Heaventools Software announces the release of PE Explorer version 1.98 which allows for inspecting and editing the inner workings of Windows 32-bit executable files, and can make changes to any Windows application interface to reflect your personal tastes.

PE Explorer is a feature-rich and budget priced set of tools for those whose daily work involves reverse engineering of software and exploiting code, source code reviews, testing and evaluation of vulnerabilities. Because PE Explorer has itself been written using Borland Delphi, there's a very strong emphasis on peeking insideDelphi/C++Builder applications and packages. Once inside, target win32 file structure can be analyzed and optimized, problems diagnosed, changes made and resources repaired, assembly source code reconstructed.

PE Explorer Disassembler utilizes a qualitative algorithm designed to reconstruct the assembly language source code of target binary win32 PE files (EXE, DLL, OCX) with the highest degree of accuracy possible. The product also allows you to remove both debugging information and the base relocation table from an executable, as well as view and edit the various section headers (.text, .data, etc). Other features include automatic UPX unpacking, adding of Windows XP control styles to older applications, support for custom plug-ins and more.

PE Explorer 1.98 supports viewing and replacing large (256x256) Vista icons stored as PNG compressed images. It also includes the ability to to recover files after unpacking, even when a file header entry is no longer available.

PE Explorer is priced at $129 for the personal license, the single-user business license is $199. The 30-day trial version has unrestricted functionality.

AKVIS LLC announces the release of AKVIS Enhancer V.3.0 for Windows and Macintosh. The new algorithm introduced in v. 3.0 makes this detail-revealing software yet more efficient.

It may happen that a photographer will take a great photo but some details within it will be lost due to unevenness of exposure; faces may be cast in shadow, or scenery wiped out by overexposure. Merely manipulating the brightness and contrast of the whole frame with photo editing software can improve the problem in some portions of a photo, but might then spoil other areas that need different treatment. Here lies the strength of AKVIS Enhancer.

AKVIS Enhancer strengthens the difference between adjacent pixels having different color gradations and reveals details within shadowed, overexposed or mid-tone areas. Where other similar programs may achieve acceptable results by manipulating two to four shots of the same scene, AKVIS Enhancer applies advanced algorithms to a single shot for spectacular outcome.

Most images can be improved at default settings. For further adjustment you have four parameters at your disposal: Details in Shadows, Details in Highlights, Level of Detail and Lightness.
The new improved algorithm prevents noise that may appear on a photo after a dramatic increase in detail. Now the resulting image is sharper and more natural.

The new version of AKVIS Enhancer supports 16 bits per channel. It gives you the opportunity to process images without losses in quality.

In addition to its appeal to the amateur photographer and home user, AKVIS Enhancer is a highly useful tool in the production of technical and industrial photographs, or for revealing subtle details within medical imaging and forensic photos. Demonstrations of AKVIS Enhancer's features are available at http://akvis.com/en/enhancer-tutorial/index.php .
AKVIS Enhancer plugin is compatible with Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, Corel Painter, Corel Photo-Paint, Jasc Paint Shop Pro, ACD FotoCanvas, and Ulead PhotoImpact. AKVIS Enhancer runs on Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/NT and on Macintosh Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), PowerPC G3 and above.

AKVIS Enhancer sells for $69.00 US, downloadable from http://akvis.com .
For a free trial, AKVIS offers 10 days of fully functional use. One license key allows activating the software on two computers, for example, on a desktop and a laptop. Details are available at http://akvis.com/en/enhancer/download-photo-enhancement.php

Go Beyond the Limits of Standard Windows Functionality and Have Better Control of Your Windows with Actual Window Guard 2.7

Actual Tools announced today the release of version 2.7 of Actual Window Guard, a handy desktop enhancement application to better control windows at the system startup and application launch. With its innovative window controls, seamless integration into the system shell and ease of use, Actual Window Guard is an ideal solution for users who want to automatically "discipline" their "unruly" windows without endlessly customizing them manually.

