Autodesk Provides Students with Competitive Design Edge at FIRST Robotics ChampionshipAutodesk and FIRST inspire enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering and math among high school students worldwide

ATLANTA, April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thousands of high school students are jumping ahead of the curve at the 2008 FIRST Robotics Competition Championship this weekend, with the help of $17 million in professional software and mentoring resources provided by Autodesk, Inc. . The April 17-19 event at the Georgia Dome attracts more than 20,000 spectators and is a culmination of 41 regional competitions involving more than 37,000 students from all over the world. Autodesk is sponsoring the competition for the 17th consecutive year, working with Dean Kamen's FIRST organization (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) to help inspire student interest in science, technology, engineering and math and to train the next generation of professionals to fill an impending global engineering talent shortage.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080415/AQTU102-a http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080415/AQTU102-b)

Students participating in the competition are well-positioned to help fill a void noted in U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, which project scientific and engineering job opportunities will continue to grow more rapidly than jobs in general (26% versus 15% overall) through 2012(1), Further, U.S. graduation rates for students declined by 23 percent between 1985 and 2000, and Europe and Asia now graduate three-to-five times as many engineers as does the United States.(2) The shortage is compounded by poor performance, with U.S. students ranking only 12th among developed nations in median science test scores(3). This engineering gap exists globally as well, as only 25 to 30 percent of India's engineering and science graduates are "suitable" for careers in their chosen field, according to the head of India's National Association of Software and Services companies.

"Sliding student science scores, combined with a wave of retiring Baby Boomers, mean the United States will face a serious engineering gap in the very near future," said Paul Mailhot, senior director of worldwide education programs at Autodesk. "Autodesk and FIRST are helping to close this gap by inspiring enthusiasm and excitement for science and math at an early age, a focus that helps spur student interest in the pursuit of advanced education and future careers in design and engineering. Gaining real-world experience by using tools used by professionals, while working side by side with mentors who might one day employ them, FIRST students have a competitive edge and are our nation's hope for a strong engineering workforce in the future."

Through its 17 years of supporting the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), Autodesk has provided students more than $100 million in mentoring resources and advanced design and engineering software, including Autodesk Inventor, 3ds Max and Autodesk Combustion. Autodesk is proud to participate in a program that has produced quantifiable results in career development. A Brandeis University study(4) compared FIRST student participants to their counterparts not involved in FIRST, finding:

-- FIRST students are more than three times as likely to major specifically in engineering; -- More than twice as likely to pursue a career in science and technology; -- Nearly four times as likely to pursue a career specifically in engineering; -- More than twice as likely to volunteer in their communities

"My involvement with FIRST has led to tremendous success," said Robert Thacker-Dey, former FIRST participant and current honors student at Penn State University. "For four years, I lived and breathed Autodesk Inventor, and Autodesk professionals actually told our team that we use the program more efficiently than some professional engineers. I was able to obtain a full academic scholarship, in large part because of my participation in FIRST and exposure to Autodesk tools. FIRST has given me the motivational legs to walk on, and Autodesk has given me the thinking process and strategy to become an engineer with a three-dimensional mindset."

To help spark further student excitement around engineering and design, Autodesk is once again hosting two companion competitions in conjunction with the FRC. The Autodesk Inventor Design Competition (http://firstbasefrc.autodesk.com/?nd=competition) recognizes the team with the top mechanical robot design using Autodesk Inventor software, which is the foundation for Digital Prototyping. The Autodesk Design Visualization Competition awards the team with the best 3D animation, using award-winning Autodesk 3ds Max (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=5659302&siteID=123112) modeling, animation and rendering software. To qualify for the Visualization award, the animation must fit this year's challenge to develop community-enhancing inventions, such as, multiple uses for grey water, alternative transportation, alternative energy, automated trash collection, car and traffic safety, water testing, etc. Overall winners of these competitions will be announced this weekend at the championship event.

