Lexmark Invoice Capture Service (ICS) Brings Accounts Payable Automation to Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users
LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- News Facts
- Lexmark today announced the company's Invoice Capture Service (ICS) SaaS solution is now integrated with and available for the Microsoft's Dynamics NAV 2016 enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, enabling out-of-the-box accounts payable (AP) automation capabilities. Currently serving more than 110,000 users worldwide, NAV is Microsoft's cloud-based ERP offering for the SMB market.
- Lexmark ICS can be activated on a subscription or pay-per-use basis by users, and offers an initial "freemium" model for processing up to 75 invoices per month without charge, helping customers validate their invoice automation goals before committing to its use. NAV users wishing to access ICS can do so from within the NAV interface and at the online store.
- Lexmark ICS delivers invoice capture and processing capabilities on demand, with minimal setup requirements and the scalability needed for all invoice volumes. The solution captures and validates invoice data, replacing manual data entry, to speed invoice cycle times, reduce costs, improve financial visibility, and make content accessible and manageable any time, from any location.
- According to Gartner, nearly half of all businesses plan to adopt some form of cloud-based ERP within the next five years. Forbes reports that SMBs are significantly increasing their investments in cloud solutions, with invoice automation providing a key avenue for immediate process optimization. Offering this via the cloud makes automation-enabled efficiency, visibility and productivity available without the labor and capital commitments associated with on-premise implementations and ongoing maintenance.
- Microsoft Dynamics NAV users will gain immediate benefits from Lexmark ICS, including:
- Improved data accuracy, as it automatically "learns" to read invoices in numerous formats and eliminates error-prone manual data entry.
- Better supplier relationships, as faster processing eliminates late payments and facilitates early payment discounts.
- Enhanced financial controls, as increased visibility minimizes duplicate, erroneous and misplaced payments and allows for better cash management.
- Consistent user experience, as the solution works within the framework of a familiar ERP interface.
- Easy setup, as the service is installed and configured within 10 minutes—delivering immediate invoice processing efficiency.
- Microsoft and Lexmark will present the combined solution at Microsoft Directions North America, Oct. 25-28 in Orlando, Fla., and at Microsoft Convergence EMEA, Nov. 30-Dec. 2 in Barcelona, Spain.
- All NAV 2016 users will have immediate access to Lexmark ICS, supporting capture and validation in dozens of languages and currencies. To take full advantage of this solution, users should contact Lexmark, their Microsoft consultant or NAV business partner.

DBI Software Announces pureFeat(TM) V6.2 Performance Management Suite for IBM DB2 LUW
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 23, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As a DBA or manager, your company counts on you to fight the right fires fast. Today, that task just got much faster and easier with the release of DBI Software’s pureFeat™ V6.2 Performance Management Suite for IBM DB2 LUW. Already the acknowledged leader in optimizing IBM DB2 LUW databases, and acclaimed by Database Trends and Applications as one of the Top 100 Companies That Matter Most in Data, DBI’s pureFeat V6.2 pulls even farther ahead of the pack by adding many customer suggested enhancements plus a major breakthrough in automated index tuning!
Thanks to customer suggestions, pureFeat customers can now compare performance across two different databases, record comprehensive notes for a SQL statement in one mouse click, plus see relative percentage weights of each processing step within Explains with the highest cost steps highlighted. A new report identifies indexes that are harmful to performance and another report summarizes all flagged statements across a database.
The crowned jewel of this release is a DBI innovation called “Index Benefit Analysis”. DBI pureFeat takes the recommended index output from IBM program ‘db2advis’ and adds enormous value by detailing how much benefit is derived from each recommended index individually along with how much value is lost if an index isn’t created as part of the solution set. When ‘db2advis’ recommends multiple indexes, DBI’s Index Benefit Analysis is absolutely invaluable because DBAs can instantly tell which indexes are the most important! And, surprisingly, sometimes we see that some ‘db2advis’ recommended indexes can actually be harmful to workload performance!
As amazing as these new functions are, they represent just a few of several improvements in pureFeat V6.2. At pureFeat’s heart are patented, award-winning technologies that allow users to pinpoint root-cause problems in about 15 seconds, solve them in an hour or less, and save clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in CPU’s, memory, licenses, consulting fees, and wasted time.
Scott Hayes, President and Founder of DBI Software, said, “I’ve taught how to do Index Benefit Analysis by hand calculations at IDUG conferences. The calculations can take hours and are prone to error. You don’t have hours to fix a performance issue when managers are screaming and your application is failing. Remarkably, DBI pureFeat gets this sophisticated analysis done in seconds!” When asked about the other new features, Hayes responded, “DBI customers are part of our family. We work alongside them regularly and we treasure their suggestions. DBI pureFeat is a toolset developed by DBAs for DBAs and is loaded with many years of real-world experience.”
pureFeat™ V6.2 is a completely free upgrade for DBI Software’s annual clients, and stems from DBI’s single-minded passion for proactively helping customers. This is just one of the many reasons DBI Software has a 98% client retention rate. To learn more about pureFeat™ V6.2, join our next educational demonstration webinar on 3 December 2015 at 12pm ET/11am CT: http://www.dbisoftware.com/events.php
DBI pureFeat™ V6.2 supports IBM DB2 LUW versions V9.1 and higher. To use some of pureFeat’s features, DB2 V9.7 FP5 or higher is required. DBI pureFeat V6.2 supports IBM DB2 BLU V10.5 and is available for immediate download.

