LogicVision Reports First Quarter Financial ResultsOne Year Backlog Increases to $10.1M; Q1 Bookings Second Highest in Company History

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LogicVision, Inc. , a leading provider of test and yield learning solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2008, ended March 31, 2008.

First Quarter 2008 Results

Revenues in the first quarter of 2008 were $3.0 million, compared with $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Net loss in the first quarter of 2008 was $1.3 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with a net loss of $700,000, or $0.07 per share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2007. The per share data has been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split that became effective March 12, 2008.

Gross margins in the first quarter were 72 percent, compared with 71 percent in fourth quarter of 2007.

Operating expenses were $3.4 million in the first quarter, including $177,000 of stock-based employee compensation charges in accordance with SFAS 123( R ). This compares with $2.8 million of operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2007, including $143,000 of stock-based employee compensation charges in accordance with SFAS 123( R ). First quarter 2008 operating expenses included higher selling expenses associated with new orders received in the first quarter in advance of revenue recognition.

At March 31, 2008 LogicVision had $7.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, compared with $8.3 million at December 31, 2007. The company has no outstanding bank debt.

New orders received during the first quarter totaled $10.5 million, the second highest bookings in the company's history. The company exited the first quarter with a 12-month backlog of $10.1 million, compared with a 12-month backlog of $8.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter.

"In the first quarter, revenues were within our guidance range, bookings were the second highest in the Company's history and our 12-month backlog increased to more than $10 million," said James T. Healy, president and CEO of LogicVision. "New orders received during the quarter were very good; however, our first quarter cash balance was below our guidance and our net operating loss was more than our guidance primarily due to higher expenses associated with first quarter new orders, which were not factored into our previous guidance.

"We recently signed a contract extension with a major customer and added new customers that could potentially grow into bigger accounts, all of which contributed to our solid first quarter bookings. There are a variety of market trends that are increasing the need for our Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) solutions. For example, integrated circuit (IC) designers are under intense pressure to decrease the cost of their components in order to increase profits. This reduction in cost-per-function is driving companies to use higher gate densities, resulting in the fast growth of submicron design starts. At the same time, companies are demanding higher quality ICs in order to avoid the impact of warranty costs and help ensure market success. As a result, we are seeing companies that historically have had internal BIST technologies begin to transition from a 'make' to a 'buy' decision. As the only viable commercial BIST supplier for logic in the market today, LogicVision is well positioned to capitalize on these trends. We believe we are on track to record solid year-over-year revenue growth," said Mr. Healy.

Guidance for the Second Quarter of 2008 -- Revenues are expected to be in the range of $3.0 million to $3.2 million. -- Net loss is expected to be in the range of $800,000 to $1.0 million, or a net loss in the range of $0.08 to $0.10 per share. -- Cash, cash equivalents and investments are expected to be between approximately $6.0 million and $7.0 million at the end of the second quarter.

Broadcom Reports First Quarter 2008 ResultsConference Call to be Webcast Today at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time

IRVINE, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadcom Corporation today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2008 was $1.032 billion, an increase of 0.5% compared with the $1.027 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2007 and an increase of 14.5% compared with the $901.5 million reported for the first quarter of 2007. Net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the first quarter of 2008 was $74.3 million, or $.14 per share (diluted), compared with GAAP net income of $90.3 million, or $.16 per share (diluted), for the fourth quarter of 2007, and GAAP net income of $61.0 million, or $.10 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of 2007.

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2008 and fourth quarter of 2007 included royalties of $35.6 million and $31.8 million, respectively, received pursuant to a patent license agreement entered into in July 2007.

"Broadcom's first quarter results came in much stronger than we expected, driven primarily by greater demand within our traditional wireline businesses -- Enterprise Networking and Broadband Communications. This increased demand enabled Broadcom to achieve a record revenue level and strong cash flow from operations and to fund an aggressive share repurchase program," said Scott A. McGregor, Broadcom's President and Chief Executive Officer. "While we remain cautious on the macroeconomic front, based on strong ordering trends from our customers throughout the first quarter, we expect solid revenue growth for the second quarter within each of our three major target markets."

Entrust Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2008 Financial Results- Total Revenues of $25.8 million - an increase of 5% year-over-year- Emerging Growth Products revenues of $2.6 million - an increase of 13% year-over-year- Total Transactions grew to 136 - an increase of 20% year-over-year- Deferred Revenue of $28.9 million - an increase of $1.0 million from year-end 2007- Cash and Cash Equivalents increased $2.3 million in the quarter to $22.8 million

DALLAS, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Entrust, Inc. , a world leader in securing digital identities and information, today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008.

"I am pleased with our Q1 performance toward meeting our first half financial and operating commitments," said Bill Conner, Entrust chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Specifically, we grew product revenue five percent year-over-year, increased product transactions by 20 percent over last year, increased revenue from transactions under $500 thousand by 13 percent and increased deferred revenue by $1.0 million from the fourth quarter. Equally important was a $.02/share increase in profitability from a year ago and a positive cash flow from operations of $3.9 million in the quarter before the net change in restructuring accruals."

Revenue for the first quarter was $25.8 million, an increase of 5% from $24.6 million in Q1, 2007. Revenue in the first quarter was driven by product revenue transactions under $500 thousand, which accounted for 90% of product revenue. We also had one deal value of approximately $1.5 million, including software, service and 3rd party hardware for a global government. Deferred revenue increased in the quarter to approximately $28.9 million, an increase of approximately $1.0 million, from $27.9 million at year-end 2007.

Conner added, "In the quarter we continued to make solid progress in many key areas including lowering our reliance on large deals and increasing our revenue from subscription based offerings. We also made significant progress with customers, specifically in Risk Based Authentication and Global Governments, where in the quarter we delivered for two top global financial institutions and a large government e-borders project in Europe. We also achieved record bookings in our SSL certificate business and Entrust Managed Services business added two Fortune 200 U.S. companies to the Entrust Managed Service and as a result achieved over $1.0 million in bookings. These achievements coupled with our overall sales funnel and financial management position us well to achieve our first half and full year 2008 operating and financial goals."

