SAIC Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2008- Revenues: Up 6 percent to $2.1 billion- Operating Income: Down 1 percent to $140 million- Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations: Down 33 percent to $0.18

SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAIC, Inc. , a leading provider of research, engineering, and technology services and solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, which ended April 30, 2007.

"Thanks to the hard work of our 44,000 employees, the company is off to a good start for the year," said Ken Dahlberg, SAIC chairman and chief executive officer. "The company met its financial objectives for the quarter and is on track to achieve all of the metrics contained in the company's guidance for the year. In addition, the enactment of the supplemental spending bill in May should allow our primary customers to fund their critical missions."

Summary Operating Results

Revenues for the quarter were $2.1 billion, up 6 percent from $2.0 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Internal, or non-acquisition, growth represented 2 percentage points of the consolidated growth for the quarter.

Operating income for the quarter was $140 million (6.8 percent of revenue), down 1 percent from $142 million (7.3 percent of revenue) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The year-over-year decrease in operating margin was primarily caused by the timing of business development and internal research and development spending, which is forecast to be consistent throughout fiscal year 2008 but was weighted toward the second half of fiscal year 2007.

Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $77 million, down 17 percent from $93 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The decrease in income from continuing operations results primarily from a $15 million decrease in interest income and a 3.6 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate. Interest income declined year-over-year in response to declines in average cash and investment balances due to the payment of the $2.45 billion special dividend in November 2006. The tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was lower than normal as a result of the reversal of certain tax contingencies; the tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 represents a more normative rate of 40 percent.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter were $0.18, down 33 percent from $0.27 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, driven by the decrease in income from continuing operations and a higher share count compared to the prior year. The diluted share count for the quarter was 418 million, up 20 percent from 347 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 as a result of the 86.25 million shares issued in the October 2006 initial public offering (IPO).

Diluted earnings per share, which include discontinued operations, were $0.19 for the quarter, down 39 percent from $0.31 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Discontinued operations include the majority owned subsidiary ANX, which was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, and Telcordia, which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

The company used $134 million of cash flow in support of operations during the quarter, compared to generating $79 million in cash flow from operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The decrease in cash flow from operations is in part due to increases during the quarter in the settlement of payables and accrued expenses and in days sales outstanding from 69 to 73 days. The decrease was also attributable to the year-over-year shift from equity to cash of certain bonus payments and retirement plan contributions, timing differences in payments for Employee Stock Purchase Plan and retirement plan activities, and the recategorization of tax benefits received on stock option exercises and other stock awards from cash flow from operations to cash flow from financing activities effective with the October 2006 IPO-related reorganization merger as required by SFAS 123( R ). In general, cash flow from operations is lowest in the first quarter because the company pays its annual bonuses for the prior year in March.

During the quarter, the company used a total of $94 million to repurchase 2.5 million shares under the 40-million share stock repurchase program and 2.7 million shares in privately negotiated transactions or other recurring repurchases from employees in settlement of withholding taxes associated with stock option exercises and vesting events. Share count guidance given by the company expressly assumes no future repurchases under the repurchase program but includes an estimate for other recurring repurchases from employees.

New Business Awards

Net new business bookings totaled $1.5 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.7. Net bookings reflect net additions to backlog, derived by taking the change in backlog plus revenue recognized for the period. No bookings value is assigned unless the company has received a signed contract for a priced statement of work. Quarterly net bookings were diminished by $300 million to reflect that the company received notice that a customer intends to move certain tasks from a definite delivery contract to existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Without this contract category change, net bookings would have been $1.8 billion, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9.

Notable highlights of competitive definite delivery contracts received during the quarter include:

- Global Positioning System Wing (GPSW) Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I). SAIC won a five-year, $212 million contract to provide SE&I services in support of the GPSW. SAIC will produce and maintain the technical baseline for a dynamic and multi-segment program and deliver a broad range of services, including integration management, engineering process control and improvement, system security, program certification, specialty engineering, logistics, quality assurance, and risk management. - Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Electronic Warfare Technical Services. Under a five-year, $122 million cost-plus-award-fee task order, SAIC will provide engineering, technical, and programmatic support services for surface and airborne electronic warfare to the NSWC, Crane Division. - Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems. SAIC won a three-year, $22 million task order from the SPAWAR Systems Center, Charleston (SSCC) to support the deployment of the Navy ERP Systems, Applications and Products common business solution. SAIC support includes project and financial management, business processes and information, communications and organizational change management, quality assurance, testing, training, helpdesk management, technical environment, business realization, and balanced scorecard/Lean Six Sigma processes.

