Low-Power Silicon Oscillator from STMicroelectronics Saves Parts-Count and Streamlines DesignSTCL1120 silicon oscillator technology is tougher than quartz, smaller and faster than ceramic, and saves power compared to alternative silicon devices

GENEVA, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The STCL1120 family of silicon oscillators from STMicroelectronics , a world leader in analog and mixed-signal ICs, combines fast start-up and high immunity to shock, vibration and EMI (electromagnetic interference) with lower operating current and a chip-select control for easier and more efficient power management compared to other silicon-based devices.

The first STCL1120 family members to be introduced are 10-, 12- and 16MHz devices. The short startup time of 50 microseconds and best-in-class 0.65mA operating current for the 12MHz version combine with the chip-select capability to enable power savings for engineers seeking a cost-effective and robust alternative to ceramic or quartz-based oscillators. As a further benefit, no external components are required, allowing designers to eliminate the capacitance matching typically necessary with ceramic resonators. The STCL1120 oscillators also operate directly from a 5V supply.

By implementing an external chip-select pin, the STCL1120 provides an easy way for engineers to stop the clock when the application is in standby mode, gaining extra power savings by reducing the oscillator current to less than 3 microamps. The push-pull, CMOS-compatible output produces a square wave for direct interfacing with on-board components including logic devices, microcontrollers, FPGAs and ASICs.

The fixed operating frequency is accurate to within +/- 1.5% throughout all operating conditions. A 32kHz silicon oscillator is also offered and further variants of the oscillators, with tighter accuracy, will be introduced in the future. Specified for operation from -20 to +85 degrees C, the STCL1120 serves motor-control applications, home appliances, building controllers, display drivers, advanced battery chargers, and low-speed USB peripherals such as computer keyboards or mice.

Packaged in a 5-lead SOT23 package, the STCL1120 family is available immediately in production quantities. Unit pricing starts at $0.50 in quantities of 10,000.

ING Launches Managed Retirement Accounts From Morningstar Associates

CHICAGO, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Morningstar, Inc. , a leading provider of independent investment research, today announced that ING is now making available Morningstar(R) Retirement Manager(SM), including a managed retirement account service, to more than 26,000 retirement plan sponsor clients and 1.8 million plus participants. This "do it for me," fee-based discretionary account management service option expands the breadth of services offered by Morningstar Associates to ING clients, which include plan investment line-up selection and a free participant investment advice option. The addition of discretionary managed accounts helps meet a wider range of participant needs, and may be used as a qualified default investment alternative (QDIA) under the provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

"Investing for retirement can be a challenge for many individuals who may be overwhelmed by the complex decisions they face in their employer's plan," said Rick Mason, president, ING Retirement Services Market Segments. "These investors recognize that retirement is not a 'do-it-yourself' project they can handle on their own," he adds.

With Morningstar Retirement Manager, participants receive a personalized retirement strategy, including a retirement income goal assessment, recommended savings rate, and construction of an appropriate portfolio strategy based on individual goals. Participants who enroll in the managed account service will also benefit from professional asset management, ongoing account monitoring, and quarterly progress reports to help them track their advancement toward their goals.

"Plan sponsors and their fiduciary advisers increasingly seek services like Retirement Manager that can give participants the added confidence they need in their investment decisions to help them remain invested," added Mason.

"Investors can panic during times of economic uncertainty and sabotage their retirement goals. Having a long-range plan and staying the course through bull and bear markets can help investors save enough to provide income after they leave the workforce," said Patrick Reinkemeyer, president of Morningstar Associates. "Consequently, we're focused on helping people create a retirement strategy that establishes long-term savings, contributions, and income goals. Once a strategy is established, our investment professionals can then create and manage an investment portfolio that is designed to meet those long-term objectives, and move investors closer to a successful retirement."

"By working with Morningstar, we are taking an extra step in providing our customers with an objective, third-party solution across the entire spectrum of defined contribution products, which includes plans for employees of small- to mid-sized corporate employers, government, healthcare and education entities," said ING's Mason.

ING began making online investment advice available from Morningstar Associates in 2002, and assistance with plan investment line-up construction and ERISA 3(21)(a) liability through Portfolio Blueprint in 2003.

