Novell First to Enable Development of .NET Applications for Android Using Microsoft Visual Studio

WALTHAM, Mass., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Novell today announced the availability of Mono® for Android, the first solution for developing Microsoft* .NET applications for the Android* platform using Microsoft Visual Studio*. With the addition of Mono for Android to its existing Mono development tools, Novell is enabling Microsoft .NET and C# developers using Visual Studio and other environments to utilize a common code base to easily create applications for the industry's most widely-used mobile devices, including Android-based smartphones and tablets, Apple iPad*, Apple iPhone* and Apple iPod* Touch.

According to statistics released by research firm Nielson, Android has a 29 percent consumer market share, making it the most popular smartphone platform. With Mono for Android, .NET developers and independent software vendors (ISVs) can utilize Visual Studio and their existing skills to build a vast array of Android-based applications and sell their products into this massive market.

"Since the introduction of MonoTouch in 2009, developers have experienced how Mono streamlines mobile application development," said Miguel de Icaza, Mono project founder and vice president of Developer Platforms at Novell. "As a result, many asked us to build a similar tool for Android. We developed Mono for Android to give both individual developers and businesses a way of sharing their code across multiple mobile platforms, increasing efficiency and reuse of their C# and .NET expertise across the board."

Mono for Android consists of the core Mono runtime, bindings for native Android APIs, a Visual Studio 2010 plugin to develop Android applications, and a software development kit that contains all the tools needed to build, debug and deploy applications. Developers trained in Microsoft Visual Studio can stay within their preferred IDE, while using their existing skills and .NET code, libraries and tools, as well as C# programming knowledge, to create mobile applications for Android-based devices. With the Visual Studio 2010 plugin, engineers can develop, debug and deploy their applications to an Android simulator, an Android device or the Android Application Store.

Mono for Android complements MonoTouch, Novell's popular solution for developing applications for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Developers utilizing Mono for Android and MonoTouch can save time and money by sharing common code between iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android phones and tablets, as well as Windows Phone 7, Windows desktops and Windows Server. A Mono for Android add-in also allows MonoDevelop users to develop on OS X.

"As a mobile software developer and middleware vendor, Resco customers are enabled to use our products to develop MonoTouch, and now Mono for Android applications for Android and Apple devices," said Michal Sartoris, senior developer at Resco. "With more than 3,000 customers, our business success depends on us delivering feature-rich, highly-quality applications to the market before our competitors. Novell is providing us with innovative, cross-platform development tools that enable us to reduce the cost and resources required to create mobile applications."

Pricing and availability

All editions of Mono for Android are available now through http://shop.novell.com.  Mono for Android Enterprise Edition is available for US $999 per developer for a one-year subscription, which includes maintenance and updates. A five-developer Enterprise license supports five concurrent developers and is available for US $3,999 per year. Mono for Android Professional Edition is available for US $399 per developer for a one-year subscription. For a limited time, existing MonoTouch customers can receive a 50 percent discount off a similar Mono for Android Edition by using their activation code as a discount code.

ForSaleByOwner.com Announces Buyer's Agent Network and Rebate Program in Florida Real Estate Market

FLORIDA HOMEBUYERS CAN CAPTURE 25% OF THE BUYER'S AGENT COMMISSION IN UNIQUE REBATE PROGRAM

CHICAGO, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Get paid to buy a house? Where do I sign? If you're in Florida, you can sign with ForSaleByOwner.com's new Buyer Rebate Program.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110308/MM61814LOGO )

Designed to help homebuyers get more from a notoriously expensive process, the ForSaleByOwner.com Buyer Rebate Program returns home buyers 25% of the commission earned by the agent who represented them in the sale.

With buyers circling the real estate market in search of the best deal, agents affiliated with the program have already gained a competitive edge by partnering with ForSaleByOwner.com. Orlando-based AmeriTeam Realty is the sole broker partner for the program.

"A typical rebate for a Florida home sale amounts to $500 to $1,500. The ForSaleByOwner.com Buyer Rebate Program offers buyers some welcome relief - just in time to offset rising closing costs and fees," says Eddie Tyner, general manager of ForSaleByOwner.com. 

Today's precarious real estate market can be tricky to navigate, which is why buyers will find the Buyer Rebate program appealing, predicts Alan Randel, broker/owner of AmeriTeam Realty. "Customers who take advantage of ForSaleByOwner.com's Buyer Rebate program get the services of a professional Realtor while still capturing savings inherent in today's competitive marketplace," said Randel. "We believe the Buyer Rebate Program is the perfect solution."

