...projects !

Well, weekend was packed with projects and extra lecture.

Telecom Management had one lecture short due to the Memorial day holiday - it was compensated by Sat evening lecture from 4:30 pm to 8 pm. Crazy, but true !

Earlier in the day, we were working towards the Telecom Management group term paper - IPTV.

Later, till 9 pm we were busy with the same - so Saturday was pretty much about Telecom Management.

Sunday - I woke up - not so fresh and got ready for the Strategic Corporate Mangement's group project meeting. We have chosen the topic of "Should Infosys be a dominant player in China and how ? (organically or inorganically - buying companies like Neusoft of Hisoft can give them huge advantage and step in the Korean and Japanese markets). We have provided a few alternative topics to the professor just in case he does not like this topic as much interesting. Mellon financial's strategy, Mobile gaming strategy for European service providers, and Google's China strategy are the alternatives we have provided.

Post lunch, at around 2:30 pm we had another back to back meeting for Sourcing IT systems with case study's Risk assessment and Feasibility analysis for FBI's VCF (Virtual Case File) study. It was interesting to see how such a largely touted investigation organization can have such miserable project management and IT infrastructure. 9/11 caught them off-guard and they were badly hit !

Anyways, overall, an eventful week.

you would be really surpirsed at the state of IT in many other sectors too.. The company I am interning for, is a HUGE cement and mineral gaint. It covers almost 55% pf the US market share and btw this considering that its a Danish company.. if you look at the attitude toward IT.. it totally sucks.. something I havent been able to adjust to yet given my IT background:)

But dude.. that day isnt far when Aglity grips all business areas.. we shall wait for that day!

@ Neha:
You are right - agility would grip most of business areas. Incompetents would be thrown out !
