Latin America's Smartphone Market to Grow to 150 Million Handset Units through 2014, says Pyramid

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Given the growing interest by operators in smartphones, intensified competition among vendors, and the greater potential for growth in Latin America compared with other regions, the region's smartphone segment will represent an opportunity of 150 million handset units over the next five years -- 48 million handsets units in 2014 alone, according to a new report from Pyramid Research (http://www.pyr.com/), the telecom research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network (http://www.lightreading.com/).

Smartphones in Latin America: Big Opportunities for Operators and Suppliers examines the potential for growth in Latin America's smartphone market, as well as the factors driving this trend, by analyzing operators' and vendors' strategies. The 14-page report provides Pyramid Research's five-year forecast on smartphone adoption in Latin America and looks at vendor positioning, focusing on three cases, Nokia, Research in Motion, and Apple, while also examining relevant moves by operators and the strategies of the major handset vendors in the market, including marketing campaigns and bundles. Download an excerpt of this report here: http://www.pyramidresearch.com/downloads.htm?id=5&sc=PR070209_INLA1.5. Handset Forecasts are also available for 18 markets in Latin America, tracking handset sell-through by technology, feature set, price tier, and vendor, providing market share for 5 to 6 vendors per country. Learn more here: http://www.pyr.com/mhfcst.htm.

The smartphone segment will become one of the most important sources of data revenue growth over the next five years in Latin America, notes Omar Salvador, Senior Analyst at Pyramid and author of the report. "The market is still in its infancy, representing only 3 percent of total handset unit sales in 2008; globally the figure was 12 percent," he says. "However, Pyramid predicts the segment will grow from 7 million smartphones sold in 2009, representing 5.4 percent of total handsets sales, to 48 million in 2014, or 30 percent of the total," he adds.

"Given that Latin America's mobile subscriber growth rate declined from 24 percent in 2007 to 19 percent in 2008, operators are more interested than ever in increasing their ARPS and encouraging smartphone uptake is an excellent approach to reaching that goal," Salvador says. "Vivo, the leading player in Brazil, recently highlighted how crucial the smartphone base is to its data revenue growth, while smartphone vendors are stepping up competition in the region with aggressive tactics, including handset bundles, new models, expanded entry-level portfolios, and close cooperation with operators," he adds.

If competition intensifies among vendors and operators, service bundling becomes more aggressive, the prices of entry-level smartphones fall below $100, and touchscreen phones become available in the midlevel price category, Pyramid believes smartphones can capture up to 39 percent of total handsets sales in 2014. "These growth drivers, supported by the growing 3G availability in Latin America, will push the Latin American smartphone market up toward the global average of smartphone handsets as a percentage of total handset sales," concludes Salvador.

Smartphones in Latin America: Big Opportunities for Operators and Suppliers is part of Pyramid Research's Latin America Telecom Insider report series. Telecom Insiders are packed with trend analysis, industry best practices, market sizing and forecasting, competitor analysis, and case studies, providing you information you can leverage to make better business decisions.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020822/XLNXLOGO) -- June quarter sales are expected to be down approximately 5% sequentially. This is a revision from previous sales guidance of down 4% to up 4% sequentially. The shortfall in sales is primarily due to supply constraints on certain Virtex-5 devices that are in high demand. We currently expect most of the existing delinquency issues to be resolved in the September quarter. -- Gross margin guidance of 61% to 63% and operating expense guidance of flat to slightly down sequentially remain unchanged.

No conference call will be held in conjunction with this guidance revision. Additional commentary pertaining to the quarter will be available when the company reports its first quarter financial results on July 15, 2009.

Aehr Test Systems Receives Another Order for Its New Advanced Burn-in and Test System (ABTS(TM))

FREMONT, Calif., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aehr Test Systems , a leading supplier of semiconductor test and burn-in equipment, today announced it has received an order for its new Advanced Burn-in and Test System (ABTS) from a leading US aerospace company. The system is configured for burning-in and testing high pin count logic devices.

