of you then?’
and ‘are you
well equipped to
hone newer

become. With

and stay ahead
is becoming even
stronger and

profile today
might not hold

perhaps! The

suffice to face
bigger

You may not be
concerned with
surviving beyond
the current
recession, but
you should be.
Reinvention
isn’t just for
people who are
unhappy in their
current jobs. In
order to have
long-term,
successful
careers, we all
must work
towards staying
marketable in
the future.
“Companies,
today, function
in a global
business
environment
wherein
geographical and
economic
barriers have
gotten blurred.
It is very
important for
individuals to
equip
themselves.

Technical
Brief:
Cloud
computing is here. Running
applications on machines in
an Internet-accessible data
center can bring plenty of
advantages. Yet wherever
they run, applications are
built on some kind of
platform. For on-premises
applications, this platform
usually includes an
operating system, some way
to store data, and perhaps
more. Applications running
in the cloud need a similar
foundation. The goal of
Microsoft’s Windows Azure is
to provide this. Part of the
larger Azure Services
Platform, Windows Azure is a
platform for running Windows
applications and storing
data in the cloud.
Cloud
computing is a style of
computing in which
dynamically scalable and
often virtualized resources
are provided as a service
over the Internet. To deploy
a new solution, most of your
time and energy is spent on
defining the right
infrastructure, hardware and
software, to put together to
create that solution,
Cloud computing allows
people to share resources to
solve new problems.
Cloud computing users can
avoid capital expenditure (CapEx)
on hardware, software, and
services when they pay a
provider only for what they
use.

35 per cent of the top
5,000 global companies
will regularly fail to
make insightful
decisions about
significant changes in
their business and

-

control at least 40 per
cent of the total budget
for business
intelligence.

By 2010,
20 per cent of
organizations will have
an industry-specific
analytic application
delivered via software
as a service as a
standard component of
their business
intelligence portfolio.
-
In 2009,
collaborative decision
making will emerge as a
new product category
that combines social
software with business
intelligence platform
capabilities.
By 2012,
one-third of analytic
applications applied to
business processes will be
delivered through
coarse-grained application
mashups.
