freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “MADRID, Spain - Feb. 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Petrobras is the world's most sustainable oil/gas company according to the 5th annual oil/gas ranking by the sustainability research and rating firm Management & Excellence (M&E, Madrid & Sao Paulo). The M&E ranking, marketed with Oil&Gas Journal Online, measures oil/gas companies' compliance with 387 accepted international standards in sustainability.”

Companies with Largest Reserves Have Poorest Governance

MADRID, Spain - Feb. 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Petrobras is the world's most sustainable oil/gas company according to the 5th annual oil/gas ranking by the sustainability research and rating firm Management & Excellence (M&E, Madrid & Sao Paulo).

M&EThe M&E ranking, marketed with Oil&Gas Journal Online, measures oil/gas companies' compliance with 387 accepted international standards in sustainability, corporate governance, social responsibility, ethics and transparency. The guidelines are taken from institutions such as SEC, Sarbanes-Oxley, national laws, Dow Jones Sustainability Index, OECD, industry benchmarks, GRI, ILO, ISO, EITI, reserves accounting, Global Compact, Millennium Goals, and others. The annual study is considered the most detailed benchmark on sustainability in the industry.

Petrobras, once known for sinking oil rigs and strikes, was re-elected to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, an indicator where StatoilHydro holds the industry record of 79 points. Petrobras' Board consists of all independent directors, except the CEO. The Brazilian company's "Zero Hunger Program" entered into 18,000 partnerships helping nearly 11 million people over the past four years. BP rebounded following the 2005 explosion in its Texas City complex, oil spills in Alaska and the resignation of its former CEO Lord Browne, investing $1.7 billion in its U.S. operations for "integrity and reliability."

Companies with the poorest governance and sustainability practices generally controlled the largest oil/gas reserves. The three state corporations PDVSA, Saudi Aramco and Abu Dhabi NOC in part scored zero in governance but together control 430 billion barrels of oil, compared with ConocoPhilips' 9,4 billion or ExxonMobil's 22.7 billion.

Most Sustainable Oil Companies 2008 (compliance scores)
1. Petrobras		92.25%

2. Total		91.21%

New Report Examines Pharmaceutical Sales Force Effectiveness

Author: Eularis
Dateline: Tue, 20 Nov 2007

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “LONDON, U.K. and NEW YORK, N.Y. - Nov. 20 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- With the ever-increasing pressure to ensure maximum return on investment, sales force effectiveness is becoming a high priority in the global pharmaceutical industry. Reports have shown that while sales forces represent the largest spend in pharma sales and marketing, return on this investment has declined sharply in recent years.”

Eularis Challenges Pharma Industry: Are You Measuring the Wrong Things?

NEW YORK, N.Y. and LONDON, U.K. - Nov. 20 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- With the ever-increasing pressure to ensure maximum return on investment, sales force effectiveness is becoming a high priority in the global pharmaceutical industry. Reports have shown that while sales forces represent the largest spend in pharma sales and marketing, return on this investment has declined sharply in recent years. To address this alarming issue, Eularis announces today the availability of its new report, "Pharmaceutical Sales Force Effectiveness Metrics: Are You Measuring the Wrong Things?"

Caption: EularisWritten for CEOs, marketing executives and sales executives, this comprehensive research project examines market data and case studies and reports the startling discovery that the very metrics currently being used to assess sales force effectiveness are in fact the ones causing its decline. Focusing on the pharmaceutical industries in the United States, Europe and Japan, the report dissects these current metrics and their limitations, and then offers updated metrics that can help solve the declining effectiveness crisis.

"A pharmaceutical organization's spending on sales force is second only to research and development. Better metrics must be used to measure both the effectiveness and financial impact of this very significant budget element because the current measurements used by most top pharma today actually contribute to the decline in effectiveness of the field force," commented the author of the report, Dr. Andree K. Bates, president of Eularis.

Traditional pharmaceutical organizations are rigorously tracking and managing sales activity, but still falling short. Data emerging from the research concludes that current metrics are more focused on efficiencies rather than effectiveness - and do so to their own detriment.

