Athlon Sports and Moontoast Score with Group Buying on Facebook

Publisher Leverages School Pride to Sell Magazines

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Athlon Sports, publisher of the nation's largest college sports magazine, has found a new way to increase sales in key markets. Working with its college network, Athlon is launching a group-buying campaign with a series of school-specific storefronts using Moontoast's Distributed Store - right on the schools' Facebook pages.

Moontoast's Distributed Store lets brands promote and sell products directly from their Facebook page, website, or partner's website. Now, with the new group-buying feature, fans can also participate in group buys - without leaving Facebook or the brand's website. The group-buying feature makes it easy for brands to harness the "power of the crowd" which helps offers go viral increasing new customer acquisition. Unlike other group-buying providers, with Moontoast the brand retains control of the offer presentation, margins, and customer list. To see all of the schools involved with the Athlon Custom Covers program visit: http://customcovers.athlonsports.com/. 

The campaign uses the school pride of fans, alumni, students, and faculty to boost sales of Athlon Sports' publications covering college sports. The campaign targets schools that do not typically appear on Athlon magazine covers. Schools that want to see their own team on the cover, can do a group buy for a special, "custom covers" print run. Fans make individual purchases right from Facebook, and the Moontoast Distributed Store aggregates those orders into a single buy for the supplemental print run.

To-date, close to fifty colleges across nine conferences have signed up to participate in the program. Schools like Duke, Army, Mississippi, Michigan State, Purdue, Stanford and Texas A&M have stores ready to launch on their Facebook fan pages.

"We've run similar campaigns with some success in the past," says Athlon chief product officer, Bryce Wells. "But being able to launch them as group buys on Facebook improves the old model and helps us experiment in untapped markets without a lot of risk." About the Moontoast Distributed Store, he adds, "The implementation is simple, and once we're up and running, the administration tools save us a ton of time."

The combination of rabid college sports fans, Facebook, and Moontoast's social commerce platform creates a powerful engine to drive sales of Athlon's products. Blair Heavey, Moontoast CEO says, "Social commerce facilitates the integration of sales transactions directly into the social stream. With the addition of group buying, brands are able to truly leverage the viral and community aspects of social commerce - taking things to the next level."

Innovative publishers like Athlon are working with smart technology partners to crack the social commerce code - finding new and better ways to monetize social networks. For Athlon Sports, Moontoast's Distributed Store, with its group-buying feature, is the perfect solution for reaching untapped markets. Its direct-to-fan engagement and easy implementation build on the authenticity of the fan-to -team relationship, opening up new revenue opportunities.

CipherGuard Technology Secures Computers With a Physical Key

BOSTON, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LucidPort Technology today demonstrated the CipherGuard Computer Encryption System at the SecureWorld Expo.  The CipherGuard secures the private information on a computer with a physical key.

Like a key for your computer, the CipherGuard protects your sensitive information with full AES-256 encryption. Plug in the CipherGuard to access your files. Unplug it to secure them. No passwords to remember or change. The CipherGuard guards your data from key-loggers, malware, and thieves even if your computer is not password protected.

"Save sensitive files directly on your local hard drive without worrying about hackers stealing your data," said Reid Augustin, Vice President of Product Development at LucidPort.  "The CipherGuard's physical security gives you the peace of mind that passwords cannot."

CipherGuard technology offers hardware-based endpoint data protection without the hassles and hazards of passwords.  Unlike encrypted hard disks or thumb drives, the CipherGuard provides unlimited storage space with a fixed investment. A single CipherGuard can be used to encrypt multiple drives (including USB drives and flash keys) on multiple computers.

The CipherGuard will be available in Q2 from Amazon.com, Marathon6.com, and from the LucidPort website (http://www.lucidport.com/cipherguard, part# USB800).

Comstor Expands Cisco Offerings to Include Full Range of TelePresence Solutions, Including Former Tandberg Products

Cisco-Dedicated Business Unit of Westcon Group to Distribute World-Class Videoconferencing Portfolio

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Comstor, the business unit of Westcon Group dedicated to Cisco products, today announced an expansion of its offerings to now include Cisco's full TelePresence portfolio.  Comstor is one of a select group of global distributors to deliver Cisco's range of videoconferencing solutions, including those recently acquired from Tandberg.

