eXelate Launches maX Brand, an Actionable Custom Modeling Solution for Expanding Brand Reach Quickly and Easily

Proprietary modeling algorithms and audience analytics fuel enhanced campaign performance and reach for digital brand marketers

NEW YORK, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- eXelate, the leading data and analytics engine powering optimal digital marketing decisions, today announced the launch of maX Brand(TM), proprietary top-of-funnel audience models that leverage eXelate's billions of consumer lifestyle, brand affinity, social and shopping behavior data points in order to drive revenue.

Following the launch of maX Performance(TM), a modeling solution for marketers seeking a direct response or action from specific audiences at scale, eXelate now announces maX Brand(TM), an easy-to-implement audience modeling solution which provides brand marketers with a highly targeted audience at unprecedented reach. maX Brand(TM) uses consumer-level data to drive long-term customer value by identifying upper funnel prospects that will emotionally connect to a company's brand positioning and messaging.

For example, maX Brand(TM) models within the automotive sector are less concerned with who's 'in-market' to purchase a specific car today and more focused on how to build brand awareness and affinity among specific target audiences likely to engage and connect with specific models - and to consider them for a future purchase. maX Brand(TM) goes beyond the short-term outlook of most current online targeting methods and seeks to promote long-term corporate growth by building engagement, brand connections and enduring consumer relationships.

maX Brand(TM) models are custom-built for each advertiser, in real time, leveraging key brand attributes, consumer affinities and conquesting criteria. In addition, the models can be delivered on any media platform. Unlike traditional data segments, maX data(TM) segments are modeled on specific advertiser criteria and modified to enhance performance in real time via eXelate's Adaptive Audience Intelligence(TM) process.

Additional benefits that differentiate maX Brand(TM) include:

    --  Proprietary methodology: eXelate's analytics team developed maX
        Brand(TM) to provide brand marketers with a fast and easy-to-integrate
        custom modeling solution.
    --  Scalability: From unique data sets including over 400 million unique
        users, only eXelate's maX modeling provides such a broad range of
        proprietary data from which to derive unique insights and uncover rich
        and deep audience segments based on similar brand affinities to deliver
        true scale.
    --  Flexibility: eXelate can deliver audience data instantly across any
        media platform, providing fast turnaround times with no ramp up.
"Data is the fuel that powers all smart marketing decisions," said eXelate CEO, Mark S. Zagorski. "From building a more robust understanding of your target audience to informing customer acquisition strategies, the insights marketers are able to uncover from online consumer data are driving more effective real time advertising decisions. And, while more data isn't always better, we're seeing that more valuable modeled data, and the proper analysis of it can help accelerate marketer performance. Media selection is rapidly taking a backseat to fine-tuned audience composition targeting, and maX Brand(TM) and maX Performance(TM) are quickly becoming must-have solutions for forward-thinking digital marketers. "

Based on past campaign performance metrics and present campaign goals, eXelate's analytics team develops proprietary custom audience models for marketers and advertisers with maX Performance(TM) and maX Brand(TM).

About eXelate

New "DIY Management" Helps Homeowners Associations Thrive In Down Economy

For the first time, self-managed associations have professional management tools

MINNEAPOLIS, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cities Management, Inc., recently launched DIY Management, a low-cost comprehensive online tool to help self-managed homeowners associations survive - and even thrive - in the current economy.

DIY Management serves a niche that's been ignored
"This is a big deal for self-managed associations," notes Traci Lehman, president, Cities Management.  "No other companies are offering these professional management tools to self-managed associations.  Typically, management companies offer 'full service' or 'financial only,' services which cost two-to-six times more than the $150 monthly fee for DIY Management."

The Problem: The Economic Downturn Hurt Homeowners Associations
Homeowners associations have many of the same expenses as small municipalities: road repair, building maintenance and snow removal. Foreclosures and delinquencies have reduced available funds, and many communities need to reduce costs.  At the same time, buyers are often wary of paying dues and turning over control to a board of directors that doesn't have the support of a professional management company.

A 2011 survey conducted by Community Associations Institute (http://www.caionline.org) revealed that 56% of association communities face "severe" or "serious" problems as a result of the economic downturn.

The solution: DIY Management
DIY Management solves homeowners associations' economic problem - and boosts the confidence of buyers and owners - by providing the same software that is currently being used by more than 3,500 professionally-managed associations, without the cost of a property manager (often the costliest part of professional management).

For the first time, DIY Management customers are able to "do-it-yourself" by completing the functions and templates of a professional management company.  Meeting agendas, maintenance requests, delinquency notices-- even reservations for shared amenities like tennis courts --are all securely stored in an easy-to-use, easy-to-access online tool.

DIY Management helps associations save money while operating efficiently and professionally, especially:

    --  Self-managed associations
    --  Single family associations that don't need "full service"
    --  Larger associations that would like to save money and become
        self-managed
    --  Smaller associations that find "full service" too expensive
    --  Vacation home associations that share recordkeeping with owners who live
        elsewhere
For a full list of DIY Management services, visit http://www.citiesmanagement.com/servicesDIY.html.

About Cities Management:  30 years of experience
Founded in 1982, Cities Management (http://www.citiesmanagement.com) manages homeowner associations, townhomes, condominiums, cooperatives, and single family communities throughout Minnesota, Milwaukee and Western Wisconsin.

