Talk is Cheap. Not Talking is Expensive.

Work is a relationship — a relationship with your customers and with your employees. Businesses will have whole departments dedicated to communicating with the public, but sometimes forget the art of communicating with their own workers.

Recently oDesk interviewed Nick Krym, the outsourcing guru behind Pragmatic Outsourcing. He's a technology professional with over two decades in the IT industry, and he’s been outsourcing to offshore teams for more than 15 years. And he says it's all about communication

"Just because I say something to you doesn’t mean we have an understanding," Krym said, before giving away some solid advice:

• Have a single point of contact on each side and be clear, clean and concise in your communication.
• The buyer must take ownership in the project — including communicating the job requirements. Don’t expect the provider to understand what you need without context.
• Divide jobs into multiple, tangible milestones, not just status reports.
• Review the job progress regularly and adjust the plan as soon as you notice potential roadblocks.

Even well-prepared, well-communicated assignments hit bumps in the road sometimes. "That’s life," Krym says. "You correct the mistakes, you communicate in a clearer way, and you get better results at the next milestone."

Document Management a Priority in Asia/Pacific CMS Market

Demand for document management and record management software is set to grow by over 7% every year for the next five years in the Asia/Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) region, according to new research by IT market research company IDC (news, site).

"In India, Singapore, China, and Australia, managing content published on the Web is the top role played by CM software," said Ridhi Sawhney, market analyst of Asia/Pacific Software Research at IDC. "Managing content with ever-increasing volumes of information, mounting regulatory pressure, and disparate applications with isolated data repositories, remains a big challenge. There is continuous demand for content management software from legacy businesses and developing countries as organizations endeavor to transition from manual overlay systems to automated systems.

Collectively, the top five vendors that include IBM, EMC, HP, Oracle and Interwoven, represent approximately 58 percent of the CM market in the region, said IDC, adding that local vendors like Newgen Software and Cyberdime are also growing strong and are among the top 10 in the region.

Risk and compliance continue to drive the demand for records management and is basically used for regulatory requirements and business processes, said IDC.

The demand for Web CM is driven more by the desire to enhance and reinforce brand, build customer loyalty, accelerate delivery of new products and services, and create competitive advantage, the analyst firm added.

IDC said that findings of IDC’s Asia/Pacific Software Adoption Survey conducted in first half of  2009 suggest that spending intentions for CM software are generally promising.

Most respondents indicated that they are planning to increase spending on CM software currently deployed and that ranges from 27.7 percent to 37.9 percent of respondents, depending on the type of CM software, IDC noted.

The survey also reveals that India and China are the leading countries that are currently using records and document management and will increase their spending in the next 18 months, the research house noted.

Whereas, Australia is one country with a high percentage of respondents that are using document management (15.2 percent), digital and Aasset Management (17.1 percent) and capture & image management (26.6 percent) now but intend to decrease such spending over the next 18 months or so, IDC said.

Despite a generally flat world economy, it seems that the content management systems market is buzzing even in the APEJ region with a predicted annual spend of US$ 308.42 million by 2013.

The research only confirms trends already identified in the US earlier with reports from both Forrester and AIIM showing that a considerable majority of firmswere planning major investments in IT, and in particular in document and records management software.

Asia-Pacific or Apac is that part of the world in or near the Western Pacific Ocean. The area includes much of East Asia, Southeast Asia, Australasia and Oceania). Sometimes the term Asia-Pacific includes South Asia though India and its neighbours are on or near the Indian Ocean rather than the Pacific Ocean.

Although an imprecise geographical descriptor, the term Asia-Pacific became popular from the late 1980s as the economies within the heterogeneous region flourished due to increased regional capital flow, trade and other forms of economic and political interaction.