Cisco TelePresence delivers a live, face-to-face experience enabling people from different offices and cities around the world to meet virtually using the power of the network.  Meeting participants can share content, create high-quality video recordings of events, consult with experts, and deliver powerful personalized services - all using the network for an immersive in-person experience.  The solutions allow organizations of all sizes to substantially increase their global impact without increasing carbon footprints - accelerating corporate green initiatives by reducing travel.

"Our TelePresence portfolio is specifically designed to put people at the center of collaboration, changing the very nature of how they work.  Cisco is at the core of this change, as our rich collaboration suite empowers workers like never before - allowing them to become more productive by using video and face-to-face collaboration," said Scott Brown, vice president of worldwide distribution at Cisco.

Comstor adds Cisco TelePresence to its already strong suite of Cisco technology.  This past October, Comstor  announced a series of global LEAP (Learn, Experience, Architect, and Plan) "Centers of Excellence," providing the necessary foundation for vendors and partners to test, train, experiment, simulate and collaborate on the Cisco Unified Computing System.

Today's announcement provides a platform for former Tandberg partners to quickly integrate into the Cisco channel ecosystem.  The alliance also powers current Cisco partners to extend their solutions into this increasingly important market segment.

"In this challenging global economy, companies are taking a closer look at executive and employee travel.  But the need for collaborative work among customers, partners and other employees is only growing in importance," said Jon Pritchard, President, Comstor Worldwide.  "With this in mind, business video is quickly becoming one of the most significant revenue opportunities for our partners over the next two years."

Industry analysts around the world support this claim.  Most analysts estimate that revenue for worldwide videoconferencing will reach $8-$10 billion within the next four years.  Leveraging this opportunity, Comstor will distribute the entire portfolio of Cisco TelePresence and videoconferencing products, including:  Immersive Systems, Multipurpose Room Systems, Personal Systems, Solutions Platform, Call Control, Management, Conferencing, Media Services, Peripherals and Accessories, and Cloud Services.

Hitachi ID Launches Privileged Access Manager, Self-Service Anywhere

New release of Hitachi ID Management Suite includes access control for
privileged accounts, session monitoring and access to self-service for
mobile users

BOSTON, MA, March 23 /PRNewswire/ - Hitachi ID Systems, a leading developer of identity and access management solutions, today
released version 7.1.0 of its ID Management Suite. The new release
includes updates to Password Manager and a rebranded Privileged Access Manager, both with important new capabilities.

Privileged Access Manager

With the release of version 7.1.0, Privileged Password Manager is
rebranded as Privileged Access Manager to reflect its broader
functionality. This includes the ability to connect users to privileged
accounts without manipulating passwords, as well as several other
important new features, including:

        --  Session monitoring, to record video display, keystrokes, webcam
            images and more during login sessions to privileged accounts.
            Session recording is accomplished without a software
            installation on user PCs or managed systems and without having
            to route user logins through a proxy server.
        --  A new auto-discovery system, capable of discovering,
            classifying and probing over 10,000 managed systems per hour.
        --  New access-disclosure methods, such as assigning temporary
            group memberships on Windows systems and establishing temporary
            SSH trust relationships on Unix/Linux systems.
        --  Built-in identity management features to manage user membership
            in AD or LDAP groups, since these groups normally control
            access-disclosure policies.

"The new capabilities of Privileged Access Manager make it the most
scalable and robust product available for securing administrator, DBA
and service accounts," said Idan Shoham, Hitachi ID CTO. "The new auto-discovery system will significantly reduce the cost of
deploying and managing Privileged Access Manager, while the new
session-monitoring feature creates a detailed forensic audit trail. The
new features are offered at no extra charge and create an excellent
value proposition for our customers."

Password Manager

Version 7.1.0, of Password Manager is the first solution on the market
to enable mobile users with corporate laptops that use cached domain
credentials to access self-service password reset, right from their
locked-out login screen. This capability, called Self Service Anywhere,
allows access to password reset and smart-card PIN reset from home,
from a hotel room and even using a public WiFi hot spot or aircard.

"Password Manager is the most comprehensive authentication-management
platform available," said Shoham. "It supports password reset, PIN
reset for smart cards and OTP tokens and key recovery for users with
full disk encryption on their PCs.

