Idea for a MDM App!!!

By
Indiblogger recently organized an event with the aid of Nokia.

Your wish is my App II, a Nokia IndiBlogger meet


Well It was really good to see such an event for such a technical brainstorming.
This blog post is all about my idea about an app which can really help us out in many areas.
I am referring from taking surveys ,polls to collecting funds and really large chunk of raw data.
I want an app on Master Data Managemnt

MDM may be many different things. For me it’s about Master Data Management and for others it’s about Mobile Device Management.
A recent twitter chat session organized by Gartner (the analyst firm) had the tag #GartnerMDM. It was about Master Data Management but of course there also were questions about Mobile Device Management.

 And sure. One of the foremost technology trends being mobile doesn’t have the same attention as other hyped trends like big, social and cloudy within this MDM, but mobile may actually also play a role within master data management.
In my current work within data quality and master data management. I have been thinking of some business cases around an App for this MDM. It has for example been aiming at getting it first time right when NGOs are finding new members on the street and when energy retailers are on boarding new customers on the street.

 So what are some of the main advantages of having a mobile app for MDM? Here are some of the interesting usages to start off with
  1. Provide a search page which uses MDM’s fuzzy matching capabilities to display records meeting the search criteria.Mobile App
  2. Role based access and interface which adapts to the user based on the functionality he/she is granted.
  3. Tasks appearing as notifications based on the role of the user. Specifically in the product data management where items are collectively authored.
  4. Ability to analyze and compare records side by side and option to merge duplicate records. (Bingo – I fixed data issues from my tablet sitting at Starbucks – How cool!)
  5. Access to reference data, check correctness of all possible values for a given code type.
  6. Enable access to master data without exposing corporate network and risking data leakage.
  7. Ability to wipe and lockout data in the event device is lost or stolen.
The important factor to consider is the sensitivity of the data accessed from the mobile devices.

MDM app should also be made available in more than one mobile operating system; you don’t want to kill the fan boys after all ;)

DOXING - New Internet Problem

By
In the modern world, Internet has become a wonderful place to gain knowledge, exchange ideas, share information, make new friends and whatnot. Even though, you can do all of this by remaining anonymous behind your monitor, your real life identity and personal details can still be at the risk of falling into the hands of strangers. This is where the term “ doxing ” comes into play! What is Doxing? Doxing  simply refers to the process of gathering or deducing other people’s information such as name, age, email, address, telephone number, photographs etc. using publicly available sources such as the Internet. In other words, doxing is the act of using the Internet to search for personal details about a person. Doxing is done by initially taking a piece of information (such as “name” or “email address”) and keeping it as a base to find out other possible details about the person. The term “doxing” is derived from the word “document tracing” which means to retrieve documen...

OFFICE 365 - Is it able enough for all your needs?

By
I belongs to IT industry. Everyone aims to be at a  decision making p osition , my dream is to own a IT firm. I know the task is huge , demanding and risky. However this post is in context of Office 365 - as the name suggest , Microsoft states this is a standalone tool required for all office work. Instead of using 360 degree view of the task they have extended it to 365 - something extra is available on the plate.Honestly, recently in every area end user want to get all the benefits in a single packet. It is like a combo meal offer , you can not expect single user to buy different services from different vendors and update all of them at different instance of time and synchronize them. Office 365 seems to be a promising solution to the quest. Here are the features from this suite :   SharePoint Online SharePoint is Microsoft’s web platform and is designed to provide communication, consolidation, collaboration,  and content management.

Star Trek - Into darkness - A review

By
No ship should go down without her captain. JJ Abrams boldly goes where many others have boldly gone, with yet another generation manning the USS Enterprise bringing peace to the universe. After his successful re-imagining of the Star Trek universe four years ago, Abrams dives even deeper into the mythology, which is thrilling for fans but might leave newcomers feeling a bit lost. This sequel surges forward with action, drama, romance and a lot of comedy while constantly nodding back to the earlier TV series and films. And the smart screenplay finds ways to deepen all of the characters along the way, as well as offering an unusually complex villain. The action picks up soon after the first film ends, as Kirk (Pine) is once again in trouble for disobeying the Prime Directive not to interfere with a planet's culture. From the rousing opening sequence to the gob-smacking climax, Star Trek Into Darkness is a glorious thrill ride. J.J. Abrams’ sequel to his 2009-re...
