Apple Recent Media Coverage, Sept 2009

From its founding in 1976, Apple has billed itself as the iconoclast among high-tech companies. The company's Macintosh computers emphasized aesthetics and ease of use in stark contrast to the stodgy black boxes made by its competitors. Its iPod digital media players and iTunes stores permanently changed the way music and other media are purchased and consumed. Most recently, with the enormous success of Apple's ground-breaking iPhone, Apple has become a major player in the wireless communications sector. Still, despite its current successes, the company's history of innovation has been checkered by periods when Apple seemed to lose its sense of direction. And while Fortune Magazine hailed Apple in 2009 as the most admired company in the world, many others have expressed criticism of the company's inflated pricing, anti-competitive practices, and proprietary platforms. What are the challenges facing today's Apple? Can it sustain its rapid expansion into consumer electronics and media distribution? And what does the future hold for Apple's original computer hardware and software business? This monthly edition of TecTrends Reporter, which tracks citations to Apple across a wide array of media coverage, provides insights into these and a range of other important questions.

Market Analysis: Hong Kong Banking Update 2009

This Financial Insights report reiterates key opinions of 12 key technology executives who attended our closed-door banker's roundtable in Hong Kong. This forum is a platform for bankers to deliberate on the critical business, operational, and technology-related issues impacting their businesses. In addition to examining the issues faced, viewpoints shared, and experiences encountered by risk management practitioners, this report also reviews the future strategy and technology undertakings of the participating banks for the upcoming months ahead.

"Hong Kong is easing gently back into a recovery mode, but wary of the fragility of the economic situation, bankers are placing concerted efforts to look for sustainable business growth. Topics that currently garner mindshare center around IT optimization, distribution channels, customer centricity and analytics, and compliance and risk management, most of which are tied to the omnipresent need to manage cost and unlock more value from customer engagements," commented Li-May Chew, CFA, senior research manager, Asia/Pacific Financial Advisory Service. "Optimization sees a focus on application portfolio management to reduce the cost of maintaining business suites, with an interest in Web-delivered IT services and always with an eye on a quick turnaround on investments."
