Fake jerseys, ball caps, t-shirts, jackets and other souvenirs are among the counterfeit merchandise and clothing confiscated by teams comprised of: ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the Indiana State Police – all in partnership with the NFL.

‘Hard goods’ seizures

Special agents from HSI and officers with CBP operated in multiple teams with the NFL and various law enforcement agencies throughout the nation to identify illegal shipments imported into the U.S., as well as stores and vendors selling counterfeit trademarked items. With three days left before Super Bowl XLVI, these teams have already seized 42,692 items of phony Super Bowl-related memorabilia along with other counterfeit items to date for a total take of more than $4.8 million – up from $3.72 million last year.

During this operation, an additional 22,570 items of counterfeit merchandise and clothing representing other sports leagues, including Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association and National Hockey League were seized by law enforcement. In total, this operation netted 65,262 counterfeit items worth $6.4 million.

“While most people are focusing on whether the Patriots or Giants will win on Sunday, we at ICE have our sights on a different type of victory: defeating the international counterfeiting rings that illegally profit off of this event, the NFL, its players and sports fans,” said ICE Director Morton. “In sports, players must abide by rules of the game, and in life, individuals must follow the laws of the land. Our message is simple: abiding by intellectual property rights laws is not optional; it’s the law.”

“The NFL is committed to protecting fans and local businesses from being victimized by counterfeiters who are looking to profit illegally off of the public’s enthusiasm for the NFL,” said NFL Vice President Danias. “We are grateful for Homeland Security Investigations’ tireless efforts in combating intellectual property theft and are pleased to be working along with them and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department on this important issue.”

Website seizures

Furthering HSI efforts to combat counterfeiting and piracy online, special agents seized a total of 307 websites. Sixteen of the sites illegally streamed live sporting telecasts over the Internet, including NFL games. Two hundred ninety-one website domain names were illegally selling and distributing counterfeit merchandise.

Additionally, Yonjo Quiroa, 28, of Comstock Park, Mich., was arrested Wednesday by special agents with HSI. He is charged with one count of criminal infringement of a copyright related to his operation of websites that illegally streamed live sporting event telecasts and pay-per-view events over the Internet. Quiroa operated nine of the 16 streaming websites that were seized, and he operated them from his home in Michigan until yesterday’s arrest.

The website seizures during Operation Fake Sweep represent the 10th phase of Operation In Our Sites, a sustained law enforcement initiative targeting counterfeiting and piracy on the Internet. The 307 websites are in the process of being seized by law enforcement, and will soon be in the custody of the federal government. Visitors to these websites will then find a seizure banner that notifies them that the domain name has been seized by federal authorities and educates them that willful copyright infringement is a federal crime.

American business is threatened by those who pirate copyrighted material and produce counterfeit trademarked goods. Criminals are attempting to steal American ideas and products and sell them over the Internet, in flea markets, in legitimate retail outlets and elsewhere. Intellectual property (IP) thieves undermine the U.S. economy and jeopardize public safety. American jobs are being lost, American innovation is being diluted – and organized criminal enterprises are profiting from their increasing involvement in IP theft.

Since the launch of Operation In Our Sites in June 2010, the HSI-led National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) has seized a total of 669 domain names.

Operation Fake Sweep continues

Operation Fake Sweep will continue this weekend at Super Bowl events and venues throughout the Indianapolis-area and around the nation.

HSI, CBP, USPIS and other law enforcement agencies partnered with the HSI-led IPR Center to combat intellectual property theft, including the illegal use of registered trademarks, trade names and copyrights of NFL Super Bowl XLVI merchandise. The IPR Center is one of the U.S. government’s key weapons in the fight against criminal counterfeiting and piracy. The IPR Center uses the expertise of its 20 member agencies to share information, develop initiatives, coordinate enforcement actions and conduct investigations related to IP theft. Through this strategic interagency partnership, the IPR Center protects the public’s health and safety, the U.S. economy and the war fighters.

