‘ Full steam ahead’ mean it now for the project iCENTER from Thomas Dahle, software developer from Karlsruhe Karlsruhe, has successfully developed a new, media-centric Internet application project named iCenter. iCenter is an ad-funded Internet application that goes far beyond the conventional use of the Internet. ICenter of future users not only in the Internet can surf, but intuitively and centrally manage all its media such as photos, videos and music files. iCenter summarizes the main PC activities that under one roof, instead of as before in different applications to run. A completely intuitive and consistent interface and a unique easy download management shall ensure that the user can use iCenter immediately and without any learning curve. Thus, including PC shy user groups be developed.

iCenter, thus realizing properties that have integrated applications in the future. All platforms are integrated into future: PC, laptop, or SmartPhone and Internet based systems. The target groups of the iCenter are all ages and professional classes. Currently there is a fully functional prototype that dominates the music, videos, photos, and Internet issues modules. The market maturity of the application is missing only an own design as well as the connection to the advertising systems. For this reason the project is looking for one or more investors iCenter. The new money will go primarily in the completion and commercialization of iCenter. “Thomas Dahle said in a presentation in Karlsruhe: I’m glad that I iCenter was able to convince even some promoters and users in times of crisis with both the concept and the application.

The correct email encryption using a gateway server E-Mail communications and the Internet have become nationally and internationally our lives just to indispensable and an integral part of our communications network for personal and business use of. Now it’s even statistically proven that most of this communication mainly via email, via regular mail or via fax. With the expansion of E-Mail communication, but also the problem of lack of email security has arisen. Just for E-Mails with confidential content, it is important to pay attention, because in principle any content of an email on its way from the sender to the receiver can be read, if it is sent not encrypted on the right E-Mail encryption. The protocols that are used in the various E-Mail programs represent a weakness of the lack of email security. So sets such as SMTP, the Protocol for the transmission of messages, no authentication mechanism. POP3, the Protocol, the access on the mail server allows any encryption opportunity in contrast to IMAP. Just when you send daily confidential data or content by E-Mail, you should be concerned about the use of encryption programs.

The encryption software PGP (pretty good privacy) and GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) are currently the standard programs used on the market. Another useful tool is the use of a so-called gateway server. This server will act almost like a postal station that protects the entire email traffic against unauthorized reading and manipulation. This system signed and decrypts the complete E-Mail traffic at a central point. This also applies to outgoing mail. A centralized certificate management ensures additional safety. Companies who place value on secure E-Mail encryption and communication, should deal somewhat more detail with this topic.

CAD schroer Group acts as external clients in a software development project for computer science students of the University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK March 2009: In a group project of the University of Cambridge computer science students of the 3rd and 4th semester were given the opportunity to gain practical experience in the field of software development. It was the complete development process, from the catalogue of requirements through implementation to testing and documentation to meet. CAD Schroer UK, the subsidiary of the global solutions provider based in Cambridge supported one of the nine groups who were involved in this project and acted in three project meetings as a principal. At the end of the project, there was an exhibition of student presentations, where not students were invited from the audience, to choose a winner. The challenges resembled those in the business world and were sometimes even higher. The Group were students from different knowledge put together, came from different colleges of the University and did not know. Caterpillar follows long-standing procedures to achieve this success.

The University of Cambridge comprises 31 self-governing and independent colleges, each with its own capital and income. The students live there, be there entertained and taught in mostly small groups. For larger lectures, seminars and research projects, they come then from different colleges. For the current project she had to meet under its own direction, to work for an external customer. A special topic was assigned to each group.

\”\” The assigned topics were wide-ranging and received very futuristic names of like statistical conviction carrier\”, remote-controlled energy saving\”or mirror mobile shopping Assistant\”. During the 6-week phase of the project, each student worked about 30 to 60 hours on his project. The engineers of CAD of Sakala subsidiary in Cambridge assumed the role of principal for one of the nine groups. Because they have extensive experience in the field Have software development, were they good place himself in this role.

In addition, applications can electronically set and thus avoiding the path to the Chamber of Commerce or mail. In this conception we succeeded, to undergo all existing still necessary IT systems and a Chamber of skilled crafts an overall”, said the INFORA project manager Helmut lamb j, which is responsible for the design. No comparable approach with this implementation maturity is known us in the whole public administration”, he refers to the innovative orientation. Background EU services directive In December 2006 adopted the European services directive (EU-DLRL). The directive stipulates that service providers to facilitate the taking up and pursuit of activities is a Point of contact must be provided.

