TailoredMail Introduces EmailApptimizer: Turns Email Marketing Campaigns into Instant Mobile Touch-Screen Applications

TailoredMail Introduces EmailApptimizer: Turns Email Marketing Campaigns into Instant Mobile Touch-Screen Applications
EmailApptimizer is the first true email marketing and lead automation solution that increases user-engagement on mobile devices by up to 50 percent.
BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TailoredMail, the leader in mobile-optimized email marketing and lead-automation, today announced its new Version 6.0 with EmailApptimizer, an offering which turns emails, landing pages and microsites into instant mobile touch-screen applications. The solution dramatically improves engagement-rates by up to 50 percent, with virtually no additional effort on the marketer's part.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tailoredmail-introduces-emailapptimizer-turns-email-marketing-campaigns-into-instant-mobile-touch-screen-applications-175352851.html
With smartphone and tablet purchases exploding, consumers are reading more of their emails on these devices. In a study of more than 150 million emails over a 12-month period, TailoredMail found the percent of emails being viewed on a mobile device represented 39 percent of the total - almost double that of a year ago. However, mobile click-through rates represented only 12 percent of total - primarily due to poorly-designed/rendered emails and landing pages.
Marketers typically design email marketing campaigns for a desktop environment - however, these non-mobile friendly emails simply aren't readable on a smartphone - and are frequently ignored. Additionally, links in the email often direct the recipient to a non-mobile-ready web page. The reality is this - the vast majority of businesses do not yet have a mobile-friendly company website or marketing landing-pages to support these campaigns, and internal know-how and expertise are hard to find.
EmailApptimizer solves this by taking content designed for the desktop, and automatically converting it to an instant touch-screen mobile application - complete with detailed tracking analytics. It also provides the ability to create stand-alone mobile micro-sites, or entire company websites. Features include support of touch gestures, navigation menus, profile forms, Google mapping, interactive polls, click-to-call, offline viewing, image galleries, archives, video, and save-to-home-screen functionality.
"It's slick," said Doug Strohm, president of Tudor Games - a leading maker of hands-on sports games. "The first email we send looks great on both desktop PCs and mobile devices. When a customer clicks a link, the newsletter instantly turns into an interactive mobile app full of rich content. Customers engage with it much like any other mobile application they're already familiar with. The tracking and analytics allow us to identify the interests of our customers, and begin great conversational interactions with each subsequent touch."
"We saw this sea-of-change coming over a year ago, and set out to eliminate this challenge and cost to marketers," said Matt Highsmith, CEO of TailoredMail. "EmailApptimizer automatically detects the mobile device, and instantly turns the email and landing-pages into an interactive touch-screen experience. Mobile campaign deployment is instantaneous, and engagement rates quickly rise."
With TailoredMail's EmailApptimizer, website tracking, lead scoring, drip-and-trigger tools, CRM integration, and sales-team analytics, businesses can now create nurturing campaigns with significantly improved response rates for prospects on mobile devices. TailoredMail's marketing-automation functionality was at the core of a recent 2012 Stevie Award and ClickZ Connected Marketing Award, enabling marketers to dynamically match content to different customer types.
About TailoredMail
Created in 1997, TailoredMail is a cloud-based email, mobile and social marketing automation platform - the first to turn email campaigns, landing-pages and microsites into interactive touch-screen mobile applications for smartphone and tablet environments. Using TailoredMail, organizations worldwide can more strategically communicate with subscribers, prospects and customers, along with tracking their behavior to deliver a much more personalized experience on any device--a must in today's economic climate.

