Digital was one of the best companies I have worked. Merger with Compaq brought in a whole different culture. Can’t believe Digital (2 nd Largest computer company) was sold for paltry 9 Billion. Demise of Digital is the prime example why a strong leadership is needed at the top. Things were never the same for many of the DECies .

Monday, September 11 9 am – 12 noon Tutorial TA Selecting Platforms & Technologies for Successful eBusiness Initiatives: What an Executive Needs to Know Jay Srinivasan, Director , PricewaterhouseCoopers Electronic Business today is still a service-oriented industry and there are no plug and play applications yet.

As the businesses move from the existing environment of what is e-business to stages of implementation of e-business initiatives, executives are still faced with a stew of jargons and the dilemmas on how to begin. Most of the application vendors and hardware vendors tend to focus on their technology solutions thus confusing the marketplace.

SELECTING PLATFORMS & TECHNOLOGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL E-BUSINESS INITIATIVES: WHAT AN EXECUTIVE NEEDS TO KNOW
Electronic Business today is still a service-oriented industry and there are no plug and play applications yet. Companies need to avoid automating the defective process by simply web-enabling the existing applications. Even though there are several 3rd party vendors who claim they are in the e-business applications business, in reality these vendors provide the application tools for an organization to develop the customized applications on their own.
As the businesses move from the existing environment of what is e-business to stages of implementation of e-business initiatives, executives are still faced with a stew of jargons and the dilemmas on how to begin.
Most of the application vendors and hardware vendors tend to focus on their technology solutions thus confusing the market place.
This workshop will explore the following subjects at a level appropriate for a CEO, CIO or an e-business executive.
E-Business Platforms & Applications
Integration with enterprise systems
Payment Technologies
E-Business Infrastructure Hardware & Network Infrastructure
The workshop will also address issues such as:
How to evaluate which categories of e-business software are more appropriate for your business ? Who are the market players, what do they sell and what is their track record ?
How to separate the marketing hype from reality in terms of products and services offered by various vendors.
What technologies are in use by the most successful e-business initiatives ?
How to design your system to be as vendor neutral as possible to avoid being held hostage to specific technologies and standards
What you should buy vs. what you can build
How to create a strategic roadmap for e-business initiatives taking in to consideration existing legacy systems and back office integration.

Sample of news clips Web-Based Multi-Industry Supply Chain Technology Initiative (MISTI™) The buzz at ICE surrounding online trading communities grew louder on Wednesday afternoon. Richard Chipman, Assistant VP, Science Applications International Corporation, and Jay Srinivasan, Director of Internet Business Practice, Digital Equipment Corporation corroborated what conferees had been hearing from industry experts for two days - one-stop shopping in the business-to-business market. Buyers will soon be able to open their web browsers, find the part they need for the price they want, and then carry out the transaction to get the part. What is MISTIä ? Chipman and Srinivasan presented a complex technology called Multi-Industry Supply Chain Technology Initiative, which could form the infrastructure for these widely-discussed online business communities. "This is not a product pitch," insisted Srinivasan at the beginning of his presentation

