      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>Global Software Firm Expanding Delivery Capability in South America</em></p>
<p>CHICAGO, January 21, 2010 - ThoughtWorks, the global leader in Agile methods of software development, is proud to announce its newest office location in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The office, which opened in December 2009, marks the firm's entrance into South America and is located in the Tecnopuc Technology Innovation Park on the campus of Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul.<!--more--></p>
<p>ThoughtWorks' Brazil office is an important part of the firm's strategic plan, which includes continued support for software excellence by expanding its global footprint into economic regions beyond its existing operations in North America, Europe, India, China and Australia. <br />Brazil is an important part of the firm's strategy due to the country's wealth of highly skilled information technology workers, its commitment to the advancement of emerging technologies such as dynamic languages, and its support for the advancement of Open Source software.<!--more--></p>
<p>For ThoughtWorks' clients, the new office location offers numerous benefits such as a closer time-zone proximity to the U.S. and the opportunity to engage in one of the top ten global economies.</p>
<p>Craig Gorsline, managing director of ThoughtWorks U.S., says that the new office reinforces the firm's dedication to the satisfaction and success of its clients.</p>
<p>"Our clients operate in competitive environments. We are constantly looking for ways to meet their needs for timely and cost-effective delivery of mission critical software," said Gorsline.</p>
<p>"This expansion brings even greater value to our clients while maintaining the highest levels of service and quality. This is an excellent opportunity for ThoughtWorks to further our mission to continuously cultivate talent and relationships around the globe."</p>
<p>Roy Singham, ThoughtWorks' founder and chairman, says that expansion into Brazil is important to the firm's technology strategy as well as to its commitment to the global community.</p>
<p>"Brazil is positioned to emerge in the next decade as the world's fifth largest economy, in part because of its long history of supporting autonomous and indigenous technologies but also because Brazil also has many outstanding universities and numerous active software communities. The Free, Open-Source software movement is ideal for developing innovative software and Brazil will play an increasingly important part of the new global innovation network that is no longer focused solely in western countries."</p>
<p>The Brazilian office expands ThoughtWorks' diverse distributed development capability. ThoughtWorks' strategic plan includes targeting its services to the Brazilian market and offering its expertise to clients.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>Leader in Scrum project and program management tools adds print capability,<br /> theme filtering, and reporting improvements</em></p>
<p>BELLEVUE, Wash., Dec. 2, 2009-Danube Technologies, Inc., the leader in project management tools and training for the Scrum project management framework, today announced new reporting, theme filtering, printing, and resource allocation reporting to its ScrumWorks&#0174; Pro product. The result of user input from Danube's Community Portal at (<a href="http://community.danube.com/" target="_blank">http://community.danube.com/</a>), the new features build on the enterprise capabilities launched in ScrumWorks 4 and demonstrate Danube's commitment to listening and responding quickly to customer feedback to advance Scrum practices across large-scale deployments.</p>
<p><!--more--><br />"These latest enhancement to ScrumWorks Pro are the result of the ScrumWorks community's drive to improve Scrum in the enterprise," said Laszlo Szalvay, president and CEO of Danube. "There's no better source for suggested new features than the more than 125,000 ScrumWorks users around the globe. We value their input and are pleased to respond quickly with feature enhancements that will improve their productivity."<br />New features of ScrumWorks Pro 4.2 include:</p>
<ul class="unIndentedList">
<li>Team Member Allocation Report. This report gives management a central view of who is working on what. Organized by weekly or monthly workloads, the report identifies individuals that are over-allocated as well as those that maybe under-utilized and available to help with under-staffed projects.</li>
<li>Printing Enhancements: The "print-to-cards" feature now displays full, unabridged titles and allows for dynamic font re-sizing. "Print-to-cards" also automatically prioritizes the title and description fields over less important fields, cropping those fields if necessary. </li>