Autodesk is also sponsoring the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) through donations of Autodesk Inventor software and customized training, and resources to student competitors. The FTC is complementary to the FIRST Robotics Program, bringing its spirit and values to a greater number of students and schools of varying resources. More than 8,000 high-school-aged students from the United States, Canada and competed in FTC tournaments from November 2007 through April 2008 and will also hold their final activities at the FIRST Championship in Atlanta, Georgia.

Equifax to Enter Russia through Investment in Leading Credit Information Company

ATLANTA, April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Equifax Inc. , a global leader in information solutions, announced today it has agreed to acquire a 28 percent equity stake in Global Payments Credit Services LLC (GPCS), a leading credit information company in Russia, from Global Payments Europe, s.r.o., a subsidiary of Global Payments Inc. , and Home Credit and Finance Bank of Russia (Home Credit).

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060224/CLF037LOGO )

Pending regulatory approval, Equifax will re-brand the company and assume responsibility for its operations. Based on meeting certain conditions in the Shareholder Agreement, Equifax will have the ability to acquire up to 50 percent, the current legal limit for any owner.

Equifax's plans for Russia reflect its execution against the company's stated strategy to expand into the four targeted geographies of India, Russia, China and Mexico, where the company can leverage technology, data assets and analytics to help customers make critical business decisions in growing markets. Equifax today operates in 14 countries in North America, Latin America and Europe, and recently announced its intent to enter India pending regulatory approvals.

Global Payments Europe and Home Credit have operated GPCS as a joint venture since acquiring the company in 2005. Global Payments Europe is the leading provider of cashless payment services for corporate clients in the Czech Republic and also provides services to clients in Central and Eastern Europe and the Russian Federation. Home Credit is the market leader in consumer finance in the Russian Federation and is committed to continue investing in its expansion in Russia by building new regional branches, bringing modern loan products and providing superb service to its customers. It is a subsidiary of Home Credit B.V., a Netherlands based holding company.

"The growth in credit in the Russian economy provides a significant opportunity for Equifax to assist Russian financial institutions seeking a competitive advantage from credit information, analytics and value added services," said Trey Loughran, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, for Equifax. "We are thrilled to be working with Global Payments Europe and Home Credit, established leaders in the Russia market with a considerable amount of experience and understanding of the Russian credit economy. We fully expect that the combination of expertise from these established leaders and Equifax will allow Equifax Russia to be the leading provider of credit information solutions in Russia."

In just three years, GPCS has built a database to include nearly 20 million records on over 14 million individuals from more than 50 data providers under contract. This makes GPCS a leading credit bureau in Russia, according to the Central Catalog of Credit Histories, the regulator of credit bureaus for the Russian Federation. Russia's thriving economy has resulted in a fast-growing credit market - from mortgages and auto loans to express loans. The Russian household lending market grew 75 percent in 2006 alone, to approximately US$32.5 billion. Retail lending as a percentage of GDP is 8 percent, versus approximately 100 percent in the United States and 50 percent in Germany, indicating a significant potential for future credit growth. Russia's middle class has expanded considerably as monthly wages have doubled in the last three years and annual economic growth has hovered near 7 percent since 1999. Recent legislation requiring Russian financial institutions to share data with at least one credit bureau has accelerated the credit information market in Russia and has allowed independent credit bureaus like GPCS to develop larger and more accurate data sets.

"We have managed to build a credit bureau with the largest database in Russia in just a few short years," said Stanislav Coufal, Chairman of the Board for GPCS. "We believe that our strong market position will be reinforced by our new partnership with Equifax. Combining our large, high quality database with Equifax's technologies should make for a winning combination. We are looking forward to not only solidifying our leading credit bureau position, but also to accelerating its growth."

Pavel Vyhnalek, the Group Chief Risk Officer for the Home Credit Group commented, "As Russia builds one of the world's strongest economies, Home Credit as well as other lenders depend on a comprehensive and reliable credit reporting system to meet a skyrocketing appetite of individuals and families to purchase consumer goods and to keep loan portfolios within the targeted risk profile. In order to widen its recent customer base, Home Credit needs to partner with a strong, experienced and flexible provider of reliable credit assessment and customer verification that allows the bank to offer various lending products, including credit cards, across different consumer segments in Russia. As the world's leading credit reporting company, Equifax brings the necessary products, technologies and experience to build upon the foundation we created."

