HP formally splits into 2 businesses in November 2015- HP Enterprise in tech infrastructure and services, and HP Inc. in printers and PC's
09/15/2015
HP will separate printers and personal computers from the Enterprise infrastructure (servers, software) and enterprise tech services (cloud computing, data analystics, outsourcing software) in Nov. 2015. This will be done by consolidating the outsourcing part of the business in lower cost locations, cutting 30,000 jobs most of them in Enterprise services, in addition to the 16,000 cuts made in 2014. The purpose is to come up with a more focussed and nimble organization. HP Enterprise will look for opportunities in new business such as data analytics, cloud computing, where it faces competition from IBM and Amazon. HP Inc. will go into 3-D printing. Meg Whitman will be CEO of HP Enterprise and chairperson of HP Inc.

The threat from cloud computing to India's outsourcing software industry
07/13/2015
IBM, Amazon and other U.S. companies are further ahead than Wipro and Tata Consultancy Services in cloud computing. Fewer outsourcing contracts are being made and the outsourcing of software is declining under cloud computing. Unless these companies adapt quickly this poses a serious threat to the outsourcing industry in India.

A tale of two economies, Texas and California- one with a liberal Democrat as governor and the other with a conservative Republican
06/03/2015
Both states are thriving economies, California with its tech industry and Silicon Valley, Texas with the energy industry and tech companies in the Austin area. Texas has diversified since the 1980's reducing the portion of GDP coming from the energy industry to 13% from 19%, and direct employment in the oil and exploration industry from 4.5% to 2.5%, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Experts say this shows states can thrive on either a low regulation, low taxes model or a higher taxes, increased regulation model. Critics point to weakness in education, and low wage jobs in Texas.

Big government is the new West Coast craze
Washington Post 11/06/16
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
