The companies are seeking new solutions to increase their competitiveness. To do so, with intent to reduce costs and encourage the work of the staff, managers most often use the ‘outsourcing’ or outsourcing. Although we can say that this is not an innovation, the truth is that this practice is expected to experience strong growth over the next two years in Spain. First there were some jobs in the department of administration, after the technological and computer and now the trend reaches the personnel department.

To date, the markets are more advanced in ‘outsourcing’ of human resources are the Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians, where for many years began this process, which today is already well developed. Now, outsourcing the work of this department in Spain begins to set in, partly motivated by the financial crisis affecting markets, but especially because many of the national companies have reached a point of maturity and ‘managing’ in receiving the benefits of an action like this.

According to a study by the trade publication ‘The Economist Intelligence Unit’, 17% of European enterprises have fully outsourced HR function. 31% have done with the recruitment, training and payroll, and another 18% expect to commission these activities in the coming years. In the case of Spain, according to figures provided by IDC, nearly 20% of companies with between 1,000 and 5,000 employees will be outsourced payroll management over the next two years, compared with 9% that it currently does. A projected endorsing another research firm Mercer Consulting, which shows that nearly two out of ten heads of HR in Spain “want to change the way of doing things,” as they have realized that 71% of their working time is to undertake operational only generate added value.
Functional improvement

For Pierre Paradis, general director for Spain and Latin America at the company HR Access and invited last week to the day ‘HR Outsourcing: cost reduction and value creation’ of the DPA, “this method ensures the highest levels of quality management , a functional improvement, reorganization of processes to make them more efficient and consequently the company gains an increased focus on business, business results and benefits. ”

This is an outside company to instruct the implementation of more functional tasks and concentrate all efforts on being competent in the ‘core’ [mainstay] of the business. Therefore, it is normal that the process begins with the administrative, payroll, department usually remove much of his time and that adds value.

The release of the purely administrative work of the department will cause these professionals invest the time to adapt to new technologies and allow them to concentrate on business purpose. At present, the human resources sector is undergoing a relentless process of renewal. According to a report by Saratoga Institute, dedicated to the observation of best practices in this area, a large number of tasks performed in this department are transactions, ie, only 10% of the activity adds value. “In this context, the ‘outsourcing’ emerges as an alternative that allows these sections to delegate administrative matters in a specialist provider. The role of human resources professionals and will be the manager of processes and applications manager and coordinator of special services providers, “says Paradis.

But when you start an action like this, the company must consider certain factors. It is important to have the support of the main departments involved, to assess what the costs and quality of the company and how will that outsourcing savings and calculate how much you can improve the service and what impact it will have on employees. Finally, the company has to establish control parameters, financial guarantees and experience to choose the best provider thoroughly.

In Spain, the companies providing outsourcing services do not always have an offer mature and often have not invested in our infrastructure, “Some are consultants who do not have their own technology, others provide services ‘outsourcing’ but when the contract ends The client is left with nothing … It is not the case of HR Access, where we have invested millions of euros in Spain and in technology and R & D, also offer outsourcing and contract when it ends we reversibility (a unique concept of signature ) that allows you to reinstall the application developed so as not to miss anything done. “

For all those who stood by bouncing into the street because your computer is outdated, slow as a turtle, and so on., Comes the solution they were expecting: Windows versions edited for older machines running XP with amazing speed. With this guide you will learn all the basics you need to know about these SO “cut” so you can revive your old PC without dying in the attempt. Hands On!

The computer of my girlfriend was a pileup unusable. He bought it in year 90 and peak, equivalent to a Celeron Pentium II, brand (ie, incompatible even with itself), which barely withstood the installation of 128 MB of RAM, a 20GB and HD Worst of all, the horrific version of Windows 2000 that is neither fish nor fowl, and reached the year 2007 full of spam, spyware, etc.. and takes half an hour to open Word. So when the on or off, you could have lunch and dinner as it lit up while Windows shuts down.

A Celeron similar to my girlfriend …

Concerned about remedying this situation I decided to investigate on the Windows “cut”, I had read about them on the network, knew they were versions of the OS (usually Win XP SP2) modified by people “know” so they take almost no memory and run at an incredible speed machines even in “old ladies” and outdated.

Actually it is not difficult to understand how these versions makes it to “cut” of Windows. What consumes the largest amount of memory in Windows are processes that, while some use them, we must accept that they are more for the common user. Network services mostly occupy all the resources of a machine and cause Windows to become very heavy (and this is where it loses to other OS), it becomes slow at times, the famous “hang”, etc.., cause all sorts of problems for users.

Trimmed versions of Windows are installed in about half an hour, automatically running on any PC with minimal memory.

If we compare, Windows XP uses least 64 MB (just to install), and 256 MB to run smoothly.

Now they can laugh, cut one version (we shall see how in depth) requires only 32 MB of RAM. That’s right. 32 against 64 to 256. A real data.

In this picture you can see the comparison of XP “normal” against a shortened version.

I’m not saying that having a PC next generation switch to a shortened version, but is an excellent solution to rescue that computer that were thrown away and can now run XP as if it were Win 98 (including the improving the appearance, do not tell me not care about such things).

