REDWOOD CITY, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Host Analytics, the leading provider of cloud-based financial performance management solutions, today announced that The Bama Companies, Inc., a leading international manufacturer of proprietary dough products and baked goods, has implemented the Host Analytics Budget and Host Analytics Revenue Planning applications. Bama, whose hand-held pies, biscuits and pizza crusts are sold internationally, will use Host Analytics’ web-based tools to understand the full financial impact of business decisions, both risks and returns, before they’re made.

Bama products are used by many of the world’s leading fast food and casual dining chains. Serving this market is complicated, given fluctuating demand for product and significant staff, equipment and factory costs. On a regular basis Bama’s finance team analyzes these variables and forecasts the impact of potential changes on budget. Bama finance professionals use Host Analytics Budget to perform this “what-if” analysis and results are generated in near real-time. Scenario data prepared by Host Analytics Budget is used by Bama finance execs to understand the variables that drive future profits and by senior management to make fully informed business decisions.

Prior to deploying Host Analytics, Bama was using a home-grown budgeting system. The switch to Host Analytics was prompted by the need to do rolling budget forecasts and the desire for more automation, increased ease-of-use, and more sophisticated scenario planning functionality. Bama considered a wide variety of financial performance management solutions, including on-premise and other Software-as-a-Service products. Host Analytics was selected for its power, flexibility, ease of use and cost.

Along with Host Analytics Budget, Bama is using Host Analytics Revenue Planning. Divisional sales leaders use the system to forecast revenue, which seamlessly feeds into the overall finance plan. This integration between finance and operations means sales managers can assess sales productivity and finance can understand whether the company will make its revenue goals.

In addition to being flexible, Bama needed a budgeting solution that would be easy to administer, with as little support as possible from IT. The decision to use Host Analytics was made by finance and IT together, but finance owns the system so it had to be highly functional without being overly complicated. The Excel-like templates within Host Analytics Budget and Host Analytics Revenue Planning are interfaces with which Bama finance and sales staff are comfortable, which helped make the transition process smooth. The applications are delivered “in the cloud,” so Bama workers can access the system any time, any place.

“We needed a set of tools that were powerful as well as flexible,” said Kimberly Joyce controller and director of finance at The Bama Companies. “With Host Analytics Budget we can do scenario planning in 15 minutes and have the answers we need in record speed. Instead of basing decisions on gut feel we know precisely what will be the impact on budget if we move product production from one plant to another, for example. We can review scenarios a hundred different ways, which leads to more strategic business decisions.”

EXTON, PA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Elemica, the industry-leading B2B Supply Chain Network, today introduces Print-to-Market and Email-to-Market, both of which provide a single, fully automated, touchless order fulfillment process for Sellers on the Elemica Business Process Network. Print-to-Market and Email-to-Market convert what were traditionally faxed or emailed orders and delivers them to suppliers in their preferred format. With Print-to-Market or Email-to-Market in place, sellers receive orders electronically instead of manually, achieving as much as 400% reduction in errors, 76% faster order processing, and 78% improvement in managing order changes.

“With Elemica’s new Print-to-Market and Email-to-Market solutions, our clients receive tremendous business benefits by automating their orders, and in turn their customers receive significantly improved customer service. It’s a win-win that raises the bar on service in the industry,” said Mike McGuigan, CEO of Elemica. “Improving the efficiency and accuracy of order transactions enhances customer satisfaction, improves customer service, and better positions companies for competitiveness in the rebounding economy.”

Both Print-to-Market and Email-to-Market are already being used by dozens of customers across several suppliers on the Elemica network.

“Elemica’s Print-to-Market and Email-to-Market solutions are a completely non-intrusive way to electronically connect with your customers and automate orders that were previously placed by fax or email,” says Jens Garby, Director Business Services, The Dow Chemical Company. “This is making a difference, and we’re very happy.”

According to an Aberdeen Group report published in December 2009, 43% Best-in-Class companies have fully automated the Order-to-Cash process versus 21% laggards. When orders move through a system without manual intervention there is: 30% order cycle time improvement, 5% to 10% higher customer service level, one day of working capital reduction, and a 2% revenue improvement.

Elemica’s Print-to-Market and Email-to-Market allow suppliers to electronically receive and process what were traditionally manual orders in a true touchless and automated method. Both products require no IT resources for suppliers or their customers, and were designed to have no impact on customers’ processes.

Print-to-Market and Email-to-Market provide flexibility for Buyers as they can now send orders electronically to Sellers instead of via fax or paper without disruption to their current ordering processes. Suppliers receive orders automatically and eliminate their customer’s objection to installing disruptive technologies or overhauling current processes. Electronic invoices can be sent to Buyers, speeding up the invoicing process, improving invoice accuracy, and hastening the order-to-cash process.

BOSTON, MA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Nuxeo, the Open Source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) company, today announced that it has seen significant growth in the ECM marketplace — particularly in North America. In 2009, Nuxeo more than doubled its revenue, launched several new products and features developed in conjunction with the open source community and won several industry accolades. The open source document management company also now has expanded to 50+ employees in Paris and Boston and more than 50 partners worldwide.

“Our experience over the past 12 + months in North America is that there is a large segment of the market that want the breadth and depth of larger content management systems from first generation ECM vendors such as EMC, IBM, Open Text and Oracle — but today they require more modern, extensible architectures and lower overall costs,” said Eric Barroca, CEO of Nuxeo. “Our appeal is a feature-rich ECM platform and packaged applications that address the architectural and functional needs of large enterprises, but are also easily deployable in a wide range of environments and extended and developed by customers themselves.”

2009 highlights include:

– Major Growth of Subscriber Base — Nuxeo has tripled its customer base in 2009, boosted by a move into the North American market and the improvement of its Nuxeo Connect, the company’s flagship subscription offering delivering software maintenance and support to its customers. New global customers in 2009 include Orange, one of the world’s leading telecommunications and network services companies; Jeppesen, a division of Boeing; EllisDon, one of the largest building contractors in Canada; Serimax, an international full service welding company; Cengage Learning, which makes customized learning solutions for universities, instructors, students, libraries, government agencies, corporations, and professionals; Frequentis, which supports state and local governments with emergency response/command and control applications; and Vilogia, a France-based privately held property management company.