In addition to these definite delivery awards, SAIC also won several IDIQ contracts that are not included in the bookings total. Notable IDIQ awards during the quarter include:

- U.S. Air Force, Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Support Services. SAIC won a five-year, $394 million time-and-materials contract from PACAF to provide a full range of engineering and technical support services. Under this recompeted master contract, SAIC will continue to support systems for PACAF command, control, computers, intelligence, wargaming and force protection. - Military Ground Tires Supply Chain Management (Michelin). SAIC won a single award, firm-fixed-price contract from Michelin North America to help supply ground tires to the U.S. military through the Defense Supply Center-Columbus (DSCC). Under the ten-year, $300 million contract, SAIC will manage the wholesale supply, storage, and distribution functions, contributing supply chain management expertise in forecasting, inventory management, and worldwide distribution. - General Services Administration (GSA) Networx Universal Program. SAIC is a key subcontractor to Qwest Communications International Inc. on the GSA Networx Universal program, which has an estimated value of $20 billion and ceiling of $48.1 billion over 10 years. Qwest is one of three companies to receive a Networx Universal prime contract. SAIC will provide managed security services, managed tiered security services, customer specific design and engineering services, managed hosting services, transition services, and other related professional services. - U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) Technical Services. SAIC was one of three companies awarded a contract to provide technical services to the U.S. Army CMA with a five-year period of performance and a $62 million ceiling. Under this recompeted contract, SAIC will continue to provide engineering design; chemical agent, industrial chemical and pollutant monitoring; technical analysis; quality assurance; safety, security, and surety; training and testing to support CMA's mission of storing and disposing chemicals in a safe and environmentally sound manner.

The company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was over $14.5 billion, of which $4.8 billion was funded. The negotiated unfunded backlog of $9.7 billion represents the estimated amount to be earned in the future from firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders that might be awarded under IDIQ or other master agreement contract vehicles.

Microsoft and New Mexico Vitalize Rural Economic Opportunities in Filmmaking, Construction, Agriculture and Technology Through SchoolsMicrosoft U.S. Partners in Learning to contribute up to $2 million for classroom programs that bolster science, technology, engineering, math, entrepreneurship and work-based learning.

SANTA FE, N.M., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- New Mexico Lt. Gov. Diane Denish today announced the state's partnership with Microsoft Corp. to transform schools into catalysts for economic opportunity in several rural communities. The joint effort will benefit 10 school districts in rural New Mexico: Fort Sumner Municipal Schools, Mosquero Municipal Schools, Loving Municipal Schools and the seven districts of the Northwest Regional Education Cooperative #2 consortium (Chama Valley, Cuba, Dulce, Jemez Mountain, Mesa Vista, Penasco and Questa schools). Each of the four projects will receive funds to develop innovative school and community programs that also support the creation of meaningful work for local citizens in the fields of agriculture, technology, home construction and film production.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO )

"New Mexico must continue to align academics with our local and global economies," Denish said. "The Microsoft U.S. Partners in Learning program is a wonderful opportunity for economic and academic growth in New Mexico communities."

Under the agreement, Microsoft will contribute up to $2 million in funding through its U.S. Partners in Learning initiative, plus a dedicated Microsoft employee to work with New Mexico's Office of the Governor and Public Education Department to help each program focus on its goals.

"Sustainable economic vitality and quality of life of any area depend on a well-educated and engaged community," said Anthony Salcito, general manager for U.S. Education at Microsoft. "These rural communities are not just putting new classroom focus on science, technology, engineering, math, entrepreneurship and work-based learning, they are creating a direct relationship between how well students learn and how well a community works. That is an inventive and important cultural bond that Microsoft strongly supports, and it shows great potential to bring new and sustainable social and economic opportunities to all of New Mexico's citizens."

"Real-world relevance and community involvement are critical to successful education systems," said New Mexico Secretary of Education Veronica Garcia. "Each of our four partnerships incorporates both elements in innovative ways that will benefit classroom curricula, student achievement and community involvement."

The four programs to be supported by the partnership were selected for their ability to clearly identify how they, together with the community, would use a technology and education solution to address an economic opportunity relevant to their community:

-- Growing Green in Fort Sumner. With the awarded funds, Fort Sumner Municipal Schools will be able to update and expand its campus greenhouse, eventually creating an effective commercial venture by growing and selling cottonwood seedlings and cactus plants. Fort Sumner is an agricultural community, and injecting real-world, meaningful applications of science, technology, engineering and mathematics into school instruction will better prepare students for vocational and technical training or local industry opportunities. In addition, the sale of items and the creation of jobs will help stimulate the local economy.

