Unisys Unveils New Suite of Mobility Solutions to Bring Order to Mobility Mayhem

New offerings help enterprises and government agencies manage, secure and support growing needs of mobile users

BLUE BELL, Pa., June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced the availability of its Mobility Solutions Suite of services. These services are designed to help organizations manage, secure and support mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets - as well as their applications - and lead to improved employee productivity and customer service.

The explosion in use of consumer devices is causing businesses and government agencies to rethink the way they serve a new generation of increasingly mobile employees, customers and constituents. CIOs and enterprise IT departments are quickly being forced to adopt cost-effective ways to manage and support mobile end users while maintaining the security of sensitive, mission-critical corporate data and resources.

"The mobility revolution is changing the way work gets done, and how people connect with data and with each other, and it's changing what people expect from product and service providers, their employers and their governments," said Terry Hartmann, vice president, global security solutions, Unisys. "Organizations need to move quickly to respond to these new requirements or risk being left behind. Our new services are designed to help reduce the complexity of enterprise mobile access, security and support, and guide clients on how to take advantage of new opportunities to transform the user experience."

Building on Unisys' experience in providing end-user IT support as well as security and application modernization services, Unisys Mobility Solutions help organizations address those challenges. Unisys consultants work with clients to assess their employees' and customers' mobile interactions; build an overall mobility framework; modernize and develop mobile applications; develop consistent policies for mobile device usage; manage access to enterprise data and resources to provide real-time support for end users on the go; and help organizations plan for new growth opportunities.

The Unisys Mobility Solutions set includes the following services:

Mobility Assessment Services

Unisys consultants work with clients to assess how their employees and customers currently use mobile devices to interact with the enterprise and how the organization could adapt its business processes to better serve mobile workers and clients. Unisys assessment services include an overview of the current state of the infrastructure including mobile device management (MDM) processes; a gap analysis that outlines specific threats and opportunities for improvement: and a roadmap for closing the gaps and securely integrating mobile users into the enterprise.

Mobile Application Development Services

Drawing on long experience in secure, mission-critical applications, Unisys works with organizations to modernize and port their legacy applications to mobile devices, as well as create innovative new mobile applications. Key security features and application performance monitoring are designed into each mobile application, along with capabilities that allow applications to run on multiple devices and platforms.

Mobile User Authentication Services

According to the Unisys Security Index - a global survey of consumer security attitudes and concerns - people consistently view identity theft as the top threat to their security. To address these concerns, Unisys Mobile User Authentication Services help enterprises protect business-critical resources by authenticating users' identities based on multiple factors such as passwords, location or biometrics which leverage inbuilt mobile device cameras and microphones. Based on these and other factors, mobile users can be granted or denied access to web portals, corporate applications or physical checkpoints. The organization can require different authentication methods for different people, depending on user roles, usage patterns and the type of transaction they are undertaking.

MyWork Services for Mobile

Unisys MyWork Services for Mobile are subscription-based managed services designed to help an IT service desk operation improve the productivity and uptime of mobile end users through a dedicated and complete mobile device help desk. MyWork Services for Mobile enables IT support teams to enforce policies for managing mobile devices, minimize risk and enhance security for end users, and track mobile assets and data. The Unisys service provides dedicated support for mobile users without the need for clients' IT organizations to buy or install on-premise MDM software, and eliminates the challenge for IT organizations to stay current with training on the growing matrix of mobile operating system options and devices.

Comprising Unisys MyWork Services for Mobile are:

    --  Mobile Device Management. These services help organizations deploy and
        manage employee-owned and company-provided smartphones and tablets on
        enterprise networks. Through these services, Unisys helps clients create
        and implement corporate governance policies for mobile devices; create
        procedures for securing corporate data such as remote device tracking,
        device locking and data wiping; establish an enterprise application
        store to manage corporate mobile apps; deliver break/fix field support
        services; and provide a service desk that gives mobile end users a
        single point of contact to quickly resolve service issues including
        remote device support. The Unisys MDM offerings cover mobile platforms
        such as Apple iPhones and iPads, Google Android-based devices,
        BlackBerrys and Windows Mobile devices.
    --  End-User Experience Monitoring. Using predictive analytics tools, this
        service monitors application, device and network performance to
        proactively look for issues that affect end-user productivity. IT
        support teams can then rapidly identify the root cause of an impending
        service event - such as slow application response due to a smartphone's
        sudden switch from a 4G to a 3G network - and fix the issue or alert the
        end user before they even notice.
    --  Support for Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT). Mobile device
        loss and theft can cost even a single organization more than $6 million
        a year. To help clients safeguard business assets, Unisys is partnering
        with Intel to support laptops and Ultrabook(TM) devices that include
        Intel AT. An Intel AT-enabled laptop or device can be "bricked"
        (disabled) automatically or remotely with the help of Unisys service
        desk professionals when necessary and restored to its original state if
        the authorized user finds it again. This support complements Unisys'
        extensive security solution offerings.
"Protecting computing assets and confidential data is a huge challenge for CIOs and CISOs," said Anand Pashupathy, general manager of Intel's Anti-Theft Technology business unit. "Intel® Anti-Theft Technology's device and data protection technology gives those executives peace of mind by addressing the challenge head-on. Intel is excited that Unisys, with its strength in enterprise IT services, is making support for Intel® Anti-Theft Technology capabilities part of Unisys Mobility Solutions."

