There are different kinds of electricians. Some mostly work with contractors to install and map out electrical circuits inside homes and commercial buildings while others lay wire for large projects such as telephone lines and traffic lights. Keep this in mind when narrowing your search for a professional. If you need a tradesperson to work on your home or building, contact an inside or house wire expert. These professionals specialize in designing and putting new electrical systems in place for houses and commercial buildings.
When you contact an electrical contractor, describe the job that needs completing. Maybe you have a large project, like a remodeling plan that requires new wiring, or a small one, such as replacing a light switch or socket. Let the electrician know. Not every person you call will have the training and know-how to do more complex work.
To further hone your search, make sure you ask electricians the following questions before hiring:
1. Are You Licensed?
Trades such as HVAC, plumbing and electrical work require contractors to carefully install complicated systems that could be hazardous if they're installed incorrectly. Therefore, most states require electricians to receive training and obtain a license before working. An electrician that's licensed is one that's competent and knowledgeable enough of his or her trade to install and maintain electrical systems.
Electricians must complete thousands of hours of training in order to get a license to practice their trade, so make sure not only the company you choose but the employees doing the work show you their license. When you view the license, ensure that it's up to date and that it's issued by your state.
2. Are You Bonded?
There's potentially a lot that can go wrong if a tradesperson like an electrician installs wiring the wrong way. To spare you and your home or office from subpar work, make sure the electrician is bonded. Being bonded means the professional has an intermediary that can pay for any damage caused to a property or foot the bill if the contractor fails to finish the job.
3. Are You Insured?
Besides a bond, you also need an electrician that's insured. Many states require contractors to carry some form of insurance along with their license. Insist that whomever you hire has the proper amount of insurance for the work you need done and call the insurer to check the policy.
See that who you hire for the job has liability and workers' compensation insurance so you don't end up paying for injuries or accidents caused by the company's work. Workers' compensation insurance means the business can provide for any of its employees if they're hurt on the job.
4. Is Your Business Licensed?
Not only should you check that the electrician is licensed by your state, you should also ask if his or her company has the certification to operate in your area. Both the electrician as well as the business he or she works for need licenses either issued by the state or local municipality.
5. Who Will Do the Work?
Ensure the person who actually comes out to complete the work is licensed, bonded and insured. You need to know not just the company that's doing the work but the person they're sending out to your home or building. Make sure the employee doing the job isn't an unsupervised apprentice. If it happens that the business uses a subcontractor, check with both the company and the tradesperson that the same kind of bond and insurance applies for that subcontractor as it would for an employee.
6. How Much Do You Charge by the Hour?
If you have a small and simple job that needs completing, such as a new light switch, then ask the electrician how much they charge for it before hiring him or her. When it comes to larger, more intensive and time-consuming work, you'll want to inquire about the contractor's hourly rate. Many tradespeople will offer to come out to your home or building, examine it and give you an estimate as well as tell you how much they charge per hour. It's best to get this in writing before proceeding.
While you're at it, call several electricians to come out to your home to give you an estimate on the work. This way you can get an idea of what the average price of the job will be.
7. Do You Offer a Warranty?
Many reputable tradespeople provide warranties for their work. Inquire if both the labor and parts the electrician uses are under warranty and how long the work is guaranteed for.
8. Do You Have or Need a Permit?
Depending on what kind of repairs or installation you need, your city could require a permit for the electrical work. Ask your electrician if the job calls for one and have him or her put the permit under his or her name. Ensuring the tradesperson obtains a permit will safeguard you from any blame if the labor turns out to be subpar.
Finding a trustworthy electrician isn't hard, but you must do your due diligence. Make sure whomever you hire is licensed, bonded and insured, and that the professional can show you proof of all three as well as get the necessary permit for the job. Besides these important factors, you can take further steps to guarantee you obtain a reputable tradesperson.
1. Get Referrals
Ask your family, friends or neighbors if they can recommend a professional to you and inquire if they're pleased with the work. Better yet, ask them if they can show you the project the electrician completed and ask them how long it took the worker to complete it.
2. Look Online
It can't hurt to also check electricians out online. Look for reviews, ratings and, most importantly, see if they have any complaints on file with your municipality or with your local business bureaus. If former customers filed grievances against them, you may want to steer clear.
