Poudre School District Selects Edupoint's Synergy Student Information System

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Edupoint(TM) Educational Systems, a leading student information system (SIS) solutions provider to the national K-12 market, has been selected by Poudre School District to implement its Synergy® SIS solution. The centralized web-based system will connect the district's schools and administration facilities to serve students, their parents, teachers, and district staff. After a comprehensive review of leading SIS solutions, the district selected Edupoint based on the robust features and benefits of the integrated Synergy solution and the company's well-regarded support services.

Poudre School District provides K-12 public education for the region surrounding Fort Collins, Colorado. It is a growing area with more than 27,000 students enrolled in 52 campuses. To meet increasing user demands and reporting requirements over the years, the district had enhanced their existing SIS system in-house to the point that it had become too difficult and costly to support. Rather than continue that investment, the district issued an RFP and undertook a formal review of replacement systems. The review process included detailed analysis of leading SIS solutions and two rounds of product demonstrations attended by representatives of the district's diverse user groups. Edupoint and the Synergy SIS solution were determined to best meet the District's defined requirements.

"Our users had tough questions, but Edupoint answered all of them," said Don Begin, Poudre Director of Information Technology. "In the end, the district chose the Synergy system for its flexibility - we believe our requirements will grow and change in the future, and the architecture of the Synergy system fully supports rapid application development. Its integration of the SIS module with the electronic Gradebook, which are two separate solutions in our current system, will improve classroom performance and enhance communications with students and parents."

"We're excited to add Poudre School District - our second Colorado client - to the Edupoint family," said Rob Wilson, President and COO of Edupoint. "The Synergy Education Platform is an ideal solution for growing school districts in this era of constantly changing regulatory requirements and demand for improved student outcomes. Synergy lets a district meet today's requirements with tools to better manage students and integrate parents into the entire educational process, while it provides a powerful development and enterprise integration platform for the future. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Poudre."

The Poudre School District has begun implementation of the Synergy system, and all district facilities will be live on the system in time for the start of the 2013/2014 term. 

About Edupoint Educational Systems:

For thirty years, the leadership of Edupoint Educational Systems, LLC, has set the standard for K?12 student information management systems. Our innovative solutions have been used by thousands of schools to manage millions of students. Today, the company empowers a new era of self?sufficient school districts with Synergy Education Platform, an extensible, scalable, rapid application development platform that supports our integrated solutions, including the Synergy Student Information System, an enterprise level student information system, and Synergy Special Education, a comprehensive special education management system, as well as our client districts' application development and integration initiatives.

Input From The Green Grid Helps Global Taskforce For Data Center Efficiency Harmonize Protocols For Performance Metrics

Global Leaders from Government, Industry and Non-profit Sector Reach Agreement on Measurement Protocols for Three Metrics to Address Data Center Efficiency

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Green Grid, the global authority on resource efficient information technology and data centers, and a global taskforce created to harmonize metrics and measurement protocols for key energy efficiency metrics, today announced agreement on measurement guidelines and next steps for three new efficiency metrics. The taskforce reached consensus on the use of the Green Energy Coefficient (GEC), Energy Reuse Factor (ERF) and Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) metrics. Details of their conclusions and recommendations for use of each metric are available in a memo titled Harmonizing Global Metrics for Data Center Energy Efficiency.

In February 2011, the taskforce reached agreement on specific measurement protocols for the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric, developed by The Green Grid. Made up of the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Manufacturing Office and Federal Energy Management Programs; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR Program; the European Commission Joint Research Center Data Centers Code of Conduct, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; Japan's Green IT Promotion Council; and The Green Grid, the taskforce intends to continue collaboration as an ongoing effort to improve data center energy and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission efficiencies.

The three new metrics were selected through discussion, exercise and trial among the taskforce participants. The memo provides a framework for users to approach the metrics holistically, ensuring data center owners and operators can consistently assess and improve the performance of their mission critical facilities using energy efficiency metrics.

"We want to make it as easy as possible for the data center community to understand and embrace these metrics, and how they can work together," said Joyce Dickerson, Board Member, The Green Grid. "When implemented correctly, they can save organizations a lot of time, money, and additional resources. Although there is more work to do, we think this will bring us one step closer to a universally adopted set of metrics, indices, and measurement protocols that will have a positive impact on the industry."

