London, 3rd July 2009 - Charities, trade bodies and public sector departments are amongst the organisations recognised for their innovative and creative Internet projects at last night's Nominet Best Practice Challenge 2009 awards ceremony at the Banqueting House, Westminster, London.

The aim is to share the best practice illustrated by innovative Internet achievements from the UK and inspire the other countries participating to follow these successful models.

This year's winners showcase a variety of world-class projects from Screenreader.net, a small organisation that has created a free software tool to help the visually impaired get easy access to the Internet, to the British Library, which has developed an interactive online tour that is central to its exhibition about individual freedom in the UK.

The categories and respective winners are:

• Best Development Project: Rafi.ki provides an online community for secondary schools that enables pupils and teachers from around the world to work on education projects.
• Best Security Initiative: Business Crime Reduction Centre has implemented a broad range of e-security initiatives and provides practical advice to small to medium enterprises.
• Raising Industry Standards: Internet Service Providers' Association has raised the standards of the ISP industry by promoting competition, better self-regulation and tackling issues of concern to the public.

• Special Award: Get Safe Online campaigns to educate, inform and raise awareness of Internet security issues amongst consumers and businesses. The judges praised its good interagency relationship with the private sector.

Lesley Cowley, CEO at Nominet says: "This year's entrants are of a high quality and show that the Internet industry in the UK is leading the world in addressing important issues such as digital inclusion and safety online. The self-regulatory environment in which this industry has thrived continues to enable such exciting projects to take root and grow. We are confident the other countries attending this year's IGF meeting in Egypt will be impressed and will be keen to find out more details about the BPC winners' projects."

The Rt Hon Alun Michael MP said: "The Nominet Best Practice Challenge Awards is a great resource for the Internet industry both nationally and internationally. It enables us to highlight exceptional initiatives which range from minute companies with just two employees to major companies, charities and public initiatives. Sharing this learning and best practice is what Britain's contribution to Internet governance is all about."

Eton, UK - 3rd July 2009 - InterSystems Corporation yesterday announced that the States of Jersey Health and Social Services Department has selected InterSystems TrakCare™ to facilitate an island-wide Integrated Care Record supporting its acute, community, mental health and social care services. Key deliverables within the first phase of this project include the TrakCare Patient Administration System, Maternity, Accident and Emergency, Theatres modules and Mental Health Law Administration. Pharmacy will be provided by InterSystems' partner, JAC.

Having secured funding to complete the initial ‘foundation' phase of the project, the Jersey Health and Social Services Department will now start exploring ways to raise the capital to embark on the next phase, in which the Integrated Care Record will be extended to support TrakCare Order Communications and Results Reporting, Community, Adult Social Care, Care Planning and Care Pathways. Electronic prescribing will be provided by JAC.

The scope of the project also includes integrating data from 15 different departmental systems, including Laboratory, Radiology and PACS, and the existing Child Health application using InterSystems' rapid integration platform, Ensemble™, which is an integral part of the TrakCare solution.

When completed, Jersey's Integrated Care Record will be one of the first in the UK to allow its Health and Social Services Department to provide full support for all patients wherever and whenever they need care.

A growing elderly population, combined with the need to sustain more complex and diverse treatments, were key drivers in the Health and Social Services Department decision to invest in a truly Integrated Care Record. Implementing TrakCare will allow for the creation of a single patient index for all the island's residents and facilitate better communication between care providers across all sectors. Giving all support staff access to a single, integrated record will ensure they always work with the most up-to-date and comprehensive patient information, thereby improving decision making and enhancing the standard of care.

Future options being discussed include Jersey working with the island's independent Primary Care doctors to provide them with access to the central TrakCare Patient Master Index, and to enable their use of the TrakCare Electronic Patient Record Summaries, Referrals, Scheduling, Results Reporting, and Order Communications.

Commenting on the integrated system, Mike Pollard, Chief Executive, Jersey Health and Services Department said: "We chose TrakCare after a rigorous evaluation and procurement process and are confident it will provide the foundation we need to ensure our health service benefits from the very latest in information technology. The fact that TrakCare will provide us with a single, integrated record that extends beyond the acute environment and across all our departments really attracted us to the solution, and I am delighted that we have secured the necessary funding to complete the initial phase. Its deployment will lead to improved data quality and provide far better support to all our professional staff, enabling them to offer a far superior service to our patients, wherever they are operating."

Graham Frost, Managing Director Northern Europe, InterSystems said, "We are pleased to support States of Jersey in this phased delivery of a fully integrated, single healthcare solution that will bring many benefits to both patients and clinicians. The provision of citizen's healthcare records at any point of care on the island is the holy grail that most large healthcare organisations are seeking and now Jersey will be at the forefront of illustrating how this can be achieved and delivered rapidly. TrakCare is an advanced Web-based healthcare information system that rapidly delivers the benefits of an Integrated Care Record since its application modules seamlessly connect with existing legacy systems and other best of breed applications. It has the flexibility to provide a complete, enterprise-wide clinical and administrative solution that supports users throughout the care continuum."

TrakCare is currently used by leading hospitals, community care facilities, laboratories, and governments in 25 countries worldwide.

Bournemouth, UK (3rd July 2009) - ESET warned today that with Conficker appearing at the top of ESET's monthly threat report once again, users still are not taking basic steps such as timely patching and disabling Autorun to protect their computers and themselves from cyber attack. Conficker is not the only malware to hang around long after a patch has been released; massmailers such as Netsky, Mydoom and Bagle still linger on, although in much smaller numbers, years after patches and antivirus definitions have been released. However, Conficker, being less reliant on direct social engineering, should really be declining in impact by now after all the publicity it has received.

