For the First Time in India, Cetpractice.com Launches an Exam-ECG for NEET and CET 2013 Students


Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, Saturday, April 27, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) --
-- Exam ECG, an innovative online tool modelled after the ECG, helps students to rapidly identify their weaknesses, structure last minute preparation and improve their scores.

-- Exam ECG could help students prevent up 10 -15% loss of marks in NEET, EAMCET and MT- CET, which could translate in to a better rank.

-- A few days to a month before the NEET, EAMCET and MT-CET is a crucial time for students to simulate their exam performance and take corrective action.

Students appearing for the engineering and medical entrance examinations now have a new way of finding out their weaknesses in preparation and answering technique, just take an Exam ECG. Introduced for the first time in India by Cetpractice.com, the online diagnostic tool evaluates a student's performance on several important parameters that are thought to limit the scores of even well prepared students.

To score well in NEET and CET, it's not just enough to study for long hours. Students need to constantly watch out for mark traps and intelligently structure their final revision and answering technique. With several lakh students competing for a few thousand seats, examinations like the EAMCET, NEET, MT CET are highly competitive and every mark matters in securing a good rank.

Exam ECG helps students minimize mark loss and helps to improve scores in a 3 step process. The first step evaluates students in a simulated EAMCET exam, then several sophisticated analyses are carried out and an easy to understand graphical representation of the student's performance is generated. Areas of concern and potential improvement can be clearly identified allowing the student to work on improving them before the actual exam.

A chapter wise performance analysis helps students identify the chapters where they are losing the most marks and time. This will help students structure their revision in the last few weeks before the entrance examination. Exam ECG is a much needed complement to the subject knowledge that students gain through colleges and tutorials.

"Every student should take an Exam ECG at least once before their exam" says Dr. CK Reddy, a medical graduate, who participated in the field tests of Exam ECG." The insights that an Exam ECG offers are difficult to obtain otherwise and too precious to miss" he quipped.

Students and parents can have a sneak preview and register for the Exam ECG at www.examecg.cetpractice.com.

About Exam ECG:

Exam ECG is an IT enabled application, built on the basis of over 2 years of research on the best practices for MCQ based exam preparation and answering. It uses multiple software platforms for creating a simulated examination setting, performance analysis and graphical representation. Exam ECG is subject and geography neutral, meaning that it could be used for any multiple choice type examination anywhere in the world. A slightly modified and customized version will be released for educational institutes and online education websites in May 2013. For further information about Exam ECG, please visit http://examecg.cetpractice.com.

Cetpractice.com is a leading online education portal for students appearing for engineering and medical entrance examination.

Greater Manchester Police Signs Multi-million Pound Contract with Steria to Digitise Interview Recordings


Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, Friday, April 26, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) --
In summary: Greater Manchester Police has selected Steria fora £3 million (?3.5 million) digital interview recording managed services deal. Part of a wider framework deal worth up to £13m (?15m), the contract will transform the way that interviews are being processed and accessible everywhere by officers, saving valuable time spent on management and administration in addition to considerable cost and efficiency savings.

Today Steria, a leading provider of IT-enabled business services,announces the signing of a five year contract with Greater Manchester Police for a digital interview recording managed service. The £3 million (? 3.5 million) agreement will help reduce the large quantity of physical tape recordings built up by the force and will result in considerable cost and efficiency savings. The agreement forms part of a wider framework, potentially worth up to £13 million (?15 million),from which forces around the country can buy directly.

Historically, forces have used compact cassettes to record interviews. Greater Manchester Police has around one million tape recordings currently in storage. These recordings require constant management and administration, draining valuable resources which could be better utilised elsewhere.

Under the agreement with Steria, Greater Manchester Police will have equipment installed in custody, voluntary attendance and witness interview rooms, enabling the digital recording of all evidence provided by witnesses and suspects. Portable and handheld recorders will also be provided to support the recording of statements outside of the Greater Manchester Police premises. The digital recordings will be stored in a central repository, allowing officers to access content from wherever they are based in the region. This new functionality will significantly reduce time wasted by officers who currently have to travel to hear recordings taken elsewhere. Legal representatives and other authorised parties will also have access to recordings via a secure portal, reducing costs further by removing the need to issue interviews on physical media.

