B2B Platforms Masterclass Day : Accélérez votre transformation digitale grâce...Mirakl
Au cours des dernières années, le nombre de marketplaces B2B n'a cessé d'augmenter avec un taux de croissance annuel moyen de +14%. Aujourd’hui, le marché des marketplaces B2B représente 12 200 milliards de dollars en valeur brute des marchandises (GMV) dans le monde entier, soit plus du double de sa valeur en 2013. Ainsi, les attentes des clients en B2B sont largement influencées par l'efficacité et l'excellence des outils B2C. Près de 50% des acheteurs professionnels préfèrent se tourner vers les sites B2C pour leurs achats professionnels.
Lors de cette masterclass, Mirakl rassemble les pionniers du modèle de plateforme B2B qui aborderont toutes les conditions nécessaires afin de réussir le lancement de sa marketplace.
Nous aborderons plusieurs thématiques parmi lesquelles les règles de sélection des vendeurs tiers, l’accompagnement des clients selon leur niveau de digitalisation et les nouveaux modèles d’organisation interne à l'entreprise.
The digital revolution is driving a massive disruption in commerce. Customer demands are evolving, competition is increasing, and technology is progressing – all at a relentless pace. To stay ahead, organizations need to adopt new profit models that create value for consumers and stakeholders while still capturing value for themselves and investors.
The new digital commerce leaders won’t look like the incumbents of previous generations. They’ll achieve their success with an entirely new way of doing business: the marketplace platform model. To replicate the success of leaders like Amazon and Alibaba, incumbents across industries will need to challenge the norm and think beyond the traditional business models.
With sales on marketplace sites accounting for 52% of global web sales in 2018, the marketplace opportunity is massive. However, before organizations can fully unleash the power of the marketplace model, they need to forget everything they think they know about marketplaces.
In this presentation, Surya Saurabh and Brady Emerson from Deloitte Digital join Mirakl to discuss the impact of the marketplace model, the top myths holding organizations back from successful adoption, and the surprising ways that digital marketplaces can make an impact.
With special guests Michelle Beeson, Digital Business Strategy Analyst at Forrester and David Staunton, Head of Product Marketing at Mirakl.
2018 will be the year when retailers combine their strategies to transform the relationship they have with their customers. Omnichannel and personalisation have long been at the top of the list for any retailer wanting to maintain their position - but with online pure-players moving to have physical stores, and retailers seeking to offer more experiences to their customers, how they use these innovations will change in 2018. It is no-longer as simple as providing products, retailers now have to fight to become the destination for their customer in an increasingly crowded market.
Evolution of B2B marketplaces - How to grow your market share in manufacturin...Mirakl
B2B buyers are consumers when they’re off the clock. They want the same selection, competitive pricing, and convenience they get from shopping online for their personal purchases. In fact, 80% of B2B buyers expect it.
Today, the market for B2B marketplaces represents $12.2 trillion USD in gross merchandise value (GMV) worldwide, more than double its worth in 2013 and is made up of platform pioneers like Tetra Pak, Conrad, Metro Cash & Carry or Siemens Mobility.
The Covid-19 "digital shock" created by the lockdown and consequently economic crisis are likely to be additional drivers fostering the use of digital marketplaces in the future… and may also represent an opportunity for Barbarians to accelerate their attack of a market in turbulence.
In an exclusive webinar with Matthieu Simon, Partner at Roland Berger, Wim Borret, Business Developer at Webhelp and Brendan Walsh, EVP Sales EMEA at Mirakl will discuss the evolution of B2B marketplaces in the world with a deep dive in manufacturing and aftermarket spare parts. In this webinar, you’ll learn:
Why the B2B marketplace model is accelerating across the world
A global competitive context: how marketplaces have to deal with the digital natives (i.e. Amazon and Alibaba)
The proliferation of B2B aftermarket platforms
In today's current climate, some companies are better positioned than others to weather the storm. The way consumers shop has shifted and with it retailers must also change their business models. 30-40% of consumers plan to make their next purchases online.* Shoppers have strong values, such as ease and convenience, when choosing the retailers to continue their loyalty too.
In turn these retailers need to find a way to future proof their businesses and adapt to these ever changing consumer needs, all while maintaining growth. Join Mirakl and Publicis Sapient and hear from Afound by H&M Group who is changing the retail playbook.
In this virtual workshop you will learn:
- Digital trends that are being seen in the retail market
- The business model that has set up Afound to endure hard times and prosper
- Benefits Afound has seen since launching their marketplace

The Number One Digital Challenge Facing B2B TodayImran Choudhary

We explored the challenges faced, but equally the opportunities
and notable success stories.
Our discussion centred on what the #1 Digital Challenge Facing B2B is today, and what opportunities this may present to the new digital seller.
We also explored the importance of the user experience and the supporting infrastructure, as well as managing organisational and cultural change in the implementation of a new digital B2B strategy.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster: a step-by-step guide to success!KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Key Trends Shaping the Future of Infrastructure.pdfCheryl Hung

The key trends across hardware, cloud and open-source; exploring how these areas are likely to mature and develop over the short and long-term, and then considering how organisations can position themselves to adapt and thrive.
With each of the past 3 Ruby releases, YJIT has delivered higher and higher performance. However, we are seeing diminishing returns, because as JIT-compiled code becomes faster, it makes up less and less of the total execution time, which is now becoming dominated by C function calls. As such, it may appear like there is a fundamental limit to Ruby’s performance.
In the first half of the 20th century, some early airplane designers thought that the speed of sound was a fundamental limit on the speed reachable by airplanes, thus coining the term “sound barrier”. This limit was eventually overcome, as it became understood that airflow behaves differently at supersonic speeds.
In order to break the Ruby performance barrier, it will be necessary to reduce the dependency on C extensions, and start writing more gems in pure Ruby code. In this talk, I want to look at this problem more in depth, and explore how YJIT can help enable writing pure-Ruby software that delivers high performance levels.
