First Google Apps Partner in India

We stand on the tipping point of how computers are used. For the last 20 years personal computers have been used by billions of people with personal software and Microsoft has made Billions selling us that software. That is changing.

Software is now available in the internet at a fraction of the cost and 3 billion of us have internet access from our mobiles and PCs - so why buy personal software, servers and hire people who need to run all the technology - instead just log-on to the internet from anywhere at anytime and get access to all your information. Google is leading that change and it will change the way we interact. 

After Niche n Agile became the first authorised reseller partner of Google Apps in India, we realised that we were part of next generation of IT providers - the generation that moves much faster than IBM, Infosys and Wipro to provide clients with internet solutions. Now we are the first Google Apps partner to use premium web chat....just visit www.nichenagile.com to check it out.

Niche n Agile's partnership with Google is intriguing as we together are helping organisations replace Microsoft Office and setup professional email [with a personalised address e.g. sam@mycompany.com]. And guess what - you can now work with it offline as well.

And in the words of Randy Bachman - You ain't seen nothing yet! 

Defying logic - our customers can now access email and files offline even when they are not connected to the internet. Our customers in US, India and Europe can video conference for free and make free phone calls. Our customers can create corporate intranets, secure project extranets for their clients, recruitment websites and public marketing websites - all at a fraction of the traditional cost, all without any technical knowledge and resources; and all over the internet.

 

Interested in how you can be ahead of your competitors! Reach us on contactus@nichenagile.com and together let us get ahead of the curve.

This Christmas we enjoyed watching The Radio City Christmas Spectacular. The Rockettes signature eye high kicks, and precision choreography was memorable and intriguing. Talking to the Rockettes later - I learnt that they spend 11 months training for the show and do that every year. It takes years to get the perfection. It takes ideas from everyone to make the show original every year. The passion and determination of every rockette along with the personal commitment to keep up the 75 year old tradition of leading the New York musicals every christmas was infectious. New York Musicals have a special charm - I love them. www.radiocity.com

Radio City has a legacy. A legacy created as a result of leadership.  This dovetails with what Piers Ibbotson writes in The Illusion of Leadership. “The best directors did not know in detail what was going to happen in the play until they saw me do it. They didn’t tell me what I should do because they didn’t know. This ability to carry on being in charge and maintaining the trust of a company, when you and I do not and cannot know in detail how things will turn out, seems to me to be at the heart of creative leadership in business and the arts.” 

Because, Ibbotson believes, that people outside the arts generally misunderstand the creative process and the behaviors necessary to encourage creative teamwork, they don’t put a culture in place that promotes group creativity. It doesn’t come from competitive individualism and it needs boundaries and constraints. “The creative juices get going when you are up against a boundary, at the edge of what is acceptable, possible, or known.” 

Ibbotson presents the leader as director. He explains how they release creativity and optimize innovation, how they give space to the creative drives of performers but still maintain an outcome that is true to the original vision and delivered on time and within budget. If the right culture is in place, innovation is not an issue.

Leadership is the art of telling less, listening more and encouraging more. Leadership is the pursuit of perfection not satisfaction.
