Simple Tips for Online Collaboration And A Connected Work Team


It can be quite intimidating to manage a geographically dispersed work team, while keeping the lines of communication open and maintaining a seamless flow of information across every level of the organization. Differences in time zones can cause delays in communication, while different communication styles can lead to misunderstandings and make it difficult to schedule activities.
Companies still heavily rely on phone calls, emails and on-site meetings to manage team collaboration and complete projects. While these techniques do work, they are expensive. With current generation technology we can keep the costs low while maintaining on-time completion of tasks and make long-distance collaboration much simpler.
These simple tips for using online collaboration tools can help build a team which is connected and informed:

Maintaining Accuracy
While working on projects, it is very important that your team members don’t waste their time on projects that are redundant or the ones that have already been completed just because they didn’t have the latest version of documents such as work orders, technical documentation or project reports.
Tools like SharePoint can enable your team members to stay updated regardless whether they have the latest version of documentations or not, as the files are stored centrally on SharePoint, it means that every member can access and update the documents and track the changes and be aware of the latest documentations.

Conduct effective meetings online
You can help your team members by enabling them to share live presentations and engage them in discussions related to the project on hand by using tools such as the Microsoft Live Meeting and ensure that every team member is focused on the project and that they are not skipping ahead of the rest.

360 degree project management
Microsoft Project Management can help to keep an eye on the progress of even the most complex projects, thus ensuring that you and your team remain up to date. Tools such as the Dynamics CRM Online can help everyone on your team to view project status and customer requirements, assuring that your team stays informed and productive.

Though emails still remain the preferred mode of communication among businesses worldwide, they can be easily overlooked and team members may be left wondering as to why they never received any further communication.
Today however, project teams have a whole lot of tools for effective management and online collaboration when it comes to delivering quality projects on time. So everyone, including major corporations to small businesses is utilizing the power of these tools for an effective and efficient team, and it’s time you gave your business an edge too.

Broadband- The Future Of Communication And Entertainment


Broadband has changed the way people meet and greet each other and also the way they communicate. It was not long ago when people were using slow dial up connections and trying to download files that would take ages and websites that just won’t open… That is until broadband jumped into the scenario.
With time, as more and more people switch over to broadband connections, the future of communication and entertainment is destined to be changed completely and it will open up different avenues for each and every one of us.
Today there are so many products and services that rely so heavily on broadband technology that slowly it seems the entire focus is going to be to target and exploit this technology to its full potential.
·         Smart TV’s
“Your TV is not just a TV anymore” that’s because current generation smart TV’s know how to make full use of your broadband connection. They come loaded with YouTube, Skype, Picasa, money control and even Facebook access, the very same sites that you probably visit on a regular basis and are very familiar with.     

·         Smartphones
Current generation mobile phones are built to exploit the full power of the internet by utilizing your broadband connection. You can surf the internet, watch videos and update your status on social networking sites in a flash.

·         Voice Over IP (VOIP)
There was a time when you had to endure hefty telephone bills just because of the frequent telephone calls abroad. But if you have a broadband connection, you can use a cheaper alternative called Voice Over IP (VOIP), it works by using your existing broadband connection to make calls to any mobile, landline or computer in the world, and With so many options available such as Skype, Fring, Truphone etc. you never have to endure hefty telephone bills again.

·         Online television channels and radio stations
Nowadays there are television channels and radio stations which are exclusively developed for the internet, but these can only be enjoyed if you have a stable and fast broadband connection, without which you would simply be unable to stream these channels and stations.
With broadband slowly beginning to emerge as a winner over other forms of internet connections, it should be a good decision to get rid of your old dial up connection and upgrade to the faster and much more stable broadband connection.
Slowly as more and more products and services begin to realize the power of broadband technology and more people upgrade to broadband, communication and entertainment will definitely never be the same again.

The Grid- The next stage in cyber evolution


Every day we log on to the internet…. Check emails, chat with our friends and shop.
What If the internet becomes obsolete someday? What if you came to know one fine day that the internet doesn’t exist anymore? Will you be able to live without it? Well don’t fret folks, sooner or later a day will come when the internet will eventually have to die and give way to the next stage in cyber evolution.

