Content Management Meets Web 2.0 Without Enterprise Risk - EMC Delivers Version 6.5 of Documentum ECM SuiteFosters New Ways People Work with Enhanced Performance, Security and Compliance

HOPKINTON, Mass., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation , the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced the EMC Documentum Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Suite version 6.5 -- a family of products that marries the great user experience of Web 2.0 and the strength of the enterprise-class Documentum platform to deliver a balance between business agility and IT control.

Visit the following url for the multimedia press release http://www.emc.com/about/news/press/2008/documentum-delivers-d65.htm .

Web 2.0 enables new ways for people to work and collaborate. However, security and compliance concerns are preventing many organizations from fully embracing Web 2.0 technologies or worse, leaving them open to risks as end users experiment with applications on their own. In addition, the volume of incoming information from Web 2.0 applications is equally threatening and requires that systems scale to meet the increased performance demands of a Web 2.0 world.

"The explosion of digital content combined with the ease of use of Web 2.0 and social computing fuel users' expectations for how technology should work and how they should access information. As a result, IT is faced with a new challenge of meeting these heightened expectations while providing a secure information infrastructure," said Melissa Webster, Program Vice President, Content & Digital Media Technologies at IDC. "The next generation of ECM needs to provide business users with appealing and flexible content-enabled solutions while ensuring that IT continues to maintain control by mitigating these new elements of risk."

Documentum ECM 6.5 introduces several key innovations that deliver a rich Web 2.0 user experience and enhanced XML capabilities, while delivering improved enterprise performance and scalability, federated records management as well as accelerated transactional business processes. For the first time, companies will be able to leverage the appeal of newer technologies for users, improve the existing content applications already in use, and power all of these with a more scalable and secure ECM platform than ever before available.

"With the release of Documentum ECM 6.5, EMC is raising the bar for the next generation of enterprise content management," said Balaji Yelamanchili, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Content Management and Archiving at EMC. "We're delivering a balance of the best experience for users with the control and performance IT needs to sustain a scalable and secure information infrastructure."

Rich Web 2.0 User Experience

In today's Web 2.0 world, companies are required to provide a set of user experiences that enable employees to work with corporate information the way they work with personal information -- easy to use, easy to find and easy to interact with others. By marrying the best of the user experience models with robust ECM capabilities, Documentum ECM 6.5 extends the value of ECM to a much broader set of users, creating new ways for them to work and collaborate.

Key products in Documentum ECM 6.5 that provide users with a rich Web 2.0 experience include:

-- Documentum CenterStage Essentials, a new client for knowledge workers which is being released as a free online beta. The completely redesigned interface is extremely easy to use and features shared team workspaces, guided search and simple Documentum access.

-- Documentum Media WorkSpace, a new rich media interface which provides users a highly personalized, dynamic and familiar way to view, find, compare, annotate, review and share rich media assets.

-- My Documentum, a new lightweight client that is completely integrated with the desktop providing users with immediate access to the latest versions of content they use most often as well as allowing them to access and work on documents when they are not connected to the server.

-- Documentum Web Publisher Page Builder, a newly designed, Flex-based Web authoring interface provides non-technical business users authors with interactive and easy to use tools to create compelling Web experiences.

-- An enhanced Documentum TaskSpace delivers a highly configurable, all- in-one user experience that combines content, process, high-fidelity forms and monitoring to accelerate business processes and substantially increase user productivity.

End-to-End XML Ready

Community based authoring, which is common in Web 2.0 technologies, is changing the format and increasing the amount of content being generated. Users expect content to be automatically delivered, combined, and repurposed as digital mash-ups to suit the personalized context in which they work. XML is a key enabler for achieving this flexibility by allowing highly granular access to and assembly of all types of information.

The enhanced XML capabilities in Documentum ECM 6.5 are delivered through Documentum XML Store, a new native XML database available within the Documentum platform and related content delivery applications. A market first, EMC provides an integrated, end-to-end solution for creating, managing, accessing, archiving and delivering XML alongside all other types of enterprise content. Documentum's XML capabilities consist of robust management of XML documents and components, high-performance search and query of XML content, dynamic delivery and content transformation applications for content repurposing and personalized publishing as well as solutions for Technical Publications (DITA) and Aerospace and Defense (S1000D).

Improved Enterprise Performance and Scalability

The Documentum ECM 6.5 platform also allows IT to address today's exploding content requirements while enhancing enterprise performance, security and compliance. EMC's Documentum High-Volume Server delivers a centralized and optimized set of services for mass-volume applications such as archiving and transactional content applications. The High Volume Server provides high speed ingestion, batch processing, lightweight footprint for metadata and data partitioning-all designed to serve the needs of extremely high volume applications.

To make it significantly easier to work with rich media files as they increase from megabytes and gigabytes to even terabytes in size, EMC AVALONidm is now integrated with the Documentum digital asset management products. This enables seamless and automated management of business policies and movement of large video content across tiered storage.