Introducing MindLink: New Enterprise Social Collaboration Platform Fosters Secure Team-Based Communication Among Knowledge Workers, Improves Business Productivity

ENTERPRISE 2.0 CONFERENCE - BOSTON, June 20, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

         MindLink Being Unveiled During Enterprise 2.0 Conference; New Product Helps

                                 Eliminate Email Overload

    Today at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, Formicary Collaboration Group
[http://www.fcg.im ] (http://www.fcg.im, Booth #220) introduced MindLink
[http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ]. MindLink is an
enterprise social collaboration platform
[http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ] that fosters secure,
streamlined, team-based communication
[http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ] and collaboration through
a company's existing Microsoft environment and unified communications solution. MindLink
specializes in social collaboration
[http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ]: multi-layered discussions
between groups of people within an organization vs. social networking, which connects
people on the individual, peer-to-peer level.

    "Business success today depends on teams of individuals working towards collective
goals," said Daanish Khan, Vice President, Strategy and Marketing, Formicary Collaboration
Group (FCG). "But traditional email and social networking technology tools have fallen
short in the enterprise in delivering business value because they're not ideal for
interactive, team-based collaboration
[http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ]. MindLink, on the other
hand, was built from the ground up to support efficient communication among groups. It's
so effective in the enterprise that it frequently becomes the preferred mode of
communications for groups working on common activities and goal."

    With MindLink, knowledge workers within an organization can build engaged team- and
interest-based communities that offer:

   
    - Open and transparent real-time and asynchronous communication and
      collaboration among groups
    - Efficient sharing of information by content experts throughout employee
      networks
    - Access to contextual information from line-of-business applications to drive
      dynamic discussions.

    "Traditional businesses are very 'siloed' - they contain vast amounts of intellectual
capital that is never accessed by the organization," explains Eileen Brown, CEO of social
business consultancy Amastra [http://www.amastra.co.uk ] and author of "Working The Crowd:
Social Media Marketing for Business." "In contrast, the social business democratizes data
by breaking down the information hierarchies and ensuring that knowledge stays alive, and
a true organizational asset. MindLink [http://www.fcgmindlink.com ] brings together all
the collaboration features, making them intuitive to use and accessible to everyone who
needs them throughout the organization."

    What Sets MindLink Apart

    Data shows enterprises are increasingly intrigued with the idea of social
collaboration tools [http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ] to
drive business productivity. But concerns around security, adoption and compliance are
holding many back from implementing.

    MindLink is unique because it's built on Microsoft Lync, Microsoft's unified
communications platform, making it fast and easy to implement into an organization and
integrate into employees' daily workflow and processes, supporting high user adoption. And
because MindLink is available as either an on-premise
[http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ] or private cloud
[http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ] solution, it alleviates
enterprise data security concerns.

    The result is far more powerful and efficient group collaboration
[http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ] than traditional email and
social networking tools enable, making for more productive and efficient teams.

    Key MindLink Features and Benefits

   
    - Live Team-based Content/Communication Streams: Delivers live communication
      and information from internal systems (document management, project management, CRM)
      or external sources (news feeds, public social networks) into focus, team-based
      content and communications streams.
    - Customization: MindLink's LiveStream shows all message updates in a single
      view. MindLink enables employees to subscribe to content that's most relevant to them,
      eliminating the problem of information overload commonly associated with traditional
      email. Users can create conversation streams based on their individual projects, teams
      and interests, change the order of streams, or remove them from view completely, while
      still getting all updates in their LiveStream.
    - Central Access to Conversation Tools: MindLink provides users with a central
      place to access team conversations and individual instant messaging.
    - Status Updates: MindLink enables employees to effortlessly keep their
      colleagues in the know about their whereabouts and availability at all times, reducing
      the number of missed calls and needless emails.
    - Search and Storage: All MindLink conversation history is securely stored.
      Users can quickly search and retrieve relevant information from MindLink whenever it
      is needed.
    - Universal, Anywhere, Anytime Access: MindLink is available whenever and
      wherever a user may need it. It works on all major browsers and platforms - PC, Mac,
      iPad, Linux.

    The MindLink Platform Consists of:

   
    - MindLink Anywhere: Browser based access to topic-based information and
      communication streams, with features including custom notifications, instant
      messaging, activity feed and co-worker connections. MindLink lets users focus on
      what's important - and filter out what isn't, letting them consume information based
      on their priorities.
    - MindLink Mobile: When users are on the go, they want to restrict the amount of
      information coming their way. MindLink allows users to filter out the noise by
      selecting a subset of streams to appear on their smart phone. Further granularity
      allows more restricted information in the Mobile LiveStream. Configure custom
      notifications based on specific streams or contacts.
    - MindLink for SharePoint: For organizations already using Microsoft SharePoint
      for team based project and document management, MindLink for SharePoint lets users
      introduce communication streams within their community sites. Individual streams can
      be exposed as SharePoint webparts for specific user communities.
    - MindLink for Outlook: Microsoft Outlook is the default communication
      environment for most knowledge workers. MindLink allows topic based streams to live
      alongside individual emails by exposing MindLink in Outlook, enabling fast adoption
      without taking users out of their comfort zone.
    - MindLink Connectors and API: Existing connectors, for example RSS, deliver
      content to the appropriate communication streams. MindLink's simple RESTful API makes
      it easy to develop new connectors helping drive dynamic discussions

    Organizations without large IT departments or existing Microsoft infrastructure can
still take advantage of MindLink's power through FCG's first US hosted service provider,
Saratoga Springs, NY-based Thoughtbus [http://www.thoughtbus.com ]. Already, Thoughtbus
customers are preparing to implement MindLink throughout their organizations.

