“I have always thought that the best way to find out what is right and what is not right, what should be done and what should not be done, is not to give a sermon, but to talk and discuss, and out of discussion sometimes a little bit of truth comes out. “

—Nehru, Jawaharlal Indian statesman (1889-1964)

Purposeful discussion with the purpose of eventual action has long been viewed by the wisest of the wise as a process that results in better products or ideas than would have originally been conceived by one person.

This combined “effort of the minds” is often referred to as collaboration.

Technology as a Catalyst for Collaboration

Technology is the great advocate of collaboration since technology shrinks communication gaps and speeds essential communication.

Technology and Collaboration

For life science and high tech companies managing a quality system is one of the most essential, if not the most essential, aspect of product development and since the essence of managing a quality system lies in communication (i. e. documentation and training people to adhere to that documentation) collaboration capabilities should be one of the main features that a life science or high tech company implements within a quality system. A quality system with collaboration isn’t enough however. The ever developing element of technology must be included for better and faster collaboration.

Collaborative Technology for Quality Systems

The benefits of investing in collaborative technology for quality systems are many.

Listed below are just a few:

Benefit #1 of Collaborative Technology for a Quality System: Not just for People

Concepts of collaboration don’t just connect people. With technology, processes can also “collaborate” automatically. Take for example the many processes that make up a quality system:

• Deviations Identification

• Nonconformance Identification

• Customer Complaints Management

• CAPA (Corrective and Preventative Action)

• Internal Audits

• Equipment Calibration

• Change Control

• Employee Training

Many of these processes are currently handled sufficiently by life science and high tech companies but when information is transferred from one process to another, information has a tendency to get lost (communication gaps), delayed or even misinterpreted. With the right collaborative technology however, communication gaps shrink by automating process-to-process transitions (i. e. a customer complaint to a CAPA) and by allowing people to collaborate and confer as to whether process information is accurate. Misinterpreted information will also be less likely to occur if life science and high tech professionals search for a quality system that allows for the appropriate personnel to track process-to-process audit trails and approve those procedures when necessary.

Benefit #2: Documentation

The lifeblood of quality and compliance are the documents that control quality and compliance. In fact, it is often by documents that the FDA or any other regulatory organization will judge whether or not a life science company is adhering to a sound quality system. Life science and high tech professionals can search for an electronic quality system that will allow for the integration of document control. Document control systems (with collaborative features) can allow experts to collaborate together without meeting in the same physical location. A document control system can also provide version control, safety features, a centralized archive, web-based technology, reporting features and perhaps even additional features determined by a client’s URS (user requirement specifications) and by the software company’s ability to provide customized configuration.

Benefit #3: Saves People Time

Most importantly, the right quality system (with collaborative features) will save company employees time by providing document control, process connection features and the right kinds of services.

Conclusion

With collaboration catalyzed by technology, a life science company can more effectively manage a quality system.

If your children know more about technology and computers than you do, this message is for you. If your children or teenagers are nearby, now is the time to usher them out of the room because this is for your eyes only. If it’s not possible to read this in private right now, than be sure to bookmark this page and come back to it when you can read it without ‘inquiring minds’ hovering nearby. You’ll understand why in just a couple of minutes. Do your young children or teenagers know more about technology and computers than you do? Do you scratch your head in amazement and utter confusion when your children discuss the latest and greatest technological advances that you know nothing about? How about this: Do you really know what your children or teenagers are doing while they are online? If that in itself doesn’t concern or worry you, it should.

Advances in technology play an ever-increasing role in our lives today, with much of it being positive, and it will only increase in the future. While there are great potential benefits with technology and computers for learning and discovery, there is also tremendous opportunity for misuse. Parents may tell their children not to talk to strangers, not to open the door if they are home alone, and not to give out personal information to persons unknown. Parents often keep track of where their children are, who their friends are and where they live, etc. However, many parents do not understand or realize that this same attentiveness and supervision must include critical examination and supervision while their children and teenagers are online.