The metrics and their purposes include:

    --  Green Energy Coefficient - GEC quantifies the portion of a facility's
        energy that comes from green sources. The metric is computed as green
        energy consumed by the data center (kWh) divided by total energy
        consumed by the data center (kWh).
    --  Energy Reuse Factor - ERF identifies the portion of energy that is
        exported for reuse outside of the data center. ERF is computed as reuse
        energy divided by total energy consumed by the data center.
    --  Carbon Usage Effectiveness - CUE enables an assessment of the total GHG
        emissions of a data center relative to its IT energy consumption. CUE is
        computed as the total carbon dioxide emission equivalents (CO(2)eq) from
        the energy consumption of the facility divided by the total IT energy
        consumption.
The memo and resulting agreements complete the second desired outcome of the taskforce and outline the two remaining deliverables for the group: Desired Outcome (1) Agree on effective energy efficiency metrics that measure actual IT work output of a data center compared to actual energy consumption and Desired Outcome (1.a) Measure the potential IT work output compared to expected energy consumption; and measure operational utilization of IT Equipment.  The group convenes regularly with representatives from each organization meeting in person every six to 12 months.

Combined technology and teams expected to help accelerate market availability of comprehensive Operator CDN products

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and WESTFORD, Mass., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM) and Verivue announced today that the two companies have signed a definitive agreement for Akamai to acquire Verivue in a cash transaction.  The acquisition is expected to complement Akamai's Aura Network Solutions and accelerate Akamai's time to market in providing a comprehensive, licensed content delivery network (CDN) solution for network operators.

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

According to market research firm IDC, network operators worldwide are looking at ways to leverage on-net CDNs to improve the performance of their own digital cable and IPTV premium services and extend their managed multiscreen offerings.  Operators can position their on-net CDNs and other network resources as optimized on-ramps that content publishers, OTT content aggregators, application developers, and set-top box vendors can use to reach a critical mass of potential viewers and provide a better end-to-end experience for their end users.(1)

"Verivue has done an impressive job of building a licensed content delivery infrastructure and getting it deployed with several important operators," said Mick Scully, Vice President and General Manager of Akamai's Carrier Products Division.  "We believe that Verivue's technology will complement our roadmap for creating a comprehensive Operator CDN solution.  Akamai has relationships with hundreds of network operators, and we offer them instant federation with our global Intelligent Platform.  We believe joining forces with Verivue will allow us to help operators maximize content revenues and network efficiencies as the flood of media and video traffic increases."

"Together with Akamai, we believe we will be able to offer the industry's most powerful, extensible and fully integrated Operator CDN platform," said James Dolce, CEO of Verivue. "This is an exciting step for our two companies. Operators are looking for services to drive revenue, such as advanced cloud capabilities or by providing licensed content to users on a variety of IP-connected devices.  By combining our teams, we believe we can help meet this immediate market opportunity."

Founded in 2006, Verivue has approximately 60 employees. The closing of the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to occur by the end of 2012.

About Verivue
Headquartered in Westford, MA, Verivue, Inc. develops and markets high-performance IP platforms that enable network operators to distribute, deliver and control enormous amounts of IP-based media traffic across a growing and diverse number of end devices.  The Company offers solutions for service providers to accelerate content delivery for managed and unmanaged service provider networks.

The release contains information about future expectations, plans and prospects of Akamai's management that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about expected benefits to Akamai from the acquisition. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors including, but not limited to, failure of the parties to consummate the transaction, inability to successfully integrate the technology of Verivue or to develop products based on the technology, absence of market demand for Akamai's operator CDN solutions, failure of the markets addressed by Akamai's solution to develop as expected  and other factors that are discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents periodically filed with the SEC.