Actual Window Guard v. 2.7 seamlessly expands the functionality of Windows and allows its users to get preset application windows minimized, maximized or closed automatically at the system startup or an application launch. Besides, the program saves the position and/or size of any window so that when the user launches an application, it "knows" its exact place on the desktop and window size. Working with several applications at a time, the user may set a particular priority status for each application. Once set, it will always remain the same unless the user wants to change it. Furthermore, the user may enable the "Stay on Top" option to put any selected application window on top of all the others. While the application has preliminary settings for most popular programs, the user can easily add and configure any other application by accessing the Configuration Module via its system tray icon. For a complete list of the program's options, please, visit the company's website a!
t http://www.ActualTools.com/windowguard/

Actual Tools is constantly expanding and deepening the functionality of its currently available products to improve their quality and working characteristics. The latest version of Actual Window Guard offers such new options as 1) Align window; 2) Set window position when it is created; 3) Set window size when it is created. Now the user may get any application window aligned with any of the 9 positions on the desktop - upper-left, upper-central, upper-right, etc. Also, while the previous version can only "remember" the position and size of a window as the user left it last time, version 2.7 also allows setting window coordinates and size manually.

Using Actual Window Guard 2.7 our client fully controls the behavior of windows at the system startup and an application launch, gets rid of annoying popup windows and has windows opened in the place and size he/she wants. Consequently, the average system becomes more convenient to use and less disorganized.

Actual Window Guard runs under Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/2003 and costs $19.95 (USD). Our customers are entitled to free updates and technical support. The fully functional 14-day evaluation version of the program can be securely downloaded at http://www.ActualTools.com/files/awgsetup.exe

Each of us has been faced with the problem of searching for information more than once. Irregardless of the data source we are using (Internet, file system on our hard drive, data base or a global information system of a big company) the problems can be multiple and include the physical volume of the data base searched, the information being unstructured, different file types and also the complexity of accurately wording the search query.

We have already reached the stage when the amount of data on one single PC is comparable to the amount of text data stored in a proper library. And as to the unstructured data flows, in future they are only going to increase, and at a very rapid tempo. If for an average user this might be just a minor misfortune, for a big company absence of control over information can mean significant problems.

So the necessity to create search systems and technologies simplifying and accelerating access to the necessary information, originate!
d long ago. Such systems are numerous and moreover not every one of them is based on a unique technology. And the task of choosing the right one depends directly on the specific tasks to be solved in the future. While the demand for the perfect data searching and processing tools is steadily growing let's consider the state of affairs with the supply side.

Not going deeply into the various peculiarities of the technology, all the searching programs and systems can be divided into three groups. These are: global Internet systems, turnkey business solutions (corporate data searching and processing technologies) and simple phrasal or file search on a local computer. Different directions presumably mean different solutions.

Local search
Everything is clear about search on a local PC. It's not remarkable for any particular functionality features accept for the choice of file type (media, text etc.) and the search destination. Just enter the name of the searched file (or part of text, for example in the Word format) and that's it. The speed and result depend fully on the text entered into the query line. There is zero intellectuality in this: simply looking through the available files to define their relevance. This is in its sense explicable: what's the use of creating a sophisticated system for such uncomplicated needs.

Global search technologies
Matters stand totally different with the search systems operating in the global network. One can't rely simply on looking through the available data. Huge volume (Yandex for instance can boast the indexing capacity of more than 11 terabyte of data) of the global chaos of unstructured information will make the simple search not only ineffective but also long and labor-consuming. That's why lately the focus has shifted towards optimizing and improving quality characteristics of search. But the scheme is still very simple (except for the secret innovations of every separate system) - the phrasal search through the indexed data base with proper consideration for morphology and synonyms. Undoubtedly, such an approach works but doesn't solve the problem completely. Reading dozens of various articles dedicated to improving search with the help of Google or Yandex, one can drive at the conclusion that without knowing the hidden opportunities of these systems finding a relevant docum!
ent by the query is a matter of more than a minute, and sometimes more than an hour. The problem is that such a realization of search is very dependent on the query word or phrase, entered by the user. The more indistinct the query the worse is the search. This has become an axiom, or dogma, whichever you prefer.

Of course, intelligently using the key functions of the search systems and properly defining the phrase by which the documents and sites are searched, it is possible to get acceptable results. But this would be the result of painstaking mental work and time wasted on looking through irrelevant information with a hope to at least find some clues on how to upgrade the search query. In general, the scheme is the following: enter the phrase, look through several results, making sure that the query was not the right one, enter a new phrase and the stages are repeated till the relevancy of results achieves the highest possible level. But even in that case the chances to find the right document are still few. No average user will voluntary go for the sophistication of "advanced search" (although it is equipped with a number of very useful functions such as the choice of language, file format etc.). The best would be to simply insert the word or phrase and get a ready answer, withou!
t particular concern for the means of getting it. Let the horse think - it has a big head. Maybe this is not exactly up to the point, but one of the Google search functions is called "I am feeling lucky!" characterizes very well the existent searching technologies. Nevertheless, the technology works, not ideally and not always justifying the hopes, but if you allow for the complexity of searching through the chaos of Internet data volume, it could be acceptable.

