Actian Corporation and Pervasive Software Unite to Take Action on Big Data

Powerful Portfolio Enables Organizations to Connect, Analyze and Act on Data at Scale

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Actian Corp. (“Actian”), a leader in next-generation big data management, today announced that it has completed the transaction to buy Pervasive Software Inc. (NAS: PVSW) , a global leader in cloud-based and on-premises data innovation. The combined organization delivers an unprecedented portfolio of innovative, highly scalable, elastic and performant products that drive positive business outcomes in the Age of Data.

“Every moment, people, businesses and machines generate explosive volumes and varieties of data leveraging their existing networks and, more increasingly, the cloud. Companies that embrace this data as their most strategic asset will thrive, while those that don’t lose their competitive advantage,” said Steve Shine, chief executive officer of Actian. “Big data can and will impact every industry as organisations struggle to take action on their data due to legacy technology too rigid or expensive to scale. Actian’s innovations make it easy for organisations large and small to connect, analyse and act on their fast-changing and fast-growing diverse data assets throughout the entire data lifecycle.”

“This is a powerful merger as the technologies of the two companies are industry leading and clearly very complementary,” said Robin Bloor, chief analyst and co-founder, The Bloor Group. “This is particularly the case in the area of highly parallelized and scale-up, scale-out data integration and database. In my view, the combination of these technologies will provide Actian with a performance capability for BI and Data Analytics which no other company can currently equal.”

“We have irrevocably passed from the Age of Software to the Age of Data, in which organizations need to adopt contemporary architectures to master data ubiquity, on premises and in the cloud,” said Mike Hoskins, chief technology officer of Actian. “Every organization wants to make faster, more accurate and better decisions. In a world of staggeringly huge and constant data flows, innovators can drive better decision making than has ever been possible – based not only on the past and present, but on predictions of future events.”

Actian is a leader in helping companies analyze big data in industries ranging from retail, ecommerce, enterprise, healthcare, manufacturing, finance and social media. Visit Actian.com/Connect-Analyze-Act to

Shopping Addiction Is Real — and It's Not Just Women

Shopping addiction is in the national spotlight this week after “Friday Night Lights” author Buzz Bissinger revealed in an article for GQ that he had spent $638,412 on designer clothes in three years.

Some people are skeptical about the reality of over-spending addictions, but they are very real, and can ruin a person’s finances, relationships, and life.

We got in touch with Terrence Shulman, the founder and director of The Shulman Center in Detroit, which treats compulsive theft, shopping, and hoarding, to find out more about the addiction.

Here’s what he had to say about “shopaholism.” Answers have been edited for clarity.

BUSINESS INSIDER: Is there a certain type of person who is inclined to become a shopaholic?

TERRENCE SHULMAN: I would say we need more research on that. But it affects men and women roughly equally. It also affects young people, because they’re getting access to credit cards at an earlier age. And kids want expensive gadgets: They want a new phone every year or a new video game every month. We also know it affects people who are well-to-do, are gainfully employed, and have a decent income just the same as people who are barely scraping by. So it really cuts across all categories.

BI: How do shopaholics behave, and does the addiction affect men and women differently?

TS: There are different patterns. They may shop for themselves, or for other people to gain love or approval. Some people have to get bargains, while others need a high-end item to feel good, and still others need something that directly improves their self-image or their image in the eyes of others — for instance, clothing. There are also people who buy and return items who we call return-aholics or bulimic shoppers.

Shopping addictions affect women a little more than men, but men are quickly catching up. Men don’t tend to over-shop, but over-spend: On a car, on a vacation, on sporting events, or on a concert. They typically go for larger purchases. Women can certainly do that too, but I’ve found women are a little more cautious about large purchases, but tend to do more continual shopping than men.

BI: How many people suffer from shopping addictions?

TS: There was a landmark study done at Stanford in 2006 where they estimated about 6 percent of the population, and I think that’s conservative. Then a few years later in 2008, the University of Virginia did a study that estimated it was closer to 9 percent. I would say about 10 percent of people have a compulsive buying or shopping problem.

BI: What causes people to over-shop?

TS: Two of the main things I see are over-indulgence and deprivation, either material or emotional. …read more

How This Couple Bounced Back From $160,000 of Credit Debt in 3 Years

March 28, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

By Business Insider

By Mandi Woodruff

For most people, tackling the average $8,000 we carry in credit card debt seems like an unbearable task.What if you had 20 times as much to worry about?

UK residents Maria Nedeva, 50, and her husband, John, 64, found themselves facing nearly $160,000 worth of debt just three years ago.