Tuesday, April 4, 2000 - From pleased to unconcerned, reactions to ruling vary By Paul Andrews, Sharon Pian Chan, Michael Ko, Thomas Lee, Peyton Whitely Technology industry Bill Campbell, chairman of Intuit, one of the companies aligned against against Microsoft in the trial, said he is looking for remedies that will prevent Windows from being used as "an exclusionary marketing and distribution vehicle." "We trust the Department of Justice and Judge (Thomas Penfield) Jackson to determine a structural remedy that will ensure Microsoft cannot use its monopoly power, and that instead the Internet is open to free competition, unhampered innovation and maximum consumer choice," he said. Dan Cooperman, senior vice president, general counsel and secretary of Oracle who testified against Microsoft for the Department of Justice, said: "We're eagerly awaiting the opportunity to review in detail the ruling by Judge Jackson in this most important case affecting our industry. We hope that the remedies ultimately imposed or agreed upon will be commensurate with the seriousness of the violations of antitrust law which have now been determined by the court." Jay Srinivasan, manager and senior partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers, has consulted Microsoft on e-commerce efforts: "It's definitely a setback for Microsoft. . . . They've done more for the standardization of the software industry than anyone else in the world. . . . "I feel sad in that this might affect the innovation at Microsoft. People there will be gun-shy for any application development and any addition to features in existing applications. Even if they don't break up the company, each move will be second-guessed by analysts and the government. "Microsoft is good business people. Dealing with Microsoft is as difficult as dealing with Sun and IBM. No one's going to give away the store for nothing. But Microsoft said no to too many people, and they've all ganged up." For the software industry, there will be turmoil for a while, Srinivasan said, because "other companies are not going to step up that quickly." "The question is, can competitors compete with lower pricing? No, they don't have the critical mass Microsoft has," he said. Marcus Courtney, co-founder of the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers, said the decision will affect morale of Microsoft employees. "It will impact Microsoft because the case is affecting its stock prices," Courtney said. "That's very important to the morale of the employees. Microsoft's ability to compete for workers is directly related to its gains on its stock price. As price languishes, and uncertainty continues to linger, it definitely will affect morale. "Is Microsoft going to be broken up? Is that still a possibility after this ruling? Workers are wondering, `If Microsoft is going to be broken up, what's that going to mean for me?' It's going to force people to start evaluating their options. Should they stick with Microsoft, or are they going to leave for the dot-com world?" Competitors Jim Barksdale, former chief executive of Netscape, said he was surprised at the judge's forceful language. "He seemed very upset about this, just as we were upset by Microsoft's actions," Barksdale said. "This is a big day for the industry. We're very pleased and feel vindicated by the decision." The only remedy, as Barksdale sees it, is breaking up the company. Whatever changes result from the ruling will enable Netscape to compete more effectively. Dave Winer, a Silicon Valley software developer, talked with Assistant Attorney General Joel Klein a few months ago about the case. Winer said Klein told him: " `You don't have to do anything. Microsoft will simply self-destruct in the new (Internet) marketplace. The idea of a single dominant vendor is always a temporary stage in a market. New technology comes along, and users and developers outgrow the need for the old standard.' " Ransom Love is president and chief executive officer of Caldera, a Utah-based maker of Linux-based operating systems. Caldera has filed a separate antitrust suit against Microsoft. "I think it's a wonderful piece of legal work, and it's going to be a tremendous benefit for the consumer and industry and eventually to Microsoft as well. It's sent a really clear message that what we have felt in the industry is in fact a reality." A breakup, Love said, would ultimately be a positive. "If Microsoft were broken up . . . the market would begin to apply its natural pressures," he said. "You'd see much more viable solutions in the industry overall. If you go for something less than that, what you're asking for is for the government to begin to regulate and monitor and ensure that Microsoft complies, and they don't have the best track record there." Analysts Rob Enderle, an analyst with Giga Group in California, said he found the Microsoft ruling more harsh than he expected. He thinks that's because Jackson apparently is confident his ruling would survive the appeals proccss. If the ruling does survive the appeal process, he said, the Supreme Court will not hear it. Enderle said the prospect of a settlement is now nonexistent: "It gets tougher from here on out. Microsoft had put its last and best offer on the table." Scott McAdams, analyst at McAdams Wright Ragen, said: "I basically disagree with the finding. People are playing hardball all the time, and it's somewhat unfair to single one person out. I'm not saying these guys didn't play dirty pool. They might have. But to what extent do the rules apply to the times?" McAdams said any remedy "may not have a lot of teeth in it, short of a breakup. A breakup is in the best interest of the company given the alternative - the government getting deeply involved in its business operations." But McAdams doesn't think the company will be broken up. Microsoft employees It may have been a decision in one of the biggest antitrust cases in history, but on and around the Microsoft campus in Redmond yesterday, there was little tension. The general reaction was one of indifference. A broadcast of the decision began airing shortly before 2 p.m. At a campus building housing MSNBC news operations, a few people paused as the first descriptions of the findings appeared on a television screen. But just a half-dozen people congregated at any time, and usually for a few seconds. "I don't think there'll be any changes in what they do," said one of the viewers, Graham Whiteley. "It'll go on pretty much as it has. It was in the cards." At the Pro Club, a sports facility on 148th Avenue Northeast that's popular with Microsoft workers, a constant stream of clients moved in and out through the afternoon, but they were usually chatting about their tennis game, not federal court cases. "I work there, yes," said one man who declined to give his name. "I work on my product. It'll all work out in the end. We have people who pay attention to that." Another Pro Club client, Larry Bienenfeld, said that while he doesn't work for Microsoft, he has stock in the corporation and expects to keep it, as do many of his friends. "Does it bother me?" he asked of the court case. "No, because I know they'll appeal. It's one of those long-term things. For a lot of people, it's just part of owning Microsoft." Seattle Times technology correspondent Paul Andrews and staff writers Sharon Pian Chan, Michael Ko, Thomas Lee, Peyton Whitely and Roger Yu contributed to this report.