Attunity Partners with Teradata to Provide Big Data Replication
Introducing Attunity Replicate for Teradata Big Data Warehouse at the 2012 Teradata Partner Conference
BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, October 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Attunity Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU), a leading provider of information availability software
solutions, announced today that it has partnered with Teradata, one of the world's leading
analytic data solutions companies, to offer Attunity Replicate for Teradata
[http://www.attunity.com/products/attunity-replicate-teradata ], a Big Data replication
solution designed to enable loading of heterogeneous data to Teradata with high
performance, efficiency and ease-of-use. Attunity is currently collaborating with Teradata
to optimize the Attunity Replicate for Teradata solution, which will be introduced at
Attunity Booth #112 during the Teradata Partners Conference in Washington, DC, occurring
October 22-24, 2012.
According to market research firm IDC, the business analytics market grew 14% in 2011
and will hit $50.7 billion in 2016, driven by Big Data. And, by IDC's estimates, one of
the top segments of the worldwide business analytics software market is the business
intelligence and analytic tools segment, which grew 13.2% in 2011 year over year since
2007.[1]
While the market growth prediction is impressive, the fact remains that organizations
today continue to struggle with the challenge of moving Big Data. This is because loading
Big Data to data warehouses in support of Big Data analytics is often complicated,
expensive and time-consuming. This Big Data bottleneck can significantly limit a company's
productivity and competitive edge, so using technologies that are optimized for moving Big
Data is of paramount importance.
"Big Data Analytics has become a significant enabler for business success.
Organizations are looking for solutions that can quickly and efficiently process a variety
of data and handle volumes that are growing at unprecedented rates," explains Itamar
Ankorion, Vice President Business Development and Corporate Strategy at Attunity. "By
partnering with Teradata, we enable organizations to capitalize on Big Data analytics. We
believe that Attunity Replicate is the cost-effective solution for moving the data that
moves your business."

Landmark Apple I Computer at Auction

Landmark Apple I Computer at Auction
COLOGNE, Germany, October 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Cross reference: Picture is available at epa european pressphoto agency
(http://www.epa.eu) and http://www.presseportal.de/pm/107018 -
It was a classic rags-to-riches story. Two college dropouts from California who
founded the world's highest-valued company. Steve Jobs was introduced to Steve Wozniak in
1969 and 'Woz' and Jobs became friends while working for Hewlett-Packard in 1970.
(Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121023/568255 )
By 1976, Wozniak was refining his own computer design. The Altair 8800 had just made
the cover of Popular Electronics and Jobs quickly realised the potential of his friend's
invention. Apple Inc. was established in April 1976 and the first order of 50 computers
was assembled in the Jobs' family garage and delivered to the Byte Shop for $500 per unit.
Apple I was the first ready-made personal computer. Admittedly, the buyer still had to
provide the keyboard and monitor, but as Wozniak explained to enthusiasts at the Homebrew
Computer Club in July 1976, his design allowed the user to work on a "human-typable
keyboard instead of a stupid, cryptic front panel with a bunch of lights and switches".
Of the 200 Apple I computers ever produced, just 43 have survived, and of these only
six are in working order ("Apple 1 Registry", by Mike Willegal). One was sold for a record
$374,500 in June 2012 in New York, a second one of the six is being offered now by Auction
Team Breker in Germany on 24 November 2012.
The Cologne-based auctioneer has been holding record-breaking sales of "Science and
Technology" for 25 years. According to founder Uwe Breker, this is the first fully working
Apple I offered publically in Europe, and the only example with the original period
peripherals - transformer, Sony monitor and Datanetics ASCII keyboard - to have appeared
so far. He comments "There is a long-established market for antique 'Scientific
Instruments', whereas technology from the dawn of the computer age is attracting a great
new generation of collectors."
See http://www.breker.com for details of the auction and
http://www.youtube.com/AuctionTeamBreker for the 7-minute demo-video of the Apple I in
action.
In addition to the media attention around Apple products (especially the early ones),
two motion pictures about the life of Steve Jobs have been announced for the end of the
year, one of which (by Sony Pictures) stars Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs.

RADWIN Chosen by Belgium Police for Major Wireless Video Surveillance Project
TEL AVIV, Israel, October 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
RADWIN'S wireless video solutions help reduce crime in Charleroi;
Systems transmit video from over 200 HD video cameras with superior image
quality
RADWIN (http://www.radwin.com), the global provider of Backhaul and Broadband
Wireless Solutions, today announced that it was chosen by the Belgium Police for a
large-scale SAFE CITY project in the city of Charleroi. RADWIN 5000 Point-to-Multipoint
and RADWIN 2000 Point-to-Point systems were deployed in a high-crime area in Charleroi,
and are used to deliver video from over 200 high-definition cameras installed throughout
the city back to police headquarters. This allows the police force to effectively monitor
public areas and swiftly respond to occurrences of crime and vandalism. Blue Vision
telecom, RADWIN's partner in Belgium, was in charge of project design and implementation.
RADWIN provides a unique solution for wireless video transmission. RADWIN 5000 base
stations deliver up to 250 Mbps with highest uplink capacity. The systems have low visual
impact and can aggregate traffic from multiple HD cameras and transmit video with superior
image quality in real-time. The powerful combination of outstanding performance,
innovative technology and cost-effective price makes RADWIN's offering the best in the
industry for high-quality video surveillance applications.
Geert Nauwelaerts and Wim Simons, managing partners at Blue Vision Telecom, stated:
"This deployment posed a major challenge because it required connectivity of 200 HD
cameras in one square kilometer area. No other manufacturer could guarantee the high
performance of multiple wireless connections in such a congested area. RADWIN, however,
proved this was possible. Incorporating advanced technologies such as GPS Synchronization
which eliminates collocation interference, as well as MIMO and OFDM technologies, RADWIN's
solutions were the best fit for this project."
Yaron Ziv, RADWIN's European Managing Director, said: "We are proud to have been
chosen for this project based upon our proven track record of building high-capacity
wireless video networks worldwide. RADWIN today provides a comprehensive solution that
delivers actionable surveillance information 24/7. Our Point-to-Multipoint and
Point-to-Point systems are delivering real results, improving the safety and wellbeing of
the citizens of Charleroi, Belgium."

