- OM Logistics switched all its servers to Linux in 2001 due to greater stability and reliability compared to Windows. This helped reduce downtime and saved the company 10 million rupees.
- They initially tested Linux on servers in the IT department before migrating desktops in 2001 as well. This led to a marked drop in problems reported compared to the Windows environment.
- Today, over 99% of OM Logistics' computers run Linux except for accounting, saving costs while improving productivity through less downtime and a more secure, reliable system.
Om Logistics is a large logistics company in India with over 400 offices and 3000 vehicles. It was facing performance issues with its critical ERP software used to manage operations. It evaluated several server solutions and chose HP servers with Violin Memory Arrays, which increased application performance by 525% and reduced report generation times from 32 hours to under 5 hours. This scalable solution now supports the company's growth and additional ERP modules.
This document discusses challenges faced by the logistics industry and how information technology can help address them. It identifies key challenges such as ineffective transportation management, information bottlenecks that limit profitability, difficulties expanding into dynamic markets, and a lack of affordable and easy-to-use solutions. Experts provide perspectives on how integrated software solutions can help with transportation costs, quote-to-cash processes, collaboration with partners, and more to improve operational efficiencies for logistics companies.
Om Logistics needed to upgrade its outdated IT infrastructure to meet growing customer demands and compete in a rapidly expanding market. It developed an integrated ERP system using Intel Xeon processor-based servers and Linux operating system. This provided a robust, scalable solution for online consignment tracking, increased functionality, and platform-neutral access for 400 customers. As a result, Om Logistics significantly increased market share while reducing costs through improved efficiency and reliability.
OM Logistics successfully deployed Linux across its enterprise in 2001. This allowed it to integrate data from its 45 branches in real-time, provide accurate cargo tracking to customers via SMS, and scale its IT infrastructure to support rapid business growth. The deployment faced challenges from user resistance and a lack of Linux expertise, but ultimately reduced IT costs by over 60% and increased system uptime, security, and reliability. The stable, secure Linux environment helped OM Logistics increase its annual growth rate to over 100% and market share across multiple industries.
This document appears to be a collection of page numbers labeled "Sheet1 Page [number]" with no other visible text or context. It consists of page numbers ranging from 1 to 16, with each page labeled consecutively. The document provides a listing of page numbers but no other discernible content or information.
Om Logistics deployed a homegrown ERP solution developed using Micro Focus COBOL to address issues with a scattered network across India that caused lack of transparency in information flow and revenue loss. The new centralized system provided real-time access to data across 60+ locations, improving productivity, customer service and reducing costs. Key benefits included accelerated response times, optimized workflows, reduced errors and reliable data access, enabling quick decision making and more effective resource utilization.

The greenhouse factor: innovative concepts for feeding the cityJan de Wilt
The document summarizes Jan de Wilt's presentation on innovative concepts for urban agriculture at the Urban Agriculture Summit in Linkoping, Sweden. It discusses how integrating greenhouses and buildings can provide heating, electricity, waste treatment, and clean water through concepts like agroparks, greenhouse villages, and buildings that use greenhouses as energy sources. Examples are provided of projects in the Netherlands that integrate greenhouses and buildings in innovative ways to enable urban farming and a more circular economy.
New concepts for agriculture in relation to climate changeJan de Wilt
Climate change is a serious threat to world food production due to salination, flooding and heat stress. Agriculture can also play a role in carbon sequestration and prevention of climate change. Several concepts are presented.
Data To Value offer both on-client and managed services to address customer's data quality and profiling challenges.
Partnering with Data To Value can boot-strap firms's Data Governance challenges through clear demonstration of business value.
ECOFERM, the circular farm produces algae and duckweed from manure, CO2 and heat to feed veal calves. The concept is described and first results are presented.
This document discusses lean data lineage and how it can help organizations get more value from their data. It describes using lean data management principles and tools to analyze, benchmark, and deliver data lineage. Applying techniques like iterative development, prototyping, cross-functional teams, and actionable metrics can help organizations more efficiently discover data sources, build data models and documentation, measure results, and continually learn and improve their data lineage. This lean approach aims to provide outcomes like increased efficiency, clarity into how data moves through an organization, and more timely insights from data.
Leveraging the best of traditional modelling with the latest big data, data profiling & semantic web techniques to accelerate delivery & value realisation
This document discusses lean data lineage and how it can help organizations get more value from their data. It describes how lean data specialists can apply lean data management principles and tools to analyze an organization's data integration and business intelligence landscape, benchmark it, and deliver data lineage. This is done through short iterations of data profiling, discovery, modeling, governance, and measuring outcomes to increase efficiency, clarity, and timeliness while reducing costs and improving compliance.
This document provides over 100 tips for getting to sleep before exams, ranging from physical activities to changing one's mindset. Some of the tips include taking a warm bath, changing bedsheets, reading or listening to soothing materials, spending time with pets or children, meditating, praying, and visualizing success. Many emphasize relaxing the mind and body in order to fall asleep despite exam stress and worries.
A União Europeia está considerando novas regras para veículos autônomos. As regras propostas exigiriam que os fabricantes de veículos autônomos assumam mais responsabilidade por acidentes e garantam que os sistemas de direção sejam projetados para proteger os pedestres e ciclistas. Os regulamentos também visam estabelecer padrões comuns para testes e certificação de veículos autônomos em toda a UE.
The document describes the implementation of an integrated funds transfer pricing (FTP) framework at a bank. It uses a simple bank balance sheet to illustrate how an FTP process can achieve objectives like risk-adjusted performance measurement, prospective pricing guidance, and risk transfer. It shows how liquidity and interest rate risk can be isolated and managed through term funding and swaps. Finally, it demonstrates how an FTP center fully integrates these components to provide consistent pricing, risk management, and attribution of results across business units.
The document discusses stress, its causes and effects, and various ways to manage and reduce stress. It defines stress as the body's response to demands and describes its psychological and physical symptoms. Persistently high stress can lead to health issues. The document then provides strategies for handling stress, such as breathing techniques, visualization, exercise, diet, sleep, and stress journaling. It emphasizes living a healthy lifestyle and using relaxation activities like yoga to manage stress.
This presentation is intended for investment professionals and discusses alternative approaches to traditional passive indexing and active portfolio construction. It argues that current processes can hide risks by not properly reflecting true investment objectives. It promotes considering liability-matching fixed income portfolios, alternative equity benchmarks that are not market-cap weighted, and customized approaches to alternative investments rather than traditional indices. The presentation provides examples to illustrate issues with traditional approaches and potential benefits of the proposed alternatives.
