Silicon Image Responds to Analogix Semiconductor Lawsuit

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Silicon Image, Inc. , a leader in semiconductors and intellectual property for the secure storage, distribution and presentation of high-definition content, today announced that Analogix Semiconductor, Inc. has filed a complaint against Silicon Image in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that Silicon Image conducts its business in a manner contrary to the antitrust laws of the United States, including with respect to the operation of HDMI Licensing, LLC, and Simplay Labs, LLC, wholly owned subsidiaries of Silicon Image.

Silicon Image believes this filing is in connection with the earlier lawsuit filed by Silicon Image in January 2007 against Analogix in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, accusing Analogix of copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unlawful business practices. The case is scheduled to go to trial in September 2008. In its lawsuit, Silicon Image alleges that Analogix, without authorization and in violation of Silicon Image's intellectual property rights, copied and utilized Silicon Image's proprietary register maps and semiconductor configuration software.

"It is unfortunate that, as the trial date for our case against Analogix approaches, they have chosen to file a complaint against Silicon Image containing allegations that are without merit and an attempt to distract from the legitimate issues about Analogix's business practices raised in our litigation against the company," said Edward Lopez, Silicon Image's chief legal officer.

HDMI technology has been adopted by more than 800 semiconductor, consumer electronics and PC manufacturers; all producing a wide variety of HDMI-enabled products. According to a December 2007 report by market research firm In-Stat, over 229 million devices incorporating HDMI technology are expected to ship in 2008, with an installed base of nearly 1 billion HDMI-enabled devices projected by 2010.

Microsoft and Nortel Make Unified Communications Available to Businesses Everywhere

LAS VEGAS, June 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Nortel delivers first integration with Microsoft's carrier-hosted HMC 4.5 unified communications solution.

Today at NXTcomm08, Microsoft Corp and Nortel announced a fully hosted carrier solution that delivers a unified communications experience to small and midsize businesses (SMBs), extending benefits previously available only to large enterprises. The hosted solution is based on the Nortel Communications Server 2000 (CS 2000), an Internet Protocol multimedia softswitch, and the Microsoft Solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration Version 4.5 (HMC 4.5), which comprises hosted versions of Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Nortel is delivering the first integration with HMC 4.5 to help manage real-time communications and deliver a unified messaging experience.

Microsoft Introduces First Embedded Operating System Optimised Specifically for Portable Navigation Device (PND) Manufacturers

REDMOND, Washington, June 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 provides a platform enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to quickly build next-generation connected PNDs.

Microsoft Corp today announced the availability of Windows Embedded NavReady 2009, Microsoft's first embedded operating system designed specifically for OEMs building handheld portable navigation devices (PNDs). Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 delivers innovative technologies to help developers and OEMs quickly bring to market smart, connected, service-oriented PNDs that easily connect to online services, mobile phones using Bluetooth, Windows-based PCs and the internet. Based on Windows Embedded CE, Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 builds upon a decade of experience and success that the Windows Embedded Business has achieved by helping developers and OEMs simplify the development, user experience and maintenance of their PND designs.

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

"As demand for personal navigation devices continues to increase, and existing owners look to upgrade from their original devices, original equipment manufacturers must continue to innovate and enhance their products with features that will attract a variety of users," said Chris Jones, Canalys vice president and principal analyst. "Personal navigation solutions will increasingly become connected, which will open up new opportunities to add value through the delivery of dynamic information and location-based services. But this is a highly competitive market and it is important that businesses like Windows Embedded help OEMs and others bring these rich devices to market quickly and efficiently."

Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 Key Features

This release also provides a number of benefits that can help developers and OEMs quickly bring to market new scenarios in which the PND connects to other devices and online services. Features include the following:

-- Live Search delivers OEMs and partners key elements enabling internet-based Live Search on devices to find up-to-date points of interest similar to the ones provided by the Live Search Maps service. -- Bluetooth technologies enable OEMs to provide rich, hands-free scenarios to users with the following profiles: Hands Free, Pairing Service, Phone Book Access, Advanced Audio Distribution, Audio and Video Remote Control, Dial Up Networking and Bluetooth Connection Manager. Users will be able to use their PND device as a hands-free device to make phone calls or data connections when the device is paired with a compatible phone enabled with Bluetooth. -- MSN Direct enables OEMs to incorporate MSN Direct technologies. These technologies can reduce users' commute time while enhancing the travel experience by providing up-to-date information such as traffic alerts and fuel prices. -- Windows SideShow functionality helps enable the PND as a secondary display screen for many Windows Vista-based PCs*, allowing Windows SideShow gadgets to interact and exchange information with the PND and providing a rich user experience at home or work.

