May 7, 2007 DAYTON, Ohio – The State of Missouri Department of Treasury, Division of Taxation, today announced that during the last 14 days of March 2007, the state recovered $2.2 million from noncompliant tax filers. The recovery was due to the state’s taxation data warehouse with global enterprise data warehouse leader Teradata, a division of NCR Government Systems LLC which is owned by NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR). Nearly $21 million has been recovered since the program began in early 2005.
“We would not have been able to collect the amount of noncompliant tax dollars without the partnership with Teradata,” said Maura Browning, Missouri Department of Revenue. “Currently we are focusing on improved compliance in the individual income tax, sales tax, employer withholding and corporate/franchise tax areas.”
The $2.2 million that the state collected during the 14-day time period is the equivalent of each taxpayer within Missouri’s State Capital, Jefferson City, paying $114.29 to the taxation department. The $21 million collected since the program’s inception is equivalent to each corporate business in Missouri paying an additional $273 in taxes.
“Missouri is an excellent example of governments and businesses embracing the idea of a centralized enterprise data warehouse,” said Steven Taylor, director, revenue and compliance team, NCR Government Systems Corporation, Teradata Division. “Federal, state and local governments are learning and implementing best practices from the private sector.”
Teradata Tax Solutions are based on the Teradata data warehouse in combination with professional services and programs. Included are Revenue Opportunity Assessment, which identifies recoverable revenue by tax type and produces accurate revenue recovery projections; Tax Discovery, which is used in the discovery of noncompliant leads; and the Case Management Component, an integrated application that manages, tracks and assists in resolution of all leads for tax compliance and revenue recovery produced with the solution. In addition, Teradata Warehouse Miner is used for ranking and scoring the leads.
Teradata has helped state governments to discover thousands of noncompliant individual and business taxpayers, optimize enforcement resources, improve access to information to better equip state case workers and better serve taxpayers as well as to reduce the effects on compliant citizens.
Teradata has partnered with The Sartell Group on this project.

If your company is like most, you’re probably stockpiling or storing excess computer technology that you’ve outgrown, replaced or acquired during a corporate consolidation. Frankly, it is highly unlikely that the equipment has any remaining market value and storing not only costs you money to warehouse the equipment, it may occupy valuable space which your organization could use for more productive purposes. Most importantly, the laws surrounding e-waste disposal can be confusing and the legal risks should not be taken lightly.
Harwood International Corporation is a computer systems and data storage solutions provider who has supplied technology solutions for over six-thousand clients in 92 countries. As a natural extension of our primary business function since being founded in 1976, we are in a unique position to provide comprehensive electronics recycling and disposal services for businesses, agencies and organizations. We are dedicated to ending or substantially reducing the waste of valuable energy resources, reusable resources and the risk of environmental contamination that currently exists with the wholesale land-filling of E-Waste. Our clients include governmental agencies, manufacturers, financial institutions, retail customers, service companies, non-profit organizations and companies who are genuinely concerned about the impact that irresponsible handling of E-Waste can have on the environment and the economy.
Our most used Disposal and Recycling Services include:

*) I.T Center Floor Sweep (Corporate Clean-Out & Disposal) Services,
*) Capital Computer Equipment Removal & Disposal,

Company Continues To Supply NASA and Other U.S. Agencies Via Major Procurement Program To Run Through 2014
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (May 31, 2007)—SGI (NASDAQ: SGIC) today announced that the company has again been named a prime contract holder for the latest U.S. Government IT purchasing program administered by NASA.
Under the seven-year NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) IV Program, every product SGI sells is available to NASA and other U.S. Government agencies at prices published on the SEWP IV schedule. The purchasing program represents total procurements that could reach as much as $5.6 billion through April of 2014. The program involves 37 Competed Prime Contract Holders offering a wide range of IT products. SGI expects to participate in this program as it has in the past as a supplier of SGI® Altix® servers, InfiniteStorage solutions and associated services. SGI is the only Contract Holder to win a Class 4, High-Performance Compute Servers, contract.
With its history of leadership in high-performance computing (HPC) and storage solutions, SGI is a longtime prime contract holder in NASA's SEWP program. Under previous SEWP contracts, SGI has delivered HPC solutions to NASA Ames Research Center, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA Kennedy Space Center, NASA's Langley Research Center, and other government facilities. SGI also provides solutions via the U.S. General Services Administration schedule.
In addition to sales via major procurement programs, SGI also supplies America's government agencies with strategic solutions that are funded for specific programs. For instance, the purchase of NASA's groundbreaking Columbia supercomputer, built from SGI® Altix® systems and SGI® InfiniteStorage solutions was deployed in fewer than 120 days. NASA's Columbia system is widely considered to be one of the most productive U.S. Government supercomputers with more than 100 million hours of use in two years. "SGI is proud to once again qualify as a prime contract holder for the NASA SEWP procurement program," said Harry Fuchigami, president, SGI Federal, Inc. "Through close collaboration with NASA and other federal agencies, SGI has enabled game-changing breakthroughs that help American researchers investigate the mysteries of space, understand the impact of climate change, discover new and safe sources of sustainable energy, and protect U.S. citizens from domestic and foreign enemies. Via SEWP and other procurement channels, we look forward to continuing that collaboration."
Also awarded a NASA SEWP contract in Category A, Computer Systems, was SGI's exclusive higher education reseller, James River Technical, Inc.
"We are pleased to be one of the contractors in partnership with SGI," said Tom Mountcastle, president, James River Technical, Inc. "Between the two companies, it is our goal to serve a wider breadth of civilian and DOD agencies with an SGI expanded range of solutions. The SEWP procurement vehicle has grown in popularity and we believe it will prove to be a valuable contract over the next seven years."