Entrust recorded a Q1, 2008 net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to Q1, 2007 net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share. On a non-GAAP basis the company recorded a profit of $344 thousand, or $0.01 per share, compared to Q1, 2007 loss of $837 thousand, or $0.01 per share. The non-GAAP figures exclude amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-option based compensation expense. See the financial table below reconciling these non-GAAP figures to GAAP.

The company ended Q1, 2008 with approximately $22.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt.

Financial Outlook:

Entrust reiterated its previous guidance provided on the first half and full year 2008. Entrust is targeting first half 2008 revenue of between $50.0 million and $53.0 million. For the full year 2008, Entrust is targeting total revenue of between $106.0 million to $110.0 million. Entrust is targeting a net loss in accordance with GAAP of $0.01 per share for the first half of 2008. On a non-GAAP basis the company is targeting a profit of $0.03 per share for the first half of 2008.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial results that are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, Entrust's management prepares and uses non-GAAP financial measures for many of its internal financial, operating and planning reports. The company's management believes that by excluding charges such as the purchased intangibles amortization in cost of goods sold, the amortization of purchased intangible assets in operating expenses, stock compensation expense, restructuring charges and write down of strategic investments from its GAAP-based results, these non-GAAP financial measures are more likely to facilitate investors' understanding of the company's ongoing business operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons to the operating results of the company's competitors and provide investors with greater transparency with respect to the supplemental information used by management in its operational and financial decision making.

The non-GAAP measures are included to provide investors with supplemental information to facilitate their understanding of Entrust's operating results and future prospects. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to assess its success in reducing the company's cost structure, to measure its ongoing cash operating costs, and to establish budgets and operational goals. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial and operating results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as non-GAAP measures are susceptible to varying calculations and they may not be comparable, as presented, to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to Entrust's projected revenue, net income and net loss per share, non-GAAP income per share and cash flow from operations for the first half and full year 2008 and the company's planned second quarter non-GAAP total expenses. Such statements are based upon preliminary estimates which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are unforeseen operating expenses ,inaccuracy in preliminary estimates issues associated with revenue recognition, issues raised in connection with the internal review of quarterly financial results, and the risk factors detailed from time to time in Entrust's periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation Entrust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. While Entrust may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future, Entrust specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its estimates change.

Aaron Rents, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results; Revenues Up 13%; Earnings Exceed Estimates

ATLANTA, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aaron Rents, Inc. , the nation's leader in the sales and lease ownership, specialty retailing and rental of residential and office furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances and accessories, today announced revenues and earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

For the first quarter of 2008, revenues increased 13% to $437.3 million compared to $387.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. Net earnings were $24.8 million versus $29.2 million last year. Diluted earnings per share were $.46 compared to $.53 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2007.

Included in the Company's other revenues in the first quarter of 2007 was a $4.9 million gain from the sale of a parking deck at the Company's corporate headquarters. Excluding this gain, net earnings on a non-GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2007 would have been $26.2 million or $.48 per diluted share.

"We are pleased that the first quarter exceeded our earnings expectations," said R. Charles Loudermilk, Sr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aaron Rents. "As previously announced we have slowed down our new store expansion plan in 2008 to concentrate on achieving better execution and improving overall profitability, and we believe the earnings results are evidence that we have started to see some positive results from this plan. Earnings in the quarter were negatively affected by start-up costs of approximately $.09 per diluted share associated with the rapid expansion of our store base throughout 2007."

"Our franchised stores once again outperformed Company-operated stores in same store revenue growth and collection efforts, however, we are pleased that we are making progress with our Company store level execution," Mr. Loudermilk added. "Net write-offs in the quarter at the Company-operated stores were lower as a percentage of revenue compared to the several previous quarters."

For the first quarter, the Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership division increased its revenues 16% to $406.3 million compared to $351.2 million for the first quarter last year. Same store rental revenues (rental revenues earned in Company-operated stores open for the entirety of both periods) in the Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership division increased 2.6% during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007.

Consolidated rentals and fees increased 12% and franchise royalties and fees increased 11% during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Non-retail sales, which are primarily sales of merchandise to Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership franchisees, increased 22% for the quarter compared to the first quarter of last year. The increases in the Company's franchise revenues and non-retail sales are the result of an increase in revenues of the Company's franchisees, who collectively had revenues of $167.4 million during the first quarter of 2008, a 13% increase over the 2007 quarter. Same store revenues for franchised stores were up 13% for the first quarter compared to the same quarter last year. Revenues of franchisees, however, are not revenues of Aaron Rents, Inc.

During the first quarter the Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership division opened 14 new Company-operated stores, eight new franchised stores, two Company-operated RIMCO stores and two franchised RIMCO stores. The division also closed 20 Company-operated and three franchised stores during the quarter, merging their operations with other stores. In addition, the Company acquired 13 franchised stores and sold 11 Company-operated stores to franchisees. Also, during the quarter two new corporate furnishings stores were opened and two stores were closed.

The Company recorded a $2.3 million gain in the first quarter of 2008 relating to the sales of the Company-operated stores to franchisees. Included in operating expenses was $1.6 million for future lease obligations and other expenses related to the store closings.

Area development agreements were awarded during the quarter to open 50 additional franchised stores. At the end of March there were 300 franchised stores awarded that are expected to open over the next several years.

At March 31, 2008 the Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership division had 983 Company-operated stores, 483 franchised stores, 29 Company-operated RIMCO stores and six franchised RIMCO stores. The Company also had 62 corporate furnishings stores.

The Company generated over $30 million of cash flow from operations during the first quarter and bought 387,545 shares of its Common Stock. There are currently 3,920,413 shares remaining under the Company's Board repurchase authorization.

