covers a broad range of technologies including computer system architecture, large-scale private clouds, system and application software for enterprise environments, VLSI design, high-availability systems and networking. Prior to joining IO Turbine, he was a Senior Vice President at Sun Microsystems and held technical management positions at Advanced Micro Devices.

Bruce Clarke is IO Turbine's Vice President of Technical Marketing and Support. A computer industry veteran with extensive entrepreneurial experience, Clarke's three-decade career also includes working with industry leaders such as EMC/Data Domain, where he was Director of Technical Marketing; NetApp and Sun Microsystems, among others.

Jay Phillips is Vice President of Sales, having most recently served as Regional Director at Dell, leading SaaS/Cloud efforts. Phillips came to Dell through EqualLogic, one of Dell's most successful acquisitions, where he was regional Vice President of Sales, and has further sales experience with NetApp, Boston Scientific and PepsiCo.

"We are looking forward to officially introducing our game-changing solution to solve the biggest problem in virtualized computing - I/O performance. Our goal is to empower organizations to virtualize more, faster," said Boberg. "We have assembled an unbeatable team of veterans from industry leaders like EMC, NetApp, Oracle, Sun Microsystems and VMware and I am proud to be part of this team and all the efforts made by them thus far."

Awarepoint Corporation Announces Acquisition of PCTS

Awarepoint's leading RTLS technology platform combined with PCTS's best-in-class enterprise workflow software, positions entity as market leader in rapidly growing $4 billion global market

SAN DIEGO, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Awarepoint Corporation, the leading provider of real-time location system (RTLS) solutions for hospitals, today announced it has acquired Patient Care Technology Systems (PCTS). The combined organization, which unites Awarepoint's unmatched ZigBee based technology platform with PCTS's best-in-class software platform and clinical applications, provides the industry's leading all-inclusive enterprise-wide RTLS solution. PCTS currently serves 60 hospitals, while Awarepoint is installed at 93 hospitals and manages 150,627 assets, by far the most assets under management by a single company.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100127/LA44915LOGO)

Corporate headquarters will remain in San Diego and PCTS will continue to operate its Charlotte, N.C. office. The PCTS executive team will remain intact and report to Jay Deady, Awarepoint's CEO. The majority of PCTS's staff will also be maintained and Awarepoint's board of directors will remain unchanged. Financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed.

"In response to market demand and the well documented successes of our shared clients, this is the ideal time to unite both companies' best-in-class offerings," explained Jay Deady, CEO of Awarepoint. "Our combined solutions, proven track record, large installed base eager for enterprise-wide upgrades, and interoperable and configurable technology platform will allow Awarepoint to capitalize on an enormous untapped RTLS market.  Industry analysts estimate RTLS market penetration in North America at only 10 to 12 percent and at just 5 percent internationally."

The "new" Awarepoint is ideally positioned to address many of the most pressing challenges hospitals are confronting during this period of transformational change in healthcare delivery. The company projects significantly accelerated domestic and international growth as existing hospital clients and prospects take advantage of Awarepoint's easy-to-use ability to track, analyze, and optimize resource allocation and improved workflow efficiencies. This real-time data translates into actionable intelligence that identifies how to improve patient care and safety as well as financial and clinical operational performance. For example:

    --  The average U.S. hospital owns or rents at least twice as many mobile
        medical devices (pumps, vents and wheelchairs, etc.) as they need.  Up
        to 25 percent of those mobile assets are not properly cleaned between
        patients, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. Awarepoint
        sends an alert to the proper person before dirty equipment comes into
        contact with a patient or clinician and then identifies the procedural
        breakdown to fix and prevent a recurrence.
    --  Nurses typically spend about one hour per shift looking for missing
        equipment, additional staff or the actual surgical patient! This
        contributes to delays in 30 percent of all scheduled surgeries. Being
        able to quickly identify any tagged equipment, staff or patients
        anywhere within a facility means on-time procedures and nurses can focus
        on patient care.
    --  The ability to improve workflows and efficiencies in the Emergency
        Department, Perioperative area, and other high acuity areas allows
        hospitals to significantly drive dramatic revenue and patient safety
        outcomes.

