Singapore Rolls Out New Productivity Initiative for SMEs
Singapore, Monday, August 05, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- The 360 Productivity will help as many as 700 Singapore SMEs navigate their way through productivity and become globally competitive enterprises, says Singapore company registration specialist Rikvin.
In a bid to help SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises), the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) and Human Capital Singapore (HCS) have this week launched the 360 Productivity Framework. The framework has been designed for local enterprises to understand and utilise productivity from every angle, in order to up their ante amidst a tight labour market.
Singapore company registration specialist Rikvin recognizes this program will help many SMEs that have not been able to grasp the national drive towards higher productivity.
The framework consists of three components - an Annual Productivity event, a series of four Productivity Masterclasses and eight Productivity Practice Sessions (PPS). Some 700 SMEs stand to benefit from the scheme.
The Annual Productivity event aims to help SMEs understand productivity in all of its forms and applications. This includes understanding how it has evolved, how it should be measured, how to improve it, what to do with the gains and how to apply non-market strategies to navigate geopolitical challenges.
The Masterclass Series will bring renowned thought leaders to share their ideas on related productivity themes. The PPS will bring like-minded people managers and leaders to share and learn productivity initiatives.
Analysis by Rikvin shows that the framework builds on productivity and capability-related initiatives such as the Productivity and Innovation Credit Scheme as well as the Innovation & Capability Voucher (ICV).
Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Satish Bakhda, Head of Operations at Rikvin said, "Many SMEs understand the benefits of productivity and how it can help scale up the business. However, moving up the value chain requires not only time and energy, but careful planning. We anticipate that SMEs are in good stead to benefit from this initiative and hope to see it take flight."

BGS Global Hospitals Organises the First Global Interventional Radiology Symposium
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Monday, August 05, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- -- Showcased a wide range of Interventional Radiology procedures performed at Global Hospitals
-- Knowledge sharing to help interventional Radiologists with better treatment plans and patient outcomes
BGS Global Hospitals organised Global Interventional Radiology Symposium (GIRS 2013), the first in the country. The one day symposium was well attended by over 120 delegates from all over the country. The symposium showcased a wide range of Interventional Radiology procedures routinely performed at Global Hospitals in Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad.
Dr M C Uthappa, Director of Interventional Radiology & Interventional Oncology, Global Hospitals, said, "Today, Interventional Radiology is an integral part of various clinical procedures, finding a role in vascular diseases, liver diseases, oncology, stroke management, women's health, paediatrics, and back pain. Interventional Radiology procedures are nonsurgical procedures and bring with them immense patient benefits, hence a preferred option for treatment in varicose veins, fibroids, prostate gland enlargement, etc."
He added, " Available to us in India are a variety of new IR techniques that have been successfully incorporated into clinical practice, which involve the use of catheters, guide wires, balloons for angioplasty, coils, liquid embolizing agents, stents and stent grafts, radiofrequency ablation devices, thrombectomy devices, which is a boon to interventional radiologists."
Patient benefits by treatment with Interventional Radiology
-- Outpatient procedure (some require a short stay)
-- General Anaesthesia is usually not required
-- Risk, pain and recovery time reduced significantly
-- Less expensive than surgery in majority of the cases
The highlights of this symposium, which was inaugurated by Dr K. Ravindranath, Chairman & Managing Director of Global Hospitals Group were:
1.Interactive discussions followed the talks in the four main sessions
2.A special panel discussion was organised on Liver Cancer
3.Guest lecture by Dr SS Baijal, Director of Interventional Radiology, Medanta Hospital, New Delhi

International SOS and Control Risks Unveil State-of-the-art Features for TravelTracker 6 - The World's Most Advanced Travel Risk Management Solution
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Monday, August 05, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Enhanced features help organisations proactively manage risk and take 'Duty of Care' to the next level
International SOS and Control Risks have today unveiled the world's most advanced online travel security tool, helping employers keep their people out of danger when travelling overseas.
A fully redesigned TravelTracker 6 enables clients to quickly identify the location of their employees and communicate with them in their time of need, wherever they are in the world. Its advanced features are a gateway to the services of International SOS and Control Risks - working together to offer the world's most comprehensive medical and travel security solutions.
The upgrade includes enhanced and interactive visualisation, with improved search and navigation features. The system has been tested by around 100 clients over the past year and is integrated with the International SOS Assistance App for mobile devices. A "check-in" button will be offered which will allow travellers to notify their office that they have arrived safely.
Other key features:
-- New and detailed traveller "profiles" overlayed graphically on a map provide more certainty and peace of mind in knowing who is where and if they need assistance
-- Interactive maps display the location of a medical or travel security event, helping businesses quickly track where travellers and employees are at all times
-- Fast and in-depth searches using personal, geographical, and trip data
-- Instant notifications between employers and those on the ground - 24/7 - allowing companies and employees to benefit from more informed decisions
Rich Gallagher, Chief Digital Officer at International SOS said:
"As global business opportunities evolve and shift to different parts of the world, risks also increase for employees and expatriates living, working, and travelling abroad.
A decade ago, we brought the first travel tracking tool to market and have continued to refine the technology based on our innovations as well as customer feedback. With organisations sending people to more risky destinations, the need for clients to know their employees' locations and itineraries is more important than ever.
The right information is essential to making sound decisions, especially situations that need to be addressed quickly or in the event of a crisis. Every year, we provide our clients with the ability to track their 2.4m unique international travellers. TravelTracker 6 gives travellers, expatriates and managers all the support they need to conduct business safely and securely in any part of the world."

