The disadvantage was that either those tools were too light or were not competent enough in scaling the data, which resulted in big penalties in terms of time and requirement of skill set which was not an easy task to find. The mu Webfluenz E is Mu Sigma’s first social media analytics release which would now overtake all other data analytic tools.

Deepinder Dhingra, Head of products at Mu Sigma, opined that most of the Fortune 500 companies they work with wanted tools to evaluate both structured and unstructured data. Yet, the current tools exhibited in the market do not serve that purpose legitimately.

To combat with this issue, mu Webfluenz E combines machine learning with human intelligence thus making the job doable. Mu Webfluenz E uses natural language processing and advanced text mining, to name a few technologies, which makes it hold its head above the existing tools.

Mu Sigma has already attracted a lot of customers with its mu Webfluenz E strategy, making them implement activities like custom categorization of customer complaints , catching product defects well ahead of time, thus improving the overall perspective of brand health. It is appreciable that Mu Sigma has made mu Webflenz ready for deployment while the pricing would vary depending on the choice of algorithm and the needs of the customer.

For a tool as extensive as the Mu Webfluenz, pricing wouldn’t be a criterion to ponder upon by the clientele. The tools make us visualize as how user friendly categorization and analysis of data would become in the near future. Probably, it would make the clients manage structured and unstructured information with their eyes closed. In a nutshell, we can infer that Mu Webfluenz will be a major milestone to the Mu Sigma fraternity.

Duo Security, which was started five years ago has developed as a leader in giving secure but easily usable two-factor authentication technology to its rapidly-growing number of business customers. The company, to aid its rise has raised $12 million in Series B financing from Benchmark and has also added its general partner Matt Cohler to the board.

Duo Security gets series B funding

Two-factor authentication is not a new thing. For the last couple of decades, Security-focused companies have made their employees use this technology while logging in to services and applications containing sensitive information. But the world is dynamic, as enterprises are wanting to adopt more and more cloud services, employees want enterprise solutions that are identical to the consumer applications which they use widely in their daily lives.

Although, enabling the two -factor authentication meant using inconvenient, hardware-based token authentication to make sure that a user was exactly the person they said they were. With due passage of time, even more two-factor authentication solutions have shifted to the cloud, that requires users to enter multi-digit codes that they receive via email or SMS.

In most cases, the solution is not ideal for a workforce that is shifting progressively to a bring-your-own-device model for availing business documents and applications. And with more organizations moving from on-premises storage and applications to cloud services, there is a need to keep a lock on sensitive data more than ever.

Duo Security hopes to remove those shifts in employee and enterprise behavior to offer two-factor authentication technology that is incredibly secure and also very easy to use. With the help of Duo Push authentication technology users can comfortably accept a mobile device and authenticate it with one tap via push notification. While Duo Push is an important differentiator for the company, it also aids more conventional forms of two-factor authentication, which includes hardware-based tokens and SMS pass codes.

But making the two-factor authentication accessible only matters to a customer only if it aids different types of applications and services. On this front, Duo Security favors wide number of accepted enterprise cloud apps such as Sales force, Microsoft Office, Google Apps, and Box. This can be used to log into enterprise VPNs or constructed into the company’s own domestic development or collaboration tools via APIs and a web SDK.

Duo hopes to increase sales and widen its engineering team with the new money. Duo Security has been accelerating at a fast pace, now aiding more than 5,000 business customers, all thanks to its huge support for a range of apps and its flexibility for business arrangements. In the technology world, those customers include giants like Facebook, Etsy, Box, Yelp, and Threadless, this is how the company was noticed by Benchmark’s Matt Cohler.

Cohler is mostly known for his contacts with the consumer-facing enterprises like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Yelp, but he has also invested in B2B companies like Zendesk, Domo, and Asana. The new funding comes exceeds the $5 million Series A round that had been handled by Google Ventures – Previous investors.

The two-factor identification system is a leading step for securing the very sensitive enterprise data. There is a big need to put a lock on the important information of the companies. Thus, this deal will really help to bridge the gap between employers and employees.

Seeing the today’s power hungry computers, it is the most cost-effective and reliable device for keeping the processor cool. By having all these properties it is certainly the most ideal for lightning applications. Its low thermal resistance property is attained by combining the cold forging and the high performance materials. Its thermal conductivity is 2.36 times better as compared to die casting.

Talking about the airflow, heat draws up into the CPU heatsink and the heatpipes draw the heat further into the aluminium fins. A cool breeze is impelled into the fin which extracts the heat from the metal as it moves ahead. The airflow is then speeded up by the second fan and therefore, results in the increase of efficiency.

Microsoft lay offs 2100 employees out of the 18000 lay offs in round 2

Yet another “Expect the unexpected” kind of story knocking your door! Yes, it’s about the computer giant MICRSOFT. Without a shadow of doubt, there would be very few techies who would not have taken services from Microsoft or used its products.

Microsoft lay offs 2100 employees

Most often, Microsoft would be on news announcing its new releases. But this time, it’s not! As Microsoft announced earlier, about downsizing of about 18,000 of its employees, in its round two of planned dismissal the company fired 2,100 of them worldwide on Thursday. About 747 of them were from the Seattle-Redmond area, in the state of Washington, where the company is headquartered while the remaining layoffs were from locations worldwide.

The layoffs were not from any specific team but across a variety of them. There is ideally no concrete information on which teams were hardly hit by the lay off. The firing began as early as last July, when 13,000 of its employees, predominantly from Nokia, were handed their pink-slips.

The lay-off included resources from the Operating systems department and every other department. Sources mention that, the acquiring of Nokia’s employees and entering the phone business was a challenge to Microsoft’s earnings and hence the layoff.

The Microsoft officials had already given a heads-up saying that they would be revising their worldwide workforce by cutting 18,000 jobs with 12,500 of those cuts coming from the employees, as reported by CNet. Not stopping with this, Microsoft is not leaving its contingent employees untouched. It’s planning to minimize its dependency on them by 20 percent, as a part of the re-alignment plan.

This action of Microsoft will attract the company about 1.1 billion dollars to 1.6 billion dollars as pre-tax charges, for severance and related benefit costs over the next four quarters. But this is not the end of the story, with two rounds of layoff, the giant company is still planning to chop of another 2,900 of them by July 2015.

The only justification from the CEO, Satya Nadella for the layoff is that it’s a part of their turnaround strategy which will shift the company from being a mere “devices and services” company to a more productive one which would help its customers. He had also remarked that eliminating roles in certain areas would imply that they are adding more important ones in key strategic areas.

Well, for a Herculean concern like the Microsoft, despite the downsizing being historical, it would get back to its seat with ease. But let’s hope the process is transparent and thoughtful enough, with deepest regards and concern for the affected individuals. All that we can do right now is to wait and watch the big picture till July 2015!
