The CIOs have spoken…

224 CIOs participated in the CIO Association of India‘s annual survey on India’s Most Respected Technology Vendors.

We asked them the question “Which technology vendor (operating in India) do you respect the most?“

Key Findings:

1. IBM continues to dominate the list. Even though it has lost more than 8% of the votes compared to 2012, it is still almost three times as respected as the next name on the list.
2. Oracle and Google are no longer part of the top 10, they were at 6th and 10th place respectively in 2012.
3. Microsoft has gained four spots, jumping from 8th to 4th place.
4. Dell and HP have exchanged places, Dell is now 2nd and HP occupies the 3rd spot.
5. Cisco has dropped three places from 4th to 7th.
6. EMC and Cognizant are the new entrants into the top 10.

The above line recalls one more new article:

Cognizant displaced Infosys to become the second-largest Indian IT services provider

E&Y's Report on Social Media Marketing in India - 2013

Very interesting report …

 

E&Y’s Report on Social Media Marketing in India

Entire Report is of 10 MB, so not attaching … kindly download it from https://www.box.com/ey-smmits  

Ernst & Young has released a 53-page report that explores how brands are using social media in India. The report surveyed 48 social media savvy organizations in India including P&G, Cleartrip, Flipkart, Microsoft and others.

You can view download a printable PDF copy of the report from box.net or view it inline on Google Docs.

 

Here are some of key findings shared in the E&Y report:

• Facebook is the most important platform for marketers in India for engaging customers, followed by Twitter, YouTube and blogging. More than half of the organizations surveyed regularly engage with bloggers or online influencers who have authority and strong following.
• Most brands in India use social media to build communities while others use it to highlight news. They prefer to post generic updates instead of brand updates.
• Almost half of social media-savvy organizations surveyed spend 1%–5% of their marketing budget on social media, most social media budgets are below INR 10 million.
• Majority of social media efforts in India are managed by marketing teams. They use standalone digital agencies as compared to PR or ad agencies.

Indian brands are primarily focusing their attention on Facebook and Twitter while Google Plus, Foursquare and Pinterest are not on the radar, at least in the near future.

The Boiling Frog Syndrome
Human being and frog are the two creatures in nature. Who have tremendous power to adjust.
Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water.
 
As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly.
The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature.
Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore.
At that point the frog decides to jump out. The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it lost all
of its strength in adjusting with the water temperature. Very soon the frog dies.
 
What killed the Frog ?
 
Many of us would say the boiling water.
 
But the truth is, what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out.
 
We all need to adjust with peoples and situation,
but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to face.
 
There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action. 

 
If we allow people to exploit us Physically, Emotionally or Financially, they will continue to do so.
We have to decide when to jump.
 
Let us jump while we still have strength…. 

Peace be with You!

Dear Avaazers,

It's unbelievable, but Monsanto and Co. are at it again. These profit-hungry biotech companies have found a way to exclusively 'own' something that freely belongs to us all -- our food! They're trying to patent away our everyday vegetables and fruits like cucumber, broccoli and melons, forcing growers to pay them and risk being sued if they don't.

But we can stop them from buying up Mother Earth. Companies like Monsanto have found loopholes in European patent law to get away with this, so we just need to close them shut before they set a dangerous global precedent. And to do that, we need key countries like Germany, France and the Netherlands -- where opposition is already growing -- to call for a vote to stop Monsanto's plans. The Avaaz community has shifted governments before, and we can do it again.

Many farmers and politicians are already against this -- we just need to bring in people power to pressure these countries to keep Monsanto's hands off our food. Sign now and share with everyone to help build the biggest food defense call ever.:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/monsanto_vs_mother_earth_loc/?tHUTDbb

Once a patent exists in one country, trade agreements and negotiations often push other countries to honour it as well. That's why these food patents change everything about how our food chain works: for thousands of years, farmers could choose which seeds they'd use without worrying about getting sued for violating intellectual property rights. But now, companies launch expensive legal campaigns to buy patents on conventional plants and force farmers to pay exorbitant royalty fees. Monsanto and Co. claim that patents drive innovation -- but in fact they create a corporate monopoly of our food.

But luckily, the European Patent Office is controlled by 38 member states who, with one vote, can end dangerous patents on food that is bred using conventional methods. Even the European Parliament has issued a statement objecting to these kinds of destructive patents. Now, a massive wave of public outcry could push them to ban the patenting of our everyday food for good.

The situation is dire already -- Monsanto alone owns 36% of all tomato, 32% of sweet pepper and 49% of cauliflower varieties registered in the EU. With a simple regulatory change, we could protect our food, our farmers and our planet from corporate control -- and it's up to us to make it happen:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/monsanto_vs_mother_earth_loc/?tHUTDbb

The Avaaz community has never been afraid to stand up to corporate capture of our institutions, from pushing back the Rupert Murdoch mafia, to helping ensure that telecoms keep their hands off our Internet. Now it's time to defend our food supply from this corporate takeover.

With hope and determination,

Jeremy, Michelle, Oli, Dalia, Pascal, Ricken, Diego and the whole Avaaz team
