SAN JOSE, Calif., April 28 /PRNewswire/ — Radically changing the game for sales-related analytics, Xactly Corporation, the leader in on-demand sales performance management, today announced Xactly Analytics, the market’s first on-demand application to deliver rich analytics capabilities on top of comprehensive and reliable post-sales data. Xactly Analytics is revolutionary in bringing together all the data necessary for ongoing visibility and meaningful analysis of an organization’s commissions spend, selling patterns, sales rep and team performance, product performance, and sales plan effectiveness to enhance business strategies and maximize sales performance.

“In the world of on-demand applications, analytics capabilities typically are not robust. Xactly Analytics delivers rich analytic capabilities on top of post-sales data, and provides a real differentiator for their offering,” said Henry Morris, senior vice president, Worldwide Software and Services Research, IDC. “By pairing Xactly Analytics with the company’s existing open APIs to effectively aggregate data, as well as its modeling capabilities allowing companies to simulate compensation scenarios, Xactly now offers a powerful end-to-end on-demand solution for Sales Performance Management.”
Post-sales data — including factual data on what was sold, by whom, through what channels, at what price and how each sale was compensated — is the most accurate source of information for measuring sales performance. But until now, this information has been fragmented across multiple, difficult-to-access backend systems, including systems for order entry, HR, pricing and products.
Xactly’s flagship Xactly Incent sales compensation management application, however, aggregates this information and more into a single, secure on-demand repository as part of the process of accurately calculating a customer’s incentive compensation. Xactly Analytics taps into this unique set of post-sales data to power pre-built analytics, metrics, ad-hoc reporting, and Web-based executive dashboards and scorecards targeted to the sales performance analysis needs of sales and finance management.
“Xactly Analytics is core to our vision for on-demand sales performance management. Numerous business processes are dependent on the reliable, post-sales data we bring together from managing a company’s incentive compensation — from strategic selling to price management to quota and territory management,” said Karen Steele, vice president of marketing, Xactly. “In what we view as nothing less than a paradigm shift for analytic offerings, Xactly combines a rich data set integrated transparently behind the scenes and used to calculate commissions, an analytical data model optimized for sales performance management, and robust analytical tools and pre-defined metrics delivered on-demand through a true, multi-tenant architecture. It leverages data you can trust, thereby delivering insights you can trust — and it’s all in the hands of the business user, requiring no intervention from IT.”
Added Steele, “The delivery of Xactly Analytics represents a significant step along our aggressive roadmap for delivering comprehensive on-demand functionality for total sales performance management.”
Xactly Analytics is a fully on-demand, Web-based application delivering a complete range of data exploration and analysis capabilities that would ordinarily require significant time and IT resources to develop. Xactly Analytics provides unified, authoritative views of key sales performance management metrics, including sales incentive analysis, product performance analysis, and sales performance analysis by sales team, product or region. It includes automated data-workflow processes that transform and aggregate business data brought together by Xactly Incent to provide executives, sales managers and finance managers with better visibility into incentive spend that has not previously been possible with traditional Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) products.
As a pure on-demand SaaS application, Xactly Analytics requires no costly set-up or lengthy deployment time. As soon as a subscription is acquired, customers’ data residing within Xactly Incent is aggregated and made available through pre-built dashboards and reports. In forthcoming releases later this year, Xactly Analytics will also leverage data from external sources, such as sales pipeline and expense management systems, to enable an even wider range of analysis, building upon incentive spend analytics with metrics on cost of sales, margin and profitability.
“Xactly Analytics can help free our sales and finance management from having to laboriously chase down sales performance metrics currently buried in spreadsheets or locked up in IT-controlled systems — and that is truly game-changing,” said Erik Fike, field sales operations, NetQoS. “We believe having the ability at our fingertips to gain insights into our sales performance — on-demand, around the clock, and based on factual post-sales data — will be an incalculable advantage over having to only rely on pre-sales data to drive sales performance.”
Availability
Currently in Beta release, Xactly Analytics is scheduled for general availability in early June 2008.