"As a leading designer and manufacturer of portable navigation devices we have relied on Windows Embedded CE as a proven real-time operating system for our Mio product line," said Samuel Wang, president of Mio Technology Corp. "With the launch of Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 and the introduction of features including Live Search, MSN Direct and Bluetooth capabilities, we are looking forward to bringing our next-generation PNDs to market with a richer end-user experience and in a reduced timeframe."

"Windows Embedded powers many of the portable navigation devices in the marketplace," said Kevin Dallas, general manager of the Windows Embedded Business at Microsoft. "Our commitment to this segment has always been about providing the platform and tools that give our OEM partners the most innovative technologies while reducing the complexity of development. We firmly believe the release of Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 helps us fulfil this promise by taking the PND experience to the next level. Adopting Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 today will allow device-makers and solution providers to focus on innovation while bringing smart, connected, service-oriented portable navigation devices to market in time for the 2008 holiday retail season and beyond."

With the addition of the Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 solution, Windows Embedded now presents two device category-specific offerings: Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 and Windows Embedded POSReady. Windows Embedded POSReady, the next generation of Windows Embedded for Point of Service, is scheduled to ship in 2009.

Updated Microsoft Hosted Messaging and Collaboration Solution Gives Service Providers Expanded Business Communication Services to Attract SMBs

LAS VEGAS, June 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Latest version adds voice and webconferencing capabilities; partners broaden solution with unified communications services and hosting automation tools.

Today at NXTcomm08, Microsoft Corp announced the general availability of Microsoft Solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration (HMC) Version 4.5, offering service providers a robust platform to deliver integrated, streamlined communications services to small and midsize businesses (SMBs). The latest version adds new services enabled by Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, providing enhanced collaboration and presence functionality by integrating contact information with the various ways people communicate. In addition, Microsoft partners, including network equipment providers, independent software vendors and systems integrators, have built solutions extending the HMC 4.5 platform. These range from delivering advanced voice capabilities to empowering end customers with hosting automation tools, as well as developing consulting practices for solution deployments, upgrades and further customisation.

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

With support for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, HMC 4.5 facilitates real-time communications and delivers a unified messaging experience. In addition to the integration of e-mail, fax and telephony into the PC desktop, mobile devices and web access, HMC 4.5 also enables new voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) capabilities, including PC-to-PC calling and webconferencing. As companies are increasingly relying on mobile and remote workers, these new services offer workers the same voice and data communications they would have if they were in the office.

In addition, HMC 4.5 takes advantage of the recently launched Windows Server 2008 operating system with Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS7) to provide new virtualisation capabilities and security enhancements. With these capabilities, service providers can realise improved resource utilisation and have a reliable platform for an optimised datacenter deployment.

"Service providers today need a robust platform that they can reliably scale to deliver new services, support customers and manage costs," said Steve Zimba, managing director of the Global Telecom Business at Microsoft. "Hosted Messaging and Collaboration Version 4.5 addresses these requirements and allows service providers to differentiate their offerings by creating service bundles, offering private-label solutions for the broader IT channel, and creating targeted, customised solutions."

Partners Extend Opportunities With HMC 4.5

A number of partners are currently working to build additional applications on the HMC 4.5 platform, including Nortel, BroadSoft Inc and Sylantro Systems Corp. Nortel has combined HMC 4.5 with its Communications Server 2000 Internet Protocol multimedia softswitch to deliver a new, powerful unified communications solution offering real-time communications, such as PC-to-PSTN calling, with Microsoft's collaboration services, such as click-to-call, click-to-conference, missed-call e-mail messages, mobility and telephony presence. BroadSoft and Sylantro plan to launch similar offerings in late 2008.

In addition, Microsoft partners ExtendASP, Ensim Corp and Parallels have extended HMC 4.5 to offer management software designed to empower customers and simplify administration tasks with delegated administration, automated provisioning, and device and client configuration.

"At Ensim, our mission is to create software for service providers that allows them to focus on promoting and selling their hosted services rather than operations and development," said Francois Depayras, vice president of marketing and alliances at Ensim. "With HMC 4.5 and its support for Microsoft Office Communications Server, we are excited to further support a broad range of applications that will provide end customers an extensive selection to choose from."

