Year in Review 2010 - Experiences the Nuremberg photographers



New Year's Eve is within reach - time for our annual Year in Review. And now we dare to write to the already almost impossible ... one years better than the previous one - is it true But! 2010 was a sensational year for us. With much joy, positive changes, new customer orders, exciting and very few downsides - in this we will, however, received the sake of completeness, and later to leave a round image and report not only on the pink world.

Let's start with probably the most important achievement in 2010 ... the new website! 2 years, we were tinkering with the, sort images, customize layout and and and .... now is our new online Interneteite since November. A very hard piece of work that has paid off.
The response to the new site is 95% positive and the number of requests since the "go-live" has risen steadily. The only criticism ... the site was too sober, too unemotional. This point we will keep an eye on in the coming months and are still grateful for constructive feedback to GGFL. Make improvements. But we are excited about the new site and very proud of what we and a lot more Mel and Joachim have since created.

The order situation was overwhelming right from the beginning. We have never seen so many events, concerts and press conference to accompany as in 2010. And in the retail sector, we have increased significantly. The number of high-quality application images that we have made for customers flies, again, couple shoots were very popular and came just before Christmas noch viele Aktaufnahmen im Fotostudio hinzu.

In Summe hatten wir 2 Perioden, in denen wir im Prinzip unter Dauerstress fast schon "leiden" mussten: April bis August waren durchweg mit Hochzeitsreportagen, Konzerten und Festivals sowie Events belegt. Ab Mitte November kündigte sich dann langsam aber dafür um so intensiver das Weihnachtsgeschäft an. Familienportraits, Paarshootings, Akt und Portrait waren der Renner - wohlgemerkt parallel zu den "regulären" Aufträgen.

Einen zusätzlichen potentiell wichtigen Kunden konnten wir recht spät in 2010 akquirieren: Die Congress- und Tourismus-Zentrale Nürnberg hatte uns nach einigen Gespräch mit Werbeaufnahmen des Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt beauftragt - So we were happily engaged in December neat (especially to organize, the right weather, which of course was part of the assignment, was difficult - we had to provide a lot of snow,-D).

While we're on the subject of customers, we would like to mention the team bank AG - since 2009 our biggest and most important client. And the jobs that we could do in 2010 for the Nuremberg Bank, will be hard to beat in the coming years is difficult. From Werbaufnahnahmen, event photography, Castings, aerial photography press events (eg the AGM) to many portraits and "special orders" was alles dabei, was uns nicht nur ungemein Spaß gemacht hat, sondern auch bei unserem Kunden sehr gut angekommen ist. Highlight war das Mitarbeiterfest im Juni, das Hanna und Steffen wohl nie vergessen werden.

Toll war ebenso zu sehen, wie das komplette Public Viewing des Kennametal Kick and Groove Park 2010 mit unseren Bildern beworben wurde, die 2008 zu dem gleichen Event bei der EM (hauptsächlich auf dem Kornmarkt in Nürnberg) entstanden sind und in der Stadt nicht zu übersehen waren.

Toll war auch, wie unsere Luftbilder eingeschlagen sind. Steffen hatte auf eigene Faust und ohne konkreten Auftrag im Juni Luftaufnahmen von Rock im Park angefertigt, und war zunächst sehr enttäuscht von der nicht vorhandenen Resonanz or the sale of the pictures, although all were great but no one bought. This entertaining disappointment vanished shortly dannach as several requests arriving at aerial photographs in the Nuremberg region, and even stock images brisk sales and buyers found - a new field of photography for us, that we will expand but steadily in 2011 and intensified since the success is given here. Less

great, and now we come to the above mentioned drawbacks, was the number of problems for copyright infringement and payment performance of individual industrial clients. Problems that have cost us a lot of nerves and sleepless nights and often anger also had the effect, especially Steffen. Meanwhile, wohl weithin bekannt, dass es illegal ist, Software zu kopieren, Musik (ohne Bezahlung) aus dem Internet zu laden oder DVD's zu kopieren - bei Bildern und Fotos steckt dieses Verständnis leider immer noch in den Kinderschuhen und so hatten wir in 2010 leider in diesem Bereich so viel (unnötigen) Ärger wie noch nie zuvor.

Einige Probleme konnten wir durch Kommunikation mit unseren "Kunden" direkt klären - 2011, soviel steht leider schon fest, wird aber wohl zum Rekordjahr werden, was gerichtliche Klagen anbelangt - Nachwirkungen aus unseren noch offenen Problemen in 2010. Eine sehr traurige Bilanz.

Wir werden auch das Gefühl nicht los, dass oft die Gegenseite, wenn bei der Urheberrechtsverletzung ertappt, First the guilty or "bad guys" in our searches, we now turn our view and according to German copyright law, a claim that should have been in the run must be clarified. Now every child knows that you can not rob a bank and, in case you get caught, the stolen money can bring back without any further consequences. Sorry, did not understand all the opposite sides agreed and so we often have no other choice than to tune our lawyers. But we return

back to the good things.

Hanna photographed in 2010 and landed their first show similar, in the booklet of the current CD of the Nuremberg Vander Band - a success which probably provide only a few photographers from the start. It is also very encouraging that more and more orders Hanna independently parallel to it and continue to be wonderfully image processing and many other things that need to be made in the background, take care.

Amo is parallel since 2010 as a press photographer for the Central Zeitung on duty to report depicted in Neumarkt site. His skills as a photographer are an asset to the publisher and we are all very pleased for him - although he now has, unfortunately, even less time.

Steffen, as mentioned above, very proud of the aerial photography and the generally excellent Development in 2010 and looks forward to what may happen in 2011. Some very attractive jobs, we already know - it is now just a matter of them winning.

