NEW LOGO AND SLOGAN PROMOTING TOKYO'S CHARMS ABROAD; "TOKYO TOKYO OLD MEETS NEW" CAMPAIGN ONGOING IN SOUTH KOREA AS WELL
TOKYO, Jan 5 (Bernama) --
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is holding a campaign to promote Tokyo's charms overseas and also in a broad scope in South Korea using the logo and slogan "Tokyo Tokyo Old meets New." (Logo: http://prw.kyodonews.jp/img/201712229362-O1-cgC19i6e) The key message "Every Moment Is History. Where Will You Find Yourself Next?" has been spread in airports, buses, and various media such as magazines since January 1, 2018, as part of this promotion campaign. Also, along with promoting Tokyo's charms effectively to travelers around the world, it is spreading the image of Tokyo as a tourist destination worldwide. The message conveyed by the logo and slogan: Traditions passed on from the Edo period coexist with cutting-edge culture The "Tokyo Tokyo Old meets New" slogan raises expectations for many surprises to be sent out to the rest of the world and along with that for new values to be created in Tokyo, where traditions continuing for 400 years from the feudal Edo (Tokyo today) period and cutting-edge culture born from the never-stopping evolution meet and merge together. The design is made from brush and gothic fonts -- by repeating "Tokyo" using two different font types puts a strong emphasis on the image and identity of Tokyo where traditions and innovations are coexistent. Also, the black and blue colors used in the logo express the traditions and the sky that spreads towards the future, while the signature in the middle is based on the image of one tourist spot -- the Shibuya crossing. The Metropolitan Government inquired citizens of Tokyo about their opinion on both the logo and slogan and officially decided on them in April 2017.

COMPUWARE AND SONARSOURCE UNIFY MULTI-PLATFORM DEVOPS WITH INTEGRATED COBOL CODE COVERAGE METRICS
Mainframe-inclusive Continuous Code Quality Accelerates Digital Agility While De-Risking Generational Shift in Platform Stewardship
- To be digitally agile, enterprises must more quickly and frequently update their core mainframe systems—while also shifting stewardship of those applications from retiring COBOL veterans to IT staff with mainstream skills.
- Compuware has teamed with SonarSource to integrate accurate COBOL test coverage reporting into the automated QA processes they already use to support DevOps and Continuous Delivery.
- This new integration empowers large enterprises to dramatically accelerate mainframe application quality and throughput without incurring additional risk—even as they “mainstream” stewardship of those systems.
DETROIT, Jan 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware and SonarSource today released new integrations that empower enterprise DevOps teams to accurately track and validate code coverage of COBOL application testing—with the same ease and employing the same processes—as they do with Java and other more mainstream code.

A MAN ON A MISSION TO TRANSFORM GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS: ALVOGEN CEO AND FOUNDER, ROBERT WESSMAN, DISCUSSES THE COMPANY'S GROWTH
LONDON, Jan 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The pharmaceuticals industry is going through one of its most exciting periods yet. Generic pharmaceuticals have taken off, leading to much more innovation in the market and a wave of consolidation across the US.
Keeping on top of all these changes is Robert Wessman, CEO and founder of pharmaceuticals organisation Alvogen. His knack for spotting industry developments has seen the company soar to great heights and become a pharmaceutical leader.
Wessman recently spoke to World Finance magazine, in a three-part video series, to share his knowledge – and predictions – for the pharmaceutical market.
Though only created in 2009, Alvogen has grown substantially over the years. Wessman discusses its inception in the video series; astonishingly, the vision for Alvogen was initially sketched out on a napkin. Wessman had met investors in a New York restaurant and it was the easiest way to communicate his pharmaceutical vision. They were sold.
Today, Alvogen’s ability to thrive in one of the world’s most competitive sectors is underpinned by its fast responses to industry movements and strong team.
Later on in the video series, Wessman gives his top tips for leadership, explaining what traits are needed in order to make a business work. He also explains why it’s so important to know what you’re looking for in recruitment – so as to build the perfect team.

'THE FUTURE IS AGILE': 56% OF SCRUM PROFESSIONALS ANTICIPATE AN ORGANIZATIONWIDE AGILE TRANSFORMATION
State of Scrum 2017-2018 reports on survey of more than 2,000 Agile professionals to uncover trends in Scrum adoption, use and scaling
Denver, Colorado, Jan 4 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scrum Alliance, the largest certifying body in the Agile community, today released State of Scrum 2017-2018, an annual report that this year shows Agile transformation firmly on the horizon for organizations around the world. Approximately half of respondents – 53 percent – report current involvement in an Agile transformation, and of those not currently involved in an Agile transformation, 56 percent anticipate one in the future. “The future is Agile,” said Scrum Alliance interim CEO, Lisa W. Hershman. “It’s more exciting than surprising to see a majority of respondents either involved in or anticipating Agile transformations. It’s something that’s been in the collective subconscious of the business world for years now.” Respondents reported the primary catalyst for implementing a full-scale Agile transformation was the issue of process. As digital transformation has steadily increased demand for faster turnarounds, user-friendly platforms and flexible goals, modern business demands ever more Agile workflows. “Frameworks like Scrum make Agile accessible to departments, teams, and enterprises alike,” said Hershman. “Companies clinging to waterfall, top-down management styles don’t have the adaptability to keep up in the age of disruptive innovation.” While many respondents anticipate change to come and suggest it is necessary to reach business goals including improved satisfaction with products delivered, better time to market, better quality and improved staff morale, 57 percent say organizational design and culture is what holds Agile transformation back. More than 2,000 Scrum professionals responded to the 2017-2018 survey, representing 91 countries and 27 industries. Virtually all – 97 percent – say they will continue to use Scrum in the future.