Corporate systems
The third on the list are the turnkey solutions based on the searching technologies. They are meant for serious companies and corporations, possessing really large data bases and staffed with all sorts of information systems and documents. In principle, the technologies themselves can also be used for home needs. For example, a programmer working remotely from the office will make good use of the search to access randomly located on his hard drive program source codes. But these are particulars. The main application of the technology is still solving the problem of quickly and accurately searching through large data volumes and working with various information sources. Such systems usually operate by a very simple scheme (although there are undoubtedly numerous unique methods of indexing and processing queries underneath the surface): phrasal search, with proper consideration for all the stem forms, synonyms etc. which once again leads us to the problem of human resource. When using such technology the user should first word the query phrases which are going to be the search criteria and presumably met in the necessary documents to be retrieved. But there is no guarantee that the user will be able to independently choose or remember the correct phrase and furthermore, that the search by this phrase will be satisfactory.

One more key moment is the speed of processing a query. Of course, when using the whole document instead of a couple of words, the accuracy of search increases manifold. But up to date, such an opportunity has not been used because of the high capacity drain of such a process. The point is that search by words or phrases will not provide us with a highly relevant similarity of results. And the search by phrase equal in its length the whole document consumes much time and computer resources. Here is an example: while processing the query by one word there is no considerable difference in speed: whether it's 0,1 or 0,001 second is not of crucial importance to the user. But when you take an average size document which contains about 2000 unique words, then the search with consideration for morphology (stem forms) and thesaurus (synonyms), as well as generating a relevant list of results in case of search by key words will take several dozens of minutes (which is unacceptable for a user).

The interim summary
As we can see, currently existing systems and search technologies, although properly functioning, don't solve the problem of search completely. Where speed is acceptable the relevancy leaves more to be desired. If the search is accurate and adequate, it consumes lots of time and resources. It is of course possible to solve the problem by a very obvious manner - by increasing the computer capacity. But equipping the office with dozens of ultra-fast computers which will continuously process phrasal queries consisting of thousands of unique words, struggling through gigabytes of incoming correspondence, technical literature, final reports and other information is more than irrational and disadvantageous. There is a better way.

The unique similar content search
At present many companies are intensively working on developing full text search. The calculation speeds allow creating technologies that enable queries in different exponents and wide array of supplementary conditions. The experience in creating phrasal search provides these companies with an expertise to further develop and perfect the search technology. In particular, one of the most popular searches is the Google, and namely one of its functions called the "similar pages". Using this function enables the user to view the pages of maximum similarity in their content to the sample one. Functioning in principle, this function does not yet allow getting relevant results - they are mostly vague and of low relevancy and furthermore, sometimes utilizing this function shows complete absence of similar pages as a result. Most probably, this is the result of the chaotic and unstructured nature of information in the Internet. But once the precedent has been created, the advent of the perfect search without a hitch is just a matter of time.

What concerns the corporate data processing and knowledge retrieval systems, here the matters stand much worse. The functioning (not existing on paper) technologies are very few. And no giant or the so called search technology guru has so far succeeded in creating a real similar content search. Maybe, the reason is that it's not desperately needed, maybe - too hard to implement. But there is a functioning one though.

SoftInform Search Technology, developed by SoftInform, is the technology of searching for documents similar in their content to the sample. It enables fast and accurate search for documents of similar content in any volume of data. The technology is based on the mathematical model of analyzing the document structure and selecting the words, word combinations and text arrays, which results in forming a list of documents of maximum similarity the sample text abstract with the relevancy percent defined. In contrast to the standard phrasal search by the similar content search there is no need to determine the key words beforehand - the search is conducted through the whole document. The technology works with several sources of information that can be stored both in text files of txt, doc, rtf, pdf, htm, html formats, and the information systems of the most popular data bases (Access, MS SQL, Oracle, as well as any SQL-supporting data bases). It also additionally supports the synonyms and important words functions that enable to carry out a more specific search.
The similar search technology enables to significantly cut time wasted on searching and reviewing the same or very similar documents, diminish the processing time at the stage of entering data into the archive by avoiding the duplicate documents and forming sets of data by a certain subject. Another advantage of the SoftInform technology is that it's not so sensitive to the computer capacity and allows processing data at a very high speed even on ordinary office computers.