JDSU Introduces T-BERD(R)/MTS-6000A; Delivers Industry's Smallest 10 GigE Field Tester with Advanced IPTV and Triple-Play Service Test Features

MILPITAS, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU today announced the latest generation of its T-BERD/MTS optical tester line, the T-BERD/MTS-6000A Multi-Services Application Module, the industry's most compact 10 GigE multi-function tester for the installation and maintenance of Carrier Ethernet and IP services. The T-BERD/MTS-6000A is on display this week at Ethernet Expo Europe 2008 in London, April 14-16 (booth 219).

Testing high-bandwidth services like IPTV has become a requirement beyond the access network because of the convergence of cost-effective Carrier Ethernet networks and high-bandwidth triple-play services. This convergence is complicated by the development and deployment of a number of new Ethernet technologies such as Provider Backbone Bridge Transport (PBT), requiring significant qualification during the design and deployment phase to ensure QoS of business and residential triple-play services.

"High-bandwidth triple-play services are driving new test needs and are a main cause of the drastic rise in 10GigE circuits -- and the need for a new handheld metro core tester like the T-BERD/MTS-6000A Multi-Services Application Module," said Jim Nerschook, vice president and general manager of JDSU's telecommunication field services (TFS) product group in the JDSU Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "Thanks to its multi-function capabilities, the T-BERD/MTS-6000A enables a quick return on capital investment, reduces mean time to repair and simplifies testing -- which reduces operational expenses."

With field applications for servicing Metro Core telecom networks, wireless/cable switch centers and backhaul networks, government telecommunications and network equipment manufacturer field installation and support groups, the Multi-Services Application Module is the latest innovation for the award-winning, industry-leading T-BERD/MTS family of test solutions. The MTS/T-BERD product line has built a solid worldwide reputation based on cutting-edge design and performance. Compatibility with thousands of field-proven units deployed worldwide by every major telecommunications network operator enables easy migration to new network technologies while continuing to reduce expenses.

Technical features of the Multi-Services Application Module includes the combination in one product a high degree of test power including 10 GigE, IP Video, TCP/UDP, FTP test and support for Ethernet and SONET/SDH up to 10GigE/10G on the same physical port. A powerful user interface helps the technician quickly set up and evaluate tests as well as troubleshoot problems, reducing operational expense.

WorldSage, Inc. (Formerly 'GlobalMedia.com') Announces Effectiveness of Reincorporation Into Delaware and Merger With WorldSage, Inc., and Stock Symbol Change to 'WRSG.PK'

CUPERTINO, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WorldSage, Inc. ("WorldSage" or the "Company"), a Delaware non-publicly reporting company whose shares are publicly quoted for sale on the Pink Sheets (formerly "GlobalMedia.com"), today announced that effective April 11, 2008, it consummated its reincorporation from Nevada to Delaware, followed immediately thereafter by the consummation of the merger of WorldSage, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation ("WorldSage Private"), with and into WorldSage (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger, (i) the business of WorldSage Private was assumed and will be continued by WorldSage as the surviving corporation, (ii) each of the 22,939,390 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of WorldSage Private were converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock of WorldSage, (iii) each of the 1,061,536 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of WorldSage Private were converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of WorldSage, and (iv) each issued and outstanding option and warrant exercisable for 45,000 and 102,821 shares of Common Stock of WorldSage Private, respectively, were assumed and converted into an option or warrant, as applicable, exercisable for Common Stock of WorldSage, in a transaction intended to qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free transaction within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The exercise prices and other terms of the outstanding options and warrants remained unchanged. Following effectiveness of the Merger, WorldSage's outstanding shares total 23,290,833 shares of Common Stock and 1,061,536 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, for an aggregate total of 24,352,369 shares of capital stock issued and outstanding, and issued and outstanding options and warrants to purchase 45,000 and 102,821 shares of Common Stock, respectively. In addition, effective April 11, 2008, the following persons were appointed as the officers and directors of WorldSage: (i) John Grillos, Chief Executive Officer, President, and director; (ii) Laird Q. Cagan, Chairman of the Board of Directors; (iii) Gail Babitt, Chief Financial Officer; (iv) Dr. Barbara Kurshan, Executive Vice President; and (v) Michael McTeigue, Secretary.

