London – 8 March 2010 – Hitachi Consulting United Kingdom today announced that it has completed the redevelopment of easyJet’s new web site, working in close collaboration with easyJet’s internal technical team. The new web site, which accounts for 98 percent of the low-fares airline’s revenue bookings, was redeveloped using Microsoft’s .NET architecture and Web 2.0 technology to deliver a robust, extensible framework, increasing ease of use and visibility for customers, enabling greater integration with its retail partners, such as insurance providers, car hire and hotels, reducing third-party maintenance and support costs, and providing a platform for future service-based delivery.

easyJet pioneered the use of the Internet for travel and now serves more than 46 million passengers through 500 routes. The company has 182 aircraft in 29 countries and employs more than 6,500 people. As the main booking funnel for the company’s revenue, the easyJet web site is one of the top 10 web sites in the UK.

Hitachi Consulting UK and Microsoft worked collaboratively with easyJet’s technical team, moving the web site from a Classic ASP architecture to a services-based .NET architecture. Initial development work was completed in February 2009 with easyJet gradually moving customers over to the new site throughout the year. At the end of November 2009, 100 percent of all traffic has been channeled through the new web site.

“We are heavily driven by IT as a company and are continually trying to upgrade our systems,” said Colin Rees, Head of Software Delivery for easyJet. “I had worked with Hitachi Consulting previously and was impressed by how much intellectual property they have in our industry, particularly with regards to working practices and procedures. They also have a deep technical understanding of Microsoft technologies and worked with our team on a collaborative basis. This project is the first of many step changes in our online offerings, and the .NET architecture gives us greater scope to develop more functionality moving forward.”

David Kilpatrick, Managing Vice President at Hitachi Consulting UK, commented, “As a company with a business model based so heavily on technology, easyJet’s implementation is a great example of how Microsoft’s .NET architecture and Web 2.0 technology can transform business performance. We look forward to supporting easyJet in its future projects.”

“This significant technology implementation reaffirms the exceptionally strong relationship we have with both easyJet and Hitachi Consulting as one of our Solution System Integration partners,” says Alex Cresswell, Business Manager for Travel & Transport at Microsoft UK. “We are proud to form such a fundamental part of easyJet’s business plan and strategy and we are pleased to have been able to support them in offering an improved customer experience to the 50 million customers worldwide who will fly with the airline in the coming year.”

Sunnyvale, USA, 3rd March 2010. AgO Inc, a technology leader in analog and RF circuit optimization, launches AnXplorer – a new tool for optimizing analog and RF circuits. Starting with an unsized SPICE netlist, variables for device dimensions and a set of design objectives and constraints, AnXplorer optimizes device sizes by rigorously exploring the design space. By centering the design across all specified, process, temperature and voltage corners, AnXplorer achieves a robust design thereby enhancing the yield and improving the probability of first time silicon success.

The analog and mixed signal segment is growing much more rapidly than the rest of the semiconductor market. This trend is unlikely to change with the current massive growth in mobile data communications requiring both RF and mixed-signal design. By 2014, Cisco predicts that mobile data traffic will increase a staggering 39 fold from 2009 to 3.6 exabytes per month globally (source: Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update 2009-2014). Despite this, analog design automation has remained largely unchanged for many years. Circuits are usually entered by schematic capture and device sizes are manually tuned over many transistor-level simulation runs.

AnXplorer can fit into commonly used design toolsets as it works with industry standard SPICE netlists and simulators. A designer can create an unsized circuit, design variables and objectives. AnXplorer will then generate an optimized, centered circuit that meets or exceeds the design objectives across all corners specified by the user. It uses a new multi-algorithmic optimization strategy aided by an expert system.

A major challenge facing developers of analog and mixed signal ICs is the frequent failure of analog circuits to meet their requirements. Design respins not only significantly inflate the IC’s development costs but also adversely impact the final product’s market entry. Hillol Sarkar, CEO of AgO Inc said “AnXplorer helps analog designers converge on their design objectives rapidly”. He added, “Analog circuits are responsible for 50% of all IC design respins; by automating the analog circuit optimization, AnXplorer can significantly improve the likelihood of first time silicon success”. The tool’s optimization approach rigorously explores the design space searching for robust solutions over all process, temperature and supply voltage corners thereby improving yield.