– Revenue Growth — In line with its growing subscriber base, Nuxeo has seen a 285 percent growth in 2009 revenue compared to close of 2008. This validates the company’s strategy to deliver an open source ECM platform as a foundation for content applications. This growth also demonstrates a successful expansion into the North American market and its ability to compete with and beat proprietary and open source ECM vendors alike. With demand for Nuxeo Connect subscriptions on the rise, the Nuxeo revenue mix has shifted to more packaged support and maintenance deals. At close of 2009, Nuxeo’s revenue is largely driven by its subscription offering.

– Galaxy Partner Program launched — 50 partners — integrators and application partners — have signed up for the Nuxeo Galaxy Partner program since its launch in July 2009. The Nuxeo Galaxy Program gives business and field experts the ability to package their knowledge and offer both horizontal and vertical applications, designed to meet specific content management challenges. Galaxy partners deliver their domain expertise and solutions to their customers as well as to the broader, ever growing Nuxeo community.

– Significant community contributions — Nuxeo was able to expand its product in a number of meaningful ways including through contributions from its open source community. For example, Nuxeo added support for OpenSocial through the contributions of one of its larger customers Leroy Merlin with the Nuxeo DM 5.3 release in October 2009.

– Gained industry accolades — Nuxeo continues to be recognized by leading publications and win awards. It recently won TechWeb’s Intelligent Enterprise Editors’ Choice award that recognizes the most influential technology companies impacting enterprises today. It was also listed as one of “10 open source projects worth checking out” by TechRepublic.

– Now has more than 50 employees, up from 38 in 2008 — Nuxeo continued to grow the number of employees both in Paris, as well as the new office in Boston. Among the high-profile hires was appointing David Cloyd General Manager of the Americas and hiring Cheryl McKinnon as its first Chief Marketing Officer. McKinnon brings more than 15 years experience in the ECM space, most recently with Open Text.

– Leadership role with Apache Chemistry incubator project & CMIS — Nuxeo spearheaded the creation of the vendor-neutral Apache Chemistry incubator project, which is developing a generic, open source Java reference implementation of the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard. Nuxeo also participates on the OASIS CMIS technical committee, which is working on creating a standard web services infrastructure to allow enterprises to more easily share information with multiple ECM systems as well as between ERP and CRM systems.

2010 is also off to a record start with the releases of Nuxeo DAM and Nuxeo Studio. The Nuxeo Digital Asset Management offering, Nuxeo DAM, helps organizations catalogue, process, store, retrieve, and distribute rich media content, including images, audio, and video. Nuxeo Studio is the configuration and customization environment for Nuxeo EP, Nuxeo DM and Nuxeo DAM. Nuxeo Studio is available to subscription customers to help them accelerate application building with a simple web-hosted design tool. Nuxeo DAM is driving new deals early in 2010, with the first closed contract achieved within 30 days of product launch.

LOS ALTOS, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — ThreatMetrix™, a fast growing provider of fraud detection solutions that do not require personally identifiable information (PII), today announced the availability of the ThreatMetrix Fraud Network, an updated and expanded version of its device identification solution for etailers, financial services companies, social networks, dating and gaming websites, and payment processors. Delivered as a cloud service, the ThreatMetrix Fraud Network provides IT, e-commerce, security and fraud professionals with a rich set of tools for verifying new accounts, authorizing payments and transactions, and authorizing user logins, all in real-time without customers providing personally identifiable information (PII).

Most fraud prevention and customer authentication systems use PII to determine whether a customer is legitimate or a fraudster. But sophisticated cyber criminals can easily circumvent this challenge, and web users are increasingly reluctant to share personal information when shopping, sharing and banking online. ThreatMetrix device identification solutions, which profile the computer used to create an account or execute a transaction, are popular among security professionals because they don’t require the use of PII to assess customer legitimacy. Instead, ThreatMetrix’ unique packet signature analysis technology detects the use of botnets and proxies, and reveals the true location of the device as well as the device’s identity.

On the other hand, device information is but one data point. To truly assess legitimacy, fraud prevention professionals and e-commerce marketing experts need a more complete picture of the customer. That’s where the ThreatMetrix Fraud Network comes in. The web-based system utilizes a wide variety of device- and transaction-related data, not including PII, to build a “contextual score” that delivers all the information security pros need to make a thoughtful “go, no-go” decision about a customer. Among the data gathered by the ThreatMetrix Fraud Network is deep intelligence about the device, key transaction details and past behavior, both on-site and globally.

The ThreatMetrix Fraud Network is unique among fraud detection solutions because it’s capable of addressing all three of the major web fraud scenarios: verifying customers, authorizing transactions and authenticating users. If a transaction originates offshore from behind a botnet, the ThreatMetrix Fraud Network doesn’t need to know the identity of the person in order to alert the security pro that a customer is high risk.

ThreatMetrix presents a contextual score to the fraud and professional security professional via web portal or data warehouse Built from the ground up to make fraud easier to analyze, report and prevent, the web portal provides users with access to an updated fraud engine rules editor that is context aware including the ability to instantly review and analyze transactions based on date, score, status, or any other attribute across the global network. It can automatically add transaction and device identifiers to blacklists and whitelists with the click of a button, and it can search transactions according to any attribute. Likewise, the data warehouse aggregates information and generates graphical reports so users can spot fraud trends early and tune their risk models accordingly.

The ThreatMetrix Fraud Network is built on a distributed architecture. This design provides for real-time data processing and delivery, Internet scalability, shared intelligence across components, redundancy and speed. The ThreatMetrix Fraud Network can operate as a standalone fraud prevention system. It can also serve as middleware, enabling IT architects to leverage investments in existing fraud prevention and authentication systems. The ThreatMetrix Fraud Network comes with out-of-the-box integrations to many leading fraud prevention platforms.

