Author Krishna Kumar, Group Editor with CyberMedia (India), in the magazine's cover story "15 Services to keep your IT costs down" identified 15 business functions (like CRM, Sales Management, HRMS (Human Resources Management System), market research surveys etc) where application of SaaS software can help organizations bring down the cost of IT services. Prominent SaaS services that were covered in this article include Salesforce.com, Google Analytics, SAP, EmpXtrack and others.

He cites many advantages of SaaS technology and says, "SaaS takes away your investments, which in most cases can be fairly heavy, and converts that into smaller monthly payouts that would be easier to organize and manage. As your business scales up, (or God forbid, down), you can change your usage slab and payouts, mostly instantaneously. There is no lead time to buy and install new systems nor are there any associated capital costs. Finally, you are free to concentrate on your business and not on how to get a particular software or hardware working".

Under Human Resources Management category, EmpXtrack emerged as a leader of SaaS technology amongst other players in its domain. "EmpXtrack from Saigun offers Employee Performance Management, HRMS, Applicant Tracking, Employee Self Services (leave tracking, HR help desk, employee handbook, personal data update), Employee Portal and Appraisal as a managed package.” Visit EmpXtrack’s benefits section for further details on how EmpXtrack can contribute to your business and for its free demo.

MAAC Creative Shop-a first ever initiative in the animation industry, offers a platform to young creative talent to create original concepts and market them to producers for licensing/co-development. Under MAAC Creative Shop, students of MAAC can create content ideas for all platforms including TV, home video, films, mobile, gaming and other new media streams. A committee headed by Sanjiv Waerkar will shortlist concepts based on a host of parameters and develop them for the market.

Short-listed concepts will be presented in “pre-launch kits” (comprising of the script, key character designs and a three to five minute promo fully animated and developed) and marketed to producers by MAAC.

Announcing the initiative, Ronald D’Mello, Managing Director, MEL said, “It is our privilege to rope in Sanjiv into MAAC. Talent creation in the animation industry in India suffers from lack of creative orientation. MAAC has been pioneering various initiatives to make the students more creatively oriented. MAAC Creative Shop is a new innovative initiative that will, for the first time in India, trigger a pool of original content ideas indigenously developed in India and commercially exploited in association with industry.”

“We expect to generate five original concepts under MAAC Creative Shop initially and to present the pre-launch kits for these concepts to producers in the first 12 months of the initiative. We see enormous scope in the film & entertainment sector, including gaming, to absorb the new concepts created under MAAC Creative Shop”, Sanjiv Waerkar, Chief Creative Officer, MAAC, added.

Over the last one year there is growing realization amongst Indian studios to develop and own IP’s of content versus just doing service outsourcing business for overseas clients. Coupled with the fact that India is expected to be one of the dominant consumers of new media, animation and gaming content in future years given its demographic skew towards younger age population, will lead to vast content development opportunities arising out of India for Indian and overseas markets

According to FICCI estimates, the animation industry is expected to grow to Rs 4,300 crore by year 2009. Although the overall media and entertainment sector-the mainstay of the animation industry, is growing rapidly, the gaming industry is expected to grow exponentially to Rs 1,350 crore by the year 2009.

Sanjiv Waerkar, “Chief Creative Officer”, MAAC

Sanjiv will be heading the Academic development team at MAAC and also spearheading “MAAC Creative Shop”.

With over 17 years in the animation industry, Sanjiv can easily be called as a pioneer and a driving force in the animation industry. RMB, where Sanjiv was a partner, was rated the best in the industry and was the only animation studio to have won three consecutive IFFA awards, including the 2002 Excellence in Animation Award for “Meena in the city”. Subsequently, the years with UTV saw him directing several international award winning TV series. “Tree Monsters”, “Dr. Disaster”, 3D home DVD series, with popular titles like Robinhood, King Kong, Christmas Carol and Three Musketeers, a fully developed award winning show from pre-production to final delivery for the Middle East called “Freej” for Lamtara productions, a TV show for NBC / Entertainment Rights, Mike Young Productions DVD feature “Bratz Super Babyz”, “The ring of fire”-a 2D TV series for Disney to name a few.