<li>Combined Theme Filtering: "Themes" are the primary mechanism in ScrumWorks Pro for categorizing Backlog Items by associating a specific keyword to a specific item or group of items. Now, ScrumWorks Pro provides users with additional flexibility in filtering requirements by Themes as well as Theme-based reports. </li>
<li>Improved Product Backlog Item Reporting: A complete re-design of the Product Backlog Item module for Web reports provides an improved user experience and stronger reporting capability with the addition of a "Status" filter to already existing "Release" and "Themes" filter options. </li>
</ul>
<p>Pricing and Availability <br />ScrumWorks Pro 4.2 is available now and can be purchased directly from Danube. Pricing is offered through an on-site, per-seat subscription license that starts at $289-per-user, per-year, or less than $25 per-user, per-month, as well as an on-site, per-seat fully paid license for $500.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>As adoption of Agile software development methodologies continue to increase throughout the U.K. and Europe, ThoughtWorks Studios continues to grow</em></p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO AND LONDON, Oct. 28, 2009 - ThoughtWorks Studios, a global leader in Agile ALM tools and training, today announced its continued expansion of operations within the United Kingdom (U.K.) with a growing customer base of enterprise customers, the addition of support and executive staff in its London office and the deployment of its recently launched Adaptive ALM<sup>TM</sup> into key client accounts. Most notably, the company's Agile ALM solutions have been deployed by leading corporate accounts, including Rosetta Stone, BBC, Barclays and thetrainline.com, and Adrian Jones has joined the U.K. team as vice president of sales Europe.<!--more--></p>
<p>"As organizations look to improve IT efficiencies and performance, the increasing use of Agile development methodologies in the U.K. has led to strong customer demand for tools that help manage and automate the entire software development process," said Cyndi Mitchell, ThoughtWorks Studios' managing director, who also is based in London. "With the recent launch of our Adaptive ALM solution and accelerating customer demand, we continue to expand our operations here and look forward to helping more U.K.-based organizations succeed in building better software faster."</p>
<p>Recent developments within the U.K. include:</p>
<p>Customer growth: ThoughtWorks Studios has seen strong demand and customer growth for its Agile ALM tools throughout the U.K. A prime example is thetrainline.com, the leading U.K. rail ticket retailer. This customer used ThoughtWorks Studios Adaptive ALM solution to help manage its major Agile development initiative that included more than 200 developers and required the re-architecting of a large legacy code base that was built up over multiple years. Using Mingle&#0174; as the Agile project management hub, thetrainline.com effectively tracked and managed the status and progress of multiple teams working on highly complex applications. ThoughtWorks Studios' Cruise&#0174; tool helped automate the entire software build and deployment process. The end result is a highly efficient online ticketing system that now contains 46 percent less page views and has trimmed the time to purchase a ticket by almost 60 percent.</p>
<p>Adaptive ALM<sup>TM</sup> launch: ThoughtWorks Studios has been busy rolling out its new Adaptive ALM solution to existing and new customers throughout the U.K. It is the only fully-automated Agile ALM solution on the market that supports all aspects of a software development and delivery lifecycle, from requirements definition and portfolio management to test automation, quality assurance and release management.</p>
<p>Appointment of Adrian Jones as Vice President of Sales, Europe: Jones brings more than 25 years of high technology management and enterprise software sales experience to the ThoughtWorks Studios team. Prior experience includes sales leadership positions with Oracle, Versant and Sleepycat Software, a company whose European operation he co-founded in 2004.</p>
<p>"Agile software development methods are helping organizations across the U.K. and Europe achieve strategic business goals and improve customer satisfaction quicker and more effectively," said Jones. "I am thrilled to join ThoughtWorks Studios and to help customers around the globe transform their IT delivery capability through integrated Agile ALM techniques and tools."</p>
<p>About ThoughtWorks Studios<br />ThoughtWorks Studios is a global leader in Agile ALM tools and training. Its products and services are used by organizations as a foundation for sustainable Agile adoption, where project management, automation and engineering best practices are required.