Deady continued, "Our clients have been expanding beyond just asset tracking to temperature monitoring and patient tracking, but they are ready for more.  They want an all inclusive, enterprise-wide RTLS workflow solution that delivers departmental and enterprise workflow outcomes. We are pleased to offer this next generation interoperable solution that enables the exchange of RTLS-generated data with HIEs, EHRs, clinical decision support systems and other HIS and RFID applications and technologies to enhance patient care, safety and outcomes."

"We are very excited about this announcement which will help us leverage our investments in both our software and technology. Both companies have proven to work well together," said Alan Gresch, Director, Corporate Clinical Engineering at Aurora Health Care. "When we were making a decision on vendors there was not a single vendor solution available. We chose PCTS for its leading software and Awarepoint for its superior technology platform. We are live on both and achieving great outcomes. We eliminated an annual spend on pump rentals, totaling $150,000 and have re-deployed close to $700,000 worth of capital because we can now find assets and increased utilization by 20%. I am so glad to know that going forward we will be working with one company to meet our future needs."

Deady concludes, "I would like to thank all the people who stepped up and helped to make this merger possible in an extremely tight timeframe. Special thanks to our investors Venrock, Cardinal Partners, and JAFCO Ventures, as well as banking partner, Silicon Valley Bank and legal counsel, Cooley LLP."

(Nasdaq: CSLR), helps health care providers to improve patient flow, increase capacity and improve patient and staff safety by visualizing the real time location and status of people and equipment throughout their facility.

Using open-source technology from Bump Technologies, SpeechTrans now offers an integrated "bump" feature that offers an ideal way for individuals who do not speak the same language to become Facebook friends and then communicate using SpeechTrans.  "Through the amazing bump feature and integrated Facebook chat, we are enabling a new way for people to be pen-pals for the 21st century," said Frei. "The bump feature can also replace business cards, and allows multi-language colleagues a new way to stay in touch and handle international business issues without a human translator."

SpeechTrans Ultimate for iPad offers 39 different language translation combinations for users, allowing multi-language communications for business and personal use. SpeechTrans Ultimate offers 90 percent accurate speech-to-speech translation in seven different languages including U.S. English, U.K. English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese. Text to speech is offered in recently added additional languages including Chinese Mandarin, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Dutch, and Korean. The app was also redesigned to better fill the iPad's larger screen and the user interface was tweaked for more intuitive usage.

Savings.com Debuts Personalized Online Shopping Experience

New Survey Reveals Relevance Drives Consumers to Act on Deals

LOS ANGELES, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Savings.com, the leading online source for deals and expert shopping advice, announced today the launch of a personalized online shopping experience. The new feature gives busy shoppers a one-stop destination for the best deals on exactly what they want. With a few simple clicks, shoppers create a profile and receive only the most useful and relevant deals from all major sources including online retailers, local businesses, daily deal sites and the social web.

According to a recent Savings.com Deal Survey, consumers are embracing deal sites in greater numbers, with seven out of 10 Americans (69%) indicating they receive anywhere from 1 to more than 20 deal emails on a daily basis. This influx of offers is extremely difficult for consumers to manage and almost half of those surveyed (47%) admit they end up deleting the daily emails. When asked what motivates them to take advantage of the deals, consumers rated relevance to personal interests, supporting local businesses and great discounts as the top three contributing factors.

"It's very clear that consumers are eager to find great deals, yet it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to manage and sort through the sheer volume of deals flooding their email inboxes on a daily basis," said Savings.com CEO Loren Bendele. "A personalized homepage helps solve this issue by customizing deals based on consumers' specific preferences and then providing them with the best and most relevant deals all in one place."   

To personalize deals on Savings.com, members select favorite retail categories (e.g. health & beauty, electronics, travel, fashion, kids and restaurants), brands and stores, and provide their locations. After building their profile, shoppers can access their customized deals each time they log-in to Savings.com and also have the option of receiving an e-newsletter of their deal preferences delivered straight to their inbox. 

"Consumers want simple, smart ways to save on the purchases they are most interested in," added Bendele. "They appreciate receiving the right deal from the right merchant."

Savings.com is one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the US and has strong relationships with more than 5,000 leading household brand names and access to more than 200,000 deals. The Company has experienced over 2,000 percent growth since 2007 and has helped consumers save hundreds of millions of dollars.