"I would guess that right now, much of the continuing prominence of Conficker in the ratings is due to lots of machines, mainly home machines or botnetted business machines, that are never patched or properly protected by AV," comments David Harley, Director of Malware Intelligence for ESET in a recent blog post. "This is often because the owner doesn't bother with all that, or maybe sometimes because of a longstanding infection that's blocking patches and updates and has never been noticed."

While ESET has effective detection for Conficker, it is important for end users to ensure that their systems are updated with the Microsoft patch, which has been available since the end of October, so as to avoid other threats using the same vulnerability. Information on the vulnerability itself is available at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/ms08-067.mspx

Patching has been a big issue this year: Adobe, having been faced with a spate of spear-phishing and other attacks carried by their document formats, eventually made a noticeable effort to improve its update mechanisms and bring them somewhat into line with Microsoft's Patch Tuesday mechanism. There was grumbling that Microsoft itself was a little slow updating a vulnerability in Excel which affected not only several Excel versions, but Excel document viewers as well.

"It's important to note," adds David Harley, "that it is possible to avoid most Conficker infection risks generically, by practicing "safe hex": keep up-to-date with system patches, disable Autorun, and don't use unsecured shared folders."

Date: 3rd July, 2009

Objective Corporation today announced it has signed a major software and services contract with the Welsh Assembly Government. The contract will deliver an enterprise-wide solution that will position them at the forefront of Public Sector best practice information management.

The contract is expected to have a value of approximately A$10m (£4.6m) to Objective over a five year period and is being undertaken in partnership with Siemens IT Solutions and Services, the Assembly's prime contractor.

Tony Walls, CEO, Objective Corporation said: "This is a significant achievement for Objective in the UK and it demonstrates that our commitment to the Public Sector and to long-term direct customer relationships continues to be valued in the market.

"It is a privilege to be trusted by the Welsh Assembly Government to deliver a programme of this significance and scale."

Objective's solution will be rolled out to 6,500 users at multiple sites across Wales. It will provide the Welsh Assembly Government with a robust and effective information management infrastructure.

"The Welsh Assembly Government will become one of the largest enterprise-wide deployments of eDRMS in the UK Public Sector. Coupled with our leadership position within the Scottish Government, this contract will extend our offering to a larger segment of UK regional government," said Mr Walls.

The Welsh Assembly Government is the devolved government for Wales, responsible for most of the issues of day-to-day concern to the citizens of Wales, including the economy, health, education and local government.

Their commitment to being an open and transparent government means that legislative compliance is a key driver for the Welsh Assembly Government to implement Objective.

Dr. Tony Jewell, Chief Medical Officer, Welsh Assembly Government and the Senior Responsible Officer for the programme said: "The primary focus for us is to introduce a solution that will ensure we are wholly compliant with information management legislation both now, and in the future.

"Objective's software, expertise and proven commitment will help us to meet these compliance requirements and at the same time enable improvements in effectiveness that supports the delivery of better services to the citizen of Wales."

The need for timely access to complete and accurate information together with accountable and legislatively compliant information management is all-pervasive for such a high-profile organisation as the Welsh Assembly Government.

Previously the Welsh Assembly Government relied on traditional methods of information management such as paper-based filing and basic IT systems. By replacing and modernising these with Objective's single source of the truth, the Welsh Assembly Government will be ensuring that public information assets are controlled, safe and available when needed.

Objective worked extensively with the Welsh Assembly Government to conduct several projects prior to entering into this agreement. The success of these projects influenced the government's decision to implement the solution enterprise-wide.

"We selected Objective because of their successful track record in government in the UK, their demonstrated commitment to us and to working in Wales. Their best practice approach complements our long-term development strategy and represents a sound investment for our future," said Dr Jewell.

Tony Walls said: "Following our recent acquisition of Limehouse Software and the signing of a strategic agreement with the UK Central Office of Information, our contract with the Welsh Assembly Government cements the positive progress of our European operations.

"We look forward to working closely with the Welsh Assembly Government to ensure we deliver valuable results that will help enhance services to the Welsh community at a lower cost."

Computer fraud detection and deterrent software provider Unity Solutions, a Leigh-based IT systems house, says that with Lanxoma in place the rogue trading deal at PVM Oil Associates which caused oil prices to spike this week, could have been averted.

Manoj Patel, managing director of Unity said: "With Lanxoma fraud detection software in place, any dealer could have required authorisation in order to trade beyond a pre-set level, for example. In the event that the trade had still occurred a complete recording of every mouse move, keyboard stroke and sound would be made and available for play back in real time to establish the true facts of what happened. Lanxoma's visually intelligible audit trail and recordings are admissible in a court of law and a very strong deterrent."

Lanxoma is believed to be the world's first system which can be used to automatically trigger controls on access to computer systems under user-controlled conditions, such as a trading limit, or IT worker making database changes.

Lanxoma was invented by Unity Solutions in order to tighten auditing controls over IT workers and protect systems from malicious or fraudulent activity at one of the worlds largest healthcare companies.

About Unity Solutions and Lanxoma www.lanxoma.com

Lanxoma was developed by the in-house software research and development team of Unity Solutions in the UK in response to the auditors' requirement of a global pharmaceutical manufacturing company, a long-term client of Unity Solutions. Unity Solutions (UES Limited) was established in the U.K. in 1999 and rapidly established a global client base for its utilities and tools for ERP users.
Headquartered in Leigh, Cheshire, Unity Solutions also has a US subsidiary operating in Clearwater, Florida.

