The European Commission has good reason to justify is future proposal on reinforced protection of private data of EU citizens, especially online. According to results of a Eurobarometer survey, released on 16 June, 74% of Europeans feel that disclosing personal information is a part of modern life. The same proportion of citizens (75%) want a right to be forgotten' on the internet. This right has been promised by Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding and it would allow internet users to ask Google and other internet players to erase their data.
The survey - based on a sample of 26,574 citizens aged 15 and over across the EU - is loaded with figures. For example: in the mind of 75% of people surveyed the most private data were financial, followed by medical data (74%) and identity cards and passport numbers (73%).
Given that most of the information internet users reveal is linked to the use of social networks, such as Facebook, said information most often provided was name (79%), photos (51%) and nationality (47%). Online shoppers most often provided companies with their name, address and GSM number. Forty-three percent of respondents said they were asked to provide more information than was necessary. Only 58% of internet users read privacy statements online and 70% of them adapted their online behaviour accordingly.
Only 33% of users were aware of the existence of national authorities dealing with information technology, privacy and freedom, such as the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertes (CNIL) in France. Furthermore, 62% of people in the European Union gave the minimum required information so as to protect their identity. They were more likely to trust public authorities rather than companies. Seventy percent of the respondents said they were concerned about companies using these data for purposes other than agreed. Twenty-eight percent were prepared to pay to have access to their data stocked by private or public entities. Although a majority of Europeans wanted to be responsible for the protection of their own data, 90% were in favour of having the same data protection rights across Europe. Opinions varied when it came to choosing between legislation implemented by the EU (44%) or by member states (40%). With regard to companies using their data without their knowledge, 51% of Europeans felt that they should be sentenced, banned from using the collected data (40%) or forced to financially compensate victims (39%). Eighty-eight percent felt that their privacy would be better protected if large companies were obliged to have a data protection controller.
Reding plans to release her proposal in the autumn (revising a 1995 directive). In March, she announced four pillars: 1. the right to be forgotten'; 2. increased transparency on the part of companies using these data; 3. use of data to be strictly limited to the use agreed by their owner; and 4. all companies operating in the EU to follow the Union's data protection regulation.n

ALBANY, NY -- The following information was released by the New York State Chief Information Officer and Office for Technology (CIO/OFT):
The New York State Chief Information and Director of the Office for Technology, Dr. Melodie Mayberry-Stewart, is pleased to announce the National Association of State CIO's (NASCIO's) has selected three New York State agencies' exemplary IT initiatives as finalists for the 2010 NASCIO Recognition Awards for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Information Technology. This is a major milestone for the state which has never received more than one finalist position in the past.
Only 17 states were recognized with finalists. Michigan was first with the most finalists, followed a 4-way tie of New York State, California, Colorado and North Carolina. NASCIO recognized 33 major IT initiatives in 10 categories as it celebrated its 22nd consecutive year. One finalist in each category will be honored at NASCIO's Annual Conference next month in Miami.
"I am extremely pleased to learn NASCIO selected three of our New York State IT initiatives as finalists for the 2010 Recognition Awards for Outstanding Achievement in the field of Information Technology," said Governor David A. Paterson. "In this challenging economic climate, New York State remains focused on innovative IT solutions to deliver cost-efficient, reliable services to our taxpayers. I wish each finalist the best of luck in the final round. This is a true testament that our program to build a strong innovation and digital economy is working and being recognized nationally."
"Our CIO Community is thrilled to learn NASCIO has recognized three of the ten nominees we submitted which demonstrated the value and impact of IT programs in New York State to deliver most cost-efficient and effective IT solutions to our taxpayers," said Dr. Melodie-Mayberry-Stewart. "The selection of the three NYS finalists in this prestigious awards program is a testament to the innovative uses of technology to improve the quality of life for all New Yorkers. Congratulations to all of our ten nominees and our three finalists."
The three NYS initiatives selected as finalists in their respective categories are:
Department of Labor - Smart 2010 Project
Category: Data, Information and Knowledge Management
Harnessing the power of the Internet and with a financial investment of less than a dollar per customer, New York's Skills Matching and Referral Technology (SMART) 2010 job lead service was launched in October 2009. SMART 2010's artificial intelligence compares the skills of New York job seekers from their resumes with skills requested by employers listed in the New York Job Bank. To date, more than 65,000 job seekers have submitted resumes to the SMART 2010 system. Approximately 16,000 unemployed job seekers have been hired for a job referred to them by SMART 2010.