About Savings.com Deal Survey

The Savings.com Deal Survey was conducted via telephone during March 31 - April 3, 2011 by the Opinion Research Corporation among a nationally representative sample of 1,008 Americans ages 18 years and older. The margin of error for the base sample is +/- 3.1% at the 95 percent confidence level.

About Savings.com

Savings.com helps consumers save money every day. The premier online savings Web site and community has the best deals for everything shoppers want, making it easier than ever to search, find and share big savings from top brands and stores. The company's dedicated team of DealPros® scours the Web to find top offers in every category from designer clothes and baby gear to big-screen TVs and gourmet food. The site's community of members and savers rates each deal to make sure users find the best stuff first eliminating the need to spend time sifting through expired coupons and coupon codes that don't work. Savings.com is a safe haven of high-quality, reliable deals. Savings.com's sister site, Savoo.co.uk, offers top coupons and deals to UK-based shoppers.

Forum Systems Delivers Industry's First Unified Content Firewall

Forum Sentry WAF Accommodates PCI Compliance, Combats 'Box Fatigue' While Delivering Unmatched Federated Identity, Security, Scalability and Performance

LONDON and BOSTON, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- INFOSECURITY EUROPE 2011, BOOTH # F79 -- Forum Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Crosscheck Networks, Inc., today announced the next generation of its flagship XML Gateway fueling faster, more powerful and seamless Web experiences for users.

Forum Sentry WAF unites -- natively, for the first time in one appliance -- the threat protection, scalability and Federated Identity capabilities of an XML Gateway with the security of a Web Application Firewall (WAF). By removing the identity and security burden from Web sites and composite applications, this unified Content Firewall securely authenticates and authorizes users invoking services, regardless of where the services reside. Unlike legacy WAFs, Forum Sentry WAF enforces decisions across complex identity tokens and repositories and throughout the entire transaction, rapidly delivering rich online content to users without requiring multiple sign-ins.

Global enterprises continue to develop intelligent, sophisticated Web applications in response to end-users' demands for real-time information. Content-rich, widget-driven portals presenting comprehensive user information shared between and across multiple business lines has given rise to both HTML and XML data patterns. This dynamic is causing significant challenges for organizations as current WAFs are inherently unable to support, secure and scale this ever-increasing rise in hybrid traffic.

"With the convergence of browser- and application-based technologies accessing back-end systems that house corporate and user data, the requirement for protecting that sensitive information across and between corporate boundaries is paramount," said Mamoon Yunus, CEO of Crosscheck Networks. "Though current WAF offerings are a core component of IT infrastructures -- as PCI DSS requirements mandate the use of a WAF to protect cardholder data -- they cannot secure and scale both HTML and XML traffic and meet the deep content inspection demands of today's enterprises."

Yunus continued: "Compounding matters, the 'light' identity management capabilities available in the existing generation of WAFs make them woefully ill-equipped to handle Federated Identity decisions. In response to increasing customer demand fueled by such shortcomings, we are unveiling Forum Sentry WAF to power more secure, rapid and enhanced user-portal experiences."

Forum Systems Fuels Faster Online and Mobile Banking

Based in Columbus, Georgia, Synovus is a financial services company with more than $30 billion in assets under management. Its multiple divisions provide commercial and retail banking, investment and mortgage services to customers in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee.

Synovus is dedicated to delivering best-in-class service to its online and mobile banking customers. As part of that commitment, the firm ensures that when users sign in to access their accounts, network performance never impacts their ability to conduct transactions -- particularly during peak business hours. To accomplish that mission, Synovus consolidated its entire banking system on Forum Systems. Now with Forum Sentry WAF centralizing XML and HTML policies and performing the requisite identity management, Synovus has reduced sign-in time by more than 20 times what it was previously -- to just over 1 second -- significantly enhancing its users' experiences.