3. Ask for a Quote
Reputable electricians will give you a quote for small work over the phone if you ask and will travel to your home to quote you a price for larger jobs. Be wary of one that declines to give you an estimate or insists that he or she charge you for coming out to your house.
4. Ask Them About Their Experience
Being bonded, licensed and insured is all well and good, but you also need an experienced professional to do the work. With that said, interview electricians about past projects they completed and how many years they've been in business or how much training they have.
5. Be Wary of Suspiciously Low Estimates
Watch out for contractors that greatly underbid other electricians. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Also, always remember to get the estimate in writing before settling on a company.
While all electricians need a license, not all of them do the same types of jobs. They are usually split up into three groups: outside, inside and residential.
Outside: These types of electricians work outdoors on electrical lines that connect to power plants.
Inside: Inside experts typically focus on commercial and industrial buildings that require a lot of power.
Residential: If you're a homeowner, you'll most likely need to hire an electrician that specializes in residential wiring. Residential electricians work with low-voltage systems and wiring to install fuse boxes and light fixtures.
Like many trade groups, electricians learn their craft by going to vocational schools and shadowing professionals on the job. In order to become a full-fledged professional, a person must undergo an apprenticeship with master and journeyman electricians. An apprentice needs 8,000 hours of practical work before graduating to the journeyman level.
If an apprentice reaches journeyman status, he or she can complete most electrical work but cannot design it until completing more testing along with 2,000 more on-the-job hours.
Many do-it-yourself enthusiasts might be inclined to fix electrical problems around their home, but they risk shock and bodily injury. It's always best to call a licensed electrician, even if you have something as small as an improperly working wall outlet.
Keep the following safety tips in mind:

- Article
- References
- Cited By
The original studies of "competitive authoritarianism" and "hegemonic authoritarianism" inspected the occurrence of hybrid regimes during the 1990s but stopped short of testing their propensity for democratic change. This article assesses the causal effects of hybrid regimes, and the post–cold war period itself, on regime breakdown and democratization. Using a dataset of 158 regimes from 1975 to 2004, and a discrete measure for transitions to electoral democracy, I find that competitive authoritarian regimes are not especially prone to losing power but are significantly more likely to be followed by electoral democracy: vigorous electoral contestation does not independently subvert authoritarianism, yet it bodes well for democratic prospects once incumbents are overthrown.

[Dbworld] Second Call for Papers: 2nd International Workshop on Executable Modeling (EXE 2016)
Tanja Mayerhofer <mayerhofer@...>
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Second Call for Papers: 2nd International Workshop on Executable Modeling (EXE 2016) co-located with MODELS 2016 October 3, 2016, Saint-Malo, France http://www.modelexecution.org/exe2016 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the Second International Workshop on Executable Modeling (EXE 2016), held in conjunction with the ACM/IEEE 19th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS) at Saint-Malo, France, on October 3, 2016. --------------------------- Scope and Topics --------------------------- The complexity of modern software systems, time-to-market pressures, and the need for high quality software are current challenges faced by the software industry. To address these challenges, model-driven engineering (MDE) advocates the elevation of models into the center of the development process. Models provide abstractions over the system to be developed, while also providing enough detail to automate the development of implementation artifacts and perform early software analysis. In this context, executable models become more and more important. Executable models provide abstractions of a systemâs behavior and constitute the basis for performing early analyses of that behavior. The ability to analyze a systemâs behavior early in its development has the potential to turn executable models into important assets of a model-driven software development process. Despite the potential benefits of executable models, there are still many challenges to solve, such as the lack of maturity in the definition of and tooling for executable modeling languages, and the limited experience with executable modeling in much of the software development industry. EXE 2016 will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss these challenges and propose potential solutions, as well as to assess and advance the state-of-the-art in this area.(Continue reading)

The the real Mahmoody behind the backwards like and violent Mahmoody character in the 90's movie "Not Without My Daughter". He is still in search of his beloved daughter, Mahtob Mahmoody. Sayed Mahmoody (70) is a medical doctor who trained in the UK and the USA. He lived and worked in America for more than twenty years where he established a successful practice as an anaesthetist and consultant in Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT). OMT is a holistic treatment that deals with the patient as a whole being. OMT practitioners use their hands to apply pressure on muscles, nerves and joints â to relieve pain, stiffness and tension in the whole body. He is an aristocratic Iranian by birth. Sayedâs mother and father died by the time he was eight-years-old, and he was raised by his sister. Although a strict Muslim, he is no way fanatical and believes that Islam is a religion of tolerance, enlightenment and peace. Sayed returned to Iran with his wife, Betty and daughter, Mahtob with the aim of using his medical knowledge to help treat the victims of the Iran-Iraq war. Days after his green-card expired, Betty left Terhan without warning, taking Mahtob with her on a Swissair Flight to the US. She then divorced Sayed in a US court where he had no voice, so gaining control of all the familyâs assets, including substantial properties and savings. The court case and subsequent publication of his wifeâs book, Not Without My Daughter, made him persona non grata in the USA. Sayed has never remarried and continues to work full-time as an OMT practitioner, anaesthetist and university lecturer in Tehran.

