WICAMP – JUNE 13 ‘08 @ CHENNAI

Chennai

This WICAMP is conducted by Wipro Infotech. This camp was organized by Mr. Pavan Soni. In this camp well qualified person came from different companies. Mainly in this camp both technical and non technical companies are participated and also the professionals came from different places. It is the unique conference they splash out their thoughts and creativity. By this conference we learned about their thoughts and the creativity is done across the industry and also we viewed the professional’s ideas. So many presentations are done in this camp. The well qualified persons are came from Wipro Infotech Accenture, Satyam, Infosys, Universal Print Systems Ltd, Rang De, etc., and also the professionals. The main theme was Discipline vs Creativity.

Audience

It is very enthusiastic and started with self introduction and they started with fearless presentation about the Innovation. He pointed out that mainly it depend upon the customer satisfaction and he suggest that innovation should not be made in the already existing system it should be new intellectual innovating product.

One of the person from Accenture from his point of view he said in our company no research like new innovation cannot be done. Only with existing product they do their innovation.

Shyam presenting his creativity

Another person spoke about the Innovation in globalization and in localization and also they put their questions towards the audience too and also they viewed their creative and thoughts too. While presenting he said examples with Idly and Chhaya. It’s very interesting but he can’t able to share it properly because question arises from audience that time argument moved to some other topic.

RangDe Team is presenting their Innovation

From Rang De people started to talk about the Poverty in India. The energetic start given by Mr. Ram and Ms.Smita they are viewing about the borrowers of money. They are providing the loan in villages and viewing their borrowers. Each Social Investor invests as little as Rs. 1000 which will given to borrowers within a 30 days time, and who repays these loans at an interest rate of 3.5%.Then Mr.Pavan put on their question too audience they said to considering the borrower they asked to view about the investment. So Rang De people said now only we started to view their investment. Rang De people doing their social services and also they felt most of the people in society are not supportive because of their family situations and also because of work loads. So they took the audience to full of emotions. Another person talk about the innovation in Ecosystem.

Syed express his emotion by viewing audience

One of the person presented that the investors are shaping the new innovators in technology wise they don’t have that knowledge to communicate they are lacking in communication skill but we are shaping them in communication wise also in technical wise but after they grown they are moving to some other concern or to abroad. But they are earning more than us we are in developing stage only. At that time Pavan in Wipro Technology said that we are hiring the people in the way ‘S- scale’. He said the bottom of the S is the investors they should be strong in technology. They are helping for growing people then we hired the well shaped person to the top of the S. This is the S- scale method following in Wipro Infotech. So Pavan asked what’s wrong in doing like this. Then Pavan put on this question to audience they said you should be proud only because of you only that growing person are well shaped. Then that person said I’m very proud to be like that. While argument going on that presentation he can’t able to share their thoughts properly. He can’t able to delivered it because while presenting itself all the audience splashing out the questions towards on him and their thoughts too. Before end up this presentation in between Pavan said for T – break. This is also one of the reasons to cant able to share about their thoughts. So this presentation stops in between while presenting itself. So this thought cannot be share it properly in this camp.

Pavan Soni through out the question to audience

Is there SecondLife in the Printing World ? Part 2

upsl — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 06:24:57 +0000

In continuation, is there SecondLife in the Printing World part 1

like to share with you some information .It has a tremendous potential in terms of business and commercial.

So, how does SecondLife impact the print community?

– In the first part of the article, introduced you the virtual world, second life, and suggested that there were sufficient real world business opportunities therein to be worth thinking about in a businesses first life. For example, in these early days of SecondLife, there are already many Members/residents that have a creative background, such as artists and designers. They use SecondLife not only as a platform to demonstrate their art from their real life, but also to express themselves differently and to create new (virtual) art. Modeling tools in SecondLife allow the artists also to create new forms of art, that in many ways are not possible in real life due to physical constraints or high associated costs. The virtual arts are visible for example in the SecondLife Louvre, a virtual representation of the Louvre Museum. And, the artists own their Intellectual Property as if it had been created in the real world.

This real world business in SecondLife makes sense as many of the Members are Creatives with graphic design, programming and a host of other skilled backgrounds.

Says Linden, the developer: But, as the world matures, much of this art will come in to the mainstream and be translated into print and other salable forms. From our viewpoint, what’s really neat about this is that Linden Lab’s Terms of Service agreement recognizes the Residents’ right to retain full intellectual property protection for the digital content they create in SecondLife, including their avatar characters, clothing, scripts, textures, objects and designs. This right is enforceable and applicable both in-world and offline, both for non-profit and commercial ventures. You create it, you own it – and it’s yours to do with as you please, just like in the real world.

There is even specific activity that relates to the printing industry, Semper International recently published a news release announcing the opening of a SecondLife office to help with staffing. It stated:

“Semper is excited to be working at the forefront of this new, ‘revolutionary’ recruiting world. … From our SecondLife location, we can connect with potential job seekers, register them with our company, interview and link them directly to jobs. We also expect to develop a training curriculum for our own internal employees in areas such as database navigation, recruiting techniques and selling concepts,” comments Brian Regan, Semper International Chief Operating Officer. “We also intend to use SecondLife as a way to connect with our clients and demonstrate our services in a virtual conference setting. As we see it, the virtual sky is the limit.”