BGR Website Launches THE NEW BGR, With Complete Redesign.
Leading mobile and gadget brand redefines the category with new look and remarkable user experience.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Early this morning, Jonathan Geller--President and General Manager of BGR Media, Inc. and Editor-in-chief of the BGR website--launched a new look for what is today's biggest mobile news destination in the world.
Today marks BGR's third redesign since the site's initial launch six years ago, though this redesign is noticeably its most thorough. Markedly apparent is the site's sharp rebranding, with new logos, colors, and what Jonathan calls, "a new personality." Jonathan and his team created a new logo to better reflect this site's growth and evolution, with what Jonathan describes as, "Clean-cut, strong and powerful, but still with an edge and personality."
Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Penske Media Corporation (PMC) Jay Penske said, "Jonathan has once again raised the bar in technology and gadget publishing--not only answering his users' requests, but significantly enhancing BGR.com's design and presentation layer on all platforms. The new BGR homepage design is second to none in one of the most exciting categories online."
Jonathan and his team have created the new BGR to better reflect today's internet experience, making its content clear and easy to navigate from a desktop, tablet and or mobile phone, with no redirects to a subdomain. Users will also find greater ease clicking through the site's galleries, hubs, review pages, tip us box, search area, integrated Twitter feeds, mini hubs, featured section pages, and more.
The new BGR clarifies its verticals and categories with its new hubs layout, making it easier for users to navigate to the categories they most like to read about. Sidebars have been eliminated and each page is full with, allowing content to flow as users read - from left to right. Real-time information is an aspect of the site that will continue to be enhanced over the next few weeks, with comments continually updating as well as new posts appearing if they go up while a user browses the homepage.
BGR is pleased to have partnered with Motorola on its re-launch and rebranding. Motorola has also stepped in to partner on a BGR app for Android, set to launch in the next couple weeks.
About BGR: Jonathan Geller is the founder of Boy Genius Report, now known as BGR. What began as a column on popular gadget blog Engadget quickly grew into one of the site's biggest draws, and Jonathan soon detached the wildly popular column to create what has since become the biggest mobile news destination in the world. BGR was acquired by leading digital media company PMC in April 2010 and Jonathan currently acts as President and General Manager of the newly formed BGR Media, Inc., and Editor-in-chief of the BGR website.
About Penske Media Corporation (PMC): PMC is a leading digital media and publishing company founded by Jay Penske in 2004.

Qualcomm and Project RAY Announce the Development of an Eye-Free Mobile Device to Facilitate Daily Life for Blind and Visually Impaired People

