The European finance minister will be meet in the Brussels to the work on the second bailout for the Greece. It is expected to be the similar in the size. As the French banks have indicated that they may do, it is many economists that is still won’t be enough, it is the banks that were expected to share some of the burden.  The others was loosing there privileges, they must avoid the country’s collapse with the very effort  this is base in the Prime Minister George Papandreou . In the outside that people protesting, it is truly suffering, the others was losing their privileges. NO one else must never be suffer in the sequences of the collapse.

    Across the heel of the United Kingdom the summer lightning, thunder and drenching rain have remove. At the Lords and the Oval and tennis at Wimbledon, the cricket deluge. On a half-hour delayed start ,women’s quarter-finalists Marion Bartoli and wildcard Sabine Lisicki played on. The clip of the ball on their rackets has drowned. The hundreds of Environment Agency and other emergency staff was on standby, this is because of the flashing-flooding from the downpour. In the other place the whole of Kent and most of the London have been affected by a course of the storms.  Norman Baker the railways minister, asked Network Rail ” explain why passengers were stranded on Monday in “very uncomfortable conditions” after overhead power lines on trains between East Anglia and London overheated during repairs.” Norman baker said “We need the railway to be resilient, especially with the possibility of climate change causing more extremes of temperature in the future. I am asking Network Rail to explain to me what happened yesterday and what steps they are taking to try to prevent a recurrence.” Then the spokesman for Network Rail said “There has been an assumption that everything that has gone wrong was due to the heat, but we had other problems. It isn’t right to say that the infrastructure can’t cope with the heat.” . Then the general secretary of t5he RMT transport union, Bob Crow stated “Once again this issue of investment in the failing infrastructure of the UK transport system is thrown into the spotlight. If the money ripped off by the train operators had been invested where it matters we wouldn’t be reduced to this sort of chaos as soon as the weather warms up.”.

    The firms misuse complex U.S. immigration laws to get their Indian employees to work in the United States.  The allegations of visa fraud have been a constant complaint by critics of the outsourcing industry. That’s the subject of the investigation underway now against  the Infosys.  In February by an Infosys project manager, Jack Palmer, who is still employed by the company, it started with an Alabama lawsuit filedInfosys  has denied the charges and says “it is reviewing its policies internally.”  By a grand jury in Texas for information about its use of business visas, but did not reveal details in May, the company disclosed that it has been subpoenaed.  The increased scrutiny of the industry, is hurting every major Indian IT company. and the Alabama case, and  India’s largest outsourcing firm  TCS, it is came out publicly on the issue this week, it is speaking to the one of India’s business news channels to say “the whole issue that was overblown, and that the firm would do well this year despite challenges. TCS CEO N.”   From the brokerage firm CLSA Asia Pacific, Chandrasekaran also rejected the findings of a report  this is which argued that the combination of tightened visa norms and dampened demand from the U.S., it would hurt its results this year, and that of other companies: the report said “We see the visa issue fundamentally altering the business model for Indian techs,” . As an answer to their critics Firms like TCS have been touting their robust hiring within the U.S. , but they can’t do that on a large scale without hurting its profitability.  Despite their efforts to move into higher-skill, higher-margin businesses and to look for the growth outside of the U.S and the Europe, the wage arbitrage is still a driver of profitability for these firms, In the India Real Time blog Amol Sharma note  the “growing frustration” of the Indian workers who ultimately bear the personal costs of the soaring rates of rejected visas: “Many are complaining that long delays and unfair rejections are becoming common, regardless of how scrupulously they observe laws and requirements. North Carolina immigration lawyer Murali Bashyam recounts an episode in which a U.S. employee for an Indian I.T. firm he represents traveled to India to get married and applied for a new H-1B visa while he was there. After two months of delays and harassment by immigration officials, Mr. Bashyam says, the worker was ultimately denied the visa.  “This employee has never violated his H-1B immigration status, and his employer carefully followed all relevant laws, but the employee is now stuck in India,” Mr. Bashyam writes. “This type of ‘gotcha’ immigration policy should never exist in this country.”  In this case by an employee who says he followed all the rules, the frustration  might be the thing that forces IT companies to stop pushing the boundaries of acceptable visa practice, and forces the U.S. to come up with work visa rules that are simpler and less prone to abuse. Here’s a sign that’s already happening: “In this morning’s Mint, an Indian business daily, reporters Malia Politzer and Surabhi Agarwal recounts the story of the “X” ‘  a Wipro employee who says he went along with the company’s allegedly questionable visa policies until they landed him in immigration custody and have made it difficult for him to travel to the U.S. even as a tourist. It concludes “They (recruiting companies) don’t tell you how it could affect you in the future,” said X. “Unless this happens to you personally or a friend or someone you know, I don’t think anyone is fully aware of the repercussions.”  This is the way of outsourcing in the industry which helps the company to be more active.