“By Autumn 2009, I was getting a funny feeling that things are not right,” Maria told Business Insider. “When John told me [how bad things were], I thought, ‘My life has just ended and my existence has begun.'”

What’s interesting is that they found themselves in that much debt to begin with. Maria was an associate professor at the time and John worked as a statistician for a software consultancy firm. And even though John’s firm went under as a result of the financial crisis, Maria, who blogs about their debt journey at The Money Principle, admitted their money woes had begun long before.

Business Insider: Other than the financial crisis, how did a university professor and a statistician wind up with $157,000 of credit debt?

Maria Nedeva: We were rather irresponsible when it came to managing our money, but this is a simplification. I suppose, money was never in my world view. An example of this is that four years ago, I didn’t know how much I earn (this is not hard, I get a pay slip every month) or how much a pint of milk costs. Although I have always earned well, money ran through my life like water on really dry soil — without leaving a restorative trace. I suppose my husband didn’t care to manage the family finances either (we have always had joint finances). His attitude was, ‘We’ll earn a lot and it will all be fine.’

BI: How did you balance a household budget that was so clearly out of whack?

MN: For the first time in years we looked at our house insurance and changed it. We changed our life insurance. Competition is a great thing – being 15 years older than when we first got it we managed to cut the premium by half between us. We started cooking (for me it was a steep learning curve) and meal planning. We had to accept that we are ‘cooks’ not ‘chefs’ and buy products for recipes. This reduced waste considerably (we hardly throw away any food) and our food bill halved. I stopped spending $30 per day just to go to work (coffee, lunch and driving/parking).

BI: You also made the decision to take out a debt consolidation loan with your bank. What was that process like?

MN: We had been with the bank for decades and are very good customers … Hence, our bank was very good to us in return and after a discussion with our personal bank manager we had a £80,000 ($126,000) consolidation loan …read more

Actuate and Bernard Marr’s Advanced Performance Institute Release Global Survey that Reveals Keys to Getting the Most from Business Performance Management

Comprehensive Study Commemorates the 20
^th Anniversary of the Balanced Scorecard

SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Actuate Corporation (NAS: BIRT) , The BIRT Company^™– delivering more insights to more people than all BI companies combined – today announcedthe results of a worldwide study conducted in conjunction with the Advanced Performance Institute (API) to commemorate the 20^th anniversary of the Balanced Scorecard. Measuring and Managing Performance – A Global Study garnered responses from over 3,000 companies across the globe, making it one of the largest and most comprehensive surveys ever conducted in the field of performance management. API Founder and CEO Bernard Marr analyzed the results in his newly released white paper20 Years of Measuring and Managing Business Performance: From KPIs and Dashboards to Performance Analytics and Big Data.

“While the results of the survey reveal that most companies measure, monitor and analyze their performance, not all companies generate the level of benefits expected from their efforts,” Marr said. “By analyzing the survey results we were able to determine the primary factors that contribute to the level of satisfaction organizations feel with their Business Performance Management (BPM) efforts. Three primary factors were found to influence the maturity of a company’s initiative, which can range from those that have little or no data to work with, to companies that are able to use comprehensive performance data to make true operational and strategic decisions.”

Three Driving Influences

While the survey revealed seven factors that contribute to BPM maturity, three main driving influences permeated the results and affected to varying degrees the initiatives of all respondents. The companies that were able to succeed in these three areas were more likely to report a successful BPM initiative:

Proper impetus or leadership to guide the initiative. For performance management efforts to be truly valuable, buy-in must seep through all levels of an organization and improve strategic decision making throughout. Despite that, many companies maintain a Big Brother approach to performance management: one-third of respondents were motivated to report only …read more

How This Family of 4 Lives Well on Just $14,000 a Year

By Business Insider

Living off of 14,000 a year - budgeting success

Filed under: Family Money, Budgeting, Coupons

In the years since the recession, the median household income in the U.S. has dropped to just over $50,000, while fixed costs like health care, higher education, and housing have only soared. Now imagine trying to support a family of four on a fraction of that income.

It’s a reality that stay-at-home wife and mother of two Danielle Wagasky has lived for the last four years. And, perhaps a little surprisingly, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Wagasky, 28, lives with her her husband, Jason, 31, and their two young children in a three-bedroom family home in Las Vegas, Nevada. While Jason, a member of the U.S. Army, completes his undergraduate studies, the family’s only source of income is the $14,000 annual cost of living allowance he receives under the G.I. Bill.

Despite all odds, the family has barely any credit debt, no car payment, and no mortgage speak of.

Wagasky has been sharing her journey to living meaningfully and frugally on her blog, Blissful and Domestic, since 2009.

She was kind enough to chat with BI and tell us how she makes it work.