    "We're always pursuing the promise of social software and its related power to empower
collaboration," said Alberto Molina, President of SureTech.com. "To have MindLink's social
platform integrated with Thoughtbus' powerful collaboration service for our email,
SharePoint, mobile and Lync helps us streamline our business process for local and remote
staff as well as for customer contacts and subcontracted teams."

    FCG Secures $1.5MM in Capital Infusion, Announces US Expansion Plans

    MindLink also shared news of more than $1.5 million in growth capital the company
secured in April and announced the company has hired a West Coast sales manager in the US.

    "FCG plans to use this capital infusion to expand our presence in North America and
aggressively market MindLink to US organizations, where we're already seeing strong demand
for our solution," commented Khan.

    Pricing and Availability

    MindLink is available immediately on a per-user subscription basis.

    About Formicary Collaboration Group

    Formicary Collaboration Group (FCG) is a provider of team-based social collaboration
solutions [http://www.fcg.im/MindLink-Social-Collaboration-Platform.aspx ]. FCG's software

Badgeville Launches Social Mechanics To Boost User Engagement For World-Class Companies

Global gamification leader delivers Social Mechanics to drive engagement in real time across a company's web, mobile, and application touchpoints

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gamification Summit - Badgeville, The Behavior Platform and global gamification leader, today announced the launch of Social Mechanics. The new offering allows world-class companies to apply the same dynamics that power popular social networks to drive similar user behaviors right where they belong - on top of their own websites and applications. Social Mechanics expands on Badgeville's Social Context offering, which launched last September.

Social Mechanics creates a more engaging experience for users by making a company's digital touchpoints inherently more social and dynamic. Empowering customers and employees with the ability to follow relevant people, content, products, and data, Social Mechanics provides better context for how other users interact with their favorite websites and get work done inside their critical enterprise applications.

"Social Mechanics is the next, important chapter in our goal to drive more engaging experiences across websites and applications for world-class companies," says Kris Duggan, CEO, Badgeville. "By exposing the real-time behaviors that users perform, it encourages others to follow in their footsteps almost instantaneously, improving customer loyalty and employee performance."

As Social Mechanics increases the number of valuable behaviors users perform, Badgeville's Game Mechanics empowers companies to reward them for their participation. With smart gamification elements like points, achievements, levels and missions, The Behavior Platform helps companies improve user growth, retention, adoption, and overall engagement.

For example, on a retail sporting goods site, a customer is notified via Badgeville Social Mechanics that another user wrote a review about the latest pair of running sneakers. Upon reading the review, the user comments on it, and eventually writes her own review on running shorts. With Badgeville's smart gamification, she then receives the "Marathon" achievement, which counts towards special privileges and access for running products. 

Key Features for Badgeville's Social Mechanics

TheBehavior Graph sits at the core of Badgeville. In addition to fostering people-to-people connections like a traditional social graph, the Badgeville Behavior Graph empowers site owners to connect users through their activities around key objects, such as commenting on content or reviewing a product.

Social Context is a collection of rich activity streams that surface the contextually relevant behaviors users perform. With personalized filtering, end users can receive updates from just the people and content they explicitly follow. Leveraging Badgeville's ability to process rich metadata, companies can also create Custom Streams that map behavior updates to specific content, site sections, and application modules.

Find & Follow lets users cull their social networks to see if they have any personal connections on the site, and easily follow them and others. They can also follow specific pages, products, and content with the simple click of a button.

Real-Time Notifications alert users about contextually relevant behaviors as they happen in real-time, connecting them with valuable content and products.

Badgeville is the global gamification leader and one of the fastest-growing SaaS startups in the world, having just raised its $25M Series C funding, totaling $40M in just 20 months since the company's launch. Badgeville's Behavior Platform has helped hundreds of companies improve customer loyalty and employee performance in virtually every major industry.

Badgeville customers include Oracle, EMC, Deloitte, Dell, and Samsung. Some customers have seen as much as 500 percent increase in user comments, 140 percent growth in time on site, 60 percent increase in employee engagement, 80 percent jump in user registrations, 600 percent gain in shop clicks, 250 percent growth in training compliance and 2000 percent surge in social shares.

Social Mechanics is available a la carte or as an extension to the core Behavior Platform gamification engine. Pricing varies by community size, so please contact sales@badgevile.com to learn more.

New XMC Module links Configurable Virtex-6 FPGA to High-Speed PCIe, SRIO, and Gigabit Ethernet Interface

The new XMC-6VLX modules are designed for applications requiring a powerful co-processor tightly integrated with Gigabit Ethernet communication or other high-speed serial interfaces.

