Toon Boom and The SPA Studios Sign Technology Collaboration Agreement to Push the Limits of Animation, Design and Concept Art
MONTREAL, Nov. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Toon Boom Animation announced today a technology collaboration agreement with The SPA Studios for their hybrid animated feature film currently in development and slated for theatrical release in 2019. Klaus is the latest animated feature film project by Sergio Pablos, co-creator of Despicable Me. Klaus is an animated comedy set at Christmas time and will be a heartfelt family movie for all ages.
Toon Boom will work with The SPA Studios to integrate their flagship product Toon Boom Harmony™. Harmony will give the production the visually beautiful imagery required for Klaus. Toon Boom will work with The SPA Studios to push their pipeline to new heights by building innovative tools that will enable them to execute their story vision until final production. Harmony will be the primary animation software used for the production and The SPA Studios’ creative and technical teams will work closely with Toon Boom to create the highest quality of animation design and style.
“The trailer for Klaus is already seen as a game changer for the animation industry,” states Francisco Del Cueto, CTO at Toon Boom Animation. “We are very excited to be working with The SPA Studios to build a new generation of animation tools that will help define a new benchmark for animation quality and style.”
Klaus includes many innovative techniques including complex, interactive lighting and the use of advanced texturing capabilities.
“The studio is using a hybrid technique to create visuals; we do not see this project as simply another 2D animated film. Our goal was to find solutions to overcome the technical limitations which prevented us from achieving a traditional and classic animated style,” said Pablos, Director of The SPA Studios. “We’re just getting started, but the possibilities are very exciting. And, if your intention is to put something that feels hand-crafted on the screen, there’s no shorter path than starting from a hand-crafted medium.”
Pablos will be at CTN Expo in Burbank, California on November 21, 2015. In a featured event, Pablos will provide a sneak peek into the art and techniques used in the Klaus teaser trailer. CTN Expo brings together the top professionals from both the traditional and digital worlds of animation. Now in its seventh year, CTN is a resource for education, employment, inspiration and business opportunities for anyone in the animation industry.
About The SPA Studios
Sergio Pablos founded The SPA Studios in Madrid, Spain. The studio focuses on offering the highest quality animation for clients, such as Universal, Blue Sky, Warner and Disney. They also develop original stories for feature animation movies, such as the box office hit Despicable Me. Klaus will be the first animated feature to be directed and produced by Pablos.
About Sergio Pablos
Sergio Pablos’s career includes credits as Supervising Animator for the following Disney titles: Tarzan, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and Treasure Planet, just to name a few. Pablos’s work has led him to be nominated twice for the Annie Awards—for his character design work on Rio (Fox Pictures) and for character animation on Treasure Planet (Disney).