"Users can access self-service from a full or smartphone web browser,
over the telephone and even from a locked-out login screen, and from
anywhere, be it a coffee shop or airport departures lounge."

This announcement coincides with a presentation by Shoham at SecureWorld
Boston, titled "The Intersection of Cloud Computing and IAM."

Availability

Hitachi ID Password Manager 7.1.0 and Hitachi ID Privileged Access
Manager 7.1.0 are both available immediately. Existing customers should
contact their account representative to arrange for an upgrade. New
customers should contact sales@hitachi-id.com or call 1.403.233.0740.

Jabra Launches Industry-First Speakerphone With Three Speakers and HD Voice Ready Technology

Take Calls & Listen to Music Anywhere You Are With the Jabra FREEWAY; Partnership with Voice Assist Creates the Ultimate Hands-Free Solution

ORLANDO, Fla., March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jabra today announced the Jabra FREEWAY, a revolutionary new speakerphone that features industry-first innovation and expands the Company's wide offerings in the category.  Taking audio quality to a whole new level, the Jabra FREEWAY features a ground-breaking new three speaker system - a first-ever in the category - along with HD Ready Voice, ensuring superior audio quality on both ends of a phone call.  The Jabra FREEWAY provides unique versatility as both a device to be used inside or outside the car and for both calls as well as listening to music with any device - an iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, mp3 players or video game console. The Jabra FREEWAY will be showcased at CTIA Wireless show this week in Orlando, Florida, prior to the North American launch in May.

The Jabra FREEWAY features an intuitive design and a complete hands-free experience for users, allowing them to focus on the task at hand.  Once the Jabra FREEWAY is clipped to the car's visor, it automatically turns on when the car door is opened and then helps the driver pair the device to a mobile phone. Drivers can then sit back with their hands on the wheel and focus on the road ahead and use their voice to solicit all kinds of commands - making, answering, ending, redialing or rejecting calls - without touching their phone.  And once a conversation is finished or a destination reached, the FREEWAY automatically shuts off so there is no need to worry about saving battery life for the next use.

The Jabra FREEWAY also comes with a free one year subscription (valued at $59) to Voice Assist, a voice controlled app that can be used with any type of mobile phone or IP-connected device.  With Voice Assist, calls and commands can be performed all by voice controlled communication, allowing users to call, send or respond to emails and text messages, or post to social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, all by voice. 

Those features combined withVoice Guidance, which communicates pairing instructions, battery level and connection status, and Caller ID, an easy and safe way to know who is calling by announcing the name of the caller or the phone number if the caller is not in your phonebook, provide a truly hands-free experience.

Other industry-leading features include Virtual Surround Sound, delivering superior audio quality and rich, crisp, full stereo sound anywhere your day takes you - at home, in the car or at a friend's house - and A2DP for playing music and podcasts or listening to GPS directions, long talk and stand-by times, connection to more 2 Bluetooth devices at same time, and auto on/off.

The Jabra FREEWAY was recently named a winner of the 2011 red dot awards for product design, and is currently a finalist in the CTIA 2011 Emerging Technology (E-Tech) Awards Program.

Mobile Marketing Drives Participation And Revenues With Text To Screen

Professional Sporting Events And Concert Promoters Push Mobile Marketing To New Levels With iVisionMobile.com's Real Time Text To Screen At Live Events.

LOS ANGELES, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The leading sports franchises and concert promoters in the US and Canada have a powerful new tool in their arsenal of Mobile Marketing solutions. iVision Mobile (http://www.iVisionMobile.com), a leading mobile marketing provider to the US and Canada's top brands and Mobile Marketing Companies, has recently launched a real-time Text to Screen widget. iVision Mobile's software enables teams including the Miami HEAT, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets, and Club Deportivo Chivas USA Soccer, to engage fans with real-time campaigns that generate significant return on investment and build a valuable opt-in database.

The new widget lets users create voting/polling, trivia/surveys, inbound message scrolling, and multiple message text wall campaigns in minutes. A text to screen project features multiple data layers made up of images, static/dynamic text, animated horizontal bars and can include live video feeds. Projects are then exported to an internet-enabled PC or Mac computer that is plugged directly into the visual feed at a live event. Multiple data groups can be created to switch between promotions in real time during an event. Management of the text to screen and moderating of inbound messages is done using iVision Mobile's iMessenger software.