WIXOM, Mich., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Acromag's new XMC-6VLX mezzanine modules feature a configurable Xilinx® Virtex(TM)-6 FPGA enhanced with multiple high-speed memory buffers, I/O, and numerous high-bandwidth serial interfaces. The FPGA provides rapid processing and is closely coupled to the serial interconnects to prevent data transfer bottlenecks. 10-Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, and Xilinx Aurora implementations are supported. Optional front-panel I/O adds dual SFP ports for Fibre Channel or copper Gigabit Ethernet and a VHDCR connector for expanded I/O signal access. Typical uses include simulation, communications, signal intelligence, and image processing. Available in a variety of configurations, models start at $8250 with upgradeable logic, I/O, and operating temperature capabilities.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120620/DE27804)

"Combining the powerful Virtex-6 FPGA with these high-speed serial transceivers enables real-time processing of signals in many applications requiring intensive computation tasks and fast interfaces," commented Joseph Primeau, Acromag's embedded sales and marketing director. The FPGA serves as a co-processor applying custom logic and algorithms to streams of remote sensor data. Common uses are processing radar, sonar, or video and communication tasks such as encryption or protocol conversion.

Build options include the choice of a Xilinx XC6LX240T or  XC6LX365T FPGA device and additional front-panel I/O connectors. Base models are ready for use in air-cooled or conduction-cooled systems. The front I/O option adds two 2.5Gbps SFP connectors and a 36-pin VHDCR connector for JTAG, USB, and 22 SelectIO. SelectIO signals are Virtex-6 FPGA I/O pins that support single-ended I/O (LVCMOS, HSTL, SSTL) and differential I/O standards (LVDS, HT, LVPECL, BLVDS, HSTL, SSTL). All models are available with extended temperature range parts suitable for -40 to 85 degrees C operation.

The rear I/O supports 8-lane high-speed serial interfaces on both the P15 and P16 XMC ports for PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, or Xilinx Aurora implementation. P16 also has 34 SelectIO channels and two global clock pairs direct to the FPGA. The P4 port adds another 60 SelectIO and two more global clock pairs.

Large, high-speed memory banks provide efficient data handling and storage. Generous 128M x 64-bit DDR3 SDRAM buffers store captured data prior to FPGA processing. The data is directly accessible through the FPGA. Afterward, data is moved to the 2M x 72-bit SRAM for high-speed DMA transfer to the bus or CPU. The high-bandwidth serial x4/x8 interface ensures fast data throughput. 16M x 16-bit parallel flash memory conveniently stores MicroBlaze(TM) program code.

Acromag's Engineering Design Kit provides utilities to help users develop custom programs, load VHDL into the FPGA and to establish DMA transfers between the FPGA and the CPU. The kit includes a compiled FPGA file and example VHDL code provided as selectable blocks with examples for the local bus interface, read/writes, and change-of-state interrupts to the PCI bus. A JTAG interface allows users to perform on-board VHDL simulation. Further analysis is supported with a ChipScope(TM) Pro interface.

For easy integration of the boards with embedded Windows® applications, Acromag developed a DLL driver software package for compatibility with Microsoft® Visual C++(TM), and Visual Basic. Sample files with "C" source demonstration programs provide easy-to-use tools to test operation of the module.

For connectivity with real time application programs, Acromag offers C libraries for VxWorks® and other operating systems. The libraries provide generic routines (source code included) to handle reads, writes, interrupts, and other functions. Demonstration programs enable the developer to quickly exercise the I/O modules before attaching the routines to the application program. This diagnostic tool can save hours of troubleshooting and debugging. Free Linux example programs are also available.

About Acromag

Acromag has designed and manufactured measurement and control products for more than 50 years. They are an international corporation with a world headquarters near Detroit, Michigan and a global network of sales representatives and distributors. Acromag offers a complete line of embedded I/O and industrial computer products for military, aerospace, manufacturing, transportation, utilities, and scientific research applications.

Updated Ricoh remote forensic collection tool addresses costly challenge of 'full-disk encryption'

Remlox 4.1 enables remote live forensic imaging of hard disks that employ increasingly sophisticated protection

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation today announced that HSSK Forensics, Inc., a Ricoh company, has released a new version of its Remlox(TM), its forensically sound remote data collection tool.

Remlox 4.1 enables any litigation team to take advantage of forensically sound, cost-effective remote live data acquisition, even in the face of increasingly sophisticated encryption technology.

Precise and validated acquisition of data is a key step in forensic analysis and eDiscovery, which is the process of collecting, culling, processing and reviewing electronically stored information (ESI) subject to discovery.

Remlox 4.1, available today, addresses the growing challenge of more technically sophisticated "full-disk encryption," a technology increasingly present on enterprise PCs and laptops that until now has complicated remote data collection. Full-disk encryption has often forced companies to pay for costly expert forensic teams to travel to client sites to collect data in an unencrypted state for further downstream processing. In some cases, the advanced full-drive encryption tools have also compelled clients to share ultra-sensitive encryption keys.

Remlox 4.1 solves these problems as the first and only fully customizable remote data collection tool that supports the acquisition of a full forensic image of a PC or laptop hard drive, even in the presence of advanced full-disk encryption. Clients can continue to reap all the benefits of remote live imaging - efficiency, convenience and cost control - under conditions that would foil most other tools.

