Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) was introduced in Singapore in 1998 as a pioneering system to manage traffic congestion in the city-state's densely packed urban areas. The ERP replaced the earlier manual toll collection system and used electronic gantries equipped with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to charge vehicles based on the time of day and the level of traffic congestion in specific zones. The system aimed to incentivize drivers to avoid peak hours and high-traffic areas, reducing congestion and promoting the use of public transportation.
The ERP system has evolved over the years, incorporating dynamic pricing where rates vary depending on real-time traffic conditions. Over time, the system has expanded to cover more roads, including the expressways, and has become a key part of Singapore's smart transport infrastructure. The success of ERP has not only helped manage congestion but also set a model for other cities worldwide in utilizing technology to regulate urban traffic efficiently.

U.S. Huawei ban: A Pyrrhic victory spurring digital decolonisation
Pyrrhus of Epirus, a Hellenistic king best known for his self-destructive military campaigns, has been immortalised by the term ‘Pyrrhic victory’—a win so costly that it is actually a catastrophic defeat. His famous lament after such a battle victory, “Another such victory and we are undone,” captures the essence of a Pyrrhic victory and serves as a potent warning in today’s complex world of tech geopolitics. As we analyze the short-, medium- and long-term impact of American economic coercion against Huawei and China, more broadly, it’s worthwhile to consider whether this could turn into a Pyrrhic scenario – a short-term triumph that is actually a devastating long-term loss.
The U.S. ban on Huawei, announced in May 2019, marked a crucial pivot in the arena of tech geopolitics. This decision was made with a view to curbing the Chinese telecom giant’s escalating influence within the global Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry. Undeniably, the move has had immediate and far-reaching impacts. However, in an environment as dynamic and resilient as the ICT sector, the ban didn’t merely constrain Huawei as originally intended. Instead, it has triggered a sequence of unexpected outcomes rippling across diverse fronts. These consequences, many of which are still unfolding, stretch beyond the company itself and bring into focus the broader global tech landscape.
In the aftermath of the U.S. ban, Huawei confronted immense challenges. The ban severed critical supply chain links and even raised questions about the company’s ability to survive. However, their 2022 financials demonstrate a remarkable turnaround, evidencing their resilience amidst these adversities. For example, revenues increased to 642 billion in 2021.
To overcome these challenges, Huawei embarked on strategic shifts that could redefine the global tech landscape. Not only did Huawei launch successful new business lines, such as autonomous vehicles and cloud computing, that are less susceptible to economic coercion, the company also developed an in-house replacement for Oracle’s ERP system. This showcases not only their formidable technical aptitude but also demonstrates their adaptability and readiness to tackle immense challenges in the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Moreover, drawing from successful examples such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Slack, and Google AdSense, Huawei’s in-house ERP system may emerge as a formidable competitor to Oracle. Much like AWS, which originated as Amazon’s internal infrastructure to manage and scale their online retail operations, Huawei’s ERP system could harness its experience in managing a complex, multinational technology business and bring that to market. This would cater to companies, governments and other entities looking for efficient, large-scale solutions borne from real-world usage.
However, the U.S. ban on Huawei triggered more than just an immediate crisis for the company and questions about the future of its key American technology partners; it ignited a chain reaction that has reverberated globally. Consider European telecom carriers, many of which heavily relied on Huawei’s competitively priced and technologically advanced equipment for their infrastructure, especially for 5G rollouts. According to Reuters, Vodafone has spent EUR200 million replacing Huawei equipment in its core network while BT has spent GBP500 million removing Huawei equipment from the UK and Deutsche Telekom spent EUR3 billion removing Huawei’s 5G antennas. French carriers have even sued the government over this. Bouygues Telecom said rip and replace would cost them roughly EUR82 million, and Altice France said it would cost them even more.The ban resulted in increased costs and delayed 5G implementation, creating a substantial upheaval in their strategic plans.
This ripple effect has not stopped at Europe’s doorstep. It’s also made waves in developing nations that relied on Huawei’s cost-effective solutions for their digital expansion. Now, they are left to scramble for alternatives, which may not only be more expensive but could also slow their digital transformation journeys.
Not surprisingly, the U.S. ban on Huawei unintentionally amplified the call for digital decolonization. By revealing the fragility of an over-reliance on the American technology stack, the ban has nudged countries to rethink their tech dependencies, thereby challenging the stranglehold of American tech powerhouses. For instance, India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) initiative and Europe’s GAIA-X are fostering growth of domestic tech industries.
China, through its titan Huawei, is demonstrating robustness and adaptability, epitomized by their strides towards homegrown operating systems and semiconductor technologies. This progress suggests a reshaping of the global tech landscape, with new and traditional players striving for digital leadership.
In essence, the ban, while designed to constrain Huawei, has stirred a global shift towards digital decolonization. It’s not just a survival tale for Huawei; it’s a turning point signaling a potential rebalancing of global digital power.
While the U.S. ban aimed to constrain Huawei’s growth and influence, it seems to have inadvertently triggered a resilience that may culminate in a strategic upper hand for Huawei and, by extension, China’s tech industry. Much like King Pyrrhus, the U.S. might soon find that its ‘victory’ in curbing Huawei could come at a greater cost than anticipated. In the US, the government has allocated US$1.9 billion to replace Huawei telecommunications equipment in rural operators’ networks. Already though, applications for compensation of actual costs totalling up to US$5.6 billion have already been filed. The cost of removing Chinese equipment according to the Federal Communications Commission’s own assessment was estimated at US$5.3 billion, almost three times the budget Congress had set aside.
Rather than capitulating under pressure, Huawei is reforging itself in the heat of this crisis. Its drive to develop an in-house ERP system, a feat that few global companies have accomplished, is one such compelling signal of this resilience. This initiative, while meeting Huawei’s immediate need for a replacement to Oracle’s system, also harbors the potential to challenge Oracle’s market dominance if Huawei decides to commercialize its ERP solution, similar to the successes of AWS, Slack, and Google AdSense. Moreover, the backlash from the ban is no longer confined within the U.S.-China tech rivalry. It’s incited a global chain reaction, instigating hesitations about reliance on U.S. tech firms and inciting ambitions for digital self-reliance.
The U.S. stance on China does not necessarily reflect the views of American business. For example, Micron, a memory chip maker faces a significant loss of revenue and market share in China. Other U.S. firms, such as NVIDIA, are worried about losing access to the lucrative Chinese market, where they face increasing competition from local rivals. NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang warned that the U.S. should be careful not to alienate China, which is a key market for the technology industry. He said: “If [China] can’t buy from the United States, they’ll just build it themselves.” Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, also demonstrated the significance of China for his company’s global strategy by visiting the country and meeting with top officials. These cases illustrate the complex and uncertain implications of the U.S.-China trade war for the tech sector.
In sum, while the U.S. may have initially appeared victorious with the Huawei ban, the long-term implications suggest a different narrative. This ‘victory’ might indeed be a Pyrrhic one, as the resultant strategic adaptations, global chain reactions, and the acceleration of digital decolonization may reshape the global tech landscape to the detriment of U.S. tech hegemony.

