    TO DRIVE MASSIVEPUBLIC SECTOR

    TRANSFORMATION

    TekMindz has developed and continues to be

    engaged in creating innovative solutions for variouspublic sector departments, scientific research &

    development institutes and autonomous bodies

    under the government of India.

    We have developed several innovative technology

    platforms for the Council of Scientific & Industrial

    Research (CSIR), the Department of Scientific &

    Industrial Research (DSIR) and the Department of

    Science & Technology under the Ministry of Science

    & Technology, Government of India.

    The Human Resource management solution,

    developed by TekMindz for the Council of Scientific

    & Industrial Research (CSIR), is running across 37

    CSIR Labs and has over 17000 employees registered.

    HRMS is also deployed successfully at DSIR. Though

    the Department of Scientific & Industrial Research(DSIR) is also under Ministry of Science & Technology,

    Government of India, it is very different in terms of

    processes from CSIR. With experience of developing

    HRMS for CSIR, TekMindz used the basic framework

    and mapped DSIRs current HR processes over it to

    develop HRMS solution for DSIR.

    TekMindz also delivered an online system for DSIR to

    automate all their internal processes including file

    stacking and their various schemes. This helps the

    department to keep a track of all their processes underwhich DSIR grants money to different organizations.

    The online System captures the basic operations of HR

    and the ICT based operations related to the new

    processes setup for the Organization transformation.

    The solution facilitates Process Automation, Process

    Activity Monitoring, Manpower Dashboard, Fund

    tracking & Report Generation.

    Contributing to improved public service

    delivery for the Government of India

    TekMindz designed, developed & implemented

    INSPIRE Scheme Program for the Department of

    Science & Technology (DST) under the Ministry of

    Science & Technology, Government of India.

    INSPIRE is an innovative program sponsored andmanaged by the Department of Science & Technology

    for attraction of talent to Science. The basic objective

    of INSPIRE is to communicate to the youth of the

    country the excitements of creative pursuit of science,

    attract talent to the study of science at an early age

    and thus build the required critical human resource

    pool for strengthening and expanding R&D.

    TekMindz automated INSPIRE scheme which included

    online submission of forms, internal file processing

    within the department, mapping the internalprocesses on work flow etc. This helps DST keep a

    track of all their processes under which department

    grants money to different students registered under

    different categories.

    TekMindz developed an Electronic Queue

    Management System (EQMS) for Delhi State

    Cancer Institute, under the Government of National

    Capital Territory (NCT), Delhi.

    Delhi State Cancer Institute (DSCI) is anindependent and autonomous institution

    established by the Government of NCT of Delhi for

    providing comprehensive management facility with

    the latest and most advanced techniques all under

    one roof for cancer patients. The Queue

    Management System, with inbuilt intelligence,

    helps assign patients across various OPDs and

    Doctors calling unit (to manage patient by the

    doctors), Administer and view the overall situation

    of all OPDs with respect to patients assigned to

    each OPD etc. LCD panels are installed to viewoutput of Queue Management Application

    (displayed on the LCD panels). The solution also

    enables Bar-coded Patient card generation &

    issuance of Token based on the scanned card.

    SUSTAINABILITYTekMindz developed a Cloud based

    platform for managing charge network

    stations for Greenlots - who are one of the

    leading providers of electrical charging

    networks and have installations all across

    the globe. Greenlots offers both charging

    stations as well as charging station

    networks.

    The solution enables the setting up of

    charging infrastructure for EVs (Electric

    Vehicles) at home, at work or in public

    places which helps make the grid more

    efficient and save consumers time and

    expense. They provide low cost networked

    solutions that give car park owners,

    employers, municipalities, utilities,

    automotive and other businesses the

    ability to own and operate their own EV

    charging network for slow, medium and

    fast charging.

    TekMindz not only implemented the solution

    but were also involved in the requirement

    discovery phase. The solution was developed

    on pluggable architecture, allowing easy

    adoption of new specification without

    changing the core product. The design also

    caters to the need of implementing devices

    interfaces with different communication

    mechanisms such as SOAP, REST, Web

    sockets, Reverse HTTP etc.

    We are now involved in developing of the

    next version of SKY platform called SKY 3.0.

    The new platform is an integrated solution

    based on open EVSE standards that can scale

    and adjust as the industry evolves over next

    number of years.

    INSIDEAs big data makes its transition from a nascent stage of

    exploration to becoming a major driver for IT spending

    for enterprises across industries, organizations are

    increasingly understanding more about big data and the

    value it can potentially deliver to their business.

    Enterprises are already going beyond the early stages of

    experimentation and preliminary evaluations of what big

    data is and do they really need it. CIOs and CTOs are now

    beginning to address the case for acceptance and

    evaluate critical concerns associated with the adoption of

    big data. They are measuring the deliverable benefits for

    adding big data to their information management and

    analytics infrastructure and evaluating the skill-sets and

    structural changes it would require.