Users can control the way optimization takes place by defining a hierarchy of design objectives. Unlike weighted-based handling of multiple objectives, the tool tries to meet high priority objectives before optimizing lower priority ones. AnXplorer’s design exploration database records all points during the optimization process. This enables designers to undertake “what-if” analysis or to trade off conflicting objectives if all objectives cannot realistically be met.

About AnXplorer
AnXplorer is a new generation circuit optimization tool for analog and RF design. It uses a novel optimization approach based on either simulation or equations. The tool works with industry standard SPICE netlists and supports industry standard simulators including Synopsys HSPICE, Cadence Spectre and Legend Design Technology MSIM. It runs on the Linux operating system.

LONDON — 2 March 2010 — Hitachi Consulting UK today announced that it has successfully completed the merging and optimisation of financial and commercial procurement ERP systems for Arqiva, the communications infrastructure and media services company, following its merger with the former National Grid Wireless (NGW). Hitachi Consulting used the Oracle SOA Suite and Application Integration Architecture (AIA) to standardise and optimise Arqiva’s back-office processes, minimise disruption to day-to-day operations, and provide the company with a simplified and integrated future platform for its applications estate.

Arqiva operates at the heart of the broadcast and mobile communications industry and is at the forefront of network solutions and services. The company provides much of the infrastructure behind television, radio and wireless communications in the UK and has a significant presence in Ireland, mainland Europe and the United States.

“We needed a complete migration of our back-office legacy-NGW systems into our existing Oracle eBusiness Suite,” said Steve Gregory, IT Director for Arqiva. “Hitachi Consulting helped us successfully migrate and consolidate the data, systems and processes, and took the lead on implementing an SOA middleware platform so that we could integrate our line-of-business systems with our ERP environment. We had limited expertise in-house and Hitachi Consulting provided us with senior, experienced consultants, with deep technical insight into the Oracle Middleware platform. We’d worked with them previously and were impressed with their flexibility and ability to meet tight delivery deadlines. Without this migration, we would have found it increasingly difficult to run our business effectively. We now have a future-proof platform for our ERP applications. As we continue to de-duplicate our non-ERP systems, we can use the SOA Middleware Platform to simplify our IT estate and componentise our approach to integration moving forward.”

In total, the migration of the legacy-NGW systems increased the size of Arqiva by approximately 50 percent and included the migration and integration of critical line-of-business systems, such as Keep, which now provides a master source of site data for all Arqiva’s estate, including the management of key assets that are distributed across some 9,000 sites. The ten-month project included integration of Oracle with some of the 130 active business applications covering a wide range of Arqiva’s functions. The core business systems are intensively accessed by approximately 400 users and occasionally accessed by approximately 1,500 users.

This just proves the ill attitudes of the general public. So quick to lay judgment. The Office is BRILLIANT. And when I'm done watching The Office always always always leaves me wanting more. Every single comedy I've ever seen has had more dramatic episodes (And now.. a very special Blossom) The Office makes the characters more real. And the comments above about how it was painful to watch and embarrassing. That is the appeal of Micheal's character. He gets into these positions where he does embarrass himself. Its just in his nature. Just be glad they are not trying to teach you a lesson in the show like so many comedies before them. Touching briefly on a serious issues only to forget about The Office the next episodes. THAT'S Painful..
I love the further development of the characters. And if they made the show be everything you wanted to right now for your quick fix.. The Office couldn't make anymore of this brilliantly wonderful show.
I cannot wait for next seasonof The Office!

February 26, 2010 – Webtrends, an enterprise customer intelligence company, today announced new Facebook measurement capabilities within Webtrends Analytics, which provides marketers the most comprehensive tracking and measurement for the activities that happen inside Facebook.

The Need to Measure
Facebook’s popularity is well documented; with 400 million users spending an average of almost an hour per day on the site, marketers are clamouring to invest in advertisements, Facebook pages, custom applications, contests and more. According to Compete.com, this month Facebook overtook Google as the most visited site on the Internet.

"Many businesses have launched Facebook campaigns, without necessarily having the ability to measure their investments and compare them apples to apples with other digital channels," said Nick Sharp, vice president and general manager, Webtrends EMEA and Australasia. "Now marketers have the opportunity to take a more comprehensive approach to measuring Facebook, beyond just applications, and can understand the broader picture of how their Facebook investment is performing."