Huawei’s US ban continues to be a terrible thing for consumers
OPINION: Four years after the US set Huawei in its sights with a flurry of sanctions, Huawei is still trying to maintain a smartphone offering devoid of Google services. The worst part is that the phones are pretty terrific, making the fact they’re difficult to recommend to the vast majority even more frustrating.
For those that have been living under a phoneless rock for the past few years, Huawei is in a bit of a geopolitical jam. The company was accused by then-President Trump of shady business practices with the Chinese government that led to it being added to something called the Entity List, essentially blocking Huawei from working with any business operating in the US.
That includes not only Qualcomm, the chipset maker of choice for a huge number of smartphones, but the likes of Intel and, most importantly, Google. This means that no Huawei phone from 2019 onwards can ship with Google services pre-installed, meaning no access to Google Play, Google-developed apps or any apps that rely on Google services in the backend.
This has forced Huawei to completely revamp its approach to smartphones with its open-source EMUI/HarmonyOS operating system based on the open-source version of Android, and it sports its own version of Google Play dubbed AppGallery.
It’s a great achievement, but four years on, it still lacks plenty of key apps used by Westerners, making it difficult to recommend to anyone but the most dedicated Huawei fans. That’s a pretty big shame as, even with the ban in place, Huawei continues to deliver some of the best smartphone technology around.
That really rang true earlier this week when I got my first chance to play with Huawei’s latest top-end foldable, the Mate X3. I’ve used a fair few foldables in my time – in fact, I’d like to think I’ve seen the vast majority of those in the Western market – but none quite surprised me like the Mate X3.
The book-style foldable is lightyears ahead of the competition with a form factor much thinner (5.3mm when unfolded) and lighter (239g) than the competition, a gapless close and one of the best hinge mechanisms so far. In a word, it’s exquisite.
The new “multi-dimensional hinge” is the result of years of R&D from Huawei, coming a long way from the crunchy hinge of its initial foldable, the Huawei Mate X. The Mate X3’s hinge is smooth with just the right level of resistance that makes it easy to unfold one-handed but not easy enough for it to come open on its own.
That hinge mechanism also allows for one of the most muted display creases I’ve seen yet, with very little hint that this is a foldable display when fully opened.
It also just feels nice in the hand, complete with a satin-like finish that perfectly rounds off the premium experience on offer.
Throw in capable cameras including a 50MP main, 13MP ultrawide and 12MP periscope, fast charging at 66W and a fairly large 4800mAh battery and you’ve potentially got the best foldable hardware around right now.
However, the fact that it doesn’t run Google Play services, doesn’t offer 5G connectivity nor the latest Snapdragon chipset – all as a direct result of the Entity List – it’s almost impossible to recommend to any but the most dedicated (and anti-Google) tech fans out there, especially with a £1,999 price tag.
It’s a similar story with the recently-announced flagship, the Huawei P60 Pro. As my colleague Max discovered when he went hands-on with the P60 Pro, the camera tech is truly next-level, sporting a 48MP main with a variable aperture that can shift between f/1.4 and f/4.0, a 48MP telephoto with 90mm zoom and a 13MP ultrawide capable of delivering impressive images like those taken on a sunset safari below.
With tech as impressive as this readily available, it’s so disappointing that most people won’t even consider using a phone that doesn’t offer access to Google Play and many popular Google-based apps that Westerners rely on for day-to-day use.
Ultimately, it’s the consumer that misses out, and we should be furious.
The Hereios are visiting a group called ”It’s a job”. My job is kind of fun – I spend a lot of my time solving puzzles. I’m an analyst on an “Enterprise Resource Planning” (ERP) system called SAP. I work with the people who use the system and with the programmers to sort problems, and to design and test new solutions.
I used my phone to take this photo while waiting to meet with an accountant who processes the company’s bank statements. Sometimes the program isn’t finishing the final processing log. Now why did that start happening?