“Our research shows an overwhelming majority of consumers are very concerned about the threat of falling victim to online fraud and, indeed, nearly half have experienced some type of fraud as a result of their use of the Internet,” said Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder, Ponemon Institute. “What this study also found is that consumers would readily embrace technologies that would shield them from becoming the victims of fraud without requiring them to divulge personal information.”

“We’re changing the rules of online fraud prevention with the introduction of the ThreatMetrix Fraud Network,” said Reed Taussig, president and CEO, ThreatMetrix. “Typical fraud prevention solutions rely on IP intelligence which is easy to spoof with proxies or require the use of PII which fraudsters are quickly able to exploit based on recent data breaches and the popularity of social networks. The ThreatMetrix Fraud Network addresses this imbalance through contextual scoring based on global transaction data and authentication history of devices and credentials used in transactions — all without requiring PII or sharing of reputation information.”

About ThreatMetrix

ThreatMetrix helps companies stop web fraud and enable e-commerce. The ThreatMetrix Fraud Network helps online businesses verify new accounts, authorize payments and transactions and authenticate user logins in real-time without relying on personally identifiable information (PII). ThreatMetrix profiles the device used in an online transaction so companies can determine whether the users are fraudsters or customers. ThreatMetrix device profiling goes beyond browser fingerprinting to identify the device, bypass proxies and detect the use of botnets. ThreatMetrix’ simple and cost-effective SaaS approach to implementation enables companies to get results in hours or days, rather than weeks or months. The company serves a rapidly growing customer base in the U.S. and around the world across a variety of industries including social networks (dating, gaming), financial services, e-commerce, affiliate marketing and payments.

REDWOOD CITY, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Replay Solutions (www.replaysolutions.com), a pioneer in application lifecycle, software debugging and problem resolution technology, today announced a hosted version of ReplayDIRECTOR™, the company’s patented DVR-like solution for security issues, performance problems and application defects. Replay Solutions revolutionary “record and replay” technology allows users to identify, reproduce and fix software defects in minutes.

Replay Solutions is also announcing a promotion today with aggressive pricing to introduce organizations not already using ReplayDIRECTOR to the new and improved approach to software operations, development and testing that record/replay enables.

“Software application teams face new challenges today they did not face just a few years ago. New technologies have made building and managing software more challenging. Global teams are now dealing with technologies including virtualization, cloud computing and clustering,” said Jonathan Lindo, co-founder and CEO of Replay Solutions.

“This product launch is the result of a tremendous amount of research, working closely with our customers to develop the quickest path to identify, reproduce and fix software defects in production, development and QA. We believe it represents a revolutionary step forward for the software industry.”

Theo Nissim, CEO of Gemini Solutions, commented, “Our approach to resolving defects has improved dramatically with ReplayDIRECTOR. The time we spend resolving defects has dropped quantifiably by over 50%. This has resulted in a very significant ROI for my company.”

New features of ReplayDIRECTOR 3.0 include:

— Cloud Hosted Solution: Teams can now use ReplayDIRECTOR as a secure, hosted service. No servers need to be installed allowing teams to be up and running in 5 minutes, with no infrastructure to manage.

— Visual Recording: A new feature captures what was on the end-user’s screen during recording. Reproduce the exact end-user experience in seconds for faster root cause analysis.

— Enhanced Web Collaboration: A completely redesigned Web 2.0 interface enables rapid team collaboration across multiple locations, integrating seamlessly with existing tools and workflows. New web features include ‘Click-to-Replay’, a one-click method of reproducing any issue.

— Replay Markers: ReplayDIRECTOR 3.0 introduces the concept of Markers which pinpoint the root cause of almost any security, performance or application issue in a recording, and are used to replay to the precise moment of failure in the code. Markers can be created by end-users, automatically as a result of software errors, or by external tools such as application performance monitoring tools via the Replay API.

— Increased integration: Expanded support with leading Web platforms including: WebLogic, Tomcat, JBoss, Linux, Windows and more. Replay has also dramatically improved integration with the Eclipse IDE.

“Replay Solutions is leveraging virtualization technology to transform the application lifecycle. We all know that software development is complex and expensive. For the first time in history, the defacto nature of a technology, virtualization, is adding to software complexity and also enabling new solutions to eliminate common roadblocks and barriers in the development process,” said Theresa Lanowitz, founder and principal analyst of voke, Inc. “Solutions based on virtualization deliver clear, quick ROI and increase productivity in new ways that eliminate tactical activities and enable experts to focus on delivering results. All software organizations need to use tools such as ReplayDIRECTOR 3.0 in order to enable teams to instantly share complex environments to identify, debug, and resolve defects.”

How it Works

ReplayDIRECTOR functions like a DVR for enterprise Java applications — recording inputs and events affecting the application with the ability to “rewind” and replay any error or scenario exactly as it happened.

ReplayDIRECTOR does not replay screen captures, but virtualizes the original environment in which the defect occurred and re-executes the software during Replay on a single computer. This eliminates the need to recreate the database, application load or any other component that was present during the recording.

With the new, hosted version, storage and access to the recordings is provided by Replay Solutions. The team collaboration features are delivered over the Web, simplifying the setup process and IT infrastructure required, enabling companies to be up and running in minutes.

“Replay has been proven to dramatically accelerate the software lifecycle and save companies valuable resources while improving quality and meeting SLAs,” explained Jonathan Lindo, CEO and co-founder of Replay Solutions. “One company estimated more than $1million in savings using ReplayDIRECTOR on a recent project, and with our hosted version anyone can be up and running in 5 minutes. We’re inviting companies to join the movement that is now making recording systems a standard part of the workflow by trying ReplayDIRECTOR today.”

Pricing and Availability

ReplayDIRECTOR is immediately available as a hosted service. Companies can register and get started today at http://replaysolutions.com/download.

Momentum

2009 was a transformative year for Replay Solutions. Among the highlights:

— Replay Solutions doubled the number of customers, including signing up some of the world’s largest technology companies and financial institutions.

— Replay Solutions was granted U.S. Patent for Virtualized ‘Record and Replay’ of Computer Programs.

— Replay added former VMware executive James Phillips to its board of advisors.

