SAIC Announces Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2010- Revenues: Up 12 percent (11 percent internal) to $2.65 billion- Operating Income: Up 17 percent to $204 million- Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations: Up 16 percent to $0.29- Reaffirming Guidance for Fiscal Year 2010

SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAIC, Inc. , a scientific, engineering, and technology applications company, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended April 30, 2009.

After the quarter ended, the U.S. Department of Defense indicated that it intends to restructure the Future Combat Systems (FCS) program, which represents about 3 percent of the company's annual revenue. The company currently expects to have a significant role under the restructured program, but the level of effort and terms and conditions remain under negotiation.

"In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, we continued to demonstrate a pattern of solid program execution and financial performance," said Ken Dahlberg, SAIC chairman and chief executive officer. "I am especially pleased that the results were so uniformly positive. That is, all of our major metrics -- revenue, operating margin, earnings per share, and cash flow -- were robust, and virtually all of our business units met or exceeded our expectations. Although the potential restructuring of FCS provides some uncertainty, based on our strong market position across our wide business base, we expect fiscal year 2010 to be another solid year for the company."

Summary Operating Results

Revenues for the quarter were $2.65 billion, up 12 percent from $2.37 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Internal, or non-acquisition, growth represented 11 percentage points of the consolidated growth for the quarter. Key drivers of internal growth included the initial ramp of recent wins in defense logistics, information technology, cyber-security, and intelligence support as well as increased tasking on existing defense and intelligence programs.

Operating income for the quarter was $204 million (7.7 percent of revenue), up 17 percent from $174 million (7.4 percent of revenue) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Growth in quarterly operating margin percentage was driven by continued improvements in cost efficiency and contract fees. Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $117 million, up 11 percent from $105 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Income from continuing operations grew more slowly than operating income primarily because of a $7 million reduction in interest income net of interest expense and a $5 million reduction in other income resulting from joint venture activities and a gain on the sale of two venture capital portfolio investments in the year-ago period.

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations for the quarter were $0.29, up 16 percent from $0.25 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, driven by the increase in income from continuing operations and a lower share count compared to the prior year quarter. The diluted share count for the quarter was 397 million, down 3 percent from 410 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, due primarily to share repurchases made over the last four quarters. Diluted earnings per share, which include discontinued operations, were $0.28 for the quarter, up 17 percent from $0.24 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Discontinued operations include Telcordia Technologies, Inc., which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, and the Applied Marine Technology, Inc. products business, which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Earnings per share and share count figures quoted for fiscal year 2009 differ from those cited previously because on February 1, 2009, the company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities," which requires retrospective application to prior periods. Upon adoption, basic EPS from continuing operations, basic EPS, diluted EPS from discontinued operations and diluted EPS for the three months ended April 30, 2008 each decreased by $0.01. The new methodology had a similarly dilutive effect for the three months ended April 30, 2009.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $163 million (or 1.4 times income from continuing operations) compared to $14 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Cash collections continued to be strong as days sales outstanding (DSO) were 68 days, flat sequentially and an improvement of five days year-over-year.

During the quarter, the company used $223 million to repurchase approximately 12 million common shares including 11 million under the company's stock repurchase program and the remainder in recurring repurchases from employees in settlement of withholding taxes associated with stock option exercises and vesting events. Whether any future repurchases are made and the timing and actual number of shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including share price, corporate capital requirements, and other market conditions. As of April 30, 2009, the company had $898 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.1 billion in long-term debt.

New Business Awards

Net new business bookings totaled $2.6 billion in the first quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0. Net bookings are calculated as the current period ending backlog plus the current period's revenue less prior period ending backlog and backlog obtained in acquisitions. No bookings value is assigned unless the company has received a signed contract for a priced statement of work.

Large, competitive definite delivery contract awards received during the quarter include:

-- Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application/Composite Health Care System (AHLTA/CHCS) Support. Under a 30-month, $158 million task order, SAIC will provide engineering, logistics and sustainment support to AHLTA/CHCS to ensure the quality care of 9.4 million beneficiaries at more than 135 Military Treatment Facilities worldwide. Together, the AHLTA electronic health record and the CHCS integrated hospital information system enable the Military Health System to track clinical care and exposures of deployed units, monitor demand-management effectiveness, better understand disease prevalence and prevention, and study both clinical and management outcomes. -- Tactical Biometrics Systems (TBS) Support. SAIC was awarded a subcontract by Sensor Technologies Incorporated to support the U.S. Army Communications and Electronics Command by providing operations and user maintenance support to TBS. SAIC's subcontract has a four-year period of performance and a total contract value of more than $115 million. TBS devices collect fingerprints, iris scans, facial photos and biographical information on persons of interest. The biometric data is then matched against a database, potentially identifying wanted or dangerous persons. SAIC will provide operations and user maintenance support to help ensure continued, reliable technical support of TBS systems, peripherals and networks. -- Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) Support. SAIC received a five-year, $104 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide training support to the CDP. CDP offers all-hazards training at the only federally chartered weapons of mass destruction training center, catering to emergency responders from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. SAIC will design and develop emergency responder curriculum, provide qualified instructors to teach each course, and manage training logistics and sustainment activities. -- U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) Joint Capability Development Directorate (J8) Support. Under a five-year, $81 million task order, SAIC will support USJFCOM J8 in the areas of engineering, analysis, test, and evaluation. SAIC will perform work in the areas of command and control, capability engineering, system engineering and integration, capability portfolio management, and net-enabled command capability to help address the complex challenges associated with joint capability development. -- Hawaii Energy Efficiency Program Administration. SAIC was awarded a contract to administer the rate-payer funded Hawaii Energy Efficiency Program, helping Hawaiian residents and businesses become more energy efficient. The contract potentially runs through 2016; the contract has a value of $38 million for the first two years. SAIC will provide program design and implementation, customer incentives and rebates, new initiatives, interface with the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, and manage efforts concerning commercial, industrial, residential, and renewable energy programs.