The pivotal difference in Remlox 4.1 is that it has the option to acquire hard-disk data at the volume as well as the physical level. The forensically acquired data is protected in transit using AES 256-bit encryption, ensuring the integrity and security of the acquired data.

Remlox has delivered results for clients in 36 countries since its initial release in 2008, and HSSK Forensics has continued to innovate since its acquisition by Ricoh in January 2012. Remlox has been named in several court cases as the specified method for collecting ESI, due to its effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

How Remlox data collection works

The Remlox unit is simply couriered to a custodian, who attaches it to the target computer. The Remlox process then acquires a forensic image of the entire drive. The custodian then returns the unit to HSSK Forensics' forensics lab, along with the included chain-of-custody form, where certified professionals validate the process.

Remlox is part of Ricoh's full suite of eDiscovery services, which includes comprehensive best-in-class technologies that provide customers with customized support throughout the entire electronic discovery process, including data forensics, electronic discovery, document imaging, document coding and Web hosting.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120620/NY27710-b )

Designed for children 3-9 years of age, the App delivers a library of hundreds of curated books and all new videos presented in a world of adventure and discovery. Traveling to themed islands, such as Animal Kingdom, My Friends, My Family and Genius Academy, kids find a variety of books and videos customized to their age and interests. The App brings together books from numerous acclaimed children's publishers. Each book comes alive with audio storytelling by celebrity actors, including spoken word Grammy winner Burton himself, and features light animations and related activities to enhance the story.

Similar to the original series, children journey with Burton on exciting real-life adventures. These in-app video field trips connect the stories children read to the world they live in and use a combination of newly produced video as well as classic segments from the TV show.

"I come from a family of teachers, and when I was offered the opportunity to host Reading Rainbow in 1983, I recognized immediately the value in using technology to inspire kids to read," said Burton. "Reading will never go out of style, but the tools used for learning are changing. I am excited to bring Reading Rainbow back so that parents who watched the show can now share that same feel-good experience with their own children but on a platform that resonates with today's digital kids."

The App's many features include a reward system in which children earn digital stickers to motivate a continued exploration of books and frequent reading. For parents, ReadingRainbow.com offers a companion website and dashboard to get updates regarding time their child spent reading, books read and suggestions for new stories based on the child's interests. "Family Reading Time" hints provide opportunities to discuss themes and lessons explored in each book.

At launch, the App will include 150 books and 16 video field trips. New content will be added to the service on a regular and frequent schedule expanding the library, themes and topics children can explore.

"We're excited to offer a safe experience designed just for kids," notes Asra Rasheed, RRKidz CEO. "We've created an easy-to-use subscription service for parents, allowing them to unlock the extensive Reading Rainbow library books and videos without the worry of approving and purchasing each item separately." The Reading Rainbow App is free for download on the iPad and includes the ability to fully explore the App, the islands, videos and to select one book to read. The subscription is now available for a limited-time introductory price of $9.99 a month or $29.99 for six months at the App Store.

RRKidz has partnered with leading children's publishers who understand the value of associating their brands with a name respected by millions. Launch partners include Little, Brown Books for YoungReaders, Holiday House, Charlesbridge Publishing, Kane Press, Sleeping Bear Press, Peachtree Publishers and Shenanigan Books.

The Reading Rainbow App is the inaugural project of RRKidz, Inc., a digital media company co-founded by Burton and entertainment veteran Mark Wolfe.

Local Wireless Network Upgrade Extends Access to Advanced Products, Services and Applications

DETROIT, Mich., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --AT&T* today announced the expansion of its mobile Internet network, by enhancing 10 cell sites along I-69, from Calhoun County to the Indiana state line,  that provides coverage for area residents and businesses.  The network enhancements extend access for advanced mobile services, devices and feature-rich audio and video content to customers who travel, live or work in these areas. 

"Job one in Battle Creek and across Calhoun County is attracting investment into our local economy," said state Sen. Mike Nofs (R-Battle Creek).  "AT&T's commitment to expanded mobile Internet service right here in our own backyard is a great tool for both job providers and residents and will help support everyone working in the region to strengthen our economy."

From 2009 through 2011, AT&T invested more than $1.5 billion in its wireless and wireline networks in Michigan.  AT&T is an industry leader in delivering the benefits of mobile Internet networks, devices and applications. With the nation's fastest mobile Internet network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities for an amazing wireless voice and data experience.

"Branch County is proud to welcome this exciting new investment from AT&T," said state Rep. Ken Kurtz (R-Coldwater). "Expanded mobile Internet coverage is a critical tool for small towns and rural communities like ours as we work to attract new jobs and new families to the region."

AT&T's mobile Internet network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the broadest international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 225 countries and data service in more than 200 countries. AT&T also offers voice and data roaming coverage on more than 135 major cruise ships, as well as mobile Internet services in more than 130 countries.

"Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience. As part of the communities located along the I-69 corridor, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that," said Jim Murray, president, AT&T Michigan.

"Demand for wireless bandwidth is growing rapidly, and we want to meet that demand for our customers," said Brian Ducharme, vice president and general manager, AT&T Indiana and Michigan. "We're excited to expand mobile Internet along this major highway and nearby homes and businesses."

JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IPC Systems, Inc., a leading provider of voice and electronic trading communications solutions to the world's top financial services firms, today announced a strategic partnership with Acme Packet, a leader in session delivery network solutions, to extend the value of IPC's Unigy platform more broadly across the enterprise. Partnering with Acme Packet enhances IPC's SIP based Unified Trading Communications platform to deliver applications across all users in the trading workflow, regardless of the communications device being used.  With this integration, trading floors can enhance the productivity of all users in the trade workflow, increase business agility, simplify legacy IP telephony infrastructures, and better control costs.

IPC's Unigy is the industry's first single, open standards Software Oriented Architecture (SOA) based platform for unified trading communications and applications. The key benefits Unigy offers are:

    --  Collaboration - simplifying and accelerating collaboration between
        traders and their middle and back office trade support teams so deals

    --  Management - dramatically improving communications system management,
        monitoring, and operations with the new Unigy Management System for
        greater flexibility, scalability and uptime

DailyHookup.com Re-launches as Nationwide Member-Driven Shopping Platform for Gay Men

Pivots from LGBT Daily Deals to Crowd-Sourced Curation

WASHINGTON, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- One year to the day after coming out during the 2011 Gay Pride festivities in New York, the Daily Hookup (http://dailyhookup.com) re-launches its social buying service with a fresh look and a new focus on "shopping for the modern man."

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120620/AQ27529)

"We learned a few important lessons from our beta run last summer," said John Stubbs, co-founder of The Daily Hookup.  "First, our members aren't isolated to cities - they are all over the United States and even the world.  Second, we don't need a top-down approach to define what is 'discerning', 'luxe' 'trendy' or 'posh'.  Our membership demands from brands what they demand from themselves: authenticity, honesty, support for community and attention to detail. Finally, we aren't really a daily deal company.  We're a niche platform for sharing brands that share our common vision."

The Daily Hookup has recreated itself as a national member-driven platform for curation.  Now, every brand is available online from anywhere in the US, and every brand is crowd-sourced and then personally presented by a Daily Hookup member.

Deals available on The Daily Hookup today include:

    --  Exclusive discounts on swimwear, socks and underwear from upcoming
        independent brands Skmpeez and Vivarati
    --  A trip to Spain and a spot in the Madrid Pride Parade from Zoom
        Vacations
    --  Half-off VIP access to the enormous Matinee party on June 23 during
        Pride in New York City.
Using a grassroots, member-driven approach, members select and recommend brands to other members across lifestyle categories including:

    --  Arts & Entertainment
    --  Food & Wine
    --  Fashion & Style
    --  Home & Decor
    --  Pets & Kids
    --  Spa & Salon
    --  Sports & Fitness
    --  Professional Services
    --  Travel & Leisure
    --  Weddings
The Daily Hookup launched in public beta in June 2011 with a mix of national and local offers in NYC, DC, LA and San Francisco chosen by 12 in-house curators.  The company succeeded by delivering more sales for DC-based shirt-makers Hugh & Crye than a similar offer with LivingSocial achieved.  The Daily Hookup followed up that success by selling 1,797 vouchers during a flash sale for NY-based clothier Bonobos.com, demonstrating industry-leading engagement at a high price point as more than 10% of The Daily Hookup's members purchased the offer for $60 (industry average for deal engagement: 0.1%; average voucher price: $30).  Click here to learn more about The Daily Hookup's experience with Bonobos and Hugh & Crye.

"The most important aspect of customer acquisition for Bonobos is having a partner that can tell our story, then close the deal with something compelling," said Ryan Urban, Founder of Bounce Exchange and former Head of Customer Acquisition for Bonobos.  "Unlike other 'deal sites,' The Daily Hookup had a true editorial focus, and more images, showcasing our brand in a phenomenal way. This was a great experience for us, and exceeded our expectations."

"Our community built The Daily Hookup from the ground up and demonstrated both quick ROI and extended loyalty for our brand partners," said John Stubbs, co-founder of The Daily Hookup.  "This is a natural evolution to empower our members to curate every deal for our community, and should deliver even more powerful results for brands looking to target gay men or break out on the Internet."

YouTube inspires over 100 million people to take social action (likes, shares, comments, etc.) every week, and Wildfire has seen 100 percent annual growth in the use of video social promotions over the last two years, as brands leverage sites like YouTube to engage with consumers. Now brands can use one platform to simultaneously publish social marketing content to YouTube, Facebook and also LinkedIn, Twitter and custom branded microsites. Wildfire's Social Marketing Suite provides advanced analytics and moderation capability to help maximize engagement of all content across each of these networks.

"Before this technology was released, it was expensive and labor intensive to reach users on YouTube, but with a custom branded YouTube Channel enabled by Wildfire, brands can now easily and affordably engage users in a variety of ways.

Genesis Gaming Solutions Granted New Patent

Patent Covers Card and Chip Detection System for Gaming Tables

LAS VEGAS, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis Gaming Solutions, Inc. announced that it has been granted a new patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office that covers a card and chip detection system for its BRAVO Pit & Poker Management System that improves player tracking and table management on casino gaming tables.

