Local Search in India with AskLaila

Local Search in India with AskLailaLocal search needs a lot of help, and it's only begun its long journey to power local searchers to find their destinations. There is Google Local, Ask Local, Yelp, and Yellow Pages. Now India joins the game with a new social search platform called AskLaila.

The name might not be striking for residents, but the startup is currently focusing on dishing out local searches for Bangalore citizens, covering reviews, local service ratings, shopping destinations, restaurants, events and lifestyle results. AskLaila plans to get the service out to another 22 cities in India, and has a financial backing to get the job done in the next little while.

IBM's hosted apps land in India

india hospitalHospitals are willing to upgrade systems and spend revenue on software applications and Big Blue is never too shy to come to the rescue.

Mid-size hospitals in India are now seeing new IT initiatives as a way to gain a competitive advantage against the larger more well known facilities. It's suggested that there was a $300 million untapped hospital service market available for the taking when IBM jumped in and offered up their hardware, middleware and services. The applications that IBM will provide the hospitals are revenue management applications, hospital enterprise resource planning, learning management, health insurance claims processing and performance management applications.

There are only a few hospitals in India that have successfully implemented IT solutions. There are supposedly issues surrounding choice, as well as not much understanding at evaluating different options available.