Under the agreement, Steria will provide Digital Interview Recording as a managed service to Greater Manchester Police, taking responsibility for the design, build and operation of a robust, high availability networked system, as well as overall project and service management. Steria will work alongside Reliance High Tech, who is responsible for the design and installation of the interview room equipment as well as Indico Systems, providers of the system that manages the recordings. The partnership will ensure that Greater Manchester Police has access to reliable, state of the art technology to meet its ongoing interview needs whilst benefiting from cost and efficiency savings.

John Torrie, CEO, Steria UK commented: "We are excited to be working with Greater Manchester Police to digitise all its future interview recordings; helping modernise the force. With budgets under increasing pressure, forces have to examine every area of their operations in order to identify efficiency savings and the recording of interviews is no exception. As a result of this contract Greater Manchester Police will see considerable benefits in this area for years to come."

Chief Superintendent Mary Doyle at Greater Manchester Police commented: "The agreement with Steria, Reliance High Tech and Indico will ensure that our officers can continue to follow best practice in gathering evidence through interviews. The agreement will remove our dependence on obsolete tape technology and provide us with higher quality, more reliable interview recording technology, adhering to Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) and Achieving Best Evidence guidance. This will maintain and improve the quality of evidence provided to courts whilst costs are saved through the replacement of physical media. Delivered by Steria and its partners, this service is an important step in the continued modernisation of Greater Manchester Police."

Biocon's Insulin franchise continues to garner market share across India & emerging markets and now accounts for more than 10% of our sales. This quarter saw us enhance our partnership with Mylan through the re-licensing of our portfolio of generic insulin analogs. The partnership with Mylan endorses the intrinsic value of this asset and significantly reduces our burden of development costs involved in global commercialization. Looking ahead, we intend to sustain our growth momentum by optimizing our small molecules portfolio, further expanding our insulin footprint in emerging markets, and continuing to deliver robust growth in Branded Formulations and Research Services. I am also pleased to state that the Board has recommended a Dividend payout of Rs 5/share (100%) and a Special Dividend of Rs 2.50/share (50%) pursuant to the re-licensing of our insulin analogs portfolio, as our on-going commitment to building incremental shareholder value."

*includes exceptional items


Biopharma: Small Molecules & Biosimilars

Small Molecules

The small molecules portfolio was driven by strong sales in Fidaxomicin & Immunosuppressants. Our statins portfolio, with its evolving product mix, has remained robust despite industry headwinds. Our ANDA portfolio continues to make progress, and currently has 20+ products under its ambit.

Biosimilars

Insulins -The biosimilars vertical continues to be driven by the increasing footprint of our generic rh-Insulin & generic insulin glargine in Emerging Markets. We currently have approval in 40+ countries for generic rh-Insulin and in 5+ countries for generic insulin glargine.

In FY14, we intend to commence clinical and regulatory development for marketing registration of generic rh-Insulin in the US, under the purview of our existing US IND. We intend to take up the development responsibility on our own, in accordance with our discussions with the FDA.

We have planned meetings with the FDA where we propose to discuss the strategy associated with the commencement of the generic Insulin Glargine Phase III clinical trials. We also continue to engage with the EMEA prior to our dossier filing for generic rh-insulin in EU.

A key milestone this quarter was the further strengthening of our generic partnership with Mylan by the addition of 3 generic insulin analogs to the development portfolio. The co-development partnership entails sharing of development & capital costs for global commercialization. Mylan will have exclusive commercialization rights in key regulated markets whilst the two partners will have co-exclusive commercialization rights in the other regions. Through this collaboration, Biocon gains a stable co-development partner with strong marketing capabilities along with a profit share on commercialization.

