Turnitin Releases Website Evaluation Rubric to Analyze and Grade Sources in Student Papers

Instructional tool designed to help develop information literacy and critical thinking skills

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Turnitin, the global leader in originality checking and online grading, today announced a website evaluation rubric to teach students how to analyze and grade the academic quality of the Internet sources used in their writing. The development of The Source Educational Evaluation Rubric (SEER) is in response to recent studies finding that students over-rely on Internet-based sources with questionable academic value.

Turnitin worked closely with educators to design SEER, which is built on five criteria: Authority, Educational Value, Intent, Originality, and Quality. SEER was field tested by secondary and higher education instructors who evaluated over 300 of the most popular sources used by students.

"SEER is a tool I can use to open the discussion with students about evaluating sources and to stress the importance of using quality sources in academic writing," said Danielle Harris, teacher at Champlin Park High School and a SEER field tester. "I think SEER is a brilliant idea that will help students become better writers."

Turnitin is sponsoring two free webcasts focusing on improving student research techniques that will introduce and review SEER with educators:

    --  "What's Wrong with Wikipedia? Evaluating the Sources Used by Students"
        will present the evolution of SEER and recommendations for putting the
        rubric into practice. Registrants will receive access to an interactive
        PDF of SEER to use as an instructional tool with students. Register at:
        http://pages.turnitin.com/WC_013113_register.html
    --  "Grading the Top 100 Student Sources" will apply the SEER model to the
        most popular sources that secondary and higher education students use
        and provide suggestions on how to better guide students in conducting
        appropriate research online. Register at:
        http://pages.turnitin.com/WC_020713_register.html
Additionally, a white paper providing insights into student research behavior, an interactive PDF of SEER, and recommendations for its usage can be downloaded at: http://pages.turnitin.com/evaluating_sources.html.

"Student reliance on 'Googling' has clearly replaced the more rigorous and traditional approaches to research," said Jason Chu, senior education manager at Turnitin. "Our intent in developing the SEER tool - and related materials - is to help educators enhance student information literacy skills for future academic, professional and career success."

MobileKids App Provides Snapshot of Child's Mobile Phone Use

Safety Solution for Children Offers Parental Controls and GPS-tracking Capabilities

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile personal safety product developer Bipper's newest app for iPhone and Android devices, MobileKids, enables parents to monitor activity and set limits on a child's mobile phone use without eavesdropping on private conversations or combing through text messages. The app includes filters to block inappropriate downloads and contacts and GPS-tracking capabilities, features accessible from the parent's phone that aim to alleviate worries about a child's safety.

The mobile app, downloaded and installed on both the parent's and child's mobile phones, reports new downloads and contacts and compiles daily and weekly reports on when and how frequently the child uses the mobile phone. A child knows when the app is installed and can view settings established by parents.

Customizable features on the MobileKids app include the following:

    --  App Controls that show apps downloaded and used by the child and allow
        parents to block unsuitable ones
    --  Contact Controls that display the child's new phone contacts and enable
        parents to permit or block selected phone numbers
    --  Time Controls that let parents set restrictions for the child's mobile
        phone use such as during nighttime or study time
    --  Usage Controls that help parents manage phone bill costs by placing
        consumption limits on minutes, texts, Wi-Fi, Multimedia Messaging
        Service (MMS) and other data
    --  Safety Alarm, a GPS-powered package that includes a one-click SOS button
        and guardian alert children can activate when they feel lost or unsafe
        and real-time tracking capabilities that allow parents to immediately
        locate their child according to schedule or need
MobileKids is the latest mobile product offering for Bipper, whose bSafe mobile personal safety alarm for adults and children was one of the top three iPhone app downloads in Norway prior to its U.S. debut. Entrepreneur and mother Silje Vallestad launched the company in partnership with European phone carriers to offer custom mobile solutions that addressed her concerns as a parent of children eager to own smartphones.

"Our mobile solutions provide parents with a greater degree of assurance about a child's safety while using mobile phones," Vallestad said. "We aim to help parents define limits for a mobile generation much like parents did in previous generations when the only phone in the household was a landline attached to a wall."

For more information about the MobileKids app, please visit http://www.mobilekids.com and our pressroom, http://www.press.bipper.com.