CareerBuilder.com Happy Hour Survey Reveals How Many Workers Attend, How it Impacts Careers and the Biggest Mishaps

CHICAGO, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- With summer in full swing, more workers may be heading to happy hours. According to the new CareerBuilder.com survey, one-in-five workers (21 percent) say they attend happy hours with their co-workers. Among those who attend, nearly a quarter report they go to happy hour at least once a month. And while 21 percent of those who attend say happy hours are good for networking, 85 percent reported that attending a happy hour did not help them get closer to someone higher up or land a better position in the company.

Why do workers go to happy hour? The majority (82 percent) of workers report that they attend happy hour to bond with their co-workers, while another 20 percent find it to be a great way to network. Fifteen percent of workers said they attend to hear the latest office gossip, while 13 percent only go because they feel obligated to be there. One-in-ten workers (11 percent) use happy hour as a way to bond with their boss.

Who is going to happy hour? An equal number of male and female workers say they attend happy hours with co-workers. Workers aged 25-34 were the most likely to attend (29 percent), while workers aged 55+ were the least likely at 15 percent. The Midwest leads with the most workers (23 percent) saying they go to happy hour with their co-workers, compared to 21 percent in the West and the South. Those least likely to attend were in the Northeast at 20 percent.

The industries who ranked highest for happy hours were: -- Professional and business services (35 percent) -- Financial services (34 percent) -- IT (29 percent) -- Sales (28 percent) -- Healthcare (24 percent)

Among those who attend happy hour, more than one-third of workers in retail sales said going to happy hour helped them to get close to someone higher up in the company and/or a better position, along with 21 percent of financial workers and 20 percent of those in sales.

When asked, workers reported the following incidents happened during a work happy hour:

-- Bad-mouthed a co-worker or member of management (16 percent) -- Shared a secret about a co-worker (10 percent) -- Kissed a co-worker (8 percent) -- Drank too much and acted unprofessionally (8 percent) -- Shared a secret about the company (5 percent) -- Sang karaoke (4 percent)

On the other hand, close to four-in-ten workers (39 percent) who do not attend happy hours do so because they like to keep their work and professional lives separate.

Survey Methodology

This survey was conducted online within the U.S. by Harris Interactive(R) on behalf of CareerBuilder.com among 6,987 employees (employed full-time; not self-employed) between February 11 and March 13, 2008. Percentages for some questions are based on a subset of responses to certain questions. With a pure probability sample of 6,987 one could say with a 95 percent probability that the overall results have a sampling error of +/- 1.2 percentage points. Sampling error for data from sub-samples is higher and varies.

Verizon Wireless Expands Local Wireless Broadband Network in Southern DelawareMore Wireless Customers in Sussex and Kent Counties Can Now Access the Internet at Broadband Speeds and Download Music, Videos and Games to Their Phones

WILMINGTON, Del., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless announced today it has expanded BroadbandAccess, its wireless broadband service, in Sussex and Kent Counties, giving local customers access to the latest high-speed business and entertainment services on their wireless phones, laptop and desktop computers, and PDAs.

Customers living in and visiting Sussex County, including Ellendale, Milton, Georgetown, Harbeson, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Millsboro, Dagsboro, Bethany Beach, and Keenwick can now access their e-mail, corporate data, the Internet, and more at broadband speeds -- in their homes, on the road, or at the beach. The BroadbandAccess expansion also provides coverage along Routes 113, 1, 54, 9, 20, 24, 23, 18, and 5. In Kent County, the service is available on the western border, providing coverage along portions of Route 12 and Whiteleysburg Road (west of Harrington). BroadbandAccess will enable customers to view and download video clips on their phones, download music onto their handsets over-the-air, play 3D games, and send large data files at faster speeds as the company continues to expand the next generation of its high-speed wireless broadband network across Delaware.

"Verizon Wireless is focused on providing the best customer experience, and a major part of that commitment is making sure we continue to have the best, most reliable network," said Christine Baron, president of Verizon Wireless' Philadelphia Tri-State region. "This expansion is yet another step in our consistent focus on investing in our network reliability and providing innovative high-speed data services to our customers across the country and here in Delaware."