"Version 6.5 of the Documentum ECM Suite continues to live up to the performance and scalability that we've come to expect from the Documentum platform," said Chris Campbell, a Documentum architect at FirstCommand Financial Services. "Its ability to support high-volume transactional and archive environments makes it our unified platform of choice for ECM."

Limitless Records Management

EMC Documentum Federated Records Services (FRS) extends records management capabilities to provide a single system of record for business content that needs to be preserved for governance and compliance purposes, regardless of location or system. FRS enables content that resides in other repositories to be managed by Documentum allowing improved policy enforcement and management, improved compliance and records capture and lowered cost of discovery. With FRS, customers can preserve the investment they've made in third party records and retention management systems, rather than replacing them.

Accelerating Transactional Business Processes

The Documentum ECM 6.5 also includes enhancements to EMC's Documentum Process Suite designed to expand the user experience in constructing and delivering process-centric applications in a Web 2.0 world. EMC Documentum Forms Builder now enables the creation of high-fidelity electronic forms that truly resemble their paper counterparts-without the associated bottlenecks, overhead costs and risk. Also included are bar code and electronic signature support, as well as automatic field validation, offline support and intuitive graphical design tools.

EMC Documentum Business Activity Monitor (BAM) has significant enhancements that utilize Flex-based technologies to deliver business performance dashboards that provide interactive charts and graphs indicating process status, bottlenecks and other business performance events. Dashboards are updated in real time and are embedded within Documentum TaskSpace to provide a single point of control for business processes.

All products in Documentum ECM 6.5 will be available July 31, 2008 except for CenterStage Essentials and My Documentum, which will be available later in the current quarter (Q3 2008).

NetSuite ISV Partners Leverage NetSuite SaaS Developer Platform to Address Advanced Marketing Automation and Customer Service Needs of Mid-Market CompaniesVelaro, LivePerson, Pardot and Silverpop Extend NetSuite Business Application Suite Using NS-BOS to Provide Live Chat and Marketing Automation

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NetSuite Inc. , a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business management software suites for the mid-market enterprise business and divisions of large companies, today announced the latest product extensions to the NetSuite Business Operating System (NS-BOS) built by NetSuite developer partners. Quickly emerging as one of the leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) development platforms, NS-BOS gives ISVs access to the powerful capabilities in NetSuite's core applications, as well as the tools they need to extend these capabilities to address specific customer needs throughout the business process lifecycle. These new ISV-built solutions -- from Velaro, LivePerson, Pardot, and Silverpop -- are designed especially for customer service and customer support-centric companies, as well as the broader marketing automation needs of any mid-market enterprise. The availability of these solutions was announced today in conjunction with the unveiling of new AJAX- powered features for NetSuite CRM+ (please see the accompanying press release). For more information about NS-BOS, please visit http://www.netsuite.com/NS-BOS.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20021024/SFTH024LOGO)

"Today's announcement of these latest software products from NetSuite partners are perfect examples of how ISVs can leverage the power and flexibility of NetSuite and the NS-BOS platform," said Mini Peiris, VP of Product Marketing at NetSuite. "Whether integrating new value-add applications, or building vertical solutions, the NS-BOS development platform enables our partners to focus on their unique expertise, solutions and business. This helps them to rapidly expand into increasingly dynamic and vertical markets offering a comprehensive business suite that has NetSuite at its core."

NS-BOS: Open for Business

Unlike other SaaS development platforms, NS-BOS does not require all applications to be written using code proprietary to the platform. Instead, NS-BOS takes an open, standards-based approach that enables developers to leverage industry-standard javascript and SOAP-standard Web services for developing and integrating applications with NetSuite's comprehensive business suite.

NS-BOS delivers a SaaS development platform that enables ISVs and developers to address the end-to-end needs of businesses. By building on and extending the core of NetSuite, NS-BOS increases ISVs' speed-to-market. This is because every application built using NS-BOS can interact with and leverage the core ERP / CRM / Ecommerce functionality of NetSuite and related data managed by the suite. This way, developers can focus on their unique differentiation rather than spending time on core functionality such as customer service cases or lead management.

Velaro, LivePerson, Pardot, and Silverpop are a few of the many NetSuite ISVs and VARs who are taking advantage of the power of NS-BOS to offer solutions that span a range of applications -- from live chat, to very specific marketing automation processes including Web analytics and large volume email marketing. The following are highlights of their most recent value-added solutions to NetSuite:

-- Velaro (http://www.velaro.com/) -- Founded in 2000, Velaro is a leader of online conversion management. Velaro's unique Software-as-a-Service solution converts website visitors into customers. Velaro's product suite intelligently learns, engages and reacts to customers. This makes Velaro a choice solution for leading B2B and B2C companies.