Yippy, Inc. (YIPI) and MuseGlobal to Merge, Offering Unified Access to a Data Cloud of Curated Content

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Yippy, Inc. (OTCQX: YIPI) (http://www.yippy.com) ("Yippy" or the "Company"), a unified search company known for its clustering technology,  reported that the Company entered into an agreement to merge with MuseGlobal, a leading provider of content integration and data virtualization services.

The merger of Yippy and MuseGlobal combines two wholly synergistic companies that bring together an exclusive and vast range of resources and abilities that no other search or information-based company in the world possesses including majors such as Google, Microsoft and HP/Autonomy. The combined companies will create an information cloud that will represent a significant shift in the business of enterprise, vertical and consumer search with unlimited consumer and commercial uses.  The Companies' registered trademark "Welcome to the Cloud" embodies its combined data virtualization initiatives.

Yippy.com (formally http://www.clusty.com) is an award-winning deep research engine developed out of Carnegie Mellon University. The programs were acquired by Yippy in May 2010 from Vivisimo, Inc., an industry leading Enterprise Search company that was recently acquired (May 2012) by International Business Machines (IBM).  In conjunction with the purchase of the search engine software, Yippy acquired from Vivisimo/IBM a transferable, unlimited lifetime perpetual license for the software known as Velocity for web-based search applications. Velocity is the most advanced enterprise software solution with patented clustering methods that are the keys to the future of enterprise and consumer search. IBM currently holds a 10% stake in Yippy, Inc.

"Big Data is a major problem for search engines. If you can't cluster search results and dynamically rank and normalize unlimited information sources whether it is a consumer search engine such as Bing or Google, or an enterprise model like HP/Autonomy, in my opinion you're out of the game of search in 3-5 years.  The future is Data Virtualization or Data as a Service in the cloud," stated Rich Granville, CEO, Yippy Inc.

He continues, "Google is far less effective today due to their index growing from 3 billion pages in 2003 to 50 billion in 2011. It is information overload, and clustering is the only logical answer to that problem. Since IBM just acquired the clustering patent from Vivisimo, and Yippy is only other company with rights/protections under that patent for consumer web-based search. What are these major search engines going to do?"

Through many use case tests Management looked for internal weaknesses in Velocity and none could be found. Through these tests Management noted that the only challenges with Velocity as well as all other enterprise and consumer solutions are the need for connectors and authenticators to the vast amount of information sources, taxonomies and data structures throughout the digital world. Creating and maintaining these connectors and authenticators is very expensive, time consuming and done by trial and error, and are typically called "hacks". These hacks significantly impede development time and drive up overall costs for enterprise or consumer solutions making true cloud based data virtualization unobtainable to small and medium businesses.

Instead of using expensive and time consuming engineered hacks, MuseGlobal has built a fully documented Source Factory that monitors, maintains and updates the Muse Smart Connectors on a 24/7 basis and guarantees high sustainable and scalable use for a fraction of the cost.  With over 6,500 pre-built Smart Connectors, MuseGlobal deploys and maintains the largest and most versatile library of content connections in the world.  Muse Smart Connectors are available out-of-the-box for content federation and harvesting to public and private, structured and unstructured data in any format and across any location, including enterprise applications, web 2.0, social media, and proprietary content sources. These Connectors are the fundamental root of Data Virtualization.

"Muse's data virtualization platform was built to simplify the daunting task of accessing, aggregating and filtering the staggering amounts of data from an ever increasing variety of external and internal data sources.  With Yippy as a partner, we can feed complete, yet targeted information into a data cloud to deliver best-of-breed content to people in their personal and professional lives," stated Kristina Bivins, CEO, MuseGlobal, Inc.

"The Yippy - Muse combination creates a data cloud of curated content that doesn't exist today," continued Bivins.   "With Muse's data virtualization platform as its backbone, driving sustainable, repeatable processes for authentication and connection to multiple disparate data sources, and Yippy's custom search wrappers serving clustered, individualized, real-time data results,  the Yippy-Muse data cloud is the new paradigm for any data-driven consumer or enterprise use case."

Granville added, "These two terrific engines running in parallel will provide the best quality and most accurate result sets. Speed to results is crucial and by spreading the load over two engines makes for a more efficient data flow. Templates will be quickly designed and produced to make potential customers excited about the program offerings allowing for individualized real time customization of user interfaces through technology designed by Macte Labs, a recently announced Yippy acquisition. Yippy, MuseGlobal and Macte Labs will be able to stay ahead of trends and adapt "on the fly" by taking a parallel approach to content and program capabilities."

"The combination of Yippy, MuseGlobal and Macte Labs will increase the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 53 million to approximately 67 million. The combined parties have over 50 employees in 4 countries and with current combined revenues in the upper 7 figures and rising quickly," concluded Granville. 

