"Cisco Networkers": ANDTEK Presents Functional and Sophisticated Attendant Console Software

MUNICH and HALLBERGMOOS, Germany, January 19, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     At the "Cisco Networkers" in London the Munich-based unified
communications specialist ANDTEK GmbH presents the latest technologies and
trends at booth E8. Visitors have the opportunity to get information about
the advantages of a modern attendant console including high-class
manager/assistant services, legally binding voice recording as well as
integration of databases, MS-Exchange contacts and corporate directories
offering a large variety of formats.

    The server software of the attendant console can be operated on a
dedicated hardware platform or in a virtual environment. Therefore an
additional physical sever is not required. This way companies have the
opportunity to react more flexible to changing requirements and can bundle IT
resources and use capacities of already available physical servers achieving
a considerably higher efficiency. In this way companies save costs for
hardware, utility space and energy.

    Globally acting enterprises can start with just one attendant console or
agent and simply extend attendant services worldwide at any time and as
required. The software offers all well know features of attendant consoles
and fully integrates with add-on services of ANDTEK, like voice recording,
broadcast and paging services or manager/assistant.

    Visitors of the ANDTEK booth can also talk with the expert Jurgen
Schwarz, being the new EMEA Senior Channel Sales Manager. The 45-year-old
sales professional works in various unified communications companies where he
created a wide partner network displaying much engagement, competent
knowledge and customer-oriented behavior.

    At the ANDTEK booth Jurgen Schwarz will welcome visitors from Great
Britain, Ireland, Benelux; Nordic countries, Italy, Spain and Portugal and
will be glad to give them an understanding of the advantages of ANDTEK's
products at first hand.

USB 3.0 Support Announced by Nefsis Online Video Conferencing Service

USB 3.0 will increase quality and decrease cost of multipoint HD video conferencing

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Online video conferencing services innovator Nefsis® announced today its interoperability with the USB 3.0 Super Speed standard. The implication for the video conferencing industry is that multipoint HD video conferencing will soon become much more affordable to millions of businesses as chipset and motherboard manufacturers incorporate USB 3.0. At the recent 2011 International CES conference, more laptop, ultrathin laptop, and tablet manufacturers announced support, along with a growing list of storage peripheral vendors. Nefsis predicts USB 3.0 webcams are not far behind.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110114/MM30776LOGO)

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0, but it can transfer data at ten times the speed. At present, USB 2.0 limits webcams to HD 720p, continuous video calling. The advent of 3.0 will remove that limitation, enabling HD 1080p at standard frame rates, including 30 progressive and 60 progressive frames per second. This is a substantial enabling technology for video conferencing as it will usher in the highest quality, full motion HD at prevailing webcam pricing and consumer electronics economies of scale.

"We're delighted to see USB 3.0 catching on," said Tom Toperczer, Nefsis VP of Marketing. "The implications are clear: what used to cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for boardroom video conferencing will soon be available to any desktop or conference room at webcam prices."

Nefsis is the industry's first cloud-based video conferencing solution, and the only solution to deliver multipoint HD quality to desktops and conference rooms. Nefsis allows the use of any video peripheral, including USB 2.0 webcams (720p), future USB 3.0 webcams (1080p), and virtually any Windows compatible video source, including handheld cameras and medical imaging devices, with built-in security and web collaboration tools.

About Nefsis

Headquartered in San Diego, California, Nefsis is a specialist in video conferencing software and online services for business. The Nefsis approach combines cloud computing and multi-core processing to deliver effortless video conferencing to employees, customers and business partners anywhere they have Internet access. Nefsis is especially popular among small-to-medium sized organizations, where its high-quality video, security controls and easy implementation deliver exceptional value.