Based on Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) network technology, BroadbandAccess provides mobile professionals with the ability to access their corporate information as if they were attached to this 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 larges 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.

Verizon Wireless' EV-DO Rev. A network launched in Delaware in February 2007 and was initially made available throughout most of the state, including the cities of Wilmington, Newark, Dover, and surrounding areas.

BroadbandAccess provides average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps, translating to being able to 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.

"Our enhanced BroadbandAccess service gives our customers three key advantages in wireless communication: speed, mobility and security," said Baron. "With these advantages comes an increase in productivity and bottom-line business benefits."

The company's high-speed network also enables its V CAST multimedia services, offering customers the ability to download full-song tracks from a library of over 3 million tunes, 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, sports highlights, and the hottest entertainment clips.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. The company spent more than $235 million in 2007 to enhance services and coverage in the Philadelphia Tri-State region, which includes Delaware, bringing the total network investment to more than $1.5 billion since 2000.

New Wright Group Early Reading Intervention Closes the Gap for Struggling K-3 Students

CHICAGO, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Wright Group/McGraw-Hill now offers a new systematic, intensive program, Wright Group Early Reading Intervention, (http://www.wrightgroup.com/index.php/programsummary?isbn=0076215067) to quickly accelerate students to grade-level proficiency in just 20 to 30 minutes a day.

The strategic, research-based supplemental curriculum supports the Response to Intervention (RtI) three-tier instructional model -- a widely used intervention method that places students in the appropriate level of support they need to reach grade-level. Wright Group Early Reading Intervention is ideal for students in Tier 2, meaning they have been identified as having a distinct reading difficulty and need supplemental, small-group instruction for at least 30 minutes per day in addition to 90 minutes of core instruction.

Designed for delivery by certified teachers or trained paraprofessionals under the guidance of a reading specialist, Wright Group Early Reading Intervention is a cost-effective solution for schools and districts to deliver services to more students.

Wright Group Early Reading Intervention: -- Includes diagnostic assessments and progress monitoring. -- Incorporates a predictable and efficient intervention routine. -- Integrates the five essential elements of reading. -- Provides an intensive amount of reading in each session. -- Offers strong professional development tools. -- Focuses on acceleration rather than remediation. -- Includes online assessment and printable take-home books. -- Was field-tested in a large, ethnically, and economically diverse school district. Study Shows Program Produces Results

Wright Group Early Reading Intervention is based on materials and instructional routines developed by Naperville, Ill., District 203, where 14 schools participated in a two-year study. For 70% of students, teachers reported that the program produced stronger learners with positive attitudes and behaviors.

During the 2005-2006 school year, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Community Schools began pilots of the program with impressive results. To download the research report, visit http://www.wrightgroup.com/index.php/home/literacy/wrightgrouperi/research/716

High Volume of Reading Accelerates Reading Achievement

Research shows higher-achieving students read approximately three times as much each week as their lower-achieving classmates.

Wright Group Early Reading Intervention provides the extra reading opportunities low-performing students need with instructional routines built around reading and re-reading books. For example, in the Grade 1, students may read books up to seven times within each 30-minute session. The curriculum also provides substantial book collections to ensure that students read new materials every day.

About the Author

Charlene Cobb, Ed.D. is the author of Wright Group Early Reading Intervention. She developed the program based on tutorial programs by Dr. Darrell Morris, Professor of Education and Director of the Reading Clinic at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C., Dr. Morris worked with at-risk students for over 30 years.

Cobb is currently an educational consultant who works with schools and districts to provide support for K-12 literacy programs. She has worked as a teacher, reading specialist, and director of literacy programs.

Geoexchange Technology Provider - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (ESIV) - Reports a 6-month Fiscal Period Revenue Increase of 61% for Manufacturing Operations

BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: ESIV) (FRANKFURT: E6S) a United States-based Geoexchange Company, is pleased to report that it has seen a dramatic increase in positive revenue growth from its wholly-owned manufacturing subsidiary when compared to the same 6-month period from the last fiscal year.