    Phenomenal growth in data structures is causing

    significant business disruptions - creating massive

    technological, organizational and in many instances,

    industry wide transformations. As this phenomenon

    progresses and data becomes more and more complex,

    traditional form factors of data processing will fail in

    providing sufficient insights, limiting critical decision

    making. Big data addresses these limitations andtraditional restrictions by warranting information

    processing of a vast array of new and existing datasets in

    new and innovative ways. The big data phenomenon will

    - unquestionably, majorly affect organizations, associated

    resources and information & analytics infrastructure. And

    to drive real business value from large, varied datasets,

    businesses will be required to draw a strategic focus on

    information infrastructure. Businesses must create an

    articulated strategy for their big data initiatives to

    address the challenges associated with not only the

    technological critical factors but, also, the appropriatealignment of their big data initiative with the desired

    organizational outcomes.

    TekMindz is helping business understand how they can

    ride the big data wave and turn new forms of information

    into a powerful tool for competitive differentiation.

    TekMindzs traditional Business Intelligence and

    Information Management offering comprises of

    Business Intelligence, Performance Management,

    Analytics, Planning & Reporting, Dashboard creation,

    Financial Planning & Forecasting, KPIs and scorecards.

    Working in close synergy with leading technology

    vendors including IBM and Microsoft, we facilitate

    creation of Data Warehouse as well as MDM

    implementation and exploit advanced capabilities

    such as Online Analytical Processing (OLAP), Data

    Mining & Text Analytics and Business Analytics

    solution catering to organizational needs of

    Descriptive Analytics as well as Prescriptive Analytics.

    PROTECTING Applicationsecurity &Risk

    ManagementSecurity is one of the prime concerns for all internet

    applications. As web applications become more

    complex, and verification & validation of software

    applications becomes a catalyst for speed to market,

    agility and reliability - in addition to cost effectiveness -

    security testing is becoming a key enterprise concern.

    Data is multiplying each day. As more and more vital

    data is stored in web applications and the number oftransactions on the web increases, robust security testing

    of web applications is becoming an enterprise

    imperative. Security testing is the process that ensures

    that confidential data stays secure and is not exposed to

    unauthorized individuals/entities.

    TekMindz delivers a comprehensive portfolio of

    application security and risk management

    solutions. With advanced security testing and a

    platform managing application risk, our testing

    portfolio delivers both the security expertise and

    the critical integrations with application life cycle

    management that help enterprises to not just

    identify vulnerabilities but also reduce overall

    application risk. Our application testing portfolio

    includes advanced static (white box) and

    dynamic (black box) analysis as well as innovative

    technologies that keep up with the latest threats

    and drive precise actionable results.

    As more and more vital data is stored in web

    applications and the number of transactions on the

    web increases, proper security testing of web

    applications is becoming very important. Security

    testing is the process that determines that

    confidential data stays confidential (i.e. it is not

    exposed to individuals/entities for which it is not

    meant) and users can perform only those tasks that

    they are authorized to perform (e.g. a user should

    not be able to deny the functionality of the web

    site to other users, a user should not be able to

    change the functionality of the web application in

    an unintended way etc.).

    At TekMindz, we enable organization in

    overcoming the key challenges in application

    security and tackle different factors that affect web

    application security to create secure and reliable

    software applications.

    Emerging business technology trends such as

    big data, analytics, in-memory computing

    and integrated ecosystems will drive changesin the management and mindset of

    infrastructure and operations (I&O). The

    architecture of big data systems will require IT

    operations teams to look for new

    management tools and procedures. The

    growing business needs for real-time

    actionable analytics will require organizations

    to become more adept at delivering

    resources on demand. These strategic

    technology trends have the potential to affect

    individuals, businesses and IT organizations inmany ways. In some cases, the impact of the

    trends will radically change the status quo in

    terms of current technology, IT processes or

    business processes - resulting in significant

    cost and disruption. At the same time, these

    technology trends bring new opportunity for

    strategic business advantage for early

    adopters with the potential for significant

    market disruption in the coming years.

    With such a transforming market landscape,

    enterprises will continuously seek new and

    innovative ways, formulate strategic designsand coordinate planning efforts to support

    business transformation initiatives.

    Technology is acting as a key driver for

    business process owners, and change agents

    within the business to strategize in order to

    undertake transformation and balance

    process standardization and innovation to

    achieve transformational business results.

    So, at TekMindz, we are driving technology asenabler to enhance business capabilities and

    enable enterprises in combining processes,

    key resources, competencies and critical

    information to drive rapid positive change

    and in turn deliver consistent value to their
