Cambridge, November 5 2008 – ip.access (www.ipaccess.com), the multi-award winning developer of picocell and femtocell solutions to boost mobile phone coverage indoors, today announced the appointment of Philip Rimell as its new Chief Operating Officer.

Philip Rimell joins ip.access from telecoms solutions provider JacobsRimell, which he co-founded in 1997 to provide automated provisioning and activation for a wide range of IP-based services to cable, wireline and wireless operators. Rimell was responsible for the architecture that underpinned all JacobsRimell products and growth prior to its acquisition by Amdocs in 2008.

Rimell succeeds outgoing ip.access COO Alan Hewitt, who is retiring after having successfully established ip.access’ femtocell delivery programme.

Welcoming Rimell, Stephen Mallinson, CEO of ip.access, said, “Everybody here at ip.access is excited to have such a respected industry figure as Philip joining our management team. His experience and expertise in delivering major systems for the fixed and mobile telecoms market strengthens ip.access’ capability to meet the needs of our operator customers and sustain the company’s growth and ongoing success, which Alan Hewitt was instrumental in helping to establish. We are immensely grateful for Alan’s contribution and wish him a very happy retirement.”

The worldwide demand for picocells and femtocells continues to grow rapidly. ip.access’ nanoGSM® solution is the world's most deployed picocell, helping mobile network operators improve coverage and capacity for enterprises, SMEs and in public spaces. The ip.access Oyster 3G™ femtocell extends these benefits into the home, with the first commercial launches expected in the first half of 2009.

In August, ip.access was named to the Sunday Times Tech Track 100 list of the UK’s fastest-growing technology companies for the second successive year. The company has also won numerous industry awards - including a Global Mobile Award and a World Communications Award - for its Oyster3G femtocell product.

Unites PIN Entry and Contactless in One Customer-Facing Device; Contactless Initiative also includes SingleCI Interface for Current and Future Investments

PARIS, France – November 4, 2008 – (CARTES & IDentification 2008, Stand 3 H018) - VeriFone Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PAY), today introduced a contactless version of its popular PINpad 1000SE, further expanding the industry’s broadest line of contactless payment solutions.

VeriFone today also unveiled SingleCI (Single Contactless Interface), a unifying programming interface with development tools that allows acquirers and developers to leverage existing contactless investments, adapt to future needs, and take advantage of the company’s entire contactless portfolio. SingleCI is compatible with today’s industry-leading contactless interfaces.

The contactless PINpad 1000SE combines two payment peripherals—PIN entry and contactless—into one space-saving device that reduces costs and support burdens. Suitable for use worldwide, the PCI PED approved PINpad1000SE contactless version is backward-compatible with earlier versions, and features USB or serial connectivity for easy connection to electronic cash registers and POS devices.

“We are unleashing contactless by making it effortlessly available in the best-selling PIN entry device on the market today,” said Paul Rasori, VeriFone senior vice president, marketing. “Acquirers can literally swap out an older PINpad 1000SE for this new solution. That makes it easy for them to deploy contactless applications to merchants for acceptance of contactless payments from the widest range of card brands, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.”

The PINpad 1000SE contactless version also supports non-payment applications, such as MiFare, and will be commercially available in the first half of 2009.

SingleCI provides a single interface to VeriFone’s entire contactless portfolio, so developers can write one program that will operate on any VeriFone contactless system. “VeriFone’s SingleCI takes the pain out of working with contactless, providing acquirers and developers with the ability to invest once to create multiple solutions that run across our contactless product line in countertop, multi-lane, unattended, and drive-thru environments,” Rasori said.

Fully compatible with common industry interfaces, SingleCI enables acquirers to leverage their existing investments in contactless platforms. In addition, it future-proofs new investments by providing development tools that enable acquirers to easily add new features and applications, and adapt to changing specifications such as the NFC (Near-Field Communications) standard.

Mobile phones help with charitable giving thanks to Tanla Mobile

London, UK; 14th October 2008: The ever-popular ‘Poppy Download’ returns for this year’s Poppy Appeal as Tanla Mobile has been chosen by The Royal British Legion to run the mobile phone element of their 2008 Poppy Appeal.

Poppy Downloads allow members of the public to make a donation using their mobile phones and in exchange receive a poppy for their mobile phone wallpaper.

The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal is one of the best known and supported campaigns in the country. Its aim is to raise funds to support the Legion’s work in providing financial, social and emotional support to people who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces, and their dependants.