"We are in a position to underprice and out-produce the competition by unimaginable numbers through our Data Virtualization model. We're talking 50% savings across the board for data services provided by companies such as HP/Autonomy.  We have the finest programs, services and client attention available anywhere.  Welcome to the Cloud," concluded Bivins.

About MuseGlobal, Inc.

Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, MuseGlobal sets the standard for Smart Connectors through content harvesting and federation technologies to search and access content in any format on any type system. MuseGlobal's data virtualization solutions support access to structured and unstructured data in both private and public networks, from enterprise class applications to social networks.

Verdiem Offers Free IT Energy Management Subscription To Cisco EnergyWise Customers

Cisco Catalyst Switch Customers Can Take Advantage of Verdiem's Leading Energy Management Tool during the Lifecycle of the Switch

SAN DIEGO, June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Cisco Live, Cisco's annual IT and communications conference, Verdiem announced the availability of the Verdiem EnergyWise Accelerator as part of the Cisco EnergyWise Fast-Track program - a free subscription to the Verdiem Surveyor IT energy management solution for Cisco Catalyst 3K- and 4K-series switch customers.

The Verdiem EnergyWise Accelerator allows an organization to gain visibility into the energy usage across its fleet of information and communications technology (ICT) devices. For as long as the organization runs a Cisco Network with Cisco EnergyWise, it can freely monitor the energy consumption of its Cisco network equipment and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices such as IP phones, wireless access points and security cameras. For these same devices, organizations can control energy usage to lower energy costs for up to one year. Also for one year, Cisco customers can monitor their entire PC fleet's energy usage and enforce power saving policies for up to 1,000 PCs. Typical savings range from 30 to 50 percent which quickly adds up to thousands, if not millions, of dollars in energy savings.

"Enterprise-wide monitoring of energy usage with granularity for different device types is important to establish a baseline energy profile. Once baselines are created, businesses can lower operating costs by controlling the energy consumption of ICT devices, particularly the PC, which is the number one consumer of IT energy. With the Accelerator, Verdiem Surveyor now makes the PC a full-featured EnergyWise device," said John Scumniotales, president and CEO of Verdiem. "The Verdiem EnergyWise Accelerator gives Cisco customers a convenient way to evaluate EnergyWise and to begin to realize the impressive reductions in energy expenditures from their PC fleet and other ICT devices."

As part of the Verdiem EnergyWise Accelerator, Surveyor 6 extends its leading EnergyWise support with a solution for hot-plugging of Cisco EnergyWise connected PCs. Hot-plugging allows mobile laptop users to securely reconnect and automatically rejoin a Cisco EnergyWise network as they change their physical location. 

The Cisco Developer Network unites Cisco with third-party developers of hardware and software to deliver tested interoperable solutions to joint customers. As a Preferred Solution Developer, Verdiem has worked closely with Cisco to deliver enhanced solutions that deliver greater interoperability with Cisco networking solutions. Verdiem also shares Cisco's strong commitment to customer service and satisfaction, has completed interoperability verification testing based on criteria set forth by Cisco, and can provide its customers 24 hour, 7 days a week customer support. For more information on Free IT Energy Management Subscription interoperability with CiscoEnergyWise go to: http://developer.cisco.com/web/partner/search?p_p_col_pos=1&accountId000000Y9p2nAAB.

"We have collaborated closely with Verdiem for over three years developing the management capabilities of EnergyWise," said Cisco's Jeff Reed, vice president and general manager of Cisco's Unified Access Business Unit. "This energy management offer will help our mutual customers unlock the potential of EnergyWise based on Verdiem's proven results and innovative approach. Working together with Verdiem offers Cisco customers significant cost savings, along with tremendous environmental benefits."

* Interoperability testing is designed to simulate typical customer configurations, and does not replace the need for on-site testing in conjunction with actual implementation.

About Verdiem

Verdiem helped define the PC power management market and has now extended its leadership into IT energy management and efficiency software. Verdiem Surveyor enables customers to centrally control and reduce the energy used by PCs, Macs, and network devices running Cisco EnergyWise without impacting end users. More than 600 corporations, government agencies and universities have deployed Surveyor on nearly 2 million devices. Most customers experience ROI within six to 12 months. Based in Seattle, Verdiem is backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. More information is available at http://www.verdiem.com or (206) 838-2800.

TeleCommunication Systems' SMS 9-1-1 Offers a New Lifeline for the Hearing-Impaired and People at Risk in Noise-Sensitive Situations

Text Messaging Provides a Mainstream Communication Pathway for Emergency Services

ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile communication technology, today announced its SMS 9-1-1 solution is giving a voice to both the hearing-impaired community and people in noise-sensitive emergencies.

