Steria enables First Fully-operational Payment Factory Worldwide
Noida, Uttar Pradesh, Pune, Maharashtra, Chennai,, Tamil Nadu, India, Thursday, August 29, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- In summary
To address the increase in the volume of banking transactions, Steria officially launches its unique and innovative e-money platform and aims at providing its members with sustained growth and high competitiveness. Thanks to Stecard, Steria's Front Office banking solution, our clients will be able to handle over 4 billion banking transactions each year.
As end users become an increasingly important source of revenue growth for the banking sector, competition in this market segment is hotting up. Banks are looking to acquire systems that enable unprecedented time to market, as well as bringing down transaction costs. To address this challenge, La Banque Postale and Société Générale have set up Transactis, a shared payment factory that relies heavily on leveraging Steria's Stecard solution. One of the key advantages of this highly flexible and agile solution is that it allows the rapid development of new banking solutions to foster customer loyalty and expand the organisation's existing customer base.
Already used by La Banque Postale before the creation of the shared payment factory, Stecard is now being used to perform front office operations for Transactis. Steria manages the authorisations that enable end users' day-to-day transactions such as withdrawals and payments across 11,000 ATMs (comprising one fifth of all French cashpoints), 170 000 payment terminals and 20 million cards. These transactions sum up to 4 billion annually.
With more than 25 years' experience in the payments industry and 500 skilled professionals specialised in payments around the world, Steria has been a driving force behind this innovative project from the start - since its initial design in 2008 - right through to deployment of operations today. Now fully operational, Transactis is the first fully-shared payment factory in the world. In 2012, Crédit du Nord began to migrate to a platform for remote transaction processing, which was also handled by Steria.
"Our high degree of involvement in the banking sector and e-money has enabled us to combine the very best from two leading players in banking: La Banque Postale and Société Générale. Steria has done more than any other player to bring together their respective strengths, develop new and innovative functionalities, and create levels of synergy that are unprecedented for this type of initiative," said Jean-François Mansart, Head of Steria France's Advanced Payments department. "With Stecard as its one-stop solution, Transactis can enjoy all the benefits offered by a flexible, optimised system. Stecard's native multi-bank capability is a real asset, simplifying each bank's environment and allowing Front Office function management to be fully shared by all users."
"Steria's ability and strong commitment to meet our needs have been key factors in the success of our e-money factory project, despite the additional complications involved in providing a multi-bank solution," agreed Alain Nicaud, CEO of Transactis until mid-June 2013.

First in Asia, Intra Operative 3D Radioguided Surgery System at HCG
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Thursday, August 29, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- HealthCare Global Enterprises Ltd, The Specialist in Cancer Care, today organized a press conference on treating cancer patients for the 1st time in Asia, with Intra Operative 3D Radioguided Surgery System (SurgicEye).
Dr. Joerg Traub, Inventor & Founder, SurgicEye GmbH, said, "I am impressed by the quality of service and the patient centered approach of HCG and I am convinced that HCG is the best location for the first declipseSPECT installation in Asia. The declipseSPECT will add one more innovation to HCG's high quality service, providing 3D imaging and guidance support for least invasive surgery and quality assurance in the operating room to document the complete removal."
Dr. Mahesh Bandemegal, Consultant, Surgical Oncologist, HCG, said, "The usage and benefits of declipseSPECT are varied. This new technology helps us to identify & image the sentinel node intraoperatively. This will help us in accurate localization of lymph node with smaller incisions. Mainly used for Breast Cancer, Skin Cancer, Oral Cancer, Gynecological. It is the most accurate way of detecting and avoiding false negativity. "
Dr. Krithika Murugan, Consultant, Surgical Oncologist, HCG, further stressed on the importance of this technology and added, "Traditionally we were using the Sentinel (Gamma) probe to locate the sentinel lymph node, the accuracy of this was less desirable and involved subjective guesswork on the part of the surgeon. The declipseSPECT, on the other hand, makes this process easier, as it not only gives a 3D location of the lymph node, but also tells the surgeon of the accurate depth at which the lymph node can be found. It is therefore, an excellent navigation tool which helps in negating unnecessary taking out of additional nymph nodes. It is also helpful in localizing very early lesions of the breast not clinically palpable using the ROLL technique."
declipseSPECT:
The declipseSpect is a freehand SPECT device intraoperative 3D imaging for radioguided surgery.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a method used as a minimally invasive procedure to find the first nodes in the lymphatic system in the drain of the tumor as an indicator for precise tumor staging. Monitoring the lymphatic system and especially lymph nodes is a very efficient way of treating many types of cancers, as malignant cells use this network to spread throughout the patient's body.
Benefits include: Intuitive and direct access through 3D imaging and depth information, quality assurance through image confirmation of complete resection, increased accuracy and resection control through 3D image viewing and anatomical future. This can facilitate smaller scars, less trauma/morbidity and shorter operation time.