"Our plans to open less than 75 new Company-operated and between 70 and 90 new franchised stores during 2008 are unchanged. Overall store count increased only slightly during the first quarter primarily due to closing and merging some stores not meeting our profit goals, and we will continue to do additional mergers and realignments throughout the year as deemed appropriate to improve profitability," Mr. Loudermilk continued. "Our guidance for the second quarter of 2008 is to expect revenues in excess of $405 million and diluted earnings per share in the range of $.34 to $.39. For the entire 2008 year expectations remain to achieve Company revenues of approximately $1.7 billion (excluding revenues of franchisees) and diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.40 to $1.55."

Aaron Rents will hold a conference call to discuss its quarterly financial results on Wednesday, April 23, 2008, at 10:30 am Eastern Time. The public is invited to listen in to the conference call by webcast accessible through the Company's website, http://www.aaronrents.com/ , in the "Investor Relations" section. The webcast will be archived for playback at that same site.

SST All-in-OneMemory Wins Innovation Award From EDN MagazineAll-in-OneMemory Takes Home Coveted Industry Award in Digital ICs, Memory and Programmable Logic Category

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SST (Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.) , a leader in flash memory technology, today announced that its innovative managed memory subsystem solution, All-in-OneMemory, has won EDN Magazine's 18th annual Innovation Award in the Digital ICs, Memory and Programmable Logic category. For eighteen years, the Innovation Awards have honored the people, products and technologies that have shaped the semiconductor industry.

"Every year the difficulty of technical challenges increases, the pressures of schedule, cost, and energy efficiency grow, and the resources available to design teams dwindle. That makes the achievements of this year's EDN Innovation Award winners all the more impressive," stated Ron Wilson, executive director of EDN Worldwide. "Selected by their peers in the design community for their outstanding results, these innovators stand in the front rank of the best and brightest electronics engineering has to offer."

"We are very pleased and honored to have won this prestigious award from EDN Magazine," said Bing Yeh, president and CEO, SST. "To have All-in-OneMemory recognized by the staff and readers of EDN is a strong testament to the creativity and design and technology expertise that made this product possible. With the innovative All-in-OneMemory architecture, we are now well equipped to participate in the high-density NOR market with a much less expensive and more flexible memory subsystem solution for code and data."

About All-in-OneMemory

SST All-in-OneMemory offers designers an easy-to-use, single-package memory subsystem with the full benefits of NOR, NAND and RAM for code and data storage. Functionally, All-in-OneMemory is the combination of a high-density NOR, a system RAM and a solid-state drive. The high-density NOR consists of two partitions, a typical size of NOR for boot-up code and a large Pseudo-NOR (PNOR) memory for storing and executing operating system and application code. PNOR is an emulated NOR consisting of a multi-gigabit NAND for nonvolatile storage and a RAM cache for high-speed random access.

All-in-OneMemory products offer several key benefits not found in alternative memory solutions. All-in-OneMemory uses a simple PSRAM bus to interface to the host even though internally All-in-OneMemory has three different types of memory: NOR, NAND and RAM. The simple PSRAM interface makes the system design much easier and helps speed time-to-market. By intelligently managing all memory components with a resident 32-bit microcontroller, All-in-OneMemory offers a large and expandable XIP code area, instant secure boot, memory demand-paging, NAND flash management, and an industry standard ATA data storage protocol in a small footprint BGA package; thereby reducing system complexity and lowering overall system cost. SST All-in-OneMemory is designed for a wide range of embedded system applications, including multimedia-enabled cell phones, portable media players, digital still/video cameras, personal navigation devices, set-top boxes, IPTVs, gaming devices, medical equipment and industrial systems.

Guidance

Vocus is providing, for the first time, guidance for the second quarter and revising guidance for the full year 2008 based on information as of April 22, 2008:

-- For the second quarter of 2008, revenue is expected to be in the range of approximately $18.6 million to $18.8 million. Non-GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.13 assuming an estimated non-GAAP weighted average 20.0 million diluted shares outstanding and an estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate of 27%. Amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, reflecting SFAS No. 123R, is expected to be $0.17 per share. GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $(0.05) to $(0.04) assuming an estimated weighted average 17.8 million basic and diluted shares outstanding; -- For the full year of 2008, revenue is expected to be in the range of $75.9 million to $76.7 million. Non-GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.52 assuming an estimated non-GAAP weighted average 20.0 million diluted shares outstanding and an estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate of 30%. Amortization of intangible assets and stock- based compensation, reflecting SFAS No. 123R, is expected to be $0.67 per share. GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $(0.17) to $(0.15) assuming an estimated weighted average 17.8 million basic and diluted shares outstanding. Free cash flow is expected to range from $19.5 million to $20.5 million; -- The revised EPS guidance reflects a revision to the Company's estimated income tax expense for the year due to limitations on certain U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and higher projected U.S. taxable income. The incremental impact of the revised estimated income tax expense on our previous guidance is $0.03 per share for the second quarter and $0.15 per share for the full year. On a cash basis, our non-GAAP tax rate for 2008 is expected to remain unchanged at 5%. Conference Call Information

We define non-GAAP income from operations as income from operations excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net income as net income excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation. Amortization of intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisitions consist of non-compete agreements, trade names, purchased technology and customer relationships that are not expected to be replaced when fully amortized, as might a depreciable tangible asset. Companies record stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123R by applying varying valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions to different types of equity awards. Management uses non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income to evaluate operating performance and determine incentive compensation and to prepare operating budgets and determine the appropriate levels of capital investments. Management believes the exclusion of amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123R allows management and investors to make meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing a consistent comparison of our relative historical financial performance. However, management believes that non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income are subject to material limitations since they may not be indicative of ongoing operating results.

We define free cash flow as cash flow from operations less net capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs plus excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. Management considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure which provides useful information to management and investors regarding our ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments. Management also uses free cash flow as a measure to evaluate performance and determine incentive compensation. Our definition of free cash flow may be different from definitions used by other companies.

