...choosing this option to weather the economic storm,' said Priti Verma, Research Associate for Research and Consultancy at AMI-Partners, Bangalore. "More India medium businesses (MB, companies with 100-999 employees) are adopting SaaS than their SB counterparts. 'Manufacturing leads in accounting software spending among India MB verticals whereas professional service firms lead the India SBs in this spending category. Most India SMBs are still using standalone accounting software, as opposed to using accounting software that is not part of a larger suite.' Accounting software is becoming more scalable and has been redesigned to suit larger businesses as well as the small and medium-business model. Organizations are implementing web-based accounting software, which helps them in integrating the workflow and consolidation of work tasks. 'Businesses are no longer looking for a plain vanilla financial accounting package; instead they want an overall solution for financial management,' Verma said. 'We see companies which have been using standalone financial accounting systems are now migrating to the integrated solutions as they are realizing the limitations of standalone products.' Accounting software is now addressing more complex issues such as supply chain logistics, RFID, inventory and distribution."
Ray Vuono, Chief Executive Officer of MedLink, stated, "We've seen a tremendous increase in interest in the MedLink EHR through some of the state and federal initiatives MedLink is involved in, that provide subsidies for the implementation and software costs associated with the purchase of an EHR. The SaaS model allows for practices to reduce the upfront investment in hardware and scale that investment into additional training and other services which ultimately will provide for a quicker ROI for the practice."
...The IP focuses on building a new user interface for businesses in the LMM spaceâ$ "to further stimulate ease of use, providing multi-lingual help, and an instant implementation methodology. All of this while still maintaining the robustness of ERP, which is scalable with the growth of the business. The solution will also be compellingly priced. This initiative, together with Microsofts help, will soon be ready for launch, adds Mian. Cloud computing and SaaS is another area that Mian is considering investing in for the future. According to him, both are very important paradigms and CRM applications are relatively easy to move on SaaS. However, businesses are still not comfortable moving their financial accounting to the cloud due to concerns about data security. However, with time as the cloud computing model matures, adoption rates will increase. The on-premise solutions, however, have their own space, and are unlikely to go away completely in the foreseeable future. The person Some of Mians other interests include Yoga, old hindi film songs and reading. I prefer management books like Verne Harnishs Mastering the Rockefeller Habits and Bradford Smiths Topgrading for sales. One of the most interesting books I have read recently is Demonstrating to Win by Robert Riefstahl. It talks about how software professionals demonstrate software products poorly and how they can better that. Mian gives a lot of credit for his success to his family, especially his wife. My wife, who is a gynecologist, supported me even in the most testing times and in decisions which might have then seemed completely irrational. It was because of her that I was able to take all the risks and achieve success, concludes Mian. On October 22, Microsoft launched its Windows 7 OS. While reviews for the product have been positive, what is intriguing is that Microsoft is yet to announce the MRP for the home edition in India More Leoxsys Networks has launched its wireless-N storage router LEO-150N-BT, with inbuilt Bit Torrent, HTTP and FTP support More"
