MyPublicInfo Offers Free Identity Management Services in Microsoft Money

Market Wire, July, 2006

MyPublicInfo, a leading provider of identity management solutions, announced that MyPublicInfo's Public Information Profile (PIP), a cutting-edge personal information management service, will be available for free to users of Microsoft Money 2007 Premium and Microsoft Money Home & Business.

"Microsoft Money gives our customers full insight into their finances," says Anne Quaranta, Senior Project Manager for Microsoft Money. "We are excited to complement our software with a detailed identity management tool from MyPublicInfo. With Microsoft Money, our customers know what's in their financial records, and with the PIP, what can impact their access to credit."

Microsoft Money helps individuals and small businesses stay on top of their day-to-day finances and quickly track and understand spending, manage bills, generate easy-to-read reports, and manage their budget. Microsoft Money 2007 Premium also offers valuable tax, credit and savings resources. Customers purchasing the product are able to take advantage of MyPublicInfo's Family Plan to receive one free PIP following the purchase of one regularly priced PIP -- two PIPs for the price of one -- a $79.95 value. Customers purchasing Microsoft Money 2007 Home & Business are able to take advantage of MyPublicInfo's Home & Business Plan to receive ten free PIPs following the purchase of ten regularly priced PIPs -- a $799.50 value.

The Public Information Profile (PIP) helps consumers in two main areas, allowing them to view public records that are connected to their name and what information is accessible to others when performing a broad background check. The PIP also allows consumers to spot possible cases of identity theft, including impersonation of identity to buy or rent a house, receive a business license, or other illegal activity. This information is virtually impossible to obtain by individual consumers, as they would need to compile data from more than 5,000 sources. Records that the PIP provides include:

--  Records from top tier data providers
--  Federal, state and county official government records
--  Financial records, including bankruptcies, liens and judgments
--  Property ownership records, including past transactions
--  Government-issued licenses
--  Law enforcement records, including felony and misdemeanor convictions,
    attachments and seizures
--  Records detailing the financial relationship between an individual and
    other entities
    

In addition, MyPublicInfo has developed a "super secure" infrastructure ensuring the confidentiality of the records it provides. Highly sensitive PIP reports can only be accessed if the client can prove his or her identity by passing a rigorous test.

"We're thrilled about offering PIPs with Microsoft Money," says Pat Dane, Chief Revenue Officer of MyPublicInfo. "Just like consumers manage their finances, it's crucial they manage their personal information. The PIP will help them avoid financial, employment and legal problems. Microsoft Money 2007 and the Public Information Profile make for a very empowering management system for consumers."

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt. In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
