OppenheimerFunds, Inc.'s Implementation of Envision Financial Systems' 22c-2 Solution Selected as Finalist for 2009 Mutual Fund Industry Award

OppenheimerFunds, Inc.'s Implementation of Envision Financial Systems' 22c-2 Solution Selected as Finalist for 2009 Mutual Fund Industry Award

Nominated for Best Post-Trade Implementation

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2009 -- Envision Financial Systems Inc., a leading provider of solutions for the mutual fund and financial services industry, today announced the implementation of its 22c-2 solution by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. has been nominated as a finalist for the 2009 Mutual Fund Industry Award in the category of Best Post-Trade Implementation.

OppenheimerFunds, Inc. decided to implement Envision's Clarity Compliance instead of developing an internal 22c-2 monitoring system. Central to their decision was a desire to implement an automated solution to standardize their review processes. They also needed the ability to receive data in a variety of formats from multiple sources. The system also needed to immediately receive, store and analyze the necessary information. Implementation of Clarity Compliance took only two months from testing to production.

"The Mutual Fund Industry Awards recognizes the top contributors in the mutual fund industry. We're pleased our 22c-2 solution meets the needs of OppenheimerFunds and that we are able to support the OppenheimerFunds consideration for this prestigious award," says Satnam Gambhir, Chief Executive Officer of Envision.

Kevin Smith, Vice President of the transfer agent for OppenheimerFunds, added, "We're honored to be considered for this Mutual Fund Industry Award and we continue to be very excited about our relationship with Envision Financial Systems. Envision's Clarity Compliance system and the variety of other innovative solutions they bring to the table have been a tremendous help for our business needs."

Rule 22c-2 came into effect in October of 2007 and requires firms to monitor omnibus accounts for market timing activities.

The nomination continues a tradition of industry recognition for Envision, whose PowerAgent shareholder accounting system won SourceMedia's Fund Operations Award 2004 and 2005 for innovation. Envision has made the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Program for Orange County every year since 2004, and made the Software 500 in 2005 and 2006.

Winners of the 16th Annual Mutual Fund Industry Award will be announced March 19th at Cipriani Wall Street in New York. Nominees for the Mutual Fund Industry Award are selected by the editors of Operations Management, Fund Action and Fund Directions, leading publications covering the U.S. mutual fund industry.

Stonefield Releases New Version of ACT! Database Reporting Add-on

Stonefield Query Version 3.2 for ACT! By Sage is now available and compatible with the newest version - ACT! 2009. As a reporting add-on for ACT! 2009, Stonefield Query Version 3.2 is a report writer that enables easy creation of custom ACT! reports by non-technical users.

Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) February 16, 2009 -- Stonefield Software, Inc. (www.stonefieldquery.com) announced the release of Stonefield Query Version 3.2 for ACT! by Sage. The new version of this popular ACT! report writer add-on provides tools to easily create custom ACT! reports, pivot tables, and charts. Stonefield Query Version 3.2 is also compatible with ACT! 2009 and is available through a worldwide network of ACT! Certified Consultants or directly from Stonefield Software, Inc.

"We've added over 100 new features with version 3.2," says Jason Okrepkie, Channel Account Manager of Stonefield Software. "The most requested feature was the ability to report on the custom tables inside of ACT!. Stonefield Query can now do that right out of the box." Some of the other highlights include integration with ACT! Add-on products like Swiftpage Email Marketing and QuoteWerks quoting software.

Stonefield Query for ACT! by Sage Version 3.2 (www.stonefieldquery.com/Solutions/ACT.aspx) adds over 100 new features including cross-tabulation, charts, labels, Google Maps, negative queries, support for Vista, and e-mail reports.

This add-on reporting tool requires virtually no technical knowledge which means custom reports in ACT! by Sage are generated quickly without waiting on IT staff.

According to Doug Hennig, Vice-president and Chief Technology Officer of Stonefield Software, "We have a vision … rather than build another database reporting tool geared towards IT professionals, we've designed a user-friendly package targeted at the 99% of the population who aren't technically inclined. We take care of all the hard programming so that the end user can simply pick the information they want and Query will automatically format the output."

The Stonefield Query SDK (Software Developer's Kit www.stonefieldquery.com/Solutions/StonefieldQuerySDK.aspx) is also available to enable Stonefield Query to work with virtually any other database including Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, and many others. With the SDK, developers can build custom user-friendly reporting solutions for in-house or commercially deployed applications.

Existing ACT! by Sage customers can purchase Stonefield Query through their ACT! Certified Consultant or directly from Stonefield Software for customers who are not currently aligned with an ACT! reseller.

Bridgend College Strives for ITIL Excellence

Bridgend College Strives for ITIL Excellence

South Wales FE/HE College migrates to sostenuto for IT service management and ITIL needs

Chessington, UK (PRWEB) February 13, 2009 -- Bridgend College today announced that it is migrating to the web-based Sostenuto service desk system, from Sunrise Software, as it looks to improve its IT service management and move towards the ITIL framework for best-practice IT service delivery. The further education college is home to over 10,000 students and 800 staff across five campuses.

Sostenuto ITSM helps organisations achieve best practice in service delivery by introducing a proactive service desk, service level agreements and helping organisations keep track of their IT assets. Best practice ITIL processes are pre-built in Sostenuto for quick and easy implementation, but because of the system's modern design they can be further configured to suit an organisation's individual requirements.

Bridgend College is taking advantage of Sostenuto's modular design to adopt a phased approach to ITIL compliance, starting with incident management, before moving onto some of the more advanced aspects of ITIL such as change and release management. It is also implementing a knowledge base and plans in the future to introduce the Chameleon browser-based portal, so students and staff can manage their own support queries through the college's website.

Tom Weston, executive chairman of Sunrise Software, said: "Bridgend College is a valued customer and we are honoured to be assisting them in moving to the next phase of their service management journey."

About Sunrise Software:

Sunrise was founded in 1994 and is a leading independent provider of IT Service Management solutions.

Its customer base includes over 1,000 blue chip and public sector organisations, including names such as Anglian Water, Mothercare, the NHS, QVC, Harper Collins, Rugby Football Union and Landesbank Baden Wurttemberg.

Sunrise is widely recognised for excellent service, and product innovation is key to its long-term vision. This is the strategy behind the launch, in 2003, of Sostenuto ITSM, a process driven, entirely browser based solution to complement Enterprise, its well-established client-server offering.

2007 saw the launch of Sostenuto Foundation, a browser-based solution that offers the core ITIL processes out of the box. Foundation allows customers to take a step-by-step approach to ITIL, an alternative to the 'ITIL all-in' approach available with Sostenuto ITSM.