Microsoft has also partnered with consulting companies, such as implement.com Corp and Planet Technologies, to develop consulting practices to support HMC 4.5. These practices are designed to assist service providers with installation and solution upgrades, and to provide training and documentation services to ensure best practices are followed.

"As a consulting company that specialises in Microsoft technologies, implement.com is ready to work with service providers to roll out HMC 4.5 and help customise it according to their specific functionality requirements," said Steve Schwartz, chief executive officer of implement.com.

NXTcomm08 attendees can obtain additional information by visiting Microsoft booths SL5916 and SL5923. Further details on HMC 4.5 are available at http://www.microsoft.com/serviceproviders/solutions/hostedmessaging.mspx.

Atmel Introduces picoPower tinyAVR Microcontrollers for Battery-based and Cost-sensitive Applications

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel(R) Corporation announced today two new low power 32-pin tinyAVR(R) microcontrollers, the ATtiny48 and ATtiny88 devices which have 4- and 8-Kbytes of Flash memory, respectively. These AVR(R) microcontrollers consume less than 240 uA at 1.8V and 1 MHz, and below 100 nA in power-down mode and are especially suited for portable and power sensitive systems such as remote control, accessories and small appliances.

The ATtiny48/88 operates from 1.8 to 5.5 volts and features a 10-bit ADC, SPI, I2C interface, internal temperature sensor, and have up to 12 MIPS throughput at 12 MHz. Like all the other AVR microcontrollers, the ATtiny48/88 features an on-chip debug system for easy, fast, and robust development.

"Atmel's successful picoPower megaAVR(R) devices offer the best-in-class power saving features and performance. The ATtiny48/88 is now extending the reach, offering an affordable solution for applications that require very low power consumption and are very cost sensitive. Our customers in the consumer electronics market want to develop products that consume less and less power, and the new ATtiny48/88 are a perfect fit," said Jukka Eskelinen, Director of tinyAVR Product Marketing.

All tinyAVR microcontrollers use the standard AVR microcontroller development tools. The AVR Studio(R) AVR integrated development environment is available free of charge on Atmel's web site.

About Align Technology, Inc.

Align Technology designs, manufactures and markets Invisalign, a proprietary method for treating malocclusion, or the misalignment of teeth. Invisalign corrects malocclusion using a series of clear, nearly invisible, removable appliances that gently move teeth to a desired final position. Because it does not rely on the use of metal or ceramic brackets and wires, Invisalign significantly reduces the aesthetic and other limitations associated with braces. Invisalign is appropriate for treating adults and older teens. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA clearance to market Invisalign in 1998.

"Consumers have been enjoying Web 2.0 features like voting and social networking on consumer web applications like Digg and Facebook for years. But traditional enterprise applications are still stuck in the '90s," said George Hu, executive vice president marketing, applications and education at salesforce.com. "Salesforce.com is changing all that by delivering Web 2.0 interfaces and collaboration technologies in Salesforce Summer 08."

"As the CRM market continues to evolve, the integration of Web 2.0 technologies into CRM processes is a key step in driving greater end user productivity by making applications more intuitive to use," said Rebecca Wettemann of Nucleus Research.

Now, salesforce.com customers, partners and developers can develop interfaces just as elegant as the industry's leading technologies. Visualforce includes all the resources developers need to build rich, interactive applications and user experiences for a variety of audiences, applications, and devices. More than 4,000 developers have already created more than 11,000 custom interfaces in the Visualforce developer preview program.

Combined with the powerful logic and workflow intelligence provided by Apex Code, Visualforce offers the flexibility to meet the requirements of applications that feature many different types of users on a variety of devices.

Harnessing the Power of Collaboration for Employees, Customers and Partners

Salesforce Summer '08 empowers companies to use Web 2.0 collaboration technologies to transform their business and partner, customer and employee communities.

Salesforce Content brings the power of SaaS to managing unstructured data within an enterprise by utilizing the best of consumer Web technologies such as tagging, subscriptions and recommendations. Salesforce Content users manage their documents and unstructured data directly in Salesforce to improve productivity and effectiveness in every corner of the enterprise.

