Why Indian companies can't give laptops so that I can work from home. I came all the way to office and found that the backend systems are down. Such a big waste of time! My company(better not name it here) even though is a technology services company, still I find it so non-technical in all the ways. To even get a pencil, I need to fill up a form. Can you believe that! Such a waste. and more than waste so embarrasingly non-technical thing to do! Means, shouldn't we have technical ideas flowing out of every part of the company, so that it creates an environment where people can think out of the box and imagine what has not been done before and innovate and truly deliever technical ideas? Just to give an example, few weeks back, I came to office on weekend and forgot to bring my I-card. Can you believe me that thay didn't allow me to enter the office! They had no system in place to verify if I was an employee of the company. No database, no other security authorization. A technology company does not have technology in place to verify my identification! Is this the impression one would like to give to the prospective client?
Compare this with my last company. Everything and anything there was done online at the click of the mouse. All the applications were web-enabled, with single sign-in.
During my year long stay in that company, not even once I had to move out of my desk to get anything done. Simply impressive. This company has a Arvind mills showroom within the campus and to show the company's technical capabilities, it developed RFID based system for this store. This goes in a long way to create an impression about the company and shows the eagerness of the management to develop technical capability within the company and show it to the prospective clients.