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Biocon's CMD commented on this development, "Mylan is a natural preferred partner for our portfolio of generic Insulin analogs and this collaboration further strengthens our existing successful partnership. We are excited to team up with Mylan to be able to cost effectively address the disease and economic burden that diabetes poses to global health. We are confident that together we can build a strong global presence in generic Insulin analogs and thereby provide access to affordable therapy options to physicians, healthcare providers and diabetes patients worldwide."

Monoclonal Antibodies (MAbs) - Our global phase III trial for biosimilar trastuzumab has gained further traction with ongoing recruitment and trial approval in major European countries including Germany. We have also completed patient recruitment in a separate Phase III trial for biosimilar trastuzumab being conducted in India.

Novel Molecules

Our oral insulin candidate, IN-105, continues to make progress. The partnership with Bristol Myers-Squibb has enabled us to better structure the bridging trials to be completed prior to the initiation of Phase II. We intend to commence these trials shortly, in line with the receipt of approval from the regulators.

We continue our work on the novel anti-CD6 molecule Itolizumab, currently authorized for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. Its novel and differentiated mechanism of action holds promise for other autoimmune indications as well. We have completed a pre-IND meeting for Itolizumab with the US FDA, where we have received encouraging feedback. We have initiated the process of tailoring our data package in line with the feedback for the US IND filing.

Branded Formulations

Our branded formulations business unit recorded an impressive performance in the last quarter delivering to 30% YoY growth. The principal growth drivers have been Oncology, Comprehensive Care, Diabetology and Bioproducts. Specifically our brands InsugenT, BasalogT, BioMab EGFRT, EvertorT, Abraxane®, IVNEX® and Erypro® have been the leading contributors. In FY14, we look forward to the successful launch of our brand AlzumabT, a novel anti CD6 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Psoriasis. AlzumabT is a differentiated biologic drug with a superior safety profile compared to other approved biologic therapies given its very low infection rates.

Commenting on this performance, Rakesh Bamzai, President- Marketing said, "The robust growth that Biocon has witnessed in Branded Formulations reflects our focus on building brands. Against the industry growth of 12%, we have grown by 34% in FY13. Biocon is committed to invest in its brands and people in India and other emerging markets. This will strengthen the foundation that will sustain these healthy growth rates. "

Research Services

The research services businesses have built strongly on the growth momentum from the previous quarters, to deliver a Q4 revenue growth of 41% YoY. For the full year, Syngene and Clinigene have posted combined revenues of Rs 557 Crores, reflecting early traction from the investments we have been making across our multiple platforms. We have also concluded the GE investment of Rs 125 Crores this quarter, with the funds earmarked for capital investments to fuel the next phase of growth.

Commenting on this performance, Peter Bains, Director Syngene International, said, "FY13 has been a milestone year for us with research services' revenues crossing the US$ 100 million threshold for the first time. Our strategy has been to expand our discovery and development capabilities in small molecules and biologics, enabling us to offer more integrated and value added services to our customers. Our growth reflects a strong mix of retained and expanded clientele as well as the addition of important new customers across all our major platforms. The extensive nature of our scientific platforms has empowered us to diversify beyond biopharma helping us serve leading companies in the nutritional, consumer health, agrichemical, food science and electronics sectors. Today we have ~90 life-sciences customers including 16 of the top 20 pharma companies of the world. The current growth momentum and strong order book, indicates that we are moving in the right direction."

Outlook

The emphasis in FY14 will be on the execution of development plans for the generic biologics portfolio with a firm leash on costs and portfolio margins. We expect our R&D costs to increase in line with the progress being made by our generic biologics and novel molecules. Revenues should keep pace with the increasing R&D investments, as we gain further traction in emerging markets this fiscal. We intend to further optimize our small molecules portfolio to ensure healthy margins. Our Malaysian facility continues to advance and is poised to come on stream by FY15, helping Biocon transform into a leading generic insulin player.

McAfee Delivers Enterprise Class Security to the Cloud
McAfee Identity and Access Management Solutions Enable IT to Regain Control of Cloud Applications

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, April 25, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- McAfee today announced the addition of identity and access management solutions to its Security Connected portfolio. The solutions that were previously sold and developed by Intel include McAfee Cloud Single Sign On and McAfee One Time Password. McAfee also introduced a new McAfee Identity Center of Expertise, staffed with experts in identity and cloud security to assist users with questions pertaining to identity and access management issues, such as architecture requirements and best practices.