Salesforce Content, with the introduction of Summer '08, is the perfect complement to all of the Salesforce CRM applications. Companies can now collaborate in Salesforce Content with their partners and customers in the Salesforce Partner Portal and Salesforce Customer Portal. Using the appropriate portals, partners and customers will be able to quickly and easily gain access to relevant content.

"Now we can collaborate with our entire community. With Salesforce Content, we have enhanced the experience of our customers by delivering the right information when it's needed most," said Steven Frers, Vice-President of Service and Support at CompassLearning.

Salesforce Summer '08 delivers additional new features for Salesforce Content including:

-- Global Availability -- Recognizing that it is becoming increasingly important for businesses of all sizes to work with companies across the globe, salesforce.com is making Salesforce Content now available in all supported 15 languages. Users can now tap into the power of multi-language search to find relevant materials, no matter where they are or what language they speak. -- Content Analytics -- Content Analytics ends the guessing game when it comes to the effectiveness of corporate materials. Usage metrics can now effectively be tracked to determine the most frequently used content among sales reps, marketers and other users. Based on the data gathered from dashboards and reports, the documents, presentations and other materials in Salesforce Content are optimized for maximum effect.

The second pillar in salesforce.com's collaboration applications is Salesforce Ideas, an entirely new type of application that enables customers to tap into the innovative power of their customer, partner or employee communities by allowing them to post, discuss, and vote on ideas. Leveraging the power of Force.com Platform-as-a-Service, Salesforce Ideas makes it easy to manage top ideas from inception to implementation.

Since its release, Salesforce Ideas has enabled companies to effectively engage with their internal and customer communities. With the release of Salesforce Summer '08, companies can capture the unique perspective of their partner community by including Salesforce Ideas in the Salesforce Partner Portal.

With Salesforce Summer '08, Salesforce Ideas benefits from additional new features including:

-- Multiple Communities -- This new feature enables companies to create multiple communities in order to better organize and segment the ideas coming from different groups, and provide participants with a forum to engage with the specific communities that most apply to them. -- Customizable Ideas -- With Salesforce Summer '08, users can customize fields in Salesforce Ideas and expose data directly to the original posting. Closely integrated with the Force.com Platform-as-a-Service, Customizable Ideas also allows users to set up validation rules, workflows and Apex triggers off keywords alerting companies to relevant conversations taking place within their communities. With Customizable Ideas, companies can monitor and respond more effectively to the demands of their communities.

GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cimatron Limited , a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM solutions for the toolmaking and manufacturing industries, was named as one of the fastest growing CAM vendors.

The CAM market ranking was compiled by consulting and research firm CIMdata and published in the recently-released NC Software and Related Services Market Assessment Report.

According to a press release issued by CIMdata, "The rapid growth of Cimatron in 2007 and 2008 is a combination of improved organic growth and the acquisitions of Microsystem in 2007 and Gibbs and Associates in 2008."

CIMdata views Cimatron as "one of the industry leaders in the toolmaking software marketplace." Defining the merger of Gibbs with Cimatron as "a positive move", the CIMdata report goes on to explain: "The companies are very complementary to one another in product, markets pursued, and distribution channels. It brings together the CimatronE integrated CAD/CAM suite focused on toolmaking with GibbsCAM-which is focused on production machining to provide a more complete product portfolio for the manufacturing industry."

"The CIMdata report and ranking reflect the success of our growth strategy," said Danny Haran, Cimatron's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The 2007 results are attributed to our efforts to develop and launch competitive products for broader segments of the toolmaking and manufacturing sectors, as well as to the positive contribution of the Microsystem acquisition. We expect to see additional growth in 2008 based on the success of our product line and the merger with Gibbs and Associates, which enables us to better serve the global market through our joint distribution network."

Verizon Business' IP Networking Powers Thing5 Software-as-a-Service OfferingAgreement With Hotel-Messaging Vendor Also Features Verizon's Hosting and On-Demand Sharing of Bandwidth for VoIP

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Thing5, a leading provider of messaging-based software services to the hospitality industry, is leveraging Verizon Business' industry-leading voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) and hosting services to offer voice and messaging services for hotel employees and guests.

Under an agreement with Verizon Business, Thing5 is providing its hosted platform via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model to approximately 1,300 hotels, covering more than 275,000 phones. Hospitality chains such as Extended Stay Hotels, La Quinta and the luxury boutique hotel collection LXR Luxury Resorts & Hotels outsource the provisioning, management and maintenance of voice and messaging platforms that serve corporate end-users and guests at each individual property.