Department of Health and Office of Mental Health - The Psychiatric Services and Clinical Knowledge Enhancement System (PSYCKES)
Category: Cross Boundary Collaboration and Partnerships
Through collaborative technologies, the New York State Department of Health (DOH) and Office of Mental Health (OMH) has undertaken the initiative to improve the quality and efficiency of psychotropic prescribing practices in NYS. The Psychiatric Services and Clinical Knowledge Enhancement System (PSYCKES) initiative is based on an award-winning portfolio of web-based tools designed to identify Medicaid enrollees statewide who are receiving care that is considered both costly and questionable in quality. Through PSYCKES, system users are able to easily review quality indicators, identify consumers whose treatment could benefit from review, and obtain medication and service utilization information to support quality improvement and clinical decision-making. The OMH/DOH PSYCKES has resulted in significant benefits to the stakeholder groups, Medicaid patients, and New York State.
Michael F. Hogan, Ph.D., Commissioner of the Office of Mental Health, said, "PSYCKES is a terrific project that 'bends the curve' of improving health care quality and reducing cost. It uses available information to improve medication treatment, for example by reducing risky use of multiple medicines for both adults and children. New applications are empowering consumers to collaborate with their doctors, and helping coordinate care for people in crises. I want to congratulate Dr. Molly Finnerty and her medical team and Dr. Hao Wang and his IT team for this recognition, and acknowledge terrific support our colleagues at the NYS Department of Health. PSYCKES is the kind of effort we need to make health care safer, better and more cost-effective."
Projects and initiatives from NASCIO member states, territories, and the District of Columbia were eligible for nomination, and finalists were selected by NASCIO's Awards Committee from a field of more than 130 nominees. New York State submitted nominations for ten state IT projects.
To view a description of New York State's nominated projects and finalists please visit www.cio.ny.gov. Also, details about all the nominated projects are posted on NASCIO's website at www.nascio.org/awards.

Xtranet intends to continue to operate DataGate as a wholly owned subsidiary out of St. Kitts, with its current management intact.

TORRANCE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1996--WebVision Inc. has released the second generation of its market tested interactive order-management system, WEBtropolis ORDERnet 2.0.
Using the tools of ORDERnet, a business of any size can create a "virtual store" at a new or existing Web site. ORDERnet users can swiftly adjust prices, display color images of their inventory, provide pre-sales information and accept payment safely.
Despite the rich potential of electronic commerce, most businesses are hampered by limited choices in how to establish commercial space on the Internet, according to John McGloughlin, WebVision's executive vice president of Technical Services. "In general, it's either choose plug-and-play products with no features, or deal with someone whose `products' that turn out to be high-priced contract services rather than turnkey solutions." The solutions available to date have required that a business choose from a small set of standard formats that may or may not match their business model.
In contrast, for about the price of a single workstation, an ORDERnet user can create templates that can be customized with a wealth of features and options to match their customers' needs. This flexibility is possible largely because ORDERnet uses WebVision's WEBtropics PAGEscriptor, a scripting tool for HTML. PAGEscriptor is a server-based communications framework that offers advanced session and transaction control through an easy-to-use interface. Developers of ORDERnet pages can call sub-applications within HTML, rather than program conventionally in C or another language.