WorldSage also announced today that effective April 15, 2008, its trading symbol has been changed to "WRSG.PK" from its previous trading symbol "WSGI.PK."

WorldSage was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1997 under the name "Global Media Corp." In 2000, WorldSage changed its name from "Global Media Corp." to "GlobalMedia.com," and in 2006 again changed its name to "WorldSage, Inc." As GlobalMedia.com, the company operated as a media company. In early 2001, GlobalMedia.com entered into bankruptcy in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (in Bankruptcy) (the "Court"), pursuant to which all known claims against GlobalMedia.com were compromised and satisfied with the GlobalMedia.com assets available for distribution. In November 2005, the trustee in bankruptcy of the GlobalMedia.com estate was discharged by the Court. According to Canadian bankruptcy law, GlobalMedia.com never emerged from bankruptcy in Canada, although it continues as a legal entity in the United States. However, the applicable Canadian statutes of limitations with respect to all known claims have expired. GlobalMedia.com conducted no business or operations following its entry into bankruptcy in 2001 through September 2006, during which period it was deemed to be a "shell" company, but not a "blank check" company, under regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and had no business operations and only nominal assets. In late 2006, GlobalMedia.com entered into a series of transactions whereby it (i) entered into a merger agreement with WorldSage Private, (ii) borrowed $3.0 million from Laird Q. Cagan pursuant to a secured promissory note, (iii) entered in a operating expense funding agreement, as amended, with WorldSage Private pursuant to which it loaned an aggregate of $3.0 million to WorldSage Private prior to the consummation of the Merger ("Loan Agreement"), and (iv) changed it name to "WorldSage, Inc."

WorldSage Private was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 5, 2006 with a business model focused on the creation of a leading, global system of private higher education institutions capable of addressing the evolving career needs of Twenty-First Century students, which business model has been assumed by WorldSage following the Merger. WorldSage's initial goal is to combine the bricks and mortar acquisition strategy of Laureate Education Inc. with the on-line growth strategy of Apollo Group, Inc., while establishing deep and long-term relationships with its students and the employers for whom its students are being educated.

Since 2005, WorldSage's founders have focused on identifying and engaging potential acquisition targets in Europe. In 2008, WorldSage plans to expand its worldwide search for potential acquisition targets by broadening its focus to include Asia and Latin America. WorldSage has identified and engaged in acquisition discussions with over 60 education systems with combined revenues of $1 billion and combined earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") between ten percent (10%) and twenty percent (20%) of revenues. On October 3, 2007 WorldSage (as WorldSage Private) consummated the acquisition of DCT International Hotel & Business Management School ("DCT"), a private school in Switzerland with revenues of approximately $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. WorldSage is also currently in negotiations for the acquisition of several other European schools. WorldSage believes that it has a two-year lead on likely competitors, and an acquisition pipeline that will allow WorldSage to achieve its financial goals.

In the fourth quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2008, WorldSage (through WorldSage Private prior to the Merger) raised an aggregate of approximately $1.6 million from qualified investors in a private equity financing.