Although brands are now starting to embrace text to screen at live events, iVision Mobile's clients have been very successful with the technology since 2007. During the '07-'08 NBA season, the Seattle SuperSonics generated upwards of $19,000 in additional revenue through ticket sales and in-store merchandise purchases off of text to screen campaigns at home games. In July of 2010, the Super Estrella Reventon concert at Staples Center in Los Angeles generated thousands of unique opt-ins with an iPhone giveaway that let fans send messages to the video screens. By engaging fans with an incentivized offer and incorporating a mobile coupon for merchandise purchases, the brands were able to increase fan participation and brand awareness while driving sales.

"We really enjoy developing new mobile marketing solutions," said Omer Samiri, Founder and CEO of iVision Mobile. "This text to screen widget will help venues and teams save thousands of dollars on their text to screen campaigns. Text to screen can generate thousands of opt-ins in a very short time frame and is great for driving merchandise sales. I am hopeful that this new technology enables more companies to utilize text to screen at their venues and events."

iVision Mobile provides sms marketing and text messaging software solutions for businesses. iVisionMobile empowers the nation's leading text marketing companies with private label mobile marketing software. iVision Mobile also empowers brands across industries including healthcare, automotive, sporting, religious, nightclubs/restaurants, debt collection, advertising agencies and more with innovative mobile marketing campaigns.

Macheen Delivers Internet-included Connectivity Over The Sprint Nationwide Network

Relationship Accelerates Sprint's Momentum in "Consumer Machine-to-Machine"

ORLANDO, Fla., March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- International CTIA Wireless 2011 -- Macheen, Inc. today announced they are working with Sprint to help consumer electronics manufacturers and retailers deliver new, simple, "no commitment" options for consumers to connect their devices to the Internet; meaning M2M enabled e-readers, tablets, laptops, and gaming devices ship 'hot' already connected to the Internet via the Sprint Nationwide Network.

"Sprint has been an early pioneer of M2M. Teaming up with Macheen strengthens our position in the 'consumer machine-to-machine' (consumer M2M) space, where the booming market for connected consumer electronics is spawning new opportunities for all," said Matt Carter, President, Sprint Global Wholesale Solutions. "Macheen's proven technology provides device makers with a simple path to roll out products that come already "hot" on the Sprint network, right out of the box.  Macheen complements our retail offers and other enabling M2M and wholesale partnerships with a fast path to new revenue streams."

Macheen (officially launched out of stealth mode last week) offers a global service platform for Internet-included connected devices. Macheen will provide Sprint with new "consumer M2M" revenue streams as it leverages their infrastructure and provides complementary business models.

"At Macheen, we think consumers would rather focus on what they can do when connected, not on how to get connected," said Richard Schwartz, President and CEO of Macheen, Inc. "Macheen's technology makes connectivity to a wireless network a given. That means consumers get new, no-nonsense options to go online and stay connected, manufacturers get simplified device rollouts and enjoy much higher attach rates. Our business relationship* (1) with Sprint enables us to power a new, growing category of connected customers on the Nationwide Sprint Network."

Macheen's global service platform is live and in production in Germany. Earlier this month, Dell announced it had chosen Macheen to power its new "hot out of the box" mobile broadband service, Dell NetReady, available on select Dell laptops in Germany.

Macheen is exhibiting in the Sprint booth (3076) at the International CTIA Wireless show taking place in Orlando, Florida from 22-24 March 2011.

Broadcom Completes World's First Microsoft® Mediaroom(TM) Client Integration With New Embedded Wireless High Definition Set-Top Box Solution

Broadcom Delivers Production-Ready, Carrier-Grade Wi-Fi for Whole-Home High Definition Video Distribution

IRVINE, Calif., March 23, 2011/PRNewswire/ --Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that its Broadcom® BCM4717V wireless system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution is the world's first to complete the Microsoft® Mediaroom(TM) wireless client integration inside a high definition (HD) set-top box (STB).  When coupled with Broadcom's popular BCM7405 set-top box SoC solution, the BCM4717V-based module enables OEMs to build IPTV solutions that connect to the service wirelessly.  Previously, multiple set-top boxes within a home were connected to one another, and to the TV service, via a wired network (such as MoCA, HPNA and Ethernet).  The addition of the BCM4717V to the Microsoft Mediaroom client now provides carriers with an embedded wireless option for the in-home deployment of set-top boxes that yields a far faster and less expensive installation method.

