comScore Reports First Quarter 2009 ResultsFirst quarter revenue of $30.6 million increased 16% from prior year

RESTON, Va., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- comScore, Inc. , a leader in measuring the digital world, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2009.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080115/COMSCORELOGO)

Revenue in the first quarter was $30.6 million, up 16% from the first quarter of 2008, and subscription revenues increased by 23% over the same period. GAAP net income was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $2.5 million or $0.08 per diluted share, a year ago. Net income in the first quarter was negatively impacted by a higher-than-anticipated non-cash effective tax rate due primarily to the tax treatment of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards that vested during the quarter. The company's cash tax rate was a 5.1% benefit for the first quarter. The Company continues to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards to reduce cash taxes. Non-GAAP net income was $4.2 million, or $0.14 per share, well above the previously announced guidance range of $2.6 to $3.1 million, while adjusted EBITDA was $5.4 million in the first quarter, also above the guidance range of $3.8 to $4.3 million.

Magid Abraham, comScore's President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are pleased to report first quarter revenue at the upper end of our expected range, considering the overall economic environment. We had particular strength internationally, as we continue to penetrate newer markets, and domestically in selected industry verticals such as telecommunications, consumer packaged goods, and pharmaceuticals. Our contract renewal rate continued to exceed 90% on a dollar basis. As anticipated, we continue to experience higher levels of attrition among our smallest customers, but this was largely offset by continued strong renewal activity at medium and large customers, consistent with our experience in prior quarters. We also experienced lower-than-expected project revenue due to increased economic pressure on our customers' discretionary budgets. Operationally, we performed very well, and our profitability performance reflects our efforts to implement additional cost controls. We are also investing in new products and technologies expected to drive long-term growth, while at the same time driving efficiencies in our cost structure to achieve our margin goals for full year 2009."

First Quarter 2009 Financial and Business Summary (dollars in millions, except per share data) 1Q09 1Q08 Change Revenue $30.6 $26.4 16% GAAP Net Income $0.3 $2.5 -89% GAAP EPS $0.01 $0.08 Adjusted EBITDA* $5.4 $5.6 -3% Adjusted EBITDA Margin* 18% 21% Non-GAAP Net Income* $4.2 $5.3 -22% Non-GAAP EPS* $0.14 $0.18 Operating Cash Flow $2.2 $10.3 -78% Free Cash Flow* ($0.6) $6.7 Deferred Revenue $44.0 $42.8 3% Subscription Revenue $26.5 $21.5 23% Project Revenue $4.1 $4.9 -16% Existing Customer Revenue $26.8 $22.1 21% New Customer Revenue $3.8 $4.3 -12% International Revenue $4.6 $3.4 35% Customer Count 1,181 948 *A complete reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is set forth in the attachment to this press release.

Reflected in GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2009 is an effective tax rate of 80.9% percent, including a cash tax benefit of 5.1%. The effective tax rate was negatively impacted by a write-off of deferred tax assets associated with restricted stock awards prompted by the decline in our stock price from the date of grant to the vesting date during the first quarter. Because of this, the tax-basis compensation expense recorded for these awards upon vesting was substantially less than the GAAP-basis expense, which created taxable income that was greater than GAAP income before income taxes and a correspondingly higher effective tax rate. The company continued to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards to reduce cash taxes and expects to continue to do so as permitted in future periods.

Financial Outlook

Magid Abraham, comScore's president and chief executive officer said, "We continue to anticipate that our healthy renewal rate, the addition of new customers, and international expansion will drive our top-line growth in 2009. However, due to the impact of macro-economic conditions on our customers, including lower than expected project revenues, we now anticipate revenue growth of 10% to 12% for the full year 2009. While the volatile economic environment makes it challenging to provide a long-term outlook, we have taken cost containment actions that we anticipate will result in approximately $9.8 million in annualized savings that should allow us to maintain our commitment to deliver an adjusted EBITDA margin in 2009 consistent with our 2008 performance, while we continue to invest in our strategic priorities and manage this company for the long term."

