Veridigm Creates Software for First Ever Online Progressive Style Slot Game Tournament as Company Prepares for Launch of 'Megaz Bucks', the World's Largest Online Jackpot Slot GameProgressive Online Tournament Created for World's Most Popular Casino Game

LOS ANGELES, June 07 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Veridigm Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VRDG) , A Company who provides progressive gaming software and entertainment services to the international online gaming community (excluding the USA), today announced the Company's subsidiary, Magnus Gaming Technologies, has completed the initial creation for its newly developed software for the first, progressive slot tournament model for online gaming operators and will officially market the software July 2007. The announcement was released by V.P. of Corporate Communications, Ms. Alise Mills.

"Slots are the most played casino games in the world. After analyzing the recent success of online poker tournaments, we have concluded that there is a much larger potential profitable upside to progressive slot tournaments because of a dramatically larger slot player base," stated Ms. Mills. "By combining our progressive jackpot tournament model and the world's most played casino game, we feel strongly the results will dramatically increase the amount of play for our customer sites."

The Company recently announced the development of "Megaz Bucks", its newly developed slot game which will allow the Company's gaming operating customers to offer the "largest progressive jackpot game" to ever be offered on the Internet. The new game coupled with its new tournament software is a reflection of how the Company will continue to invoke excitement amongst its growing customer base by providing both innovative gaming software and entertainment services.

Progressive style jackpot games continue to generate global media and player attention like no other. Unlike the Powerball, MegaMillions, or EuroMillions gaming models that have state-to-state or border-to-border restrictions, the 'online progressive model' that the Company will provide offers few restrictions, no boundaries and is applied to the 'international' online gaming community excluding the USA.

The online gaming industry remains one of the fastest growing e-commerce industries on the Internet. A recent study released by Merrill Lynch has reported that the Internet gaming industry is still in its infancy. Merrill Lynch predicts that by 2015 the market will bring in $528 billion annually worldwide, making it by far the largest ecommerce industry online. The report also stated 2006 earnings to be nearly $15 billion.

A premium level of products and entertainment services will continually be developed and provided by the Magnus Group of companies. Veridigm Inc., whose new official name will change to Magnus Entertainment Group, will operate through three wholly owned subsidiaries: Magnus Marketing Systems, Magnus Gaming Technologies Ltd and Magnus Showbiz.

Bucella, former director for the United States Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), has joined the information technology company to lead the development and implementation of the company's homeland security sector strategy.

"Donna is a pioneer in the federal industry and her experience will help guide the important work we are doing in homeland security."

Bucella's work with the TSC resulted in the first consolidation of Intelligence, Defense and FBI terrorist watch lists to identify known or suspected international or domestic terrorists and the implementation of the "no fly" list. In three short months, Bucella recruited, directed and developed a team from both the public and private sector that established a fully operational screening center with support from embassies worldwide.

"Perot Systems is committed to bringing results to the federal government and I am excited to lend my expertise and skills to their government services team," said Bucella. "It is clear that it will take both private and public partnerships to meet the challenges our country faces in a post 9-11 society, and I look forward to approaching this critical challenge from a new perspective."

Governor Rendell, with Wall Street West, Announces Plan for Fiber Optic Network Connecting New York City with Northeastern PennsylvaniaLevel 3 Communications selected to build new network to provide synchronous data transmission critical to back-up sites for financial firms

HARRISBURG, Pa., June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell, along with Wall Street West, a federal and state-funded program created to develop a total back-up solution for New York City financial institutions in the event of disaster, today announced an agreement for Level 3 Communications to build a fiber optic network connecting lower Manhattan with northeastern Pennsylvania. The Level 3 Communications-built optical network will enable redundant, instantaneous data transmission between the two areas, further establishing the northeastern Pennsylvania region as a premier back-up operations location for Wall Street firms.

To provide synchronous data transmission, fiber optic lines cannot exceed 125 fiber miles in each direction. Once the fiber network is in place, portions of northeastern Pennsylvania will be the only locations within the 125 fiber-mile limit surrounding Manhattan to also meet Federal Reserve and Securities and Exchange Commission recommendations that backup sites not rely upon the same infrastructure components used by financial firms' primary sites.