The completion of this Mediaroom wireless client integration highlights the continued commitment by Microsoft and Broadcom to make carrier-grade wireless TV service a reality.  Broadcom also worked very closely with Cisco to integrate the BCM4717V with Mediaroom into their ISB7005 IP set-top box and VEN401 Access Point.  Mediaroom client integration adds the features and functions necessary to control and manage a wireless interface for wide deployment in a carrier network as well as providing a rigorous testing procedure to ensure that consumers will experience glitch-free video anywhere in their home.  Functionally, a Broadcom-enabled wireless STB is indistinguishable from a traditionally wired STB, offering the same quality of service (QoS), but now adds reliable and robust distribution of HD video services, whole-home digital video recorder (DVR) services, and content sharing across multiple screens/devices such as TVs, PCs, and mobile phones via Wi-Fi.

Highlights/Key Facts:

    --  According to ABI Research, approximately 15.5 million STBs will ship
        with Wi-Fi in 2015 - growing at 35 percent annually from 2010 to 2015.
    --  Microsoft Mediaroom now supports BCM4717V-based modules on BCM7405
        platforms to enable Wi-Fi as a deployment option.
    --  Carrier-grade Wi-Fi means that the radio, physical layer (PHY) device,
        media access controller (MAC), and application layers have been
        optimized to minimize packet loss, provide whole-home coverage, and
        minimize video glitches as a result of interference or changing wireless
        conditions.
    --  The BCM4717V IPTV solution provides:
        --  Primary operation on the 5GHz band to allow the greatest frequency
            agility.
        --  2.4GHz is also supported for communication with legacy devices.
        --  MII/GMII connection to the IPTV host SoC such as the BCM7405.
        --  A superior MIMO radio and digital architecture, coupled with a high
            power front-end to provide excellent whole-home wireless coverage.
        --  Automatic detection of multimedia streams to enable QoS processing.
        --  Advanced interference mitigation features to ensure robust and
            reliable wireless video transport.
        --  Added intelligence to enable reliable multicast traffic over a
            wireless network.
        --  Support for three direct antenna inputs inside of the STB, along
            with intelligent algorithms to increase performance regardless of
            the location and orientation of the client device.
    --  The Broadcom BCM7405 set-top box SoC solution previously completed
        Microsoft Mediaroom wired client integration.

Steve Koepp, Senior Manager, Business Development, TV, Video & Music Business, Microsoft Corporation

"Broadcom's completion of the Mediaroom wireless client integration represents a significant milestone for the expansion of the Mediaroom ecosystem by providing our service provider customers and set-top box OEM partners an equivalent performance wireless option.  With Broadcom's high performance wireless solution, we are together driving the transition to a more connected and personal TV entertainment experience in the home."

Bill Bunch, Sr. Director of Broadcom's Wireless LAN Media line of business

"Broadcom is excited to be partnering with pioneers in the connected home segment demonstrating our ongoing and long-term commitment to support Microsoft Mediaroom and the delivery of innovative wireless STB services. We look forward to further collaboration with Cisco, a leader in the IP set-top box market.  Our production-ready, carrier-grade wireless solution is a first in the industry, enabling a faster and less expensive installation method for HD-grade IPTV.  This should also allow carriers to significantly reduce their overall operating expenses by providing a wireless deployment option for HD-quality in-home set-top boxes."

Bank Performance App - The Bank Performance App enables consumers to analyze and review the performance of over 7,000 FDIC-insured financial institutions from the first quarter of 2007 through the fourth quarter of 2010. With this app, users can analyze the top 100 banks in the country and rank them by 10 different key financial metrics; explore bank performance to see trends and find causes, including the ability to view full income statements and balance sheets for any chosen U.S. bank; and review top and bottom ranked banks using the leaders and laggards analytical model.