Organizations of all sizes are moving IT operations and functions to the cloud in order to reduce costs. As businesses embrace cloud-based applications they quickly find their IT department and application administrators are overwhelmed with the problem of managing cloud-based application accounts. Many organizations are trying to use legacy identity and authentication solutions which can create security gaps and are often complicated to deploy and customize for new applications.

To address this problem, the McAfee identity and access management solutions enable simple, safe, secure and compliant access to critical business information, including cloud-based applications, while maintaining agile business practices. McAfee Identity and Access Management solutions include:

-- McAfee One Time Password - scalable multi-factor authentication solution which delivers a one-time password (OTP) to any mobile device or PC.

-- McAfee Cloud Single Sign On - delivers single sign-on (SSO) for hundreds of cloud-based applications. McAfee Cloud Single Sign On is available in two form factors:

-- On-Premise Edition - application platform which can be deployed on any compatible Windows or Linux server platform, or virtual machine.

-- SaaS Edition - cloud-based version available as a service hosted and supported by McAfee.

Customers have the flexibility to purchase McAfee Cloud Single Sign On licenses and apply them to either the On-Premise Edition or SaaS Edition, or in a mixed hybrid configuration.

"There is a huge shift underway to extend enterprise-class security to cloud-based applications and services while also consolidating security onto just a few key platforms," said Pat Calhoun, senior vice president and general manager of Network Security at McAfee. "McAfee is not trying to 'boil the ocean,' instead we are focusing on several identity-related 'hot spots' and investing to help our customers and partners solve critical challenges and maintain business continuity and agility."

McAfee Cloud Single Sign On includes hundreds of pre-configured Cloud Identity connectors, automated account provisioning and de-provisioning, integration with key enterprise identity repositories, built-in multi-factor authentication based on the McAfee One Time Password product, a management console with monitoring, audit and reporting tools, as well as maintenance, upgrades and 24x7 support, all for one cost-effective subscription price. "McAfee has been excellent to work with," said Kamal Elharam, director of Information Systems and Technology at Senior Service America Incorporated. "The McAfee Cloud Single Sign On product met all of our needs and it helped us, as well as our system integrator, to implement the best solution to support our business goals. Other vendors weren't as eager to adjust to our environment and expected us to do business differently to allow us to use their tools."

McAfee One Time Password has a flexible architecture which enables customers to achieve the benefits of multi-factor authentication without the overhead expense and management headaches of legacy hardware tokens. Customers can choose to deliver multi-factor authentication via a smart phone, mobile phone (via SMS text message), a PC client application, email, instant message/chat, or a third-party token.

McAfee and its solution providers deliver integrated identity management and Web protection solutions that simplify and secure access to cloud applications while protecting against advanced malware and other hidden threats. From single-sign-on, strong authentication and granular application control to web filtering, deep content inspection and advanced malware protection, McAfee provides the industry's most comprehensive Web security solution.

The rear seat entertainment package brings the world of BMW ConnectedDrive to the back seats with two newly designed 23.3 cm colour screens and a personal iDrive Controller.

The locally produced BMW 730Ld has one of the most smooth-running, light, efficient and responsive engines in its class. It has a BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line diesel engine combining CommonRail direct injection and a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry that delivers more power (190kW / 258hp) than the previous model. The BMW 730Ld produces a maximum torque of 560 Nm at 1,500 rpm and accelerates from 0 - 100 km/hr in 6.2 seconds to a top speed of 250 km/hr.

The new eight-speed automatic transmission with Cruise Control performs smooth, almost imperceptible gear shifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and efficiency.

Using the Driving Experience Control switch, the driver is able to choose between different driving modes to suit the driving conditions (ECO PRO, Comfort, Sport and Sport+). In addition, Dynamic Damper Control adapts the shock absorber characteristics and adjusts to suit both the road condition and driving style.

