Mirchi Data Management

IT outsourcing is becoming a very attractive option as a method to reduce overall cost especially in healthcare industry. When it comes to outsourcing, companies send their production, development, maintenance and support operations to another company that they contract with either locally or globally. Due to tremendous pace of outsourcing, increasingly there is concern growing that the data or the information used is vulnerable to confidentiality compromises. It means more and more IT operations are outsourced outside of the parent organization, more and more data and/or information need be accessed by external source. As per HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Refer Appendix A – Government Acts and Regulations) regulation, all the Healthcare companies must protect patient health information from unnecessary access. However, there are situations where the outside contractors or a call center have to handle or work with sensitive data. How can a company protect patient privacy and still realize the cost savings from outsourcing? The answer is MIRCHI, the data management experts. MIRCHI’s innovative data encrypting solution offers companies a robust and seamless approach, which can be integrated to any environment and, encrypt and decrypt the incoming and outgoing data. MIRCHI expects to generate over 50 million in sales within the first 5 years of business by providing a data management solution.

Home Networking

Executive Summary For the last fifty years, television has revolutionized entertainment and news industry, today Internet is revolutionizing how individuals and companies conduct commerce and communications. According to recent statistics, more than 50% of the homes in the U.S. have Personal Computers. With a market this pervasive, the potential for home networking products, typically called home personal networking products, is projected by research companies like International Data Corporation to expand significantly throughout the next three years. Considering the growth of technology, it is difficult to predict which technology will stay for long time. Any technology might stay in the field for two years to a maximum, soon the next technology or the same technology with lot of improvement will take over the earlier one. But with respect to home networking there are numerous technologies are available, which one to choose is a big question. Since most of the home users are not technically competent enough to handle any maintenance and repairs in the long run. So, it is very important to choose a technology with low maintenance at the same time provide better technology to the users with respect to flexibility, cost, security, expansion, etc. Out Cost benefit analysis, NPV and decision tree model will help a user to decide which technology will be suitable for them. It is completely users decision to choose any technology, since the priorities of each and every ones are different

From Individuals to Team 2

In order for our team to perform a ‘self diagnosis’ it was necessary to go back to the beginning of the time together and take note of observations and feelings through each phase of team development. Within each of these phases, the areas of General Observations, Team Performance, Behavior, Conflict and Communication were studied. The model of “Form, Storm, Norm, and Perform” 2 was used as a structure for team insights. Conclusions are made at the end regarding the tools the team used, the effectiveness of rotating the team leadership, and several relationship/team dynamics issues including cross-cultural issues

Future of IT in India: Strategic and Policy Issues in Software and Services Sector

This paper examines the phenomenal growth of Information Technology software and services industry in India, the challenges ahead and the policies framed. It concludes by suggesting areas of improvement. The IT software and services industry is service rather than product oriented, heavily export oriented, and is largely managed by professional and entrepreneurial managements. The industry grossed annual revenue of $8.26 billion during 2000-01. Although the industry has grown in spectacular fashion, sustaining this performance will pose number of challenges. The key challenges are, moving towards a product-oriented industry, more R&D investment and moving up the value chain. Disconnect between domestic and export markets is another major challenge. The Indian government has taken up these challenges along with the industry and formulated policies to face the challenges. In the end, the IT industry with its new business organizational form and entrepreneurship excellence is likely to thrust India into the league of developed nations

Fuel Cell: An Analysis of Technology Lifecycle

Fuel cell is one of the most promising technologies for meeting energy needs of the U.S. as well as world well into the new century. Unlike power plants that use conventional technologies, fuel cell plants that generate electricity and usable heat can be built in a wide range of sizes-from 200-kW units suitable for powering commercial buildings to 100- m W plants that can add base load capacity to utility power plants. Researchers in universities and government laboratories and commercial businesses continue to explore, develop, and improve upon the processes and technologies needed to make the fuel cell a reliable and cost-effective alternative power source. The need for renewable, environmentally friendly energy sources is becoming more important in today\u27s world. President Bush says, Fuel cells will power cars with little or no waste at all. We happen to believe that fuel cell cars are the wave of the future; that fuel cells offer incredible opportunity. Within the context of mounting pressures on existing resources and the environment, fuel cell systems can and probably will play a major role in near future. Fuel Cell technology is vying to be the next great industrial revolution: clean, decentralized energy, powered by hydrogen. Fuel cell commercialization opportunities in the U.S. market are currently focused on several sectors namely transportation, central power plants, and industrial and commercial/residential generation. These efforts are being driven by four major challenges that fuel cells are uniquely able to address: Build-up of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is leading to global warming with unpredictable but potentially catastrophic consequences. Emissions of toxic pollutants from burning fossil fuels are damaging the environment and people\u27s health World oil production will decline in the next 10-20 years and dependence on a few energy rich nations will significantly increase threatening the Energy security and price Deregulation of the electricity supply industry is changing the market. New companies are entering the market offering energy services based on distributed on-site power generation. This segment of the energy market is likely to grow rapidly and utilities will have to adapt to the opportunity and challenge. This report is going to analyze the present status of fuel cell technology development and commercialization efforts to fulfill the future energy demands. As part of our study we will look at the technology life cycle of fuel cell technology and how it\u27s going to evolve into mainstream market by identifying the present growth. We then discuss the issues involved in making this technology viable for economic and industry growth followed by the factors, which can influence the technology to get into matured stage