This real world business in SecondLife makes sense as many of the Members are Creatives with graphic design, programming and a host of other skilled backgrounds. Many work at marketing departments of the large corporations that are trying to develop their own marketing platforms. These Creatives are the same people who still need print in the ‘real world,’ and especially in a real world in which unique and very short run digital print is taking on a larger and larger dimension. We have been told that there are already some real world printing companies set up to capture for new business in this virtual world.

Printers and print vendors should jump in and begin to see how it can work for them.

Is there SecondLife in the Printing World…….

Is there SecondLife in the Printing World? Part 1

-Commentary by Steve Aranoff & Robert FitzPatrick, The EAGLE

As you all know, The EAGLE has been writing about topics of interest to our readers, many times before others take notice. Because one of us was located in Silicon Valley, we became early proponents of the use of the internet in the printing marketplace. In our consulting business and our writing, we were among the first to recognize how important the nascent internet was going to become. An early White Paper of ours published by Nagasa in 1996 gently began to suggest that print market companies should begin to develop web sites, and to put their web address on all of their correspondence. Looking back, you wouldn’t think this was necessary. After all, today, who in this industry doesn’t have a web site? For many of us, our web strategy, whether it’s to show customers what we have, to provide data to outside sales personnel, to converse with our customers, or to provide worldwide support information, in a prominent part of our marketing mix. There is no longer any question about the importance of a good web site to growth and customer satisfaction.

Many of you may not know what we’re introducing. It is called SecondLife! Don’t go away thinking that this doesn’t have a business connotation.

Flash forward another decade to 2007. Universal Print Systems Ltd, Chennai, is about to make the same point, this time with respect to something less tangible, but potentially just as explosive. Many of you may not know what we’re introducing. It is called SecondLife! Don’t go away thinking that this doesn’t have a business connotation. It is important to note from the start, that some well known large businesses, banks, and governments have already begun to buy into this concept. Specifically with respect to the printing community, you should recognize some of these companies:

Sears, a major retailer with significant print requirements, The Bombay Company, a major catalog and retailer, and Semper International, a print staffing firm think so.
We think you will too after you understand how real SecondLife is becoming.

So, what is SecondLife?

Many people think it’s what the Internet is going to become.

Some think it is similar to Web 2.0 and social networking. In reality, Second Life is an Internet-based virtual world which is just coming to international attention via the mainstream news media. You can learn more about it at: secondlife.com. It was developed by Linden Lab, and works through a downloadable client program that enables its users, called “Residents”, to interact with each other. Members work through motional “avatars,” in a make believe world that provides an advanced level of a social networking combined with what can only be described as a meta universe, a universe parallel to the real one. In this Universe, residents can explore, meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, create and can trade both virtual and real items and services with one another.

While SecondLife is sometimes considered a “game,” this description is really inaccurate. It does not have points, scores, winners or losers, levels, an end-strategy, or any of the other game like characteristics. It is a semi-structured virtual environment where characters undertake activities supposedly for the purpose of enjoyment. Some people take this opportunity to shed their worldly life for a better one where they essentially “live” their real life by participating in a second life.

The astounding thing is that more than six million accounts have already been registered. While some are inactive, and others multiple accounts, growth has been rapid, almost viral, and far quicker than might have been expected. SecondLife.com also has competitors; however, it is the most dominant site.

Some think it is similar to Web 2.0 and social networking. In reality, Second Life is an Internet-based virtual world which is just coming to international attention via the mainstream news media.

This is not kid stuff. Not beginning to consider how this new phenomena might impact your business is at your own peril. As indicated, there is already some significant seriousness to SecondLife. For example:1. IBM has opened a virtual business center that is staffed by IBM Sales Representatives from around the world. Member Clients, who want to buy hardware, software or services, or get help solving a business problem, can meet with a real IBM employed sales rep in this new IBM Business Center.
2. Diverse companies such as retailer merchandisers Adidas, Sears and The Bombay Company to technology giants such as IBM and Sun Microsystems have opened up virtual storefronts, or advertise there.

3. News agency Reuters has a one-man press office covering developments there.
4. Nasdaq CEO Bob Greifeld recently said publicly that he could imagine opening up a stock exchange in Second Life. “We have actually contemplated it,” he said. But our readers should note that there is already a virtual stock exchange running there.

5. In the banking world, Denmark’s Saxo Bank plans to offer SecondLife residents the ability to manage their real-life financial portfolios from within the virtual world, and says that it may eventually create a branded market to trade the Linden dollar against real-world currencies. They’ve already been beaten into the meta universe by Dutch bank ABN AMRO NV who has actually opened up a branch inside the virtual world. ABN says it will create a complete virtual bank resembling their real-life bricks and mortar outlets, and even begin offering financial advice. They have both been already beaten into the market by smaller entrepreneurs that convert currency by accepting Linden Dollars in trade for real U.S. currency.

In the 2nd part of this article, we will discuss how SecondLife can have a real impact on the printing community.

UPSL was keen on showcasing web 2.0 social networking software SecondLife. In the begining we were quiet shy and hesitant as we never had an oppertunity to do this kind.But slowly we had set up our computers and in a corner of the hall we did some demos for a few interested persons. The second day of the Proto.in was an half day session . After the meet there was a good crowd gathered around us when we were just trying out SecondLife for ourselves. A very enthusisatic crowd ,keen to know,learn and how to put to use…..! The day ended with a note of satisfaction with all the efforts taken. Good number of enquires wanting SecondLife services.
