Anahata Technologies Pty Ltd was incorporated in 2010 as a privately owned software development company in Perth, Western Australia. It concentrates on the development, implementation and support of customized ICT solutions for various sectors.

The Stock Feed Industry has become increasingly competitive because of the large number of suppliers in the market. In order to gain an advantage over the competition, businesses must be able to deliver fresh produce to ensure the healthy diet of farm animals. With the current software available in the market, the Stock Feed businesses are prone to errors in stock control and distribution. Conversely, the existing software is expensive. The small and medium scale enterprises face challenges acquiring such apps because of their prices. Anahata has made a foray into the market to fill the void left by apps that are difficult to procure and maintain by offering an affordable alternative that is versatile and reliable.

Anahata delivers excellent quality software by merging tools and processes that enable clients to get involved in the development of the software. Staff is also trained on how to operate the app so that they can use it efficiently.

Conversely, the firm has embarked on partnerships with reliable software vendors to provide turnkey solutions in the fields of mobility, hosting and RFID scanning.

The fag end of 2014 was specked with amazing events, unprecedented in India's business history. It marked the next phase of mobile telephony revolution in India and saw the launch of a major mobile-based e-governance initiative.

For those born in 1990s, the first leg of the mobile revolution, which began 20 years ago with grant of mobile licences and that generated revenues of Rs 4,29,087 crore in fiscal 2014 (including Rs 1,95,294 crore telecom equipment market), doesn't mean much, except that they have personal mobile phone, an email identity and an amazing number of applications to stay connected and to play.

What will be noticed, used and appreciated by this generation are applications like MobileOne launched by the Karnataka government that promises to place governance at the fingertips of citizens. It promised to integrate nearly 600 Government-to-Citizen and over 4,000 Business-to-Customer services and make them accessible on any mobile phone, irrespective of the operator by dialling just 3 digits -161-from anywhere in the country.

When adopted by departments and undertakings of other states e-governance services could enhance transparency and meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi's goal of taking India into the top 50 nations in terms of ease of doing business by the end of 2016 from 93 just announced by Forbes and 142 assigned by the World Bank (June 2014) study.

Many of us, born before 1960s, would recall taking a long walk to complain about power-cuts and lack of water supply even in the state capitals, because we did not have a phone at home. The irony is that the ministers for telecommunications proudly stood up in parliament, session after session, during question hour to share the number of Indians on the waiting list for landline connections. What usually took 20 years is today possible in a matter of hours.

It all changed with the Telecom Policy of 1994 -- from barely a few lakh phone connections to nearly 900 million Indians connected via mobiles, from just three helpline numbers --100 for Police, 101 for Fire and 102 for Ambulance -- to an innumerable 1-800 Helpline, Consumer Care and Government Services numbers. In these 20 years, the world has changed for millions of consumers and those who serve them on these helplines.

By serving the 'Business-to-Customer' opportunity, the e-Services, also commonly referred to as 'Shared Services' has flourished -- from technical help desks to fix computer bugs, selling dematerialized securities over phone, getting a technician to fix a broken microwave or a washing machine, tele-checking for a flight to seeking a dental appointment in a Delhi hospital by calling a centralized call centre in a remote location. An urban citizen could typically be connecting with customer service agents in call centres or shared services centres on two to six occasions on any given day.

Along with a burgeoning telecom industry an entire customer service experience movement has been triggered. Conservative estimates suggest that nearly 1,50,000 to 2,00,000 young Indians employed in Shared Customer Services serve over a billion people in the domestic market alone, bringing in revenues of Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 5,000 crore. (This does not include the dedicated call centres set up by institutions like Banks).

Increasing options, cut throat competition and growth of e-commerce has changed market dynamics and there is a shift of power from the marketer to the consumer.

E-commerce firms and fulfilment agencies are already engaging with the professional shared services companies to improve service experience. Banks discourage their customers to walk into a branch by offering dedicated call centres and help line numbers.

MIAMI -

A South Florida family was looking for a kitchen makeover for the holidays. After the contractor walked off the job, the family contacted Local 10 News consumer advocate Christina Vazquez.

Local 10 brought both parties back to the table to make sure the couple got the product they paid for and learned something about the contract in this case, which a legal expert said could be a red flag for customers.

For weeks, Josephine Francois hasn't been able to cook a meal in her northwest Miami-Dade home. She and her husband signed a contract with Alex Millwork Inc. in October. The contract was for $4,500.

She paid the bulk of it, and the cabinets were delivered and installed. But following a dispute with contractor Alejandro Morlans, the job was left undone, with no granite countertops and no sink.

"I wanted my parents to have the kitchen they paid for," said her son, Mark Francis. "My dad was in disagreement with him."

His father, Francis said, misreading the contract, didn't pay the second installment.

"I went there and they refused to pay me," said Morlans.

The contractor said he captured that moment on his cellphone. That's when Francis stepped in to smooth things over.

"For the sake of argument, to ease off the process, we paid him," said Francois.

Club Penguin: Interior Decorator - Video

We would like to implore Frank and MarySkillern, the owners of a 4,250-square-foot townhouse at 127 East 62nd Street, not to sell.

