Intel would now launch their new Centrino platform without HSDPA
Microprocessor market giant Intel is now expected to launch their new Centrino notebook platform without the much talked about HSDPA technology.
The company has just announced that they are no longer developing this module in collaboration with Nokia which is the world’s largest mobile phone maker.
This new Centrino platform is now likely to rely solely on Wi-Fi technology to give mobile PC users wireless Internet access.
Intel is expected to launch this new platform in the second quarter of 2007.
Intel and Nokia had originally announced their plans to work on this module in September last year. They had announced that Nokia module would be an ingredient in its improved Centrino Duo platform.
Intel spokeswoman Connie Brown spoke on this new development: “After doing further analysis, we decided it wasn’t a good enough ROI to bring that product to the notebook market now. But that doesn’t change the value proposition of Santa Rosa at all. We will continue to look into embedding 3G capability at some time. It’s certainly on the table, but we’re not ready to announce anything at this time.”

Employee Performance Management
Strategic Employee Performance Management consists of three key properties and is supported by a network of programs designed to encourage personal and professional growth within your organization.
The foundation of this process includes:
1. Managing Individual Performance: Best practices for the performance appraisal process
2. Achieving Goals: Alignment of individual goals to corporate goals
3. Developing Top Performers: Assignment of objectives to challenge future leaders
HRsmart’s comprehensive Employee Performance Management solution facilitates measurement and execution of company objectives across all levels of the organization.
The system enables Human Resources to:
* Set up workflows by job family or individual role to ensure the process is implemented consistently across the organization.
* Track milestones automatically with a quick view of outstanding plans and appraisal. Reminders can be set up at different intervals to be sent automatically to reduce manual follow-up.
* Manage corporate goal achievement so your talent management strategy produces tangible results for the executive suite.
* Automate your existing process, so you can keep the components that are proven to work in your organization.
* Report on key metrics such as completed appraisals, progress toward goals, average scores, gaps in skills and competencies.
* Identify top performers to develop succession plans, career management and promotion.
Streamlined Multi-Phased Appraisal Process is the foundation for managing performance in any organization. With a proactive plan to set employee expectations and support productivity and growth, and a system for offering proactive feedback, top performers are easily and objectively identified.
360º Feedback allows for a complete view of how employees interact with co-workers, managers, clients or vendors from their unique perspectives.
Competency & Skills Management is an important tool for developing characteristics of top performers by job family. Measuring performance and mapping it to consistent job characteristics helps employees and managers better understand areas of mastery or where improvement is needed.
With Goal Management as part of the Employee Performance Management, corporate objectives as set by the organization’s governing body become a core component of every employee’s annual plan. Goals can be cascaded throughout the organization from the top or they can be set to begin at the manager level. A complete view of the progress toward meeting goals is displayed in a wrap up for executives with automatic calculation of goal completion at every level in the organization.
Analytics & Reporting graphically displays performance gaps or accomplishments and company progress toward meeting corporate goals or objectives for executives and management.
HRsmart’s Employee Performance Management solution is a component of its full talent management application suite and can be deployed with Recruitment, Career Development, Succession Planning, Learning Management or Compensation Management to support an organization’s complete human capital strategy.