PASADENA, Calif., May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — General <a href=’http://finance Corporation (the “Company”) , and Royal Wolf Trading Australia Pty Ltd (”Royal Wolf” or “RWA”), an 86.2%-owned subsidiary that is the largest marketer and lessor of storage containers in Australia, yesterday announced the acquisition of RWNZ Acquisition Co. Limited (”RWAC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary RoyalWolf Trading New Zealand (”RWNZ”), believed to be the largest marketer and lessor of storage containers in New Zealand, for approximately USD $18.6 million. The acquisition is expected to be accretive this fiscal year.
Through this acquisition Royal Wolf acquired more than 5,800 storage containers, of which approximately 5,000 storage containers are in the leasing fleet at approximate 86% utilization rates, that are primarily delivered through five branches or customer service centers.
RWNZ has an unaudited adjusted trailing twelve month EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization) as of the closing of approximately USD $3.4 million. RWNZ’s employees joined Royal Wolf, which will also assume several depot and agency contracts. The transaction will be primarily financed by bank financing under the existing Australian and New Zealand Banking Group Limited credit facilities to Royal Wolf.
Bob Allan, Royal Wolf’s CEO, noted that the acquisition of RWNZ was a natural fit as both RWNZ and Royal Wolf were formerly subsidiaries of Triton Corporation and share similar branding and systems. Further, the RWNZ storage container business will also provide greater balance towards leasing revenues as it has historically derived approximately 60% of its revenues from leasing.
About General finance Corporation
The Company’s 86.2%-owned indirect subsidiary Royal Wolf, a privately held Australian company acquired in September 2007, is engaged in the sale and leasing of portable storage containers, portable container buildings and freight containers to a broad cross section of industrial, commercial, educational and government customers throughout Australia.

CANNES, France, May 29 /PRNewswire/ — Global ABS 2008 — Lewtan Technologies, Inc., provider of ABSNet, the industry’s leading source for asset-backed securities surveillance data, analytics, software, and content for the global securitisation industry, today announced the availability of the Global ABS Portal, which provides free access to the most recent remittance reports and original prospectuses for public European securitisations.
“Having a free centralized point of access to public deal information will enable investors and regulators to easily access crucial information about public European securitisations,” said Ira Keller, CEO of Lewtan. “Prior to Lewtan’s Global ABS Portal, the only option available to find this information in one location was through commercial vendors.”
Lewtan has extensive experience delivering effective, reliable financial- data portals, including its flagship ABSNet portal, a deal performance database that tracks, among other data, more than 17,000 European asset-backed securities. The Global ABS Portal leverages ABSNet’s sourcing infrastructure to offer original prospectuses and remittance reports. The data accessed through the portal will be updated as new reports are published.
Portal Helps Industry Cope with Evolving Market Conditions, Regulatory Changes
Lewtan chose to launch the Global ABS Portal at Global ABS 2008 in support of the tremendous time and effort that the European Securitisation Forum (ESF) has spent in promoting transparency in the European market. Also, the most important players in the global securitisation industry attend Global ABS, making it the ideal platform for introducing a new service to the industry.
“Lewtan recognizes the changing market environment and evolving business model,” said Ira Keller. “For many years, we have fielded products and services that support transparency, and this free portal extends our commitment to serving the industry as a partner that can be counted on to provide access to the information and tools investors and issuers need to conduct business in an ever-changing regulatory environment.
“The subprime contagion that began in the US has caused the global structured finance community to reassess issues of surveillance and transparency,” said Keller. “The European market is struggling with ever- increasing regulatory scrutiny. MiFID, MAD, and similar types of regulatory scrutiny will result in an increased need for transparency and the creation of ‘best practices’ throughout the industry. In the US market, the SEC’s EDGAR database and the increased disclosures provided under Reg AB provide data availability for public deals. We believe that the Global ABS Portal provides similar data availability to participants in the European market.”
About Lewtan
Through offices in North America and Europe, Lewtan Technologies, Inc., offers a wide range of content- and technology-based solutions to members of the global asset-securitisation industry, including issuers, investors, underwriters, servicers, credit enhancers, and rating agencies representing more than 400 institutions worldwide. The company has twice been named Global Technology Provider of the Year by International Securitisation Report, and it received the Innovation Award and commendations for client service and best-in-class surveillance tool in Money Market’s 2007 Securitisation Review & Survey Technology Awards.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — People who favor flip-flops as their primary footwear option during warm summer months may experience lower leg pain and a change in their stride, according to research presented today at the 55th Annual Meeting of the American College of sports Medicine (ACSM) in Indianapolis.
“Flip-flops are very common, and this study began with the observation that most people appear to be wearing them beyond their structural limit,” said Justin F. Shroyer, lead author on the study. “It’s also apparent that individuals alter their gait while wearing flip-flops. Based on this, we expected to find that flip-flops may be a cause of pain in the leg or foot, and if so, would be counterproductive to alleviating that pain.”
The study compared flip-flops to sneakers to assess the angles at which they impact the floor and the force at contact with the ground during walking. Researchers analyzed the gait of flip-flop wearers compared to their gait while wearing sneakers.
By compiling the forces that the foot is exerting on the ground, they found a statistically significant decrease in the vertical (straight-down) force in flip-flop wearers. This decreased force may explain anecdotal evidence that persons who wear flip-flops alter their normal gait and therefore may shed light as to why some experience lower leg pain.
“Flip-flops are not designed for prolonged use or for walking long distances,” said Shroyer. “They lack the support that a walking or running shoe provides. Flip-flops should only be worn casually and for shorter periods of time. They probably should also not be a primary footwear choice.”
Shroyer also noted:

— Some flip-flops on the market may provide more support, but are
usually more expensive. For someone with lower-leg or foot problems,
Shroyer recommends they limit their usage, and choose a flip-flop with
more support.

