So where is the next big idea coming to recreate the magic phenomena that would be the most sought after in the internet Industry. To have a glance about this lets read history of the IT industry.

Apple rocks while Microsoft shocks!!!

admin — Mon, 31 May 2010 06:21:40 +0000

The classical story of Mahabharata seems to be enacted on a larger picture in the technology and business space. With the recent elevation of apple to a higher picture of a technology company that is larger than life over microsoft one can observe that history always repeats.

Apple which pioneered technology during late 80′s and 90s was on the verge of bankruptcy went ahead to become a leading IT company with the invention of ipods, iphones and other hand held gizmos and has started leading the revolution thus beating its former foe microsoft on a bigger note.

According to economictimes .Shares of Apple marginally rose to USD 254.21 in early trade, resulting in a market capitalisation of USD 231.30 billion whereas Microsoft dropped nearly one per cent to USD 25.74 and at that price, the company’s valuation was at USD 225.58 billion. Apple has started a revolution on its own

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 03:29:37 +0000

Well, Well What do we have nowadays, Large Hardware firms gobbling IT services firms across the world, We would have heard about the HP-EDS deal of 13.2 Billion US dollars that had sent waves in the IT services segment. The latest mover and packers for today is Dell acquiring Perot Systems for 3.9 Billion US Dollars. A much sought after deal during the recession time it may trigger a string of acquisition and mergers in the coming quarters. Perot Systems which was more into IT services like application development, System Integration. Dell the direct-2-customer sales model company which pioneered the customized computer to the customer was facing loosing revenue to its life time rival HP which was aggressive in the market in the past 8 quarters. However much needs to be seen as this transition would lead to better valuation in the industry.

According to Economictimes.com Dell is to acquire Perot Systems for 3.9 Billion US Dollars. The transaction is to completed by November – January quarter.The company’s shares fell 79 cents, or 4.7 percent, to $15.90 in premarket trading, while Perot’s stock shot up $11.79, or 66 percent, to $29.70.

What is this for the Indian IT firms and their peers in this country needs to be seen as India is said to be emerging as the second point of IT revolution for the World. As the great saying “Time and Tide” don’t wait for anyone. The first movers have the instinct and killer advantage over their rivals.