— Replay Solutions won several accolades including the voke, inc. “2009 Innovator Award” as well as named among the six “Companies Most Likely to Succeed” at the Silicon Valley Association of Start-up Entrepreneurs (SVASE).

SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Callidus Software Inc. (NASDAQ: CALD), the leader in Sales Performance Management (SPM), today announced it received a “positive” rating in the latest MarketScope for Sales Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) Software by Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT), the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company.

The author of the MarketScope, Michael Dunne, noted that, “Sales compensation is often one of the largest cost items after salaries, as well as the leading means to influencing sales behaviors.” The report continues, “At an operational level, many firms still struggle with calculating variable compensation efficiently and accurately, which can undermine governance, sales morale and managerial credibility. Strategically, sales leadership teams are increasingly concerned with rebuilding and optimizing sales capacity more effectively to recover growth, and view variable compensation as a critical tool for raising sales productivity.”(1)

“We are extremely excited to be recognized with a ‘positive’ rating from a highly-regarded research firm such as Gartner,” said Lorna Heynike, senior vice president of marketing at Callidus Software “Callidus is committed to continue to lead the sales performance market.

The report evaluated 10 principle vendors for the global ICM market on overall viability (business unit, financial, strategy and organization), product/service, sales execution/pricing, customer experience, and geographic strategy.

Last December, Gartner rated Callidus Software “positive” in its “MarketScope for Insurance Incentive Compensation Management Applications.”(2)

LONDON — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) announces its first Cisco Eos® customer outside the United States, U.K.-based Dogwoof, a leading independent film distributor in the United Kingdom specializing in social issue films and documentaries.

Dogwoof, which recently distributed films such as Age of Stupid, and the Academy Award-nominated documentaries Food, Inc. and Burma VJ, is deploying the Eos platform to expand and empower its increasing online community, enabling conversations around the social issues raised by the films beyond the initial viewing.

Individual Eos-powered sites will be developed for each film that Dogwoof distributes and the social issue it addresses. In addition, each of the film sites will tie back to a centralized Dogwoof site called ‘Good with Film‘ that will help audience members interact not only with social films and their content, but also with other people interested in the same topics.

Cisco Eos is a hosted ’software as a service’ platform that enables media and entertainment companies to more economically create, manage and monetize social entertainment experiences built around their portfolios of branded content.

Supporting Facts:

• In addition to the new relationship, Dogwoof is announcing two new sites powered by Cisco Eos:

• Good with Film: Dogwoof’s central online community that ties together all of the social issues their films raise.
• Dirty Oil: A site built around the documentary exposing the exploitation of the tar sands deposits in Canada.
• Good with Film is aimed at expanding and empowering audience members, enabling conversation around the social issues raised by feature films and documentaries beyond the initial viewing.
• Dogwoof will release more than six additional sites over the next 12 months; these will include sites for films such as No Impact Man, Videocracy, H2Oil and Budrus.
• Unlike traditional film distribution, where every film release means creating a new audience and a Web site that is never revisited once the film has been released, Dogwoof’s community sites will grow organically as additional social issues are addressed in new films.
• Fans of Dogwoof’s films use the online space as their main hub to share information. It’s an incredibly active group of people, vocal and passionate about social and environmental issues. They comprise filmmakers, key influencers, opinion formers, non-governmental organizations, charities, celebrities and students, amongst others.
• Dogwoof is creating a community of content around social issue films, where the audience can interact online both before and after the film.
• With its centralized administrative environment platform and content syndication features, Cisco Eos can serve as a central hub for Dogwoof to push content out to third-party sites, but still draw audiences back to the official Dogwoof Web sites to interact with their content.

Supporting Quotes:

• “The audience is engaging with films in a different way, and we are constantly adopting new technologies to meet their needs,” said Andy Whittaker, founder of Dogwoof. “The Cisco Eos platform will enable us to create fully integrated and interactive sites for our audiences and will also enable us to provide filmmakers with the necessary tools to interact with their audiences.”

• “Cisco Eos is a game changer for Dogwoof and social issue films. Together with Cisco, we are creating a compelling user experience that is personal and social,” said Anna Godas, co-founder of Dogwoof. “Today’s film industry requires Dogwoof to play a much more interactive role with both the audience and filmmakers. We’ve been doing this by developing social media tools, and we believe that Cisco Eos will enable us to take our online communities to the next level.”
• “Cisco is committed to helping innovative media companies like Dogwoof produce its next big hit: interactive online experiences that connect audiences with the entertainment content they love,” said Dan Scheinman, senior vice president and general manager, Cisco Media Solutions Group. “The Eos platform’s combination of high-quality content, community and a scalable technology platform will allow Dogwoof to create these new entertainment experiences. We are proud to be able to work with Dogwoof to deepen and broaden its audience relationships through the Cisco Eos platform.”
• “Technology is creating new ways to extend the audience experience beyond the theatre and engage consumers in a longer-term relationship with entertainment content,” said Neville Wheeler, director of business development, Cisco Media Solutions Group. “Dogwoof’s launch of a social issue community on the Cisco Eos platform enables them to continue the conversation they start with audiences through their films.”

Dogwoof Films:

• Dogwoof films have a common underlying theme in driving change. Previous successes include:
• Academy Award-nominated documentary Food, Inc., supported by Stella McCartney.
• Academy Award-nominated Burma VJ, the first film to be screened at No. 10 Downing Street.
• Black Gold, widely credited with shifting Starbucks’ position on fair trade.
• The Age of Stupid, which led to the 10:10 campaign.
• The End of the Line, which was largely responsible for Marks & Spencer and Prêt-a-Manger changing their tuna policy.
• The successful Mugabe and the White African.

FREMONT, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Crossing Automation, Inc. (www.crossinginc.com), a leading supplier of efficient, cost-effective front-end and back-end automation solutions and engineering services to high volume semiconductor equipment manufacturers, today announced that it has improved its Spartan™ equipment front end module (EFEM) performance, enabling it to achieve 450 wafers per hour (wph) throughput. The improved design was undertaken to address the requirements of high throughput semiconductor manufacturing processes such as strip/ash, clean and ion implant. The improved Spartan EFEM enables 100 percent process tool utilization due to its patented wafer engine atmospheric robot which offers the fastest available wafer exchange time of less than 2.5 seconds.

