Attractive SaaS question

Hello All,

When I was googling for saas related articles, this question attracted me. "What happens to my data if my SaaS service provider/remote hosting service/other outsourced service fails as a business and is forced to close?". I will post the answer in my next post. Meanwhile, if you know the answer for this question, please add a comment in my post.

Thanks,

Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt - The man you could ever imagine. Rediff has pointed correctly as "Mind blowing bolt". He has achieved the newer mile stone by beating his own record 9.74 to 9.58. It is now a world record for the 100m race and he has finished with his own style. Now the media has started comparing Bolt and Jesse Owens and not only for the record but also the character, temperament and the style. The response from this dynamic personality for the new world record " I was thinking 9.40 but happy for 9.58". That means his journey is not over as yet. So wish him for the next world record. BTW, Dravid is back.

Thanks,

Sridhar Vembu - The new charisma in the software world

Hello All,

It is a healthy morning today despite Swine flu fears. I have seen a banner rather a poster behind a car saying "Zoho - your online office". A name has certainly changed the name of the company, focus and new energy to the total software industry. This company with the former name "Adventnet" has renamed themselves as "Zoho" and you have to really appreciate their Branding and promotional activities. They are competing with Google docs and infact they have won a big deal with GE. Zoho CRM, word, excel - what else and what not. It is very easy to get your login ID password with the help of your yahoo and gmail ID. It is not Sridhar's entire work and he hasn' t believed this concept will work for "Adventnet" (Referred from his blog: http://blogs.adventnet.com/svembu/). Folks, He has the right to slam Microsoft and he has done it in a beautiful way. (Again refer his blog). It is the new beginning and they have done decently well to cope up with Micrsoft and Google's standards. For more visit www.zoho.com.

Tata Nano

Hello all,

Today is the remarkable day for car users especially for middle class and lower middle class community. Tata has planned to handover Nano car's fist key to a mumbaikar. They believe that they can give all 100000 cars by the end of q,2010. This is due to production contraints and they can advance the production to supply more nano cars. Though the car looks nano or even i can say Micro, it is ok for the Middle class and lower middle class audience. A car with the price of 1 lakh and people can easily compare prices with Pulsar or Unicorn, which have the price of 65k and 60k respectively. But nano's performance???? we should wait and see.

Budget and Sensex

Hello All,
Budget and sensex are the two dissimilar characters but one's plus may become the onus of the other's. I came across an interesting article in Hindu about Budget and commonsense. Everyone knew that the sensex had crashed 800 points during budget session. The reason was straightforward " didnt meet the expectation". But anybody understood the important factor like: Presented in budget vs layman's understanding towards the budget. Post budget discussion wont help you in future with this volatile market. Citizens of India should be educated during the budget session itself on what is there for the common man. Will it possible. Yes it should be right..Government should release the parallel budget explanation document or the other choice would be "stop the trading for a day".
After a long time, I have come up with this post but what I did during this time
1. Mourned Michies death
2. Hailed the determination of Fedex
3. Hailed Andy Roddick
4. Became the fan of Zoho.com and Sridhar Vembu
5. Admired cricket in pakistan and pakistan's cricket
Thanks,

Sensex and it is very sensitive index

Hello All,
It was a hot and race session in Mumbai for the past 3 days. In the history of sensex, This was the first time where the sensex closed due to high volatile purchase. Sensex zoomed 2000 points in few hours of trading and market was shut down for the full working day. The reason was the elections where Singhji has formed a stable government for the next five years. Will this trend reduce the slowness in Indian market and especially in the IT industry? My answer is may be. Since the companies have got enough cash inflow for the past 2 days, they may try to invest more in their recent initiatives. But who knows? Any way let us welcome this trend and it will be a good start for Indian future.

Thanks,

Varun
