Is ‘Enterprise Mobility’ The Way Forward For Enterprises? Part I: Findings an...IJERA Editor
Attracted by the benefits offered by mobility technologies directly relating to cost savings and improved productivity, enterprises are keen to adopt BYOD models; however, without proper feasibility studies and mobility policies in place, BYOD will not be able to generate the desired results. The commercialization of technology or BYOD is rapidly transforming the enterprise mobility landscape and changing the way that organizations conduct business. However, the adoption of this concept enables enterprises to devise stringent and precise mobility policies to avoid any security and privacy issues.
Optimization of Digital-Based MSME E-Commerce: Challenges and Opportunities i...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The impact caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic on Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) was so severe and fatal
that not a few went out of business. The heavy burden is borne by MSME actors due to social restrictions imposed by the
government, the declining purchasing power of the people, a product that continues to decline until capital runs out. Plus
inadequate knowledge in carrying out marketing strategies and product innovations are the main trigger for the lack of
enthusiasm for MSME actors as well as bankruptcy. MSME digitalization-based e-commerce is an opportunity and the right
solution in dealing with the obstacles caused by the impact of Covid-19, as well as a challenge for MSME actors to design old
ways in new ways through digital business.
In this presentation, Vikram explains the SMAC effect on verticals such as Healthcare and e-commerce. He says that Virtual patient care might be a game changer in the near future.

To Assess the Main Drawbacks of Advanced Technology for the Accounting SphereFinancialMarketCorpo
Every accountant knows that accounting is a business language and that language has undergone many
changes over the years. Dissemination in the use of information technology and the production of applications has
contributed to intense shifts in accounting firms’ Procedures as of the 1990s. From the view of accounting experts,
the influence of these advances has not been adequately analysed. The general purpose of this study was therefore to determine the effect of technological progress on the accounting sphere in Namibia. A descriptive survey
design was used to in this study, to establish whether there exists any relationship between advanced technology
and Accounting today. The results indicate that the accelerated speed of technological progress tends to challenge
conventional processes in all fields, including the accounting profession. The study also revealed that businesses
have not only embraced the revolution of advanced technology, but have also started to adopt emerging innovations in the form of accounting software, mobility and the creation of social media platforms. With a figure of
less than 50% IT-enabled use, it is obvious that accounting students and accountants do not know how to run
accounting information systems, while companies continually rely on technological advancements to conduct their
tasks.

Information Technology (IT) Development Strategy of STIE INABA in the Perspec...AJHSSR Journal
Strategic planning is a relatively new concept for non-profit organizations (Bryson (1995) and
Nawawi (2000)). Strategic planning is needed in order that organizations can offer better service quality for their
customers and for the sustainability of their organizations. Nonprofit organizations have people who are focused
on achieving specific goals of their organizations (Ireland: 1999: 96-99). Their activities are indeed limited to
the budget and a constant need to raise funds through donations and assistance. When discussing about quality,
the first thing to consider is to get rid of the notions1) that nonprofit organizations cannot work like business
organizations, 2) that non-profit organizations cannot measure their performance, and 3) that quality
improvement techniques cannot be applied to non-profit organizations.
This research was in the form of a case study with Sekolah Tinggi Indonesia Membangun (STIE INABA) as the
research subject. The research method used was research and development. Research and development can be
defined as a process or steps to develop a new product or improve existing products that are accountable.
Based on the results of the analysis of the data collected, it can be concluded that the performance measurements
that had been applied produced less information and less effective strategic planning. IT Balance Scorecard was
used to analyze the relevance of the performance measurement indicators that had been established with the
Vision, Mission, and strategic objectives of STIE INABA. STIE INABA needs to build an information system
in the form of E-learning to support teaching and learning activities

Sales acceleration is not always through the technology upgradation but can be impacted by the environmental
conditions as well. We have seen the forced adoption of Unifiewd Communications as a Service in India due to the
sudden lock down conditions due to Covid-19 in India. The success of a product or service is also accelerated by the
enhancement of features that the product or service is offering. The possibility of sales acceleration through proper
implementation of various strategies pertaining to marketing, technological improvement, creation of proper channels
for sales acceleration and so on bears importance within the highly competitive market. In the case of Indian business
sector, it is evident that technological prosperity achieved by contemporary trading enterprises to conduct business
conferences in a significant manner. Utilisation of UCaaS is significant in this regard to facilitate modern business
units to conduct virtual meetings in a smooth way even amid the Covid-19 pandemic. In this study a comprehensive
discussion regarding the impact of technological growth in the features of UCaaS has been conducted through factual
data and information gathered from authentic resources. A secondary method of data collection has been adopted in
this study to acquire relevant information from scholarly articles, peer reviewed journals and relevant websites
available in the online platform. It is found that there is a significant growth in technical features of UCaaS such as
integration of audio-visual and text data. Along with that several technological advancements, instant messaging,
workflow integration and video conferencing have resulted in increasing the utilisation of UCaaS in India. An
inadequate security issues are also identified in UCaaS during the web-based conferences among business units.
Hence, suitable technological adaptation and technical growth such as improving artificial intelligence is
recommended in this study. Hence, through these measures adopted by UCaaS, it has been successful in achieving
sales acceleration by creating a clear channel of communication between the organisation and its clients in a virtual
space
