Editorial

nformation Technology has transformed the way we do business in the current digital world. Previously, all the business dealing was done manually, where business required more labor pool to handle those data. Today a simple piece of data for an individual defines its unique identity throughout the globe. All process has been done through storage media, whether it may be cloud or an external hard drives. IT industry is heavily influenced by factors like the global market and sustenance of its rate of growth. The recession in the United States also impacted the IT community in India negatively. These segments are altering and enhancing with vast potential, but there are concerns regarding the demand-supply gap, which is widening. Some challenges which the industry is facing are inadequate infrastructure, tax issues and limited preferential access for local firms

A Comprehensive Outlook on IT Industries

One of the biggest benefits that the computer and IT industry provides in India is the employment it can generate. Other benefits are export and Foreign Direct Investments (FDI). New markets have opened up in the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and South and South East Asia. India is now a major destination for IT outsourcing. There is no dearth of IT job opportunities in India. In fact, India is expected to overtake the US to have the most number of software developers in 2018 (52 lakh developers in India against America’s 42 lakhs). The increasing enthusiasm amongst business leaders across the globe, due to the positive impact being created by digital technologies and disruptive innovation by individuals as well as corporations, will lead to a more collaborative approach amongst the countries, to accelerate and ensure success of this next wave of innovation. While Indian IT companies have shown strong character and readiness to face present day challenges by upgrading their capabilities and offerings in line with emerging technologies and exploring collaborative opportunities with global manufacturers, challenges of the future must also be foreseen, to prosper in this increasingly competitive global environment and to transform our country into a positive India.

What makes conversational UIs more efficient as compared to the traditional 'TAPPING'

e are emotional beings looking for context, relevance and connection in a technology ridden world. And nothing better than the very technology enhancing human interactions and easing out our tasks, right? That’s the reason why by deep diving into the status quo of the AI driven market in particular, we ﬁnd a vested interest in the development of conversational UIs. It comes as a no-wonder for such is the penetration of chat as a medium of conversation today- The average daily time spend on Whatsapp is 50 minutes! Conversational UIs come with a host of personalization's and ease of exploration – only augmented by the chat-toorder ratio of 28% compared with a mere 1.4% on a conventional UI platform. Why really the bet on Conversational UIs over tap based products?

Also, for a user having availed one service on a conversational UI, it becomes really easy apart from time saving to avail the other services owing to the single interface system in place. The user essentially doesn’t have to learn thro’each context of service.

1. Free of endless navigations

According to Nir Eyal, the author of Hooked: How to Build Habit Forming Products , a conversational interface can do something no ordinary dashboard can do - it listens and learns. “By noting the user’s response to the discrete piece of information presented, it remembers whether the insight was valuable”, he says.

While tap based apps claim that the time taken to click on a button is lesser than to type in for availing a service, it only sounds farcical on their part to not have included the time taken to navigate the multiple pages that pop up on clicking multiple buttons, multiple times. Also, for a user who gets stuck, typing out his/her query on the same page, in the ﬂow of conversation is much easier than to click on a help button and wait for directions to click on some other button!

3. On Track, right from the start While a tap based app understands the intention of the user only after the ﬁnal click, perhaps when transaction comes into picture, chatbots strive to direct the user throughout the context of conversation by processing each input along the way to understand their intention thereby providing them with a rich and seamless experience. 4. Listen and Learn

Further, he asserts that communicating with conversational UIs is as simple as talking to a good friend. It is to be noted that like we form routines around turning to important people in our lives, we build habits with our technologies and conversational UIs are a habit forming technology – the very reason millennials prefer texting over calling.

2 Unbounded experience for the users

Stored Value of Products

On a conversational space, the users enjoy the freedom to input their thoughts seamlessly. Meaning, be it an enquiry related to a service being provided or a query of help, the users receive an instant reply which provides them a sense of direction inside the app. Whereas on a tap based app, the users have a covert restriction to click and explore only those stuﬀ meant to be explored. 20

5. Are the stats in our favour? YES!

(Source of data: ubisend blog)

The 2000s were an era of internet. Then came the age of mobile technology in the early second decade of 2000s, which sweeping us oﬀ with smartphones. And with experts predicting bots to replace apps within the next 3-5 years, it seems to be almost time for conversational UIs to revolutionize the market. A recent study indicating that people spend 75 percent of their time on smartphones on text based conversational apps is a good argument for the segment. With high-tech companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft striding steadily towards this sector by ramping up their investments, research and innovation, the market landscape looks promising and appealing. Of course, when Satya Nadella says that chatbots are the next evolution of interfaces after the GUI and that they will fundamentally revolutionize computing, it is hard not to delve into the potential signiﬁcance of the same!