Archives Contribute Ashland Temple Responds To Temple Incident. Official reaction from Jay Srinivasan, Chairman of the Board of NEHTI 12/04/2003 Jay Srinivasan, Chairman of the New England Hindu temple emailed to Lokvani, the temple�s efforts in building community outreach after the incident at the temple. Here is the text. Ashland police and community have been extremely supportive of the temple for past several years. We are highly appreciative of the excellent work done by Ashland police for their follow up and quick arrest. It is up to the law enforcement authorities to take the necessary action as appropriate under applicable laws of the land. Our temple is visited by hundreds of kids of various religions on a weekly basis to understand Hinduism and the culture. It has been an extreme pleasure to see dozens of children ask various questions about the religion, culture etc. We enjoy their visit. We are glad kids in Massachusetts schools learn about different religions in their middle school and Hinduism is one of the chapters. Some isolated incidents such as the one in October, make us realize that we have to increase our efforts in the areas of community outreach and community education. One of our priests represents us in the Interfaith meetings on a regular basis. We may need to consider sending some learned Hindu scholars and volunteers as guest lecturers to various schools as part of the community activity. This is already being done on an informal basis. Perhaps we may have to make this a formal program of the temple. Education on "Valuing of Differences" as the best way to minimize and/or avoid such instances. As you are aware, presiding deity in the New England Hindu Temple is Sri Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity). We pray that the blessings of Goddess Sri Lakshmi be always be with the community of New England for wealth and prosperity

INDIA New England news Issue Date: 4/18/2005, Posted On: 4/18/2005 TiECon East to deliver new speakers and golf event Diverse list of event attendees reflects increased interest in being part of Indian economy Naomi Grossman WAKEFIELD, Mass. - The business industry is shifting from a national to a global stage and Vinit Nijhawan, the new president of The Indus Entrepreneurs Boston, wants to make sure that his organization is part of that move. To that end, the theme of this year's TiECon East, an annual conference which is being held from April 28 through April 30 at the Sheraton Colonial Center, is innovation in a global economy. "If you're a startup company or an investor you need to pay attention to the world," said Nijhawan, who is also the president of Airwide Solutions. According to Nishith Acharya, a co-chair of the event, the theme is "perfect for what is going on in the economy right now." "It used to be that businesses started local and then thought about other parts of the country and then the world. Now that has been turned upside down," he added. "Venture capital firms want to see a China strategy and an India strategy. [Businesses] need to think about customers globally and finding locations." Among this year's keynote speakers are Michael Ruetggers, chairman of the board at EMC Corp.; Howard S. Charney, senior vice president, office of the president at CISCO Systems; Susan Hockfield, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Jay Sidhu, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Sovereign Bancorp; Ashok Narasimhan, chief executive officer of July Systems and the founding president of Wipro Infotech and Wipro Systems; and, Doug Hall, chief executive officer of Eureka Ranch and the author of Jump Start Your Brain. According to Nijhawan, the quality of speakers at this year's event is "the best we've ever had." He pointed out that 75 percent of the speakers are vice presidents or higher at Fortune 500 companies. Jay Srinivasan, a co-chair of the event, agrees. He said that this year the organizers of TieCon East wanted to hear from the corporate world. "We wanted people who have gone global," he said. "We wanted to know about the problems and the solutions." Among the issues being addressed are marketing and branding strategies for a global environment, the global investment climate, trends in IT and software services, creating a global research and development organization, the future of stem cell research and launching and growing a global business. Srinivasan added that, whereas last year many of the speakers were of Indian origin, this year the speakers are more diverse with a mix of Indian and non-Indians being represented. "It doesn't mean Indians aren't interested," he said. "It shows that now everybody feels they have to be a part of it." The community element to TiECon East will still be there, said Acharya, but for non-South Asians he said it's a phenomenal networking opportunity. He estimated that between 30 to 40 percent of the participants will be non-South Asian. Nijhawan noted that for Hockfield, this is one of only two speaking engagements she accepted before she is officially inaugurated as the president of MIT. "The Indus community is important to MIT and MIT sees itself as a central player in the globalization of technology," said Nijhawan, who added that the global economy is more than just outsourcing. "We're really talking about innovation and it's happening all over the world." For instance, said Nijhawan, a company's first customers might not be the United States anymore, especially for companies in the telecommunications industry. "Most start ups thrive on those willing to take a bet on something new," he added. "Those people used to be in the United States, but now that's changing. They could be in Asia or Europe. As a startup or venture capital investor, you need to look there." Nijhawan emphasized that competition is also going global. "[A company] needs to have its ears to the ground," he said. In an effort to bring the advantages of TiE-Global to Boston, a trustee of TiE-Global, Apurv Bagri, who is also the managing director of the Metdist Group, is coming to the event. In addition, for the first time, the event has been expanded to include the nine chapters of the East Coast region. It is also the first time that the conference includes a golf event to kick off the proceedings. Nijawahan said that the thinking was that the event, which is already sold out, would be a "neat thing to do. In the end, you go to [these conferences] to make connections and in golf you can spend four hours with someone." An effort was made to put a TiE charter member in each foursome to facilitate those connections. A further effort was made to ensure that all perspectives of the community were covered. Srinivasan is a charter member of TiE Boston and a first generation Indian-American , while Acharya is a second generation Indian-American. "We paired them up because they are very different," said Nijhawan. "That's my job, to stir the pot."

