Lucid Dream During Coma Possible, Claims St. Louis Author

September 2, 2010 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Coma Story, a novel based on Diego Garcia depopulation, explores the link between dreams and creative problem solving.

St. Louis, MO, September 02, 2010 — Bringing together lucid dream concept and creative problem solving, at first, sounds illogical. Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established. However, the power of the subconscious during coma is impossible to determine. Coma Story, ( http://www.ComaStory.com ) a novel by Dr. Stephen Thompson, attempts to take its readers exactly to that dimension of alternate reality.
The novel centers on the Chagossians, who were forcibly relocated by British, to make way for a military base. The narrator, a coma survivor, along with Diego Garcia native, conspires to gain back the British-controlled islands without violence. The narrator’s fascinating coma journey, and challenging the superpowers, explores the link between conscious dreaming and creative problem solving. Coma Story welcomes readers into a remarkable double-life, and guides through a mind-opening voyage.

Coma Story is available at Amazon.com (ISBN: 978-1453696774). More details can be found at http://www.ComaStory.com.

About the Author:
Stephen Manoj Thompson, Ph,D., is an award wining, Indian-born American author, with a special interest in school dropout issues. He has a doctorate in Management Information Systems. Before moving to St. Louis, he lived in Singapore. Stephen came to public attention in 2008 for his acclaimed Land of Opportunity Forever. By his own account, Stephen Thompson is an accidental social writer. His first book was named a finalist for the Independent Booksellers Book of the Year Award. Thompson’s Coma Story, ( http://www.ComaStory.com ) which centers on the forced displacement of Chagos natives, integrates coma with lucid dreaming to set the tone for a clever read.

Software Reduces Contact-Handling Costs to Just 10¢

September 2, 2010 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

iCube Office-2 ( http://www.icubeoffice.com ) launched by Owtsar Technologies, a Chennai, India based software firm, will deliver such a performance, according to the company.

Chennai, India, September 02, 2010 — Does an organization’s contact-handling performance, for phone, correspondence and face-to-face communication, answer 90% of incoming calls in seconds and reply to incoming correspondence immediately. Can a customer’s contact experience with a business provide a face to face discussion with all relevant records, at just 10¢.

iCube Office-2 ( http://www.icubeoffice.com ) launched by Owtsar Technologies, a Chennai, India based software firm, will deliver such a performance, according to the company. ( http://www.owtsar.co.in ) When a Customer contacts a firm, it is expected to reach the right person in time and complete the purpose of the call. Research shows that only 20% of the calls reach their destination and that Costs vary from $25 for face-to-face to 10¢ for online contact. With work shifting to home and mobile, it has added to the problem. Voice-mail according to experts has addressed the symptoms and not the problem. The ‘ problem being how to access the right person in a timely manner at a minimum cost to the organisation.’

‘iCube Office‘ solution enables an instant face-to-face contact with the right person online . It would also retrieve and display all emails and documents shared between them on both computers. License is based on number of users, but any number of customers can be added with a customer id linked to a customer relations officer within the company. ‘It cannot get faster than this’, said Mr. John Martyn, Marketing Director at Owtsar. ( http://www.owtsar.co.in ) A face-to-face meeting makes sense only when records are available for reference, he added. If the CRO is not available the Customer can opt to discuss with any other person within the organization.

Every company wants to retain its customer base and ensure that every need of their customer is provided by them. Providing access to the right person in a timely manner at a minimum cost and immediately answer their queries would ensure that the customer base is intact. That is the concern ‘iCube Office’ would address. ( http://www.icubeoffice.com ) The current market need has necessitated such a system. When it is available at competitive rates without the need for trained personnel or new hardware, it then is an ideal solution.

“We will offer the application in different formats” said Mr. John Martyn, the Marketing Director at Owtsar Technologies. “It will be made available as a SaaS model with individual company id and user package hosted in secure Data Centers in North America or Europe. Larger firms can host the system individually either in their premises or in hosted servers in data centers; they can also split their servers and host them in multiple places, based on geographical locations, applications or even offices and departments. We are very flexible in our offerings” he added.

Together with this comes a email system with total corporate management features and an embedded encryption. One can send encrypted emails to any email account including hotmail, gmail, yahoomail etc. The recipients need not be registered or install any software in their computers, but can also send an encrypted reply. A full fledged Documents Management System (DMS) is also available with the facility to upload and edit documents such as doc/odt and convert to pdf.. Version control, access control, link control and audit trail is available. Legacy Applications that are currently in use can be integrated with the system. Third party applications such as accounting, bill collections etc can also be linked with the system. A basic CRM for customer data, Staff interactive tool for discussions, Admin Control, multilingual facility, RSS feeds, desktop version and Mobile access for Win OS only, are some of the other features available now.

Brainloop Helps Businesses Identify Compliance Risks when Sharing Information

September 1, 2010 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

New white paper published by secure document collaboration vendor.

Boston, MA, August 31, 2010 — Brainloop, the leading supplier of software solutions for high-security management of confidential documents ( http://www.brainloop.com ), today issued a white paper titled “Ten Questions to Identify Compliance Risks When Sharing Information.” Authored by Cheryl Klein, CPA, CISA, CITP and founder of GRC Consulting Services, the paper analyzes 10 common business scenarios that expose companies to potential compliance risks when sharing documents with partners, auditors, vendors, or any other individuals outside the corporate network.

Traditional information security controls provide protection behind the firewall for most of a company’s documents, yet fail to address the issue of protecting documents that must be shared outside the enterprise.

“Corporate and regulatory compliance policies require companies to ensure information flows are documented, auditable, and highly secure,” said Klein. “Yet at the same time, companies must share sensitive information outside the firewall in order to conduct business, which introduces serious potential information risk.”

To help businesses address this challenge, the Brainloop ( http://www.brainloop.com ) white paper presents 10 questions that help businesses identify compliance risks and explore mitigation strategies, along with best practices suitable for each scenario.

The questions guide businesses on how to deal with compliance regulations, and how to interact with external auditors as well as regulatory bodies. The white paper also discusses extending centrally-defined policies to the departmental level, implementing appropriate access controls for diverse document types and user roles, managing personal information, and controlling external collaboration as well as other security measures to consider.

“Identifying compliance risk is crucial because even the most conscientious people can breach security policies unintentionally,” added Klein. “People are human, so it’s critical to confirm document access with audit trails and logs to ensure compliance regulations are followed correctly.”
