			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>INDIANAPOLIS (May 14, 2012) &#8211; TechPoint, Indiana&#8217;s technology growth initiative, recognized the state&#8217;s high-tech success stories during its 13th annual Mira Awards gala presented by BKD CPAs &amp; Advisors at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday. BKD Managing Partner Rob Pruitt and Sproutbox Co-founder Brad Wisler served as co-hosts for the event known as &#8220;Indiana&#8217;s Technology Oscars.&#8221;</p>
<p>TechPoint&#8217;s Mira awards program is a critical function of growing entrepreneurship and advancing Indiana&#8217;s tech sector, because identifying excellence and innovation is essential to sparking more growth. More than 122 Indiana technology companies, organizations and individuals entered the Mira Awards this year, which TechPoint announced as the largest class of nominees and finalists in the program&#8217;s 13-year history.</p>
<p>ExactTarget, leading global provider of email marketing and cross-channel interactive marketing software-as-a-service solutions, received Information Technology Company of the Year honors at the Mira Awards. ExactTarget employs 1,100 people, has more than 4,700 clients, and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in March this year.</p>
<p>The judges split the IT Company of the Year award into two awards this year, recognizing IT companies with fewer than 100 employees, and creating a new category called &#8220;Emerging IT Company of the year. Eight-year-old product recommendation and personalized shopping experience software provider iGoDigital took home Emerging IT Company of the Year honors for its significant revenue and employment growth, as well as its rise to prominence in its product category.</p>
<p><strong>IVM, Inc. won the Innovation of the Year Mira Award for its vending and distribution solutions technology that allows its clients to contain costs and manage distribution of consumable supplies to their employees. IVM is the only company in the world that currently applies cutting edge technology utilizing cellular connectivity for vending distribution.</strong></p>
<p>This year, start-up company Tinderbox received the IT Startup of the Year award. Tinderbox uses technology to improve sales and revenue processes by increasing productivity and decreasing the sales cycle.</p>
<p>Sensory Technologies, a Markey&#8217;s Video Images Company won the IT Services Excellence &amp; Innovation award because of its achievements creating innovative and creative solutions to previously unsolvable problems in healthcare, security, and other complex technology applications.</p>
<p>POLARIS Laboratories LLC won the Corporate IT Excellence &amp; Innovation Mira award because of the organization&#8217;s ability to create a flexible, proprietary technology to accommodate rapidly evolving global business demands.</p>
<p>The Health Information Technology Mira went to Indiana Health Information Exchange, Inc., which is working to create a national exchange platform to facilitate the acquisition, aggregation, and analysis of clinical information as part of an effort to improve care outcomes and lower costs.</p>
<p>Raidious won the Mira award for New Media Excellence &amp; Innovation for creating the Social Media Command Center that was an integral part of an unprecedented interactive effort by the 2012 Indianapolis Host Committee for Super Bowl XLVI.</p>
<p>Two education category awards highlighted an institution and an individual who are helping to shape Indiana&#8217;s next generation of technologists and entrepreneurs. The Technology in Education Excellence &amp; Innovation &#8211; Team, Department or Program went to Courseload, the leading device, and content source­neutral aggregator and distributor of digital textbooks and course materials</p>
<p>Dr. Ali Jafari, Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI, received the Technology in Education Excellence &amp; Innovation &#8211; Individual award for his contributions to revolutionizing education through technology. Seven of Dr. Jafari&#8217;s innovations have been licensed or commercialized to date.</p>
<p>Michael Langellier, Chief Evangelist &amp; VP Business Development for MoneyDesktop &#8211; the new parent company of Langellier&#8217;s startup MyJibe &#8211; received the TechPoint Young Professional of the Year Mira Award, which recognizes an individual under 30 years old who demonstrates excellence in her or his professional tech sector position as well as contributes to the industry and society in positive ways outside of her or his career. Langellier was chosen by the TechPoint board of directors in part for his remarkable achievement of creating a technology company and leading it full-circle to an equity event after less than nine months on the market.</p>
<p>In March, the TechPoint Foundation for Youth announced Todd Whitlock, Technology, Curriculum and Testing Coordinator at North Daviess Community School Corporation in Elnora in Daviess County; and Co-founder of EdTechZone LLC won the Bridge Builder award. Whitlock was chosen for his significant and lasting contributions in transforming education by providing Indiana students with 21st Century, high-tech classroom and out-of-classroom experiences. (See &#8220;Educator and Technology Education Entrepreneur Todd Whitlock to Receive TechPoint Foundation for Youth Bridge Builder Award&#8221; from March 22, 2012.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-844" title="Web" src="http://www.ivminc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Finalist2012_White200.jpeg" alt="" width="178" height="198" />INDIANAPOLIS (March 13, 2012) &#8211; TechPoint, Indiana&#8217;s technology growth initiative, has announced the Finalists for its 13th annual Mira Awards presented by BKD CPAs &amp; Advisors. Finalists in seven different technology categories will deliver presentations and answer questions during interviews with independent judging panels later this week.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s Mira Awards finalists criss-cross the marketplace from established corporations and preeminent research institutions to fledgling startups, and from creative agencies to high-tech laboratories and emerging technologies.</p>
<p>The winner in each category will be revealed at a black-tie, &#8220;Oscars-style&#8221; award ceremony being held Saturday, May 12, at the JW Marriott Indianapolis. TechPoint Mira Awards recognize excellence and innovation through the achievement of Indiana&#8217;s outstanding technology industry performers and contributors, and focuses attention on the broader issue of the important role technology plays in Indiana&#8217;s economy.</p>
