Cree Raises Financial Targets for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2009

DURHAM, N.C., May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cree, Inc. , a market leader in LED lighting, today announced increased revenue and earnings targets for its fiscal fourth quarter ending June 28, 2009. Cree now targets revenue in a range of $143 million to $150 million with GAAP earnings of $0.07 to $0.09 per diluted share and non-GAAP earnings of $0.15 to $0.17 per diluted share, based on an estimated 89 million diluted weighted average shares. Targeted non-GAAP earnings exclude expenses related to the amortization of acquired intangibles of $0.03 per diluted share, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.05 per diluted share.

-- The targeted revenue range is higher than previously announced primarily due to stronger LED component bookings for lighting-related applications, as well as higher LED chip bookings for notebook backlighting. -- Gross margin for the quarter is targeted to be at the higher end of previously targeted levels. -- Operating expenses are targeted to be approximately $46 million.

"We are pleased with the strong booking trends for Q4," stated Chuck Swoboda, Cree chairman and CEO. "We also remain optimistic about the growth potential for LED lighting in fiscal 2010, although there is some near term execution risk as we ramp up production to meet these higher targets."

About Cree, Inc.

Cree is leading the LED lighting revolution and setting the stage to obsolete the incandescent light bulb through the use of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly LED lighting. Cree is a market-leading innovator of lighting-class LEDs, LED lighting solutions, and semiconductor solutions for wireless and power applications.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release highlights the company's earnings targets on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. The GAAP measure includes certain costs, charges, gains and losses which are excluded from the non-GAAP measure. By publishing the non-GAAP measure, management intends to provide investors with additional information to further analyze the company's future performance. Cree's management evaluates results and makes operating decisions using both GAAP and non-GAAP measures included in this press release. Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and non-GAAP information should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward Looking Statements:

This press release contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated. Actual results, including with respect to our targets and prospects, could differ materially due to a number of factors, including the risk that we may be unable to ramp our production quickly enough to meet the targeted revenue levels; the risk that, due to the complexity of our manufacturing processes and transition of production to larger wafers, we may experience production delays that preclude us from shipping sufficient quantities to meet customer orders or that result in higher production costs and lower margins; risks associated with the ramp-up of our production for our new products, as well as production at our Huizhou facility and subcontractors; current uncertainty in global economic conditions that could negatively affect product demand, collectability of receivables and other related matters as consumers and businesses may defer purchases or payments, or default on payments, in response to tighter credit and negative financial news; our ability to complete development and commercialization of products under development, such as our pipeline of brighter LED chips, LED components and LED lighting retrofit solutions; our ability to lower costs; increasing price competition in key markets; risks resulting from the concentration of our business among few customers, including the risk that customers may reduce or cancel orders or fail to honor purchase commitments; the rapid development of new technology and competing products that may impair demand or render our products obsolete; the potential lack of customer acceptance for our products; risks associated with our recent acquisitions; risks associated with ongoing litigation; and other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2008, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Except as required under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, Cree disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, developments, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

PC Power Management Programs Can Reduce Computer-Related Energy Costs by 40%Despite Proven Benefits, PC Power Management Programs Are Still Not Prevalent

NORCROSS, Ga., May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PC power management programs, which enable management of PC power settings over a network, provide the ability to drastically reduce organizations' power consumption, energy costs, and carbon dioxide emissions. Numerous studies, including those from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and several private-sector organizations, indicate that up to $70 per PC can be saved each year by implementing PC power management programs. For an enterprise with 1,000 client computers, this can result in annual energy savings of $70,000.

Despite the significant savings opportunity, the vast majority of organizations are not utilizing power management capabilities and are wasting large amounts of electricity and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. According to a recent survey conducted by Forrester Research Inc., only 13% of organizations have implemented extensive power management programs while an additional 18% have set up programs for only some of their PCs.

Simtrol's Device Manager(TM) software optimizes the management and maintenance of connected devices such as digital displays, projectors, and PCs. Device Manager may be deployed as a standalone solution or as an extension to an existing Systems Management suite to reduce operating costs and extend the life of assets across the enterprise.

