Collabnet Ushers in the Next Evolution in Software Development: Enterprise Cloud Development
CollabNet aligns strategy with Enterprise Cloud Development; adds and integrates CloudForge into its product portfolio to drive hybrid cloud development and deployment
Brisbane, Calif., United States, Monday, April 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- CollabNet® ( www.collab.net), a global leader for Enterprise Cloud Development and Agile ALM products and services, today unveiled its new corporate strategy to support the enterprise adoption of hybrid cloud development and deployment. It is the culmination of 12 years of development vision, innovation and community-building to better connect teams, processes and tools, both on premise and in private and public clouds. In addition to launching its new strategy, corporate website and a host of thought leadership content around Enterprise Cloud Development, CollabNet today launched CloudForgeT, the industry's first enterprise-grade development-Platform-as-a-Service (dPaaS), and also integrated CloudForge into its on-premise TeamForge® and Subversion Edge products.
"The information technology sector, and the software development industry in particular, is rapidly evolving into a mix of Agile, DevOps and hybrid cloud practices to accelerate application development and deployment," said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO for CollabNet. "Enterprise Cloud Development is the evolution of basic cloud development, as it enables enterprises to extend their internal IT practices to the external cloud in a flexible and hybrid nature by leveraging existing systems and embracing new platforms. Our customers are telling us that their software engineering processes must be enhanced to introduce new spans of control as their teams adopt hybrid cloud development and deployment."
As part of its corporate alignment to support Enterprise Cloud Development, CollabNet unveiled its new website that includes a series of online presentations, and is sponsoring an IDG TechCast called "What you need to know about Enterprise Cloud Development." The TechCast is available for immediate viewing and includes videos of CollabNet executives, partners and industry influencers, a white paper and animated video scribe outlining five practical steps to incorporate cloud development into Agile and DevOps practices.

Industry research shows that cloud development is quickly working its way into the overall enterprise IT mix. For instance, a 2011 study conducted by Saugatuck Technology indicated that "75 percent of all companies will be doing some of their development in the cloud in 2012, and an average of 50 percent of new software deployments worldwide will be made in the cloud by the end of 2014."
Based on its years of experience and patterns of customer success, CollabNet has outlined a blueprint containing five practical steps to guide organizations on their path to Enterprise Cloud Development as they adopt hybrid cloud IT into the application development and deployment lifecycle. The steps include: 1) embrace the cloud for centralizing access and visibility to tools and processes; 2) create a robust coding community to encourage reuse; 3) codify development processes by standardizing tools, workflows and processes; 4) automate DevOps practices; and 5) take a hybrid approach by leveraging public and on-premise private cloud resources in a secure, compliant and optimal way.
To deliver customer and industry value, CollabNet's Enterprise Cloud Development strategy is strengthened by three new product offerings:
1) The launch of CloudForge: CollabNet's next-generation dPaaS is built from the previously acquired Codesion® public cloud hosting platform, and meets the needs of professional teams throughout the entire organization. It helps developers and IT managers instantly develop and deploy software using a hybrid mix of tools, application frameworks and deployment clouds - all with enterprise security and compliance in place.
2) Standardizing Enterprise Cloud Development for the industry: CloudForge adds unique capabilities for its users, and creates new dPaaS business opportunities for third-parties through its new App Center. By offering complimentary, best-of-breed development and deployment services, including Cloud Foundry and SOASTA, users gain integrated functionality and platform partners can directly access CollabNet's more than 10,000 customers. It also helps CollabNet rapidly expand its menu of services offered within the CloudForge user interface.
3) ALM and SCM hybrid cloud services: Initially, CloudForge Cloud Services will be available to customers with on-premise deployments of Subversion Edge and TeamForge. A new Subversion Edge CloudBackup service now provides seamless Subversion data archiving, redundancy and migration capabilities for any on-premise user of Subversion Edge or TeamForge, without leaving their own desktop environment. Later in the year, additional hybrid cloud services will be available in TeamForge and Subversion Edge, such as elastic server provisioning for build, test and deployment.
"Software development is changing, due in part to the growth of cloud computing. Smaller teams are taking the lead with cloud-based development, and in turn proving value and gaining the attention of executives responsible for the bottom-line," said Ben Kepes, principal at research firm Diversity Analysis. "As enterprise IT looks to cloud development, offerings such as CollabNet's, that provide the foundation for companies to embrace the cloud in a manner that integrates into and extends existing development processes, will be seen as the best way of ensuring efficiency and effectiveness."