MADRID, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced plans to deliver six new SAP® mobile apps for Windows 8, bringing new innovations for SAP customers. SAP also announced forthcoming support for Windows 8 development on the leading SAP® Mobile Platform(1) as well as security enhancements to the SAP® Afaria® mobile device management solution. Through these apps, platform support and security enhancements, SAP plans to extend business processes to Windows 8 to accelerate a business' ability to run better with devices of various form factors. The announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® NOW + SAP® TechEd, being held as a co-located event in Madrid from Nov. 13-16.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO)

SAP Mobile Apps for Windows 8
SAP plans to offer six business apps for Windows 8 for use on devices of various form factors focused on enterprise functions such as training, recruiting and sales. All six of these mobile apps are planned to be available for download in both the Windows Store and SAP® Store. These mobile apps include:

    --  SAP® WorkDeck, developed first for Windows 8, is a new persona-centric
        app that offers contextual integration of various information sources
        and processes into a role-based view. SAP WorkDeck allows employees to
        initiate new requests, oversee upcoming events and monitor the progress,
        as well as enables managers to react and process workflows on-the-go,
        such as travel, leave and purchasing requests.
    --  SAP® Manager Insight is an employee profile app that provides managers
        with access to key indicators, such as diversity, headcount, employee
        talent by location, as well as employee profiles, to drive collaborative
        and informed human resources (HR) decision-making.
    --  SAP® Learning Assistant is a training app that gives on-the-go workers
        tag-along teachers. It makes on-demand, online training available
        anytime, anywhere so workers can access required classes to address
        compliance and job requirements.
    --  SAP® Interview Assistant is a recruiting app that eases the cumbersome
        task of arranging interviews. It also helps managers review candidate
        information, prepare notes, record results, and provide immediate
        feedback to HR.
    --  SAP® Customer Financial Fact Sheet is a customer profile app for
        account executives to access financial data, invoices and critical sales
        orders in real time.
    --  SAP® GRC Policy Survey is a policy app for employees to review and
        acknowledge relevant policy changes and fill in surveys to ensure they
        understand the policies.
"We look forward to our ongoing collaboration with SAP, to create great new apps that our customers can use to address business needs and uncover new opportunities," said Erwin Visser, senior director, Windows Commercial, Microsoft Corp. "We are very pleased with the commitment of SAP to Windows 8; the apps that SAP is developing for Windows 8 take advantage of the beautiful new Windows user interface and will help our customers be even more mobile, secure, productive and efficient."

These apps aim to take advantage of the touch capability and features of the new Windows user interface, such as zoom, tiles and Snap mode, enabling users to easily interact with SAP data. All SAP mobile apps for Windows 8 are planned to include a trial mode to allow customers to be able to download the apps from the Windows Store and evaluate them before purchasing.

"SAP continues to build on its tradition of delivering innovation to its enterprise customer base, in this case, providing the foundation for mobile computing," said Sanjay Poonen, president and head of Mobile Division, SAP. "SAP takes advantage of the current install base and customer relationships to transform enterprises to a mobile-centric computing model. We look forward to helping our customers fully leverage Windows 8 and bringing new business and consumer apps to the industry that take full advantage of the new Windows user interface."

SAP Mobile Platform for Apps for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8
SAP Mobile Platform is planned to support the creation and deployment of mobile apps for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. SAP intends to enable the large community of Microsoft developers to quickly create apps (HTML5 and JavaScript) using Visual Studio, as well as enable developers to access SAP Mobile Platform services for enhanced security and authentication, user/device/app provisioning and push notification to help ensure a consistent user experience across devices of different form factors on a single platform. To make app development of security-enhanced apps even simpler, SAP announced plans to release a library for login and authentication for Windows 8, which aims to allow developers to enable multiple incorporation options in their apps. By connecting to SAP Mobile Platform, apps are planned to be able to access SAP and non-SAP apps and data while helping deliver enterprise-grade enhanced security, policy and access management as well as app life-cycle management. The mobile platform is intended to provide a high-availability infrastructure for apps, helping ensure knowledge workers can stay productive virtually anytime, anywhere. SAP also plans to enable partners to begin to develop apps for Windows 8. A free trial of SAP Mobile Platform for developers is available on SAP® Community Network here.

Enhancing Enterprise Security Through SAP Afaria
Customers can help secure their mobile environment to help protect Windows 8 devices, content and apps using one of the industry's mobile device management leaders, SAP Afaria(2), which is available for Windows 8 today. SAP Afaria is also now certified to fully support Intel-based tablets featuring Windows 8.

"Having SAP Afaria available for Windows 8-based devices with Intel® Atom(TM) and Core(TM) processors greatly expands mobile device choice," said Rick Echevarria, vice president and general manager, Business Client Platform Division, Intel. "It also helps improve the overall effectiveness of customers' enterprise mobile solutions by increasing content and enhanced application security."