Any house listed with ForSaleByOwner.com, Realtor.com and regional multiple listing services is included in the program.

In compliance with Federal regulations, the rebate is applied at closing. More details on the program are available at http://www.forsalebyowner.com/buyerrebates.   

About ForSaleByOwner.com

ForSaleByOwner.com is the nation's largest and most robust "by owner" real estate website. In 2010 alone, ForSaleByOwner.com facilitated sales of $1.8 billion worth of residential real estate, enabling homeowners to keep at least $72 million* in home equity for themselves. 

Since 1999, ForSaleByOwner.com has saved home sellers more than one billion dollars by coaching and equipping them with information, tools and services that enable them to buy and sell houses directly.

By selling directly, homeowners can recoup more of their home equity by controlling transaction fees. The company charges $89 to $689 for its wide range of advertising, listing services and related information and tools. A homeowner selling a $300,000 home through a full service real estate agent would lose $18,000 in equity, based on the traditional 6% commission.

ForSaleByOwner.com was acquired in 2006 by Tribune Digital, a division of Tribune Companies, and is based in Chicago.

*Based on some home sellers paying a 2% commission to the agent representing the buyers of their homes. The traditional real estate commission is 6%.

About AmeriTeam Realty

Launched in February 2007, AmeriTeam is one of the fastest-growing brokerages in Florida and now has hundreds of Realtors serving customers in central Florida. AmeriTeam is based in Orlando with an office in Boca Raton. Broker/owner Alan Randel entered real estate after owning and operating national tour companies.

SignNow Launches Free, Legally-Binding E-signature Service for Consumers

New Company Allows Anyone to Easily and Securely Sign Electronic Documents, Eliminates Wasteful Printouts and Scanning

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SignNow(TM), Inc. - a pioneer in the consumer e-signature market - today announced it has launched its free service for easily e-signing virtually any electronic document on PCs and mobile devices. SignNow expects strong interest from small business owners, professionals or anyone seeking a free, simple and legally-binding way to add their signature to an electronic document.

Given the universal use of electronically-generated documents, it seems quaintly old-fashioned to print a document only to physically sign it, then fax or scan the document back into electronic format just for a signature. In the United States, both federal and state laws stipulate that e-signatures for virtually all documents are legal and binding (with the exception of a few obscure documents, such as those related to nuclear facilities and Air Traffic Control).

Users simply visit http://www.signnow.com, select the document they want e-signed from their computer and use their mouse or smartphone touchscreen to sign the document with a digitized signature. As an alternative to signing with a mouse or finger, users can also select a handwriting font and type in their signature, which is just as binding. Users can sign their own documents or easily obtain a signature from a client or friend by entering the new signer's email to invite them to sign.

Once all signers are finished, the e-signed document is then emailed to the user-chosen recipients and deleted from SignNow's system within 30 minutes of signature completion. As an aid to user privacy, it is not even necessary to sign up for an account to use http://www.signnow.com - SignNow is jumpstarting the market by offering all this for free and with an exceptionally clear privacy agreement.

To verify each signature, SignNow uses military-grade encrypted "certificates" that are attached to each unique usage of SignNow. These certificates are electronically issued by the most trusted name in PC security, Symantec(TM), and are authorized by VeriSign®, the leader in electronic security for electronic transactions. 

Each certificate is original and also incorporates the unique IP address of the signer - these certificates are then signed and encrypted using 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), the same standard used by the US military and considered unbreakable using conventional technology. Through this technique, each and every SignNow signing has an electronic "fingerprint" that is as legally binding as a physical signature, but with far greater security and authentication than a remotely-signed, un-witnessed signature.

"We are very excited to be launching this new service that brings fast, free and easy e-signing to everyone," said Chris Hawkins, CEO of SignNow, Inc. "For too long, e-signatures have been the domain of large corporations, governments and technology power users - using SignNow, anyone can electronically sign documents without paying or signing up. Legality is backed up by both State and Federal law and we are confident this will be a real turning point to bring e-signing to everyday life."

About SignNow

SignNow, Inc. is an Angel-funded startup seeking to bring the millennia-old practice of using hardcopy signatures into the digital age through user-friendly, consumer-oriented Web applications. Designed to meet or exceed the security provided by long-standing handwritten practices, SignNow offers a simple, effective way to e-sign digital files without the need to scan, fax or mail documents.

Vanco Services, LLC Launches New Website for Utility Companies

MINNETONKA, Minn., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanco Services, LLC, a leading provider of electronic payment solutions, announces the launch of its new website specifically for utility companies.