The report also identifies core issues at play in SFE, such as:
* Why sales call frequency metrics are deeply flawed
* What impact the marketing message has on the customer during the detail
* Which SFE issues vary by region
* How to target the right audiences
* How to incorporate appropriate influencing behaviors into SFE programs

The report discusses appropriate tactics to solve these problems, and demonstrates implementation methods and issues. Sales force effectiveness is a difficult concept to measure, but doing so can push pharmaceutical companies past today's hurdles and into increased productivity and sales.

"Implementing new sales force effectiveness metrics that actually improve effectiveness, and navigating the tricky paths of assessment, changing behaviors, and incorporating eDetailing and CRM systems can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be if you're measuring the right things. Cutting-edge pharmaceutical marketers are turning to appropriate analytics to play an important role in ensuring change is on the right path," closed Bates.

Bates has gained wide recognition within the international pharmaceutical industry for her expertise in marketing return analysis. In addition to this and other must-have reports for pharmaceutical industry marketers, she has authored many articles in peer-reviewed journals and several chapters in books on pharmaceutical analytics.

BOONTON, N.J. - Nov. 15 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The US managed services market will grow at a compounded rate of 10 percent over the next five years as growth continues across all segments of the managed services value chain, says a new market study from Insight Research. The report notes that in today's sophisticated communications environment, full time managed service professionals are in the best position to assist enterprises to realize the full potential of IP networking. IP's vast array of capabilities greatly increases management complexity.

Caption: Insight ResearchThe study notes that revenues associated with the managed services market will grow from $28.6 billion in 2007 to nearly $47 billion in 2012.

Insight's newly-released market analysis report, "Managed Services in an IP World: New Opportunities for Wireless and Wired Networks 2007 - 2012," contends that carriers, service providers, equipment vendors, systems integrators, and specialist companies will all participate in the growth opportunities provided by this market.

The study differentiates among four managed service segments: managed data center services, managed infrastructure, managed LAN services, and managed WAN services. In addition to the revenue forecasts for these market segments, forecasts are provided for various market subdivisions, including managed IP VPNs, managed security services, managed VoIP, LAN extensions, WLAN extensions, managed hosting and storage, and a number of other significant areas within the managed services domain.

The report also provides Insight's survey of outsourced managed LAN, managed WAN, disaster recovery and storage management services by vertical industry.

"Because they can offer around-the-clock monitoring of network performance, improved application performance, and predictable service levels, managed service providers are in a unique position to expand their business in an effort to address the growth of this market," says Robert Rosenberg, Insight's president.

"The most significant driver may well be the growth in the number of business locations or endpoints that connect to each other across a WAN. When you compare the growth of establishments to the growth of managed network connections, the increasing need for managed services is unmistakable."

BOONTON, N.J. - Nov. 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Global telecommunications industry services revenue will reach $1.7 trillion by the close of 2008, with continued strong growth in wireless leading the way, says a new market analysis report from The Insight Research Corporation. According to the new industry market study, overall telecommunications services revenues are expected to grow at a compounded rate of nearly 10.3 percent over the next few years, reaching $2.7 trillion by 2013.

Caption: Insight ResearchWireless makes the strongest showing across all sectors while wire line follows a distant second. Nearly all of the growth in both sectors is expected to occur in broadband services, with wireless broadband service revenues expected to grow at a compounded rate of more than 70 percent over the forecast period, while wire line broadband services grow at under 10 percent over the same forecast horizon.

"The 2008 Industry Review, an Anthology of Market Facts and Forecasts" states that in the growth environment set off by the rush to meet subscriber demand for broadband services, service providers are trying to create viable business models on the fly in order to deliver new types of IP-based services, including Residential Video Telephony, Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC), File Sharing/Downloading Services, Audio/Video Streaming Services, Location-Based Services, and Presence-Based Services.