At a very low hosting fee, CYBRARIAN provides users facilities like Software Usage, Secured Data Storage & Management, Virus Protection, Backups, Patch Management, Product Updates, Technical Support, Maintenance etc. CYBRARIAN follows all the international standards like MARC21, Z39.50, AACR2, MARCXML, ISO 2079 etc. and is having UNICODE (Multilingual) facility. The most attractive feature of CYBRARIANTM is that librarians or Resource Centre Manager can customize the application as per their requirements without the help or need from the software vendor. Moreover, the reports can also be self-customized.”

“CYBRARIAN also allows the member libraries to form or create their own network of libraries from similar related subjects / background / industries for resource sharing by collecting, storing & disseminating information and would offer networked services like information about resources scattered in the libraries throughout the world, referencing materials to meet the requirements of students, researchers, scholars & the general public, Inter Library Loan etc. without incurring any extra cost, “ said Sohaon K., Chief Operating Officer of the company.

“CYBRARIAN is the result of 10+ man years of research & development and helps libraries to reduce their OPEX by 80-90%.

A further 50 percent reduction in incidents expected in 2008.EDS’ first client implementation of the BMC Atrium CMDB was for one of Australia’s largest commercial institutions. In less than twelve months, EDS fed more than 225,000 configuration items (CIs) from the organisation’s IT infrastructure into the BMC Atrium CMDB. That process produced an accurate central view of the organisation’s IT environment, enabling EDS to meet and exceed the terms of the service level agreements with its client.Dr. Tony Parsons, executive director of EDS Asia Pacific’s service management capability program, said: “Our clients expect EDS to know service management and deliver consistent, high quality solutions and services. A standard approach to service management is critical to continually improving service levels and exceeding our customers’ growing expectations. To achieve these goals, we have made the BMC Atrium CMDB the cornerstone of our service management delivery. As a result, we can detect problems faster, understand the cause and effect, validate the impact and then fix and restore service with minimal impact to the business.” The standardisation is a key part of EDS’ push to improve its global delivery capability by centralising functions across six Centres of Excellence worldwide. Leveraging EDS’ standardised approach to service management delivery across the globe, the EDS Centre of Excellence for Asia Pacific -- located in Burwood, Australia – has fully adopted and implemented the BMC Atrium CMDB for client implementations. EDS Asia Pacific plans to roll out the BMC Atrium CMDB across its client portfolio.

“BMC and EDS enjoy a very strong partnership in Asia Pacific and our mutual customers are no longer looking for organisations to manage a patchwork IT infrastructure. They need a central view of the overall IT environment that maps directly to the business services they support. Without a CMDB, this isn’t possible,” Mike Davies, BMC’s managing director for Australia and New Zealand. “BMC and EDS are leading the way in delivering the technology and services for this crucial alignment enabling the management of client infrastructures faster, proactively, and more effectively.”

IDBI Capital Market Services Ltd has invested an amount of Rs 3.72 crores in the equity Share capital of the company by subscribing to 3,10,000 Equity shares of Rs 10 each at Rs 120 per Equity share. Vishal proposes to utilize the net proceeds of the Issue to part finance the cost of the proposed expansion of the facilities in Chennai and the cost of setting up of Quality Assurance Center and Marketing office in Mumbai. The expansion includes increasing Data digitalization seats from present 250 to 450, E-publishing seats from 150 to 250 and Digital Library seats from 75 to 100. The issue proceeds would also be utilized for setting up of subsidiaries in UK and USA.

Presently the Company operates from leased facilities in Chennai and Mumbai with approximately 475 workstations. As part of the expansion plans, the Company intends to set up new facilities to support the increase in business from existing and new clients.

Majority of the Company’s business is predominantly sourced from the United Kingdom and United States of America through tenders floated by the various government authorities, educational institutes, etc. Presently it does not have any presence in the UK and USA which many a times acts as hindrance for getting the work allotted.
