Integration with Pervasive halves the time and costs of integrating VSI’s service management and CRM solutions with installed ERP systems

Cincinnati, OH — October 19, 2011 — Vertical Solutions, Inc. (VSI) announces that its service management and CRM/contact center solutions now integrate directly with the Pervasive Software Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW) data integration platform, Pervasive Data Integrator™. This partnership will break down the barriers of integrating VSI’s solutions with installed ERP systems by halving the time and costs associated with “from scratch” integrations. Service and support executives now can have the functionality and flexibility of VSI’s solutions while providing business management with tight data integration to ERP at reduced cost and risk.

Many support and service executives would prefer to use robust CRM and field service solutions, but their companies require them to use the modules bundled with ERP systems to reduce integration risk. While VSI has significant expertise in integrating its CRM/contact center and service management solutions to every major ERP system, each installation required time-consuming manual processes. With the new partnership, rather than “mapping” each integration individually, VSI has mapped its applications’ touch points to the Pervasive platform, which can be used by companies to streamline integration with their ERP systems.

VSI’s VServiceManagement and VContactCenter are cloud-based solutions for CRM/contact center, customer support, field service, and mobile environments. While most cloud integrations offer batch-type overnight data updates or direct web services, Pervasive enables a true, real-time integration for companies that choose VSI’s cloud-based deployments as well as VSI’s on-premise solutions.

“With this partnership with Pervasive, there is no longer any reason for a company to be forced to use an inferior CRM or service management module just because it is bundled with their ERP,” says Ron Wegmann, Sr., CEO of VSI. “Our solutions were designed to optimize a company’s service business – with the Pervasive integration platform, we have now optimized the ERP integration process, both in the cloud and on-premise.”

“Pervasive specializes in agile data integration, freeing ISVs like Vertical Solutions to focus on creating the dynamic and flexible applications that companies need,” says Lance Speck, vice president and general manager, Pervasive Integration Products. “Our application and data integration platform will help VSI’s CRM and service management customers quickly integrate with Oracle, SAP, and other widely adopted ERP endpoints.”

81% of Senior IT Decision Makers Need Better IT Project and Technology Information

Austin, Texas — Austin-based start-up Wisegate, the social knowledge network, released research that reveals senior IT professionals are experiencing an information void that is leading to increased risk in critical decision making. Amid the growing volume of vendor sales hype and social networking noise, Wisegate’s study shows that access to the most trusted sources of information – peers who work in the same industry with similar experience – is declining. As a result, IT management is less likely to have the information they need to make the best data security and information technology decisions for their companies.

At a time when technologies and corporate IT environments are rapidly growing in complexity, resource-strapped IT professionals are called upon to make more high-impact decisions in less time. In this high-pressure atmosphere, many senior IT leaders report that they don't have sufficient time or adequate resources to gather all the facts they need to confidently and quickly make IT decisions.

In hundreds of hours of interviews with senior IT professionals Wisegate found that:

· 81% said they want more practical IT project and technology information

· 89% rated peers as their preferred source of most trusted IT information

· 81 % said trusted feedback from senior IT peers would help reduce risk in IT decisions

Wisegate’s research found that IT decision makers commonly expressed a higher level of trust in their peers because they are not influenced by vendors, they have practical knowledge through experience and are usually able to provide a superior level of detailed IT information that includes the full story – both good and bad – about their experiences. The research also found, however, that despite the preference for peer feedback, meaningful peer relationships are on the decline.

Wisegate is an invitation-only community where senior IT professionals meet in a private environment to exchange knowledge and solve problems with their peers. By enforcing strict membership guidelines, which exclude vendors from joining, Wisegate is able to provide members with unmatched access to senior-level IT professionals and quality content.
For example, Kristin Knight, senior privacy director for Phillips Electronics North America, says the big-picture advice she got from Wisegate peers on data loss prevention equipment helped her to shape a successful Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) program. Although she was asking about a specific technology, the advice she got from other members brought up some red flags in her overall approach and steered her in a different direction.

About Wisegate

Wisegate (wisegateit.com) is a new social knowledge network for senior professionals. By enforcing strict membership guidelines and barring vendor ads and sales hype, Wisegate is the first and only private professional online community to foster high-value collaboration, conversation and content-sharing by a network of one’s true peers. Wisegate’s first community is for senior Information Technology (IT) professionals, with others to roll out according to market demand. Wisegate Inc., a privately funded company with headquarters in Austin, Texas, was founded in 2010 by Sara Gates, a respected industry veteran of several start-ups and large enterprise IT companies.

