Apr 29, 2009 -- Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADVS), a leading provider of software and services for the global investment management industry, today announced that asset management firm, Munder Capital Management, has implemented Advent Portfolio Exchange(R) (APX). APX is Advent's industry-leading portfolio and client management platform. Headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan, Munder has $21 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2008.
Munder was previously using two separate portfolio accounting systems, one for fixed-income reporting and one for portfolio accounting. The firm decided to look for a new integrated portfolio management solution with strong accounting capabilities for its fixed-income portfolios, which included mortgage-backed securities, in addition to traditional corporate and government instruments. Munder turned to Advent, and once all of its portfolio management and reporting had migrated onto APX, Munder saw major efficiency gains almost immediately.
"Because we're now on one system, we don't have to worry about interfacing or manually keeping up more than one accounting system, which is a tremendous improvement for us," said Judy Weipert, Manager of Investment Operations. "Our previous system could take up to 30 seconds just to post one trade of one security in one account. When we imported trade files from our trading system, it took hours with 1,000 trades. In APX, we've had files of 50,000 transactions that post in 30 or 40 minutes max. The difference is night and day."
In addition to APX, Munder uses Advent Revenue Center(R) for billing and revenue management; Advent(R) Custodial Data (ACD) for managing and reconciling portfolio information; Advent Corporate Actions(R) (ACA) for customized, position-level corporate action reports; and Rex(R) for reconciliation management.
Added Weipert, "APX has changed the whole reporting process for Munder. Our fixed-income managers were able to reduce staff, and still get reports out more quickly than when they had more staff. They've also been able to take on more accounts with special reporting requirements, because APX is so much more efficient, accurate and timely."
"Advent works in collaboration with its customers to provide solutions that help support and meet their business objectives," said Michele Holton, Director of Product Marketing at Advent. "APX met Munder's requirements for more streamlined, accurate, and timely accounting and reporting across a full breadth of fixed-income instruments, and their input made the product even stronger. Our business is based on delivering solutions that address genuine client needs; that is why Advent not only welcomes but actively seeks client involvement when developing or enhancing products."

Apr 29, 2009 -- Daulton Capital Corp. (OTCBB: DULT) announced today that it signed an Agreement to acquire Energy Solutions People Inc. Formed in September 2007 to address the needs of residential, small commercial and light industrial users, Energy Solutions' solar and wind energy products have been designed to provide clean, renewable energy that will help lower the demand for traditional energy sources such as oil, coal and natural gas. Plans to acquire ESP were first announced by Daulton on March 16, 2009.
The Agreement provides that Daulton will acquire approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of Energy Solutions in exchange for 7,234,034 shares of Daulton's common stock. When the acquisition has been completed, Energy Solutions will take steps to establish a global distribution network of independent distributors and sales reps.
In May 2009 Daulton plans to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Energy Solutions for 1,087,750 shares of its common stock.
As of April 30, 2009 Energy Solutions had not commenced sales and had not generated any revenue.
Energy Solutions has acquired the rights to several proprietary renewable energy products, the most significant of which are wind turbines and solar powered electrical generators. Although it is still a development-stage business, Energy Solutions is the ideal company for Daulton to use for its entry into the lucrative and growing renewable energy industry.
As part of this transition, Daulton intends to proceed with a name and ticker symbol change to better reflect its new focus.
April 29, 2009 -- This week at the 10th annual Microsoft Management Summit 2009, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) showcased solutions for managing the complexity of today's diverse IT environments, which include highly virtualized systems, a mix of software and online services, cloud-based computing, and an explosion of mobile devices. As part of the conference keynote addresses, Microsoft executives announced and demonstrated currently shipping solutions, and future capabilities, that help dramatically reduce IT costs by making IT infrastructures more manageable, and help increase the productivity of IT staff.
"In today's environment, IT is faced with a growing set of end-user demands and business-critical expectations around service availability," said Brad Anderson, general manager of the Management and Services Division at Microsoft. "Customers want familiar tools that provide a complete view of service levels, applications, infrastructure and clients. Microsoft empowers customers and partners today with an integrated suite of products and technologies, and we're investing today for future innovations so customers can accomplish great things."