SmeSauda Betting Big on Retail Printing and Billing Products (Point of Sale Products)
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Monday, August 05, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Smesauda ('The Online SME supermarket'), India's leading B2B ecommerce portal is now betting big on the Retail Printing and Billing (POS) segment. Having launched a product line expansion in this category late in 2012, a visibly excited Priyankar Baid, Founder, smesauda, reflected upon the "growth story" and the underlying "opportunity" the 2 year old company is looking to unearth in the booming Indian Retail setup.
"The tipping point has been the growing awareness of the unorganized retail marts about usage of retail printing and data capturing solutions. Most of our growth last year was from the SME component of Indian retail, the everyday mom and pop stores, who have now started installing a thermal printer for billing or a barcode scanner for operational tracking and efficiency. Earlier these billing solutions were the norm at giants like the Bigbazaars and Easydays of the world but today the small retail shops are installing these machines to process cash receipts and bills efficiently. The growth story has unearthed a big opportunity for Smesauda as far as the retail printing segment is concerned."
For an industry which is growing at an annual rate of 15-20%, the growing demand from small retail segment has driven all leading manufacturers like TVS, WeP, and Epson to introduce new Point of Sale products. Smesauda has been one of the key suppliers for these brands in the e-commerce space for close to a year now and has been clocking a steady double digit growth in the retail printing segment. The other product categories Smesauda has got aggressive in the past year include POS (Point Of Sale) System, regular Billing Machine, Barcode Scanner and Receipt Printer. This is the comprehensive set of categories which complete the circle in retail billing solutions.
"This has been a year of self-discovery for us when it comes to understanding the needs of the SME segment beyond office equipment. We will be introducing 3-4 product categories and expanding the brands that we carry by the end of this quarter in the retail solutions segment which will further augment the current lines" outlines Baid in the closing minutes of the meeting.

BWI: India Transport Portal’s Report: Rolling Resistance Regulation for Sustainable Transportation in India

India Transport Portal's Report: Rolling Resistance Regulation for Sustainable Transportation in India
London, United Kingdom, Monday, August 05, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Today there are growing concerns about carbon emissions and fuel consumption linked to tyre use in the transportation industry. It has become important enough for the European Union to introduce emission standards and labeling focused on tyres. This report looks at regulatory considerations for India at its present stage of development along with its unique set of challenges.
Rolling resistance reaches beyond being just a tyre issue that affects fuel consumption and carbon emissions. It is also a key indicator for manufacturers reporting on fuel efficiency of their vehicles. The report provides an overview of India's transportation challenges, looks at what lessons India could learn from the EU experience, benchmark other economies on how they are approaching rolling resistance regulations and suggests some approaches and strategies that could work in the Indian context. It zooms in on the transportation sector and discusses outcomes if certain pending Indian government decisions are made.
Today, developed economies, such as those in the European Union are reporting specific parameters of the tyre performances linked to rolling resistance (fuel consumption with labels on all tyres sold). Already, there are issues on enforcement and consistency coming to light. Especially in emerging economies and economies where regulation enforcements are just becoming robust. Having labels for tyres is just the small tip of a very large iceberg with regards to how to test, monitor and enforce correct and consistent labelling information. If developed economies are already finding the going complex and unwieldy, how exactly would India cope if it decided to mirror existing EU reporting procedures?
The need for better and cleaner transportation solutions in India is on the critical path, what then could India do within the regulatory framework to drive adoption for sustainable transport solutions? This report proposes mandatory thresholds that are standardized, simpler to monitor and to set up at the beginning. The main point of the mandatory threshold initiative is that it helps to ensure conformity and prevent consumer confusion, potential fraud. It is a first step regarding tyre regulation to ensure sustainable transportation.
About India Transport Portal:
Founded in 2010 as a leading independent information and analysis hub on Indian transportation, India Transport Portal (ITP) covers critical issues that India faces such as transportation infrastructure, sustainable transportation etc. ITP has already issued several Publications, Special Issues and Infographics: Radialisation in India, Road Safety in India, NHDP road construction pace, Railways achievements, Car market etc.
ITP strongly believes that all stakeholders should be involved in elaborating a global reflection on the matter; that's why we chose a multi-faceted approach to tackle Indian transportation issues. With the ITP in-house team of analysts backed by a network of professional experts in India and abroad, ITP delivers high value material to every Key Opinion Leader and Decision Maker: corporates, journalists, NGOs, academics etc.
