Couple this with the fact that technology is speeding the
velocity of innovation and as a result collapsing product life
cycles. Companies can no longer rely on price, quality and

BURLINGTON, Mass., April 8, 2008 Nuance
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that it has
signed an agreement to acquire eScription, a leading provider of
computer aided medical transcription technology. By uniting the
strengths and resources of Nuance and eScription, the combined

regulations for electronic clinical documentation are driving
healthcare provider organizations to reevaluate the way they create
and manage medical reports. With an estimated $7 billion spent on
medical transcription in North America each year, the acquisition
of eScription will accelerate Nuance ability to effectively serve
the industry with advanced transcription solutions and future
innovations such as structured reporting that will facilitate

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