BWI: Now, Innovative Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain Tumours – It’s Just a Four Minute Treatment
Press release from Business Wire India

Now, Innovative Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain Tumours - It's Just a Four Minute Treatment
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Monday, April 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- -- Non-invasive treatment of benign brain tumours
-- Stereotactic Radiosurgery achieves the same result as an open surgery
-- Patient benefits: A two day hospital stay, safe and painless
BGS Global Hospitals, part of the Global Hospitals Group announced the launch of an innovative Stereotactic Radiosurgery procedure which takes just four minutes to treat brain tumours.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery is a specialized technology of reaching the tumour (a focal point) in the brain through three dimensional measurements and calculations. This is done by a special instrument called Stereotactic Frame which will give the coordinates to reach the target tumour and radiation is delivered to the tumour without damaging the neighbouring structures. The procedure involves delivery of a single, high dose of radiation to a small and critically located brain tissue through the intact skull.
Dr. N. K. Venkataramana, Vice-Chairman and Chief Neurosurgeon, BGS Global Hospitals said, "Stereotactic Radiosurgery offers a great advantage in treating benign tumours as well as brain tumours located in critical areas without an open surgery.

Now, Innovative Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain Tumours - It's Just a Four Minute Treatment
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Monday, April 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- -- Non-invasive treatment of benign brain tumours
-- Stereotactic Radiosurgery achieves the same result as an open surgery
-- Patient benefits: A two day hospital stay, safe and painless
BGS Global Hospitals, part of the Global Hospitals Group announced the launch of an innovative Stereotactic Radiosurgery procedure which takes just four minutes to treat brain tumours.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery is a specialized technology of reaching the tumour (a focal point) in the brain through three dimensional measurements and calculations. This is done by a special instrument called Stereotactic Frame which will give the coordinates to reach the target tumour and radiation is delivered to the tumour without damaging the neighbouring structures. The procedure involves delivery of a single, high dose of radiation to a small and critically located brain tissue through the intact skull.
Dr. N. K. Venkataramana, Vice-Chairman and Chief Neurosurgeon, BGS Global Hospitals said, "Stereotactic Radiosurgery offers a great advantage in treating benign tumours as well as brain tumours located in critical areas without an open surgery. This method has become the standard of treatment all over the world for the Arteriovenous Malformations of the brain wherein surgery is of high risk. In addition, people with multiple medical problems who are otherwise not fit to undergo neurosurgery now have an option of Stereotactic Radiosurgery.

BWI: The Middle East Emerges a Hotbed of Activity for the District Cooling Market, Finds Frost & Sullivan
Press release from Business Wire India

