SUCCESS STORY
Ephlux facilitates a Financial Trading and Research Company’s ascension to the Web 2.0/Social Media paradigm

Ephlux was approached by a Financial Services provider from the UK. The company was looking to build a strong presence over the web as it needed to reach out to its target markets spread across the world.

The company wanted to provide its services to its customers online. The customers must be able to browse and subscribe to financial updates, financial news, education and other important information. This web application had to be integrated with a payment gateway for e-commerce functionality. The back-office required user management and registration features.

Furthermore, the company required a dynamic website along with a marketing blog to make regular changes as a part of its regular content marketing activity. To further boost its online presence, the client needed a strong presence among popular social networking channels.

Will ‘Windows’ be ’shown the Door’?

Nov -13 2009 - TechCrunch says Google’s Chrome OS will be available for download within a week (2 to 3 days from now). Targeting netbooks and cloud computing, this BETA version will probably be a bit weak on the ‘drivers’ side, as anticipated. A substitute for windows, one that’s for real (and free), is quite hard to find.

This is probably the biggest development in the software industry since the face-off between Mac OS and Windows, in the early 90’s. How do you see it impacting Windows 7 and the future of OS development. Will Google triumph yet again, or will Microsoft hold onto its territory.

Most importantly, will you give Chrome OS a go on your laptop/netbook? Do give a Yes/No, on every reply. Will give a vote summary at the end of the discussion.

Has Firefox Peaked?

It was exactly five years ago Monday that Mozilla released version 1.0 of its open source Firefox Web browser, and fans around the globe marked the occasion with a multitude of special events held as part of the “Light the World with Firefox” campaign.

Celebration ideas were plentiful at the Spread Firefox Web site, while photos of the results were available on Flickr. A Mozilla-sponsored contest, meanwhile, invites Firefox fans to design a celebratory poster image.

With 330 Million Users Firefox rose from the ashed of Netscape with a lot of emotional attachments. The security features of IE were a great concern for enterprises and Firefox proved to be a better browser in terms of video streaming as well.

Sustainability Software, Part 1: It's Easy Being Green

As the decades-old "sustainability" movement goes mainstream, many businesses are looking to software to make the eco-cause concept functional -- and profitable -- for them.

The pressure is coming from all sides -- national, state and local governments, NGOs (non-governmental organizations) like the United Nations, investors, customers, employees, stakeholders.