"This will be our first shipment of a high pin count system. It will be used for reliability testing of complex logic for aerospace and military applications," said Greg Perkins, vice president of worldwide sales and service at Aehr Test Systems. "The customer's primary need is the flexibility to provide 32M vectors on all 320 I/Os in the system plus the ability to capture per pin device failures while doing test during burn-in. We have sold the ABTS into a wide range of Test and Burn-in applications in both Asia and Europe."

The ABTS family of products is based on a new hardware and software architecture that is designed to address not only today's devices, but also future devices for many years to come.

Omega Medical Solutions Selects Allscripts Practice Management and Allscripts Payerpath Revenue Cycle ManagementSouth Carolina Medical Billing Company Offers Clients an Integrated Practice Management and Online Claims Clearinghouse Solution

CHICAGO and MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allscripts announced today that Omega Medical Solutions, a Myrtle Beach, SC-based medical billing and consulting agency, has selected Allscripts Practice Management and Allscripts Payerpath(TM) claims management solution for its physician practice clients across South Carolina and the surrounding states.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081013/AQM041LOGO)

Omega selected Allscripts based on their experience using other practice management solutions and watching Allscripts Practice Management move to the forefront with high-value updates focused on simplifying and speeding client workflows, according to Lori Chavis, a partner in Omega Medical Solutions. At one point, Omega performed a side-by-side speed test involving Allscripts and other major practice management solutions, and Allscripts "won hands-down, 2-to-1," Chavis said.

"Being in the billing business, it's important for us to process data accurately, but we also have to do it as quickly as possible," said Chavis. "We will support more clients with less, do it consistently, and with the highest of quality and quantity. This not only benefits us but allows us to provide our clients with a state of the art practice management system and maximum reimbursement at lower cost."

Allscripts Practice Management is the most advanced medical practice management system available today. Combining sophisticated billing and scheduling tools in a single package, Allscripts Practice Management's user-friendly interface and extensible design help provide a fast return on investment for any practice size.

Allscripts Payerpath claims management is a complete revenue cycle management solution that provides an easy-to-use, secure method for electronically submitting insurance claims to payers quickly, accurately and cost effectively. Claims are uploaded from the practice management system to the Network Operating Center (NOC) where payer, specialty and HIPAA-specific edits are applied. Claims that pass all edits are sent to the individual payers for processing and claims that fail any edits are immediately available for correction prior to payer submission.

Payerpath is used by thousands of physician groups across the U.S. to process more than 260 million claims annually and 500 million revenue cycle management transactions.

Combining the two solutions in a single package enables Omega to automate tasks for their clients that would otherwise require back-and-forth shuffling between their practice management system and claims clearinghouse software. Now when Omega updates a claim in Payerpath, the information is immediately and automatically updated within Allscripts Practice Management - saving time and ensuring more accurate claims submissions for prompt payment.

Payerpath's point-of-service verification of insurance coverage is another "huge value proposition," said Chavis. "In this economy, more and more patients have lost insurance or changed insurance and they often don't share that information with the front desk. Now our clients can push a button while working in Allscripts Practice Management and have that information immediately available from Payerpath. That's almost priceless."

Allscripts Chief Executive Officer Glen Tullman commented, "Omega Medical Solutions has demonstrated strong leadership by providing their physician clients - including many of our own clients - with the practice management and revenue cycle management capabilities they need to thrive in today's challenging healthcare market. As the nation's largest physician-focused claims clearinghouse, our Payerpath solution in particular gives Omega's clients the credibility, experience and results that payers demand, which means they get reimbursed for their services more quickly and with less hassle."

"The important factor here is the integration between the electronic health record and the billing system," added Warren Ratley, M.D., Vice President of Physician Services for Conway Physicians Group, an integrated physician network affiliated with Conway Medical Center in Conway, S.C., that is both an Omega client and a user of Allscripts Electronic Health Record and Practice Management. "It's critical that we have an all-in-one product to support the development of a community health network with practice management and electronic health records and as many physicians as possible in the community on the same system so they can provide better patient care."

Omega will deliver both Allscripts Practice Management and Payerpath to their clients over the Internet via the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, a simple, affordable means of delivering vital patient information to caregivers without the upfront costs of purchasing new equipment to host the solution themselves. The SaaS model also speeds deployment and is becoming an increasingly important option for mid-size and independent practices.

