AccessData Offers to Acquire Guidance Software at $4.50 a Share
FOXBusiness
On Friday October 31st, AccessData Corporation received a reply from Guidance Software informing us that it was rejecting our offer. We are extremely disappointed in this decision and do not believe it represents the best interest of Guidance Software’s shareholders. In addition, to the exceptional premium we were offering, we believe the synergies between the two companies would have dramatically increased the profitability of both companies and accelerated revenue growth. In today’s uniquely uncertain environment, we believe our offer would have been viewed very favorably by the vast majority of Guidance Software shareholders and believe that by rejecting it, without even granting us a meeting, the board of directors has fallen well short of fulfilling its fiduciary obligation to the company’s shareholder base. We sincerely hope that the Board of Directors will reconsider its position on this matter, but in the event that it doesn’t, AccessData Corporation has decided to continue forward and pursue all options available to consummate this transaction.
HP Software Executive Dixon Fiske Joins Nimsoft as VP Americas
MarketWatch
The
fact we can attract someone with the caliber, experience and
knowledge that Dixon possesses from HP is a further testament of our
appeal and ability to deliver real value to customers in the
performance and availability monitoring market. ”
Starting in 2002, Fiske’s success with Mercury Interactive’s Americas
corporate sales division marked him out for a leadership position
following HP’s acquisition of Mercury in 2006. He assumed the position
of vice president of HP Software Direct Americas, an organization
which drives nearly half of HP’s Americas software revenue. Leading
that $660 million sales organization, Fiske consistently demonstrated
the ability to successfully focus and motivate sales teams to
over-deliver on revenue goals. “During my time at HP, we were increasingly aware of the impact
Nimsoft was making in the performance and availability monitoring
market. It was clear that prospects were becoming more and more
focused on the value monitoring solutions could deliver and they
didn’t want lengthy, complex and expensive implementation cycles. When we came up against Nimsoft in new business opportunities it
became clear that Nimsoft has an extremely compelling business and
technology proposition that appeals to a broad spectrum of companies.

Slick software takes video broadcasts to the masses
Houston Chronicle, United States
Many cell phones equipped with cameras can capture video. But now, if you have the right kind of phone, you can transmit video live. I’ve been playing for a while with some free software that lets you stream video to a Web site, which then saves it. It’s like having both a live broadcast followed by reruns on demand. Called Qik, it’s available at www. com for many kinds of smart phones.