“Maximizing tool throughput delivers a critical competitive advantage for tool suppliers while lowering tool cost of ownership for IC manufacturers,” said May Su, vice president of product marketing for Crossing Automation. “This is especially important for tools that have the process capability to achieve hundreds of wafers per hour throughput, but were limited by the available atmospheric robotic technologies. By upgrading Spartan’s production-proven software algorithms for wafer move paths, we are now able to deliver the highest throughput capability of any commercially available EFEM, while maintaining Spartan’s established reliability and cleanliness performance.”

CAMBRIDGE, MA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — According to NSR’s newest market research report, Global Market for Digital Signage, 2nd Edition, the Digital Signage industry as a whole continues to grow, albeit at rates much lower than were expected over the past 2-3 years. The industry has been quite severely impacted by the economic recession; however, deployments continue and advertisers are gradually seeing the value of out-of-home media. NSR expects the 596,000 sites supported by third-party advertising in 2009 to grow to approximately 1.45 million sites by 2019.

Revenues from advertising have been hard to come by in the last two years, but networks supported by marketing budgets have grown steadily with estate owners recognizing the impact of the medium on consumers, especially in retail locations such as malls and supermarkets. Here, once again, the global industry for branded networks is expected to grow at a healthy rate of about 18.4% from its current estimated figure of over 77,000 sites in 2009. Advertising revenues meanwhile, as predicted in the 1st Edition, have risen past the billion dollar mark and are expected to grow from $1.68 billion in 2009 to well over $7 billion by 2019.

“Advertising budgets were slashed across the board in 2008 and early 2009, which has brought down revenue numbers for this market,” stated Prashant Butani, Senior Analyst for NSR and author of the report. “However, for those networks that were able to establish a targeted audience base, and were present in locations of high dwell time, CPM figures have remained stable. Verticals like Healthcare in North America and Transportation in Asia are also still opportunities for steady growth.” Gradual acceptance of the medium has kept the industry going through tough times, and despite some consolidation and shake-out, major players have emerged stronger after the downturn.

This new NSR report focuses on networks consisting of digital displays used for third party advertising as well as for branded communications and provides a study of ten major verticals served by these networks across five major geographies of the world. Data from over 250 companies forms a core of the research, and additionally the report provides a comprehensive set of Excel tables and charts that allow readers to quantify every aspect of the market for Digital Signage networks.

When asked, what makes this report different from the others currently available, Butani added, “NSR has always gone a step beyond the status quo with every research effort, including those focused on the Digital Signage market. With the 2nd Edition report we deliver over 5,000 unique data points that quantify the market from every possible perspective. There are very few offerings on Digital Signage market research that can claim to have such comprehensive data sets.”

About the Report
Global Market for Digital Signage, 2nd Edition is a multi-client report now available from NSR. The report forecasts the sites, screens, players, CPMs and revenues associated with the Digital Signage market in each region, examines the market trends behind advertising and brand based digital signs and includes a complete set of forecasts for 10 verticals and 5 regions over the next 10 years. As one of the most data-intensive studies on the Digital Signage market today, over 5,000 unique data points are a part of the Excel file that accompanies the report. For additional information on this report, including a full table of contents, list of exhibits and executive summary, please visit www.nsr.com or call NSR at 617-576-5771.

STUTTGART, GERMANY — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — MAHLE GmbH / First high-volume orders for Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems processed and transmitted by Hugin AS. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Stuttgart, March 2010 – 18 months after the company’s foundation, Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems received the first two high-volume orders for exhaust gas turbochargers. The turbo technology of Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems will be applied in a gasoline downsizing engine and a common-rail diesel engine. Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems will start production for the approximately one million turbochargers per year at the end of 2011.

“The customer’s decision honors our efforts to bring a high-quality product to the market at a competitive price”, says Dr. Andreas Prang, Managing Director at Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems responsible for production, purchasing, and quality. “In the past months, Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems established a consistent, process and quality-oriented product development process. Therefore, the development department is able to quickly and flexibly respond to the various customer requirements” adds Dr. Martin Knopf, responsible for development, sales, and finance.

Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems entered new ways in the development with simulation, layout and design and concentrated the product optimization to spontaneous response behavior and low exhaust gas backpressure for the reduction of fuel consumption. With new and highly precise production processes of the rotor and the bearing elements as key components, the turbochargers are placing a benchmark with regard to acoustic behavior and stability. Furthermore, the fully automatic assembly line of the basic unit secures a very high quality level and therefore extraordinary robustness. For the first time, Bosch Mahle Turbosystems uses a functional test which is integrated into the fully automatic assembly for security reasons.

In combination with direct fuel injection, turbochargers make a considerable contribution that the downsized combustion engine becomes much more efficient without performance loss and that CO2 emissions and fuel consumption can be further reduced. An increasing number of car manufacturers concentrate on downsizing concepts in their actual and future engine generations. The need for exhaust gas turbochargers will therefore increase continuously in the coming years.

Start of production from 2011 on

In the past months, Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems made substantial investments: The development location in Stuttgart as well as the production locations in Blaichach/Immenstadt (Germany) and St. Michael (Austria) have been built up. After the ground breaking ceremony in September 2008, a new production hall with a production area of approximately 10,000 square meters is now completed in St. Michael. Currently, major production equipment is being installed so that pre-series exhaust gas turbochargers can be produced on series installations from March 2010.

Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems is a joint venture of Bosch and Mahle and thus participates in the strong understanding of the complete system for combustion engines and in the outstanding know-how in development and high-volume production of engine parts and components. Currently, exhaust gas turbocharger systems for engines in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles are being developed. The company was founded in 2008 and already employs approximately 150 employees.

SAN DIEGO, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Metatron, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MRNJ), providers of mobile application digital content and distribution, is strategically positioned to capitalize on the emerging mobile marketplace, amid recent reports from industry analysts and market researchers and consultants.

