Based in Los Angeles, the international features agency, Incredible Features has chosen MomaPIX as its web management and sales platform.

Rome, 8 march 2010 – In the early days of August 2009, Stacy Linh, Incredible Features’ Creative Director, found a message in her mailbox entitled “MomaPIX – the service tailored for photo and video agencies”.
Mistaking it for spam which escaped the control of the corporate firewall, Stacy was about to delete it when her curiosity was aroused by the title. She opened the message and began to investigate. From that day on, the relationship between Stacy and MomaSoft has been uninterrupted.

After the first email, asking for clarification, MomaSoft immediately sent an invitation to a web meeting for a presentation of the service.
Stacy said, “In September we spent a week in which we met on the internet every day, sometimes the meetings lasted for hours sometimes it took a few minutes. I realized that I was dealing with people technically valid and seriously involved in seeking appropriate solutions to my needs.“

Incredible Features offers a unique collection of still and moving images for editorial and commercial usage. Stacy was looking for a means to permit the agency to manage and sell both videos and photos. A month after the first email, in September 2009, Stacy decided that the time was ripe and so left Los Angeles and went to Rome for 4 days where they set up the final details and signed the contract.

Some days ago, we asked to Stacey to comment on her choice and on what has happened, six months after the contract signature:

“When deciding to update our agency website, we chose the Momapix system because of its built-in features and the ability to customize it to suit our specific needs. The Momapix team has been stellar and instrumental in supporting our growth”

Thanks to this agreement, MomaPIX continues to strengthen its role as the company to look to for all those agencies seeking a valuable new partner in enhancing the value of their photographic and video assets on the web.

About MomaSoft

The Hague, 25 February 2010, ID Control, the specialist in strong and easy authentication and encryption has integrated its’ solutions with Securepoint, the Unified Threat Management solution which protects the gate to your network resources or your remote office from a mixture of risks and threats. Sensitive information from your network or application can now be securely exchanged with Securepoint’s VPN access to the right persons, who are really who they proclaim to be.

A lot of organizations that offer remote working facilities to their clients, subsidiaries, branche offices, suppliers or employees enable private tunnels to internal network resources or applications through VPN. Securepoint manages the network related security threats and risks in a blended easy protective approach and provides the VPN from one centrally managed secure point at the gate. Together with ID Control users need to authenticate themselves when accessing the VPN, which was before with only a user name and password, which is a relatively weak authentication mechanism. ID Control empowers the authentication procedure by providing strong authentication tokens with dynamic passwords on your mobile phone or on a hardware token.  Next to One Time Password authentication the user’s legal binding digital signature on a USB token can be used to sign-on to the access of  Securepoint’s VPN.  ID Control’s solutions are affordable and very user-friendly and available for Securepoint’s VPN but also for web based email and other services such as web application, network and remote desktop access.

Hans Kortekaas, CEO of ID Control, says that unauthorized access is probably the most significant vulnerability to your organizations’ network environment. This can put the availability of your network, the confidentiality of business data inside your network, and your entire business activity at risk. And it also exposes your company and its management to potential compliance issues with regulations and data privacy laws. Controlling the identity and access of the users to VPN are ranked high in priority on the list of security measures nowadays. With ID Control and Securepoint in place, confidentiality, integrity, and proof of origin of any communication before entering the tunnel into your network can be ensured.

Securepoint, www.securepoint.de, founded in 1997, is the fastest growing Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution in Germany and develops and markets innovative IT-Security Technology for the total protection of an organization’s network. Securepoint UTM-security solutions (Unified Threat
Management) with Firewall, IDS, VPN, Virus protection, web content/spam filtering and high availability features meet all of the security demands and wishes of today’s IT security manager. Securepoint excels in the easy web based configuration and administration of the system for all security modules. Securepoint is available as Appliance, or Software which can be installed on any computer or server, or VMWare image. All Securepoint solutions are distributed over a network of 2.000 partners securing already more than 32.000 networks worldwide. Customers range from small businesses, lawyers and doctors, to large industries and ministries.

ID Control, www.idcontrol.com located in The Hague, provides strong and easy authentication tokens and unified authentication management. The range of strong authentication tokens for secure online access is composed of HandyID, MessageID, KeystrokeID, the ID Control OTP Key and USB Token.
HandyID is an OTP generating application running on your mobile device, the ID Control OTP Key is an OTP generating hardware token, the ID Control USB Token stores and generates digital signatures and OTPs and KeystrokeID recognizes users on the basis of their typing behaviour while logging in. At the same time ID Control offers e-mail encryption, decryption and authentication with MailID which uses MessageIDs One Time Passwords (OTP) via SMS for opening up e-mail with attachments.

