McLean, VA (PRWEB) September 11, 2011

FNH USA, LLC is pleased to announce the limited release of its SC-1 over and under sporting competition shotgun, which is the first over and under shotgun sold by FNH USA.

?The FN SC-1 establishes a striking new standard in both performance and appearance that sets it apart from traditional over and under shotguns,? said Ken Pfau, Senior Vice President of Law Enforcement and Commercial Sales for FNH USA. ?This is a magnificent 12-gauge shotgun that is ready to go out of the box and will definitely turn some heads at the team?s upcoming matches.?

Today?s limited release is for 200 individual guns that were pre-sold prior to production. ?This first generation of the SC-1 was designed for a small number of competitors and diehard FN owners,? said Pfau. ?We were pleasantly surprised by the enormous amount of interest we received from our customers and plans for producing a second generation of the shotgun are already in the works for 2012.?

In terms of performance, the FN SC-1 features 28-inch back-bored ported barrels that are fully chrome-lined from chamber to muzzle for long life and added corrosion resistance. The barrels are equipped with Invector-Plus? stainless steel extended choke tubes with knurled bands and a blue FN USA Team collar for easy identification. The 10mm wide vented top rib has a brass mid-bead and fiber-optic front sight for quick and easy target acquisition.

In terms of appearance, the all-steel low profile receiver is embellished with a combination of brushed silver satin and bright FN USA Team blue. The blue and gray laminated wood stock is fitted with a premium sporting recoil pad, a fully adjustable comb and is checkered and textured for a sure grip under any shooting conditions.

?We are proud of Team FNH USA and are pleased with their winning track record on the national 3-gun shooting scene,? said Pfau. ?With the introduction of the SC-1, the team will now have an edge over its competition. This is the gun they?ll have in their hands when they step to the line on a flying clays layout.?

'On-Choice' Wins Big Over 'No Choice' with Halogen's Growing Customer Base

Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) June 12, 2007

Halogen Software Inc., the leading provider of Web-based employee performance and talent management software, today announced that many of its new customers are reducing vendor dependency and risk with the flexible deployment options that are available with their award-winning solution. New customers, Carhartt Inc., TU Group and Bermello Ajamil & Partners selected Halogen?s offering based on its proven flexibility and functionality, as well as the low risk ?on-choice? deployment options it provides.

While ?on-demand? solutions, which are hosted by vendors, are popular, many organizations continue to require on-premise deployments for a number of security, administrative and business reasons. Halogen provides an ?on-choice? model where customers can select the deployment as well as the licensing model that best suits their organization?s specific needs.

Carhartt, a leading manufacturer of best-in-class work wear, selected Halogen eAppraisal to replace its existing paper-based employee appraisal system. "We selected the Halogen system based on its powerful features, which met and exceeded our needs. Additionally, they were able to offer us the option of deploying on-premise so we could maintain control of our HR systems. Having a choice means we are not tied into a single deployment method and we can switch if our situation calls for it. This ultimately reduces our long?term risk." said Katrina Agusti, senior analyst with Carhartt.

Leading architectural and engineering firm Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, was looking for a standalone, flexible solution to replace their existing package. "We looked at a number of solutions, and Halogen not only had more advanced features?it was simple to use and highly configurable. Halogen has provided us with the knowledge and know-how to make configurations in a timely manner. Because of this, we are confident hosting the system on-premise. We have ?full ownership? of the system and we can make any enhancements independently as the firm continues to grow," said Jennifer Colina, compensation and HRIS manager with Bermello, Ajamil & Partners.

Halogen?s nearly 1000 customers are deployed in a variety of scenarios where they can choose a subscription or perpetual licensing model, and they can either deploy on-premise or have the solution hosted by Halogen.

"The most important thing for any new system for us was ease of use, for both administrators and users," said Iain MacAulay, director of HR with the TU Group, a group of companies that delivers unique insurance and healthcare solutions. "We reviewed the available employee performance and talent management solutions, and opted to go to with Halogen?s solution as it met all our needs and provided us with a number of deployment options, which was a real plus."

"Over 90% of our catalog features free CAD drawings that anyone can download at ReidSupply.com," says Palmer. "So now, when a company needs high-visibility work gear, they can get it where they shop for their other safety and industrial supplies."

Carrier says Reid serves thousands of customers who can benefit from the new apparel and footwear category. "We hope that companies see the benefit of outfitting their employees' safety needs right where they get their industrial products," says Carrier. "It provides one-stop shopping so customers can download CAD drawings; order desired products; and get desired apparel, workboots and other footwear all with just a few mouse clicks. This is a great time-saver for our customers."
