- The
U.S. Patent Office has awarded two new wireless networking patents to
Hacienda’s Trapeze Networks, further advancing the company’s
intellectual property assets in wireless network security and
role-based access control.
“These
recent inventions make wireless networks more secure and easier to
configure and deploy,” says Ahmet Tuncay, Trapeze Networks’ chief
technology officer. “Trapeze Networks’ position as an innovator is
strengthened in important ways with the award of these two patents.” - AlarmPoint
Systems, creators of an industry-leading alert management platform, has
unveiled a line of mobile infrastructure management products which will
allow BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, and Treo users to access real-time
data on IT system health and status and to access, create, approve and
modify important event information.
“Effective
mobile solutions start with an organization’s ability to manage alerts,
deliver actionable information and provide mobile application access
across each discipline within an IT organization,” says Troy McAlpin,
CEO. “One telecommunications customer delivered a 75 percent reduction
in call center staffing by automating field force access to critical
systems through mobile infrastructure management, a savings of over $3
million per year.”
The company’s new mobile software supports products from BMC Software, HP Software, and IBM. - Hacienda’s
Visioneer Corporation, an authorized Xerox trademark licensee, has
launched the Xerox DocuMate 742, a high quality production sheetfed
scanner that scans documents at 50 ppm (simplex) and 100 ipm (duplex)
and includes a 100-page capacity automatic document feeder. It has the
ability to scan a wide range of mixed document sizes (up to 11 by 17
inches) and supports long document scanning up to 38 inches, making it
an effective way to index documents such as medical forms or real
estate contracts. “The DocuMate 742 is well-equipped for use in a wide
range of business applications, even in high-speed, volume-oriented
environments,” says John Capurso, vice president of marketing for
Visioneer.
- FrontRange Solutions, a Hacienda-based
software and services company, has launched an online ‘SAM Analyzer’ to
help firms self-assess their current approach to software asset
management (SAM). The simple ten question test examines the
organization’s approach to critical software management factors such as
having a complete audit, centralized procurement and how applications
are deployed. The test is available at www.frontrange.com/analyzer.
“There
are…significant cost savings to be made from better SAM practices,”
says Matt Fisher, director of marketing at FrontRange. “For example,
our own research shows that most organizations have unused software
languishing on the network. Better visibility of these assets would
enable firms to harvest these and reallocate licenses, rather than
purchasing new software.”