Windows “neglected”

They are called this way because not require any user action to install more than touch of a button or a click. No “next”, “accept the contract,” and so on.

There are several versions, since they are modifications made by users and are in no way endorsed or distributed by Microsoft. It is up to the fact each install, but can try and see the difference.

The most popular versions are 3:

* Suricata OS – Mongoose Edition: It may sound funny or strange name, is a very solid version, uses the above 32 MB and properly installed can make a piece of scrap look like a Pentium 4 HT.

* Windows UE7: This is one of the most praised versions, the most neglected of all, although it has a flaw: it consumes more memory than the Suricata OS.

* Windows Angelical 4.5: This is a new version that has become very popular, it also consumes more resources than the Suricata OS, but not as much as Windows UE7, although it is so neglected as this.

For those who already are salivating with the idea of running XP on your pileup, here are the tips and recommendations:

* Make a backup of the Hardware Drivers on your PC (it does DriverMax automatically, for example). After installing the new Windows XP cut, you can reinstall the drivers for everything running smoothly.
* Save the files you want to keep, is unlikely to be erased, but better safe than sorry.
* Please note that there will be some services such as Internet or connect to printers that are disabled by default. They are activated from the Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services. (Click here for a guide on how to). If you do not use internet on PC or printer, you need not configure anything.

Installing a Windows unattended:

1. First you download any of the shortened version, just search Google for “Suricata OS”, “Windows Unattended”, etc..
2. Once you get off everything, unzip the files with WinRar or WinZip and guards in a folder.
3. Copy everything to a CD with a program like Nero, but not in the traditional manner, but as a disk image file. “Iso” just down.
4. Done! Just place the copied disc in the CD drive and restart Windows. Rebooting the system will boot from the CD, and prompts you to install the new OS. Once we accept is all done automatically.

To be clear, my recommendation is the Suricata OS – Mongoose Edition. Why? It is the only chance I had to prove in depth (the PC of my girlfriend now flies, it’s safer and runs all the programs she wanted, like photoshop, Messenger, Office, etc).

The requirements are:
P1 166Mhz
32MB RAM
Video 2MB (8MB for transparencies)
700MB disk (we can run the applications from CD)

Nevertheless they should try the other options are as recommended by the users of the network.

This is a screenshot of Suricata OS:

And this screenshot is from Windows UE7:

Finally, for the most restless, I commented that the program that lets you go disabling the parties “heavy” Windows is the nLite, I leave a few links to the nLite manual, a tutorial of how to use it and another on how to create your own version of Windows XP cut (see the bottom of the note).

I hope I have worked with all those who sought a solution to the problem of outdated machines not hesitate to send all your questions and comments!

Microsoft and Yahoo have announced today an agreement for 10 years to join their search and advertising, in an attempt to challenge Google. Microsoft provides search technology and Yahoo management of advertising associated with them. Yahoo! incorporate the search engine Bing and arrange exclusive and global advertising partnership. This agreement ends after the failure of Microsoft attempted to buy the rival company in the field of search by 45,500 million dollars.

Steve Ballmer, CEO of software manufacturer, tried to persuade skeptical investors that the partnership in internet searches for 10 years is good for both companies . Shares of the Internet media company Yahoo! fell 12% Wednesday after it announced a long-awaited agreement, and fell another 3% on Thursday.
Shares of Microsoft rose slightly confused to what the company CEO, Steve Ballmer.
“I am somewhat surprised by the reaction of the market,” Ballmer said at a meeting with financial analysts at Microsoft’s headquarters near Seattle. “Nobody understands it. It’s a little complicated,” he added.
Under the agreement, which aims to create strong competitor to deal with Internet leader Google, the search engine of Microsoft, Bing, administered in consultation sites Yahoo! Microsoft will pay Yahoo! 88% of the revenue generated by ads from those sites.

In theory, this means that Microsoft gets more traffic to refine its search technology and increase its base of advertising, while Yahoo! advertising revenues for the search without the expense of managing their own search engine.
The agreement seems to conclude a long saga between the companies, after which Yahoo! rejected a takeover bid from Microsoft by $ s47.500 million last year.
“Nothing was sold yesterday and nothing was bought yesterday (Wednesday),” Ballmer said at the meeting in an attempt to explain the agreement. “It’s a win-win from my perspective,” he added.
The involvement of Yahoo! in the search-advertising revenue is a “large number” because the company will not have to spend money to get the revenue, said Ballmer.
For Microsoft, said the agreement means that you get more traffic, allowing you to refine your search technologies, which could lead to an increased interest from buyers of advertising and therefore better prices for notice.
“The more questions being put to more product. On a larger scale, more advertisers will be announced in the system, and make your most important alerts to users,” said Ballmer.
“Because we have more suppliers to our advertising space, we get higher prices, probably, more liquidity in the market. This will improve monetization,” he added.

The odd thing is that, as I read in ALT1040, the shares of Yahoo! fell after the announcement by 12% and then another 3%. Honestly I am not sad to read that the shares have fallen and I do not bother to read that most users are dissatisfied with this treatment. What do you think?