Management compensates for the limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by also utilizing GAAP financial measures and by providing investors with a detailed reconciliation between the Company's GAAP and non- GAAP financial results. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the Company's SEC filings.

ANADIGICS Announces First Quarter 2008 ResultsAchieves Record Quarterly Net Sales of $74.4 million; up 10% sequentially and 50% From Year Ago QuarterDelivers Quarterly GAAP EPS of $0.07; Pro Forma Diluted EPS of $0.15

WARREN, N.J., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANADIGICS, Inc. , a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the rapidly growing broadband wireless and wireline communications markets, reported record first quarter 2008 net sales of $74.4 million, an increase of 10% compared with net sales of $67.6 million in the prior quarter, and an increase of 50% compared to net sales of $49.6 million in the year ago quarter.

Net income was $3.9 million, or $0.07 per share, compared with $2.9 million, or $0.05 per share, in the prior quarter and net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share, in the year ago quarter. Pro forma income for the first quarter 2008, which excludes non-cash stock compensation expense, discontinued operations and an impairment charge of $0.8 million on the company's investment in auction rate securities, was $9.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with $7.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the prior quarter and $3.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the year ago quarter.

"ANADIGICS performance in the first quarter exemplifies our commitment to our business execution strategies," said Dr. Bami Bastani, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to implement our market share expansion plans and have created deeper relationships with our customers and suppliers while providing the best of breed RF products on the market today."

As of March 29, 2008 cash and short and long-term marketable securities totaled $166.5 million compared with $176.8 million at December 31, 2007.

"We continue to focus on delivering improving financial performance as evidenced by our reported first quarter 2008 financial results," said Tom Shields, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our business outlook remains positive as characterized by our financial guidance for the second quarter of 2008."

Outlook for the Second Quarter 2008

Net sales for the second quarter 2008 are estimated to be in the range of $77.0 million to $79.0 million. Net sales at this level would represent an approximate 43% to 47% increase on a comparable basis with second quarter 2007. Net income per share on a GAAP basis for the second quarter 2008 is expected to approximate $0.09 to $0.11. Pro forma diluted earnings per share, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, are expected to be in the range of approximately $0.16 - $0.17. The net income and pro forma diluted earnings per share are based on an estimated diluted weighted average outstanding common share count of 69.0 million, which includes 7.6 million dilutive shares from the Convertible Notes due 2009.

The statements regarding outlook are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. Please see safe harbor statement at the end of the press release.

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP, or pro forma, net income or loss and non- GAAP, or pro forma, income or loss per share. Management uses non-GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share to evaluate the company's operating and financial performance in light of business objectives, for planning purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. ANADIGICS believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance investors' ability to review the company's business from the same perspective as the company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods. These non-GAAP measures exclude charges related to stock-based compensation, an impairment of auction rate securities and discontinued operations. Non-GAAP measures are used by some investors when assessing the performance of our Company. These financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Management acknowledges that stock-based compensation is a recurring cost and is an important part of our employee's compensation and impacts their performance. However the expense is non-cash in nature and there are various valuation methodologies and assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation that may be unrelated to operations, such as volatility and current interest rates. The presentation of the additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or loss or income or loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of reported net income or loss and income or loss per share to non-GAAP net income or net loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share, respectively, within this press release.

Conference Call

ANADIGICS' senior management will conduct a conference call today at 5:00 PM Eastern time. A live audio Webcast will be available at http://www.anadigics.com/investors.

The new ZixDirect 3.0 release allows ZixCorp customers to run push technology through a web interface, allowing the user to access secure messages with nothing more than an internet browser," said Nigel Johnson vice president of product management and business development for ZixCorp. "ZixCorp's Email Encryption Service has always been easy to use, which is ideal for a health, financial or government system of any size. Our clients benefit from the elimination of the intense time and resources spent managing in-house email encryption. Our clients are able to upgrade to the new ZixDirect 3.0 transparently since both the java-based mode and web-based mode have the same look, feel and functionality."

ZixDirect 3.0 successfully maintains the quality that customers have come to expect from ZixCorp while ensuring seamless, convenient delivery of encrypted messages. With ZixDirect 3.0, there is no client software to install and encryption capabilities are not required for the recipient to read the message. ZixDirect 3.0 enables encrypted email to be "pushed" directly to the recipient's inbox without requiring Java support in their internet browser.

Email audits conducted by ZixCorp find that up to 5 percent of all outbound emails contain personal non-public information. With heightened government regulations such as HIPAA, GLBA and California SB 1386 and pending legislation to prevent identity theft, the need to secure sensitive email communication has never been higher. With ZixDirect 3.0, the email and any attachments are encrypted and sent. When the recipient clicks on the attachment, the secure message is displayed. ZixDirect 3.0 works with virtually every email system and people can read the secure email even while working offline.

In addition, the company also announced the availability of ZixVPM 3.3, which includes an encryption capability that supports FIPS 140-2 encryption between ZixVPM gateways. This encryption capability uses S/MIME with a FIPS validated cryptographic module implemented as part of ZixCorp's Best Method of Delivery, which supports five encrypted email delivery mechanisms, including S/MIME, TLS, OpenPGP, secure portal and "push" delivery.

ZixCorp is the leading hosted email encryption service provider with more than 10 million protected email addresses in the ZixDirectory, the foundation of ZixCorp's hosted email encryption service. The ZixDirectory adds substantial value to ZixCorp users through the sharing of identities in a central directory or "white pages." There are more than 1,000 hospitals in the directory, more than 30 Blues organizations, 500 financial institutions, the federal banking regulators, 19 state banking regulatory agencies and a growing number of federal, state and county governments. These customers, plus many more are enabled to send secure messages among themselves with no need for complex user intervention.

AT&T Announces $400 Million Planned Investment to Bring New Technology to Consumers in Louisiana

BATON ROUGE, La., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. announced plans to invest approximately $400 million over the next several years in fiber network upgrades, further broadband deployment and Internet-based technologies to bring new services to Louisiana consumers, including cutting-edge television, upon passage of statewide video franchise legislation.