"Velaro's new NetSuite integration eliminates unnecessary steps in sales and service processes. Also, instead of having customer information stored in separate disparate systems, or having online agents manually move critical information between systems, Velaro does it for them," said Alex Bloom, President of Velaro. "Building the integration with NetSuite was facilitated by the flexibility and depth of the NS-BOS platform which allows Velaro to easily tap into the core NetSuite sales and service objects."

-- LivePerson (http://www.liveperson.com/) -- Based in New York City, LivePerson is a provider of online engagement solutions that facilitate real-time assistance and expert advice. Connecting businesses and experts with consumers seeking help on the Web, LivePerson's hosted software platform creates more relevant, compelling and personalized online experiences. Every month, LivePerson's intelligent platform helps millions of people succeed online; more than 6,000 companies, including EarthLink, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Qwest, and Verizon, rely on LivePerson to maximize the impact of the online channel.

"LivePerson's state-of-the-art live chat technology seamlessly integrates with NetSuite to extend the rich functionality of NetSuite's on-demand applications," said Philippe Lang, Senior Vice President for LivePerson. "This new advanced integration is built using the NS-BOS platform and is extremely flexible in catering to the needs of both business-to-business and business-to-consumer organizations that use the NetSuite and LivePerson applications for online sales and support operations."

-- Pardot (http://www.pardot.com/) -- Pardot's Prospect Insight is an on-demand lead management platform that can show a sales team exactly where to spend its time in order to maximize ROI. Advanced micro-level Web analytics allows Prospect Insight to capture all relevant prospect activities, both on and off an organization's website, and help determine the prospects that are showing the most buying signals. The solution syncs seamlessly with NetSuite to provide sales reps and marketers with real-time micro-level Web analytics and tracking.

"As B2B sales organizations continually look for ways to improve ROI on marketing efforts, tying together disparate systems and data stores becomes a priority," said Adam Blitzer, Vice President of Marketing at Pardot. "By seamlessly integrating with NetSuite's core CRM objects via the NS-BOS platform, Pardot is able to deliver a true lead management solution, allowing clients to quickly follow up with their most sales-ready leads and automatically nurture those that are less qualified. The two systems work in tandem to eliminate the guesswork and subjectivity that typically slows down B2B sales teams."

-- Silverpop (http://www.silverpop.com/) -- A premier email service provider, Silverpop delivers a comprehensive array of on-demand, Web-based software solutions serving the online relationship marketing needs of enterprise-level organizations throughout the world. Its Software-as-a-Service approach makes it easy and affordable for marketers to create, automate and execute lifecycle multi-channel marketing campaigns that are timely, relevant and measurable. With highly scalable tools supporting both BtoC marketing initiatives and BtoB lead management processes through its Vtrenz solution, Silverpop delivers a robust suite of marketing tools not available elsewhere in the marketplace.

"NetSuite's offering is much broader than a stand-alone CRM solution, and by integrating with Silverpop's Vtrenz solution using the NS-BOS platform, it extends value by adding BtoB demand generation and full marketing execution and automation," said Bryan Brown, Director of Product Management and Development, Silverpop. "The result is a very intuitive, complete solution for businesses, with seamless workflow achieved thanks to the core NetSuite objects exposed and accessed through the NS-BOS platform."

NS-BOS Gains Momentum

Since its launch in February 2008, NS-BOS has attracted more than 1,000 ISVs and developers, who have created over 60 applications, built on NetSuite, across 15 vertical application areas. NS-BOS delivers a platform for customization, integration and vertical application creation that includes:

-- Software-as-a-Service Infrastructure -- Third parties developing applications on NS-BOS will host those applications on NetSuite's multi-tenant, on-demand architecture.

-- Complete Suite -- By including the NetSuite application within the NS-BOS application development environment, developers can embed the industry-leading ERP / CRM / Ecommerce suite within their applications.

-- SuiteFlex -- Based on industry standard JavaScript, the SuiteFlex scripting environment can be used for application development, customization and integration specific to a single customer or an entire industry using everything from point-and-click tools, to SuiteTalk Web services, to the full SuiteScript programming language. SuiteFlex also includes SuiteScript D-Bug, the first Platform-as-a-Service code debugger which enables real-time code validation and testing against the complete NetSuite application, enabling faster iterative development.

-- SuiteBundler -- SuiteBundler is breakthrough technology that allows for the delivery of ISV-built vertical solutions to SaaS customers in a packaged, repeatable manner, eliminating time-consuming, error prone overhead costs of re-coding.

Consumer Electronics Association Kicks Off Its Nationwide Free Trade Campaign at Audiovox Corporation Headquarters

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)(R) began a new nationwide grassroots educational initiative to help all Americans understand the importance of trade to creating jobs and driving U.S. economic growth. This collaborative effort among CEA and its membership kicked-off in high fashion yesterday morning at Audiovox Corporation headquarters.

