RIM’s Co-CEO’s Are Out: Good News Or Otherwise?
2012-01-24 08:36:00 News has just come in that RIM’s founders and Co-CEO’s Mike Laziridis and Jim Balsillie have stepped down to make way for the company’s former COO, Thorsten Heins. RIM has had a particularly bad year in terms of all their devices. The Playbook failed at sales and adoption. The new Blackberry OS got delayed till later this year. They had worldwide outages some months back. All in all the future looks dim for the company. The Co-CEO’s have no doubt bungled up things this year and the company has been quite complacent about their products and market share. Since they were not adopting new technology, other companies and platforms have shot up and are actively eating Blackberry market share. Android and iOS are slowly replacing BB in the corporate world. The Blackberry range of smart phones were the ‘go-to’ phones for professionals due to their tight email delivery and encrypted enterprise servers.

Europe Recession Helps Indian Tech Giants Grow: Good News For Us?
2012-01-23 11:30:00 The European Economic crisis is proving to be a boon for Indian Tech Giants who are reporting robust growth. Until recently, Europe was very stingy when handing their work offshore. However, the growing concern of a meltdown has forced the companies to revaluate their strategies concerning cost reduction through outsourcing. In 2011, top-tier Indian Companies posted a growth between 23% to 40% from their Europe focused operations. In the last quarter alone, Infosys reported a jump of 17% while TCS garnered 17% more revenue. The good news does not end there. The scope of work to come too has shot up with European companies signing more multi-million dollar contracts than the US for the first time. European operations usually account for about 25% or 1/4th of Indian IT Companies total revenues. However, UK is the sole country which hands over the lions-share. Rest untapped markets involve Spain, Italy and the Nordic regions. But things improved in 2011 when Infosys added 14 new clien...