Safety also plays an important role in the new BMW 7 Series. The Active Protection system recognizes the collision risks and immediately tightens the front seat belts, closes the windows and the sunroof to significantly reduce injury risk. Exclusively available only in the new BMW 7 Series, the Attention Assist function recognises if the driver is increasingly distracted or tired and issues a notification via the Control Display, suggesting they take a break. The driver can then look up suitable nearby rest stops.

With BMW EfficientDynamics, the new BMW 7 Series is equipped with most comprehensive technology packages to reduce fuel consumption and increase driving dynamics - such as Intelligent Lightweight Construction, Auto Start-Stop, ECO PRO mode, Brake-Energy Regeneration, 50:50 Weight Distribution and many other innovative technologies.

The new BMW 7 Series has a comprehensive range of luxury features such as an individual cool box, generously sized folding tables integrated in the backrest of the front seats and massage function in rear seat backrests. The automatic air conditioning with air re-circulation filter, fogging and solar sensors, regulates temperature, air flow, air distribution and air layering separately to four zones.

(BW)(MOTOROLA-SOLUTIONS)(MSI)International TETRA Awards Recognizes Motorola Solutions' Excellence in Five Categories
Asian customers receive awards; Motorola Solutions also recently achieved shipment milestone of 2 million TETRA radios

Gurgaon, Haryana, India and Indonesia, Thursday, April 25, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) --

Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:MSI), a leading provider of mission-critical communication solutions and services for enterprise and government customers, is announcing that it won four of the seven categories of the International TETRA Awards and was 'highly commended' in a fifth category.

Motorola's TETRA RF Automated Coverage Evaluation Solution (TRACES) was the only entrant in the awards to win twice, once for "Best TETRA Innovation" and once more in the category "Best Solution for Enterprise." The "Green Award," with an eco-friendly objective, was won by Motorola's Dimetra IP Release 8.x TETRA platform, which offers network operators a simpler and more cost-effective platform to deliver TETRA mission-critical communications to public safety users.

A further two awards were won by submissions entered by Motorola in conjunction with customers: Resorts World Sentosa from Singapore won the "Best Use of TETRA in Private Industry" category and Shanghai Metro from China won a Highly Commended Award in the category "Best Use of TETRA in Transport," raising the total of awards collected on the night by Motorola Solutions to five.

Earlier this year, Motorola Solutions also announced that it has shipped its two millionth TETRA digital radio terminal. This milestone was reached in less than four years, half the time it took to reach the first milestone of 1 million units bought by customers. Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) of India, which built, owns and operates Bengaluru International Airport, has received its order of MTP3000 series radio as part of this two millionth TETRA shipment milestone from Motorola Solutions.

Key Facts

About International TETRA Awards

  • The International TETRA Awards, a collaboration between the TCCA and TETRA Today, are designed to recognise excellence in the field of TETRA radio communications in both mission-critical and business-critical organizations and took place in the London Transport Museum.

About TRACES

  • Motorola Solutions' award-winning TRACES was developed collaboratively by London's Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and Motorola's Global Solutions and Services team. The solution was developed to help the MPS gain automatic visibility of black spots on the mission-critical TETRA network, which impacted the ability of Officers to make calls during major events. The MPS also needed the ability to evaluate and analyse network data post-event.
  • Motorola Solutions developed TRACES to allow end-user organisations such as the MPS, to automatically collect, visualise and evaluate data from mission-critical TETRA networks via error logs recorded in Motorola Solutions' TETRA terminals. This allows managers to view usage patterns and quickly identify coverage black spots, enabling them to work with the network operator to enhance performance. Motorola has since evolved TRACES into a solution that allows network operators real-time visibility and data on network coverage and performance issues.
  • TRACES is a flexible, easy to install and modular tool that can be customised to mission-critical network operator needs.
  • With TRACES in operation, actual network coverage that is being supplied by the network is quickly visible to the operator so when changes occur on the network, operators no longer have to rely on inaccurate predicted coverage maps
  • The use of TRACES as an analytical tool can greatly reduce maintenance costs because it reduces the need for regular drive testing in problem areas