This announcement is a direct result of the Louisiana Legislature's consideration of the Consumer Choice for Television Act, Senate Bill 422 and House Bill 1009.

As introduced, the Consumer Choice for Television Act will enable companies that want to provide competitive video services to obtain a state-issued franchise rather than negotiate with individual municipalities, a process that often takes years to complete.

"We commend the authors of the bill, Sen. Ann Duplessis and Rep. Noble Ellington, for their vision to ensure that Louisiana is not left behind in efforts to give consumers more choices in the video services market," said William A. Oliver, president of AT&T Louisiana. "Passage of the bill will give consumers a new world of communications and entertainment. We look forward to delivering advanced television, voice and Internet services to Louisiana."

"This legislation will give Louisiana consumers more choices and deliver the benefits of competition, including the opportunity for lower prices, better customer service and new products," said Duplessis. "I want my constituents and other Louisiana consumers to reap the benefits of competition as quickly as possible."

"Today's announcement by AT&T has the potential to be a real economic boost for our state," said Ellington. "This is proof that eliminating the barriers to competition not only brings choice to consumers but that it also encourages investment in our state. In turn, investment in next-generation broadband network infrastructure will help bring new technology and jobs to Louisiana."

In part, the new technology upgrades being considered by AT&T will support Internet Protocol (IP)-based television, high speed Internet and Voice over IP (VoIP) services.

AT&T is the only national provider to offer a 100 percent IP-based television service, making U-verse(SM) TV one of the most robust and feature-rich services available today.

Synaptics ClearTouch(TM) Technology Takes Touch Interfaces to the Next LevelDesigners Can Move Beyond Buttons by Integrating Transparent Sensor Controls

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synaptics Inc. , a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, announced its ClearTouch(TM) product portfolio ClearPad(TM) and ClearArray(TM) sensors are available for a wide range of consumer electronics that require transparent touch-sensitive user interfaces.

Synaptics' ClearTouch(TM) products are designed for durability, low power consumption, and easy integration. They enable attractive and intuitive user interfaces to meet the rigorous needs of consumer electronics. Patented ClearPad technology builds on the capacitive touch sensing technology used in over 400 million TouchPad devices. Synaptics has over a decade of experience in clear, two-dimensional, capacitive touch sensing. All ClearTouch solutions can operate under glass or plastic, resulting in robust devices with slim form factors and sleek industrial designs.

"Next-generation handsets will greatly benefit from touchscreen technology," said Bill Morelli, research analyst at IMS. "Synaptics ClearTouch sensors provide an ideal solution and are well suited to a wide range of handset styles."

ClearPad

A ClearPad sensor was the key feature in Synaptics' pioneering Onyx concept touchscreen phone demonstrated in August 2006. ClearPad provides a robust, intuitive, and high-resolution touchscreen interface solution for today's mobile devices -- including mobile phones, portable music players, and handheld GPS devices.

ClearArray

Synaptics' ClearArray interface solutions support buttons and scrolling in fixed locations over a display, a cost-optimized touchscreen solution. ClearArray sensors can even be used in monitors and kiosk-style devices as an alternative to mechanical buttons. These transparent sensors enable manufacturers to differentiate their products according to their target price point, industrial design requirements, and the desired end-user experience.

Capacitive vs. Resistive - How to Tell the Difference

Resistive touchscreens respond to pressure. When a user presses the screen, a top layer of flexible material makes contact with the lower layer to indicate the location of the user's finger or stylus. The mechanical flexing of a resistive sensor reduces its durability and the air gap affects optical quality. Resistive interfaces also require frequent end-user calibration. Capacitive solutions such as Synaptics ClearTouch use a grid of conductive traces implemented on a clear substrate such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film or glass to accurately report one or more finger positions and relative pressure on a sensor. Synaptics ClearTouch solutions offer superior optics, are solid state, and require no end-user calibration.

As the number and sophistication of handheld applications proliferate, touchscreen technology is a must have for future devices. With multimedia- and communication-rich functionality, handheld devices require innovative interface technology to make accessing and managing applications and content easy for the end user. ClearTouch solutions unlock the potential of advanced devices with a lot of functionality through an intuitive interface that the average user can use without reading a manual.

"Synaptics' proven capacitive sensing technology has been used in more than 400 million devices," said Andrew Hsu, strategic and technical marketing manager at Synaptics. "The ClearTouch product family enables users of next-generation data and media-centric handheld devices to enjoy an intuitive, accurate, responsive, and durable touchscreen interface."

Gesture Technology

Synaptics ClearPad solution includes integral detection of gestures such as single-finger Tap, Double Tap, Tap & Hold/Tap & Slide, Press, and Flick, as well as two-finger Pinch.

Availability: Synaptics ClearTouch solutions are available now to device manufacturers. More information on Synaptics' transparent capacitive touch sensors can be found at http://www.synaptics.com/products/cleartouch.cfm

About Synaptics

Synaptics is a leading developer of human interface solutions for the mobile computing, communications, and entertainment industries. The company creates interface solutions for a variety of devices including notebook PCs, PC peripherals, digital music players, and mobile phones. The TouchPad(TM), Synaptics' flagship product, is integrated into a majority of today's notebook computers. Consumer electronics and computing manufacturers use Synaptics' solutions to enrich the interaction between humans and intelligent devices through improved usability, functionality, and industrial design. The company is headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif. http://www.synaptics.com/

Arbinet-thexchange Increases Presence in the Growing Middle East MarketCompany Delivers Telecom Trading, Routing and Settlement Services to Members Worldwide

BEIRUT, Lebanon, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Arbinet-thexchange, Inc. , the robust transaction platform for buying and selling voice and data capacity, announced today that the company has opened an office in Beirut to support its increased membership in the growing Middle East region.