SAP also announced plans to develop apps for Windows RT and Windows Phone 8.

Product Name Changes
Sybase® Unwired Platform is now called SAP Mobile Platform and Afaria is now known as SAP Afaria.

ST-PREX, Switzerland, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Fischer Connectors [http://www.fischerconnectors.com ] releases its new push-pull
FiberOptic interconnecting solution specially designed for premium optical performance in

typical advantage of a push-pull solution: quick, safe and easy locking.

    'The new push-pull Fischer FiberOptic connector provides the perfect mix of features
needed by a reliable FiberOptic inter-connecting solution: premium optical performance and
robustness, blind mating and easy maintenance. This is definitely a benefit for the users

Pelamis Wave Power Selects Pulsant to Safeguard Vital Data in the Cloud

READING, England, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Custom built cloud & connectivity solution frees Pelamis engineers to focus on
developing renewable energy technology

    Cloud, connectivity and hosting provider, Pulsant, is supporting Pelamis Wave Power by
helping to manage, backup and store data vital to the development of its world-leading
wave energy technology.

    With operations in Edinburgh and Orkney supporting two Pelamis wave machines being
demonstrated at the European Marine Energy Centre off the coast of Orkney, Pelamis Wave
Power uses a remote control and monitoring system in order to assess live machine
performance and adapt control algorithms to maximise electricity generation.

    Protecting this critical information presents numerous challenges, including
connecting and moving high volumes of data from isolated locations with restricted
infrastructure and bandwidth.

    To overcome this, Pulsant has provided a managed off-site backup solution that
addresses the different needs and constraints for the protection of critical data at each
of the Pelamis offices. This hybrid solution includes daily backup of servers, cloud based
data processing and live mirroring - backup of proprietary business systems. Pulsant
provided the necessary expertise and support at each stage to deliver the project from
design to rollout.

    Outlining the benefits, Charles Taylor, Structural Engineering Manager at Pelamis Wave
Power, explains, "With Pulsant's system we have eliminated many of the manual processes
involved in managing this complex flow of data. At the same time the automatic backup and
data mirroring is ensuring our data integrity and system continuity. This frees up our
teams to focus on what they do best - developing the technology to create energy from
waves. By providing flexible and robust managed systems, Pulsant is enabling us to deliver
the results crucial to our technical and commercial success."

    Taylor confirms, "Using its cloud managed backup, Pulsant has not only saved us time
but also reduced spending on expensive hardware replacement costs, helping us to keep our
capital expenditure low. The system is also scalable, so can be easily adapted as our
operations begin to deliver commercially available sustainable energy. With Pulsant we are
confident we have found a long-term IT partner with the resource, breadth of solutions and
service delivery to help us evolve and grow."

    Mark Howling CEO of Pulsant states, "As a 'Green Grid' member, Pulsant is committed to
running 100% of its UK data centres from renewable energy sources. We are delighted to be
working with Pelamis to help them develop this new source of clean, reliable energy. By
freeing their resources, we hope we can help them to accelerate development and fast track
wave power as a viable energy source for the UK and elsewhere."

MoD launches GEMS Online -- a new cloud service for employee suggestions

LONDON, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has launched GEMS Online, a new digital Staff Engagement and Innovation system online employee suggestion scheme that is based on K2 blackpearl and hosted on the G-Cloud infrastructure. GEMS Online has been designed to enable MoD and Armed Forces personnel to make suggestions to help the MoD transform and will enable the MoD to rapidly access and act upon the innovation and experience of its own staff. 

Each suggestion is tracked by the system, ensuring that every idea is submitted through a predictable process and evaluated on merit. Identified savings are calculated as part of the evaluation process and measured, allowing the MoD to report and analyse all suggestions submitted.

The GEMS Online application breaks new ground for the MoD. Using G-Cloud, the MoD has worked with Skyscape and K2 to rapidly define, design, accredit, implement and test the GEMS application. From inception to production, the system has been delivered in less than 6 months, laying the foundation for agile delivery of business applications within the MoD.

K2 blackpearl, an award-winning BPM and workflow product, was selected by the MoD in 2006 to deliver enterprise workflow services to the desktop.  Based on the Microsoft platform, K2 blackpearl will deliver core workflow services to the Defence Information Infrastructure and is scheduled for rollout in 2014.