-- Mosquero Media Entrepreneurs (ME). ME is a project of the 21st Century Entrepreneurial Program, a "learning and earning" project-based business enterprise incorporated into the Mosquero Municipal Schools' curriculum. The project will be youth-centered and youth-operated, and ME students receive technology training through a number of interactive opportunities, such as an innovative multimedia educational center designed to draw in neighboring students and teachers. The awarded funds will develop these entrepreneurship opportunities, expand district technology with the purchase of hardware and software, and augment professional development training.

-- 21st Century Economic Revitalization Through Home Construction. With the awarded funds, Loving Municipal Schools will be able to improve its education system, introducing and incorporating trade- and work-based learning into the high school curriculum. According to the annual graduate survey data collected by the district of Loving, only 51 percent of high school graduates continue their education at a college or university. This program, with hands-on work opportunities, will prepare other students for trade occupations straight out of high school. The funds will also help improve one aspect of the community's infrastructure, housing, setting the foundation for Loving students to remain in the community.

-- Student Film Technician Training. This project will provide introductory training for rural high school students in the seven districts of the Northwest Regional Education Cooperation #2 consortium. The training, focused on film and movie production, will be delivered through a combination of on-site education at professional facilities and long-distance classroom education provided by college and industry instructors. The instruction will help students develop and hone their technical skills, creating promising applicants who can pursue related employment opportunities in the growing New Mexico movie industry.

Presstek and Pitman Expand U.S. Distribution Network for DI(R) PressesDI's Profitable Digital Offset Short-run Color Printing to Meet Needs of New Channel

HUDSON, N.H., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Presstek, Inc. , the leading manufacturer and marketer of digital offset printing business solutions, today announced that Pitman Company, one of the nation's largest graphic arts market distributors, will now sell its Presstek 34DI and 52DI presses, further expanding its channel for Presstek Direct Imaging (DI(R)) systems into Pitman's well established, large customer base. For Pitman, North America's leading value-added supplier to the graphic communications industry, the DI presses help their customers effectively address one of the fastest growing segments of the print market -- runs between 250 and 10,000 impressions.

"We are excited to be partnering with Pitman in an agreement that will complement and expand our existing distributions channels," said Emile Tabassi, vice president of North American sales at Presstek. "With 100 years of experience selling to the graphic communications industry, Pitman has an extensive network of contacts in many of the nation's larger print service shops, which will bring the benefits of Presstek's DI product line to a wider audience."

In 2006, Presstek shipped a record number of DI presses, in part because a typical job on a Presstek 52DI costs about half as much per page as a comparable job on a toner-based digital device. Presstek's DI presses are perfectly suited to meet the need for high-quality, four color in the short- run print market, where the click charges for toner-based solutions can become prohibitively expensive and traditional offset presses take too long to meet tight turnaround times and usually require margin sacrifices.

"This agreement is a logical extension of our partnership with Presstek. The DI press, coupled with our sales and technical ability in both Pitman and Charrette, will provide a strong offering for customers dealing with the growing demand for short run printing," said Larry D'Amico, vice president of digital imaging at Pitman Company. "For many customers, Presstek DI presses are a perfect complement to their existing print investments. The DI integrates well into their digital workflow and allows them to retain and pursue business that they otherwise would not be able to produce as profitably or productively. The DI press uniquely fills the gap between toner-based devices and conventional offset with its high-quality, low cost per page. We look forward to fulfilling our customer's needs with Presstek DI presses."

The Benefits of Presstek Digital Offset Presses -- Increase Profitability. DI users define run lengths of 250 to 10,000 impressions as the "sweet spot" for the press, according to an InfoTrends, Inc. market study. Printers can leverage the cost efficiencies of the press for a competitive advantage in the expanding short-run color market. -- Maximize Productivity. The DI's time-saving features and the faster drying time of waterless ink enable the fast turnaround of high quality print jobs - including same-day service. Computer file to sellable sheet is achieved in 10 minutes, and the press comes up to color in only 20 sheets. -- Achieve Superior Quality and Flexibility. The DI's unique design, digital imaging capabilities and range of automated functions support up to 300 lpi and FM screening without incurring additional expense or time. The DI also prints on a wide range of substrates from 0.06 mm to 0.5 mm thick; onion skin to heavy card stock to plastic. The waterless press design eliminates ink/water balance issues and easily produces luminous color consistently sheet-to-sheet and job-to-job. About Presstek

Presstek, Inc. is the leading manufacturer and marketer of high-tech digital imaging solutions to the graphic arts and laser imaging markets. Presstek's patented DI(R), CTP and plate products provide a streamlined workflow in a chemistry-free environment, thereby reducing printing cycle time and lowering production costs.