For almost decades now, humans have been battling the after effects of technology and development. Its impact on the environment has already begun to show up. Global Warming is one of the gravest dangers being faced by mankind today. This is one of the reasons why clean technology has become such an important part of development today.

Clean technology investing is a thing of the future, say venture capitalists. But what is clean technology?

Clean technology is any technology that uses raw materials like water, air and electricity more effectively and produces minimum toxic waste from it.

In simpler terms, it is technology that has a minimum impact on the environment and at the same time gives a much better output in terms of profit. It is also known as ‘cleantech’ in short. The applications of cleantech are many. For example, energy, water filtration, electrical vehicles etc.

What makes it lucrative for investors?

The growth of ‘cleantech’ in the last few years has been significant. While cleantech companies only represented about one percent of all American investments about 5 years ago, it has risen to almost 7 percent now. This number is set to further increase. Automation technologies that for energy management is set to rise to $5 billion in the next few years.

By the year 2012, the global wind energy market is estimated to touch $28 billion. The energy infrastructure in the US has been clearly underinvested and this has cost the US billions of dollars.

This is one of the sectors where cleantech has made massive inroads in. Similarly, the water sector is another area that is undergoing considerable development.

The growing number of attractive deals

In the last three to four years, there have been almost 500 investment transactions in Cleantech. The number of deals is set to rise even further. This is what makes it one of the best investment options ever.

With every passing month, it seems that more electronic devices are touted as being Bluetooth enabled. And, while many people are excited about the advent of its new products, others are left scratching their heads wondering, “What is Bluetooth?”Bluetooth mobile wireless technology has become one of the leading technologies for wireless communication worldwide. The reason it has become so popular around the globe, in just a few short years since its introduction, is because it allows phones, computers, PDAs and other electronic devices to easily communicate with the other enabled devices nearby. The range of its networking is limited to a short range of about 30 feet. This system has been designed with the intention of providing a secure and an inexpensive way to connect with and exchange information between other devices alike, all without the need of wires. What is Bluetooth technology mainly used for?

The Bluetooth mobile wireless technology has quickly become the standard for all wireless methods of communication. It can now be found integrated into the latest and most popular models of handheld computers, laptops, PDAs, printers and headsets, not to mention cellular phones. Manufacturers are finding more and more products to add the technology to, as the demand for this enhancement increases. In addition to the Bluetooth wireless phone models, which are probably the most prevalent type of devices on the market, you can now also find its headphones and speakers. It is expected that other Bluetooth wireless audio and video products will continue to be brought to the marketplace.

Technology equipment and software are very important for a business in today’s world. Technological or software equipment includes new computer system, routing software, safety equipment and so on. These types of equipment are generally very expensive and so the need for technology equipment and software financing arises. However most of the traditional lenders may not be ready to finance technological equipment or software. This is due to their inability to understand the purpose and type of this equipment. Therefore an expertise approach is required to understand the need for technological and software equipment. There are some genuine financing companies that offer help to acquire these types of equipment.

There are various categories of technology and software equipment. Therefore various options are allowed by financial institutions to get technology equipment and financing help. Audio visual equipment is one among them which includes cameras, sound equipment and so on. This equipment is really important for companies that specialize in audio video. Seeking the financial assistance of financing companies is required due to high price tags of this equipment.

Safety and security equipment is essential for certain companies. These types of equipment include metal detector, alarm equipment, closed circuit TV, digital video recording, motion detector, security gate, fire suppression and so on. These types are vitally important for maintaining the personal safety and security. Due to its highest price ranges, most of the companies could not afford to buy it. But technology equipment and software financing makes it possible for almost all companies to acquire safety and security equipment.