More Than 167,000 Fans Flock to Target Facebook Page Helping Donate $3 Million to Ten CharitiesWith over 77,000 Votes, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital(R) Wins $797,123

MINNEAPOLIS, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- In just two short weeks, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital(R) tallied 26.6% of total votes, coming in first winning $797,123 in the first-ever Target giving campaign on Facebook(R). Bullseye Gives, which kicked-off on May 10 and concluded on May 25, 2009, invited Facebook users to visit http://www.facebook.com/Target to help Target decide how to divvy up $3 million among ten national charities. With more than 3,000 wall posts* from inspired voters, the campaign also created a place for the online community to share their personal stories and experiences.

With 291,399 votes tallied, Target will donate a portion of the $3 million amount to each charity based on their percentage of votes, which included:

-- St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - 77,427 votes (26.6%) = $797,123 -- American Red Cross - 77,118 votes (26.5%) = $793,942 -- The Salvation Army - 38,004 votes (13%) = $391,258 -- Operation Gratitude - 22,627 votes (7.8%) = $232,948 -- Breast Cancer Research Foundation - 19,264 votes (6.6%) = $198,326 -- Feeding America - 15,574 votes (5.3%) = $160,336 -- HandsOn Network/Points of Light Institute - 11,378 votes (4.0%) = $120,845 -- Parent Teacher Association - 10,904 votes (3.7%) = $112,259 -- National Park Foundation - 9553 votes (3.3%) = $98,350 -- Kids In Need Foundation - 9,190 votes (3.2%) = $94,613

"On behalf of our patients and families, a heartfelt thank you to Target and the thousands of Facebook members who voted for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital during the Bullseye Gives campaign," said David L. McKee, chief operating officer and interim CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising organization of St. Jude. "This remarkable program gave the online community a simple way to provide much-needed funds to many worthy causes. We are humbled by the incredible show of support for our lifesaving mission."

Funds raised through the Bullseye Gives campaign will support the groundbreaking research and lifesaving care at St. Jude, including the St. Jude School Program. For children undergoing treatment, school can offer a familiar and reassuring routine. In addition, school helps patients maintain a sense of identity, hope for the future and most importantly educational parity with their peers back home. With this in mind, the St. Jude School Program offers several services to assist patients with their academic progress while they undergo treatment at St. Jude. The St. Jude School Program is accredited as a Special Purpose School by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

During the two-week campaign, Bullseye Gives generated incredible results and voter response, including:

-- Target Facebook Page added 97,091 new fans -- During the campaign, the Target Facebook Page increased daily views by 4,800%* -- Target Facebook Page experienced a 3,000% surge in wall posts, with more than 3,000 personal stories shared throughout the campaign* -- More than 167,000 fans on Facebook voted for the charity of their choice -- St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and American Red Cross received over 53% of total votes

"We're grateful to the online community for their passionate response to Bullseye Gives and their willingness to share personal stories about why these charities are important to them. We're excited that all ten amazing charities will receive a generous donation, as well as increased awareness through social networking platforms," said Laysha Ward, president of community relations, Target. "The voices of the online community reinforce that giving to those who need it most is a nationwide priority. We encourage the more than 167,000 voters to continue their support of these organizations or other worthy causes."

As part of company's continued commitment to service, Target offered to connect all Bullseye Gives participants with local volunteer opportunities through a partnership with VolunteerMatch, an organization that offers an array of programs to support community and civic service 365 days a year. Over 2,200 fans on Facebook clicked through to the VolunteerMatch service page to find causes and volunteer programs in their local communities.

Doctors in New Hampshire Now Treating Cancer with Non-Invasive Image-Guided Radiosurgery Using Novalis Tx(TM) TechnologyA 71-year old man with inoperable lung cancer is able to receive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatment

DOVER, N.H., May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Surgeons told Donald Bickford, 71, that due to the weakened condition of his lungs, ordinary surgery was not an option for removing his lung tumor. To treat the tumor, Arul Mahadevan, MD, radiation oncologist at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital here, prescribed a type of non-invasive radiosurgery using the Novalis Tx(TM) platform from Varian Medical Systems and BrainLAB.