Qualcomm and Project RAY Announce the Development of an Eye-Free Mobile Device to Facilitate Daily Life for Blind and Visually Impaired People
-- Based on an off-the-Shelf Smartphone and Featuring a Unique User Interface, the Project RAY Device Enhances Quality of Life and Promotes Independence --
TEL AVIV, Israel and SAN DIEGO, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), through its Wireless Reach(TM) initiative, and Project RAY Ltd., which designs accessibility tools for blind and visually impaired people, today announced that they have developed the RAY mobile device, an always-on, easy-to-use, multi-function, smartphone that is synchronized with Israel's Central Library for the Blind, Visually Impaired and Handicapped audio books content. This collaboration sets a new standard in accessibility tools and ease of use for visually impaired people.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/58801-qualcomm-project-ray-smartphone-accessibility-blind-and-visually-impaired
According to the World Health Organization, "285 million people are visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 have low vision...About 65 percent of all people who are visually impaired are aged 50 and older, while this age group comprises about 20 percent of the world's population. With an increasing elderly population in many countries, more people will be at risk of age-related visual impairment."
Today, the majority of blind and visually impaired people use simple 2G mobile phones for voice telephony only. In addition, they depend on an array of specialty devices, such as audio book-readers, color readers, navigation tools, raised Braille labels, special bar-code scanners, and large-buttoned, voice-enabled MP3 players which are prohibitively expensive. Based on an off-the-shelf Android OS smartphone powered by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.'s Qualcomm Snapdragon(TM) processor, the Project RAY device integrates the capabilities of smartphone technology and the capabilities of these multiple specialty devices into a single, cost-effective handset with 24/7 mobile broadband connectivity and a UI designed for eye-free interaction. A trial project is currently underway that is testing the new system with 100 participants throughout Israel.
"The breakthrough UI defines a new language for human-device interaction that is built ground-up for eye-free operation," said Boaz Zilberman, chief executive officer of Project RAY. "The user touches any position on the screen and that position becomes the starting point for selecting an audio-book, messaging or other activity. Navigation is enabled by a few simple finger movements in different directions. The phone's built-in vibration capabilities and voice prompts provide user feedback and the UI learns to adapt its behavior based on users' preferences and usage patterns."
The UI supports a rich set of services, including phone calls, text messaging with vocal read-out, navigation, object recognition, social network services, remote assistance, audio-book reading, and other leisure and entertainment offerings.
"Audio-books, magazines and periodicals are an important method for accessing information for blind and visually impaired people, but the current system requires renting items by mail, which is not timely. Subscribers can now use RAY devices to easily access and download audio assets from the library over an advanced mobile broadband network, rather than waiting to receive CD copies," said Amos Beer, chief executive officer of the Central Library for the Blind, Visually Impaired and Handicapped. "Our library is delighted to be working with Qualcomm and Project RAY to build a system enabling people with vision impairments to remotely access and download audio assets from the library. Also, the system is being designed specifically for Project RAY devices and specific user identities to ensure digital rights management protection for copyrighted material."
"We believe the Project RAY device will enhance the ability of blind and visually impaired people to access resources and information independently," said Don Rosenberg, executive vice president and general counsel for Qualcomm. "This project, which is part of our Wireless Reach initiative, demonstrates one of the many ways Qualcomm technology can improve people's lives and we are proud to support this important program."
About Project RAY
Project RAY Ltd. develops and markets breakthrough accessibility solutions for blind and visually impaired. RAY is an integrated mobile device designed to assist visually impaired people and their families in their daily life.

About the Central Library for the Blind, Visually Impaired and Handicapped
The Central Library for the Blind is a registered non-profit organization that was established 60 years ago. It serves some 10,000 subscribers. The Library serves blind, visually impaired and reading-impaired people (those with learning difficulties and anyone who is unable to hold a book due to a physical limitation, such as ALS). The subscription cost is very low, at NIS100 per year. Donations to the Library are recognized according to Israeli income-tax regulation 46.
The majority of the Library's activity consists of recording books, while remaining resources are directed toward production of books in Braille and large print. Additionally, the Library produces, free of charge, recorded educational material for people who need it, even if it is only for one pupil.
The Library has always made a point of using highly advanced technology, whilst adapting products to the technological systems that are popular with subscribers. Beyond the daily operation of the Library, which is funded by a government budget, the Library staff continually develops and implements projects to increase efficiency, for the benefit of subscribers, and these projects are funded by various donors in Israel and throughout the world.
Due to the constant need for many donations, the Library maintains full transparency regarding its activities and use of different funds. Most of the Library's products can be ascribed a value, and this means that each donor can allocate a donation for a specific purpose that is close to his or her heart. The Library management ensures that each donation is used to improve the service to our thousands of subscribers.

