OpenText Announces Application Governance & Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint 2010

New ECM Offering Provides End-to-End Management of SharePoint 2010 Sites – Maximizes Value of Business Content while Minimizing Overhead Cost

Waterloo, ON. – March 22, 2011 – OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC) today announced the immediate availability of OpenText Application Governance & Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint 2010, a new offering that provides integrated end-to-end management of SharePoint 2010 sites and documents across an entire enterprise.

Using this solution, enterprises can take control over SharePoint sites to enforce broader compliance and archiving policies and help lower ongoing administration and storage costs. It also helps to improve user productivity by opening access to all enterprise content from within SharePoint, ultimately increasing the value of content by giving corporations a robust, well-managed long-term corporate memory.

“Much of enterprise content management comes down to walking a fine line between corporate policy and user productivity,” said Brian Donaldson, Vice President, Microsoft Solutions and Ecosystem, OpenText. “With our Application Governance & Archiving solution, we’re making it much easier for customers to determine the ideal SharePoint user experience while keeping the peace of mind that comes from knowing they have a central retention and records management, and long-term archival system in place.”

As detailed in a new online resource center at www.Better-Together-Central.com, Microsoft and OpenText have joined forces to help companies enable an effective ECM-driven compliance framework, aggregate content within business context, and more easily deploy SharePoint-based business applications with built-in compliance. Companies can also reduce the size of content repositories and eliminate silos, lowering storage and other maintenance costs.

“One of the key strengths of SharePoint 2010 is that it helps companies quickly respond to changing business needs,” said Kim Akers, General Manager for Global Partners at Microsoft Corp. “Using OpenText Application Governance and Archiving with SharePoint, companies can establish rigorous, holistic content governance programs that reduce risk and infrastructure costs while staying nimble and agile.”

Application Governance & Archiving consolidates the functionality in Open Text CLM Services for Microsoft SharePoint and OpenText Case Management Framework for Microsoft SharePoint and adds new site management capabilities. From a web-based site management console, administrators can manage SharePoint success metrics, collect metadata about sites, control approval processes and manage new site deployments using simple scripts. Other capabilities in the solution include:

·       Rule based archiving that requires no user interaction to archive content, while still giving users transparent access to archived content. It also provides the ability to archive and restore complete SharePoint sites and SharePoint administrators can manage the full lifecycle of SharePoint sites beyond just site creation.

·       Support for new business application development on SharePoint using a DoD 5015.02-STD-certified records management infrastructure, open interfaces and reusable components.

·       Storage services for SharePoint that help to reduce the size of SharePoint databases and unload BLOBs from SQL Server.

·       Support for managing physical records in SharePoint.

·       Integration with OpenText Extended ECM for SAP, allowing SharePoint users to access SAP Business Objects within SharePoint.

·       Integration with OpenText ECM Suite 2010 Shared Services that gives SharePoint users  access to content from across the enterprise.

Latest Diversinet mHealth Innovation: Clinical Communicator

Dear Editor,

The new Clinical Communicator application, described in the news release below, builds on Diversinet’s patented MobiSecure® platform and encourages collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem. 

Please let me know if you’d like to learn more from a Diversinet executive – via a phone briefing or a meeting at CTIA.

If you’re at CTIA, you can catch a demonstration of Clinical Communicator at Diversinet’s booth – # 4191 in the Wireless Health Pavilion.

Diversinet Clinical Communicator Enables Secure, Mobile
Communications between Healthcare Professionals and Patients

|
HIPAA-Compliant Application on MobiSecure® Platform
Increases Clinician Productivity, Improves Patient Outcomes
 

TORONTO, March 22, 2011 – Healthcare professionals now have a solution for securely and remotely communicating with patients via mobile devices and tablets, thanks to the Clinical Communicator application announced today by Diversinet Corp. (TSX Venture: DIV, OTCBB: DVNTF).

