I was skimming through John Ribeiro's recent Infoworld article and began pondering over the points raised where he talks about how IBM's SOA centers in India and China are driving nimble services. The author argues how IBM is taking the promise of SOA reusability a step further: setting up SOA Solutions Centers at Pune, India, and Beijing. Their charter: to identify and create composite business services that can be reused by other customers in the same industry. The article made for interesting reading, especially the trends in globalization of innovation and R&D can be seen in many large service organizations, including Infosys. There is a distinct parallel to John’s article and the recent Business Week blog entry by Steve Hamm who makes a mention of Infosys’ research where he says “The company uses a tool it created, called InFlux, which captures a client's business requirements and transforms them into an IT plan. The company last May started holding day-long customer innovation workshops, one-on-one with a customer, where it listens to what the customer wants to do with its IT and business processes and then tries to come up with projects where the two sides can co-create solutions for the customer.”
China, Africa, S. America and East Europe will follow suit (If they haven't already started it, that is!) India continues to soar. South Asia’s largest economy will continue to lead the pack as the next IT market opportunity. A major wave of IT investments has started to take place across banks, financial services institutions (FSI), telecom, manufacturing, government, resource, education, and other industries. This is probably why India is the fastest-growing country by IT spending in 2006 (22.4 per cent) and is forecast to remain so in 2007 (21.5 per cent) when it reaches Rs 75,891 crore
While we Americans tend to think everything revolves around the United States, let’s not forget Christopher Columbus wouldn’t have even bumped into North America if he wasn’t looking for India in the first place. At least in the business world things are coming full circle as India and other emerging markets are now viewed as THE critical segment for industry growth; a fact acknowledged by Motorola with the launch of the Motorola Radiomoto W209. Tailored specifically to the needs of Indian consumers, the Radiomoto W209 is enabled to read and write in Hindi, and stores up to 500 phone numbers and 750 SMS messages. It also comes included with stereo FM radio, speakerphone, and stereo headset; and is equipped for 469 of continuous talk time.
Indian government proposes to offer all citizens of India free, high-speed broadband connectivity by 2009, through the state-owned telecom service providers BSNL and MTNL. This has the potential to kill current telecom business model in India. As a consumer and internet based service provider, I whole-heartedly support this proposal. Many cities in the US already have free wireless broadband connectivity for residents. The idea is to boost economic activity in general. The government of India plans to achieve free broadband connectivity at a speed of 2 MB per second across the country, with a similar goal. Senior government officials expect to be able to achieve this goal spending only a portion of the corpus of the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF).
Per request of General Electric Plastics for which we participate in a systems integration project, AMIS goes India in order to deliver a SOA Suite introduction training for Genpact employees in the city of Hyderabad..... Genpact is majority owned by General Electric and participates heavily in the roll-out of Oracle 11i business applications at General Electric Plastics. AMIS helps General Electric Plastics and Genpact with the implementation of Oracle SOA Suite as the generic Middleware that integrates Oracle 11i with other business applications.