About Omega Medical Solutions

Omega Medical Solutions is a full service medical billing and consulting company. Omega was founded on the basis of integrity, honesty and respect for the medical practice. Every practice deserves the experience, tools and professionalism it takes in today's market to collect every dollar available through their reimbursement process. The staff of Omega Medical Solutions is professionally and specifically trained to handle the ever-changing difficulties associated with a professional medical practice.

Landstar Announces the Acquisition of Two Supply Chain Transportation Integration Companies

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Landstar System, Inc., a safety-first non-asset based provider of transportation capacity and logistics services, today announced the acquisition of two supply chain transportation integration companies, Premier Logistics, Inc. (Premier) and A3 Integration LLC (A3i).

"Today is a very exciting day in the continuing evolution of Landstar," said Landstar President and CEO, Henry Gerkens. "These two technology-based acquisitions immediately position Landstar as a premier supply chain solutions provider for small and large customers alike in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) environment. Landstar independent sales agents will now be able to offer customers complete integrated supply chain solutions with industry-leading technology. Additionally, our third-party capacity should benefit from increased loading opportunities created through this new service offering."

Premier, based in Detroit, Michigan, will remain under the leadership of Scott Taylor as President. Premier provides dynamic freight management services for customers through its proprietary Web-based software. Through its operating subsidiaries, National Logistics Management (NLM) and Interactive Capacity Gateway LLC (ICG), from purchase order to delivery, the Premier solution includes Web-based bidding, scheduling, shipping, tracking and reporting, allowing customers complete real-time visibility to follow their inbound and outbound shipments from pickup to destination.

Taylor brings more than 30 years of industry experience in transportation and software solutions. In 1989, he founded NLM to support the management of critical and dynamic freight. Under his leadership, Premier's operating entities have received numerous awards and recognition for their innovative use of technology in the freight management industry.

A3i, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, will provide customers with state-of-the-art Web-based transportation and supply chain management technologies to optimize the complete order-to-cash process. The A3i solution offers shipment optimization, carrier visibility and supply chain event management, all with multi-lingual, multi-currency and multi-modal capabilities.

Lorne Darnell, one of the principal officers and founders of A3i, will continue in his role as President. Darnell's experience in the software and logistics industries totals more than 25 years. He is the former CEO and co-founder of LogiCorp Inc., the first non-asset based, 3PL company in the automotive manufacturing industry, and has served in various management positions at Ford Motor Company and Rockwell International. He also co-founded and served as president of Data TV Networks, Inc., a software company dedicated to the development of interactive solutions for digital cable TV.

Continued Gerkens, "Premier and A3i provide complementary transportation management solutions that, together with Landstar's existing information technology platform, place Landstar on the cutting edge of the transportation and logistics industry. Scott Taylor and Lorne Darnell bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to Landstar and I am very pleased to have them join Landstar's management team."

Both companies will operate as separate subsidiaries of Landstar Supply Chain Solutions, Inc., a newly-formed Landstar company to be headed by Landstar Global Logistics, Inc. President, Jim Handoush.

During the 2009 second quarter, Landstar incurred approximately $2.0 million in costs related to these acquisitions. These one-time acquisition related expenses will be reflected in the 2009 second quarter income statement and will reduce the 2009 second quarter diluted earnings per share by approximately $.02 per diluted share. The Company expects that the acquisitions will not have a material effect on its revenue and earnings for the third and fourth quarters of 2009.

Environmental Tectonics Corporation Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Results

SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Environmental Tectonics Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: ETCC) ("ETC" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 which ended on May 29, 2009.

Net Income

The Company had net income of $770,000 or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted), during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to a net loss of $(1,491,000), or $(0.19) per share (basic and diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, representing an improvement of $2,261,000. The improvement reflected a significant increase in gross profit (despite slightly reduced sales performance) coupled with lower selling, general and administrative as well as research and development expenses. Acting as partial offsets were higher interest and other expenses.

The company also had earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense ("EBITDA") of $1,853,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 versus a negative EBITDA of $(499,000) for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Sales

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $9,581,000 as compared to $9,975,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a slight decrease of $394,000 or 3.9%. As the table below indicates, significant increases were realized in the U.S. Government and International categories but were offset by a decline in domestic sales.