Eduardo's Foods LLC, a US manufacturer and marketer of premium Latin dairy foods, has deployed an integrated labelling solution from Episys, the global information technology solutions and services company, to ensure that the correct information is clearly labeled on all its products.

Eduardo's Foods LLC has adopted Ultimate™ from Episys to manage the complex process of producing detailed product information on both labels and signs to comply with strict legislation from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regarding ingredient regulations. Labels and signs are produced and shipped together to ensure that all goods are merchandised correctly.

Edward Pereyra, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Eduardo's Foods, said, "We needed a solution that allowed us to quickly produce labels in-house as speed to market was an issue. Previously all artwork for our labels was outsourced, and this was neither a cost or time effective procedure. Since implementing Ultimate we are able to create our own artwork in-house and this has dramatically reduced our costs and saved the business time."

Pereyra continued, "Due to the nature of our business, we have to comply with food labeling regulations. We can do this easily with the new system. We felt Episys was the only company that was able to meet our requirements and provide the solution we needed, and they have also helped our business by supplying us with custom made labels, which were pre-printed and shipped to a very tight deadline - they proved themselves to be agile and flexible."

Peter Lewis, Marketing Director at Episys, said, "We are delighted that Eduardo's Foods has decided to implement our Ultimate system. We recognised the company's requirements and worked closely with the team in order to meet its objectives. We look forward to a long relationship."

About Eduardo's Foods LLC
Our main objective is to set ourselves apart from our competitors in terms of product presentation, quality and flavor authenticity. Most Hispanics are used to buying cheese in a deli format, so we present our products in meat and plastic trays. We avoid the mass market appearance of Multi-Vac packaging and provide the consumer with expertly made dairy foods that taste the way they did in their homeland.

The Don Eduardo brand features blue and white labeling for our Central American products and green, red and white for our Mexican products. Using color to differentiate within a single brand name has proven to be a successful strategy in Mexico and other Latin American countries. We believe that our fresh packed, deli looking products are being presented at the right time for the market. The products appear upscale, but the pricing will remain competitive.

At Eduardo's Foods, LLC we live by three main rules:

• Make great tasting and authentic products - We will grow our business by making products that taste just like they do in the consumer's homeland.
• Make safe, high quality products - Our plants are AIB inspected and HAACP approved.
• Take care of our customers - We will provide the best possible customer service.

We began rolling out our products in private label form and have only recently begun to launch our brand, Don Eduardo. So far, distributors and retailers have welcomed us with open arms. Consumers are trying our products and sales are brisk. We hope you will consider making our product line part of your ethnic dairy foods line up.

Humphries Kirk, one of the largest law firms in Dorset is to implement SOS Connect case management and practice management accounts software from Bath-based Solicitors Own Software for 150 users. The review of the firm's IT needs was prompted by the withdrawal of support and 10 year age of the existing AIM system. The goal however is to improve on the status quo and take the firm forward with a modern, flexible and easily adaptable computing environment.

Humphries Kirk has 15 partners and operates from offices in Bournemouth, Poole, Dorchester Wareham and Swanage and has a presence in London and Yeovil. As well as providing a full range of services to private clients, the practice has a strong international commercial arm and specific expertise in intellectual property, employment and the construction industry.

The law firm evaluated legal software from five suppliers and drew up a shortlist of SOS Connect and the IRIS planned replacement for the AIM system, which is currently in development.

There were a number of factors in favour of SOS. Head of administration and partnership secretary Rosemary Lewis comments: "As the provision of legal services gets more competitive we are keen to consolidate, refine and improve our business processes and efficiency across the board. With SOS Connect we could very readily see how to realise the potential of the software to move the firm forward. SOS Connect is also tried and tested and has facilities to simplify and speed up the migration from the old system, which were also important considerations. We liked the SOS people too and believe we will get great assistance to not simply replace what we have today, but to review and improve on our processes across the multiple offices."

Implementation plans for the autumn are being drawn up but Humphries Kirk can see that standard modules in SOS Connect such as for probate and conveyancing will deliver early benefits, as longer term decisions on customising workflows to precise requirements evolve.

David McNamara, managing director of SOS said: "Firms are needing to improve all operational aspects of the business and their competitiveness ahead of the impact of the Legal Services Act. SOS Connect is rapidly gaining a reputation for helping law firms operate as efficiently and effectively as possible and we look forward to helping Humphries Kirk to achieve their goals."

The UniServity cLc Learning Platform empowers School Leaders in Harrisburg, the State Capitol of Pennsylvania, USA, to become the first School District in the USA to respond to President Obama's 21st Century learning challenge by developing an online web 2.0 collaborative learning partnership with students in Egypt.

Harrisburg School District (HSD), is at the forefront of using technology to innovate and enrich the learning experience by providing learners with new 21st Century global collaborative learning opportunities. Harrisburg Mayor Stephen R. Reed has announced the new initiative connecting Harrisburg students with students in Cairo, Egypt, using the powerful social learning tools of the UniServity cLc (connected Learning communities) Learning Platform. Mayor Reed shared his announcement and educational vision to an audience of leading international educationalists and thought-leaders at the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) in Washington D.C.; the largest Educational Event in the USA.

Mayor Reed's announcement is a dynamic response to U.S. President Barack Obama's recent address at the UniServity of Cairo, when President Obama articulated his vision to connect American learners with foreign learners, stating, "I want students in Kansas working with students in Cairo."

