Software Outsourcing India
Software Outsourcing India
Outsourcing is the passing out some work to another company or a person. In other it is contracting the third person to do the particular function. Today almost all the organization outsources in one way or another. The outsourcing companies are called the third party provider or the service providers.
Some organizations outsource the part of the project but some outsource the whole of the project to the third party. Many large companies outsource their work to other companies. They outsource the work to others to save money and time. The outsourcing companies usually agree to do the job at fewer expenses. The outsourcing allows the companies to concentrate on their business issues. In other words the responsibility is shifted to the soldiers of others.
Many companies provides you the facility to outsource software from all over the countries but outsourcing to India is very convenient and of high quality. We provide the service to outsource the software from India .
OUTSOURCING FROM INDIA HAVE MANY BENEFITS WHICH CAN BE SUMMED UP AS BELOW:
Lots of benefits are there to outsourcing from India . As we all know that India is IT superpower. The people are highly educated and professional. The cost of work is least. The most of the important advantage is that its computer engineers are having high caliber. Large number of technical expertise
are there.
Outsourcing software to India is not only beneficial because of its low costs but also because its high quality and speed. Outsourcing from other countries we may face the barriers of the language but outsourcing from India we remain away from this problem because Indians are very proficient in English language. The business language of India is also English. India has pool of highly educated English speaking persons.
To promote IT in India the government also established software technology parks in different states of India . To promote software in India software technology parks are established. So, if you are going to outsource software keep in mind all the benefits of outsourcing from India.

Primary Standards by Optimation Reduces Cost of Measuring Manufacturing Performance
Primary Standards by Optimation Reduces Cost of Measuring Manufacturing Performance
For thirty years Optimation® ( www.optimation.com) has been the world leader in Part Nesting for Optimized Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancement leadership to industry, the company’s new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previous nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation™, allows the system to “see” the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them. When a person looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on the part. This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an area of the nest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessive rotation.
Optimation recently introduced Primary Standards™ which greatly reduces the cost of measuring manufacturing performance. According to Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation, “Primary Standards enables a manufacturer to know how each part produced contributes to the profitability of the company avoiding secondary standards that mislead and cause wrong decisions. Nearly all businesses make measurements and these measurements are intended to tell management about the performance and health of the business. Often these measurements are secondary standards such as square feet produced, tons shipped, contracts signed, units shipped and many others. Managers use these measurements with a false sense of security that they are actually managing the company well.”
The reason for this confusion is that the measurement in question was not designed to reflect the profitability of the company. As an example, consider pieces-per-hour as a measurement. Pieces-per-hour is a rate measurement designed to measure efficiency of a machine or group of machines. There are many reasons why an increase in pieces-per-hour may not cause an increase in profit. The first is the sales price and therefore contribution may be lower for the product mix produced during the month. Another is that raw material may cost more. In addition, there are a number of costs that have nothing to do with productivity that may be out of control during the month.
Optimation offers benchmarking against any other method of part nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiency alone. As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technology guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next available machine, providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor reporting, and material inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially and has the most advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its own capital resources.