Black Duck Software Enters 2011 on Upswing, Powered by Growth in Black Duck Suite Sales, Channel Expansion, Acquisitions

2010 yielded accelerating sales growth and market share increases over a strong 2009; cash-flow positive for the year

WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Duck Software, the leading global provider of products and services for accelerating software development through the managed use of open source software, is entering 2011 with substantial momentum, coming off of a very strong 2010 that saw the company's streak of 30+ percent growth in year-over-year sales continue, complemented by significant channel expansion and two acquisitions. The company, which has been cash-flow positive since Q4 2009, has averaged 36 percent compound annual growth over the years 2008-2010.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100629/NE27079LOGO )

Sales of the company's Black Duck Suite rose significantly in 2010, reflecting larger-scale enterprise deployments, as did services delivered across all categories -- M&A, deployment and internal code scanning assessments. Several key trends, including the global economic recovery; widespread use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in mainstream software development in the electronics, embedded systems, mobile, and enterprise IT segments; the growth in cloud computing and re-architecting of software programs for cloud deployment, ''and the rise of enterprise involvement in FOSS communities -- all helped fuel Black Duck's growth.

Black Duck saw expansion in its international distribution channels in 2010, marked by a 71 percent growth in partner sales over 2009, a company record for partner involvement. New international resellers and partners include Hitachi Systems & Services, Ltd., Fujitsu Middleware Ltd. and credativ.

The company added 52 new customers in the quarter, including National Instruments, Pegasystems, and Qosmos (France). Total new customers added in 2010 was an impressive 169, bringing the roster of Black Duck customers to well over 800.

Fourth quarter 2010 milestones included:

    --  Black Duck acquired SpikeSource, a provider of software tools and
        services to automate application component identification and assess
        security vulnerability.
    --  Black Duck acquired Ohloh.net. Ohloh, the largest free public directory
        of open source software and a vibrant web community, contains
        information on open source projects aggregated from over 250,000 public
        repositories and forums. Black Duck is retaining the Ohloh brand and
        will combine Ohloh with its industry-leading Koders.com code search
        website to establish a comprehensive, free resource for the Ohloh, FOSS
        and developer communities.
    --  Black Duck partnered with credativ. The partnership with credativ, the
        largest independent provider of open source software consulting and
        services, adds depth to Black Duck's portfolio of expert open source
        services and capabilities available to its customers.
    --  Black Duck enhanced Code Sight(TM). The Code Sight source code search
        engine was integrated with the Mercurial and Bazaar SCM systems,
        simplifying code search indexing for Mercurial and Bazaar users.
    --  Black Duck enhanced its code-scanning capabilities with the addition of
        IBM® Rational® AppScan Source Edition (SE). Adding AppScan to Black
        Duck's Software IP Assessment Services brings an additional dimension to
        the security analysis offered as part of the service.

"2010 was the year Black Duck completed its transformation from provider of compliance products to the FOSS enablement company, delivering a complete portfolio of products and services across the software development lifecycle," said Tim Yeaton, Black Duck Software president and CEO. "The FOSS world is changing fast and we are responding. For example, development communities are increasingly important to enterprise developers, so we acquired Ohloh.net to create a destination for developers to learn about, find and use FOSS. Cloud services and security are critical, so we acquired SpikeSource to expand our capabilities in these areas. As commercial software development continues to expand its use of FOSS as part of a multi-source development model, Black Duck is positioned to be the trusted advisor and advocate for developers, enterprises and FOSS communities worldwide."

About Black Duck Software

Black Duck Software is the leading provider of strategy, products and services for automating the management, governance and secure use of free and open source software (FOSS), at enterprise scale, in a multi-source development process. Black Duck® powers Koders.com, the industry's leading code search engine for open source; Ohloh.net, the largest FOSS community and free public directory of open source, and The Olliance Group, the leading open source business and strategy consulting firm.

Greenliant Ships Industry's First Industrial-Grade 8 GB Embedded Solid-State Drive

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenliant Systems, a leader in energy-efficient, highly secure and reliable solid-state storage products, has started mass production of its industrial-grade 8 GB NANDrive(TM) with ATA/IDE interface. The addition of Greenliant's GLS85LP1008P solid-state drive (SSD) marks the widest range of capacities--512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB--of small form factor, embedded SSDs that can withstand the extreme environments of automotive and industrial applications.