"As it relates specifically to the sales revenues for our manufacturing subsidiary, Essential Innovations Corp. ("EIC"), we're very happy to report revenue growth of 61% for the 6 months ended April 30, 2008. In particular, this is representative of the strongest second quarter in our firms' history with our manufacturing business recording $200,867 USD in direct sales of our proprietary Geoexchange equipment during the period. As we look ahead to results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2008, given that EIC presently has some $500,000 CAD (+/-) worth of equipment in production or as backlog, we anticipate that EIC can achieve a quarterly growth rate on par with, or even greater than this current rate, when the EIC sales figures for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, are formally reported later this year," said Jason McDiarmid, President/CEO, ESIV.

Essential Innovations Technology Corp. provides cutting-edge Geoexchange solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications as both a manufacturer of proprietary geothermal heat pump technology and as a Geoexchange energy service company. The Company was incorporated in April 2001, and it has four wholly owned subsidiaries located in British Columbia, Canada and in Hong Kong, SAR, China.

Geoexchange technology harnesses the earth's clean, renewable thermal energy stored just below the surface or in large bodies of water for purposes of heating, cooling, domestic hot water and/or dehumidification. A Geoexchange system is used to "exchange" the earth's natural heating and cooling properties between a building and the ground. This non-combustion transfer of energy is the source of performance and environmental superiority, as Geoexchange systems need only a small amount of electrical energy to then capture, move and concentrate a large amount of free energy provided by the earth.

AT&T Launches 3G Wireless Broadband Service in ColumbusBroadband-Speed Data Access Allows for Advanced Mobile Services

COLUMBUS, Ga., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Watch video on the go. Surf the wireless Internet at lightning speed. Share live video during a wireless call. These are just a few of the things you can do with AT&T's third-generation (3G) wireless service, now available in Columbus. Today, AT&T Inc. announced the launch of the company's 3G wireless network in Columbus, offering consumers and businesses broadband-like speed and access to the latest interactive voice, video and data applications. AT&T has enhanced the technology at 40 existing cell sites across the Columbus area, and the company will add 12 new cells sites in the Columbus/Ft. Benning area this year, while continuing to expand its 3G network footprint.

AT&T's 3G network opens the door to a new era of mobile services, devices and feature-rich audio and video content, including the simultaneous sharing of voice and live video. This rapidly expanding network, combined with an ever-expanding lineup of 3G devices -- from the Samsung a737 to the LG Vu(TM) -- gives AT&T customers in Columbus the best in mobile communications.

"The city of Columbus is experiencing impressive growth, and we are growing our local network to meet this increased demand for high-quality wireless service," said Steve Sitton, president of AT&T's wireless operations in the Southeast. "Our goal is to ensure that AT&T customers in Columbus have the very best wireless experience possible -- which includes unmatched coverage and quality of service. AT&T 3G delivers exceptional quality and speed when customers are on the move. They can view videos from their favorite shows, play games, download music, check the stock market or just read and write e-mail as if they were at home or in the office."

Many of AT&T's 3G devices support AT&T Video Share(SM), a first-of-its-kind service in the U.S. that enables users to share live video while carrying on a voice call -- providing a new way to share personal moments and key events beyond the capabilities of voice, text and photos.

AT&T's 3G customers can also view razor-sharp video clips through CV, an on-demand streaming video service that offers a comprehensive library of mobile video content from CNN, FOX News, ABC Mobile, CBS Mobile, NBC, ESPN, The Weather Channel, MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, "American Idol," HBO Mobile and more.

AT&T plans to invest nearly $125 million in the Georgia network in 2008 to expand wireless coverage, bringing the company's three-year planned network investment in Georgia for wireless and wired services to nearly $1.5 billion. With the addition of Columbus, the AT&T 3G network is now available in more than 280 U.S. major metropolitan areas. The company will deliver 3G service to nearly 350 leading U.S. markets by the end of 2008, including all of the top 100 U.S. cities.