In addition, SAIC also won several indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts that are not included in net bookings. The most notable IDIQ awards during the quarter were:

-- General Services Administration (GSA) Alliant. SAIC was awarded a prime contract on the Alliant government-wide acquisition contract from the GSA. Alliant is a multiple-award contract with a 10-year period of performance and a total ceiling value for all awardees of $50 billion. The scope of work includes all components of an integrated information technology solution, including future technologies that may emerge during the life of the contract. -- Simulation and Training Omnibus Contract (STOC II). SAIC will provide simulation, training and instrumentation services and products under STOC II, which was awarded by the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI). This ten-year, multiple-award contract has a total ceiling value of $17.5 billion for all awardees. SAIC will perform a full range of life cycle management to include front end analysis, design, development, fielding, and sustainment of training and testing systems, instrumentation, and gaming system simulators. -- U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) Support Services. SAIC received a contract to provide technical analysis and studies for programs and strategies for USSTRATCOM. This multiple-award contract has a five-year period of performance and a ceiling value of $900 million for all awardees. USSTRATCOM's missions include Space Operations; Cyberspace Operations; Strategic Deterrence; Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction; Global Command and Control; Global Strike and Integration; Information Operations; Integrated Missile Defense; and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.

The company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $16.7 billion, of which $5.7 billion was funded. As compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, total backlog increased 11 percent and funded backlog increased 6 percent. The negotiated unfunded backlog of $11.0 billion represents the estimated amount to be earned in the future from firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future expected task orders to be awarded under IDIQ or other master agreement contract vehicles.

Included within the backlog is approximately $0.1 billion in funded backlog and $1.0 billion in negotiated unfunded backlog related to FCS through the current contract end date of December 31, 2014. The company expects that it will soon stop work on the manned ground vehicle component of FCS but continue work on the system-of-systems integration component and the new technology spin-outs under a new or modified contract. The company expects that approximately $0.2 billion of the FCS backlog will be recognized as revenues throughout the remainder of fiscal 2010.

Forward Guidance

Despite the FCS developments, SAIC maintains a healthy backlog and a strong market position across its wide business base. Absent further disruptions in government funding, the company currently expects to achieve all of its long-term, average annual financial goals in fiscal year 2010:

-- Growing revenue internally in the six percent to nine percent range; -- Improving operating margin by 20 to 30 basis points until reaching a sustainable level between eight percent and nine percent; and -- Growing earnings per share from 11 percent to 18 percent.

Mark Sopp, SAIC chief financial officer commented, "The company has built a resilient and diversified base of business and new opportunities that enables us to reaffirm our expectation that we will achieve our long-term financial growth goals again in fiscal year 2010 despite the restructuring of FCS. The strength of this company lies not with one contract, but with thousands of contracts and 45,000 employees dedicated to solving our customers' most difficult problems."

INTERNAL REVENUE GROWTH PERCENTAGE CALCULATIONS (NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this release, we refer to internal revenue growth percentage, which may be considered a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate our internal revenue growth percentage by comparing our reported revenue for the current year period to the revenue for the prior year period adjusted to include the actual revenue of acquired businesses for the comparable prior year period before acquisition. This calculation has the effect of adding revenue for the acquired businesses for the comparable prior year period to our prior year period reported revenue. We use internal revenue growth percentage to monitor and evaluate our performance, and it is presented in this release because we believe that it allows investors to understand the portion of our revenue growth that is attributed to acquired businesses as compared to our internal revenue growth. This financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The method that we use to calculate internal revenue growth percentage is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled financial measures presented by other companies. Internal revenue growth percentages for the three months ended April 30, 2009 were calculated as follows: Three Months Ended April 30 2009 ------------------ Government segment: Prior year period's revenues, as reported $2,249 Revenues of acquired businesses for the comparable prior year period 20 ---- Prior year period's revenues, as adjusted $2,269 Current year period's revenues, as reported 2,536 ----- Internal revenue growth $267 ---- Internal revenue growth percentage 12% -- Commercial segment: Prior year period's revenues, as reported $118 Revenues of acquired businesses for the comparable prior year period 5 ---- Prior year period's revenues, as adjusted $123 Current year period's revenues, as reported 114 ---- Internal revenue growth $(9) ---- Internal revenue growth percentage (7)% -- Total: Prior year period's revenues, as reported $2,367 Revenues of acquired businesses for the comparable prior year period 25 ----- Prior year period's revenues, as adjusted $2,392 Current year period's revenues, as reported 2,649 ----- Internal revenue growth $257 ---- Internal revenue growth percentage 11% -- SAIC, INC.

