Review Fifty Years in Wall Street (Big Business) / Ayer Co Pub:The definitive look at Wall Street in the 19th Century Perhaps the 19th century's best book on Wall Street, Fifty Years in Wall Street provides a fascinating look at the financial markets during a period of rapid economic expansion. Henry Clews was a giant figure in finance at that time, and his firsthand account brings this colorful era to life like never before. He reveals shocking stories of political and economic manipulation and how he helped bring down the mighty Boss Tweed. He writes eloquently about the madness of the markets and how the era's greatest speculators amassed their fortunes. This book provides an expansive view of Wall Street in an era of little regulation, rampant political corruption, and rapid financial change. Henry Clews was born in England in 1836 and emigrated to the United States in 1850. In 1859, he cofounded what became the second largest marketer of federal bonds during the Civil War. Later, he organized the "Committee of 70," which deposed the corrupt Tweed Ring in New York City, and served as an economic consultant to President Ulysses Grant.

Review Australia Business Process Outsourcing: Profiles of Leading Players / IDC Research:This IDC study shows how the competitive landscape for business process outsourcing (BPO) services is seeing significant change, especially among those providers with an IT services legacy. The players highlighted in this study are KAZ, Salmat, and Datamail. IDC presents its thinking on the market dynamics affecting the competitive landscape.

Review The Outsourcing Dilemma: A Look at Selective Outsourcing in Australia / IDC Research:This IDC study presents an analysis of the shifting trends and perceptions toward selective outsourcing within Australian organisations and examines the drivers underlying this approach toward this sourcing strategy. A few case studies have been researched to understand the drivers behind the decision to move away from total/sole outsourcing to selective outsourcing. "Selective outsourcing is being perceived as the new vehicle of change to help organisations drive their costs down and achieve better efficiencies. This sourcing strategy will, however, bring new challenges in terms of vendor management and governance, which would become more complex due to the involvement of multiple vendors. Defining a robust governance framework with a clear responsibility matrix would thus be extremely critical to the success of these outsourcing relationships," says Aprajita Sharma, analyst, Outsourcing and BPO.

Review The New Generation of Australian BPO Services: Cutting Through the Hype / IDC Research:This IDC study provides an overview of the current BPO market status in Australia. It addresses how the BPO market is evolving in Australia. This document explores the business concept behind BPO and how companies are changing their sourcing strategies in order to face today's tough business pressures. It illustrates how over the years companies have spent a growing portion of the corporate budgets on specialised external service providers and how this pattern is proceeding. The information and analysis presented in this document will give players in the BPO market, as well as organisations planning to move into it, a useful framework to understand the bigger picture of BPO and assess future opportunities. "Business process outsourcing has been widely used by local media recently. It has become a buzzword with high visibility in the IT and business community. However, we've also discovered ambiguity in defining this concept. People have different interpretations and perceptions of BPO. Even within the vendor group, understandings are quite dissimilar, as such a long education period is expected," says Kathy Benson, research manager, Outsourcing & BPO, IDC Australia.

Review Japan Telecommunications Services 2004-2009 Forecast: The Shift of Voice to Data / IDC Research:This IDC study provides an overview of the Japan fixed line telecommunications market. The traditional PSTN and leased line markets continue to shrink as a result of price pressure from broadband, VoIP, and corporate data services utilizing new WAN technologies such as IP VPN and wide area Ethernet. This study sizes the 2004 market and provides forecasts through 2009 for the major market segments. "The fixed line market in Japan is shrinking but carriers are rolling out innovative services and some segments are showing strong growth. The changes taking place render the Japan market extremely dynamic and provide lessons that should be heeded by carriers throughout the world in the next few years," says Daniel Newman, market analyst, Japan Telecommunications Services, IDC Japan. "The spread of broadband and unbundling requirements from the government are creating a highly competitive market landscape. Disruptive technologies and business strategies are making it possible for smaller carriers to effectively compete against incumbents," he adds.

Review Asia/Pacific Insurance: Attractive Dynamics in China and India / IDC Research:This Financial Insights study profiles the growth potential for the insurance sector in the emerging markets of China and India as acceleration in economic momentum and nascent industries, coupled with increased consumer risk awareness, paves the way for spectacular expansion. The document also discusses entry routes for foreign insurers into these two budding markets and provides suggestions for vendors serving the insurance space. Li-May Chew, CFA, senior research manager, Financial Insights Asia/Pacific, states, "With liberalization gathering pace, these markets offer unrivaled growth opportunities that no insurance player with global aspirations can afford to overlook. Foreign insurers that do not boast the vast distribution reach of incumbents should differentiate themselves with targeted, personalized distribution networks, innovative customized offerings, sophisticated product designs, and world-class customer service. Meanwhile, it is crucial for vendors to offer newer, more flexible IT service-oriented architectures; robust core processing systems, including agent-facing distribution technology; and document management, imaging, and issuing technologies.

Review Indonesia Banking Industry IT Spending 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Big Leaps Are Being Made / IDC Research:This Financial Insights study is based on interviews with bank executives of the 10 largest banks in Indonesia and provides IT spending levels and forecasts for IT spending up to 2009. It also discusses the areas in which significant spending is being made, indicating the directions to which IT capabilities will grow among the country's banks. In addition, this study gives insights on the main drivers of IT spending in the country. This study also discusses how, contrary to expectations, outsourcing is gaining momentum among banks in Indonesia. Michael Araneta, research manager for Financial Insights Asia/Pacific IT Benchmarking Practice cautions, "Indonesian banks may for now think of outsourcing as a way to manage staff cost, but expectations by banks have to be managed this early — for banks in markets like Indonesia, outsourcing may not cut staff cost as much, but some savings may be made in administration costs.