Webtrends can now show you how your tabs, apps, and share features are working.

A few examples are:
• Twitter activity driving to Facebook Fan pages
• Facebook Fan page activity overlaid with corporate blog posts
• Conversion performance if they happen in Facebook
• Custom applications, Facebook page tabs, and Facebook ad click performance
Webtrends believes Facebook is one of the key social channels for brands to invest in and these capabilities will help them validate those investments.

Webtrends Analytics for Facebook
Webtrends' new Facebook measurement capabilities utilise Webtrends Analytics 9, which combines a powerful real-time analytics engine with its best-in-class user interface. For the first time, marketers can view their Facebook measurement alongside other digital marketing investments such as websites, microsites, blogs, mobile apps, and more. Additionally, using Analytics 9's RSS overlay capabilities, marketers can easily see the impact of promotional efforts. Tracking custom tabs, applications, and sharing provides the most complete measurement of Facebook available in the market.

How Webtrends Analytics Collects Data on Custom Tabs
Custom tabs and applications have critical differences for data collection, due to Facebook's Terms of Service and its commitment to user privacy.
• Brands can't use traditional analytics methods for tracking custom tabs because Facebook does not allow Javascript, and they aggressively cache images.
• To overcome these limitations, Webtrends developed a new method that uses their data collection API to bring Facebook data into Webtrends Analytics.

In addition to tracking tab views, Webtrends can also measure:
• Tab views segmented by fans and non-fans
• Clicks on buttons and links, such as the Share button and its options

How Webtrends Analytics Collects Data on Facebook Applications
• Applications allow more tracking options both because they allow Javascript and because the Facebook's Terms of Service allows for collection of user level data.
• Webtrends utilises their Data Collection API to bring Facebook data into Webtrends Analytics.
• Webtrends can measure any type of application built on the Facebook platform.

Webtrends Analytics 9 for Facebook Webinar
Webtrends will also host a Webinar in April discussing how companies can take advantage of Facebook measurement in Webtrends Analytics 9. For more information including registration, date and time, please visit us here.
If you are interested in seeing more about how you can measure Facebook in Webtrends Analytics, please visit our solutions page here www.webtrends.com/Products/SocialMeasurement.aspx.

February 24 2010 - If you disagree with the above, then there is an event on the 1st March which may be of interest to you. It will take place in the Oak Suite, University of Surrey 12.30pm - 4.30pm.

This event gives you the opportunity to have your say on what the future of Broadband services should be in the south east area, a highly topical subject at the moment in the light of the “Digital Britain” report. Whether provider or potential user of this new level of broadband service, we would very much welcome your views and feel that you could contribute greatly to the success of the event.

The event is hosted by the Digital Communications Knowledge Transfer Network (DCKTN) and the University of Surrey, Guildford.

As the speed of broadband has risen over the past ten years, services available have also kept pace, with email and web browsing giving way in bandwidth terms to music downloads, live TV, interactive gaming and peer-to-peer services. In turn, it’s these new services that have also placed higher demands on broadband access for higher download speeds and increased mobility. It is becoming clear that current mainstream access speeds, whatever the operator or technology, are unlikely to be able to provide the variety and quality of service that consumers will require in the future. A number of operators are beginning to invest in improved access technologies (fibre to the home and WiMax, for example) but there is not yet a clear business case either for a particular technology or for investment overall, nor is there a clear view of the services that users will require once the higher speeds are available.

With 73% of people now feeling that broadband is as important a utility as electricity or water the views of users about future services are important. This forum provides broadband users the opportunity to hear about the future for broadband access and services and to give input on their interests and needs. This event is one of several being held in regions of the UK and the output will be used to inform service providers, government and regulators about the services and packages that people will want as higher-speed access becomes generally available. Our presenters will set out their view of the future for broadband technology and services. Participants will then be invited to join the debate to help to formulate a view of the future landscape of services by joining one of three facilitated workshop groups. The information recorded from these groups will be combined with output from other regions and will be used to inform the industry debate on the technologies, architectures and industry structures needed to deliver future services.

Further details are available from the DCKTN website: www.dcktn.org.uk