"Students today must be prepared to become part of a global community," said Reed. "As Thomas Friedman has written, ‘the world is flat.' It is no longer enough for our students to learn basic skills such as reading and writing. They also need to be able to apply them in new ways through new technological options, and more importantly, they need to be able to use 21st Century higher learning skills to work with others worldwide."

"Harrisburg is the first city in the United States to implement the UniServity cLc city-wide," said Reed. "Through the support of private and corporate donors and philanthropic foundations working with the Harrisburg Public School Foundation (HPSF), the implementation of this 21st Century learning platform has become possible, and will radically alter the way many of our City's youth are learning."

The first phase of the partnership will involve Harrisburg Schools developing an online arts, cultural, and social learning project facilitated by UniServity and Dr. Gerald W. Kohn, Superintendent of Harrisburg Schools, who commented, "This is only the beginning of the phenomenal learning opportunities that will be made available to our students through the implementation of the outcome-proven cLc."

Dr. Lisa Paige, Executive Director of the HPSF added, "When we became aware of President Obama's call to action, UniServity moved quickly to connect us with educational leaders in Cairo." In just a couple of weeks the initial ideas for collaboration between US and Egyptian Schools have become a reality. Dr. Nermien Ismail, Administrator, The American International American School in Cairo has confirmed the School's participation in the partnership and has flown to Washington DC to meet Harrisburg School leaders and members of the UniServity Educational team during the NECC event.

Alan Wood, CEO, UniServity, added, "UniServity is very proud to welcome both Harrisburg and Cairo schools into the growing cLc social learning community of circa. 1.5 million learners and teachers in 21 countries around the world. Harrisburg and Cairo School Leaders share our vision of transforming the learning experience and extending learning opportunities for all learners. In addition, I'd like to pay tribute to the Harrisburg Public Schools Foundation and the generosity and support of their donors and philanthropic foundations who have given learners in their community a new world of authentic and enriching learning opportunities beyond the traditional walls of the classroom."

Date: 2nd July, 2009

Specialist manufacturer of integrated PC-based touchscreens, LCD touchscreen monitors and point-of-sale hardware J2 Retail Systems (J2) and its software partner LOIS Systems have revealed details of the multi-channel solution they have put in place for the apparel retailer, Robert Goddard.

Robert Goddard is an independent clothing business with stores located in Wisbech, Spalding and Ely. Each sells womenswear, menswear and accessories from leading design houses in Europe and America. Formal and casualwear ranges include covetable brands such as Gant, Tommy Hilfiger, Ted Baker, Lacoste and Lyle & Scott.

Run for several generations as a family concern, Robert Goddard was recently purchased by young entrepreneurs Oliver Tookman and James McAlinden. They set about layering contemporary technology and new marketing ideas over the traditional values of service, selection and quality that had generated Robert Goddard's perennial appeal. "We were very keen to implement the most cost-effective and productive system on the market," explains Oliver Tookman.

In addition to having a leading-edge EPoS system in each of the stores, the new management's main objective was to create an online presence, enabling customers to purchase with confidence from home. To streamline operations across store-based and web-based channels, Tookman and McAlinden looked for an integrated EPoS and e-commerce solution that would run the entire business. Their search led them to LOIS Systems, whose software and services can guarantee a transactional web presence and point-of-sale performance, all supported by a single technology.

LOIS composed a modular, all-in-one solution to meet Robert Goddard's needs. Seamless interaction between shop and web was a prerequisite. Two fully-managed web sites were created, of which the primary one is linked into stockholding in the three stores. This integrated, live stock management system provides the backbone for all computing processes and for the business.

Next came the selection of integrated PC-based tills for each of the stores. LOIS Systems' chosen partner was J2 Retail Systems.

As Steve Waller, Managing Director of LOIS Systems, comments: "The J2s are aesthetically pleasing units, fanless and silent. We were happy to recommend them as we know them to be reliable and really durable." The J2 hardware works perfectly with the LOIS software, which was designed for touchscreen operation.

Ease of use was important, so the team looked for a system that was intuitive, reduced the likelihood of errors, and enabled staff to focus their time on selling, not on managing complex stock control processes. The system also had to be ‘fit for purpose' and tailored to the apparel sector. The LOIS system was developed inhouse by a fashion retailer that was unable to find an appropriate tool. It has significantly evolved and remains grounded within real world of retail, combining technical innovation with practicality.

"We are thrilled with both LOIS and J2," enthuses Oliver Tookman.

At the heart of the LOIS system is live integration of stock across the stores and online. This can be monitored minute-by-minute to optimise sell-through rates, and removes any reliance on overnight polling. Stockholding is managed from the company's head office and uses intelligent selection to fulfill online orders, taking into account the different products held in each shop and reducing the amount of stock that needs to be held. Warehouse functionality allows supplier orders to be input and easily managed. Centralised stock control means that separate warehouses are not needed for the two channels to market.

Inter-store messaging and sophisticated reporting functions give the owners the insight they need to move and fine-tune stock based on sales performance. The availability of live reporting via speed dial displays is a good motivator, as staff across the stores observe each other's performance and compete to outsell them.

The tills have turned out to be the perfect vehicle for the LOIS system, plus touchscreen functionality eliminates the clutter of a keyboard and a mouse at point-of-sale where counter space is needed for wrapping goods. States Oliver Tookman: "We were very keen on the space-saving of an integrated system. The processor is fast enough for every job we need it to do and we were impressed when we realised how quiet the units are."