Abraham continued, "Our strong revenue and subscription growth in the economically challenging first quarter environment demonstrated the resiliency of the comScore business model. I am confident in our ability to leverage our competitive positions and our existing and forthcoming product suite to emerge as a stronger company with excellent revenue visibility and profitability."

comScore's expectations for the second quarter 2009 are outlined in the table below*:

(dollars in millions, except per share data) Revenue $30.8 - $31.3 million Income before income taxes $1.0 - $1.4 million Adjusted EBITDA $5.5 - $6.1 million Estimated diluted shares 30.8 million *A complete reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is set forth in the attachment to this press release.

Due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income, such as tax rates and stock price, comScore is unable to provide a complete reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts. However, a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to income before income taxes is set forth in the attachment to this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

comScore reports all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). comScore believes, however, that evaluating its ongoing operating results will be enhanced if it also discloses certain non-GAAP information because it is useful to understand comScore's performance, as it excludes non-cash and other special charges that many investors believe may obscure comScore's on-going operating results.

For example, comScore uses non-GAAP net income, which excludes stock-based compensation, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the non-cash, deferred tax provision. comScore also reports non-GAAP EPS (diluted), which uses non-GAAP net income in lieu of GAAP net income in calculating earnings per share.

In addition, comScore believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for investors to use to evaluate its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA comprises non-GAAP net income further adjusted to exclude the cash tax provision, depreciation and interest income (expenses), net. A reconciliation of comScore's GAAP results to these non-GAAP measures is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.

The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the company's operational strength and the performance of its business because it provides a link between profitability and operating cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA is also widely used by investors and analysts as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in comScore's industry. comScore's management also uses Adjusted EBITDA extensively as a measure of operating performance because it does not include the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations. Moreover, the company's management uses the measure for planning purposes, to allocate resources and to evaluate the effectiveness of the company's business strategies and management's performance.

The company believes that excluding non-recurring costs from non-GAAP net income and EPS and from Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful indication to investors of the expected on-going operating performance of the company. Specifically as it relates to acquisitions, the exclusion of the non-recurring costs reflects the expected benefits realized or to be realized upon the integration of acquired entities into comScore.

comScore's management also uses free cash flow as a non-GAAP measure of the company's operating cash flow less cash expenditures for capital spending as a key indicator of the company's operating cash flow performance net of capital outlays.

Whenever comScore uses such historical non-GAAP financial measures, it provides a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure included in the financial tables accompanying this release. Although the company provides a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income, such as tax rates and stock price, comScore is unable to provide a complete reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts. However, a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to income before income taxes is set forth in the attachment to this press release.

Cautionary Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, comScore's expectations regarding the continued growth of its customer base; expectations regarding customer renewal rates, particularly with respect to different sizes and types of customers; expectations regarding penetrating new markets, particularly with respect to international expansion; expectations regarding its strength and success in industry verticals such as telecommunications, consumer packaged goods, and pharmaceuticals; expectations regarding the potential benefits of development and investment in new products and technologies and the resulting financial benefits; assumptions and expectations regarding effective tax rates and the use and availability of net operating loss carry-forwards; expectations regarding the outcome of cost containment measures and the resulting effect on comScore's margins and strategic priorities; expectations and forecasts of future financial performance, including related growth rates and components thereof; assumptions related to costs and revenue growth for the second quarter and the full year 2009; and assumptions related to the state of the economy and the global market environment.

We also believe inclusion of this measure will enhance comparability of our results to results of our competitors and to the analysts' forecasts because the analysts continue to forecast excluding the effect of share-based payment charge, the non-GAAP measure. In addition, our management uses this measure to evaluate our operating performance and compare our results to our competitors. Management also uses this measure as a metric to measure performance under our executive compensation program. The Company notes that non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Instead, they are based on subjective determinations by management designed to supplement our GAAP financial measures. They are subject to a number of important limitations and should be considered only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Among the limitations on the use of the non-GAAP measure are the following: - The exclusion of non-cash share-based payment charges can have a significant impact on reported GAAP net income and diluted net income per share. - Other companies may utilize non-cash share-based payments to a significantly greater or lesser degree in relation to overall compensation than MICROS. - Other companies may calculate non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share differently than MICROS does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Peerless Systems Announces Fiscal 2009 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year ResultsSelected Highlights:- Fourth quarter operating income was $0.4 million before $1.4 million restructuring expense- Operating expenses significantly reduced as a result of staffing and facilities reductions