<p>WHAT: Wireless 101: From Remote Site to Desktop with Wireless Connectivity</p>
<p>Fifteen years ago, even the more advanced automation systems seldom supported telemetry. Systems that did employ telemetry offered very slow data throughput and rarely could provide coverage to every automated location, limiting their usefulness. Today, it's common to have 100 percent communication to all field locations, and to experience data throughput from the field of 19.2 or even 38.4 K baud. High-speed backbone telemetry is now available in the megabits range. Wireless instrumentation is the latest telemetry trend, supporting analog and digital signals without the constraints of a wired connection. Now, it can be used to communicate to and from pressure or temperature transducers, to control valves remotely, to signal the arrival of switch closures, or to report status changes or contact closures. This presentation will explore all of the various options available to companies in selecting their wireless network solutions and offer key considerations when evaluating what solution works best for their environment and application.</p>

<p>Brisbane, Australia and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - July 14, 2009 - AtMail, a leading provider of easy-to-use, Linux-based email management appliances and software, today announced AtMail 6.0, its entirely re-tooled email system that combines the benefits of highly advanced Webmail with the control and security of in-house email. AtMail 6.0 eliminates the need for costly "boxed" email licenses, saves time and headaches associated with traditional desktop email management and provides a dynamic, single email interface for use internally or remotely via the Web.<!--more--></p>

It combines the growing benefits of cloud-based computing with the security and control many organizations require when it comes to email. AtMail 6.0 is a great, low-cost alternative to Microsoft Exchange and a more secure and robust offering than pure Webmail systems like Google's Gmail.</p>
<p>"We've spent the past year working with our global customers to develop a Web-based platform that will redefine how email is deployed, managed and used within organizations of all types and sizes," said Ben Duncan, founder and CEO at AtMail.

Now organizations of all sizes can easily design and customize an enterprise-grade Webmail and server solutions to manage email and collaboration processes that meet unique demands and changing business conditions.</p>
<p>The new AtMail 6.0 features:</p>
<ul class="unIndentedList">
<li>Improved user experience:</li>
</ul>
<p>o End-users now have a single interface for all email needs<br />o Conversation view of email messages, new thread support and direct reply capabilities reduces wasted time digging through old email and constant refreshing <br />o Flexible three-pane email interface provides a "one-shot" view of messages, threads and supporting data<br />o Improved, embedded HTML editing streamlines email composition <br />o Integrated address and calendaring includes Vcard support, photo thumbnails, contact groups and live search </p>
<ul class="unIndentedList">
<li>Improved performance and management:</li>
</ul>
<p>o Built with AJAX for quick development of advanced features resulting in increased ease for users<br />o Integrated Web-based email management for remote install, upgrade and maintenance<br />o New Zend PHP framework, plug-in support and API using REST to manage user accounts and provisioning <br />o Complete Webadmin system for simplified mail-server maintenance, user control panel for remote add/delete of accounts, enhanced multi-server functionality<br />o SQL or LDAP authentication support<br />o Sub-administration capabilities for greater flexibility and selected delegation of specific domain management</p>
<p> "AtMail 6.0 is a scalable web-centric email system," said David Ferris, senior analyst at Ferris Research. "AtMail's offering is especially attractive to ISPs in developing countries, who want a rich email solution at an attractive cost."</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>Version 1.2 of the JMS Adapter for .NET supports distributed transactions with full rollback capability</em></p>
<p>BOULDER, Colo., June 1, 2009 (JavaOne Booth #208) - JNBridge, (<a href="http://www.jnbridge.com">www.jnbridge.com</a>), the award-winning provider of Java and .NET interoperability tools, today announced the release of version 1.2 of its JMS Adapter for .NET. The adapter provides a single-step integration between JMS (Java Messaging Service) capabilities and .NET Framework-based applications. This new version adds interoperability between .NET distributed transactions and local JMS transactions, thereby allowing JMS to fully participate in .NET transactions.<!--more--></p>
<p>"We use JNBridge's core product, JNBridgePro, to rapidly integrate our .NET-based Enterprise Service Bus with our JMS broker," said Don Taylor, CTO for Benefitfocus. "The ability to combine .NET and JMS transactions will allow us to extend our use of JNBridge interoperability technology to additional business-critical applications where preserving the integrity of data is paramount."</p>
