10 Ways to Benefit even in this Slowdown

-

















Today’s volatile marketplace has
businesses in a fix. Companies are exploring all possible means to
bolster their wafer-thin margins. With
this background in mind, we have started an initiative (Control
Costs) that looks at how businesses can control costs without
cutting down on their technology budgets.









What's
the Control Cost Campaign?


The
Control Costs campaign is a 360-degree integrated campaign
that involves:



  1. A
    nation-wide Print campaign that has started from early
    December 2008. This will reach out to decision-makers through
    national general interest and business magazines like India Today
    and Business World. The campaign features testimonials from
    CXO-level functionaries of enterprise companies such as Star
    India, Lavasa, Lilliput, etc, on how Microsoft solutions have
    helped their business.
  2. A
    Television campaign     that explores the business dilemma of CFOs
    and highlights solutions from Microsoft.
  3. A dedicated Website portal www.controlcosts.com which describes 10
    solutions from Microsoft that businesses can use to control costs,
    and includes benefits, case studies, analysts quotes, and so on.
  4. Other
    campaign activities planned include:

    1. A Digital campaign that includes banners, eDMs and
      viral videos.
    2. PR activities with articles appearing in The Economic
      Times and coverage in TV shows on news channels.

The Difference between GET and POST

-
When the user enters information in a form and clicks Submit , there are two ways the information can be sent from the browser to the server: in the URL, or within the body of the HTTP request. The GET method, which was used in the example earlier, appends name/value pairs to the URL. Unfortunately, the length of a URL is limited, so this method only works if there are only a few parameters. The URL could be truncated if the form uses a large number of parameters, or if the parameters contain large amounts of data. Also, parameters passed on the URL are visible in the address field of the browsernot the best place for a password to be displayed. The alternative to the GET method is the POST method. This method packages the name/value pairs inside the body of the HTTP request, which makes for a cleaner URL and imposes no size limitations on the forms output. It is also more secure. ASP makes it simple to retrieve name/value pairs. If the forms output is passed after the question mark (?
