Whois & Analysis for altairglobal.com

The Altair 8800 is a microcomputer designed in 1974 by MITS and based on the Intel 8080 CPU.

Interest grew quickly after it was featured on the cover of the January 1975 issue (published in late November 1974) of Popular Electronics, and was sold by mail order through advertisements there, in Radio-Electronics, and in other hobbyist magazines.

The designers hoped to sell a few hundred build-it-yourself kits to hobbyists, and were surprised when they sold thousands in the first month.

The Altair also appealed to individuals and businesses that just wanted a computer and purchased the assembled version.

The Altair is widely recognized as the spark that ignited the microcomputer revolution as the first commercially successful personal computer.

The computer bus designed for the Altair was to become a de facto standard in the form of the S-100 bus, and the first programming language for the machine was Microsoft's founding product, Altair BASIC.

Management consulting is the practice of helping organizations to improve their performance, operating primarily through the analysis of existing organizational problems and the development of plans for improvement.

Organizations may draw upon the services of management consultants for a number of reasons, including gaining external (and presumably objective) advice and access to the consultants' specialized expertise.

A business (also known as an enterprise, a company or a firm) is an organizational entity involved in the provision of goods and services to consumers.

Businesses serve as a form of economic activity, and are prevalent in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services allocated through a market to consumers and customers in exchange for other goods, services, money, or other forms of exchange that hold intrinsic economic value.

Businesses may also be social non-profit enterprises or state-owned public enterprises operated by governments with specific social and economic objectives.

A business owned by multiple private individuals may form as an incorporated company or jointly organise as a partnership.

Countries have different laws that may ascribe different rights to the various business entities.

A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law.

Early incorporated entities were established by charter (i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature).

Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration.

Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service is consistent.

It has four main components: quality planning, quality assurance, quality control and quality improvement.

Quality management is focused not only on product and service quality, but also on the means to achieve it.

Quality management, therefore, uses quality assurance and control of processes as well as products to achieve more consistent quality.