Linksys, division de Cisco Systems Inc., et leader du marché des produits voix, sans fil et réseau à destination des particuliers, TPE et PME/PMI, annonce le lancement de deux nouveaux commutateurs Gigabit intelligents : le commutateur Gigabit intelligent à 8 ports 10/100/1000 avec fonctionnalité << Power Device >> et alimentation CA (SLM2008) et le commutateur Gigabit intelligent à 5 ports 10/100/1000 avec fonctionnalité PD et alimentation CA (SLM2005).

<< Ces nouveaux commutateurs Linksys Business Series à haut débit assurent une gestion d'entrée de gamme tout en étant plus abordables et moins complexes qu'un commutateur Administrable de niveau 2 >>, a indiqué David Tucker, directeur senior du marketing produits de la division Connected Office Business Organization de Linksys. << Comme pour toutes les offres Linksys Connected Office, nous proposons une solution rentable, idéale pour les petites entreprises ou les groupes de travail au sein des grandes entreprises. >>

Gestion et configuration de réseau

Une interface Web conviviale permet aux entreprises, aussi petites soient-elles, de gérer et configurer leur réseau sans l'aide d'un technicien informatique. Les commutateurs Gigabit intelligents Linksys Business Series requièrent qu'une expertise technique minimale pour gérer le trafic réseau via diverses fonctionnalités qui les démarquent des autres commutateurs d'entrée de gamme, notamment :

- Surveillance de trafic IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) - limite le trafic réseau multicast aux seuls utilisateurs ayant demandé à recevoir la transmission. - << Storm Control >> - empêche le débordement du trafic multicast et broadcast. - << Many-to-one port Mirroring >> - permet d'opérer une surveillance discrète du trafic du commutateur. - Prise en charge des compteurs d'interface simples - accélère le processus de dépannage grâce à la fourniture de statistiques simples. - Protocole LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) - augmente la bande passante et la redondance des liaisons. - Mécanismes de gestion des priorités du trafic 802.1p et DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) - assure une gestion QoS simplifiée.

Fonctionnalité PD

Les deux nouveaux commutateurs sont dotés de la fonctionnalité PD (Powered Device), qui leur permet d'être alimentés par un commutateur PoE 802.3af standard ou une source d'alimentation CA externe. Cette fonctionnalité PoE-PD 802.3af permet aux petites entreprises d'installer librement leur commutateur dans des endroits dépourvus de prises électriques, tels que les plafonds et les murs.

Sécurité

Les commutateurs intelligents Linksys Business Series permettent aux entreprises de créer des VLAN reposant sur la spécification 802.1q afin d'améliorer les performances et de renforcer la sécurité des réseaux en autorisant leur segmentation. La sécurité au niveau des ports est assurée par les fonctionnalités d'authentification 802.1x intégrées aux produits.

Tarifs et disponibilité

Les SLM2005 et SLM2008 seront disponibles courant juillet auprès des principaux distributeurs et revendeurs à valeur ajoutée.

Texas Lone Star Network Selects NeuStar To Support CALEA Compliance Efforts

STERLING, Va., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NeuStar, Inc. announced today that Texas Lone Star Network, a broadband network comprised of 38 independent local exchange carriers (ILECs), has selected NeuStar to support its Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) compliance efforts. Texas Lone Star was CALEA-compliant prior to the May 14, 2007 deadline.

The CALEA compliance deadline of May 14, 2007 applied equally to all facilities-based broadband access providers and interconnected VoIP service providers, with restricted availability of compliance extensions.

NeuStar was the first fiduciary services company to offer a full suite of truly scalable legal compliance services to major carriers and smaller ILECS.

"We chose NeuStar to support our CALEA compliance efforts because the risks associated with noncompliance are very high and can cost a company a lot in penalty fees as well as lawsuits," commented Brad Seymour, interim general manager of Texas Lone Star Network. "We wanted to work with an experienced, trusted third party that services small and large carriers equally well and cost-effectively. The NeuStar solution is the only true CALEA service that has attorneys and paralegals handling the review, validation and fulfillment of legal processes to take care of our needs."

"Texas Lone Star Network has a rich history of supporting telecommunications in Texas, and we are proud to assist them in their CALEA compliance efforts," said Mike Warren, NeuStar's vice president of fiduciary services. "NeuStar was able to design a scaled solution for Texas Lone Star that minimizes their members' capital and organizational costs for compliance. NeuStar looks forward to continuing its relationship with one of the most respected service providers in Texas."

IRVINE, Calif., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- From its 2007 Connected Office Day events around the globe, Linksys(R), a Division of Cisco Systems, Inc., and the recognized leading global manufacturer of voice, wireless, and networking hardware for home, Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) and the small business user, today announced a number of products and programs from its Connected Office portfolio that were developed and designed specifically for the small business customer.

