For consumers, our live 24/7 support extends to technologies we use everyday, including hardware, software applications, devices, peripherals and networking equipment. iYogi also offers a full range of business IT solutions including managed monitoring, managed services, set-up and installation services, and incident-based services.

Green PC Service

With the current state of the global climate and increasing dependency on the computer, iYogi helps PC users reduce their carbon footprint and save money at the same time. iYogi’s Green PC service is the first in the independent computer support industry to offer customers a way to save money, conserve energy and protect the environment by optimising their PC’s efficiency. Consumers and businesses can save up to $200 per year, per desktop, in energy costs with iYogi’s Green PC application. This green application makes the computer environmentally friendly by reducing power consumption by almost 50 percent.

Your business model is similar to BPOs in India providing technical support to offshore customers. What unique values do you bring to this ecosystem that would help a potential client choose you over a competitor?

iYogi’s business model is different from traditional BPOs. Some key factors that differentiate iYogi include:

- Direct-to-consumer and -small business: iYogi delivers technical support services directly to consumers and small businesses and is a global technical support brand based out of India. Unlike traditional BPOs in India, iYogi does not provide any private label support and/ or work on behalf of large OEMs or software publishers.

How do you plan to move up the value chain in the times to come?

The growing use and penetration of the Internet and new Web-based applications has consequently opened the door to threats and vulnerabilities, which affect the system performance and ultimately lead to degrading performance. If the threats are diagnosed early on, the impact on efficiency can be minimised considerably. Currently, a user only realizes that he needs technical support once the damage has occurred and reactive methods of support are used to recover from the loss.

At iYogi, we are developing our capabilities to not only provide support when demanded, but to also monitor, pre-empt and fix threats before they can cause any damage to the computer. This will be possible only by combining technology with processes that are capable of re-defining the way technical support is delivered today.

What is your India strategy?

Technically, we are capable of servicing any geography including India. At this stage, we are looking for the right kind of partners to find access to potential customers and provide them a consolidated, 360-degree solution and services for issues relating to hardware, software, network etc. We aim to launch our India services in the coming six to eight months. Our services will offer clients a one-stop solution for all their business needs.

Canon has a decent pedigree when it comes to photography, and what do you do with photos but print them? Polaroid cameras are old hat these days so if you need quick copies of photographs while on the move portable printers are definitely the way forward. Lots of online computer support companies provides online printer support. So, no need to worry. To whit, Canon has just announced its successor to the PIXMA iP90v portable printer, namely the iP100. So what does it offer?c

For a start you'll get a compact 32.2cm x 18.5cm x 6.7cm (WxDxH) frame weighing around 2Kg (although that figure is probably sans-battery) which while hardly light, isn't so heavy as to make the PIXMA iP100 impractical to carry around. On the printing front Canon boasts a maximum 9,600 x 2,400 dpi, a 50 second (10 x 15cm) photo print time, 15.6ppm monochrome and 11.2ppm colour print speeds.

As well as a battery pack, the PIXMA iP100 adds to its portable credentials with an optional Blue tooth adapter, enabling compatible cameras and cameraphones to print wirelessly. There's even infra-red for those stuck in the dark ages and a PictBridge port for plugging cameras directly into the printer. Also available is a car cigarette lighter adaptor for on-the-road charging.

According to Canon, 290 pages can be printed from a single charge of the battery.

If you have £199 or £249 to hand for the battery-free and battery-fitted versions respectively, Canon will be pleased to take your money come mid-May when the PIXMA iP100 is scheduled to launch.