Arbinet, which increased its worldwide membership last year, experienced Member growth in the Middle East with a number of regional service providers joining thexchange including Umniah Mobile Company, a licensed mobile operator in Jordan; Kulacom Jordan, a WiMAX operator in Jordan and Mobitel, a mobile operator located in Northern Iraq. Arbinet's 990 Members, as of year-end 2007, including the world's 10 largest international carriers, now reach more than 1,300 destinations around the world.

To thrive in the highly competitive global communications market, Middle Eastern service providers such as Umniah and Kulacom Jordan must offer their customers reliable global termination to support quality voice traffic. Arbinet's suite of services, including AssuredAxcess(sm) (AAX), PrivateExchange(sm) (PEX) and DirectAxcess(sm) (DAX), offer carriers high voice quality, superior answer seizure ratio (ASR), and the ability to execute trades with any buyer or seller around the world through a single interconnection to thexchange platform. Additionally, many of these companies join thexchange because they benefit from an efficient, outsourced settlement solution.

"Arbinet's portfolio of services offers us a quality connection to multiple operators through an efficient, cost-effective platform with faster terms and guaranteed payment," said Talal Ghaith, IP Service Manager, Umniah Mobile Company.

"We chose Arbinet to announce our Jordan DID offering to the global market, and rely on AssuredAxcess to deliver optimal outbound VoIP calls," commented Ali Awad, Chief International Business Development Officer, Kulacom Jordan.

Arbinet's offerings provide for a range of customer needs. With Voice on thexchange(sm), Members can purchase or sell capacity for specific routes while outsourcing billing and credit management to Arbinet and consolidating all buy and sell transactions into one net payment. AssuredAxcess gives carriers an efficient way to buy from an A-Z rate sheet at a fixed rate and term. DirectAxcess uses Arbinet's robust marketplace and expertise to manage retail termination on the network through the open market, which in turn gives members more choice, predictability and higher quality. Alternatively, PrivateExchange offers a private marketplace where carriers can focus on building key partnerships that might otherwise be difficult due to TDM to VoIP incompatibility, geographic limitations, credit or other issues.

"Arbinet plans to continue to focus on delivering solutions with exceptional customer service in the Middle East as this is an increasingly developing region," commented Ken Robinson, Arbinet's VP Strategic Development, Europe, Middle East and Africa. "Members are using Arbinet's portfolio of services to support both wholesale and retail voice traffic, reaching hundreds of buyers and sellers with one interconnect. Arbinet enhances Members efficiency and quality while allowing them to create new business opportunities in the market."

For the new Beirut office, Arbinet has added staff to support Arbinet's clients in the region.

/C O R R E C T I O N -- Siemens Communications, Inc./In the news release, Siemens Announces New OpenScape(R) Contact Center Solution for the OpenScape Unified Communications Server, issued yesterday, April 21, by Siemens Communications, Inc. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that in the Pricing and Availability section, the second sentence should read "The package starts at $42,500 for 100 voice users..." rather than "$33,750" as originally issued inadvertently. Complete, corrected release follows:Siemens Announces New OpenScape(R) Contact Center Solution for the OpenScape Unified Communications ServerSoftware-based offering provides Voice, UC and Contact Center capabilities in one integrated package

BOCA RATON, Fla., April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Siemens Communications, Inc. today introduced the OpenScape(R) Contact Center, a comprehensive voice, unified communications and customer interaction software solution designed to work with virtually any existing telephony environment. It is based on Siemens' innovative new unified communications software foundation, OpenScape Unified Communications (UC) Server, which removes the artificial legacy barriers between today's traditionally separate voice, video and unified communications systems to enable a comprehensive suite of UC applications.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070904/SIEMENSLOGO )

The OpenScape Contact Center offering builds on the presence-enabled HiPath(R) ProCenter Enterprise contact center application to provide a platform to enhance customer interactions across multiple segments of an enterprise, on virtually any existing communication or network infrastructure. Coupled with the OpenScape Voice Application, this robust solution supports environments of up to 7,500 active agents and includes optional voice and contact center server redundancy with automated fail-over to help ensure availability of mission critical customer interaction systems.

Leveraging the OpenScape UC Server foundation, it can provide agents with an aggregated, unified desktop client view of all contact center personnel and enterprise users' presence and availability. This enables agents to specifically address urgent, complex, or sensitive customer interactions requiring escalation beyond the contact center and drives up first contact resolution by tapping the knowledge and expertise across the enterprise in real-time.

The OpenScape Contact Center also addresses the traditional limitations of the hardware intensive site-based contact center by migrating to SIP and providing the new OpenScape UC Application, Personal Edition, soft phone and productivity desktop for each agent. This SIP-based contact center virtualization capability makes every agent a UC user, while enabling agents to work in any location equipped with just headsets and minimally configured desktops. This easy, software-based expansion of 'on-demand' agents offers enterprises dramatic opportunities to leverage their distributed resources across multiple sites, branch offices, remote or home-based locations with secure IP network access.

Also announced today, the new IP-based Voice Portal application complements the OpenScape UC Server and adds to Siemens' already robust offering by delivering a comprehensive, natural speech enabled self-service solution. The open standards-based Voice Portal solution can help enhance the experience of customers calling in to a contact center by providing enhanced self-service options as well as more seamless integration with the contact center routing engine and virtual agents. It can help improve the opportunity to resolve issues on the first call while optimizing the use of agents and technology.

"The OpenScape Contact Center solution is further evidence of Siemens' ongoing transformation into a software-oriented company and is an important piece of the OpenScape UC Server platform," said Dana Rasmussen, President of Siemens Communications, Inc. "This solution rounds out Siemens' suite of UC applications by delivering a comprehensive, robust offering that demonstrates the value of Open Communications in customer interactions."

Computacenter, an IT service and solution provider that recently migrated its contact center service to the OpenScape Contact Center, saw the new solution as a means to help achieve their stated goals as a multi-national service provider. "We saw this as a way to increase our scalability, flexibility and resiliency. We are invigorating operations across multiple European and offshore locations using a highly scalable and more cost effective software deployment model. We are looking to expand our presence and collaboration capabilities into the virtualized enterprise," said Gavin McLachlan, UK IS director at Computacenter.

