SAN MATEO, Calif. and MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Dec. 11, 2007 – SPS Commerce today announced that it has become a member of NetSuite’s® SuiteFlex SM Developer Program. By integrating NetSuite’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) ERP solution and outsourced SaaS Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) services from SPS Commerce, suppliers can seamlessly communicate order, inventory and shipment information from NetSuite through SPS Commerce to their trading and supply chain partners such as third-party logistics providers (3PLs) and sourcing companies.

As a member of NetSuite’s program, SPS Commerce plans to extend NetSuite’s One System Architecture with new capabilities to meet the needs of suppliers requiring EDI connections to the SPS Commerce network of more than 1,200 retailers and grocers. The SuiteFlex Development platform allows third-party applications to integrate transaction data – orders, inventory, invoices and shipments – with their applications, and enable customers and third-party developers to build new workflows and applications that can look and operate as if NetSuite’s own developers wrote them.

NetSuite holds critical business data of a company – orders, invoices, website transactions, shipping records, time tracking, and payroll data – the applications that are built on it using SuiteFlex can provide key tools for managing the company’s business. SPS Commerce’s Adaptor for NetSuite, created via SuiteFlex, is an excellent example of this that can benefit other companies. With the SPS Commerce Adapter for NetSuite, orders are created automatically in NetSuite when a trading partner sends a purchase order via EDI through the SPS Commerce service. When the invoice for the trading partner is created in NetSuite, it is integrated with the company’s partners via EDI.

“As leaders in SaaS business-to-business solutions, SPS’ and NetSuite’s customers know the added reliability, lower cost of ownership and expertise of the SaaS delivery model,” said David Novak, Executive Vice President of Business Development at SPS Commerce. “With this integrated solution, suppliers can provide critical business data found within an organization’s ERP solution to its supply chain partners via a proven EDI service. More importantly, these organizations can reap the benefits of SaaS offerings and focus on their core competencies, not ERP or EDI.”

About SuiteFlex and NetSuite’s SuiteFlex Developer Program
SuiteFlex is an application development platform that enables the creation of third-party vertical applications within NetSuite, as well as business process customization for any end-user company. SuiteFlex includes several industry technology advances and innovations including additions to SuiteScript SM – which allows for on-demand programming using only a web browser on a device with Internet access. As a part of SuiteScript, NetSuite introduced Suitelets SM and SuiteScript UI Objects, allowing customers and third-party developers to build new workflows and applications that can look and operate as if NetSuite’s own developers wrote them. In addition, SuiteFlex introduces a new concept for the Software as a Service market — “Service as Software,” SuiteBundler SM — to deliver new integrated vertical solutions by packaging their Suitelets and other extensions with NetSuite’s core ERP/CRM/Ecommerce application. SuiteBundler enables solution providers to embed their industry-best practices, knowledge and applications — traditionally delivered as one-off services — into the actual NetSuite application for verticals in a repeatable fashion.

NetSuite’s SuiteFlex Developer Program was established to help solution providers achieve success in vertical markets by bringing them the following:
• Template development account with extensive SuiteFlex customization, development and integration capabilities and access to the entire NetSuite suite of applications. Developers can create and test their customizations, applications and integrations in this account and use it as a template for a repeatable solution they can deploy to multiple customers.
• Online product and technical documentation and online product training.
• Phone and email technical support.
• Participation in the SuiteFlex developer forum.
• Eligibility to join NetSuite’s Referral Program.
• Ability to apply for inclusion in the SuiteFlex Solutions directory.

Minneapolis, MN, May 31, 2006 — http://www.testedandproven.com/ – DDL, a leading package, product and environmental testing laboratory, is expanding into a second environmental testing laboratory.

The facility, in Eden Prairie, MN, will act as an overflow as the company expands, allowing the widely recognized thought leaders in the field of package, product and environmental package testing to take on more projects and respond to an increase in demand.

“The new environmental testing laboratory will allow us to take on 25% more environmental testing projects per year,” said John Hart, CEO of DDL Inc. “This also frees up more space in our main testing lab, allowing us to increase the number of other DDL package, product and material testing projects.”

Environmental testing involves exposing a package or product to controlled temperatures and humidity in order to reproduce the conditions that the package/product is expected to survive in its transportation, storage and operating life. After exposure, the package or product is assessed for damage.

“Environmental testing is a very important part of package validation,” said Patrick Nolan, COO of DDL. “DDL uses environmental testing services to determine shelf life and expiration dates for medical devices and other critical applications.”

For more information on the types of environmental testing services performed at DDL, visit http://www.testedandproven.com/environmental-testing-services.html

About DDL
DDL offers expert package testing, product testing and material testing services including shock testing, vibration testing, tensile testing, leak testing and validation. DDL package testing clients find value through its growing suite of PackServices: PackAdvice, a zero-cost package testing consulting service, and PackReview, a DDL approved certification to demonstrate compliance with ISO 11607 (clause 7). DDL Testing Services maintains full service testing labs in Minnesota and California. http://www.testedandproven.com

DDL recognizes that many manufacturers and packaging professionals are unable to keep up-to-date with changing compliance requirements and the implications for the testing of their package or product. DDL has re-designed its website to better serve the industry with educational information that will keep them on top of compliance.

“The package testing industry is continually changing,” said Patrick Nolan, COO of DDL, “DDL will be able to keep industry professionals up-to-date on the latest industry standards and testing requirements via advanced features now available on its website.”