About Bipper
Bipper was founded in 2007 by Silje Vallestad, a mother of three, after her six-year-old daughter's friends began using cell phones and she was unable to find custom mobile solutions that covered her needs as a parent concerned about her children's safety.

Bipper developed and launched MobileKids in Norway and Bulgaria in partnership with two operators in the fall of 2010 and brought the mobile application for smartphones to the international market in 2013. The company launched bSafe in 2011 prompted by requests from mothers who wanted access to the same SOS feature available on their children's MobileKids app.

Headquartered in Norway with offices in Silicon Valley and Kiev, Bipper has received awards that include Red Herring Global, Rookie of the Year, Bully Award, Mobile Premier Award and SIMagine. In 2011, founder Silje Vallestad was named Norway's Entrepreneur of the Year.

Outright.com, a Go Daddy company, Helps Online Sellers Conquer the 1099-K Tax Form in 2013

New IRS policies use 1099-K reports a factor in audit decisions making detailed sales and expense tracking vital for tens of millions of online sellers

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- 2012 was the year of the 1099-K.  With the introduction of the form, the IRS sought to better track the earnings of online sellers.  Despite their intentions last year, the form was sent out to business owners but that was the end of it.  In 2013, things are getting serious.  The IRS has announced they will be matching the 1099-K form numbers against what is submitted by the sellers on their tax returns.  Anyone who has a discrepancy will be getting a much-dreaded letter from the IRS.

Given the newness of this process and its impact on small and micro businesses, Outright.com, a leading online bookkeeping software, offers features to make the 1099-K a breeze.   Outright helps its current user base of 250,000 business owners track their income and expenses from a variety of sources including numerous ecommerce sales sites and payment processors.

As a first step to tackling the 1099-K, business owners should check if the form they received is indeed accurate.  It's always wise to double check numbers in case of a discrepancy.  Users can compare the figures on their 1099-K form against the numbers listed in Outright for a specific payment channel, e.g. PayPal.  Once satisfied that all is indeed in order, an Outright user can then fill out their Schedule C form on the website itself, reconfirm the numbers match what is listed on the 1099-K, and mail the form to the IRS.  Since in 2013 the Schedule C does not include a box for the 1099-K numbers, it is crucial to make sure the gross receipts amount the user lists in the form is not less than the 1099-K amount.

For people who have not yet used Outright, it is not too late.  Customers can use Outright to pull together all of their expenses in one place, making it easier to complete their taxes. 

It is possible to import data from online sellers such as Amazon, eBay or processors like PayPal at any time and the imported transaction history dates back up to one year automatically.  More data can also be uploaded manually. 

Outright is committed to helping small businesses with their finances through changes in the business environment.  "Change is the only constant," says CEO, Steven Aldrich.  "The 1099-K is a new form and how doggedly the IRS pursues audits because of it is yet to be seen.  But in this new year of increased scrutiny, it behooves us at Outright to help our users avoid skirmishes with the tax man and stay focused on what they do best - running their business."

For more information on the 1099-k or on how Outright can help, please visit our helpful tax resource center.

About Outright

Outright - the Mint.com for Business - has one goal: to make accounting as simple as possible so the self-employed can spend as little time as possible on the least enjoyable part of running a business.

"This blog provides an ongoing resource for the friends, families and co-workers of those in the midst of a divorce by providing them with valuable tips for physical, emotional and financial health."

FootballPartyGame.com Offers A Live Trivia Game Designed For Your Football Watch Party

NORMAN, Okla., Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A game designed to be played during Super Bowl watch parties is now available from Bendy Tree, an app design company. Partygoers answer 20 questions before kickoff such as "Will the national anthem last over 94 seconds?" and "Which team will lead at half time?" As questions are answered throughout the football game, points are awarded for correct guesses. An online leader board shows live standings, and a winner is declared when the football game ends. Available for $4.99, the game is offered on the iPhone and iPad through the App Store. The game is also available for other devices at FootballPartyGame.com.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130124/DA46641)

Only one person from a particular party needs to purchase an account. After signing up, the party organizer invites up to 25 friends to join the group. These friends are not charged to play and will receive an email with instructions on making their picks. Picks are made through any web browser or smart device and must be submitted before the national anthem begins. The questions and their point values are based loosely on propositional bet odds.  The game is available online, so it also works for groups who aren't watching the game in the same geographic location.