"Extending the use of K2 into G-Cloud-based scenarios is an exciting step for us to take," comments Dennis Parker, Managing Director of K2 in the UK. "It has become abundantly clear to us that entrenched high-cost delivery models inherent to delivering applications with the defence landscape have changed. GEMS showcases that this is a reality. It has been refreshing to work the CIO group within MoD, who have been responsible for guiding this pilot project through the necessary stages to make this project a reality."

For more information on the GEMS project contact Stuart Laws, Transformation ? Behaviours &Business Improvement - Ideas Management, MoD Main Building, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2HB. Tel 020 7218 4952. For more information on K2, go to http://www.k2.com.

Agnitio Sets Up Asia HQ in Shanghai and is the First to Bring the Combined Closed Loops of Marketing and E-Learning to the Pharmaceutical Industry

COPENHAGEN, Denmark and SHANGHAI, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

       
        - The double closed loop of marketing and e-Learning is brought to pharma
          for the first time through a partnership between Agnitio and Actando
        - Leading closed loop marketing technology company for the healthcare industry
          expands its global presence with Shanghai HQ

    Agnitio, a leader in healthcare sector closed-loop marketing technology, continues to
expand its global presence with the opening of regional headquarters in Shanghai and a
partnership with mobile learning solutions company Actando.

    Located at 711, Bld. 2, Shanghai Technology Innovation Center, 100 Qin Zhou Road,
Shanghai 200235, Agnitio is led in country by Zhu Yi, Head of Implementation and Support,
Agnitio Greater China. With Bayer and Roche already clients in the region, Agnitio expects
to increase its number of customers with the heightened presence and its integrated
offering with Actando, which is initially aimed at the Asian market.

    The partnership with Actando will harmonise e-Learning and closed loop marketing
through Agnitio's platform for the iPad. During a discussion with the rep, a doctor will
be able to actively choose the information they really want to receive and are
specifically interested in. With their limited time, doctors no longer need to sit through
a long, general presentation. Instead they have a personalised conversation with the rep,
delivering greater value in a far shorter period.

    While the rep is talking to the doctor, their training needs and performance will now
be simultaneously captured, thanks to the partnership with Actando, and transmitted to
their managers. The solution will then suggest a tailored learning programme that will be
downloaded to the reps' iPads for offline use, allowing their managers to monitor their
improvement during subsequent calls.

    "An office in Shanghai and our partnership with Actando is a serious commitment to the
region's pharmaceutical market," says Morten Hjelmsoe, Founder and CEO of Agnitio. "Our
leading CLM platform, when married with Actando's best-in-class mobile learning solutions,
brings together a double closed loop for the first time in the healthcare industry."

    "You get the best of both worlds with this partnership," says Alexandre Dauge, Founder
& Managing Partner of Actando. "The Agnitio platform enables a rich and meaningful
dialogue between reps and doctors which produces data that can be captured and integrated
to see how effective they've been and whether the strategy was followed. Adding Actando's
mobile learning solutions takes it a step further by recommending and providing the
learning programmes based on their performance. Ultimately, this will make customer visits
for both the representatives and doctors more relevant and engaging."

    Agnitio's move into China comes shortly after the strengthening of its regional
headquarters in the U.S. Although being used first in China, the combined offering from
Agnitio and Actando will be rolled out globally.

    A free seminar around the new offering, explaining how to enhance reps' effectiveness
and generate the best possible interaction with doctors and other healthcare
professionals, is being hosted by Agnitio in Shanghai on November 21. Running from 09.30
to 11.00 at Swissôtel, 1 Yu Yuan Road, Jing An District, Shanghai 200040, China,
interested parties should register no later than November 19 with Zhu Yi, Agnitio's Head
of Implementation and Support in AsiaPac: zhu@agnitio.com

    About Agnitio

    Agnitio helps pharmaceutical and medical device companies generate effective
relationships with medical professionals. The provider of the leading pull marketing
software platform for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, Agnitio's system
is already implemented in more than 45 countries and 25 languages - and used by major
pharmaceutical and medical device companies including: GSK, MSD, Novartis, Roche and
Bayer.