TCS is the largest U.S.-based provider of text messaging infrastructure, with software that has delivered almost one trillion text messages over the last 12 months. SMS has proven to be a mainstream communications method, and requests to provide 9-1-1 services through this heavily-used medium have become more frequent and strident. The TCS SMS 9-1-1 product suite provides a day-to-day reliable and cost-effective solution that meets Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) requirements, while providing the public with a mainstream communication channel to contact emergency services rapidly via text messaging. The TCS Direct IP last-mile solutions overcomes the inherent limitations of using TTY for final text session delivery, and the TCS SMS 9-1-1 solution uses currently deployed location technologies to automatically locate the emergency texter.

SMS 9-1-1 Products and Features:

    --  TCS Geospatial Emergency Messaging (GEM9-1-1(TM)) PSAP Client: This
        full-featured, lightweight, browser-based web client is a graphical user
        interface (GUI) used by PSAPs to manage multiple SMS to 911 sessions.
        The GEM9-1-1 client provides one-to-one direct conversation between the
        emergency texter and the PSAP call taker and further provides for the
        PSAP call taker to efficiently manage incoming requests or to transfer
        ongoing sessions to other call takers as the need arises.
    --  TCS Text Positioning Center (TPC): This platform provides automatic text
        location determination, text session management and text routing at its
        core. The TPC provides the PSAP flexibility in choosing a variety of
        last-mile options for text delivery, while relieving the need for
        additional services within the wireless carrier's network and at the
        PSAP IT office.
    --  Last-Mile Options for PSAPs: For PSAP integration, a last-mile option
        offers secure web client and IP-based Application Programming Interfaces
        (API) or a TTY option for PSAPs that choose this path.
    --  Forward Compatible with NG 9-1-1: In addition to GEM911 and TTY text
        delivery to the PSAP, the TCS SMS 9-1-1 solution is fully
        forward-compatible with PSAPs who have deployed NENA i3 NG 9-1-1
        systems. This allows wireless carriers to deliver text messages to PSAPs
        today and as they transition to NG 9-1-1 in the future.
    --  Uses Existing Wireless Network Infrastructure: By utilizing the wireless
        carrier's existing infrastructure, the TCS SMS9-1-1 product suite
        minimizes the need for additional resources and streamlines deployment.
    --  Robust Full-Session Management: The TCS SMS 9-1-1 solution completely
        manages SMS communication sessions regardless of transfers between
        PSAPs, with feature-rich transcription that logs call taker attributes
        and time stamp metrics.
    --  No Need to Upgrade PSAP CPE/CTI Equipment: With the TCS TPC platform
        providing legacy TTY delivery or IP browser-based delivery, PSAPs are
        not required to expend financial resources on call taker station
        upgrades.
    --  Immediate Deployment: The TCS product suite is end-to-end and enables
        immediate SMS 9-1-1 for wireless carriers and PSAPs alike.
Supporting Quote:

    --  Chris Nabinger, senior vice president, Safety and Security Group, TCS,
        said: "It is estimated that about 70 percent of current 9-1-1 calls
        today are placed from wireless phones and more than two trillion text
        messages were delivered in the last 12 months alone. As the pioneer in
        E9-1-1 and the North American leader in text messaging, TCS is
        leveraging its expertise to introduce a new 9-1-1 solution to anticipate
        upcoming FCC mandates and enable a new emergency communication pathway
        to keep up with mainstream user requirements. TCS is pleased to offer
        the SMS 9-1-1 solution to wireless carriers so that upon installation,
        PSAPs are able to communicate with the public via SMS."
Since deploying the first U.S. wireless E9-1-1 solution in 1998, TCS has been leading public safety solutions for wireless E9-1-1, NG9-1-1 and E1-1-2. TCS supports half of all U.S. wireless E9-1-1 calls, serving more than 140 million wireless and IP-enabled devices. With the nation's only non-carrier TL 9000-certified wireless and VoIP E9-1-1 Network Operations Center (NOC), TCS' highly-reliable E9-1-1 solutions ensure that a subscriber's emergency call routes to the appropriate PSAP and automatically pinpoints the caller's location information. TCS is an innovator in public safety technology; the company holds over 200 patents, with a total of 30 issued public safety related patents and another 55 pending worldwide.

important lineup of HD channels will be accessible for consumers on IP-enabled devices in
highest and original satellite picture quality and without using internet connectivity.
SAT-IP will become an official standard which is open to all manufacturers and allows them
to develop a neutral environment of multiple devices. Current prototypes already allow for
the reception of up to eight HD TV [http://www.onastra.com/278192/hdtv ] programmes on
eight different screen devices at home.

    Thomas Wrede, Vice President Reception Systems, said: "SAT-IP is a quantum leap for
the industry and the TV viewers and shows SES' role in pioneering technological
developments in the media and TV industry. We see how consumers are increasingly
complementing their TV viewing experience with alternative devices. With SAT-IP, we put
ourselves at the top of the trend and ensure that viewers can watch satellite TV
[http://www.onastra.com/2124/en ] potentially on any IP-based device at home and with an
unrivalled flexibility when they move around.

    "Our new way of connecting devices will allow millions of consumers to enjoy satellite
TV on multiple screens with the highest convenience and quality. With SAT-IP, we also give
an important impulse to the industry, creating an open standard that allows manufacturers
to realise innovative distribution solutions."

