Top 5 reasons, Why Outsource?
| Top 5 reasons, Why Outsource? |
| 1. Significant cost advantages :Undoubtedly, this is one of the key reasons for you to even consider outsourcing. Outsourcing arrangements enable you to reduce fixed costs and leverage the scalability of the service providers. A study by Bersin Associates: What Works, estimates savings between 20-40% by outsourcing to India. It could be even more in some cases. Whether you are a corporate or a training company, you could gain from outsourcing (parts or full) projects to India. Of course you would need to choose a good vendor.
2. Scalability without headaches :Outsourcing could help your team to be scalable – on demand. You could engage a team of 5 or 50 or 500 depending on your needs without having to worry about hiring, retention, firing etc. The vendor would manage everything including their training and providing replacement resources. This is hugely important for smaller companies given the kind of business environment we find ourselves in. It also helps in starting projects quickly, ramping up the team much faster, sometimes even putting the project on hold without much additional costs. 3. Better quality through innovation: Your vendor is better placed to deliver better quality – assuming you selected a good vendor to start with – on a consistent basis. This is a natural outcome of the continuous improvement that happens as your vendor’s team handles more projects of different kinds for diverse clients. That experience helps them anticipate problems in advance, troubleshoot better when needed, and also propose value added inputs based on their previous experiences. Chances are you can rely on your vendor (much more than you can on your internal team) to be ready with cutting-edge solutions. 4. More reliability on project completion :Often the company that you outsource to does specialize some domain as its core business. Consequently, all its processes and systems are specifically defined and well geared up to deliver specialized products / projects. There is almost no chance of those resources being diverted to some other ‘more important’ tasks. That’s common when working with internal project teams. This reliability could mean a lot for certain critical training programs. 5. Focus on Core-Strategic Goals :Outsourcing helps bring greater focus to the core or strategic tasks of your training function – without sacrificing quality or service. You would better spend your energies on planning for future about how the organization and its business is changing, what skills are required now (& in future), and how best to make those skills available; evaluating success of training programs mapping them against business results, improving the whole training and development function to align it with business needs; and implementing organization cultural change plans to get it ready for the coming decade. These are tasks which only you can perform. |

Tips for Better Sites
1. Draw the line between design and implementation
It takes a wide range of skills to build a leading-edge web site. If you want to focus on design and content, you need to have a clear plan for where to draw the line between design and implementation, and how the sites are going to be implemented.
2. Think in terms of information architecture
It is tempting to think of a web site as a collection of pages, each with an assortment of content placed on it. That is, after all, how things work in the physical world. If the site you are building is more than a few pages, though, you’ll be able to create much better results with less effort if when you think in terms of the data patterns that underlie the site’s content.
3. Pick the best CMS for your needs
All but the very simplest of sites should be built in a content management system. A CMS makes adding content, and keeping it updated, much easier. To choose the best one for you, you need to understand the pros and cons of hosted vs. self-hosted, and open-source vs. commercial soltuions.
4. Know What jQuery Can Do for You
Interactivity is what brings the web to life. Most interactions on the web are powered by JavaScript, a powerful programming language that nearly all browsers support. The jQuery library makes common JavaScript web page interactions simple. Even if you are contracting your programming work to others, you’ll be most effective as a designer if you understand what’s easily implemented with jQuery.
5. Drive traffic with SEO and social media
Most web site owners want their sites to be found – they’re investing in their sites to attract an audience, whether they be customers, fans, or converts. To do so, you need to integrate the site with social media, and pay attention to SEO.

Our Methodologies
In developing our project execution model, we at iBtions Infologies adhere to standards that make the project flow easy and transparent for the client. Every project has its 5 stages, which are:
1. Inception
2. Requirements Management
3. Software Solution Development
4. Product Integration
5. Quality Assurance
Inception
This is when the initial requirements collection takes place – our business analysts and software architects will carefully study your requirements to prepare a comprehensive proposal. You don’t have to provide us with structured documentation. Just let us know your thoughts and expectations, and our specialists will work on defining all the details by asking you some questions and offering our ideas on your project. The proposal is free for you and has no obligations.
Requirements Management
At this stage we will clearly describe your requirements in project documentation. Our specialists will prepare a proposal describing the product’s performance, technologies, design, features, verification requirements, etc. as well as the estimation of workload and cost of the project.
The requirements management allows for the activities for obtaining and controlling requirement changes and ensuring that other relevant plans and data are kept current. Requirements management continues all through the project, culminating in the comparison of the product against the requirements.
Software Solution Development
The software solution development is the greatest stage of the project where most of the programming, coding and testing takes place.
Product Integration
At the Product Integration stage we define the best possible integration sequence, integrate product components and deliver the product to the client.
Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance is an essential part of any project, which ensures the top quality of our solutions. This is a complicated process, which takes place at all other stages of the project and includes the following activities:
1. Strong project management
2. Transparent project flow
3. Well-defined requirements and structured project documentation
4. Deep testing, bug-tracking and fixing
5. Process monitoring, product evaluation in regard to the specified requirements and client expectations
6. Usability analysis
7. Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Protection

Entrepreneurs think BIG !
One of the dilemmas I think a would be entrepreneur might face is whether to “think small” or to “think big”.
Think Small:
Considering you have never tried your hand at entrepreneurship earlier, have finally gathered the courage to say good bye to the corporate world and are in times of self-doubt, you may find comfort in thinking small – “to do the doable”. Thinking small would mean being conventional in terms of value of the solutions or services, impact, size, scale, investments and returns. The would be entrepreneur might be ok with it because that’s what he thinks he’s most comfortable or confident with. And everything starts small (bottom-up) anyways. On the other hand the ‘think small’ attitude might lead one to question is it really worth leaving the comfort zone. ‘play-it-safe’ versus ‘are the returns of thinking small really worth pursuing?’
Think Big:
We know returns on efforts are directly proportional to one’s ability to think big. Thinking big will lead to a proportionate sized effort and hopefully returns. However for one used to working in a ‘do-as-directed-mode’ in the corporate world, ‘think big’ might be very overwhelming and could potentially scare the would be entrepreneur from taking the plunge.
We all know if we are thinking then might as well think big, however at the same time how do we ensure it does not scare the first timers off? How can a smooth and confident transition be made from the think small to think big? What are your thoughts and advice?
I have come to realize it takes guts to just think big – ‘Dare to Dream‘.
Entity Framework 4 Rocks
Entity Framework is a full-fledged ORM tool that generates code representing the application database. The framework uses LINQ queries or extension methods to query data against the database and even perform database manipulations. Additionally, the API supports a drill-through hierarchy to allow an application to easily access related data to an entity.
The infrastructure is flexible enough to track changes made to its objects (through the unit of work pattern), get objects dynamically through a unique identifier, generate queries dynamically, and much more.
Additionally, new developments in ADO.NET Entity Framework make the infrastructure even more flexible, such as support for generation of code and code customization. Yes, Entity Framework has some limitations, but all these features make it a great product.