EasyAsk Teams With SAP HANA To Deliver Quiri For SAP CRM, The World's First Siri-Like Mobile Solution For CRM

EasyAsk Quiri For SAP CRM On SAP HANA Delivers Dramatic Productivity For Mobile Sales And Service Professionals

MADRID and BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- EasyAsk, the natural language technology and solutions leader, today announced at the SAP SAPPHIRE NOW Conference the release of Quiri for SAP CRM, to enable increased productivity among mobile sales and service professionals. Mobile employees will now be able to interact with their CRM data on smartphones and tablets, using a Siri-like interface.

EasyAsk Quiri is so simple to use, it provides the optimal mobile experience, making workers more productive and putting the right information in their hands anytime, anywhere. Quiri represents a paradigm shift in smartphone usability: one push of a button delivers accurate answers to business questions. Using built-in speech recognition, Quiri's natural language technology allows users to conveniently speak their business questions into their mobile devices, and receive highly accurate answers in an instant.

"The premise behind Quiri is to significantly increase adoption of CRM by mobile field sales forces that today don't benefit from CRM solutions.  Most are cumbersome, at best, in their deployment on a smartphone. Guiding, navigating, inputting data is frustrating on a 3 by 2 inch screen. Quiri works similar to Siri, but is optimized for your CRM system and far more accurate," said Craig Bassin, CEO of EasyAsk.

For a video demonstration of EasyAsk Quiri for sales, click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFop1jU7a_g.

SAP HANA is an in-memory real-time data platform that is transforming the way companies run their businesses and develop applications. It is a unified platform for delivering real-time operational, predictive and text analytics on "big data" as well as for running both transactional and analytical processes on the same foundation.

"Implementing on SAP HAHA dramatically increases the wide array of questions Quiri can answer and the response time, and significantly reduces development time, as well as data storage, administration and maintenance costs by eliminating duplication. Candidly we were blown away by the benefits we experienced deploying on HANA," said Bassin.

EasyAsk is one of the first partners to sign an OEM agreement with SAP to deliver Quiri for SAP HANA on the SAP HANA Cloud, which leverages Amazon Web Services. Customers will be able to buy EasyAsk Quiri for SAP HANA as an on-premise solution or in the HANA One cloud.

EasyAsk Quiri for SAP CRM received the Most Innovative Solution award at the SAP Startup Forum in August. This week, EasyAsk will be attending the SAP SAPPHIRE NOW Conference in Madrid, Spain.

SAP Accelerates Innovation in the World's Largest Business Network

1 Million Connected Companies Gain New Levels of Productivity, Agility, Insight on the Ariba Network

MADRID, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today unveiled plans to infuse SAP innovations into the world's most powerful business network. Through the recent combination of SAP and Ariba, an SAP company, close to 1 million companies are now connected to the Ariba Network -- more than any other trading network. As a result, enterprises are collaborating in new ways that help drive unprecedented levels of productivity in their sales, procurement, invoice and payment processes. The introduction of SAP innovations in social, mobile, cloud and the in-memory technology of the SAP HANA® platform will drive global business-to-business collaboration and even higher levels of efficiency and insights through the business network. The announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® NOW + SAP® TechEd, being held as a co-located event in Madrid from November 13-16.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO)

SAP today also announced several rapid-deployment solutions, to make it fast and simple for customer running SAP® Business Suite software to rapidly integrate with the Ariba Network and reap the benefits that it provides:

    --  Product catalog integration between SAP Business Suite, including
        logistics materials management and supplier relationship management, and
        the Ariba Network, based on SAP NetWeaver® Process Orchestration
        software
    --  Purchase order and invoice automation for automated exchange of
        documents in the procure-to-pay and order-to-cash processes
"Online social networks tools have transformed our personal relationships by connecting us to people and information in new ways," said SAP Co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe. "We are enabling businesses of all sizes to do the same. With 1 million companies connected, SAP and Ariba have created the largest business network in the world. Together we will deliver game-changing gains in productivity, collaboration and agility across the entire value chain of suppliers, partners and customers."