Texas Attorneys Launch New Resource for Corporate, Government Whistleblowers

Texas Attorneys Launch New Resource for Corporate, Government Whistleblowers
Winning team in Texas' largest Medicaid whistleblower settlement debuts new website
DALLAS, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A team of Texas attorneys with decades of courtroom experience has launched the new website Texas Whistleblower (http://www.txwhistleblower.com) to assist government employees and those at private and publicly-traded companies who stand to claim significant financial rewards for reporting unethical business practices by their employers.
Dallas attorneys Tom Melsheimer and Natalie Arbaugh and Austin lawyer Tommy Jacks recently established the Texas Whistleblower website in response to increasing demand for information on U.S. whistleblower laws and the money available for those employees who recognize and report ethical breaches in the workplace.
"Whistleblower laws date back to the Civil War, where they protected the Union Army from being ripped off by unscrupulous providers of supplies. Today, these laws help combat fraud involving federal and state programs and other misconduct by corporations," says Mr. Melsheimer. "We believe the Texas Whistleblower website will be a valuable resource for employees who want to know more about whistleblower laws, and those who are considering reporting something they already may have witnessed where they work."
In January, Mr. Melsheimer, Ms. Arbaugh and Mr. Jacks worked with the Texas Attorney General's Office to secure a $158 million settlement for whistleblower Allen Jones and the State of Texas against pharmaceutical manufacturer Johnson & Johnson and its Janssen unit. The settlement was reached during a trial that accused the defendants of using misleading marketing tactics to convince Texas officials to spend millions on the anti-psychotic drug Risperdal. The settlement amount is nearly double the largest Medicaid fraud settlement in Texas history.
"New whistleblower laws, such as those in the Dodd-Frank Act, and the money awards offered by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have created a new dynamic in the courts for employees who step forward and reveal their employers' misdeeds," says Mr. Jacks. "We're staying abreast of the latest developments in whistleblower laws in order to benefit clients from the start of the process all the way through trial."
Texas Whistleblowerserves as a resource for employees who decide to file whistleblower claims. The site includes informative videos with a "behind the scenes" perspective, answers to frequently-asked questions, and information about whistleblower rights and protections.

A Touch Of Spain In Washington Wine Country's Backyard
Castillo De Feliciana Vineyard & Winery receives a cyber-facelift
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Castillo De Feliciana Vineyard & Winery was inspired by the Southern region of Spain called Andalucia where the majestic blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet with the Mediterranean Sea. The region is home to beautiful stark white buildings and Terra Cotta tile roofs of Los Pueblos Blancos.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121022/SF97464LOGO)
This is the look and feeling of the newly re-designed website of Castillo De Feliciana (http://www.castillodefeliciana.com). Wine enthusiasts looking for an amazing Spanish wine experience will soon have an easier time locating that special Albarino, Tempranillo, Malbec, Tempranillo Rose or Bolsa Negra with the launch of this new website.
Castillo De Feliciana has partnered with full service advertising agency, AMI Advertising Agency (http://www.amiadagency.com) to enhance the Castillo De Feliciana brand online, on-site as well as at retail. The goal is for people searching for a unique winery in Eastern Washington a chance to experience an extension of the Spanish style tasting room online.
"Along with growth comes change. Our new website is one of these changes that we feel exemplifies this growth. We partnered with AMI Advertising Agency to help us clarify our direction and keep us consistent with our mission. We are a "Boutique Winery," which presents some challenges in that our exposure to the public can be limiting because of size and ability to reach out to customers. Our web site, as developed by AMI, will now enable us to reach out to people not only with concise information but it will provide people the ability to purchase our wines ON LINE! This is a direct sale to consumer approach that will certainly enhance our profitability. Our market will be expanded to the worldwide web. We are excited by our current direction with AMI Advertising in a lead position." - Dr. Sam Castillo owner Castillo De Feliciana Vineyard and Winery.
By creating this online experience it opens open the winery to an additional sales channel, while giving way to new and exciting avenues of marketing, "Virtual Tasting" anyone? In recent months the Castillo De Feliciana Vineyard & Winery had an eastside location in Snohomish. The landlord of the facilities closed the space forcing Castillo among other wineries to find new locations. The new website and shopping feature will allow the customers there a chance to buy product online while an eastside location is found.
In addition to the shopping feature, Flamenco Club members will have exclusive access to the wine club page for specials and incentives only allowed to members. The Flamenco Club is limited in size, due to the success of the Castillo De Feliciana varietals, membership is filling up fast.
Castillo de Feliciana Vineyard & Winery is located just south of Walla Walla on 66 acres. Feliciana was the chosen name as it is also a blend: "Feliz" meaning happiness, and also memorializes Deborah Castillo's Aunt Feliciana, of whom she has many sweet and vivid childhood memories. The images of a Castillian dancer or Spanish Fado singer is the centerpiece of the wine label, evoking the mystery, color and enchantment of Spain.