The Novalis Tx delivers powerful, precisely sculpted doses of radiation using a combination of image-guidance and robotically-controlled beam-shaping tools. In Bickford's case, the treatments were designed to narrowly target his tumor while avoiding, as much as possible, the delicate healthy lung tissues around it. To further ensure treatment accuracy, Wentworth Douglass clinicians used the platform's optical and X-ray image-guidance technology to adjust for any tumor movement due to Bickford's breathing during treatment.

"I'm a long time smoker, and over time, my breathing capacity has been severely weakened," said Bickford, a retired assembler of printing presses. "Thoracic surgeons told me that because of the poor condition of my lungs, I couldn't handle any kind of surgical procedure. Thankfully for me, there was another treatment option."

Clinicians completed Bickford's full course of SBRT treatments in five days without the need for anesthesia or overnight hospital stays. On each of these days, Bickford was in and out of the hospital in a little more than an hour. Treatments were quick and painless. "I wasn't really nervous. In fact, I didn't feel a thing during the treatments," said Bickford. "I've been feeling fine ever since."

"The Novalis Tx platform made it possible for us to treat Donald's lung tumor," said Dr. Mahadevan. "It incorporates all the tools for both the imaging and dose delivery steps, which makes the process very smooth for us and for our patients. It enabled us to verify the position of the tumor prior to each treatment and deliver the dose in a way that aims to avoid other tissues already weakened by the patient's chronic pulmonary disease. The Novalis Tx is an exceptional machine for treating tumors and malignancies in highly sensitive areas of the body."

The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2008, doctors diagnosed 215,020 new cases of lung cancer in the US, with over 1,040 occurring in New Hampshire, and 1,330 occurring in Maine.

IBM Launches Vietnam Innovation Center to Fuel Technology GrowthNew University Collaborations and Developer Resources Foster Local Technical and Business Skills Development

HO CHI MINH, Vietnam, May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IBM further expanded its reach into growing nations with the opening of the first IBM Innovation Center in Vietnam. The new center aims to help local communities build skills and develop new technologies to support demand for digital infrastructure projects in banking, telecommunications, energy and government industries.

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

The center, located in Ho Chi Minh City, will provide entrepreneurs, business partners, venture capitalists and academics across Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos with access to training workshops, consulting services, a broad technical infrastructure, and hands-on assistance to help bring new technologies to market.

As part of IBM's efforts to help build and support the burgeoning technical community in Vietnam, IBM also announced new collaborations with leading universities and improved access to no charge developer resources:

-- The University of Technology, Vietnam National University (VNU) in Ho Chi Minh City will join the IBM Academic Initiative and collaborate with IBM to establish a new university cloud computing center and a cloud curriculum; -- The College of Technology, Vietnam National University (VNU) in Hanoi will establish a Service Science Management and Engineering (SSME) department and jointly develop curriculum with IBM; and, -- IBM will launch the first Vietnamese language version of IBM developerWorks, the world's largest and most visited global site to help IT professionals advance their technology skills.

The news is in response to accelerated IT growth in Vietnam. As Internet use in Vietnam continues to rise at a considerable rate, the country's IT sector has grown more than 20 percent annually. Internet usage, limited to 200,000 citizens in 2000, doubled between 2005 and 2008 with over 20 million Vietnamese accessing the Internet today, according to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center.

Of all developing countries, Vietnam has the highest Internet penetration rate, and with a goal of becoming a fully industrialized nation by 2020, wide-spread Internet access across Vietnam will help fuel the creation of new businesses that drive innovation into maturing industries.

In support of these opportunities, the Vietnam IBM Innovation Center will provide technical experts and customized hands-on supports to test and validate users' software technologies before they go to market. The center will offer training and access to open standards-based and emerging technologies such as cloud computing, Web 2.0 technologies, service oriented architecture (SOA), service management, and computing designs with energy and environment benefits.

"IBM continues to make major investments in emerging markets around the world, growing business while helping to develop local ecosystems that advance IT skills and innovation," said Jim Corgel, general manager, IBM ISV and Developer Relations. "With this IBM Innovation Center and new university collaborations, we are able to make IBM's technical resources and expertise more accessible to fuel innovation and help local businesses and academics compete on a global scale."