Analysts at research firm, Gartner, Inc. reported in January that mobile application downloads will exceed 4.5 billion worldwide in 2010, up from 2.5 billion in 2009. The firm projects that number will soar to nearly 22 billion in 2013. This growth, according to Gartner, is expected to produce $6.7 billion in mobile app revenue in 2010, up from $4.2 billion in 2009. From 2008 to 2013, the firm estimates there will be more than 50 billion applications downloads generating more than $72 billion.

Similar projections for the mobile marketplace were announced last year by wireless market research and consulting firm, Wireless Expertise, which stated: With mobile phones outnumbering PCs around the world by 4:1, mobile applications represent an even bigger opportunity for the mobile industry than the fixed-line perceived the Internet a decade ago. With over four billion mobile users around the world compared to approximately one billion PCs, mobile will become the ideal channel for businesses to reach their consumers. The firm also reported that mobile operators have to adopt a dual app store strategy, using the now widely accepted app store model in conjunction with a browser-based widget store, to provide the greatest potential for a mass-market proposition.

“Our strategy of integrating top technology to distribute high demand content is on target for Metatron’s i-Mobilize operating business to rank as the fourth largest mobile content provider following industry giants Apple, Amazon, and Google,” said Joe Riehl, CEO of Metatron, Inc.

Metatron’s i-Mobilize provides clients with lucrative value propositions for their target consumers and is rapidly emerging as a powerful and necessary “content cloud” — a recently coined industry term defining the capability to aggregate and distribute platform transcendent digital content from and to multiple sources.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — PivotLink, the leading provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions delivered via Software as a Service (SaaS), today announced the immediate availability of PivotLink ReadiMetrix, a new product family targeted to business users that want to achieve quick business intelligence (BI) wins in the Cloud, on-demand. Built on the award-winning PivotLink platform, the initial suite of three ReadiMetrix analytical applications combines key performance indicators (KPIs), reports and collaborative dashboards into a single application that eliminates the cost and complexity of traditional on-premise BI systems.

PivotLink ReadiMetrix is the first SaaS BI suite that provides Sales, Marketing and Human Resources (HR) professionals with “out-of-the-box” best practice core metrics to monitor progress and correlate results to business goals. It provides everything a line of business user needs to go from data to decisions in days instead of months or years.

ReadiMetrix manifests PivotLink’s mission to move beyond the industry’s traditional business intelligence approach and usher in the new BI era. PivotLink is delivering three essential components to help its customers achieve “Insight as a Service”: an enterprise-grade SaaS BI platform; best practice KPIs and data mash-ups; and a burgeoning expert and user community.

The next generation of BI is described in a study by analyst and author Howard Dresner, president of Dresner Advisory Services, who is widely recognized for coining the term business intelligence.

Dresner added, “My latest study shows three playing fields have formed in business intelligence: ‘Titans,’ ‘Established Pure-plays’ and ‘Emerging Vendors.’ The early findings paint a fascinating picture about the surge of innovation happening in BI. As BI 3.0 unfolds, the market should keep a close eye on emerging companies with the potential to transform the market as we know it. Among others, PivotLink will be ranked in the study, which should be available by month’s end.” (For details visit http://businesssintelligence.blogspot.com)

The first three packages in the PivotLink ReadiMetrix suite include:

• ReadiMetrix for Sales — improve win rates and boost revenues with metrics for sales performance, pipeline velocity, lead conversion and sales forecast accuracy;
• ReadiMetrix for Marketing — optimize your marketing mix and improve demand creation effectiveness with metrics to track prospect-to-lead, lead-to-opportunity and segmentation profiling;

Propositions

The board’s proposition on the appropriation the Company’s profit or loss (item 9 b)

The board proposes a dividend of SEK 1.50 per share. 22 April 2010 is proposed as record day for dividend. Assuming this date will be adopted as the record day, Euroclear Sweden AB is expected to disburse dividends on 29 April 2010.

Proposition by the nomination committee (item 2 and 10-13)

A nomination committee (NC) has been established following a decision on the annual general meeting of shareholders 2009. The following persons serve on the nomination committee for the annual general meeting 2010; Per Lindberg, Sverre Bergland (DnB Nor), Anders Ljungqvist (AMF), Robert Andersson (Infl ktor) and Anders Lidbeck (chairman of the board in Enea AB). The NC has appointed Per Lindberg as its chairman. The propositions by the NC are supported by shareholders representing approx. 28 per cent of the votes.

The NC proposes that Anders Lidbeck is appointed to chair the annual general meeting 2010.

The NC proposes that the board shall consist of five ordinary members elected by the general meeting and without any deputy members.

According to NC’s proposition, the remuneration to the board shall be in principle unchanged compared to previous years, but adjusted due to the decrease of the number of members from six to five, and consequently be a total of SEK 1 190 000 to be allocated with SEK 380 000 to the chairman and SEK 160 000 to the rest of the members elected by the general meeting. The VC also proposes that SEK 170 000 shall be allocated amongst the board members due to contribution and activity in committee work, which is unchanged from the previous year. In addition hereto, SEK 500 000 is proposed as remuneration for extra ordinary efforts, not least for the chairman of the board who is estimated to spend considerable time in excess of the normal board work. The amount of time devoted to these extra ordinary efforts shall be accounted for and be deducted from this amount. The NC proposes that the auditor shall receive reasonable compensation and based on actual time spent on the assignments.

The NC proposes re-election of Åsa Landén Ericsson, Anders Skarin and Kjell Duveblad as members of the board and Anders Lidbeck as chairman of the board and election of Mats Lindoff as a new member. For more information on the proposed new member see www.enea.com.

The auditors were elected 2007 for a period of four years and consequently this year’s meeting will not elect any auditors.

The NC proposes that a new NC shall consist of representatives for four of the largest shareholders and the chairman of the board. The chairman of the board is assigned to contact the four largest (according to number of votes) shareholders at the end of the third quarter 2010 and request them to appoint a member of the NC each. If such shareholder does not wish to appoint a member, the next shareholder (according to number of votes) will be requested to appoint a member of the NC. A member appointed by a shareholder should be chairman of the NC. The names of the NC members shall be published in the Company’s third quarterly interim report. The period of mandate for the appointed NC shall run until the next NC has taken over. The NC shall be changed in accordance with the principles above if there is a substantial change in the shareholder structure following the constitution of the NC.