Wall Street West is a $40 million initiative involving a variety of federal, state and private-funding sources. Nearly $15 million in state funds are leveraging up to $25 million in federal and private investments.

While providing better connectivity between New York and northeastern Pennsylvania, the Wall Street West fiber network will also interconnect with an already robust fiber-optic infrastructure that covers all nine counties covered by the Wall Street West initiative, including Carbon, Berks, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe, Northampton, Pike and Wayne. These locations offer many infrastructure benefits of northeastern Pennsylvania for firms that do not require instantaneous backup.

"Northeastern Pennsylvania is already home to a number of financial firms, and this initiative is essential to continuing the area's advancement and economic growth," said Gov. Rendell. "It will also strengthen New York City's status as the financial capitol of the world by providing firms there with mission-critical data back-up."

The highly resilient fiber network will provide business continuity, recovery and data replication for the financial services industry. Level 3 Communications, Inc. , a global leader in telecommunications solutions, will build what is known as a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical network. The network will provide integrated data communications and support a variety of applications, including: synchronous data replication, streaming video, video instruction and workstation video conferencing, converged networking, storage-area networks, Intranet support and support for Internet access for the end-user employees.

In addition to the fiber network, northeastern Pennsylvania offers business significant advantages, including:

-- Power, water and transportation systems separate from New York City -- Central location with easy access to New York City, Philadelphia, Washington -- Low operating, energy and real estate costs -- Substantial business tax incentives -- An educated, dedicated and productive workforce

"Northeastern Pennsylvania is ideally situated to provide back-up operations for Wall Street firms -- close, but not too close," said Catherine Bolton, Project Director at Wall Street West. "With the implementation of this fiber network, we are able to meet the diverse needs of the financial services industry, while providing a low cost of doing business and exceptional quality of life."

"With world-class infrastructure and the availability of talent as recognized pillars for economic success, the Administration's Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development initiative last year supplied the seed capital for educating and preparing the workforce necessary for the success of Wall Street West," said Emily Stover DeRocco, U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training. "Today's announcement on the delivery of a fiber optic network to this region unites the infrastructure to the talent development strategies already being implemented in northeast Pennsylvania."

About Wall Street West

Wall Street West is a not-for-profit partnership of more than two dozen local, regional and statewide economic development agencies, technology investment groups, workforce development organizations, educational and research institutions and experts from the private sector. The group secured a $15 million Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to help fund its effort to attract New York City-based financial institutions to establish their back-up and back- room operations in the region.

Object Consulting Integrates Application Delivery Methodology with Compuware Changepoint to Create New Solution for Better IT Management Decision MakingObject Consulting to Present New Solution that Balances IT Portfolio Management with Application Delivery Management at Global Compuware Partner Summit

DETROIT, June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Object Consulting today announced that they will be speaking at the Compuware Partner Summit (http://www.compuware.com/partnersummit/) about their new comprehensive solution that integrates Object's proven, world-class application delivery methodology, Process MeNtOR, into the Compuware Changepoint portfolio management platform. Object's Application Delivery Management Workbench solution successfully addresses the conflicting demands typically placed on IT Management - how to balance IT Portfolio Management (Strategy and Planning) with that Application Delivery Management (Project Execution).

The integration of Process MeNtOR with Changepoint provides a dynamic, flexible and scalable platform which binds the disparate application delivery pieces together, ensures alignment to business strategy, improves team productivity and quality assurance across the software development life cycle. This integration benefits both organizations in the following ways:

-- Process MeNtOR has the process driven development methodology, but not the tools for automating the development process -- Compuware has all of the tools for application lifecycle management, from capturing requirements through to project management and application testing.

This solution provides CIOs and Application Development Managers with a set of executable project templates that extends the value of Changepoint and leverages Compuware's Application Delivery Management tools into an integrated workbench.

"We are proud to have Object Consulting showcase the new integrated solution at this year's Partner Summit," said Bob Donald, Vice President, Partner Business Development, Compuware Corporation. "The combination of Process MeNtOR; Changepoint; and Compuware's ADM solutions deliver rapid business value to companies seeking to reap the benefits of an optimized application development process in a compressed timeframe."