Software Magazine ranks eGain as one of the world’s largest software companies for the ninth straight year

Mountain View, CA (October 13, 2011): eGain ( NASDAQ: EGAN), the leading provider of cloud and on-site customer interaction hub software, today announced its inclusion in Software Magazine’s Software 500 ranking of the world’s largest software and service providers, now in its 29th year.

“The 2011 Software 500 results show that revenue growth in the software and services industry was healthy, with total Software 500 revenue of $541.5 billion worldwide for 2010, representing approximately 10 percent growth from the previous year’s list,” said John P Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com.

“The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers, and IT staff research and create the short list of business partners,” Desmond said. “It is a quick reference of vendor viability. And the online version, to be posted soon at www.softwaremag.com, is searchable by category, making it what we call the online catalog to enterprise software.”

“As consumers go social and mobile, businesses are struggling to consistently manage interactions across the customer lifecycle,” said Ashu Roy, eGain Chairman and CEO. “Our Customer Interaction Hub platform enables businesses to deliver differentiated and consistent customer experiences across the web, social, and phone. We are pleased to be in the Software 500 list for the ninth straight year.”

The Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world’s largest software and services suppliers, targeting medium to large enterprises, their IT professionals, software developers, and business managers involved in software and services purchasing.

Some 27 percent of the 2011 Software 500 companies are privately held. More than 100 companies are on the list in 2011 for the first time, a reflection of the dynamic nature of the industry.

Go to www.softwaremag.com/register to subscribe to be among the first to see the 2011 Software 500. It is being released first in the digital publication, to be distributed in late September.

The ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2010. This includes revenue from software licenses, maintenance and support, training, and software-related services and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on their total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as hardware. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co. and posted at www.softwaremag.com, as well as from public documents.

Tweet This: @Asigra to Demonstrate Mobile Device #Backup and #Recovery During SNIA Hands-On Lab at #SNWUSA 2011 - http://bit.ly/ou3cBd

WHO: Asigra Inc., Yotta 280 and Data Storage Corporation

WHAT: Asigra will demonstrate the true power, simplicity, and performance of cloud backup, performing mobile device backup and granular data recovery performed by students at the SNIA Hands-On Lab during Storage Networking World Fall 2011.

WHEN: Monday, October 10th - Wednesday, October 13th 2011

WHERE: JW Marriott Grande Lakes, Orlando, FL

At this year’s SNIA Hands-on-Lab at SNW, IT professionals will perform cloud backup by remotely accessing production data on servers residing in Toronto, Canada using their laptops at SNW in Orlando. The production data will be backed up to the Yotta 280 storage cloud located in Jacksonville, FL. Lab participants will then delete information to simulate a loss event and perform user-selected granular recovery from the storage vault in Jacksonville back to the primary servers in Toronto to demonstrate high performance recovery across geographies. The demonstration will showcase the simplicity, flexibility and speed of Asigra’s business-class cloud backup and recovery solution.

The Asigra Hands-On Lab will provide attendees with one-on-one contact with cloud backup experts as end users are guided through a series of exercises organized around various data protection procedures. The Asigra Cloud Backup demonstration will give users a chance to “test drive” the latest capabilities in a supportive environment. The classes take place for two hours at regular intervals throughout the conference and are limited to 16-20 seats to give attendees a rich learning experience. Open to all end-user attendees at SNW, the lab provides hands-on experience with cloud backup to raise awareness of its advantages in business environments.

At the SNIA Cloud Pavilion, Data Storage Corporation will join with Asigra to present on the advantages of cloud-based Virtual Disaster Recovery Powered by Asigra. With Asigra cloud-based VDR, data recovery is performed without the need to reinstall software applications, patches or services packs to any computing platform. The solution’s ability to restore physical servers to any virtual environment (P2V) preserves the granularity of restoring individual files required for recovery. With this capability, Asigra provides a means to easily recreate a company’s physical environment within the realm of a virtual environment for maximum business continuity.

“National and global service providers have teamed with Asigra to deliver enterprise-class data protection that covers any size organization’s digital footprint, from the remote worker to the data center,” said Kent McIntosh, Senior Director of Product Marketing and Strategic Market Development for Asigra. “Asigra’s Hands-On Lab at SNW allows participants to experience the technology first hand and will showcase the security, efficiency and simplicity demanded by IT professionals.”