Cloud Resolution

Cloud ComputingT

he Information Technology has become a prominent force in fueling the economic growth of the business world by spreading across the various sectors around the globe. Cloud Computing is one of the innovative platforms in IT which is gaining the prominence in the market of storage and hosting. Economics and convenience are the prime reasons why majority of companies are following the path of Cloud Computing. As the IT market is very dynamic and competitive, innovative ideas in cloud domain are paving way for new prospects and expansions in the market. Apart from basic services like storage and hosting, cloud computing has made tremendous progress towards processing power through technologies like ‘Natural Language Processing’ and ‘Artiﬁcial Intelligence’. As per the research’s conducted by independent organizations, global expenditure on cloud services might reach up to $260 billion this year and around one-third of IT enterprises spending will be directed towards cloud services. These market trends are an indication of growing conﬁdence and reliance on external sources of infrastructure application and security services. There is a radical shift in the companies as they concentrate more on computing as a service rather than investing on the entire setup. This results in decreasing the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and increases the operating expenditure (OPEX) of a business. Although researchers believe that the cost will be a dominant factor for future investments, but there is also a huge demand for new cloud-based innovative solutions. Transforming the Business World As per the analysis of researchers, approximately 80% of businesses will be using cloud services by 2020. Cloud has become a decisive tool to drive business growth and transforms the traditional ways of managing the business. Some of the key ways that Cloud Computing is capable of transforming in today’s business: Enhances Data Recovery Innovative cloud solutions are proving to be the most optimal answers for companies looking for viable disaster 22

recovery plans. This recovery process reduces risk, maximizes productivity and resilience when compared to existing recovery methods. ‘Disaster Recovery as a Service’ (DRaaS) is a new solution that ensures the continuity of critical applications for the business. It offers close real-time redundancy in case of any disaster which can bring the business to a halt. Fuels Business Mobility The cloud based management space is evolving at a fast pace. This platform provides the perfect solution to mobile businesses by keeping everyone connected from any device, irrespective of any geographical restraints. Rapid deployment and integrating diverse devices gives cloud based companies to perform much better. Supports Remote Worker Working with remote workers is another new area where cloud based solutions is in great demand. Remote workers can create virtual desktops which can be accessed from any devices. Also, cloud-based video chat platform allows remote workers to be connected and ensure greater productivity. Evolving Internet of Things (IoT) The core of cloud technology is IoT. Apart from enabling devices to be connected globally, fusion of IoT with technologies like ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is allowing innovations and analysis to redevelop IoT into ‘Internet of Everything’ (IoE).

One thing is clear that whatever software solution you select will not be 100% exactly fit in your today’s business process. But still, the solution must fit and fulfil more than 80% of the current and futuristic business processes.

prospects and clients are many and at various locations for various types of product and services. So you need a system to have a proper, timely management of various task and appointments.

Below are few important pointers which must be considered and looked deeply while selecting a CRM solution for the business development team.

Blend of both Marketing & Sales process

You must understand your pain points You must think and understand your pain points, that why actually you need a CRM solution or software to manage your business processes.

A good business development CRM must cover both marketing and sales process. In almost all organizations we have separate and dedicated marketing and sales team, with the set of deﬁned activities and responsibilities. Many times, we have outsourced some of the marketing activities to any third party who works for us in a region or country, in a particular language. But at the end, this hits our quarterly and annual marketing and brand promotion budget.

The demonetization drive launched by the Indian government and the days following that massive change brought to the fore advantages of e-services. It was just the launchpad, this rapidly evolving business category required. In the following days, Uberiﬁcation, shared economy, the democratization of employment, selective employment, and digital economy were the buzzwords everywhere! Ride hauling services, and e-payment services among others were grabbing the headlines. Powered by the fast Internet, for once the Indian populace understood: they could exist in a cashless economy! And it was the e-services that made this rapid transition happen!

The declining mobile Internet rates across India have also played their part in reaching this new business model to the end users. Services that the People Need This business category has ushered in a life of convenience and comfort for the end users. As mentioned before, one of the key inﬂuencers’ behind the meteoric rise of e-services is the nuclear family based urban ecosystem existing today. While the modern-day nuclear families like to make their purchases from e-commerce stores, they have other requirements too. They want instant help (in the forms of services) to support their fast going lifestyle. Further, the services are needed at prices and timings of their choice.

