ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — While the general employment market remains anemic, IT employment reached another all-time high in July, according to the National Association of computer Consultant Businesses (NACCB), which tracks monthly IT employment.
The association reported IT employment reached 3,907,000 in July, a record high. While the July gain was modest (2,800) from the previous month (following a small downward revision in June’s numbers), IT employment has turned in a strong performance over the past year. From July 2007 through the current month, IT employment is up 251,000, or 6.7 percent — far outpacing the general employment market.
“While IT has not been immune to the negative macroeconomic trends, it appears that a number of companies in IT and IT employment are outperforming the general economy. This is in stark contrast to the last major economic pullback where IT and IT employment dramatically underperformed the broader economy and job market,” commented Mark Roberts, CEO of NACCB.
The IT employment index is published by the National Association of computer Consultant Businesses (NACCB), the national trade association representing IT staffing and solutions firms. For complete IT index please visit .
Technical note: NACCB’s IT Employment Index is the first specific measurement of IT employment. This unique measurement of total IT employment is created monthly by studying the ongoing staffing patterns of a dozen IT and computer related occupations in 16 industries and industry sectors employing significant numbers of IT workers including the manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, financial, information services, business and professional services, and education and health industries. The monthly IT Employment Index is based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, which is subject to monthly revisions, with concomitant revisions to the Index. The IT Employment Index is also subject to annual revisions of BLS data. The IT Index was rebenchmarked in February 2008 with the publication of the BLS January 2008 employment report, reflecting significant revisions of employment data from the past several years.

LONGUEUIL, QC, July 8 /PRNewswire/ — HumanWare expands its low vision product line with the announcement of four new video magnifiers at Vision 2008, an international conference on low vision being held in Montreal this week. With these new products, HumanWare is better able to serve the needs of the growing number of people with low vision - those whose vision cannot be completely corrected even with the most powerful prescription glasses.
HumanWare’s new video magnifiers are designed to meet the needs of different environments and applications. Each product offers unique features to improve the user’s independence.
The new products include:
SmartView Pocket. an extremely lightweight handheld video magnifier that can be used in the home or around town, wherever things are too small to see. Large, intuitive buttons make the unit easy to use. The Pocket provides up to 9x magnification on its 3.6-inch LCD screen.
SmartView Graduate. Ideally suited for helping low vision students fully participate in class by being able to see across the room and magnify items on their desk. The Graduate connects to a notebook computer via a USB interface to provide up to 50x magnification on the computer screen. The camera turns to view the desktop or distant objects. The unit easily fits into a computer bag and weighs only 2.5 pounds, which makes it extremely easy to carry between classes.
SmartView Nano. The smallest video magnifier available at a very affordable price. The Nano magnifies objects from 5x to 20x, making it easy to read fine print on pill bottles, ingredients on product labels, or seat numbers on theater tickets.
SmartView Mobile. A portable video magnifier with a 7-inch screen, providing up to 18x magnification. The Mobile is ideal for those who need a portable device but cannot compromise on magnification and screen size. Perfect for taking to the library, carrying around home or using at the office.
“With these new products, HumanWare has significantly increased its offering of portable devices,” explains Ted Judge, Product Manager. “Users want to be able to read regular or small print wherever they are, and these new additions to the SmartView family help people see and read, whether at home, the store, the office, or out on the town.”

DENVER, April 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In a move to create a technically flawless event and engage more people in the Convention experience using cutting-edge technology, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) today announced that microsoft Corporation has been named as the Official Software and HD Web Content Provider for the 2008 Democratic National Convention, to be held August 25-28 in Denver.
(Logo: )
“Microsoft’s standing as an industry leader in software development makes them an ideal partner for the DNCC,” said Leah D. Daughtry, CEO of the DNCC. “From voting to nominate the next President of the United States to adopting a national platform, there is a significant amount of important Party business that goes on at each and every Convention. Microsoft’s pioneering technology will play an integral role in powering the business of the Party in Denver.”
As the Official Software and HD Web Content Provider, microsoft will provide the DNCC with technologies and applications to enhance engagement with Web viewers, delegates, members of the media and other Convention guests and to support delegate tracking, voting and the management of credentials.
A cornerstone of the DNCC’s technologically-savvy event will be the delegate voting system. During the nomination process, microsoft technology will support a voting system that will provide up-to-the-minute delegate vote totals electronically to the Office of the Secretary of the Democratic National Committee, allowing timely reporting of vote tallies as compiled by each delegation’s Chair.
The DNCC will utilize microsoft software to support the delegate tracking system to gather and manage a multitude of information about Convention participants. In addition, microsoft technology will support the creation of a software platform to support the DNCC’s credentialing operation, facilitating the management and distribution of credentials for the event.
And in a first for a political Convention, Silverlight, Microsoft’s platform for interactive Web applications and HD video, in conjunction with the Level 3 Communications network, will bring live, gavel-to-gavel Convention video coverage of the highest quality to a worldwide audience via the DNCC’s Web site at DemConvention.com. Silverlight multimedia applications will provide an all-access pass for the Convention’s online audience, offering an unprecedented opportunity for viewers to individually tailor their Convention experiences.
“Microsoft is proud to be a technology partner for the Democratic National Convention through our donation of software, technology services and content,” said Brad Smith, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Microsoft. “Technology is playing an increasingly critical role in the electoral process, and contributing to the Convention allows microsoft to help ensure that the Democratic Party, its delegates as well as voters watching in their homes and on the Internet are able to take full advantage of the benefits.”
In addition to custom development, microsoft is providing the DNCC with the latest in industry-leading software including business productivity, email, content services and real-time collaboration applications.
While providing valuable technological tools in the lead up to and during the Convention, microsoft will also contribute to the DNCC’s “greening” efforts by tracking the company’s carbon footprint for Convention-related energy consumption, including all trips, deliveries, shipping transport of goods and staff air and ground travel. The DNCC aims to make this year’s Convention the most environmentally-sustainable event of its kind by applying sustainable planning principles to every decision in the lead-up to the four-day event.
About the DNCC:
The 2008 Democratic National Convention Committee is the official arm of the Democratic National Committee responsible for planning and organizing the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver.

