The Little Geeni

Any business, in any domain, irrespective of its size has one and only one thing in mind, a maximum of profit with a minimum of investment. Ask any businessman what his primary piece of advice would be to start a business, and he would say that in any business, the cost effectiveness is of paramount importance. i.e. the investment by the company in anything which would be termed as an investment, should always be at a minimum and the returns which he gets should be the maximized. As in all possible domains and business of different sizes, the ERP domain is no exception. In today’s scenario, the cost effective ERP is the one which enjoys the maximum amount of clout and success in any domain or industry. The Cost Effective ERP is an ERP which is not very expensive, is not very laborious to implement, is simplicity personified, and returns an output which leads to complete client satisfaction. This no doubt sounds like an idealistic state; however, it has been proven many a time that companies which developed a cost effective ERP, always had a winner on their hands.

A cost effective ERP is the most likely to succeed simply because people always have the mentality that they want the entire basket of mangoes for the price of one single mango. i.e. the ERP should deliver all that is required by the client, however, the investment by the client in the ERP will be at the bare minimum possible. The phenomenon of cost effective ERP demand is very much prevalent in the small to the mid-size business industry, as this is the sector which is most likely to haggle about the rates of the ERP implementation. Most of the branded ERP’s like SAP or Oracle cannot be called a cost effective ERP, simply because the volume of work that these ERP’s handle will simply not make it to be a cost effective ERP.

Also, these ERP’s have a whole lot of functionalities which simply cannot be marginalized and thus to implement these functionalities has its own cost. One more reason the branded ERP cannot be called as a cost effective ERP is that the brand name simply does not permit one to term it cost effective. Along with the name of the brand always comes the tag of price, which for a branded ERP is always going to be on the higher side. Also, these branded ERP’s are mostly restricted to multi-national conglomerates, which makes it a very niche audience to cater to. A small or mid-sized business simply cannot afford to implement a branded ERP like SAP or Oracle and thus they are left hungering for a cost effective ERP to ease their burden as far as running their business is concerned.

Companies like the Mumbai-Based Eresource ERP is one of the ERP development firms whose ERP can be called as a cost effective ERP as the ERP is suitable for most of the small as well as mid-sized business with a sincere endeavor to cater towards the multi-national and large scale business as well.

ERP cost, effective

As a parent, you should realized that your children enjoy spend many time on  the computer. They loved games with interesting and colorful playing.  We can actually take an advantage from this situation. Let them learn something useful through the through computer games.

Educational computer games can combine two separate things learn and entertainment. Most children think learn is related to text book, boring and something they should avoid of. The use of games in teaching children keeps them from getting bored easily.  The  educational computer games will be so much fun that our children will never  even realizes that the games are intended to make them learn.

There are number of good educational computer games available now from traditional kid stores to the internet. They offer the children to have various games activity related to math, arts, music, language, and many other skills.  Also available are preschool education computer games with simple activities which introduction to numbers, alphabets, shapes and even color co-ordination.  These games are a great way for parents to pique children in learning process.For example Games like Jump Start provide excellent games from toddler to elementary grade.

Increasing numbers of teachers are also beginning to suggest that computer games develops children thinking in a way that we need to pay attention. In an age of computerized technology, the computer games could become part of the  school curriculum. Teachers may assist student to make computer games to be effective learning tools in this society that is increasingly  dependent on digital technology.

Overview

The network planning and design methodology describes a process with 9 specific steps and a sequence for those activities. As mentioned it is an engineering life cycle that supports technical initiatives such as Windows  migration, IP telephony and wireless design to name a few examples. The methodology begins with examining company business requirements. It is absolutely essential that you understand the company business model, business drivers and how they are growing from a business perspective. That will build the foundation for a design proposal that serves the business, technical and operational requirements of the company.

STEP 1: Business Requirements

Any design project starts with an understanding of what the company does and what they need to accomplish from a business perspective. This begins with an understanding of their business model, which really describes how their company works from an operational and business perspective to generate revenues and reduce costs. Many vendors today have conducted their own return on investment (ROI) studies for new implementations such as Unified Communications and Telephony. It is an effective sales tool that illustrates the cost benefits compared with investment over a specified period of time.

This is a list of some typical business drivers:

 • Reduce Operating Costs
 • Generate Revenue
 • Client Satisfaction
 • Employee Productivity

This is a list of some typical project business requirements:

 • Budget Constraints
 • Office Consolidations
 • Company Mergers and Acquisitions
 • Business Partner Connectivity
 • Telecommuter Remote Access  
 • Implement New Offices and Employees
 • New Data Center Applications
 • Reduce Network Outage Costs
 • Cost Effective Network Management
 • Vendor Contracts

STEP 2: Design Requirements

Now that you understand the basic business requirements of the company, you can determine the standard and specific design requirements. The design requirements process is focused on defining requirements from a technical perspective. Those requirements along with the business requirements will build the framework that is used to define infrastructure, security and management. Design requirements are defined as standard and miscellaneous. The standard design requirements are generic and represent those considered with many design projects. Miscellaneous requirements are those that aren’t defined with any of the standard requirements.

Standard Design Requirements

 • Performance
    
 • Availability

 • Scalability

 • Standards Compatibility

 • Rapid Deployment

STEP 3: Network Assessment

A network assessment is conducted after we have finished the business and design requirements of the company. A network assessment provides a quick snapshot of the current network with an examination of the infrastructure, performance, availability, management and security. That information is utilized for making effective strategy recommendations and design proposals to the client concerning specific information systems modifications. The network assessment model has 3 sequential activities, which are assessment, analysis and recommendations. The current network is examined using five primary surveys: infrastructure, performance, availability, management and security. When the surveys are completed, the information collected is then reviewed for trends, problems and issues that are negatively affecting the network.

