eService Extends Use of Postilion to Improve Merchant Acquiring ServicePostilion to provide integrated settlement, chargeback, and reporting across eService's merchant acquiring estate

LONDON and NORCROSS, Ga., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Postilion, a leading provider of software solutions for self-service banking and payments and a division of S1 Corporation , today announced that eService S.A., the wholly-owned acquiring arm of Poland's largest retail bank, PKO Bank Polski S.A., has chosen to use additional offerings from Postilion's Merchant Acquiring solution. Postilion will replace an existing competitive back-office system to provide back-office processing including settlement, management reporting, and chargeback handling.

"eService has grown its POS footprint rapidly over the past few years and we required a transaction management platform that would provide the settlement services and reporting information that our business needed," said Maciej Maciejewski, Technology and Research Department Director, eService. "The new Postilion functionality integrates seamlessly with our existing Postilion platform, and we expect to gain operational cost savings by introducing it."

"Managing a large POS estate requires complex back-office settlement processes to be employed which can be complicated by the regular mandates introduced by the card associations," said Grant Wyatt, General Manager for Postilion in Europe.

TSMC Adds New High Voltage Features to Advanced 0.13-micron Processes Aimed at High Resolution Display Drivers

HSIN-CHU, Taiwan, November 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- Greener display driver ICs anticipated

TSMC (TSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) has enhanced its 0.13um process technology with immediate availability of a 1.5/6/32V technology, targeted at high resolution mobile handset display drivers.

The high-yield process features an Aluminum Copper (AlCu) backend metal scheme and is designed to meet energy reduction targets, while responding to the market's demand for smaller line width options, reducing die size in next-generation high-resolution display driver ICs.

The growing popularity of mobile TV and Internet browsing demands a new generation of portable displays that feature high resolution and excellent power performance. The new 1.5/6/32V technology cuts die size requirements for new high-resolution mobile handset display drivers, while providing the high drive voltages required at the smaller 0.13um geometry.

TSMC's new process is particularly compact and provides the smallest SRAM bit cell of any commercial foundry, at no compromise to speed and stand-by power. It also adds the necessary core voltage under-drive range, at 1.2V, to meet the most stringent green panel requirements. Furthermore, innovative new fuse implementations simplify display optimization and matching during production testing.

About TSMC

TSMC is the world's largest dedicated semiconductor foundry, providing the industry's leading process technology and the foundry's largest portfolio of process-proven libraries, IP, design tools and reference flows. The Company's total managed capacity in 2008 is to exceed nine million (8-inch equivalent) wafers, including capacity from two advanced 12-inch Gigafabs, four eight-inch fabs, one six-inch fab, as well as TSMC's wholly owned subsidiaries, WaferTech and TSMC (Shanghai), and its joint venture fab, SSMC. TSMC is the first foundry to provide 40nm production capabilities. Its corporate headquarters are in Hsinchu, Taiwan. For more information about TSMC please see http://www.tsmc.com.

Compuware Covisint to Securely Connect, Integrate Michigan's Thumb Health Information SystemCovisint to Link Hospitals in Michigan's "Thumb" Area, Enabling Faster Clinical Decision-making and Improving Healthcare Delivery, Costs

DETROIT, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation today announced that its Covisint subsidiary will electronically connect hospitals in Michigan's "thumb" region, now called Michigan Thumb Health Information System (THIS). The Covisint solution will enable the secure sharing of patient information electronically, demonstrating how critical-care access hospitals--and the hospitals to which they transfer patients--use technology to deliver better care.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080605/CLTH112LOGO )

Participating THIS hospitals will initially include Deckerville Community Hospital, Harbor Beach Community Hospital and Mercy Hospital-Port Huron, but the scope of this initiative is intended to more than double--growing to several other critical access and tertiary hospitals in the region. Additionally, THIS has been "scalably" designed, meaning that the network will be expanded to later include access to and from other regional healthcare systems.

"Physicians and hospitals together face a common goal: providing the best care to the patient," said Ed Gamache, CEO Deckerville and Harbor Beach Community Hospitals. "It's a bonus when the best way to provide the best care is also the most efficient and effective way. Covisint enables physicians, healthcare systems and even healthcare regions to achieve a new level of integration and an outstanding level of care while reassuring patients that their information is safe, secure and accessible."