Hospital Quality App - The Hospital Quality App enables consumers to find the best U.S. hospitals using three different sets of analysis and a combination of map visualizations, reports, graphs, and dashboards. Users can locate the closest hospitals and compare quality rankings along several measures, analyze state hospital rankings, and compare the top 300 national hospitals across key metrics. The data is from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Contex Launches Wide Format Scanning Solutions for EDM/ECM Markets

ALLEROED, Denmark, March 23, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - EMC Captiva ISIS Drivers Simplify the Management and Workflow
Processing of Small to Oversized Documents

    Contex, the world's leading developer of large format scanning and
imaging solutions, announces a new wide format scanning solution for the
electronic document/content management market that features EMC(R) Captiva(R)
ISIS(R) drivers. Users can eliminate workflow processing bottlenecks in
scanning large format drawings, charts, maps, or other over-sized documents
directly into EDM or ECM software and electronic capture software with this
industry-standard interface. Contex's new solutions make it possible to
manage large format documents within the same workflow process as letter- or
legal-size documents, while achieving high-quality scans with
document-specific presets.

    "To stay competitive, organizations must be able to capture content from
hard copy documents with speed, accuracy, and flexibility. The powerful
Contex scanners coupled with EMC Captiva ISIS drivers are making all this
possible," states Daren Gardner, Director, Product Management at EMC
Corporation.

    "As public and private industry sectors require digitization of records -
for disaster prevention, green practices, and storage expense reduction - it
is important to maintain a consistent workflow process regardless of the
document size. Contex's EDM/ECM solutions make this possible by eliminating
the challenges of processing documents larger than A3 or B-size in a business
process workflow," comments Brian Honeycutt, Product Manager of Contex A/S.
"By bringing a large format scanning solution in-house, users can continue to
use the familiar interface from their EDM/ECM or capture solution when
scanning large formats - thus keeping the process consistent - while
delivering the right quality the first time."

    "A turnkey indexing product is critical to our business. When it comes to
scanning large documents, we have always counted on Contex scanners," states
Paul M. Neal, Chief Stewardship Officer of Unity ECM, a provider of content
management solutions for municipal governments, federal agencies and fortune
500 companies. "When testing our Contex SD4490 with Laserfiche ScanConnect
software, we found that the solution made processing large format documents
in our workflow an easy and seamless process, which can save time and money
for us and our customers."

Sabadell United Bank Integrates Signature Fraud Detection Solution from SQN, Parascript

- Miami-based commercial bank automates signature verification process and reduces labor costs with technology from SQN and Parascript -

LONGMONT, Colo. and RANCOCAS, N.J., March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Parascript, LLC, the image analysis and pattern recognition technology provider, and SQN Banking Systems, a provider of integrated fraud detection and process improvement products for the financial industry, today announced that Sabadell United Bank, headquartered in Miami, has implemented SQN's SENTRY: SigCheck(TM) automated signature verification system with Parascript's signature authentication software.

"At Sabadell United Bank, we looked at numerous alternatives to help improve and optimize the signature verification process. We found SENTRY: SigCheck with Parascript's signature verification technology to be the best automated solution, directly addressing the needs of our bank, and selected it because of its high accuracy and short item processing time," said Marisela Del Valle, senior vice president for Sabadell United Bank.

The integrated solution allows the bank to run checks through the SigCheck filter, and compare against the actual signature on the signature card, in instances where the customer signature is suspicious. Before selecting SENTRY: SigCheck with Parascript's SignatureXpert®, Sabadell United manually examined signatures; employees had to compare a signature card against each individual check presented for payment.

The new, more automated process, employing SENTRY: SigCheck with Parascript's SignatureXpert, has resulted in greater accuracy, and operational and staffing efficiencies. The integrated signature verification system identifies signature irregularities when compared against the referenced signature on the signature card or on previously captured and filtered checks. Additionally SENTRY: SigCheck offers many user-defined options. The bank was able to select the length of time used for historical signature comparison, for example.

"By combining Parascript's signature verification software with SQN's SENTRY: SigCheck, we are providing banks and financial institutions with an outstanding, integrated fraud prevention solution, increasing accuracy and efficiency, and significantly lowering  processing costs," said Joe Uhland, president of SQN Banking Systems.