"We are really excited to be presenting our solution at the global Compuware Partner Summit," said Julian Edwards, Chief Operating Officer, Object Consulting. "Integrating our methodology with a world-class portfolio management solution like Changepoint will be very valuable, particularly for large organizations, and open up a range of new business opportunities. Our solution is unique in that it leverages the workflow capability of Changepoint into a 'just enough process' approach that allows process to be composed and aligned with the needs of individual projects."

Emageon and Dell Team to Bring Affordable High-end PACS with Advanced Visualization and 3D Capabilities to Small to Mid-sized Hospitals and ClinicsIntroducing a new PACS solution specifically designed for the nation's fastest growing radiology market of 20K-80K studies per year

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Emageon Inc. announced today its new RadSuite Express(TM) solution for the fast growing small to mid-sized hospital and clinic market. With this turn- key solution, facilities producing less than 80,000 radiology studies a year will now be able to install and start using a top-ranked PACS in days. RadSuite Express will give specialists and referring physicians in these smaller facilities access to the same high-end, multi-disciplinary 3D imaging tools used by radiology, orthopedic and emergency specialists in The Johns Hopkins Hospital, the #1 ranked hospital in the United States according to the U.S. News & World Report's annual rankings of "America's Best Hospitals."

Using the expertise gained from its success in the large, enterprise-level Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) market, Emageon is rolling out a simplified Web-enabled, single-server solution based on Dell technology. Emageon chose Dell because of its quality, price leadership, financing options and robust premium support services. Dell's industry-leading e-commerce capability greatly simplifies purchasing and will allow customers to quick- start their PACS operations through Emageon or by ordering the RadSuite Express solution from the http://www.dell.com/ Website.

The RadSuite Express product features the imaging best practices, optimized hanging protocols and workflow capability experience that earned Emageon the highest overall vendor rating in the new KLAS(R) April 2007 PACS Perception Report.*

Emageon has achieved an industry leading position by delivering medical image content management, advanced visualization tools and enhanced workflow for large enterprises. More than 500 hospitals and some of the nation's largest hospital operators; including the largest not-for-profit group, Ascension Health; Medical Imaging Magazine's Top Freestanding Imaging Center, Radiological Associates of Sacramento; and major top-rated hospitals in America have all chosen Emageon.

"Emageon's new RadSuite Express offering, built together with Dell, is a great example of combining a world-class software platform with the power of Dell systems to deliver a high quality solution for the health care community," said Dr. James Coffin, Dell's Vice President and General Manager of Health Care and Life Sciences. "This offering strongly supports both companies' vision and commitment to improving patient care through technology."

"We have been analyzing this market segment for some time," said Chuck Jett, Emageon's Chairman, CEO and President. "With RadSuite Express we are now leveraging the knowledge we have gained over seven years to a new market, hungry for the advantages that top-ranked PACS technology can bring -- better tools for physicians, enhanced care for patients and better operating results for hospitals. This simplified solution will be differentiated by a market leading price, long-term content management in remote data centers, on-site service through Dell's proven national support services and purchasing options to fit the customer including traditional capital purchase, lease financing and pure 'pay per study' options."

TARPON SPRINGS, Fla., June 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Solomon Technologies, Inc.

Jenner & Block is a national law firm with offices in Chicago, New York, Dallas and Washington, D.C., and comprises over 400 lawyers in various disciplines with over 250 lawyers dedicated to its litigation practice.

"We are very pleased that Jenner & Block has joined us in our infringement case against Toyota," said Gary G. Brandt, Chief Executive Officer of Solomon. "As we take the case through the appeal at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in Washington, D.C., their intellectual property knowledge and litigation experience will be invaluable to our existing legal team. As I have noted previously, Solomon strongly believes that a proper interpretation of the law, and precedents of the Appeals Court, will result in a reversal of the most critical aspects of the International Trade Commission's decision. Jenner & Block will lead Solomon's CAFC appeal."

Mr. Brandt continued, "We will periodically provide information to our shareholders on the progress of the appeal and more information regarding the specifics of the case. "

On January 11, 2006, Solomon filed an additional complaint against Toyota with the ITC seeking to exclude importation of the infringing technology. The action against Toyota and its affiliates in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, has been stayed pending resolution of the ITC action.