Joint Product and Service Solution Provides Network Analysis to Improve Access to Powerful Network for Educators, Students and Staff across the State
ANNAPOLIS, Md. & EL CENTRO, Calif. -- Netcordia, a leading provider of network analysis solutions, and the California K-12 High Speed Network (K12HSN), the administrator of the state's high speed educational network, today announced a partnership to provide educators, students and staff with improved end-to-end access to high-speed networks. K12HSN will provide local network administrators with Netcordia's NetMRI network analysis solution to provide schools, districts and county offices of education in California with opportunities to automate network management.
California K12HSN provides services to 72 K-12 node sites which are extended to 81% (7,646) of the state's schools, 87% (863) of the state's school districts, and 100% (58) of county offices of education in California. Over five million students (80%) benefit from this connectivity.
Service delivery from the state's high-speed network can often be impaired by undetected and often unintended local network configurations. Recent studies have shown that the choking points on network availability are no longer on the national backbone, nor are they at the state networking level - they are most often at the local education loop or individual institution.
To help schools address this condition, K12HSN is deploying NetMRI to help audit local networks, analyze conditions and provide opportunities to automate configuration fixes to proactively address local network issues that can hinder access. As a result, state schools experience improved access to powerful networks, making conditions more ideal for the use of online learning tools, such as distance learning. After the initial audit, schools, districts and county offices of education interested in purchasing NetMRI equipment will be able to do so at discount prices.
"Netcordia and K12HSN are collaborating to provide California's schools with the opportunity to better understand their networks and ensure end-to-end performance based on industry best practices," said Todd Finnell, CEO of the K12HSN. "NetMRI's built-in rules, Network Scorecard and actionable task lists, will assist schools with local network configuration in order to maintain reliable access for teachers and students."
A comprehensive network analysis solution, NetMRI monitors, detects, and reports on network issues before they become problems. NetMRI provides built-in expert rules to comprehensively maintain the health of a network, and delivers critical analysis information in a simple, precise, and efficient manner. This enables K12HSN to quickly and easily view issues, identifying potential problems before they disrupt the network.
"K12HSN's objective of helping to foster better access goes well beyond a management service of the last mile connectivity," said Don Pyle, CEO of Netcordia. "Together, K12HSN and Netcordia offer schools a powerful combination which will significantly cut operational costs and ensure cleaner, clearer network access while presenting a network best practices learning opportunity for students and staff."
About Netcordia
Netcordia offers enterprises, service providers and government agencies simply a better way to manage their networks. Able to deploy in less than 30 minutes, Netcordia's NetMRI provides the continuous analysis, reporting, and troubleshooting capabilities necessary to manage multivendor networks. This automated solution provides visibility into the network to easily and quickly identify and track issues related to compliance, configuration, performance, security, and IP Telephony which can lead to network instability and service interruption.
Netcordia has been recognized as one of the top companies to watch in network management by Network Computing, one of the Fierce15 top emerging companies in IP Telephony by FierceVoIP, and a Red Herring 100 finalist. (www.netcordia.com)
About K-12HSN
The California K-12 High Speed Network program is funded by the California Department of Education to manage the manner in which educators, students and staff across the state access the California Research and Education Network, a reliable high speed network with the capacity to deliver high quality online resources to support teaching and learning and promote academic achievement.