The study highlights rapidly growing industry segments such as VoIP, WiFi and WiMax, FMC, IMS, IPTV and streaming media, as well as technological innovations such as grid computing and DWDM and WDM in fiber optics. The report also looks at changes in telecommunications buying patterns among enterprises that purchase managed services as well as other communications services. The study highlights the use of outsourcing by carriers as a major factor in the return to profitability.

"The telecommunications industry is growing, and broadband networking that will be deployed to facilitate new service offers is leading the way," says Insight president Robert Rosenberg.

Subscribers to Telecommunication Services Continues Growing in 2007, Says Insight Research

Author: Insight Research Corp
Dateline: Thu, 01 Nov 2007

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “BOONTON, N.J. - Nov. 1 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- While industry consolidation has wrought major changes in the U.S. telecommunications industry service provider segments, the wireless carriers stand out as clear winners, though all segments continue to add new subscribers, says a new report from Insight Research. The wireless companies will be adding new subscribers at a rate nearly double the overall telecommunications subscriber growth rate.”

BOONTON, N.J. - Nov. 1 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- While industry consolidation has wrought major changes in the U.S. telecommunications industry service provider segments, the wireless carriers stand out as clear winners, though all segments continue to add new subscribers, says a new report from Insight Research. The wireless companies will be adding new subscribers at a rate nearly double the overall telecommunications subscriber growth rate.

Caption: Insight ResearchCable companies are also expected to be big winners as they add telephone subscribers at a rate much faster than ILECs will add TV customers to their networks. Moreover, the largest telephone companies are expected to continue seeing the gradual loss of subscribers, as wireless calling and cable telephone offers whittle away at their customer base.

According to Insight's latest report, "Telecommunications Service Providers Subscriber Growth, 2007-2012," U.S. network operators are expected to add subscribers at a compounded rate of 3.7 percent between 2007 and 2012. The report notes that the increase in wireless subscribers is being driven by the rapid adoption of 3G, which came hard on the heels of the explosive growth in "voice only" subscribers through 2005.

3G also facilitated wireless substitution, which cut into the dominant carriers' subscriber base. The cable companies, which long enjoyed a first mover advantage in deploying video services and Internet access, are facing increasing competition in their core markets. The number of cable TV subscribers among the top players has declined by about one percent since December 2004, and battle between the cable companies and the telcos over the triple play promises to further cut into their subscriber base.

"The number of subscribers signing up for telecommunications services continues to grow, and at a rate comparable to growth of the GDP, which means the growth is sustainable," says Insight Research president Robert Rosenberg. "However, the growth in subscribers we are seeing is by no means evenly divided. There are real winners and losers among the segments, though the wireless and cable providers show the best prospects for continuing to add subscribers over time," concluded Rosenberg.

The study presents the subscriber base for the wireless carriers, CLECs, dominant phone companies, regional phone companies, and cable company segments and forecasts subscriber growth through 2012.

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “BOONTON, N.J. - Oct. 30 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The top 11 cable operators continue to grab share of the residential phone markets, a move that will cost the incumbent phone companies nearly eight billion dollars over the next five years, says a new market research report from Insight Research Corp.”

BOONTON, N.J. - Oct. 30 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The top 11 cable operators continue to grab share of the residential phone markets, a move that will cost the incumbent phone companies nearly eight billion dollars over the next five years, says a new market research report from Insight Research Corp. The incumbent phone companies are expected to lose more than three million residential phone lines to cable competitors by the close of 2007 alone, and nearly 17 million residential phone lines over the next five years, according to the new research study.

Caption: insightAccording to Insight's newly-released market analysis report, Residential Telephony, 2007-2012, competition between phone companies and cable operators has accelerated in the last year, entering a highly competitive phase. While the telephone service offered by cable companies is relatively new to the market, a large number of customers have already been enticed by the cost savings and highly attractive bundles of video, voice and data service.

"The top cable operators are adding new phone line customers at a very rapid rate because they are pricing their introductory bundles very aggressively," says Robert Rosenberg, President of Insight. "Insight Research overlaid the footprints of the 11 largest cable operators onto the operating areas of the 12 largest phone companies, analyzed the bundles offered by the cable companies, and estimated the line and revenue losses to the phone companies. The resulting data did not paint a pretty picture for the phone companies," Rosenberg concludes.