CEA is engaging in this national effort to highlight the importance of trade to American companies and most importantly, American workers. This 28-state campaign will feature a pro-trade branded bus tour that will embark on a "road trip" throughout the country -- visiting communities across the Nation to demonstrate the value of trade to American business and to our Nation's economy. A formal conference was held Mayor Bloomberg and other CEA dignitaries yesterday afternoon, but not before the CEA bus pulled into 150 Marcus Blvd. for opening remarks by Audiovox Chairman, John Shalam and Audiovox CEO, Patrick Lavelle, who also serves as Chairman of CEA.

"America Wins with Trade is a fitting CEA slogan, because we do win. We win by creating jobs, fueling corporate growth and by putting more money in the hands of the consumers to aid economic expansion," said Shalam. "America is the largest exporter of goods and services in the world. If we continue to allow our global competitors to enter new countries before us and establish their brands and presence, it becomes harder for us to compete and cuts down on our exports, which has a damaging effect on the U.S. economy. The consumer electronics industry is a vital part of America's global economy and I am appreciative of CEA's efforts."

Spurred by trade, the consumer electronics industry is projected to generate $1.4 trillion in direct business activity this year and directly employ more than 4.4 million Americans. Trade plays a critical role in the industry's health -- for example one in seven of those jobs, or about 616,000 jobs, is directly tied to America's trade overseas. Of CEA's 2,300 members, 80 percent are small and mid-sized companies with revenues of $30 million or less. For companies of this size in particular, trade is crucial for business growth and domestic job creation.

"Free trade fosters competition, which in the end, directly benefits consumers as product quality is enhanced and at more affordable prices. It also creates jobs both in and outside of the United States. The efforts underway by CEA are of the utmost importance to Audiovox, the consumer electronics industry and America. I would like to commend CEA for taking such an active role in educating our legislators and the public at large about the importance of free trade and how it benefits all Americans," stated Pat Lavelle.

CEA has called on Congress to pursue a pro-growth trade policy that includes:

-- Aggressively pursuing bilateral trade agreements. In the absence of an agreement in the Doha Round of the World Trade Organization (WTO), bilateral trade agreements offer the next best way to open foreign markets to U.S. small businesses. Trade agreements create sales opportunities, reduce costs and diminish uncertainties. Through trade agreements we can implement intellectual property rights standards, establish substantive investment protections and provide increased transparency to U.S. exporters. Currently, CEA urges Congress to pass the Colombia, Panama and Korea Free Trade Agreements.

-- Reauthorize trade promotion authority. Without trade promotion authority our trading partners will be reluctant to negotiate trade pacts with the U.S. America's hands will be tied, and the U.S. will fall behind other nations negotiating trade agreements at an unprecedented pace.

-- Eliminate non-tariff barriers. Non-tariff barriers hinder trade and burden small companies with unnecessary compliance costs. Examples of these barriers include cumbersome customs regulations, corrupt government procurement processes, and most recently, a proliferation of divergent or non-harmonized approaches to environmental standards, among others.

-- Uphold and enforce trade agreements. In addition to pursuing new agreements, the U.S. must commit to maintaining and enforcing those agreements already in place. The U.S. must take an aggressive stance to protect products already covered by the WTO's Information Technology Agreement (ITA). The ITA covers over 97 percent of the world trade in information technology products, and provides for the elimination of duties on those covered products. But as technology has evolved, many countries claim that the ITA does not apply to the next generation of covered products. It is crucial for the United States to uphold provisions of the ITA that allow for future developments of IT products and enable companies to enjoy the full scope of the agreements intended duty-free benefits.

"Trade isn't just vital to our companies and our industry, it is essential to preserving America's prosperity and way of life. Our political leaders have told us to make the case to the American people why trade is vital to our nation's future, so we are launching this nationwide effort," said CEA President and CEO Gary Shapiro. "The facts demonstrate that trade creates millions of American jobs and provides billions of dollars to our economy. When America competes in the global marketplace, our nation's economy and workers win."

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is the preeminent trade association promoting growth in the $161 billion U.S. consumer electronics industry. More than 2,200 companies enjoy the benefits of CEA membership, including legislative advocacy, market research, technical training and education, industry promotion and the fostering of business and strategic relationships.

Additionally, L-1 also was awarded $24.8 million over five years for the new U.S. Border Crossing Card (BCC) as part of an expansion to the U.S. Passport Card program. Together, the value of the prime contract award combined with the BCC award brings the value of the Department of State contract with L-1 to $239 million over five years.

The U.S. Passport Card is a convenient, wallet-sized document for land and sea travel between the United States and Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and Bermuda. It is not valid for travel by air. Full production and distribution of the new U.S. Passport Card began in mid July 2008, with over 350,000 Americans pre-ordering the U.S. Passport Card. The card has a vicinity-read Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) chip that enables Customs and Border Protection inspectors to access photographs and other biographical information stored in secure government databases before the traveler reaches the inspection station. For privacy protection, there is no personal information written on the electronic chip itself. The chip has only a unique number pointing to a stored record contained in secure government databases.

