On Friday 6th August the new look Core Equity Services website was revealed.

Originally launching in March 2009, Core Equity Services represents the consolidation and history of some of Australia’s pioneers in straight-through equities trading and broking services.

Since that time, Core Equity is a leading provider of wholesale broking solutions to some of Australia’s largest financial institutions, offering a range of products and services.

The new look and feel is aimed to showcase the entire product range that sits under the Core Equity umbrella in a simple and easy to navigate website.

Just occasionally, clichés are perfectly apt.
And this is one of those occasions. In a merger that really is a case of “ the whole being more than the sum of its parts,” two of Australia’s most experienced web and print software companies have become a single, powerful entity.

On July 1, Formstar Print Technologies merged with Webqem, pooling resources and talent to create a formidable team of over 40 highly skilled individuals.

Having operated independently over the past decade, the pairing is a natural fit. Both companies share similar processes for improved business processes, core skills and the same development tools platforms.

Adobe today announced significant updates to Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro.

The new version of Acrobat Connect Pro includes a number of really cool new features including Universal Voice, Webcast, Secure Desktop Sharing, and PDF Integration.

Universal Voice enables Connect Pro customers to integrate their meetings with any audio conferencing provider.  Telephone audio can be recorded with a web meeting and broadcast over VOIP to enable participants to listen to the audio without dialing in.

Connect Pro Webcast will allow for very large events with up to 80,000 participants attending high-impact sessions that can incorporate rich media, video, slides, and interactive Q&A.

Secure Desktop Sharing introduces more granular control over the Compliance and Control settings in Connect Pro.  New administrative tools enable organizations to create a white list of applications that can be screen-shared.

In addition to the features listed above, Adobe has also added PDF integration, a new add-in for Lotus Notes and VMWare support.

For more information, there is a tutorial on the new features available on connectusers.com. You can also view the press release from Adobe.