The company's unvested stock awards are participating securities in accordance with FSP No. EITF 03-6-1. The statement requires retrospective application to prior periods.

Leading University Hospital Completes System-Wide Conversion to Masimo SET(R) Pulse OximetryStandardizing on Masimo SET Allows Clinicians to Overcome the Limitations of Conventional Pulse Oximetry, Offering Significant Clinical Advancements

IRVINE, Calif., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masimo, the inventor of Pulse CO-Oximetry(TM) and Measure-Through Motion and Low-Perfusion Pulse Oximetry, today announced it has completed the conversion of Duke University Hospital to Masimo SET pulse oximetry technology.

"Ultimately, the decision to convert to Masimo SET came down to what was best for patients," said Tony Caruso, Senior Director of Clinical Engineering, Duke University Health System in Durham, North Carolina. "It is critically important for us to access technologies that result in improvements in patient care. In this case, we believe we have improved our ability to increase detection of true clinical events earlier."

"In the emergency department, there are many times when we don't have time to second-guess our pulse oximeter performance, wonder whether the measurements we are getting are accurate, or take excessive time to obtain a reading," said Frank DeMarco, RN, emergency department clinical operations director, Duke University Hospital. "This technology offers us improvements over the system we had used previously and, hopefully, will contribute to more effective clinical operations."

Masimo Founder and CEO, Joe E. Kiani, stated, "We are happy to be the pulse oximetry standard-of-care solution chosen by the Duke University Hospital system to noninvasively and continuously monitor their patients. With the unprecedented accuracy and performance of Masimo SET, clinicians at Duke are afforded the opportunity to better monitor, manage and treat patients using advanced pulse oximetry capabilities that allow them to detect life-threatening events earlier."

About Masimo

Masimo develops innovative monitoring technologies that significantly improve patient care--helping solve "unsolvable" problems. In 1995, the company debuted Measure-Through Motion and Low-Perfusion pulse oximetry, known as Masimo SET(R), which virtually eliminated false alarms and increased pulse oximetry's ability to detect life-threatening events. More than 100 independent and objective studies demonstrate Masimo SET provides the most reliable SpO2 and pulse rate measurements even under the most challenging clinical conditions, including patient motion and low peripheral perfusion. In 2005, Masimo introduced Masimo Rainbow SET(R) Pulse CO-OximetryTM, a breakthrough noninvasive blood constituent monitoring platform that can measure many blood constituents that previously required invasive procedures. Masimo Rainbow SET continuously and noninvasively measures total hemoglobin (SpHbTM), oxygen content (SpOCTM), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO(R)), methemoglobin (SpMet(R)), and PVITM, in addition to oxyhemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and perfusion index (PI), allowing early detection and treatment of potentially life-threatening conditions. Founded in 1989, Masimo has the mission of "Improving Patient Outcomes and Reducing Cost of Care by Taking Noninvasive Monitoring to New Sites and Applications."

Cable MSOs Take a Shortcut to Compete with Telco IPTV, Report FindsInteractive TV services based on EBIF will enable cable operators to compete with telco IPTV before tru2way is available, says Light Reading's Cable Industry Insider

NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Rather than wait for tru2way to fully develop, cable operators are planning to roll out interactive TV services to compete with telco IPTV by deploying an existing technology that can deliver interactive features to legacy set-tops now being used by customers, according to the latest report published by Light Reading's Cable Industry Insider (http://www.lightreading.com/cable), a subscription research service from TechWeb's Light Reading (http://www.lightreading.com/).

EBIF: Cable's Practical Approach to Interactive TV examines the prospects and challenges of using Enhanced Binary Interface Format (EBIF) to deliver interactive TV services and profiles 19 suppliers that support EBIF activity in various ways. It includes an assessment of EBIF capabilities, pros and cons, deployment projections, the competition for interactive TV, and strategies and plans by MSOs, programmers, and suppliers.

For a list of companies covered in this report, please see: http://img.lightreading.com/cii/pdf/cii0609_companies.pdf

"EBIF represents the most promising opportunity for interactive TV on cable to date," notes Craig Leddy, research analyst with Light Reading's Cable Industry Insider and author of the report. "While tru2way requires new set-top boxes, cable operators can add EBIF to legacy digital set-tops and remain competitive with services such as Verizon FiOS TV, which is using its own version of EBIF to launch a wave of widgets."

EBIF deployments are widely viewed as a transitional initiative that will give way to tru2way once that technology is ready for mass-market deployment, Leddy says. "EBIF will serve as a warmup for tru2way, where richer apps can flourish in a Java-based OpenCable Application Platform [OCAP] environment," he explains.

Key findings of EBIF: Cable's Practical Approach to Interactive TV include the following:

-- About 15 million set-tops will be enabled for EBIF by year end, an amount that will nearly double in 2010. -- New specs (IO5) and a brand identity are in the offing to expand EBIF capabilities and awareness. -- Canoe Ventures plans to deploy an EBIF interactive advertising tool in the fourth quarter, and cable networks are trialing bound apps in programming. -- While EBIF only enables simple ITV, suppliers are seeking to use it as a gateway for IP, mobile, VoD, advanced advertising, and other robust platforms.

