ACS Awarded Contract to Provide Comprehensive Outsourcing Services for CAQH

DALLAS, March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. announced today that it has been awarded a contract to provide business process outsourcing (BPO), information technology outsourcing (ITO), and customer care services for CAQH, the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare. The multi-million dollar deal has a five and one-half year term with two one-year options, including a six-month implementation period.

CAQH is a nonprofit alliance of health plans and trade associations collaborating on initiatives that simplify healthcare administration for health plans and providers, resulting in a better care experience for patients and caregivers.

Under the terms of the contract, ACS will integrate its state-of-the-art document and customer relationship management systems with web applications to support CAQH's Universal Credentialing Datasource(R) (UCD) service. UCD is a web-based, single-source data-capture solution that eliminates the need for caregivers across the nation to complete and submit multiple credentialing and re-credentialing applications, thus reducing the time and expense devoted to unnecessary administrative functions. More than 550,000 providers and other health professionals use the service, and more than 10,000 join monthly. CAQH estimates that UCD saves providers more than $81 million annually and, to date, has eliminated more than 2 million paper applications.

"CAQH and its member companies have a deep commitment to improving the healthcare process for patients and providers," said Ronald A. Williams, CAQH chairman of the board and chairman and chief executive officer of Aetna. "The Universal Credentialing Datasource is an example of what dedicated industry leadership can do by leveraging technology to support improvements in the healthcare system. This agreement will allow us to strengthen our position as the largest, most accurate repository of provider and credentialing information in the marketplace."

ACS will begin providing a range of BPO, ITO, and customer care solutions during summer 2008, including mailroom services, document imaging, application processing, and data entry. The company will also provide data center management, IT operations, applications development, and integration services, as well as help desk support.

"Partnering with an industry thought leader like CAQH allows ACS to continue to play a significant role in helping to streamline healthcare's many administrative processes," said Scott Mingee, ACS vice president of business development. "Our robust, cost-effective solutions can be leveraged by industry payers, hospitals, and networks to reduce time and expense, allowing caregivers to concentrate on providing quality, affordable healthcare."

Along with complementary BPO and ITO solutions, ACS will employ and integrate Contact Workspace, its proprietary customer relationship management application, with UCD to improve the customer experience. Contact Workspace gives ACS customer care representatives a single desktop application to retrieve data and images from multiple sources. The application has endless potential to streamline customer service and business processes for the company's many healthcare clients.

"We have an outstanding record of proven, innovative performance in the healthcare arena. Our services and expertise enable us to support large-scale projects and make us an ideal partner for achieving strategic growth in the healthcare industry," said Mingee. "Our team of specialists is dedicated to designing and tailoring solutions that eradicate costs, increase efficiency, and improve service to payers and providers alike. We look forward to putting this array of talent to work for CAQH."

"ACS has the tools, development expertise, and flexibility we need to meet our growth expectations for UCD and help our participating health plans, hospitals, MCOs, and providers realize even greater administrative efficiencies," said Robin Thomashauer, CAQH executive director.

CAQH initiatives, such as UCD, help promote quality interactions between plans, providers, and other stakeholders, reduce costs and frustrations associated with healthcare administration, facilitate administrative healthcare information exchange, and encourage administrative and clinical data integration.

Cimatron to Exhibit Concurrent Engineering and Newly Released CAD/CAM Capabilities at WESTECCimatron's Support for Concurrent Design and Manufacturing Helps Toolmakers and Manufacturers Optimize Production Processes and Reduce Product Delivery Times

GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visitors to the 2008 WESTEC tradeshow (March 31 - April 3, 2008, Los Angeles, California) will have the opportunity to learn first hand about Cimatron's advanced concurrent engineering capabilities. In addition, new CAD/CAM enhancements recently released by Cimatron will also be demonstrated at the show.

Cimatron's CAD/CAM solutions address the entire process-from quoting through design, engineering changes, NC, and EDM programming to delivery-helping tool makers and manufacturers deliver higher quality tools and products at lower costs and shorter cycle times.

Concurrent Engineering

Cimatron's concurrent engineering capabilities improve productivity and collaboration and significantly compress product delivery times.

Concurrent design capabilities are built into Cimatron's CAD applications, enabling multiple users to simultaneously work on the same assembly and shortening the design cycle. Starting with the new release of CimatronE version 8.5, these concurrent design capabilities are available throughout the entire CAD product line.

Cimatron's support for concurrent engineering extends beyond the design phase. The integrated end-to-end design-to-manufacturing solution uses a single database that provides complete associatively and enables multiple steps of the design and manufacturing process to be performed in parallel.

These concurrent engineering capabilities and more will be demonstrated at Cimatron's booth #3375 at the WESTEC show.

"Looking at tooling design and manufacturing as an integrated process can help toolmakers and manufacturers accelerate delivery times and improve product quality," said Bill Gibbs, CEO and President, Cimatron Technologies, Inc. "We are excited to share with WESTEC attendees these solutions for success."

Also on display at the show will be new capabilities recently released in CimatronE version 8.5. These include modified NC reports, enhancements to the Automated Drill application, spiral cut milling and 3-5 Axis transformations in 5-Axis Production, integrated CADENAS catalogs, and "blank on binder" (for die makers).

Numerical Control

Modified NC Setup Reports: Facilitating information flow between NC programmers and the shop floor, a new mechanism has been added to CimatronE NC that allows automatic generation of NC reports as you post-process a program or as separate action, providing detailed information about a set of selected procedures. This information includes specifics about the project and provider, as well as tool paths, procedures, tools and parameters and even gives the ability to add images, providing a handy tool for precision. Customizable reports for the shop floor can be modified to include user-specific data.