The Top 5 Supplements You Need for Self-Care
By Tori Hudson, ND
To propose a mere five supplements for self-care is a presumptuous task. But indeed, those of us in a position to advise others about their health, and offer healing touch, must attend to the proverbial "health thyself," if not heal, at least attend to.Dietary supplements I might recommend in everyday clinical practice depend on a patient's age, family history, medical history, current health issues and any disease burden they already carry, medications, lifestyle habits and personal and economic ability to follow my advice are all front and center variables in how I would approach each situation. With that disclaimer in mind, I offer five supplements that cover a broad range of considerations and what I might assert offer the most bang for the buck and can have some specific connection with a very physical job and close contact with many people. This list includes fish oil, rhodiola, vitamin D, turmeric and echinacea.
Fish Oils
It is estimated that approximately 80 percent of Americans consume a diet deficient in essential fatty acids (EFAs). This is thanks to processed foods, high saturated fat diets, higher meat diets and low fish diets. The balance of fats in the typical North American diet is dramatically out of sync with the needs of our bodies. An insufficiency of fish and fish oils in our diet has led to a decrease in our intake of omega-3 fatty acids by 80% during the last century.
EFAs play crucial roles in the body on a minute-by-minute basis. They produce hormone-like compounds (prostaglandins); maintain cell membrane function; regulate pain, inflammation and swelling; dilate and constrict blood vessels; mediate immune response; regulate smooth muscle responses; prevent blood clots; regulate blood pressure and nerve transmission; regulate cholesterol levels; and even much more. Deficiencies of EFAs, which are so vital to many of the body's most basic functions, can lead to many health problems. Diseases linked to EFA deficiency include depression, anxiety, childhood developmental and behavioral problems, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic neuropathy, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, breast cancer, allergies and skin conditions such as eczema.
Supplementing the diet with fish oil supplements has been shown to prevent and/or improve these health issues. The research that is the most robust for fish oils is in heart disease - reducing heart attacks, improving blood pressure, lowering triglycerides, regulating heart rhythms and much more. A high quality fish oil supplement is money well spent and the more you know, the more you will assure a product with proven purity and freshness, adequate concentration of the two fatty acids in the fish oil (EPA and DHA), and dosed according to the specific health needs she has.
Turmeric, or Curcuma long, is a common spice native to India, China and Indonesia. The main constituent group that has been identified in turmeric is polyphenolic curcuminoids, which is what is responsible for the bright yellow pigmentation. The curcuminoids represent 2% to 5% of the root which is 85% curcumin, the most well researched constituent. Properties of the curcumin include antioxidant effects, suppressant effects on mutagens, anti-inflammatory mechanisms, immune influences, inhibition of platelet aggregation and a wide range of cancer prevention actions. Curcumin also has the ability to alter lipids, improve digestion and support liver/gall bladder function. Clinical indications include generalized chronic inflammation, uveitis, chemoprevention with specific abilities to reduce the risk of colorectal and pancreatic cancers as well as multiple myeloma, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, irritable bowel syndrome and gastric ulceration. My main reason for including it in this list of top five self-care supplements is due to its wide range of action and its particular research in improving joint function by improving osteoarthritis pain, stiffness and physical function. Choices of optimal turmeric products should be based on curcuminoid content and demonstration of superior absorption into the blood stream.