"Many people love the friends, food, and commercials but don't care much about the teams. At over four hours their interest starts to wane, and hosts are left scrambling for party ideas to entertain their guests", said Josh Wright, founder of Bendy Tree.  "For the price of a bowl of salsa, this game offers an easy way to entertain your guests and keep them engaged."

The questions include topics like commercials, entertainment, the football game itself, and trivial events like the color of Gatorade poured on the winning coach. Points are awarded automatically for correct answers, so there is no burden on a host to track of the outcome of each question.

Paessler Moves to HTML 5 and Previews Improved PRTG Network Monitor at Cisco Live, London

Updated Browser-based UI Offers Faster and More Intuitive User Experience

BURLINGTON, Mass. and NUREMBERG, Germany, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Paessler AG, the innovative network monitoring solutionsspecialist, today announced that its PRTG Network Monitor software has switched to a new HTML 5 based web interface. By converting the User Interface (UI) to a Single Page Application (SPA), the new PRTG features a faster web experience and the ability to view and digest more information on a single page, creating a more streamlined and intuitive workflow for network administrators. Paessler will showcase the new interface for the first time at Cisco Live in London (January 28(th) - February 1(st) 2013, booth E66).

In the updated version, the existing web interface code has been completely rewritten in HTML 5 moving to a Single Page Application (SPA), now using pure AJAX. Reducing the reloading and reparsing of CSS, HTML and JavaScript allows for a faster user experience. PRTG's new web interface now rarely loads complete pages--instead page elements only refresh when necessary. Many tasks take place in pop-up layers within the browser instead of loading new pages, ensuring network administrators can focus on the task at hand.

The rewrite has also resulted in an improved design, which offers better functionality with fewer clicks, making PRTG more efficient to work with. Both the sensor and device pages now offer more information at a single glance, making features and information easier to find. In addition, network admins can now change the priority and favorite status of objects with just one click.

Also included in the update is a new heuristic calculation that matches sensors showing similar behavior, helping the user find interconnections in the network. For example, port X on router A has similar bandwidth consumption compared to port Y on server B, but the admin wasn't aware of a connection at all. This knowledge can lead to better planning of network resources and help the user detect unexpected influences and interactions between systems, which could be the result of security leaks.

"Creating software that is powerful and intuitive has always been a driving force here at Paessler," said Dirk Paessler, founder and CEO at Paessler. "The key to this is a great user interface that displays exactly the right amount of information and is easy to use, making every day tasks more efficient and information easy to find.

"Our new architecture not only enhances the user experience but it also allows Paessler to make future improvements to PRTG much faster. This is important given the growing list of feature requests we receive from customers and our desire to continue improving PRTG as quickly as possible in step with this demand."

To get started with Paessler's award-winning PRTG Network Monitor now and take advantage of its rich feature set, ease of use and simple, cost-effective all-in licensing model, go to http://www.paessler.com/prtg for an instant download.

About Paessler AG
Paessler AG leads the industry in providing the most powerful, affordable and easy-to-use network monitoring and testing solutions.

Serials Solutions Introduces Summon® Spotlighting

Thumbnail images highlight local collections, images and archival material in the Summon discovery service

SEATTLE, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Summon Spotlighting, a new feature of the Summon discovery service, provides dynamic display options for specialized content types. Image Spotlighting dramatically improves discoverability of libraries' most unique and valued collections. Libraries benefit from increased exposure and use of their local collections, image content and archival materials - and researchers are able to discover, view and navigate this high value content in an experience similar to Open Web search engines.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120620/DE27948LOGO-c )

The unique architecture of the Summon unified index allows for hundreds of digital collections contributed by Summon customers to be made available for discovery by patrons at any library with the Summon service. Exposure to locally curated image content from disparate special collections and repositories increases significantly - and researchers benefit from easy access to highly relevant and freely available image content beyond what is available at their own library.