The Middle East Emerges a Hotbed of Activity for the District Cooling Market, Finds Frost & Sullivan
Hectic Construction Activity Widens the Market for District Cooling
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Monday, April 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- The Middle East experiences the longest summers on earth, with temperatures ranging between 35-55 degrees Celsius. This has created a fertile market for district cooling, which is expected to grow at a healthy Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15.4 per cent from 2010 to 2016. A spate of construction projects worth nearly USD1 trillion across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), especially in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, has thrown the market open to district cooling. Consumers and real estate companies realise that district cooling offers the best cooling services at better rates than traditional cooling methods.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.buildingtechnologies.frost.com), Analysis of the District Cooling Market, finds that the market earned revenues of over USD1.11 billion in 2010 and estimates this to reach USD2.63 billion in 2016.
"Even though the initial capital investment is higher than conventional air conditioning, operating costs are considerably lower," says Frost & Sullivan Building Technologies Industry Manger for Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, Kumar Ramesh. "The district cooling process is more energy efficient as it consumes 40-50 per cent less energy than localised air conditioning systems."
This energy efficiency will appeal to companies investing in high-profile construction projects, as they are conscious of the impact of their buildings on the environment. While they are now demanding cost-effective and energy-efficient cooling systems like district cooling, the governments in the region are also becoming increasingly aware of the need to employ environment-friendly technologies.
The high capital investments required for district cooling also lowers the availability of credit for huge projects, which hampers the growth of small- and medium-scale district cooling firms - especially in the UAE. To overcome this credit crunch, many developers are now availing alternate credit facilities such as public-private partnerships (PPPs).
The market also has to strive to address mounting customer resentment regarding higher charges due to discrepancies in the billing system and capacity charges incurred by district cooling suppliers. Moreover, the scarcity of fresh water is hindering the functioning of district cooling central plant towers.
"Market participants can alleviate these issues to some extent by installing smart meters at the destination level for measuring the exact usage and enabling accurate billing," notes Kumar Ramesh. "They should also keep an eye out for innovative technologies that allow them to use deep sea cooling and Treated Sewage Water (TSW) in the central plant."
All these measures can go a long way in helping district cooling companies to tap the abundant opportunities presented by the lucrative Middle Eastern market.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, April 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Companies are increasingly becoming aware of sustainable practices and adoption of these, as they realize that it will help mitigate their sustainability issues and bring business benefits in the future. According to Frost & Sullivan, adoption of green manufacturing practices is growing rapidly in India. The Manufacturing & Process Consulting Practice of Frost & Sullivan has been assisting companies in their journey towards adoption of Green Manufacturing practices through its Green Manufacturing Excellence Awards platform and consulting support. The team of experts assesses the level of adoption of green manufacturing practices at manufacturing sites across the country and selects the best practices from these sites, which are then presented at the Green Manufacturing Excellence Summit.
The 2012 edition of Green Manufacturing Excellence Summit and Awards took place on 27th April 2012 at ITC Grand Central, Mumbai. It was a culmination of the rigorous assessment process wherein select best practices from manufacturing sites were presented at the Summit during the day followed by felicitation of award recipients during the awards ceremony in the evening. The Chief Guest for the awards nite was Mr. R N Mukhija, Advisor to Chairman, Larsen & Toubro. The highlight for the evening was the Panel Discussion on 'Sustainable Initiatives Create Intrinsic Shareholder Value'.
The best practices shortlisted for knowledge sharing at the Summit were Business Benefits of Sustainability Initiatives by Hindustan Unilever Limited; Thermal Energy Storage System and Building Management System by Titan Industries Limited - Jewellery Division; Mapping Sustainability Challenges by ACC Limited - Sindri Cement Works; Advantages of Sustainability Reporting by Larsen & Toubro Limited; BIO MEG - Emergence as Green Feedstock by India Glycols Limited; Advanced Energy Conservation Systems and Environment and Social Impacts - Measured by Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited; Energy Efficient Painting Process by Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited; CSR - An Effective Deployment Process by ACC Limited - Thondebhavi Cement Works; Resource Recovery and Recycling by Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Limited; Building a Safety Culture by Hindustan Unilever Limited; Innovative Green Manufacturing Initiatives by Titan Industries Limited - Watch Division; Water Management & Recycling by Promed Exports Private Limited; Material Conservation by ACC Limited - Lakheri Cement Works and Solar Thermal Concentrator Applications by Clique Solar.
Nitin Kalothia, Associate Director, Manufacturing & Process Consulting Practice, Frost & Sullivan, South Asia & Middle East notes, "There is an increase seen in the adoption of Green Technologies over the last decade. However, the Indian companies are still at a nascent stage in terms of technology adoption and have a long way to go when compared to their global counterparts. The key evaluation criteria driving this adoption are 'return on investment' and 'regulatory requirements'. A positive development noted is that few companies are chalking out long term sustainability plans and have modified their day-to-day activities keeping in mind the effect on the environment."
Frost & Sullivan also released a market insight authored by Nitin Kalothia titled 'Best Practices in Green Manufacturing'. This market insight is a compilation of the best practices followed by few of the Indian companies that have been the front runners in adoption of Green Manufacturing practices.