About Dimetra IP Release 8.x

  • Dimetra IP Release 8.x offers a simpler, more resilient and cost-effective TETRA system for supporting mission-critical voice and data applications, harnessing the advanced capabilities of a new IT server-based platform.
  • Dimetra IP Release 8.x users are seeing a reduction of 70 percent in power consumption in switch sites, with a 60 percent reduction in physical space and footprint. The all-IP architecture carries over into the control room with an 80 percent reduction in power possible as the latest IT equipment is used.
  • Dimetra IP Release 8.x includes automated system upgrade functionality, which reduces upgrade time as well as the need for specialist and expensive support staff. The new system achieves practically seamless upgrades by reducing service outages by more than 60 percent compared with the previous system release.

SUPPORTING QUOTES
John Adams, Head of Radio Services, London Metropolitan Police Service
"TRACES is a perfect example for how user involvement ensures the development of solutions exactly for their needs. We were one of the reasons why it has been developed. Our involvement has led to the creation of a solution from which other organizations around the world can benefit. We are pleased that Motorola has listened to us and delivered the right tool. TRACES has given us tremendous insights into our TETRA network and cost savings. Its recognition at the International Tetra Awards is well deserved."

Gary Aitkenhead, vice president, Global Services Organization, Motorola Solutions EMEA
"Innovation and customer focus are at the heart of Motorola's Global Solutions and Services, and it is with great pleasure to see that this is being recognized by users and the industry. Motorola's TRACES is a prime example of how a complex customer issue has been resolved with outstanding innovation. TRACES has revolutionised the way TETRA networks are monitored and optimised - putting customers in control and giving them visibility to network data that was previously challenging and costly to gain. We are delighted to receive these awards and look forward to building on this momentum over the next few years."

BWI: Frost & Sullivan: India’s Vast Mobile User Base Makes it an Ideal Market for mHealth Services

Frost & Sullivan: India's Vast Mobile User Base Makes it an Ideal Market for mHealth Services
Greater awareness about mHealth will close the gap between urban and rural markets

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, April 25, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Changing disease profiles, increased adoption of smart phones, advancements in mobile technology, and greater focus on health and wellness are laying concrete foundation for mHealth in India. Currently, there are more than 20 initiatives for mHealth in the country. This number is set to grow as India has a robust mobile technology infrastructure in place and saw the launch of 4G in 2012.

Furthermore, India has the second largest population in the world and one of the highest numbers of mobile users. The swelling subscriber base is attributed to low tariffs and inexpensive handsets.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.healthcareIT.frost.com), Overview of mHealth Market in India, finds that the compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for mobile handset in the rural and urban markets are likely to be 12.4 and 10.6 percent, respectively, till 2016.

mHealth is still a fledgling concept and most of the initiatives undertaken are only a couple of years old. The market has very few successful business models and it will be at least two to five years before a successful model emerges. This is due to the large disparity in mobile infrastructure in rural and urban India.

"Mobile connectivity and data transmission is still a challenge in the rural markets," observed the Frost & Sullivan Analyst. "Since people from these market segments use mobile phones mostly for their voice services, the acceptance of value-added services is very low. The primary reason for this is high prevalence of poverty and illiteracy (around 31 percent) in rural areas."

The urban market, however, continues to witness growth in mobile handset uptake due to the developing replacement market. With quality healthcare being centralized in urban centers, there is a dearth of medical workforce in rural markets. The healthcare industry is hoping that mobile platforms will close the disparity in service provision. With the increasing penetration of mobile services in rural areas, mHealth solutions can strengthen the healthcare delivery system for the rural population. This will happen only with a collaborative effort on the part of policy makers, telecom providers, and mHealth solution providers.

"The rural population should be educated about the benefits of mHealth services, while the urban population should be encouraged to use mHealth applications to modify and monitor their lifestyle," said the analyst. "Once these objectives are realized, the mHealth application market in India is expected to develop significantly over the period of next five years."