Evolving Sources of News for Journalists - "#MediaInsights Report"
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Thursday, August 29, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- -- Research jointly conducted by 20:20 MSL and IIMC to study the changing patterns of news sourcing by journalists, especially with the advent of social media
In an attempt to demystify the rapidly evolving media universe in India and shed light on the growing appeal of new-age alternatives to the press release, 20:20 MSL (part of MSLGROUP, Publicis Groupe's strategic communications and engagement consultancy and the largest PR network in India) in strong collaboration with the Advertising & Public Relations Department of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) today launched the "#MediaInsights report", the first-of-its kind research to arrive at insights that would benefit India's media and communications industry.
When a piping hot story is on the anvil, only one in eleven journalists would use more than half the press releases that flood their email inboxes. Internal brainstorming sessions remain the most preferred among many, when it comes to exercising their grey cells in the newsroom. An emphasis on the diversity of content from the media has driven a series of compelling changes in the conventions of news sourcing among journalists and other media professionals. The public sentiments that are considered in constructing a story, the advent of the social media space as a hub for story ideas and extensive use of official websites to cull out authentic data are some of the most striking industry-wide changes that the report has highlighted.
Commenting on the report, Mr. Chetan Mahajan, Managing Director, 20:20 MSL said, "It is imperative for a next generation insights-driven agency to understand the media environment in order to be a strategic advisor to the stakeholders. We jointly conducted this research with IIMC, in order to get insights to address the gap between news-makers, news-consumers and the media. The report has successfully mapped the changes and brought out some compelling facts. I believe that this report will help PR practitioners in best aligning their strategies and tactics."
Mr. Sunit Tandon, Director General, Indian Institute of Mass Communication welcomed the report as "the first in a series of such studies that would be useful for all who are interested in understanding the rapidly changing contours and dynamics of the Indian news media sector."
The research was conducted with a stratified sample of 309 journalists nationwide cutting across age, gender, specialization etc. The report also focuses on several statistical data sets including the following:
(i) The ratio of stories produced by senior correspondents to those filed by young reporters
(ii) The frequency of social media usage in newsrooms, and
(iii) The reliance that journalists place on the Internet for sourcing news
(iv) The male versus women reporters' behavior towards different news sources

BWI: S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH Presents on PetPoint Tradeshow Extensive Product Portfolio

S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH Presents on PetPoint Tradeshow Extensive Product Portfolio
Proven recycling technology makes it possible to produce PET bottles from PET bottles
Schonberg, Germany, Thursday, August 29, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- At the PETpoint 2013 trade fair that will be held in Munich from 16 to 20 September 2013, S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH in hall B3, stand 302, presents an extensive product portfolio: Sorting systems for the recycling of used PET packaging, and inductive metal separators that for example are used in the injection-moulding of PET preforms or caps. The trade fair highlight is the FLAKE PURIFIER system for the sorting of PET flakes.
The FLAKE PURIFIER was for the first time presented to trade visitors at the PETpoint 2009, and since that time the system has found widespread use by many PET recyclers all over the world. Based on a modular concept, up to three sensors for contaminant detection can be combined in this system. Apart from sensors for metal and colour separation, the FLAKE PURIFIER system also features a high-performance module for the detection of contaminant materials, including different types of plastics. For example, PVC contents or bioplastics such as PLA, which otherwise would mean a considerably reduced quality of the recycled material or even would render high-quality recycling impossible, can be removed from PET flakes. The intelligent combination with camera sensors makes it possible to identify incorrect colours even with slightest colour shade differences. Metal particles are detected by inductive sensors. An air-blast unit that is matched to the application ensures the reliable and efficient (little loss of good material, reduced compressed-air requirements) separation of unwanted particles.
The FLAKE PURIFIER features a compact modular design and high energy efficiency, because it for example does not require separate cooling. When the sorting tasks change, systems with only one sensor at any time can be upgraded to higher-performance systems. Altogether the sorting system is a cost-efficient solution that guarantees high-quality, food-grade recycling raw materials.
Says Michael Perl, manager of the sorting business unit at S+S, on the product portfolio that S+S presents at the PETpoint 2013: "Apart from the main focus of PET recycling we also present systems for quality assurance in PET production. It is the strong point of S+S that we can provide comprehensive and technically sophisticated inspection and separation solutions both for customers in the fields of plastics production and processing, as well as for plastics recyclers."
S+S - an overview
S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH of Schonberg, Bavaria, manufactures machines and systems for the detection/separation of contaminants, for product inspection, and for the sorting of material flows. Product sales primarily focus on the food, plastics, chemical, pharmaceutical, wood, textile, and recycling industries. S+S is one of the world's leading suppliers with subsidiaries in Great Britain, France, Italy, India, China, Singapore, and in the USA, a representative office in Turkey, and more than 40 agencies all over the world. The S+S group presently has 350 employees, about 300 are working at the main factory in Schonberg. The consolidated turnover in 2012 amounted to approx. Euro 43 million.