"We are pleased to be able to provide libraries with opportunities to make their highly valued repositories and local collections more discoverable," said John Law, vice president, discovery service, Serials Solutions, a ProQuest business. "Researchers around the world will benefit from the ability to more easily discover image content available in the hundreds of digital collections and repositories curated by members of the Summon community."

With Image Spotlighting, relevant thumbnail images display dynamically in search results from all types of image collections and repositories (local, open access, commercial, non-profit) such as collections contributed by Summon customers, LUNA Commons, and mutual customers of the Summon service and Bridgeman Education or the ARTStor Digital Library. Convenient links guide users to view more images, as well as link directly to the content in the native repository or collection.

The Summon Service

Used by more than 500 libraries in more than 40 countries, the Summon service is the first and only discovery service based on a unified index of content, leveraging its unique "match and merge" technology to combine rich metadata and full text from multiple sources to ultimately make items more discoverable. In just three years, the Summon unified index has grown from 200 million items to more than one billion items - with the vast majority of article and book content full-text searchable. Proven to increase usage of library resources, the Summon service consistently meets user expectations by delivering innovative new features for enhancing discovery.

New Interactive Website Tracks Economic Performance of all 50 States

California found to be an innovation leader, Texas an export leader, Mississippi tracks highest declines in poverty, North Dakota a GSP leader

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Curious about job growth in your state? GSP? How incomes in your state compare to those in other states? A new first of its kind website tracks each of these key economic indicators, and more, allowing users to track and compare dozens of economic trends over time in all 50 states. The nonprofit nonpartisan California-based organization Next 10 today launches Compare50.org, a new web tool that allows users to view, track and compare more than 60 economic indicators to dynamically compare economies of the 50 states, with a focus on the economy, innovation, jobs, and income and equity.

A sample of findings from the new web tool include:

    --  California's per capita real GSP growth was slightly higher than the
        U.S. as a whole from 1991-2011, with Oregon and North Dakota displaying
        the highest levels of growth in the nation over that time period.
    --  Comparing the total number of patents granted in California to Texas and
        New York, California comes out ahead with 30,750 patents in 2011, Texas
        with 8,045 and New York with 7,842.
    --  Looking at exports for the same three states as a percent of their GDP,
        Texas leads the pack at 19.18%, with California and New York slightly
        lagging the U.S. with exports at 9.88% of GDP, with 8.12% and 7.33%
        accordingly.
    --  Comparing California earnings with those in New York and Texas, New York
        state residents enjoy the highest median weekly earnings taking home
        $712 per week in 2011. California's median weekly earnings stood at $663
        in the same year, and Texas reported $600 in median weekly earnings.
    --  Looking long-term at changes in the poverty rate over 20 years,
        California's rate has grown by nearly 4 percentage points from
        1990-2011, while Mississippi's rate dropped by over 5.5 percentage
        points over the same time period. Rhode Island saw the highest increase
        in the country, tracking a 5.5 percentage point rise in poverty.
"State economic performance has a profound impact on how we live, and work, when we can retire and if we can afford to send our kids off to college. Our goal at Next 10 is to provide a tool that allows all Americans to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of their state economies," said F. Noel Perry, businessman and founder of the nonprofit nonpartisan Next 10.

Using the Compare50 tool, anyone can track wage growth, housing, Gross State Product (GSP), patents, venture capital funding, exports, weekly hours, the unemployment rate, duration of unemployment, layoff details, annual earnings, weekly earnings, income distribution measures, and poverty rate. Users can also look at demographics across states and compare indicators such as education levels, population, and age.

Compare50.org displays the most recent annual data through 2011 and will be updated in the coming months to include 2012 data. For many indicators, the website includes 20 years of data and users are able to view trends over this time period.

The website draws on data gathered and analyzed for a new Next 10 report authored by Dr. David Neumark and Jennifer Muz at the Center for Economics & Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine. The report, How Does California's Economic Performance Compare to Other States?, examines key economic indicators and trends in California. Top findings include:

    --  In 2011, California's overall economic performance (including economic
        growth, jobs, earnings, income distribution and poverty rate) tracks on
        par with most states.
    --  While California has seen significant recent drops in unemployment (2010
        to 2011), over the long-term (1991-2011) job growth in California has
        been sluggish, with a higher unemployment rate than most states.
    --  Over the last two decades, there has been real income growth for
        high-income families across the country and in California, but no
        significant growth at the middle of the income distribution and declines
        at the bottom. When compared to California, many states register larger
        income disparity increases (1991-2011).
    --  In California, GSP grows faster during good economic times, but drops
        more sharply during tougher economic times.
"Next 10 has a long-standing interest in understanding critical economic issues important to California's future, and in making those issues more accessible to all Californians," said Perry. "With our new Compare50 website, we're expanding beyond our state borders so that all Americans can have access to this important information."