Telecommunication equipment helps in effective business communication. Thanks to these types of equipment, many companies are functioning properly without any communication gap. Latest telecommunication equipment is available now which helps in effective communication. Broadcasting equipment, multiplex equipment, telephone system, transmitting equipment etc are really important for a modern office. However their price ranges are extremely high making it impossible to afford for small and medium companies. Technology equipment and software financing is the only best option to meet all the essential requirements.

Computer hardware is essential for most of the companies. Since their prices come down, most of the companies can get it easily. The data storage equipment, server, work station, network etc are vitally important for any business in today’s world. But the computer hardware has undergone constant changes. When the existing hardware becomes old, you need to buy a new one. This situation calls for the help of technology equipment and software financing.

Software financing is required to acquire the latest software. The traditional lenders would not be willing to provide financial assistance to buy the software. However accounting software, ecommerce software, manufacturing software, CAD software etc are essential for the business operation of most of the companies. In fact, every company requires certain type of software. Some of the reliable financing companies recognize the need for software financing and they offer essential help.

Since there are no embarrassing procedures for getting the technology equipment and software financing help, any company can apply for the financial assistance from the valid financing company.

Water4Gas is a technology based on splitting water on board a vehicle, and using the resulting gases not to drive the vehicle – but only to boost the efficiency of its combustion.

It is a Do-It-Yourself technology, specifically designed for beginners with no special tools and very limited budgets. A working system can be built at home with basic hand tools for $20-$100, installed in minutes and removed in seconds.

No modifications to the engine, computer or fuel injection systems, so any backyard mechanic can install it easily.

The technology is age old, over 91 years. All we’ve done is raise it from the dead and develop a simple structure based on low cost hardware. Although there is a myriad of hydrogen generating designs out there, ours is the simplest and also the safest for the beginner. The electrolyzer, bubbler and water reservoir have all been combined into one super-simple device.

Another advantage is the employment of coiled/spiraled electrode WIRES – rather than flat plates or spiraled plates. The magnetic vortex created by the coil assists water splitting, so we don’t need as much power from the car’s electrical system, thus simplifying the system even further and lowering its cost.

Three major factors work together to cause water splitting: direct current flowing through the electrode wires to the water, the magnetic vortex created by the shape of the electrodes, and the vacuum provided by the engine itself.

The effects of this technology is lowered emissions and improved mileage, simply due to a MORE COMPLETE COMBUSTION. Today’s internal combustion engines suffer from poor efficiency of 20%-25%, as any mechanic will tell you; 75%-80% of the gasoline, instead of being converted to forward motion, is instead converted to pollution and carbon deposits (unburned fuel), as well as heat (global warming), vibration and noise (knocking/pinging).

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS OVERSIZED FUEL DROPLETS IN THE MIXTURE. The Hydrogen, being such a small particle, hits a droplet, cuts it into smaller droplets and attaches itself to the smaller droplets. Now the finer, hydrogen-enhanced mixture, is capable of burning more thoroughly.

On top of improved performance, the engine steam-cleans itself every day, and the resulting effect is smoother and quieter operation. One of our staff was shocked when she checked her engine oil and was sure that her oil ran totally out. Actually what happened was that while she was expecting dark brown, dirty oil, the oil was actually so transparent that she could not see it on the dip stick. Her 20-year-old car is as smooth now (with our device on) as it was when she bought it 17 years ago.

Another lady “complained” that she could not hear the engine running. . . but to her surprise the car was still moving along.

Our technology is not capable of running a car on water alone. Our aim is not to replace gasoline but to enhance it – and open the door and the mind to the possibilities of waterfuel technology. With correct fine tuning we can double the mileage, rendering a new energy balance: half gasoline, half water. Very little water is used, in an economy car it’s around 2700 miles per gallon of distilled water, together with 4-6 teaspoons of household baking soda as catalyst. We have demonstrated many times that the fuel consumption of a 4-stroke generator can also be cut in half with our technology.

