(PRWEB) November 30, 2011

The Telecom Expense Management Industry Association (TEMIA), the authoritative voice for the Telecom Expense Management (TEM), Wireless Expense Management (WEM), Mobile Device Management (MDM) and solutions providers in related areas recently hosted a meeting for its members in Boston. Twenty-five companies and 31 attendees came to the meeting. The Solution Providers represented a wide range of different approaches to Telecom Expense Management, Wireless Expense Management, Mobile Device Management and other related areas.

TEMIAs meeting provided a unique opportunity for some of the best-known solution providers to break from competing for client business to do some networking and exchange their views. There was a palpable buzz from lively networking during the breaks. Through this meeting and its other programs, TEMIAs forum also provided industry thought leaders opportunities to build a positive future for the TEM market.

Companies are experiencing explosive growth across their smartphone landscape. With BYOD initiatives and new corporate policy issues, there is a need for MDM, mobile anti-theft and recovery. This creates a unique opportunity for TEMIA to take a leadership role across the industryI found that the TEMIA meeting enabled executives to collaborate, take on tough issues and share best practices which strengthen why TEMIA members matter, said Ralph A. Rodriguez Chairman and CEO of New Technologies and Associates.

This was my first time attending a TEMIA meeting. Despite our differences, it was amazing to see how we can work together to address many common industry challenges, said Greg McIntyre, President of Tellennium Group. The meeting also helped solidify my support for TEMIA in its ability to bring greater awareness to the TEM/WMM industry while establishing foundational standards and ethical practices. It was great to see how the experiences of TEMIA members play a role in shaping the associations agenda and decision-making. I definitely plan on attending more meetings in the future, he added.

This meeting was a much more positive experience for me than the previous meetings I have attended, because those meetings coincided with trade shows held during the day, leaving only a few hours after dinner to conduct TEMIA business, when people were tired and less able to focus. In contrast, I found this meeting to be very extremely productive because we had a full dedicated day to focus on TEMIA issues, said Roger Challen, a Director of Mer Telemanagement Solutions, LTD.

There is something magical that occurs at TEMIA meetings we see the depth of thought-leadership within the association, the diversity of vendors (large and small, comprehensive and niche) and gauge the overall health of our industry, said James Price TEMIA executive board president, and president of ICOMM Consulting. It was interesting to see how the group kept returning to the themes of focusing on things that are achievable and staying on course with its mission of promoting TEM/WEM/MDM to grow the market, added Price.

In the weeks that led to the dinner, TEMIA added three new members. Many founding firms and executive board members noted that the organization has grown. Membership growth marks an important achievement in terms of how industry participants see the value of TEMIA.

TEMIAs Executive Board charters eight committees, which manage the work of the association. Most committees meet once a month by phone to advance the goals of the association through collaboration and dialog. Last year TEMIAs focus was the Ethics Code. With this initiative firmly established, TEMIA is ready to tackle some new priorities.

TEMIA now has clear deliverables from this meeting that will enable it to build on its past success and help its member companies maximize their investments in the association. There is work to do on The Future of TEM, Market Sizing, and Market Health. In addition, TEMIA will develop future papers and surveys for its members. Finally, the association also has clarity on areas where it will, and areas where it will not work with its members to expand internationally.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn With electricity consumption waxing at a robust pace in residential, commercial, and industrial end-use markets, there exist strong demand for electricity, and subsequently for equipment used in electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. Power generation, transmission and distribution equipment are susceptible to changes in the regulatory environment, and economic cycles. In order to meet the surging energy demand, most nations are looking beyond traditional power sources and even focusing on alternative energy resources. As a vital part of energy value chain, which helps electricity grid generators to supply power to consumers, electric power transmission and distribution equipment, therefore, will witness increased demand as the energy production increases. Given that storage of electricity is an expensive proposition, electric power is produced and delivered almost simultaneously, thereby demanding highly efficient electric power transmission and electric power distribution equipment.

As stated by the new market research report on Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Equipment, Asia-Pacific represents the largest and the fastest growing regional market for electric power transmission and distribution equipment. The Asia-Pacific electric power transmission and distribution equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 8.3% over the analysis period.

Given its high level of dependence on economic health, the global Electric Power Transmission and Power Distribution Equipment market suffered a severe setback in the year 2009, primarily due to the recent global economic recession. With demand for electricity from commercial and industry segments dropping to agonizing lows as a result of cutbacks and austerity measures taken up to survive the onslaught of recession, electricity generation and distribution took a major blow, thereby squeezing investments on new equipment required for transmitting and distributing electricity. Sluggish demand also resulted in a significant inventory build-up, starting from raw material to complete systems, which ultimately led to a considerable decline in prices of such equipment, adding to the manufacturers agony.