The Department of State expanded the U.S. Passport Card contract to include the BCC specifically for Mexican Visa applicants. The Department of State anticipates issuing up to 10 million cards to qualified Mexican Visa applicants over the next five years. The BCC is modeled after the U.S. Passport Card and will incorporate an improved design, a vicinity-read RFID chip with read capacity consistent with other documents used by the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security. Since the new BCC will be produced from the same card stock as the new U.S. Passport Card, it will incorporate the same overt, covert and forensic security features, making it one of the most secure credentials in the world. The BCC is the planned Phase 4 of the U.S. Passport Card contract and the new card is slated to begin issuance in Fall 2008.

"L-1 has a long history of helping State, federal and international governments to produce the most secure credentials possible for their citizens and our experience positions us ideally to partner with the DoS in the new border crossing card initiative," Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman and CEO of L-1 Identity Solutions.

L-1 companies have a long history of producing highly-secure identification cards and credentials on time and on budget. The contract award is a natural extension of L-1's current passport contract where L-1 is the sole source provider for the U.S. passport personalization printers. L-1 also supplies the Department of State Facial Recognition Systems for consular programs as part of the Department's ongoing efforts to support national security. Additionally, L-1 produces driver's licenses for one-third of all U.S. states.

Rankings are based strictly on responses from client surveys.

After a stringent external auditing process, the client experience responses of nearly 24,000 buyer executives determined the 2008 Black Book of Outsourcing rankings.

Developed in 2004, its annual study is recognized as the single measure as the only independent industry standard for customer satisfaction in the global services industry. Over half of the responses are gathered from CXO-Level and governance respondents.

These top performance suppliers emerge through ranking the fifty highest among 4,207 global suppliers of various service lines and locations, based on the collective client experience of 24,910 user respondents in 2008. 1,690 suppliers from 45 countries, who received at least ten verifiable client ballots, were qualified for the 2008 Black Book 50. Vendors cannot influence or opt out of the balloting process.

According to Scott Wilson, Partner, Brown-Wilson Group and co-author of The Black Book of Outsourcing, "Intelligroup, ranked among the top suppliers due to its continuous focus on customer satisfaction in ERP and Extended ERP services, and successfully engage and manage outsourcing relationships as recognized by their actual clients."

"Intelligroup is especially pleased to be recognized by The Black Book of Outsourcing given the emphasis placed on positive client feedback," said Pankit Desai, Senior Vice President of Sales for Intelligroup.

Optimum Lightpath Launches Data Center Connectivity ServicesEthernet Rapidly Becoming Technology of Choice to Meet Critical Data Center Needs

JERICHO, N.Y., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimum Lightpath(SM), an industry leader in providing advanced Ethernet-based communications services over its Intelligent Enterprise Network, today announced the launch of its Data Center Connectivity Services. Optimum Lightpath's Data Center Connectivity Services are specifically designed to support a range of storage hosting and backup services to clients, including Business Continuity Disaster Recovery (BCDR), Remote Replication, Backup and Recovery, Data Center Storage Area Network, and Disk and Transaction Mirroring.

Optimum Lightpath's Data Center Connectivity Services are delivered over a highly intelligent, reliable and secure fiber optic network, providing a separate and diverse alternative to the traditional phone company network. This network diversity is important to businesses and data center companies seeking storage hosting and backup services, as it ensures protection of data in the case of a network interruption.

"Data storage has become a critical issue impacting every market segment, and every business, regardless of size. Off-site data centers are a growing component of most enterprise data management architectures due to disk storage prices falling, and the reliability, administrative issues and costs of tape backup systems continuing to plague IT shops," said Dave Pistacchio, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Optimum Lightpath. "With the launch of our Data Center Connectivity Services, we're proud to provide our clients the type of flexible bandwidth -- low latency communications needed to remain on plan with their Data Center connectivity initiatives."

Many businesses operate in highly regulated industries, such as financial services, healthcare and government. With zero tolerance for downtime, these organizations require extremely reliable mission-critical data center services. A host of state and industry regulators are now urging, and in some cases requiring, the development of business continuity plans to ensure the backup, protection and recovery of data on a long-term basis. Ethernet is rapidly becoming the technology of choice to address these critical data center needs, because of its ability to provide transparent connectivity over the wide area.

"We just did a recent survey of network managers," said Cindy Borovick, IDC research VP for Datacenter Networks. "The result? A resounding cry to move to Ethernet. It looked like the respondees were going to triple their investment over the next several years."