The GLS85LP1008P NANDrive combines Greenliant's high-performance NAND controller with 8 GB of single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash die in a tiny 14mm x 24mm x 1.9mm package. The 91 ball grid array (BGA), 1mm ball pitch package gives customers an embedded SSD that is easy, space-saving and cost-effective for mounting to a system motherboard.

"Greenliant NANDrive devices have the same footprint across all capacities, which allows our customers to seamlessly add more storage when they need it," said Nobu Higuchi, vice president of application engineering and product marketing, Greenliant. "Our 8 GB I-grade NANDrive is a high-capacity SSD in a very small size. Combined with its advanced security features, the I-grade NANDrive protects customer data in applications that require long operating life and durability."

The GLS85LP1008P NANDrive has a 50 MByte/sec sustained Read speed and a 39 MByte/sec sustained Write speed, while staying energy-efficient with typical active-mode power consumption as low as 500mW. Its enhanced reliability features include data loss prevention during unexpected power interruptions and product endurance up to 100 million host-write cycles.

About Greenliant NANDrive Devices

The Greenliant NANDrive family manages all NAND flash complexities and allows embedded system designers to quickly integrate mass data storage solutions into their designs without having to make any firmware changes. Because NANDrive complies with ATA interface protocols supported by all standard embedded operating systems, designers no longer face the risk of host software revalidation cycles. To further ease integration and reduce inventory management, NANDrive solves the compatibility and obsolescence issues of pairing a NAND controller with new NAND flash devices. As an integrated multi-chip package solution, NANDrive eliminates the need for long qualification cycles when there is a change of NAND flash technology; customers need only qualify the NANDrive as a mass storage subsystem. For more information about the Greenliant NANDrive product portfolio, visit http://www.NANDrive.com.

About Greenliant Systems

By leveraging more than 20 years of solid-state storage design expertise, Greenliant Systems is dedicated to developing energy-efficient, highly reliable and secure storage solutions for the embedded system, data center and mobile Internet markets.

The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache Pivot 2.0

Open Source Platform for Building Installable Internet Applications Makes Building GUI Applications Even Easier

FOREST HILL, Md., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of nearly 150 Open Source projects and initiatives, today announced Apache Pivot 2.0, the full-featured, Open Source platform for building installable Internet applications (IIAs). Apache Pivot provides a professional-grade foundation for easily building and deploying sophisticated and engaging GUI applications that can be downloaded and installed like traditional desktop or mobile applications.

Apache Pivot combines the enhanced productivity and usability features of a modern user interface toolkit with the power of Java or any other JVM-compatible language, such as JavaScript, Groovy, or Scala.

"With Pivot, developers use the languages, tools, and APIs they already know, thereby reducing technology sprawl and streamlining solution technology stacks," said Greg Brown, Vice President of Apache Pivot. "It's a truly open solution for creating visually rich, highly functional desktop or Web-based applications."

surface quality that our mold maker series machines can produce in short
cycle times."

manufacturers of discrete parts, which provides full associativity across the
manufacturing process from quoting, through design and up to delivery.
Cimatron's fully integrated CAD/CAM solutions use the most advanced
technology available to increase productivity and shorten delivery times.

    "The IMTEX trade show is a great opportunity to kick-start a very
exciting 2011," said Edsel Vaz, Cimatron's Country Manager for India.
"Cimatron plans to expand its operations significantly throughout India this
year. In doing so, it is important to maintain very strong relationships with
Machine Tool Builders and other associates in our industry, as these
relationships allow us to provide the best possible service to our customers.
We are excited to work together with Haas during the show."

Our unique recipe has been handed down, improved, and protected over the years. The result is a confection with a soft, flaky consistency and a rich, creamy peanut butter flavor," continues Carol.

The 60-year-old classic soft peanut butter brittle recipe has led to a whole line of luscious confections such as old-fashioned peanut brittle, cashew brittle, caramels, caramallows, bark, and butter toffee. "We pay the same close attention to each small batch of candy we make, just like Aunt Sophia did. We will not compromise on the quality of our products - nothing but fresh, Grade A ingredients make it into Bruttles' confections. The result is like nothing else you've ever tasted!" says Carol.