Compare50.org has been launched as a highly interactive Beta website. In the months to follow, Next 10 hopes to receive feedback that can be used to guide the development of future iterations.

About Next 10

Next 10 is an independent, nonpartisan organization that educates, engaged and empowers Californians to improve the state's future. Next 10 is focused on innovation and the intersection between the economy, the environment, and quality of life issues for all Californians. Next 10 employs research from leading experts on complex state issues and creates a portfolio of nonpartisan educational materials to foster a deeper understanding of the critical issues affecting our state.

New Web-Based Appointment Tracking System PROminder Set to Improve Dentists' Customer Satisfaction and Retention

MNG Marketing's tracking system sends unobtrusive appointment reminders to patients via email and text

PLEASANTON, Calif., Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- It may not reduce patient's fear of the dentist chair, but it will give them one less excuse not to show up at all. MNG Marketing, the brains behind successful customer retention program MechanicNet, is introducing PROminder, a sophisticated, web-based appointment tracking system designed for the modern dentist office and their clientele.

PROminder promises a fresh solution to an age-old problem, simplifying the appointment process and improving the patient experience along the way. For the many dentist offices plagued by no-shows, PROminder could prove the key to an increase in both revenue and customer satisfaction. Given that the software and intuitive interface take minutes to learn and implement, dentist offices will know soon enough whether PROminder is truly the solution they've been looking for.

No-shows are a common and expensive problem in an industry where appointments are often made six months in advance. For the patient, missed appointments are inconvenient and irritating, forcing them to reschedule or, at worst, get charged a penalty for a service they never received. For the dentist, missed appointments add up to tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue each year, not including the potential revenue from diagnosis and treatment beyond a missed cleaning. For both sides, losing an appointment due to a simple communication breakdown is unacceptable.

Appointment reminders over the years have moved from the phone call that no one answers to the postcard that no one sees, neither a particularly effective or convenient solution. With PROminder, MNG Marketing takes advantage of today's technology to offer an online, interactive system that is expected to dramatically reduce no-shows and simplify scheduling both for the office and for the patient.

For the front office, PROminder tracks appointments, automatically sends email or text-message reminders on a preset schedule and receives confirmations. To address patient needs, each customizable, automated e-reminder includes embedded links to confirm or reschedule appointments on the fly.

"Studies show that most patients prefer that practices contact them via e-mail or text message. What's more, your office is far more likely to get a prompt response from patients if you contact them via e-mail and/or text message," (McKenzie, Sally. "Curbing Cancellations and No-Shows Begins Chairside." Dental Tribune. 18 Sept 2009). By making it as convenient as possible for busy patients to receive and respond to reminders, dentist offices can effectively eliminate unnecessary no-shows from their schedules.

With PROminder, there's no wasted paper, no wasted time on the phone, and no excuse for missing a dentist appointment. It's a greener, more modern, and more customer-centric solution to a very old problem.

Eutelsat Moves into New-generation In-flight Connectivity Services via KA-SAT

New Eutelsat Air Access service to be commercially available across Europe from mid-2013

PARIS, January 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) announces the launch of a new
aeronautical mobile service called Eutelsat Air Access designed to accelerate the
deployment by commercial airlines operating in Europe of in-flight connectivity for
passengers. Delivering speeds of up to 100 Mbps per airliner, Eutelsat Air Access will be
available from mid-2013.