<p>The JNBridge JMS Adapter for .NET integrates any vendor's JMS implementation directly with a .NET Framework-based application. Customers can quickly and easily create custom .NET applications that send messages to, and receive messages from, an existing JMS infrastructure. In the new version of the adapter, if a .NET-side operation fails inside a transaction, and the transaction must be rolled back, JMS messages that are consumed as part of the transaction will be placed back on the JMS queue, ensuring that no data is lost. When the .NET side resumes its activity, the messages are still on the JMS queue, and will be read when the .NET operations resume.</p>
<p>"JNBridge's technologies provide seamless integration between both the Java and .NET frameworks, which allows our organization to meet customer demand regardless of platform," said Michael Petersen, President at TechPath, a systems integration company. "We've successfully and easily integrated Microsoft's products with our customers' existing JMS systems, including enterprise systems that require 99.999 percent uptime. This new ability to support distributed transactions across platforms will be crucial for certain architectures in financial services and other transaction processing systems."</p>
<p>"Transactions are critical to many applications, especially in financial services," said Wayne Citrin, CTO of JNBridge. "A transaction needs to succeed or fail in its entirety, especially where money is involved. Current solutions that support distributed transactions do not guarantee their success across platforms. With version 1.2 of the adapter, this process is completely transparent for the user, and works regardless of the JMS vendor."</p>
<p>"With the increased adoption of financial systems that integrate both .NET and JEE technologies, true cross-platform transactions are a necessity that current web service-based interoperability standards fail to adequately meet," said Mark Driver vice president of research at Gartner. "Bridging technologies offer an alternative that is both fine-grained and tightly coupled-a fundamental requirement of any robust transaction processing implementation."<br />Pricing and Availability <br />The JNBridge JMS Adapter for .NET is available for immediate download from <a href="http://www.jnbridge.com">www.jnbridge.com</a>, and can be purchased directly from JNBridge.</p>
<p>About JNBridge<br />JNBridge connects Java and .NET based components and applications together with tools and adapters that are fast, simple to use and remove the complexities of cross-platform interoperability. JNBridge is a privately-held company based in Boulder, Colorado.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>Rawsthorne to provide practical approaches to understanding agile analysis and managing complex backlogs for teams</em> </p>
<p>Who:  Dan Rawsthorne <br />Senior Consultant <br />Danube Technologies, Inc. (www.danube.com)</p>
<p>Rawsthorne has been developing software for more than 25 years and is an accomplished manager, mentor, coach, trainer, consultant, and architect. The projects he has worked on range from e-commerce, to databases, military avionics and Air Traffic Control. He is a Certified Scrum Trainer and holds a PhD in mathematics from the University of Illinois. He is currently co-writing a book on Story-driven agile development that is due out in 2008.<!--more--></p>
<p>What: Agile Analysis</p>
<p>One of the basic rules of agility is "the customer drives." This is typically done by using stories, which represent valuable bits of work to be done by the team. There is a customer (product owner) who provides stories that have value to users and other stakeholders, prioritizes the backlog of stories for the team's consumption, explains the stories to the team in an ongoing conversation, and validates the resulting product's fitness for the marketplace. A major issue, and often a significant problem, is finding the right stories to drive the team. In this session, Rawsthorne will introduce the terms of agile analysis and explain the importance to agile teams. He will offer a highly interactive demonstration leaving participants with a greater appreciation of agile analysis and how it can improve teams and projects.</p>
<p>Complex Backlogs for Agile Projects</p>
<p>An agile team's backlog is a collection of items (stories and epics) that represent work to be done (or value to be produced) by the team. This backlog has two main purposes: first, to be the source of stories that drive the team, and second, to help the stakeholders understand what is being done, and what will be done, by the team. There is often a mismatch between what is needed by the team and what is needed by the stakeholders. In this talk, participants will discuss these issues and develop a model of complexity. The model is illustrated with simple examples, and Rawsthorne will present a few suggestions for managing this complexity. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the complexities of backlogs and attain valuable tools to help manage them.</p>