Not all cars, loads and driving conditions will gain the same, obviously. For ethical reasons we do not build up expectations for more than 10%-50% improvement in fuel economy, however we are getting daily success stories from experimenters who are seeing gains of 80%-100% in various vehicles. For some, significant economy gains inflict a revelation that something can be done about it, while for others it’s a life changing factor.

We sell books that teach EVERYTHING about the technology and how to manufacture it, as well as sponsoring a f’ree marketplace where sellers and buyers of actual systems can find each other and trade without interference and without any fees paid to us. Like in the Golden Age of Greece – no police, very little government.

At the time of writing we have more than 3200 satisfied customers, over 400 registered independent manufacturers/installers, and an unknown number of affiliates promoting us all over the world. 85%-90% of our sales occur via affiliates, and more are joining due to the generous 50% commission rate and the skyrocketing popularity of the product and the technology.

All in all, Water4Gas has become a buzzword for practicality and affordability. Our policy is to guide the readers toward a mindset of an experimenter rather than a driver that takes things for granted. We teach them that something can be done about gas prices, pollution and global warming, and they gladly take an active role and help to spread the word.

At the time of writing the technology is only for gasoline and diesel cars and trucks. However many of our experimenters are working on adaptations to propane/LPG/CNG propelled vehicles, as well as boats and other applications such as stationary generators.

We’re getting daily requests from business people around the world, as well as inventors inspired by our success, requesting that we work with them to advance their goals and purposes. We help as much as we can, including bridging the gap between investors and inventors, as well as between inventors/developers seeking to complement their technologies with supporting ones (such as a bridge we’ve created between an English fuel cell and an American pure-hydrogen generator).

Thus Water4Gas has emerged and evolved in one year from a small home-based business to become a global junction for waterfuel technologies, inspiration and leadership.

Water for Gas Review

Many businesses on the East Coast decide to go with a Boston it service provider to audit, procure, build, secure and administrate their information technology. For cost efficiency and professional service in dealing with information technology consultant ,boston

Web designers who are trained in drupal technology will be able to help you modify the Drupal templates according to your requirement and ready your website according to your own desire.

The law of diminishing marginal returns

I recently had a bit of a debate with a technology consultant friend who knows I am big on content and detail within project planning and the contracts that support a technology deal.   We found ourselves talking about that principle of economics called the law of diminishing marginal returns.   His point was that for project owners who are in the midst of planning a new project—gathering requirements, fleshing out specifications, polling user preferences, etc. —the law of diminishing marginal returns sets in much earlier than they realize.   The resources spent during the initial planning stages produce some hefty returns.   But soon after, spending the same amount of resources again, and the next time after that, will produce smaller and smaller chunks of benefit.   When you are caught up in a planning process, it is often difficult to identify the point at which your cost-benefit curve has begun to flatten.

What my friend was saying seemed plausible, and because I did not have any evidence to the contrary, I just accepted his theory.   Then I thought of a possible consequence of his theory, and I said, “You’re not going to go out and start spreading this thought around the technology community, are you?”

Threatened evangelist

My fear was this.   Here was I, this evangelist of content and detail within every information technology project, and across the table was a fellow who could undermine the past and future progress of my mission by telling folks they actually need less planning and critical thinking for their technology projects and not more.    Project owners’ planning and thinking are, after all, what generate the content and detail I crave and have come to respect.

Well, we talked some more, and my friend added some clarification.   As it turns out, he was suggesting mainly that project owners not waste time and money planning what cannot be planned effectively at a particular point in time.  Made sense.   I was still squirming, but now a bit relieved.

Obvious example

You have decided to use a staged or iterative approach for your next project.   You will buy some off-the-shelf software and customize it a fair amount.   Phase 1 might involve extending a discrete element of existing functionality and then wiring up to a live database for some testing.

In this example, there is really no point to thinking through the details of Phases 2 through 5 or estimating costs within those phases, except in either case at a very high level, because:  1) unless Phase 1 is completed smoothly and with an acceptable cost, you will never get to the subsequent phases; and 2) you have not yet tested your assumptions about costing within Phase 1.   Indeed, you probably chose an iterative approach for this project because of your inability to plan your project effectively from start to finish.   