The phone companies detailed in this study include Alaska Communications Systems (ACS), AT&T (with BellSouth), CenturyTel, Cincinnati Bell, Citizens, Embarq, Hawaiian Telecom, Iowa Telecomm Services, Qwest, TDS, Verizon, and Windstream. The cable companies detailed in this study include Bright House, CableOne, Cablevision, Charter, Comcast, Cox, GCI, Insight, Mediacom, Suddenlink, and Time Warner.

Service Providers Cut Application Connectivity CAPEX / OPEX Using Application Session Controllers, says Insight Research White Paper

Author: Insight Research Corporation
Dateline: Mon, 15 Oct 2007

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “BOONTON, N.J. - Oct. 15 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Service Providers continue to look for new cost effective means for efficient and effective application-to-network connectivity. As a result, hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent by Service Providers to connect or migrate existing applications as well as build new applications to retain customers and enhance meaningful ARPU across their networks. According to a new white paper by Insight Research, Application Session Controllers (ASCs) are an important new approach.”

BOONTON, N.J. - Oct. 15 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Service Providers continue to look for new cost effective means for efficient and effective application-to-network connectivity. As a result, hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent by Service Providers to connect or migrate existing applications as well as build new applications to retain customers and enhance meaningful ARPU across their networks. According to a new white paper by Insight Research, Application Session Controllers (ASCs) are an important new approach to providing efficient and cost-effective application connectivity, application/session call control and the ability to mediate application mash-ups in a mixed networking environment.

Caption: Insight white paperAccording to the study "Deploying Cost-Effective Network Elements for Next-Generation Networks: The Case for Application Session Controllers," Insight sees ASCs playing a significant role in six high growth application areas that will make up a $66 billion market by 2010. The six areas are: residential video telephony, fixed mobile convergence, file exchange, streaming service, location-based services, and presence-based services.

"As a purpose-built network element that combines call control, signaling, switching, and media capabilities coupled with multi-application support for both new and legacy applications, the ASC is an important tool for service providers." says Robert Rosenberg, President of Insight Research.

"It lowers costs, preserves existing investments, increases ARPU, and provides application transparency for evolving networks, including IMS."

Service Providers can realize on average a 40% savings in both capital and operational expenditures by leveraging the Application Session Controller functionality compared to re-purposing general purpose network elements for application connectivity. Once within the network, an ASC provides on going efficiencies and time to market advantages for legacy and IMS applications. While at the same time, an ASC can drive ARPU by enabling service convergence and application brokering.

A free copy of the white paper is available online at www.insight-corp.com/reports/ASC.asp.

Insight Research, founded in 1990, is a highly respected source for telecommunications market research and strategic analysis.

Consumers Adopting Dual Mode Phones for Fixed Mobile Convergence While Enterprises Lag Behind, says Insight Research

Author: Insight Research Corporation
Dateline: Tue, 02 Oct 2007

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “BOONTON, N.J. - Oct. 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Led by consumer demand, fixed mobile convergence (FMC) is taking off around the world, even as businesses watch from the sidelines, says a new study from Insight Research. According to the new market research report, over the next five years FMC will generate more than $35 billion in revenue for service providers and hardware vendors.”



A R T I C L E:

BOONTON, N.J. - Oct. 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Led by consumer demand, fixed mobile convergence (FMC) is taking off around the world, even as businesses watch from the sidelines, says a new study from Insight Research. According to the new market research report, over the next five years FMC will generate more than $35 billion in revenue for service providers and hardware vendors. FMC service allows the same handset to access telecommunications services through both fixed and cellular networks.

The handset, which can toggle between fixed and mobile calling, can also leverage WiFi hotspots, voice over IP (VoIP) technology, and voice over wireless local area networks (WLANs).