In yesterday's keynote address Bob Kelly, corporate vice president of Infrastructure Server Marketing at Microsoft, announced expanded cloud computing initiatives, and invited customers and partners to create, deploy and manage the foundation for highly scalable, cloud-based solutions using Microsoft's familiar tools, products and online services. Microsoft discussed the opportunities that private and public cloud computing environments provide organizations to streamline costs in the datacenter and accelerate business solutions.
During today's keynote address, Anderson shared progress on Microsoft's user-centric client management strategy. The strategy focuses on empowering end users, and enabling IT professionals to orchestrate the delivery of business services to an expanded portfolio of devices and access scenarios. Anderson demonstrated how products such as Windows 7, the virtualization technologies in Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), and Microsoft System Center management suite provide customers with the foundation for user-centric client management.
-- Anderson demonstrated how Microsoft System Center can help make Windows 7 deployments and life-cycle management cost-effective and efficient.
Customers can use System Center to automatically discover and assess hardware and software readiness migration and compatibility, and help make more informed deployment decisions. These deployment decisions become easier when System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 is used to deploy Windows 7. This service pack supports Windows technologies to help efficiently migrate user data on a system, reduce the deployment time of Windows and both virtual and physical applications, and update clients fast and easily. System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 is scheduled to be available for beta testing within 90 days.
-- Anderson announced that the next version of MDOP will be available within 90 days of the general availability of Windows 7. Customers will be able to deploy all MDOP components into production, except for Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization, which will be available for beta testing.
-- Anderson demonstrated Microsoft System Center Service Manager, a platform for integrating and automating processes, IT activities and knowledge across the System Center suite. System Center Service Manager includes IT service management capabilities such as incident, problem, asset and change management processes, a self-service portal, reporting, and a configuration management database. A community technology preview of System Center Service Manager will be available in 60 days, and a public beta will be available in the second half of 2009.
-- Anderson announced the development of System Center Online Desktop Manager, an integrated security and management tool that provides desktop management capabilities in the form of an online service. System Center Online Desktop Manager will help enable IT professionals to keep their businesses highly secure and up to date using a Web-based subscription service to monitor, troubleshoot, update and configure desktops. These online services will complement Microsoft'straditional management and security solutions. System Center Online Desktop Manager will be available to a private group of testers within 60 days, and available for public beta testing by the end of 2009.
As today's news demonstrates, organizations want tools to help create more dynamic desktop infrastructure, which offers greater control and end-user uptime, and accelerates software deployment and management. One example is Cox Communications Inc., the third-largest cable company in the United States. The company uses Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) to stream applications to users on demand to 27,500 computers. Cox Communications has created a user-centric desktop environment in which employees have the applications they need, when and where they need them, online or offline. Cox has reduced its desktop management work by hundreds of hours annually, reduced application testing and enhanced desktop security by better tracking of software updates.
"Using Microsoft App-V, we can dynamically stream applications to employees, no matter which computer they are using," said Chip Gandy, senior systems administrator at Cox Communications. "There's huge benefit in being able to move call-center personnel from one desk to another. If their computer fails for some reason, they simply move to another computer, and all their applications and even their phone number moves with them. There is no loss of productivity."
Microsoft Management Summit 2009 is the premier event of the year for IT professionals seeking deep technical information and training on the latest IT management solutions from Microsoft, partners and industry experts. This year's platinum sponsors are Dell Inc. and HP, and gold sponsors are 1E, Adaptiva, BridgeWays, Computer Associates Inc., Citrix Systems Inc., Intel Corporation, Novell Inc. and Quest Software Inc.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

Under the terms of the early retirement, the Company will pay 70% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest in cash and will issue shares of its common stock for the remaining 30% of the principal by dividing that principal amount by $2.50 for a total payment of approximately $12 million in cash and 2,040,000 shares of common stock.
