Costa Mesa, CA, May 19, 2005 – http://www.testedandproven.com - DDL West, a CA-based package, product and material testing laboratory is addressing declining packaging standards in California by helping manufacturers maintain package integrity and contain costs.
California-based medical device manufacturers are increasingly struggling to maintain the integrity of their packaging while staying within budget.
“Many CA-based manufacturers are cutting down on the amount of testing they do in order to save money,” said Michael Foster, DDL West Package Engineer. “Instead of testing 30 package samples, they may only test 10, which results in a much lower confidence level.”
Packaging is not only failing integrity testing due to cost cutting, but also because many manufacturers are choosing the wrong type of packaging for their product. Since the majority of medical devices have sharp edges or points, it is vital to choose packaging that cannot be perforated.
“DDL West is educating clientele via its growing suite of complimentary PackServices,” said Foster. “DDL West offers comprehensive consultation to identify manufacturers’ individual package testing requirements and to determine the best value for their testing dollars.”

One Legal has announced the launch of its new electronic court filing (eFiling) service.
Novato, CA, May 12, 2005 – http://www.onelegal.com – One Legal, a CA-based provider of court filing and process servers, has today announced the launch of its new electronic court filing (eFiling) service.
One Legal is one of the first court filing service providers in California to implement eFiling and eService applications that help courts and attorneys streamline their communications.
“One Legal has not only identified a growing need for eServices as they relate to litigation,” said Robert DeFilippis, Executive VP and COO of One Legal, “but also for a viable competitor to provide a level playing field in the marketplace.”
Within California, One Legal has implemented the California Administration Office of Court 2nd Generation Electronic Filing Specification (2GEFS) which allows multiple vendors to serve the same court. This means individual litigators will soon have a choice as to which Electronic Filing Service Provider (EFSP) is selected to provide the eFiling service.
“Not only does One Legal stand in direct competition against LexisNexis in terms of eFiling offerings,” said DeFilippis, “but we are also able to provide traditional court filing services that LexisNexis simply cannot or will not.”

Masters Certificate in Project Management
Many Project Managers feel they are managing too many projects with too little time, too few resources and lack of executive support. As a result, projects can spin out of control and/or grind to a halt.