CHICAGO, April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Open Text(TM) Corporation , a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), today announced the release of a sponsored IDC white paper that reveals how the ever-growing adoption of microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for creating, managing and sharing documents is fueling increased demand for software that provides a repository of record for companies’ vast amounts of content and data. As detailed in the white paper, Open Text offers a complete set of ECM offerings that “augment and extend the Office SharePoint Server 2007 environment so that content from Office SharePoint Server 2007 sites can be centrally structured and managed, connected to other organizational content resources, and incorporated into industry or process-based content applications.”
Organizations across a broad spectrum of industries are deploying Office SharePoint Server 2007, which gives users throughout the organization the ability to see and use documents uploaded to the collaborative system. But this success is driving the need for solutions that build upon that platform, according to the recently released IDC white paper, sponsored by Open Text, Open Text and microsoft Office SharePoint Server: The Road to Greater Productivity (IDCWP06Q, March 2008).
“At the most basic level, people need the ability to store, share and find their business documents. Organizations are struggling with information management issues, and with how to manage content throughout its lifecycle,” the leading market research firm reported.
IDC found that the number one concern for organizations seeking to purchase content management solutions was the need for a repository of record “so nothing is lost.” More than 70 percent of IDC’s 436-member Enterprise Panel cited the need for a repository of record as their top motivator for adopting ECM. Securing intellectual property ranked second at 64 percent, followed closely with “making it easy to reuse and/or repurpose content” (62 percent). Respondents also cited the need to adhere to retention policies for compliance as well as improve collaboration around creating content and making content available through multiple channels.
Companies that make technology investments understandably want their employees-regardless of their skills-sets or ways of using the technology-to get the maximum benefits. This is driving the demand for “invisible content management” that makes content management systems a seamless part of users’ systems. “This brings more employees into the content management fold by incorporating their locally stored content into the more structured overarching systems and processes for managing content,” IDC said. Additionally it improves employees’ access to their company’s content repositories, so they don’t spend as much time searching for relevant information.
Through its strategic alliance with Microsoft, Open Text offers optimized ECM solutions for the microsoft platform, including records management and archiving that enable the implementation of a repository of record. A microsoft Gold Certified Partner and Global ISV Partner of the Year, Open Text has built on its extensive expertise in content management to take advantage of SharePoint’s resident core content services to create vertical solutions and enable enterprise-wide connections across multiple SharePoint Server 2007 sites.
“We recognize the tremendous growth of Office SharePoint Server to enhance knowledge worker productivity and collaboration, and through our close alignment with microsoft and long-history in ECM we are well positioned to share in this growth,” said Jens Rabe, Vice President, microsoft Applications and Solutions Line of Business for Open Text. “As this IDC white paper explains, due to our rich history in ECM software, we are the natural next step for enterprises seeking maximum value from their investment in ECM technologies.”
Open Text is a leader in delivering solutions that extend the microsoft platform. Last year, Open Text opened a new office in Microsoft’s Partner Solution Center in Redmond, WA., to further its relationship with Microsoft, and to better align product strategy and direction.
Over the last year, Open Text has introduced a string of new solutions that enhance Office SharePoint Server 2007. Last year, the company was first-to-market with a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)-certified records management solution for Office SharePoint Server 2007. This year’s new offerings include a document management integration introduced by RedDot, the Open Text Web Solutions Group (); a new offering for the law firm market that delivers legal applications in SharePoint Server 2007 (); and the release of a development framework for the creation of case management applications in Office SharePoint Server 2007 ().