US Patent # 8,130,097 is for technology that detects objects placed on a gaming table with embedded light sensors located under the table felts. These light sensors are designed to read through fabric and can detect where objects such as cards and chips are placed on top of the table felt. When cards are dealt to each betting position or chips are placed in betting spots, the sensors are covered, signaling to the system that a hand is being played at that spot. 

With this technology, exact hand count information is available to dramatically improve player rating accuracy and correctly measure operational metrics. Dealer speed and efficiency can be easily evaluated and hands per hour goals can be set and measured on all game types.  In addition, by placing a sensor under any designated betting area, casino management can better track any proposition or bonus bets on a game, enabling more accurate data for cost-benefit analysis of a particular bonus bet.

The technology also provides complete flexibility of sensor placement depending on game play, player tracking and game management requirements. Because the sensors are installed under the table felt, they are undetectable by the players. In addition, the sensors are covered for protection against spills of any kind.

"We are delighted to receive this patent for what we believe will fundamentally change the way table rating information is collected and evaluated," said Randy Knust, President of Genesis Gaming Solutions, Inc. "Using exact hand counts when rating table play is always the preferred method over time-based ratings. This technology, utilized with our BRAVO Pit & Poker Management System, provides a cost effective solution for fair and accurate player ratings that is a benefit to both the casino and its customers."

About Genesis Gaming Solutions, Inc.

Genesis Gaming Solutions, Inc. is a leader in hardware and software solutions for casino pit and poker room management. The company's BRAVO product line includes BRAVO Pit, a complete table game management and player tracking system; BRAVO Poker, the most robust poker room management system available; and BRAVO Poker Live, the company's new mobile app that allows players to access up-to-the-minute live play, waiting list, tournament, and promotional activity at all participating poker rooms.

HealthFitness and StatBridge, LLC introduce iPad app to streamline employee health screening events

Tablet technology reduces screening time, enhances on-site health advising for employees

MINNEAPOLIS, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- HealthFitness announced today its partnership with StatBridge to develop its own proprietary biometric screening event-management tool utilizing an iPad-based software application that streamlines worksite health screening events and provides employees with immediate actionable information to improve their health status.

HealthFitness is a leading provider of population health management services, serving one out of five Fortune 100 companies in locations across the country. StatBridge LLC, a specialty IT developer of data management and connectivity solutions, is an outgrowth of Stat Technologies, Inc., which is among the nation's largest independent distributors of point-of-care testing products and supplies, serving wellness companies, medical offices and clinics, hospitals and health management program providers. The companies are based in Minnesota.

Since January 2010, HealthFitness has screened 392,500 participants at worksite screening events. HealthFitness measures height, weight, and blood cholesterol levels, and also assesses other health indicators. Health advisors at the screenings then use the results to provide a confidential, personalized session explaining the individual's risk factors and discussing resources available to improve health status. Data is seamlessly managed and individual biometric data is uploaded into personal health assessments within 24 hours. The process today--from registration through screening and including health advising--typically takes 30 minutes per employee.

Using the StatBridge technology, HealthFitness can significantly reduce the time employees are away from their jobs, while enhancing the information flow and accuracy of data used to advise each individual. The technology includes a dedicated server connecting the iPads, which are used by the screening staff to add data at each station visited by the employee. To ensure the privacy and security of the data, the server pulls information from the iPads automatically every 10 seconds, so no personal information resides on the iPad devices themselves.

"We are excited to roll out an iPad application that takes our proven screening process to a new level," said Paul Lotharius, president and CEO of HealthFitness. "We increase accuracy and event efficiency, and roll back our average screening and advising period by a third. For an employer screening 500 workers, that time efficiency can represent 75 more hours employees are at their jobs."

Employees can also take HealthFitness' INSIGHT® health risk assessment (HRA) on iPads during onsite screenings. The data gathered from the HRA is immediately integrated with biometric screening results to produce a customized, employee-specific report, and offers another layer of information for health advisors to assess and discuss with individual participants. With the opportunity to complete both the HRA and the screenings at one event, employees can gain a more complete picture of their current health status and are more likely to engage in appropriate health improvement programs.

Lotharius said HealthFitness worked closely with StatBridge in the development of the application, as its customized version merges the many integrated health management features and services HealthFitness offers its 250 clients. New capabilities, including a Spanish-language version, will be released in 2013.

"The goal is to engage employees so they want to participate in improving their health status. We're combining advanced technology with personalized interaction to make a health screening event not just informative, but fun," Lotharius said. "Being able to see your health screening results immediately, and reviewing your results with a health advisor using engaging graphics and editorial content, helps people decide to take that next step."

StatBridge is thrilled to partner with HFC in the development of this exciting wellness platform for connectivity, data collection and management, said co-owners Perry Witkin and Peter Brew. "StatBridge will allow wireless connectivity to the leading point of care devices for the first time, enabling HealthFitness screeners to use accurate data collection and management tools, along with innovative and user-friendly client applications which are critical for the efficient and cost effective performance of today's corporate wellness screening events," Witkin said.

About HealthFitness

HealthFitness, a subsidiary of The Trustmark Companies, is an award-winning, NCQA-accredited provider of health, fitness and condition management solutions. With 30-plus years of experience, HealthFitness is a proven leader and partner for infusing a culture of health.