With the SaaS model, applications such as voice mail, automatic call distribution, audio conferencing, faxing and instant messaging are hosted by a vendor rather than the customer, and delivered as managed Internet protocol (IP) services over the Web, helping to control setup and operational costs. Customers pay for the computing resources utilized, making the model highly attractive to the hospitality industry.

"The hospitality industry has a set of unique business characteristics and requirements," said Bill Faxon, managing director, Thing5. "Working with Verizon Business, we have a flexible and reliable IP network over which we are able to provide our customers highly available voice and messaging platforms. The IP networking capabilities delivered by Verizon Business enable Thing5 to help our hospitality clients control costs through our SaaS model."

Verizon Business provides the IP trunking that connects hotel properties to Thing5 data centers. A newly available Verizon Business service, Burstable Enterprise Shared Trunks (B.E.S.T.), enables on-demand sharing of under-utilized trunk capacity. Verizon Business is the only major North American service provider to offer this VoIP capability to quickly shift bandwidth capacity.

Thing5 also uses Verizon Business hosting to augment its own facilities, thereby enabling load balancing of traffic and providing redundancy to strengthen business continuity.

"The work we are doing with Thing5 underscores the transformative power of IP," said Stephen P. Young, senior vice president, corporate and government market sales, Verizon Business. "Using the SaaS model, our IP services help Thing5 deliver services to hospitality clients with ease of management and low cost. Our IP capabilities not only help power Thing5's business, they also enable its customers to operate more efficiently."

Verizon VoIP solutions enable high-quality voice communications in a converged network environment, leveraging Verizon Business' vast national and international footprint and a wide range of innovative features. Verizon Business is a leader in developing and delivering IP solutions helping large businesses and government agencies transition to VoIP on their own path and pace. The VoIP services also allow customers to use their existing infrastructure, enabling them to mix and match services, whether network or premises-based.

About Thing5

Thing5 L.L.C. is a provider of next-generation hosted voice solutions, including out- and in-bound calling, delivered on a highly scalable and geographically redundant platform. The company's solutions are delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS), offering better security and control, as well as expertise in telecommunications solutions.

Global Crossing Reports GCUK's First Quarter 2008 Results

LONDON, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Crossing , a leading global IP solutions provider, today announced first quarter financial results for its subsidiary, Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Limited (GCUK).

Highlights

GCUK generated 78 million pounds in revenue in the first quarter, with adjusted gross margin of 69 percent or 54 million pounds and adjusted IFRS EBITDA of 21 million pounds. (Adjusted gross margin and adjusted IFRS EBITDA are both non-GAAP metrics that are defined and reconciled below.) The company also generated 15 million pounds in cash from operations.

"GCUK continues to be a strong contributor to the company's results and an important part of the company's overall global strategy," said John Legere, Global Crossing's chief executive officer. "Our focus on delivering the best customer experience and giving customers world-class IP services is driving steady progress in the UK."

Revenue and Margin

GCUK generated revenue of 78 million pounds, compared with 76 million pounds in the prior quarter and 75 million pounds for the same period in the prior year. This represents an increase of 2 million pounds or 3 percent on a sequential basis and an increase of 3 million pounds or 4 percent year over year. Both the sequential and year-over-year increases came from strength in the company's "invest and grow" category -- namely that part of the business focused on serving enterprises and carrier customers excluding wholesale voice. Sales order values in the first quarter of 2008 remained consistent with those seen in 2007.

Adjusted gross margin (as defined in table 6 that follows) for the first quarter of 2008 was 54 million pounds or 69 percent of revenue, consistent with the prior quarter in which adjusted gross margin was 53 million pounds or 70 percent of revenue and 52 million pounds or 69 percent of revenue in the first quarter of 2007.

Costs

Cost of revenue, which includes cost of access, technical real estate, network and operations, third party maintenance and cost of equipment sales, was 50 million pounds for the quarter, compared to 45 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 49 million pounds in the first quarter of 2007. The sequential increase was due to higher access costs associated with increased revenue as well as an increase in stock-based compensation costs resulting from annual resetting of the annual bonus program accrual to target levels and an increase in cost of equipment sales. In addition, the fourth quarter of 2007 included a real estate rebate. The year-over-year increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to a higher cost of access expense relating to increased revenue and was largely associated with the new contract signed with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), which was announced last quarter.