Genesys to Integrate and Resell ClickFox Software to Improve Internet, Self-Service and Contact Center Interactions
SAN DIEGO, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc., an Alcatel-Lucent company (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU), and ClickFox today announced they have integrated the Genesys 7.5 customer interaction management suite with ClickFox's Customer Behavior Intelligence (CBI) software and Genesys will begin reselling ClickFox software.
In the past, most organizations could not easily track customer interactions that started on the web and continued into other parts of customer service, especially when customers abandoned the interaction prior to completion. Any possible lessons or problems with a site went unnoticed. Most customers simply started from scratch, either over the Internet or by phone, when resuming their requests. As a result, today many customers see serious gaps in continuity as they move between different channels of contact.
"Customer expectations are higher today than ever before and are continuing to rise," said Wes Hayden, president and CEO of Genesys. "Companies with actionable data about customer behavior have a clear understanding of how -- and where -- to make the improvements that impact customer satisfaction the most."
Genesys, the world's leading software platform for customer interaction, leverages customer information and analytics models to orchestrate and improve business processes applied to customer service across all channels. Used by the largest customer service organizations in the world, Genesys captures millions of interactions each day, creating an integrated source of web, voice self-service, and assisted-service interactions using its InfoMart and customer logs.
ClickFox's Customer Behavior Intelligence software takes large interaction datasets, such as web, IVR and agent transaction logs, and creates visual maps that enable customer service organizations to analyze and improve the overall customer experience. Through "path analytics" and subsequent improvements, an enterprise can reduce abandoned tasks and repetitive requests that lead to frustration. ClickFox's path analytics approach helps reveal the real customer experience across channels.
When combined with the Genesys suite, ClickFox improves an organization's understanding of what works, where customer bottlenecks occur and the best path for improvement. The key benefit of the integration is that it simplifies access to a complete set of customer interaction data through a single source, helping to optimize the total customer experience.
About ClickFox
ClickFox is privately held with leading investors that include Cedar Fund, Delta Ventures and Veritas Venture Partners, and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. ClickFox's unique software modeling solutions enable businesses to translate complex customer interactions across multiple service channels, revealing the entire customer experience. ClickFox models and analyzes behavior in any interactive system, including:
-- Interactive Voice Response (IVR) -- Speech recognition -- Internet/Intranet sites and web applications -- Kiosks -- CRM and enterprise applications
ClickFox customers have realized both cost savings and performance optimization, including:
-- Increased transactional conversions -- Increased user adoption rates for web applications -- Reduced IVR call transfer rates to more expensive customer service representatives -- Increased web self-help service fulfillment rates -- Enhanced customer satisfaction -- Reduced customer churn -- Less reliance on expensive enterprise interaction channels -- Increased click-throughs and conversions for interactive advertising -- Optimized brand awareness and performance About Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc.
Genesys, an Alcatel-Lucent company, is the only company that focuses 100 on software to manage customer interactions over the phone, web and in e-mail. The Genesys software suite dynamically connects customers with the right resources -- self-service or assisted-service -- to fulfill customer requests, optimize customer care goals and efficiently use resources. Genesys software directs more than 100 million customer interactions every day for 4,000 companies and government agencies in 80 countries.

The worldwide end-user WAN and Internet access service market will grow 24 percent over the next four years, according to Infonetics Research. The company based its findings on interviews with network managers at 240 organizations of all sizes.
According to Infonetics, the growth will be driven both by increased WAN use by existing users, as well as the addition of new applications like multimedia and enterprise resource planning (ERP), which consume significant bandwidth.
The market research house also reported that the mix of WAN access connections is changing from mostly frame relay and TDM to a wider assortment that includes optical-Ethernet and broadband. Leased line and frame relay still account for 94 percent of carriers' Internet service revenues from business; DSL brought in 5 percent, and cable modems 1 percent.

Bel Air Internet officially announced its new Temporary Internet Access (TIA) for live-streaming coverage of special events. With its recently upgraded wireless multi-gigabit network, covering over 1300 square miles of Los Angeles, it is now possible to get temporary ultra-high-speed Internet whenever and wherever you may need it.
Bel Air Internet has created a way to send a wireless Internet signal to almost any location to allow web streaming or any other large file to be sent instantly. "It's basically a portable connection which allows us to transmit your content wherever you need it for your special event or project. No other company can do this," says Terry Koosed, president of BAI. "We recently provided temporary Internet for the Northern Trust Golf Tournament to enable the media covering the event to send out all their digital content instantly."
Those who have needed this type of service in the past have had to depend on satellite transmission, which is very costly and not readily available to most people. Bel Air Internet states their TIA system is more accessible, affordable, and much easier to set up. They also claim to offer great speed with super-low latency, which allows users to avoid the typical jitter and long download times that typically plague satellite transmission.
With this unique service, Bel Air Internet primarily caters to clientele who live-stream the most exclusive events, including the recent 2011 Grammy Awards as well as numerous red carpet film premieres. "Over the last few years, a growing number of our clients have required high-speed Internet in our event space, as these functions have become increasingly interactive, cutting-edge, and visible over the Internet. We needed high-speed Internet, but were caught in a Catch 22, as we only required it for specific events," says Emma Suttles, special events coordinator at Avalon Hollywood. "Luckily, we found Bel Air Internet; now we only pay for our Internet when we need it."