Now it is time to leave, however, the retrospective and look ahead. But not without due thanks to some very important people who have accompanied us in 2010:
  • There's the Mel, who was responsible for the wonderful design of the new website and has implemented our complete Corporate Design ( www.melodram-fine design . co m)
  • The Joachim, to whom we are indebted for the extensive programming of the new page ( www.wyl.de )
  • Doris Bordon ( www.bordon-design.de ), which has supported us in the small and big tricks with Photoshop in particular always very
  • love the beret, not only for the grand design of the band VANDER always makes for miracles but also actively supported Steffen
  • Our CBF-Basti - we tireless Support owe, when it came to network and other PC problems.
  • and our make-up artist Dani, with which we could work together more frequently in 2010 and us (and of course the customer) again and again with your skills inspire
In particular, we thank but our customers who have made us in 2010 to the what we are today and have us there to where we are today. The trust that we will be met with again and again for us is always an incentive to our professional advancement. We look forward to new challenges and cooperation in the coming year!

The author (whoever that may well be, moreover, thanks ;-) at
  • Amo, for the support, cooperation, constructive criticism and the "being-there" whenever he was needed. It was a wonderful year.
  • Hanna, decision-rich, especially for a year! Without you nothing would be as it is now. Therefore, and for everything else, thank you!.
.... Off to new shores, it is exciting - everything is new!

If 2011 is as enjoyable only partially (we hide the negative things from sympathetic), then this year a good one for us. Until then we wish you all a happy and a healthy, prosperous and happy new year!

Thank remains weighed us and if we phrase our Facebook may also assume here .... " end of the announcement !

For the Three warmly greets with the cameras in your hand

Always Have Pain After Acute Pancreatitis

Niko conquered ... a reunion (62)

lachende-smilies-0051.gif von smiliesuche.de JUCHU! Nachdem die Deutsche Bahn mal wieder äußerst nervtötend war, sind Niko und irgendwann doch noch in Essen angekommen - zum Wiedersehensfrühstück mit der Patentante Marion lachende-smilies-0026.gif von smiliesuche.de Und lecker war auch. Wer sagt denn, das ein Frühstück nicht bis 15 Uhr dauern kann? :-D


Für die Fotoqualität muss ich mich allerdings entschuldigen, es ist leider nur ein Handyfoto, aber besser als nichts. Abgesehen von der Weihnachtsgeschenkübergabe (daaaaaaaaaaaanke), haben wir schon wieder viele tolle Sachen geplant :-) 2011 kann kommen!
Das neue Memoryspiel wurde übrigens anschließend direkt eingeweiht: Ich habe meine Gegner abgezockt! :-D Nur habe ich nie die Pärchen bekommen, die ich wollte *schmoll*

Übrigens: Sonntag ist endlich wieder Rennbahn angesagt! huepfende-smilies-0042.gif von smiliesuche.de Guten Ruuuuhutsch!

How Are Ray Ban Wayfarers Fitted

Niko conquered ... the Münsterland snow (61)

Ein (vor)letzter Blogeintrag, zumindest für 2010. Ob es noch einen weiteren geben wird, hängt in erster Linie davon ab, ob sich mein Handy bzw. mein Laptop doch noch bequemen, eine Bluetooth-Verbindung einzugehen. Aus mir völlig unerfindlichen Gründen klappt das auf einmal no more.

After the avalanche of photos from the last time it snowed again properly, all the saints evening. Niko had to brake hard with enthusiasm and really wanted to dig a hole to find out how much snow. However, he did not mind that he must come out of his hole again ... Good thing I was not far, but I watch Niko not bedröppelt?


Christmas is already over, unfortunately, as always too short. But there was even more wonderful great :-) On Boxing Day we have the magnificent winter weather in a snow walk used almost three hours we were around Beelen way in the snowstorm. After I came back from Angers, I was able to celebrate at last reunited with my winter shoes. I appreciate their benefits to become again, although even this Münsterland in the snow (I have never seen so much snow at once, and even my grandma, who felt for ages, on: the weather can be such a thing not remember come) to its limits. Global warming sends his regards.

I'm using right now the last days of 2010 for "free-time stress." So I'm not to blog. Meeting people (again), shopping, etc. Next year I will probably have (one job) or not (the other job) once again earn some money.

I very much hope that tomorrow another Niko Update is, let's see whether the technology can be persuaded to cooperate. For now you have therefore with a few impressions from sledding to make do on Monday night. It was another terrific! We are after all, endured almost four hours in freezing temperatures outside - and that without freezing to some extent, im Gegenteil.

Bruchpiloten :-D
Und so wars eigentlich gedacht.
Und da ich schon wieder unter Entzugserscheinungen "leide", könnte es gut sein, dass ich mich am Sonntag gen Dortmund aufmachen - wenn der Frost bzw. die Sandbahn es denn zulassen. Daumen drücken ist angesagt!

Charges At The Corners Of A Cube

Niko conquered ... Snow chaos in the plains (60)

Das sogenannte Schnee"chaos" hat halb Europa im Griff. Seitdem ich wieder zu Hause bin, stört me the white stuff at all and no longer as Niko Nicholas, with his warm cloak anyway no problems with it. For many the situation might be quite different. are special lots of snow here on the boards, Münsterland country not normally, so the few inches longer sometimes carry quite strange flowers


In this sense. MERRY CHRISTMAS! schlitten-smilies-0003.gif von smiliesuche.de weihnachstbaum-smilies-0002.gif von smiliesuche.de

Does Seancody Do Mobile

SAP Business byDesign wird zur Plattform ausgebaut

SAP wird zukünftig voll auf Business byDesign setzen, wenn es um die Entwicklung von on-Demand-Lösungen goes. The first additional on-demand solution that is built on a platform ByD "Sales on-demand". Actually advised for late November, it could be February 2011, until SAP goes with this product in the market.

The decision was made in December 2009 and has led to very heated discussions held within the SAP, the platform except the right one. The main reason was the point of "leverage" that John Wookey, executive vice president at SAP, quotes. In addition, even the user interface, but also issues such as single sign on have played a role.

With the SDK, available in January for the whole ByD will gain momentum. Developed is based on Microsoft's Visual Studio and then compiled into ABAP. With the announced for summer 2011 version 3.0, a second version of the SDK will be available.

Starting in January, ByD be used increasingly in offices of SAP ERP customers. Serve with the partnership with Accenture, a ByD want to set up Center of Excellence to service their global SAP customers.