The region is home to beautiful stark white buildings and Terra Cotta tile roofs of Los Pueblos Blancos.

This is the look and feeling of the newly re-designed website of Castillo De Feliciana (http://www.castillodefeliciana.com). Wine enthusiasts looking for an amazing Spanish wine experience will soon have an easier time locating that special Albarino, Tempranillo, Malbec, Tempranillo Rose or Bolsa Negra with the launch of this new website.
Castillo De Feliciana has partnered with full service advertising agency, AMI Advertising Agency (http://www.amiadagency.com) to enhance the Castillo De Feliciana brand online, on-site as well as at retail. The goal is for people searching for a unique winery in Eastern Washington a chance to experience an extension of the Spanish style tasting room online.
"Along with growth comes change. Our new website is one of these changes that we feel exemplifies this growth. We partnered with AMI Advertising Agency to help us clarify our direction and keep us consistent with our mission. We are a "Boutique Winery," which presents some challenges in that our exposure to the public can be limiting because of size and ability to reach out to customers. Our web site, as developed by AMI, will now enable us to reach out to people not only with concise information but it will provide people the ability to purchase our wines ON LINE! This is a direct sale to consumer approach that will certainly enhance our profitability. Our market will be expanded to the worldwide web. We are excited by our current direction with AMI Advertising in a lead position." - Dr. Sam Castillo owner Castillo De Feliciana Vineyard and Winery.
By creating this online experience it opens open the winery to an additional sales channel, while giving way to new and exciting avenues of marketing, "Virtual Tasting" anyone? In recent months the Castillo De Feliciana Vineyard & Winery had an eastside location in Snohomish. The landlord of the facilities closed the space forcing Castillo among other wineries to find new locations. The new website and shopping feature will allow the customers there a chance to buy product online while an eastside location is found.
In addition to the shopping feature, Flamenco Club members will have exclusive access to the wine club page for specials and incentives only allowed to members. The Flamenco Club is limited in size, due to the success of the Castillo De Feliciana varietals, membership is filling up fast.
Castillo de Feliciana Vineyard & Winery is located just south of Walla Walla on 66 acres. Feliciana was the chosen name as it is also a blend: "Feliz" meaning happiness, and also memorializes Deborah Castillo's Aunt Feliciana, of whom she has many sweet and vivid childhood memories. The images of a Castillian dancer or Spanish Fado singer is the centerpiece of the wine label, evoking the mystery, color and enchantment of Spain.

Georgia First Lady Sandra Deal And Verizon Team Up To Raise Awareness Of Domestic Violence
Event Highlighted How Georgians Can Support Domestic Violence Causes in the Community; Company Donates $20,000 to Governor's Office for Children and Families
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of domestic violence awareness month, Georgia First Lady Sandra Deal and Verizon held an event at the Capital Building earlier today to educate Georgians about easy ways to support domestic violence causes in the state. Deal and Verizon encouraged Georgians to do their part by donating no-longer-used wireless phones to HopeLine® from Verizon. As a highlight of the event, Michelle Robinson, vice president of the Verizon South Region, presented a $20,000 HopeLine grant to the Governor's Office for Children and Families.
As Board Chair of the Governor's Office for Children and Families, First Lady Deal and Katie Jo Ballard, executive director, have identified the need for additional domestic violence awareness, education and prevention initiatives in Georgia. HopeLine, Verizon Wireless' national cell phone recycling and re-use program, contributes to this effort by collecting no-longer-used wireless devices and accessories - all models, from all wireless carriers - to be refurbished, recycled and/or sold. Proceeds benefit victims of domestic violence in Georgia through cash grants to domestic violence agencies and organizations as well as refurbished phones with prepaid minutes of wireless service, which are provided to local domestic violence organizations or local government and law enforcement agencies for their use with domestic violence clients.
"Domestic violence affects every community in Georgia and that is why the Governor's Office for Children and Families is committed to raising awareness of this epidemic and supporting domestic violence prevention efforts, such as Verizon's HopeLine program, to benefit and improve the lives in our communities," Deal said. "We are thrilled they have chosen to support our efforts with this generous donation."
"First Lady Deal is a committed partner in raising awareness of domestic violence causes. We look forward to the community becoming more involved with HopeLine and increasing their phone donations, enabling us to provide more funds and support to Georgia-based domestic violence organizations that are making a positive difference in our communities," said Robinson. "Honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month and donate your no longer-used devices and accessories to HopeLine at your local Verizon Wireless store."
Georgians can donate a phone at any Verizon Wireless store or by mail all year round. To print a prepaid HopeLine mailing label, simply to go http://www.verizonwireless.com/hopeline.
Event images are available for viewing and download at the First Lady's Photo Gallery.