The new DDL website includes the following features:
•    On-demand webinars
•    Industry standards search capability
•    Articles download
•    PackReview startup kit

DDL is currently running a series of three webinars on the forthcoming ISO 11607 revisions. These revisions will impact compliance requirements for package validation and the distribution of medical devices.

DDL also offers a free PackReview startup kit to manufacturers looking to validate their package in compliance with ISO 11607 (clause 7).

“Manufacturers understand that they need to comply with industry standards, but the finer details can often be confusing,” said John Hart, CEO of DDL. “DDL’s PackReview startup kit is a concise, clear instruction manual on what manufacturers need to do to comply with ISO 11607 (clause 7).”

Magnum Technologies’ ADVANTAGE Business Service Management Software Aligns IT Departments with Business Objectives. Offers Business Service Discovery, Service Level Management, ITIL Compliance Reporting and Multi-Layer Correlation which helps to prioritize IT activities based on the impact to the business, and true integration with third party management tools.

MINNEAPOLIS – April 13, 2006 – www.magnum-tech.com – Magnum Technologies’ Business Service Management Software bridges the gap between the IT Department and the business and in doing so delivers the Holy Grail of IT Service Management to its customers.

Jean-Pierre Garbani, Forrester Research, Vice President of Computing Infrastructures and Security group states that, “Aligning IT with business objectives and showing the value of IT to the business is often seen as the Holy Grail by many CIO’s.”

Service Level Management is a key discipline of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) which provides businesses with a customizable framework of best practices to achieve quality service and overcome difficulties associated with the growth of IT systems.

“The ability to connect the IT department to the business and create an increase in IT productivity while decreasing cost is what senior level executives demand,” says Mike Ducatelli, executive vice president, Magnum Technologies. “Magnum Technologies’ BSM offering delivers that exact connection and also allows for efficient and streamlined ITIL adoption.”

Magnum Technologies, in a newly released whitepaper entitled “Leveraging Magnum Technologies’ ADVANTAGE ® Software to Achieve Your Service Level Management and ITIL Initiatives” identifies the following CIO demands:

• A better way to predict where potential IT problems may arise
• Tools that automate routine IT management tasks
• Systems that evaluate how IT performance affects business operations
• Turn-key, “out of the box” service level management that can be deployed easily and accelerate the time-to-value

Currently available management platforms and point products have fallen short in meeting enterprises’ SLM and ITIL initiative requirements. They often require considerable time and staff skills to deploy and integrate these tools, and they still do not provide an end-to-end view of the enterprise operation at the infrastructure, application and business unit levels.

Magnum Technologies ADVANTAGE Business Service Management software overcomes these obstacles and is differentiated by the following key abilities:

• Eliminates time spent identifying and tracking IT components thanks to its Automated Business Service Discovery feature for dependency mapping of all IT assets that support a line of business
• Measures IT effectiveness and efficiency with Service-Level Management and ITIL Compliance Reporting
• Prioritizes IT activities based on business value with Multi-Layer Correlation for IT/Business Impact Management
• Improves the business’ ability to deliver value through Third-Party Management Software Integration

Systems Operators can deliver the Holy Grail of Service Level Management to their organizations, when they request a copy of “Leveraging Magnum Technologies’ ADVANTAGE ® Software to Achieve Your Service Level Management and ITIL Initiatives”.

H.M. Cragg Co. provides companies with smart, cost-effective strategies to maintain power during the upcoming storm season via battery maintenance, surge protection and Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS).

Power outages due to the electrical spikes and surges that result from lightening storms can lead to significant financial losses for businesses. Specifically, they can cause any of the following systems to go down:

• computers – productivity and revenue is lost when computers crash unexpectedly
• phones – customer service stops and orders are lost when phones are dead
• point of sale – when a company can’t process a sale, revenue is directly impacted
• database – when prospect information is corrupted or lost and can’t be accessed, the sales cycle can be delayed

“Businesses often neglect to take the proper precautions to safe-guard themselves from losing productivity due to power loss,” said Paul Heggestad, President of H.M. Cragg Co. “H.M. Cragg Co. helps business owners pro-actively protect their sensitive and critical equipment before, during and after storms with smart, cost-effective strategies and products.”

As a result, H.M. Cragg Co. is encouraging businesses to take steps to prepare for power outages with its “Power Up” program. The “Power Up” program from H.M. Cragg Co. empowers business owners with 6 effective strategies including:

• How to protect business equipment from electrical spikes and surges
• How to ensure your current backup batteries are healthy
• How to identify when you need an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS)

Odden will outline how the integration of online public relations tactics with blog marketing and search engine optimization can deliver a distinct advantage to marketers who desire to build high brand awareness and increased sales online.

Traditional public relations initiatives can improve results significantly by leveraging online exposure opportunities. For example, many pitching efforts are lacking impact because they don’t take into account the fact that press releases are documents that can get indexed and ranked by search engines. Press releases that are optimized effectively can improve media coverage and also assist search engine rankings.

Business blogs can be very effective tools for communicating with prospects, clients and journalists. Blogs are also inherently search engine friendly and when properly optimized, can provide a significant boost to a web site’s search engine rankings.

“Companies can gain a competitive marketing advantage by integrating search engine optimization with tactics such as press releases and blog marketing,” said Lee Odden. “The marketing synergy created by integrating SEO, blogs and press release optimization provides a tremendous advantage over traditional PR by itself.”

Lee is joined on the panel by David McInnis, founder and CEO of PRWeb, an industry leading news wire service, Robin Liss, Founder and President of Camcorderinfo.com and Lawrence Coburn, President of RateItAll, Inc.