In the partner recruitment is also seen since the summer of motion. Currently around 50 partners are in use worldwide. That number will double next year but definitely still. It is conceivable, according to SAP means the separation into pure sales partners and pure implementation partners - that will happen probably in 2012 the case. Bernd-Uwe Pagel, Senior Vice President SAP, schliesst sogar einen Betrieb der Lösung durch Partner nicht aus, allerdings wird dies nicht vor dem Jahr 2012/13 realistisch sein.

Sportfreunde Stiller Nuremberg



Ole Ole - war das ein Fest. Die Sportfreunde Stiller waren zu Gast in der Arena Nürnberg. Klar, dass die Hütte ausverkauft war.


Steffen ist definitiv kein Sporti Fan, aber nachdem noch einige Kumpels von Radio Energy mit am Start waren und auch Freunde von Hanna, blieben wir nach dem Konzert noch für ein paar Lieder - und die Show ging definitiv unter die Haut.

Die Jungs auf der Bühne waren nicht zu dritt... sie hatten eine komplette Big Band am Start und da kommen dann Lieder wie "Ein Kompliment" richtig gut - ein Unterschied zu der MTV unplugged Version war zumindest für unsere Ohren nicht zu vernehmen.


Aus fotografischer Sicht war das Konzert recht schwierig zu fotografieren - obwohl die Bühne groß und toll beleuchtet was. Unfortunately, this time a bit too big and - if you're in the photo pit - too high.

Hopefully you've still enjoy the pictures. More pictures can be online tomorrow morning in the post-coverage in Radio Energy .

Elbow Swelling For No Reason

Die neue SAP: 9 Monate unter neuer Führung

Auf dem SAP Influencer Summit hat sich Vorstandschef Jim Hageman Snabe einige interessante Zwischentöne erlaubt. Die neue SAP stelle den Kunden wieder in den Fokus, es werde stärker mit den Kunden zusammen entwickelt und gearbeitet und die Betriebskosten seien durchaus im Fokus.

Daraus kann man folgern, dass sich unter seinem Vorgänger SAP zu sehr von den Kunden entfernt hat und die Entwicklung am Kunden vorbei erfolgt ist. Wenn man sich an die Aufregung und die Vorgehensweise bei der Wartungspreiserhöhung erinnert, eine treffende Diagnose.

The strategic direction is for some time: on-demand, Mobility, BI, Netweaver as a technology platform. In particular, the on-demand is not only through SAP Business ByDesign (ByD SAP) accelerated, but also extended through the On-Demand for SAP ERP additions in 2011. Certainly the most interesting sales will be on demand. Actually advised for late November, it could be February 2011, until SAP goes into this market. Interestingly also the testimony of Jim Hageman Snabe: "Quality over speed, even with on-demand products."

This corresponds with the statement made by Vishal Sikka, the Board member responsible for the development: "We only talk about things that we can supply it." Fast schon eine Revolution, denkt man doch an das weit verbreitende Powerpoint-Engineering, dass sich die Branche durchaus zu eigen macht.

Eine klare Absage an den Kauf von weiteren ERP-Anbietern hat Jim Hageman Snabe auch noch geäussert. "Innovation statt Konsolidierung" laute das Motto der SAP. Dennoch ist davon auszugehen, dass diesem Motto nicht alle in der Industrie folgen werden.

What Color Minnetonka's Should I Get

Social Media - na und?

Der Hype um den geschäftlichen Nutzen von Social Media scheint noch nicht durchgängig bei den Unternehmen angekommen zu sein: Nur 7 Prozent der von i2s im Rahmen der i2s CRM Studie 2010/11 befragten 245 Unternehmen planen im Jahr 2011 Investitionen im Bereich Social Media. Zum Vergleich: 19% der Befragten wollen im Bereich Order Management to invest. Of 15 possible investment areas social media land on the last.

A sobering result - it does however conflict with the efforts of providers, social media in CRM as "the next big thing" to position. The success stories such as Dell's sales success to be repeated like a mantra to show the necessity of social media and business value. But there is probably exactly the problem here: There are too few examples and the benefits of a community or a fan site is not easy to quantify.

purpose of social media initiative
Without a clearly defined purpose, the success of social media Initiative are difficult to measure. Needs to be clarified, for example, plans to offer the kinds of conversations, the company, which is the goal of such customer interactions and how to arrange their own goals with the desires of the target group. Thus, the targets may be, for example, reduce customer service costs, improve customer satisfaction and repeat purchase probability.
These goals require it, to be coordinated across departments and should be adequately anchored in the company. For the chance to change customer relationships through social media initiatives are high.

caution traps
important for a functioning Social Media Initiative ist eine sauber ausgearbeitete Strategie im Hintergrund, um nicht Fehler im Umgang mit Kunden zu begehen, die sich im Netz extrem schnell verbreiten.
Die Mitarbeiter mit Kundenkontakt müssen verstehen, wie Social Media funktioniert und welche Rolle und Verantwortung sie dabei haben. Oftmals herrscht gerade auf Geschäftsführungsebene noch Verunsicherung und Angst, dass Mitarbeiter sich in den Kundeninteraktionen falsch verhalten. Als Lösung bietet sich ein abteilungsübergreifender Prozess an, um eine einheitliche Tonalität und Botschaft gegenüber Kunden zu entwickeln.

Die Einführung von Social Media Initiativen sind gleichbedeutend mit Veränderungen im Unternehmen. Ohne Unterstützung Such initiatives will have no success because the top management must assure not only the necessary resources, but in our experience, for example, bring in online conversations with customers themselves.

It is not necessary to start with a major software purchase social media initiative. First, it makes sense gazing after me, what is in blogs, Twitter, Amazon and other social networks on their own products or companies in circulation. On this basis can be as Twitter into its own software portfolio to integrate, without spending any license costs.

Conclusion
Smaller companies with social media have to deal with - their customers use the options probably. Through a well-considered social media initiative, companies can receive important impulses for product development. And, as the example of Dell shows, create new variants and dramatically reduce costs.

