Across the industry, many retailers were amazed to learn that detailed data on the performance of the 3rd parties on their sites existed, as they had never seen a similar report. Because these retailers are under a great deal of pressure to keep shoppers from going to Amazon, especially during the upcoming holiday shopping season, they aim to provide a superior WELCOME TO THE shopping experience by adding rich content, images, and technologies in order to better compete. As a result, for many eCommerce pros, the index not only became a valuable site performance tool, it 2019 also became a one-stop listing of the top 3rd party eCommerce technologies across multiple categories. Because YOTTAA accelerates over 1,500 eCommerce 3rd Party sites, we have the unique visibility to analyze detailed information on the performance of almost 1,000 3rd parties. Through YOTTAA’s 3rd Party Knowledge Base, our customers are able to inventory Index all 3rd parties on their sites, benchmark individual 3rd party performance, and make optimization recommendations based on knowledge from every page view. As a result, our customers can add any 3rd party to their site, regardless of their Performance Impact Rating (PIR) ranking, and still achieve exceptionally fast performance. In this year’s index, we analyzed and ranked twice as many 3rd parties over our inaugural report, providing even more information to help brands understand the impact 3rd parties can have on site performance.

    Direct Investments in the US by Indian Enterprises Setting the New Agenda

    Direct investments in the US by Indian enterprises Setting the new agenda October 2012 – December 2014 Rajiv Memani Chairman - India Region, EY Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the US in September 2014 added new dimensions to the dialogue between our two nations, and instilled renewed confidence in business leaders. The Fifth US-India Strategic Dialogue and the visit of the US dignitaries to India were amongst the other recent events that reinforced bilateral ties between the two countries. At the same time, the US President Barack Obama’s visit to India is expected to provide an additional push to Indo-US relations. From a business standpoint, the U.S has always held out significant appeal to businesses seeking to make a global impact. It is ranked as one of the world’s topmost investment destinations. Direct investments in the US by Indian enterprises, is a series launched by EY and FICCI in 2006 to unravel the lesser known story of Indian FDI into the US. Today, hundreds of Indian companies are operating in the US. They have invested millions of dollars, generated and supported thousands of jobs, and made a deep impact through their philanthropic initiatives and community engagements. These companies have shown the courage to successfully compete with their global peers on their home turf. This report is the fifth in a series, initiated in 2006, which has become a “ready reckoner” for anyone seeking to do business with and in the US. Indian investments in the US have remained strong during October 2012 to December 2014, despite global and domestic economic turbulence.

    Adobe Sign Technical Overview White Paper Adobe Sign technical overview Security, compliance, identity management, governance, and document handling Executive summary Adobe Sign is a Document Cloud solution that helps your organization deliver end-to-end digital document experiences with trusted, legal electronic signatures. Use Adobe Sign to easily initiate, sign, track, manage, and archive digital documents from web or mobile apps—or from within enterprise systems. Adobe Sign complies with many regional regulations and industry standards, and is accessible anywhere on any device. A robust cloud-based service, Adobe Sign securely handles large volumes of electronic signature (e-signature) processes, including: Table of contents 1: Executive summary • Managing user identities with capability-based authentication 2: Architecture • Certifying document integrity 4: Identity management 4: Document certifcation • Verifying e-signatures 5: Security • Logging recipient acceptance or acknowledged receipt of documents 8: Compliance • Maintaining audit trails 9: Operations 11: For more information • Integrating with your most valued business applications and enterprise systems Adobe Sign supports both e-signatures and digital signatures. E-signatures are a way to indicate consent or approval on digital documents and forms. E-signatures are legally valid and enforceable in many industrialized nations around the world. A digital signature, by contrast, is a specific implementation of an e-signature that uses a certificate-based digital ID to verify signer identity and binds the signature to the document with encryption. Adobe Sign works with digital IDs stored on smart cards, USB tokens, and cloud-based hardware security modules (HSMs). And it supports open, standards-based signing with digital IDs across desktop, web, and mobile using the Cloud Signature Consortium specification.
