SkyDox Announced as a Finalist in the European Software Excellence Awards

SkyDox has been announced as a finalist in the IT Europa European Software Excellence Awards in the SaaS Enterprise Solution category.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 27, 2012 -
London – SkyDox, a leading provider of a cloud-enabled file sharing, file synchronization, and collaboration platform for cross-functional and distributed teams, has been announced as a finalist in the IT Europa European Software Excellence Awards in the SaaS Enterprise Solution category.
The European Software Excellence Awards are the only pan-European awards that recognize the crucial role that Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) play in the delivery of real world solutions, attracting entries from 18 countries. Each entry requires the ISVs to describe their nominating solution and provide a client/customer endorsement. Thirty-six companies from 14 countries were selected by an independent panel of consultants and editors.
SkyDox was recognized for its work with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which uses SkyDox’s technology to enhance its existing Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft FAST document search and sharing platform.
With a database of over 90,000 legal documents and five million website visitors a year, the ECHR was facing a daunting document management challenge before implementing SkyDox. Required under convention (Article 44 § 3) to make judgements and rulings public as soon they’re announced, the organization’s original back-end architecture lacked the functionality required to dynamically share judgment documentation with over 800 million inhabitants in 47 member states of the European Union. SkyDox built an intuitive user interface that integrated with Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft FAST, providing a document-sharing and dissemination channel, which is currently hosted on the ECHR website.
Beyond these original requirements, SkyDox was also able to further enhance the solution by providing a built-in automated document metadata tagging system, making search infinitely easier and relevant for users. Capabilities are also being built to allow users to further refine their searches by name, member state, or specific legal terms. In addition, the platform alerts users via RSS feeds when new, related documents become available.
“SkyDox was chosen after an 18-month vendor selection process which included most of the large software and SI partner organizations you would associate with an enterprise implementation. SkyDox’s approach towards our Request for Information (RFI) was refreshing in that they were very detailed in the their vision for solving our issue and have since acted like an extension of our organization, facilitating, developing, and delivering a solution that exceeds our expectations,”comments John Hunter, Head of IT from the European Court of Human Rights.

In congratulating the finalists, Alan Norman, Managing Director of IT Europa, comments, “The overall quality of entries was extremely high and demonstrated the depth of talent in the ISV community across Europe. I congratulate all the winners and wish them and all the finalists every success in the year ahead.”
Speaking after the announcement, Ali Moinuddin, SkyDox CMO, commented “We’re very pleased to have been recognized for our work with the ECHR.  With the increase in the amount of data being stored by organizations both offline and in the cloud, having the ability to successfully, search for and share files with multiple parties efficiently and securely is becoming ever more important. SkyDox addressed this issue for ECHR by allowing it to leverage its investment in SharePoint while taking full advantage of cloud-enabled technology.”

Spring Band Concerts – Don’t Let Nickel Allergy Spoil the Show!

Nickel allergies are responsible for disrupting band practice! Children and teens who unknowingly are allergic to nickel are facing itchy rashes around their mouths, chin, neck, and fingers due to nickel found in the band instruments.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 27, 2012 - As many schools prepare for Spring Concerts, many band teachers, students, and parents may be unaware of potential problems for anyone suffering with nickel allergy.

Brass, woodwinds, and string instruments may all contain nickel.  Musicians have long considered contact dermatitis to be an occupational hazard for those with allergies to metal.  Further exacerbating the problem of skin contact with nickel is the pressure, friction, and moisture related to sweat and saliva.  These conditions worsen an already existing nickel allergy causing extreme discomfort.

Symptoms of nickel allergy include red rashes, bumps on the skin, moderate to severe itching, swelling, blisters or crusting skin.  These symptoms are generally isolated to the area in contact with the metal containing nickel.

Parents and teachers should consider recommending nickel allergy testing for a guitarist with rashes on the hand, an oboist with itchy lips, or even a violinist using a metal chin rest that is causing welts on the neck area.

There are remedies, but each case should be tested by an allergist or dermatologist to make the correct diagnosis.  Following testing, it may be recommended that the band member take a break from music until the skin condition heals.  Additionally, acoustic guitarists may select from bronze, copper or nylon strings that will not cause a reaction.  Plastic mouthpieces are available for woodwind and brass instruments, and in some cases, gloves may help the allergy.

To forestall these problems, consider testing band instruments prior to buying or using them.  Minute concentrations of nickel can be detected by using Nickel Alert™, from NoNickel.com. This product can show a positive nickel result in seconds and is safe to use on any band equipment.

Should band members find there is a nickel allergy, NoNickel.com has up-to-date information on nickel allergy as well as products that will enable the allergy sufferer to live a comfortable life.  A “must-have” for those with nickel allergy is Nickel Guard™ a brush-on protective sealant that provides an effective barrier between the skin and the offending metal.  The owners of NoNickel have extensive experience with allergic contact dermatitis and guarantee their certified nickel free products to never cause an allergic reaction to nickel.

Popular products for teens and tweens include trendy nickel free belts and an extensive selection of handmade hypoallergenic earrings.  NoNickel also offers handmade nickel free leather belts for men and women, many of them with durable titanium buckles.  Living with a nickel allergy has never been easier with the products and lifestyle tips offered by NoNickel.com.