The Vietnam center adds to the growing network of 43 IBM Innovation Centers worldwide, part of the company's $1 billion annual investment into the success of its 100,000 global business partners.

In 2008, IBM Innovation Centers assisted more than 22,000 business partners with workshops, seminars and consultations to build their skills and develop solutions on IBM technologies, leading to over 7,000 technology enablements.

This year, IBM Innovation Centers will hold no-charge IBM Business Partner Development Series interactive seminars to provide insight on IBM's leading technology in areas ranging from dynamic infrastructure to cloud computing and energy efficiency, as well as details on how partners can maximize their relationship with IBM by taking advantage of available IBM resources to help them get to market faster, reduce development cost and shorten sales cycles.

"As an IBM Business Partner, our company has benefited from no cost access to deep technical and consulting expertise at the IBM Innovation Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia," said Alexander Grygoruk, president and CEO of UNICOM Software in Ho Chi Minh City. "The center has allowed us to maintain our high performance edge, reduce porting and testing costs and get our banking software to market more rapidly. The new Vietnam IBM Innovation Center will provide an excellent local resource to help businesses gain access to technology and skills needed to drive new businesses and innovation into the region."

Further strengthening IBM's commitment to the Vietnamese market, the IBM Innovation Center also will serve as a local technology hub, linking together local IBM business partners with IBM Vietnam's Cloud Lab, Banking Center of Excellence and Technical Exploration Center.

"As a growing nation, Vietnam provides vast opportunities for local companies, start-ups, academics and IT professionals," said Vo Tan Long, Country General Manager of IBM Vietnam. "Since 2000, IBM has launched more than a dozen IBM Innovation Centers in emerging nations like Vietnam to drive growth and innovation around IT skills. This country has a wealth of talent, and IBM is committed to help develop the local technical community."

New Academic Relationships and Software Developer Resources

The announcement includes two separate initiatives between IBM and The College of Technology, VNU in Hanoi, and The University of Technology, VNU in Ho Chi Minh City to establish new research and curriculum supporting the need to develop the technology and business skills to meet future job opportunities.

The University of Technology, VNU in Ho Chi Minh City and IBM will create a cloud computing lab that will allow the university to test, evaluate and extend different advanced cloud computing configurations. This will help the university engage in world class research activities and enable collaboration with leading industries in the region.

The joint effort will include research with IBM hardware and software and the creation of educational programs and curriculum relating to cloud computing technology. The University also will join the IBM Academic Initiative, which provides a host of no charge resources to faculty and students to help create programs that drive 21st century skills.

The College of Technology, VNU in Hanoi and IBM will jointly establish new curriculum and research, with a focus on SSME which combines computer science, engineering and business strategy into one discipline. The college will establish an SSME department, focused on the new academic discipline designed to produce students with the combined business and technology skills needed to enter today's workforce ready to contribute immediately to their countries' economic growth and innovation.

IBM works closely with over 20 of Vietnam's academic institutions to help build the highly skilled professionals in great demand for the nation's modernization and innovation efforts.

IBM also launched Vietnamese language resources on developerWorks, to provide Vietnamese IT professionals with greater accessibility to software tools and code, IT standards and best practices, and skills training. These resources can be found at: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/vn.

As the largest and most visited global site to gain technology skills, developerWorks is used by millions of developers worldwide and has helped advance open standards and emerging technologies while making sure IT companies have the tools and skills to support technology investments such as Java, Linux, XML and cloud computing.

Recovery.org Tracks 10,000th American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ProjectState-by-State Tracking of Projects at a Glance with New Interactive MapNew Community Features Allow Users to Vote on Importance of Projects

SEATTLE, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Recovery.org, the website "capable of tracking federal, state and local Recovery Act spending in real time," has tracked the 10,000th project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and has launched a dynamic state-by-state map to allow the public to track the spending at a glance and to drill down to the local level.

The new national, state and county maps are color-coded to correspond to the amount of recovery spending taking place in every county in the nation, and the mouse-over feature lists the number of current projects and total dollar amount of recovery spending.