The operation was spearheaded by the IPR Center in coordination with the Department of Justice’s Computer Crime & Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) and seven U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, including: District of Colorado, District of Maryland, District of Minnesota, Western District of Michigan, Southern District of New York, Southern District of Texas and Western District of Texas.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, M5 shareholders will receive approximately $84 million in cash and 9.5 million shares of ShoreTel stock, which equates to a total of $146.3 million in initial consideration based on a ShoreTel’s average stock price over the prior 30 trading days. In addition, M5 shareholders may receive additional contingent consideration of up to $13.7 million. The contingent payments are payable over the two years after closing and are based upon the achievement of certain revenue performance milestones for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

The acquisition of privately held M5 enables ShoreTel to expand its solutions into the cloud and reach a large and growing market segment of customers that are looking to deploy IP communications through a hosted model. Industry trends such as cloud computing, virtualization, data center economics and the flexibility of services-based models are driving the Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) market, which provides businesses another way to bring unified communications to their workforce.

“The acquisition of M5 positions ShoreTel as a leader in the fast-growing cloud UC market and delivers a suite of hosted telephony solutions that is unmatched in the marketplace,” said Peter Blackmore, CEO of ShoreTel. “This acquisition is a critical step in our evolution and enables the company to capitalize on trends in cloud computing and advance our enterprise communications strategy.”

M5 pioneered hosted UC in 2000 and today provides more than 2,000 companies with enterprise-grade communications on a subscription basis. This acquisition positions ShoreTel to be a leading provider in the emerging UCaaS market, enabling it to extend its technology and industry-leading customer satisfaction that are the hallmarks of its value proposition into the cloud through a hosted offering.

According to a report by Gartner¹, the IP Voice as a Service market is expected to show a 36 percent compounded annual growth rate in North America through 2015 to $2.2 billion. With this acquisition, M5 brings the specialized knowledge, infrastructure and skills to give ShoreTel rapid entry into the hosted UC market while maintaining its focus on growing its traditional premise-based UC business.

Combined Value Of ShoreTel And M5

ShoreTel is acquiring M5’s entire operation including its customer base, distribution capability, and proprietary network, and will be extending offers to substantially all of its employees.

• Following the close of the acquisition, M5 will be operated as a ShoreTel business unit and will be led by M5 CEO Dan Hoffman, who shares ShoreTel’s brilliantly simple approach to unified communications, and an intense focus on customer satisfaction. Hoffman will become president and general manager of the new business unit.
• While the engineering teams will remain separate they will cooperate and coordinate in order to leverage the innovation and best practices of both groups so that both product roadmaps will benefit from the combined capabilities.
• The current ShoreTel Champion Partner reseller program will evolve to include the ability to offer hosted services once the reseller has been qualified and certified.

“M5 is proud to be one of the leaders in the UC cloud market. We have achieved this position with a very strong management team and an excellent product offering that is the simplest in the industry,” said Dan Hoffman, CEO of M5 Networks. “Joining forces with ShoreTel enables us to reach our ambitions of scale and cement our position in the hosted UC marketplace.”

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close by the end of March 2012. Arbor Advisors acted as financial advisor to M5 Networks, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch acted as financial advisor to ShoreTel.

For almost ten years, Majitek has been at the forefront of Internet software for connected real estate. The company has deployed its Leap Plaza software in more than 60,000 residential units, in gated communities and high-rise office and apartment towers, including Jumierah Beach Residences in Dubai, the world’s largest single stage property development with 15,000 residents in 7,000 units. Majitek’s customers have reported a very high uptake of value-added services from their tenants, which has brought them benefits to top line revenue generation as well as to the bottom line from the efficiencies that come from customer self-service and automated billing.

Turn the Building Help Desk into a Customer Self-Service Portal

Let’s face it, facilities management workers are not always great at customer service. Sometimes, there are language and cultural difficulties. In many buildings, “help desk” is a chief engineer answering the phone. This is easily improved with a web portal. When customers come to the building’s web site, they have a clear process where they can report maintenance issues. This could be a simple web form, or a more useful web application where customers can track the status of their requests and property managers can see the overall daily, monthly and weekly schedule.