My Mother's Feet Play

ERP-Strategie: Auf der Suche nach dem besten System

Approximately every ten years, companies should rethink their IT strategy and deal with their ERP system. In this case, the processes are under intensive investigation.

companies are in the middle of the wave of ERP-renewal. Systems operating in the run up to the Year 2000 problem, more than ten years have been introduced, have reached the end of their life cycle. New functions but also new issues such as social media to make a decision more and more necessary. Although the selection of an ERP software still plays a dominant role in the functionality, but users increasingly recognize also that there is a long-term strategic decision, which ERP ecosystem, and thus what technology family you join. In this decision, of course, also plays a dominant role in business strategy.

The basic question that arises in finding the connection between business strategy and IT strategy again and again, is whether IT innovations should lead an innovation of business processes or vice versa. You can not easily answered, finally, both ways really.

important thing is that from the ranks of the disappointed and technophobes repeatedly put forward bold thesis that IT alone has to subordinate the business strategy, it is not correct. This would postulate that a company can develop completely independent from the innovation of IT and the resulting opportunities continue.

is true, however, that an innovation in the IT market will not necessarily lead to innovation in business processes. At all levels of IT and organization mutual compliance can be achieved. Ultimately, this means that IT strategy and business strategy are matched.

be a rule in a modern industrial and commercial operations about 80-85% of the operational business processes are mapped directly by software systems. Numerous other processes (5-10%) are predominantly manual nature, they are linked directly to and as a laxative (sub) processes and activities with standard software systems. The increasing availability of system functions, such as in the MIS / BI (executive information systems) and CRM / SFA (sales-and order production systems) and management and decision processes and those business functions that have historically been less determined by software, more software "determined".

As a result, is the classic "process optimization" less and less an optimization on a green field site but has a convergence of corporate functions and needs of the "best practices" of a standard software system or "ERP Market" be taken as a whole. Because of the huge range of systems and of the great functionality of systems we can now assume that about 90% of the requests with the "standard" of a standard software can be covered, the missing features - in English one speaks of "Gaps "- can be covered usually by simple programming (forms, macros, etc.). A comprehensive programming is only necessary in a few cases. Here, however, to identify differences between different industries. The classic production and trade area can be covered very comprehensively in a rule, in the "Service" for example, currently yield more deficits.

Because of the previous considerations it is clear that a "process improvement project can not be separated prior to an ERP evaluation of the actual ERP evaluation. The optimization process is therefore more like a "search for the correct standard, ie that standard and reference processes, the requirements optimally cover the company and bring the most economic benefit. This search is two elements: in a first step to clarify what standard is ideal for the company, in a second step, a system is to find that this standard also reflects efficient. Both tasks are not really very sequentially but iteratively. Accordingly, there is the project's success rather than a multiplication function of two factors, "Optimal process organization" and "Coordinated software" rather than an addition.

In many specific cases they do so much with a process optimization project. The focus is on the management of organizational change ("Change Management"). Change Management fördert den Abstimmungsprozess zwischen Software, Prozessorganisation und den betroffenen Personen bzw. ihrer Arbeitsorganisation. Ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel sind sogenannte "Change Impact Portfolios", mit denen aufzeigt wird, wo sich die aktuelle bzw. zukünftige (=SOLL) Prozessorganisation in Relation zum Software-Standard und zum aktuellen IST-Zustand der Organisation befindet.

Standard-Software selbst ist ein hervorragendes Hilfsmittel für das Management der organisatorischen Veränderung, da Standard-Software quasi ein weitgehend objektivierbares, da letztlich technisches, Ziel vorgibt. Dieser Umstand hat in den vergangenen Jahren zur "Erfolgs-Ehe Standard-Software / Prozessoptimierung" geführt.

Rollenwandel der ERP-Nutzer
Der technologische Wandel, der erstmals über den privaten statt über den Unternehmensalltag vollzogen und getrieben wird, wird nach Einschätzung von Gartner in den nächsten fünf Jahren noch weiter zunehmen. Für die Unternehmen bedeutet dies, dass sie versuchen müssen, die Veränderungen von Verhaltensweisen und neue Technologien in ihre etablierte Unternehmenskultur und -infrastruktur zu integrieren.
Aber auch die Anforderungen an die Wissensarbeiter steigen. Um den Anforderungen gerecht werden zu können, wird immer mehr ein Wissens-Mix aus Business und Technologie gefordert. Während der klassische ERP-Anwender in der «alten Zeit» ein klar umrissenes Aufgabenfeld hatte, und die IT an der Unternehmensgrenze endete, ist das Aufgabenfeld heute dynamisch und ständigen Änderungen unterworfen. Der direkte Vorgesetzte und das Unternehmen verlieren zunehmend an Bedeutung sowohl für die Organisation wie auch für die Erledigung der täglichen Arbeit.

Die Folgen für das Unternehmen dürfen keinesfalls unterschätzt werden. So wie Produktionsanlagen mobil sind, sind auch die für den Unternehmenserfolg wertvollen Wissensarbeiter mobil geworden. Die IT ist mobil, dank Software-as-a-Service, UMTS und Notebooks. Damit sind auch die Anwender nicht mehr an klassische Vorgaben gebunden.

Die Anbieter von ERP-Lösungen müssen auf Änderungen im Nutzerverhalten und zum Einsatz ihrer Lösungen in der neuen Welt schnell Antworten finden. Noch ist die Mehrheit der Unternehmen träge und nur punktuell offen für Web-2.0-Angebote. Man befindet sich noch weitestgehend in der Testphase. Funktioniert etwas, wird es eingesetzt; im Moment erst noch von einer Minderheit, bald aber immer schneller auch von der Mehrheit. Sich dem Trend zu widersetzen wird sich kein Unternehmen, das zukünftig Erfolg haben möchte, leisten können.

Handlungsbedarf
Das Individualdenken der Anwender steht im Gegensatz zu langjährigen Grundlagen von ERP-Systemen, wie Standardisierung und Prozessorientierung im Sinne von eingeschränkter Prozessführung. Das heutige User-Verhalten is always less the user model from the "early years" of ERP systems. ERP systems have essentially still building plans from the early years. These were expected to continuously improve technology, "beefed up" but not really re-thought. With the ever increasing demands of the users here are entirely new concepts needed. These are compelling, "hybrid" and must allow the participation of users in the IT Customizing itself.