With global economy emerging out of recessionary blues in 2010, the demand for electricity increased considerably after a temporary low in the previous year, owing to the increased power consumption in residential, industrial, and commercial segments. While growth in the residential energy consumption was a direct result of improvement in consumer spending on purchasing new or using existing electronic items, increase in energy consumption in industrial and commercial segments was primarily due to the resurgence in the manufacturing and commercial activity post recession.

This increase in electricity demand encouraged several electric power utilities to reinvigorate their long term capital investment plans, thereby boosting activity in this sector. Capital spending by all electric power utilities on substation automation, control systems, advanced metering, distribution management, and smart-grid infrastructure projects bounced back to the pre-recession levels in 2010, thereby helping the electric power transmission and distribution equipment market make a quick and remarkable comeback during the year. The market, in future, will be driven by the constant need to replace the fast aging installed base of existing power transmission and distribution equipment. Regulatory mandates for bringing improvements in service reliability, and continued investments on grid infrastructure, focusing on efforts to meet future electricity demand growth will also generate substantial opportunities for electric power transmission and distribution equipment.

In the wake of the growing electricity needs, several developed countries in Europe and North America are in the process of implementing Energy-Efficiency Norms and standards in their respective power industries. Additionally, certain developing countries, including South Korea and China, are embarking on implementing such standards. These norms mandate the usage of energy-efficient products for the residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Supporting these mandates, state and federal governments are offering tax credits and incentives for various industries to enable the latter to purchase energy-efficient capital equipment. Additionally, governments have set aside funds for the purpose of investing in new infrastructure projects, including power generation, transmission, distribution, and power grids. Owing to these developments, the transformer and distribution equipment markets are all set to reap benefits in the ensuing years.

Major players profiled in the report include ABB, Actuant Corporation, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Cooper Industries Limited, Crompton Greaves Ltd., Eaton Corporation, EGS Electrical Group, Federal Pacific Company, G&W Electric Company, GE Electric Company, Hammond Power Solutions Inc., Howard Industries Inc., Kirloskar Electric Company Limited, Larsen & Toubro Limited, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Schneider Electric SA, Siemens AG, Powell Industries Inc., among others.

The research report titled “Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Equipment: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of the current market scenario, market dynamics, trends and issues, key statistics, market share analysis, product overview, recent product introductions/innovations, strategic corporate initiatives, and profiles of major/niche global and regional companies worldwide.

Follow us on LinkedIn – Adoption of IT is not new to hospital industry with several IT tools already proving their worth in billing and administrative functions. Use of IT in clinical environment however has been restricted over the years, given the sensitive nature of patient information, medical procedures and treatment regimes, all of which can be vulnerable against data losses, or misuse. However, with growing realization of benefits, and rapid developments in technology, IT is slowly making its way even into the clinical set up, especially for capturing and storing patient records, and managing imaging, testing and surgical room procedures.

The need among healthcare providers to transform their legacy systems into advanced information systems by integrating their clinical, business, and technical assets for achieving profitability and offering services targeting fast changing consumer demands, while still maintaining high degree of service quality and efficiency is also driving hospitals to invest considerably in healthcare IT. Information technology allows critical information to be captured and stored electronically, streamlines clinical workflows, facilitates decision making, and monitors public health and therefore regarded as a highly efficient tool for healthcare industry. Several IT systems have therefore found its way into the hospital industry, Hospital Information Systems (HIS) being one among them.

The healthcare industry although resilient to a degree is not immune from the developments in macro-economic environment. Tighter credit market conditions across the world have resulted in increased difficulty in securing finances necessary for capital purchases. Worldwide hospitals and healthcare providers were fraught with reimbursement pressures, lowered direct government spending due to constricted budgets, reduced demand and consumer spending on pharmaceuticals, and healthcare services (as a result of increased loss of corporate health coverage). Tight budgets, lack of credit and finances for capital purchases, declines in philanthropic donations, pushed hospitals and healthcare facilities into curtailing their expenses on the purchase of new equipment and upgradation of information infrastructure. Hospitals remained wary of their IT investments thereby squeezing opportunities for the global Hospital Information Systems market during the 2007-2009 recession period. Despite several benefits stacked in its favor and notwithstanding its sturdy value proposition from a technology standpoint, HIS implementations weakened due to the aforementioned macro economic factors including the general strategy of doing more with less among hospitals. Difficulty in accessing capital from tax-exempt bonds made it difficult for hospitals to sustain profitability during the period, thereby affecting the ability to fund new IT infrastructure and upgrade existing infrastructure, thus throwing deployment of HIS onto the backburner until signs of an economic thaw. As a result, growth in the market hit a trough in the year 2009.