Domestic Sales

Domestic sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $1,959,000 as compared to $5,322,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of $3,363,000 or 63.2%, reflecting significant decreases in all Control Systems Group product areas. Environmental products (down $1,502,000, 80.1%), hyperbaric products (down $631,000, 50.1%) and sterilizer products (down $1,485,000, 87.2%) all reflected the impact of the economic downturn. Environmental products, whose domestic commercial market is primarily automotive, suffered from the severe contraction of the three major U.S. car manufacturers. Hyperbaric and sterilizer performance reflected the restriction of liquidity in the economy for new projects or capital expansion. Domestic sales represented 20.4% of the Company's total sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, as compared to 53.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

U.S. Government sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $1,836,000 as compared to $991,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of $845,000, 85.3%, and represented 19.2% of total sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 versus 9.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Significant increases were evidenced in the environmental line on a chamber contract with the U.S. Army and aircrew training system sales primarily due to a large U.S. Navy disorientation device contract.

International Sales

International sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which include sales in the Company's Polish subsidiary, were $5,786,000 as compared to $3,662,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of $2,124,000 or 58.0%, and represented 60.4% of total sales, as compared to 36.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Favorable international performance reflected higher simulation sales (up $1,136,000), and higher aircrew training systems sales (up $747,000, 26.8%), both primarily for contracts in the Middle East.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $4,427,000 as compared to $2,495,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of $1,932,000 or 77.4%, despite slightly reduced sales. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was 46.2% compared to 25.0% for the same period a year ago. The gross margin dollar increase followed the sales increase in both governmental and international sales partially offset by the reduction in domestic sales. Higher gross margin tracked with the higher sales performance in U.S. governmental environmental and aircrew training systems product sales and international simulation and aircrew training systems product sales. Favorable gross profit rates as a percentage of revenues were evidenced in all geographic categories with domestic up 8.1 percentage points, U.S. Government up 21.9 percentage points, and international up 29.7 percentage points. Product-wise, the primary contributor to the rate increase was favorable rates on international aircrew training products.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $2,856,000 as compared to $3,313,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of $457,000 or 13.8%. The decrease primarily reflected legal costs as the prior period included a reserve for a potential legal settlement. Acting as partial offsets were increased commissions and bad debt expense.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses, which are charged to operations as incurred, were $228,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to $295,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The reduction reflected higher government grants in the Company's Turkish subsidiary in the current quarter coupled with lower development in the environmental division. Most of the Company's research efforts, which were and continue to be a significant cost of its business, are included in cost of sales for applied research for specific contracts, as well as research for feasibility and technology updates.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $516,000 as compared to $436,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, representing an increase of $80,000 or 18.3%. This increase reflected higher interest expense on a higher average loan balance (up approximately $4,000,000 from quarter to quarter) and higher amortization expense related to the beneficial feature of the Company's subordinated debt and the value assigned to warrants which were issued with the subordinated debt as part of the Company's February 2003 refinancing.

Other Income/Expense, Net

Other income/expense, net, was a net expense of $55,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 versus a net income of $61,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The prior period reflected proceeds from a property damage claim.

Staten Island Residents Benefit From Verizon Wireless 3G Network ExpansionNew Cell Site Added to Keep Residents Connected to Text, Email, Music and Mobile Web

ORANGEBURG, N.Y., July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Wireless calling, text messaging and surfing the Mobile Web on the Verizon Wireless high-speed 3G network will be easier and faster for the Staten Island residents and visitors this summer thanks to the activation of a new cell site in Wolfes Pond Park.

The new cell site improves network coverage and capacity along Richmond Parkway from Foster Road to Hugenot Avenue and along Ellesworth Avenue from Ramona Avenue to Deisius Street.

With the improved network coverage, customers can use their wireless devices to send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; view high-quality videos; and access VZ Navigator's turn-by-turn directions, while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls. The Verizon Wireless network also is built for reliability during emergencies, such as power outages and extreme weather conditions, with redundancy capabilities in place to maintain service for customers when they need it the most.