Clinical Communicator leverages the power and unique functionality of Diversinet’s field-proven MobiSecure® Publisher and MobiSecure SMS, enabling physicians, nurses and other clinicians to communicate securely with their patients via mobile devices and tablets. The mobile client and Web interfaces for healthcare professionals are automated and user-friendly. Patients can continue to use existing MobiSecure mobile clients, such as mClient and mText.

Clinical Communicator is a HIPAA-compliant application that makes it possible for clinicians to securely:

  • Send messages and notices to patients
  • Reply to patients’ questions
  • View and update patient health information
  • Schedule, view, confirm and cancel appointments
  • Send notices to other internal clinicians
  • Send summaries of lab and test results
  • Enable secure remote monitoring via interface with third-party biomedical devices
  • Enable real-time video calling
  • Configure automatic reminders and alerts

Benefits for patients include ability to use smart phones and tablets to ask questions and reply to clinicians; receive automated medication reminders, health tips and alerts; manage their personal health information; view and share health insurance information; schedule appointments; check in; and request prescription renewal.

“Healthcare organizations often rely on fragmented and disparate systems with information that resides in silos, making secure collaboration and communication difficult,” said Diversinet CEO Albert Wahbe. “The Clinical Communicator gives time-challenged health professionals a tool to deliver the right information at the right time, making it faster and easier to communicate with patients and collaborate across the healthcare ecosystem.”

Clinical Communicator will be available for trials in June. Diversinet will market the application through partnerships with large healthcare organizations, including providers and pharmaceutical companies. Clinical Communicator is also suitable for drug and clinical trials and for case and disease management. It is designed to help healthcare organizations fulfill Meaningful Use (MU) requirements.

Diversinet will demonstrate Clinical Communicator in Booth 4191 in the Wireless Health Pavilion at the CTIA Wireless convention at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., from March 22-24.

NEWS RELEASE: Cisco, EllisDon and FlexITy Team Up To Help Make Sault Area Hospital One of Canada's Most Advanced Digital Hospitals


Please see below for a news release about how the Sault Area Hospital
in northern Ontario has become one of the most advanced digital
healthcare facilities in Canada, made possible by a joint effort from
Cisco, EllisDon and FlexITy. If you would like to schedule a briefing
with a spokesperson regarding this release, please contact Andrea Berry
(andberry@cisco.com) or Karin Scott (kariscot@cisco.com).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cisco, EllisDon and FlexITy Team Up To Help Make Sault Area Hospital
One of Canada's Most Advanced Digital Hospitals

Hospital Vision Regarded IT as Integral Design Component

TORONTO, Ontario, March  22, 2011 - Cisco, EllisDon Corp. and FlexITy
Solutions, a Cisco Gold Certified and Master Unified Communications
Specialized Partner, today announced the completion of one of the most
advanced digital health care facilities in the country at Sault Area
Hospital.

The hospital opened its doors to patients on March 6 to deliver
leading-edge facility operations and clinical services to its
constituency as a result of the careful collaboration among
architectural design, construction and information technologies that
formed the foundation for this project.  The hospital infrastructure
will run on a Cisco® Medical-Grade Network, providing multiple services
across one Internet Protocol (IP) network supporting data, voice and
video, and facilitating and integrating diverse business and clinical
communications between patients, administrators and partners in a highly
secure environment.

The medical-grade network utilizes 802.11n wireless technology to run
bandwidth-intensive, multimedia-rich applications, providing information
to health care providers when they need it no matter where they are in
the facility, even at the bedside. The network technology also means
more residents of the Algoma region will be able to receive the care
they need without traveling long distances to larger city centers.

Project Highlights:

* Working closely with hospital officials, EllisDon, the primary
builder of the facility, and FlexITy Solutions, the technology
consultancy, proposed the Cisco Medical-Grade Network to improve patient
care, increase efficiencies and reduce costs.