According to the study, Fixed Mobile Convergence: Single Phone Solutions for Wireline and Wireless, 2007 - 2012, consumer demand is driving sales. Insight's study found a much slower adoption rate by enterprises because there was little economic incentive for either wireline service providers or cellular providers to promote FMC. It would mean revenue-generating calls would be moved off of their respective networks and onto the enterprise's WLAN.

"FMC represents another telecommunications area where the US is trailing developments in Europe and Asia," says Insight president Robert Rosenberg. "Europe was first to adopt FMC solutions, and it is forecasted to continue investing in the technology. In the US, however, the largest incumbents are replacing declining access line revenue with revenue derived from the sale of both wireless and broadband services, so there is little incentive at present to push FMC to consumers," Rosenberg concluded.

BOONTON, N.J. - Aug. 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The worldwide market for peer-to-peer and file sharing services is expected to generate $28 billion in revenue for carriers and ISPs over the next four years. An ever increasing number of cellular and wireline service providers are offering legitimate file-sharing and downloading services geared to the requirements of their end-users.

(c) Send2PressAccording to a new market research study from The Insight Research Corporation, peer-to-peer and file sharing services are widely available on fixed line and mobile networks. Carrier revenue from usage of peer-to-peer and file sharing services in Asia is nearly double North American revenue.

Insight Research's market analysis study, entitled "Peer to Peer & File-Sharing Services Market 2007-2011," notes that peer-to-peer and file sharing services are part of a worldwide push by carriers to create new IP-enabled services for consumers and business users. The study notes that consumers of mobile and fixed line telecommunications services are adopting peer-to-peer and file sharing services along with other IP-enabled services such as video telephony, fixed-mobile convergence, presence, streaming, and location based services.

"Peer-to-peer and file sharing services have moved into the main stream and are now well beyond the early days when a few of the early service providers ended up in litigation," says Robert Rosenberg, president of Insight Research.

"Peering and file sharing have now been embraced by fixed line and wireless operators, many of the intellectual property issues that led to legal fights have been resolved, and media and applications such as ring tones, games, music and large file videos are taking off. We see this market continuing to grow as consumers increasing rely on the utility of these applications," Rosenberg concluded.

Author: Insight Research Corporation
Dateline: Thu, 02 Aug 2007

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “BOONTON, N.J. - Aug. 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The $40 billion private line services market is posting solid growth for the second year in a row, says a market analysis study from Insight Research. Private lines are point-to-point circuits leased by enterprises from telecommunications carriers in order to link enterprise sites to each other and to the Internet. Private lines are also used by cellular carriers to link their towers to land line networks.”

BOONTON, N.J. - Aug. 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The $40 billion private line services market is posting solid growth for the second year in a row, says a market analysis study from Insight Research. Private lines are point-to-point circuits leased by enterprises from telecommunications carriers in order to link enterprise sites to each other and to the Internet. Private lines are also used by cellular carriers to link their towers to land line networks.

(c) Send2PressAccording to Insight's report, "Private Line and Wavelength Services 2007-2012," continued growth in the segment will come as a result of the strong demand for private lines used to backhaul 3G wireless services from cell towers to switching centers, increased demand for local bandwidth needed to cache IPTV video services, and as a consequence of the industry consolidations that created price stability in the marketplace.

In the study, Insight reports that from 2007 to 2012 the overall private line market will grow at a compound annual rate of 3.8 percent, reaching $48 billion in revenue by 2012.

"In the US, over 90 percent of wireless backhaul is accomplished using leased private lines," says Insight president Robert Rosenberg. "and as 3G wireless services increase, so too will the need to backhaul ever greater amounts of traffic over private lines. Fortunately new copper bonding technologies are appearing that seem ready to take up the slack in those cell tower locations where the economics will not permit fiber installations, so the growth in the private line segment is going to continue for several more years," Rosenberg concluded.

"Private Line and Wavelength Services 2007-2012" evaluates the total private line market and segments it by local and long distance private line service revenue, wholesale and retail private line revenue, revenue by type of carrier, revenue by T1, T3 or OC-n circuit class, as well as the number of T1, T3, and OC-n private lines sold.