"At AT&T, our mission is to connect people where they live and work and do it better than anyone else," said Sylvia Anderson, president, AT&T Georgia. "The expansion of 3G service in Columbus is another great example of AT&T's commitment to deliver the most advanced communications capabilities to our customers in the Columbus community. This launch is the result of AT&T's continued investment in expanding wireless coverage across Georgia."

Other plans for 2008 include the completion of the nation's first High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)-enabled network by the middle of the year. The AT&T 3G network now delivers typical downlink speeds ranging between 700 Kbps (kilobits per second) and 1.7 Mbps (megabits per second), and it will now offer faster uplink speeds ranging between 500 Kbps and 1.2 Mbps. The faster uplink speeds allow AT&T's HSUPA-enabled laptop users to quickly send large files and take full advantage of the latest Internet and business applications.

The 3G network in Columbus will launch with HSUPA technology. This year's HSUPA deployment in all 3G markets will complete the transition of the AT&T 3G network to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) standards, marking the only full transition by any wireless provider in the United States to this latest generation of wireless broadband capabilities.

The AT&T 3G network also offers AT&T LaptopConnect mobile customers broadband speeds for laptops, with the ability to access the Internet, their company's intranet or corporate e-mail from anywhere within the 3G network.

The company's wireless network is based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technologies, the most open and widely used wireless network platform in the world, supporting more than 87 percent of the people worldwide who use wireless devices. AT&T can connect customers in more than 200 countries for voice calling, and users have data-roaming capabilities in more than 145 countries for data access.

"Customers need to be able to adapt quickly to the ever-changing requirements associated with quality management, whether they are dealing with one or 10 locations. Livelink ECM - Quality Management System meets this critical need by giving customers a flexible, easily expandable solution that brings a consistent and compliant approach to quality management for the entire organization."

Livelink ECM - Quality Management System integrates the key processes required for life sciences organizations, including:

- Support for Corrective Action Preventive Action (CAPA) Process: CAPA is the industry's process standard for capturing, tracking and reporting quality issues, including observations, complaints, adverse events and audit findings. The Quality Management solution uses forms to capture and present data and information, while workflows are used to integrate the various phases of the CAPA process. - Comprehensive Auditing: Auditing capabilities allow users to create audit templates that can then be used to prepare for specific audits, which flow through workflows for audit initiation, planning, scheduling, execution, reporting, and follow-ups. - Employee Training Management: Training capabilities help to ensure that proper training is conducted by the appropriate staff and auditable training records are maintained. The solution manages training content and programs, stores employee training records and maintains detailed registration and licensing records for compliance management. - Regulated Document Management: Provides lifecycle management of regulated documents. Documents that are needed for audits, CAPA requirements, training and or for other compliance issues can be created, reviewed, approved, edited and maintained within the Quality Management System repository in Livelink ECM. This functionality can be built into the workflows for both audits and CAPA.

Livelink ECM - Quality Management System is available now. For more information please visit: http://www.opentext.com/2/sol-products/sol-pro-compliance-governance/pro-qua lity-management-system.htm

Mercury Computer Systems Introduces Gateway for 10 Gigabit Ethernet to Embedded ProcessingA network-centric building block for VXS that seamlessly moves data between interconnect fabrics

CHELMSFORD, Mass., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. , a leading provider of high-performance, embedded computing solutions for complex image, sensor, and signal processing applications, announced availability of the SR-110 10GE VXS Gateway, a revolutionary network-centric building block for VXS systems.

To maximize the effectiveness of new, sophisticated sensor technologies, system designers are using 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) for fast and flexible image/data distribution, from any sensor to any authorized user. Despite its considerable bandwidth, however, 10 Gigabit Ethernet does not deliver the low- latency, deterministic communications required by real-time processing. A different type of protocol, such as RapidIO(R), must be used for real-time signal processing. The design challenge is to create a network-based solution that can seamlessly and transparently move data between 10GE and RapidIO, so the overall sensor network solution can employ the advantages of both fabrics. To make this type of processing available on a sensor network requires a gateway.

As an example, for network-attached multiprocessing, the SR-110 10GE VXS Gateway from Mercury automatically transports the network data (via 10GE) into the VXS chassis, which in turn streams the data into the serial RapidIO fabric, making the data available to all VXS compute nodes in the chassis. After user application computations are complete, the data is transported out of the system via the Gateway to the 10GE network.