These network enhancements are part of Verizon Wireless' aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for the company's voice and data services. Verizon Wireless spent $238 million to enhance services and coverage throughout metro New York and New Jersey in 2008, bringing total network investment to more than $2.2 billion in the region and more than $50 billion nationwide since 2000.

"We've always believed even the most advanced cell phone is only as good as the network it runs on," said Pat Devlin, regional president. "Our 3G high-speed Mobile Broadband network is the largest and most reliable in the United States, and field tests are underway that will enable us to become the first wireless company to offer commercial LTE (Long Term Evolution)-based 4G service in the U.S., starting in 2010."

Demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2009 when the company reported a total of 86.6 million customers, an increase of 28.8 percent year over year. The company continues to lead the industry in customer loyalty rates and, for the sixth consecutive year, also led the industry in customer satisfaction in the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey.

During the first quarter, Verizon Wireless customers sent or received an average of 1.4 billion text messages each day, totaling more than 127 billion text messages. Customers also sent nearly 2.1 billion picture/video messages and completed 48.6 million music and video downloads during the quarter.

Nationally, Verizon Wireless' real-life test men and women drive more than 90 specially-equipped vehicles nearly one million miles each year on the country's most frequently traveled roadways to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. 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.

TSMC Unveils First Commercial 65-Nanometer Multi-Time Programmable Non-Volatile Memory Technology

HSINCHU, Taiwan, July 2 /PRNewswire/ --

- Provides greater design flexibility and higher performance

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) today announced the foundry segment's first functional 65-nanometer (nm) multi-time programmable (MTP) non-volatile memory (NVM) process technology. The technology incorporates process-qualified MTP IP blocks jointly developed with Virage Logic. The new technology is the first 2.5 volt MTP process, breaking the heretofore 3.3 volt baseline barrier. It eliminates the need for an external EEPROM currently in many systems applications, thereby reducing power, area and costs while increasing data security.

Built on TSMC's 65nm Low Power (LP) process, the new MTP technology features up to 8k bits memory size that is ideal for small memory requirements associated with MP3 music downloadable digital rights management, RFID devices, fingerprint identification applications, and pre-paid cash or phone cards.

The 65nm MTP process is built up to 10 metal layers using copper low-k interconnects and nickel silicide transistor interconnects. The technology is fully logic-compatible and the NVM memory requires no additional processes or masks. Devices built using the process will support full read and program operations across temperatures ranging from -40 degrees C to 125 degrees C, with minimum 10-year data retention at 125 degrees C.

"With inputs from customers' design needs, we are convinced this 65nm process is well-suited for applications that require a small memory footprint on a leading edge manufacturing technology," explains Jason Chen, vice president Worldwide Sales and Marketing for TSMC.

"TSMC and Virage Logic have worked together on the 65nm MTP process to bring true multi-time NVM programmability to such market segments as security and wireless where advanced process adoption is crucial," said Dr. Yankin Tanurhan, vice president and general manager, NVM Solutions, Virage Logic. "Because AEON is based on a standard logic CMOS process, it requires no additional masks or processes which eliminates the costly manufacturing steps normally involved with floating gate memory while reducing the engineering effort and associated costs of integrating NVM into SoC designs."

TSMC 65nm Process Technology

Since TSMC first announced commercial availability of its 65nm process in 2006, the company has shipped over 700,000 12-inch wafers manufactured in its Fab 12 and Fab 14. The full 65nm process node includes logic, mixed-signal, R/F, and high-density memory options and supports a broad range of computing, communications, and consumer electronics applications.

The 65nm LP process is ideal for cellular baseband, as well as portable applications and multimedia processors. The 65nm general-purpose (G) process targets graphics, networking and high-end ASIC fabrication, while the high-speed process is intended for CPU and advanced graphics processors. The 65nm LP plus G process that offers both low power and general purpose devices on the same wafer, supports wireless and portable applications requiring both low power and high performance.

TSMC's 65nm node also supports an embedded DRAM option for high bandwidth, fast data rate designs found in high-speed consumer applications and in very small form factor handheld devices.

All TSMC 65nm processes are supported by the company's Design Support Ecosystem featuring DFM-compliant products and services; by TSMC Reference Flow design methodology; and by a variety of process-proven TSMC and third party IP libraries including a memory compiler, I/O and standard cell libraries.