Results of the annual HKMA Quality Award, one of the most prestigious business awards in Hong Kong, were proudly announced by Mr James Thompson GBS, Chairman of 2014 HKMA Quality Award Organizing Committee; and Deputy Chairman of The Hong Kong Management Association, during the press conference of the Award held today (Friday, 25 July 2014) at the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong.
The search for QUALITY has become the single most important force leading to organizational success and growth in both national and international markets in the new millennium. The organizations which will succeed are those that can maintain a dedication to Quality in each and every organizational function.
The Quality Award was first launched in 1991 by The Hong Kong Management Association. With this annual Award, the Association seeks not just to reward, but also bring public recognition to those organizations that have achieved outstanding standards of quality and made a lasting commitment to the process of quality management.
MALCOLM BALDRIGE NATIONAL QUALITY AWARD
The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, named after the late Secretary of Commerce of the United States, was created by the US Congress in 1987. It is the highest level of national recognition for quality performance and practices that a US organization can receive.
It is intended to spark interest and involvement in quality programmes, drive American products and services to higher levels of quality, and better equip organizations to meet the challenges of global competition.
DEMING PRIZE
The Deming Prize was instituted in Japan in 1951 by a formal resolution of the JUSE (Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers) Board of Directors in grateful recognition of Dr W Edward Deming's friendship and his achievements in promoting industrial quality control.
It has become customary in Japan for corporations intending to improve their performance in products or services to vie for the Deming Prize, not only for the prestige that goes with this honour but also to benefit from internal improvements that result from the implementation of total or company-wide quality control (TQC or CWQC) that is needed in order to qualify for the award.
EUROPEAN QUALITY AWARD
The European Quality Award was first presented in Europe in 1992 to honour the most successful exponent of Total Quality Management (TQM). To receive the Award, an applicant must demonstrate that its approach to TQM has contributed significantly over the past few years to satisfying the expectations of customers, employees and others with an interest in the company.
2014 HKMA Quality Award-SPECIAL AWARD FOR SMES
The Association introduced the annual Quality Award in 1991 to give recognition to those companies in Hong Kong which have made a lasting commitment to quality and also to provide an opportunity for companies to share with one another their experience in Total Quality Management.

Today we will learn about What is Computer Networking? Learn Networking. Basics of Networking. How Network works, Different types of network, and Advantages of the network.
What is Computer Networking?
The basic definition of Networking is connecting two or more computers is called networking. Without Networking, nothing is possible in the world. From small to big business or from small to big organization Networking is compulsory. Connect Local and Cloud devices. Like smartphones, satellites, Local areas, Wide areas, and Virtual systems or computers
Connect Single or multiple devices on the same or different network. A real example of networking is using Google.com or Download applications from Playstore or Icloud, Store our data on a cloud server or any local server without networking is not possible. Computer Networking is based on physical wires, WIFI, Different types of topologies, and radiofrequency methods. Computer Network includes Personal computers, Servers, and Networking Hardware. Networking working on Network Mediator devices like Switches, Routers, WIFI, Firewall, and Bridge.
Importance of Networking?
Networking is the main base for any organization. Without networking, nothing will work properly. Like if you are a Software Developer, Website Developer, Application Developer, Server Developer, Database Developer, or Mobile Application Developer, and if you create an application without networking not a single client will be able to use your resources.

