Dow Jones Factiva Listen Capability Transforms the Way Users Consume NewsTime-Saving Tool Enables Users to Perform Other Tasks While Listening to Relevant News

NEW YORK, March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow Jones & Company introduced a new "text-to-speech" capability in Dow Jones Factiva that allows users to listen to the news that drives their business. With one click, users can now listen to a news article rather than read it, freeing them to do other things and multitask as the pace of business today requires.

Currently available in beta format, a "Listen to Article" link appears at the top of any full-text article with fewer than 4,000 words. The listen capability is available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish languages and automatically defaults to reading in the interface language previously selected by the user. To test the Dow Jones Factiva listen capability and hear this press release, click here.

"Dow Jones Factiva continues to set itself apart from the competition by being the first to offer text-to-speech technology in the current awareness, news and research market," said Dennis Cahill, senior vice president and chief product officer of the Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group. "This new capability builds on our commitment to provide customers with relevant news when, where and how they need it and to reinforce our No. 1 position in the marketplace."

The listen capability is a Web-based service provided by VoiceCorp (http://www.voice-corp.com/) that converts text into speech on the fly. It is made available wherever full-text articles are found, including alerts, search results and newsletters. Once the link is clicked, the listen capability uses a Flash player to read the article.

The addition of text-to-speech further builds on Dow Jones's goal of integrating various forms of multimedia content into Dow Jones Factiva. In August 2007, Dow Jones Factiva added highly relevant video and audio information including business news, CEO interviews, executive speeches, shareholders meetings, product reviews and other meaningful business content.

Dow Jones Factiva searches across more than 14,000 authoritative sources, including the exclusive combination of The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones and Reuters newswires.

First Systems Integration Alliance to Globally Serve Corporate Europe

FRANKFURT/MAIN, Germany and TEANECK, New Jersey, March 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- T-Systems and Cognizant join forces to vigorously expand their businesses

Deutsche Telekom's enterprise customer division, T-Systems, and global IT services provider, Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH), today announced that they have entered into a truly global Systems Integration alliance. The alliance is primarily aimed at catering to European corporations with global delivery requirements for system integration services. This unique partnership -- between a global delivery IT powerhouse and a European giant -- will enable customers to leverage the benefits of global delivery.

The partnership combines the onsite and offshore expertise of T-Systems and Cognizant across industry segments with an enhanced geographical footprint, a broader range of service offerings, and greater access to the best global talent. The new alliance will draw upon a combined talent base of over 110,000 employees worldwide, comprising more than 40,000 employees working offshore. Expanded operations in key geographies -- Europe, Americas and Asia -- are expected to significantly augment the growth of the two companies. As part of the new business partnership, T-Systems India and its approximately 1150 employees will be transferred to Cognizant, subject to appropriate regulatory clearance.

By harnessing the onsite, near-shore and offshore strengths of T-Systems and Cognizant, the partnership will facilitate the adoption of a global services delivery model in and beyond Europe that will enable the customers to save costs through labor arbitrage and drive business transformation and innovation through a powerful front-end deeply rooted in the local business environment. The two companies will provide customers with the synergy of local business power-business culture, language capabilities and operating philosophy-and global resources.

"This new alliance will make global delivery a reality in Europe. Strategically we are the first to give our customers unprecedented access to a new service and delivery model," stated Reinhard Clemens, management board member for business customers at Deutsche Telekom and CEO of T-Systems. So far, either Western competition has tried to integrate acquired tier-2 offshore workforces, or Indian vendors have struggled to enter the new markets of Continental Europe. Says Clemens: "Our new alliance will open up new opportunities, add significantly to T-Systems' profitability, and give both partners a stronger footing in key vertical industries. It will also bring together great talent from Cognizant and T-Systems -- allowing our systems integration business to be more vigorous in their expansion plans."

"In partnership we can deliver truly unique global IT services, bringing together our complementary strengths with the goal of dramatically increasing the value provided to customers," said Francisco D'Souza, President and CEO of Cognizant. "Both Cognizant and T-Systems have a long heritage of partnering with clients, and our joint capabilities will deliver a powerful combination of scale and agility in the key markets serviced by both companies. We also look forward to welcoming the T-Systems employees in India to the Cognizant family. We believe that this alliance will provide our joint customers with a world-class combination of deep local knowledge and market-leading global delivery platform."

Microsoft annonce que Office Live Workspace version bêta est maintenant disponible partout dans le monde

REDMOND, Washington, March 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- Les clients peuvent accéder dès maintenant à ce nouveau service qui prolonge les fonctionnalités offertes par Microsoft Office, fournit un accès à des documents stockés sur un serveur depuis n'importe quel ordinateur et offre la possibilité de partager des informations.

