I am finding it increasingly difficult to know what the readership of this blog does as a role. Given the common thread is how technology supports business, in the past the readership would have been CIOs in large enterprises looking at matching the business requirements. The term technology would have been synonymous with computerisation of process delivered by Information Technology. Today the term technology means … well anything that is now on the market. This ties into an increasing recognition that individuals want their own devices, particularly when it comes to smart phones and tablets. I have been struck by a series of product announcements that allow enterprises access to, and control of, specific content on the employee’s personal device

Expectations were high for the end of quarter results of India’s number two outsourcer, Infosys (NASDAQ:INFY). As the first of its peers to release quarterly results, the outsourcing company is responsible for setting the tone for India’s outsourcing sector. It was therefore a big disappointment when Infosys announced a 2.6% drop in profit for the period of April to June 2010. Prior to the release, forecasts were positive and the market was optimistic about the company’s results. According to a Reuters (NYSE:TRI) poll of brokerages, the company’s profit was expected to be at around 15.56 billion rupees or $330 million, while a report by Edelweiss Securities , estimated that the company will be, “surpassing its revenue guidance of a 2.6-3.4% growth, quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), with ease.” On the 13th of July, however, the release of Infosys’ quarter results turned out to be a disappointing event, as the company posted a 2.6% drop in profit to 14.9 billion rupees or $318 million. The company’s CEO, S. Gopalakrishnan however, was quoted saying that,”while the global economic environment remains uncertain, we continue to see greater demand for services from our clients.” A number of economic and operational difficulties however, have affected the company’s performance, bringing its results down to less than stellar. Hiring Problems Infosys CEO S. Gopalakrishnan , has said that they are seeing “greater demand for services from our clients.” The supply of quality talent however, continues to dwindle, with the continued economic recovery and increasing competition. Just a few days ago, on the 16th of June, outsourcing firms including Tata Consultancy Services (NSE:TCS), Wipro (NYSE:WIT), Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH) and Infosys, all lodged a complaint against fellow outsourcer, Accenture (NYSE:ACN) , due to violation of campus recruitment norms in India.

Emirates Telecommunications Corp may buy 26 percent of Reliance Communications Ltd., a stake estimated to be worth $3 billion, as early as mid-August, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the talks. Both sides are considering merging the Indian unit of Etisalat, as the Abu Dhabi-based phone carrier is known, with Reliance because of domestic rules that bar companies from owning more than 10 percent of two telecommunications companies, the newspaper said. Reliance and Etisalat declined to comment on any specific negotiations, according to the report. A merger wouldn’t be simple because takeover rules in India discourage such a combination, the newspaper cited HSBC Holdings Plc analyst Rajiv Sharma as saying.

At a time when global markets such as the US and Europe are still crawling out of economic slowdown, private equity (PE) investments in India are expected to gain momentum and hit the previous peak of 2007. Venture capital (VC) and PE fund flows in the country are expected to rebound to $17 billion for the calendar year 2010, according to a survey by consulting firm Bain & Company. Of this, a little less than half has already been invested in the first half of the year and the remaining $8-9 billion is expected to be infused by December. “Action is heating up in the PE space and a host of limited partners from the global markets, especially the US, are now looking at India as an investment destination,” said Sri Rajan, partner and head of the PE practice in India at Bain & Company. Key sectors that are likely to witness significant action over the next few months in the country include infrastructure, energy and healthcare, he said.

Takeovers are set to get costlier with a Sebi panel favouring making it mandatory for the acquirer to make an offer for up to 100 per cent stake in any listed company. As of now, an open offer for a minimum of 20 per cent in the target company is required to be made by any entity that has purchased 15 per cent equity, either from the promoters or from the open market. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has set up a Takeover Regulatory Advisory Committee, with former Securities Appellate Tribunal presiding officer C Achuthan as chairman. The Committee, which prepared the report in consultation with the various stakeholders, is believed to have recommended making suitable changes in the existing takeover regulations.

If you are addicted to Facebook, you may be in for a big shock when you go to work in the corporate world. Based on a survey just last year by Robert Half Technology , over half of today’s companies block social networks completely, while another 19 percent only permit it “for business purposes.” The blocking percentages are still going up, rather than down. Beyond wasted productivity and network bandwidth, here are ten additional reasons given by employers in a recent Network World article for why they continue to place these restrictions: Data leaks – social networks are all about easy sharing, and employees go too far. Social networks have become a great vector for Trojans like Zeus and URLZone. Keep out social networking worms, like Koobface and other botnets. Phishing bait – Facebook was a lure into FBAction and fbstarter.com Shortened links (bit.ly and tinyurl) obfuscate sources, masking malware installs. Twitter accounts are being used as a command and control center for botnets. Advanced persistence threats (APT) – opens the door to a new class of intelligent application cracking tools. Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) – technique used to spread networking worms. Impersonation – Twitter accounts hacked to spread false info and malware

i don’t think i can find a phrase more appropriate than this to encapsulate our week. perhaps its all these little things that help the work week pass faster. mon and i have come up with names for the weekdays: miserable mondays (for obvious reasons) terrible tuesdays (the week has still barely started) weird wednesdays (cos its midweek and you’re not sure exactly how to feel) terrific thursdays (friday is drawing near) fantabulous fridays (the weekend is here!) anyway, that aside, terrible tuesday was spent getting super smashed at KPO, totally not funny. white wine on an empty stomach is really not a good idea. but i do feel as though we are slowly integrating into this whole working class thing, i reckon it’s possible that i could potentially get used to it. darren and i was saying that when we start working for real, we’d probably end up alcoholics =/ those in white monny and jojo couldn’t really take that many pictures considering how we all got kind of drunk. thursday was spent at KPO as well, this time, girls only!!

Accounting is about control; the more robust an accounting system a business has the better control it ensures. However, accounting has undergone radical changes over the years.  Automation has made the basic tasks easier but in technical terms the complexity has increased considerably. As accounting forms the foundation for other critical business areas like tax accounting, management accounting and reporting it is imperative that proper accounting systems are in place.  This is regardless of the size of the business. Smaller businesses these days have the option of outsourcing their bookkeeping and accounting services to professional accountancy firms.  Basically,  good accounting is about good bookkeeping, reconciliation, and reporting.

WASHINGTON: The US Senate has passed the Wall Street Reform Bill that will make financial institutions more accountable and make them pay for any repeat of a 2008-like credit crisis by liquidating their assets. The President, Mr Barack Obama, is expected to sign the bill, passed by the Senate by a 60-39 vote, into a law next week. The House of Representatives had already passed the bill earlier this week. The bill now goes to the White House for Barack Obama to sign in into law. This will create new protections for millions of consumers. The passage of the bill was immediately welcomed by the Obama Administration and lawmakers. “The financial reform legislation approved by the Congress represents a welcome and far-reaching step toward preventing a replay of the recent financial crisis,” said Ben S Bernanke, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