For the first time, The Royal British Legion is including a short-code number on their nationwide poster campaign, inviting people to show their support by texting ‘POPPY’ to 80848 to make a £1.50 donation. Alternatively, donations of up to £10 using Payforit (WAP) billing can be made by visiting the popular internet portals 3 and Vodafone, via www.poppy.org, which are supporting the campaign.

“We wanted the mobile phone to play a more prominent role in this year’s Poppy Appeal and needed to work with an experienced mobile specialist who are comfortable providing the mobile technology for a high-profile, national campaign,” said Russell Thompson OBE, Director of National Events and Fund raising at The Royal British Legion.

He added: “Tanla Mobile understood how much value mobile phones can add to a campaign, 80848 is a dedicated charity code set up by Tanla that allows The Royal British Legion to take advantage of all charitable donations by SMS.”

Louise Ford, Tanla’s UK Head of Sales, commented: “We are very excited to be working on the Poppy Appeal with The Royal British Legion; providing a fully-managed service that includes billing, content management, mobile portal creation and a customer service helpdesk. Including a mobile element as part of the overall campaign will work very well. It is a straightforward, convenient way for people to donate, and is also a great way to encourage the younger generation to make a contribution. The Poppy Appeal is one of the best known and supported campaigns in the UK and we are very proud to be associated with it.”

Global leader in ITIL Education announces formal recognition of quality service delivery

Reading, UK – October 8, 2008. Pink Elephant UK today announced that it has been successfully assessed and accredited by the Institute of IT Training having demonstrated its “commitment to high quality and process improvement in the provision of IT Training”. The Institute of IT is the world's first professional body for IT training professionals and is the leading authority throughout the UK and Europe on IT training and development.

Pink Elephant has been delivering IT Service Management Education since the inception of the IT Infrastructure library. As the first organisation to develop and introduce the ITIL Foundation course, firstly in Holland and then in the UK, Pink Elephant was also the first company to develop and introduce the single process ITIL Practitioner range of courses, plus the first to develop and launch the multi-process Practitioner Courses. The company retains a high level of experience: Ron Beales, who is still with the organisation, wrote the original IT Service Support and Delivery courses and co-presented the pilot sessions with the Civil Service College.

With over 30 years of IT Service experience, Pink Elephant has a long history of aiding the development of the IT Service Management market on a global basis.
Pink Elephant contributed to version 1 and 2 of the IT Infrastructure library, was selected to manage the re-write of the IT Service Support set of ITIL books delivered in 2000, and also authored the ITIL v3 volume – Continual Service Improvement.

So why accreditation now? Alan McCarthy, Regional Director for Pink Elephant EMEA, explains: “The reason for applying for accreditation at this point in time was to demonstrate that Pink Elephant’s commitment to high quality service delivery is still critical to our success. The ITIL market has exploded over the past few years and large numbers of training organisations, individuals, and IT Service providers now purport to be ‘experts’ in the field”. He continues: “Achieving a prestigious external accreditation supports our position of being a quality education provider. An independent validation and perspective enables the company to build on its core strengths and identifies opportunities for continual service improvement”.

The benefit to the customers is the assurance that Pink Elephant conforms to a professional Code of Practice, and that the marketing of the company is honest, verifiable and accurately represents the services offered. With a rigorous internal “Train the Trainer” programme, fully accredited materials and lecturers, Pink Elephant is also confident that it is delivering to the standards required by our customers.

Small-Footprint Vx 700 Payment Solution is Outdoor-Ready for Use in Kiosks, Vending Machines, Ticketing Devices and Other Unattended Systems

SAN JOSE, CA – September 29, 2008 – VeriFone Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PAY), today announced the Vx 700, an electronic payments module that delivers the power and security of the Verix V architecture to kiosks, vending machines, ticketing devices and other systems where cash has traditionally been the primary payment method.

Designed to meet stringent PCI PED and EMV security standards, the Vx 700 integrates with VeriFone’s SCR710 secure card reader and an external contactless payments interface to provide a powerful and flexible solution for multiple electronic payments options. The entire device, including keypad and high-resolution display, is built to fit into standard bill acceptor cutouts making it simple to extend support for magnetic stripe, chip cards and contactless payments into traditional cash-only kiosks, ticketing and vending machines.