IT culture and IT governance in the companies are not yet adjusted to the "new user cultures." Here are urgently need new approaches, with the mandatory adoption of a purely "technical thinking" must. IT-Anwendungslandschaften im Unternehmen werden immer mehr zu basisdemokratischen Systemen. Das Wissensmonopol der IT-Abteilungen wird damit gebrochen. Um diese «komplexen Systeme» zu führen und zu gestalten, muss man sie verstehen, wie sie sich verändern. Erst wenn man diese Veränderungslogik versteht, lässt sich diese auch beeinflussen.

What Caused Distal Clavicle Resection

ERP goes China - a new i2s study

Globalization is having a far-reaching impact on the business world. In a business environment marked by globalization, the world seems to shrink, and other businesses halfway around the world can exert as great an impact on a business as one right down the street. SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) are going through a transition phase and are generally restructuring their strategies and capabilities to remain competitive and grow in the emerging world trade environment. Companies have to follow this trend and operate on a global base, e.g. with subsidiaries and factories in China. We have been observing the trend of German-speaking and other European SMEs moving to China for quite a while. One of the main challenges for companies moving abroad is the need to establish an efficient ERP system. The IT department has to provide solutions for the guiding principle “system follows strategy”.

The reasons why enterprises expand to China are mainly:

Resource seeking
Market seeking
Efficiency seeking

For SMEs, two prime areas of the global economy are ripe for picking: selling to new markets and setting up operations abroad. Once the exclusive domain of large manufacturing enterprises, these opportunities are also available to SME manufacturers.

Take for example selling to new markets in developing nations in Asia and the former Soviet-bloc states. While conventional wisdom says that these regions are most likely to be the origin rather than the destination of manufactured products, increasing consumer demand in these markets cannot be met by domestic manufacturers. Foreign supply relationships are the most common forms of internationalization, while exporting is the next, and some establish foreign subsidiaries and branches.

We observe four main obstacles that German speaking companies are facing with their IT / ERP strategy:

- Projects take too long to cope with the fast-changing market conditions in China
Companies in China are growing much faster than in Europe – and management is not used to handling such fast growth
- IT (especially license costs and maintenance) are more expensive than the Chinese employees operating IT
- Cultural differences between a Chinese and a European workforce complicate HR management. Chinese employees are usually well educated but lack experience of Western business behavior.

If German, Austrian, or Swiss (GAS) companies want to globalize their business, the strategy “we do it like home” has to be questioned. In Germany, Austria, or Switzerland (GAS) there seems to be a lack of understanding and knowledge concerning these topics. Large vendors with a long history of international business and production plants outside of Europe typically have that sort of knowledge – yet for common SMEs this information is not very helpful because they usually lack the organizational back-office capacities of large enterprises. Typical Swiss characteristics like perfection and quality might not be the ideal driver for a rapid globalization and a proper alignment of the IT systems.

Lawyer Arendt's problems with truth

for the self-proclaimed "investment counsel" Martin Arendt from the Upper Bavarian Forest Green seems an appropriate means to lie if it serves their own dubious purposes, or is likely to fill his wallet. Anyway, he balks in his speech back in court as little as the Internet in its advertising.

Sun he claims, for example, on his website for years possibly against their better knowledge, managed by our house Fund was allegedly caused by damage to parts of the liquidity reserve temporarily as a fixed- and daily allowance in 2003, was created in liquidation BFI Bank.
that this is not the case, but clearly from the fund balances for the relevant years. And that he is aware of these is the fact shows that even these he has presented in several matters as attachments with the court. It is probably safe to assume that only a lawyer submits to the court documents, whose contents he knows. In addition, Mr. Arendt has in each year personally participated in the meetings of shareholders of the Fund, to which was discussed in detail on this subject.
Thus it is demonstrated that for at least 6 years (!) Announced that the fund from the bankruptcy of the bank, not a single cent BFI has arisen to damage because the money had been taken off long before its collapse there.
This does not prevent him having to claim for the purpose of advertising clients on his website to this day the exact opposite . a blatant lie so that only serves the purpose to intimidate investors by these deliberately and against better knowledge alleged possible losses and deceives both the ALPINA management in the vicinity of the wg. Fraud and embezzlement convicted founder of ERI Bank advances, with those responsible our house had not the least to do.

But that's not enough. Not even in court shuns Mr. RA Arendt back from deliberate lies.
In a civil case are in principle required all parties to present accurate. This applies also to the lawyers involved, which are ultimately self-organs of justice. Mr. Arendt's shears the RA but obviously not great.

He has, for example 2007 i n proceedings before the Higher Regional Court of Munich (Ref. 6 U 1851/06), and thus IN WRITTEN record, deliberately and against better knowledge stated that he had in 2000 still does not deal with possible errors in the prospectus prospectuses of our house, although in 2000 one of these brochures, which he allegedly would not have employed him on the alleged prospectus can analyze errors and had had this at that time also provided in writing. With so committed to tell deliberate infringement of the obligation, to court the truth, RA Arendt was not only himself but also his clients a possible prosecution for attempted fraud process out.

Absolutely not unique. He wore such as 2009 in a proceeding before the Regional Court Munich I (Ref. 35 O 25839/09), also IN WRITTEN and thus on record, before, he had all the processes in which one of our fund companies sue, which he represented, defaulting contributors was going on, wins.
Once completely ignoring the fact that this brazen assertion in the face of devastating for Mr. Arendt's overall record of ever deprived of it against our company processes carried out, is a certain comic, is also here once more a outright lie , wie selbstverständlich anhand einer Vielzahl entsprechender Fälle dokumentiert ist. Und auch in diesem Fall setzt er wieder einmal völlig skrupellos die ihm anvertraute Mandantschaft vorsätzlich den strafrechtlichen Konsequenzen eines zumindest versuchten Prozessbetruges aus .