About TSMC

TSMC is the world's largest dedicated semiconductor foundry, providing the industry's leading process technology and the foundry's largest portfolio of process-proven libraries, IP, design tools and reference flows. The Company's total managed capacity in 2008 exceeded 9 million 8-inch equivalent wafers, including capacity from two advanced 12-inch - GigaFabs(TM), four eight-inch fabs, one six-inch fab, as well as TSMC's wholly owned subsidiaries, WaferTech and TSMC (China), and its joint venture fab, SSMC. TSMC is the first foundry to provide 40nm production capabilities. Its corporate headquarters are in Hsinchu, Taiwan. For more information about TSMC please visit http://www.tsmc.com.

Interoperability a Key Enhancement of AVEVA Marine

CAMBRIDGE, England, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- AVEVA (LSE:AVV) announced today that it has made further enhancements to its AVEVA Marine portfolio.

With a main focus on interoperability, this new release of the AVEVA Marine portfolio now offers AVEVA's marine customers extended possibilities for data exchange between various sources.

AVEVA Marine users will now be able to integrate P&IDs and schematic diagrams coming from various systems, including the AVEVA P&ID solution.

This brings a real benefit to customers as they are now free to select their P&ID system from various sources and even to integrate P&IDs from other authoring systems into a complete model of their project.

AVEVA Marine now also offers a completely new Mechanical Equipment Interface product using the Step AP203 format. This allows AVEVA Marine users to easily import mechanical equipments from various sources - generally generic or mechanical CAD systems - and utilize them in the model as any Outfitting component. Equipment models, like main engines, compressors or pumps can now be directly supplied by the manufacturer and placed with great accuracy in the 3D model, thus reducing the risk of errors.

Finally, more interoperability between Plant and Marine Outfitting can be achieved as data in both databases is now made fully exchangeable. This will allow customers using AVEVA's solutions both in the plant and the marine sectors to share their models in a much easier way. As an example, FPSO designers and builders will now be able to share the same data model for the Outfitting part of the vessel and the top-side. This leads to reduced design time and better consistency between top-side and floating platform design.

Bruce Douglas, Vice President of Marketing and Product Strategy at AVEVA said:

"AVEVA Marine is an integrated solution for shipbuilders, ship designers and ship operators. It allows engineers and designers on multiple sites to concurrently create, control and manage change to engineering, design and production data as a project is developed, in the most productive and risk-free way."

Richard Longdon, CEO of AVEVA said:

"Earlier this year, we announced the introduction of AVEVA Instrumentation and AVEVA Diagrams to the plant and marine portfolios. These products, plus the latest enhancements, have further strengthened the AVEVA Integrated Design and Engineering offer both to our ship operators and shipyards clients.

"For ship operators we have an Operations Information Integrity solution that delivers real cost savings. And for ship builders and ship design agents, our Integrated Project Execution solution saves time and money during the project."

Davantage de membres de l'équipe peuvent participer aux réunions et collaborer à partir de n'importe quel endroit dans le monde >>, a déclaré John Landau, Vice-Président-Directeur des Services gérés de Tata Communications.

<< Nous avons l'intention de mettre la téléprésence à la disposition du plus grand nombre d'utilisateurs grâce à notre réseau mondial de salles de téléprésence publiques et notre suite de services de réseaux de téléprésence gérés pour les entreprises. Notre partenariat avec Starwood est une étape importante vers la réalisation d'une telle vision >>, a-t-il ajouté.

<< Starwood bénéficie d'une réputation de novateur dans le secteur de l'hôtellerie et il est primordial que nous continuions à élaborer nos offres destinées aux réunions pour qu'elles répondent aux besoins des clients d'aujourd'hui >>, a déclaré Christie Hicks, Vice-Président des ventes mondiales pour Starwood. << Le partenariat avec Tata Communications est pour nous une nouvelle occasion de proposer une technologie innovante et avant-gardiste à nos biens immobiliers et d'ajouter une forte valeur à notre activité et aux équipements de conférence de nos clients. >>