The global HIS market staged a healthy recovery in the year 2010. The resurgence in market was primarily led by various stimulus packages offered by the government to infuse vigor into healthcare segment. The financial incentives given by Governments for adopting technology based innovations and improvements in healthcare also encouraged hospitals, healthcare professionals and other participants to start reinvesting in HIS, thereby driving market growth. Fast paced developments in healthcare sector in developing markets especially China and India will additionally infuse growth in the global HIS market in the short to medium term period. The large underserved market also presents tremendous opportunities for HIS market to tap. For instance, small private practices with about 4-5 doctors are relatively underserved by IT as they often fall short or resources to implement efficient tools for addressing critical data management and therefore presents a perfect opportunity for HIS providers to tap.

The market over the next few years will also benefit from healthcare industrys focus on addressing huge demand for affordable-yet-quality healthcare services. Increasing costs have left the healthcare service patrons searching for affordable-yet-quality healthcare services. This trend created an urgent need for hospitals and other healthcare providers to re-visit their operational strategies, in order to be effective in catering to changing demands of consumers. With the desire to keep pace with the fast changing consumer demand, hospitals and healthcare providers are fast leaning towards adoption of Hospital Information Systems, which in turn is resulting in an increased number of HIS implementations.

As stated by the new market research report on Hospital Information Systems, Europe continues to remain the largest regional market for HIS. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market with revenue from the region waxing at a CAGR of about 11% over the analysis period. Growth in the Asia-Pacific HIS market will be especially driven by growing income levels, improving spending power and the ability to afford quality healthcare services among people, and robust developments in healthcare IT especially in developing markets such as China and India. Clinical Information Systems represents the fastest growing market segment.

Major players in the marketplace include Agfa-Gevaert bv, Akhil Systems Pvt. Ltd., Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc., AxSys Technology Ltd., Brunie-Software GmbH, Cerner Corporation, GE Healthcare, Healthland, iSOFT Group Limited, Integrated Medical Systems Pty Ltd., Keane, McKesson Corporation, Medical Information Technology, Inc., MEDISTAR Praxiscomputer GmbH, Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V, QuadraMed Corporation, Siemens Healthcare, Softlink International Pvt Ltd., Sysmex Corporation, among others.

The research report titled “Hospital Information Systems (HIS): A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of trends, issues, strategic industry activities, and profiles of major companies worldwide. The report provides market estimates and projections (US$ Million) for product segments Non-Clinical Information Systems; and Clinical Information Systems, across geographic markets such as the US, Japan, Europe (France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (Australia, China, South Korea and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of World.

Golden, CO (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

According to Gartner research the Android smart phones market share has doubled in the last 12 months and now represents over 50% of the overall smart phone sales worldwide. The rise in market share has predictably added to the demand for more applications and represents a clear leader in the smart phone market. Firebox Training of Golden, CO recognizes the trend and also sees opportunity in an emerging technical training lag. Firebox has been offering Android training classes for more than a year, but has now expanded the class offerings giving students some condensed course schedules to accommodate the need for speed and flexibility in scheduling. Firebox Training now offers both a 3 day Introduction to Android programming class and a concentrated 2 day Advanced Android Programming course for the Droid.

Previously the Android training courses were offered as 5-day comprehensive courses but are now being broken down into the 2 course format based on student and client feedback. Many students have already mastered a basic understanding of the Android programming so dividing the courses into a basic and advance course structure made sense for Firebox. The new format opens up the class to a wider variety of students and can fit tight training budgets. The 3-day Introduction to Android Training Classes start at $ 1895 to as little as $ 995 per class depending on the number of students. The 2-Day Advanced Android Training Course, starts at $ 1295 to as little as $ 695 per student.

High-end expert instructors with real world experience deliver the instructor-led online classes. In keeping with Firebox Trainings commitment to flexibility the new course structure is designed to fit in with the busy IT workers schedule. Ideal for companies with IT staff in multiple locations, the courses are offered either as an instructor led online format, or in the traditional on-site settings.

The Android training courses are targeted towards IT departments or individuals involved with both start-ups and established companies looking to create an Android application to bring their business to the mobile market. The path to learning Android programming is not real clear. However, those that know Java or C++ will feel right at home during the Introduction to Android Programming class.

In speaking with Julie Johnson, founder of Firebox Training she had some insights into the mobile demand and in particular the Droid phenomenon; Mobile device programming is becoming more popular and even more niche applications will be required to compete on the small screenAt the end of our 3-Day Introduction to Android Programming classes our students are armed with the fundamentals to start creating real-world applications. Johnson continued In fact, a recent study by ComScore discovered that Android phones are now owned by 1 in 3 Americans which makes the need for quality application and training classes even greater. We hope we can help support programmers in getting off to the right start.

Firebox Training was founded in 2007 in Golden, Colorado. Since that time the company has delivered training for a number of well known organizations including, General Dynamics, Bank of America, Comcast, Time Warner, Oppenheimer Funds, City of Denver, City of Los Angeles and HP, just to name a few. Instructors travel to client locations across the globe. Most recently Firebox completed training in Sydney, Singapore, London, New York, Austin, Seattle and Denver.