The property is listed with with Douglas Ellimans Sabrina Saltiel for $9.45 million, but who other than the Skillerns, he the former CEO of American Express Centurion Bank, she an interior decoratorboth avid patrons of the artswould maintain an array of ceramic dioramas depicting Shakespearean scenes on the lighted glass shelves in the dining room? Who would keep the subterranean cabaret room, dark and shiny with marble floorsoutfitted with a PA system and a baby grandcozy with guests tapping to the tunes of Patti Lupone and Michael Feinstein, whove both performed here? Who else would hang the hallways of upper floors with original, whimsical Miros and sly Hirschfeld caricatures?

The answer is practically no one.

When we visited recently with Susan Bands, a family friend of Ms. Skillern and a broker with Marcus and Millichap who is helping with the listing, Ms. Bands shared theObservers hope that the home, whose asking price was reduced in November by $1 million, find a buyer that appreciates its current charms. For it is not just the Skillerns cultured collectibles that give the place character, and it would be a shame, we agreed, to strip away its aristocratic flourisheseven if they are a touch old-fashioned.

The stately five-story with five fireplaces, four bedrooms and a skylighted media room that opens on a cedar-plank roof deck, went up in the late 1800s. Its ornate motifs recall the wedding cake interiorsand ballgownsof DisneysBeauty and the Beast.

Made in Neo-Grec style, the home sports intricate wallpaper with repeating floral patterns, massive fluted pillars and great quantities of baroque molding and trim. There are heavy, gold-framed mirrors and hefty chandeliers. Theres a library done in red and currently lined with volumes of American history interspersed with small busts of Abraham Lincoln. One imagines the home as an ideal locale for games of hide-and-seek among a certain class of precocious, studious youngster.

None was present during our brief stay, however, but for a well-groomed, small white dog that yapped at theObserverwith the shrill admixture of pride and fear peculiar to toy breeds.

Thats enough, Gracie, Ms. Skillern told the dog, betraying a soft hint of her Southern lineage. You only need to comment.

A Ukrainian couple, who were married 10 years ago, remarried as per Hindu tradition in a simple ceremony at a goshala (cow shelter) at Neelavar village in Udupi district on Wednesday.

A retired professional Ukrainian football player, Vitaliy Hryhorovych Reva (40), tied the knot with his wife Elena Reva, an interior decorator, in the presence of their eight-year-old daughter Vasilissa, 16 Russian and Ukrainian friends, and a few local residents.

Mr. Reva wanted to wed his wife in the Hindu custom. The couple had come to receive Ayurvedic treatment here. The wedding was arranged by Ayurveda practitioner Thanmay Goswami. The groom was dressed in a dhoti-kurta and a peta, while the bride wore a sari. The rituals were conducted by priest Manjunath.

Speaking to presspersons, Mr. Reva said he had read a lot about Indian philosophy and had even applied it in his football game. He practiced Yoga daily, which had helped improve his concentration in the game. It was my dream to get married in the Indian tradition as I had read that marriages here are done by keeping fire as messenger to god amid chanting of mantras, he said.

He had asked Mr. Goswami to arrange a traditional Indian wedding. I wished to get married in the presence of cows and in a spiritual environment, he said.

Dr. Goswami said though Mr. Reva was attracted to Indian philosophy and culture, he also loved his Ukrainian culture. When he expressed his desire for a wedding as per Indian traditions, that too, in a simple manner in rural surroundings, I decided to arrange for it, he said.

Cathiana, a friend of the Revas, said she liked the ceremony. It is very impressive, she said.

Christmas has a peculiar relationship with winter. Its wintry December, but more than that its the holiday season. And as the trees become bare and the cloudy skies and chilling temperatures roll in, most of us dont notice it because of the lights and decorations, brightness and cheer of the holidays.

Then comes January 1st, the lights come down and we suddenly look around at how gray and somber everything is, how short the days are, how the lights all seem to have gone out.

Its part of the Seasonal Affective Syndrome SAD, says interior decorator Jason Jennings, an apt description for peoples moods this time of year.

So Jennings, who spends a good portion of the months of October and November putting up clients Christmas presentations, then turns around in January and decorates for winter. He takes down the things that scream Christmas like Santas and elves but keeps those snowflakes and icicles that remain appropriate through January and February.

His client Susan has an affinity for nature year-round, loving the big windows and broad views in her Indian Hills Estate home. She has filled the space with a neutral palette that is brightened up with natures colors, like grass green and sky blue.

Mostly, she wants to bring the outside in, and Jennings has done that, year-round, with bright, reflective surfaces that are also perfect winter choices. Shiny metal, mirrored finishes and glass bounce the sunlight around the house.

Some of that comes from the Christmas baubles that remain in the house after the Santas, stockings and sparkly reindeer are put away. He doesnt put the trees away in Susans house, though. The ribbons and angels are taken down, but the small white lights remain to sparkle up the greenery.

I love the tree standing in the living room with its white lights, Susan says. It was a Christmas tree, its a winter tree. It brings the outside in. Its light, its nature.

The snowflakes, garlands and stars that lit up the tree in December stay up all winter, too, because whats more wintry than a snowflake? Jennings asks. There are snowflakes and stars hanging from chandeliers, and garlands placed in bowls and dishes. The garlands lend that wintry evergreen mood to the house.