    The first SAT-IP based products are scheduled to be available later this year.

    The renowned SES Industry Days, currently in its fifth year, is a platform for the
industry to come together and share and develop new ideas. The event offers opportunities

NovaSparks Launches a pure FPGA-based Order Book Capability for Cash Equities in the US and Europe

The first company to put all market data processes into an FPGA platform to achieve deterministic nanosecond speeds for processing the feed, building and managing the Order Book

BOSTON and PARIS, June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NovaSparks, an FPGA market data solution company, launches a pure FPGA Order Book Builder capability. The Order Book building function uses the NovaSparks FPGA Market Data Matrix(TM) architecture and provides deterministic nanosecond speeds.  NovaSparks is the first company to commercialize a pure FPGA appliance architecture for market data processing.

The entire data processing of the feed, including the Order Book, achieves deterministic processing latency of 880 nanoseconds (ns) on average. Unlike CPU architectures or hybrid approaches that use a CPU with an FPGA card, the pure FPGA architecture achieves constant, deterministic latency regardless of data rates, the number of venues and symbols, or the number of downstream users.   

The FPGA Book Builder outputs a single format, called a normalized stream, regardless of the data format and protocol used by the venue.  This normalized output enables trading teams to develop algos for one venue then scale the algo across multiple venues without changing the core algo logic. The depth of book is configurable by the user.

"We believe there is no faster view of the market because no one else has put all market data processing functions together into an FPGA architecture," explains Yves Charles, CEO of NovaSparks. "This announcement proves the FPGA Market Data Matrix architecture can tackle complex tasks and meet the functionality and performance needs of the market," suggests Charles.   

"We are excited to see deterministic trading solutions come to market," states Kevin Beadles, Managing Director, Lime Brokerage.  "Traders want consistently high-speed reaction times to market signals.  A deterministic order book will give them the reliable speeds they need, especially in 'bursty' markets," concludes Beadles.

Senior Director of Research for Aite Group, Adam Honore comments, "The performance gap between pure FPGA architectures and hybrid approaches is widening. As more features become available through hardware acceleration, Trading Firms will have to routinely evaluate whether or not their solution remains competitive in the market."

Live Demos of the pure FPGA Order Book with packet-by-packet latency tracking will be held at the SIFMA expo June 19(th), New York.

TAAP Releases Windows Phone 7 Applications with Azure Integration

BOREHAMWOOD, England, June 11, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    TAAP, the mobile application specialist, has released new mobile applications for
Windows Phone 7, which allow data to be transferred to and from mobile devices and secure
cloud-based Microsoft Azure servers.

    The software applications are designed for any Windows Phone 7 handset, which are
typically low cost and high function, and combined with cloud-server technology they
reduce the need for organisations to make large capital outlays for storage technology or
enterprise-orientated devices.

    The new crop of mobile software applications from TAAP include: face to face
fundraising, property maintenance/inventory, vehicle inspections, and vehicle deliveries.
These enable users to collect, transfer, and store rich data such as free text,
pre-defined drop-down options, photographs, annotation, diagrams, and electronic
signatures.

    TAAP's clients benefit from having access to new applications which have been upgraded
from the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 operating system, and will be able to use new 'iPhone style'
interfaces on a range of devices from hardware manufacturers such as Nokia, Samsung, HTC,
Motorola and so on.

    Windows Phone 7 offers a stable platform for applications to run on, which is crucial
if organisations are using it as part of a system to manage business-critical operational
tasks, such as field service visits, deliveries, capturing data etc.

    Microsoft Azure is a cloud-based server solution designed so that organisations can
store and access their data via the web. TAAP's applications link seamlessly with Azure to
provide comprehensive systems covering front line mobile operations through to back-office
storage. TAAP provides secure customised web portals which allow organisations to view and
use their data which is accessed from secure servers.

    Steve Higgon, Product Architect explained "The combination of Windows Phone 7 devices
loaded with TAAP's mobile software applications, and the Microsoft Azure server
capability, means we can offer clients a relatively inexpensive way to mobilise their
workforce. Clients have the management information that they require to run their
operations efficiently, available in real-time, and they can achieve this with minimal
outlay compared to the purchase of often expensive hardware purchases."

their operations using hand held computers. Its award-winning agile application platform
allows new systems to be delivered "OnTAAP", that is, fast, flexibly and at low cost.

ESPOO, Finland, June 11, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    With new management, significant financial backing, and introduction of wireless
functionality, the developer of an innovative training guidance solution now aims for
global leadership.

    The Omegawave Solution

    The Omegawave training solution provides coaches and sport organizations instantly
relevant and personalized training advice on athletes.

    The solution measures the functional state of an athlete's cardiac, metabolic and
central nervous systems in just two minutes while the athlete is at rest.

    The Omegawave solution helps coaches to optimize training and recovery processes,

developed in the U.S. Its patented technology was originally based on physiological data
from 10,000 high-performing athletes and has been validated in countless studies conducted
by sports and research institutes worldwide.