Welcome to Grid Computing also known as the “The grid”, the technology that will eventually replace the internet, changing the way we interact with people and download information from the World Wide Web. Does the word “CERN” sound familiar to you? I am sure you have been hearing about it a lot in the news lately, mainly due to the particle experiments taking place over there.
CERN was the birthplace of the internet where Sir Tim Berners Lee invented it. Now they have come with a technology so powerful, that it can replace the internet altogether.

Imagine being able to download a full movie in less than 2 seconds, streaming simultaneous high definition movies at the same time. Sounds too good to be true? Well guess what, it will be here sooner than you can imagine.

What is “The Grid”?
When scientists at CERN started experimenting with the Large Hadron Collider in search of the God Particle, they realized that doing so would generate enough data that would create a stack of cds 40 miles high. That meant that the internet could not be used to capture that data as the equipment (wires and cables) used to run the internet was originally meant to route telephone calls and lacked the power of transmitting high speed data and could cause a global collapse.

As a result “The Grid” was born by leveraging the use of modern equipment and fiber optics that could transmit data without slowing down the network. It would enable people to take cloud computing to another level, where all our information can be stored online and accessed from anywhere on the globe.

Scientists and technologists are optimistic that the grid holds the future of information sharing as it will help us to become a true information and communication enabled world. Scientists have already realized its potential and have used it, to help design new drugs against malaria. Researchers used the grid to analyze 140m compounds - a task that would have taken a standard internet-linked PC 420 years.

As the hunger to acquire information fast and with people becoming much greedier when it comes to uploading and downloading data, Grid Computing is definitely the need of the hour. But don’t throw away your routers just yet… Since there’s still time for this technology to go global, till then just sit back and enjoy the transition… From being connected to becoming one with the world.

Tikona Broadband-The Leaders in Wireless Broadband


The internet has become an integral part of our lives today. From being just a means to keep ourselves entertained, the internet has become the new mantra of how business is taken care of nowadays. With computers and the internet becoming cheaper every year, the total user base of net users has grown exponentially across the demographics in India.

A study by Internet and Mobile Association of India has shown that about 5 to 7 million internet users are added every month in India with a huge upcoming user base in small-towns across the country. Currently there are more than 100 million internet users in the country.

Tikona Digital Networks which has one of the world’s largest savvy outdoor Wi-Fi networks providing Secured Wireless Broadband feels that it is of utmost importance that a complete broadband experience is provided to sustain this growth. Tikona Digital Networks has come up with a very innovative program to engage its users called ‘Broadband Completely’ which is a way to introduce the concept of speed, savings, services and security for internet users.
The campaign is slated to be held across 36 Indian cities and is the first of its kind “Experience first, pay later” experience for broadband users in India. According to Heramb Ranade, Head of Marketing, Tikona Digital Networks customers today live on new innovative mobile applications and services driven by an unsaid need always-on-the-network reality, with 3G now and other advanced wireless technologies based on 4G wireless technology standards this reality is set to become rampant on the broadband users radar. Unlike 3G which offers an average usable data transfer speed of 1-3 MBPS, our new broadband technology will offer speed of 4 MBPS complemented with features like bill limit guarantee, anti-virus for security and world class customer response services.”

The company also has significantly improved upon its already topnotch customer care services by resolving issues sooner than the promised timeframe. It is evident from the fact that existing customers of Tikona Digital Networks are pretty happy and are giving rave reviews for the ISP, like Mr. Nishant Giri, who had this to say “I am happy with the Technical Team and its support, especially Nitin Gharge who helped me to resolve the internet problem. It was not working and he helped to resolve the problem and also guided me so that the same problem does not occur in the future as well.”  And this is not an isolated incident, of the many people we have spoken to; almost all of them praised Tikona Digital Networks.

Mr. Mudit mathur says Thanks for the instant solution. I really appreciate your work procedure to solve any technical problem/query with the help of such software ("Net meeting") which are helpful for people who don't know any technical terms related to a Network. I hope you will continue to provide fast support solutions for such Network related query.”  
Tikona Digital Networks is quite bullish when it comes to the quality of its services that it provides to home users and the SOHO segment. The company has more than 2, 00,000 subscribers and is expanding massively in tier-I and tier-II cities.
Tikona Digital Networks is expected to be even more aggressive with its ambitions this year and so far the company has shown impressive market dominance. The Secured wireless Broadband Service provider is not only promising new innovations in the broadband industry this year but is also eyeing its goal for total dominance over its rivals by providing the best customer service and connectivity to its customers.