ScriptRock Unveils Free Vulnerability Scanning
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF., Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ScriptRock, the leading solution for IT systems integrity monitoring, announced today the release of a comprehensive vulnerability scanning engine which comes baked into their flagship offering. With this release, organizations can now assess their susceptibility to the kind of data breaches and cyber attacks which cost companies billions of dollars in losses every year. Pairing vulnerability notifications and open content libraries with ScriptRock's configuration scanning engine was a natural evolution of the platform, according to ScriptRock cofounders Alan Sharp-Paul and Mike Baukes.
"Vulnerability assessment as a concept isn't new, but historically it could cost a lot both in money and time spent, and the reports generated were nearly incomprehensible. At ScriptRock our focus has always been on making important, yet complex, information easy to visualize, understand, and take action on. We now do this for vulnerability data as well", said Sharp-Paul. His co-CEO counterpart Mike Baukes added, "For large businesses, deploying ScriptRock throughout their environment to spot vulnerabilities makes a lot of sense. No matter what your size or stage of growth you are in, we offer up to 10 nodes for free forever, so getting started really is a no brainer. To amend an old saying, there are now three certainties in life; death, taxes and vulnerabilities. If you're not taking action to address this new world it's really only a matter of time before you become the next headline."
The new vulnerability scan debuts alongside a substantial upgrade of the existing Policies feature — one which has already changed how many enterprises do IT. Once created, a policy can continuously validate any given set of criteria to ensure that any server — or fleet of servers — remain in compliance. Should a compliance test fail, the team receives an alert and is given the option to delegate a remediation task. This ensures that critical configurations do not drift, and that misconfiguration errors never result in lost time or money.
Among several feature augmentations, one of the most powerful is the ability to run policies retroactively. Any policy a user defines in the present day can be run against the prior system state of any device enabled with ScriptRock at a previous time. Teams can now not only see where a specific configuration item first diverged, they can also check whether its server or cluster were ever in compliance in the first place.
ScriptRock's vulnerability scanner and improved policy engine are part of the company's standard offering and available for use by businesses and the general public at https://www.scriptrock.com.
ScriptRock is the leading integrity monitoring platform for the cloud and the data center. With a collaborative web based interface, agentless deployment options, and powerful customization options, ScriptRock removes the configuration "fog of war" from any data center or environment. The company boasts over 2,000 customers, many in regulated industries such as financial services, energy, and healthcare.

At Money20/20 2015, Gemalto Shares Insights on Securing the Next Generation of Trusted Digital Payments
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, is bringing to light the security and fraud concerns banks and merchants should consider for secure digital payments from online to mobile and everything in between. Mitigating fraud and the losses it causes will continue to be an ongoing battle. It is about solving the different levels and types of fraud one at a time. For the U.S., the recent arrival of EMV chip technology is the first step and solves a major form of fraud - counterfeit cards at the point of sale. It is inevitable that fraudsters will refocus on the weakest link in the payment chain, and from previous EMV case studies, CNP transactions are the next target.
During the three day event (October 26th – 28th), Gemalto is demonstrating the newly launched Dynamic Code Verification (DCV) solution designed to protect against CNP fraud. Visit the Gemalto lounge to see first-hand how DCV is securing eCommerce payments and also the company's "top of wallet" card portfolio for banks interested in bringing a unique look and feel to their payment cards.
Hear from Gemalto's Jack Jania, SVP of Strategic Alliances, during his panel "Fraudsters in Cyberspace: Mitigating the Threat of Card-Not-Present Fraud" on October 28th at 12:40 in Marcello Ballroom, Venetian Level 4.
The panelists along with Gemalto's Jack Jania will discuss topics including the evolving patterns in fraud, how and what needs to be secured to minimize risk, and the mobile challenge.