Ein wahrer "Dauerbrenner" im Lügen-Arsenal des Herrn Arendts ist die von ihm seit nunmehr bereits über 10 Jahren gebetsmühlenartig und wider besseren Wissens aufgestellte Behauptung, unsere Fonds wären aufgrund angeblich "hoher Kosten" nicht in der Lage, Gewinne zu erzielen. Eine nachweislich falsche Tatsachenbehauptung , vor der er jedoch nicht zurückschreckte, sie auch schriftsätzlich in introduce almost any legal proceedings in recent years.
Apart from the fact that this claim is so ludicrously already, because our funds have always proven to quote the lowest market include this claim in two independent reports
is disproved. Both reports are shown to Mr. Arendt's known since they were already the subject of legal disputes, in which he was involved. Again, it is therefore deliberate lies and in cases in which he has presented to this court to at least tried to process fraud .

How Long Does It Take Chlamydia To Clear Up

In Sight of "investment lawyers"

Financial Services are often located in the barrage of public criticism. Not infrequently, these are, however, simply about - from self-interest, such as advertising to client-driven - character assassination campaigns.

This dubious advertising practice does, however, often against supreme court, namely a decision of the Federal Constitutional Court, which sees in this dirty negative "reporting" a violation of Article 12 of the Basic Law (BVerfGE, Az 1BvR 193 / 05).

Thus, for example not lawyers advise public to withdraw from an investment, as is often practiced just the internet (LG Hamburg, Az 324/06).

The self-proclaimed "investment counsel" Martin Arendt is a prime example of this type of unfair and infringing advertising by his smear campaigns like multiple fronts, namely, both on their own homepage as well as several of his own hosted blog PR and operating various portals. Even before the targeted " Cold Calling " he shrinks in attracting potential clients supposedly not back.

sloppiness in the law firm Arendt

not enough, Mr lawyer Martin Arendt his clients by allegedly false or incomplete information about their real process deceives prospects or at least be in the dark and thus in the same sense as a rule unsuccessful , it drives but expensive processes. Not
enough, Mr RA Martin Arendt exposed by intentionally making false statements in court his clients of the prosecution process for attempted fraud.
To all of which characterized Mr. RA Arendt also by a certain "slovenliness", or has simply not in control of his office management. There are already numerous instances in which he alleged claims of his clients due to attorney misconduct rough simply be barred because he lie to it mandates often untreated for years or court dates to appear without just let pass.

It is there are cases - such as this one - which at best will explain rationally not leave and not lack a certain serenity - except of course for the affected clients, the right such a procedure certainly not very cheerful.

The truth about "investment counsel" Martin Arendt

Seit über 10 Jahren wütet der selbsternannte "Anlageanwalt" Martin Arendts aus Grünwald bei München bereits gegen verschiedene Unternehmen der Finanzbranche – insbesondere jedoch gegen die Fonds und Verantwortlichen der Oberhachinger ALPINA-Gruppe. Sonderlich erfolgreich ist er dabei jedoch nicht, denn fast alle Fälle enden vor Gericht mit einem Fiasco for the investors he represents. And in truth it does this "Ehrenberufler" not always very accurate.

"Investment Lawyers" - riveting in black robes

lawyers to clients fishing

lawyers are increasingly using consumer protection groups to catch clients that they themselves have initiated.
The self-appointed "Verbraucherschützer" klingeln im Auftrag der Anwälte sogar an der Haustür von Sparern, um sie zu aussichtslosen Prozessen zu drängen.

Die Methoden bei der Jagd nach Mandanten sind vielfältig – und dabei immer häufiger leider auch ungesetzlich. Verstöße gegen das Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, z. B. bei der Beschaffung von Anlegeradressen für Werbeschreiben, unerlaubte Werbeanrufe, sog. " Cold-Calling ", zur Mandantenakquise, unerlaubte bzw. wettbewerbswidrige Werbung oder Verstöße gegen das anwaltliche Werbeverbot – die Liste der unseriösen und teilweise gesetzeswidrigen Praktiken ist lang.

Certain media, especially so-called "Investor Protection Publications" always turn out to clients seeking investment partners as popular prosecutors.
example, cooperated Grünwalder lawyer Martin Arendt years intensively with the late, several relevant sentenced journalist and
self-styled "consumer advocates" Heinz Gerlach ( Wikipedia ), which, if required, one or others complain supporting "advice" provided regularly and as an accompanying measure to the extent the law firm Arendt strenuous action waves reporting on contributing. While Arendt RA was based on his complaints include the reports made by Gerlach, who reported in its online business service activities Arendt diligently over the court. Alternative suppliers to the quasi-reciprocal basis for this lucrative activity.
According to this simple, but by looking for the affected investors is difficult to knit the pair campaigned for example, for over 10 years against the Oberhaching ALPINA Group . An indication that Arendt's attorney, with one exception, all in the last 10 years brought by him against the ALPINA funds and their managers lost processes and it has cost his clients a lot of money, they looked in the statements made by Gerlach in vain.

clients advertising on forbidden "Cold- Calling the action

lawyers is to target advertising to clients prohibited by law (§ 43b BRAO). And reputable law firms have such a thing even simply not necessary .

Those that seem necessary but have often choose the path of a "technical contribution" disguised advertising on the Internet and use it in this connection, also like the fee-based promotional offer from Google Adwords. Once and for so-called "Ehrenberufler" more than questionable business practices.

Some firms, such as that of the self-proclaimed "investment counsel" Martin Arendt in Grünwald near Munich, that's enough but apparently not yet - and so you share in the ongoing hunt for new customers nor any of it, by potential clients with unsolicited phone calls - bother - that illegality "Cold Calling".

In one case documented here an employee of the firm Arendt an investor harassed beaten for 17 minutes on the phone and tried to persuade it to instruct the firm to Arendt's own first and also (!) - Almost acquire more investors for this - as a "Headhunter".

concerned should report immediately in cases of dubious and unlawful advertising clients complaint.

always advertise them aggressively to clients. Their advantage is unfortunately seldom so strong as to make the generous promises of the plant believe lawyers - and the complaint is costly.
one wins but always - that the lawyer about his fees, he conceded, of course, even if the practical and often quite a chance 'actions ultimately end up in court with a loss of clients lured with false promises.