* All hospital systems are IP-enabled within the network, including
Cisco Unified Communications, physical security systems, lighting,
building controls and surgical suite video capabilities. Surgical suites
are connected to the Ontario Telemedicine Network, allowing remote
access to live high-definition video collaboration resources.
Specialists in other locations can provide expert advice during
surgeries, and videos can be used for teaching purposes.

* EllisDon's Information and Communication Technology Service division
designed the Cisco IP-phone patient-bedside terminals. Once installation
is complete, the terminals will provide patients with telephony,
entertainment services, lighting controls, Internet access and nurse
call. The terminals also support bedside charting and access to patient
data, delivering clinical information with a high degree of security at
the point of care.

* FlexITy designed and delivered the 10-gigabit medical-grade network,
incorporating Cisco Catalyst® 6513 and 4510 switches, Cisco Aironet®
1142 wireless access points and Cisco CleanAir technology to optimize
the wireless network and mitigate the impact of wireless interference.
The network also supports Cisco Unified Communications, Cisco IP Phones
7945G and 7911G,  and Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phones 7925G.  In
addition, all building controls and physical security were added to the
network.

* Location-based services with radio frequency identification tracking
is available to locate hospital assets and assist in the safety of
patients and staff.

* The Cisco Medical-Grade Network facilitates and integrates diverse
business and clinical communications throughout the continuum of care,
providing anyt
ime, anywhere information capture and access for wired and
wireless applications and devices. The network supports data, voice and
video networks and enables the transfer and storage of the large amounts
of data created by health care applications. The Cisco Medical-Grade
Networks supports the unique information, technology, bandwidth and
integration challenges of health care while providing identity- and
policy-based security from inside the network to beyond organizational
walls.

Supporting Quotes:

* Jeff Weeks, chief information officer, Sault Area Hospital

"The nature and future of health care is changing, and our vision for
the new Sault Area Hospital has been to lead that change. With
tremendous support from government and our technology partners, we are
delighted to have built this leading-edge facility for northern Ontario.
The expertise of our partners has allowed us to build in future-proof
networking technology from the blueprint level, helping us to deliver
new and innovative services to our patients, clinical staff and
community."

* Brantz Myers, director, Healthcare Business Development, Cisco
Canada

"Providing the best health care requires visionary thinking. Sault Area
Hospital has built an enviable service-delivery platform for patients,
staff and guests, providing a new level of care and access to residents
in the Algoma region. It is a tremendous example of what can be
accomplished by combining Connected Real Estate expertise and IT best
practices to create a truly Smart Healthcare Facility ."

* Stephen Foster, director of ICT services, EllisDon Corp.

"The construction process was truly a collaborative effort.  The
hospital recognized the value of incorporating ICT solutions early on in
the construction planning phase to boost the efficiency of hospital
systems and processes, improve patient care, and maximize budget by
providing the best solutions for the hospital.  We were able to ensure
the IT systems were working to support the hospital and that they were
delivered on time and on budget. "

* Peter Stavropoulos, CEO, FlexITy Solutions Inc.

"Sault Area Hospital is a visionary facility with one of the most
comprehensive network solutions of its kind in Canada - one that
supports the hospital's vision of providing excellence in health care."

NEWS RELEASE: EMC Announces Data Hero Awards 2011

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EMC Announces Data Hero Awards 2011

First Annual Award to Honour Innovators Using Big Data to Improve How
We Work and Live

HOPKINTON, Mass – March 21, 2011 – EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC), the
world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced
the Data Hero Awards 2011, sponsored by EMC, a far-reaching program to
honour those individuals and organizations exploring innovative uses of
Big Data technologies and techniques. These often-unsung Data Heroes are
at the forefront of pioneering solutions that have a profound impact on
the way individuals, organizations, entire industries and societies live
and work. Initiatives like these are driving a new economy for jobs in a
variety of industries, including the emerging field of data science.