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Peerless Systems Corporation , a licensor of imaging and networking technologies to the digital document market, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

Fourth Quarter Results

Fourth quarter revenues were $2.2 million, versus $9.3 million in the fourth quarter last year and $1.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Product licensing revenue was $2.0 million, versus $6.4 million in the fourth quarter a year ago and $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Engineering services and maintenance revenue was $0.2 million, versus $2.9 million in the fourth quarter a year ago and $0.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 included $5.0 million of license revenue and $2.2 million of services revenue from Kyocera Mita Corporation ("KMC"). Effective April 30, 2008 (the end of the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2009), the Company sold certain assets and transferred 38 engineers and support staff to KMC. The first quarter of fiscal 2009 included $1.9 million of services revenue from KMC.

Peerless reported a fourth quarter fiscal 2009 net income of $3.9 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, which includes a $4.7 million reduction in estimated income taxes associated with the sale of assets to KMC. Fiscal Year 2008 fourth quarter net income of $8.5 million or $0.49 per basic share and $0.47 per diluted share, included a $5 million income tax benefit resulting from the reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance attributable to the gain realized in the KMC transaction during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company reported a loss of $1.2 million or $0.06 per basic share for the third quarter of the 2009 fiscal year.

Peerless had cash and cash equivalents of $44.7 million as of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, compared with $48.9 million at the end of the previous quarter and $23.1 million at the end of fiscal 2008. The decline in cash and cash equivalents from the last quarter was primarily due to the payment of $2.7 million for lease terminations, $2.0 million in taxes on the gain associated with the KMC transaction recorded in the first quarter and $0.8 million for the share repurchase program implemented at the end of the second fiscal quarter, offset by other smaller changes in working capital. From inception through the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had purchased 1,462,898 shares of common stock for $2,692,058, or an average price of $1.84 per share, under its stock repurchase plan.

Fiscal 2009 full-year results

For the full fiscal year, Peerless reported net income of $17.6 million, or $0.99 per basic share and $0.97 per diluted share, on total revenue of $10.4 million. Peerless realized a gain of $32.9 million on the sale of assets to KMC at the end of the first quarter of the 2009 fiscal year. Fiscal 2008 net income was $10.1 million, or $0.59 per basic share and $0.56 per diluted share, which included a $5 million income tax benefit. Gross margin decreased from 65.2% in fiscal 2008 to 30.3% in fiscal 2009. The primary reason for the decrease was a $2.4 million increase in product licensing expense in fiscal 2009 due to the KMC transaction and the resulting change in mix of technologies available to be delivered against existing block licenses with KMC.

Over the course of fiscal year 2009, operating expenses, excluding restructuring expense of $3.3 million, were reduced 27.8% compared to fiscal 2008, primarily as a result of the KMC transaction. Fiscal year 2009 was affected by the significant professional fees related to the KMC transaction and subsequent restructuring charges. After the transaction, the company reduced its staffing levels by 74%. Additionally, facilities costs were reduced by approximately 95% due to the termination of certain leases at the end of fiscal year 2009.

William Neil, Chief Financial Officer and Acting Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the fourth quarter, we made strides in restructuring our existing business. We have sufficient staffing and leased space to service our existing customer base. We continue to look for additional ways to reduce our operating expenses while meeting the requirements of our customers and the obligations of a public company."

Subsequent Event

During the quarter ended April 30, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement amending a third party technology license agreement. This agreement reduces the liability for technologies licensed by the Company to a customer. As a result of this amendment entered into subsequent to January 31, 2009, the Company reduced the liability for third party licensing costs by approximately $2.7 million in the quarter ended April 30, 2009.

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Peerless also announced today that it will hold its annual meeting of stockholders to elect five directors and approve its independent auditors on Friday, June 5, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The meeting will be held at 2361 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 450, El Segundo, California, 90245. Stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 24, 2009 are entitled to vote at the meeting. Additional information, including details of the business to be conducted at the annual meeting, will be included in the proxy statement to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The proxy statement and the company's 2009 Annual Report to Stockholders are expected to be mailed to such stockholders of record on or about May 7, 2009.