    The new service uses ViaSat SurfBeam(R) 2 technology, the most advanced and
competitive system available for airborne connectivity using the Ka-band, and will be
deployed on Eutelsat's KA-SAT [http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/EUTELSAT-KA-SAT-9A.html
] high throughput satellite which delivers a total capacity of 90 Gbps. Leveraging the
high transmission speeds and bandwidth of KA-SAT, Eutelsat Air Access will allow
aeronautical service providers to offer passengers top-quality Internet access,
videostreaming and GSM services via tablets, smartphones and laptops. Eutelsat also has
the option to add further unique ViaSat networking features for management of high-speed
service levels to passengers. The service will be launched across Europe and the
Mediterranean Basin, with the objective to expand the service area using other Ka-band
satellites.

    Eutelsat is partnering on the deployment of Eutelsat Air Access with LiveTV, a leading
provider of live in-flight entertainment and connectivity services for commercial
airlines. LiveTV will provide, integrate and maintain on-board equipment and operate Wi-Fi
internet access services and video streaming for passengers. As a pioneer in the expanding
market for live in-flight entertainment and connectivity, LiveTV has already equipped more
than 700 aircraft around the world. Aer Lingus is the first carrier to seize the
opportunity of new-generation in-flight services. The Irish airline last month signed a
letter of intent with LiveTV and plans to launch in-cabin Internet access for customers on
its European network. The new service will be available on Aer Lingus short-haul fleet,
including Airbus A319/A320 and A321. The first flights with the service are planned in the
second half of 2013.

    Eutelsat's CEO, Michel de Rosen, commented on the launch of airborne services via
KA-SAT: "We believe that in-flight connectivity is a strong growth market and are ready
with the latest technology and strong partnerships to address this business. Over the next
10 years the number of aircraft offering in-cabin entertainment and connectivity services
via passenger devices should grow by more than 50% a year in Europe and the Middle East,
and more than 80% in Asia and the Pacific. Eutelsat has already gained experience in
aeronautical mobile services using Ku band satellites. With Eutelsat Air Access we are
moving into a new era to enable airlines to cost-effectively bring in-cabin connectivity
to their customers."

HGC Launches Hutch-Cloud Service on An International Scale

Milestone move positions HGC as a pioneer in On-demand Virtual Leased Line service delivered via the latest cloud computing technology

HONG KONG, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hutchison Global Communications Limited (HGC or the Company), the fixed-line operating division of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (stock code: 215) today announced launch of Hutch-Cloud - a cloud computing service between HGC clouds in Hong Kong and Los Angeles (LA). This milestone move marks the Company's entry to the nascent international cloud services market.

HGC Hutch-Cloud service

Leveraging HGC's network strength, multinational corporations and small-to-medium enterprises alike can now enjoy ubiquitous network access, thanks to availability of HGC's international Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Bandwidth-as-a-Service (BaaS) plus value-added cloud services such as Dedicated Bandwidth-as-a-Service (DBaaS) and On-demand Virtual Leased Line (ODVLL). All this extends secure connectivity into a customer's premises and positions HGC as one of the first telecoms operators in the world to offer ODVLL.

Andrew Kwok, HGC President of International and Carrier Business, said: "Our entry to the high-growth international cloud services market exemplifies continued expansion of our service portfolio. We are working to increase the number of HGC cloud sites in different regions and expanding the capacity of our cloud service, starting with the Asian and North American markets."

He added: "Our international business capability is gradually extending HGC's role as a leading ICT service provider and carrier's carrier into the exciting new era of IT-as-a-Service, through cloud computing. Both DBaaS and ODVLL are excellent examples of our innovative application of HGC's Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), as well as virtualisation and cloud computing technologies, to meet the dynamic needs of business customers today." 

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Bandwidth-as-a-Service (BaaS)

Hutch-Cloud, equipped with a webpage-based user administration portal, provides managed virtual computer infrastructure such as virtual machines, CPU cores, RAM and storage that enable customers to access the Internet without data usage limits. Basic services include IaaS and BaaS. A pay-as-you-go billing system and managed virtual connectivity enable businesses to turn formidable capital expenditure into more affordable and easier-to-manage operational expenditure.

Dedicated Bandwidth-as-a-Service (DBaaS) and On-demand Virtual Leased Line (ODVLL) Service

Hutch-Cloud also offers value-added connectivity services on-demand - DBaaS and ODVLL. DBaaS provides cloud-to-cloud connectivity running on HGC's VPLS network, which benefits from high network performance. DBaaS connects different cloud sites and forms an Ethernet network characterised by private and highly-secure data transmission.