Automated Drill: Milling operations such as pocketing, profiling and threading cycles, are now available in CimatronE Automated Drill application, allowing users to include and reuse milling sequences from libraries, increasing efficiency and accuracy.

5-Axis Production: CimatronE version 8.5 features new enhancements to the 5-Axis Production application, including spiral cut milling, 3-5 Axis transformations, and advances in impeller roughing.

Integrated CADENAS Catalogs

CADENAS PARTsolutions is now integrated into CimatronE 8.5, enabling tool makers to shorten design cycles by incorporating ready-made CADENAS catalog parts into Cimatron tool assemblies.

While the catalog functionality has long been available in Cimatron's software, the CADENAS catalogs place thousands of new standard components at the disposal of Cimatron users, eliminating many of the manual and time-consuming steps in the tool design process.

"Blank on Binder" for Die Makers

Creating intermediate binder blanking surfaces and unfolding the part on these faces is one of the most challenging tasks in the die design process. In most cases, accurate results can only be achieved after a laborious and expensive trial and error process.

Based on a finite element analysis, CimatronE's "Blank on Binder" enables the user to perform this task and unfold freeform shapes onto a 3D geometry with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

AT&T Honored as One of America's Top Corporations for Women's Business EnterprisesCompany Selected by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council as a Leader in Supplier Diversity Programs

SAN ANTONIO, March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. announced today that the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation's leading advocate of women-owned businesses as suppliers to America's corporations, has named AT&T as one of America's Top Corporations for Women's Business Enterprises (WBEs).

This is the ninth consecutive year that AT&T has received this honor from WBENC. The company has been included among the top corporations since the list's inception.

AT&T was selected for this list because it successfully demonstrates a substantial commitment, both qualitatively and quantitatively, to enhancing contracting opportunities for WBEs. AT&T and 15 other corporate leaders will be recognized tomorrow at the WBENC's special awards presentation in Washington, D.C.

"Supplier diversity is an integral part of AT&T's business, and women business enterprises contribute to our company's growth and success," said Tim Harden, AT&T president of Supply Chain and Fleet Operations. "We are honored to receive this award from WBENC because it is a reflection of our world-class supplier diversity initiatives."

AT&T has received numerous honors for the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion. In 2006 and 2007, AT&T topped DiversityBusiness.com's list of the Top Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities, based on the quality of business opportunities that AT&T consistently grants to minority- and women-owned companies. AT&T ranked third among DiversityInc's 2007 Top 50 Companies for Diversity for the company's commitment to diversity in the workplace and marketplace.

This year, AT&T is celebrating 40 years of supplier diversity excellence. AT&T's supplier diversity programs are designed to promote, increase and improve the quality of the overall participation of businesses in the company's supply chain that are owned by minorities, women and disabled veterans. AT&T's supplier diversity leadership has helped launch several best practices for supply chain inclusion. In 1989, the company was one of the first to implement a formalized second-tier program, which has been effective in broadening the spectrum of opportunities for diverse suppliers within telecommunications and other industries.

AT&T is a member of the Billion Dollar Roundtable, a supplier diversity think tank of corporations that spend more than $1 billion annually with diverse companies. Only 13 member companies qualify at this level. Supplier diversity is a critical initiative of AT&T's business strategy and a key component of the company's plan to deliver the best products and services to its customers. In 2007, AT&T spent $5 billion with diverse suppliers, representing 12.5 percent of the company's procurement base. This amount includes spending $1.8 billion with women business enterprises.

Intelligentias Increases Sales Coverage Throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Acknowledging the growing interest in massively scalable data retention solutions among governments, law enforcement agencies, and communications service providers, Intelligentias, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ITLI) is expanding its sales organization to address customers throughout all of Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa. The new sales team of 27 includes seasoned professionals with years of experience at network equipment manufacturers and systems integrators in select regions.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080319/AQW115LOGO)

"Due to increased threats of terrorism and organized crime, we have seen a corresponding interest in data retention solutions by law enforcement agencies, telcos, and ISPs," says Paul Di Leo, Vice President of Global Sales. According to Di Leo, the explosive growth within the sector is leading to additional hiring of sales representatives and support personnel in South and Central America and Asia. "We're currently working on hundreds of deals in our pipeline."

A Unique Solution

The Intelligentias Retentia(R) Data Retention Suite is the only solution on the market with proven scalability -- able to capture, index, normalize, encrypt, and compress over 10 billion data records per day and to retrieve query results from data pools as large as three trillion records in near real time. Retentia is not based on a relational database but is instead a file system built specifically to perform massive volume data indexing. It was specifically designed for use by telecommunications companies such as ISPs and telcos, law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and enterprise customers. Without the overhead of a relational database, Retentia can work faster, with less hardware, and is more adaptable to the needs of diverse users.

"The timing is right for our solution, as law enforcement agencies are requesting that the communications service providers maintain massive data repositories to help catch criminals and terrorists," says Ian Rice, CEO of Intelligentias. "Retentia captures, indexes, encrypts, and compresses trillions of call data records (CDRs) and Internet Protocol detail records (IPDRs) in near real-time from virtually any network element -- servers, switches, routers, applications and logs. And our Web interface helps pull other disparate data records together seamlessly for law enforcement -- essentially enabling a Google-like platform for data forensics."

About Intelligentias, Inc.

Intelligentias, Inc. is a publicly-traded U.S. corporation based in Redwood City, California, with offices in Rome and London. The company began developing solutions for the demanding environment of large communications service providers such as Telecom Italia in 1991. Today, the Retentia solution includes features such as massive scalability based on a proprietary and purpose built file system, compression for 50 percent lower storage requirements, full encryption for maximum security, and the ability to capture and correlate multiple data types.