Use Technology to manage building operations more efficiently

More efficiency means getting more “bang for your buck” – and ideally, reducing the amount of bucks too! It’s all about doing more for less. One of the best ways to do this is to Add integrated billing. Customers can pay for rent, tenancy charges, or additional services, through their credit cards (for a small additional charge). Many owners of units are in different locations, even different states or countries. Providing this extra amenity gives them a benefit, at no extra cost, and makes collecting rents and issuing invoices easy and automatic. Delinquent tenants can be identified in reports and shut out of the system if required.

“Would you like fries with that?” – time for the upsell

Once a building has streamlined its Help Desk function, customers will be helping themselves with the self-service portal, and getting automatically billed.  What else might these tenants want to buy, while they are at the building portal? Building-related services is a no-brainer. Perhaps there are other services, related to the local area or the specific requirements of the tenant community. It is usually not hard for a building manager to speak to some tenants, if they ask around they will quickly get some ideas about what services tenants would appreciate and be willing to pay for.

Create an Online Store for Services, by partnering with Tenant Service Providers.

Most buildings are full of people who need housekeeping, window and carpet cleaning, laundry, childcare, personal training, massage, picture hanging, lightbulbs changing. There are quite likely to be service providers who already offer these services to residents in your building, or others who see the value of promoting their service to a whole building full of people. Most of these providers will be only to happy to share a fee or percentage of each sale, to get regular access to an entire building through an online portal. This is called a “hyper-local monopoly”. The operator of the property, creates the portal, picks the providers, creates the marketplace – and therefore has the monopoly.

Automate Store Operations

If a store has been set up well, it can connect the buyer and the seller (like eBay), provide the billing for the transaction and be available as a neutral third party in the event of any dispute. This is called a “clip the ticket” business model. Customers go to the Self-Service portal any time 24/7, they peruse the services on offer; when they select one, an email or text message gets sent to the service provider. A portal operator can see the status of all requests, and if they have been completed. If a customer is not satisfied, there is an entire log of every interaction they and the service provider have had via the system.

Turn an iPad into a Kiosk.

It is possible to add a Customer Self-Service kiosk to a building quickly and cheaply, with a Tablet connected to the building portal.

For example they could use an iPad, mounted inside a custom-made timber box made by a carpenter. Velcro tape can be affixed to the back of the iPad, to facilitate mounting it on a wall or vehicle dash. There are many pre-made iPad presentation solutions, like http://gravityswitch.com/ibracket/ipad-mounts/

This lets the property manager set up a kiosk in the building, where residents can access the portal at any time. If they come to report a maintenance issue to a busy receptionist, concierge, or security person, they can be directed towards the self-service kiosk to process their request.

Promote the high-tech nature of the building

Happy tenants, and tenant service providers, should be most willing to provide a quote that can be used with their name, as a testimonial. The property manager can record a brief video for YouTube, showing the kiosk and all the amenities that are available in the building. Existing tenants will be proud to show off to all their friends the new level of service they are getting. Maybe the real estate section of a local paper might be interested in doing a story.

It’s time to raise the rent!

The money from transaction fees on new value added services, and the higher rent commensurate with the higher level of amenity in the building, will in turn increase the building’s capital valuation and it’s return on investment.

An online community enhances the level of amenities enjoyed by tenants, creates new opportunities to promote the brand of the building or property manager, and by driving more traffic to the Leap Plaza store, will lead to increased revenues. An online portal becomes a lifestyle destination, an enhancement of any property with a virtual place for tenants to mingle.

Leap Community Directory

Majitek Leap Community makes it simple to connect social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter to any building Help Desk, whether that be a phone or spreadsheet system, facilities management software, or a specialized tenant work order management system such as Majitek Leap Plaza. Residents can receive Tweets and News Feed updates from the system, for example when the status of a maintenance request has been updated, or when a delivery has been scheduled.

Any page can be shared by users on Twitter or liked on Facebook, including any service in the Store Catalog. This will advertise the property and the amenities it offer to all tenants’ Twitter followers and Facebook friends, leveraging the power of social networking for free marketing for the building portal.