Bruttles Gourmet Candy Company has two locations in Spokane, Washington, and one in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Bruttles also offers holiday and corporate gift packages that you can also order online.

Hughes Announces Business-Grade VoIP Over Affordable Broadband for the Government Market

Full-featured, Managed Solution Reduces Federal Telephony Costs and Complexity

GERMANTOWN, Md., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband satellite networks and services, and a leading provider of managed network and application services, today announced its managed Voice-over-IP (VoIP) solution for the government market. Using the new Hughes ActiveQoS(TM) technology, Hughes can provide superior voice quality over affordable broadband, eliminating the need for agencies to invest in expensive, leased line Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110112/NE29456LOGO )

ActiveQoS Ensures High Quality Voice

Hughes ActiveQoS technology is integrated into the  customer equipment onsite and actively monitors and adapts to network congestion over the broadband network. Hughes ActiveQoS incorporates several innovative optimization methods, including traffic metering, network change adaptation, and traffic prioritization, to ensure that real-time, latency sensitive applications, such as voice, get through on an end-to-end basis. As a result, government users enjoy a high-quality voice experience with minimal packet loss and jitter.

"Many agencies--particularly federal organizations at the field office, bureau, and division-level--often have been unable to justify deploying a managed VoIP solution," said Tony Bardo, assistant vice president for Government Solutions at Hughes. "The benefits of converging voice and data are well known, and now government customers, especially these small and medium-sized agencies, can reap those benefits to reduce operational costs." 

Government agencies typically have had to deal with dozens of local service providers to meet the voice and data needs of their small and medium-sized field offices. Hughes enables them to consolidate all their voice and data capabilities nationwide under a single managed services provider employing the most cost-effective mix of broadband network transport technologies. The Hughes VoIP solution includes both hosted VoIP, as well as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking services, and offers full number portability.

"Federal agencies can now take advantage of a full-full featured VoIP solution that improves operations and employee efficiency and provides a better customer experience, while simultaneously lowering infrastructure costs. I call that a win-win-win," said Bardo.

Cardo Systems Announces New Snowmobile to Snowmobile Bluetooth® Intercom and Entertainment System

scala rider® G4(TM) PowerSet Connects With Mobile Phones, GPS, MP3 Players and Features Ultra-Thin, Corded Microphone for Tight Fitting Snow Helmets

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardo Systems, Inc., the world's market leader in wireless Bluetooth communications for helmet headsets, announced today the availability of its new wireless scala rider G4 PowerSet with corded rather than boom microphones and intercom system specifically designed for snowmobile riders. Now snowmobile riders can speak by intercom with their friends riding on other snowmobiles.

The corded scala rider G4 PowerSet is a set of two pre-paired Bluetooth intercom devices. Each comes with an ultra-thin corded microphone and clamps on to the snowmobile helmet in minutes. The product offers clear audio communications among two or three separate riders, or among four riders in total made up of two rider-passenger groups. Intercom communication is full duplex, meaning conversations are simultaneous, and do not have the delay of older "walkie talkie" systems. In addition to the Bluetooth intercom between snowmobiles, snowmobilers may also speak wirelessly via their Bluetooth phones.

The scala rider G4 PowerSet with corded microphones is a true multi-device entertainment system that accepts and plays wireless Stereo music from iPods or other MP3 music devices that are A2DP compatible. For added built-in entertainment, each headset sports an embedded FM radio with RDS that allows seek and scan functions and users to save favorites with six station user preset.  Additionally, the product can receive in-helmet voice instructions from a Bluetooth enabled GPS device. Voice-recognition (for answering, dialing or rejecting calls), multilingual spoken status announcements (to report incoming and outgoing headset connections) and AGC technology for automatic headset volume adjustments (based on ambient noise and driving speed) all contribute to completely hands-free communication and enjoyment.