Sales, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) remained relatively flat on a sequential and year-over-year basis.

Earnings

GCUK's adjusted IFRS EBITDA for the first quarter was 21 million pounds, compared with 22 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 18 million pounds in the first quarter of 2007.

GCUK recorded net profit of 1 million pounds for the first quarter of 2008, compared with a net loss of 2 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2007 and a net profit of 1 million pounds in the first quarter of 2007. The sequential variance in net profit was primarily due to a 4 million pound tax charge in the fourth quarter associated with a write-down of a deferred tax asset.

Cash Position

As of March 31, 2008, GCUK had 33 million pounds of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter totaled 15 million pounds. GCUK's net increase in cash and cash equivalents was 9 million pounds in the first quarter, including 6 million pounds for capital expenditures and principal payments on finance leases.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC's) Regulation G, the attached tables include definitions of adjusted IFRS EBITDA and adjusted gross margin measures, as well as reconciliations of such measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

International Financial Reporting Standards

GCUK's results reported here include unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2007; the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008; and the audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, in accordance with IFRS. GCUK's results for the first quarters of 2008 and 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2007 were included in Global Crossing's consolidated results previously reported on May 8, 2008, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) and in U.S. dollars.

Management believes that Adjusted Gross Margin is a relevant indicator of operating performance since it links revenue lines with the largest and most directly related costs incurred to generate such revenue. Adjusted Gross Margin should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the income statement and to provide comparability to the parent company's financial presentations, which include this metric. Definitions: Adjusted gross margin is revenue minus cost of access. Gross profit is revenue minus cost of access, customer-specific costs, third party maintenance and depreciation and amortization recorded to cost of sales.

Micrel Enables World's Smallest Load Switch With Highest Current for Maximum Mobile FeaturesThe MIC94040/1/2/3 Series Targets High-End, Compact Portable Devices Requiring High Current

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Micrel Inc., , an industry leader in analog, high bandwidth communications and Ethernet IC solutions, today launched the MIC94040/1/2/3, a new family of high side load switches featuring breakthrough packaging technology. The chips are aimed at a wide variety of high-end portable, battery powered consumer devices, including smart/feature phones, personal multimedia and navigation, and Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs). The MIC94040/1/2/3 are currently available in volume quantities with pricing starting at $0.34 for 10K quantities. Samples can now be ordered on line on Micrel's web site at: http://www.micrel.com/ProductList.do.

"Advanced feature convergence in today's small handheld battery powered devices requires the power system to control many higher current supply rails and at the same time, provide the smallest possible solution," said Andy Khayat, director of Micrel's portable product group. "Micrel's unique packaging technology employed by the MIC94040/1/2/3 family gives portable device designers the best solution for high current, space-constrained applications."

Micrel's innovative version of MLF(R) package technology extends battery life by greatly reducing the on-resistance (RDSON) of the MIC94040/1/2/3 devices down to 28mohm. Also, superior thermal performance of the new package technology allows more than 3A continuous current from a tiny 1.2mm x 1.2mm package, enabling applications such as UMPCs to use the MIC94040/1/2/3 for high current circuits. Each device operates from 1.7V to 5.5V input and can be controlled with very low 1.5V logic due to a novel level shift circuitry that allows it to control higher voltage supplies. The MIC94040 and MIC94041 feature rapid turn on, while the MIC94042 and MIC94043 provide a slew rate controlled Soft-Start turn-on of 116microns (typical) to prevent in-rush current. In addition, the MIC94041 and MIC94043 feature an active load discharge circuit that ensures capacitive loads are automatically discharged whenever the main switch is in an OFF state.

"The MIC94040/1/2/3 family continues Micrel's dominant lead in portable load switches by complementing the MIC9406x and MIC9407x product families," noted Andy Cowell, vice president of marketing for Micrel's analog product division. "The MIC9404x, the world's smallest load switch family, enables the designer to select the lowest cost, smallest footprint solution, allowing for more compact and effective mobile designs."

SmartStream Technologies Banks on Informatica to Accelerate Customer ROIExtends leadership by OEMing Informatica data integration platform

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Informatica Corporation , the leading independent provider of data integration software, today announced that SmartStream Technologies, a leading provider of software to the financial services industry, is OEMing the Informatica PowerCenter data integration platform as part of its flagship Transaction Lifecycle Management (TLM) solutions.