Rhodiola Rosea
Rhodeola rosea, or "golden root," has been used in Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and Asia for centuries. Traditionally, R. rosea was used in folk medicine with a reputation to increase physical endurance, productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections and disorders of the nervous system. The roots were used as bouquets to enhance fertility in young Siberian couples prior to their marriage. The tea was used for colds and flus during the hard winters in Asia.
The Vikings of Scandinavia used the herb to enhance their physical strength and endurance - something they came to be famous for. All of this folklore first led to investigations of its phytochemistry in the early 1960s that identified adaptogenic compounds in the roots of the plant. These adaptogens, as well as the later discovered antioxidant and stimulating compounds in Rhodiola rosea, are responsible for its medicinal properties. Rosavin is the constituent currently selected for standardization of extracts.
The properties of Rhodiola rosea have been attributed primarily to its influence on the levels and activity of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. It may be that the plant inhibits the breakdown of these chemicals and facilitates the neurotransmitter transport within the brain. In addition to these effects on the central nervous system, Rhodiola has been reported to increase the chemicals that provide energy to the muscle of the heart and to prevent the depletion of adrenal catecholamines induced by acute stress.
Historically, Rhodiola was observed to act in humans as a tonic, increase attention span, memory and work performance. Two human studies were able to show that individuals with fatigue, irritability, insomnia and decline in work capacity responded favorably to a Rhodiola extract dose of 50 mg three times a day. In one of those studies of 128 patients aged 17 to 55, Rhodiola alleviated fatigue, irritability, distractibility, headache and weakness in 64 percent of the cases. In a study of students, physicians and scientists, Rhodiola was given for 2 to 3 weeks beginning several days before intense intellectual work such as final exams. The extract improved the amount and quality of work and prevented decrease performance due to fatigue. Using Rhodiola during final exams appears to be beneficial as well. Medical students took a Rhodiola extract for 20 days and had significant improvements in mental fatigue, general well-being, final exam grades and physical fitness.
Several studies have shown that Rhodiola increased physical work capacity and significantly shortened the recovery time between bouts of intense exercise. In one study, work capacity was increased by 9 percent and the pulse slowed to normal much more quickly. Biathlon athletes given Rhodiola also have shown statistically significant increased shooting accuracy, less arm tremor and better coordination. Improved recovery time, strength, endurance and cardiovascular measures were also significantly better in those who took Rhodiola. While it is uncertain as to what is responsible for these effects, animal studies suggest that Rhodiola increases essential energy metabolites in the muscle and brain cells.
Vitamin D
The reference files that take up the most space in my home library second to fish oils, is vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is a very common problem in the U.S., and especially in an aging population. Most of our vitamin D comes from sun exposure, and only a small amount typically obtained from food or supplements. Due to our decreasing exposure to sun, with spending so much time indoors, wearing clothing and/or sunscreen, the majority of us just don't get enough vitamin D anymore, whether we live in Alaska or Arizona.
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with osteoporosis and increased risk fractures. Lower levels of vitamin D is also associated with risks of cancers of the colon, breast and ovary. Vitamin D deficiency has other serious implications and has been associated with several autoimmune diseases, asthma, cognitive decline, depression and even increases in the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Supplemental vitamin D is being used to prevent and treat osteoporosis, depression, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, breast cancer patients and much more. The most recent Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) recommended by the Institute of Medicine is now 600 IU per day for people ages 1 to 70 and 800 IU per day for those 71 and older. The updated safe upper limit is 4,000 IU a day for those 9 years old and above, pregnant or not. Most practitioners and a studious group of consumers realize that there are scores of studies on the many other potential health benefits of vitamin D and more individualized testing and dosing can easily occur.
Echinacea Species
The reason that Echinacea deserves a spot on the top five list is due to its ability to defend against the common cold and other upper respiratory infections. Several species of Echinacea plant are used to make preparations from its leaves, flowers and/or root. Echinacea can be taken at the first sign of a cold, after cold symptoms already start, or even routinely especially in fall/winter due to the propensity of colds and upper respiratory infections during this time. Modern research demonstrates that Echinacea can have an ability to reduce cold symptoms and shorten the duration of a cold. Echinacea can also be used for many other infections including flus, urinary tract infections, gum disease, tonsillitis, strep infections, skin infections and more. Commercial Echinacea products are available in liquid extracts, herbal tinctures, tablets, capsules and teas. There are nine species of Echinacea but the most common preparations are Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia.