Lokvani Talks To Jay Srinivasan 07/13/2005
Congratulations on being selected as Outstanding 50 -2005 Asian American award. Could you tell us more about this.
I guess I got this award due to my involvement in multiple fronts, including my professional / business background as well as my involvement in several community organizations. I am also part of a major Import / export business with suppliers not only from India, but also from China and Taiwan. While I cannot talk a whole lot about the operations, suffice it to say it is growing rapidly. It was really a humbling experience to be recognized by this award.
You are the Director of Application Management Services (SAP). There was a time when SAP was one of the hottest fields in the US. Has outsourcing impacted this market ?
SAP continues to be the hottest field in the US followed by other ERP applications and business intelligence applications. CIOs are trying to reduce the cost in every way possible to balance the IT budget. It is my view that entire infrastructure, programming, and support functions will be completely outsourced by major corporations to offshore companies, which can provide cost effective solutions. In fact this is no longer a simple body shopping work. Many companies are signing up with offshore organizations for three to five-year contracts. Such a long-term contract provides steady revenue stream for the offshore organizations and they are able to plan staffing better, instead of worrying about bench time, utilizations, etc. I do not see significant opportunity in the areas of offshore outsourcing for business intelligence applications. This area will continue to evolve as an on- shore outsourcing.
You Co-Chaired TIECON EAST 2005, which was very successful. What was that experience like?
I enjoyed it. It was a team effort. While TIECON SV had 400 volunteers, IIT Global conference had 145 volunteers; we managed TiECON EAST with less than 15 volunteers. While we have received several kudos on the successful conference, I feel we can elevate TiECON EAST to the next level. There is room for improvement on several fronts and I hope the next chairs for TiECON 2006 will make the appropriate adjustment.
It must be a challenge to put such a large event together. To what do you attribute the success?
Right from the start we realized that in order for the conference to be successful, we need to have a great product. Hence, our first focus was on the quality of the speakers as well as their diversity. As you might have noticed from the speakers list, we had speakers from diverse fields of expertise .

Lokvani Talks To Jay Srinivasan 07/13/2005 http://www.lokvani.com/lokvani/article.php?article_id=2602
Jay Srinivasan has worked in several Fortune 500 companies including Siemens, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Compaq/Digital Equipment Corporation, Schlumberger and TATA (Telco).
He attributes his interest in community activity to his interest in Tamil drama, (story, dialogue, and direction) which brought him in close connection with different groups of film stars, politicians, and industrial leaders during his college days. His first exposure to entrepreneurship was when he started two student magazines (Suryagandhi and Manavarism) and tried to make them financially viable. From his college days, he has been involved in all kinds of arts and community activities including Lions Club.
Recently, Jay Srinivasan was selected as one of the “Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business” by Asian American Business Development Center for his efforts not only in the technology area, but also in the industrial and consumer sectors business as well as involvement in various community related volunteer activities. Jay is also currently involved in the Import / Export business of certain industrial and consumer products in India and China
In the Boston area he has been very active in various organizations. He was the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the New England Hindu Temple. He is a Charter Member of The Indus Entrepreneur (TIE-Boston) He was the co-chair of TIECON EAST 2005, which is one the largest entrepreneurship conference in the eastern part of the US. He is very actively involved in the town of Medway where he lives with his wife and three daughters. Those who have known Jay is aware of his high energy level he brings to any task he has undertaken
Srinivasan spoke to Lokvani about his interests and his work .

