India has built strong international credibility in the BPO market and this has paved the way for many international firms to explore other outsourcing opportunities. The KPO or Knowledge Process Outsourcing goes beyond outsourcing standard routine business processes to those involving high end value added tasks in which execution depends on skill, expertise, domain knowledge and experience of the experts handling the tasks.
This presentation briefly summarizes how India is poised to take on this next wave of outsourcing i.e the KPO business.
Market Research Report : Interactive whiteboard market in india 2014 - sampleNetscribes, Inc.
For the complete report, get in touch with us at: info@netscribes.com
Abstract:
Netscribes latest market research report titled Interactive Whiteboard Market in India 2014 describes the dynamics of interactive whiteboard usage in India. The domestic market has moved beyond the nascent stage, and is witnessing a steady growth in demand. In comparison to a traditional whiteboard, interactive whiteboard prices are higher and they require a significant expenditure to purchase and install, but it also gives the end user a highly interactive environment, which can be optimally utilized with proper training. For multinational companies involved in production of electronics including interactive whiteboard, India and China are the two major emerging economies expected to drive significant growth.
The interactive whiteboard market in India is driven by a growing demand from the education sector, where there is increased focus on ICT adoption and a conscious effort to make the learning process more interactive for students, in tune with a global trend. There is also increased demand for customized content or e-learning from the corporate sector, which helps them in reducing costs and efficient utilization of resources. However, some interactive whiteboard reviews highlight the continuous need for training and infrastructural constraints as challenges currently present in the market. But several government initiatives encouraging the use of technology in schools and colleges have significantly benefitted the industry, and should continue to drive growth in the future.

202X & Future Growth Possibilities - Navigate at speed of the new realityZinnov
The pandemic has unlocked a ‘bold’ new mindset in leaders across the globe. Having not just survived but thrived in what could be called one of the most disruptive two years in recent times, leaders are now more ready than ever to unlock new paradigms of talent, technology, and operating models for their businesses. However, in a post-pandemic world, when every company has tasted the power of digital – the growth wars are going to become even more intense.
To win these growth wars, leaders will have to reimagine and reboot their approach across various aspects of business such as organizational culture, talent strategy, community building, employee experience, value creation, capability building, communication, and much more.
Inclusion And Diversity Maturity Benchmark – Creating An Inclusive Workplace ...Zinnov
What is the value of Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) for the C-suite, employees, and job seekers? This question is not always easy to answer, as there are several factors to consider, such as our personal experience, ecosystem awareness, and management approach, to name a few. Interestingly, COVID-19 has broadened the scope of I&D, from just being women-, LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer)-, and PwD (Persons with Disability)-friendly, to being considerate of other minority groups, including individuals dealing with bereavement, caregivers to family members, sole bread earners, etc.
There are several visible gaps observed when developing an enterprise-level I&D plan, most of which lack contextual and personal dimensions. Mastering such issues can be a challenge but can also be incredibly rewarding. It is about taking that crucial first step.
This latest Zinnov’s marquee report on ‘Creating an Inclusive Workplace’ touches upon these aspects and more, by delving deep into the factors that help organizations create workplaces that are not just inclusive, but diverse and empathetic as well. The report aims to help accelerate a mindset shift at an organizational level by empowering leaders to make informed decisions with I&D at the core of long-term business strategy.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
