WordPress in the enterprise - can it work?DMWMartin
WordPress can be used in enterprise environments when more than one person takes responsibility for core competencies like development, maintenance, support, security and governance. Some challenges for WordPress in enterprise include integration, skills gaps, multiple teams, open source trust, and security. Enablers include single sign-on, agile teams, slower upgrades, external support and third party products. Ongoing issues involve shifting costs from the platform to building core competencies while maintaining flexibility, and balancing flexibility with enterprise demands for control. Bridging this gap may involve separate security patches, trusted repositories, and supporting legacy releases similar to Ubuntu's approach.

This case study discusses difficulties faced by users of Survodaya Pvt Ltd gas stoves in Gujarat, India. Key issues included stove supporters not fitting local utensils, burners only producing side flames, stoves going out if food boiled over, and frequent match use. Additionally, some people feared gas was flammable, poisonous, or against religious beliefs. Often the gas ran out mid-cooking as there was no indicator of remaining supply. Proposed solutions involved modifying supporters, improving burners, designing lighters, adding transparent windows or reserve cylinders to show gas levels, and expanding delivery infrastructure.

On March 28, DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro presented “The State of Education” to the members of the Philippine Business for Education. He
emphasized the trifocalization of education in the Philippines between DepEd, CHED, and TESDA.
Sec. Armin discussed DepEd’s performance indicators, their change agenda, budget trends, resources, current initiatives, and strategic directions. The K + 12 Basic Education Program was identified as a flagship reform strategy. Also discussed were DepEd initiatives to address the shortage on classrooms, teachers, sanitation facilities, textbooks, and school seats. Apart from K + 12, DepEd has focused on adopting the indigenous people education framework,
strengthening the use of ICT in education, and implementing the five key reforms of the Basic Education Reform Agenda: a) school-based management; b)
national learning strategies; c) quality assurance and accountability; d) complementary interventions; and e) institutional culture change.
This was a primer on the IT-BPO industry as presented to the AmCham ICT Committee by Alejandro "Bud" Melchor III, Deputy Executive Director for ICT Industry Development, Department of Science and Technology, ICT Office (DOST-ICTO) on March 27, 2012
The Philippines' Competitive Advantage on Business Environment in Comparison ...Arangkada Philippines
This document discusses the competitive advantages of the Philippines for business compared to other Asian countries from the perspective of the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO). It outlines that the Philippines has competitive advantages in terms of cost competitiveness, quality of human resources, and government incentives. It also notes that strengthening industrial linkages, manufacturing sectors, and infrastructure would further improve the investment environment. The document provides data on sources of profits for Japanese companies by region, salaries for various roles in manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors, and reasons for Japanese companies establishing operations in different Asian cities.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

51. LESSONS LEARNED
1. Transparency leads to Competitiveness : Governance
matters
2. Work-in-Progress is no longer good enough
3. Importance of Execution and Delivery
4. Teamwork is required : No More Silos
5. We must focus on Multiple Fronts (no single variable)
6. The Competition never sleeps
7. The bar always rises. We move up a weight class and meet
larger, stronger competition
8. Speed-to-Reform should be our new mantra
9. Maintaining Momentum is important (gain speed)
10. Embedding and institutionalizing change / reform for the
long run is important. This has become a key concern.