To fit into the tightest-fitting snowmobile helmets, the G4 PowerSet features a corded noise-canceling microphone designed for maximum rider comfort. The corded microphone allows for easy maneuvering and can be adjusted according to rider preference. Installation of the headset can be completed in five minutes or less.

Safety is paramount with this system that provides riders with the security of plenty of talk time and an innovative, water and weather resistant design. 

The new corded scala rider G4 PowerSet for snowmobiles is now available through select distributors, retail outlets, specialty snowmobile shops, and directly from the Cardo Systems web site at http://www.cardosystems.com with a suggested retail price of $489.95.

*results may vary according to terrain

iPay Technologies Introduces Biz 2.0 Crossover

- Service equips financial institutions to seamlessly convert small business customers to small business online bill pay solution for better service and greater efficiencies -

MONETT, Mo., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY), a leading provider of computer systems and electronic payment solutions primarily for financial services organizations, today announced that its iPay Technologies division has introduced Biz 2.0 Crossover. The new bill payment service identifies small business customers that are using a financial institution's consumer online bill payment product, but would realize greater benefits from a bill pay solution designed exclusively for small business needs.

Biz 2.0 Crossover is part of iPay's strategy to help financial institutions best serve small business customers while ensuring that those relationships achieve their greatest profit potential.

According to Bill Ready, president of iPay Technologies, "Today, small businesses need to optimize operating efficiencies and cash flow, simplify funds management and effectively control delegated tasks. However, most of them are not achieving these basic goals if they are using a consumer online bill payment product. The tendency to use a consumer bill pay solution typically stems from familiarity with the platform and its functionality, and many small businesses simply are not aware that dedicated online bill pay solutions are available to them. We believe financial institutions and their small business customers can both realize tangible, ongoing benefits from a more sophisticated bill pay solution."

By automatically tracking transaction volumes and types, iPay's Biz 2.0 Crossover allows financial institutions to identify which customers are using a consumer bill pay platform for their business payments. Biz 2.0 Crossover then uses that account insight to deliver a series of professional communications to small business customers to help them recognize the benefits of converting to iPay's small business bill pay solution, Biz 2.0. The messages can be presented as banner ads on a financial institution's consumer bill pay homepage during a user's online session, on interstitial Web pages or via e-mail correspondence. Each communication includes an enrollment prompt that enables small business customers to instantly and effortlessly enroll online for Biz 2.0, eliminating the manual conversion process.

iPay's Biz 2.0 provides small businesses anytime access and greater control and flexibility. It provides the functionality to meet billing and payroll needs without consolidating orders or using spreadsheets. It also enables small businesses to delegate tasks like scheduling payments and it simplifies account-to-account transfers. The solution supports direct deposits, the management of payday schedules and the generation of advance reminders.

Ready added, "As valuable as small business customers are, banks and credit unions must proactively communicate the benefits of a full online financial management platform. Biz 2.0 Crossover is an automated way to simplify these communications and ultimately support financial institutions' strategic goals of attracting, retaining and growing their small business customer base and incrementally increase the related revenue."

NBCH Launches Valued-Based Purchasing Website for Employers

Guide provides resources for health care purchasers implementing value-based strategies to improve health and health care

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- To support the critical role employers, purchaser-led coalitions, health plans, and other health care stakeholders can play to improve health and health care and lower costs, the non-profit National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH) has launched a Value-Based Purchasing Guide website.

"Our nation's ability to successfully compete in a global economy will suffer until we find solutions that can improve the health of all Americans and advance quality and control costs," said Andrew Webber, NBCH president and CEO. "We can, and we must, do better than ranking 37th among nations in population health status while spending twice as much money per citizen on health care services than other countries. Value-based purchasing strategies represent the path forward."

Developed to educate key stakeholders on how to implement value-based purchasing programs focused on costs and quality of care for their own organizations and local communities, the Guide is a clearinghouse of information on various VBP concepts and strategies. Critical elements of value-based purchasing include: measuring and reporting comparative performance; paying providers differentially based on performance; and designing health benefit strategies and incentives to encourage individuals to select high value services and providers and better manage their own health and health care.