Key Forum Sentry WAF Benefits:

    --  Seamless, Detailed Authentication and Authorization - Complex SAML-based
        token types can be consumed and produced rapidly and securely with
        leading identity management offerings for enhanced Federated Identity
        decisions.
    --  Security, Control and Visibility -
        --  RegEx and other common filter policies, like those to protect
            against SQL injections, are authored, shared and maintained across
            the entire infrastructure to close vulnerability gaps and eliminate
            the need for policy duplication across separate products.
        --  PKI management, SSL termination and initiation of HTML and XML
            traffic are centrally managed and maintained.
    --  Centralized Management and Monitoring - A repository for all message
        types fuels better capacity planning decisions.
    --  "Single Pane of Glass" View - Consolidation of logs and traffic in one
        UI serves as the foundation for more efficient and effective root-cause
        analysis, auditing and compliance reporting.
    --  Reduction in "Box Fatigue" - IT has less equipment to maintain and
        manage within the infrastructure.

Forum Systems at Infosecurity Europe 2011

Forum Systems will be showcasing Forum Sentry WAF in Booth # F79 in the U.S. Pavilion at Infosecurity Europe 2011 taking place April 19-21, Earls Court, London UK. Forum Sentry WAF is available immediately.

For QMetry, Jaspersoft Business Intelligence was the obvious choice because of its flexible architecture and cost effective license subscriptions.

"After evaluating several analytics and BI solutions in the market, we selected Jaspersoft because of its proven flexible architecture," said Manish Mathuria, CTO of QMetry. "Jaspersoft gives us the ability to start small and grow our BI engine into a state-of-the-art, open source enterprise application as our business requirements grow. By using JasperReports Server Professional, our customers can now deploy and experience advanced and customized reporting.

World's First Marriage Preparation App Released

NEW YORK, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's first marriage preparation app was just released, offering in-depth discussions, counseling and analysis to help couples navigate the premarital waters to better prepare them for the big step of marriage.

The Couplet Premarital App, developed by a licensed psychologist, is available in Apple's App Store, compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Couplet is a fun and engaging way for couples to focus on strengthening their relationship while still engaged, helping them to prepare emotionally for being married, said the app creator L. Sullivan, Ph.D.

"It is designed to help engaged couples discuss and work through issues that cause nearly 50 percent of U.S. couples to end their marriages," Dr. Sullivan said. "The Couplet app demonstrates that being engaged is not simply an exercise in event planning -- it is about preparing for marriage."

The app asks fun and insightful questions that help couples discuss important marital topics like communication, family, intimacy and money.

Five weekly therapeutic exercises are designed to strengthen relationships, covering topics including conflict resolution and relationship enhancement.

For example, in the conflict resolution exercise, the app asks couples to identify topics that result in conflict. It directs couples to discuss the topic in a non-threatening manner when both are calm, without assigning blame or becoming attacking or defensive.

The app also addresses couples that are "opposites," allowing the couples to identify their differences and learn how to work together for a harmonious relationship.

The Couplet app analyzes common conflicts in wedding planning, including meddling mothers-in-law and ways the couple can work together to avoid stress over wedding details.

This is the first app in a series designed to make psychology accessible and appealing to everyone, said Dr. Sullivan.

About Dr. L. Sullivan

Dr. L. Sullivan is a licensed clinical psychologist with a doctorate in clinical psychology from DePaul University. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University and is a university lecturer in psychology. Dr. Sullivan has extensive experience in working with engaged couples.

brite-View's HDelight Beams 1080p Videos and Games to TV, Setting Them Free from iPad 2's Display Limitations

Thanks to the HDelight, iPad 2's full potential, including the 1080p video mirroring output, is now being unlocked and wirelessly sent to the HDTV

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- brite-View'sHDelight (BV-1222) is built with the renowned WHDI technology, which enables wireless delivery of uncompressed 1080p videos with no latency. When paired with the iPad 2 and its dedicated digital AV adapter, the HDelight wirelessly sends mirroring video and audio from the iPad 2 to TV, including all iPad 2 apps. 

Some videos are meant to dance on the big screen, even though they were found while surfing YouTube with an iPad. Otherwise, how else would one enjoy the full effect of BBC's footage of super slow-motion monster barrel waves in the South Pacific, shot from underwater with the $100,000 TyphoonHD4? Some games are meant to be played on the HDTV, too, such as "Real Racing 2," which just received the 1080p full screen output upgrade. Using the digital AV adapter, users can connect the iPad 2 to the HDTV with an HDMI cable, but they still can't go further than the HDMI cable's length.