The Linksys Business Series and Linksys One solutions are components of The Connected Office, a broad portfolio of secure, scalable voice and data solutions built specifically for the growing small business, making it easy to buy, build and manage a network.

New Programs: Financing Options on Linksys One Products through Wells Fargo Enhancements to Linksys Partner Connection Program Cisco and Linksys Partner Program Alignment New Products: Linksys Gigabit Smart Switches Linksys One Services Router Linksys One Wireless Services Router Linksys One software enhancements Cisco Service Node for Linksys One XA Series Line of Linksys One Ready Switches and Network Attached Storage

"Linksys is serious about small business," said Mike Pocock, Linksys senior vice president and general manager. "There is no single data and voice vendor that is designing and developing products, programs and services from the ground up specifically for the small business. And with more than 66 million small businesses around the world, we feel we have the right technology and programs with our Connected Office solutions to cater to their needs and requirements that will help them become more productive while saving money and growing their business."

New Programs: Wells Fargo Unsecured Line of Credit

Linksys is teaming together with Wells Fargo, America's #1 small business lender, to provide qualified United States small business owners special financing through the Wells Fargo's BusinessLine(R) line of credit -- offering flexible financing terms to help their businesses grow and prosper. Business owners who use the line of credit to purchase Linksys One will have the opening fee waived -- a savings of up to $250.

Linksys Channel Partner Program

The Linksys Partner Connection (LPC) enhancements include a tiering structure (Registered and Business Elite Partner) for specialization in foundation technologies (routing, switching and wireless), and advanced technologies (storage, voice solutions and Linksys One). New benefits for the LPC program were also developed to reward partners for investing in pre-sales and post-sales resources, technical expertise and ongoing service capabilities to help drive increased partner profitability for selling platform solutions and managed services.

Cisco and Linksys Partner Program Alignment

The Linksys Partner Connection program has also been designed to align to the Cisco worldwide partner program. Initially the aligned channel strategy will focus on alignment of the registered partner base and leveraging integrated distribution capabilities. The intent is also to programmatically link Cisco Certified Partners and Linksys Business Elite Partners. The new Linksys partner program and alignment with Cisco is expected to roll out in North America in August 2007 and progressively in other regions around the world.

New Products: Gigabit Smart Switches

An easy-to-use Web-based interface enables even the smallest of businesses to manage and configure their networks without a dedicated IT staff. Linksys Business Series Gigabit Smart Switches allows the management of network traffic with minimal technical expertise required through a variety of features that set them apart from other entry-level switches, including:

* Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) * Storm Control * Many-to-one Port Mirroring * Simple Interface Counters Support statistics * Powered Device (PD) functionality Linksys One Service Routers (SVR200)&(SVR3500)

Linksys Announces Enhanced Partner ProgramNew Enhancements Provide Channel Partners with Products, Incentives and Programs Designed Specifically for their Small Business CustomersAlignment with Cisco to Drive Opportunity and Efficiency for SMB Channel Partners

SAN JOSE and IRVINE, Calif., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- From its 2007 Connected Office Day events around the globe, Linksys(R) announced the restructuring of the Linksys Partner Connection (LPC) program which has been designed to add technology specialization choices for partners who want to benefit from becoming educated and technically proficient in specific small business solution categories. Additionally, Linksys and Cisco also announced they will align partner programs and initiatives to drive growth and increase efficiencies for channel partners in the SMB market.

The Linksys Partner Connection (LPC) Program is specifically focused on channel partners who sell and offer Linksys Business Series and Linksys One product families. The program improvements include a tiering structure (Registered and Business Elite Partner) for specialization in foundation technologies (routing, switching and wireless), storage, voice solutions and Linksys One. New benefits for the LPC program were also developed to reward partners for investing in pre-sales and post-sales resources, technical expertise and ongoing service capabilities to help drive increased partner profitability for selling platform solutions and managed services.

"The improved Linksys Partner Connection Program is a two-tiered partner program that rewards partners for their pre- and post-sales capabilities, ongoing service capabilities as well as their investment in Linksys technical capabilities," said Nigel Williams, Linksys vice president of the worldwide channels organization. "Linksys Connected Office portfolio of products and solutions offer market relevant features focused on flexibility and simplicity in deployment and use, allowing partners to address the cost-sensitive and ease-of-use needs of today's Small Business customer."

The value-based program has also been designed to align with Cisco's worldwide partner program. Together Linksys and Cisco registered channel partners will be combined into one common community to take advantage of both Cisco and Linksys unrestricted products. Linksys will also leverage Cisco's distribution capabilities to enhance its global reach and enable distribution partners to build SMB initiatives across the brands. Finally, Linksys and Cisco will link the Cisco Certified Partner designations with Linksys Business Elite Partner status in the coming months

"Together Cisco and Linksys offer the largest portfolio of network-based products and services for the SMB market. By working together to align our channel programs and initiatives we can provide incremental value and efficiency to SMB-focused channel partners," said Keith Goodwin, senior vice president, Worldwide Channels at Cisco.

