The pilot project has been successfully carried out at the Lucknow and Delhi airports and the system has found tremendous acceptance with the Air Traffic Controllers and Pilots in particular and ground staff in general. Additional feature of the product is it's interfacing to an answering machine wherein the ground staff is able to monitor the current DATIS broadcast over a telephone.

BARISTA GROWS SMARTER

"Trust Barista to do things with panache,

Be it for being pioneers in launching Smart card based Loyalty programme or getting the chip side on the reverse of the card layout, Barista is different", says Vikas Jain, Country Manager at Micromax. "Working with Barista has always been a desire, their professional ethics, dealing with the vendor, everything has been so perfect, that it never felt like working for a client, it was more of a self-project".

Barista launched their Smart card campaign in Bangalore in the month of April'03. Started with a test market of Bangalore, the programme has given immense confidence to the management that plans are already midway in getting the programme national. "More cities are in pipeline, so better watch out", cautioned Basav Mukherjee, Head Sales, Barista Coffee Company Ltd. The programme has been a virtual sell out and they are very excited about the same. The membership to the programme is on a non-chargeable basis and immediate dividends are provided to the enrolled members by extending the length of the rupee for them. Members tend to get upto 20% more shopping power for becoming members to the programme. The programme is different in the sense that the card is provided to the enrolling member across the counter, "a hassle free experience is what they have tried to provide their customers with", commented Mr. Mukherjee. Recharge entitles the members to additional benefits, over and above the enrolling ones.

Smart cards have always been on the shopping basket of corporate world looking to launch loyalty programmes because of their non-dependence on connectivity issues. They have proved to be major hit with companies overseas and with the government of India taking keen interest in Smart Card based National ID programme, the confidence level was much higher for implementing the same in India too. Fewer corporate have though dared to take the lead and set an example for Smart implementations but whoever have dared have got a sounding pat on their back for the results they have obtained.

MMX EQUIPS AIRPORT AUTHORITY WITH THEIR IVRS SOLUTION

Organisations like Civil Aviation Department, Fire Management Department face the prospect of handling emergency situations, which might demand a cool-headed problem solving approach seldom found wanting at alarming situations like a plane hijack or any similar contingency. .

Micromax has developed the Emergency Communication Dispatcher (ECD®) to handle contingency information disbursal. This first computerized information management software for personal computers helps corporations and governments respond to unexpected events and emergency incidents. Developed in late 2001, the software has quickly emerged as the de facto standard for state and local government emergency management (specially in Aviation industry), and now is being used by different aviation corporations in India.

ECD® brings analytical tools and data sources, educational materials and training, emergency management procedures, real-time event data, from around the organization to the desktop. It handles the emergency like nobody else does. It automates the process to reach out to the concerned, relay the complete emergency as well as carry back with itself the comments of the contacted, all in as low as 1 minute 20 seconds. That means that in one hour you can touch about 90 people with a twin-connectivity license and about 180 people with a four-connectivity license. It not only helps you in smooth conduction of the emergency fighting exercise, it allows you to THINK during the emergency, a trait acknowledged by all leading psychology experts to be essential during emergency handling

SMART IS IN!! MIL, the software arm of Micromax has launched their technology initiative to deal with the smarter aspects of life. L-Max, S-Max, MaxSmart Lifeline, MaxSmart Speed, MaxSmart Personnel, MaxSmart Campus, MaxSmart NetCAfe are some of the solutions aimed at enhancing the pleasures of life. "Technology must be used to drive convenience in their lifestyles", is the working motto for the technical managers managing the division.

With applications like loyalty, e-purse, identity and access control, MIL is ready to address to retail, manufacturing, travel and hospitality with its CRM Solutions. The solutions are aimed to provide the much-needed peep into consumer behavioral practices and to study consumer-spending pattern.

The company is also focusing on the recently opened Insurance and healthcare sectors with its solution, which would provide hassle free, and cash free settlement to the consumers.

MIL's R&D has successfully developed indigenous Hand held Smart Cards Terminals apt for all type of applications. The tremendous cost advantage given to the client has ensured that the terminals have not gone un-noticed and have already made an impression in the highly competitive market. The terminals are designed to showcase all possible functionalities; vis-à-vis data transfer through PSTN network and also a detachable printer. The same have found wide-acceptance in untapped segments like Micro-Finance, Toll Collection, etc.


MICROMAX DELIVERS AGAIN !!!!


Come September and MIL shall be handing over yet another project to the Indian government. "Though the client gave us a time of 10 weeks, the techy guys were able to achieve the milestone in just 8 weeks and that too to the complete satisfaction of the client" said Sunil Joon, Project Manager at Micromax.

National Productivity Council of India and Micromax laboured together towards realization of the efforts of NPC to initialise an online Waste Minimisation Circle for its different facilitators and subscribers. These members are spread all across the nation and to get them together there could not have been a better solution that an online platform, suggested NPC.

Micromax was instrumental in providing a robust architecture to NPC in which they have the option to interact with their facilitators, portraying their achievements, online education for members(e-learning solution), comprehensive and latest e-enabled training manuals available for downloads. The application provides an excellent interactive platform for like minded facilitators to discuss and probe their thoughts and ideas through the Discussion Forum whereas the query section helps in getting answers to the queries realted to WMC activities.

The aplication promises true scalability and the option of regular updates is handled through user friendly forms designed keeping in mind the strength of the client. An earnest attempt has been made to replicate the forms in use, so much so that updation can now be easily handled by the client himself, though MIL has got the contract for the Annual Maintenance too but it is always easier to educate the client to self-understand the updations, remarked Sunil.

After implementing this solution they envisage immense interest in the facilitators towards WMC, infact the product received tremendous accolades when launched in the presence of the facilitators, remarked a top ranking official at NPC.

NETWORKING OF YAMUNA ACTION PLAN TOWNS THROUGH INTERNET APPLICATION


Micromax began its relationship with Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) project in September'2001 by taking on the ominous task of providing an online project management system for Project Scheduling, Investment and Monitoring. Managing ongoing project investments in addition to tracking expected revenue was crucial to the YAP consultants TEC-DCL; as was the scheduling and controlling activities, which were not centrally focused to achieve the best possible implementation results.

In spite of non-standardized reporting system, involvement of diversified agencies as Implementers and too many project associates; Micromax technical managers confidently came across with a project management approach to bolster the bottom line.

Micromax came up with a Project Management solution providing TEC-DCL with effective strategies and mechanisms for tracking estimated capital costs and consumable budgets and time-phase across the life of the projects being implemented under various schemes of Yamuna Action Plan. In short this was one online project management solution, which was being sought by TEC-DCL. "They have been extremely satisfied by the intent of involvement from Micromax towards providing us the right solution" says Dr Lalit Aggarwal, Resident Representative, TEC-DCL.

"It was challenging working on a government assignment that involved multiple Implementers spread across complete North India and they are glad that as promised they were able to achieve total customer satisfaction" remarked Sunil Joon, Project Manager, Micromax. As expected the solution promises quality and has been on time, on budget and with the promised functionalities.
