 It’s been a while since the last blog post.  Sorry about that.

What do you get when you combine a great software-based voice platform and expertise in the hospitality industry?  A single interface device in your hotel room where you can make phone calls, video calls, order room service, turn up the heat, and yes……order more towels!!!

 CLOVERIS is an all in one software that connects to your hotel room’s HVAC control, property management system, reservations system and phone system to provide a new experience for the guest.  Since I’m a visual person, check out the video demo we did at the HiTec conference.

First, AT&T announces that they will change their data plans.  Then Apple announces the new iPhone 4.  New headaches for a CFO who may already manage different rate plans and pricing for wired services and now has to consider the implications of employees wanting to bring the new iPhone into the enterprise with a new data plan.  So what’s a CFO to do?

NEC recently introduced a new TEM (telecom expense management) solution that helps manage the business processes of IT and finance departments when they acquire, provision and support communication assets, such as equipment and services.  With NEC’s Managed Telecom Expense Management, powered by AnchorPoint, we deliver a high return on investment (ROI) through process automation, active management and reporting through Managed TEM as part of NEC’s Managed and Lifecycle Services offerings.

Perhaps you've heard of the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), NEC's widely deployed system used to match fingerprints with criminals to help solve crimes. Today we announced the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office in Georgia is using NEC's AFIS Integra-ID to help solve crimes faster and get
 criminals off the street.  

As you'll see demonstrated in the Cherokee County press release, Integra-ID tends to help law enforcement agencies solve previously cold cases by giving forensics teams greater resources and matching ability to connect criminals with the evidence they leave behind.  Even more detail on Cherokee County is available in the online case study.

Forensics professionals in 30 countries around the globe rely on NEC's AFIS technology to aid in the apprehension and conviction of criminals.  In a little more than a month, July 11-17, 2010, NEC will be showcasing this technology at the International Association for Identification 2010 Conference in Spokane, Wash.   It should be an informative show, and a good opportunity to see the technology in action.