This technology is not just a theoretic development. It has been tested and successfully implemented in a project of giving legal advice via phone, where the speed of information retrieval is of crucial importance. And it will undoubtedly be more than useful in any knowledge base, analytical service and support department of any large firm. Universality and effectiveness of the SoftInform Search Technology allows solving a wide spectrum of problems, arising while processing information. These include the fuzziness of information (at the document entering stage it is possible to immediately define whether such a document already belongs to the data base or not) and the similarity analysis of the documents which are already entered into the data base, and the search for semantically similar documents which saves time spent on selecting the appropriate key words and viewing the irrelevant documents.

Perspectives
Besides its primary assignment (fast and high quality search for information in huge volume such as texts, archives, data bases) an Internet direction could also be defined. For example, it is possible to work out an expert system to process incoming correspondence and news which will become an important tool for analysts from different companies. Mainly, this will be possible due to the unique similar content search technology, absent from any of the existent systems so far except for the SearchInform.

The problem of spamming search engines with the so called doorways (hidden pages with key words redirecting to the site's main pages and used to increase the page rating with the search engines) and the e-mail spam problem (a more intellectual analysis would ensure higher level of security) would also be solved with the help of this technology. But the most interesting perspective of the SoftInform Search technology is creating a new Internet search engine, the main competitive advantage of which would be ability to search not just by key words, but also for similar web pages, which will add to the flexibility of search making it more comfortable and efficient.

To draw a conclusion, it could be stated with confidence that the future belongs to the full text search technologies, both in the Internet and the corporate search systems. Unlimited development potential, adequacy of the results and processing speed of any size of query make this technology much more comfortable and in high demand. SoftInform Search technology might not be the pioneer, but it's a functioning, stable and unique one with no existent analogues (which can be proved by the active Eurasian patent). To my mind, even with the help of the "similar search" it will be difficult to find a similar technology.

Spam. How to fight it.
Internet is flooded today with undesirable advertising letters also known as spam. Both for an ordinary user connecting to Internet via dialup and for various companies paying for the dedicated line or using DSL spam equals wasted megabytes of information. The megabytes, which are paid for. And time, wasted on viewing advertising offers of unnecessary things or services.

Currently there are a lot of ways to guard your email box against unceasing attacks of “Viagra”, tourist reservations, commercial seminars and the best “windows and doors” in the world, which can be bought cheaply and simply. One of the cures could be changing the email account. But this is by no means a panacea: in a while the new box will be displaying nonsense newsletters from all over the world. You can of course use the server-inbuilt filters or paid resources which try to minimize the spam flow, letting through just the letters from “authorized addressers”. But the server filters block just a small part of proposals to “enlarge” or “relax”. And the powerful “authorization” protection is, first, expensive (plus a monthly fee), and second, is very inconvenient for people on the contact-list (they have to undergo a lengthy “authorization” procedure).

Ideal filter
To clean the mail account from spam a universal anti-advertising shield is needed which will save the money otherwise wasted on downloading weighty letters traffic and the time otherwise lost on viewing and deleting them. Such a shield is the programs which remotely check the mail in the user box without uploading them and block unwanted letters immediately at the server. Such programs are many. They differ in interface and functionality, but have one thing in common: obligatory check of email at the server. Without this feature there would be no sense in the blockers at all. To upload messages and check them locally is not a big deal. The applications differ in their settings, spam filtering ways, speed of work and different features enabling maximum efficiency. The most wide-spread way of blocking spam is by letter headings and continuously updated list of “illegitimate” addresses, which are known as harmful advertisements distributors.

Are you not tired of endless spam? Have you lost track of newly registered (“clean”) accounts? Dozens of letters daily burn you and your company megabytes of far from free traffic? All you need to do is to install Spam Blocker, in such a way ridding your computer from persistent and useless e-mail advertising. Please let me know if this news interesting for you.

TASC have released SQL Delta version 3.0, a database tool that quickly analyses, compares as well as synchronizes structures and data. SQL Delta offers comprehensive, high-speed integration of data and structure comparison and synchronisation for SQL servers.