Center for Diagnostic Imaging Partners with Lexmark to Create National Medical Image Exchange
LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 18, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- News Facts
- Lexmark Healthcare and Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI) jointly announce the availability of a National Image Exchange that includes hundreds of healthcare delivery sites across the United States. The new service will enable participating healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) to freely and securely exchange medical images and content with one another and with organizations outside the CDI network.
- Hospitals and physician practices that refer patients to CDI for diagnostic imaging and related services will automatically receive access to the National Image Exchange through the CDI provider portal. The interoperability of healthcare content provided by this new service will allow clinicians to have faster, easier access to images and other information needed to make better-informed decisions that can improve patient care.
- CDI is one of the country's largest providers of multi-specialty outpatient imaging and reading services, with nearly 2,000 associates nationally providing more than one million services annually for hospital and physician practices across the country. CDI currently has more than two billion images stored within the Lexmark Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA).
- Historically, it has been difficult or impossible for two unrelated healthcare organizations to electronically share patient medical images unless a virtual private network (VPN) is established for this purpose. Most image-sharing between organizations is done using CDs, which take time to produce and deliver, and can become damaged or lost, adding costs and inconvenience for patients and their physicians.
- The National Image Exchange will provide an alternative, digital approach to collecting and reading medical images, offering secure Internet access from any location or device. This enhanced capability to electronically share and exchange information will better support patient transfers, reduce the need for duplicate studies and improve the patient experience.
- The technology infrastructure for the National Image Exchange will be built on the Lexmark Enterprise Medical Imaging portfolio, a bundled set of solutions that includes the Image Exchange coupled with a high-end, zero-footprint, enterprise-class universal viewer leveraging a VNA back-end for content services. Lexmark Healthcare provides an open network approach to exchanging information and supports RESTFul Web services needed by HDOs to create seamless user transitions from application to application. This approach to information sharing provides the needed "on-ramps" for seamless and secure content exchange between HDOs throughout the U.S.
- Lexmark Open Image Exchange consolidates information across the enterprise and across study types, creating a single source capable of moving information between vendor applications and PACS system proprietary formats. The integrated VNA provides options for supporting unique information-sharing workflows, including the ability to build an exchange utilizing local hospital archives maintained within current provider systems. This allows HDOs to have more control over images and eliminates the need to duplicate image archives in the cloud, making this scenario an option, not a requirement. The enterprise viewer offers the choice for users to share links rather than moving large images. This improves performance and reduces turnaround time for patient care decisions.
Supporting Quotes
"Seconds count whenever a patient is waiting to receive care," said Linda Bagley, chief information officer, CDI. "Fast, secure exchange of images between facilities is core to our mission of delivering the best care and best experience at CDI. It improves healthcare quality by allowing healthcare providers to be much more responsive with fewer delays. Lexmark Open Image Exchange offers us a comprehensive approach to interoperability with an easier path to implementation. It is a cornerstone of our strategy for supporting a growing customer base with better connectivity of healthcare content."
"Lexmark solutions are breaking down the barriers to patient data sharing and exchange," said Reynolds C. Bish, vice president, Lexmark and president, Lexmark Enterprise Software. "The desire for an interoperable, patient-centric healthcare ecosystem requires secure access to the right electronic health information by the right people at the right time, across products and organizations. Lexmark helps customers effectively manage medical images and other unstructured patient content to quickly exchange information, allowing them to enhance care and reduce delays and errors."

Proofpoint Joins Open Information Security Foundation, Reinforces Open Source Commitment
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Proofpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ:PFPT), a leading next-generation cybersecurity company, announced it has joined the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF) as a platinum member, underscoring its ongoing support for open source security initiatives. Building on its acquisition of deep threat intelligence provider, Emerging Threats, Proofpoint remains committed to enabling organizations worldwide to stay protected from today's most sophisticated targeted attacks and advanced malware.
"Cyberattacks are constantly evolving—and combating them requires engagement between government agencies, private companies, and open source communities," said Gary Steele, Proofpoint CEO. "Proofpoint has a history of making use of and contributing to open source initiatives. Our involvement in the Open Information Security Foundation is an extension of our dedication to the success of Suricata and the Emerging Threats community."
The OISF formed in 2009 to develop Suricata, an open source IDS engine that functions as an intrusion detection system, intrusion prevention system and network security monitoring solution.

More than 20,000 organizations and individuals rely on the ruleset, which is distributed daily at no cost and is known for providing one of the world's top sources for threat intelligence on major malware detection and prevention.
The Proofpoint ET Open IPS/IDS ruleset collects submissions from one of the largest and most active IDS/IPS rule-writing communities and includes never-seen-before threats. This continually updated list of rules enables monitoring engines to automatically detect and block known, advanced threats. Approximately five years ago, Emerging Threats launched what is now the Proofpoint ET Pro Ruleset, a commercial ruleset atop the open IDS ruleset and added support for the Suricata platform. The Proofpoint research team tests all rules for optimum performance and accurate detection.
"With the complexity of the threat landscape continuing to increase, the mission of the OISF is more important than ever," said Matthew Jonkman, vice president of Emerging Threats Research for Proofpoint, and OISF President.