Optimum Lightpath is already partnering with data center service providers such as Blue Hill Data Services, Inc. -- a BPO Management Services Company, Cervalis, Continuity Centers, Data Storage Corporation, mindSHIFT Technologies and Xand. Testimonials can be viewed at: http://www.optimumlightpath.com/ourApproach_testimonials.shtml.

"The most complicated part of delivering the remote data center solutions that Cervalis offers to the marketplace is getting and staying connected. The high reliability and availability of Optimum Lightpath's point-to-point Ethernet connectivity solution is essential to our business," said Mike Boccardi, president and CEO, Cervalis. "By partnering with Optimum Lightpath we can now access the more than 2,800 lit buildings its network touches in the tri-state area, which has effectively opened the door to additional customers; that's a significant value add to Cervalis. We look forward to continuing to work with Optimum Lightpath's Data Center Connectivity Services."

Together, these applications are forecast to help drive the global aesthetic market from $8.4 billion in 2007 to more than $15 billion by 2011(1). We expect that our continued focus on innovation will enable Cynosure to remain at the forefront of this high-growth market."

"The EU represents the next phase of our multi-pronged strategy to expand the geographic reach of our Smartlipo technology," Davin said. "Smartlipo MPX training for our European subsidiaries is already underway, and they are eager to introduce the product in their markets. This rollout will be followed by a targeted launch in select countries in the Middle East, as well as ongoing submissions for regulatory approvals in the Asia Pacific region."

TiVo Teams Up With Amazon to Provide TV Advertisers Ability to Enable On-Screen Product Purchasing With the Remote on Any Network, During Any ShowConsumers will be able to find and purchase products sold on Amazon.com directly from their television without missing a second of programming

ALVISO, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TiVo Inc. , the creator of and a leader in advertising solutions and television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), today announced they have teamed up with Amazon to provide consumers with the ability to purchase physical products from Amazon.com on their TV sets, using their TiVo remote control. With this new Product Purchase feature, television advertisers will have the unique ability to market products sold through Amazon.com on any broadcast or cable network, any TV show, or via any of TiVo's extensive interactive advertising features.

"Product Purchase adds a whole new dimension to the TV viewing experience," said Evan Young, Director of Broadband Services for TiVo Inc. "By teaming with Amazon.com, TiVo enables viewers to purchase products related to their favorite TV shows or that they've seen in TV ads without leaving their couch. For example, if a guest on the Daily Show or Oprah has a new book, CD, or DVD out, you can purchase it on Amazon.com using your TiVo remote without missing a second of TV, whether the viewer is watching live or recorded. The viewer with an impulse can buy right away and no longer needs to remember to do so the next time they are at their PC. Television advertisers and consumer products companies are no longer limited to the traditional linear shopping channels that require live viewing for product merchandising and fulfillment -- if their product is seen or advertised on any TV show or network, and sold by Amazon.com it can be merchandised to viewers through TiVo."

Consumers will also be able to use TiVo's Universal Swivel Search to easily explore and buy products associated with their favorite shows, movies, actors, and directors, directly from the television set using their TiVo remote. Upon selecting a product users will have the option to complete the purchase immediately or add it to their Amazon.com shopping cart for later checkout. Shipping and tax, if applicable, will be automatically calculated and presented to the user before final confirmation, and purchases will be secured with a PIN associated with the user's Amazon.com account. In addition, television advertisers will be able to merchandise specific products through TiVo advertising features such as Interactive Tags, Gold Star Sponsorships, and Program Placement.

Scott Merlino, senior manager of business development at Amazon.com, said, "Teaming up with TiVo enables TV advertisers to break free of traditional shopping channel limitations and reach a specific, targeted audience regardless of which network or show they are watching. Now, a record label can merchandise and sell a new artist's CD on a show where the music is featured, or a publisher can merchandise an author's book during a talk show when the author appears as a guest -- the marketing possibilities are endless. Teaming up with TiVo is a great way to engage consumers during a TV program with a direct connection to the product being sold."

TiVo's interactive advertising solutions allow advertisers to reach consumers in a time-shifted world and offer the option of taking a closer look at the products that interest them. TiVo's Program Placement feature enables advertisers to target viewers with related products via specific shows and genres. Interactive Tags enhance traditional commercials and make them actionable, allowing consumers to get additional information or take advantage of unique offers while automatically pausing their program.

All purchases made from Amazon.com using TiVo's Product Purchase feature come with Amazon.com's trusted reputation for superior customer service and are delivered directly to the consumer's preset delivery address.

Starting today, TiVo will launch the new service to consumers by merchandising products related to several high profile shows, including but not limited to The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Colbert Report, and Burn Notice. Broadband-connected Series2(TM) Series3(TM) and TiVo HD DVRs will be able to take advantage of this new feature.

ACS Launches Computer-Aided Dispatch System to Improve Emergency Response for Oklahoma City Residents

DALLAS, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) has successfully launched a new state-of-the-art "911" dispatching and mobile data system for Oklahoma City Police and Fire Departments to improve each agency's response during an emergency, and provides advanced features to enhance first responder safety.