solutions in a more cost-efficient manner. Financial institutions will now be able to use
NICE Actimize solutions whether installed on-premise or delivered in the cloud. These
capabilities are important during this time of heightened regulatory reform, when
financial services firms require flexibility and the agility to choose between on-premise
implementation, on-demand access or a hybrid approach.
Zeevi Bregman, President and CEO of NICE Systems, said, "As the market leader in the
financial risk management and compliance space, our customers are looking to NICE for
solutions that enable them to effectively address the growing importance of compliance and
the anticipated wave of regulations. The acquisition of Redkite is an important and
strategic addition to our trade surveillance and compliance business. Expanding our
solutions portfolio will enable NICE to provide timely and cost effective solutions that
address the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape."
Notes Amir Orad, President and CEO of NICE Actimize, "Utilizing Redkite's innovative
cloud and trade surveillance technology, we can accelerate our clients' ability to quickly
deploy new compliance modules as new regulations appear while lowering total cost of
ownership. We believe that our complementary technology offerings will deliver strategic
value to tier one and tier two financial institutions alike. The Redkite technology
contribution also enhances our ability to analyze intraday trading activity in real time,
a requirement that has been increasingly on regulators' and customers' agendas."
Adds Orad, "We welcome Redkite co-founders Justin Amos and John Edge, and the team of
compliance and technology savvy professionals, to the NICE family."
Redkite co-founder Justin Amos said, "We are excited about the future and our alliance
with a company such as NICE that understands how to deliver technology globally to the
capital markets. NICE Actimize delivers a breadth and strength in financial crime
solutions that is second to none, and we are proud that the Redkite service will be part
of this team."
The Redkite team will be introduced to customers in New York at the NICE Actimize 8th
Annual Global Client Forum, an exclusive flagship gathering of executive leadership from
the world's most prominent financial institutions. Taking place from October 23-24, the
NICE Actimize Global Client Forum is an invitation-only event designed to foster
collaboration among the world's leading financial institutions.
The Company expects the acquisition to be immaterial to its fourth quarter and
full-year 2012 Non-GAAP revenues and Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share.

Hubwoo adds to its Cloud Invoice Management Leadership through TrustWeaver Certification

Hubwoo adds to its Cloud Invoice Management Leadership through TrustWeaver Certification
Hubwoo awarded the right to use "TrustWeaver enabled" trust mark
PARIS, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hubwoo SA (Euronext: HBW.NX), a leading global provider of B2B buying and selling solutions in the cloud, today announced a legal compliance certification for its global invoice management solutions. Hubwoo has been given the right to use a new trust mark issued by TrustWeaver, a leading provider of cloud-based information compliance and governance solutions based in Sweden. The "TrustWeaver enabled" trust mark allows Hubwoo to signify that The Business Network by Hubwoo benefits from a superior level of legal compliance, evidence and control.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110202/MM41149LOGO)
"We are pleased to show the market we take legal compliance just as seriously as any other aspect of our solutions," said Rinus Strydom, SVP Solutions and CMO. "Many solutions out there are arguably compliant with laws, but vendors often provide generic invoice presentment solutions that do not actively adjust for local laws in logic and user interface experience. With TrustWeaver's time-honored solutions, based on continuous legal monitoring and detailed in-built compliance documentation, our users get upfront local legal recognition of their electronic invoices and other legally critical documents in 38 countries."
Invoice management with The Business Network by Hubwoo includes:
-- 100% electronic invoice presentment: Suppliers present electronic
invoices over The Business Network either through their online account,
through uploading multiple invoice spreadsheets, via optical character
recognition scanning service, or via a direct connection to their
accounts receivable system.
-- Conditional logic during invoice presentment: The Business Network
allows buyers to define invoice presentment rules and tolerances at the
source, ensuring that invoices meet business rules even before they
arrive at accounts payable. This shrinks the timeline to receive
approved invoices, which maximizes flexibility on early payment
discounts and cash management. Consol Energy, for example, has realized
a step change in value by reducing blocked invoices from 60% down to
only 4% requiring manual intervention.
-- Invoice Legal Compliance: Local legal compliance with invoicing
requirements, digital signatures, and archiving in 38 countries.
-- Match & Approve: A cloud based invoice matching and approval solution,
which streamlines the invoice approval process based on rules,
validations and workflow. Buyers' business rules ensure nothing gets
paid that doesn't meet approved processes.
-- Invoice and payment status: A cloud service that puts invoice and
payment status information online on The Business Network for 100% of a
company's suppliers. Suppliers gain 24x7 access to invoice approval
status, payment status, and payment dates. Accounts payable departments
eliminate the burden of answering status inquiries on invoices and
payments, freeing up staff to focus on more strategic activities such as
reducing off-contract spend, cash management, and dynamic negotiations
on early payment discounts.
Paying smarter is now not only more efficient, it's even more legally compliant, better for companies' bottom line, and helps companies automate accounts payable and optimize staff. From senior management, to A/P teams, to suppliers, everyone involved realizes value.