These top five supplements of fish oils, vitamin D, turmeric, rhodiola and echinacea can offer a vast and significant array of health benefits. Not only are these five supplements attractive due to the significant research that has been done, they are also appealing due to the broad scope of benefit, safety and reasonable affordability. I encourage all massage practitioners to attend to one's health, not only with important supplements, but the basics of a healthy whole foods diet, regular exercise, rest, stress management, time in nature and fun!

Anti-people policies of UPA forced me to come out: Mamata
Howrah: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday claimed that the `anti-people policies` of the UPA compelled her quit the alliance.
"Be it its attitude towards small and marginal farmers or sharecroppers, hike in the price of LPG cylinders and fertilisers .... We could not accept their policies as it went against our pro-people objectives ... And so we walked out of the UPA," Banerjee told a rally in support of TMC candidate Prasun Banerjee for the Howrah Lok Sabha bypoll on June 2.
Blaming the Centre for the financial condition of the state, she repeated her claim that the Centre was taking away a considerable part of revenue as interest on loan taken by the erstwhile Left Front government.
Speaking about the bypoll, she alleged that the Congress, CPI(M) and BJP were working together to prevent the Trinamool Congress from winning.
Banerjee, who has held four meetings in three days at Howrah alleged that although BJP had withdrawn its candidate for the bypoll, it was propping up two independent candidates.
Banerjee also claimed that her government had fulfilled all promises made in her party manifesto in just two years.
"The Left Front had wasted their 34-year rule in the state. I am now working overtime to bring about overall development of the state."
She also announced that Howrah municipal corporation election would be held in November.

Water Lyrics
Artist: Marty Willson-Piper
Album: Art Attack
[Spoken Intro]
[Marty] The gondolas, sometimes they sleep. But othertimes they swim.
[Ann Carlberger] And you?
[Marty] Me?
The sudden rush and temptation
Of drizzle on my window
To go out and swim in the streets
With you
To turn the world into Venice
To let the water shrink me
Let me float in my umbrella boat
With you
I can see the rain clouds emptying
Little needles leaning to the left
Of you
And high they fly like burst balloons
Running to the moon
For an airless rest
With you
I'll slip on the deck of the fishing trawler
Wearing comical yellow
There's fishtails going off like mousetraps
Nets so many holes yet prisons
Me just in it simply for
The water
The faces of mountains
Cut with white blood
Stampeding stallions of foam
For you
To hoof shaped pools
The sparkle of imaginary jewels
That the magician that the
Sun is creates

Spend your first five nights in the City of God, staying in a five-bed dormitory at £50 per night.
Category two tickets for England's [hypothetical] opening game at the Maracana Stadium are available for £96.
Carnival time: The festivities will be in full flow during the World Cup
Come fly with me: Flight prices are expected to increase over the coming months
19-22 June: Fly to Curitiba for England's second fixture
So England have won their opening fixture and you're having the holiday of a lifetime.
The internal flight is only a short hop and it's a snip for £86.
Three weeks is a long stay so you're taking it steady with an average of three pints a day at around £2.50 a go.
Curitiba is slightly more inland and you're craving the beach so you limit the stopover to three nights.
By this point the Arena Pantanal is actually built so you enjoy a second England victory with your £96 ticket before checking out of your single bed with shared bathroom at £160 for three nights.
Basic accommodation: A Typical double room with shared bathroom
22-28 June: Final group game in Porto Alegre
With the knock-out stages in sight, England have built up the hopes of the nation and we all believe that this could be the year.
We're allowing £25 per day for food which is enough to sample the culinary delights of South America.
The hotdogs in the stadium aren't quite so tempting but that doesn't matter because you've had your three pints of lager and you're about to witness England win the group with your £96 ticket at the Estadia Beria-Rio.
Internal flights from Curitiba to Porto Alegre are available for £63 and you can get a single bed with shared bathroom at £287 for six nights.
