10 Oct '12

Dear Professionals, AICTE has made some changes in Appendix 10. In that few more e journal packages have been inserted like last year. Page No.134-136 My suggestion is AICTE has to mention some details like package cost (Before GOC conversion), service provider name, address and contact details in their website. Otherwise we have to spend lot of time in collecting supplier details and filling the institution details online for collecting the quotation.

International School of Information Management, University of Mysore, Mysore ---- Presents ---- InfoVision 2012: The Knowledge Summit, Oct 19-20, 2012 ( <http://www.infovision2012.org.in> http://www.infovision2012.org.in) Hosted by SAP Labs, Bangalore And Organised in association with Information Excellence Group, CSI Bangalore Chapter, DAMA Bangalore and TDWI Chapter-India --- Welcome to the 6th edition of InfoVision - The Knowledge Summit Series. On "SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud) is smart" SMAC is the latest acronym to enter the jargon-filled technology space. SMAC--an acronym for Social, Mobility, Analytics, and Cloud has entered the business conversations in a big way. Experts and business heads believe that SMAC will help companies to ride the next wave of business opportunities and is also expected to help Indian companies to innovate and move away from traditional business models. Industry veterans see an integrated SMAC to change the way companies do business in future. Based on the industry trending, a unified Social, Mobile, Analytics (Big Data predominantly) and Cloud based solutions appear to be the 'next big thing'. The combined potential of SMAC technologies is estimated to be $70 billion to $200 billion over the next three years. And, that's the reason why most of the software vendors today are betting on SMAC. Research firm Gartner terms it as the nexus of four IT forces - cloud, social, mobile, and information (in other words analytics). Those forces, along with the continued impact of consumer spending, are expected to essentially set the stage for the next generation of capabilities that drive new business scenarios. ------ Distinguished Speakers at InfoVision 2012: .