    Already at the pre-market phase Omegawave has reached a significant reference position
with the U.S. Track & Field Olympic Committee, Olympic federations worldwide, premier
European football teams such as Manchester United and FC Barcelona, and various American
NFL, NHL, MLB, and MLS teams.

    Aiming for global leadership

    Omegawave now starts the global commercializing of its technology. As a first step,
Omegawave introduces wireless functionality for its measurement solution:

    "Our new wireless application allows a full team to be assessed in even half an hour,
compared to days it took with conventional methods in labs. We are also investing heavily
in consumer applications and aim for a global leading position in both professional and
consumer markets. Omegawave is the next generation of sports performance monitoring and
readiness measurement for people who take sports seriously," says Juha Pinomaa, CEO of
Omegawave.

    New management and funding

    A new company and headquarters have been set up in Finland, with new management and
board of directors, backed up by investment from Conor Venture Partners.

    Omegawave's new CEO is Juha Pinomaa. Pinomaa has served as President of Suunto and
held a number of executive positions at Nokia. Anssi Vanjoki, Chairman of Amer Sports and

inventors of the patented Omegawave technology - Leo Masakov, Research Director, and Val
Nasedkin, VP Business Development - will continue in the new company.

RenderX Introduces CloudFormatting Services

RenderX's Cloud-based solution allows on-demand XML-to-PDF rendering from any application

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RenderX (http://www.renderx.com) announced today the initial release of the CloudFormatting services for creating documents on the fly through simple web-based interfaces. The solution allows any customer to leverage the power of dynamic PDF reporting for their solutions with little to no programming. The service receives XML content from any application, dynamically formats that content through the customer's design templates including text, tables, images, and barcodes to produce PDFs that can be dynamically streamed back to the application or sent directly to the web browser.

RenderX has been piloting the concept with several customers to tune performance over the past several months.

"With zero downtime, MSO is delivering on-demand statistics for the more than 2,000,000 requests over the past six months. The performance on this new software is truly remarkable," said Del Ruiz, Executive Director of MSO (http://www.meetscoresonline.com). MSO is the leader in managing and delivering official USA gymnastics scores to the general public, with over 110,000 athletes and professionals covering about 3,500 competitions per year.

Len Schultz, partner at WineQuest (http://www.winequest.com), used RenderX's CloudFormatter service for dynamic creation of wine menus for leading restaurant and hotel chains throughout the country. "RenderX put together a great solution for us giving our 700+ restaurant and hotel locations the ability to create and print in-house perfectly formatted, perfectly spelled, and perfectly organized wine menus on the fly. Over 6,000 menus (with very complex formatting rules) have been reliably generated in real time over the past six months."

RenderX will provide drop-in code in various languages such as C#, Java or JavaScript so that anyone can use the service for formatting documents. Users can pick from a selection of pre-built templates or design their own using RenderX's VisualXSL template designer. Submittals to the service can be through SOAP or REST services, returning PDFs dynamically in a stream for presentment in the web browser or for storage on the local disk. Since the process runs 100% in memory on the Cloud, no information from any process is ever stored on RenderX's Cloud.

A version of the system which stamps created pages with a small marketing message is free for anyone to use, with unstamped versions of the service priced per volume. The CloudFormatter(TM) client can be downloaded for free from http://www.renderx.com/tools/cloudformatter.html.

BrightEdge Announces Local Search Management

On the Heels of Google Introducing Google+ Local, BrightEdge is First to Innovate Again

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BrightEdge, the global leader in enterprise SEO, today announced Local Search Management, enabling clients to optimize their search rankings for location-specific searches. The development of Local Search Management addresses the growing importance of local results, which affects some of the most common searches for terms like "coffee," "ATM," or "hotel."

BrightEdge's announcement follows on the heels of Google's recent move to support local search as part of Google+ Local, and BrightEdge S3 is the first SEO platform to support the new approach. With this announcement brands can be assured that BrightEdge keeps them ahead of the changing search landscape, and will be first to deliver innovations they need.

With BrightEdge's Local Search Management, industry leading companies like HeBS Digital, a New York City hospitality marketing agency with over 1,500 hotel clients, can optimize content more effectively across geographic locations to give hotels a competitive SEO advantage. Local Search Management easily identifies variations in search performance based on geographic location of the query. "Geography is paramount in travel," said Jason Price, Executive Vice President at HeBS Digital. "Getting visibility on how the hotel ranks based on the origin of the search allows us to make informed decisions on how to optimize SEO. At HeBS Digital, hyper-local SEO is core to the business of managing our hotel clients and giving them the competitive advantage they need to grow the direct online channel."

"Our 2,000+ brands rely on BrightEdge to innovate fast and keep them ahead of the changes made in search, like Google's recent Google+ Local announcement," said Jim Yu, CEO of BrightEdge. "We are very pleased to be the first SEO platform to offer Local Search Management in an integrated platform, and to announce it with the support of an industry leader like HeBS Digital, and then introduce it to our rapidly-growing base of top-tier travel, financial services, consumer, and retail brands that we support worldwide."