For thirty years Optimation® ( www.optimation.com) has been the world leader in Part Nesting for Optimized Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancement leadership to industry, the company’s new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previous nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation™, allows the system to “see” the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them. When a person looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on the part. This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an area of the nest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessive rotation.
Optimation recently introduced Primary Standards™ which greatly reduces the cost of measuring manufacturing performance. According to Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation, “Primary Standards enables a manufacturer to know how each part produced contributes to the profitability of the company avoiding secondary standards that mislead and cause wrong decisions. Nearly all businesses make measurements and these measurements are intended to tell management about the performance and health of the business. Often these measurements are secondary standards such as square feet produced, tons shipped, contracts signed, units shipped and many others. Managers use these measurements with a false sense of security that they are actually managing the company well.”
The reason for this confusion is that the measurement in question was not designed to reflect the profitability of the company. As an example, consider pieces-per-hour as a measurement. Pieces-per-hour is a rate measurement designed to measure efficiency of a machine or group of machines. There are many reasons why an increase in pieces-per-hour may not cause an increase in profit. The first is the sales price and therefore contribution may be lower for the product mix produced during the month. Another is that raw material may cost more. In addition, there are a number of costs that have nothing to do with productivity that may be out of control during the month.
Optimation offers benchmarking against any other method of part nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiency alone. As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technology guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next available machine, providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor reporting, and material inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially and has the most advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its own capital resources.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness and Opc Interlinked Through Gainseeker
Overall Equipment Effectiveness and Opc Interlinked Through Gainseeker
Evan Miller, CEO of Hertzler Systems, manufacturer of GainSeeker Software, “Pollak-ADP is a Six Sigma/Lean shop and has put a lot of emphasis on Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). The company has one particular product with a subfour-second cycle time, which equates to about 17 parts per minute, 22 hours per day and six days a week. By analyzing downtime with GainSeeker, they were able to boost OEE from 65 per cent to 75 per cent, representing more than a $130K increase in throughput. This enabled them to keep up with increased product demand without increasing production capacity (no capital investment) or staff. Pollak-ADP observes that the ability to capture and analyze product and process characteristics real-time enables them to produce high quality products.”
Leading manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, authored a feature article in Industry 2.0 titled, “OPC is the link.” In an industry where competition and innovation keep manufacturers on their toes, Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control drives becomes an enabler increasing overall equipment efficiency according to the author. The entire feature article can be read at http://trcutlerinc.com/Industry%202.0%20May%202008.pdf.
“With this concept in mind, Hertzler Systems added new functionality to GainSeeker SPC (statistical process control), specifically to provide support for Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC). “OPC is the standard computer protocol for communicating with machinery and process controllers,” noted Byron Shetler, Chief Technology Officer, Hertzler. “Supporting OPC creates new opportunities for collecting data from production equipment in real time, performing statistical analysis on the data and then feeding information back to operators, engineers or to the equipment itself.”
Many leading companies sought for support for OPC in recent years, including Pollak-APD. Pollak-APD designs, engineers, tests and manufactures work-enabling devices for the transportation industry based on efficient electro-mechanical actuation technologies.
Hertzler Systems (www.hertzler.com) provides seamless, accurate data acquisition solutions that drive business transformation. The company provides the leading real-time data acquisition and analytics software, the GainSeeker Suite. This powerful and flexible system is best used by lean and progressive companies. Gainseeker Suite allows companies to connect with devices and other information systems, collecting data and alarming key personnel when problems arise; this technology allows organizations to analyze data for root cause problems, converting data into knowledge.

Modern Materials Handling Looks at Qc Software
Modern Materials Handling Looks at Qc Software
Customer requirement: Value-added services are addressed
in the July issue of Modern Materials Handling.
According to Bob Trebilcock, Editor at Large, for
companies selling directly to consumers, the ability to
personalize products before shipment is a
differentiator. Take a company in the direct-selling
industry whose products are sold by consultants to
consumers in their homes. “Consultants not only need all
the items they have ordered, but they need an order
sheet for each of the consultant's customers, says Jerry
List, vice president of QC Software
(www.qcsoftware.com). What's more, List adds, each order
may require additional documentation, like certificates
of authenticity or warranties. “A lot of that
personalization happens at the pack out station,” says
List.
The solution: A warehouse control system. One of QC
Software's direct-selling customers created two packing
lines: One for small orders that can be quickly packed
out without creating bottlenecks and another for larger
orders requiring additional documentation. “In this
case, orders come down to the warehouse control system,”
List says. “It knows from the WMS where inventory is
located, and dynamically determines the best picks to
balance the workload on the line in real-time.”
Once items have been picked to cartons, the WCS sorts
them to a packing station. There, a bar code label on
the carton is automatically scanned, which generates a
list of value-added items for the operator to add to the
carton. “Often, those items may be in a pick-to-light
area, which directs the picking process,” List adds.
Once the documentation has been added to the carton,
it's sealed and sorted to the shipping area, where
compliant labeling and any shipping labels are applied.
A company that could benefit from a WCS tends to have
the following characteristics:
In excess of $50 million in sales
Warehouse of 100,000 sq. ft. or greater
Conveyor system with multiple sortation points
Multiple "islands" of material handling equipment
More than an average of three stock-keeping units (SKUs)
per order
Greater than 1,000 orders per day
QC Software is the leading provider of Tier 1 warehouse
control systems to the warehousing and distribution
industries. Since 1996, QC Software, utilizing state
of the art technology combined with extensive research,
development, and rigorous testing, has developed the QC
Enterprise suite of products. Designed to be modular in
nature, easily configurable, and platform independent,
this highly scalable solution satisfies the needs of any
size warehouse.

