In today’s technical world, computers are not only widely utilized, they are depended upon. They are relied upon for several reasons. Some use them for recreational purposes and others strictly use them for work. This especially holds true for those who work in the field of Internet marketing.

Internet marketers rely on their computers for every aspect of their business. Without their computers, they can’t work. Not only do they lose money, they suffer from extreme loss of productivity. So, if you are in the field of Internet marketing and heavily rely on your computer, here are some ways to keep your system in tip-top shape!

1. Install spyware removal software. Doing this will clear away any potential spyware that could harm your computer. Not to mention, this will protect you from future spyware should it try to find its way onto your machine. This is because the spyware software that you installed will block it, not allowing further spy ware to manifest and make harmful changes to your system.

2. Run the disc defragmenter on a regular basis. This will take up to an hour depending on your computer, but running this process is worth it. Defragmenting the hard drive will enable your computer to run faster because space will be freed on your hard disc.

3. Install virus protection software and run it on a regular basis. This is to detect any viruses that may be hibernating on your system. Failing to protect your system from viruses will call for a disaster.

4. Install software that will clear your computer of any errors. You will want to get your hands on software that will do the job thoroughly so as to not allow for dangerous errors to take over and harm your hard drive. Errors can ruin your system registry, as well as wipe out important files and cause other disastrous problems. One brand of software that is quite notable is Error Killer. Run this regularly and your computer will be error free!

5. Lastly, you will want to scan and protect your system against malware. Malware is malicious software that finds its way onto your computer and then destroys applications, thus causing your computer not to function properly or to not function at all. So, it is important that you guard your computer against this.

If you take these measures to protect your computer, the chances of it not working for you will be quite slim. Not only that, it is a tune up that won’t cost you hundreds of dollars or, worse yet, a new system. Plus, it is easy and will save you much trouble in the long run. Give your system the tune up it needs on a regular basis and, in return, it will perform optimally for you.

Currently, at EC, we are working on launching our new CRM software: www.freedomcrm.com.
I always thought making a movie must be really fascinating, and hell it is ! I say this not just as an outsider, but because I got an amazing chance to follow the complete production of a bollywood movie that my uncle is producing – Rivayat.

No connection between the 2 sentences above- well I have been doing both things simultaneously. And just realized, that both the processes, making of the movie and process of creating a new software, for any company, are so similar.
Like any software product, a movie starts with an idea, it can be anything, an inspiration, passion about something, some good cause, simply the idea of making money, or you are just crazy !. Then you write down the concept that becomes your IP(Intellectual Property) – the script. Most important similarity – you check what all your local competitors and international competitors (lets call them as mentors or innovators) have already done about the same concept and copy… oops – get inspired by what you like in them be it awesome scenes, good sequences, or an amazing GUI. Then you step forward and get a team together. And then all the regular HR procedures follow : interviews-casting, portfolios- resumes, packages and negotiations. Even confidential upper management hiring- isn’t there a similarity between Steve Jobs pulling in John Sculley for Mac and karan Johar making Shahrukh Khan cancel other dates for K3G ;-).

Just like the software has to be completed in the stipulated timeframe, the movie has to be optimized during its production to hit the mahurat on time. And for obvious reasons of enhancements (dream sequences to be shot in Switzerland that not originally in the script) and precision (blowing away 10 cars instead of 5 for better effect ), the budget overshoots much to the apathy of the chairman. Designers and developers have to work in sync to give the software the creative touch and the superior functionality and so do actors and technicians. Except of course designers wont get that sort of fame.

After months of toiling hard, the movie is out for release. Lots of pre launch hype has to be created for the ‘revolutionary’ product we have created. After lots of internal testing, it goes out towards the first round of live customer testing- the premier. These are the elite class of testers(software experts) who supposedly have all the knowledge of the taste of the world and often go wrong at that..
And now comes the big difference that makes the movie a really amazing product business to be in. There is no other product in the world, that comes to know its fate in a matter of 24 hours of its launch. A movie does ! You know your sales, revenues, profit or loss- everything within 24 hours. And that’s it- no further fuss at it. There possibly cant be a business plan for any software that has its base over what happens in a span of 24 hours. This is a real highlight of making a movie. You don’t have to bother spending more on trade shows, altering marketing strategies, or do anything if things have gone wrong. Just leave it and move ahead J. You don’t have to keep trying again and again to make it right in spite of people making it clear that they don’t want you – steve ballmer should wish he would have consulted ram gopal verma before trying so hard with Zune ;-)

And if it’s a Hit- nothing like it. You turn into God overnight. And like all successful softwares, what do you do when the world loves you- go in for the version 2.0 (read sequel) of the product.

Products from small companies are like documentaries – coming next. !
