Softwares-Supplier

Jinshan WPS Office 2005 imitation scholar had just fallen the curtain, as the Pacific Ocean SUN also in the new version of StarOffice also dozen have a compatible banner. Quoted silicon valley power the improvement and Office compatibility software Sun improve market share "are reported, the new StarOffice strive to improve the and Microsoft Office series of compatibility, allows users to import, export Office documents and the macro and use Office. Also live in Microsoft Office monopoly of the shadow of golden hill and SUN, coincidentally use the "compatible" countermeasures, is worth thinking.

From jinshan and SUN two companies in the presence of the media statement analysis, catering to the needs of the clients is they take "compatibility" is the main reason for the strategy. Indeed, the ordinary employees for Microsoft products and rely on the upper of the habitual save operation cost considerations are decided to the company to office software compatibility for the high demand. Software enterprise for compatibility problems on the strengthening of the special and understandable. But, for a software for the enterprise, and just rely on compatibility, "dead to tie" industry of the strong practice really feasible?

Perhaps, rely on and the depth of the Office and relatively cheap price of compatible, jinshan and SUN can at least in enterprise Office software market the equation. But, march enterprise office software market absolutely not only depend on low price can get long-term success. The relative LaoLa for Microsoft, jinshan and SUN two public relations ability and provide technical support for an enterprise users of the service are obvious soft rib. And, in the pirate across, "compatible + low price" strategy for ordinary users do not very please desktop.

Making people more sigh, originally "compatible" strategy, because execution too completely, and even became more and more like a heavy. Engaged in the Office software development of the manufacturers seldom no blame Microsoft Office series of monopoly position, but in a certain way, they to mimic the Office today, is not is also to Microsoft Office monopoly power of a hoax? You know, the biggest damage just depends on monopoly industry innovation ability and the obliteration deprived of users to select the right. Looking at a Microsoft Office "copy", recalled the copy producers to Microsoft monopoly righteousness is YanCi claims, the author of the deep irony was only……

Linux’s mistakes have explanation: fastening on "compatible", and then to the strong industry to follow suit, and is not a monopoly in the shadow of the break out of an ideal choice. Remember offering Linux camp in order to reverse the decline in the desktop market, once emerge a number of red flag to Linux as a representative of and Windows interface and the basic operation highly similar version, expected to attract the original Windows users seamless transfer to Linux platform. However, piracy, the spread of hardware manufacturers of negative, the lack of application software, make Linux desktop market expansion in the journey always depressed. Real let Linux relatively cheap, safe characteristic puts glorious greatly still is the server market.

Talking about this, the author can not help but think of Keso and WangJianShuo about whether should break "user habits" argument. About the argument, perhaps everyone of you have opinions differ from each other’s views. But I’m afraid that no one denies a basic point of view-people who are in the habit of can be changed. Indeed, such as WangJianShuo analysis it, break the user may be used to artificially for product marketing put up a barrier. But also as Keso said, "go back 30 years, the Chinese did not watch TV habit; 20 years back, the Chinese did not cell phone habit; back 10 years, the Chinese did not Internet habits", in a break with the original habits are likely to appear after is attractive business opportunities.

Remember a net friend in the message of once wrote, "I use kingsoft, because it is China’s". My personal very admire his patriotic feelings. But I believe most of the choice before WPS user not only because it is the "China" and more because it is suitable for Chinese use. However, in the depth of the compatibility and Office 2003 WPS2005, and can find much of "China" trace? The same problem occurs in free software StarOffice born out of the body, the commercial pressure forced to and Office after compatible, can reserve how much free software interface simple, close to the user features of the practice is still a mystery.

"The biggest must not is one of the strongest". No one would deny that Microsoft software field in absolute dominance, but I’m afraid that no one would be so think Microsoft rolls out every software are similar software the best of the best? Firefox have never deliberately impersonate IE, but this does not affect its popular. "Monopoly" absolutely not blindly emphasize "compatible" and even "copying" excuse. If the software manufacturers are not able to forge ahead, so I’m afraid can only while complaining about the monopoly in Microsoft, side in the imitation products monopoly mire deeper……

Microsoft is my favorite IT company, in Google out before. But Microsoft as if suddenly old, this ever go to town, once invincible, once all the rules of both rewrite Microsoft, seems to be a behavior overnight sedate and do not break dignified middle-aged, like Bill Gates to our impression. Last month 23 is Microsoft’s 30 years old of birthday, the media are mostly use "midlife crisis" such wording, to report the Microsoft 30. Microsoft to her birthday congratulations is Going Beyond, don’t know is spurring yourself or mutual encouragement.

Microsoft is a great company, is a rewritten the human civilization development process of the company. Microsoft’s birthday I didn’t visit Microsoft web site, go today visited the birthday of page, or a little touch. In this page, Microsoft provides about Microsoft word 50 history and the detail of the small topic, a very sad, I only got the right answer 28 way, don’t pass the exam. From these questions, I learned that:

Microsoft’s second year end, the company only 6 employee, and today, Microsoft has 60000 staff, Windows operating system is running in the world’s 600 million PCS, Microsoft in more than 60 countries have their offices. Windows 95 issued the first week sold a total of 7 million set, international income accounts for 32% of all income Microsoft, Microsoft employees internal emails sent every day number for 3 million seal, Microsoft’s free bus every day with 8500 employees, manufacturers and the contractor transport each year, more than 500000 people visit Microsoft headquarters, Microsoft founder of consumption fell 42 million cans of drink, each Microsoft employees in a drink down an average 84 cans of drink, Microsoft in the cafeteria of the most popular food is pizza (Yeah!) , every weekend in Seattle Microsoft on loan to 650 cars, Microsoft’s most young employee only 18 years old, the oldest staff has 74-years-old, Microsoft email servers to filter out every day 8.5 million junk e-mails, 2005 Microsoft in the global new hired about 4400 employees, in the past 30 years Microsoft partners with 640000 list.

