(PR NEWSWIRE) MCI Launches On-Demand Application Service
MCI Launches On-Demand Application Service

- Companies Can Now Intelligently Distribute Software Over MCI's Global IP
Network to Enhance Productivity and Optimize Resources -

ASHBURN, Va., June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MCI, Inc. (MCIA.PK) today
introduced its On-Demand Application Service, a new managed solution that
helps businesses intelligently distribute software to end-users via MCI's
global IP network. Delivering on its Convergence Networking strategy, MCI's
new on-demand service addresses the growing challenge businesses face in
distributing software to multiple locations and hundreds of users. With this
first-of-its-kind service, companies can now more easily distribute software
releases and patch updates, better control software licenses and track
software usage under a pay-as-you-go model.
"As more companies leverage the power of IP, MCI is using its global IP
network in a new way to empower a host of new business capabilities," said
Nancy Gofus, MCI senior vice president, Product Management. "MCI's On-Demand
Application Service is bringing together the power of computing and networking
to deliver the benefits of convergence to our customers."
Available immediately, MCI's new fully managed offering builds on the
"software-as-a-service" concept and helps companies lower total cost of
ownership, optimize company resources and improve network utilization. With a
simple connection to MCI's IP network, companies can utilize MCI's streaming
application delivery platform to centrally deploy and locally execute
Windows-based software. As a result, On-Demand Application Service customers
can benefit from several new capabilities, including automated software
entitlement, compliance, license tracking and extensive monitoring, metering
and reporting capabilities.
Hosted at an MCI data center and centrally streamed over the company's
global IP network to user desktops, the service enables companies to support
corporate-wide usage of applications to geographically dispersed users and the
"extended" enterprise, resulting in better performance and faster download
rates than more traditional methods. MCI is utilizing the latest technology
from Endeavors Technology, a leading provider of on-demand software tools.
A key advantage of this service is its extensive license compliance and
usage tracking capabilities that provide businesses with valuable statistical
information at the desktop level. With these features, MCI customers can log
all usage and check for compliance each time an application is requested using
a Web-based interface. This provides the ability to create a software audit of
licenses in use and to assess users by specific application. Offering
customers a new and better way to plan for software purchases, MCI's On-Demand
Application Service also provides strong anti-piracy and license management
control features.
One of the first to utilize this service is MCI's internal department
responsible for software and hardware contract administration and license
compliance. Enabling the distribution of six different software application
deployments initially to 200+ users, MCI has stopped shipping CD-ROMS to
corporate users and eliminated the time and effort spent installing the
software. Now MCI can push the software simultaneously to end users quickly,
easily and securely with the ability to monitor application usage, helping the
department to become more efficient in managing software licenses and better
informed when making software-purchasing decisions. As a result, MCI is
reducing operating expenses and improving overall efficiencies through
automation.
MCI's On-Demand Application Service is easily integrated with the
company's other offerings, including its Remote Access, Wide Area Networking,
Data Center, Security and Content Delivery services, to deliver a
comprehensive communication solution to customers.
MCI's Convergence Networking strategy blends old and new, voice and data,
and public and private networking capabilities to deliver new business
advantages for its customers. As computing and telecommunications converge,
MCI is uniquely positioned to lead the market and deliver on the promise of a
more efficient and effective communications infrastructure that allows
businesses to enhance productivity and optimize resources at all levels of an
organization.

Well the Express said MCI and Microsoft.

100% correct for MCI.

Will we see 30p soon? It's that time of year for holidays...I would like some increased spending money :))

Anstey
I think the chance of 30p this summer is better than 50/50

yuff

I am bolder than you-word has it that 40p min is on the cards with a quick hike up to 50p once the news flow starts to get rolling.

Word has it that RNS is just around the corner.

Re: advfn
Just be happy that grossone still has his short open and is starting to feel uncomfortable every day the price rises.
He's lost 25% in 10 days couldn't happen to a nicer person.

Anyone any comments on todays price movement.

yuff
i would agree with you except for one small detail..............i dont believe the guy is short or long on ANYTHING, never mind tad.

Posted on another BB,by Mike Walk. I share his sentiments and comments.

All Tad's PR - as others have commented - has been rather low key. No RNS. But at the same time the share has established a trading range 15-20p.

Why has the PR been so low key? As others have suggested, the news is not really earth shattering but with the Aotodesk Press Releases it confirms:
1. Endeavours software works in the real world.
2. It is of commercial quality
3. Some large corporations are using it. (and saving money by doing so).

Those are absolute essentials as a base for any meaningful and prolonged price increase. No-one honestly could have said that about all Tadpole's products any time in the past 4 years . So real progress has been made.

We know Cartesia makes money: the present news suggests Endeavours is likely to sell in enough volume to do the same.

More importantly, Endeavours is now positioned so that if a MAJOR player uses it as a delivery method for software, others are likely to follow suit.. and very quickly because of the costs and marketing advantages it offers. Autodesk and MCI have proved it does save money.

Now the Express said MCI and Microsoft. 100% correct so far. I believe that Microsoft as a customer would provide the traction Endeavours needs and once announced the customer base will expand rapidly (traction!) and the share price will follow as a series of major contracts should follow Microsoft as sure as night follows day.

I believe the Express has some inside track and is correct. So expect a Microsoft RNS soon... That would be REAL news: not the regurgitation of MCI news that an RNS would have meant if it had been issued (the managemnet said they would not push false news.. remember?).

Then we have the interims. These are key because if Tad win loads of contracts but still will be lossmaking in the future then it's all rather pointless.
The interims should show the company :
1. has 3 to 5 million cash (by my calculations)
2. is now largely cash neutral and starting to generate cash
3. made losses in the first half due to Endeavours but should be profitable in the second and may (probably will) make a profit for the full year. It will generate cash.

These are all the ingredients for a sustained and sustainable price increase. Whilst there will be spikes, the old Tad price history of a sudden rise and then price collapse will hopefully be gone. Why? Because the fundamentals of the business: sales, cash and profits are in place. That's what is new this time. No need of rights issues to fund losses.

So I expect a very bullish interim trading statement from the Chairman: backed by sizeable contract wins in the past and to come.

So a low key PR campaign is deliberate - imo- to manage expectations so the Company can give shareholders a realistic picture of what is likely to hapen in the future. How many Tad Chairmen have been able honestly to do that in the past 5 years? None. And the shareprice - and they - have paid the price.

I think we are sitting of the edge of a breakthrough. All the ingredients are there. They are published in full. Today only a few can recognise that.

When it is patently obvious to the world and his wife what is actually happening is too late to buy: because the price will reflect it. At present it reflects a struggling software company with a loyal band of shareholders - many of whom are sceptical and scarred by the failures of the past.

So watch for a build up to the interims.

(This is all my opinion so treat it accordingly. I may be totally wrong about Microsoft and the interims. My money says I am correct:-)

Its a good post and does make a lot of sense.
Superrod
Agree entirely, this site is definitely more quality without all the children playing.
It is amazing how one poster can provide so much interest.

ML - agree with your post. What a shame some people went on and on about how the MCI announcement would shift this share to the low 30's. Hopefully the Tad management will handle expectations at a more realistic level - if only some BB contributors would do the same. Cheers.