Authored by industry experts, the first five chapters of the Guide are:

    --  Value-Based Benefit Design
    --  Physician Performance Measurement & Reporting
    --  Physician Payment Reform
    --  Foundational Business Diagnostics
    --  Health Promotion

Each chapter features an extensive literature review of the peer-reviewed and "grey" literature, case studies, a "getting started" guide and discussion boards.

Introductory Webinar

On Thursday, January 27 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. Eastern, NBCH will host an introductory webinar for the Guide. Participants will include Andrew Webber and chapter authors from the following organizations:

    --  Bailit Health Purchasing
    --  Care Continuum Alliance
    --  Discern Consulting
    --  Health Intelligence Partners
    --  Neimand Collaborative

Participants can register for the webinar here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/910220883

Funding for the Value-Based Purchasing Guide was provided by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.

About the National Business Coalition on Health

NBCH is a national, non-profit, membership organization of 53 purchaser-led business and health coalitions, representing over 7,000 employers and 25 million employees and their dependents across the United States. NBCH and its members are dedicated to value-based purchasing of health care services through the collective action of public and private purchasers.

Digital Display System Specialist Jayex Launches Med-Extranet Online Media Library

- Jayex enables healthcare organisations to educate patients through Med-Extranet material displayed on waiting room screens -

LONDON, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jayex - http://www.jayex.com, the healthcare digital display system specialist, today announces the launch of Med-Extranet;its online healthcare media library. Med-Extranet offers hospitals, clinics, and GP surgeries online access to educational videos, digital posters and public service announcements that can be displayed on patient waiting room screens.

Med-Extranet is a free service available to Jayex customers that enables healthcare organisations to replace old-fashioned, paper-based notices and posters and deliver tailored healthcare information via digital screens in the waiting room. Through designated Med-Extranet logins, healthcare organisations can select from a range of highly intuitive videos produced by NHS Choices, IDS UK and GasSafe which address key issues, such as diet, symptoms of illness or raising awareness on the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. The service also allows organisations to choose from a wide selection of electronic posters promoting national services, campaigns and health & well-being information.

Bob Marsh, Director, Jayex, comments, "Healthcare organisations are under increasing pressure to improve patient throughput without impacting upon the quality of care delivered. Furthermore, the government-led changes across healthcare as a whole will place further demands on clinician's time and resources. As such, healthcare professionals have less time to educate patients on other healthcare issues than that of the nature of their appointment."

Marsh continues, "Educating patients whilst they wait is an attractive offering for practice managers, chief executives and clinicians, who can select information pertaining to issues relevant to their local area via Med-Extranet. For example, an outbreak of swine flu in a particular region could trigger the practice manager to search and select within Med-Extranet for educational videos detailing preventative measures. The Med-Extranet content can then be showcased on waiting room screens. This enables patients to understand how to avoid catching the virus and minimise widespread infection through the Med-Extranet online media library." 

Presented on the Jayex digital display system, Med-Extranet content can be combined with patient call information as well as easily configurable messages that can promote community care services and/or information on cancelling unwanted appointments to reduce the number of Did Not Attends (DNAs).

Marsh adds, "In today's 24x7 society, individuals have extremely busy schedules and tend to plan appointments around work or social commitments. Patients often want to be diagnosed, treated and prescribed as quickly as possible; the opportunity with Med-Extranet to educate patients via waiting room screens in the idle time from arrival to being called by the GP or clinician is compelling."

Marsh concludes, "With Jayex's digital display system offering an educational and preventative approach to healthcare through Med-Extranet, the NHS can improve health awareness, drive down unnecessary appointments and reduce DNAs; whilst encouraging patients to take control over their own health issues through the power of knowledge."

Established in 1978, Jayex is a pioneer in the field of programmable digital display system technology with over 23,000 customers worldwide in all business market sectors.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (http://www.definemystyle.com) -- Define My Style, a leading online, style-centric community for girls 13-19, today announced the availability of "DMS 2 Go" an iPhone app and the newest tool in the DMS Studio(TM). As a nimble startup, Define My Style collaborated with West Monroe Partners, a Chicago based full service management consulting firm, to design, develop and launch this new app in just four weeks.