The SR-110 10GE VXS Gateway self-boots at power-up, and is user-configurable. No other programming or user intervention is required to enable high-bandwidth data streams into and out of the Gateway.

"With the SR-110 10GE VXS Gateway, we've taken Mercury's proven ability to capture and process large volumes of sensor data in real time to the sensor network architecture paradigm, enabling fast, flexible and transparent data movement between the 10GE and RapidIO fabrics," said Ian Dunn, Chief Technologist, Advanced Computing Solutions, Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. "By deploying the Gateway in VXS, developers can implement a single, platform-wide Ethernet network that streams sensor data to C4I (command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence) applications."

Based on the Freescale MPC8548 processor, the Mercury SR-110 10GE VXS Gateway is a highly integrated platform that includes a Power Architecture(TM) core, serial RapidIO, Gigabit Ethernet controllers, and an integrated DDR2 memory interface. With MultiCore(TM) Plus software, the SR-110 10GE VXS Gateway supports both gateway and bridging modes. Support features include:

-- bridging/forwarding of all Ethernet frames (Transparent Layer 2 switch in bridge mode),

-- broadcast and multicast with IGMP v2 snooping in both directions, and -- redundant/failover gateway support.

For more information on the Mercury SR-110 10GE VXS Gateway, visit http://www.mc.com/gateway, or contact Mercury at (866) 627-6951 or at info@mc.com.

Interactive Chat Solution From LivePerson Generates 305% ROI for One of the World's Largest Financial InstitutionsIndependent Research Firm's Analysis Reflects Incremental Value of Third-Generation Chat Platform

NEW YORK, June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LivePerson, Inc. , a provider of online engagement solutions that facilitate real-time assistance and expert advice, today announced key findings of a commissioned study -- conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of LivePerson -- illustrating the bottom-line benefits and return on investment of LivePerson's chat technology deployed at one of the world's largest financial institutions.

The Forrester Consulting study examined the total economic impact and potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying LivePerson's chat technology to increase sales, reduce customer service costs and increase customer satisfaction.

Forrester Consulting Study Key Findings

After conducting in-depth interviews with one of the largest U.S.-based financial institutions, which employs LivePerson's third-generation chat solution across seven lines of business, Forrester Consulting found that the organization's most mature deployments for sales and service achieved:

-- Increased incremental online conversion rates and average order size

The chat-assisted application completion rate was 138% higher than self service. In addition to saving and closing otherwise lost customers, interactive chat increased the average dollar value of transactions.

-- 305% ROI from proactive sales chat with a payback period of 6 months

The three-year risk-adjusted ROI of proactive chat for sales-focused activities was 305%.

-- Reduced customer service costs and increased customer satisfaction

Chat enabled the organization to deflect service inquiries from more costly channels: 59% of chats would have otherwise resulted in a customer service call; 9% in email; and 13% of chats would have otherwise resulted in a branch visit. Customer service chats also had a high first-contact resolution rate resulting in increased customer satisfaction.

-- 120% ROI from customer service chat with a payback period of 6 months

Forrester Consulting found that service-focused chat generated a three-year risk-adjusted ROI of 120% with a payback period of 6 months. Because the reference organization implemented chat for two distinct functions (sales and customer service) and maintains separate cost and benefit data for the two areas, this study analyzed sales- and service-focused chat separately.

"This independent study from Forrester Consulting reflects the value, effectiveness and incremental revenue possible with LivePerson's third-generation chat solution," said LivePerson CEO Robert LoCascio. "The online channel represents a significant opportunity to generate incremental revenue and improve the overall customer experience, and we're committed to helping our customers maximize the business potential of the Web."

Forward Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. This press release contains forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor provisions of those Sections. The Company's future operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties and could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company's control. These risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers, limitations of the Company's manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of the Company's proprietary technology, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to goodwill and investments, foreign regulations and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. In addition, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers' visibility deteriorates causing delays in the placement of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of the Company's revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter. Forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, Risk Factors, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company as of December 31, 2007, as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
