BILLERICA, Mass., Aug. 11 /CRWENewswire/ — Vertica Systems, the leading provider of next-generation software platforms for real-time analytics, today announced the appointment of Scott Thompson, president of PayPal, to its board of directors.

Thompson, who currently oversees the leading global online payment service, brings unprecedented experience to Vertica. Prior to becoming president, Thompson served as PayPal’s senior vice president and chief technology officer where he oversaw information technology, product development and architecture. His proven track record for driving growth and success in the Web 2.0 space will prove invaluable to the Vertica team as it continues to build market share and expand its worldwide organization.

“Vertica dramatically improves the value companies can gain from one of their most critical yet often untapped assets – data. And Vertica’s capabilities within the Web and cloud space are unparalleled,” said Scott Thompson, president of PayPal. “Vertica’s architecture allows companies to capture vast amounts of data and offer real-time insight and action at the most granular and personalized levels to build differentiated products and services in a wide range of markets.”

Thompson’s appointment follows another prominent addition to Vertica’s Board. Cheng Wu, a former Cisco vice president and general manager and proven serial entrepreneur in the cloud and virtualization space, was welcomed in June. Vertica’s recent expansion into major markets in the U.S. and abroad, as well as increased focus on new vertical industries, has resulted in unprecedented growth and momentum.

“Vertica continues to lead the charge for next-generation analytics platforms,” said Christopher Lynch, president and CEO of Vertica. “Our customer base relies on us to provide the unparalleled flexibility, scalability and value derived from Vertica’s real-time analytics infrastructure. Scott’s exceptional Web market knowledge and technology perspective, combined with his broad business experience, will be of enormous benefit to Vertica. Attracting someone of Scott’s stature is an honor and further validates Vertica’s market importance. He will play a leading role in working closely with the management team to identify and capitalize on the extensive growth opportunities available to us.”

ST. LOUIS, July 30 CRWENewswire- Financial Blog, ChristianPF.com released an article that looks at personal finance iPhone apps and how they can help you manage your finances better. The article looks at money management tools for the iPhone - some well known, and some less common.

You like saving money. Okay, maybe on things other than your high-dollar iPhone. Well, now that you have one, wouldn’t you say it’s time to put it to good use and improve your finances? Here are five iPhone apps that are sure to put you on the right track.

1. Ask Dave Ramsey

That’s right! Dave just released his first iPhone application. The app taps Ramsey’s vast database of questions and answers from his radio show. Learn about all kinds of topics such as insurance, mortgages, taxes, bankruptcy, budgeting, and so much more! Dave’s app is currently the #1 free finance app in the App Store. The great thing about this app is that it gives you a concise, text version of the audio clips – perfect for learning during coffee breaks.

2. Mint.com

Perhaps one of the most robust, free financial applications in the App Store. As discussed in this review of Mint.com, Mint now allows you to track your income for budgeting purposes. With Mint, you can attach many of your online financial accounts to get a bird’s-eye view of your finances. I love the budgeting progress bars, which show you how much you’ve spent in relation to where you are at in the month.

3. PayPal.com

Everyone knows and loves PayPal. But did you know you can send and receive money on your iPhone with the PayPal app? If you’re an online entrepreneur or an eBay enthusiast, PayPal for the iPhone is for you. One hidden but nice feature about this app is that you can set up payment reminders – never forget a payment again!
4. ING Direct

I’m a big fan of the Orange Savings Account, and now fans can manage their ING Direct accounts easily on their iPhone! You can use bill pay in order to take care of your payments on the go. Highly recommended!

5. Balance

For those of you who are looking to replace your balance register, try this free app! It’s simple and straightforward. Easily enter all your accounts, and process transactions as you make them. This is a great alternative to pen and paper.
How To Make Them Work For You

It can be tempting to use finance apps as an alternative to cash. Instead, try taking a hybrid approach – use cash and debit cards along with electronic tracking of your accounts. The envelope system is great for people on a tight budget, as it is visual and therefore difficult to hand over cash without thinking about how much you have left to spend.

So there you have it – five iPhone apps to get your finances on track! Perhaps you use a different platform – maybe Android or Windows Mobile.