In making Informatica PowerCenter the foundation of its SmartStream TLM Business Integration (TLM BI) offering, SmartStream is empowering those customers with complex data environments to accelerate the return on investment of their TLM deployments through the high-performance and cost-effective integration of data involved in transaction cycles.

"The increasing drive to streamline global banking practices means our software needs to manage highly complex and rapid transactions across platforms and different banks. By using Informatica, rather than continually creating bespoke data interfaces, we can enable a faster ROI while freeing our professional services teams to provide more value to customers," said Neil Vernon, head of SmartStream's Product Management Group. "We selected Informatica to power TLM BI following an evaluation where they scored highest against our key criteria of usability, reusability and performance. In addition, it was critical that TLM BI have the focus and support of a recognized best-of-breed vendor such as Informatica."

Previously, SmartStream took a custom approach to addressing the data integration needs of each customer. But with banking becoming more globalized, legislated, and focused on achieving operational efficiency, SmartStream solutions have increasingly needed to embrace multiple data formats, utilize data from many more platforms, and meet the requirements of an expanding transaction lifecycle. In turning to Informatica, SmartStream is now able to meet these needs through a standard platform approach to data integration that can keep pace with customers' escalating processing requirements, and has avoided having to build and sustain advanced integration capabilities on its own.

As the data integration engine for TLM BI, Informatica PowerCenter serves as the data hub for a growing number of SmartStream customers with complex data environments. PowerCenter provides these customers with a highly scalable and codeless development environment to facilitate the integration of data from literally hundreds of disparate source systems and applications. This includes handling data from proprietary and legacy banking systems as well as industry standard libraries including CHAPS, SWIFT, NACHA and FIX. Consequently, Smart Stream has reduced both its own development costs and those of its customers, sped up customer time-to-value, and redeployed its professional services teams from data integration tasks to providing higher-value business process management consulting.

"Powerful data integration is pivotal in today's banking environments, from managing risk to knowing the customer to providing visibility into transaction processes like the way SmartStream does it," said Harry Gould, senior vice president, Worldwide Alliances, Informatica. "Informatica-powered data integration is a key resource in more than 800 financial institutions worldwide. And it is also an increasing strategic advantage for ISVs and SIs serving the financial and other industries, who can turn to Informatica to address technical challenges that lay outside of their core expertise. This keeps them and their customers perpetually on the cutting edge of data integration performance and functionality."

SmartStream Technologies provides enterprise-wide, real-time Transaction Lifecycle Management (TLM) solutions to 1,000 clients, including more than 75 of the world's top 100 banks. SmartStream's solutions enable clients to tackle the barriers to Straight Through Processing (STP) and create more efficient, customer focused, cost-effective, compliant operations.

New Orbitz Price Assurance(SM) - If Our Airfare Drops, Travelers Get Automatic Cash RefundNew Innovation Makes Orbitz the First Travel Company to Automatically Refund Travelers When Cheaper Fares are Booked on Their Site

CHICAGO, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Orbitz.com (http://www.orbitz.com/), a pioneer in online travel, today introduced a game-changing new service for its customers called Orbitz Price Assurance(SM). The latest in a history of innovations from Orbitz, Orbitz Price Assurance allows customers to book and buy airfare and rest easy, knowing they are getting the best price for their flight available on our site.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070813/AQM125LOGO)

With Orbitz Price Assurance, if the price drops for a plane ticket booked on Orbitz.com and another customer subsequently books the same airline ticket on Orbitz.com for less, Orbitz will automatically send travelers a cash refund for the difference.

"Orbitz Price Assurance is a significant step forward in improving the travel booking experience," said Steve Barnhart, CEO and president, Orbitz Worldwide. "Delivering on our commitment to be the best place to search for and book travel, we are automatically refunding our customers if another customer books the same flight for less."

Orbitz has a strong heritage of innovation. Orbitz was the first online travel site to launch the transparent Flight Matrix, easing airfare comparisons for customers. Since 2003, Orbitz has sent more than 100 million alerts to its customers warning them of flight delays, gate changes or cancellations. Via its staff of full time air traffic controllers in its Chicago OrbitzTLC Center, mobile access platform (http://mobile.orbitz.com/) or Traveler Update service (http://update.orbitz.com/), Orbitz continues to be at the cutting edge of technology and service innovations in travel.

With Orbitz Price Assurance, travelers will no longer have to worry about airfare prices dropping after they have booked.