Microsoft Looking Back, it is to can Looking Beyond, middle-aged Microsoft to "continue to surpass" has a strong desire for. Although Microsoft still good enough, but times have changed. So far this year on June 30, Google global number of employees is only 4183 people, even worse than Microsoft in one year for new more employees. This situation is a bit like Microsoft in small size beyond big IBM, now the market value of the IBM only Microsoft half, slightly higher than Google. Microsoft pass the hardware for the king’s era, started the desktop for the king’s time, but now it may have to seriously face a new Web for the king’s era, and the new throne of Google coveted.

Microsoft has issued a software engineer/project manager advertisement, required candidates to ascend in Windows Phone graphical interface system plays a key role, because the graphical interface is very popular in the market the core content of the user experience.

The project manager will be responsible for driving the Windows Phone operating system graphics API development process, in order to meet the next generation of Windows Phone user experience and application platform needs.

Before this generation has its critics of Windows Phone not strong enough to support high quality graphics subsystem of the game, hope this action can in some ways to improve the situation.

Microsoft plans in China to establish a new research and development center. The Microsoft advanced technology in Beijing center will serve as a Microsoft in China and Asia investment hub. The new center is located in Beijing, will focus on Microsoft online services, including Bing, Adcenter and MSN, the new center will create hundreds of jobs in Beijing. Earlier, Microsoft has been in Beijing opened a research and development center; New technology center will bring together Asia search technology center (STCA) and research and development center.

New technology center will follow Microsoft to China’s promise: earlier this year, the software giant with Chinese search engine baidu announced a search deal, Microsoft’s Bing search engine will provide for baidu search results page in English. Baidu and Microsoft in 2006 a similar strategy partner relations. An agreement in around the baidu paid search list, let them appear in Chinese version of Microsoft web site such as MSN and Live the search results page.

August Microsoft also announced plans to develop software with CS2C cloud. The two companies have signed a joint agreement, will witness a promotion, marketing, and sales in China cloud solutions. Microsoft and CS2C will be provided based on Microsoft Hyper-v open architecture of private and public clouds cloud computing clouds of product China is a growing market. Gartner said in early 2011, is expected to Asia in 2011 will be in the CIO cloud technology research budget increase investment.

Generally speaking, the enterprise bad management, reduce cost and merger &reorganization is cut happened three main reasons. Lenovo big layoffs last year is the strategic readjustment results. Lenovo regression PC industry, to the original investment business such as the high performance server, IT service is cut down, workers also can only be cutting. Siemens mobile business be cut, fuse is benq acquisition Siemens mobile department, underlying reason is the Siemens mobile long-term huge losses.

A domestic famous IT company the human resources director HuangXiaoPing analysis said, according to the goal of redundancy and jobs can be divided into three types: jobs, economy, jobs structural optimization of job cuts. The business of the company is structural downsizing direction changes, for example business direction adjustment, a department was cut off, the original people will have to go. Economic employee refers to companies in order to reduce the cost. Optimization sex refers to eliminate jobs redundant personnel, improve the working efficiency of the personnel.

In fact, not only in the business world exist layoffs, before a few years of national office downsizing to improve efficiency, army streamlined, can be regarded as a "downsizing". From the situation at that time see, the authorities downsizing to improve efficiency is already "RuJianZaiXian", have to carry on. In a few years the state organ’s operating efficiency, to a certain extent layoffs broke on the big-pot roce traditional, improve the authority of the army and production capacity.

How to get rid of "be cut" fate?

"Fall in love each other as, perhaps not. But think about who first dumped, in the mind all funny." A staff so describe after downsizing of mind.

"The lifelong service a company an anachronism." HuangXiaoPing said, to job cuts, the staff should have a relatively gentle state of mind. In order to avoid one day be "wipe out", she suggested that employees should cultivate a lifelong "employment ability". In the organization is training its own core competitive ability and an alternative.

"Our company in recent years have also been some adjustment, why some people always have the position, some people have to leave? The boss is no fool. If who all make uncertain things, you can do the trick, boss will never let a man of value to leave." HuangXiaoPing think, between the enterprise and the staff is "two-way choice". If the employee has not instead of sex, is the employee may in turn "fire company".

In July this year new employees into company training class, HuangXiaoPing for new staff speak association of the company is not "house of this case. Huang director frank said, sometimes more confused, on the one hand, hope employees have the hero spirit of their own, with the fate of the fate of the company together. On the other hand, don’t want employees to think that a company has to "tube staff everything."

At last she said with new employees, the company is still employees "home". The "home" have two layer interpretation:, one can give employees with some security, two means employees must have "responsibility and value."

"Employees for personal accumulation in capital and resources at the same time, should create value for enterprises. The individual goals and objectives are combined together. If one side wins side loses imbalance of the results, not the company fired is staff was laid." HuangXiaoPing said.

A human resources magazine had the survey, most of the CEO and executives that so-called key staff, is to be able to continue for enterprise development to create value for employees. At the same time, is considered the most of no value to the staff, is to have been made for the enterprise value of the employees.

Xu is old IT people, experience too many companies of job cuts. He said China’s employees in jobs to keep the "professional mentality" will avoid being hurt. The so-called professional refers to "professional + dedicated". Major, with the ability to post requirement; Professional, refers to rationally treat work, too lazy and passion is also not rational.