Featuring new GPS equipment and software applications installed in police and fire vehicles, the new integrated dispatch system supports map-based displays of originating locations for emergency calls from wireless callers, and allows dispatchers to assign incidents to the appropriate and often closest first responder.

"Developing and installing a complex public safety system such as this is a large undertaking that involves several city departments and a number of service, supply and software contractors," said Mark Meier, Information Technology Director for the City of Oklahoma City. "We are very pleased with ACS' continuing commitment and the success of this project."

The new system, which went live last month, replaces a 20-year-old dispatch system and provides more features and functions that take advantage of the city's year-old wireless broadband network that spans more than 550 square miles in Oklahoma City with 95 percent coverage within the urban area. This network, also provided by ACS, is the largest public safety Wi-Fi network in the country.

"The city's new broadband wireless mesh network developed as part of the Public Safety Capital Projects has been in production nearly a year now and has provided new capabilities; however, the new dispatch and mobile data applications really make use of the network's bandwidth and enhance the police and fire officers' mobile capabilities," said Kerry R. Wagnon, Public Safety Program Manager for the City of Oklahoma City.

Approximately 750 local police and 100 fire vehicles were equipped with the integrated "911" system, and more than 1,000 police; 600 firefighters; and 150 dispatchers were trained to use the new system.

"This emergency management system will not only enhance response in Oklahoma City but it will also help to improve officer safety and operational efficiency," said Louis Schiavone, ACS Vice President of Public Safety and Justice Systems. "This launch is just the first step in ACS' continued commitment to developing innovative public safety solutions for police, fire and EMS departments across the country."

For Oklahoma City, ACS provided dispatch and mobile software from TriTech Software Systems of San Diego, Calif., a leading supplier of public safety software solutions.

In addition to public safety systems' integration services, ACS also provides FireHouse(R) records and mobile systems for state and local agencies' fire and EMS applications, and AgileCourt(R) court management solutions in support of criminal justice systems nationwide.

Plaintree Systems Inc. releases 2008 fiscal results

OTTAWA, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Plaintree Systems Inc. ("Plaintree" or "Company") announced today that it has released its audited financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the year ended March 31, 2008. Management services revenue decreased by $1,015,150 from $2,014,500 in 2007 to $999,350 in 2008 as the Company's management dedicated its time to the acquisition process of the Triodetic group of companies and Hypernetics Limited ("Hypernetics") which took place on April 1, 2008.

The net income for fiscal 2008 was $70,453 as compared to $969,752 for fiscal 2007. The primary contributing factors to the decreased income was the decline in management consulting fees that are determined at the discretion of the related parties and the increased legal and accounting fees associated with the acquisitions.

Earnings per share were $0.00 in 2008 compared to $0.01 in 2007.

Cash generated by the Company in operating activities decreased from $16,555 in 2007 to $7,057 in 2008.

"The previously announced acquisitions by Plaintree of Hypernetics and the Triodetic group of companies were a huge step for the Company", said David Watson, CEO. "We have decided that the best path for the company was to diversify beyond the telecom world. The addition of an avionics and structural steel company, both with revenue streams, should help towards establishing the viability of this Company".

Further information regarding Plaintree's fiscal 2008 results can be found by examining the Company's 2008 annual report and management discussions and analysis report for the year ended March 31, 2008, both located on the Company's website at http://www.plaintree.com/ or on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com/ by searching "Plaintree Systems Inc.".

Autodesk Announces New Products to Help Utilities Improve Network Design and ManagementAutodesk Utility Design 2009 Software and Autodesk Topobase 2009 Software Help Utilities Enhance Efficiency and Data Quality

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc. , a leader of design innovation software and technologies, today announced new releases of two products to help improve network design and management for the utilities industry: Autodesk Utility Design (AUD) 2009 software and Autodesk Topobase 2009 software. These products will help utilities design their networks more efficiently and integrate precision as-built information into their processes.

"Trends today in the utilities industry -- including intelligent grid and sustainability initiatives -- drive the need for more complex design projects and better access to accurate and precise network information," said Lisa Campbell, vice president, Autodesk Geospatial. "By improving design processes and integrating network design and asset management, Autodesk helps utilities to improve efficiency and data quality throughout the lifecycle of their assets."

What's New in Autodesk Utility Design 2009 Software

Autodesk Utility Design 2009 software helps utilities more quickly and accurately design, engineer, estimate costs and order materials for distribution networks. It streamlines the design process with true rules-based automation-integrating the creation of construction drawings, performing engineering calculations to size facilities, and linking to materials management systems to create the correct materials orders for new facilities. The new version is built on AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 software, the leading software for creating and managing spatial data, and includes enhanced engineering calculations.