Less obvious examples

My friend and I talked some more, and we moved beyond the obvious examples, the ones that are easy to accept.   My natural reaction was to resist any further extension of his theory because I knew he would be cutting closer and closer to the bone, threatening the very foundation of my evangelist mission.   However, sitting before me was a bright person and a clear thinker, with nearly two decades of experience with technology.   I had to listen (nervously).   “When the student is ready to learn, the teacher will appear. ”    

Requirements gathering – A good thing, no doubt, and something the experts have been encouraging us to do more of over the last ten years.   “Insufficient requirements development cited as leading cause of project failure. ”  When it comes to requirements, we have been led to believe that more is not enough.   Surely there is a point at which more requirements are not helpful (and may even be detrimental), but the experts have not told us how to determine just when we have turned the corner.

Specifications development – Same story.   Develop specifications thoroughly now or risk project failure.   

User preferences – Same story.   Involve your users in your planning process.   Otherwise, “If you build it, they won’t come. ” 

We have heard so much preaching on these topics that each of us can rattle off a number of clichés for each topic.   The advice has been mostly good, but we are hammered with it by speaker after speaker, in article after article.

Reconciliation

As much as I resisted the flow of this discussion with my friend, I have to admit that what he was saying made perfect sense to me.   But now I had to find some way to reconcile two divergent concepts:  on the one hand, my long-held belief that more project planning and critical thinking should always be one’s aspiration, and on the other, my realization that you truly can have too much of a good thing.

Ultimately, I found the reconciliation I needed with just one insight.   It occurred to me that, with all of the speakers and literature out there telling us to engage in more best practices for our technology projects and more often, we have become conditioned to believe that more is not enough—in fact, because of the nature of the beast, more can never be enough.   We have been doing more and more, and the incremental improvements we have witnessed, together with the new articles we read, encourage us to keep doing more and more.   Of course, our intention is good, but when can we stop doing more?  When should we stop doing more?

It’s all relative

I think it all boils down to relativity—your relative sophistication as a technology buyer, and the relative nature of your particular project.   If you started heeding the experts’ advice many years ago, your approach to buying technology may be fairly sophisticated by now.   You may be doing an appropriate level of planning for your projects, and maybe you occasionally do too much.   Other organizations are just now opening their eyes to a better way, perhaps prompted by a recent problematic project.  

Second, when enough is enough depends on your particular project.   Your goal is to plan effectively and thoroughly for all aspects of your project, but be mindful that your present need or ability to plan certain elements may not yet exist.   Further, even if you have the present need and ability to plan a certain aspect of your project, do not overdo it.   For example, do not continue to add more and more requirements to your requirements basket as if quantity were your only goal.

On this last point, remind yourself that requirements, specifications, user preferences, and every other item on your project-planning list have at least one thing in common.   Once you have thought of them and cemented them into some spreadsheet, they have a way of hanging around for the duration of your planning process, and often through completion of your project.   Instead of waiting to whack some of these hangers-on toward the end of a phase or at the end of your project (“backward creep” of scope or deliverables), attempt to prioritize them at an early stage of your project.   You will not even open Requirements Container 2 until the high-priority requirements in Container 1 have been exhausted (satisfied or deliberately discarded).   A prioritization approach could save you time, dollars and other resources.

Conclusion

For many of us, it may be best not to let go of our conditioned response to project planning and critical thinking—not just yet anyway.   The conditioning represents an overall positive motivation, its underlying purpose is producing results, and our technology procurement process, including its planning element, may still have plenty of room for improvement.   The more sophisticated technology buyers among us might want to put the brakes on the conditioned response a bit.  

Regardless of what camp you are in (and until further notice from the experts!), be at least mindful of the fact that there is such a thing as too much project planning.   I, for one, am now a believer.