"Having the HDelight means users are not tethered to the area around the HDTV set while enjoying the many benefits of the new iPad 2," says Robert Lo, CEO of Xpike Innovation, Inc. "Instead, one can imagine the iPad 2 as an over-sized touch-screen remote for the HDTV, and it couldn't be more intuitive - now that the iPad 2 gets wireless 1080p mirroring, whatever you see on the iPad 2 will be whatever you see on the TV, with no latency."

The HDelight is available now for $139.99 on brite-view.com.

SIM Partners Announces Enhanced Local Search Platform to Manage Social Media Campaigns

New Features Can Give Multi-Location Businesses Competitive Edge in Online Visibility

CHICAGO, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SIM Partners, a Chicago-based, full-service interactive marketing agency announced today the enhancement of its Local Search Platform (LSP). These improvements are designed to help large companies integrate social media strategies with local search campaigns and generate consumer reviews to boost search engine rankings.

LSP by SIM Partners is a total local search marketing solution that manages and promotes location-based web content for national brands and businesses with multiple brick-and-mortar locations. SIM Partners' cost-efficient, results-driven tools enable retail and service companies to get their locations ranked at the top of search engine results in geo-specific queries.

"Brand marketers are always looking for an edge," said Jon Schepke, President, SIM Partners. "Savvy marketers are recognizing that two of the most important ways to gain a competitive advantage in online visibility are to combine social media activities with search marketing programs and to leverage web reviews and ratings."

LSP's newly expanded capabilities include turnkey solutions that enable marketers to:

    --  Create branded "Share for Rewards" programs giving consumers promotional
        incentives to share information online. "Share for Rewards" is a viral
        program that tracks when consumers share information about a brand via
        email, Facebook, IM and other web channels. The program then disburses
        performance-based rewards, such as merchandise discounts, and measures
        campaign results.
    --  Increase consumer reviews and ratings and distribute the content to
        leading review sites.  The solution includes the creation of
        custom-branded URLs giving consumers the ability to easily write reviews
        on sites including Google, Yelp, Citysearch and Yahoo! as well as
        industry-specific review sites such as Angie's List (home services),
        TripAdvisor (travel), urbanspoon.com (restaurants) and ratemds.com
        (health providers).
    --  Quickly add live chat functionality and feeds of social media mentions
        to Google Places and other location profile pages.

"Several of our LSP clients using these new features have experienced significant improvements in their search engine rankings, as well as in the volume of phone calls, sales and appointments they're generating," Schepke said.

One example is Stanley Steemer, a leading provider of residential and commercial cleaning services across the U.S.  "With the help of SIM Partners, our locations are generating as much as 30 times more online reviews.  As a result, they've begun appearing at the top of local search results for very competitive keywords," said Gavin Meyers, Internet Marketing Manager at Stanley Steemer.

"Our proprietary LSP technology is a key element in SIM Partners' ability to drive outstanding results for clients," Schepke said.  "And these new enhancements to the platform demonstrate our commitment to innovation and to helping our clients' online marketing efforts stand out."

The Email Security Solution IT Administrators Have Been Waiting For - directQuarantine(TM) from Vircom

directQuarantine provides live quarantine view directly from Outlook

MONTREAL, April 19 /PRNewswire/ - Vircom, an award-winning email
messaging security software company, has released directQuarantine, an
Outlook add-on module for its modusGate(TM) email security software that
provides end-user control of quarantine emails directly from Outlook.

"Up until now, there have been very few distinguishing features between
the various email security solutions available on the market," stated
Damien Rame, Marketing Manager at Vircom. "directQuarantine changes all
of that. For the first time ever, end-users will have direct access to
their email quarantine in real-time directly from Outlook, providing a
seamless user experience while relieving IT administrators from tedious
day-to-day quarantine management," Rame added.

directQuarantine provides a Spam folder in Outlook that allows end-users
to search for quarantined emails in real-time using the Outlook search
toolbar or the blazingly fast native Windows search - no more waiting
for nightly quarantine reports, logging in to a Web portal, or
depending upon IT to check for and release blocked emails. The
directQuarantine folder contains all emails caught and filtered by
modusGate and any false positives can be quickly and easily released
directly from the Outlook toolbar. Any attachments, viruses, phishing
links and all other electronic threats remain safely on the modusGate
server and are not downloaded to Outlook, ensuring the highest level of
security.

