Online phone directory
A local entrepreneur has come up with a simple solution of how to provide better customer and business-to-business service using a free in-depth Web-based telephone directory.
Named CallCheetah, the online directory offers more than a listing with a phone number, it also displays extensions, with names and all the information a company wants to reveal.
“The name is sort of a play on words, now you don't have to call directory assistance, so it is a call cheater,” said Linus Romey, CEO and developer.
Romey says idea came from the rising sentiment that businesses are no longer offering a real person to answer phones, but instead use interactive voice response systems.
CallCheetah will offer a visual of a company's phone tree, with numbers, names and other pertinent information.
“This is also a money saver for businesses,” said Romey, originally from Petersburg. “Our model cut costs from 70 cents a minute for a receptionist to answer questions and redirect a phone call, or 20 cents a minute to redirect to call centers in India, down to 6 cents a minutes using this system. On the caller side it saves time by allowing a person to see where and who to call, cutting out the saying or pressing number buttons.”
CallCheetah is free to all businesses that want to enter information. The catch: Romey's site is paid for by Google ad revenue, so businesses may find a Google ad for competitors on the page next to their listing.
“It will be up to each business to contact Google to block those ads or pay for ads on the same Webpage,” Romey said.
“There are no restrictions on what kind of number a business can enter, extensions, fax, e-mail and Web information can also be added,” he said. “We are taking a Craigslist approach. The do-it-yourself search, using standard search engines that will direct you to the site that has information about businesses added by a company person, usually the same person that has responsibility for a switchboard.”
The Alaska Manufacturing Extension Program helped Romey with his idea by connecting him with Icom Web Solutions, a database Web developer and hosting company.
The system will not dial up the number for you, nor will it interface with mobile or Voice Over Internet Protocal phone systems, but will only list the numbers.
Romey says a successful search can be made by the company name, type of business or by number and that the site is set up to accept heavy amounts of traffic with the use of an extensive database.
The idea for the Web-based directory came after Romey tired of reaching IVR systems.
After four months of developing the site and refining the options - working closely with AMEP - Romey has launched the service. With only a handful of business now listed, Romey says that once the Web site is better known, it will catch on.
“This is also a way to get away from those expensive telephone directories that we think people are shunning due to their size and the cost of its advertising,” said Romey. “It's free, it offers better service, and cuts to the chase for the users.”

Database Development Solutions
Database technology is a common way for software programmers to access and handle information in an easy way. Outsourcing database development is effectual when the organization needs impartial help in evaluating and prioritizing its needs.
Database development can be divided into different processes. Before database development effort the service provider has to assess the program relevance and objectives. Creating custom database is a function that can make the development effort more effective. When the service provider is ready with a custom build database, the customer can adapt it without any worries; it is designed with an eye in the performance of the customer business. In database development outsourcing process custom projects will be made by the service providers. When this is the case the software product an organization should use for its database has to be selected before the process. When it comes to database customization, report development and other enhancements outsourcing service providers can help a lot.
Database management and server management works are coming under outsourcing services. Outsourcing works effectively with these matters too. By database development outsourcing the organization can rely on the experience of someone who has coordinated similar organizations with systems in the past and already knows the way to improve the business performance.

Directory Service ?
A directory of names, profile information and machine addresses of every user and resource on the network. It is used to manage user accounts and network permissions. When sent a user name, it returns the attributes of that individual, which may include a telephone number as well as an e-mail address. Directory services use highly specialized databases that are typically hierarchical in design and provide fast lookups. A directory service should not be confused with the directory repository itself; which is the database that holds information about named objects that are managed in the directory service.
A directory service (DS) is a software application — or a set of applications — that stores and organizes information about a computer network's users and network resources, and that allows network administrators to manage users' access to the resources. Additionally, directory services act as an abstraction layer between users and shared resources.
A directory service should not be confused with the directory repository itself; which is the database that holds information about named objects that are managed in the directory service. The directory service provides the access interface to the data that is contained in one or more directory namespaces. The directory service interface acts as a central/common authority that can securely authenticate the system resources that manage the directory data.
Like a database, a directory service is highly optimized for reads and provides advanced search possibilities on many different attributes that can be associated with objects in a directory. The data that is stored in the directory is defined by an extendible and modifiable schema. Directory services use a distributed model for storing their information and that information is usually replicated between directory servers.

Outsourced Product Development a Growth Sector in Outsourcing
Outsourced product development is a bright spot in the broader outsourcing industry. Technology companies may hold off on internal IT projects during tough times, but they can't delay bringing new revenue-generating products to market if they want to stay competitive," Harrison said. "Interest in our specialty services, full lifecycle software product engineering, is at an all-time high because we help generate revenue. The OPD market is experiencing a surge on par with the boom outsourcers of IT services experienced in the late '90s, as companies raced to update their systems for the year 2000."
The global market for product research, development and support, a key market segment for GlobalLogic, is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 23 percent until 2012, according to Zinnov Management Consulting. GlobalLogic expects to more than double its staff in India, to 5,000 over the next three years, to help meet demand.
"If there is a silver lining in this economy, it is that businesses are taking fiscal responsibility very seriously. We expect OPD to continue to grow as more product companies seek out specialist partners with a broad presence in global product engineering centers in India, China and Eastern Europe ( http://www.globallogic.com/aboutus/our-locations.shtml) to help them innovate, as opposed to taking the risk of starting their own captive operation in a region where they have little experience," Harrison said.

Security Bites 121: What Microsoft's Geneva means for online IDs
At this year's PDC and again at WinHec, Microsoft certainly talked up its new Windows Azure cloud-based services, along with Windows 7. It has also been talking about Geneva, the code name for the next version of CardSpace, the Microsoft user authentication system. One goal of Geneva is to extend the reach of its predecessor, Active Directory Federation Services.
To help developers, Microsoft unveiled at PDC and WinHec the Geneva Server and the Geneva Framework. To play well with other system, Geneva accepts industry standards WS-Trust and WS-Federation, as well as the SAML 2.0 protocol.
Windows CardSpace Geneva releases digitally signed security tokens to Web sites, and allows multiple sites to accept the same tokens, so users don't have to be authenticated for various related sites. On the other hand, if a phishing site lures a user to accidentally use a card and submit a token, that token would not be "redeemable" at any other site and therefore is not useful for impersonating the user in any other context.
Another example of its use might be that an enterprise could have its employees use their Windows Live ID to access various assets within the company.
In addition to working on Geneva at Microsoft, Cameron is part of the Identify Card Foundation, a group that is advocating open standards around the use of ID cards for authentication.