Pricing and Availability

The OpenScape Contact Center packaged offering, which includes the OpenScape UC Server, OpenScape Voice, HiPath ProCenter Enterprise, and OpenScape UC Application, Personal Editions, will be generally available June 30, 2008. The package starts at $42,500 for 100 voice users, 10 agents and 1 manager. The new Voice Portal solution is currently available, with pricing based on customer configuration starting at $31,150 based a 48-port configuration.

Verizon Wireless Expands Wireless Broadband Network to Harrisonburg, Virginia and Surrounding AreasHigh-Speed Network Gives Customers Fast Wireless Access To Internet, E-mail, Mobile Music, Video, and More

LAUREL, Md., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless customers in Harrisonburg and most of Rockingham and Augusta Counties can now access e-mail, everyday corporate data, the Internet, and more at faster speeds, check out video on their phones, download music over-the-air and play 3D games as Verizon Wireless rolls out its wireless high-speed broadband network. The rollout, which also includes portions of Waynesboro, Staunton and surrounding communities in the I-81 and I-64 corridors, allows customers to access BroadbandAccess on their laptops, e-mail on their PDAs, and V CAST Video and Music on their wireless phones.

"This is a vital area with dynamic, tech-savvy business people, students, visitors, and residents who want to stay connected," said Tami Erwin, Verizon Wireless regional president for Virginia, Washington and Maryland. "The launch of our broadband network here provides our customers with access to the very latest wireless technology."

BroadbandAccess

Based on Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) network technology, BroadbandAccess provides mobile workers with the ability to access their corporate information as if they were attached to the data via a high-speed wired connection but with the freedom of true mobility. Developed with a range of users in mind, the service enables large enterprises, small- to medium-sized businesses and mobile professionals to conduct business anytime, anywhere in the BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, true high-speed data connection.

With BroadbandAccess, business customers, residents and visitors to the area can expect average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps. That means they can download a 1 Megabyte e-mail attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.

BroadbandAccess also enables Verizon Wireless customers to download files significantly faster than customers of wireless service providers that use different broadly deployed network technologies. Furthermore, customers who travel outside the enhanced BroadbandAccess coverage area with an EV-DO device will switch seamlessly to the company's NationalAccess service.

V CAST: Video and Music

The company's wireless broadband network also enables its V CAST multimedia services, which offer customers the ability to download full-song tracks, play cutting-edge 3D games and stream video clips straight to their handsets with top transmission speeds. With content updated daily, customers can watch dozens of on demand videos, including breaking news, weather updates, sports highlights, and the hottest entertainment clips. With V CAST Music, Verizon Wireless has built a massive full-song mobile music store that contains more than 2.8 million songs -- from well-known as well as independent artists -- that customers can download over-the-air, directly onto their V CAST Music-enabled wireless phones.

Investment

The multi-million dollar expansion includes the installation of high-tech wireless hardware and software in wireless transmission sites throughout the region. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $44 billion since it was formed -- nearly $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. In the Washington/Baltimore/Virginia region, the company invested $300 million just last year, bringing the company's regional network investment to more than $1.8 billion since 2000.

Verizon Wireless was the first national wireless provider to commercially launch a high-speed wireless broadband network in the United States. These communities in Virginia are the latest to be added to the coverage. For more information about Verizon Wireless products and services, call 1-800-2 JOIN IN or go to http://www.verizonwireless.com/.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 65.7 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 69,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Sentry Data Systems Announces Deficit Reduction Act Compliance ToolSentinel RCM(TM) Now Provides Compliance to a Challenging New Federal Regulation

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Sentry Data Systems, Inc. today announced the availability of DRA Tool(TM), a new feature of its Sentinel RCM(TM) pharmacy revenue cycle management product. DRA Tool(TM) is a reporting and claims editing module that comprehensively supports the additional reporting requirements of Section 6002 of the Federal Deficit Reduction Act (DRA).

About The Deficit Reduction Act

The Federal Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), Section 6002, requires Medicaid participating ambulatory care providers to report the National Drug Code (NDC) when billing for physician administered medications on Medicaid claims. NDC numbers uniquely identify a pharmaceutical's vendor, product, and trade package size, and are maintained by the Food and Drug Administration. The previously unreported NDC is now required on claims submitted to Medicaid in addition to the currently required CPT/HCPCs codes and units.

DRA Tool(TM) Brings Comprehensive, Automated Compliance

Sentry's DRA Tool(TM) automatically matches the correct 11 digit NDCs with appropriate outpatient procedure codes to allow for uninterrupted claims payment by a state's Medicaid Program. Tracking the 11 Digit NDC provides a new mechanism for individual states to maximize their Medicaid rebates from manufacturers and is financially critical for states and responsible entities.

"Sentinel RCM's DRA Tool(TM) provides hospitals with immediate billing compliance by either electronically editing claims as they are submitted and by providing reports that comply with each state's individual requirements, " said Travis Leonardi RPh., C.P. President and Founder of Sentry Data Systems.

Existing Sentinel RCM(TM) customers need only contact Sentry for activation, and new customers can benefit from Sentry's experience in installing the required interfaces on a comprehensive list of Hospital Information Systems.

"New regulations and new compliance guidelines typically mean more work for a hospital's technical staff, but the power of the Sentinel RCM(TM) system is such that we can simply activate new features," said John Peebles, Sentry's CIO.

Sentry has a strategic alliance with Cardinal Health to bring these solutions to hospitals and health systems across the country. Steve Lawrence, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Cardinal Health's Healthcare Supply Chain Services - Pharmaceutical segment said, "Through our partnership with Sentry Data Systems, Cardinal Health is uniquely positioned to offer our customers a valuable service offering to address the challenges of the Deficit Reduction Act's reporting requirements to the state Medicaid offices."

About Sentry Data Systems, Inc.