Why do I think it was important for any US citizen to get involved in the town activities? Most Indian Americans have skills that can help improve the functioning of the town. Considering that we give a lot of our tax dollars to the town, it is important that we understand where the money is going and influence the spending. After all we spend nearly 5 to 10 % of our income on property tax.. I became part of the finance committee in 1995-98 and was able to contribute significantly to the improvement of the town’s school system. I was part of team which did the early work in the Finance committee. The budget for new elementary school, new police station, new fire station etc were approved during my term as a FINCOM member. Medway today has one of the best school systems. Medway also has a brand new 675 seat auditorium that is state of the art.

My views on Community involvement Indian American community has several leaders with tremendous energy and leadership capabilities. I would urge everyone to get involved with at least one non-profit community activity to spend at least 1 to 2% of their time for the benefit of their community. We are slowly becoming a powerful minority group. In the recent years I am yet to listen to a technology or business conference where the India is not mentioned. 20 + years ago this was not the case. Collectively we can make a difference not only for India, but also for the community we live in!

We did a few things differently this year. Having a small volunteer team helped us plan and manage the activities efficiently. Since TIE is about entrepreneurship and considering that we are mentoring people to run successful businesses, we felt it was important for TIECON to be managed profitably. TIE is also about supporting local entrepreneurs and hence we made it a point to support local businesses as much as possible.
We worked very hard to look at all the expenses and eliminate those that we felt did not bring in required returns. We looked at creative ways to save money. For example, one of our keynote speakers needed two large plasma screens. When we looked at the rental from the hotel, we realized that it would be cheaper to buy them. We purchased them and then raffled them off at the event. We also made sure that the sponsors got high visibility. We were very careful to put a lot of “Wild Card” planning in place so that we had a contingency plan for many possible points of failure. This conference owes its success in no small measure to the support given from other charter members who, despite their very busy schedules, were always there to help.
You were the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the New England Hindu Temple. What do you perceive the role of the temple is in New England and what do you think is your major contribution to the temple?
I spent four years of my life volunteering at various positions at NEHTI. As you know, I served in various capacities as a Trustee, secretary and later as chairman of the board. In fact I started the FINCOM concept in the temple in 1996. Coming from a finance background, one of the first tasks I undertook was to establish a finance committee to streamline the operations. With the help of the finance committee and the board, we were able to diversify the investments, thus, increasing the returns. I also introduced the 403(B) plan. I had an evaluation plan for the priests and they received bonuses four times a year based on a review and devotee feedback
One of my major contributions to the temple was to initiate and complete the granite flooring project through the program where members sponsor a tile for 10 dollars. During my volunteer period, we started the repairs to temple infrastructure, including Rajagopurams which were falling apart.
It was my vision to have a center for performing arts in the premises that can serve as a community center as well. A center like that would attract members of other communities to see the temple and understand our culture and traditions. I convinced the board to support the initiatives of other programs and initial funds of approximately 80 thousand dollars were raised through members sponsoring a brick for 100 dollars. We formed a special committee which started looking at various plans. Location etc.. You have been very active in the town of Medway. Why did you think it was important to get involved in the town activities?
Most Indian Americans have skills that can help improve the functioning of the town. Considering that we give a lot of our tax dollars to the town, it is important that we understand where the money is going and influence the spending. After all we spend nearly 5 to 10 % of our income on property tax.. I became part of the finance committee in 1995-98 and was able to contribute significantly to the improvement of the town’s school system. I was part of team which did the early work in the Finance committee. The budget for new elementary school, new police station, new fire station etc were approved during my term as a FINCOM member. Medway today has one of the best school systems. Medway also has a brand new 675 seat auditorium that is state of the art. I have been told that I have been again nominated to FINCOM of Town of Medway and I am looking forward to help streamline the finances.
You are an engineer and yet you seem to have placed a lot of emphasis on entrepreneurship and donating your time to community activities. Was this an interest that you developed in the United States?
My interest in the community activities comes from my interest in writing. During my student days, I wrote a lot of Tamil plays. I was a classmate of “Crazy Mohan”, who has made a name for himself in the world of drama. I also started two student magazines. To start a magazine and make it financially viable, it is important to have entrepreneurial skills and also an involvement with the community. I think that was the seed for all that I do now. Any special thoughts that you would like to share with our readers?
Our community has several leaders with tremendous energy and leadership capabilities. I would urge everyone to get involved with at least one non-profit community activity to spend at least 1 to 2% of their time for the benefit of their community. We are slowly becoming a powerful minority group. In the recent years I am yet to listen to a technology or business conference where the India is not mentioned. 20 + years ago this was not the case. Collectively we can make a difference not only for India, but also for the community we live in!
Thank you for your time
Thank you.