By concentrating the till user onto the screen rather than a keyboard, the management team has seen how touchscreen operating allows for better customer interaction and less error. "Touchscreen operation is fantastic and it looks impressive." The tills do much more than manage accounting processes; they provide the owners with a complete working environment. The units have been linked into a CCTV camera system in each store, so with controlled access, it is possible to see what is going on right across the business. This is an ideal tool where a small number of key individuals need have a complete handle on a multi-site business.

J2 retail Systems http://www.j2retailsystems.com/
J2 Retail Systems is a specialist manufacturer of PC-based touchscreens, LCD touchscreen monitors and point-of-sale hardware to the retail, hospitality and leisure industries. Now with an installed base in excess of 70,000 units, J2 has become the EPoS hardware of choice for growing businesses looking for an unbeatable cost of ownership, a wide product range, innovation and exceptional reliability. Users range from bakers to cinemas, and wine merchants to nightclubs and restaurants.

With inhouse designers and manufacture to its individual specifications, products can be customised to client needs and environments. This includes wired or wireless operation, thin or thick client, stand-alone or networked operation. Optional swipe for payment cards and operator ID checking via card swipe or biometric fingerprint recognition are available. J2 supports both resistive and infra-red touchscreen technology.

LOIS Systems www.lois-systems.co.uk
Specialist retail solutions provider, LOIS Systems, conceived its software and services from the shop floor upwards. The company's origins are in fashion retail and it was for the requirements of its Little London Boutique that development took place. Unable to source an appropriate system off-the-shelf, LOIS created one that is simple to use and rich in functionality.

LOIS keeps up with new trends and efficiencies in both IT and retail and, today, new retailer partners are using the LOIS system and helping the company to broaden its scope. The result is a one-stop solution that is agile enough for single stores and comprehensive enough for the largest multi-store enterprises.

Logical processes flow in conjunction with normal retail functions. Their pivot is a single, integrated stock management system, which enables retailers to manage product across stores, mail order and the internet in real-time. This universal, multi-channel approach minimises stockholding and maximises efficiency.

Thunderhead, recognised innovators in document automation and multi-channel communications solutions, today announced that the company had been acknowledged as the highest scoring vendor for overall strategy in “The Forrester Wave ™: Document Output For Customer Communications Management, Q2, 2009” (June 2009) report.

Forrester thoroughly evaluated Thunderhead and 11 other vendors based on the strength of their current offerings, strategy and market presence across three main market segments: Structured, Interactive and On-Demand. Thunderhead distinguished itself through its commitment to XML standards and vision for multi-channel communications, achieving recognition as a “strong performer” in the overall Forrester Wave™ and receiving the highest score for its corporate and product strategy.

Further, Thunderhead was recognised as the sole leader in the Interactive segment, achieving top scores for both its current offering and its corporate and product strategy. According to Forrester, “Thunderhead leads innovation in the rapidly growing interactive segment.”

The interactive segment includes all content that requires human intervention, such as customer correspondence and negotiated documents like group insurance policies, benefit guides, or derivative and margin contracts, and is widely acknowledged as the most rapidly growing segment in the market. As a result, it is not surprising that Thunderhead also achieved top marks in the report for its revenue growth.

In addition, Forrester’s report cites how Thunderhead's unique separation of content and design enables companies to simplify how they manage customer communications across multiple delivery channels. “The XML core avoids conversion to a proprietary format and maintains a broader set of information for downstream multi-channel management, including email, fax, print, SMS, and HTML,” the report adds.

“We are delighted to have received such strong recognition from Forrester,” said Thunderhead CEO Glen Manchester. “We are extremely pleased to be recognised as the leader in DOCCM interactive output, a segment that is driving growth in our industry and is at the heart of our client’s customer communication strategies.”

“Further, we are well positioned in the on-demand segment and are also very pleased that Forrester recognises our support for the structured applications required by our financial services customers, such as policy issuance, wealth management statements and renewals.”

Manchester added, “We believe this independent research report validates the fact that, while Thunderhead clearly delivers the high-volume print output capabilities that all of our clients demand, we have focused our go-to-market activities on the more strategic and rapidly growing interactive market and on providing our clients with the most robust solution on the market for delivering highly personalised, multi-channel communications to improve customer engagement in all use cases: structured, interactive and on-demand.”

In line with Optima Products' corporate responsibility and environmental awareness policies, the innovative glass partitions company has come up with a new, eco-friendly way of getting vital information to its clients.

London, UK - Optima Products is now using an ingenious and eco-friendly alternative to the heavy paper version of their Designer's Guide.

The Designer's Guide contains in-depth information on office partitioning and other architectural and construction issues spread out over 100 pages of A4. In previous years Optima Products printed in excess of 1000 copies of the Designer's Guide for its glass partition customers and associates. To bring the production of this year's Designer's Guide in line with the glass partition company's energy efficiency and waste minimisation policies, Optima Products will be providing this fantastic portfolio of information on a small and stylish USB storage device.

This new system will save thousands upon thousands of sheets of paper, not to mention large envelopes, as well as cutting down on the huge postage costs that come with sending out bulky paper packages. This, in turn, cuts down on the amount of fuel used for delivery of the Guides, reducing Optima Products' overall carbon footprint.

Shaped to resemble a capsule pill, the new USB format Guide will help thousands of Optima Products clients by ‘taking the pain out of detailing.' It includes:

• The full Designer's Guide
• 3D interactive Explore-a-Product technical specifications
• Detailed CAD drawings (.dwg files) for designers and architects
• Optima's Project Photo Galleries
• 3D animations of the Deflection head and Nebula joint solutions
• In-depth case studies of Optima's latest projects
• Links to Optima's highly popular Optiman game

The new USB format Designer's Guide is the latest in a long line of ingenious ideas from the glass partitions specialist to curtail the environmental impact of Optima Products business activities.