In some contexts, the region may extend further to include major Asian countries, as well as those around the Pacific Rim, stretching from Oceania, up to Russia
The Asia-Pacific region generally includes:

Australia  Brunei  Cambodia  People's Republic of China  Hong Kong  Macau  Taiwan  Fiji  India  Indonesia  Japan  Kiribati  North Korea

South Korea  Laos  Malaysia  Marshall Islands  Federated States of Micronesia  Nauru  Nepal  New Zealand  Pakistan  Palau  Papua New Guinea  Philippines  Samoa  Singapore

Solomon Islands  Thailand  Timor-Leste  Tonga  Tuvalu  Vanuatu  Vietnam United States Territories:  American Samoa  Guam  Northern Mariana Islands

Pakistan removed from the Internet

Pakistan removed from the Internet by ZDNet's Richard Stiennon -- 4:30 PM Eastern (US).

The telecom company that carries most of Pakistan’s traffic, PCCW (one of the largest communications provider in Asia), has found it necessary to shut Pakistan off from the Internet while they filter out the malicious routes that a Pakistani ISP, PieNet, announced earlier today.

Evidently PieNet took this step to enforce a decree from the Pakistani government that ISP’s must block access to YouTube because it was a source of "blasphemous content, videos and documents".

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority sent this e-mail to their customers:

Dear Valued Customer:
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has directed all ISPs of the country to block access to www.youtube.com web site for containing blasphemous web content/movies.
The site would remain blocked till further orders from PTA. Meanwhile, Internet users can write to youtube.com to remove the objectionable webcontent/movies because this removal would enablethe authorities to order un-blocking of this website.
We're sorry for any inconvenience.
Best Regards
Manager Technical Assistance Center Micronet Broadband Pvt. Ltd. Islamabad

The authority did not specify what the offensive material was, but a PTA official said the ban concerned a movie trailer for an upcoming film by Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders, who has said he plans to release an anti-Koran movie portraying the religion as fascist and prone to inciting violence against women and homosexuals.

In the past twenty five years Geert Wilders has visited Israel about forty times, where he has met with, among others, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert. Furthermore, he claims to have tight connections with the Mossad and to love Israel:

"The past years I have visited many interesting countries, from Tunisia to Turkey and from Cyprus to Iran, but nowhere I have that special feeling of solidarity that I always get if I set foot on the Israeli Goerion-airport."

Geert Wilders caused an uproar by writting at the Volkskrant that:

"The Koran is a facist book which incites violence. That is why this book, just like Mein Kampf, must be banned."

The Government of Pakistan is also keen on banning and censors all internet traffic by means of routing all connections through a central exchange which is administered by the Internet Exchange.
Furthermore Pakistani ISPs are also under orders to block certain websites on their own routers.

A common target by major ISPs in Pakistan was the weblogs hosted at blogspot.com among other important social networking websites.

Non Latin-language websites

1001 Webs provides translation and localization of websites, which involves the translation of both visible content and HTML and XML code (Title Tags, Meta Tags, Alt Tags, etc.) and the adaptation of all the scripting components (Databases, Active Server Pages, Javascript, PHP, Perl, etc.).

And now 1001webs is going truly Global with the incorporation of Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Arabic versions of our website.

We have come across this excellent article at the Technology section of The Guardian Unlimited:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2006/jul/27/guardianweeklytechnologysection5

Below are some excerpts:

Read this for starters:

"Despite everything you may have heard, the global resource we all know as the internet is not global at all. Since you are reading this article in English you probably won't have noticed, but if your first language was Chinese, Arabic, Hindi or Tamil, you would know very different."

Ever wondered about ASCII codes and implementation in non-Latin languages:

"the term ASCII itself. It stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange and it is the code devised to enable computers to represent and process all the characters in the English alphabet (a through to z, plus 0 to 9 and the various symbols you get on your keyboard such as % and &).
It was first developed in 1967 and written into the internet's foundations by American scientists. It is now so hardwired into the net that the only way to include other characters such as accents on letters, or Chinese or Arabic script, is to use complex combinations of letters that don't exist in English words in order to represent them.
Linguists have created long tables to represent all the possible combinations and permutations of different languages. In the case of internet domain names, the address is preceded by "xn--" and then an agreed code. For example "www.rémax.com" is represented as "www.xn--rmax-bpa.com". Using this method, it suddenly becomes possible to have internet domain names containing foreign characters, and hence foreign language domain names."