Download Registry Fix Programs to Scan Your Pc
Download Registry Fix Programs to Scan Your Pc
When a change is made to the settings of the PC, an entry is created or modified in the PC registry file. Whether you install a program or uninstall one, add or remove a hardware component, or make any changes to the system or network settings the registry is modified. All these new values that are generated in the registry and the changes that take place are stored in the registry that make the registry huge and a registry fix can keep the registry organized.
Why do we need to fix registry problems?
We need to fix registry problems to make sure that the PC performs without any hassles. This is because when the PC registry is clogged up with entries that keep adding up as we use the PC and make changes to the system, the system gets slower and it becomes prone to frequent errors. This happens because when the registry increases and there are multiple entries for a specific component, it takes more time for the operating system to retrieve the data that is essential for running the PC without problems.
Moreover, if the registry fix is not done on a regular basis with registry fix software the problems aggravate and the PC start showing error messages and even restarts on its own. To eliminate these problems and to ensure faster and hassle free computer performance registry fix of these errors is the best effective way.
How can you get a free PC registry fix?
It is absolutely easy to get a free PC registry fix if you download a free registry fix tool from the internet. There are thousands of websites on the internet from where you can download the software and install it to your PC. When you will scan the registry with the software, it will detect the errors in the registry and fix them. It will delete the multiple entries, outdated entries, empty spaces, embedded keys and other errors that make the registry corrupt. By regularly scanning the system you can keep the registry error fee and organized.

Datacraft Solutions’ Van Nostrand Offers Kanban Advice
Datacraft Solutions’ Van Nostrand Offers Kanban Advice
Ron Van Nostrand, CPIM, MBA, is the Services Project Manager for Datacraft Solutions. According to Van Nostrand there are some simple pieces of advice that assist companies in moving forward in digital kanban. The maxims of kanban and pull systems are:
1) never ship bad product to your customer;
2) ship the exact quantity ordered;
3) deliver on-time (not early, not late).
It has been said “Uncertainty is the Mother of All Inventory” (a quote from Martin Christopher). According to Van Nostrand, “Using consumption based replenishment will help your organization lower on-hand inventory levels. As you reduce inventory levels, your exposure to the risk of running out of key items increases and that could stop your production line. Worse, a stock-out can prevent you from shipping on-time to your customers and you could possibly shut down their production lines. It takes time, creative thinking, persistence and negotiating skill to eliminate variability in your supply chain. You seldom have leverage to change the unpredictable demand patterns of your customers, but if you are determined, you can work with your suppliers to change the paradigms of key relationships. If you don’t have a formal Supplier Development Program, start one now. Look for every opportunity to reduce and eliminate variability in your supply chain partners, upstream to suppliers, within your four walls and downstream with your customers. In today’s intensely competitive global marketplace, the most efficient and cost effective supply chain wins. It’s no longer my company versus your company competition. It’s my supply chain against your supply chain. Remember, inventory is expensive and carrying costs run between 20% - 35%. The cost of inventory in your supply chain will always have to be paid by the end customer, so it can be a huge competitive edge when inventory is minimized across the supply chain.”
Datacraft Solutions (http://www.datacraftsolutions.com/\">www.datacraftsolutions.com) delivers a revolutionary digital kanban process of automation solutions to lean manufacturers through a secure Internet gateway, eliminating the need to install and maintain a complex IT infrastructure.