Removing Business Boundaries
Through the acquisition of Ariba, SAP has created a new operating model for business, which effectively eliminates the boundaries between individual companies. Enterprises can now work in a fully-networked environment to more efficiently discover, connect and collaborate with their customers, suppliers and other partners. In addition, new processes and community-based insights are enabled that can drive unprecedented levels of productivity across more geographies and lines of business. Using the Ariba Network, companies today can:

    --  Receive active leads from a global community of qualified buyers rather
        than simply tracking them
    --  Manage orders and statuses in real time rather than chasing paper
    --  Accelerate payments for goods and services and optimize cash by making
        early payments
    --  Gain new community-based intelligence and insights to make more informed
        decisions
Buyers Benefit: Finding the Right Fit, Faster
PPG, a leading coatings and specialty products company, is a prime example of a large enterprise currently using Ariba Discovery, the premier service for matching buyers and sellers globally delivered via the Ariba Network. The US$15 billion company is able to quickly expand its pool of sellers beyond local boundaries, gain unique qualifying information from network-based transactional history and member-generated performance ratings and increase competition in their sourcing events worldwide.

"With other channels, it used to take us considerable time to assess the quality of sellers - and we weren't even sure of their quality," said Dan Wolfred, senior manager, Process & Technology, PPG Industries. "Ariba Discovery efficiently manages the new seller identification process and we use it on a global basis because of its extensive reach. It saves our buyers significant time finding new sellers."

Suppliers Benefit: Lighting-Fast Time to Cash, Higher Productivity
In addition to getting access to new business opportunities with the world's largest community of Global 2000 buying organizations, sellers gain new levels of process efficiency and transparency. Ariba Network user have reported 50 percent faster transaction processing cycles, 60 percent improvements in order accuracy, double-digit increases in revenues with existing and new customers on the network and 20 percent faster payment. The Ariba Network also offers new types of collaboration and insights only available in a networked model.

For example, using the dynamic discounting tools delivered on the network, buyers can accelerate payments for approved invoices to key suppliers in return for discounts, earning an immediate return on their cash. Sellers can gain increased visibility into future cash flows, certainty in payment timing and the ability to use cash sooner.

    --  Chicago-based Mediafly is a trusted provider for the Fortune 1000,
        bridging the gap between compelling sales and marketing content and the
        wide range of mobile and smart devices. The company took advantage of
        the discounting tools with one of its customers and was paid in 14 days
        instead of 90.
    --  MarkMaster is a Tampa-based company that provides name badges,
        nameplates, rubber stamps, signs, banners and decals to Fortune 500
        companies. It has grown revenue more than 300 percent using Ariba
        Discovery.
Road Map: Making the Impossible Possible - and Simple
With the planned infusion of analytics from SAP and SAP HANA support for the Ariba Network, SAP and Ariba intend to enable companies to harness the power of the more than 15 years of transactional, relationship and member-contributed content on the Ariba Network to make more informed buying, sales and financial decisions. Companies, for instance, are intended to be able to access market data, supplier information, transaction history and contract terms in real time and analyze this information through a single, beautiful interface from anywhere, at any time, using any device.

"The connectivity of the Internet is fueling a new kind of hyper-connected company that is connecting with its employees, customers, partners and suppliers and leveraging those connections as a community to solve important business problems," said Michael Fauscette, group vice president, Software Business Solutions, IDC. "By blending social, mobile and collaborative business applications, providers like SAP are fast moving into this new territory to drive the next level of productivity and customer innovation."

Good Technology and BoxTone Partner to Create Industry's First Complete Enterprise Mobility Management Solution

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and COLUMBIA, Md., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology(TM), the leader in secure enterprise mobility, and BoxTone®, the innovator of automated Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), announced a strategic partnership to deliver the industry's only complete EMM solution today, and innovate new critical mobile device and application management capabilities to meet the rapidly-evolving needs of IT and lines of business leaders.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120125/AQ41496LOGO-b)

IT organizations now recognize that standalone mobile device management ("MDM") simply does not meet the demands of a fully-mobilized enterprise. In response, commodity MDM vendors are scrambling to bolt-on new mobile app security, containerization and perhaps service management features - core capabilities that Good and BoxTone have made industry standards for years. Thousands of organizations worldwide, including half of the FORTUNE 100, trust Good Technology and BoxTone to safely, efficiently and reliably scale their mobile enterprises.   