Intuit's Market-leading Cloud Accounting Software Marks One Year of International Expansion
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Monday, April 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- QuickBooks Online, Intuit Inc.'s (Nasdaq: INTU) market-leading cloud-based accounting software, marks one year of international expansion this month, with products now available in Canada, the United Kingdom and Singapore.
Already the leading online accounting software in North America, QuickBooks Online is emerging as a growing force globally. There are more than 300,000 QuickBooks Online subscribers worldwide, mostly in the U.S., with thousands of businesses in international markets now joining the service each month.
In addition to expanding beyond the U.S into the U.K., Singapore and Canada, Intuit is starting to roll out the service to customers in India. Intuit customizes the offering for each market, based on deep customer insights gained by observing hundreds of small businesses in their own workplace. This knowledge creates a product tailored to the local needs of small businesses and the way they work.
QuickBooks Online helps small businesses stay on top of their finances whether in the office or on the road, saving them time and money. The product gives small business owners instant snapshots of their businesses, showing them what they're making, what they're spending, and who owes them money, all on a single screen. QuickBooks Online is PC and Mac-compatible and optimized for iPhone and Android devices.
Gaining Global Momentum
"Intuit is committed to helping small businesses improve their financial lives," said Alex Lintner, President of Intuit's Global Business Division. "Small businesses around the world face similar challenges and see the power of an easy-to-use solution for managing their finances. We have seen a terrific take up in the first year, and this is just the start of our international journey. We want to help many more people around the world to save time and manage their business better with QuickBooks Online."
-- United Kingdom: Intuit launched QuickBooks Online in the U.K. in April 2011 and continues to improve the service with regular updates of new and enhanced features.
Eugene Engelbrecht of London building firm Engel Construction said using QuickBooks Online for day-to-day invoicing, cash flow tracking and VAT gives him more time to focus on growing the business.
"QuickBooks Online has enabled me to go out there and look for work, rather than sitting in an office doing nothing but uploading invoices. From that point of view, it's got me back to doing the things I need to do," said Engelbrecht.
Charlie Carne, founder of Charlie Carne & Co. Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers in London, said QuickBooks Online helps his firm be more efficient and profitable.
"Direct online access to a client's data means we can be much more proactive in our dealings with them and offer advice to avert problems before they arise," Carne said. "With access to data in the cloud, staff can work on the clients' books from anywhere and because it is so easy to use, even the least financially aware clients can raise invoices directly, reducing time taken for our staff to re-key data and allowing us to focus our attention on more value-added services."
QuickBooks Online is available directly at quickbooksonline.co.uk. It is also available through partnerships with Smarta and BCSG) as part of bundled SaaS offerings through leading high street banks, Royal Bank of Scotland, NatWest and Barclays.
-- Singapore: Intuit launched QuickBooks Online in Singapore in April 2011 through a strategic partnership with SingTel ( www.intuit.sg).
Over the course of the year, Intuit has added functionality and features that make it easier for Singapore's small businesses to stay on top of their finances and get paid in a timely manner as they look to grow their business.
Benedict Lim, Managing Director and Acting Chief Psychologist, www.iGROW.sg, a psychological consultancy, said his company was attracted by the simplicity, ease-of-use and flexibility offered by QuickBooks Online.
"QuickBooks Online gets my business organized, simplifies sales and expense tracking, and ensures reliable records for tax time. Being a cloud solution, I can check my business health anytime, anywhere, even on my mobile devices," Lim said.
-- Canada: Intuit launched QuickBooks Online in Canada in March 2012 ( quickbooksonline.intuit.ca). Product features include online banking integration, which safely links customers' accounts with their bank to import statements and removes the need to manually enter transactions.
Lynn Cheney of Lynn's Income Tax and Bookkeeping Ltd. in Airdrie, tested an early version of the product. "Having free user access for accountants to log in and check clients' records was a big advantage," she said.
"QuickBooks Online is better than other programs because of the fact it is online and the accountant can access it anytime," Cheney said.
Peggy Crawford of Renewed Business Strategies, a professional services firm in Ontario, was impressed by the ability to manage finances on the go. "I don't use a lot of mobile applications, but this was an interesting experience to create an invoice on the go," she said.
-- India: The international expansion for QuickBooks Online continues with Intuit starting to roll out the service to customers in India ( quickbooksonline.in). With around 2 million broadband-connected small businesses, India offers huge growth potential for cloud-based services. QuickBooks Online complies with Indian norms and accounting formats with support for local tax compliance for VAT and Service Tax.
Somasekhar.BS runs a printing solutions company, ECompat Printing Solutions in Bangalore. His company was among the first in India to start using QuickBooks Online.

With a choice of four spectrometers and integrating sphere options ranging in size from 25cm to 195cm, illumia systems are highly customizable for any budget or application.

Labsphere's NIST-traceable, NVLAP® accredited calibrated lamp standards allow manufacturers to move product development from design to market more quickly with in-house testing of the thermal, optical, and electrical properties in preparation for meeting global market standards.
All systems are sold with Labsphere's Spectraflect® high reflectance coating, providing a nearly perfect diffuse reflectance for greatest measurement accuracy. Additional accessories are available for integration into the illumia systems for customers requiring specific application results.

The sole aim was to churn out practical solutions for varied business functions and pertinent challenges faced by the SMEs. The presence of over 500 SMEs at the finale ensured that it turned out to be a spectacular event.
Appreciating this initiative by IndiaMART.com and Zee Business, Hon'ble Union Minister for MSME, said, "This activity of taking note of contribution of MSMEs is taking momentum in the country.

We are producing outstanding business leaders with a heart to drive India forward. At Universal Business School we have the privileged counsel of 55 CEO's on our Board of Governors and a global Academic Council from Anderson (UCLA) and Stanford who have guided us through this journey."