AT&T 4G LTE Available In Nashville And Surrounding Counties

Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Nashville and Davidson County, including surrounding Maury, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson Counties, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. AT&T 4G LTE provides several benefits, including:

    --  Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet
        speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download,
        upload and game faster than ever before.
    --  Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including
        new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the HTC One(TM) X,
        Samsung Focus® 2, Nokia Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note(TM), and Pantech
        Element(TM) tablet.
    --  Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the
        processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how
        long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent
        the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming,
        two-way video calling and telemedicine.
    --  More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource,
        and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating
        more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better
        network experience.

AT&T invested nearly $1.3 billion in its Tennessee wireless and wireline networks from 2009 through 2011 with a focus on improving the company's mobile Internet coverage and overall performance of its networks.

AT&T Tennessee State President Gregg Morton said his company's local investment creates many advantages for those in Nashville and surrounding counties. "This 4G LTE launch is great news for Tennessee and is further evidence that when our elected leaders create an environment that favors investment, consumers benefit. The investment we've made to our AT&T networks alone has equated to nearly $1.3 billion over last three years, so bringing 4G LTE here is the latest example of this significant infrastructure investment," said Morton.

"Today's announcement is proof that consumers benefit when we create policies that favor investment in our state," said House Speaker Beth Harwell. "AT&T's investment builds on our reputation as a strong region for business investment."

"As our economy continues to recover, it is critical that businesses invest in infrastructure to support that recovery," said House Democratic Caucus Chair Mike Turner. "This is an investment in our future and in an information-driven economy, the ability for all the people of Nashville to have access to the latest communications technology is critical."

"Nashville has long had a reputation as a progressive city that is a great place to start or expand a business," said Ralph Schulz, president & CEO, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. "This announcement serves to underscore that we are open for business with the most modern wireless infrastructure to support our business community."

"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Nashville responds to what customers want from their mobile experience -- more, faster, on the best devices. Our Nashville customers now have our fastest available speeds with 4G LTE, and customers across Tennessee are enjoying fast speeds on the nation's largest 4G network," said Chris Percy, vice president and general manager of Mobility and Consumer Markets for AT&T Tennessee, Kentucky and southern Indiana. AT&T has also launched 4G LTE in Lawrenceburg, Tenn.

AT&T's 4G Network

AT&T customers have access to the nation's largest 4G network, covering more than 260 million people. According to recent third-party speed tests by PCWorld, AT&T 4G LTE speeds are faster than the competition. Testing in 13 cities showed that AT&T's combination of 4G LTE and HSPA+ technologies delivered faster download speeds than any other carrier tested.

Even as 4G LTE expands, AT&T customers are able to enjoy widespread, ultra-fast and consistent 4G speeds on their compatible device as they move in and out of LTE areas. AT&T has two 4G networks that work together for customers, LTE and HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul. With other carriers, when you travel outside of their LTE coverage area, you're on a much slower 3G network.

Limited 4G LTE availability in select markets. Deployment ongoing. 4G LTE device and data plan required. Up to 10x claim compares 4G LTE download speeds to industry average 3G download speeds. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. 4G speeds not available everywhere. Learn more about 4G LTE at att.com/network.

Metaforic Extends Software Immune System To Protect Applications Running On Apple iOS Devices

Security Products Protect Apps from Tampering, Malware and Hackers

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Metaforic, the innovative software security company, today announced that its world-class software immune system has been extended to protect iOS applications on Apple iPhones and iPads and other Apple devices.

In 2011, more than 200 million iOS devices were sold with more than 14 billion Apple apps downloaded[i]. This proliferation of smartphone apps has unfortunately been accompanied by an explosion of malware on these devices. By extending its software security to iOS applications, Metaforic empowers developers to create secure and tamper-proof applications.

"The proliferation of iPhones, iPads and Android mobile devices greatly increases the risk of identity theft, fraud and espionage. This is particularly evident as the public's use of these devices grows for financial transactions and companies allow employees to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to their workplaces," said Dr. C. Warren Axelrod, research director for financial services at U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit. "Metaforic's unique tamper-proofing approach to application, data and transaction security provides an effective and efficient way to harden apps against malicious attacks."

Using Metaforic technology, application developers can automatically infuse a patented immune system into their iOS apps to ensure they can defend themselves from malware, subversion, tampering, or other attacks, protecting both themselves and their users. Building security into the application is particularly critical on iOS as Apple restricts third-party security applications, such as anti-malware offerings or BYOD protection.

Metaforic's software immunization protection offers a critical weapon to counter the growing onslaught of threats targeting consumers, financial institutions and corporations. The Juniper Networks Mobile Threat Center's 2011 Mobile Threats Report* states that malware has more than doubled on smartphone platforms in 2011[ii]. The same report also notes that less than one in 20 smartphones and tablets have third-party security software installed, despite a steady increase in threats.

Metaforic enables application creators to protect their apps against such threats, even in exposed environments, where there may be no third-party security available and the users' devices may already be rooted or jail-broken.

Metaforic defeats some of the most common attacks on iOS applications, including:

    --  Repackaging applications with malicious malware
    --  Attacks on communications such as MITM
    --  Signature or encryption key subversion
    --  Malware that changes application logic