Customers want a variety of payment options when managing electric, gas, water and sanitary services expenses -- and utility companies must be able to process those payments in a secure and efficient manner. ePaymentsByVanco.com -- a new website from Vanco Services -- is dedicated to helping utility companies of all sizes introduce new payment options and also manage the growing number of online banking payments that, ironically, are often converted into paper checks and require extensive manual processing.

As a Payment Card Industry (PCI) Level 1 Compliant Service Provider, Vanco understands the need for utility companies to mitigate back office risk. That's why the company's web-based solutions, offered under the e.service® brand, include features that support financial best practices.

Vanco enables utility companies to:

    --  Receive online banking payments electronically
    --  Accept payments online
    --  Automate recurring payments
    --  Take payments over the phone
    --  Accept payments via text message
    --  Process in-person payments

"We examined the way utility companies were handling payments for electric, gas, water and sanitary services," said Jeanne Spencer Rose, CEO of Vanco Services. "What we found was a lot of inefficient, error-prone, manual processing so we made it our goal to develop a set of cost-effective electronic payment solutions suitable for any utility company."

Vanco Services, LLC, is a financial technology company that processes electronic payments for more than 17,000 clients. Under the e.service® brand, Vanco offers several proprietary web-based electronic payment solutions. Vanco is a PCI (Payment Card Industry) Level 1 Compliant Service Provider.

New Service Showcases the New Status Symbol - Living Debt-Free

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new website - http://www.statusdebtfree.com - was recently launched to showcase people who have successfully achieved debt-free status.

"Becoming debt-free is a big financial accomplishment, and there should be some form of recognition," says Matt Miller, founder of StatusDebtFree.com. "I like to use the analogy of going to school and graduating. Once you graduate, you get a diploma to display. StatusDebtFree provides both online recognition as well as a certificate of accomplishment that can proudly be displayed to show the world your financial accomplishment."

Debt-free members are assigned a unique membership identification number and listed online in the membership directory on StatusDebtFree.com in one of three categories:

    --  Gold - completely debt-free
    --  Silver - debt-free except for their mortgage
    --  Bronze - kicked the credit card debt

Members can customize their debt-free profiles and link back to their MySpace or Facebook pages from the membership directory.

Miller says StatusDebtFree is a way to share a different kind of status symbol with other people.

"Some people like to buy expensive cars, live in big houses and dress in designer labels," he says. "Other people like to live modestly and debt-free. People are fascinated with other people's lifestyles, and by sharing with the world that you are debt-free, you become unique with your individual accomplishment."

Just like parents tout their children making the honor roll, StatusDebtFree members are able to express their debt-free status with a certificate of accomplishment and an online listing in the member section on the StatusDebtFree website. For even more bragging rights, additional logo products are available to suit each member's taste, such as crystal awards, license plate frames and apparel.

For more information on becoming a StatusDebtFree member, visit http://www.statusdebtfree.com or contact Matt Miller at admin@statusdebtfree.com or 541.782.8873.

New Content Creator from iSIGN Gives Companies Tools to Create Coupons, Mobile Messaging and Ads

Gives Advertisers More Tools, More Control to Create Effective Campaigns

TORONTO, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- iSIGN Media, the North American leader in Bluetooth(TM) enabled proximity marketing solutions, has released a new content creation tool as part of its interactive marketing solution (IMS) called the IMS Content Creator, which enables advertisers to build their own messaging and advertising campaigns.  The IMS Content Creator is a part of the IMS 3.1 platform, which was released by iSIGN in March 2011.

With the content creator tool, users can create their own coupons, campaigns and messaging on the fly at no additional cost. The IMS Content Creator streamlines the instant usability and customizability of iSIGN's IMS platform, which gives advertisers more control over how their message reaches their intended audience.

Optimizing the Proximity Marketing Experience for Brands, Marketers and Advertisers

The IMS Content Creator, along with the entire IMS 3.1 platform, represents the latest initiative from iSIGN to refine and optimize the proximity marketing experience for brands, marketers and advertisers.  Leveraging the mobile channel, Bluetooth connectivity, and digital signage to create robust proximity marketing interactions, the IMS Content Creator is immediate interaction with consumers that can be measured in real-time, which in turn translates into increased sales and brand engagement.