The LPC program tiers include: -- Registered Partner - Tier 1 -- Business Elite Partner - Tier 2 -- Business Elite Specialized Partner LPC Registered Partner

The Registered Partner tier is the entry point into the Linksys Partner Connection Program and enables channel communication between Linksys and our partners. This requires the partner to give Linksys basic information such as company address and contact details, sourcing information and basic profiling about their business. In return Linksys offers these partners a monthly channel newsletter, access to monthly webinars, roadshows and online product/solution collateral.

LPC Business Elite Partner

The Business Elite Partner tier is specifically built for channel partners that offer foundational Linksys technologies to their customer base. This includes routing, switching, wireless and basic storage solutions. Partners are required to take a Foundational Technology specialization test that has a technical tract and a sales tract. These tests are online and role sharing is allowed so partners can have one employee that is specialized in both tracts. Once partners achieve Business Elite status they receive additional off-list pricing discounts on Linksys Business Series and Linksys One Ready products except those that require specialization.

In addition, partners receive access to marketing development funds and the ability to take Linksys product specializations in Network Attached Storage (NAS), voice and Linksys One. When partners pass tests on these specializations they become Business Elite Specialized Partners. These specialized partners are given access to restricted NAS, Voice and Linksys One products at the Business Elite off-list pricing mentioned above. The Linksys One specialization is unique in that when a partner achieves this specialization they will not only receive access to Linksys One products, but they will receive an additional off-list discount on both Linksys One and Linksys One Ready products.

Program Rollout The enhanced Linksys LPC program and alignment with Cisco partner program is expected to roll out in the US and Canada in August 2007 and progressively in other regions around the world. Existing Linksys Partners will be asked to re-register into the new Linksys Partner Connection program. There will be a grace period of 6 months to re-register for the new program in the US and Canada. EMEA, LatAm and APAC regions will be rolled out over the next 12 Months.

PacificNet Launches "Mahjong Mobile Pact" for World Series of Mahjong - Mobile Game Designed to Promote Playing Mahjong Anywhere

MACAU, China, June 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- PacificNet, Inc. , a leading provider of gaming and mobile game technology, e- commerce, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in China, announced today that it will launch a new mobile Mahjong game for the "2007 World Series of Mahjong." The three-day World Series of Mahjong tournament to be held at Wynn Macau on June 15-17 is expected to gather the most skilled Mahjong players in the world, competing for the Mahjong World Championship with the guaranteed minimum purse of US $1 million. The champion is guaranteed to pocket US$500,000 single-handedly, the largest cash prize in the history of tournament Mahjong. PacificNet has been designated as the official telecom and mobile provider for the World Series of Mahjong.

PacificNet's newly launched "Mahjong Mobile Pact" is a java-based mobile game designed to help players better understand the rules of the game and to allow them to practice their Mahjong skills anywhere on a Java-enabled mobile phone. Players may download the free trial version of "Mahjong Mobile Pact" from various PacificNet subsidiaries, affiliates and partner companies, including PactGames, Guangzhou Wanrong (http://www.my2388.com/), Clickcom (http://www.clickcom.com.cn/), MOABC (WAP.Moabc.com), iMobile (http://www.imobile.com.cn/ and http://www.18900.com/ ), among others. PacificNet will work closely with the World Series of Mahjong and other partners to promote the game of Mahjong via the internet and mobile internet portals.

Tony Tong, Chairman and CEO of PacificNet, commented, "Being the designated telecom and mobile provider for the Mahjong competition with the largest purse in the world, PacificNet is trying to push this game in every possible way in an attempt to attract players of all skill levels. With an estimated 100 million Mahjong players worldwide, Mahjong is considered to be the national pastime game of China and is the most widely played gambling game in the world, especially in China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and most Asian countries."

According to industry forecasts, mobile online games will become vastly more popular with the advent of 3G networks in China. Forecasts frequently note that online and offline mobile gaming differs greatly in terms of their service models. Online gaming uses a telecom service model earning revenues from traffic fees during play, while offline mobile gaming is simply a game application downloaded onto a handset for a small fee. The forecasts predict strong growth for WAP, JAVA and BREW, while the proportion of SMS-enabled games will drop. With over 400 million mobile phone users, China has already become the largest mobile population in the world. Moreover, the number of mobile users is still growing rapidly and has far exceeded the number of PC based internet users, which is about 120 million, in China.