About Peerless Systems Corporation

Founded in 1982, Peerless Systems Corporation historically licensed imaging and networking technologies to the digital document markets, which include manufacturers of color, monochrome and multifunction office products and digital appliances. Effective April 30, 2008, Peerless sold its imaging and networking technologies and certain other assets to KMC.

The first hardware appliance of its kind, WebSphere CloudBurst stores and secures WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition images and patterns to be dispensed into a cloud. WebSphere CloudBurst helps customers easily and quickly develop, test and deploy business applications, ending the use of manual, complex or time-intensive processes associated with creating application environments. Once finished, resources are automatically returned to the shared resource pool and logged for internal charge-back purposes. WebSphere CloudBurst also manages individual user and group access, giving IT managers the right kind of access controls with optimal efficiency rates.

"IBM's WebSphere CloudBurst combines SOA with cloud services that allow our customers to work smarter," said Jim Deters, President of Ascendant Technology. "Our customers are looking for ways to simplify their IT environments and leverage their existing assets. WebSphere CloudBurst will help them deploy and manage SOA in a cloud environment."

These new products incorporate more than 10 years of IBM software management best practices for cost-effective, rapid, and repeatable application deployment. They also fully integrate with development and service management tools from IBM Rational and Tivoli, giving clients the seamless end-to-end support they demand.

The new IBM Rational Automation Framework for WebSphere optimizes configuration and application deployment to customize WebSphere CloudBurst patterns, providing more than 400 field-proven, automated tasks for configuration and application deployment to WebSphere Application Server environments. Using Rational Automation Framework together with WebSphere CloudBurst can improve delivery efficiencies for development, test and production scenarios leading to faster time to market, higher-quality software and rapid return on investment.

In addition, CloudBurst integrates with Tivoli Service Automation Manager to support a more modern dynamic data center and reduces IT operational costs by automating the development and management processes for WebSphere cloud computing environments. Tivoli Service Automation Manager provides the capability to request, fulfill and manage complete software stacks for the data center and complements WebSphere CloudBurst with intelligent, pattern-based deployment and management of WebSphere within a cloud.

For many workloads, including application testing and development, cloud computing delivers compelling economic benefits for clients. IBM Technology Services is supporting this by extending the IBM Implementation Services for Cloud Computing, an on-premise test environment for cloud applications to include services for CloudBurst that allow customers to test applications in a secure environment before going into production.

These offerings come at a time when organizations are facing a complexity and affordability crisis, in which costs to manage and power operations are becoming more expensive than the hardware and software itself. To combat this, IBM has compiled the most complete portfolio of cloud computing software and services for enterprise clients in the industry today, building on its long history in security, virtualization, standards-based innovation and large-scale computing to help clients integrate this new compute model into their enterprises.

"The WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance combines the flexibility of SOA with the adaptability of the cloud," said Tom Rosamilia, general manager of WebSphere at IBM. "It's new capabilities for rapid deployment deliver a fast return on investment to our clients."

As part of its public cloud initiatives, IBM is also announcing BPM BlueWorks, a cloud-based set of strategy and business process tools. BPM BlueWorks provides business users with the collateral they need to implement business strategies within their organizations based on industry-proven business process management techniques.

IBM has a number of initiatives that allow customers to leverage IBM software in a cloud. IBM is working in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. to make IBM software available in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). WebSphere sMash, Informix Dynamic Server, DB2, and WebSphere Portal with Lotus Web Content Management Standard Edition are available today through a "pay as you go" model for both development and production instances. In addition to those products, IBM is also announcing the availability of IBM Mashup Center and Lotus Forms Turbo for development and test use in Amazon EC2, and intends to add WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere eXtreme Scale to these offerings.

With more than 7,000 customer implementations worldwide, IBM is the SOA market leader. This leadership is further illustrated by a thriving community of more than 120,000 architects and developers, 300 SOA-specific technology patents, 2,000 universities advancing the SOA curriculum, and 7,420 Business Partners building SOA skills, solutions and practices.

The WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance and WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition are available in the second quarter of 2009. For information, please visit: http://www.ibm.com/cloudburst

Verizon Internet Security Suite Adds Wi-Fi Security, Advance Protection for Broadband CustomersNew Capabilities Position Award-Winning Verizon Software as One of Most Comprehensive Internet Security Suites on the Market

NEW YORK, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Internet Security Suite (VISS) subscribers can now take advantage of enhanced security options for their home PCs with the addition of Wi-Fi Security and Advance Protection features to the popular online protection service.

The addition of the new capabilities -- at no additional charge -- to the award-winning VISS service reinforces its value as one of the most comprehensive Internet security services on the market today. The service is available to Verizon FiOS Internet and Verizon High Speed Internet customers, as well as other broadband users.

The new Wi-Fi Security feature helps protect subscribers from hackers, eavesdroppers and other security threats associated with unsecured wireless networks and hot spots. When connecting to a wireless network, the service displays an alert if a network is unencrypted and, by providing simple how-to instructions, encourages users to set up encryption. When subscribers use public hot spots, Wi-Fi security can automatically turn off network discovery and sharing for increased security.

The new Advance Protection feature defends users against malicious programs by monitoring a computer's behavior. The service boosts protection with continuous searches for malware and monitoring of suspicious activities on the computer. VISS then uses deep-cleaning capabilities to remove the harmful items.

"As computer threats constantly evolve and change, it's crucial that our broadband subscribers continually have the most up-to-date security software to ensure the maximum protection for their PCs," said Bill Heilig, vice president of Verizon Broadband Solutions. "Adding Wi-Fi Security and Advance Protection to VISS is part of our ongoing commitment to our subscribers to ensure they have the best and most secure home-computing experience possible."

New subscribers to VISS will receive the additional Wi-Fi Security and Advance Protection services immediately, while existing VISS subscribers will have the ability to automatically upgrade on May 7. They can also download the feature right away by going to http://www.verizon.net/myaccount and clicking on "Manage My Broadband Essentials & Extras" under the "Billing" category.

VISS, which was recognized earlier this month by Info Security Products Guide as one of the best products for Internet security worldwide, also offers as part of its security lineup:

-- Virus Protection: Automatically safeguards customers from viruses, worms and Trojans. Simple to use, it offers automatic scans, updates and quarantines resulting in fewer support calls and a more secure network. -- Spyware Protection: Detects and quarantines spyware before it attacks a PC. The service is automatically configured, updated and maintained. -- Fraud Protection: Combats identity theft attacks and fraudulent campaigns conducted by e-mail, instant messaging (IM), blogs and Web hijacking techniques. -- Firewall: Blocks unauthorized intrusions, malicious hackers and other hostile access attempts from both incoming and outgoing connections, with fully managed, automatically updated and customized firewall rules. -- Parental Controls: A secure, easy-to-use content-filtering program that allows subscribers to prevent their children from accessing inappropriate Internet content. Blocks millions of URLs, and also manages the use of online applications and the amount of time children spend online. -- PC Optimizer: Offers subscribers a superior customer experience and maximized computer and Internet performance. With a full range of disk cleanup and optimization features such as defragmenting files, the service automatically improves system operation on a regular basis. -- Pop-up & Ad Blocker: Helps ensure a faster and less cluttered browsing experience by blocking online ads such as pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, animations and tile ads. -- Privacy Manager: Scans all outgoing communications for sensitive or identifying user information to help prevent its release without consent. It also provides control over how much information Web sites record about browsing habits, as well as a cleanup utility to automatically remove data traces left by browsers and programs.

Among the user-friendly features of VISS is a simplified download process, which sets up the software to operate in the background of a PC to help protect Internet users on several different fronts. In addition, the service updates its security software every three hours to make sure subscribers have the most current security tools to protect them.

All of the security suite coverage is available for a low monthly price of $5.99 from one of the most trusted network and Internet service providers. VISS also is available to Verizon FiOS Internet and Verizon High Speed Internet subscribers as an annual subscription costing $59.99, a 15 percent savings over the month-to-month price.