Sentry Data Systems offers technology solutions which maximize efficiency while minimizing the administrative burden of pharmacy procurement. These products enforce compliance with an entity's policies and procedures relating to program regulations and processes. Built upon Datanex(TM), a robust informatics platform, they include Sentry's flagship products Sentinel RCM(TM) and Sentrex(TM), which address a wide variety of pharmaceutical compliance, operational and revenue management challenges.

Headquartered in Deerfield Beach, FL, Sentry currently serves clients in 15 states and its systems currently process over 260,000 healthcare transactions per day. For more information about Sentry, please visit http://www.sentryds.com/.

E-Marketers, ISPs Take Fresh Look at Battling Spam With Revised MAAWG Best Practices for Volume Senders

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG) has released version 2.0 of its Senders Best Communications Practices defining how volume email senders can improve the deliverability of legitimate e-newsletters and permission-based e-marketing. The recommendations, originally issued last year as one of the first collaborative efforts between network operators and volume senders worldwide, has been updated to address new forms of spam and to clarify permission options.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070124/CLW180LOGO )

Available today at the MAAWG site http://www.maawg.org/, the updated best practices include new guidelines to help legitimate email avoid being mistaken for image-based junk mail, which has become a popular spamming technique. List permission and opt-in recommendations have been amended to reflect current practices, and recommended user-unsubscribe processes are clarified, along with other updates to the document, according to Dennis Dayman, MAAWG senders committee co-chair and Eloqua Corp. chief privacy officer.

"The MAAWG senders best practices are intended to help protect users' online experience by improving industry cooperation and communication. For example, in this update we advise e-marketers not to embed unsubscribe instructions in an image or icon, as many users' systems will automatically block the message or not display the icon," Dayman said.

Originally issued by MAAWG last year, the best practices were developed through the cooperative effort of the industry's largest ISPs, network operators and vendors. The original practices also were endorsed by other trade associations, such as CAUCE (Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email), an organization that represents Internet users and email recipients.

About the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG)

The Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG) is where the messaging industry comes together to work against spam, viruses, denial-of-service attacks and other online exploitation. MAAWG (http://www.maawg.org/) represents almost one billion mailboxes from some of the largest network operators worldwide. It is the only organization addressing messaging abuse holistically by systematically engaging all aspects of the problem, including technology, industry collaboration and public policy. MAAWG is a member of the global London Action Plan (LAP) and StopSpamAlliance, and leverages its members' depth and experience to tackle abuse on existing networks and new emerging services. Headquartered in San Francisco, Calif., MAAWG is an open forum driven by market needs and supported by major network operators and messaging providers.

Anacomp Introduces InvoiceLogistix for Accelerated On-Demand Invoice ProcessingNew Service Allows Users to Automate Invoice Processing With Minimal Initial Investment and IT Involvement

SAN DIEGO, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IAPP ANNUAL FORUM -- Anacomp(R) Inc., a leading business process solutions company, today announced the availability of InvoiceLogistix(TM), a new, hosted invoice processing service offering users accurate, accelerated invoice processing. The service is targeted to accounts payable (A/P) professionals who desire a reliable and cost-effective method of streamlining operations, expediting payments, and improving financial information quality. Anacomp is launching the new offering as part of its exhibition at the International Accounts Payable Professionals (IAPP) Annual Forum, taking place this week in San Diego.

Designed for rapid deployment and production, InvoiceLogistix dramatically reduces the amount of manual labor typically required to process invoices. The service leverages Anacomp's robust docHarbor(R) business platform, including high-volume document capture, scalable online document repository and flexible business process management (BPM) software-as-a-service (SaaS). InvoiceLogistix transforms incoming paper invoices into digital images from which invoice data is automatically extracted, validated, delivered into the A/P workflow for approval and payment, made available for easy access online and, ultimately, archived. By accelerating invoice processing through automation, users can decrease data-entry errors, better manage cash flow, eliminate late payment penalties and take advantage of or negotiate for early payment discounts. Furthermore, by utilizing automated invoice processing on an outsourced, on-demand basis, users can accelerate such benefits with minimal initial investment and involvement of their own IT resources.

"Competitive companies today are willing to outsource certain finance functions that are not core to their business competencies, and as such they desire solutions that are easy to use, scalable and flexible enough to meet their specific needs," said John Turner, Anacomp's Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "InvoiceLogistix meets such requirements by leveraging a proven, on-demand platform and outsourced SaaS that helps users reduce the costs, IT involvement and risks that come with implementing and adopting new technology."

Numerous industry studies illustrate the increasing costs of manually processing invoices. A recent IAPP survey placed the average cost to process an invoice at nearly $8.00, and concluded that as much as 70% of these costs were tied to manual document handling and data entry processes. According to the Institute of Management and Administration (IOMA), invoice processing costs have risen 37% over the past few years while A/P staffs have shrunk by 34%.

"AP departments are being tasked with increasing workloads in an environment where paper invoices remain the dominant medium and the volumes of which continue to rise. Meanwhile, the challenge remains to accurately extract the needed information from those invoices, even down the line item detail," added Turner. "We have many customers already scanning their invoices as part of their payment process, and InvoiceLogistix allows users to take the next step to automate and streamline the entire process for rapid, accurate payment."

Key InvoiceLogistix functions offered include: -- Invoice reception, opening, sorting and preparation -- Imaging and data extraction -- Data matching and validation -- Content management, approval workflow and export -- Document storage -- 7.5 years included with the service -- Reporting and analysis -- Professional service, support and training

More information about InvoiceLogistix can be found at http://www.anacomp.com/solutions/invoicelogistix/

IAPP is dedicated to providing its members with the necessary resources to succeed in the ever-changing accounts payables environment. The group's 18th Annual Forum is being held April 20th-24th at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. More information can be found at http://www.iappnet.org/.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate Express US Inc. has launched two new virtual tools for customers to browse and purchase green products: the Ecoffice(R) Source, an online virtual catalog, and the Ecoffice Way, a special shopping section on the company's premiere online ordering website E-Way.