The methods of hunting clients are diverse - and more often, unfortunately, abuse of rights. Violations of the federal Privacy Act, for example in raising investor addresses for mail promotions, unlawful telemarketing calls, so-called "cold calling", to the client acquisition, unauthorized or anti-competitive advertising or violations of lawyer advertising ban - the list of dubious and sometimes illegal practices is long.
Some, such as RA Martin Arendt from Grünwald near Munich, initiate, for the purpose of advertising clients even systematic character assassination campaign - mostly on the Internet - and fear neither before nor slander back from deliberate slander.

turns out the bottom line, the power of an "investment counsel" and bringing an expensive action in many cases, own goal for the agitated investors.
why should it be, before the appointment of a lawyer always first seek further information from other sources and not blindly rely on the grandiose promises.
In any case, you should make before the commission, an investment lawyer familiar with his track record. Did the firm already represented investors against the provider? And if so, how these processes are considered?
lawyers are obliged to inform their clients about the process to true prospects. A lawyer who has his clients aware of the process in the dark prospects of this intentionally or even falsch darstellt, kann dafür haftbar gemacht und zu Schadensersatz verpflichtet werden ( OLG Koblenz, Aktenzeichen 12 U 315/05 , BGH, IX ZR 52/02 )

liable: Dubious "Investment attorneys" to make himself liable for damages

Vor der Beauftragung eines Anlageanwaltes sollte man sich grundsätzlich zunächst mit dessen Erfolgsbilanz vertraut machen. Hat die Kanzlei bereits Anleger gegen den entsprechenden Anbieter (Bank, Fondsinitiator, Versicherungsgesellschaft) vertreten? Und wenn yes, those procedures to the clients were crowned with success?

A lawyer is obliged to inform its clients before legal action to truthfully about his chances. A lawyer who has his clients aware of the process prospects in the dark or even intentionally misrepresents these can be held liable and obliged to pay compensation (see in particular the following judgments).

A lawyer may not allow the clients about the real opportunities and risks in the dark and vast promise of success, when in fact a very substantial risk of loss exists process.
...
Where a complaint shows no prospect of success, then it is a violation of employment contractual obligations of the lawyer when he tells the client , that the action was overwhelming chances of success.
...
The lawyer must therefore advise against legal action if the action has virtually no chance of success.
Does he not violated his duties and shall replace any damage arising therefrom.



Is the claim or defense futile against an action, the discourage law clearly because of the cost risk of the complaint.



Many lawyers for investment often over the years dozens, even hundreds, of more or less identical case against the same old provider - and produce for their clients often defeats on the assembly line.

So for example "investment counsel" Martin Arendt in Grünwald near Munich over 94 percent of all in the last 10 years against him by the Oberhachinger ALPINA-Gruppe angestrengten Verfahren verloren – was ihn jedoch nicht daran hindert, auch heute noch nahezu gleichlautende Klagen einzureichen, in deren seit Jahren weitgehend identischem Wortlaut lediglich Name und Anschrift der Anleger ausgetauscht werden. Minimaler Aufwand – maximaler Ertrag … für den Anlageanwalt versteht sich, denn dessen Honorar bemißt sich nicht nach dem Erfolg, sondern stets nach dem Streitwert.

Arendt-client sentenced to imprisonment

Wer sich auf die Dienste von Rechtsanwalt Martin Arendts aus Grünwald bei München verlässt, könnte u. U. eine böse und vor allem teure Überraschung erleben. So it was certainly in the past more than one client of the firm Arendt.

And not just in the capital markets, where Mr. Arendt for his clients series of court defeats in produced, but also on other areas of law.

Thus boasted lawyer Arendt, according to his own admission, a specialist in Banking and Investment Law, "and for" sports betting and gambling "- a truly adventurous combination - in January 2009, yet full-bodied with being a supposedly watertight approach quite safe house raffles in Germany entwickelt zu haben.
Noch im Herbst vergangenen Jahres gab sich der selbsternannte „Glücksspiel-Spezialist“ siegessicher und brüstete sich in diversen Internet-Foren und Web-Blogs mit diesem angeblich rechtssicheren Konzept.
Allerdings laufen die meisten Google-Fundstellen zu diesem Thema mittlerweile ins Leere – denn Herr Arendts hat seine selbstbeweihräuchernden Werbeinträge zwischenzeitlich fast alle verschämt wieder gelöscht. Warum? Weil sich das vermeintlich so geniale Konzept schlicht als fataler Rohrkrepierer erwiesen hat (siehe unten).
Nur in der Online-Presse wird man noch fündig auf der Suche nach den vollmundigen Promises of "gaming specialist" Arendt - for example, on world online.

for one of his clients, for which he had invented the supposedly "legally sound approach," concluded that "gambling" but finally before the bar of the District Court of Munich I , where he wg. responsible illegal gambling and a commercial fraud in 18 294 cases had and finally to two years imprisonment has been condemned as a. .

i2s Studie: ERP goes China

A global standard ERP system the claim. But European companies in China make in one way or the other feature that must be observed. Otherwise threaten the users avoidable delays and escalating costs.
In many cases, the move abroad at the beginning of an adventure rather than a tightly-planned approach. Two-thirds of the Zurich analyst and consulting company i2s in the study "ERP goes China" surveyed 106 German-user companies with a commitment in China say they have opened because of the proximity to the consumer market an office in China. 62 percent have their own production base in China, one third would be closer to the supplier market of China. With

time cost and process efficiency play in the supposed low-wage countries, a significant role. Thus, the subject of ERP deployment is increasingly important, however, also leads to significant problems. The majority of the Swiss-present market ERP vendors, particularly in SME segment is still always oriented more nationally. They are not of an international multi-site operation equipped with integrated processes, nor are the localization requirements of many countries met. There is a lack of tested languages \u200b\u200band all too often to appropriate support services.

goal of an ERP deployment in China, it is first, the integration of the Chinese subsidiary to the parent company and its Prozesse zu gewährleisten, lautet eines der Ergebnisse der Studie. Ziel muss es sein, auch in China jene Zuverlässigkeit und Güte für die Geschäftsprozesse sicherzustellen, die man von einem Schweizer Unternehmen erwarten kann. An zweiter Stelle steht die Herausforderung, die chinesische Tochter in das eigene Controlling einzubinden. Dies ist umso wichtiger, da sich eine China-Expansion auch schnell zu einem finanziellen Risiko auswachsen kann. Zwar bestehen immer noch erhebliche Kostenvorteile, die Kostenzuwachsraten sind aber ebenso immens.

