Enterprise Resource Management Solutions (ERM): 

If you are still operating off of spreadsheets, highlighting the order on a large indexed program of some sort, or even if you are working with a slower database style program, then you need to investigate the potential of ERM.

 

All businesses are searching for an improvement on their present system. Your system may be outdated on a multitude of fronts including these:

 

The scale of your business outpaces their data input and storage capabilities, and

Your company needs to input data from multiple locations,

Your company needs to have global access to the data,

You need more security, and

Your enterprise needs the ability to retrieve data in such a way to re-assess your business objectives

 

All of these objectives have become imperative. The need to go with proven technology which is both accurate and cost effective has become a focal point in businesses today.

 

Enterprise improvement to accountants includes spreadsheets, and calculations printed on paper, to dissect the organization and fit the statistics into formulas to assess the health of an organization. Manufacturing people say that enterprise improvement is improving performance in their personnel, buying a new piece of equipment to cut, drill, or modify material in a fast or more efficient manner, or maybe even go into lean manufacturing mode to improve processes and cut labor costs. Shipping personnel say that having a list of backup shippers, minimizing costs on shipping, creating a system whereby they have full control of what is going on is enterprise improvement.

 

Honestly, we can't get the answers to these situations from a spreadsheet or a form.

 

Business Process Outsourcing:

 

India is now globally well established as an IT services destination. In fact it is this success in the IT services sector that has empowered the country to take its initial steps into the IT-enabled outsourcing domain.

 

Over the past decade then, India has emerged as a preferred location for organizations planning to outsource a variety of services ranging from call centers and other customer interaction services, insurance claims processing, payroll processing, medical transcription, e-CRM, SCM to back-office operations such as accounting, data processing, and data mining.

 

NiLASOFT currently offers it services for ITES segmented along the following lines:

Middleware Solutions: 

The role of middleware is to ease the task of designing, programming and managing distributed applications by providing a simple, consistent and integrated distributed programming environment. Essentially, middleware is a distributed software layer, or ‘platform’ which abstracts over the complexity and heterogeneity of the underlying distributed environment with its multitude of network technologies, machine architectures, operating systems and programming languages.  

Different middleware platforms support different programming models. Perhaps the most popular model is object based middleware in which applications are structured into (potentially distributed) objects that interact via location transparent method invocation.

Prime examples of this type of middleware are the OMG's CORBA and Microsoft's Distributed COM. Both of these platforms offer an interface definition language (IDL) which is used to abstract over the fact that objects can be implemented in any suitable programming language, an object request broker which is responsible for transparently directing method invocations to the appropriate target object, and a set of services (e.g. naming, time, transactions, replication etc.) which further enhance the distributed programming environment.  

Not all middleware is object based, however. Two other popular paradigms are event based middleware and message oriented middleware both of which mainly employ ‘single shot’ communications rather than the request-reply style communication found in object based middleware. Event based middleware is particularly suited to the construction of non-centralized distributed applications that must monitor and react to changes in their environment. Examples are process control, Internet news channels and stock tracking. It is claimed that event based middleware has potentially better scaling properties for such applications than object based middleware. Message oriented middleware, on the other hand, is biased toward applications in which messages need to be persistently stored and queued. Workflow and messaging applications are good examples. 

Middleware has emerged as an important architectural component in modern distributed systems. Its role is to offer users a high-level, platform-independent programming model (object-oriented or component-based) and to hide problems of distribution. Examples of key middleware platforms include CORBA, DCOM, .NET, and the Java-based series of technologies (RMI, Jini, and EJB).  

Traditionally, organizations have deployed such platforms (with considerable success) in application domains such as banking and finance to tackle problems of heterogeneity and to support the integration of legacy systems. More recently, middleware technologies have been applied in a wider range of areas and situations, including safety-critical systems, mobile and ubiquitous computing, embedded systems, real-time systems, and the computational Grid. However, it is becoming apparent that current middleware technologies can't support such a diversity of application domains.

XML Applications: 

XML is a universal language for data on the Web that lets developers deliver content from a wide variety of applications to the desktop. XML promises to standardize the way information is searched for, exchanged, adaptively presented, and personalized. 

Data such as customer information, credit card transactions, purchase orders, and fulfillment requests can be converted to XML and shared across applications without changing legacy systems. XML can be used to exchange data between Web server and browser or between trading partners without the existing systems needing any prior description of the data's structure. 

In this report a brief description of the different components of XML and the method of deployment of XML architecture to the Web applications has been dealt with. 

XML Applications Areas:  

The applications that drives the acceptance of XML are those that cannot be accomplished within the limitations of HTML.  

These applications can be divided into three broad categories: 

Applications that require the Web client to mediate between two or more heterogeneous databases.

Applications that attempt to distribute a significant proportion of the processing load from the Web server to the Web client.

Applications that require the Web client to present different views of the same data to different users.  

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) : 

Search engine optimization is a viable marketing strategy that has been used successfully by savvy marketers to help launch online brands. Research findings reveal that the majority of people find sites through search engines and that search engine strategies are among the most successful marketing methods used. For example, here are a few of the latest stats we have gathered from various industry news sources.  

More than 75 percent of surfers use search engines to traverse the web, according to a RealNames Survey dated April 2000.  

Every day, 57 percent of all Netizens use a search engine, making searching the second most popular Internet activity. The only thing we do online more often than using search engines is checking our email, according to a study by Statistical Research, Inc.  

The last GVU (Graphics, Visualization & Usability) Center User Survey conducted reported that 84.8 percent of respondents found out about web pages from search engines.  

In the U.K., 81 percent of consumers find web sites through search engines (Forrester's biannual report on media usage in the U.K. as reported in Iconocast).  

The top 10 search engines have 147,000,000 unique visitors each month, a number that jumps over 10 percent every month (MediaMetrix, January 2000). We work long hours on client accounts, complying with search engine regulations, and getting clients registered in the major search engines and in the human directories as well. We find the right keyword phrases through which the client's web site can be found, and we optimize the site so it will be indexed. We also list clients on directories, following specific procedures, and calling a category editor when necessary.