And the help is just a call away.
With a plethora of online computer repair shops available to help you out with your PC errors, you can get your system troubleshoot by certified computer experts at the lowest price. No amount of fun, money or time is enough, though, to compromise your safety. The tech support workers strive to bring you the best in convenience of your own premises. Their success can easily be rated by their day by day growing popularity.
So gone are the days when you needed to haul you PCs to expensive repair shop. Calling computer help resources does not mean ending in frustration now. The technicians taking up your queries are experienced enough to handle all perfectly and proficiently. You are not guided to any pesky number system asking you to press numbers after every other given instruction. Thanks to online computer help which is completely a new idea in computer maintenance.
In addition to being an afternoon of great fun, online computer help not only helps you save money but also time. There is no minimum charge and you can get those nasty tech errors in the minimum time. This helps you to improve your productivity at cost effective prices, instead of forcing you to suffer for weeks or months.
With online computer help resources working to serve your computer support needs, you can easily say goodbye to expensive technicians who charge per incident or per hour. Services such as online PC repair, onsite computer services and other online technical support services are also equally beneficial for small businesses that can’t afford to make large investments to get their PC blues solved.
Another advantage to avail online PC help from tech support shops is 24x7 availability. Customers get assistance by highly trained staff that offers professional, high-quality service at affordable rates in the comfort and convenience of your business or residential location.