Different healthcare systems often use different technologies, meaning that providers also must view patient information on unfamiliar screens. These translation challenges can cause confusion, delays and other problems in delivering quality patient care in a timely fashion. Covisint addresses this, enabling access to each hospital's electronic medical records that translate clinical and administrative patient information from multiple systems into a single and familiar view. This is particularly important for patients being transferred between hospitals, as in the case of Michigan Thumb Health Information System. These hospitals have the option to simply view the patient's information or to store it into their own electronic medical record (EMR), and physicians will be able to easily print desired information.

"Covisint is technology-neutral, which is key to integrating multiple technologies with multiple healthcare systems regardless of size--rural, metropolitan or otherwise," said Brett Furst, Covisint Vice President of Healthcare. "This partnership shares real-time patient information and positions these hospitals with fingertip access to the latest data they need to do their jobs successfully."

Covisint also recently announced partnerships electronically connecting physicians to healthcare information in Michigan, as well as statewide backbones in Minnesota and Tennessee. These partnerships improve the delivery, security and efficiency of healthcare information as society moves toward reducing the burden and inefficiencies associated with paper-based systems, which, according to many estimates, still account for approximately 75 percent of all recorded healthcare data.

Covisint's on-demand collaboration platform helps virtual communities securely access, use and share time sensitive information. Covisint solves business problems by streamlining and automating processes globally-- connecting state and nationally based communities, organizations and systems in the healthcare, automotive and financial services industries, as well as the public sector.

Compuware Corporation makes IT rock around the world, helping CIOs optimize IT performance to achieve business goals. Compuware solutions accelerate the development, improve the quality and enhance the performance of critical business systems while enabling CIOs to align and govern the entire IT portfolio, increasing efficiency, cost control and employee productivity throughout the IT organization.

Stream Communications Reports Stream Poland Acquisition of Homenet

WARSAW, Poland, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stream Communications Network & Media Inc. (the Company or Stream Communications) (Pink Sheets: SCNWF) announced today that Stream Communications Sp z o.o. (Stream Poland), controlled by Stream Communications and Penta Investments ("Penta"), has closed the acquisition of Internet provider Homenet Technologies Sp z o.o. ("Homenet") with a network located in Gdansk, Poland, for PLN 9,000,000.

As of June 30, 2008, Homenet had 5,850 Revenue Generating Units (RGUs), that include Internet, VoIP, and AV (Analog Video) subscribers. The number of Homenet RGUs will be verified by the end of November 2008, and the transaction price could be adjusted accordingly, if needed.

Homenet earned revenues of PLN 1.5 million for the first six months of 2008.

The transaction with Homenet was financed from the proceeds received by Stream Poland from Cyfoca (a subsidiary of Penta) in the form of a loan which will be later converted into shares in Stream Poland in the following manner:

1. Penta Investment subsidiary Cyfoca entered into a Master Loan Agreement with Stream Poland for up to PLN 126 million. Loans are granted based on loan applications for individual acquisitions each time funds are needed, until March 31, 2009. The terms of the loans are as follows: interest 3M WIBOR + Margin 0.75% and a loan period up to 12 months. 2. Because the share registration process in Poland is lengthy, the Master Loan Agreement permits Stream Poland to make acquisitions in shorter time frames, while still enabling Penta to receive the agreed upon Stream Poland equity. Conversion of the loans into Stream Poland equity will be made under the previously disclosed conditions set out in Phase two of the Stream Communications-Penta agreement.

Jan Rynkiewicz, president & CEO of Stream stated, "The acquisition of Homenet increases Stream Poland's subscriber base and strengthens its market position in Northern Poland, where on June 12, 2008 we announced that Stream Poland had secured an acquisition of a cable and internet service provider of approximately 19,000 RGUs.

As we have said in the past, our goal is to increase Stream Poland's subscriber base and strengthen its market position in the areas where Stream Poland competes. With the Homenet acquisition, Stream Poland is building a cluster of acquisitions in Northern Poland to continue to benefit from this strategy."

About Stream Communications

Stream Communications is a broadband cable company that offers cable TV, high-speed Internet and VoIP services in Poland. Stream Communications, together with Penta Investments, controls the 7th largest cable operator in Poland, Stream Communications Sp z o.o., focusing on the densely populated markets of Southern Poland. Via its wholly owned subsidiary Stream Investments Sp z o.o., Stream Communications is developing greenfield projects in the cable sector in Poland.

Honeywell Wins First Production Contract for Its T-Hawk(TM) Micro Air VehicleProduction Contract Valued at $65 MillionUnmanned Aerial Vehicle Provides 'Eye in the Sky' and Real-Time Data

PHOENIX, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Honeywell announced today that it has received a $65 million production contract for its Micro Air Vehicle, known as the T-Hawk(TM).

