Haryana to take IT kiosks to villages

The Haryana Government will take its information technology (IT) initiative to the people by setting up 1,263 IT kiosks that will handle common services.

The biggest beneficiaries of the E-Disha Ekal Seva Kendras will be the rural masses who will no longer have to travel long distances for common services.

These Common Service Centres (CSCs), 1,159 of which will be set up in the rural areas, will help governance and education, health, entertainment and other possible government and private services. The CSCs will be developed through a public-private partnership model to encourage economically sustainable models for social development.

“It will be a one-step collection centre for many services. Our target is to make the CSCs fully functional during 2007. People will be able to make payments of electricity and water bills online from home”, Dr Dalip Singh, Secretary, Public Health, had said recently at the launch of the Haryana Public Health Department website……

SAP CRM projects at risk, Gartner says

Through the end of 2008, 25% of CRM projects will be postponed or cancelled, according to Gartner.

This rate of postponement and cancellation is largely a result of a CRM skill shortage — of consultants and systems integrators in particular — the Stamford, Conn.-based research firm says in a recent report.

SAP CRM projects are more likely than projects involving other CRM vendors to run into these problems.

Demand outstrips supply for skilled, experienced SAP CRM consultants,” said Matthew Goldman, research director for Gartner. That’s thanks not only to new SAP CRM sales, but because many customers held off on deploying CRM until they finished their ERP rollout.

With this market shortage of qualified resources, how can companies with pending SAP CRM projects avoid these pitfalls?

SAP Rolls Out Initiative for Indian Retail Market

SAP Opens a Retail Center of Excellence to enable Indian retailers harness the power of technology for growth in a highly competitive market; SUN Microsystems to be the infrastructure partner for the Retail CoE

Building on its market leadership in providing business software to retailers in India and globally, SAP India announced its latest initiative for the highly competitive Indian retail market – opening of a SAP Center of Excellence (CoE) for Retail. The SAP Retail CoE would function out of SAP’s Mumbai facility.

“Today, Indian and global retailers are vying to tap the high potential Indian market and as a result, majority of retailers are facing numerous market and internal pressures that impede their ability to foster growth and improve profitability”, said Alan Sedghi, President and CEO, SAP Indian Sub-continent, inaugurating the SAP Retail CoE

Why IT’s feeling hot, hot, hot

The Information technology industry is witnessing a transformation of unbelievable magnitude. As an industry, it has become the epitome of success in India. To me, 2006 depicted 365 days of excitement, innovation and heightened activity in diverse businesses and functions of the information technology industry.

For a revolution which started in India in the late Nineties post Y2K, now, after half a decade, the Indian information technology industry has carved a niche for itself in the global marketplace and has placed India on the global map as a country synonymous with first class skills sets and extensive knowledge of science and technology.

The rise of IT education, product development, ERP, CRM, HCM, offshoring, software services or even business integration, are all a result of the evolution of IT and its use to build businesses the world over. From just an exporter of IT, India is also becoming a significant consumer of IT……

TCS focuses on e-gov to jack up revenues

Software Company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) plans to shore up revenues from government projects. TCS is looking to bag global e-governance projects and plans to set up satellite development centers across eastern Europe, Latin America and south-east Asia. Eventually, such business is expected to contribute nearly 10% to the company’s top line in three years.   

By then, TCS’ employee strength for this vertical will rise from 1,500 to 10,000 software professionals. At present, the government projects vertical accounts for nearly 3% of the company’s turnover.   

“There is a huge market for e-governance projects across the globe, especially in developing countries.

5 things B-schools don’t teach

Stepping out of B-school into the real world is like learning golf from manuals, or like teaching yourself cricket online. You have all the required theoretical inputs; a clear understanding of the rule book, the jargon and concepts; a dash of history to boot; and anecdotes and trivia as fillers.

The real world teaches you some home truths that academia does not touch upon. In our journey down the road of experience, some of them get etched as gospels

Cracked a chance to make TCS CEO to clap for me

This was in response to question answered by me in TCS IT Final Quiz at Mumbai on 16 Dec 2006.

Though this is too old story but thought lets make my personal things to be also part of my blog which states that “Ye Meri Life Hain” 

The Quiz was for school students from 8-12 Standard, the questions were to a level of Engineers. Really felt these students will be a challenge for experience people like us when they enter this corporate world.