The General Manager of TeamNet, Bogdan Padiu told the Business Review  last year about the goal of the TeamNet.  In its future strategy, the firm has three major components, the first was they wish to grow our footprint on the international market. They want to replicate the experience that they gained in Romania on neighboring markets.  These are the markets that also want to join the EU, they will have a similar evolution to Romania.  Then the second direction is to target SMEs with the more platform, which is very important. Lastly, they will continue to develop in the corporate area, targeting large organization with private capital with our solutions.

    The TeamNet has offices in the Republic of Moldova and Brussels, Belgium.  In Turkey and Serbia, the plans are to open.  When they start the business  in a new country. They open an office with a team of four-five to establish a presence on the local market and start to learn about the local business climate.

They do sales and pre-sales in the first stage first stage under the coordination of a branch manager. The moment they start having the projects, they hire engineers, analyst and project managers to deliver on the respective market.

    The cash flow bottlenecks from the republic sector have had a negative impact on the company based from Padiu. They also have learned how to work with the state and tailor, their expectations accordingly regarding the ability to pay. They also learned to look at releases from the Ministry of Public Finances and see what is happening with the European funds and understand their internal processes in order to be able to anticipate.

    The company rule is that, they does not have bills that are more than 60 days late. They try to synchronize pretty well and anticipate in the case of projects with European funds where procedures was really rigorous.

    The TeamNet during the pre-launch stage had real clients using the platform and allowed some time to pass to get some feedback from them on improvements that needed to be made. They now think they they are ready to launch it and attract a higher number of the users.

Our company providing the best research and performance because of outsourcing, because this is the very fast growing industries in the world.

    “it will “co-operate fully” with a probe by US authorities into allegations it violated visa laws.” Indian software giant Infosys Technologies on Wednesday said.  The one of the leaders of India’s flagship outsourcing sector this is the Infosys,   said it received a notice late Tuesday from a Texas court requesting documents used to obtain visas for staff attending meetings and conferences in the United States.  The Infosys co-chairman S.Gopalakrishnan told AFP in the southern city of Bangalore.  “We have received the subpoena and are currently internally reviewing details relating to the matter,”  Gopalakrishnan said the company will co-operate fully.  To embroil India’s high-tech industry in the United States where anti-outsourcing anger has been stoked by high unemployment, the subpoena is the latest controversy.  Instead of the correct — and more expensive — “H-1B” work permits, the investigation is to determine whether Infosys used cheaper and easier-to-obtain B-1 visas for business visits,  The US State Department says “visitors require a B-1 visa if they are traveling for a “scientific, education, professional or business convention, or conference… to settle an estate, or negotiate a contract”.”   An H-1B visa allows US-based firms to temporarily employ foreign workers in certain specified occupations, in the contrast,  “The United States issues 65,000 H-1B visas a year, the department”  said on its website.  It issued after an employee filed a lawsuit in the United States alleging that the Nasdaq-listed Infosys was “improperly” using B1 visas, the subpoena. Including Infosys Technologies, at the Bombay Stock Exchange in Wednesday trade, the investors sold software shares, after news of the court notice.  The Infosys was down nearly two percent at 2,796 rupees $61.60.  It has become the world’s back office where Western firms set up call centres, number-crunching and software development outlets to cut costs.  The India, which last year held at least 50 percent of the global outsourcing market. to the United States to work at their clients’ locations as on-site technicians and engineers in what critics charge is a violation of the “spirit” of US immigration law the Indian IT firms also fly thousands of employees each year.  The sector has created thousands of jobs in the United States and is not taking them away,  India’s outsourcing industry has insisted that. Ohio state banned outsourcing of government information technology and back-office projects to locations such as India to combat unemployment, but it is last year, the United States employed by firms whose workforces are largely foreign, the US government also sharply hiked fees for non-immigrant “H-1B” work permits, in the a move hitting Indian information technology workers entering.  It said that while the Infosys may be the one of the largest visa abuser, they can hardly the only one company that misusing the visas.  Through the elaborate of the schemes. The VIsa Fraud including the misrepresentation of the reasons for the travelling was the federal felony with the ten years in the prison of the first offense.. This outsourcing helps the company to ensure that it will be strong  and success in the name of the business.