"Although the advantages to end-users are undeniable, we had the IT
administrator in mind when we designed directQuarantine," said Mike
Petsalis, Vircom's CEO. "Installation and deployment are very
straightforward. The directQuarantine service and modusGate are
installed on the same server and can be readily integrated within their
company's existing infrastructure. As an add-on to Outlook,
directQuarantine Clients are quickly and easily deployed through Active
Directory Group Policy. But the real advantage, is the time IT
administrators will save by putting the task of email quarantine
management into the hands of end-users," Petsalis added.

Vircom's directQuarantine software is compatible with modusGate 4.7 or
5.0, runs on Windows platforms (2003/2008/2008R2 for the server and
XP/Vista/7 for the client) and is available to order today. For pricing

Insparisk Pioneers E-Shopping for Inspection Services

NEW YORK, April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Insparisk, LLC today announced the launch of a new web interface that allows for the purchase of inspection services online.

The first of its kind in the inspection industry, users can purchase items such as boiler or elevator inspections instantly.  The new online shopping system will initially be launched for Insparisk but will quickly be expanded to its subsidiaries' sites.

"We are pleased to be the first to offer this new and innovative approach to selling inspection services," stated Stephen Kleva, President of Insparisk. He continued, "This practice furthers our company goal of transparency by taking the mystery out of the cost and purchase of inspections."

Kleva also added, "For much of our industry, prices are concealed and only disclosed once a potential customer reveals themselves and their needs.  Unfortunately, in many cases, this practice leads to selective pricing based upon how much the contractor feels they can get out of them.  With our new interface, customers can be assured of what they are getting and how much it will cost."

Insparisk has already made its mark in the inspection industry by utilizing a completely paperless process for their administrative and field operations, as well as offering clients online account tracking. 

Insparisk is a national safety inspection company that provides inspections and risk assessment as well as software solutions to manage safety inspections of boilers, pressure vessels, elevators/lifts, building facades, HVAC equipment, and fire detection/suppression systems. Stephen Kleva is President. For more information on Insparisk, visit http://www.insparisk.com.

SOPO Backs Streamlined Procurement Service

GLASGOW, Scotland, April 19, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     At a time when transparency and efficiency in public spending is
critical, one of the UK's leading procurement organisations has welcomed the
launch of a new service aimed at making it easier for public sector buyers to
manage and engage with their local supplier base.

    The Society of Procurement Officers in Local Government (SOPO), which has
more than 3300 members across the UK, is endorsing the Select Supplier
Information Database, developed by supply chain management experts BiP
Solutions. The service will cut the time and costs associated with tendering
processes for both buyers and suppliers: welcome news at a time when both are
under pressure. Public sector procurement has been criticised by suppliers
for being overly bureaucratic and inefficient - Select aims to help address
this concern.

    Select is a national pre-qualification service for the public sector. It
is free to public sector buyers and provides them with a diverse database of
suppliers from across the UK, allowing them to benefit from a single
streamlined procurement service that is both transparent and fully compliant.

    The database contains suppliers that have either self-certified or
upgraded to Select Accredit status. Those who opt for Select Accredit status
are fully assessed and accredited to the same exacting standards as those set
by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). This provides
buyers with the assurance that their suppliers meet a respected government
accreditation standard, saving time and effort on repeated supplier
verification. Suppliers benefit by having to complete a Pre-Qualification
Questionnaire (PQQ) only once, which is designed to mirror the standard
response format of the Office of Government Commerce PQQ.

    Peter Howarth, CEO of SOPO, said: "I'm delighted to support the Select
Supplier Information Database and would encourage all public sector buyers to
sign up to the service. It offers a free system for buyers to manage their
local supply base more efficiently and will greatly reduce their buying risk
as they will have access to a large database of good quality suppliers. Using
this service as part of the tendering process will ensure transparency, which
is a high priority for all areas of the public sector. With the pressure that
buyers and suppliers are under currently, any service that reduces
bureaucracy and simplifies procurement is to be commended."

    Select forms part of BiP's Delta eSourcing suite of collaborative
web-based tools which enable public sector buyers to achieve efficiency
savings and procure electronically. Buyers and suppliers can access the
Select Supplier Information Database at http://www.delta-esourcing.com