Best Web Browser
Best Web Browser?
As a budding ‘surfer’ (back in the days when surfing the web still seemed mysterious and vaguely appropriate), I never took to Internet Explorer. I think it was because every time I opened a link in a new window it always managed to position it somewhere annoying on the monitor. Then again, maybe I just preferred the Netscape Communicator loading button. Either way, from the beginning I was a fan of using programs that didn’t come with Windows, and it’s a trend that I’ve followed to this very day.
It’s not that I enjoy jumping on (or off) the Microsoft bandwagon – they’re too easy to hate and it’s even easier to forget that Windows has provided most of us with the majority of our computing experiences to date. It’s just that if there are features in parts of Windows that annoy me, I turn them off, or find ways to do what I want without being driven into a blind, keyboard ruining rage... damn you, Office Assistant Paperclip!!!
Of course, Netscape is now defunct (though I still amuse myself with a Netscape skin now and then), and at any rate, if I shove nostalgia to one side and let honesty step in, I stopped using it years ago. There is, to my mind, a very obvious replacement, but there are quite a few browsers out there vying for a bigger share of the market. As far as the number of users is concerned, Internet Explorer is and will no doubt remain the King for a long time, but what genuine alternatives are there?
Mozilla Firefox
In my opinion, nothing will beat Firefox. They can rip off ideas but they’ll never take its crown.
Recently in the headlines for setting the Guinness World Record for the most downloaded software in a day, Firefox does what I want it to do without irritating me about it. It introduced me to the idea of tabbed browsing, it’s fast, it lets me choose if I want to view content or not and it has a large community making the applications I want. The idea behind Firefox was to create a stripped down browser that users could add what they liked to it, and for that alone it beat Internet Explorer hands down. I’ve never been able to look back since I discovered tabbed browsing. In short, it’s great, and it saddens me that it still only has a market share approaching 20%. Looked at in another light, however, when you consider that the vast, vast majority of PC’s come with Internet Explorer installed as standard, this is quite a feat, and one that will no doubt impress further as Firefox 3 gains momentum.
The jury is still out somewhat for Firefox 3 – it looks better than Firefox 2, I like the big back button and the new browsing options. But it just doesn’t feel different enough, and I’ve come across a few irritating styling issues with it that didn’t crop up with v2. Still, I’ll be used to it before long, and a few small glitches here and there are to be expected with any new release.
Opera
Opera is a very close contender to Firefox in my mind. Maybe Firefox 3 will lose out to it in the long run, but I just can’t get my head around the position of the home button in the browser (mainly because I don’t trust the Google toolbar , and I never will) – it’s not mixed in with the back, forward and refresh buttons. I like a very minimalist browser, and Opera isn’t set up to have that one button where I want it. Small annoyance, I know, but there you are.
That said, I love Opera’s style, it seems very quick, I appreciate the ease of installing new apps (doesn’t require restarts), and I think the speed dial is a marvellous thing, a far better way of using bookmarks. I like the little page previews that pop out of the tabs and for some reason I like the name. The ability to set up automated page refreshing is nice, too – it’s uncluttered, modern, and I like it, a lot. Home button! Why!
Maxthon
Maxthon is a free browser that is based on Internet Explorer. That is, it effectively runs a heavily modified version of it. And by heavily modified, I mean a lot, lot better.
Maxthon is quite close to Opera in many ways. Like Opera (and Firefox 3) you can use mouse gestures to perform simple tasks, but unlike both of them, Maxthon draws your gesture on the screen and this makes it a lot easier to work out what you’re doing. It is full of little innovations that I like – for instance, if you highlight some text and then drag and drop it anywhere on the page, Maxthon ‘Google’s’ it immediately. You can rearrange the toolbars and buttons with a drag and drop as well, and it has a nice, clean look and a decent speed. Sadly, it seems a lot of the community behind Maxthon is based in Asia, and so for that reason alone it comes behind Opera – just. For now!
Flock
Just as Maxthon is based on Internet Explorer, Flock is based on Firefox. The browser itself seems to be overly graphical to me, so I find it annoying, but Flock is a bit different to most web browsers. A self-styled ‘Social Web Browser’, Flock is designed for those who just can’t get enough Facebook, Blogger and YouTube in their lives.
And this is where Flock comes in to its own. A special sidebar displays all the latest social network updates once you’ve logged in to your accounts, and it enables you to upload large amounts of photos and videos to sites. It also lets you drag and drop text, links etc to your pages, and has a built in Blog editor (drag and drop again!).
So, for me, it’s a bit over the top – but if your primary use for the Internet is blogging or hanging around on a social network, Flock is a browser you should definitely consider. The potential is quite astounding.
Internet Explorer
Love it or hate it, Internet Explorer is still the King, Queen and Jack of Web Browsers. I hate it less with each successive version, but the fact that every single browsing experience feels like a chore doesn’t go away. I use it for Windows Update (grr) and irritating forays into Hotmail that require me to paste links into a better browser. And by the time they fix it I’ll still be using something else – even the tabs idea is badly implemented. I’d rather use Safari.
Safari
No I wouldn’t. My Safari experience: I want to install Safari. No, Safari, not QuickTime. I don’t use QuickTime if I can help it, go away. No, I don’t want to install iTunes. I don’t have an iPod. And I don’t want to install iTunes and QuickTime. No. Yes. I want to install Safari. Thank you. That was quick, ah, good. Do I want to search for updates. Okay, why not. Oh. Do I want to install QuickTime or iTunes.
Close. Uninstall. Last place.
So. All round I can’t recommend any web browser as much as Firefox. I’m interested by Maxthon, and like to dabble with Opera, and I think the idea behind Flock is excellent (it’s also based on Firefox, so I like it a little bit more). Though it will always be a case of horses for courses – some people actually prefer Safari...