EBIF: Cable's Practical Approach to Interactive TV is available as part of an annual subscription (six issues) to Light Reading's Cable Industry Insider, priced at $1,295. Individual reports are available for $900.

The study finds that among consumers who plan to purchase a new vehicle within the next six months, interest levels are high for select entertainment- and connectivity-related features. For example, premium surround sound garners the highest interest rate among these near-term vehicle intenders (72%), while just 61 percent of consumers who plan on purchasing a new vehicle in two years or more indicate interest in this feature.

"Consumers nearing the final phase of the vehicle purchase process are often more well-versed on vehicle options and features than those in the early stages of shopping and likely have recently researched available vehicle specifications," said Mike Marshall, director of automotive emerging technologies at J.D. Power and Associates. "The increased familiarity of the possible benefits and conveniences of these technologies may lead to an increase in interest."

The study also finds that consumer interest in a navigation system is at 67 percent prior to the average market price being revealed, but falls to just 20 percent after the market price of $1,600 is known. However, among owners of premium vehicles, interest after the price is revealed is 45 percent.

Among those consumers who expressed interest in a navigation system, just one-third say they are interested in the lower-cost alternative of an off-board navigation system, which enables the driver to provide an address to a live operator and receive text or audible directions without a full-screen map integrated into a display within the vehicle.

"While the factory-installed options are considerably more expensive than an off-board navigation system, the price difference is not reflected in a proportionate decrease in consumer interest levels," said Marshall. "Among consumers who express interest in both types of navigation system, seven out of ten indicate they would choose a factory-installed navigation system rather than an off-board version--despite the cost premium."

The study also finds the following entertainment and connectivity patterns:

-- Among consumers who listen to their portable digital music player in their vehicle, more than one-half use an auxiliary input jack, while approximately 20 percent use a wireless FM transmitter. -- Nearly two-thirds of consumers indicate that they would like the ability to listen to a portable digital music player through their vehicle's speakers, while 27 percent express a desire to use a smartphone's music capabilities in conjunction with their vehicle's audio system. -- Among consumers currently utilizing their vehicle's Bluetooth functionality, initial interest for a wireless connectivity system in their vehicle is 68 percent, compared with just 47 percent among those who have this feature but do not utilize this technology in their vehicle.

The 2009 U.S. Automotive Emerging Technologies Study is based on responses from 19,249 U.S. consumers. The study was fielded in April 2009.

Feature Interest Before and After Market Price* Feature Consumer Interest *Interest Rank After market Price Blind Spot Detection 70% 2 ($500) Navigation System 67% 14 ($1,600) Active Cornering Headlight System 66% 1 ($300) Premium Surround Sound 66% 6 ($500) Portable Navigation Device 65% 10 ($400) Hybrid-Electric Capability 61% 8 ($5,000) Rear-Vision Camera System 57% 3 ($450) Satellite Radio 56% 5 ($12.95/mo) HD Radio 54% 7 ($200) Collision Mitigation System 52% 8 ($17/mo) Personal Assistance Safety Services 52% 11 ($1,500) Enhanced Adaptive Cruise Control 51% 16 ($1,500) Wireless Connectivity System 51% 4 ($250) Head-Up Display 48% 18 ($30/mo) In-Vehicle Internet Connection 48% 17 ($1,200) Advanced Telematics Services 44% 13 ($300/yr), 15 ($24.95/mo) Rear-Seat Entertainment System 36% 18 ($1,500) Lane Departure Warning System 35% 11 ($500) Automatic Parallel Parking System 29% 18 ($950)

Intersections Inc.'s IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection Rated 'Best in Class' in Javelin's 2009 Consumer Identity Protection Services ScorecardResearch Cites Superiority of Intersections' Proactive Identity Theft Protection Solution

CHANTILLY, Va., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intersections Inc. , a leading global provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services, today announced that IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection has been named "Best in Class" for Personal Information Monitoring Services in Javelin Strategy and Research's 2009 Consumer Identity Protection Services Scorecard. The comprehensive industry report evaluated more than 20 vendor services based on key factors such as customer service, product features, and overall product value with the conclusion that IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection provides "the most comprehensive protection for its product category."

"We are very pleased with the 'Best in Class' rating we received from Javelin's study. Our goal as a company is to empower consumers to take control of their personal and financial assets. We do this by providing them with the most comprehensive, user friendly services available," said Michael Stanfield, Chairman and CEO of Intersections Inc.

Since 2007, Javelin has evaluated and reported on the rapidly growing identity fraud protection services space. Each year, analysts thoroughly examine consumer perceptions, the effectiveness of the identity protection services market, and the new and existing solutions that are available to consumers. Evaluation of specific criterion is executed through extensive Web site review, mystery shopping (phone interviews with customer service representatives), and vendor interviews.

"IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection satisfies nearly all Javelin scorecard criteria and, therefore, offers the most thorough protection among personal information monitoring services," said Javelin Research analyst Rachel Kim. "Javelin believes that the combination of monitoring public records databases, Internet sites, and credit files from all three credit bureaus provides the most comprehensive resources for detecting exposure or potential misuse of personal information."

Some of the key findings in Javelin's Consumer Identity Protection Services Scorecard that support IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection 'Best in Class' rating include:

-- Among identity protection services, personal information monitoring and credit monitoring users rank themselves as the most satisfied, most likely because these products are the most interactive and involve sending alerts to consumers when unusual or potentially fraudulent activity is detected. -- Users of personal information monitoring like IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection are more than six times less likely to become a victim of identity theft than consumers who are not enrolled in any identity protection services.

In addition to its comprehensive service offerings, IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection was the only solution evaluated to provide unique services like ID Vault(R), a personal password protector; MOBILE LOCKBOX(R), a secure mobile storage device; and $1 million identity theft insurance that provides true coverage to members of the service. The report found that providing identity theft insurance through a reputable, third-party insurer rather than a general service guarantee is a product feature that provides greater peace of mind to consumers.

IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection is the most comprehensive offering on the market today covering personal information, credit reports, computer, Internet and mobile. It ensures consumers are focused on both prevention and detection. Unlike other competitor offerings, Intersections' IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection also covers public records like licenses, utilities, and court records not covered in credit reports. IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection is rated Best in Class by Javelin Research & Strategy (2009), and is PC World's top rated identity theft protection service (2008). Intersections, provider of IDENTITY GUARD(R) Total Protection, has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

Porter Novelli Urges Businesses and Organizations Worldwide to Harness Fast-Evolving Mobile TechnologyGlobal Communications Agency Releases New Report on "Mobile Lives & Times"

NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Global public relations leader Porter Novelli today released "Mobile Lives & Times," an in-depth exploration of the boundless opportunities and formidable challenges presented by lightning-fast changes in mobile technology. The latest in Porter Novelli's Intelligent Dialogue series, the report tracks mobile technology's hottest trends and examines the astounding impact they are making on business, government, health care, media and more.

"Given the choice, people want to be mobile," said Porter Novelli CEO Gary Stockman. "The flexibility is the ultimate allure. We need to acknowledge the benefits and drawbacks of a fast-paced mobile world in order to prepare for an even bigger revolution than we've experienced so far."

For "Mobile Lives & Times," Porter Novelli polled experts, pegged trend patterns and researched global data. Some key findings:

-- Personal use of mobile and wireless technology is unprecedented. Around 58 percent of the world's population has an active mobile subscription. The number has quadrupled in just the past six years. -- Location-based services create huge potential to learn about customers and increase marketing intelligence. Marketers' challenge: seize the opportunity without becoming intrusive or annoying. Mobile providers' challenge: monetize the opportunity effectively. -- Mobile is a stepping stone for developing countries. It's a cheap and accessible way to facilitate connections, improve access to health care and build local business. -- Health care is behind the mobility curve, but there is incredible potential to use the technology to improve deficient systems: streamlining data sharing; increasing the range and power of diagnostic tools; enabling off-site patient monitoring; lowering costs and much more. -- Teleworking is taking off: It's convenient and cost-effective for both employee and employer; it makes sense for the growing number of independent consultants and freelancers; it allows for globe-spanning team interactions and forecasts show it can lead to a huge reduction in carbon emissions. -- True device innovators thus far have been relative outsiders to the telecom game (RIM's BlackBerry, Apple's iPhone, Amazon's Kindle, Google's Android). -- Intrusive mobility is so widespread that new codes of behavior need to be agreed upon. And it's not just about bad manners -- it's also a matter of privacy, confidentiality and personal safety.

Said Porter Novelli Chief Marketing Officer Marian Salzman, "The 'Mobile Lives & Times' report gauges mobile technology's hold on how we live day to day from a personal standpoint, as well as mobility's effects on broader issues such as globalization, the economy, the health care industry, privacy, safety and more."

"Mobile Lives & Times" can be downloaded here. To get involved in a discussion about mobility, visit PNIntelligentDialogue.com.

About Intelligent Dialogue

The Intelligent Dialogue series contributes to Porter Novelli's goal of tracking consumers' shifting conversations and finding ways to influence them to the benefit of the agency's clients. Past Intelligent Dialogue issues are downloadable at PNIntelligentDialogue.com. They include:

-- "Change Is Now" (Winter 2008/2009), exploring the new drivers propelling consumer behavior and forecasting the trends for 2009 associated with those changes. -- "Cradle & Grave" (Fall 2008), examining global shifts in birth, health and death trends and raising questions about the strategic implications for organizations and individuals. -- "Millennials" (Summer 2008), examining the generation that is reshaping the workforce and consumption -- they're digital natives, the offspring of helicopter parents and the first beneficiaries and victims of a truly global world. -- "Prime Angst" (Spring 2008), exploring the ricochet effects of the subprime mortgage meltdown on the global economy and the ramifications for everyone from consumers to the marketers trying to sell goods and services in this challenging climate. -- An update, "Beyond Prime Angst," released in Fall 2008. About Porter Novelli

A global public relations leader, Porter Novelli was founded in 1972 and is a part of Omnicom Group Inc. . Selected as a 2009 PRWeek Agency to Watch as well as the 2009 winner of PR Innovation of the Year, Porter Novelli is the most buzzed-about large agency in the social media space.