Erfolgsfaktoren
Für ERP-Projekte ist es erfolgsentscheidend, globale Strategien an China anzupassen. Dies schließt mit ein, standardisierte globale Prozesse check prior to their transfer to China for their portability, because it does not necessarily have the best processes for China. The enormous time and cost pressures in China makes a thorough and detailed project planning is required. Only as a cost-effective, rapid implementation of the project is possible. In selecting an appropriate system should be systems of local Chinese suppliers not taboo. Regardless of which system is used, should be considered in planning local resources that have experience with the implementation of specific local requirements.

The study will offer not only the empirical research user organizations as an aid when it the new locations will open up abroad. It serves China as an extreme example of spatial distance, language barriers and regulatory obstacles. The study is at a price of 200 € or 290 CHF will be ordered directly from the i2s.

Africa: millions of women with obstetric fistula


http://www.afrika.info/aktuell_detail.php?N_ID=1431&kp = currently

activists see governments have a duty *

By Susan Anyangu-Amu

Nairobi. African governments should not lifelong suffering of more than one million women with obstetric fistula longer take their inevitable fate. This demand sent medical experts to African Health Ministers, which im Oktober zu einer Konferenz in Simbabwe treffen.

Sie sehen die Hauptursachen für die vorwiegend in ländlichen Gebieten auftretende Krankheit in gesundheitspolitischen Versäumnissen, in Kinderehen und anderen Traditionen sowie in regionalen Konflikten mit Massenvergewaltigungen.

Wenn es bei einer Geburt vor allem bei sehr jungen Müttern zu Komplikationen kommt, ohne dass medizinische Hilfe erreichbar ist, und die Entbindung sich über Tage hinzieht, verletzt der Druck des Ungeborenen das empfindliche Gewebe des Geburtskanals und lässt es absterben. Ohne eine Operation der dabei zwischen Vagina, Blase oder Darm entstehenden Fistel bleiben die Frauen lebenslang inkontinent. In westlichen Ländern kommt es dank guter medizinischer Versorgung kaum noch zu Geburtsfisteln, die dann unverzüglich operiert werden.

Stigmatisiert und verstoßen

"Die Gemeinden stigmatisieren diese Frauen ", stellt der Gynäkologe Odongo Odiyo fest. "Die Betroffenen sind unfähig zu arbeiten und von ihren Familien abhängig, die sie häufig ihrem Schicksal überlassen und verstoßen."

Mehrere Faktoren fehlender weiblicher Gleichberechtigung begünstigen das massenhafte Gesundheitsproblem der Fisteln. Das Risiko ist besonders hoch, wenn zu früh verheiratete, körperlich unreife Mädchen entbinden. Die fehlende Familienplanung ist ein weiterer Risikofaktor.

"Wenn man Mädchen früh verheiratet, denying them their basic right to education and good nutrition, they are neither physically nor mentally prepared to motherhood. It imposes these children on the whole burden of Fistelerkrankung, criticized Odiyo.

Where the social status of women is low, the willingness money for their medical care spending. The transportation of vulnerable expectant mothers to the nearest medical facility is deferred as long as possible . In Africa, many women bring their children home to the world. Without qualified medical help can not risk births are recognized early and treated appropriately.

The road to the clinic is too far

estimates the 'East, Central and Southern African Health Community' (ECSA-HC), an organization that campaigns in these areas for cooperation in health suffer, but at least 100,000 in Ethiopia, particularly in the rural women to obstetric fistula. The gynecologist Odiyo forward on behalf of the ECSA-HC programs for families, for information on birth control. He reports that in Uganda, women receive before giving birth virtually no medical care because there is within 20 kilometers of no health center and the streets are also usually poor.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo with its regional and ongoing conflicts in Kenya, where elections for 2007/2008 to severe Übergriffen kam, wurde die massiv als Kriegswaffe eingesetzte sexuelle Gewalt für betroffene Frauen zu einem zusätzlichen Risiko für eine Geburtsfistel.

Der UN-Bevölkerungsfonds (UNFPA) schätzt, dass in Entwicklungsländern zwei Millionen Frauen mit unbehandelten Fisteln leben, die meisten in armen Regionen des Sub-Sahara-Afrikas und Asiens. Jährlich kommen bis zu 100.000 Betroffene hinzu. Scham und Ausgrenzung der Frauen verhindern das Sammeln verlässlicher Daten.

Information und Prävention

Die ECSA-HC will das Problem der Fisteln auf die gesundheitspolitische Agenda der Regierungen setzen und hat für die verantwortlichen Politiker eine Dokumentation zusammengestellt. Es geht der Organisation darum, die sozialen und politischen Ursachen des Problems der Geburtsfisteln sowie Präventivmaßnahmen aufzuzeigen. "Das Papier soll ihnen als Grundlage für eine regional koordinierte Prävention dienen", erklärt James Watiti. Er leitet die Forschungs- und Informationsarbeit der ECSA-HC.

In dem Dokument werden die Regierungen aufgefordert, Krankenhäuser angemessen mit Personal, Medikamenten und medizinischen Geräten auszustatten sowie mit mehr und besseren Straßen dafür zu sorgen, dass die Menschen leichter zu den Hospitälern kommen können. Zudem sollten Sonderfonds für Familienplanung und Kindergesundheit eingerichtet werden. Dabei soll bedacht werden, dass arme Frauen und Kinder am Most have suffered from diseases.

that pays health-political engagement, says the specialist in gynecology and obstetrics, Iteerswaree Thacoor from Mauritius. She works in the Ministry of Health of South East African island republic. "In terms of maternal health, we do a good job. With us, most women give birth in hospital, because the government has provided for short distances to health facilities," she says.

"in state bodies shall be treated mothers and their newborn babies for free," said Thacoor. "From a company, we expect them to at least two percent of their profits in social services, invest especially in the health sector."

Calls The health expert from Mauritius on governments to follow the example of his country. It applies to ensure that women no longer need to give birth at home and that girls can attend school and properly nourished. (Afrika.info / IPS)