Complete details and entry form can be found at www.dataheroawards.com

Data Hero 2011 honourees, comprising the Data Hero Visionary Award and
six Data Hero Awards for Technology Excellence across a range of
industry sectors, will be announced at EMC World 2011
(http://www.emcworld.com/?cid=ew11_emcdotcom_home_static_module_promo)
in Las Vegas, May 9-12. Nominations will be reviewed by a prestigious
panel of independent judges, representing a cross section of the
foremost Big Data thinkers and practitioners across business, academia
and the media, including:
* Tom Davenport, President's Distinguished Professor of Information
Technology & Management, Babson College and Co-founder of the
International Institute for Analytics
* Kevin Davies, Editor-in-Chief of Bio-IT World and the author of "The
US$1000 Genome: The Revolution in DNA Sequencing and the New Era of
Personalized Medicine”
* Susan Feldman, Research Vice President, Search and Discovery
Technologies, IDC
* Dr. Michael Freed, Program Director, AI Center, SRI

“The Big Data era has arrived. Through the convergence of massive
scale-out storage and next-generation analytics, businesses are seeing
Big Data as a big opportunity,” said Jeremy Burton, Executive Vice
President and Chief Marketing Officer, EMC Corporation. “The EMC Data
Hero Awards recognize business and IT leaders who have leveraged Big
Data for competitive advantage."

According to the EMC-sponsored IDC Digital Universe Study
(http://www.emc.com/about/news/press/2010/20100504-01.htm), between 2009
and 2020, the amount of information created annually will grow 44 times
as a result of data-driven Web 2.0 and mobile applications, databases
and records produced by government, healthcare and retail organizations,
as well as individuals. This proliferation is pushing managers to
re-architect IT infrastructures to store, manage and secure vast amounts
of this data. It also has spawned a revolution called Big Data. Big Data
opens new windows of opportunity to create and apply technology to
analyze quickly these massive volumes of information to find insights
that are driving business and societal change. Today, for example,
organizations are leveraging the power of Big Data to discover new
drugs, isolate and prevent diseases, spot business trends, combat crime,
improve oil refining and speed supply chain processes.

* Impact – Does the solution create new business value, change
industry dynamics or significantly improve lives?
* Innovation – Does the solution move outside conventional processes

cool” when using the solution?

NEWS RELEASE: Cisco Wireless Solutions Extend Corporate Network Performance From Headquarters to the Home for Teleworkers

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cisco Wireless Solutions Extend Corporate Network Performance From
Headquarters to the Home for Teleworkers

New Cisco OfficeExtend Dual-Band 802.11n Access Points and Wireless
Controllers Extend the Corporate Wireless Network and Company Resources
to Remote Locations

SAN JOSE, Calif. - March 21, 2011 - Cisco today announced new wireless
hardware and software solutions designed to extend the corporate
wireless network from the office to the home teleworker, incorporating
existing control, management and security infrastructure.

The Cisco® OfficeExtend solution includes new access points and a full
line of wireless controllers that offer high-performance wireless
connectivity and include the industry's first dual-band 802.11n access
point specifically designed for teleworkers. These new solutions require
no intervention from end users, lowering information technology support
requirements and overall cost of ownership by allowing IT professionals
to remotely manage home access points alongside the corporate
infrastructure.

Cisco's new wireless controllers are designed to support the
deployments of increasing scale and sophistication across any home or
office environment. The new Cisco® Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Service
Module supports up to 500 corporate and "teleworking" access points and
can be scaled to support the increasing number of mobile devices running
rich-media applications such as telepresence, voice and virtual
desktops.