S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH Presents on PetPoint Tradeshow Extensive Product Portfolio
Proven recycling technology makes it possible to produce PET bottles from PET bottles
Schonberg, Germany, Thursday, August 29, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- At the PETpoint 2013 trade fair that will be held in Munich from 16 to 20 September 2013, S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH in hall B3, stand 302, presents an extensive product portfolio: Sorting systems for the recycling of used PET packaging, and inductive metal separators that for example are used in the injection-moulding of PET preforms or caps. The trade fair highlight is the FLAKE PURIFIER system for the sorting of PET flakes.
The FLAKE PURIFIER was for the first time presented to trade visitors at the PETpoint 2009, and since that time the system has found widespread use by many PET recyclers all over the world. Based on a modular concept, up to three sensors for contaminant detection can be combined in this system. Apart from sensors for metal and colour separation, the FLAKE PURIFIER system also features a high-performance module for the detection of contaminant materials, including different types of plastics. For example, PVC contents or bioplastics such as PLA, which otherwise would mean a considerably reduced quality of the recycled material or even would render high-quality recycling impossible, can be removed from PET flakes. The intelligent combination with camera sensors makes it possible to identify incorrect colours even with slightest colour shade differences. Metal particles are detected by inductive sensors. An air-blast unit that is matched to the application ensures the reliable and efficient (little loss of good material, reduced compressed-air requirements) separation of unwanted particles.
The FLAKE PURIFIER features a compact modular design and high energy efficiency, because it for example does not require separate cooling. When the sorting tasks change, systems with only one sensor at any time can be upgraded to higher-performance systems. Altogether the sorting system is a cost-efficient solution that guarantees high-quality, food-grade recycling raw materials.
Says Michael Perl, manager of the sorting business unit at S+S, on the product portfolio that S+S presents at the PETpoint 2013: "Apart from the main focus of PET recycling we also present systems for quality assurance in PET production. It is the strong point of S+S that we can provide comprehensive and technically sophisticated inspection and separation solutions both for customers in the fields of plastics production and processing, as well as for plastics recyclers."
S+S - an overview
S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH of Schonberg, Bavaria, manufactures machines and systems for the detection/separation of contaminants, for product inspection, and for the sorting of material flows. Product sales primarily focus on the food, plastics, chemical, pharmaceutical, wood, textile, and recycling industries.