Creating Effective Advertising Content in Minutes

Simple to use and very effective for customization, the IMS Content Creator takes cues from the proliferation of app creators and other design programs that have allowed companies to control the visual and contextual aspects of their marketing communications through other channels, iSIGN's content creator tool puts advertisers and brands in full control over the messaging delivered to their targeted audiences.

Because the IMS Content Creator is being offered both as a value-add for iSIGN license clients that upgrade to IMS 3.1 as well as to individual advertisers for a low fee, the tool also serves as an introduction to the entire iSIGN IMS 3.1 platform.

Improved Analytics, Business Intelligence Create Better Outcomes

IMS 3.1 offers users improved discovery and reporting functions and provides clients with loyalty program support.  It automatically identifies many of today's makes and models without any interaction with mobile devices and phones themselves, and logs the number of device discoveries and device dwell times (time spent at a location).

For more information about IMS 3.1, the Content Creator, please contact iSIGN's Director of Media Relations, Vanessa Horwell at vanessa@thinkinkpr.com or 305.749.5342 ext. 232, or visit http://www.isignmedia.com.

Trimble Introduces Cloud-based Field Service Work Management Solution to Manage Fleet Productivity

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) introduced today a new cloud-based field service solution to manage fleet productivity--Trimble® GeoManager(TM) WorkManagement, a software solution that provides on-demand visibility into vehicle and mobile worker utilization. For routing, scheduling and dispatch, Trimble WorkManagement makes it easy for organizations to maximize the mobile worker's schedule, provide better customer service, increase productivity and reduce overall operating costs.

"Our recent research shows that nearly 50 percent of best-in-class field service organizations look to establish better visibility into their field resources as a way to drive more effective scheduling and boost overall service productivity," said Sumair Dutta, senior research analyst for Aberdeen Group. "Since ease of integration is a priority for organizations evaluating field service solutions, the approach of offering scheduling optimization/dispatch and vehicle tracking in a well-integrated package--such as Trimble WorkManagement--aligns with market preferences."

An Ideal Solution to Enable Superior Service

The power of Trimble WorkManagement can help service-based organizations plan, track, measure, communicate and execute mobile work. Using intelligent tools, dispatchers can manage a team of mobile workers and monitor their progress against the actual plan for the day in order to effectively resolve daily complications, such as sick drivers, changes to appointment times, emergency trips or route overruns.

"Leveraging a cloud-based environment allows organizations of all sizes to easily deploy scheduling and dispatch solutions without the upfront deployment costs of an IT infrastructure," said Bryn Fosburgh, vice president of Trimble Mobile Solutions. "In addition, Trimble WorkManagement is unique because it visually depicts the real-time impact of changing schedules. When facts are presented, our customers can make informed decisions and better manage incremental jobs to streamline their operations."

The Trimble WorkManagement solution includes:

Work Advisor and In-day Planner: enables rapid response for communicating at-risk tasks as well as delivering the tools to re-optimize routes and workload. The component helps increase mobile worker productivity by providing visibility to arrival time, distance travelled, stops made and overtime; reduce travel time and lower fuel costs through route optimization; improve efficiency by comparing planned vs. actual work done per day; and improve quality of service by adjusting schedules and reassigning work.

WorkManagement Mobile: allows improved communication between drivers and dispatchers by providing electronic dispatch capabilities. Organizations can use a variety of browser-based smart phones, tablets and ruggedized PDAs to deliver information to the mobile workforce to help ensure work progresses as planned and appointments are not missed. The Mobile feature also allows mobile workers to use the maps on the smart phone to access driving directions to appointments, which can help cut driving time and reduce late or missed appointments.

Performance Manager: provides real-time analysis of the mobile work status to help keep customer commitments on track.

Fleet Management:assists in managing overall mobile worker productivity using the Trimble GeoManager platform.

Web Services: allow for integration with third-party systems, such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM, to exchange task and service activity information with Trimble's WorkManagement solution. The optional Web Services component provides an interoperable link between different software applications running on a variety of platforms.

Trimble WorkManagement has an early access program in which the solution is available to existing Trimble fleet management customers. WorkManagement and the optional Web Services component are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2011.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM),the leading provider of cloud optimization services, today announced that the Akamai HD Network is the first global video delivery network to have its HTTP dynamic streaming implementation certified by Adobe®. The certification validates that the Akamai HD Network delivery of live and on-demand streaming based on Adobe Flash® technology, via the Adobe F4F format, is fully compatible with Adobe Flash run times that currently support HTTP dynamic streaming. Accordingly, content owners are expected to soon be able to take advantage of new HTTP dynamic streaming features, supported across the Akamai HD Network, which will be designed to improve video quality.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100225/AKAMAILOGO )

Support for the new HTTP dynamic streaming capabilities are being made available in the Akamai HD for the Adobe Flash Platform product. The Akamai HD for the Adobe Flash Platform product has been delivering high-quality, broadcast scale Flash video for almost two years now using HTTP based adaptive streaming. By integrating HTTP dynamic streaming capabilities into this product, it is expected that customers will be able to leverage the new capabilities without making any changes to their existing Flash workflow. 