Varonis Brings Frogmore Peace of Mind, Keeping Its Data Safe From Internal and External Threats
NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today detailed how its broad portfolio of solutions is helping Frogmore's UK workforce secure their sensitive data while simultaneously making it easier for employees and business partners to collaborate.
Frogmore, one of the U.K.'s premier real estate companies focused on commercial real estate investments, had several data security requirements to meet, such as ensuring that important documents are kept private and cannot be copied by employees leaving the company, keeping track of who has access to what documents, preventing them from being lost, and making the data files searchable. Additionally, Frogmore needed to ensure all data was moved safely during a major server overhaul and also give employees sending large email attachments to investors a secure alternative to Dropbox.
- Full Control with DatAdvantage: With numerous high-profile contacts, keeping client files secure when employees decide to leave the company was an important capability identified by Frogmore. With confidentiality integral to company operations, Frogmore deployed DatAdvantage, enabling them to monitor and baseline employees' access profiles and detect if any files had been copied or moved leading up to their departure.
According to Ben Lester, IT support engineer at Frogmore, "Varonis has definitely reduced the risk of data leaving the company. Now, when an employee announces he or she is leaving, we can monitor their file-downloading activity and also find out if they downloaded any files to a USB."
- Accessing and Moving Sensitive Files: An organization like Frogmore has terabytes of data, much of which is comprised of files that are considered sensitive. Finding these files, figuring out who has access to them, and moving them around isn't easy. By utilizing the Varonis Data Classification Framework, Frogmore now understands how sensitive data is being used, including who has access to it. With the Varonis Data Transport Engine, Frogmore is able to move critical data with peace of mind from domain to domain and track movements while ensuring no classified data is moved without management's permission.
- DatAnswers – A Secure and Easy Search Engine: DatAnswers delivers relevant search results to only Frogmore employees who should have access to them. DatAnswers uses metadata to understand relationships between Frogmore's people and data, profiles access activity and behavior, predicts where permissions are incorrect, and delivers a better experience through highly relevant search results, protection of sensitive content and efficient indexing.
- DatAnywhere – Collaboration Made Easy: As collaborating with third parties using large files is an integral part of Frogmore's day-to-day activities, the company required a secure, reliable solution that made these transfers easy and traceable. After considering other companies, Frogmore chose Varonis DatAnywhere as it was simple to use and preserved control over shared files. Lester added, "The quickness and ease of DatAnywhere has helped improve productivity because we're able to send files to clients much faster."

UBIC Obtains New US Patent Office Notification for its AI-based Document Classification System
TOKYO, Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UBIC, Inc. (Nasdaq:UBIC) (TSE:2158) ("UBIC" or "the Company"), a leading provider of international litigation support and big-data analysis services, announced today that the US Patent and Trademark Office has recently issued a Notification of Allowance to the Company for a patent application related to UBIC's data classification system backed by artificial intelligence ("AI"). The technology utilized by the multistage processor helps users categorize vast amounts of data related to litigation. The Company considers the patent highly significant as it "protects UBIC's artificial intelligence technology". UBIC has previously obtained a Japanese patent for this system (patent registration number: 5530476; registration date: April 25, 2014), so the US patent approval marks the expansion of UBIC's IP protection for this technology into a second country.
The new technological function covered by this patent is a manifestation of UBIC's innovative concept called "Behavior Informatics." The necessary procedures for patent registration have already been executed, and the patent is currently pending issuance.
Description of the US Patent:
The US Patent application number: 14/346,364
Priority date: March 30, 2012
The US application date: March 21, 2014This patent covers numerous techniques and methods. First, users choose a set of keywords with which to extract significant data from electronically stored information ("ESI"). Upon completion of the keyword search, UBIC's proprietary technology, Predictive Coding®, takes over to classify the remaining ESI as relevant or not relevant. Our Predictive Coding® software is capable of exposing relations and connections between data and actual events. It works by assigning scores to each document based on its analysis of the document's relevance compared to the keywords provided. Once the software analysis is complete, users can review the classification results and gain a short-cut to the most significant and relevant items of data.

As a technology company developing proprietary software with a unique brand, UBIC puts special emphasis on protecting its data analytics business and its intangible assets in an industry which is constantly expanding on a global level.

The Company considers this Notification of Allowance to be an important milestone in this continuous and on-going effort.
UBIC intends to continuously strive to fortify its intellectual property position and aims to become one of the dominant players in international litigation support and big-data analysis in its target markets.