Microsoft Corp a annoncé aujourd'hui que Microsoft Office Live Workspace version bêta est désormais disponible au public (http://workspace.officelive.com). Il s'agit de la nouvelle extension web de Microsoft Office permettant aux utilisateurs d'accéder à leurs documents en ligne et de partager leur travail avec d'autres personnes. Office Live Workspace constitue l'une des premières initiatives à être présentée sur le marché au sein d'une nouvelle série de services en ligne proposés dans le cadre de la vision << logiciel plus services >> de Microsoft, dont la société a donné un aperçu l'automne dernier.

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

Office Live Workspace est maintenant disponible en anglais partout dans le monde. Il est possible de s'inscrire gratuitement sur http://workspace.officelive.com, à la suite de quoi vous bénéficierez d'un accès immédiat au service. Microsoft en profite pour dévoiler également un certain nombre de nouvelles fonctionnalités offertes au sein d'Office Live Workspace, telles qu'un indicateur d'activité, un système de notifications par e-mail, des liens directs et la possibilité de télécharger simultanément des documents multiples vers le serveur.

<< L'annonce faite aujourd'hui contribue à amener l'expérience << logiciel plus services >> à tous les utilisateurs qu'ils soient chez eux, au travail ou à l'école >>, a déclaré Stephen Elop, président de la division commerciale de Microsoft. << En alliant la richesse d'expérience offerte aux clients par Microsoft Office avec des offres de service flexibles et intuitives, nous fournissons une expérience informatique fluide et continue à nos 500 millions d'utilisateurs d'Office dans le monde >>.

Bénéficiez d'un accès depuis n'importe quel ordinateur ; partagez et prolongez l'expérience Microsoft Office

Office Live Workspace vous permet d'organiser des documents et des projets en ligne et de les retravailler depuis n'importe quel ordinateur. En tant qu'utilisateur, vous pouvez sauvegarder plus de 1 000 documents Microsoft Office en un endroit unique en ligne (i) ainsi qu'y accéder et les partager par le biais du web. Vous pouvez visionner et apporter des commentaires sur les documents au niveau même du navigateur, de même que créer de simples listes et notes Web et partager vos documents en temps réel grâce à l'intégration du système avec Microsoft SharedView.

Microsoft a également ajouté une série de nouvelles fonctionnalités à Office Live Workspace, sur la base en partie de commentaires apportés par les premiers testeurs bêta :

-- Indicateur d'activité. Un nouvel indicateur d'activité permet de visionner en un seul coup d'oeil toutes les activités en cours dans << l'espace de travail >> ('workspace'). -- Notifications. Les utilisateurs peuvent maintenant recevoir des notifications ou alertes par e-mail lorsque des changements sont apportés à leur << espace de travail >> ou à leurs documents. -- Liens directs. Les utilisateurs peuvent maintenant mettre en signet leur espace de travail ou simplement un élément de l'espace de travail grace à un URL unique dans une fenêtre du navigateur. -- Téléversement de fichiers multiples. Pour télécharger plusieurs fichiers simultanément vers le serveur, il suffit à l'utilisateur d'utiliser la fonction << glisser-déposer >> depuis le bureau Office. -- Fonctionnalité de partage améliorée. Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité de partage comprend une interface utilisateur plus facile à manier ainsi que la saisie semi-automatique d'adresses e-mail.

Des inscriptions par centaines de milliers à Office Live Workspace.

Depuis que la version bêta privée a été dévoilée en octobre dernier, des centaines de milliers de personnes se sont inscrites pour tester la version bêta et plusieurs milliers d'utilisateurs issus de la phase de préinscription ont été invités à fournir leurs commentaires sur le service. L'équipe d'Office a également travaillé en collaboration avec un certain nombre d'universités américaines, telles que le Florida Community College à Jacksonville, l'Université de Pennsylvanie, l'Université de Washington, l'Université de Wisconsin-Parkside ainsi que Vanderbilt University, où un certain nombre de participants parmi les étudiants, les professeurs et les membres du personnel administratif utilisent actuellement le système afin d'améliorer le partage d'informations et la collaboration à l'intérieur de la salle de classe de même qu'au sein de projets de groupes ou bien de projets parascolaires entre étudiants.

<< Que ce soit dans la salle de classe ou au sein de nos applications informatiques, nous avons essayé plusieurs formes de collaboration >>, a expliqué Matthew Jett Hall, adjoint au vice-chancelier (service informatique) et co-architecte d'information en chef (infrastructure d'entreprise) à Vanderbilt University. << Microsoft Office Live Workspace associe la facilité d'utilisation fantastique que l'on peut attendre de Microsoft Office avec la commodité et la sécurité du stockage Web. On gagne donc sur les deux tableaux tout en ayant la possibilité de collaborer, de modifier et de partager des informations comme cela ne l'avait jamais été possible auparavant. Il s'agit d'une excellente réalisation d'un concept fantastique >>.