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081104/LATU521) (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080425/LAF040LOGO)

The $65 million agreement is for 90 T-Hawk(TM) systems. Each system consists of two T-Hawk(TM) vehicles and one ground control unit, spares, training for operators and maintainers, and field support. Hardware deliveries of the 90 systems will begin in the second quarter of 2009 and conclude in December 2009.

Each T-Hawk(TM) is small enough to carry in a backpack and is equipped with video cameras that relay information back to foot soldiers using a portable handheld terminal. The circular vehicle, weighing 17 pounds and 14 inches in diameter, can easily fly down to inspect hazardous areas for threats without exposing warfighters to enemy fire. Honeywell's T-Hawk(TM) also has the unique ability to take off and land vertically from complex desert and urban terrains without using runways or helipads.

"Honeywell's versatile and highly capable T-Hawk(TM) will help our warfighters conduct more effective missions while keeping them out of harm's way," said Ed Wheeler, President, Honeywell Defense and Space. "Our T-Hawk(TM) delivers more than 40 minutes of flight endurance, more than 40 knots of airspeed and will operate to altitudes of more than 7,000 feet."

The system has been deployed in Iraq to keep American troops safer by identifying enemy threats from the sky. The deployment is the first time a ducted-fan unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been used during combat missions.

"Honeywell has unsurpassed experience in developing ducted-fan vertical takeoff and landing unmanned air vehicles," Wheeler said. "Our highly precise controls allow the T-Hawk(TM) to operate at very high altitudes or just inches from the ground, providing unprecedented hover and stare capabilities for enemy detection or other missions in war zones."

The system requires minimal operator training and includes two airborne vehicles and a portable ground station used to guide the aircraft and receive images from the cameras. The ground station can be used to program a flight path for the T-Hawk(TM) or control it manually. The aircraft also can be optionally equipped with electro-optical cameras for daylight operations or infrared cameras for night missions.

A civilian version of this technology is being evaluated by the Miami Dade Police Department for law enforcement applications.

Oregon School Districts Graduate to Remote Data BackupClackamas ESD Leverages EMC Data De-Duplication Technologies Enabling Backups to Be Performed in Minutes Compared to Hours

HOPKINTON, Mass., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMC Corporation , the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced that Clackamas Education Service District (ESD), a state-funded agency providing centralized educational programs and services, has introduced remote data backup services to 10 school districts in Clackamas County, Oregon.

"We provide schools and local agencies with services that may not be affordable on an individual basis, but become more feasible when the cost is shared," said Gary Scheel, Network Services Coordinator, Clackamas ESD. "One application that benefits from this model is remote data backup. As schools accumulate more data and put additional functions online, there is growing need for a high-quality backup solution and backing up to tape or CD is no longer reliable or efficient enough."

Working with EMC Global Services to design and implement an EMC information infrastructure for its remote data backup service, Clackamas ESD chose the EMC Avamar(R) backup and recovery solution. The Avamar solution enables the schools to automatically identify and remove redundant data from the backup process before sending it over the network to Avamar Data Stores located at Clackamas ESD's datacenter. Clackamas ESD estimates incremental backups now take less than an hour and frequent full backups are no longer required.

"EMC Avamar is a complete solution that had all the pieces we needed," said Scheel. "The school districts are on tight budgets so they can only afford networks with limited bandwidth. With built-in data de-duplication technology, the school now uses less network bandwidth, has sped up the backup process and has reduced the amount of storage needed in the datacenter."

In addition to the remote backup service, Clackamas ESD uses EMC CLARiiON(R) systems to store data for its Oracle-based electronic student information system (eSIS), which enables teachers and administrators to use a Web portal for communicating with students and parents and facilitating internal functions such as attendance, class scheduling, grading and student information. The CLARiiON information infrastructure also stores data for a Microsoft Windows file server and financial document imaging application.

"I've been very impressed with the thoroughness of EMC Global Services," said Scheel. "They asked the right questions, captured extensive information about our requirements and then applied it throughout the process. The result was that we got a very high-quality implementation that was on time and on budget. And because EMC worked side-by-side with our staff, we essentially received some advanced training in storage area networks and backup and recovery technologies."

Scheel added, "The EMC products are very solid. Once they're in and configured, we don't have to play with them. They just work. With clients on tight budgets, any opportunity to save staff time on tweaking or repairing systems translates into a cost savings for the organizations we serve. When it comes to EMC, there's a high confidence level all around."