Managing Director, Nigel Westray said, "Our products are installed in the offices of some of the most prestigious companies in the UK, companies who are totally committed to Environmental Management, and it is only right that we meet or exceed their standards of environmental best practice".

Optima Systems' environmentally ethical practices recently earned the company IS014001 accreditation for its Environmental Management System and the glass partition company has also drawn up plans to make further emissions reductions across all sectors.

Paper copies of the Designer's Guide will still be available this year by request; however Optima Products aims to faze them out entirely over the coming years.

Leading enterprise mobile workforce technology group, 1st Touch (www.1sttouch.com) has signed a partnership agreement with software and services group ROCC (www.rocc.co.uk). As a result of the partnership, 1st Touch has fully integrated their widely acclaimed Mobile Workforce system with ROCC's leading Uniclass Social Housing solution to deliver a best of breed management solution for social housing organisations.

The partnership is seen as a natural development, as the two companies have already worked closely together providing cutting edge social housing solutions for Powys Council, 2010 Rotherham and Morrison plc.

ROCC is the leading supplier of housing repair systems with over 500,000 social housing properties in the UK; currently being managed using ROCC's Uniclass social repair systems. The integration with 1st Touch's Mobile Workforce technology means that social housing organisations are now able to obtain a complete solution to meet their needs.

The 1st Touch system manages, supports and controls mobile operatives across all aspects of housing management including: property maintenance, inspections, mobile service provision, asset management, responsive repairs, utilities (gas and electric) and performance monitoring together with voids and contract management. 1st Touch Mobile uses low-airtime usage, "Smart Client" technology that automates the links between the field-based mobile operative's PDA and the housing organisation's back-office systems, its depots and the warehouse. In marked contrast to other costly "always on" mobile solutions, 1st Touch Mobile Workforce can work with or without a signal, transmitting encrypted, secure data in periodic small bursts. This innovative approach, it is claimed, reduces typical communication costs by up to 75 %.

The resilient but flexible system also enables easy, programming-free, user-customisable solutions to be created; designed to simplify handheld form design and data capture applications. Any type of electronic form can be generated, replicating closely all current working practices without the need for Business Process Mapping. It also ensures that any future changes or updates required by the organisation can be incorporated without any need for code changes to the applications. This reduces any potential ongoing costs for the customer as requirements will inevitably change and grow over time.

ROCC's Uniclass Social Housing solutions provide business management, ecommerce and business process systems that increase efficiency and improve the management of entire organisations, departments, business processes or specific applications.
In the social housing sector, Uniclass Social Housing is widely acclaimed for providing technically advanced and integrated solutions that encompass the entire business; from contact and contractor management through to financial reporting and from strategic planning down to individual service delivery.

Powerful and flexible, Uniclass is designed and built for internet, intranet and mobile data platforms and secure high availability servers; delivering complete functionality when and where it is needed. Social housing user benefits include: improved monitoring of key performance indicators, enhanced engagement with residents and prioritised investment in sustainable stocks. The system also ensures the delivery of complete, planned maintenance programmes that are on time and budget and the development of new forms of procurement.

Uniclass Social Housing supports management decision making by using real time databases to bring strategic property, tenant and service delivery data together in a unified resource that is available to users wherever they are.

Robert Dent, CEO of 1st Touch believes that the new partnership will set a standard for enterprise social housing technology noting," ROCC has an excellent reputation in the social housing sector for delivering proven technology that makes a real difference. Similarly, 1st Touch's ground breaking enterprise mobile solutions have already captured 15% of the market in the first two years since launch. This is a reflection of the real differential in functionality and technology over what was previously available in the market. By closely integrating these two class-leading technologies, our joint customers and their residents will notice a significant impact in terms of improved levels of service, ease of use, efficiency and cost savings. It really is a win-win situation."

Chris Potter, ROCC's Operations Director welcomed Dent's comments adding that in his view the partnership was borne out of a mutual respect built by working together on major projects: "Our overriding philosophy is that we will only deliver the very highest quality solutions to our customers. Naturally then, when you form links with other best of breed vendors you have to insist on the same high standards. We have been fortunate to work so closely with 1st Touch on previous implementations as that gave us the confidence in the quality of their enterprise mobile technology. Given the huge moves to mobile working in the social housing sector, integrating with 1st Touch made complete sense. We look forward to continuing our close working relationship on many other projects."

All stock is now managed centrally to supply its stores and fulfil website purchases, with daily sales updates fed back to the head office system.

According to Mark Brewer, Manager at John Anthony; “The Eurostop team is very knowledgeable about the retail sector and what we wish to do.

As well as managing our stock more efficiently and improved reporting, the integrated website saves us a lot of time as customers are able to view the latest stock availability immediately, without us having to contact them.

“We also hope that our new customer loyalty programme will enable customers to redeem points in store at their next visit, enabling them to benefit much more from each shopping trip with us.”

Denise Proctor, Sales Executive at Eurostop said, “Successful retailers at these times are those who can focus on developing their business and ensuring that they continue to keep customers loyal. Eurostop’s systems have been designed to streamline stock management and sales processing enabling tight controls on stock supply and delivery with up to the minute reports, freeing up retail managers to concentrate on what they do best.”

