Why call your drivers, your bank agent or your RE agent, when you can easily locate and track the entire vehicle fleet, the closest ATM or the property you are looking for? Yes, LBS (Location Based Services) can solve all these queries.

Numerous business talks and business leads have marked our participation at CeBIT 2012.

Computer Simulated Real World Behaviors
One of the most spectacular capabilities that human kind has developed is that of planning ahead, of projecting things, phenomena and events in the future. Yet, how to choose among multiple options? How to capture and foresee dynamics? Often, the most reliable and elegant solution is mathematics. Encoding real dimensions and characteristics as numerical markers and adding change factors in the same format, everything resumes at solving several equations. Based on such clear principle, the task becomes difficult when facing the amount of data that needs to be processed. (!) That’s why specific computing technology has been developed and is currently capable of delivering consistent simulations.

Grow Faster with Salesforce.com
Saying that salesforce.com is an award-winning cloud-computing provider is almost a pleonasm. Over the last decade, salesforce.com has constantly been in the top ranks of SFA (sales force automation) systems and recently, global enterprise platforms. Behind the highly visible and criticised “no to software” statement we find actually the desire to deliver software differently, to align IT resources to a speed that businesses were never used to before.

High-Tech: Digital Video and IP Television
In the mid ‘90s telecommunications afficionados started spreading around the benefits and future development opportunities of the digital video and IPTV (Internet Protocol Television). Over two decades, several parts of the world have been experiencing the penetration of IPTV in our homes and workplaces.

Specialists raise the bar and apply live streaming and video-on-demand in ultra-specialized fields like: medicine, aerospace, military or scientific research.
What does IPTV involve? Who are the customers? What industries can make the most of it? Where is it heading to? – These are some questions we will try to answer briefly in this article.
IT & Software Offshoring Revolution Consolidates Romania’s Position for 2012
Along with other EU members, Romania enters 2012 haunted by the traps residing in the turmoiled euro zone. Nevertheless, the Romanian IT&C stood out as a pillar of growth and development for the national economy, maintaining its contribution to the domestic GDP. The total export of IT Services and software development were accountable for av. 1% of the GDP in 2011. Grosso modo, the data collected over the year substantiates the hypothesis according to which investors were inspired to bet on Romania for offshoring. Agile practices combined with a transformational approach erected Romanian IT & Software offshoring providers among the few preferred destinations in the world.