Teen DMS community members use online tools to create thousands of unique handbag designs, personal logos and virtual stores. With more than a hundred designs created each day, a dynamic and rich stream of activity can flood by members between logins.  This new iPhone app, DMS 2 Go, allows members to browse and comment on the latest community activity; feeding both the friend and fashion fetishes of DMS designers. Teen influencers are juggling school, clubs, family, social interests, sports and much more.  The challenge for this first release was to inject a creative escape; something fresh and fun that fits into a 3 minute break during their incredibly demanding schedules.

"We are thrilled to launch our first mobile app and the collaboration on this project was incredibly satisfying," says Kristine Sturgeon, Founder & CEO of Define My Style. "Everyone has an opinion about mobile, but we wanted to prioritize feedback from our DMS members. These girls spend thousands of hours on mobile devices; they are the experts and we wanted to hear their opinions.  We are proud that the DMS community helped define the requirements.  We were able to bring these inputs to West Monroe Partners, complete rapid brainstorming and mockups then quickly transition to working prototypes and launch within a few weeks. Our target audience is creative and connected, if we want to catch their attention, we can't miss mobile."

"This project had a tight timeline while being the first piece of a bigger vision for the DMS Member engagement model," states Gregory Layok, Director of West Monroe Partners' Technology Integration Practice.  "We've sketched out a number of additional ideas to carry the strategy forward, but identified the most tangible pieces to deliver value to the market quickly. This is an approach to project management we are working with clients on across multiple industries as a response to the increasing need to improve the customer experience. Many organizations we are working with are focused on more intimate relationships with their customers.  The mobile experience must feel simple and consistent with other communication channels, regardless of the complexity of security and integration requirements behind the scenes.  We look forward to furthering an ongoing relationship with Define My Style as their business continues to grow."

Digital Content Expert Joe Pulizzi & CMI Launch Print Magazine for Content Marketing

Chief Content Officer launches in print and digital format in three countries.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Print is dead. Long live print.  After growing his business with digital content marketing for the past four years, content marketing expert and entrepreneur Joe Pulizzi has gone print with the launch of Chief Content Officer magazine.

Chief Content Officer (CCO) is the official magazine of the Content Marketing Institute, founded by Pulizzi last year. The magazine makes its debut this week in print to 20,000 senior-level marketers, with additional digital distribution throughout North America, Europe and Australia.

"According to our own studies, as well as research from APA/Millward Brown, consumers spend 25 minutes engaging in a custom print magazine," says Pulizzi. "Try to find that kind of engagement with your iPads, ereaders, websites and smart phones."

Chief Content Officer's mission is to educate senior marketers on how they need to think and act more like publishers to attract and retain customers.

"Publishing has been around for hundreds of years, but the concept is still very new to most marketers," says Clare McDermott, CCO's chief editor. "The content revolution has just started and most marketers are at a loss for what to do. We see the Chief Content Officer as an important new position in organizations of all sizes today. This is their magazine."

Pulizzi added, "The demise of print has been overwrought. The problem isn't the medium, it's the financial model. We see this as a very compelling opportunity to get into print at the height of the digital revolution. CMI has been touting the print opportunity for the past year...and we are putting our money where our mouth is with this magazine."

The premiere issue of CCO features case studies, technology tools and content marketing best practices, all designed to help marketers put content marketing strategy at the center of their marketing processes.

Ann Handley, co-author of Content Rules and featured interview in CCO, stated while tweeting that, "CCO magazine might possibly be the most significant new magazine in the galaxy."

Enough said.

Subscription Information

Chief Content Officer is free to qualified marketing professionals for a limited time. Marketers living on the edge can subscribe to CCO magazine here.