"We are delighted to be the first certified HTTP dynamic streaming network," said Rich Kennelly, Vice President of Media at Akamai Technologies. "We strive to integrate the best technologies available for a high quality experience - while keeping it simple for our customers. This is a great example of both. In short, our goal is that you give us your video files for Flash, and we'll ensure they play back at the highest quality possible."

One of the truly unique attributes of Akamai's offering is its "in the network" packaging. The Akamai HD Network automatically packages existing video based on Flash to the appropriate container, with the goal of thereby providing customers with faster time to market with new technology and reduced workflow complexity. In addition, the Akamai HD Network is designed to secure the content through a variety of features.

AEG Digital Media works closely with Akamai on delivering many of the digital media industry's largest live and on-demand online video events for major brands, broadcasters, sports leagues and media properties.

"AEG Digital Media and Akamai have collaborated to deliver some of the most engaging and successful live and on-demand events," said John Petrocelli, Vice President for Business Development and Sales for AEG Digital Media. "The ability to add video based on Flash to these events - for access on PCs and mobile devices - increases the value exponentially for our customers and their viewers."

CSG Systems' Content Direct solution provides video content companies with the tools to better manage customers and monetize digital video content predictably and reliably.  The solution supports virtually all content types and commerce models, digital locker capabilities, marketing promotions, advertising management, partner management, financial management, reporting, analytics, customer care and syndication.

"As the leader in premium content monetization solutions, CSG's Content Direct partners with the leading and most innovative software technology companies in the industry today - Akamai is one of those partners," said Kent Steffen, President of CSG's Content Direct. "By leveraging the Akamai HD Network, our customers can now offer a Flash Adaptive streaming option, and easily and more effectively deliver more content to more devices. Ultimately, we believe this will reduce their content preparation costs, and allow them to offer their premium content across more devices."

"The ability to consistently reach all viewers across devices, in an open and standard way, is the heart of Adobe's HTTP Dynamic Streaming Certification," said Scott Wellwood, director of business development, at Adobe. "Akamai and Adobe have had a long strategic relationship. We are thrilled that Akamai has reached this milestone and look forward to the upcoming general availability of HTTP Dynamic Streaming within the Akamai HD Network."

Five Leading Health Systems Create New Care Connectivity Consortium

Mayo Clinic, Geisinger, Kaiser Permanente, Intermountain Healthcare, and Group Health Announce Plan to Securely Share Patient-Specific Data Through Care Connectivity Consortium

WASHINGTON, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Five innovative and leading health systems, each of whom are pioneers in the use of electronic medical records for their patients, joined together today to announce a new initiative to securely exchange electronic health data, with the first data exchange planned in the next year.

Electronic medical information is one of the most important care support tools available in world health care today. That tool works much better when the caregivers for a single patient can connect electronically. These leading care systems have created the Care Connectivity Consortium to pioneer the effective connectivity of electronic patient information in an approach that protects patient confidentiality.

Collectively bringing together both the latest technology and a shared mission to deliver patient-centered high-value health care to the citizens of this nation, Geisinger Health System (PA), Kaiser Permanente (CA), Mayo Clinic (MN), Intermountain Healthcare (UT), and Group Health Cooperative (WA) today announced the creation of an interoperability consortium. The consortium will utilize standards-based health information technology to share data about patients electronically.

"Five of the nation's premier health care providers have decided to form this consortium to help lead the health care discussion in this country with this unprecedented health IT collaboration created to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care," said Glenn Steele, Jr., MD, PhD, president and chief executive officer, Geisinger Health System.

The goal of the consortium is to demonstrate better and safer care with better data availability. Patients will benefit. If a patient from one system gets sick far from home and must receive health care in another system -- or if any system sends patients to another -- doctors and nurses at each of the consortium systems will be able to easily and quickly access invaluable information about the patient's medications, allergies, and health conditions, allowing them to provide the right kind of treatment at the right time and avoid unintended consequences like adverse medication interactions.