Samba style: Head down to the beach at Porto Alegre
Lobster anyone: the Brazilian coastline offers exceptional seafood
28 June - 3 July: Sao Paulo for the first knockout stages
Check down in Sao Paulo after your £48 flight from Porto Alegre.
The other supporters are all berating you in the four-bed dorm because you booked well in advance and secured your bed at £140 for five nights.
Ticket prices are ramped up for the round of 16 and you pay £105 for your category two ticket.
You're forgiven for going over your three pint average and probably end up dancing in a fountain.
It's coming home: England supporters revel in the team's success as Roy Hodgson's side progress to the quarter finals
3-6 July: The dream trip comes to an end as England lose in quarter final penalties
Brasilia is the most northern point of the tour and it's a £168 flight from Sao Paolo.
You treat yourself to a double room for the final three nights at a cost of £169.
The pressure all becomes a little much for the England team and they are knocked out in a penalty shootout as your emotional journey takes its course.
But this is exactly what you expected and you've already booked your £308 internal flight to Rio where you wave goodbye to Brazil and catch your connecting flight home.
Copacabana: Wave goodbye to Rio after an emotional three weeks in Brazil
Breakdown: How much will the dream trip set you back?
International flights = £911
Internal flights = £673
Accommodation = £1006
Match tickets = £504
England shirt = £39
Three beers a day at £2.50 a pint = £157.50
Food and drink allowance at £25 per day = £550
Cost to follow England to the quarter finals in Brazil = £3,840.50

"Squanto" is a highly imaginary version of the first contacts between Native Americans and early settlers from England. Set just before and after the founding of the Plymouth Colony in 1620, it runs everything through the mill of Political Correctness, so that we get a character who says, "If we want to understand them, then we should learn all we can about their culture." My own reading about the Puritans indicates they were interested mostly in establishing their own culture, were intolerant of disagreement, and did not think the Indians had a culture. But this is one of those historical movies in which everything is seen in hindsight - even the introduction of popcorn to Europeans, which the hero accomplishes along with many other feats.
His name is Squanto (Adam Beach), and as the movie opens he has just been married to the fragrant Nakooma (Irene Bedard). Then sailing ships are sighted off the coast, and soon the Indians are trading furs for baubles. Squanto foolishly trusts the English explorers and, along with his friend Epenow (Eric Schweig) accepts an invitation to help load the furs onboard the ship; they're kidnapped, and returned to England as curiosities, for public exhibition.
Squanto, who must have been the Houdini of his time, is not easy to keep captive, and soon he has taken refuge in a monastery, where the friendly monks protect him. Brother Daniel (Mandy Patinkin) gives him a tour of the library and offers to teach him English, which Squanto learns with such alacrity that soon he speaks it better than Henry Kissinger, and with less of an accent.
Meanwhile, a manhunt occupies all England; the vile Sir George (Michael Gambon), whose ships brought Squanto back from the new land, considers the Indian his property, and wants him returned.
Through complications too unlikely to explain, Squanto learns of a shipload of Puritans who just happened to be setting off for North America, and jumps onboard, on horseback, knocking Sir George into the drink.
By a wonderful coincidence, the ship lands at the very shore where Squanto's tribe awaits, and then the Puritans, after some initial suspicion and hostility, celebrate the first Thanksgiving (in a scene that could double as an ad for the Turkey Council). Somehow I doubt the dialogue of their reconciliation, including "Enough! Too much blood!" Still, all is then peaceful for two generations, the end titles inform us - until, of course, the Europeans begin 300 years of broken treaties and genocide, but that's another movie.
"Squanto" is the kind of superficial, tidied-up, idealized history that might appeal to younger viewers. No thoughtful person will be able to take it seriously. For an incomparably more accurate and evocative portrayal of the earliest contacts between Native Americans and Europeans, see Bruce Beresford's "Black Robe" (1991), which is to "Squanto" as Geronimo is to Tonto.

MADRID, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the new SAP® 360 Customer solution. Powered by the SAP HANA® platform, the solution will harness the power of in-memory computing, cloud, enterprise mobility and collaboration to allow organizations to revolutionize the way they engage with their customers beyond traditional customer relationship management (CRM). The announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® NOW + SAP® TechEd, being held as a co-located event in Madrid from November 13-16.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO)
In today's highly competitive business climate, customer experience becomes the new competitive differentiation for organizations. "Customer expectations continue to rise. It's simply not enough to only react to customer issues," said Don Peppers, co-founder, Peppers & Rogers Group. "By understanding customers' needs, preferences and social profile, companies seek to proactively engage with them to create personalized and differentiated experiences that lead to trust."