<< Face à la pression croissante en faveur de la productivité au moindre coÃ»t que connaissent les entreprises, le besoin de salles de téléprésence publiques est plus important que jamais. La téléprésence disponible à la demande permet une communication abordable de haute qualité aux petites et moyennes entreprises ou aux employés de bureau à distance ou régionaux. En raison de la nature décentralisée des opérations aujourd'hui, sans le déploiement de salles de téléprésence publiques, la téléprésence ne pourra jamais atteindre le volume significatif nécessaire pour réaliser le plein potentiel de cette technologie vidéo. Tata Communications investit activement et construit des salles de téléprésence publiques afin d'aider à atteindre ce potentiel et répondre aux besoins des lieux de travail du monde entier >>, a déclaré Paul Waadevig, consultant senior chez Unified Communications, Frost et Sullivan.

La téléprésence Cisco offre des équipements de conférence de haute définition dotés d'une qualité audio, vidéo et environnementale supérieure permettant aux participants de rencontrer leurs collègues, clients et partenaires commerciaux autour d'une table virtuelle comme s'ils étaient tous présents physiquement. L'installation publique offre aux utilisateurs qui ne possèdent pas de salles de téléprésence dans leur entreprise l'accès à cette technologie avant-gardiste à un taux horaire de location raisonnable. Tata Communications dispose de plusieurs salles publiques opérationnelles en Inde (Bombay, Bangalore (x2), Madras, Hyderabad, Delhi et Gurgaon), au Royaume-Uni (Londres) et aux Ã‰tats-Unis (Boston), et a récemment révélé un accord pour gérer une salle publique à Manille pour PLDT aux Philippines.

Tata Communications est le seul à offrir un réseau de téléprésence complet certifié Cisco constitué de services d'hébergement et de gestion au sein de réseaux privés, entre les premières salles publiques du monde et bientôt avec un échange de téléprésence ouvert et mondial. Cette année, Tata Communications projette de lancer son service d'échange de réunions mondiales qui supportera les sessions interentreprises de manière opportune entre les salles de téléprésence (publiques ou privées) qui auront souscrit au service, quel que soit le fournisseur de services de réseau. D'une expérience privée intra-entreprise, la téléprésence est passée à une structure pionnière de services mondiaux qui permet aujourd'hui de soutenir la solide demande de sessions ouvertes interentreprises. Le magazine European CEO a élu Tata Communications fournisseur de services de téléprésence le mieux géré de l'année.

Overstock.com Reinstates California-based Internet Affiliate Advertisers Based on Governor's VetoGovernor's Office Reassures: 'No New Taxes.'

SALT LAKE CITY, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. today reversed its decision to drop its California-based affiliate advertisers following an afternoon call from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Office, during which the discount e-tailer was assured that the Governor's rejection last night of the affiliate nexus tax bill will stand.

The Governor's Office spoke directly with Overstock.com's Chairman and CEO, Patrick Byrne. "We couldn't be more pleased to have been directly told," Byrne stated, "that the Governor is going to focus on balancing the budget via cost cutting, and not by jamming consumers and small businesses with new taxes. I compliment Governor Schwarzenegger on getting it right."

Overstock.com responded by assuring the Governor that it would turn back "on" the advertising feeds from its California-based affiliate advertisers, that only last night it announced it would turn off.

"This is a business-friendly, consumer-friendly, and citizen-friendly stand," noted Byrne. "California has a great history for welcoming internet innovation. This decision is evidence that California intends to continue on that path."

Byrne went on to state that the Governor's Office emphasized that the Governor understood that this issue impacts the state's business reputation, which the Governor wants to remain strong.

"So long as the Governor's feet are planted in concrete, so are mine," said Byrne. "We much hope that legislators of other states now toying with the enactment of similar anti-consumer legislation will follow the California lead."