VISS, which is also available to small-business customers, utilizes advanced technology from Radialpoint, the leading provider of ISP-delivered, managed IT services and support for the digital home.

Cal State Fullerton University and The College of New Jersey Join i2 Collegiate Partner Program73 colleges and universities across U.S. and Canada now part of innovative program to train students on analytical software used by intelligence and law enforcement agencies

MCLEAN, Va., April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- i2 Inc., the leading global provider of visual investigative analysis software for law enforcement, intelligence, military and Fortune 500 organizations, today announced that Cal State Fullerton University and The College of New Jersey have joined the i2 Collegiate Partner Program.

Launched in 2003, i2's Collegiate Partner Program addresses the pervasive need by law enforcement and intelligence organizations for analysts trained on advanced analytical software to thwart sophisticated criminal activity and terrorist networks. Recognizing the budget constraints academic institutions face, the program provides participating universities and colleges with free i2 software (including award-winning i2 Analyst's Notebook(R)), support, and instructor training for use within degree programs relevant to the intelligence and law enforcement communities.

"In today's soft labor market, college graduates who enter the workforce job-ready hold a tremendous competitive advantage relative to their peers," said Bill McGilvery, vice president of i2. "The Collegiate Partner Program continues to see tremendous traction as a growing number of academic institutions recognize the importance of arming students with tangible analytical skills for real-world law enforcement and intelligence applications."

More than 2,000 law enforcement, intelligence, military, government, and private sector organizations worldwide rely on i2's analysis software to access, analyze, and share information within and across agencies. The software provides automation that helps organizations discover otherwise-concealed clues to their investigations by instantly revealing connections, associations, trends, and patterns hidden in data. With the addition of Cal State Fullerton University and The College of New Jersey, the i2 Collegiate Partner Program now comprises 73 universities and colleges; and 9,200 students utilize i2's visual analysis software annually across degree programs including:

-- criminal justice/public safety -- accounting/economic crime -- intelligence/homeland security -- agriculture security -- IT/network security

"We are tremendously grateful to have access to world-class analytical software and training that would not otherwise be possible," said Dr. Chamont Wang, Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, The College of New Jersey. "The i2 Collegiate Partner Program adds a new dimension to our data mining class for numerous applications of fraud detection and crime fighting, better positioning our graduates for employment in today's challenging job market."

In addition to helping students become more marketable to employers and successfully transition to careers in intelligence analysis and law enforcement, the i2 Collegiate Partner Program has benefited participating academic institutions' surrounding communities. Over the past several years local law enforcement and government agencies have tapped classes using i2 software to solve cold cases, conduct economic crime analysis, and perform other analytical support.

"We've been hearing very positive feedback from the four other California State Universities participating in the program, and so far the students in our crime analysis class are enthusiastic about the opportunity to gain skills on analytical software that will make them more marketable after graduation," added William Van Cleve, Professor, Cal State Fullerton University. "By donating millions of dollars of software to the California State University system, i2 is helping to prepare tomorrow's generation of analysts for the complex challenges our nation will face."

About The i2 Collegiate Partner Program

The i2 Collegiate Partner Program provides eligible universities and colleges with free i2 software, support and instructor training for use within degree programs relevant to the intelligence and law enforcement communities, including: criminal justice/public safety, accounting/economic crime, intelligence/homeland security, agriculture security, and IT/network security. Since the program launched in 2003, i2 has donated well over 10 million dollars of its visual investigative analysis software to academic institutions throughout the country.

Paragon Technologies Voluntarily Delists and Deregisters Stock

EASTON, Pa., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Paragon Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PTG), a leading supplier of "smart" material handling systems and "software-driven" warehouse and distribution center solutions, today announced that it has filed with the NYSE Amex and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form 25 relating to the delisting and deregistration of its common stock. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that trading of its common stock on the NYSE Amex may be suspended on April 30, 2009 and that its common stock will be delisted from the NYSE Amex on or about May 11, 2009, and on or about that date, the Company will file with the SEC a Form 15, Notice of Termination and Suspension of Duty to File, to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

When the Form 15 has been filed, the Company's obligations to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will immediately be suspended. The Company expects that the deregistration of its common stock will become effective 90 days after the date the Form 15 is filed with the SEC. The Company is eligible to deregister its common stock because it has fewer than 300 stockholders of record.