This engagement enables companies to improve customer loyalty, maximize customers' lifetime value and optimize their resources to create more value for the customers and the shareholders alike. The breakthrough in-memory technology of SAP HANA will turn this vision into a reality for enterprises around the globe.
"This is a game-changing solution that will help companies market better, sell better, service better and truly create remarkable experiences for their customers," said Bill McDermott, co-CEO, SAP. "With SAP 360 Customer powered by SAP HANA, companies gain true 360-degree customer insight that is real-time, actionable and available anywhere."
SAP 360 Customer will provide unique capabilities to turn insight into action and engage with customers one-to-one — in context and in real time. It will enable organizations to create a superior customer experience while driving operational excellence by empowering the mobile workforce, fostering collaboration, executing transactions faster and providing better response times. The solution is already transforming the way companies engage with customers. Lenovo, a US$29 billion personal technology company and the world's second-largest PC vendor, has been an early adopter of the SAP HANA platform to support the fast growth of the organization.
"Knowing exactly what is happening in our business at any moment and being able to respond quickly to changing market conditions is critical for the success of Lenovo," said Xiaoyu Liu, vice president, Global Application Development, Lenovo. "SAP HANA has proven to be a high-performing platform to help us achieve this goal. That's why we are exploring supercharging customer relationship management with SAP HANA. We have already seen 30 times faster performance in key processes during the customer validation phase. The first results are very promising, allowing our business to not only get 360-degree real-time business insight, but also significantly accelerating all our customer-facing operations."
"We have realized the long-held vision of our founder Hasso Plattner to deliver a real-time enterprise with transaction, text and analytics processing on one platform," said Dr. Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP Executive Board, Technology and Innovation. "Support pack stack 5, to be announced this week, is a non-disruptive increment for SAP HANA and yet a large step forward, as it aims to enable integrated application services, key enterprise capabilities for high availability, disaster recovery and integrated text analytics, as well as key OLTP optimizations that enable us to release our first mission-critical SAP Business Suite application, SAP CRM, to run completely on the SAP HANA platform."
Three Essential Elements of SAP 360 Customer
Customers will benefit from three elements of SAP 360 Customer, including:
- Real-time insight: Organizations will gain proprietary customer insights, understand customer needs and preferences and predict future behavior. This real-time and true 360-degree view of the customer will be based on the most accurate front-office interactions, back-office transactions and publicly available information from social networks. Organizations will be able to access large amounts of data in shorter periods of time, dramatically increase the speed of existing processes and revolutionize decision-making — anywhere, on any device.
- Real-time interactions: Companies will be able to leverage just-in-time customer insight to deliver one-to-one interactions through any channel. Organizations will be able to deliver a differentiated customer experience and provide customers with highly personalized offerings, which will accurately reflect the specific customer needs and wants. They will be able to act on information as it happens and proactively engage with customers to resolve issues, introduce new products and services and decide on future courses of action.
- Real-time execution: Companies will be able to instantly carry out end-to-end customer processes beyond the front office, truly deliver on their brand promise and create differentiated customer experiences. By leveraging industry best practices inherent in SAP solutions, organizations will be able to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of every customer process. This will enable companies to truly transform and empower the front line employees to better engage with customers across marketing, sales and service functions.
A key component of the SAP 360 Customer solution will be the SAP® CRM application powered by SAP HANA. Other products to be included are cloud-based solutions such as the SAP® Customer OnDemand solution, the SAP® Jam social software platform and several mobile solutions.
SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA is also planned for availability as a rapid-deployment solution for new customers and CRM installations, as well as to support existing customer pilots. SAP® Rapid Deployment solutions are designed for customers to go live within 12 weeks or less and offer a complete package of pre-configured software, implementation services, content and end-user enablement for a fixed price and scope.
More Opportunities for Partners
SAP 360 Customer will be implemented and offered by SAP and partners. With the solution, partners will have an opportunity to innovate and grow their business while helping their customers gain competitive differentiation and grow.