GigaSpaces Cloudify Partners with IBM to Bring True Cloud Economics to IBM InfoSphere BigInsights(TM)

GigaSpaces Cloudify Partners with IBM to Bring True Cloud Economics to IBM InfoSphere BigInsights(TM)
Cloudify Enables Rapid BigInsights Deployments for Public and Private Clouds Improving Operational and Infrastructure Costs
GigaSpaces Technologies, October 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
GigaSpaces Technologies, a pioneer of next generation application and cloud enablement
platforms for business-critical applications, announced today that it is partnering with
IBM to bring the benefits of cloud economics and developer agility to its InfoSphere
BigInsights product. With IBM's BigInsights taking the power of Hadoop to enterprises,
Cloudify enables BigInsights to run consistently with additional big data services such as
NoSQL databases and more; simplifying these systems' deployments through consistent
management, as well as improving cost efficiency with its cloud enablement & portability
support.
"The intersection of big data and the cloud holds a lot of promise in terms of
optimization of costs and development cycles. GigaSpaces set out to make this possible
with Cloudify for BigInsights," says Leon Katsnelson, Program Director, IM Cloud Computing
Center of Competence and Evangelism at IBM. "This integration enables you to run your
BigInsights Hadoop distribution on the cloud of your choice, reducing overhead and
infrastructure costs exponentially, in addition to minimizing the complexity involved with
managing these systems through unified and consistent management."
Cloudify's consistent management refers specifically to consistent deployment,
configuration, and management across the stack, which applies not only to the deployment
phase, but also to post-deployment, including failover, scaling, and upgrades - which are
all easily accomplished through Cloudify's built-in recipe mechanism. With agile
development becoming more and more critical to big data distributions these days, the
single click app deployment Cloudify provides now makes the much-needed DevOps automation
of these systems a real possibility.
Additionally, big data systems tend to consume a lot of infrastructure resources that
can easily pile up to thousands of nodes. GigaSpaces realized that they can optimize the
infrastructure cost for running big data systems through cloud enablement and cloud
portability. Cloud portability enables you to choose the right cloud for the job. For
example, you can now choose a bare-metal cloud for I/O intensive workloads or a
virtualized/public cloud for more sporadic workloads.
"Big data systems tend to be complex to manage and operate, as they often include
other services such as relational databases, other NoSQL databases, stream processing, web
front ends and more, with each framework coming with its own management, installation,
configuration, and scaling solutions," says Nati Shalom, CTO at GigaSpaces. "Managing each
component of your big data system separately is an operational nightmare, and that
complexity only grows as the system gets bigger, and with big data that's just to be
expected."
With consistent management, the experience of managing each of the tiers and services
in the big data system becomes consistent throughout the entire stack, and by enabling
your BigInsights systems for all cloud environments means you can leverage all the
agility, efficiency, and flexibility of the cloud, while also allowing you to choose the
right cloud for the job.
Visit GigaSpaces at booth #634-19, at the IBM Information on Demand Conference at the
Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, from October 21st - 24th, 2012.
GigaSpaces' Nati Shalom will be presenting this joint-solution with Leon Katsnelson of
IBM at the event in the session titled: The Elephant in the Cloud: Bring True Cloud
Economics to InfoSphere BigInsights on October 24th at 2:30 PM in the Business Partner
Theater.