"We always suspected that the brands that rank on common terms varied massively by location, and our research powered by BrightEdge Local Search Management proves it," said Brad Mattick, Vice President of Marketing at BrightEdge. "We applied our new and unique Local Search Management technology across typical hospitality and travel search terms in five key metropolitan areas: New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston. The results showed huge variation in rankings for brands ranging from 22% to 63% per search term. Being able to show local SEO performance side-by-side across locations in a single glance surfaces gaps by location that brands can now better target for improved organic search rankings."

Available to select BrightEdge customers and partners today, BrightEdge Local Search Management includes:

    --  Support for local search tracking in 6 major cities: New York, Chicago,
        Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and London

    --  Visibility into search from local feeder markets as well as
        corresponding destination venues
    --  Local support for local search with BrightEdge Customer Success staff

This announcement comes on the heels of BrightEdge's recent social SEO case studies with Twitter, inclusion in Facebook's Preferred Marketing Developer program, and its patent for SEO Share of Voice. BrightEdge has established an unmatched track record of innovation and achieved a clear leadership position in SEO technology.

Two Leaders In Water - Pentair And Watertronics - Team Up To Create Awareness For The Benefits Of Rain Water Harvesting And Reuse

Co-Marketing Agreement Aims To Educate Businesses On How To Achieve Measurable Results In Water And Energy Conservation

DELAVAN, Wis., June 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As clean water grows increasingly scarce globally, more and more businesses are adopting plans to harvest rainwater locally. Recognizing this need for improved water conservation in both new and existing building projects, Pentair (NYSE: PNR) and Watertronics have combined forces to educate architects, consultants and engineering firms on how they can provide innovative rainwater harvesting systems that result in the health of plants and landscaping, and in year-round savings through reduced municipal water needs for their clients.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120307/CG65728LOGO)

In support of this initiative, a new content rich website has been launched - http://www.rainwaterinnovation.com - which includes case studies, white papers, video content and more. Featuring Watertronic's advanced SkyHarvester Water Conservation Systems, the new website provides useful information on single-source solutions for every step of the water management cycle, from system design and manufacturing to installation supervision and long-term support.

A case study featured on the website details the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee project developed by Watertronics engineers in 2010 to reduce a residence hall's municipal water usage for irrigation by nearly 100 percent. "The custom SkyHarvester system we installed collects 11,000 gallons of water on a single one inch rain event, supplying two weeks of irrigation and reducing  potable water consumption." according to Ken Sieth, director of engineering for Watertronics.

Pentair's interest in water conservation goes beyond being a major component supplier, demonstrating its commitment to long term sustainable water conservation in its home state of Minnesota. As a one of the highest-profile sustainable water solutions in sports, Pentair partnered with the major league baseball Minnesota Twins in 2010 to develop and install the ballpark's innovative Rain Water Recycle System (RWRS). The RWRS captures, conserves and reuses rain water for irrigating the playing field and washing down the stadium seats, thereby reducing the ballpark's need for municipal water by over 50 percent.

Experian RentBureau to receive rental payment history data from Riverstone Residential Group

Leading U.S. multifamily property manager to enhance collections, decrease bad debt, improve on-time resident rent payment by furnishing rental payment history to Experian

COSTA MESA, Calif., June 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian® RentBureau®, the leading provider of rental payment history data to the multifamily industry, today announces the agreement of Riverstone Residential Group to contribute its residents' payment data to Experian RentBureau. With the collaboration, Riverstone becomes the largest fee-management apartment firm to furnish rental payment history to Experian RentBureau, enabling faster debt collection, enhancing protection from lease skips, and encouraging residents living in Riverstone rental communities to pay rent in a timely and comprehensive manner.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Riverstone and receive valuable rental payment history data from the company's Riverstone-owned and fee-managed communities across the country," said Brannan Johnston, vice president and managing director for Experian RentBureau. "By furnishing resident rental payment history data to Experian RentBureau, Riverstone will immediately enhance the effectiveness of its rental collections while decreasing bad debt levels and encouraging proactive rental payment practices among its residents, leading directly to increases in net operating income (NOI) and the bottom line."

"We have witnessed the impact of rental payment history from day one, and being able to furnish that data as a credit item -- whether it is above or below the line -- is the key to creating a better rental prospect for everyone," said Mark Stringer, senior vice president of Riverstone Screening Services and Riverstone Receivables. "I believe this type of risk management helps not only Riverstone, but all companies, and as a data furnisher we expect to play a lead role in creating a rental payment history data set that not only assists with tracking skips on behalf of owners, but over time ultimately helps the resident to improve their payment practices."

Based in Dallas, Texas, Riverstone is one of the largest apartment fee-managers in the United States, approaching 170,000 multifamily apartment units under management. Furnishing data to Experian RentBureau will augment the firm's internal collections department, greatly reducing the likelihood of resident skips while improving collections and lessening the need for listing outstanding bad debt with third-party collections agencies while encouraging more efficient, prompt and complete rent payments from residents.