The NC shall prepare and make propositions to the annual general meeting regarding chairman of the meeting, election of chairman and other members of the board of the Company, remuneration for the board divided between the chairman and the other members as well as the principles for remuneration, if any, for work in committees, election and compensation of auditors and deputy auditors (if any) and principles for appointment of a new nomination committee. The NC shall have the right to charge the Company with costs for e.g. recruitment consultants and other costs that may arise in order for the NC to conduct its assignment.

The board’s proposition on an authorization for the board to acquire and transfer its own shares (item 14)

The board proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board to acquire and transfer its own shares as follows. Acquisitions of shares may only be made on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm (the “Marketplace”) or in accordance with an offer to all shareholders in the company. Acquisition may only be made of such amount of shares that the Company’s holding of treasury shares at each time does not supersede ten per cent of all shares in the Company. Transfer of shares may be made in other ways than on the Marketplace, including a right to deviate from the shareholders preferential rights and that payment may be made by other means than by cash. Ten per cent of the total number of the shares in the Company may be transferred. The above authorization may be utilized on one or several occasions up until the annual general meeting 2011. Acquisitions of shares on the Marketplace may only be made at a price within the registered price interval at the Marketplace. Transfer of shares in connection with acquisitions of businesses may be made at a market price estimated by the board.

The purpose of the authorization above to acquire and transfer shares is to continuously be able to adjust the capital structure of Enea AB to the capital needs of Enea AB and to enable financing, in whole or in part, in connection with acquisitions of businesses.

Decisions following this item on the agenda require support of shareholders representing at least 2/3 of both cast votes as well as the shares represented at the meeting.

The board’s proposition on guidelines for remuneration to senior management (item 15)

Principles

Remuneration to the chairman of the board and other members of the board is paid in accordance with the resolution by the annual general meeting. Remuneration for the managing director may be decided by the chairman of the board and other board members following a proposition by the remuneration committee. Guidelines for remuneration to senior management are established by the annual general meeting. Market rate terms for salaries and other employment terms is applied to the group management. In addition to fixed yearly salaries, the group management will also receive variable salaries, which are limited and based on the earnings trend compared to fixed targets. Remuneration to certain senior managers within the Enea group of companies may also be paid by way of share related compensation.

Pension agreement

The managing director’s pension agreement states that the pension premium will amount to a fixed percentage of the fixed salary. Other senior managers in Sweden have pension agreements that fall within the ITP-plan with a stipulated retirement age of 65 and pension premiums related to the salary of the employee. Pension premiums will be paid regularly.

Severance pay

In case of dismissal of the managing director by the Company a notice period of six months applies and the same period in case the termination is made by the managing director. In addition, a further compensation corresponding to six months’ salary shall be paid if the Company terminates the employment. All severance payment and compensation for dismissal is to be reduced by any other income based on employment. For all other senior management a notice period of 3-12 months applies.

The terms and remunerations and other general compensation principles for senior management do not deviate for 2009 from the decisions by the annual general meeting 2009. The board reserves a right to deviate from the proposed general principles in specific cases.

The board’s proposition on authorization for the board to issue new shares for share or business acquisitions (item 16)

The board proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board for the time period until the annual general meeting 2011, at one or several occasions, to resolve on new share issues with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights and stipulating payment in kind or other conditions set out in chapter 13 section 5 first paragraph item 6 of the Swedish Companies Act and that the board may set the general terms in the decision. The issue price shall however be based on market practice and may at most equal ten per cent of the number of outstanding shares on the day of this notice.

The reason for the deviation from the preferential rights and the right to decide on payment in kind or other conditions stipulated in the Swedish Companies Act is to enable the Company to issue shares in order to acquire shares or businesses.

Decisions following this item on the agenda require support of shareholders representing at least 2/3 of both cast votes as well as the shares represented at the meeting.

The decision replaces the previous decision on authorization made by the annual general meeting 2009.

The board’s proposition on an employee stock purchase plan (item 17)

The board proposes an adoption of an employment stock purchase plan (the “Plan”) comprising a maximum of 36 senior managers and other key employees in Enea mainly active in Sweden, but also in certain other countries. The participants in the Plan will, following a qualification period and conditional upon a personal investment in Enea shares, be given the opportunity to receive further shares in Enea, such number of shares being dependant of the number of Enea shares invested in, and subject to certain performance requirements to be fulfilled. The qualification period for the Plan is proposed to be approx. three years.

Participation in the Plan requires that the participant acquires and locks up Enea Shares within the scope of the Plan (”Savings share”). An Enea share that the participant owns before the qualification period and that is locked up within the scope of the Plan will also be accounted for as a Savings share. The participant will receive a share in Enea from the Company, or the entity the Company indicates, for each Savings share, following a qualification period of approx. three years (”Matching share”). Due to the fulfilment of specific performance requirements related to Enea’s EBIT-margin during 2010-2012, the participants have a right to receive three further Enea shares gratuitously for each Savings share (”Performance share 2010″, “Performance share 2011″ and “Performance share 2012″). The EBIT-margin is defined as earnings before tax and financial income and expenses, with adjustments due to extraordinary items, if any, and divided with the total turnover.

The performance requirements for the Performance shares are linked to the EBIT-margin, illustrated in the .pdf link at the bottom of this release.

The managing director may receive an extra Performance share for each Savings share, in addition to the outcome in the schedule above, if the maximum performance requirements are fulfilled during all three years 2010-2012 (”Extra Performance share”).

Allotment of Matching shares and Performance shares within the scope of the Plan will be made during a limited period of time following adoption of the annual accounts for the financial year 2012. A condition for the participant to receive allotment of Matching shares and Performance shares, is that the participant remains an employee of the Enea group during the full qualification period and that the participant, during this period, has kept all Savings shares locked up within the scope of the plan. In addition to this, allotment of Performance shares requires that the performance requirements are fulfilled.