Customer Growth Spikes 86% as GoDaddy Hits 1-Year Mark in India
Successful Solutions for India's Small Businesses & Reseller Growth Drive Dramatic Results
Gurgaon, Haryana, India, Thursday, August 29, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- GoDaddy today announced its India customer base has increased by 86 percent since opening a customer care center here in India last summer. The local support team is based in Hyderabad and is now assisting customers around the clock, every day of the year, even on holidays.
GoDaddy has helped thousands of India's small businesses grow and thrive online with the benefit of tools designed to create effortlessly beautiful digital identities. Over the last year, GoDaddy's support teams in India have handled more than 250,000 local inbound customer calls, helping make it easy for customers to establish their online presence.
"GoDaddy has seen the passion and drive of the Indian people in ways that are absolutely inspiring - from the owner of a small retail store to a local taxi driver who each built websites to attract new customers," said GoDaddy International Senior Vice President James Carroll, who is in India to announce the one year anniversary. "Seeing so many customer success stories in India proves how quickly businesses can benefit from being online and how easy it can be. GoDaddy selected India as a priority market last year and now we are using India as a blueprint for our expansion into other global markets."
Sanjay Tilala is another example that illustrates the benefits to GoDaddy's personalized service offerings. Tilala is the Managing Director of a machine tools manufacturing company that created its own website, JayKhodiyarAgrotech.com. "In addition to the competitive prices and products, one of the primary drivers for me choosing GoDaddy is the excellent customer service. My queries get resolved immediately in the most efficient manner with the best advice possible. GoDaddy understands my needs and is an excellent business partner."
GoDaddy is the world's top platform for small businesses and began offering .IN domain names in January 2009. Last year, GoDaddy launched its full-scale operations in India, now the company's largest international office.
"GoDaddy has successfully managed to help small businesses and entrepreneurs grow their businesses," said GoDaddy India Managing Director and Vice President Rajiv Sodhi. "What sets GoDaddy apart from other Internet providers, the key ingredient, is our customer service and the variety of products that create a one-stop shop for small businesses to be successful."
A key area of focus for GoDaddy in India is expanding its partner ecosystem. The GoDaddy Reseller network enables others to make money by offering domain names and Web hosting to their own customers - making it easy to leverage GoDaddy's customer care and infrastructure for their customers. GoDaddy's Reseller network has grown 88 percent in India since last year. Sodhi added, "Our goal is to provide small business owners the resources they need to build the digital identities they want - whether that means offering them do-it-yourself tools or helping connect them with partners who can 'do-it-for-them'. That is why our overall strategy is to ensure we provide marketing and sales support to our partners. We are here to help these resellers grow their business with us."
GoDaddy is finding creative ways to show entrepreneurs and small business owners that building an online presence doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. Since launching on the ground in India, GoDaddy has connected with customers in a very personal way. A prime example is the recent "Cup of Coffee" campaign that demystified the process of leveraging the Internet by providing actual door-to-door demonstrations to show small businesses exactly how to get online. Professionally trained GoDaddy experts and GoDaddy Resellers engaged with prospective clients to demonstrate how beautiful websites can be built quickly. These personalized initiatives have helped fuel GoDaddy's unprecedented growth.
GoDaddy is based in Scottsdale, Ariz. USA. Internationally, along with offices in India and Canada, GoDaddy operates data center facilities in Europe and Asia and serves 12 million paying customers globally.

BWI: Zyfin Launches India’s First Monthly GDP Growth Indicator (MGGI)
Press release from Business Wire India
Source: ZyFin

Zyfin Launches India's First Monthly GDP Growth Indicator (MGGI)
Estimates Q1 FY'14 (or Q2CY'14) GDP growth at 4.3%, well below consensus estimates of 5% signaling Indian economy in deep crisis
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, August 29, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- ZyFin, formerly known as BluFin, which has introduced monthly macroeconomic lead indicators that track consumer outlook and the business cycle in India, has today announced the launch of Monthly GDP Growth Indicator (GGI) - India's first and only lead indicator to estimate India's GDP numbers on a sequential month on month basis with seasonal adjustments.
The GDP Growth Indicator, which has been launched coincident with the release of the official quarterly GDP growth data, has estimated year-on year (YoY) growth at 4.3% for the quarter ended June 2013, which is well below the broad consensus estimates of 5%.
ZyFin's estimates suggest that YoY growth in the first two quarters of this calendar year would be the seventh worst on record since the introduction of GDP quarterly data in 1996 and the lowest since 2002.
The silver lining however is on the inflation front. ZyFin's GDP Growth Indicator, which tracks inflation on the basis of the GDP deflator, has witnessed a collapse in the sequential GDP deflator inflation from 6.7% in Q4 FY'13 (or Q1 CY'13) to a Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of 1.7% in Q1 FY'14 (or Q2 CY'13) with the monthly estimate for June at 0%. ZyFin estimates that inflation for the year would fall below 6% for the first time since the year 2007, excluding the crisis quarters of 2009.
Commenting on the launch of the indicator, Dr. Surjit S Bhalla, Senior Advisor, ZyFin said "ZyFin has developed a more advanced and immediate model for looking at the GDP by launching this monthly indicator and has thus enabled India to take a giant step away from its present state of data darkness."
Comparing the GDP Growth Indicator data with the official GDP estimates, Dr. Bhalla mentioned "The official quarterly year-on-year real and nominal estimates of GDP are helpful in deriving estimates for the implicit GDP deflator alone, but these figures don't meet the purpose of informing investors about the economy's present status. This is because three fourths of the figures have already been reported and contained in a year-on-year estimate." "Data reporting in developed economies such as the US is done only in sequential terms they are first adjusted for seasonality. This makes comparisons more realistic and computation of sequential annualized growth rates possible", he added.
There are four components of our GDP growth estimate. They are (with approximate weights in parentheses): Agriculture (19%), Manufacturing (15%), Construction (7%) and Services (59%). All sectors have contributed to this sequential low growth of 4.2% , with manufacturing being the biggest culprit. This sector registered negative growth of -0.6% SAAR in the second quarter. Construction was also a drag on growth, registering a SAAR of around 2.6 percent, less than half its long run average of 7 percent. Service sector growth slowed down as well to 6.3% SAAR, well below its long run and expected average of 9% SAAR.
Giving his insights into the Q1 estimates, Debopam Chaudhuri, VP Research, ZyFin observed, "The decline in manufacturing sector in June quarter was expected given the slowdown in intermediate sector observed since April 2013, with production of raw metals like copper, aluminum and pig iron shrinking compared to the previous year." Highlighting the negative trend, he went on to add "If one were to take the IIP data and the conventional annual year-on-year growth, one obtains a negative growth rate of -1.5 % SAAR for Q1 FY' 14 (or Q2 CY'13); the third most negative on record for the manufacturing sector. The latest numbers of ZyFin's Business Cycle Indicator have signaled caution, and the sequential GDP estimate for Q1 FY14 confirms the occurrence of a sharp deceleration from the near 8 % level witnessed in Q4 FY13."
The ZyFin GDP Growth indicator (GGI) would be released on the first working day post the 20th of every month and is aimed to aid in policy making and timely investment decision making.