How Orbitz Price Assurance Works * Once a customer books a flight on Orbitz, our website starts tracking to see if another customer books the same itinerary on Orbitz at a lower price. Price Assurance is only applicable for flights booked on or after June 6, 2008. * If that happens, Orbitz will issue a refund for the difference, between $5 and $250 per traveler. Orbitz will continue tracking until the day of the customer's flight. Each time the price drops and another customer books, the refund amount will increase. * Orbitz will notify customers via email when another flight is booked at a lower price including the refund amount they will receive. Customers can also monitor this information in the "My Trips" tab on Orbitz.com. * Customers will receive a refund check approximately 30 days after the trip is completed. Orbitz will mail it to the billing address for the credit card used to make the booking. Recipients will have 90 days from the date the check is issued to cash it.

"Price continues to be the number one motivating factor when Americans are booking flights(1)," says Aaron Cooper, Group Vice President of Online Marketing for Orbitz Worldwide. "Orbitz is the only travel company to give our customers an automatic refund to ensure they get the lowest airfare on Orbitz possible."

More details about Price Assurance are available at http://www.price.orbitz.com/. About Orbitz Worldwide:

(1) These are some of the findings of an Ipsos/OrbitzWorldwide poll conducted June 3rd - June 5th, 2008 using the Ipsos U.S. Express Omnibus Survey. Recent fliers were asked the most important factor in booking a flight. The most important factor was Price (45%), followed by flight date (26%), and flight time (20%). For the survey, a nationally representative, randomly selected sample of 1,000 adults across the United States was interviewed by telephone to reach past year air travelers. A total of 370 people who had flown for any reason in the past year were interviewed. With a sample of 370 people, the results are considered accurate within +/-5.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would have been had the entire adult population of air travelers in the U.S. been polled. The margin of error will be larger within regions and for other sub-groupings of the survey population. These data were weighted to ensure the sample's regional and age/sex composition reflects that of the actual U.S. population according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Amdocs Unveils Industry's First On-Demand Charging and Service Delivery OfferingAmdocs Compact Convergence On-Demand to expand addressable markets

ST. LOUIS, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs , the leading provider of customer experience systems, today unveiled plans for the release of Amdocs Compact Convergence On-Demand, the industry's first complete service enablement solution based on the "On-Demand" delivery and business models. This positions Amdocs as the only company that can enable greenfield to mid-tier service providers, such as the new WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) entrants, to offer services through an On-Demand model. In addition, it affordably provides capabilities to launch, charge and support new services quickly and with all the benefits of a "pay-as-you-grow" model.

On-Demand (a.k.a.

"Amdocs has been delivering software and services to the largest service providers in the world for the past 25 years," said Guy Dubois, executive vice president of Amdocs. "With Amdocs Compact Convergence On-Demand, Amdocs is expanding its footprint in the marketplace to deliver Amdocs' software and industry best practices to smaller providers at an affordable and predictable total cost of ownership. Using the On-Demand platform, these service providers will be able to compete effectively in the market and offer a superior customer experience to their end customers."

Available later this year, Amdocs Compact Convergence On-Demand is the first-of-its-kind On-Demand offering spanning business and operational support systems, service delivery, and intelligent networks (IN). The Amdocs offering includes convergent real-time charging, business applications, customer care and self-service. It also provides a powerful service creation environment, including application and media servers and network gateways, and automates processes to enable rapid time to market for new services.

Management believes that adjusted IFRS EBITDA is a relevant indicator of operating performance, especially in a capital-intensive industry such as telecommunications. Adjusted IFRS EBITDA is an important aspect of the company's internal reporting and is also used by the investment community in assessing financial performance. This non-GAAP measure should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the consolidated statement of operations. Definition: Adjusted IFRS EBITDA consists of profit (loss) for the period before non-cash stock compensation, taxation, finance costs, finance revenue and depreciation and amortization expense recorded to cost of sales and administrative expenses.

Management believes that Adjusted Gross Margin is a relevant indicator of operating performance since it links revenue lines with the largest and most directly related costs incurred to generate such revenue. Adjusted Gross Margin should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the income statement and to provide comparability to the parent company's financial presentations, which include this metric. Definitions: Adjusted gross margin is revenue minus cost of access. Gross profit is revenue minus cost of access, customer-specific costs, third party maintenance and depreciation and amortization recorded to cost of sales.