Sponsors of the premiere issue include: Ascend Integrated Media, Awareness Networks, Dlvr.it, Enveritas Group, Foster Printing Service, Nxtbook Media, Optiem, Outbrain, PR Newswire, and Wiley (Content Rules). Sponsorship inquiries? Email cco [at] junta42.com.

CMI includes the Junta42 content agency matching tool, Chief Content Officer magazine and Content Marketing World, the premiere international content marketing event.

Trimble's Next Generation TSC3 Handheld Controller Allows Surveyors to Collect, Share and Deliver Data for Improved Productivity

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) introduced today its next generation field device--the Trimble® TSC3 controller.  As part of Trimble's portfolio of Connected Site(TM) survey solutions, the new controller allows surveyors and geospatial professionals to collect, share and deliver data for improved accuracy, efficiency and productivity between the field and office.

Optimized for use with Trimble Access(TM) field software, the TSC3 controller delivers more capable data collection, computing and connectivity.  A range of new features and functions provide the benefits of multiple devices into a single handheld: A digital camera, integrated communications as well as a GPS navigator, compass and accelerometer.  Now surveyors can easily include on-site photos in surveys, communicate more efficiently between field and office and streamline stakeout activities.

"Minimizing rework and improving productivity are the basis for Trimble's Connected Site solutions.  Connectivity and total workflow integration provide surveyors with the day-to-day flexibility to adapt to varying conditions in the field and office," said Chris Gibson, vice president of Trimble.  "Trimble's new TSC3 provides surveyors and geospatial professionals with a single device that can improve workflows for field data collection and enhance collaboration between the field and the office."

The new Trimble TSC3 controller features a 4.2 inch, high-resolution, sunlight-readable touchscreen display, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® wireless capabilities, ruggedized bumpers and long battery life.  The controller is shock, dust and water resistant for durability.  Users can also choose either a QWERTY or ABC alphanumeric keyboard.  Delivered with Trimble Access software installed plus ample power to run third-party applications on the Windows® platform, the TSC3 is a comprehensive data collection solution for the survey industry.

Making Images Part of the Workflow

With a built-in 5 megapixel autofocus camera and LED flash, users can take digital photographs of their jobsite right from the controller.  No extra devices, batteries, or file transfers are required, and images are automatically geotagged and associated with measured points for easy identification.  Users can easily record the qualitative information that survey data alone can miss, such as site conditions or work progress.  The benefits of including images as part of the workflow are almost limitless: from easy data handover to in-field quality assurance.

Bridging the Field and Office with Real Time Communications

The Trimble TSC3 controller enables wireless Internet connectivity through either the integrated GSM/GPRS modem or Wi-Fi.  This allows Trimble Access field software to facilitate the flow of real-time information between field and office by allowing users to download and upload important files in areas where wireless communications is available.  Data collection, processing, analysis, and delivery are faster and more efficient.

A variety of flexible communication capabilities allow the transfer of critical information in a variety of environments: with the integrated GSM/GPRS modem, users can access VRS(TM) corrections without carrying a dedicated cell phone.  For Integrated Surveying, an internal 2.4 GHz radio option is also ideal for controlling Trimble robotic total stations.

Trimble's Connected Site Solutions

Trimble's Connected Site solutions for surveyors create seamless working relationships among Trimble products, technologies and services.  Through the Connected Site, Trimble is focused on providing solutions that address our customers' full work process.  By carefully combining technology innovation with a deep understanding of the users' workflows, data integration and maintenance across the lifecycle of projects, Trimble helps surveyors reach new levels of productivity for their businesses.

Availability

The new Trimble TSC3 controller is available now from Trimble's worldwide survey and infrastructure distribution network.

About Trimble

Trimble applies technology to make field and mobile workers in businesses and government significantly more productive.  Solutions are focused on applications requiring position or location--including surveying, construction, agriculture, fleet and asset management, public safety and mapping.  In addition to utilizing positioning technologies, such as GPS, lasers and optics, Trimble solutions may include software content specific to the needs of the user.  Wireless technologies are utilized to deliver the solution to the user and to ensure a tight coupling of the field and the back office.  Founded in 1978, Trimble is headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif.