Unlike their predecessors, the families of the modern times look upon physical searches (for essential services) as a wastage of time and energy. They are looking for solutions on the Internet, to be precise through utility mobile apps. If they find affordable and convenient services, which reaches their doorsteps on time they are happy! And the on-demand and timely e-services are supporting them ideally. Bringing New Employment Scopes While talking about the massive growth of the e-services sector, it should also be pointed out that this business category is ever under the magnifying lenses of the business analysts. As the category facilitates more intensive customer touch points than any other of its peers, it is always under the scrutiny. The scope of operations for the e-services has also expanded in the last few years. The operations scope that was restricted outside homes (through cabs) has now come inside homes (through doorstep deliveries and services). This proliferation of the scope opens room for new support ecosystems such as background verification, skill up gradation and digital coaching, which in turn can open up new employment scopes for Indians. Path Ahead Having harped on the highlights of this sector, it should also be remembered that just like any other developing business category, e-services still needs some time to mature. The services under this category are still grappling with the fundamentals of standardization in the scope of service and experience. As the last mile delivery remains and will 36

remain, for the better part, un-automated having a huge dependency on human efforts. So, the major players need to make judicious choices in terms of their execution plans. Consumers have already got a taste of the convenience that the e-services (doorstep delivery and services) model can offer. And now that they have choices, the differentiating factor for the major players in the niche would be the customer experience or satisfaction quotient. Brands in this business category should rightfully aim at creating brand evangelists, and not just end consumers. Rightfully, many service providers are moving away from judging their success in terms of the vanity metrics and adopting the hardcore ones such as NPS, return usage, cohorts on multiple service adoption etc. Models that Work Business models within this business category are changing at a fast pace, from lead-based to multiple marketplace models. As we move into the future, it would be interesting to watch how these models evolve: whether the unit economies or full stack model works best for the business category. Till date, the major players are doing their own permutations and combinations to find a winning model. Like any other business category, the e-services business sector too would go through the evolution-churn and finally settle down into a tried and tested business model. We at Timesaverz, have had the privilege to witness these interesting changes ongoing in the business category. It has been a fulfilling experience to see e-services grow so fast in India!

Web Hosting

WEB HOSTING PROVIDER E

nterprises make use of their website to reach existing clients and new potential customers. Every piece of information is available on the website in the form of web content, blogs and product and services to educate an individual about the oﬀerings of a company. Organizations make sure that they are reaching the right audience but most of the times there is one common mistake that organizations make -- they do not consider a good web hosting service for their website. Pricing of a hosting service alone does not conclude that the service is suitable for your business; there are multiple functions which a business should consider before availing a hosting service. Some organizations don’t consider this as an important step for their website which ultimately spoils their online presence and leads to loss of acquiring customers. In this blog, we will discuss the necessary points which should be considered while choosing the most appropriate web hosting provider for your website.

Let’s find out how to choose the right web host for your website 1. Understand what type of Web Hosting you need First understand the need of your business and then select the web hosting options accordingly. If your website experiences high traffic, then Dedicated Hosting is the best option for you instead of Shared Hosting which is designed for small websites with limited demands. 2. Choose the right package Opting for shared hosting will provide limited amount of server space and there is also the fear of website slowing down due to multiple websites being hosted on the same server. Dedicated server will provide maximum resources and high performance even when high traffic is experienced. An option like Virtual Private Server (VPS) offers a flexible platform for fast-growing websites but is a bit expensive compared to shared and dedicated hosting. 3. Ensure the right amount of bandwidth Some hosting providers set a threshold limit to the amount of bandwidth you are allowed to use each month. Newlylaunched websites don’t need a lot of bandwidth but eventually they grow and it is a good practice to make sure that the hosting service you have selected doesn’t have a bandwidth lock.

accordingly, there might be another player who is established in the market and will have another package which oﬀers high-end services.

Various web-hosting providers oﬀer services at a very low cost which seems tempting but they actually provide very few features because you only get what you have paid for, and hence, you do not receive service which are essential for your website. There are several packages to choose from based on your website’s requirement. The cheapest plan will oﬀer slow servers, poor customer service and constant downtime whereas a little expensive hosting package will cover almost everything your website needs.

Based on your requirements, look for a hosting provider who will provide you with all the services you need for a good website. Shortlist the service providers which you think are suitable for your needs. Compare packages of other providers and the features which will give you an idea on spending the amount allocated for hosting service.

5. Be thorough with T&C

8. Ask about security

Know exactly what the hosting provider is oﬀering you, understand the complete Terms and Conditions of the service. Read through the document which includes one of the most important aspects which is -- refund policy that you might need later in case you are not happy with the service.

There are a lot of breaches on websites which do not have security layers to protect the content and data which is hacked and eventually compromises important information of users and visitors. Security should be a main concern for any entrepreneur while choosing a hosting provider.

6. Understand the features you need It is very important to understand the needs of your website by which you can ﬁgure out the services you might need. If you have a growing website then don’t select a cheap hosting service which would not have the RAM, storage space and the processing power which would cater to your needs.
