Smartphones like iPhone, Blackberry, Android,
etc. are a wonderful combination of computers and cell-phones.
They include many multi-media features that seem to be
capturing the interests of individuals. With the growing
popularity of these devices, enterprises have discovered them
to be useful for employees who are distant / dispersed from the
office. Therefore, developing smartphone applications for the
enterprises has become necessary. In this paper we describe
our methodology for smartphone enablement of enterprise
software systems. This comprises of a framework to assess the
business processes to identify the potential candidates for
smartphone enablement and also guidelines for re-factoring
the system architecture.As most of the enterprises are either
web applications and/or web services, the technical approach
will provide the details of developing the solution using web
technology. Based on our experience, we briefly discuss the
benefits and limitations of our approach. We conclude the paper
with a short note on the evolution of web technology in the
smartphone area.

Cloud computing is a general concept that incorporates software as a service(SaaS), web2.0 and other recent well-know technology trends in which the common theme is satisfying the increasing computing needs of the users while reducing costs.

Industry researcher International Data Corp. says that the worldwide sales of public IT Cloud services will reach $55.5 billion in 2014, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.4%. But for independent software vendors (ISVs) who built their business around the traditional model of selling licenses and maintenance agreements, moving to SaaS involves drastic changes in every aspects ranging from their business model, sales and marketing strategies, development methods and their own IT requirements.
This Handbook explains the importance of Cloud and how the market is moving towards delivering software as a service. The market trends and predictions explains the need for the ISVs to transform from software developers to services providers. This move will provide them with tremendous benefits and will keep them competitive. To meet the transformational challenges, the ISVs are required to unlearn some beliefs and learn new ones.

Optimizing Net Interest Margin (NIM) in the Financial Sector (With Examples).pdfshruti1menon2
NIM is calculated as the difference between interest income earned and interest expenses paid, divided by interest-earning assets.
Importance: NIM serves as a critical measure of a financial institution's profitability and operational efficiency. It reflects how effectively the institution is utilizing its interest-earning assets to generate income while managing interest costs.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