Recovery.org is being offered to the public for free by Onvia , a Seattle-based technology firm that uses a complex taxonomy to track government spending events at more than 89,000 federal, state and local government agencies. Because of its unique tracking system, developed over the last 10 years, Onvia can identify, collect, and compile in a standardized format Advance Notices, Bids, RFPs, Amendments and Awards from tens of thousands of agencies in a comprehensive, timely and accurate way.

According to Onvia's/Recovery.org's data, Florida leads the nation both in number of projects and in total stimulus funding thus far, with 963 events on-line. Texas, California, Washington state, and New York round out the top 5 states in total dollars.

The top 10 states in number of events (as of May 26, 2009): Florida 963 Michigan 772 Texas 682 Pennsylvania 679 Maryland 608 California 544 Washington 469 Ohio 462 Illinois 414 Tennessee 410

"This is a win-win-win for the public sector, the private sector and for taxpayers," said Onvia CEO Mike Pickett. "The public gains immediate knowledge of where the recovery money is being spent. As importantly, job creation and economic recovery will be expedited because every business in the country now can see where the contracting opportunities exist, and how to submit a proposal. More transparency will lead to more bidders and better value for taxpayers."

Since Recovery.org was launched in late March, the site has enabled the public to track the recovery spending by federal, state and local government agencies at a granular level. Projects are posted as they are announced and in real-time. The site has seen a dramatic increase in traffic from small businesses, the general public, and federal, state and local governments wondering where the recovery funds are being spent.

The goal of the site continues to be giving small and medium businesses, the media, and ordinary citizens greater access to information and bringing unprecedented transparency and accountability to recovery spending.

The site recently launched new features that include: -- At a glance, see the number of projects and funding by geography -- Drill down to a specific, state, county, city -- Comment and vote on projects if they are worthwhile or wasteful -- Filter projects by project type (Amendment, Award, Bid/RFP, Presolicitation) -- Sort projects by cost or solicitation date -- Business registration for free automatic notification of upcoming ARRA projects

On May 5, Onvia's CIO Eric Gillespie testified before Congress at a House Science and Technology Committee subcommittee hearing about the federal government's efforts to track stimulus spending. Mr. Gillespie's testimony is available on the committee's website: http://democrats.science.house.gov/Media/file/Commdocs/hearings/2009/Oversight /5may/Gillespie_Testimony.pdf

Interested parties can also follow @RecoveryOrg on Twitter to get the latest news on Recovery spending, transparency and accountability.

For more than twelve years, Onvia has delivered unparalleled coverage of government purchasing activity from Federal, State, Local and Education agencies for clients in the industries targeted by the economic recovery package.

Engine Alliance Ships First GP7200 Propulsor

EAST HARTFORD, Conn., May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The Engine Alliance (EA) shipped the first GP7200 propulsor to Emirates on May 21. The delivery marks the first time the Engine Alliance and member company Pratt & Whitney have delivered a propulsor, rather than a full engine, to any airline.

"Shipping a propulsor is an innovative way to supply spare engines," EA chief engineer Paul Smith explained. "The fan module has a very long life, so it can be reused with a new propulsor to provide a full spare engine. It's a huge cost savings for the customer."

According to EA industrial director Marios Evripidou, delivering spare propulsors in lieu of spare engines also helps minimize an airline's inventory. "They don't have to keep as many unused fans in inventory because they can reuse the ones they already have," he said. Shipping propulsors is easier than shipping a full engine, too, Evripidou said. Because they're smaller, they can be transported on most wide-body freighter aircraft. "It gives the customer great transportation flexibility," he said.

The GP7200 entered revenue service in August 2008 with the first Emirates A380. Since entering service, the GP7200-powered A380 has not had an in-flight shutdown and has demonstrated a departure reliability rate greater than 99.9%.

In addition to Emirates, the Engine Alliance GP7200 has been selected to power A380 aircraft for Air France, Korean Airlines, and the International Lease Finance Company (ILFC). Air France is scheduled to receive its first GP7200-powered A380 aircraft in October.