ODVLL, a cloud network connectivity service, provides virtual on-demand point-to-point and secure data transmission from a customer's premises to HGC's inter-cloud platform. This is achieved via the local Internet and HGC's VPLS network to connect with another customer's premises. Data transmission is encrypted, so network security and diverse coverage become possible, as ODVLL is not bound by geography or limited to cloud-to-cloud transmission.

The fact that subscription to the above two services can be transacted via a web portal in hours rather than weeks -which has been the traditional implementation experience - means corporate customers enjoy fast provisioning of services and swift deployment of projects. In addition, the on-demand and non-contract-bound nature of these services allows users to scale managed virtual bandwidth up or down as required, giving rise to highly-beneficial flexibility and business agility in the event of a sudden surge, or fall, in data traffic.

For more details on Hutch-Cloud Service, please call our hotline on +852-2128-2349 or email ibmarketing@hgc-intl.com.

Mumbai-based Startup, Housing.co.in Transforms Real Estate as you Know it

MUMBAI, January 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Running apace with the trends in technology, Mumbai-based startup Housing.co.in
[http://housing.co.in ] has transformed the way people rent flats. In an age where buying
grocery and electronic items are just a few clicks away, it's bewildering that for renting
a flat, you still have to go door-to-door inspecting flats with your broker. By changing
the fundamental process of home search, housing has taken the innovative lead of bringing
houses to the users instead. How, you ask? Housing has its own team which is responsible
for data collection ensuring accuracy and authenticity of data. They visit every flat
listed on their website, geocode them, collect pictures and other relevant details before
uploading them to their website. Data collection service is provided free of cost to the
landlords, effectively ensuring that owners can upload their flats on the website for
free.

    With a large number of flats, accurate pictures and data at your disposal, all you
need to have now before beginning that dreaded house hunt are the comforts of coffee and
internet instead. Just start your search on the portal and begin applying filters to
refine it. Browse through photos, rent and other details of flats that match your
requirement and shortlist flats that you like. Knowledge of your neighborhood before you
move in is essential. India's first map-based real estate search portal, Housing.co.in
[http://housing.co.in ] also shows neighborhood information like nearby parks, schools,
restaurants, grocery stores, nightclubs and lot more for every flat on their website. Once
you zero-in on a flat, you might also want to check out the commute options for nearby
public transport services available.

    (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130124/589322-b)

    Recognizing the need of the day, Housing ensures that its customers truly enjoy the
freedom of choice. Having provided numerous photographs for each flat, it goes a step
ahead. Special filters on the website enable users to locate their dream house near places
highly suited to them - be it their favorite coffee joint, mall, nightclub, or more
importantly, their office or their kids' school. Neighborhood information and commute
details further enrich the experience of selecting the ideal house.

    For tenants specifically interested in added features, Housing provides a list of them
to choose from - a gym, a swimming pool, a gas pipeline, and so on - thus making itself
the perfect real estate search guide one can employ. Briskly moving ahead with its goal of
transforming the search for a warm home, Housing, along with a mobile website has also
come up with Android and iOS apps which give users the power to hunt for a house on the
go.

    The other end of the Indian real estate spectrum covers classified websites that
connect tenants/buyers with brokers. But, Housing.co.in sets itself apart, by helping
people find flats, not brokers. And if you're looking for flats without brokers in Mumbai,
Housing.co.in [http://housing.co.in ] presents a large number of flats directly held by
owners to choose from. Just select the 'Owner' checkbox in 'Listings from' filter and
you're good to go. The entire database of flats sits right there on the website, waiting
to be unleashed through a few clicks. And one wouldn't need to shuffle through a maze of
options with the ones already leased out still clogging the screen; Housing's proprietary
Listing Decay algorithm does away with them, ensuring only fresh listings greet the users.

    Led by a team from IIT Bombay, Housing has already managed a good pat-on-the-back from
its initial users, associated brokers and property owners.

    About Housing.co.in

    India's first map-based real estate search portal, Housing.co.in is innovating real
estate in India. With an approach rooted in technology and accurate data, Housing has
taken a route less travelled in Indian real estate industry.