“Working with customer feedback as the focus we have made significant
productivity improvements with the addition of a projects function and
connection manager. The introduction of an off-line mode allows users to
take a snap shot and export the database structure to a file and then reload
the structure for later compare without the need to access their database
server. Version 3.0 of SQL Delta also offers increased support for extended
database features such as full text catalogues and database diagram
copying.” – Jay Bailey, Product Manager

Version 3.0 of SQL Delta offers the following new features and improvements
and is available now (www.sqldelta.com);

PROJECTS
A project manager feature has been introduced to allow the saving of
connection and option settings. The project manager feature significantly
reduces the number of keystrokes or mouse clicks required to select and
compare databases. The tables that have been selected for data compare are
also saved as part of the project streamlining the data compare process.

CONNECTION MANAGER
SQL Delta is now capable of storing common connection details into a
connection manager to simplify and expedite the database selection process.
The connection manager allows the user to choose a server and database from
a list of friendly connection names. Even the passwords are saved with the
connection details, in an encrypted format. Of course it still remains
possible to “manually” connect to a database server.

SNAPSHOTS & OFFLINE COMPARISONS
The introduction of off-line mode enables users to take a snap shot and
export the database structure to a file and then re-load the structure for
later compare without the need to access their database server.

DATABASE DIAGRAM COPYING
SQL Delta now has the ability for users to move database diagrams between
databases and will detect any diagrammatic changes and enable
synchronization of the diagrams.

FULL TEXT CATALOGUES & SUPPORT FOR CASE SENSITIVE STRUCTURE COMPARISONS
The structure compare process has been improved to include support for full
text catalogues, case sensitive structures and better support for the ignore
index and constraint names options.

DATA COMPARE IMPROVEMENTS
There are notable changes and improvements to the data synchronization
process. SQL Delta will now produce a text data synchronization script,
which can either be saved or implemented immediately. Greater control over
the synchronization process is therefore provided as well as enabling an
improved export mechanism.

Albacore Research Ltd (ARL) announces the release of the latest version of its leading flagship AutoCAD-based 3D product modeling software for the design and fabrication of complete ships and offshore structures.

ShipConstructor2005 was developed under AutoCADŽ 2005 with backwards compatibility to AutoCADŽ 2004, providing many new functions that will improve productivity, not only while operating the software, but also downstream in production and through integration of ShipConstructor with other business processes. The newest version provides a substantial improvement in ShipConstructor’s existing features and now includes the first fairing tool to run inside AutoCAD.

New Hull Module
With the introduction of the Hull module in ShipConstructor2005, ARL brings much of the functionality of the proven but so far stand-alone ShipCAM solution into ShipConstructor, thus running inside AutoCAD. Users will be able to open ShipCAM files, import 3DM (Rhino) and IGES (most hull design programs) files.

The Hull module's functionality is greatly improved over ShipCAM, and provides trim-able surfaces, stringer layouts, pin-jigs and inverse bending. Plate expansion, including forming templates, accuracy control data and strain maps are also included.

More ShipCAM features will continue to be integrated into ShipConstructor, beginning with a fall 2004 interim release of the Hull module.

All ShipCAM users with current Maintenance & Support contracts will automatically receive the Hull module, and Hull purchasers will automatically receive ShipCAM at no additional cost.

Enhancements and New Features in Proven Modules
“Numerous enhancements to existing modules, plus the new Hull module, are indicative of our ability to listen to our users and deliver to them innovative, cost-effective and timely solutions for their shipbuilding needs,” says Rolf G. Oetter, founder and president of ARL.

Notable features of ShipConstructor2005 include:

Smart Bill of Materials – ShipConstructor2005 will see the introduction of the smart Bill of Materials (BOM), which will enable users to improve on their project delivery times and overall product quality. The BOMs are dynamically linked to the backend SQL server database to make updating production drawings much easier. The entire BOM is a smart object that the user can resize, while also changing colors, styles, and grid types to conform to individual company standards. Furthermore, a change in the BOM will automatically update any labels in place, retaining the often-significant efforts users have made. The smart BOMs will become part of the assembly drawings, pipe spool and HVAC spool drawings, as well as arrangement drawings.

Improved Database Integration – The Manager module now provides easier integration with the client’s databases. UserID, ModelNo and OrderID are new fields that allow easy linking of the ShipConstructor project database with the customer’s purchasing and material handling databases. Manager’s Custom Reports have also been enhanced with additional fields for better-tailored production reports, saving valuable time once needed for Production to request more information manually from Engineering. Also, users can add Spooled and/or No-Spool items to Custom Reports in order to monitor the engineering progress on the various pipe systems.