"This collaborative effort exists because we all have reached the same important conclusion about linking and sharing patient-specific data," said George Halvorson, chairman and chief executive officer of Kaiser Permanente. "Our five organizations share the common mission of improving health care in the United States and our belief is that when doctors have real-time data about patients, care is better and more effective."

The five health systems believe that achieving electronic health information interoperability and connectivity will be a critical next step in the United States becoming a 21st century, information-enabled health care system. With patient privacy and security as overarching priorities, the Care Connectivity Consortium's goal is to demonstrate that effective and timely health information exchange using the latest national IT standards is possible in a secure environment and among geographically disparate health care providers.

Individually, each of the five member organizations have been health care electronic information pioneers -- each site already proving the value of health IT for their own patients. Electronic medical records specific to each care setting are improving the quality of care for patients with chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and asthma today, as well as providing the best care in emergency situations. Collectively, the goal of the consortium will be to take the practical steps needed to actually link needed data between the separate care systems and medical records.

"Each of our organizations can point to concrete examples in which information technology allowed us to develop new knowledge, facilitate decisions, improve safety, efficiency and coordination of care, and offer the best treatment for the patient," said John Noseworthy, MD, president and chief executive officer, Mayo Clinic. "This collaboration will demonstrate what is possible when a unique union of forces is brought to bear on this multi-faceted challenge: realizing the promise of health information technology for patients across the nation."

Members of the Care Connectivity Consortium have a clear vision that the same benefits of the full medical information that exists in each of our systems should be extended to all patients by connecting all communities and the nation in order to improve health care for all Americans. The collective goal is to implement first generation CCC interoperability tools over the next year, in a manner consistent with national health IT standards. The consortium partners are already clear leaders in health IT implementation -- all are committed to sharing experiences with the health care community to improve care delivery and outcomes for all patients in America.

"As part of our continuing efforts to improve the coordination of patient care, whether for our patients or those who choose to see other providers, Group Health is pleased to partner with these exceptional care systems to provide the ability to share clinical information," said Scott Armstrong, chief executive officer, Group Health Cooperative. "Our hope is that this partnership will grow and help accelerate the implementation of a national health information exchange, leading to better care for everyone."

"With more than 40 years of extensive experience in health IT, Intermountain Healthcare has been able to use clinical systems to promote evidence-based best practices that improve patient outcomes. Our consortium partners join with us in having a clear vision for developing IT solutions and standards," said Charles W. Sorenson, MD, president and chief executive officer, Intermountain Healthcare. "Together, we are advancing how health IT can be used to improve care while lowering overall health care costs to the communities we serve."

MILAN, Italy,April 5, 2011/PRNewswire/ --The Carmazzi 1bag scalable laptop bag system has received over 2000 blog and Facebook posts relating to what people want in a laptop bag. Carmazzi has translated that information into its scalable 1bag design, which is being rigorously tested by 100 travelers around the globe. These beta 1bag testers will be providing feedback to Carmazzi to further improve the 1bag for productivity, style and ease of use. Meanwhile, Carmazzi is talking to retailers around the globe for distribution of its final upgraded system that was designed by the people, for the people

Why is the 1bag scalable laptop bag system different than any other laptop bag?

Because it is not a single laptop bag, it is multiple bag parts the user configures according to their needs at the time. They can create the ideal bag for their situation on the go. The concept video at: http://carmazzi1bag.com explains it in more detail. The various video reviews identify the various configurations and uses of the Carmazzi 1bag.

But the biggest difference is in the bag's "Eco System." Because of its segmented structure and flexibility, the 1bag system can support 3 party accessories (Apps) created by external designers and developers and provides a diverse range of styles and functions.

Functions include:

    --  Built in Power for your Laptop and USB accessories
    --  GPS tracking for the bag
    --  Travel Accessories and Expanders
    --  Solar Power to run your laptop
    --  Diverse designs for "Fashion Flaps" and "Bag Faces"
    --  And more...

This is where scalability comes in to play. 1bag customers can choose only what they want and have the diverse choices to do so. The 1bag's price is USD89.95, a bargain for the double stitched UPC coated Nylon with Neoprene lining. Add pockets, accessories, designs... and customers control their budgets and support their lifestyle.

Carmazzi sees this bag to compete with the big brands because consumers are more complex and needs more diverse than they used to be. According to Arthur Carmazzi, globally recognized Leadership Speaker and architect of the 1bag, "The 1bag was designed by customers to solve their problems, not just carry their laptop, it changes with their needs. Other laptop bags are confined to one design, one weight, and one set of functions."