— Flip-flops should be replaced often. However, many people claim
flip-flops are the most comfortable when they are “broken in,” just
like a pair of sneakers. Flip-flops should be replaced every few
months just as a runner would with running shoes.

Analysis of High-Heels

A new study supports the notion that women should use caution when descending stairs in heels, this time from a biomechanical perspective. An analysis of the motion at the ankle joint shows that walking in high heels down stairs may cause an unstable gait pattern that could lead to an injury of the leg or foot.
The study examined barefoot to low (one inch) and high (two-and-a-half inch) heels with several views of the foot and the heel to determine what patterns of motion predict how the lower leg and foot activate at these different heel heights.
While the heel strike force was the softest in the high heels, the force on the toe was highest in this shoe. Greater toe-off force is required to propel the body forward, and potentially contributes to the instability that may result in injury, particularly after long-term wear.
Researchers also found that when barefoot, participants had the highest heel strike. They also noted that when walking barefoot, participants landed with greater force at the heel strike, which may indicate a more confident approach to the last step.
“Walking barefoot has its advantages, such as giving the intrinsic muscles of the foot more work and therefore making them stronger,” said Wendy Miletello, Ph.D., who was involved in the study. “Stronger feet mean more stability for the entire body.”
“High heels are very common, at work or in our culture of fashion, and of course going up and down stairs is something we commonly do, even unconsciously at times,” said Lalitha Balasubramanian, lead author of the study. “This initial look at what happens when you wear heels on the stairs will help us determine what may predispose an individual to foot injuries, a common effect of wearing high heels for a long period. Future studies may look even more closely at injuries and fatigue related to wearing heels.”

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev., May 28 /PRNewswire/ — While Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to duke it out for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Upper Deck Company is predicting a winner with the release of its “Presidential Predictor” parody cards. Today, the sports card leader unveiled the new baseball card, which depicts Hillary Clinton holding up Barack Obama in a victorious celebration. The setting for Upper Deck’s latest political parody was inspired by Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek hoisting up an elated Jonathan Papelbon following the final out of the 2007 Boston Red Sox World Series victory.
(Photo: )
“This has been a challenging initiative because the race for the Democratic nomination has been so, so close over the last few months,” said Kerri Stockholm, Upper Deck’s director of sports Marketing. “It was difficult to predict the winner just a few weeks ago, and even more difficult when we started. Ultimately, we wanted to depict both candidates emerging from a hard- fought race in a hopeful and positive manner.”
The insert card in question is just part of a second round of “Presidential Predictor” parody cards that Upper Deck originally launched in February. This second set of cards is randomly inserted in the company’s 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Series Two release. The cards, which hit store shelves in early June, will be inserted (on average) one in every six packs.
“The Presidential Predictor cards are both topical and objective,” said Stockholm. “With the momentum of the race changing almost every day, we wanted to wait as long as we could to represent the more likely scenario.”
Earlier this year, Upper Deck married the two hotbeds of debate — baseball and politics — by producing a very unique “Presidential Predictor” eight-card set. The illustrated parodies showed several of the top candidates in rare form by tying each of them to a pivotal moment or personality from baseball’s glorious history. Notable names in the first round of “Presidential Predictor” cards included Obama, John Edwards, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson.
Collectors who pull any of the Presidential Predictor cards from packs will have the opportunity to win a trip for two to throw out the “presidential” first pitch at an official Major League Baseball game during the 2009 season. They simply need to type in the static code(s) found on the backs of the cards at to gain entry into an Upper Deck Baseball sweepstakes. The top prize will be open to all collectors who register the trading card of the eventual Presidential winner.