Announcement Highlights

The Cisco OfficeExtend solution comprises the Cisco Aironet® 600 Series
OfficeExtend Access Points, Cisco wireless controllers and the Cisco
Wireless Control System. These new solutions provide support for a rich
home teleworking experience consistent with office mobility performance,
and complement the Cisco Virtual Office (CVO) solution with additional
wireless connectivity options for teleworkers. The Cisco OfficeExtend
Solution is both voice- and video-ready and includes services such as
Cisco ClientLink and Cisco VideoStream to optimize the performance of
rich media communications. The new components of the Cisco OfficeExtend
solution include:

* The new Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Points
incorporate an 802.11n dual-radio design that supports both 2.4 and 5
GHz radio bands, allowing access to the least congested and highest
performance band available. By providing separate corporate and personal
Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs), the Cisco 600 Series access points
segment private traffic from corporate traffic, allowing personal
traffic, such as in the home, to be directed to the Internet rather than
to corporate controllers. Other features include four integrated
Ethernet ports for connecting IP phones, printers and other network
devices in the home office to deliver a complete teleworking mobility
solution.

* The new Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series Wireless Services Module chassis
supports up to 500 corporate and teleworking access points and allows
customers to scale large wireless LANs to support the increasing number
of mobile devices running rich-media applications such as Telepresence,
voice and virtual desktops. The Cisco Wireless Service Module for the
Catalyst 6500 also includes Cisco CleanAir technology for interference
management, Cisco ClientLink beamforming technology to boost client
performance, and Cisco VideoStream technology to optimize multicast
video over wireless.

* For smaller networks, the new Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controllers
and software for the Cisco ISR G2 Services-Ready Engine offer 802.11n
service for up to 50 access points and 500 clients. An innovative
delivery model gives customers two options for deploying controller
functionality – either physically with the Wireless Services Module or
the 2500 Series Wireless Controller, or online by downloading the
software on demand to the ISR G2 Services Ready Engine module. The Cisco
2500 Series Wireless
 Controller and Wireless Controller Software for ISR
G2 Services-Ready Engine also includes CleanAir, ClientLink and
VideoStream technology.

* Ray Smets, vice president and general manager, Wireless Networking
Business Unit, Cisco

"The proliferation of smart mobile devices, the adoption of cloud
services, and even government regulation are all changing the concept of
workplace, and many employees have both the expectation and need to work
from home. The Cisco OfficeExtend solution addresses the need for
organizations to provide simple, highly secure wireless access to
company resources for teleworkers either at home or in the office."

* Ron Hutchins, associate vice provost,  Research and Technology, and
chief technology officer, Georgia Institute of Technology

"Migrating to the second generation wireless service module will allow
us to effectively scale our wireless system to meet the demands of
students and faculty. Wireless has become the preferred network
connection method and, therefore, has become a critical service for us.
Moving to the next-generation service module allows us to protect our
existing investment and be ready for ever increasing wireless networking
demands."

to be available May 2011

For Immediate Release:


Community over Quantity at FabFind.com


Toronto, ON (March 18, 2011) It is generally acknowledged that Group Buying services such as GroupOn are largely publicity exercises for participating businesses, relying on bulk couponing and social networks to encourage trial of a product or service.


FabFind.com takes this basic marketing concept one step farther to ensure that a business is being promoted to motivated, enthusiastic, and long-term consumers.

With an urban, savvy membership of 50 000+ shoppers in Toronto alone, FabFind is unique. Unlike group buying, deals are not dependent on bulk sales of the offer.  Limited quantities are set with sustainability and consumer experience in mind.

FabFind.com has built a social commerce community with regular freebies (Leaf Box Seats, Gift Certificates, Gourmet Coffee, etc.), altruistic social media campaigns ($1000 to a FB Selected Cause, Help Name Rommy's Baby) and other members-only offers for events around town.


A recent FabFind.com customer satisfaction survey found:

- 95% Consumers would return to the business
- 73% Consumers would pay full price for their deal


FabFind.com reached $1 million in revenue in just under six months of operation, and averages 3000 deals/week sold (vs. hundreds at comparable group buying sites). 

This spring, FabFind.com expands nationwide, beginning with Montreal and Vancouver followed by Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa, and across the country by summer.


CEO Bill Heilmann, formerly Global Brand Director at BBDO Chicago, is available to explain his unique localized community marketing approach, both for local businesses and FabFind.com
