    Cisco: Inching Us Towards True Covergence
    Cisco acquires Scientific Atlanta, with the hope of combining the various home networks: video, data, voice, audio. In one stroke, Cisco has positioned itself at the pinnacle of the Network Convergence debate.Only two companies had a complete lock over the channel serving the STB market: Motorola and Scientific Atlanta. With today’s acquisition, Cisco cuts through the barrier to enter the STB market, and with it, acquires a massive opportunity to lead the innovation in home networking. Neither Motorola, nor SA had enough of the other pieces. Cisco does.Imagine the future of the Home Network ...One, just One box from Cisco sits

    Short Take: Consulting Service Pricing Strategies
    There are a variety of ways for consultants to price their services. This is a quick summary of various methods with explanations, pros and cons. How do you price your services?HourlyIt is common for many consultants to charge hourly for their services. This may be due to habit -- you were likely paid hourly as an employee. It also easier to come up with a specific dollar number for each hour that you work.DailySome consultants will skip the hourly fees and simply charge on a daily basis instead. There is even an entire formula designed to help you figure out what should be charged in order to meet your income and perso
    In the article Getting Involved in the Global Development Market (available in full in Latest News at www.globizdev.com) I commented that while tendering skills are critical, in isolation of other key activities success is a lottery.

    Preparation must remain as a key and ongoing activity if organisations and individuals are to expect success from their tendering involvement.

    While there is no doubt that some of this preparation may require investment if site visits and the like are to occur, as they need to, not all preparation is costly.

    So often, when working with some of the smaller organisations that seek activity in sub-components of larger projects, the tendering effort is stressful, time- challenged and often without system.

    This can be managed by planning in advance.

    As discussed in Getting Involved in the Global Development Market, tender responses, even for sub-components, invariably require details of your team, approach and methodology, management, price and past experience. With the often tight timelines for the tender response, it is critical that time is spent on ensuring the best possible solution to the project’s requirements at the best possible price. Hence, time should be mostly devoted t

    EU Fining Microsoft and Following the Lead of the Federal Terrorist Commission
    The European Union is fining yet another American Company that it cannot compete with. Why? Because this time Microsoft has just become too efficient in its operating systems. The Computer companies of the EU will not seem to get off their rears to build a better system or better features for personal computers and small business work stations.But why is the European Union even bothering to attack Bill Gates and Microsoft? Well it is simple; the EU is following the lead of the Federal Trade Commission or FTC. I liken this agency to the Federal Terrorist Commission, which attacks the winners of free markets.The FTC claims that they ar

    Abatement Consultants Often Drop the Ball and Miss the Boat
    Many industry sectors have abatement professionals and consultants and there are even trade journals specializing in these things. Unfortunately the greatest abatement consultants are so busy that they generally cannot even return phone calls as they travel the world putting out fires and handling crisis management. The issues, which are most pressing are those dealing with multiple reactions caused by abatement procedures in one sector which affect another and the law of unintended consequences which occur.For instance let us take an industry sector like a car wash, where you have an issue with reclaiming your water. Now you know you can b

    Tie Tacks - Keeping Suits Nifty One Necktie at a Time
    Italian pinstripe designer suits, a button-down collar, and French cuffs do not a complete outfit make. They need something more, and this something is called a tie tack. A necktie without a tie tack is like potato chips without potatoes. The tie tack improves not only the outfit's form, but also its function. Tale of the Tie Tack Simply put, a tie tack is a short pin with an embellished head. Chains or snaps connect the tack to shirts. Three types of tie tacks exist. The tie bar clips a necktie to a shirt's fold. On the other hand, the tie pin connects a necktie directly to a shirt or chain, which slides through a shirt's butt

    Cubicle Furniture
    Cubicle furniture is designed to give additional privacy in office rooms, reception, and other related areas. It includes furniture ranging from cubicle panels and dividers to office systems. Cubicle furniture comes with different storage options, such as wheeled pedestals, filing drawers, wall cabinets, and free standing shelves. You will find a locking feature, in most cases. Some systems have facilities that can be raised or lowered. Whiteboards, built-in task lighting, tack boards, and coat hangers are among the common additions you can make in cubicle furniture. Keyboard trays are an added addition for furniture with computer related tasks.e and past experience. With the often tight timelines for the tender response, it is critical that time is spent on ensuring the best possible solution to the project’s requirements at the best possible price. Hence, time should be mostly devoted to new thinking, not administrative compilation of past information.

    There is no doubt that a successful track record of implementing or involvement in similar activities will be assessed and contribute to your success or failure for any tender. But this does not mean taking two weeks to find and compile a list of past experiences is time well spent – this can be done now and on an ongoing basis.

    All tenders are likely to request a range of information that demonstrates your experience in past, similar activities. Information required invariably includes the activity name, location and duration, client, project value, key personnel by name and title, and a synopsis of the activity.

    Collating this activity is obviously going to be a challenge if it requires seeking out personnel and past team members for information, relying on memory etc. The solution is to encourage the habit of compiling relevant information as soon as a project or activity commences, and keeping the
