Predictive Models for Arresting Attrition
Attrition is predictable to a large extent. A number of statistical and machine learning techniques are now available as part of Business Intelligence(BI) packages, to automatically discover a predictive model from past data. These techniques can be used to discover a predictive attrition model from detailed historical data about both resigned and non-resigned employees. Effective use of these BI techniques to build accurate attrition prediction models require analytics expertise and extensive experimentation, for tasks such as data cleaning, feature selection, dimensionality reduction, exploratory analysis, algorithm selection, parameter tuning and use of domain knowledge. Once learned, this model can be used to predict (for example, for the next quarter) individual employees with high risk of attrition. Having a highly accurate predictive attrition model at their disposal can help the HR in the above tasks. Read details and case study.
Delivering Value from Resume Repositories
Several technologies such as natural language processing, text-mining, data-mining and information retrieval, are quite mature and can be applied toprocessing and analysis of resume repositories. This paper suggests that organizations should build the right set of resume processing and analysis tools that can deliver high-quality information and insights to their recruitment, talent management and skilldevelopment cells. These tools should respect candidates’ privacy and comply with data privacy laws. Building a central system, which may be called ResumeCenter, supported by a powerful analyticalengine, can deliver all services related to processing and analysis of resumes to various users and systems across an organization.

A Smart Grid Framework - Position & Quantify the power of your solution
This paper examines various components of the Smart Grid Vision. It examines the vision statement, and outlines a systems view, a maturity model and a conceptual model. It offers a framework that will help solution-creators map their solutions, in order to quantify the impact these can have on consumers and in realizing the smart grid vision. The paper provides a sample mapping of TCS smart grid solutions in order to illustrate this framework and helps all stakeholders gain greater clarity on the smart grid space.
This paper attempts to define such a framework that will help a smart grid initiative identify the addressed smart grid capability, the target client in the supply demand chain and the possible benefits to the client. The framework is assisted with metrics to quantify the success of the initiative both in terms of enabling grid control and automation and in terms of the achieved end use of such control and automation.

Greening Data Centers
Today,big data centers can consume enough electricity required to light up a small town, and alarm bells have begun to ring. There are costs to drive down, carbon caps to worry about, power consumptions to limit. Quite suddenly the data center manager has a new set of issues to contend with. While data center greening can be handled at different levels, starting from the design of the building to the kind of equipment that is acquired, how much can we do with what we have?
This paper discusses saving and optimizing with the existing infrastructure in a typical data center where spanking new hardware resides with legacy systems. It considers practical issues while generating a solution framework and solution options based on the framework. Read More...
Water: Use IT wisely
Many organizations ranging from local municipalities to international bodies are concerned with the conservation of a precious resource: water. Water scarcity occurs not only due to lack of physical availability of water but can also be economically induced due to the lack of an infrastructure that can supply water in a cost effective manner. Thus, there is a pressing need to efficiently manage available water and its delivery. It makes for ecological responsibility as well as business sense: better managed systems can reduce wastage, make way for equitable distribution as well as drive down costs. Given that IT has helped several industries optimize their operations, this paper discusses how IT can optimize a water delivery system. The solutions proposed here are innovative, and are being deployed by some pioneering water management units. Read More
TCS Innovation Forum: Cloud Computing
This paper is based on the discussions at the fifth edition of the TCS Innovation Forum. We now hold the TCS Innovation Forum in TCS’ major markets: North America, Europe, and Asia. We all have questions. We each have some of the answers to these questions. Collaborating, sharing experiences and expertise can make us more effective. Therefore, we are committed to co-innovation. In fact, the Innovation Forum is where TCS’ Co-Innovation Network(COIN)™ comes to life. You, our customers and partners, are really at the heart of this. In this edition, we discuss two subjects most on the minds of today’s CIOs and CTOs: Cloud Computing and Digital Media. This paper captures ideas from the panel discussions on Cloud Computing.
