Navinder Singh Chauhan, Vice President Marketing, iRevo Multimedia

2,50,000 Gram Panchayats to get connected, more than 4.5 lakh crores to be invested in India in next 3 years. Are you ready to Capitalize and be a part of this huge opportunity? Remember your first Smart Phone? We have come a long way. Once in 80s era having a TV was THE THING. Then came Pagers and the new millennium (2,000) brought the Mobile phones revolution. Mobile gave us the power in our hand, power of two way communication. It changed the way we lived and has impacted each and every part of our life. The word Smart became a main stream word with Smart Phones, we saw Smart phone getting popular in India in late 2000. What defines a phone as a smart phone is what all it does besides a primary function of voice calling. A typical Smart Phone is used for; besides voice calls; e-mail, web browsing, apps, picture taking and so on. One can infer from this use pattern and definition that a device is a Smart Device if it can perform functions; reasonably well; besides the primary intended function of the device. Indian eco-system is ripe for Smart Devices that

goes beyond smart phones. The need has arisen to connect and empower Millions of country men still not touched or enabled by Digital Revolution. Before we discuss more about Smart Devices, let us discuss the importance of Digital India. Digital India is an initiative of the Government of India to bring various government functions and services to the people of India, not just urban population but to all citizens of India. Its aim is to deliver government services to citizens electronically, which otherwise canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easily or economically delivered at a scale required. To achieve this goal, Government plans to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks. How and why it is important for us (IT Partners and companies like iRevo) to notice and be ready to be part of this initiative? You all are aware that Billions of Rupees have been invested, allocated and further promised by large Industrial houses. Government has put in place a plan to build this internet infrastructure under the Digital India program with heavy focus on Rural India. Who would want to miss this opportunity? We have already seen almost

linear or negative growth in many product categories; such as traditional WinTel PCs and now tablets. With the build out of internet infrastructure that reaches a large part of the country and population, there will be a huge demand for devices that citizens can use to connect to internet. Citizens are further incentivised via inexpensive high speed internet (Rs. 150/month for rural and Rs. 250/month urban) for receiving an array of information and services. Such massive demand by a rural population that would be a first time user of technology products requires devices that are technologically superior, easy to use, and made per demands of Indian environment and are widely available at an affordable price. This requires an eco-system of companies which would not think and act like a traditional business but an eco-system of companies and distribution partners eco-system that would think outside the box. It is envisioned that Companies making such devices for connecting people to internet will work closely with partners and each will invest time in educating this new and vast customer base. We envision an eco-system of Smart Thinking

Intel launches Phase Two Of Intel Security Partner Program

Intel Security has announced its second phase of advancements to the Intel Security Partner Program to improve profitability and efficiency for distributors and resellers. The first phase of the roll-out was announced in October 2014 to create a flexible framework for future enhancements to the program, as distributors and resellers evolve their business models and adapt to the changing customer landscape. The second phase of the Intel Security Partner Program initiative seeks to innovate and invest in driving differentiation and profitability. Improvements initiated with the second phase include: • Removal of Tiered Pricing: Eliminating tiered pricing allows Intel Security to reallocate funds to more profitable offerings that improve retained margin • Improved Deal Registration: Rewards members based upon their Intel Security Partner Program level, by limiting deal registration to one partner per each approved partner-found sales opportunity. This also simplifies the Deal Registration process by consolidating to one registration form. • New Teaming Plan: Investment in resellers that have committed to building an Intel Security practice and are engaged in adding value to Intel Security found deals. The plan is intended to increase profitability and deal protection for the partner, streamlining the approval process. Intel is continuously improving the Intel Security Partner Program in a way that is mutually beneficial and helps distributors and resellers grow. The series of enhancements are part of an 18 month multi-phased evolution program.