Date: 2nd July, 2009

London, 2 July, 2009 Open Text Corporation, a global leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced that Canopius has selected the Open Text ECM Suite to improve processes, reduce filing costs and more importantly support the implementation of electronic trading.

Realising the ever-increasing market demand for electronic trading, Canopius, an international insurance and reinsurance group that operates at Lloyd's and through its overseas operations in Bermuda, Singapore, Ireland and Australia, understands the need for a document management and workflow system that would enable the organisation to exchange information electronically with brokers and third parties around the world.

Linda Stannard, Head of IT and Business Change at Canopius commented: "Currently, underwriting processes are paper based with 'face to face' meetings held, even to manage administrative tasks. However, with technical advances in communications, the London Market has commenced a market improvements initiative to reduce administrative overheads and improve servicing times. Electronic messages and electronic documents are key elements of this improvement programme, and participants in this market are tasked with adopting these new electronic solutions. At Canopius we are keen to support these improvement initiatives, in readiness to trade with our business partners on an electronic basis."

Following a rigorous evaluation process Canopius chose the Open Text ECM Suite, particularly for the Business Process Management (BPM) and Document Management (DM) capabilities. One of the key factors in its decision-making was that Open Text could offer an integrated document management and business process management solution, reducing its concerns on system integration.

Stannard continued: "We are a growing organisation and in support of this growth, we required a vendor that would be able to support both our current needs and those going forward. Open Text matched this requirement and provides us with a modern, scalable BPM and DM solution."

"In 2007 we moved into the Lloyd's building and space for filing became an important consideration. When researching Open Text we realised that its DM system could assist in our filing management, and significantly improve our document retrieval capability."

"Furthermore we felt Open Text's BPM and DM products could offer us long-term benefits such as improved visibility of 'work in progress', reduction in the effort needed for administrative tasks in the underwriting and claims areas, and general process improvements," stated Stannard.

One of Canopius' main challenges was the timescale it set to get its document management and workflow systems implemented. It had already started work on a series of process models defining improved business functions, and needed a compatible workflow system that it could support these processes with minimal IT development effort. Open Text's solution offered this capability, which sped up the workflow development process enabling Canopius to meet implementation schedules.

Canopius signed the agreement at the end of March 2008 and has since rolled out the DM and initial core workflows to all underwriting teams. In 2009 DM is being implemented into Claims, Service Company and other key business operations.

Stannard concluded: "We have received full support from Open Text for this implementation, the quality of resource provided has been excellent, and we look forward to developing our relationship further with Open Text in the future."

Nick Barrow, UK Sales Director, Open Text commented: "We have been working very hard to build a portfolio of partners and customers within the insurance space and are really excited to be working with such an established organisation. This implementation was truly unique for us, as it was the first time we'd integrated with our partner Change CSM's Stratman solution, as well as integrating both of our BPM and DM products. Even though we are still in the early stages of the full project rollout, we feel that it has been a success and hope to continue to deliver the high level of service and standards already set."

Tewkesbury, 2nd July 2009: Suppliers of broadcast and media technology products and services are now feeling the full impact of the global economic downturn, according to the latest Industry Index (www.theiabm.org/index) from the International Association of Broadcasting Manufacturers (IABM). The index tracks the state of the industry through an analysis of published financial statements from a basket of small, medium and large companies.

Global sales increased by 7.9% year on year, a sharp decline from the 11.7% reported three months ago. This drop is largely due to poor first quarter performance this year, with sales turnover typically down by 25% on the same quarter in 2008. 71% of the companies reporting remain in profit but overall profitability is declining, with the IABM profit growth index turning negative for the first time since tracking began three years ago.

"These are naturally disappointing figures," said Roger Crumpton, director of IABM, adding "but they are not unexpected. As well as the downturn which is affecting everyone, the broadcast industry was set to see a sharp drop in sales in this period. 2008 was bound to be a good year for business, with major television events like the Olympics and the US presidential elections causing a lot of people to re-equip. Those budgets have been spent, so 2009 will inevitably be a lean year.

"There is good news too," Crumpton continued. "The profit to sales ratio remains good at around 11.5% globally, with larger companies maintaining strong performance. Those companies with products in emerging technologies like video over IP and digital cinema are the best performers at present."

The figures in the Industry Index reinforce the IABM Industry Trends Survey, published in June in association with Ernst & Young. This suggests a cautious near-term outlook, but a degree of optimism about the longer term. Operations have generally now been streamlined to minimise the impact of reduced revenues, leading, it is hoped to a strong future as business picks up in the coming quarters.

The emphasis on visual representation particularly enhances the user experience, with a graphical representation of the customer's CMDB (Configuration Management Database) ensuring that ‘associations' (e.g. items linked to contacts) are obvious at a glance. New graphical representation of lifecycles and workflows further improves the software's configuration and administration.

Sunrise Chairman, Tom Weston commented: ‘The feedback we've gained from our customers is always a major factor when designing a new release. Thanks to our exceptionally talented development team we are able to offer our customers continuous innovation with Sostenuto.'

Weston's comments were well timed, following Computer Weekly journalist Steve Broadhead's review of the software on his blog: "I relished my latest voyage of discovery with Sunrise Software's Sostenuto ITSM product. I say product, but really it's a platform with an ITSM application sitting on top - in this guise at least. The reality is that companies can no longer deal in 5-10 year fixed business plans; 5-10 minutes is more like it.

[...] Sostenuto ITSM lets you service-manage in a way that reflects your business model and methodology, rather than forcing you down the path the software developers created with their own vision of how everything from raising alerts to trouble ticketing happens."