WorldSage currently operates at a loss with no inception to date revenues through September 30, 2007. The financial information for WorldSage has not been audited in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the financial information could be materially different after WorldSage undergoes its first audit. Additionally, the financial information does not reflect (i) the financial summary of WorldSage giving affect to the acquisition of DCT, (ii) the additional capital required by WorldSage for working capital for DCT, which includes approximately $0.3 million paid to the lessor of DCT on their behalf in December 2007, or (iii) the contingent payment of approximately $0.2 million to a seller of DCT if such seller elects to require WorldSage to repurchase the 85,390 shares of WorldSage Common Stock issued to such seller in the DCT transaction. As of September 30, 2007, WorldSage has approximately $1.0 million of total current assets, all of which is cash held by WorldSage, after giving affect to the transfer of funds in October 2007 from WorldSage to WorldSage Private under the Loan Agreement, defined later herein. WorldSage has approximately $3.7 million of current liabilities, including (i) principal, accrued interest and fees of approximately $3.1 million, after giving affect to the transfer of funds in October 2007 from WorldSage to WorldSage Private under the Loan Agreement, and (ii) $0.6 million of obligations related to accrued bonuses and accounts payable.

The following is the summary financial information for DCT, a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary of WorldSage that conducts business in Swiss Francs ("CHF"). This financial information represents the results of operations of DCT based upon information obtained from DCT's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the internal unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. The financial statements for DCT were prepared under Swiss Obligation Law in CHF, and are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and do not reflect adjustments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141"), as issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board. This financial information could be materially different after applying U.S. GAAP and SFAS No. 141. Additionally, this financial information could be materially different from the year ended December 31, 2007 through the current period and for future operations. DCT revenues decreased approximately 0.8 million CHF or 14.8% to approximately 4.4 million CHF for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately 5.2 million CHF for the year ended December 31, 2006. Total DCT agent commissions, personnel costs and other operating expenses decreased approximately 0.1 million CHF or 2.6% to approximately 4.7 million CHF for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately 4.8 million CHF for the year ended December 31, 2006. DCT EBITDA decreased from approximately 0.2 million CHF for the year ended December 31, 2006 to an EBITDA loss of approximately 0.3 million CHF for the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, DCT had approximately 1.5 million CHF in total assets, approximately 0.4 million CHF of which was cash and cash equivalents and approximately 0.8 million CHF was non-current assets. As of December 31, 2007, DCT had approximately 1.7 million CHF in total liabilities, of which approximately 1.3 million CHF is current and approximately 0.3 million CHF is a loan from WorldSage. The current DCT liabilities primarily reflect advance and current payments of unearned student fees. WorldSage (as WorldSage Private) purchased DCT because management values the curriculum and sees opportunities to increase revenues and profits. DCT is in the process of changing its fiscal year end to September 30 and preparing for an audit under U.S. GAAP for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

WorldSage's business is the acquisition and combination of successful, career-focused, higher education institutions, initially in the Europe, and later in Asia, Latin America and the United States, with an educational strategy built on the following pillars:

-- Acquiring schools with proven track records run by visionary education entrepreneurs who are passionate about building and growing profitable businesses while educating the global workforce for the ever-changing needs of the Twenty-First Century. -- Binding WorldSage schools, employers and students together by providing services complementary with education to its constituent groups. This idea comes from the schools, which at some level have had to work with employers, who often subsidize the education of their employees. WorldSage will take this idea to the next level. Through program development and acquisitions, WorldSage intends to provide such services as: -- Learning centers located at employer sites. -- Graduate skill renewal programs. -- Tracking and career management programs for graduates. -- Employer designed learning programs. -- Recruiting services for graduates and employers. -- Applied research projects for employers. -- Consulting services to employers. -- Non-degree certificate and other professional development courses. -- WorldSage schools will endeavor to build on their existing practices of finding intern and paid temporary employment opportunities for students, and will strive to provide job placement services for graduates. -- Providing students access to world-class e-learning courses, curricula, and degree programs from globally recognized institutions.

The execution strategy of WorldSage is simple: acquire initial system schools, establish common systems and programs of cooperation, and grow profitably in three ways -- organically, by adding on-line programs, and by acquiring additional schools. WorldSage intends to build a world-class institution, with the discipline forced by the need for profitability and growth, and the longevity afforded by having educational services, and delivery modes relevant to the schools, their students, and employers.