ZyFin's GDP Growth Indicator, which tracks inflation on the basis of the GDP deflator, has witnessed a collapse in the sequential GDP deflator inflation from 6.7% in Q4 FY'13 (or Q1 CY'13) to a Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of 1.7% in Q1 FY'14 (or Q2 CY'13) with the monthly estimate for June at 0%. ZyFin estimates that inflation for the year would fall below 6% for the first time since the year 2007, excluding the crisis quarters of 2009.
Commenting on the launch of the indicator, Dr. Surjit S Bhalla, Senior Advisor, ZyFin said "ZyFin has developed a more advanced and immediate model for looking at the GDP by launching this monthly indicator and has thus enabled India to take a giant step away from its present state of data darkness."
Comparing the GDP Growth Indicator data with the official GDP estimates, Dr. Bhalla mentioned "The official quarterly year-on-year real and nominal estimates of GDP are helpful in deriving estimates for the implicit GDP deflator alone, but these figures don't meet the purpose of informing investors about the economy's present status. This is because three fourths of the figures have already been reported and contained in a year-on-year estimate." "Data reporting in developed economies such as the US is done only in sequential terms they are first adjusted for seasonality. This makes comparisons more realistic and computation of sequential annualized growth rates possible", he added.
There are four components of our GDP growth estimate. They are (with approximate weights in parentheses): Agriculture (19%), Manufacturing (15%), Construction (7%) and Services (59%). All sectors have contributed to this sequential low growth of 4.2% , with manufacturing being the biggest culprit. This sector registered negative growth of -0.6% SAAR in the second quarter. Construction was also a drag on growth, registering a SAAR of around 2.6 percent, less than half its long run average of 7 percent. Service sector growth slowed down as well to 6.3% SAAR, well below its long run and expected average of 9% SAAR.
Giving his insights into the Q1 estimates, Debopam Chaudhuri, VP Research, ZyFin observed, "The decline in manufacturing sector in June quarter was expected given the slowdown in intermediate sector observed since April 2013, with production of raw metals like copper, aluminum and pig iron shrinking compared to the previous year." Highlighting the negative trend, he went on to add "If one were to take the IIP data and the conventional annual year-on-year growth, one obtains a negative growth rate of -1.5 % SAAR for Q1 FY' 14 (or Q2 CY'13); the third most negative on record for the manufacturing sector. The latest numbers of ZyFin's Business Cycle Indicator have signaled caution, and the sequential GDP estimate for Q1 FY14 confirms the occurrence of a sharp deceleration from the near 8 % level witnessed in Q4 FY13."
The ZyFin GDP Growth indicator (GGI) would be released on the first working day post the 20th of every month and is aimed to aid in policy making and timely investment decision making.
