Book Summary: Good Strategy Bad Strategy

by SK Dutta 28. March 2013 09:14

There are lots of business strategy books in the market. I recently read the book Good Strategy Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt and was impressed with the research and insight that went into this!

This book seems to be little different from other strategy books that I read and it is clearly action oriented!

I know it is sometimes boring to read reviews, so I created summary points into a few powerpoint type slides.

Cloud Security: more than credit report of celebrities?

by SK Dutta 13. March 2013 17:05

 

By now you must have heard that someone has hacked (or fooled) the credit reporting agencies and published the credit report of celebrities like Aston Kucher, Vice President Joe Biden, Michelle Obama etc. on a website. This news came up late yesterday and even though the FBI is after the perpetrator(s), the website is still up and online... (as of 4PM Mar 13, 2013). We see many cloud providers touts the security of their cloud with 24 hours gated entry and other bells and whistles. Does it matter anymore if there are so many holes that hackers can get information from even the most protected sites like white house, CIA, credit reporting companies etc. and post them on internet?

This reminds me of few questions we get from our customers to help them decide whether they should use our cloud version or the installed version of the software. So here is my take on what you should consider while deciding on whether to rent your application on cloud or keep it in-house.

How to short circuit the officeclip login page

by Admin 30. July 2012 14:44

Some of our users have asked us to create a way so that they can put the officeclip login page on their website. Due to security reasons, so far we have restricted people to login from the OfficeClip website.

We have now added a small program (starting version 9.3.10) that will do the following:

1. Allow administrators to add login html code snippet to their website and submit directly to OfficeClip

2. Automatically send the login and password information using http form post to enter into OfficeClip

Please note that use of https or an interanet implementation of OfficeClip is suggested while using these modes:

Use the following html input fields:

  • shortLogin: contains the login email address
  • shortPassword: contains the user password
  • Http post these information to http://<your-officeclip-application>/ShortCircuit.aspx (if you are using hosted version, it will be https://officeclip.com/ShortCircuit.aspx
If everything goes alright, it will log you in to OfficeClip, if not you will get a message saying Login Incorrect.