A Laptop Computer
A Laptop Computer
A laptop computer, or simply ‘laptop‘, is a small battery powered personal computer that usually weighs around 1 to 8 kilograms.
These days, many office workers use their laptop as their primary source for computing using an external mouse, keyboard and monitor when in the office, and using the laptop‘s organic screen, pointing device and keyboard when traveling.
Laptops usually run on a single main rechargeable battery, or from an external AC/DC adapter that charges the battery while also supplying power to the computer itself.
Laptop batteries usually last from between 2 and 5 hours between recharges. New battery technology due for release this year, is set to extend their useful life by factors of 3 or 4 times.
Most laptops also have a button cell battery to run the clock and store the computer‘s bios. In most cases, the laptop also holds an image of the main operating system that can be used to restore full functionality after a virus attack or other computing disaster.
Laptops contain components that are similar to their desktop counterparts and perform the same functions, but are miniaturized and optimized for mobile use, low weight and efficient power consumption.
Typically the laptop gives less computing power per dollar because they use customized components and propriety designs to lower weight and give lower power consumption.
Laptops usually have colour liquid crystal displays, and most of them use different memory modules than standard personal desktop computers .
In addition to a built-in keyboard, they may also offer users a touchpad (also known as a trackpad) or a track-ball for input, though an external keyboard or mouse can usually be attached.
The first commercially available portable computer was the Osborne 1 in 1981, which used the CP/M operating system. The Osborne 1 weighed 10.7 kgs, had a tiny 13cm CRT display, and a single density floppy disk.
Although it was large, heavy and useless compared to today‘s laptops, it had a revolutionary impact on business. Computing and engineering professionals were able to take their computer and data with them for the first time.
Since these early days the major developments in laptops have been focused on processing power, weight reduction, price reduction, battery life, and more recently, aesthetics.
It wasn‘t until the mid to late 1990s that laptop computers became common place as prices reduced and they became less burdensome to travel with. As far aesthetics are concerned, Apple‘s range of laptop computers are examples of brilliant industrial design combined with serious computing power.
Weighing in at less than 3 pounds, the MacBook Air is less than .77 inches thick and will run for up to 5 hours on a single charge.
The future for laptops looks promising. As industrial design and battery technology improves, laptops will get faster, smaller and lighter. The laptop will become more of an industrial strength PDA than a computer. It won‘t be too long until you will be able to get full computing power in a handheld device 12 x 12 cms by 8mm thick. The Apple iPhone is half-way there.

planning, analysis and design; creates a functional
hierarchy for the software.
Functional Specification: A document that describes
in detail the characteristics of the product with
regard to its intended features.
Functional Testing: See also Black Box Testing.
Testing the features and operational behavior of a
product to ensure they correspond to its
specifications.
Testing that ignores the internal mechanism of a
system or component and focuses solely on the
outputs generated in response to selected inputs
and execution conditions.

Glossary - E (part 1)
Emulator: A device, computer program, or system that accepts the same inputs and produces the same outputs as a given system.
Endurance Testing: Checks for memory leaks or other problems that may occur with prolonged execution.
End-to-End testing: Testing a complete application environment in a situation that mimics real-world use, such as interacting with a database, using network communications, or interacting with other hardware, applications, or systems if appropriate.
Equivalence Class: A portion of a component's input or output domains for which the component's behaviour is assumed to be the same from the component's specification.
Equivalence Partitioning: A test case design technique for a component in which test cases are designed to execute representatives from equivalence classes.
Exhaustive Testing: Testing which covers all combinations of input values and preconditions for an element of the software under test.

Glossary - D (part 1)
Data Dictionary: A database that contains definitions of all data items defined during analysis.
Data Flow Diagram: A modeling notation that represents a functional decomposition of a system.
Data Driven Testing: Testing in which the action of a test case is parameterized by externally defined data values, maintained as a file or spreadsheet. A common technique in Automated Testing.
Debugging: The process of finding and removing the causes of software failures.
Defect: Nonconformance to requirements or functional / program specification
Dependency Testing: Examines an application's requirements for pre-existing software, initial states and configuration in order to maintain proper functionality.
Depth Testing: A test that exercises a feature of a product in full detail.
Dynamic Testing: Testing software through executing it. See also Static Testing.