Following the delisting and deregistration of the Company's common stock, it is expected that trading of the Company's common stock by continuing stockholders may be effected through privately negotiated transactions or, if the Company qualifies, in the Pink Sheets (a centralized quotation service that collects and publishes market maker quotes for securities). The Company has engaged a market maker who has applied for the quotation of the Company's common stock in the Pink Sheets. The Company has been working with the market maker to have the quotation in the Pink Sheets effective as soon as reasonably possible.

If the Company's common stock is listed and traded in the Pink Sheets, the Company intends to try to comply with rules permitting its common stock to be continuously quoted and traded in the Pink Sheets. However, there is no assurance that either the Company or a market maker will comply with such rules. More information about the Pink Sheets can be obtained from its website at http://www.pinksheets.com/.

Len Yurkovic, Acting CEO of Paragon Technologies, commented, "The Company's Board of Directors previously authorized the delisting and deregistration of the Company's common stock after concluding that the consequences of remaining an SEC-reporting company, including the significant costs associated with regulatory compliance, outweighed the current benefits of public company status to the Company and its stockholders."

Paragon's SI Systems' branded technologies drive productivity at Fortune 1000 companies and the United States Government.

About Paragon Technologies

Paragon Technologies is a leader in integrating material handling systems and creating automated solutions for material flow applications. SI Systems' branded technologies and material handling solutions address unit assembly in manufacturing operations and order fulfillment applications.

Atkins and IBM Sign 14.4 Million Pounds Sterling Data Storage Transformation Agreement

LONDON, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IBM and Atkins, a design and engineering consultancy group in the U.K., today announced a five-year managed storage agreement. The IBM solution will put in place the infrastructure and tools needed to manage the storage environment across the business. The agreement will empower Atkins consultants to manage their data personally, while also making costs more transparent to the business.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )

Atkins provides expertise to resolve complex challenges, planning, designing and enabling projects from skyscrapers to rail network upgrades. Each project amasses a large amount of vital data that must be accessible and secure throughout the planning, design and enable stages. With data volumes growing at a rate of 50-60% year-on-year, Atkins selected IBM to help them manage the ever increasing data mountain.

In a two-phased approach, IBM will transition data away from Atkins' regional offices, to reduce the overall storage load. This will include IBM's leading-edge approach to move away from a managed back-up process. Secondly, IBM will convert data to a 'Write Anywhere File System' format as it is moved onto a new IBM managed service, central storage location based on an IBM N-Series storage array.

Mike Russell, Group IS Director at Atkins said, "We recognised that the growth of data was hurting our business flexibility and efficiency, so we asked IBM to help identify and implement a solution to give us the ability to control our data needs today, and also be flexible in dealing with future growth. Atkins consultants need flexible and manageable data storage in support of demanding infrastructure projects. This new service will help us respond to the quickly changing demands of the business."

Mike Jackson IBM General Business Territory Director South at IBM UK said, "We're putting in place a low risk migration plan addressing the complexities of the existing environment and business dependencies which will see Atkins benefit from significant service improvements and also reduce Atkins' carbon footprint associated with data management."

Plex Systems, Inc. Announces Availability of 'Measuring the ROI of ERP' ReportBest-in-class companies expect ERP to pay for itself within two years, analysts conclude.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Plex Systems, Inc., providers of Plex Online software for the manufacturing enterprise, today announced availability of the newly published "Measuring the ROI of ERP: Keeping Projects Alive Just When You Need Them the Most" benchmark report by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company . Plex Systems sponsored the report, which is now available as a free download for a limited time at the Resource Center found at http://www.plex.com/.

Analysts find that with the downturn in today's economy, some companies respond with a knee jerk reaction to stop discretionary spending on ERP projects -- just when ERP's cost-saving potential is needed the most. Given the current economic uncertainty, it's now more critical than ever to keep ERP projects alive.