Aderant MatterWorks Delivers Intuitive Dashboards and Mobile Access for Proactive Matter Management
ATLANTA, Nov. 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Legal software provider Aderant announced today a series of productivity-enhancing improvements to its innovative MatterWorks solution, addressing the changing needs of the legal market. Aderant MatterWorks is essential software to plan, forecast and monitor legal matters and is compatible with the top two practice management systems available today—Aderant Expert and Elite Enterprise. The new features address a number of needs highlighted in an upcoming Aderant research report and are part of an expansive upgrade of the Aderant Expert suite of legal applications for mid-sized and large law firms.
According to the soon to be released research, 64% of law firms report an increase in client demands for more transparency from their legal providers. This, coupled with the increasingly competitive legal landscape, requires law firms to have more on-demand information about their matters than ever before.
Key enhancements to the MatterWorks application have been added to increase this visibility of matter performance metrics. New advanced dashboards, now available in a tablet-friendly web interface, allow for easy remote user access from anywhere, providing firm leadership with status updates on firm projects. In addition, monitoring capabilities have been significantly enhanced to help users more quickly identify items most in need of attention, enabling improved client service.
Enriched capabilities provide clear and actionable data for law firms:- A new "My Forecasts" group provides individual users with an at-a-glance overview of their matter forecasts and budgets, efficiently highlighting significant issues.
- New financial metrics—including margin percentage, leverage, profit per partner hour and revenue per lawyer—deliver greater insight into matter profitability.
- Expanded unique health assessment protocol, which assesses items as Healthy, Monitor or At Risk, allows users to select a full range of specific metrics for assessment and assign an importance level to each metric.
- New view options for tracking matters allow users to monitor matter plan variations and schedules.
"These exciting enhancements to our innovative MatterWorks software provide clients with new mobile tools to monitor and manage their matters while on the go," commented Aderant EVP of Strategy and Product Mike Barry. "We are delivering additional metrics, more comprehensive health assessments and expanded views that highlight critical issues in an intuitive, web-based platform, promoting wider and more frequent matter monitoring. This upgraded functionality will enable clients to meaningfully advance their goal of improving matter profitability."
Other improvements include additional alternative fee arrangements, group portfolio pricing along with the addition of success/bonus fee values, an enhanced ability to search for specific matter plans, new margin percentage columns in the forecast screen and forecast locking to prevent multiple users from updating a plan at the same time.
In addition to these new MatterWorks capabilities, the latest version of Aderant Expert delivers significant improvements to time and billing capabilities (including Time Management, Found Time, On the Go Time and Paperless Billing), Expense Management functionality and much more. The upgrade is available to the current 8.0 release of Aderant Expert.About Aderant

Varonis DatAnywhere Adds Version Control, Mapped Stubs
NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRNS), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today announced several important updates to its secure enterprise file sync and share solution, DatAnywhere.
Varonis DatAnywhere extends the usability of corporate file-sharing infrastructure to enable traditional file servers and NAS devices to behave like a cloud-based service, and is available for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android clients. Varonis supports data wherever people choose to store it. Many organizations see the benefits of enabling their users to share files from anywhere on any device without moving large amounts of valuable and often sensitive data. The beta release of DatAnywhere 2.8 continues to raise the bar for this secure, efficient alternative approach to cloud-based products.
The new features:
- DatAnywhere Version Control
DatAnywhere now supports file version control. This includes creating new versions of files when they are modified or uploaded by DatAnywhere users. Previous file versions can be downloaded and synced, ensuring important data is never irretrievably lost.
- Mapped Drive Stubs
Administrators can now configure DatAnywhere Windows clients to sync stub files and folders that look and behave like the mapped drives with which end users are familiar, but are actually "stubs." These folders and files appear local – VPN access is not required, they are browsable when not connected, and files can be cached locally for offline use – but most files are stubs, or links to the actual files that remain in the data center. New files saved locally are automatically ingested and saved on the file share when network connectivity is re-established. By enabling file shares with DatAnywhere, employees work as if terabytes or even petabytes of data are stored on their laptops, while those files are safely stored on the organization's SMB shares.
Additional new features in the DatAnywhere 2.8 beta release include third-party proxy server configurations and TLS protocol support.
David Gibson, Varonis Vice President of Strategy and Market Development, said, "Varonis supports data wherever our customers choose to store it, and the cloud is certainly where a lot of customers intend to go. However, organizations with large on-premises file-sharing systems frequently tell us they plan to keep data on these reliable systems for years – especially when it's secured and managed with our other solutions, like Varonis DatAdvantage. In addition to control, our customers want more functionality, like file sync and mobile access, search and version control. In a nutshell, they want ECM, or enterprise content management features, without having to move their data into an ECM system. This is what the combination of Varonis solutions provides. With version control, DatAnywhere provides a bigger piece of that solution."