-- 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

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.

Tinkn.com will utilize Acxiom's data to give users throughout the United States access to listings of local services, enhanced with personal experiences of other users. The site features a business rating system that assigns scores based on feedback and the number of reviews.

According to Tinkn.com co-founder Kristin Hartshaffer, this hyper-local rating system helps the best businesses stand out as users search for services in their neighborhoods. Though the site lists professional services such as attorneys and accountants, its primary focus on personal services such as daycares and nursing homes makes it unique among online directories.

"Relationships are at the heart of our business, so we couldn't have chosen a better partner," Hartshaffer says. "Acxiom's data is superb, but it's their commitment to forming mutually beneficial, long-lasting relationships that sets them apart."

The intelligence behind Tinkn.com is Acxiom's InfoBase-X(R) Telephone Directories - a product that offers the industry's most complete coverage and up-to-date listings. This solution is valuable to Tinkn.com because of its versatility - the same data that populates the directory can also be used to market the site to prospective advertisers.

"We offered Tinkn the type of data and flexible terms they needed," says Lisa Leslie, Acxiom sales executive. "For a growing business, we're adaptable. Not only do we support some of the world's largest corporations, but we also meet the needs of small businesses."

Tinkn.com was born out of necessity - cofounders Kristin Hartshaffer and Sean Hartshaffer had difficulties finding quality daycare for their children, veterinarians for their pets and a long-term care facility for a parent with Alzheimer's. After searching numerous online sites and finally relying on the recommendations of friends, they decided there had to be a better way.

"Our number one goal is helping others make informed decisions about the personal services that affect their lives," Kristin says. "Our partnership with Acxiom now enables us to achieve this. Their excellence in data integrity, coupled with their commitment to building the relationship, made it an easy decision for us."

About Tinkn.com

Tinkn.com's mission is to provide an online medium where users can instantly find the best services in their area and help businesses that strive to be the best to truly stand out. Tinkn.com is located in beautiful downtown Boise, Idaho. For more information about Tinkn.com, visit http://www.tinkn.com/.

Marquette County Residents to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionNew Cell Site in Marquette Means Clearer Reception, Fewer Dropped Calls

MARQUETTE, Mich., June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, which acquired Alltel in January, has activated a new cell site in Marquette that expands network coverage, enabling more Verizon Wireless and former Alltel customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls; send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; access the Internet; view high-quality videos; and download music, games and ringtones, while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

The new cell site expands the former Alltel voice and data network from Fair Avenue south to Grove Street, west to Wright Street and east to McClennan Avenue.

"The new cell site reflects our ongoing commitment to meet the growing needs of our customers and to provide them with the reliable, high quality service they expect," said Beth Drohan, vice president of network-Midwest Area, Verizon Wireless.

The new cell site in Marquette comes as Verizon Wireless is working to integrate its network operations throughout Upper Michigan and in all former Alltel markets throughout the country.

"Since the Alltel acquisition earlier this year, our network coverage has expanded considerably, providing Verizon Wireless and former Alltel customers with the largest 3G wireless network in the country," said Drohan. "Our goal is to continue to have a seamless transition for our former Alltel customers and provide them with the best customer experience on the nation's largest and most reliable network."

The new cell site in Marquette is tied to Verizon Wireless' effort to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in the Upper Peninsula and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $50 billion since it was formed - $5.5 billion on average every year - to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services.

MCLEAN, Va., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MicroStrategy(R) Incorporated , a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that it was selected by Grupo Media Capital for improved financial and operations reporting. Media Capital is a leader in the production and broadcasting of television programs and content in Portugal.

Media Capital uses SAP BW to store its financial and operations data and provide reports for its Executive Directors, CEOs, and Business Unit Controllers. The business users at Media Capital determined that its BI environment did not present data in a highly visual or interactive manner for decision makers. Media Capital evaluated several BI products to identify a versatile solution that offered rapid implementation and integration with SAP BW, as well as improved data analysis and visualization tools.

MicroStrategy was selected for its easy-to-use Web interface, intuitive information dashboards, and seamless access to the SAP BW system. The new MicroStrategy-based BI application, which is used in seven business units and Media Capital's holding company, has streamlined business processes. Media Capital management is able to quickly compare and analyze business results in a single dashboard for improved insights and enhanced decision making.

"We considered many BI products and found that MicroStrategy's platform easily integrated with our SAP BW system," said Luis Sanches, Controller, Grupo Media Capital. "Our objective was not to create a new database, but to use the existing data and ensure the reliability of the information."

"The MicroStrategy platform has streamlined the management of business information for us, improving data comprehension and providing immediate access to information by month, product, and/or business unit, with a simple click of the mouse," said Roberto Costa, Director of Control Management, Grupo Media Capital.

"MicroStrategy complements the SAP operational environment by providing rapid report development and outstanding query performance," said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy's COO. "We are finding an increasing number of SAP customers are turning to MicroStrategy to enhance their reporting and analytic capabilities."