As a publicly-traded company, WorldSage intends to utilize its publicly-traded capital stock, in combination with cash and debt, to acquire schools. Management anticipates that school owners who join the WorldSage system will benefit from the expected growth of the WorldSage system, while having the opportunity to remain independently managed participants in our international education system.

WorldSage's principal executive offices are located at 10600 N. DeAnza Blvd., Suite 250, Cupertino, California 95014. WorldSage can be reached by telephone at (408) 517-3318, and its website is http://www.worldsage.com/.

ASA Tire Systems' full-service ASP network supports 50 client organizations, each ranging up to a dozen locations, and accessing hosted ASP services at a data center through a network security appliance. "Our network is growing all the time," said Ray Turilli, Network Services Manager, "so our solution needed to secure large loads of traffic at peak times in the morning and evening when customers drop off or pick up their cars."

The NSA Series applies the processing power of multiple cores in unison to dramatically increase throughput and simultaneous inspection capabilities, while keeping power consumption nearly constant. The SonicWALL RFDPI engine eliminates threats over unlimited file sizes without affecting processing time and enables unrestricted concurrent connections, offering ultimate scalability. "If the vice president of operations tells me we're bringing in a new 250-location deal, I can't wait to scale up to meet that customer's needs, I've got to get it going right away," said Turilli. "The NSA 3500 lets me handle up to 800 remote locations, so that we'll rely on getting long-term returns on our investment."

With high-availability, advanced routing and high-speed VPN technology, the NSA Series adds security, reliability, functionality and productivity to branch offices, central sites and distributed mid-enterprise networks, while minimizing cost and complexity. The NSA series also applies next-generation Unified Threat Management (UTM) against a comprehensive array of attacks, combining intrusion prevention, anti-virus and anti-spyware with the application-level control of SonicWALL Application Firewall.

"Customers want a continually evolving Unified Threat Management solution that offers secure real-time internal and external network protection without compromising network performance," said Jon Kuhn, director of product marketing, SonicWALL. "With this in mind, we designed the NSA series from the ground up with multi-core acceleration hardware and multi-function security capabilities delivering unprecedented performance and inspection capabilities making networks extremely efficient and predictable."

Sirit Readers and Reva TAP Appliances Deployed at METRO Group's Expanded RFID Roll-OutAdditional 200 Real hypermarket stores to be equipped with RFID infrastructure

TORONTO and CHELMSFORD, MA, April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sirit Inc. ("Sirit") (TSX: SI), a leading provider of radio frequency identification ("RFID") technology, and Reva Systems, the leading RFID network infrastructure provider, announced today that METRO Group is deploying Sirit's INfinity 510 UHF RFID reader ("IN510") and Reva's TAP 331 appliance as part of the recently announced expanded rollout at METRO Group's Real brand hypermarket stores. The 200 Real locations will be equipped with Checkpoint portals powered by Sirit readers at the loading doors to track incoming goods. Reva's RFID network infrastructure will be installed at each location to provide device management and data processing.

Sirit's IN510 readers will be used to track pallets and cases as they arrive at the stores to improve supply chain efficiency. Reva's TAP 331 appliances will be used to manage the distributed network of RFID installations, to produce accurate data from each site and to provide rapid operator feedback during logistics operations. This 200-location rollout builds on last October's successful implementation during which Sirit readers were deployed at 100 Real hypermarkets and Reva's TAP 331 appliances were installed at all RFID-enabled facilities.

"We believe in providing exceptional customer service, and that starts with having the right items in the right places at the right times," said Dr. Gerd Wolfram, managing director of MGI METRO Group Information Technology GmbH. "RFID is a powerful tool for improved inventory management which will have a positive impact on customer experiences at our Real stores. Reva and Sirit deliver the RFID infrastructure we can rely on today and in the future to build even more value for our customers and operations."