Pipe Module Enhancements – Pipe display performance has been vastly improved in response to the ever-growing project sizes undertaken by ShipConstructor users, yielding a great performance improvement in operations such as panning, zooming, orbiting, and regeneration. The level of detail displayed on screen can be adjusted by the user as required for the task at hand. Replacing pipe objects due to last minute specification changes has become much easier. The Find and Replace function allows the replacement of all pipe items. Still spec-driven, the function can easily swap out any number or type of objects while still retaining their original orientations.

New Pricing Options
With ShipConstructor2005, ARL now offers two new pricing options in addition to the proven Perpetual License Option and the Lease License Option: With the new Annual Renewable License the user can distribute his payments over several years. The new Month-To-Month Rent License is advantageous when the user needs to supplement existing licenses during peak demands or when consulting companies want to send their experts to their jobs with ShipConstructor in hand.

Future Plans
With ShipConstructor2005 just released, ARL already looks ahead to the release of ShipConstructor2006 in spring 2005 to accompany the likely release of AutoCADŽ 2006. Planned is a major extension of ShipConstructor’s central SQL database, allowing for splitting and merging of the database to simplify outsourcing of project sub-areas and sharing the database with subcontractors.

V3 Provides VoIP and Data Networking to Cable and ADSL Modem Users

(MARKET WIRE) Zoom Technologies, a leading provider of communications
products since 1977, today announced that it has begun volume shipments
of the ZoomV3, the second major product in the company's VoIP product
line. The V3 connects to the Ethernet port of a cable modem or ADSL
modem, and includes a router, advanced firewall, 4-port switching hub,
and TelePort(TM) VoIP port. Zoom's exclusive TelePort feature lets users
make conventional telephone calls or VoIP calls from the same phone.

The V3 allows people to make or receive phone calls by using their
broadband service, providing a "second phone line" while allowing
users the benefits of conventional phone service for 911 emergency
dialing, toll-free number dialing, or in the event of a power
failure. The V3's TelePort also allows conventional phone service to
be used for local calls or any other call the user chooses.

"While VoIP adoption continues to grow, many consumers will have a
difficult time parting with their traditional telephone service due
to its reliability and familiarity," said Terry Manning, Zoom's Vice
President of Marketing and Sales. "The Zoom V3 addresses this issue
head on by allowing consumers to choose the best of both
communications technologies as they see fit."

Other features of the Zoom V3 include:

-- Integrated Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Network
Address Translation (NAT)
-- Integration of the voice processing with the firewall in the router
ensures reliability of VoIP calls and reduces service provider support
requirements
-- Uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), a popular protocol designed
for VoIP calling and other communications over the Internet
-- An intuitive browser-based graphic user interface
-- Compatibility with any operating system that supports an Internet
browser and Java script, including Windows, Macintosh and Linux
-- A 4-port Ethernet switching hub and a USB port, allowing up to five
computers to plug directly into the V3
-- Flash memory that allows easy firmware updates
-- Multi-national, multi-lingual sales and support

Zoom Model 5577 is for service providers using the V3 with their own
VoIP phone service.

Zoom Model 5567 is bundled with Zoom's Global Village phone service.
Global Village service provides free VoIP calls over the Internet,
and also permits low cost calls to any phone on the conventional
telephone network with both "pay per call" and "unlimited in the US"
calling plans.

"Zoom's vision of VoIP is about freedom and flexibility for customers
all over the world," said Frank Manning, President and CEO of Zoom
Technologies. "Zoom's TelePort lets customers choose whether they
want to use VoIP or conventional phone service on a per call basis;
and Global Village lets customers choose the language, currency, and
billing plan that's right for them. Zoom's worldwide distribution
channels help Zoom to extend VoIP to the many international customers
who can benefit most from the cost savings of voice over the
Internet."

Revelation Helpdesk V3.2 Streamlines Technician Productivity & IT Resource Management

Westport, CT (PRWEB) YellowFish Software, a leading provider of helpdesk software for the IT incident management market, today released Revelation TM Helpdesk 3.2, the newest version of its Web-based, Revelation Help Desk software package.