"Autodesk Utility Design enables our designers and engineers to produce standards-based layouts, material orders, project estimates and reports.

MIMA Cancer Center Becomes First in World to Treat Soft Tissue Carcinoma With Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Using RapidArc(TM) Radiotherapy TechnologyNovel image-guided treatment completed in just five minutes a day for five days

MELBOURNE, Fla., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Doctors at Melbourne Internal Medical Associates (MIMA) Cancer Center have become the first in Florida to treat cancer using RapidArc(TM) radiotherapy technology from Varian Medical Systems . They are also the first in the world to use this technology to deliver stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the treatment of soft tissue carcinoma.

A 72-year-old man with Merkel cell carcinoma was treated for a soft tissue tumor in his thigh, which had developed close to where a similar tumor had been treated with conventional radiotherapy six months earlier.

"In this case, it was important that we avoid exposing the previously-treated area to any additional radiation," said Todd Scarbrough, M.D., radiation oncologist and director of the MIMA Cancer Center. "Using RapidArc, we completed each of his treatment sessions in just five minutes, including imaging and treatment. In the past, using conventional IMRT, this type of treatment would have required 30 minutes per session to complete."

RapidArc makes it possible to quickly deliver an advanced image-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment with one 360 degree rotation of the treatment machine around the patient. In this case, however, Scarbrough and his team designed a treatment that was delivered with just half a rotation around the patient.

"The tumor was near the surface of his thigh, so a full arc would have exposed too much of his normal leg to the treatment beam," Scarbrough said.

Scarbrough's team planned the RapidArc treatment using Varian's Eclipse(TM) treatment planning software, which allowed them to visualize how the dose would be distributed within the patient's leg. "The RapidArc plan gave us a dose distribution that was superior to what we could have achieved with traditional IMRT," Scarbrough said. "Eclipse made it easy to create a plan that would avoid the previously-irradiated tissues. We just superimposed the dose distribution from his earlier treatments onto the new CT scans, created a structure out of that area, and instructed the software to avoid it as if it were a critical organ. It was very easy to do."

Stereotactic body radiotherapy involves delivering higher-than-usual doses of radiation to a tumor over a shorter-than-usual timeframe. It requires great accuracy and precision, both in terms of targeting and in terms of beam shaping, to minimize the exposure of surrounding tissues. MIMA's RapidArc protocol achieves the necessary level of precision. 3-D X-ray images of the targeted area are used to fine-tune patient positioning prior to each treatment. Then, as the treatment machine rotates around the patient, the treatment beam is continually shaped and reshaped to match the dimensions of the tumor.

"Any time you have a spherical lesion that is deep within the body, and you want to deliver a high dose, RapidArc is going to be the ideal way to treat," Scarbrough said. "Our plan is to use RapidArc any time the treatment plan gives us a dose distribution that is equal to or better than what we can get with standard IMRT, because RapidArc is so much faster. And that's much better for our patients." Scarbrough's team is now working on RapidArc treatment plans for a prostate and a lung cancer case scheduled to begin treatment later this month.

The American Cancer Society estimates that, in the United States this year, doctors will diagnose 1,437,180 new cancer cases; over 100,000 will occur in the state of Florida.

Hoku Solar and Suntech Power Complete Solar Installation for One of Hawaii's Largest Beverage Distributors

KAPOLEI, Hawaii and SAN FRANCISCO, July 22 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Hoku Solar, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hoku Scientific, Inc. and designer, engineer and installer of photovoltaic (PV) power systems, and Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., one of the world's leading manufacturers of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, today announced the completion of a 254-kilowatt PV solar power system at the Oahu warehouse and distribution headquarters of Paradise Beverages, Inc. The system uses more than 1,540 individual Suntech modules to produce an estimated 525,000 kilowatt-hours of clean solar power each year. It is the third of three solar projects totaling 358kw of power the Hoku-Suntech team have implemented for Paradise Beverages.

Hoku Scientific and Suntech work together at multiple points in the solar supply chain. In Hawaii, Hoku deploys Suntech modules for many of its commercial installations, while Suntech has engaged Hoku to supply it with solar-grade polysilicon from its planned production facility in Pocatello, Idaho.

''This was another successful project for Hoku Solar and a great example of our partnership-driven approach," said Dustin Shindo, chief executive officer of Hoku Scientific. ''Not only was it Hoku's largest PV installation to date, but it was an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with Suntech. Hoku takes pride in its partnership-driven approach and is pleased to be able to leverage our global solar industry partnerships for the benefit of our clients here at home.''

''These installations are among the first large-scale deployments of Suntech solar modules in Hawaii,'' said Roger Efird, President of Suntech America. ''With abundant sunlight, Hawaii is an ideal location for generating solar energy and is already home to a quickly growing solar market. We are very pleased to be partnering with Hoku Solar to bring the benefits of solar to the people of Hawaii and its beautiful environment.''