STEP 4: Infrastructure Selection

After doing an network assessment we are ready to start selecting specific infrastructure components for the network design. This phase starts building the infrastructure with a specific sequence that promotes effective equipment selection and design. It is important that you consider business requirements, design requirements and the network assessment when building your infrastructure.

The following numbered list describes the specific infrastructure components and their particular sequence.

 1. Enterprise WAN Topology
 2. Campus Topology
 3. Traffic Model
 4. Equipment Selection
 5. Circuits
 6. Routing Protocol Design
 7. Addressing
 8. Naming Conventions
 9. IOS Services
10. Domain Name Services
11. DHCP Services

STEP 5: Security Strategy

We must now define a security strategy for securing the infrastructure. The need for enterprise network security shouldn’t be ignored with the proliferation of the Internet. Companies are continuing to leverage the public infrastructure for connecting national and international offices, business partners and new company acquisitions. The security requirements and network assessment recommendations should drive the selection of security equipment, protocols and processes. It identifies what assets must be protected, what users are allowed access and how those assets will be secured.

STEP 6: Network Management Strategy
 
This section will define a network management strategy for managing all equipment defined from infrastructure and security. It is necessary to define how the equipment is going to be monitored and determine if the current management strategy is adequate or if new applications, equipment, protocols and processes must be identified. Management components are then integrated with infrastructure and security to finish building the proposed design. These primary elements comprise any well-defined management strategy and should be considered when developing your strategy. 

 • 7 Management Groups
 • SNMP Applications
 • Monitored Devices and Events

STEP 7: Proof of Concept  

All infrastructure, security and management components must now be tested with a proof of concept plan. It is important to test the current design, configuration and IOS versions in a non-production environment or on the production network with limited disruption. Implementation of newer network modules at a router, for instance, could require that you change the current IOS version that is implemented. Making those changes could affect WAN or campus modules already installed at production routers. That is the real value of doing a proof of concept and certifying that the new equipment and IOS versions integrate with each device as well as the network. The following list describes the advantages of doing a proof of concept with your network design.  The proof of concept test results should be examined and used to modify current infrastructure, security and management specifications before generating a design proposal. The proof of concept model suggested here involves prototype design, equipment provisioning, defining tests, building equipment scripts and examining test results.  

 1. Prototype Design

 2. Provision Equipment

 3. Define Tests

 4. Build Equipment Scripts

 5. Review Test Results

STEP 8: Design Proposal/Review 

With the proof of concept finished, you are now ready to build a design proposal for the design review meeting. Your intended audience could be the Director, CIO, CTO, Senior Network Engineer, Consultant or anyone that is approving a budget for the project. It is important to present your ideas with clarity and professionalism. If a presentation is required, power point slides work well and could be used to support concepts from the design proposal document. The focus is on what comprises a standard design proposal and the sequence for presenting that information.

The working design proposal is presented to the client after addressing any concerns from proof of concept assurance testing. The design review is an opportunity for you to present your design proposal to the client and discuss any issues. It is an opportunity for the client to identify concerns they have and for the design engineer to clarify issues. The focus is to agree on any modifications, if required, and make changes to the infrastructure, security and management before implementation starts. Business and design requirements can change from when the project started which sometimes will necessitate changes to infrastructure, security and management specifications. Any changes should then go through proof of concept testing again before final changes to the design proposal.

STEP 9: Implementation

The final step will have us defining an implementation process for the specified design. This describes a suggested implementation methodology of the proposed design, which should have minimal disruption to the production network. As well it should be efficient and as cost effective as possible. As with previous methodologies there is a sequence that should be utilized as well.

Once the implementation is finished, there is monitoring of the network for any problems. Design and configuration modifications are then made to address any problems or concerns.

PHP Web Development

PHP is a scripting language designed for web development and can be embedded into HTML. PHP language runs on a web server, the code of PHP acts as the input and output is the creation of the web pages. The language is also used for command-line scripting and client-side GUI applications. PHP has been deployed on many web servers, operating systems and platforms. It is also useful with many database management systems. The complete source code is available to the users for free. The users can build; customize language according to their requirements.

PHP has been created by Rasmus Lerdorf in the year1995. PHP’s main implementation is now produced by The PHP Group and it is released under the PHP License. According to the Free Software Foundation it is considered as free software.

PHP was originally designed to create only dynamic web pages. It is a server-based script and is similar to other server-based script languages such as Microsoft’s ASP.NET system, Sun Microsystems’ JavaServer Pages and mod_perl. PHP’s main framework provides building blocks and design structure to promote rapid application development (RAD). Some of the frame works include CakePHP, PRADO, Symfony and Zend Framework.

PHP acts as a filter, taking input from a file or stream containing text and instructions the outputs for another stream of data. The most common form of the output is HTML. The most popular architecture is the LAMP architecture for deploying web applications. In PHP the P is refer to Python or Perl and it is used as bundle alongside with Linux, Apache and MySQL.

PHP interface also has Extensions with a number of systems such as IRC, and Windows API. PHP extensions are used in creating Macromedia Flash movies. In the Version 3, PHP has integrated object oriented features and Version 5 has limited functionalities. Now PHP has robust object capabilities such as interface, exceptions, destruction and abstractions which are a great help in the development of a website.

PHP has wide-spread popularity because of the version 4. It is considered as one of the top languages used for server-based scripting. The language is easy to learn. PHP has many arrays and variables which can hold any type of object, where the variables need not be declared, and the syntax is remarkably simple.