Using ROI estimates to cost justify projects and measure results, researchers conclude that Best-in-Class companies produce twice the reduction in inventory levels as industry average. With inventory reductions and administrative cost savings, the majority of Best-in-Class companies expect ERP to pay for itself within 2 years.

"A well-managed ERP implementation can be a continuing source of cost savings and operational improvements which help companies survive and thrive in these troubled economic times," said Cindy Jutras, vice president and research fellow, Aberdeen. "By standardizing business processes and providing improved visibility, effective ERP implementation supports organizational goals of revenue and profit growth. While the total cost of ERP ownership is important to monitor and optimize, focus must now expand to include ROI of ERP projects in order to justify continued investment and maximum benefits. "

Adds Mark Symonds, Plex Systems, Inc. CEO, "This timely research confirms the value Plex Online delivers to manufacturers. With the Software as a Service delivery model, implementations are cost-effective, letting companies achieve ROI faster through increased productivity, reduced inventories, reduced scrap and improved lead times. These are vital cost-savings in a down economy."

Looking Forward: The Use of Health IT in CrisisA Podcast from Perot Systems on the Role of Information Technology in Improving Healthcare

PLANO, Texas, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Edition 3

Host: Dr. Harry Greenspun, executive vice president and chief medical officer for Perot Systems healthcare group Guest: Dr. Nathaniel Hupert, Director of The Preparedness Modeling Unit for The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Associate Professor of public health and medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College What: "Looking Forward: Perspectives on Healthcare and IT" - a podcast hosted by Dr. Harry Greenspun, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Perot Systems Healthcare Group When: This podcast will be available for download on April 30, 2009 Where: http://www.perotsystems.com/MediaRoom/podcasts Contact: Jonathan Moss +1 972-577-6395 jonathan.moss@ps.net

Perot Systems (http://www.perotsystems.com/) hosts a series of podcasts with its Chief Medical Officer, Harry Greenspun. This edition of "Looking Forward" is a conversation between Dr. Greenspun and Dr. Nathaniel Hupert of the CDC on the use of health IT in crisis control, a topic of increasing interest and relevance in light of the recent event that have unfolded with the Swine influenza outbreak.

The following quotes from Dr. Nathaniel Hupert are highlights of the podcast:

On preparedness modeling:

"Interest in preparedness modeling came from focusing on anthrax. Groups of modelers were asked to make models of the same scenario to see the impact of a release of anthrax in a major U.S. city. For one of the first times in recent memory, this was an effort to bring quantitative assessment techniques to very complex questions," said Dr. Hupert.

On using available data to create a model:

"One of the really interesting aspects of creating models is that the greater fidelity that you want in the model, the more you really need to rely on data that is floating around on the Internet," stated Dr. Hupert.

On the capabilities of preparedness modeling for hospitals:

"What we're aiming for are models that seem like magic. When we're talking about hurricane evacuation models, someone should be able to make a model where, at the push of a button, you could determine how long it would take to evacuate your hospital right now, with the patients who are actually in your hospital," said Dr. Hupert.

Information about Dr. Nathaniel Hupert:

Since 2000, Dr. Hupert has led a number of federally funded projects to develop improved tools and logistics for mass prophylaxis, bioterrorism response, and health system preparedness for surge capacity. A leading authority in using computer models to predict and plan for public health emergencies, Dr. Nathaniel Hupert has been named director of the new Preparedness Modeling Unit at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). He remains associate professor of public health and medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and associate attending physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell in New York City.

In his new role, Dr. Hupert will support preparedness modeling activities both within the CDC and among its federal, state, local, and academic partners with the aim of helping formulate policies to safeguard the public's health before, during and after emergency situations, such as infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, environmental exposures, climate change and bioterrorism. For more information about Dr. Hupert visit: http://www.weillcornell.org/nathanielhupert.

Information about Dr. Harry Greenspun:

Dr. Harry Greenspun is the Chief Medical Officer for Perot Systems Healthcare Group. He is a nationally recognized physician executive who, as a member of the company's Healthcare Leadership Team, provides strategic direction to drive technological improvements in clinical care. Additionally, his position as a thought leader in the healthcare industry enables him to communicate Perot Systems' market-leading healthcare transformation capabilities.