“Consumers worldwide want to be able to use their cards for payment in any environment and the Vx 700 makes it easy for manufacturers and systems integrators to accommodate that demand in their self-service solutions,” said Paul Rasori, senior vice president, marketing. “Verix V developer tools and an extensive developer network enable Vx 700 customers to leverage existing certified payment applications or provide customized solutions for unique unattended environments.”

The Vx 700 is well-suited to applications such as parking payment machines that utilize low-power modes when idle, but must power up quickly when a customer is ready to use them. For vending applications, the Vx 700 is designed to meet both EVA and NAMA size specifications for maxi bill acceptors common to most machines deployed today. In addition to secure payment capabilities, the Vx 700 can be used as a vending machine controller or as a transit payments processing engine.

Featuring laser-engraved, petro-chemical resistant keys, vandal-resistant housing, an IP65 rating and capable of withstanding wide temperature variations, the Vx 700 is highly suited to outdoor use, from petroleum retailers to parking lots.

The new e-commerce site brings together four, previously separate, culture collections into one domain and has been developed by specialist public sector web services company, System Associates. System Associates has provided design, content management, digital asset management, data integration, search, hosting, training and 24-hour support for the site.

The project involved the integration of four separate databases, as well as the integration of a customer database for online ordering. More than 40,000 cell lines, bacteria, viruses or fungi can now be accessed via the site and are typically purchased by hospitals, universities and laboratories to further medical research.

Users of the site are able to browse by several different search criteria, including A-Z browsing, via reference number, name, type of culture, or culture associated with a specific part of the body, or ailment. A search will retrieve the most relevant information about a culture, as well as useful papers and resources associated with that culture.

David Macken, managing director of System Associates comments: “By far the most sophisticated aspect of this project has been to provide a meaningful retrieval on a complex subject-matter. There are 11 different search criteria, each of which relates to the indexing of more than 40,000 items.”

Helping to facilitate this retrieval is System Associates’ content management and digital asset management software, which makes it as easy as possible to add and cross-reference items to the collections. The content management system also has a versioning facility which allows content providers to edit documents, while old versions are still live, to ensure that each culture is available online, even when being updated.

Registered users of the system can order cultures directly from the website and at present, the order is then passed to operations for dispatch. Phase II of the site will see the CRM, logistics and financial systems also integrated, to provide a seamless experience from ordering to dispatch.

Abingdon, United Kingdom, 18 September 2008 – Toumaz Technology Limited, the leading provider of ultra-low power wireless infrastructure for body monitoring solutions, today announces that it will present its vision for the future of digital medicine solutions at Oracle OpenWorld 2008 – the world's largest professional IT conference (Moscone Center, San Francisco, September 21st – 25th 2008). Toumaz Technology CEO Keith Errey will be delivering a key insight into the future of end-to-end digital healthcare systems in a conference session on Monday 22nd September at 13:00pm (Session No S298848, Westin SF Market Street, Room Metropolitan III). Delegates and visitors will also have the opportunity to attend a presentation given by Toumaz at its booth within the Embedded Pavilion, where it will also be demonstrating its Sensium™ system for intelligent wireless body monitoring (Embedded Pavilion, Moscone West, Booth 3116).

Oracle OpenWorld is the largest gathering of Oracle customers, partners, developers, and technology enthusiasts. This year's event features a comprehensive Embedded Pavilion offering sessions, hands-on labs, demos, and exhibitions. The Embedded Pavilion will showcase Oracle's leading partners and featuring a mini-theater with ongoing presentations about Oracle's embedded products, plus presentations by partners embedding Oracle technology.

Toumaz’s presentation will explore how technology convergence is set to unleash a monumental change in medicine and healthcare delivery, enabling healthcare providers to meet the enormous challenges of rising elder populations and the management of chronic disease. Central to the realisation of this “digital medicine” vision and the implementation of end-to-end systems is Toumaz’s breakthrough Sensium sensor interface and transceiver platform, which enables the human body to be monitored continuously, wirelessly, intelligently and at low cost – with the robustness and medical compliance normally associated with considerably more expensive capital equipment. Using new embedded products from Oracle that run on hand-held or simple remote terminals, real-time physiological information acquired and processed by body-worn Sensium-enabled wireless monitors can be automatically synchronized with electronic health or patient records. This end-to-end system provides the foundation for a total patient care package, with the potential to revolutionise health and lifestyle management.


In December 2006, Toumaz was awarded first prize at the 5th Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Innovation Award for Europe, Middle East and Africa. The award from Oracle was made in recognition of the outstanding innovation of the Sensium platform. Toumaz Technology is a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