They can handle at least all procedures and formalities about this so-called points of single contact”(EAP) as of late 2009. In a variety of States, chambers of skilled crafts have been entrusted with this task. Howard Schultz gathered all the information. In any case, are and stay but responsible”(ZS), which communicates the EAP in the procedure processing. Since article 7 prescribes this directive, that the points of single contact must be electronically accessible requires during the procedure of handling digital communication between service providers, EAP and competent authority. The required infrastructure for computer and technical communication and cooperation is currently being prepared in the Federal States.

Users measure availability and speed of provider services only rarely to the client of user’s Darmstadt, August 20, 2008 – although the companies with IT outsourcing by the performance of their provider are dependent on, their technical performance is rarely measured. According to a survey of the Software House Servicetrace most companies refrain from, to measure the availability and performance of applications from the data center of service provider at the point of the user. Instead they settle with the information on the performance of the central systems. While there would be good reasons for an accurate look as two of five companies complain about the technical performance of its service partner. So, only 16 percent of the nearly 200 respondents outsourcing users judge that they are completely satisfied with the speed and availability of applications. Another 42 percent are the services while not optimal to move but in the green zone. Otherwise, it looks at the extensive rest of the company.

You complain either significant deficits in the Performance (31 percent) or are even completely dissatisfied (11 per cent). However, most users are limited to perceived deficits despite an often critical assessment and waive specific analyses of the quality of the services their provider. Only every fifth company measures according to own exactly what performance is the user to his client available? Additional 38 percent concentrate on this topic at least in part, 43 per cent take any measurements. Instead three out of five users are limited, what information the provider delivers them. Only every tenth company focuses especially on the point of the beneficiary and measures itself at the site of the client on which performance the user specifically can be accessed.

Another 14 percent are based in their reviews of both central and decentral analyses, but 17 percent are completely without regular performance measurements. It is amazing that IT services are purchased, but only in exceptional cases precisely determined. What services will actually be involved”, Servicetrace’s Managing Director of Markus Jatin judged the results. He criticized that many companies content, getting key performance data, but ignore let some big power loss between provider and own sites. Ultimately the company thus do not even know what benefits you get for your money”, he formulated the problem in a nutshell. Because, if slow build up staff applications or temporarily not be available, it helps them nothing when the systems of the service provider with a high performance shine”judge Jatin. Then negative for the business, that paging in doubt can drag even the economic advantage in extreme cases effects.” The Servicetrace Managing Director wonder therefore that the company this aspect majority so little importance, especially since performance measurements, for example, through intelligent client robots not technically be elaborately still costly. At least for the business-critical applications certainty should prevail, if enough of the output performance of the provider.” About Servicetrace: Servicetrace developed comprehensive monitoring solutions to determine of the performance of key applications. The ServiceTracer platform provides the decision-relevant information for the management and other stakeholders in the company in the form of reports and alerts.

‘PILOT Scheduler’ for the detailed planning of the production reduces cycle times and generates significant cost savings the synchronization of many manufacturing processes is one of the biggest challenges in the production planning. Because are not precisely matched the different influences from the production, supplier and inventory management or product development on the various processes, almost inevitably caused shutdowns with delayed processing times, as well as unnecessarily high inventory costs. Also the delivery and the customer satisfaction can be this way not optimal, as the company can enter unprepared for the flexibility demands of the market. “Traditional ERP or MES systems can across not reliably fulfil this task of overall synchronization of all processes, which is why the FELTEN group with PILOT Scheduler” provides a solution to optimize the quality of service and cost efficiency in production. It is based on a specially developed and very complex scheduling logic that is already contained in the standard modules. Their major advantage is that a full figure and simulation of production of both the current and future conditions can be made. To be in the PILOT Scheduler”with its lean production approach over 2,400 different parameters and some 4,000 properties of all conceivable standard situations in the production account, which can without additional programming.

The individually selectable setting possibilities concern both the resources and processes as the order processing, material conditions and quality requirements. So can simultaneously take into account, for example, the capacity of all resources in the calculation and conversion times per installation, product or order individually set a realistic delivery date, calculate as well as with specific customer requests immediately, taking into account capacity and material availability or a Production plan based on which automatically create sales plans. PILOT Scheduler”ensures easy technical integration with its lean production approach also this leverages existing interfaces and thus provides easy connection to all common databases. There are no integration problems to overcome even in heterogeneous system environments. In addition, many ERP interfaces are about to SAP and other established market standard business systems. “The solution due to their intelligent scheduling logic and their numerous best practice parameters the prerequisites, that creates an optimal synchronization of all processes involved in the production and thus the efficiency reserves can be exploited maximum”, emphasizes Werner Felten, Managing Director of the Software House, the benefits. This leads to significant savings in fixed as variable costs and produces a significantly higher agility in production.”