KUWAIT CITY, June 3 /PRNewswire/ --

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), the Australian College of Kuwait (ACK) and the National Offset Company (NOC) announced the premiere of a state-of-the-art Maritime Simulation and Training Facility at the ACK campus today.

As a global leader in maritime systems and simulation training solutions, Lockheed Martin combined expertise from both arenas to provide customized high-tech maritime simulation and training devices to the facility.

The facility currently houses three maritime training simulators: vessel operations, port operations and global maritime distress and safety system simulators. The integrative capability between the simulators provides a revolutionary net-centric training ability to users. Initial course offerings will include bridge watchkeeping, coastal navigation, officer of the watch, advanced ship handling, maritime resource management and other advanced maritime related courses.

Lockheed Martin is the leading provider of maritime systems, and simulation and training solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense and international forces around the world.

"This state-of-the-art, multi-faceted training center will enhance the learning opportunities offered at ACK. We are excited for our students who will benefit enormously from this significant development," said Mr. Abdullah Al Sharhan, chairman of the Australian College of Kuwait.

Microsoft and Intel Demonstrate New Levels of Power, Price and Performance With CRM Scalability BenchmarkEnterprise-class scalability with reduced costs and environmental impact for on-premise and on-demand Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployments.

REDMOND, Wash., June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Microsoft and Intel Corporation announced performance results today for Microsoft Dynamics CRM that set new enterprise standards for scalability, cost and environmental sustainability. Through a combination of enterprise-class software and the latest Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor 5500 series, which can reduce server power consumption by up to 30 percent, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 scaled to more than 50,000 concurrent users over a high-volume workload - while experiencing subsecond response times.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

"Our business strategy is to make CRM technology that is simple, flexible and affordable for companies of all sizes," said Brad Wilson, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. "In this benchmark, we've proved that Microsoft Dynamics CRM can handle extreme workloads with minimal investment in hardware and a reduced impact to the environment. We're once again redefining the price-to-value equation in the CRM market, across all deployment models."

By comparison, an October 2008 performance test for Oracle Siebel Release 8.0(i) scaled to 14,000 users and 1.6 million daily transactions leveraging Sun hardware that cost more than $150,000(ii). The Microsoft Dynamics CRM benchmark scaled to more than 50,000 users and more than 2.9 million daily transactions - all from hardware that costs less than $35,000(iii), or $0.70 per user. In this comparison, Microsoft Dynamics CRM drove three and a half times more users and almost two times more transactions - while reducing hardware costs nearly 80 percent.

"Intel and Microsoft engineers worked together to optimize Microsoft Dynamics CRM for new Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor 5500 series-based servers with intelligent server technology capabilities and Intel Solid State Drives (SSDs)," said Boyd Davis, general manager, Intel Server Platforms Group. "This collaboration led to exceptional economic scalability and responsiveness results, which can enable companies of all sizes to deploy enterprise-class business solutions at a fraction of what these kinds of solutions have traditionally cost."

Detailed performance tests and production runs were completed on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft Windows SQL Server 2008 for 50,000 concurrent users, 5,000 concurrent users, 2,500 concurrent users, and 1,000 concurrent users. For scenarios with casual users or lower transaction rates per user, higher number of users can be accommodated. An executive summary of the performance and scalability benchmark is available by clicking here, and other white papers that outline the results of each test will be published in the coming weeks at http://crm.dynamics.com/.

The Dream Bigger campaign recognizes trailblazers in the Deaf Community and aims to celebrate the advances they have made. Whether it has been the breaking down of barriers or establishing new status quos, these Trailblazers have improved the overall quality-of-life for all members of the Deaf Community. The campaign will commence with an event on June 13 in Los Angeles, California. Lauren Teruel Ridloff, educator and former Miss Deaf America, will emcee 10 events that will celebrate and honor each of Purple Communication's 2009 Trailblazers in their own communities. Teruel Ridloff will also host the Dream Bigger Gala in Washington, D.C.

"Purple's own history has been one of realizing and exceeding dreams through its creation of cutting-edge technology services that make communication easier, enjoyable and more convenient for individuals in the Deaf Community," said Brandon Arthur, Vice President of marketing communications for Purple Communications. "The Dream Bigger program recognizes community visionaries who had the tenacity to fulfill personal dreams and lead the way for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people everywhere to pursue theirs. Each of these leaders is a trailblazer in their own right and we're honored to serve as a conduit for their stories of perseverance and success."

Meet the Trailblazers

As part of their selection, each Trailblazer was awarded a $1,000 cash prize from Purple Communications to be a paid as a donation to a non-profit organization of their choice and in their name as a way of paving the road for the next generation of trailblazers in the Deaf Community.

Purple Communications will announce the 2009 Trailblazer of the Year who was voted for by the Deaf Community and who best represents the essence of the Dream Bigger initiative at the Dream Bigger Gala in October 2009 in Washington, D.C. The recipient of the Trailblazer of the Year award will receive $10,000 to be donated in their name, to their non-profit organization of choice, as well as an all-expenses-paid vacation.