The board will decide during May 2010 on participation in the Plan and the maximum number of Matching shares and Performance shares that each participant may receive. At that time the performance of the employee as well as his or hers position in and importance for the Enea group will be considered.

The Plan is divided into four categories of senior managers and key employees who will be able to hold the following maximum numbers of Savings shares per person:

 -      Category A (managing director) maximum 15,000 Savings shares -      Category B (other members of the group management, five persons)        maximum 7,500 Savings shares -      Category C (10 persons) maximum 3,000 Savings shares -      Category D (20 persons) maximum 1,500 Savings shares 

A decision on participation in the Plan requires that, according to the company, it may be accomplished with reasonable administrative and financial costs, if necessary with such minor adjustments of the technical features of the Plan that may be necessary in a jurisdiction outside of Sweden. Before allotment of Performance shares the board shall verify if the allotment is reasonable in relation to the growth, earnings, financial position and development of the Company compared with competitors as well as other considerations. The participants maximum gross profit per Matching and Performance share shall be limited to four times the market price of the Enea share at the beginning of the qualification period, for which reason the number of Performance shares that is allotted to the participant may be reduced accordingly in order to accomplish the limitation.

In order to carry through the Plan in a cost-effective and flexible way, the board proposes that the financial exposure resulting from the Plan, is secured through a customary hedging arrangement for securing liabilities and that the own shares that the Company has acquired is utilized for this purpose. Such treasury shares that the Company acquired in accordance with the previous year’s decision may also be utilized. The arrangement comprises transfer of shares to the participants in the Plan as well as sale of shares on the stock market or to third parties in order to cover costs due to social security contributions and other costs. The Plan may also be hedged by way of share swap agreements or similar arrangements between the Company and third parties.

The Plan will comprise a maximum of 112,500 Savings shares, 112,500 Matching shares and maximum 352,500 Performance shares, of which maximum 112,500 shall consist of each of Performance shares 2010, Performance shares 2011 and Performance shares 2012 and a maximum of 15,000 Extra Performance shares. In addition to this a number of maximum 150,000 shares may be used to secure the Company against financial exposures regarding social security contributions etc.

The maximum number of shares in Enea that is comprised by the Plan amounts to approximately 3.3 per cent of the issued shares on a fully diluted basis and approximately 3.3 percent of the number of votes on a fully diluted basis.

Decisions following this item on the agenda require support of shareholders representing at least 9/10 of both cast votes as well as the shares represented at the meeting.

The board’s proposition to amend the articles of association (item 18)

The board proposes that the annual general meeting amends the articles of association regarding notice to attend general meetings of the shareholders in the Company. The provision regarding notice shall be amended to the current legislation as well as being given a wording that may be registered if certain proposed amendments of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) are adopted.

I. The board proposes that the annual general meeting of shareholders decides on amending the second paragraph in section 7 of the articles of association as follows:

“Notice to attend general meetings of shareholders shall be made through advertisement in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar and in Svenska Dagbladet.”

II. The board proposes that the annual general meeting of shareholders decides on amending the second paragraph in section 7 of the articles of association as follows:

“Notice to attend general meetings of shareholders shall be made through advertisement in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar and on the company’s website. At the time of notice, information regarding the notice shall be advertised in Svenska Dagbladet.”

The annual general meeting’s decision to amend section 7 according to II above shall be conditioned by that the stipulation regarding notice to shareholders meetings in the Companies Act has gained legal force, such that the proposed wording is consistent with the Companies Act.

The board’s proposition on a resolution of a reduction of the share capital relating to treasury shares and a corresponding “bonus issue” increase of the share capital (item 19)

The board proposes that the annual general meeting decides to cancel the shares that have been repurchased based on earlier authorizations by reducing the share capital with SEK 274,543 through cancellation of 274,543 shares without repayment for transfer to a free fund. For the purpose of avoiding the authorization of the registration office/ court, the annual general meeting is also proposed to increase the share capital with SEK 274,543 without issuing new shares and with the use of the reserve fund (a bonus issue).

Other issues

The total amount of shares and votes in the Company at the time of the issuance of this notice is 18,355,714 of which the Company has acquired and holds 1,002,043 treasury shares.

“The team at our office is highly motivated and our clients always come first,” Fakhimi said. “Our support services and I are dedicated to fully encouraging the career field agents to reach their full potential and work effectively with clients to help them achieve their financial goals.”

The San Francisco Bay Area Insurance Agency has produced numerous outstanding career professionals since General Agent Robert Fakhimi joined as head of the office in April of 2001. Agents from San Francisco Bay Area Insurance Agency are top performers — a first year agent just won the esteemed Freshman Five honor (the fifth winner in six years) and another agent is the Top Premium and Top Annuity Producer among all the MassMutual career agents nationally. Headquartered in Walnut Creek and with additional offices in San Francisco, Fremont, Stockton and Milpitas, the Agency now has 123 MassMutual career agents serving the Northern California community.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN — (Marketwire) — 03/16/10 — Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic: ENEA) has not distributed any dividends over the last years. The board now finds it reasonable and desirable to once again distribute dividends to the shareholders based on the establishment of increased profitability requirements, corresponding to an operating margin of 20 per cent regarding Software and 10 per cent regarding Consulting, a strong cash-flow and a large net-cash in combination with a solid financial position. For the year 2009, the Board proposes a one-off distribution of a total of 26,030,057 SEK, equal to SEK 1.50 per share, excluding the amount that refers to the Company’s holding of its own shares. In addition to this, the Board, as previously announced, intends to propose to the annual general meeting a continuation of the repurchase program adopted at the AGM in 2009. A total of 536,270 shares, amounting to a total of MSEK 21.8, have been repurchased during 2009.

Long-term dividend policy

The board has also decided to adopt a long-term dividend policy for 2010 and onwards, entailing at least 30 per cent of the earnings before non- recurring items and after standard taxation to be distributed to the shareholders.

Capital structure

In order for the Company to be able to continue to develop also through acquisitions, the Company may need to be in a net debt position in the course of time. For a company of Enea’s disposition, where development and sale of software is a major part of the business, maintaining a strong financial position is essential. Due to this the board will at all times take the Company’s long-term financial needs into account.