MCLEAN, Va., May 28 /PRNewswire/ — Jobfox is rapidly winning market acceptance — from both employers and job candidates — with many advancements that make the career site a favorite over traditional job boards and social networking sites, according to a new special report from Vital Analysis, Jobfox: A Fox in the Career Board Hen House.
(Logo: )
“Jobfox’s solution is elegant and contains high-value functionality for both employers and prospects, especially for already-employed professionals,” said Brian Sommer, the author of the report and CEO of TechVentive Inc. and Vital Analysis, a technology research organization. “The market acceptance of Jobfox has been material.”
A free download of the Vital Analysis report, Jobfox: A Fox in the Career Board Hen House, is available via Jobfox at . The report takes an in-depth look at effective recruiting services for hiring already-employed professionals, the advantages of using Jobfox () over other Internet-based solutions and conclusions about the future of online recruiting.
“With advanced candidate-focused features, Jobfox enables recruiters — for the first time — to efficiently and cost-effectively tap into the huge candidate pool of more than 30 million already-employed Americans who are open to job changes,” said Rob McGovern, the CEO of Jobfox. “This population of highly skilled candidates is highly skilled and 10 times larger than the 3 million people who are actively searching for new jobs at any given time.”
Such prized professionals — part of the group called “passive” seekers within the recruiting industry — have been missing from traditional job boards such as CareerBuilder and Monster, according to the Vital Analysis report.
“In fact, gainfully employed individuals are currently punished, discouraged or professionally embarrassed when their old resumes surface on a job board during a routine recruiting search by their current employer,” according to Sommer in his report. “The greatest limiting factor for traditional recruiting solutions in attracting passive job candidates is that their solutions were never designed to do so.”
Social networking sites, such as LinkedIn and Facebook, have recently offered employers the ability to tap into their databases of users in an effort to find experienced workers, according to the report. But such “retrofitted” solutions have created a backlash of user distrust.
“When people sign up with specific social networks, they are surprised when their current employer ‘discovers’ their online presence and personae,” Sommer said. “Social network participants use these networks to stay close to peers and colleagues, and are often offended when they find their personal data is being sold or shopped to headhunters, recruiters and others without tacit approval.”
In contrast, Jobfox candidates provide approvals for when they can be contacted by recruiters, by which employers and how they’d like to be contacted. The site includes additional confidentiality controls to protect the identity of employed professionals. Other Jobfox advantages include:
— Precision Skills Matching. Based on their Jobfox profiles, candidates
receive continuous feedback on highly matched employer requirements via
an online tracking center, e-mail, instant messaging and mobile text.
Candidates do not have to re-create search strings to search through
hundreds of job postings.
— Personal Branding. A free Jobfox page is available to candidates,
giving each professional a unique “URL”
(, for example) to dynamically
showcase skills, talents, career aspirations and job-change
receptiveness.
— Top Results. Job listings and candidate profiles do not age or atrophy
as they do on job boards, where the most recent listings and records
always go on top. On Jobfox, the most relevant jobs and candidates are
always presented first.

Founded in 2004, Jobfox is the fastest-growing career site on the Internet, attracting more than a million unique monthly visits from prospective job candidates. Jobfox employer customers — 1,500 and growing — find Jobfox to be a more efficient more cost-effective source of highly skilled candidates.
Jobfox was recently named a winner of the Red Herring 100 North America award given each year to the top private companies that are driving the next wave of innovation. Earlier this year, Jobfox was recognized as an Official Honoree for the 12th Annual Webby Awards and was named a 2008 most promising startup by American Venture Magazine.

BEIJING, May 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — AirMedia Group Inc. , the operator of the largest digital media network in China dedicated to air travel advertising, today announced that it had started operating digital frames in Shenzhen Baoan International Airport, or Shenzhen Airport, in the middle of May 2008, and will start operating digital frames in Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, or Guangzhou Airport, at the end of May 2008, which will increase the number of AirMedia’s digital frame network airports to 16. In addition, in mid-May, AirMedia also adjusted the length of its digital frame’s time slot to 12 seconds per time slot from the previous 15 seconds per time slot.
On May 30, AirMedia will start operating 115 TV-attached digital frames in Guangzhou Airport, the second largest airport in mainland China. On May 16, AirMedia started operating 47 TV-attached digital frames and 50 stand-alone digital frames in Shenzhen Airport, the fifth largest airport in mainland China. According to the concession rights contract with Shenzhen Airport, AirMedia could add additional 62 TV-attached digital frames in Shenzhen Airport in the future.
AirMedia’s TV-attached digital frames, ranging from 46 to 50 inches, run in 20-minute cycles in Beijing Capital International Airport and 10-minute cycles in other airports. AirMedia’s large-size stand-alone digital frames, ranging from 63 to 70 inches, run in 10-minute cycles in all airports. AirMedia adjusted the length of its digital frame’s time slot to 12 seconds per time slot from previous 15 seconds per time slot in mid-May. This adjustment was applied to both AirMedia’s TV-attached digital frames and stand-alone digital frames.
”The addition of the Guangzhou and Shenzhen airports to our digital frame network further solidifies our leading market position as a digital frame operator in the air travel advertising sector. We now have digital frame operations in airports serving three of the four largest cites in China,” commented Herman Man Guo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AirMedia. ”We believe the adjustment of the time slot length of our digital frames increases the capacity of our digital frame network and attracts more viewers’ attention, and we expect digital frames in other airports to receive high acceptance by clients as well.”