Revelation Helpdesk 3.2 helps IT departments and technical support organizations improve their end user support programs with an intuitive approach to incident management that maximizes human resources, streamlines processes and improves customer service.

While the base configuration offers an effective helpdesk solution for small and mid-sized organizations supporting hundreds of end users, Revelation 3.2's modular structure is scaleable to organizations with thousands of end users.

The nimble, browser-based interface of Revelation 3.2 enables service professionals to receive and report on the disposition of more end-user incidents in real time. Statistics gathered by YellowFish Software show that technicians can log a service call in half the time it takes in other systems. In addition, Revelation 3.2 delivers a high return on investment with a low total cost of ownership for IT management. This is particularly appealing to corporate, government, legal, outsourced IT providers and educational customers in tough economic times.

According to YellowFish CEO, Nick Juliusburger, "This is a system designed by helpdesk professionals for helpdesk professionals. Revelation 3.2 evolved from a very simple customer request: Help desk management has long asked for a cost-effective incident tracking software. Revelation Helpdesk offers the right benefits -- precision tracking, ease-of-use and forward-looking management reporting -- to IT professionals who are 'time-crunched' and frustrated by ineffective products."

Juliusburger added that, "Our customers are our most important asset. Revelation Helpdesk 3.2 contains many of their most requested enhancements. It is this desire to listen to our users that helps Revelation evolve and continue to meet the needs of all constituents in the IT support process -- support staff, management and end users -- improving efficiencies and productivity for each. We believe this is the reason for our 90+ percent customer satisfaction."

According to Monica Rhoden, a support engineer with St. Joseph’s Hospital of Augusta, and a Revelation customer, "We used Support Magic for many years and find Revelation Helpdesk to be very user friendly and easy to navigate. We had no trouble switching to a web based application. Revelation has exceeded our initial expectations."

Notably, Revelation 3.2's new licensing model offers customers a base configuration with additional modules that tailor the software to clients' specific needs. There are eight modules that customers can choose to purchase.

Revelation 3.2 also features integrated activity, performance, trend, resource and administrative reports to help managers monitor help desk activity and plan for the future; an intuitive ticket management system that makes it easy to know the status of open tickets; prioritization capabilities to rationalize support labor commitments; SLA management features with support for working hours and holidays; escalation features including 'respond by,' 'resolve by' dates and alarms to insure they are met; Web-based architecture that requires little or no maintenance of the application by IT staff; customizable IT staff and end-user interfaces, including status of all problems logged; email submission of tickets, including attachments; an ergonomic interface with no screen clutter; compliance with Government rule Section 508 related to handicapped access; and work requests that are adjusted in real time for any time zone.

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Westport, Conn., YellowFish Software is a privately held company that offers comprehensive help desk management software solutions. As the creator of Revelation Helpdesk software, a 100 percent Web-based helpdesk solution YellowFish Software ensures a significant impact on the way customers provide IT support and incident management. Customers include Honeywell, Boeing, The U.S. Army, & The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Revelation Helpdesk excels at providing the critical information needed to make appropriate and effective management decisions in real time.

Undelete(R) 4.0 from Executive Software(R) adds a robust Recovery Bin to
file shares that lets users instantly recover files deleted from anywhere
across the network. This is much faster than trying to restore files from backup
tapes, plus any work done since the last backup is not lost.

At FSR Inc., all the data files for their primary application are
completely shared and have to be for their program to work properly.
Walter Gould, Network Administrator, of FSR Inc., realized that
anyone could, accidentally or otherwise, delete all of the data files
at any time and they would have to restore the data from tape which
would cause them to lose everything done since the back up. He
stated, "Undelete cures that worry. Three days after I installed
Undelete, I was preparing files for a company catalog on CD and I
accidentally deleted several folders over the network. Without
Undelete, I would have lost half a day figuring out what I lost and
replacing those files. I believe in Undelete and I think Undelete
should be on every server where data loss isn't an option."

George Goodrich, Undelete Product Manager states, "More and more
companies are protecting their user's data by putting Undelete on file
servers. Hundreds of users can be protected plus IT support staff can
restore accidentally deleted files in seconds without having to even
think about going to backup tapes."

Undelete 4.0 runs on Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP, Windows NT(R),
Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003. Undelete is available at
http://www.executive.com/undelete/ or through your favorite reseller.
Undelete lists for $39.95 for the Workstation, $29.95 for the Home
edition or $299.95 for a Server version.