Jason Liu, étudiant de dernière année en génie biomédical à Duke University, utilise lui aussi Office Live Workspace. << Je ne sais pas comment je ferais sans Office Live Workspace. Cela m'a non seulement aidé à m'organiser mais a également un énorme impact sur la façon dont j'accède à mes documents et les partage >>, a expliqué Liu. << Grâce à ce service, il est devenu tellement plus facile de savoir où j'en suis avec les différentes versions de mes documents au fur et à mesure que je progresse dans mon projet de recherche, puisque je travaille depuis plusieurs ordinateurs. Je n'ai plus besoin de clé USB ou de m'envoyer des fichiers par e-mail. L'intégration du service avec Microsoft Office me permet tout simplement d'ouvrir et de sauvegarder mes fichiers directement depuis ou vers mon 'espace de travail'. Comprendre comment tout cela fonctionne a donc été très simple et très rapide. Grâce à cette possibilité d'accéder à mes documents depuis n'importe où et de partager facilement des informations par le biais de Office Live Workspace - que ce soit au labo, dans mon bureau sur le campus ou dans mon appartement - mon expérience informatique a été grandement facilitée >>.

Office Live Workspace constitue également un élément de collaboration essentiel de l'initiative Microsoft baptisée Live@edu. En plus d'Office Live Workspace, le programme Live@edu offre aux étudiants inscrits ainsi qu'aux anciens étudiants une boîte de réception d'e-mails de 5 GB, un espace de stockage en ligne protégé par mot de passe d'une capacité de 5 GB, une fonction de partage d'agendas, des outils de blogues, ainsi que l'accès à tous ces services sur téléphone portable, tout cela sans le moindre coût, que ce soit pour les établissements ou les étudiants. L'opportunité de collaboration offerte par Office Live Workspace est cruciale pour permettre aux étudiants et aux professeurs de travailler ensemble en ligne. C'est également aujourd'hui que, au sein d'une initiative plus large de la part de Live@edu, l'Université de Wisconsin-Parkside introduit Office Live Workspace sur l'ensemble de son campus en le mettant à la disposition de ses 16 000 étudiants actifs, à la fois ceux entrant en première année et ceux qui continuent leurs études, mais aussi de ses anciens élèves et de plus de 700 membres du corps enseignant et membres de l'administration. Depuis le lancement de Microsoft Live@edu en mars 2005, plus de 600 établissements répartis dans 40 pays dans le monde ont choisi la suite de services Live@edu. Pour plus d'informations sur Microsoft Live@edu, veuillez vous rendre sur : http://get.live.com/edu.

Concours Office Live Workspace

Microsoft lance également aujourd'hui un grand concours avec possibilité, pour les utilisateurs d'Office Live Workspace basés aux Etats-Unis, de remporter un lot d'une valeur de 100 000 USD. Plus de 30 000 prix seront offerts, comprenant une somme de 100 000 USD que le gagnant pourra utiliser pour contribuer au financement d'une éducation universitaire, au lancement d'une entreprise ou de son association caritative préférée - au choix de l'individu. Le concours se déroulera jusqu'au 11 mai 2008 et le vainqueur sera sélectionné vers le 15 mai 2008. Microsoft décernera le lot exceptionnel de 100 000 USD ainsi que, tous les jours et toutes les semaines, une série de plus de 30 000 lots comprenant des consoles de jeu vidéo Xbox 360 Elite, des téléphones intelligents Samsung Blackjack II, des baladeurs numériques Zune de 30GB, des bons d'hôtels et séjours vacances Expedia, ainsi que Microsoft Office Professional 2007. Pour avoir une chance de gagner, il suffit de s'inscrire à Office Live Workspace. Les participants peuvent également obtenir jusqu'à deux chances de gagner supplémentaires lorsqu'ils téléchargent leur premier document dans leur compte Office Live Workspace ainsi que la première fois qu'ils partagent un document ou un espace de travail. Davantage d'informations sur le concours sont disponibles sur : http://www.officelive.com/workspace/sweepstakes.

Prix et disponibilité de la version bêta

Microsoft Office Live Workspace est offert gratuitement. Microsoft prévoit de mettre à disposition le programme bêta dans plusieurs langues différentes au cours de l'année pour les marchés internationaux et compte sortir la version publique finale d'Office Live Workspace vers la fin de l'année.

CARLSBAD, Calif., March 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc. , a multi-point social interactive entertainment company, announces its presence as part of SeeSaw Network's "life pattern marketing" booth (#111) at the upcoming American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA) Conference, "Digital Changes Everything," in Orlando, Florida on March 5-7.

At the AAAA Conference, the participants can experience "A Day in the Life of a Mobile Millennial", and gain first-hand knowledge of how Life Pattern Marketing is an effective strategic advertising tool. The SeeSaw booth will feature an area that closely mimics the Buzztime experience by showing Buzztime interactive games in a hospitality-like environment. To illustrate that the Buzztime player is actively engaged and having fun in a social environment, the attendees will interact using wireless Buzztime Playmakers(R).