The GP7200 is derived from two successful wide-body engine programs, the GE90 and the PW4000. It benefits from the two programs' latest, proven technologies and the lessons learned from more than 22 million flight hours of safe operation. Certified at 76,500 pounds (340 kN) of thrust, the engine has the capability to produce more than 81,500 pounds (363 kN) of thrust. The GP7200 is the quietest, most fuel efficient engine for the A380, and its emissions are well below current and anticipated regulations.

The GP7200 is manufactured at GE and Pratt & Whitney, with GE assembling the core in Durham, NC (North Carolina), and Pratt &Whitney manufacturing the fan module, low pressure compressor and low pressure turbine. Final engine assembly is conducted at Pratt & Whitney's Engine Center in Middletown, CT (Connecticut).

The Engine Alliance is a 50/50 joint venture of General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp. .

Survey Uncovers the True Extent of Economic Crisis on Customer Relationships with Banks

NORCROSS, Georgia and LONDON, May 26 /PRNewswire/ --

- S1 Enterprise Establishes 'Banking Relationship Score'

- Outlines Steps Required to Rebuild Trust and Confidence

Results of a new survey released today by S1 Enterprise confirm that troubles in the banking sector have taken a toll on customers' relationships with their financial institutions - and provide insights on how banks can rebuild trust and confidence. Fielded among more than 1,200 European and U.S. consumers and 54 large corporate banking customers in April 2009, the survey finds that only nine percent of consumer respondents in Europe and the U.S. are currently confident in financial institutions.

The crisis in the financial sector shows no signs of abating, with only 14 percent of European consumers believing things are likely to improve in the next 12 months. This lack of confidence extends to consumers' relationships with their banks with only 37 percent of European consumers saying they are likely to stay with their current bank, and a mere 27 percent admitting they would recommend their current bank to someone else. Another 43 percent would go as far as to dissuade someone from becoming a customer. This data underscores the need for banks to draw closer to their customers in terms of communicating the institution's financial health as well as demonstrating an understanding of customer needs and expectations.

The survey goes on to establish a benchmark for tracking the strength of the relationship between banks and customers. The 'Banking Relationship Score' (BRS) is a multi-dimensional measurement that combines three stated and emotional factors: trust in one's current bank; likelihood to continue with one's current bank; and likelihood to recommend one's current bank to others. BRS scores fall into one of three ranges developed by Vantedge Group based on analysis and benchmarking across a variety of industries: Strong Relationship = a score of 75 or higher; Neutral Relationship = a score of 60 to 74; and At-Risk Relationship = a score below 60.

The overall Banking Relationship Score for European financial institutions came in at 27.7, compared to 55.3 in the U.S. This score is well into the 'at risk' zone and almost 50 points below the target range of 75 or above which designates strong relationships.

"The severity of the downturn for financial institutions has clearly eroded key components of the banking relationship, while increasing the importance of emotional drivers like trust," said Read Ziegler, President and CEO of Vantedge Group. "By weighing the trust factor against the stated likelihood of consumers to stay with as well as recommend their bank, we can get a fresh new perspective on the health of the bank-customer relationship on a national level."

"Banking relationships are clearly at a crossroads," said Mark Moore, Vice President of Marketing for S1 Enterprise. "But the more important question is what banks can do to combat these trends and rebuild relationships with their customers, both on the consumer and corporate sides of the business. The way in which banks interact with their customers matters today more than ever."

The results highlight the growing importance of banks building back trust and confidence through a greater focus on customer intimacy across all banking channels (online, mobile, branch/teller and call center). For example, when asked their preference for interacting with their banks, a majority of consumer respondents (41 percent) said 'in person at the branch', followed by a more even split between a combination of in person and online (28 percent) and online only (23 percent).

The survey results suggest specific steps that the banks can take to build stronger customer relationships. These include tailoring communications, services and the overall banking experience to individual customer segments across all delivery channels. This means banks will need to better harness data and analytics for deeper insight in order to provide advice about how customers can better manage their financial lives. "The research suggests banks should strive to create a culture of customer advocacy, one that promotes proactive service, honesty and greater transparency into a bank's financial health," added Moore.