<p>When:  Agile Analysis <br />  Wed., Oct. 29<br />  10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.</p>
<p>Complex Backlogs for Agile Projects <br />Wed., Oct. 29<br />2:15 p.m. - 3:45 p.m.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>Schiel and James to share insights into how the Scrum methodology <br />can support ISO-9001 certification efforts and team building </em></p>
<p>Who: Jim Schiel<br />Certified Scrum Trainer <br />Danube Technologies, Inc. (www.danube.com)</p>
<p>Schiel is one of the foremost experts on Scrum and one of five Certified Scrum Trainers at Danube. He joined the company after 22 years with Siemens, where he played an instrumental role in creating one of the largest Scrum installations in the world. <!--more--></p>
<p>Michael James<br />Certified Scrum Trainer<br />Danube Technologies, Inc. (www.danube.com)<br />James is one of Danube's software process mentors and a Certified Scrum Trainer, focusing on the engineering practices that enable agility. Having worked in the software industry for more than 25 years as a developer he has experience in automated testing that predates the Extreme Programming movement.</p>
<p>What: Implementing ISO (9001 in Scrum Environment)</p>
<p>ISO-9001 is widely seen as a product differentiator for businesses operating within highly competitive markets. Many businesses have, over the years, put a considerable amount of time and money into acquiring ISO-9001 certification. Unfortunately, agile development is often seen as an obstacle to maintaining the ISO certification. Contrary to this belief, however, the Scrum method of agile development offers up a set of unique operating characteristics that do not interfere with the implementation standards routinely seen within the software engineering industry. In this session, Schiel will describe some of the challenges of these ISO-9001-related implementations, along with practical approaches to dealing with them. Topics discussed during the session include: how to define a quality policy, how to define required processes and how to leverage Scrum sprint reviews to support organizational audit-ability.</p>
<p>Exploring Team Ingenuity Outside the Software Industry</p>
<p>Aviators, surgical teams, elite military squads, and jazz musicians have discovered teamwork is the main factor in their effectiveness. The visibility of success or failure in these fields lends itself to analysis of teamwork in general. Scrum has helped the software industry realize teamwork is crucial to business success. James will explore what ScrumMasters learn from the study of teamwork in other fields and the techniques other disciplines have tried for improving teamwork. In this highly interactive session, James will lead attendees through discussions on how Scrum teams can take their performance and ingenuity to the next level.</p>
<p>When: Implementing ISO (9001 in Scrum Environment)<br />Wed., Oct. 22<br />10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.</p>
<p>Exploring Team Ingenuity Outside the Software Industry<br />Wed., Oct. 22<br />10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><em>Company executive to share insights on Java and .NET interoperability</em>  <br /> <br />Who:  Wayne Citrin <br />  CTO <br />JNBridge <br /><a href="http://www.jnbridge.com">www.jnbridge.com</a></p>
<p>Wayne Citrin is Chief Technology Officer at JNBridge, the leading provider of Java and .NET interoperability tools. Citrin co-founded the company in 2001 and has served as the chief architect of its flagship product, JNBridgePro. He has been involved in Java and .NET interop issues since .NET's earliest days and is an expert on interoperability issues regarding connecting the two development platforms. Previously, he was a leading researcher in programming languages and compilers at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Prior to this position, he was a researcher at IBM's lab in Z&uuml;rich, Switzerland. Citrin holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in Computer Science. He has presented at several leading conferences including, JavaOne, Microsoft TechEd and TechReady. In addition, his work and research has been published in numerous academic and trade journals.<!--more--></p>
<p>What: Enterprise architectures based exclusively on Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) technology have long relied on Java Message Service (JMS) as the communications "glue" that holds together the disparate components. But, as other non-JEE technologies like .NET are added to the mix, how can these new components communicate with the existing infrastructure? This session will discuss how JMS can continue to be used as a messaging infrastructure even when components are based on platforms other than JEE. Citrin will lead participants with a brief discussion of JMS fundamentals, followed by an explanation on the use of JMS over Web services, and of various cross-platform approaches using native JMS wire protocols.