SQN's SigCheck takes on-us check images, extracts one or more signatures from the check, depending on the associated signing rules, and verifies the signatures using Parascript's SignatureXpert to prevent fraud. SignatureXpert leverages artificial intelligence and exploits the most comprehensive and advanced methods available in the art of signature verification. Automatic comparison is executed by a powerful combination of verifiers. In particular, the technology combines a human-like holistic analysis of a signature and signature segmentation with a subsequent analysis of the signature elements and characteristics. Parascript's signature verification technology is currently being used in Brazil, Russia, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, the United States, and Zimbabwe, among other countries.

"We are proud of our partnership with SQN and our ability to offer banks a powerful solution to detect and prevent signature forgeries on check images," said Mike Fenton, vice president of sales and operations for Parascript. "The application at Sabadell United is another great example of how our signature verification solution offers immediate benefits, not only in fraud prevention, but in labor cost savings as well."

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PowerCloud(TM) Systems, creator of the world's first cloud-based management platform for networking OEM companies, today announces the latest release of its CloudCommand(TM) virtualized network controller platform.  The new release includes features and enhancements that deliver improved ease of use, manageability and security.  It demonstrates the ability of PowerCloud Systems and its cloud-based technology to rapidly aggregate user experience, respond to feature requests and seamlessly push a significant new release to an entire installed based of business users.

"CloudCommand delivers a suite of significant new features and usability enhancements that our partners' installed base of small- and medium-sized business (SMB) customers told us they wanted most," said Andrea Peiro, co-founder and vice president of product development and marketing.  "CloudCommand is designed for rapid innovation, and today's release reflects our continued commitment to deliver affordable, easy-to-use solutions that materially help SMBs and the IT solution providers that support them to succeed in their businesses, whether in hospitality, education, healthcare or retail."

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) leverage the CloudCommand platform to quickly bring to market cloud-based networking products for SMBs that deliver business-grade features and consumer usability for a fraction of what traditional enterprise networking solutions cost.  The first commercial implementation of the platform is available in D-Link's DAP-2555 AirPremier Access Point Powered by CloudCommand and provides virtualized Wi-Fi controller capabilities.

CloudCommand:  Enhanced Benefits

CloudCommand's newest features enhance the product's three key platform benefits: ease of use, manageability and increased security.

Ease of use

    --  Streamlined Interface Makes It Easier than Ever to Deploy and Manage
        Networks:  A streamlined interface with improved navigation and more
        comprehensive reporting tools makes network setup and management simpler
        and faster than ever.  Adding a new access point to a network now takes
        less than 3 minutes on average.

Manageability

    --  Optional Access Point Autonomous Mode Delivers Continuous Coverage:
        Optional autonomous mode transforms access points into independent
        devices, controllable via local user interface and not requiring a web
        service subscription (thereby preserving the hardware investment and
        ensuring local connectivity).
    --  VLAN Tagging Means Better Traffic Management and Security:  VLAN tagging
        (IEEE 802.1Q) enables both primary and guest networks to be individually
        tagged to direct traffic to specific VLANs for complete traffic
        segregation, filtering and bandwidth control.
    --  Diagnostic Tool Delivers Improved Performance:  A connectivity status
        diagnostics tool enables access points to report detailed connection
        information to the CloudCommand virtualized network controller platform,
        greatly simplifying remote diagnostics and issue resolutions.
    --  One-Click Firmware Update Increases Network Management Efficiency:
        Improved firmware updating now executes with a single mouse click,
        allowing all access points to automatically update.
    --  Active Power Management Boosts Performance: Transmission power
        management control enables adjusting the transmission power level of
        individual access points to minimize interference and maximize
        performance.

Security

    --  Device Isolation Gives Connected Users More Protection than Ever: Guest
        network client isolation now guarantees security and complete privacy
        for devices connecting to the Internet via the guest network.

Dell Chengdu Global Operation Facility Groundbreaking in Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone

CHENGDU, China, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Today, Dell, the world's leading systems and services provider, held its groundbreaking ceremony for Dell Chengdu Global Operation Facility at Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone.

An agreement was signed between Dell and Chengdu Municipal Government on Sept. 14, 2010 that Dell will build its Dell (Chengdu) Flagship Facility engaging in manufacturing, sales and customer services in Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone. After effective communications between the two sides, Dell decided to establish its global operation facility covering its complete industrial chain in Chengdu, making it one of the most important pivots of Dell's global operation system, and promoting Dell's overall transformation.