Redditch, Worcestershire – The former CTO and co-founder of the business directory Scoot.com, Chris Chedgzoy, has launched his latest venture: Beanprint.com.

The startup web-based business, which went live earlier this month, integrates the internet with the latest digital printing press technology, allowing users themselves to design their promotional material online. This unique approach makes very low quantity print runs possible whilst achieving high-end production results at substantially reduced costs. The service includes complete fulfillment from order to delivery.

“During the last 6 months of 2009, we test ran the system, producing calendars for the glamour industry and for charities – and we proved that our customers were able to order their products as they sold them one-for-one, so they never needed to hold stock,” Chris explained. “We know that fund-raising efforts of many charities fail because so much money ends up being lost in unsold stock of calendars, for example, where large numbers have to be ordered to keep the unit price down or to just meet the printer’s minimum order requirements.”

Chris continues: “We then decided to go one step further and to make it even easier: we decided to offer complete fulfillment as well. So our customer never sees it – we ship out the order on our customer’s behalf.”

Beanprint’s efficient and complete end-to-end service at very low operational costs (that is even able to offer same-day turn around) has been made possible by the company’s own unique and bespoke web-to-print interface which it developed in house. It allows the whole process from order to dispatch to be seamless whilst keeping production staffing costs to a minimum.

The company has many exciting plans in the pipeline including an affiliate scheme and new products as well as an aggressive marketing campaign, all to be announced soon.

About Beanprint

Beanprint specialises in short-run high quality colour printing services offering Business Cards, Leaflets, Shop Signs, Standard Signs, Car Signs, Greeting Cards, Calendars, Model Cards, Post Cards and T-Shirts. From a one-off to a full production run, we utilise the very best of the latest digital printing press technology to enable us to offer the high quality products only traditionally found in large production. We can take the guesswork out of charity calendars by offering fulfillment of your production; we simply produce your calendars as your orders come in, including handling the shipping. No minimum order requirements, so you are not left with calendars you can’t sell after your promotion period.

24 November 2009

Software Shelf today announced availability of Print Manager Plus 2010 Release Station Option for schools, libraries, and companies who need to control user printing and printing security whether printing through a print server or in a work group.

This new version of the most simple and powerful software only (requires no hardware) Release Station on the market comes with Credit Card and PayPal integration. Users can pay for each individual job as they print or add credit to their own account balances using Credit Card or PayPal.

Software Shelf CEO, Mr. Bill Feeley states, “The Release Station has proved to be a very popular add-on for Print Manager Plus and we have been implementing this in many Schools, Libraries, and Companies around the globe over the past 2 years. There are many ways this can be used, and here are a few of the more popular implementations:

Secure Printing

“Using the Release Station, Print Manager Plus holds jobs the users send until they go to a Workstation or thin client panel at the printer/printers location and type in their User Account and password to see their job or jobs to release to the printer. Jobs not released after a specified amount of time are deleted. This handles printing sensitive material to a printer that is not located near the user. This also handles the stack of paper sitting at the printer at the end of the day that no one ever came to collect. Fully supports HIPAA, Data Protection Acts, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliancy.

Approved/Managed printing

“Users send a job and receive a pop up message asking them to see the teacher to release their job or the front desk (as in a library) to pay for their job. The person administering uses the console to see all the details of the job, including total cost of the job if collecting funds for it, and releases the jobs as needed.

Account Balance Management

“With the new Paid Balance feature within Print Manager Plus and Credit Card/PayPal integration, the software is set up to put the account balance management back on the users. They can pay for individual jobs themselves or add credit to their account balance if they run out using the Release Station Option.”

For those not yet using Print Manager Plus, a fully functional trial version good for 30 days can be downloaded from http://www.softwareshelf.com.
For new customers, install Print Manager Plus first, and then install the new Print Manager Plus Release Station 2010 to gain all the powerful features of security and ease of use of the Release Station.

The Release Station avoids the problem of users printing documents then never going to the actual printer to pick them up. Also, security comes in as the tool allows for confidential material in an organization to not actually be printed at the printer for everyone to see, until the user is actually right there to release it and pick it up.

It supports all printers on the market and is a native extension of the Windows operating system with seamless Active Directory integration. It supports all printer brands on the market and printing for every operating system printing through a Windows Print Server.

Supports HIPAA, Data Protection Acts, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliancy.