In fact, in recognition of the growing need enterprises have to manage both mobile devices and mobile applications, IDC has decided to merge two previously distinct markets --mobile device management enterprise software and mobile application management software -- into a new market called mobile enterprise management (MEM) software[1]. According to Nick McQuire, IDC Research Director, Mobile Enterprise Strategies, "More and more companies are recognizing that they need to take a strategic approach to enterprise mobility, moving beyond standalone MDM or MAM to an integrated solution. A deeper relationship between Good Technology and BoxTone will certainly help customers take a more comprehensive and analytical approach to managing and securing their mobile lifecycle across users, devices, applications and platforms."

Now these two mobile enterprise veterans are partnering to deliver the four critical capabilities of the mobile lifecycle: mobile security, mobile device and application management, mobile analytics and mobile service management. Through this complete EMM solution, enterprises and government agencies worldwide can confidently transition to mobile-first organizations to increase employee productivity, improve customer service and create new sources of revenue.

"Mobile enterprise environments are increasingly complex with a diverse mix of BYO and company-owned smartphones and tablets, multiple mobile OS platforms, and more business and productivity apps than ever before.  Companies looking to harness the full power of mobility to boost employee productivity, increase competitiveness, and better serve their customers need a secure, reliable, and easy to use platform to manage the entire mobile lifecycle - across all users, apps and devices," said John Herrema, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy, Good Technology. "We're excited to work with BoxTone to provide the enterprise marketplace with comprehensive service management, sophisticated analytics, and unified reporting so they can enhance the health, ROI, and compliance of their mobility deployments."

Good Technology and BoxTone already enable enterprises to get more from their EMM investments by providing full visibility and control over enterprise mobile ecosystems. Bringing together the mobile app and data security technology found in Good Dynamics® and Good for Enterprise(TM) with BoxTone's mobile device, analytics and service management capabilities, global organizations now have a unified platform to efficiently secure, manage  and monitor enterprise  iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry smartphones and tablets and the apps that run on them. The strategic partnership will provide Good Technology customers with access to BoxTone's advanced mobile device management, mobile application management and mobile service management capabilities.

"Today's leading companies are realizing that enterprise mobility isn't just about connecting and configuring devices, or securing email alone. Rather, mobilizing their businesses and workforces requires a three-pronged approach: a technology solution that secures the device, apps, and data; a platform to deliver secure enterprise apps; and a full-lifecycle EMM platform to manage, monitor and support all users, apps and devices," said Brian C. Reed, Chief Marketing and Product Officer, BoxTone. "With more than a hundred joint customers already, our strategic partnership with Good will help more companies remove the barriers to mobilizing their enterprise safely, efficiently and reliably, laying the foundation for long-term mobile success."

C12G Launches OpenNebulaPro 3.8 and OpenNebulaApps Suite for Enterprise Private Clouds

MADRID, Spain, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    C12G Labs announces a new release of OpenNebulaPro, the enterprise edition of its
widely-deployed open-source management solution for enterprise data center virtualization
and private cloud computing. OpenNebulaPro integrates the most recent stable version of
OpenNebula (3.8) with bugfixes, performance, and scalability patches developed by the
community and by C12G for its customers and partners. OpenNebula 3.8 (codename Twin Jet),
released one month ago, enhances its AWS and OCCI API implementations and provides a
tighter integration with VMware and KVM.

    C12G also announces the first stable release of the OpenNebulaApps, a suite of tools
for users and administrators of OpenNebula to simplify and optimize cloud application
management. OpenNebulaApps provides a service management layer on top of OpenNebula by
configuring the software stack in the applications, managing multi-tiered applications,
providing configurable services from a catalog, and building your own private market to
distribute applications across several OpenNebula instances. Cloud applications consist of
complex software stacks, OpenNebulaApps helps to manage their life-cycle and contributes
to significantly reduce the time needed to build, distribute, and deploy cloud
applications.

    According to C12G's latest Cloud Architecture Survey, the majority of OpenNebula
deployments, 43 percent, are in business accounts compared to 17 percent in research, and
less than 10 percent in academia. Moreover most of the surveyed organizations are using
their OpenNebula cloud for running production workloads. OpenNebulaPro provides these
corporations, research centers and governments with a hardened, certified, long-term
supported cloud platform. Compared to OpenNebula, the expert production and integration
support of OpenNebulaPro and its higher stability increase IT productivity, speed time to
deployment, and reduce business and technical risks.