The Purple 2009 Trailblazers and Trailblazer of the Year nominees include: -- Howard A. Rosenblum, a Deaf civil rights attorney with Equip for Equality in Chicago, IL, strives for equal access for Deaf people and people with disabilities in everyday life, primarily in Illinois but also across the US.

Lockheed Martin and U.S. Air Force Mark Successful Sniper(R) ATP Site Activations at A-10C Units

ORLANDO, Fla., June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Air Force have successfully completed Sniper(R) Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP) A-10C site activations at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ, and Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany.

Sniper ATP site activations involve pod installation, maintenance and aircrew training. Coordinated with the Air Force Precision Attack Systems Project Office and Air Combat Command, Sniper ATP site activation efforts ensure maintainers are prepared to fully support the system in theater and that aircrews are proficient with pod operations and capabilities.

"The Sniper ATP represents a significant improvement in combat capability," said Lt. Col. Michael Millen, commander of the 354th Fighter Squadron, Davis-Monthan AFB. "With the addition of the Sniper ATP, the A-10C has realized a quantum leap in its ability to locate, identify, track and ultimately defeat targets across the modern battlefield. The A-10C with Sniper ATP is an incredibly lethal combination."

In its first month with Sniper ATP, 354th Fighter Squadron Airmen successfully utilized the new combat capability during two separate military exercises. During Exercise Emerald Warrior at Hurlburt Field, FL, A-10C pilots with Sniper ATP successfully supported a range of special operations forces missions. During Exercise Green Flag East, the crews successfully supported Army ground forces conducting urban combat training at the Army's Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, LA.

"In both exercises, Sniper ATP proved a tremendous asset due to its enhanced ability to track moving targets, as well as its capability to downlink full-motion video so that Joint Terminal Attack Controllers on the ground could fully assist in positive identification of all targets. In the final analysis, the A-10C with Sniper ATP truly delivered precision engagement," said Lt. Col. Millen.

Competitively selected as the Advanced Targeting Pod for the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, the Sniper ATP provides critical long-range, positive identification of both moving and stationary air and ground targets. It also possesses a video down link equipped with the widely used Rover ground receiver to relay high-resolution streaming video to forward-deployed forces for non-traditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and rapid target coordination.

"The Sniper pod delivers true precision engagement while increasing standoff, allowing for both greater lethality and increased survivability in a hostile combat environment," said Lt. Col. Millen.

Designed, developed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin, the Sniper ATP provides unrivaled precision engagement through its high-resolution, mid-wave forward-looking infrared (FLIR) and TV sensors, which operate in conjunction with a dual-mode laser, permitting eye-safe operation and precise geo-location in urban environments.

Sniper ATP is currently site activated at operational U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard F-16 Block 30/40/42/50/52, as well as all F-15E and B-1 bases. It is deployed in combat operations on F-16, F-15E, B-1 and Harrier GR7 and GR9 aircraft. At the close of 2008, over 500 Sniper pods were delivered or on order to the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard and 10 international air forces, including coalition partners.

Sniper ATP A-10C site activation efforts are scheduled to continue this summer at Moody AFB, GA.

With advanced integration across U.S. Air Force and multinational F-16, F-15, B-1, F-18, Harrier, A-10, B-52 and Tornado aircraft, the Sniper ATP's common software and hardware interface design enables users to "plug and play" across services and multiple platforms, providing a common software and hardware configuration across aircraft fleets for greater interoperability.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 146,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2008 sales of $42.7 billion.

Kaplan IT Learning Announces Lab-Based Emulations Added to Award-Winning Practice ExamsTranscender Practice Exams with Lab-Based Emulations Enhance Certification Preparation and Candidate Readiness

ATLANTA, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Transcender, a provider of award-winning exam preparation software for IT certification tests and a part of Kaplan IT Learning, today announced the release of lab-based emulations within its award-winning practice exams for the Microsoft Windows(R) Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring certification exam (83-640). The emulations are closely aligned with Microsoft's new lab-based emulations included in this exam.

Lab-based emulations are a specific form of performance-based testing (PBT) or "testing by doing." Ultimately, one of the best ways to test an individual's technical ability is to have them perform tasks or scenarios in a live or emulated environment. For example, within the 83-640 exam, certification candidates will now be required to complete specific tasks within an emulated Server 2008 Active Directory environment. Emulations differ from simulations in that simulations restrict test takers to a small number of expected paths to complete a task, whereas emulations allow any solution path, as long as the correct end-state is reached.

"Transcender practice exams with lab-based emulations reproduce a work environment that allows IT professionals to practice problem-solving, to make mistakes, but to make them in a safe environment," said Brian Sholly, President of Kaplan IT Learning. "They most accurately evaluate an IT professional's knowledge and skills by requiring the certification candidate to actually execute a series of tasks. The 83-640 practice test transforms test preparation into real world application experience. We believe that PBT makes certification programs more robust and more attractive to employers who seek certified professionals in their talent pool."

Transcender's Cert-83-640 practice exam includes eight robust lab scenarios. Each scenario consists of six to ten tasks and accurately reflects the types of scenarios that certification candidates will experience in the live exam. Cert-83-640 is available for immediate shipment to IT professionals around the world.
