May 11, 2009 marked a special day for the Healthcare Division. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO) awarded AEQUOR Healthcare the “gold seal” certification after a thorough audit of business processes, files and documents. The certification will place both the Nursing and Allied units a notch higher in the healthcare industry. It will open a lot of staffing opportunities in hospitals, long term care, nursing and rehab facilities.

The preparation started in February when Thad Dufelmeier, an RN and an independent consultant came to meet with the healthcare teams. The JCAHO Committee was formed with Carla Greenidge and Geselle Torres for NY, Arlene Ansay for NJ and Vicky Sanchez for Allied. Preparations were rolled out, nurses and Allied staff were informed to complete all requirements, files and contracts were reviewed, and all major business processes were evaluated. Sarah Bunales and Brandon Norman were in close coordination with the Thad and the committee to ensure that all points are covered and all the timelines are met.

Everybody was uptight during the audit. The office was quiet and everybody was in pensive mood. It was not until around 3:30 pm when Manmeet and Kamal stepped out of the conference room to announce the good news. Then everybody jumped and the mood became euphoric and victorious.

It was time to celebrate so the whole Healthcare team with Thad, Vanna (Thad’s assistant) and Hilda trooped to Cheesecake Factory and everybody was treated to a sumptuous dinner, desert and some cocktails. Manmeet and Kamal joined the team and toasted to a successful day.

Everyone felt triumphant and relieved and was just happy to celebrate the fruits of hard work.

The certification by the Joint Commission was once an aspiration, but due to the tireless efforts of the Healthcare team and the support of the whole organization, that aspiration has now come into fruition and will set the tone for all future endeavors. Way to go Healthcare Team!

The largest election in history, involving more than 700 million voters, has resulted in the victory of India's ruling alliance, led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of the Indian National Congress. The massive vote, was held between April 16 and May 13 2009, staggered across five phases for logistical and security reasons.

Total voter turnout was approximately 60 per cent, the national election commission said, up slightly from 58 per cent in the last national vote in 2004.

The newly-constituted Congress Parliamentary Party’s (CPP) representative Manmohan Singh will be sworn in for a second term as the Prime Minister of India on 22nd May 09. Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party chief, was unanimously re-elected head of the United Progressive Alliance or UPA, the official name of the Congress-led alliance that has ruled India for five years

With a free hand, Mr. Singh is likely to open India's insurance, retail and banking sectors to greater foreign investment. The nation's pension regulator could also get proper legal standing, which would also encourage investment. And some steps might be taken to loosen labor laws.

What is CMMI
Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement approach that provides
organizations with the essential elements of effective processes. It can be used to guide process improvement
across a project, a division, or an entire organization. CMMI helps integrate traditionally separate organizational
functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes, and provide
a point of reference for appraising current processes.

CMMI Benefits
CMMI best practices enable organizations to do the following:
more explicitly link management and engineering activities to their business objectives
expand the scope of and visibility into the product lifecycle and engineering activities to ensure that
the product or service meets customer expectations incorporate lessons learned from additional
areas of best practice (e.g., measurement, risk management, and supplier management)

The day of Baisakhi marks the birth of Khalsa Panth and therefore holds tremendous significance for the Sikhs. It was on the Baisakhi Day meeting organized at Anandpur Sahib, in 1699 that the tenth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Sigh laid the foundation of Khalsa Panth and called on the Sikhs to sacrifice themselves for their community.
The Basakhi festival is celebrated to renew the pledge to exercise harmony and brotherhood, as is enshrined in Sikhism through the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib, the last guru of the Sikh faith. To celebrate the festival, the Sikhs visit Gurdwara. The beginning of the month of Baisakhi symbolizes renewal and regeneration, ripening and fruition. 
Besides, it was on the Baisakhi Day that Guru Gobind Singh administered amrit (nectar) to his first batch of five disciples, the Panj Piaras making them Singhs, a martial community. After the Baisakhi Day in 1699 the tradition of gurus was discontinued, and the Granth Sahib - the Holy book of the Sikhs was declared the eternal guide of the Sikhs.

This was the 310th birthday of the Khalsa.
Greetings to all in the Aequor Family on this auspicious day.

Like the previous one this too proved beneficial for both in as much both the teams were able to put a face to an otherwise remote contact. Samer and Warren were engaged on a one to one with resources and shared their experience over the past, providing an insight to projects in the pipeline and in the immediate future. Discussion was carried out on new skills required against technologies being introduced or to be introduced on the already strong Java Platform at Nielsen Business Media Online.
The two teams concentrated on understanding present day requirements to enhance the efficiency of the onshore-offshore model for development and further strengthen an already strong development environ. NBM team was all praise for the development resources at Aequor and openly expressed satisfaction about their work and diligence.
The Aequor team comprising Kamal Virdi, D P Singh and Ramanathan exchanged notes on the current operational aspects, improvements perceived at both ends and meeting ensuing new challenges associated with emerging business requirements, technology enhancements and adaptation. We are sure like the interaction a year ago, this too would enable opening of new avenues and increase customer satisfaction propelling growth activities at NBM and Aequor.