"METRO Group's decision to expand their RFID program to another 200 stores is a clear validation that today's technology meets enterprise requirements and that the operational benefits are real," commented Frank Mild, vice president of EMEA for Reva Systems. "Reva's RFID network infrastructure provides the manageability, data accuracy and ease of deployment that Metro needs to move forward with RFID at this number of sites. The combination of Sirit's high performance readers and Reva's scalable RFID platform creates value at these locations immediately which is extremely important to the Real management team."

METRO Group has been a pioneer in the use of RFID in the retail industry since 2004 when the company announced it would begin using RFID throughout its supply chain to improve inventory visibility and to enhance the customer's shopping experience. Both Sirit and Reva Systems have been involved in METRO Group's RFID activities from the outset having been involved in the Future Store Initiative, several pilots and now the Real expanded roll-out.

"METRO Group is certainly an influential factor in the overall adoption of RFID technology and we are pleased to be a part of their on-going expansion," stated Tony Sabetti, vice president, RF Solutions for Sirit. "The IN510 continues to exceed its 'best-in-class' reputation in terms of reliability and performance for all of our customers. We have shown that reader performance does impact the speed and accuracy of data acquisition and ultimately the overall success of any RFID implementation. Both Sirit and Reva are excited that our customers place great confidence in our products to deliver outstanding performance that leads to improvement in their business processes and a positive return on investment."

"The use of RFID in retail supply chains continues to expand globally," says Michael Liard, research director for RFID & Contactless at ABI Research. "METRO Group is leading European retail supply chain adoption efforts having demonstrated a strong commitment to RFID technology. In addition, METRO Group's Real hypermarket program extension highlights the need for reliable, scalable end-to-end partner-based solutions in complex supply chain environments."

New Oracle(R) Applications Help Manufacturers Build and Optimize Flexible Supply, Demand and Design ChainsManufacturing Companies Equipped to Create Information-Driven Value Chains to Drive Revenue and Maximize Profitability

COLLABORATE 2008, DENVER, April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