Yesterday Overstock.com also canceled affiliate advertising contracts in the states of North Carolina, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. Rhode Island's new law is effective; North Carolina and Hawaii have passed legislation, but those states' governors have not yet signed them into law. If those states follow Governor Schwarzenegger's lead, then Overstock.com intends to restart the advertising feeds from its affiliate advertisers based in those states.

comScore et la GSMA remportent le prix M.E.F. de veille économique en médias mobiles

LONDRES, July 2 /PRNewswire/ --

- Une étude primée, réalisée en collaboration avec des exploitants mobiles du Royaume-Uni, apporte une plus grande clarté aux mesures des médias mobiles et publicitaires

comScore, Inc. (Nasdaq : SCOR), leader en mesures du monde numérique, et la GSMA, entité qui représente l'industrie mondiale des communications mobiles, ont annoncé aujourd'hui avoir remporté le prix convoité de veille économique lors des Meffys Awards 2009, qui se sont tenus le 27 mai, au club Florodita de Londres.

Le prix décerné par le Mobile Entertainment Forum a été attribué à comScore et à la GSMA en collaboration avec tous les exploitants du Royaume-Uni, mettant ainsi en lumière l'innovation technique dans le domaine de la mesure du média mobile et de la publicité, en utilisant des données d'audience mobile réelles, anonymes, et agrégées. Le gagnant était sélectionné selon les résultats d'une étude de faisabilité, comprise dans le programme << Mobile Media Metrics >> de la GSMA, qui a mis au point un processus de mesure pour le furetage sur mobile qui respecte la vie privée des utilisateurs mobiles et qui fournit une riche planification de l'information pour les médias et les communautés publicitaires.

<< comScore se réjouit de recevoir ce prix en collaboration avec la GSMA, Telefonica O2 UK, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile International, et 3 >>, souligne Paul Goode, vice-président directeur de comScore, Mobile Census Solutions. << Le prix de veille économique souligne l'engagement de la GSMA et des exploitants mobiles à développer des mesures et des analyses qui supportent les médias mobiles, ce qui fait augmenter la transparence et la responsabilité des médias, et permet de faire augmenter les investissements publicitaires dans ce méda >>.

<< La GSMA et ses membres s'engagent à concevoir une solution de mesure qui encouragera la croissance dans les médias mobiles, au profit des consommateurs et de toutes les parties prenantes de l'industrie mobile >>, affirme Henry Stevens, directeur média et divertissements de la GSMA. << comScore innove techniquement en nous aidant à atteindre nos objectifs, grâce à la mise au point d'une solution de mesure qui permettra aux exploitants de fournir des mesures d'une grande valeur à l'industrie, tout en respectant la vie privée des consommateurs grâce à l'anonymisation irréversible de toutes les données concernées. De façon toute aussi importante, comScore a continué de tenir ses promesses à toutes les étapes du projet, et nous somme très fiers de recevoir cette reconnaissance conjointe de la part de l'industrie pour ce projet >>.

Rimma Perelmuter, directrice exécutive du MEF, explique : << Toutes mes félicitation à comScore, à la GSMA, et aux exploitants du Royaume-Uni pour les progrès qu'ils ont permis de faire en métriques de mesure d'audience destinées au marché du Royaume-Uni; ceci aura assurément un impact de taille sur l'industrie >>.

Ã‰tude de faisabilité sur les mesures de média mobiles

Les résultats de l'étude, basés sur un échantillon de données anonymes provenant d'exploitants mobiles du Royaume-Uni, ont révélé que les sites des opérateurs continuaient d'attirer le plus grand nombre de visiteurs en décembre 2008, avec 68 pour cent d'utilisateurs mobiles qui ont visité les portails des opérateurs. Google a été la plus importante destination de portail non-opérateur, et Facebook s'est avéré Ãªtre le site mobile auquel on consacrait le plus de temps à fureter, suivi d'autres sites de réseautage social importants. Au total, la fréquentation de plus de 167 000 sites Internet mobiles a été observée au cours de l'étude de faisabilité.

Transmission de données d'audience multiplateforme unifiée

Ce prix est le résultat de l'inauguration récente de Media Metrix 360 par comScore, une nouvelle << approche hybride à affichage centrique >> aux mesures d'audiences en ligne qui combine les mesures au niveau de la personne avec des métriques de serveurs de sites, qui offrent une visibilité dans tout l'univers de l'usage Internet, y compris les appareils mobiles. Cette faculté fait de Media Metrix 360 le parfait complément à la mesure de recensement centré sur le réseau, comme celle introduite par l'étude de faisabilité primée.