WATFORD, England, June 16 /PRNewswire/ — Salmon, a specialist in delivering eCommerce solutions today
announces that they have implemented a new eCommerce platform to support the
vision of Scotts & Co., for 50% of turnover to be delivered by the online
channel by 2011 and to maximise opportunities offered by the new online
market.

Recently re-branded Scotts & Co, the company holds nine brands
in their existing portfolio; these include Scotts of Stow, Cucina Direct, The

and drive revenue growth.

Wendy Derbyshire, Director of eBusiness & IT at Scotts & Co
says: “We didn’t have an infinite budget, and needed nine eCommerce websites
to be developed under tight deadlines, without compromising on the areas we
see as key, namely scalability, rich functionality, business-user control
and, above all the ability to differentiate and deliver a great customer
experience.

“SAFE(TM) and Salmon’s track record in delivering eCommerce
solutions on time and on budget helped us decide they were the right partner
for us. During the project they provided us with the perfect approach, a
combination of software, services and consultancy meeting and exceeding our
expectations.”

built using SAFE(TM) (Salmon’s Application Framework for eCommerce), a series
of pre-configured, reusable and customisable eCommerce components which
combine with a mature project delivery methodology. SAFE(TM) allows Salmon to
deliver very sophisticated eCommerce solutions rapidly, significantly
lowering the risks traditionally associated with launching a new eCommerce
capability, or replacing an existing eCommerce platform.

Scotts & Co’s new eCommerce platform ensures maximised site
performance, scalability and adaptability. Each Scotts brand will be able to
deliver a rich, relevant customer experience. Common business services across
brands can be reused at each point of interaction (store, contact centre, web
etc).

Salmon has also ensured that Scotts & Co can use intuitive,
role-based tools to empower better merchandising and increase customer
service across channels. Rich, out-of-the-box capabilities for catalogue and
content management, member management, contracts and entitlements,
negotiations, order management has also been provided.

The technology behind the eCommerce platform is a single
instance of ibm WebSphere Commerce (IBM WC) Enterprise Edition.

Built to benefit from open technology standards, Salmon has
integrated ibm WC with Scotts & Co. back office systems namely Elucid and
Stibo Step, Mercado for optimized search and browse and Coremetrics for
online analytics and marketing. The sites will run on HP hardware running
Linux and ibm DB2.

“Salmon executed the project with integrity and passion and
the speed at which the sites have gone live is incredibly impressive,” says
Derbyshire. “Furthermore, we now have complete control and ownership of our
e-commerce system acquiring faster routes to market and the ability to trial
new brands quickly and cost effectively. We have been extremely happy with
the results to-date and have already seen a 25% uplift on conversion rates.”
Salmon has delivered a range of sophisticated and award
winning eCommerce solutions for Argos, Halfords, Arcadia Group, ICI Dulux and
Homebase.

WASHINGTON, May 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — An Oregon man pleaded guilty today to selling counterfeit computer software with a retail value of more than $1 million, in addition to aggravated identity theft and mail fraud, announced Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division Alice S. Fisher and Karin J. Immergut, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. This case is part of the Justice Department’s initiative to combat online auction piracy.
Jeremiah Joseph Mondello, 23, of Eugene, Ore., pleaded guilty to one count each of criminal copyright infringement, aggravated identity theft and mail fraud before U.S. District Court Judge Ann L. Aiken in Eugene. Mondello faces up to 27 years in prison, a maximum fine of $500,000 and three years of supervised release. Sentencing has been set for July 23, 2008.
According to documents filed in court, between December 2005 and October 2007, Mondello initiated thousands of separate online auctions, using more than 40 fictitious usernames and online payment accounts to sell copies of counterfeit software and receive the illicit money from those sales. Mondello generated more than $400,000 in personal profit as a result of the sales.
In addition, Mondello admitted to stealing individuals’ identifying information to establish online payment accounts in their names. Mondello acquired victims’ names, bank account numbers and passwords by using a computer keystroke logger program to surreptitiously obtain this information. The keystroke logger program installed itself on the victim’s computer and then recorded the victim’s name and bank account information as the information was being typed. The program then electronically sent the information back to Mondello, and he used this stolen information to establish the online payment accounts.
Including today’s plea, the Department of Justice has secured 29 convictions involving online auction and commercial distribution of counterfeit software. The Department of Justice’s initiative to combat online auction piracy is just one of several steps being undertaken to address the losses caused by intellectual property theft and hold responsible those defendants engaged in criminal copyright infringement.
Mondello’s case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Cyber Crimes Center and offices in Seattle, Portland, Ore., and Medford, Ore. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Marc Miller of the Criminal Division’s computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section and Sean B. Hoar, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. The Software and Information Industry Association, a trade association which represents leading computer software companies, provided significant assistance to the investigation.