-- Extending its best-in-class offering for manufacturers, Oracle today announced the delivery of four new advanced supply chain planning products: Oracle(R) Manufacturing Operations Center, Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center, Oracle Demand Signal Repository and Oracle Service Parts Planning. -- These solutions are part of Oracle's overall "Information-Driven Value Chains" (http://tinyurl.com/6lgp5n) strategy for Supply Chain Management, which helps companies maximize value by connecting and optimizing their supply, demand and design chains. Organizations can leverage real-time information to predict market requirements such as demand as well as risks, adapt to dynamic business conditions, and align operations globally across the extended value chain. As a result, companies can effectively drive operational excellence, accelerate innovation, and manage risk and compliance. -- These releases deliver on Oracle's application strategy to provide complete ERP, CRM, SCM and industry solutions that help businesses be more competitive. To accelerate customers' time-to-value, Oracle is delivering multiple new offerings as readily consumable extension applications that may be implemented without requiring an upgrade of the core operational systems. As well as furthering Oracle's vision of the Information-Driven Value Chain, these products are also built on Oracle's open, standards-based architecture and work with existing systems including Oracle Applications, SAP or other ERP offerings. Predict, Adapt and Align with Advanced Value Chain Capabilities -- Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center increases the visibility and alignment between shop floor and ERP systems by managing the real-time data flows from shop floor systems and equipment, and transforming this into valuable business information. Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center connects these disparate systems by using a standards-based extensible data model to act as a common repository. Here, shop floor data can be captured, normalized and combined with the business context from the associated ERP system. Manufacturers can then monitor activity in near real-time, identify and predict the business implications of any exception conditions, adapt to those issues and report detailed status back to the ERP or external systems. -- Oracle Demand Signal Repository addresses a critical challenge of predicting global demand in a complex consumer value chain. Oracle Demand Signal Repository captures and manages downstream demand data from a wide variety of sources such as stores, retail distribution centers, and other data sources to build a picture of demand that is aligned across the value chain. Included is out-of-the-box integration with Oracle's best-in-class demand management solution, Oracle's Demantra for improved forecast accuracy as well as open connectivity capabilities to syndicated and downstream data, and to other demand management solutions. This enables customers to more rapidly integrate data sources and improve their ability to predict and shape demand, regardless of their back-end planning system. -- Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center is an innovative and powerful way for business executives and managers to analyze, manage, and leverage information and insights across their extended value chain. By combining in one integrated system role-based analytical dashboards, business planning scenario management, and automated process and task management, companies can better align decision-making and streamline the transformation of information into action. Built with components of Oracle Fusion Middleware such as Oracle BPEL Process Manager for enabled process and task management, Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Plus for analytics and drawing on the established strengths of Oracle's Advanced Planning suite, Oracle Advance Planning Command Center provides the robustness, security, flexibility and ease of use that companies need to leverage the full power of the Information-Driven Value Chain. -- Oracle Service Parts Planning helps companies decrease spare parts inventory while increasing first-time fill rates and service levels, thereby improving service related profits. This has never been more important given that many original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are looking to their after-market business as a key source of value creation. Oracle Service Parts Planning enables manufacturers to predict demand across the different types and criticality of service parts, align and monitor the most profitable service supply chain, and optimize the replenishment and redistribution of these parts across the extended service value chain. Supporting Customer Quotes -- "With many manufacturing companies embarking on integrating shop floor data acquisition devices to back-end ERP systems, we think that Oracle is on the right track in building the Manufacturing Operations Center product to address this void," said Nat Parameswaran, Director, Business Solutions (SCM), United States Gypsum Corporation (USG). "With Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center, Oracle will be able to streamline shop floor integration and provide real-time operational intelligence. As a Customer Advisory Board (CAB) member, we support Oracle's strategy in this space." -- "We have been looking for solutions that will help us streamline and refine our shop floor integrations while delivering real-time operational intelligence," said Chris Jackson, Senior Manager of Manufacturing Systems, Pella. "After working as a key design partner with Oracle on this project, we believe that the Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center can be that solution." Supporting Analyst Quotes -- "Manufacturers need flexible, highly nimble value chains that not only integrate with third party networks, but enable them to quickly respond to a crisis as well as effectively adapt to new market opportunities. This fuels not only their competitive edge -- but drives stability and bottom line growth," said Bruce Richardson, AMR Research Chief Research Officer. "With today's product announcements on the Information-Driven Value Chain, Oracle is moving in the right direction -- delivering open, standards-based offerings that provide the flexibility manufacturers need to compete in today's global market." -- "The manufacturing performance and visibility market has emerged over the last several years from a few startup software suppliers focusing on OEE to a critical function that has attracting most enterprise and operations software suppliers," explained Bob Mick, VP Emerging Technology, ARC Advisory Group. "Based on what we have seen so far, Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center has all the basics that a solution in this space would need -- an extensible manufacturing data model, real-time access to plant floor data and pre-built dashboards and KPIs. But perhaps the most interesting aspect is the way Oracle is leveraging operations-appropriate Fusion Technology to raise the bar, while at the same time paying close attention to deep manufacturing requirements." Supporting Executive Quotes -- "Over the last few years Oracle has developed a portfolio of leading supply chain solutions," said Jon Chorley, Oracle Vice President, Product Strategy. "These new products further demonstrate our commitment to enable the transformation of the extended supply chain into flexible, Information-Driven Value Chains for our customers." -- "We are very excited to launch Oracle Demand Signal Repository," said Jeff Wexler, Oracle Vice President, Retail and Consumer Goods Product Strategy. "Six leading manufacturers participated in our pilot for more than a year. The results were amazing: sales for the pilot suppliers across the 16 categories grew an aggregate of 23.5% year-over-year, vs. 12.2% growth for the categories as a whole and total margin dollars rose 19.3% for all items included in the pilot versus a year ago." General Availability -- Oracle Manufacturing Operations Center, Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center, Oracle Demand Signal Repository and Oracle Service Parts Planning are scheduled to be generally available in May 2008 as a part of the Oracle Advanced Planning and Scheduling Feature Pack Release 12.1. These products can also be purchased individually for use in heterogeneous environments. Supporting Resources Analyst Reports