About the World Series of Mahjong

The World Series of Mahjong is a 3-day, single-elimination format tournament. Please visit the official website http://www.world-series-mahjong.com/ for rules, format, scoring system and schedule of play. The registration fee is a non-refundable sum of US $5,000.

The tournament will be held at the fabulous Wynn Macau Hotel and Casino on June 15-17, 2006.

PARIS, June 6 /PRNewswire/ --

- Il offre aux partenaires des produits, des primes et des programmes spécifiquement conçus leurs clients PME

- Cisco et Linksys alignent leurs programmes partenaires pour amener plus d'opportunités et d'efficacité aux programmes destinés aux PME

Profitant de leurs événements Connected Office Day 2007 organisés à travers le monde, Linksys(R) annonce aujourd'hui la restructuration et déploiement du programme Linksys Partner Connection (LPC) en août. LPC a été conçu pour proposer des choix de spécialisation technologique aux partenaires qui souhaitent acquérir une expertise technique dans des catégories de solutions spécifiques pour PME. De plus, Linksys et Cisco annoncent l'alignement de leurs programmes partenaires et des initiatives destinées à augmenter les opportunités et l'efficacité des leurs partenaires présents sur le marché des TPE et PME.

Le programme LPC (Linksys Partner Connection) s'adresse spécifiquement aux revendeurs qui commercialisent les gammes de produits Linksys Business Series et Linksys One. Les améliorations du programme LPC incluent une structure hiérarchisée (Registered et Business Elite Partner, partenaire agréé et partenaire commercial élite) selon la spécialisation en technologies d'infrastructure (routage, commutation et sans fil) ou de stockage, en solutions voix et Linksys One. Le programme LPC propose de nouveaux avantages récompensant l'investissement des partenaires dans les ressources pré- et post-vente, l'expertise technique, ainsi que des services de support en continu, qui permettent aux partenaires d'améliorer leurs marges sur les ventes de solutions de plate-forme et de services gérés.

<< Le programme LPC (Linksys Partner Connection) amélioré, à deux niveaux, récompense les partenaires en fonction de leurs compétences pré- et post-vente, de leurs services de support en continu, et de leur investissement dans les compétences techniques Linksys, >> déclare Nigel Williams, vice-président de la division organisation des réseaux de distribution mondiaux chez Linksys. << La gamme de produits et de solutions Linksys Connected Office offre des fonctionnalités spécifiques, axées sur la flexibilité et la simplicité de déploiement et d'utilisation, qui permettent à nos partenaires de répondre aux besoins actuels des PME en termes de coût et de simplicité d'utilisation. >>

Ce programme est également lié au programme partenaire mondial de Cisco. Les partenaires de distribution agréés Linksys et Cisco seront rassemblés au sein d'une seule et même communauté, ce qui leur permettra de tirer parti des produits Cisco et Linksys non soumis à restrictions.

Enfin, les revendeurs certifiés Cisco et les Business Elite Partners (partenaires commerciaux élite) Linksys feront l'objet d'un programme unique dans les prochains mois.

Keith Goodwin, vice-président senior de Cisco, Worldwide Channels de Cisco, déclare : << En s'associant, Linksys et Cisco sont à même d'offrir la gamme de produits et de services la plus étendue sur le secteur diversifié des PME, tout en permettant à nos partenaires spécialisés dans ce segment de bénéficier d'une valeur ajoutée accrue et d'augmenter leurs marges.

CSC-Led Alliance Receives Three-Year Option for National Security Agency Groundbreaker Contract

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Computer Sciences Corporation today announced that the Eagle Alliance, a CSC-led joint venture, has received notification from the National Security Agency (NSA) of its intent to exercise the three-year option on the Groundbreaker contract. This option, with an expected value of $528 million, was included in the originally announced award value of Groundbreaker in July 2001. The option will extend Eagle Alliance's performance on the program through September 30, 2011.

Under the agreement, the Eagle Alliance and its teammates will continue providing secure information technology infrastructure for the NSA. The scope of the effort includes secure and non-secure telephony and network services, distributed computing services, and enterprise and security management at the NSA headquarters and its surrounding offices.

According to James W. Sheaffer, president of CSC's North American Public Sector (formerly Federal Sector) business unit, "Exercising this option underscores NSA's confidence in the Eagle Alliance's experience and ability to deliver state-of-the-art information technology solutions that result in sound operational performance for the agency."

CSC is the managing partner of the Eagle Alliance, a partnership with Northrop Grumman's Information Technology (IT) sector. Groundbreaker is one of the largest information technology outsourcing efforts of the federal government. The program has been successful in enabling the NSA to respond more effectively to a rapidly changing mission, improve information assurance and focus its human resources more on core missions. Additionally, since contract inception, Eagle Alliance has subcontracted more than 50 percent of the work to small businesses, exceeding the contract goals set by the NSA.