Danielle Kerner: Welcome to xTuple, and if we can start by you guys each telling us who you are or who you are with.
David Brauner: Yea, I am David, I am from credativ Germany. So I am the executive assistant from Germany; so we are formed in 1999, so yea and I worked for credativ for ten years.
Danielle: Ten years, wow.
Carsten Meskes: My name is Carsten Meskes. I was employed by credativ recently, half a year ago. And I am also the executive assistant, but my work is just for the international part of credativ. So I am basically doing project management for the international business.
Danielle: So, what does credativ do?
David: We are a service and support company in Germany, only for the open source market.
Carsten: Yes, we do support. So, because open source tools do not have the typical support that any proprietary software has, we basically do that and do all of the main care support. So if the customer has any problem with his open source tools, his open source systems, his open source anything, we go in and help him say “ok, that’s a problem, we help you fix it.”
Danielle: You are embarking on an implementation of xTuple for your company. Tell us a little bit why you chose to partner with xTuple, why xTuple is the ERP that you selected to help run your operations.
Carsten: Um, to get into that I think to do that the best way to start is with a little bit of history here. Because our CEO did; he also partnered up with xTuple on several occasions, and he suggested us trying out to contact you guys, because we are in a dire need for an ERP system right now. So we got setup, and we did try to initiate contact. And well - first of all - we tried to write down all of our needs and all of our requirements and then hand them to you to try if you can…
Danielle: ...modify it to meet your specific needs?
Carsten: ...encompass every and all of our requirements, yes!
Danielle: So that’s kind of a neat aspect to your implementation - in particular - is you are a service-based company that is implementing xTuple ERP with some very specific requirements ... in terms of how you want to manage those projects inside of the application and how you will communicate with your customers about the status of those projects. So that’s one of the unique opportunities with xTuple -
certainly - is that out-of-the-box, it’s a very complete system, and then you have the ability - should you want - to make those enhancements you can. So, any additional thoughts? You have been here for a few days, what is your perspective of xTuple as a company and as a product?
Carsten: Um, I personally do like, well it starts with the building.
Danielle: You like the building?
Carsten: I do like your office building, being setup in an old bank. It has just a unique flare that I enjoy. I also like how leisure[ly] everyone is here ...it's just really easy, fun. and enjoyable what I’ve learned.
Danielle: Well, good. You agree?
David: Yea!
Danielle: Haha! We’re great, you agree we’re great. So really this is your first endeavor with xTuple. You haven’t used the application a lot. You’ve - as a partner though - you’ve worked on some projects around the world, and I think we are all looking forward to engaging in more of those over time
Carsten: Certainly!

(Pictured Above) Kicking Off Enterprise Resource Planning at Multan Electric Power Company: The USAID Power Distribution Program officially kicked off its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation project at MEPCO in September. Currently, existing DISCO back-office operations are incapable of providing timely information required for making effective managerial decisions. The automation of the back-office operations through an ERP system will streamline processes, improve workflow efficiency, and enable reliable and precise financial and managerial information. The event introduced the ERP implementing partner, Abacus Consulting, which further presented a high-level Implementation Plan to MEPCO senior management. The presentation, besides charting the course ahead, also highlighted the intervention’s benefits and motivated MEPCO staff to successfully implement the ERP Project.

*cough* is this thing on? *cough*
Erm, this is me, I work on the web. Well not really, but I do hang out on a lot on the net. In fact it's become an essential part of my everyday life. When I say "not really", I do use web and browser based technology to solve business problems for my customers, but most of what I do doesn't end up on the public web.
My background is the *scary echo* enterprise *scary echo*, developing green screen ERP systems -- big fat systems that big fat companies use to run their businesses. But in 2006 I decided to ditch it all and started my own business with the intent of solving the same problems, but with simpler software.
I was a pre-web internet junky while at Uni. Spending many a late night chatting to people on the other side of the world using irc, and consuming vast amounts of smut^H^H^H^H information on usenet.
I've tinkered with building web pages for a while, hanging on the fringes of the Clan Analogue collective in Sydney and Canberra in the mid-nineties. I put together my first website to promote my music about 10 years ago using Netscape Composer. Five or so years later I started building a web site for a Buddhist study centre using MS Frontpage. It was horrendous, both Frontpage and the resulting site, so I bought Sitepoint's "Designing Without Tables" and taught myself HTML and CSS. With new skills in hand I rebuilt the website by hand.
Right now, Ruby on Rails is floating my boat, and I love hanging with the Sydney rails crew. There's something about spending time with a bunch of passionate people that are smarter than me _and_ who are innately likeable that I find immensely rewarding.
So, yeah, this is me, I work on the web.