There are many changes that need to take place to make women a more powerful force in the IT industry, but this is something that needs support from all sides including men, women, the government and the business world. That was the message from W-Tech, the first dedicated recruitment showcase for women in IT held by womenintechnology.co.uk and the BCS, whose panel of successful females in technology said "we're all in this together".

In what was an information packed day, many issues were touched upon. High profile female technologists agreed that the UK needs pay audits, that IT education needs to change to make it more appealing to young girls, that maternity and paternity provisions need to become more equal and that women in IT should seek good mentors to help them in their careers.

"So many interesting things were discussed at W-Tech and so many points were raised" says Maggie Berry, Director of womenintechnology.co.uk and an organiser of W-Tech. "It was a great day packed full of positive messages which I hope the women that attended will take away and be able to put to good use in their careers. We've received some really positive feedback and already have ideas on how to make W-Tech bigger and better next year. Thanks to all that attended for making it such a success!"

W-Tech was held at the IET in London on 24th June. Around 1200 women who wanted to get on, or get into, the IT industry registered for the event which held a series of career development workshops, a CV clinic, recruitment fair and networking session. womenintechnology.co.uk and the BCS organised the event to address the lack of women in IT and the issues that those in the industry face, from the gender pay gap to the ‘motherhood penalty'.

London, July 2nd, 2009: x-Mobility (http://www.x-mobility.com/) today announces the launch of its Mobile Virtual Network Aggregator (MVNA) service that provides a white-labeled MVNO service for brands wishing to enter the mobile space. As the holder of a full Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) licence on the 3UK network, x-Mobility's MVNA service allows new entrants into the market with a quicker and more cost-effective solution than dealing directly with an operator.

The MVNA service from x-Mobility provides everything a company needs to set itself up as a new MVNO, targeting its own distinct customer base. Services include:

• White label branding of both the USIM and the network name on the handset, making all aspects of the service ‘branded' in the eyes of your customers
• Operations Support Systems (OSS), for provisioning of services
• Billing Support Services (BSS), with both wholesale & retail billing interfaces available
• Customer Care services so that any issues your customers face can be resolved
• Number portability, allowing you to port your customers's numbers from other networks

"The MVNO concept is particularly well suited to developing niche propositions and, while this has benefitted consumers in some European markets, the UK mobile operators have yet to truly embrace that model," said Phil Kendall, Director - Global Wireless Practice, Strategy Analytics. "The MVNA approach is an excellent way to facilitate that step change in the market. This is especially true if services like low-cost international calls and data services, that are not traditionally associated with an MVNO, can be added to the mix."

x-Mobility works closely with 3 and has a full MVNO licence on the 3UK network. This allows x-Mobility to aggregate the service to other brands as a white-label service and x-Mobility can provide pre and post-paid voice and data services for its customers.

David Bickett, Business Development Director at 3, said: "x-Mobility has created a very compelling service which suits the excellent network that we have built in the UK. We believe that the smaller, niche MVNO players will be able to profit from the combination of 3UK's network and x-Mobility's MVNA service."

One of the companies that is taking advantage of x-Mobility's MVNA service is Uni-Tel Mobile, which has been set up to target the UK student market.

"I'm really impressed with the x-Mobility business model and really grateful of it too," said Mike Hall, the Operations Director at Uni-Tel Mobile. "Thanks to x-Mobility we've been able to get our MVNO service up and running quickly. We think that we have a very compelling offering to the student market and we're extremely excited about the possibilities."

Wayne Myers, CEO of x-Mobility, said: "This is culmination of a lot of hard work and planning, But now we have launched we're able to help even more brands that want to launch an MVNO service within 120 days and at a fraction of the cost of the traditional, direct route."

"It's great that we're able to help companies like Uni-Tel Mobile provide a new service to their customers within a few months. We hope to help many more companies launch MVNOs to service consumer segments that the mobile operators cannot reach."

x-Mobility is currently working with a number of brands that will be launching their own MVNO service shortly. Based on the volume of SIMs ordered, x-Mobility is one of the biggest MVNOs on the 3UK network.

Bristol, England - July 2nd, 2009 - Pulsic Limited, the leader in custom design automation (CDA®), today announces that it has been granted US Patent (11383658) for a unique routing innovation incorporated in its market-leading physical chip design software. This important patent, titled "Automatic routing nets according to current density rules", protects unique technology incorporated in Pulsic's UniRoute automated router.

By taking into account the current required by the individual branches in a net, UniRoute is able to optimise a net's width. This innovation creates the smallest net width that satisfies the electro-migration rules for current density. Optimising the net widths not only eliminates the risk of electro-migration but also significantly reduces IR losses and minimises routing area. For layout engineers, this eliminates the need to estimate current densities and manually calculate varying net-widths for high fan-out interconnects.

Mark Waller, Vice President of Research and Development for Pulsic, said, "Without this technique, nets are either over-engineered and so take up too much area, or manual intervention causes current density rule violations that need to be fixed late in the design cycle. UniRoute's unique approach optimises net width during automatic routing, taking into account current needs throughout the net and reducing branch sizes accordingly."

UniRoute is part of Pulsic's flagship product Unity™, a complete custom design automation solution for the physical design of high volume ICs. Unity combines three other key components - UniPlan™ (hierarchical floorplanning), UniPlace™ (placement) and UniEdit™ (editing) - with timing, signal integrity, ECO and DFM functionality to provide a truly unique design environment.

Unity has been designed to increase productivity, decrease design area and increase yield for even the most challenging custom digital, mixed-signal and analog IC designs.