<p>&#8220;Narrowing down the field to finalists was particularly difficult for the Mira Award judges this year because we had nearly double the number of nominees in just about every category,&#8221; said Jim Jay, president and CEO of TechPoint. &#8220;This is the largest class of nominees and finalists that we have had in the 13 years that TechPoint has been conducting the Mira Awards, and I think that says a great deal about the strength and resilience of Indiana&#8217;s tech sector.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to the seven competitive Mira Award categories, three special industry recognitions &#8211; TechPoint Foundation for Youth BridgeBuilder Award, TechPoint Young Professional of the Year, and TechPoint Trailblazer in Technology Award &#8211; are selected by the TechPoint Foundation for Youth and TechPoint boards of directors respectively.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>INDIANAPOLIS (February 29, 2012) &#8211; TechPoint, Indiana&#8217;s technology growth initiative, has announced the nominees for its 13th annual Mira Awards presented by BKD CPAs &amp; Advisors. According to TechPoint President and CEO Jim Jay, the Mira Awards grew by more than 50 percent this year, besting its previous record for a total of 122 Mira Awards nominees.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-826" title="techpoint-mira-awards" src="http://www.ivminc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/techpoint-mira-awards.png" alt="" width="157" height="175" />TechPoint Mira Awards recognize excellence and innovation through the achievement of Indiana&#8217;s outstanding technology industry performers and contributors, and focuses attention on the broader issue of the important role technology plays in Indiana&#8217;s economy.</p>
<p>Independent Mira Award judges evaluate and score each submitted nomination, and the scoring determines which nominees become finalists. Finalists will be announced by March 12. Mira Award finalists will deliver presentations and answer questions in-person to one of seven panels of judges.</p>
<p>The 2012 Mira Award winners will be announced at a black-tie, &#8220;Oscars-style&#8221; award ceremony being held Saturday, May 12, at the JW Marriott Indianapolis. TechPoint will again honor past Mira Award winners and finalists attending the ceremony with a special &#8220;Winner&#8217;s Circle&#8221; VIP reception at the Gala. Visit <a href="http://www.techpoint.org/mira" target="_blank">http://www.techpoint.org/mira</a> for more information about the activities and special features of the 2012 Mira Awards Gala.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am not all that surprised by this year&#8217;s record-smashing number of nominees,&#8221; Jim Jay said. &#8220;The tech sector has been a bright spot in our economy throughout the recession, and recent national exposure for cutting edge, innovative Indiana tech firms has really energized the community. I think we&#8217;re on the threshold of another great technological growth spurt in Indiana.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to the six competitive Mira Award categories, three special industry recognitions &#8211; TechPoint Foundation for Youth BridgeBuilder Award, TechPoint Young Professional of the Year, and TechPoint Trailblazer in Technology Award &#8211; are selected by the TechPoint Foundation for Youth and TechPoint boards of directors respectively.</p>

Government officials utilize GSA Schedules as a means of procuring goods and services knowing that companies on these schedules have been qualified by the General Services Administration (GSA).

<p> IVM continues to make inroads into technology firms with the addition of Logitech to their portfolio of clients. Logitech is using IVM’s supply distribution vending machines to dispense keyboards, laptop batteries, headsets and other equipment. Instead of filling out requisition forms the employees simply swipe their employee ID badge and the machine dispenses the product.</p>
<p>Lancaster, vice president of business products for Logitech stated in a <a title="IVM Supply Distribution At Logictech" href="http://www.businessweek.com/technology/technology_at_work/archives/2011/12/at_logitech_workers_get_pc_gear_from_vending_machines.html" target="_blank">Business Week article</a> on the machines “We originally got the idea from Facebook when we were visiting their corporate offices in Silicon Valley.” IVM also provides the machines for Facebook, you can see the <a title="Supply Vending Machine Cuts Facebook Costs" href="http://www.ivminc.com/news/supply-vending-machine-cuts-facebook-costs/" target="_blank">CNN/Money story on Facebook supply vending machines here</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>IVM <a title="IVM Products" href="http://www.ivminc.com/ivm-products/" target="_blank">supply distribution systems</a> do more than just dispense IT and office supplies they are in use in many industries dispensing personal projection equipment (PPE), gloves, tools, clothing, medical supplies. IVM utilizes tool crib machines, and vending lockers for items to large to fit in their supply vending machines.</p>
<p>Forbes.com also covered the innovation that IVM provided Logitech. For more details on how IVM supply distribution vending machines are helping Logitech work smarter, watch this video. Forbes.com will play a commercial before the IVM/Logitech story runs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More and more vending machine companies are swapping out cookies and candy for granola bars and rice cakes. The changes are driven by consumer demand and regulations in the case of schools.</p>
<p>Dr. Paul Simon, director of the division of chronic disease and injury prevention at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health stated in a Los Angles Times article: &#8220;People don&#8217;t get a lot of their calories from vending machines, so the impact will be very limited,&#8221; Nonetheless, he adds, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s a move in the right direction.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schools are also moving towards healthy vending. Schools have banned sodas, restricted sales of sweetened sports drinks and revised nutritional guidelines. Some schools restrict the type of products that can be sold in the buildings, and at events.</p>
<p>Actions such as these have prompted some vending machine companies to launch healthy vending programs. You now find fruit, granola, yogurt and natural foods alongside typical vending machine snacks. Some vendors mark healthy items with stickers to highlight healthy options, others put them at eye level. Providing the healthy options does not always lead to sales. Even when machines are stocked with healthy options, such as nuts, seeds and yogurt, processed foods still sell more. But the demand for healthy alternative is growing.</p>
