If you are planning to invest and introduce a new Recruitment Process Automation system, it is not uncommon for you to get hassled about comparing features, advantages, quality, benefits, and prices. Immaterial of selection, your new software will play a major role in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and your Return on Investment (ROI).

How would you decide on the best recruitment software solution for your organization? In this article we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of two renowned software deployment methods, which will assist you in taking the right decision on this critical subject.

Self-hosting Software Deployment:

Self-hosting deployment is also known as Enterprise software deployment. This method is the most traditional method of using a recruitment or staffing software within an organization. What does Enterprise deployment mean?

• You purchase the software as a licensed product
• Purchase and own all of the hardware
• Servers
• Power systems
• Back up systems
• Communications
• All other infrastructure, at your location

All maintenance of the hardware, software and infrastructure is totally your responsibility including the hiring of IT staff. You will also need to pay for software maintenance, support and services to your vendor. This amounts to about 20% of the software license cost, per year.
The advantages of the ownership of the software license lets you have complete control over your data and its management. Most importantly, the system is fully secure and you can be sure that they system will not be accessed by outsiders. The only disadvantage with Enterprise software deployment is the high costs, and the TCO for this application is higher than any other application.

Software as a Service (SaaS) Software Deployment:

Also called – as mentioned in the title, Remote Hosted or more commonly known as On-Demand software. This is a subscription based model; you need to subscribe to the recruiting software, which is on servers owned and operated by your vendor at their location, and not at yours. You use the software over an Internet connection using a Web Browser or Smart Client, and your vendor is responsible for all ongoing hardware and software maintenance.

The advantages are it has a low cost of entry and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). There is also a vested vendor interest – in case of mismanagement in the application, the vendor will loose a client.

Our choice for a suitable software solution is eConn Resume Parser which is a Self-hosting or Enterprise Software deployment. It provides you with the facility to process online resumes by extracting the required data in an organized and logical manner. The added advantages are that it helps you get support on:

• Enterprise portals
• E-learning solutions
• Enterprise application integration tools
• SOA software
• Document management systems
• Project management software

The advantages with Resume Parser as a self-hosted software solution are far more useful and safer than all other software solutions, SaaS software deployments.

Although SaaS software solutions are growing to be very popular, its disadvantages are equally high as well. Some organizations find it difficult to delegate control or trust third parties to manage their applications and data. Records and reports show that many hackers have had access to important databases using SaaS software solutions.

FairUse4WM DRM stripper is a hacker utility that has the ability to crack and strip DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection from music and songs files offered by PlaysForSure-commpatible online music stores, music download sites, music subscription sites and record labels that are using Windows Media Player 10 and Windows Media Player 11 encoding protected by Windows Media DRM (WMDRM) version 10 and WMDRM 11. Current, online music stores that using PlaysForSure DRM license protection include NapsterToGo, MSNMusic, Amazon Unbox, Urge, Wal-Mart, Liquid Audio and AOLMusicNow.

When you download and play the Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV) protected with WMDRM, you’re told a license is required to play the selected content and Windows Media Player will launch WMP Digital Rights Management License Acquisition process to acquire valid license for the media from the DRM store servers. If no license can be found, you won’t be able to listen to the music song or the video.

FairUse4WM (Fair Use for Windows Media) uses a GUI version of drmdbg that supports individualization blackbox component (IBX) version .3930 and some WM11 versions and able to strips DRM headers from secure WMA files. FairUse4WM intends to enable fair-use rights to purchased media so that owners can freely copy to any devices or media. So import of KID/SID pairs is not allowed and, license expiration and rental detection is not supported. You won’t be able to unDRM any without them being licensed to you or without at least a file with active valid license.

FairUse4WM version 1.2 (new version that works around the new IBX version being pushed by Microsoft on new individualizationsfeatures) features DRMv1 support for files you ripped yourself with protection enabled, works with WM9 (individualized), includes a workaround for WM11 beta 2, subdirectory support by taking a directory as the command-line parameter, and WM10 and WM11 support.

To use FairUse4WM, download FairUse4WM. Just launch the FairUse4WM hack program to extract personally identifiable information (decryption keys) from the Media Player while playing the DRM protected media. Some WM installations have multiple ECC key-pairs where users need to do “Extract Keys” using multiple licensed files. Users may also need to individualize the system. With individualization the licenses information is stored in IndivBox.key. To individualize the system, download any demo drm video from ezdrm.com. Or go here to automatically individualization your system.

Update: FairUse4WM 1.3 Fix-2 with Mirakagi which supports Windows Media Player DRM up to version 11.0.6000.6324 in Windows XP and Vista has been released.

Windows 7 crashes are a major problem Microsoft users have been clamoring about lately. The system crashes randomly – right after login, in the middle of playing a game, while working on a file, and during web surfing, among others. Some users call this glitch the “black screen of death” where the screen of their computer will turn to black and eventually crash. The Windows 7 crash can be very frustrating, but there are ways to fix the problem.

1. Upgrade your memory or RAM. All software installed in your computer requires a certain amount of Random Access Memory (RAM) in order to run properly. Besides these applications, your operating system requires resources to run. To let these applications run smoothly without the crashing, free up some space or upgrade your memory.
2. Remove Spyware and Viruses. Make sure to always perform a scan to check for spyware and virus infections. There may be hidden and dormant malware in your computer. Delete these malicious files from your system. Always keep your computer updated with the latest virus definitions and security updates.
3. Fix Windows 7 Registry. The registry is a database which stores records of all your computer’s activities. It contains settings and options that Windows continually references during operation. Over time, more and more data are added into the registry making it congested with redundant entries. These entries are no longer valid thus causing crashes especially in newer operating systems like Windows 7.

A cleaned registry can help fix the crashing problems. This is, however, impossible to do manually because most people can’t pinpoint which registry entries are valid or not. You need to have a registry cleaner installed. This software will deep scan your registry and clean those obsolete and invalid entries. It will also create a backup before cleaning so you can always restore your registry to its original state if you need to.

By following the tips mentioned above especially the last one, you can improve your computer’s speed, optimize its performance, and completely eliminate Windows 7 crash.