But:

"From the western perspective this approach was sufficient for the rest of the world to use the internet. But the problem is that each of these domains still has to use the existing domain system with ".com" or ".net" - suffixes that are virtually incomprehensible to non Latin- derived language users."

and the conclusion is:

"... with non- Latin-language networks becoming increasingly advanced, China making it clear it is prepared to break away from the internet, MINC touting a solution that could bypass its processes altogether and, perhaps most crucially, Microsoft deciding to include IDN10 technology in the new version of Internet Explorer, out later this year, Icann has been left with no choice but to speed up the technical side of internationalised domain names in a bid to keep the net together."

We strongly recommend all of our International partners, specially those managing the Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Arabic versions of 1001webs, to read the full article at the Technology section of The Guardian Unlimited:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2006/jul/27/guardianweeklytechnologysection5, so they get a clearer idea of the difficulties of working with those languages.

Some Links of Interest:

ICANN
ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers. These include domain names (like .org, .museum and country codes like .uk, .fr, .pt, .de, .es, .jp, .cn, .etc), as well as the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols. Computers use these identifiers to reach each other over the Internet. Careful management of these resources is vital to the Internet's operation.

American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII)
ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that work with text. Most modern character encodings — which support many more characters than did the original — have a historical basis in ASCII.

China gives itself its own top-level domains
China has decided to bypass ICANN altogether and set up its own set of TLDs and domain name servers. In addition to the .cn TLD, China will have three new Chinese-character TLDs equating to "dot China," "dot com," and "dot net."

Guidelines for International Partners at 1001webs.net

Dear Associates,

1001webs.net has finally launched the International versions of its website.

These are the Guidelines:

Each associate is made fully responsible for managing its site.
Their duties include translating into their language and maintaining their section at 1001 webs.

Every order placed in their respective languages is routed exclusively to each associate, who must keep in touch with the client, negotiate orders and develop websites based in the CMS systems we offer.

Billing for each job is also responsibility of each associate, except for:

- Domain Registrations, is an affiliate venture with a US provider and is fully automatic.
There's more expenses than gain from that part and we have only added for the sake of having more functionality in our site.

- Hosting, which is a partnership with SiteGround, an ISP that specializes in CMSs Hosting.
Please use the following link to register with SiteGround:
http://www.siteground.com/

- Template section, which is also fully automated, and you may include your own affiliate code for Templates.
To sell our Templates at our site or any other, please go to:
http://www.1001webs.net/en/affiliates_en.html
and fill out the form.
Implementation of the Templates at your website is very simple (copy&paste).
Afterwards you don't have to worry about a thing, and you will receive 20% on each sale through 1001webs.net.
Obviously if you implement it at our site you are guaranteed to receive a high boost in traffic, since we are targeting several International markets, but you are welcome to display the Templates at any other website.

Customer Service, Online Help and Billing for Registration, Hosting and Templates are all provided for free.

You are also allowed to use your own AdSense code for some of the ads displayed at our site.
Please request a Google account from us to register an AdSense account, if you don't have one already.
We'd prefer that you only use graphic banner ads (160x600) for the left side and Leaderboard (728x90) for underneath the main text.

The languages we are setting up at the moment are:

http://www.1001webs.net/en/index_en.html
English Version

http://www.1001webs.net/fr/index_fr.html
French Version

http://www.1001webs.net/de/index_de.html
German Version

http://www.1001webs.net/pt/index_pt.html
Portuguese Version

http://www.1001webs.net/es/index_es.html
Spanish Version

On a second stage we're planning to add:
- Hindi
- Chinese
- Japanese
- Russian

But we also realized that if we have people with high graphic/translation/technical skills in other languages, there's no reason why we could not offer the same services.
It will benefit every side and there's nothing to lose.

We're not going to create a whole section for them as with the other major languages, but we are planning to setup a Joomla installation where all those languages can be offered as well.
For the time being, we think it is the best solution for every side.

In any case, we wish you all Good Luck and sincerely hope we can build a prosperous relationship.

Kind Regards,
1001webs.net
