Business Rules Blog

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:49:06 PDT

I used to work for a company known as YASU Technologies - till it got acquired by SAP Labs India. While working at YASU as the Business Development Manager , I ran a blog about their QuickRules BRMS product. This blog is the entire collection of posts from my earlier blog @ http://usecases.brmsblog.com (http://usecases.brmsblog.com)

Been reading through some of the blogs on cricket [the game, not the animal], since this weekend is THE game - the World Cup finals! For those of you who have no clue about how cricket is played… think of it as a far more complicated version of baseball, and lets leave it at that

Whew! Its been a while since I’ve posted anything up here… My apologies for the unscheduled break in the blog - it seems to me that, no matter how many times I’ve relocated (9 times in the last 15 years!!), it just does not seem to get any easier

Just to let you guys know that I am relocating to the USA on a long-ish assignment for my employer, YASU Technologies (http://www.yasutech.com/).

I would love to meet up with any of you in the vicinity… I should be reaching Irvine late evening, 12th Feb 2007, provided the guys in immigration / customs @ LA airport let me through Have a nice week, everyone!

Recruiting visionaries from IIT???

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 21:11:00 PST

Whew! I am done with the recruitment process for the year, and am finally back in town / office!!First things first… we did follow the methodology I wrote about earlier (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=30 Itemid=55) and we did manage to recruit a few people from the Indian Institutes ofTechnology. One of the things I noticed about the successful candidatesis that all of them seem to have some kind of a hobby or the other -video games, sports, dancing, music, biking, wildlife, etc., etc. -which should keep the office an interesting place for at least anotheryear. Does the fact that we chose to select people who are good atteaming up have a bearing on the fact that everyone has a hobby? Icertainly think so…

Recruiting candidates from college: Thoughts on �What is the best interview process / approach?��

Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:47:00 PST

As mentioned here (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=32 Itemid=55) ,I am in the middle of an extremely hectic trip around the country torecruit the next generation of YASU-ites from the premier engineeringcolleges in India - the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). I amdone with IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur and IIT Roorkee - IIT Chennai, IITKharagpur, and the rest still beckon…The recruiting trip has made me think about the methodology involvedand the inevitable question - how should a small company like YASU Technologies (http://www.yasutech.com/) go about recruiting final-year undergraduates into its workforce?

Business Agility Primer: Requesting your help for AN idea�

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 20:31:00 PST

I had posted a while back on the “Business Agility Primer (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=37 Itemid=55) ”- I’d promised that I want to get it done and over with by 15th Jan…So, I have been preparing a lot of material, etc. for the primer series- things like the capabilities of BRE / BRMS, BPM, ESB, BI, ECM / CMS /DMS, etc. The basic focus was on how they can be integrated with eachother to provide far more “agility” than each one can provide by itself.