Dell is going to build the Chengdu Global Operation Facility into a world-class modernized manufacturing center, with a complete production line to cover its entire portfolio including government service, large business, consumer, and small and medium business, by utilizing its global product development and design resources. The first batch of products are expected to off the assembly line in Q4 of the fiscal year of 2012, which will contribute to the increase of Dell's global supply volume in the fiscal year of 2013.

Dell Chengdu Global Operation Facility will supply the international market as well as meet the needs of domestic Chinese customers, targeting a global product supply system with the mutual support and complementarity of Dell Xiamen Operation Center. With the establishment of Dell Chengdu Global Operation Facility, more global suppliers will be drawn here to seek further development, which will help local suppliers in Sichuan and Chengdu to strengthen their capabilities of serving global markets, upgrade the overall industrial level of Chengdu's manufacturing industry, and create an optimized supply chain and logistics system. The building and operation of this facility in the next few years will create over 3,000 job opportunities for areas in and around Chengdu. In addition, this facility is to be built into a green operation center. This facility will be carbon-neutral, with markedly reduced energy consumption. The energy consumed in the manufacturing of all products will be 25% lower and green packaging will be adopted. Dell has set up its first customer service center of west China in Tianfu Software Park, Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone on Jan. 17, 2010.

It is reported that IT giant Intel, TI, Foxconn, Lenovo, Compal, and Wistron have all made strategic presence in Chengdu. It is expected that the computer output capacity of Chengdu will reach 100 million units in Oct. 2011, accounting for 20% of the world's total and 170 million units in 2013.

Veolia Environmental Services Launches Alerts System to Increase Engagement With the Local Community

Veolia Environmental Services, one of Australia's largest waste management, recycling and industrial services providers, launched new website functionality in the form of SMS and email alerts.

PYRMONT, NSW, Australia, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than 40 years Veolia has been implementing innovative, effective and sustainable waste solutions across Australia. In an effort to demonstrate accountability and transparency about the company and its performance, the recycling and facilities management industry leader has enhanced its website with a wealth of community engaging features.

The purpose of these additional communications tools will allow for real-time information to be disseminated to its customers and the greater community where Veolia operates. As Veolia Environmental Services operates at over 100 locations within Australia, and provides services to over 60,000 clients, Veolia needs to be at the forefront of extensive community engagement.

The launch of the SMS and email alerts system will be provided in the first instance to the communities of Tarago, Goulburn and Bungendore, and be utilised to alert local residents, and authorities of any changes to operations at Veolia's Woodlawn Bioreactor which may have any impact on the local region.

The Woodlawn Bioreactor is located 250kms south of Sydney, near Goulburn, and accepts over 500,000 tonnes of solid waste from the Sydney Metropolitan Region. The waste sent to this facility is then used to generate electricity, through the utilisation of the methane generated from the decomposing waste. Since commencing operations in 2005, the Woodlawn Bioreactor has accepted over 2 million tonnes of waste from Sydney; from July 2009 to June 2010, the site generated 14,331 MWh of renewable energy, which is enough electricity to power approximately 1,800 homes for a year.

Veolia is currently seeking approval from the NSW Government to increase the maximum assessed input rate of the Woodlawn Bioreactor from 500,000 tonnes of waste per year to 1.13 million tonnes of waste per year. As such, it is imperative that Veolia work closely with the local communities, and keep them informed of every step of this application process.

The availability of an email and SMS communications system will allow customers, and the community to subscribe and be sent information which could relate to changes to operational hours, changes to operational capacity, changes to movements of vehicles in and around key locations, invitations to events and open-days at Veolia facilities and general updates on what Veolia is doing to lessen its environmental impact and work with the local community.

Veolia will soon make these tools available to all customers, to ensure it is engaging in a more interactive and timely manner with the local communities.

About Veolia: Veolia Environmental Services is Australia's environmental services leader in all facets of waste and e-waste management and resource recovery, as well as industrial services such as Industrial Cleaning and Facilities Management. Veolia has over 30 years industry experience in implementing effective, innovative and sustainable Waste Management and Industrial Services solutions.