Other top findings from the survey include:

-- Overall, only 14 percent of European consumers indicated they were feeling positive about an economic recovery within the next 12 months. -- Only 37 percent of European consumers say they're likely to stay with their current bank, and a mere 27 percent would actually recommend their current bank to someone else. Another 43 percent say they'd be more likely to dissuade someone from becoming a customer. -- When broken down by demographic factors, the Bank Relationship Score model revealed that young, affluent males with less than three accounts with their primary bank represent the customer group at greatest risk for defecting. -- The survey of corporate banking customers found 'Trust' to be the number one factor in building valuable banking relationships (70 percent of corporate respondents). As the financial landscape continues to shift, 50 percent of corporate respondents noted that they intend to keep their banking relationships limited to a small group of less than five institutions (the smallest option available on the survey questionnaire). -- Only 41 percent of large corporations indicated they would be likely to recommend their financial institution to a friend or colleague, and only 46 percent noted that they are likely to continue a relationship with their bank.

More 3G Wireless Coverage for Quartz Hill, California ResidentsNew Verizon Wireless cell site also adds capacity to stay ahead of demand for calls, email and text

IRVINE, Calif., May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Los Angeles County residents, businesses and visitors are enjoying improved service thanks to a new Verizon Wireless cell site. The site expands 3G wireless coverage in Quartz Hill, southwest Lancaster and western Palmdale in neighborhoods west of 30th Street. The increase in network coverage and capacity means more calls, emails, text and picture messages for locals, plus expanded wireless access to the web.

Verizon Wireless invested over $600 million in California during 2008 to enhance service and coverage. Nationally, the company has invested more than $48 billion in its network since it was formed in 2000. The result is the nation's largest, most reliable 3G network that powers services such as Mobile Broadband and email.

Businesses of any size can tap into the power of Mobile Broadband. The service allows users to connect to the Internet wirelessly while on the go to download music over-the-air, and access e-mail or corporate data. For example, customers can download a small 1 megabyte PowerPoint(R) presentation in about eight seconds and upload the same-sized file in less than 13 seconds.

Small business owners interested in Mobile Broadband, and other wireless solutions, can visit http://smallbusiness.vzw.com/ where they will find:

-- An online forum to share experiences and connect with other business owners -- Access to Small Business Specialists in each Verizon Wireless store -- Discounts and promotions to help businesses stretch their budgets -- Summaries of mobile solutions like email, wireless Internet and Push to Talk service -- 24/7 tech support

Verizon Wireless tests its network and those of its competitors. The company determines if voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Nationally, Verizon Wireless' real-life test men and women drive 91 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually. They drive on Interstate, U.S. and state highways, as well as major roads and streets in high-population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

CBS Outdoor Launches a Turnkey Text Messaging Platform for AdvertisersOutdoor Industry's Most Comprehensive Program Provides Ability to Track Consumer Response in Real-Time

NEW YORK, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- CBS Outdoor, has launched an innovative text messaging (or SMS) capability for its advertisers' media campaigns. The program, called txt2go, will include a text keyword on advertiser signage that the public can use to access marketing messages from the client, including special offers and promotions. The interactive feature enhances an advertiser's ability to connect with prospects and deliver messages with more relevance and a measurable ROI, in addition to building a long-term database of interested consumers.

In launching txt2go, CBS Outdoor becomes the nation's very first out-of-home media company to provide a complete text messaging solution for its clients. The add-on feature creates an affordable new avenue for advertisers looking to package into their media features like digital couponing, sweepstakes, direct response and point of purchase. The technology will allow advertisers to track responses to their marketing in real time.

"This is a win-win scenario for our clients," said Jodi Senese, Executive Vice President, Marketing, CBS Outdoor. "Out-of-home media have been choice marketing outlets for local businesses, and we are ramping up the effectiveness of our signage by giving our clients ways to further engage consumers with direct response messaging and compelling offers. More specifically, if someone is interested in a product or service advertised they can receive a coupon, free merchandise or another offer simply by texting in a short code, giving the company ongoing communication with an interested consumer."

txt2go is a simplified process whereby an advertiser of virtually any size can add a text messaging code to his ad campaign. Designed to enhance not only the outdoor component, the text capability can exist across all of the advertisers' media outlets -- overlaying a measurable direct response element to the campaign In addition to simplifying the process, CBS Outdoor txt2go is very cost-friendly, as little as $225 for up to 500 responses. Clients will be able to see the real time performance of their campaign on the CBS Outdoor Mobile Website. It takes only a few days to have the client's campaign up and running.