Verizon Receives the J.D. Power and Associates Business Data Service Award for Service to Small-Business CustomersCustomers Give Company Highest Marks in Performance and Reliability, Five Other Key Parameters

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon small- and mid-sized business customers recognize and appreciate great service and say they get it from Verizon.

Verizon has earned top honors among six major providers in the J.D. Power and Associates' annual study of small-, mid-size and large-business customers. The J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Major Provider Business Telecommunications Services Study(SM) cited Verizon for the "Highest Customer Satisfaction With Small/Midsize Business Data Service Providers."

"This recognition by a respected industry study reinforces our customer- first commitment to the business marketplace," said Monte Beck, vice president of small business marketing for Verizon. "By doing what we do best -- providing high-quality communications solutions for small businesses and by delivering excellent customer service -- we help our customers focus on what they do best for their customers. They can leave their telecommunications worries to us."

Verizon scored highest in six of the seven key performance factors used to measure satisfaction: performance and reliability, cost of service, company image, sales representatives/account executives, offerings and promotions, and customer service.

According to J.D. Power and Associates, Verizon is the top performer in overall satisfaction and also sets a study benchmark in offerings and promotions and company image. Verizon has consistently been a top performer in J.D. Power and Associates' telecommunications studies since 2004.

For overall customer satisfaction, Verizon surged 25 index points from 2006, outperforming all the cable competitors included in the survey.

"Verizon's performance in this segment shows that a product set tailored to small businesses, delivered over a network designed specifically for voice and data, is delivering what customers want," Beck said, "and it also shows that cable's insurgency into the small-business category may be generating somewhat less than optimal results. That we performed so well in the study should resonate with small-business proprietors and operators who rely on good telecommunications support across the board."

Verizon was rated well for offering a single point of contact, which is important to small businesses where effective service from a single contact increases satisfaction and creates loyalty. Verizon also scored better than the industry average in terms of customers likely to switch away from the company. Ninety-one percent of Verizon customers said they would probably or definitely not switch.

Beck said Verizon's long history in supporting small businesses made Verizon better at meeting business needs than the cable challenger.

The study was conducted in January 2007. It reflects the views of 2,855 business customers with telecommunication services at small/midsize and large enterprise businesses in the United States, and measures their evaluation of their data and voice service providers.

Verizon Communications Inc. , headquartered in New York, is a leader in delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers. Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving 60.7 million customers nationwide. Verizon's Wireline operations include Verizon Business, which delivers innovative and seamless business solutions to customers around the world, and Verizon Telecom, which brings customers the benefits of converged communications, information and entertainment services over the nation's most advanced fiber-optic network. A Dow 30 company, Verizon has a diverse workforce of more than 238,000 and last year generated consolidated operating revenues of more than $88 billion.

Optelecom-NKF Introduces Breakthrough in IP Video for the ITS Market

GERMANTOWN, Md., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Optelecom-NKF, Inc. , a leading global producer of advanced IP-video network solutions, is showcasing its new four-channel MPEG-4 video encoder and decoder, the C-44, at the 2007 ITS America's Annual Meeting in Palm Springs, California. The C-44 complements Optelecom-NKF's IP-video product portfolio with a cost-effective, multichannel solution in a temperature-hardened, compact enclosure.

The C-44 delivers DVD-quality video performance at both high and low bit rates with Optelecom-NKF's MPEG-4 compression algorithm. The C-44 is capable of compressing up to four video channels over IP using MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG, and features an enclosure less than eight inches in length that can withstand operating temperatures ranging from -40° to +74° Celsius.

The C-44 E encoder is built with four digital signal processors (DSP) - one per analog video input. Each DSP is capable of running two MPEG-4 encoders as well as an M-JPEG encoder. Applications include high-quality MPEG-4 for live viewing, reduced frame rate MPEG-4 for time-lapse recording, and JPEG image capture for web applications or remote devices such as PDAs.

"By integrating four independent decoders in a single-slot enclosure, the C-44 provides one of the industry's smallest, most compact solutions, enabling our customers to get the maximum functionality out of cabinets, in the face of limited rack space at street intersections and along freeways," said marketing director Ethan Maxon.

"One of the primary reasons for the acquisition of NKF in early 2005 was to bring together state-of-the-art video over IP solutions to a comprehensive fiber product line," added Edmund Ludwig, Optelecom-NKF's president and CEO. "The combined company, Optelecom-NKF, Inc., now offers the transportation industry both product sets designed to offer maximum functionality in an extremely small, temperature-hardened package."