Since beginning the collaboration with Experian RentBureau three months ago, Riverstone has already received more than 400 "hits" of rental applicants attempting to move in to a community while still owing a rental payment debt elsewhere. Without access to rental payment data, residents and community managers alike can typically wait six to eight months for negative rental history to appear on a credit report as the result of traditional collection efforts.

"As we begin to report our rental payments residents can find out more quickly if there is outstanding debt that will negatively impact their efforts to get credit or lease an apartment," Stringer said. "It makes it easier for both us and the resident to identify what the problem is and have it corrected."

Experian RentBureau is part of Experian, the leading global information services company and the first and only major credit reporting agency to include rental payment data in its credit reports.

DegreeTree Offers Healthcare Management Resource

DegreeTree data finds more educated students are transitioning to healthcare management careers.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Affordable Care Act is initiating changes to healthcare, putting healthcare managers in the front seat of healthcare reform.  DegreeTree.com, an online resource for connecting students with degree programs and schools, has launched a healthcare resource page which provides healthcare trend information, including upcoming changes from the Affordable Care Act, as well as healthcare cost issues, privacy and security issues, and the use of social media in healthcare. This information has been graphically represented in a healthcare infographic.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110518/MM04455LOGO )

"These are all trends that healthcare managers and students studying healthcare should be watching," says Teri Didjurgis, General Manager of DegreeTree.

"As jobs in other areas decrease, it's pretty common for people to look at such a growing field like healthcare and ask how they can position themselves for a better career," Didjurgis continues. "Many go back to school and get an MBA with a specialty in healthcare management. This really prepares students who may already have business or management experience to make the transition into healthcare."

According to data from DegreeTree, students seeking a healthcare program have more education than those seeking non-healthcare programs.  In fact 67% of the potential students seeking healthcare degrees online at DegreeTree.com  have at least some college, compared to only 45% for students seeking non-healthcare degrees.

And according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical and health service manager jobs are projected to grow by as much as 22 percent from 2010 to 2020, creating an additional 68,000 healthcare jobs, a growth rate that is well above average. The DegreeTree website connects potential students interested in healthcare, healthcare management, and other careers with schools and degree programs that meet their needs.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services Launches Two iPad Offerings

NEW YORK, June 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Top capital market news, stats and research summaries from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services analysts are among the materials and tools iPad users will be able to engage with on two free apps--CreditMatters and CreditMatters eReports--launched this month, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services announced today.

CreditMatters iPad App

The CreditMatters iPad app builds on Standard & Poor's existing iPhone app to provide access to Standard & Poor's top headlines, research summaries, commentaries, analyses, videos and podcasts. The app also includes the S&P iCMBS module that takes advantage of the iPad's larger screen by mapping out commercial properties in the user's vicinity and indicating CMBS transactions as well as loan, property and deal-level details.

The CreditMatters iPad app adds several features to its iPhone counterpart. These include a Bank Credit Scenario Builder that allows users to create and compare illustrative issuer credit rating scenarios based on their own parameters as well as Standard & Poor's bank ratings methodology and assumptions. This tool is the first in a series of planned criteria education tools that will provide market participants with an interactive and engaging way to understand the quantitative aspects of S&P Ratings criteria. Another module--the Snapshot--presents daily market stats, news and trends in a visual and interactive way.

CreditMatters eReports

A separate CreditMatters eReports app lets users experience Standard & Poor's extensive coverage of today's hot topics in finance, credit markets, and the global economy. Designed for the iPad, each digital magazine can be downloaded for offline viewing and delivers articles, video, audio, charts, and other related materials from Standard & Poor's global team of credit analysts.

"Standard & Poor's is committed to providing timely and relevant thought leadership and analysis to capital markets, and digital communication technologies allow us to reach the greatest number of global market participants," said Bruce Schachne, Head of S&P Ratings Market Development in the Americas.

"The new iPad apps--Credit Matters and CreditMatters eReports--are the latest additions to our suite of digital tools that provide investors with anywhere on-demand access to Standard & Poor's global perspective on important credit market developments," said Dmitri Sedov, Head of S&P Ratings Digital Marketing.

Standard & Poor's has been expanding its global digital outreach since 2006. The company now connects hundreds of its credit analysts with investors, issuers, intermediaries and other market participants through a variety of digital channels, including online portals, eNewsletters, multimedia and mobile, and Twitter (@standardpoors.)

Both apps are now available on Apple's App Store by searching for "Standard & Poor's" or "S&P CreditMatters." Readers can also learn more and download them by visiting http://www.standardandpoors.com/mobile.

Pew also reported that over 1/3 of seniors on the Internet, age 65 and older, use social networking websites, and 18% do so every day.

They have so much to give back."

Grandparents.com presented its business plan yesterday at the National Investment Banking Association Conference in New York City. An important element of the plan is creating a diverse Grandparents.com network of companies under the 'Grand' brand, each with a focus on products and services attractive to grandparents and people over 50 - from dating, gaming, entertainment, travel and leisure, to insurance, retirement planning, and investments. "The more tech-savvy they get, added Mr. Mahl, the more our audience will enjoy our offerings."