CBS Outdoor chose Rip Road to power its mobile platform; Rip Road provides innovative mobile technology to leading media companies and brands across the US.

"Our experience has shown that when we allow a consumer to engage with a brand or advertiser on their terms, the desired participation increases dramatically," said Eric Leven, Chief Executive Officer, Rip Road. "This mobile application lets an advertiser generate the tremendous value an outdoor effort provides, as well as start communicating with prospects through coupons, discounts, news and much more."

U.S. Lumber Improves Business Performance With IBM Business IntelligenceNew intelligence helps increase profitability and customer satisfaction

ARMONK, N.Y., May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IBM today announced that it has provided U.S. Lumber Group with a business intelligence (BI) solution that is providing the company with in-depth reporting capabilities in real time versus their original system that provided reports daily.

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

The system is helping the Atlanta-based wholesale building-materials distributor view key performance indicators enabling them to make smarter, more informed decisions since it is now possible to quickly compare actual results with strategic goals.

As a midsized company, it was important that U.S. Lumber find a new solution that would reduce overhead costs and increase customer satisfaction. This is particularly significant in today's economic environment. Initially, U.S. Lumber had a small vendor providing day-to-day metrics. The Web-based application was limited to daily performance indicators and the overall data scheme was small in scope and difficult to extract. As the company grew and became more sophisticated, U.S. Lumber's ability to forecast a year's sales activities became a lot more complicated with the available tools.

"With the current economic conditions, data becomes like a goldmine and you need the best tools to mine it," said Felipe Herrera, senior financial analyst, U.S. Lumber Group. "With IBM Cognos 8 BI, we can create our own applications that are ten times more sophisticated and flexible than any of the applications created by other third-party vendors."

IBM Business Partner Lodestar Solutions helped U.S. Lumber develop more informed and accurate business strategies providing greater insight into operations and increased customer satisfaction by being able to diagnose and solve issues quickly. U.S. Lumber also reduced software costs compared with its previous solution, which was provided by a competitor.

"We are dedicated to helping companies like U.S. Lumber become self sufficient, leveraging their own data to become more successful and grow their business while cutting costs," said Heather Cole, president and CEO, Lodestar Solutions.

In addition to significant cost savings, IBM Cognos 8 BI provided U.S. Lumber with flexibility in consolidating reports. Branch managers can now create reports that break down information account-by-account and expense-by-expense. With more granular breakout, the company can easily see which strategies work best and improve on the execution of those strategies.

The IBM Cognos 8 BI solution has also given U.S. Lumber the ability to create a profitability application that helps the company better assign costs to each customer based on order size. For example, orders can vary from sending one piece of lumber to one customer to sending an entire truckload of 45,000 pounds to another. U.S. Lumber now has clear visibility into profit levels for each and every order.

U.S. Lumber was also faced with the challenge of improving its internal procurement process as the company learned that the former system would require custom software development work. The original estimate from another third party to begin development on a procurement system was estimated at more than $100,000.

Instead, US Lumber opted to implement IBM Cognos Software. As a result, U.S. Lumber was able to minimize risk and save money by utilizing the tools and knowledge in-house to successfully manage its procurement process.

Most importantly, by having all the data in-house, U.S. Lumber has complete control of the information and issues with reports and scorecards. The company is also able to immediately catch an order that was missed or billed incorrectly, and make necessary adjustments the same day.

About U.S. Lumber Group

U.S. Lumber Group is a specialty wholesaler of building-materials distributor with headquarters in Atlanta, GA. The company provides personalized customer service to more than 6,000 customers and currently distributes products from eight cost centers, providing service throughout 14 southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States. U.S. Lumber also distributes domestic and imported forest products from Europe, Canada, and South America.
