Growing up hybrid: Accelerating digital transformation Cynthya Peranandam
Hybrid cloud is the de facto state of IT. Two-thirds of organizations that blend traditional and cloud infrastructures are already gaining advantage from their hybrid environments.
However, leaders among them use hybrid cloud to power their digital transformation, going beyond cost reduction and productivity gains. What’s more, these leaders are using
hybrid cloud to springboard to next-generation initiatives such as Internet of Things and cognitive computing, aiming to disrupt and capture new markets.

Next gen tech for business and telecom service providers
Raman Singh, Chief Innovation Officer, Cloud Connect
CloudConnect is a DOT Licensed Virtual Network Operator offering a lot more than just India’s first PBX on Mobile for SMBs. CloudConnect gives you the advantage of a comprehensive, and secure mobile-first Business Communication Systems which include cloud PBX system, Business IP phone service, and Unified Communications and Collaboration for small businesses.
This presentation will cover:
Emerging trends: How CloudConnct can help
CloudConnect’s offerings
UCaaS:sensible, effective, and immediately deployable
Customization, verticals, and ecosystem
CloudConnect platform Architecture
Product overview and unique value
Omni-Channel and voice bot examples
Auto-config, auto scaling, self-healing
The advantages of UC for businesses, employees, customers and busuiness partners are well-known. UC empoweer them to communicate anytime, anywhere, using any device. However, many companies beleive that implementing a unified communications solution will prove too expensive for their limited budget and require replacing their whole infrastructure.
From CTAM Business Services Council: For small-and medium-sized U.S. businesses, moving computing operations out of the server closet and into what is broadly branded as "the cloud" is now a cornerstone IT strategy, offering cost, flexibility and speed advantages. Encompassing varying combinations of communications, infrastructure and software services that rely on remote computing systems connected over broadband networks, the business cloud computing movement has demonstrated tremendous marketplace momentum.
Service providers including telcos, mobile network operators (MNOs), mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), Internet service providers (ISPs) and even Web hosts are finding it more difficult to increase or even just maintain their average revenue per user (ARPU) as fixed
and mobile voice revenues decline and data usage increases exponentially.
This white paper looks at some of the challenges facing service providers and the opportunities that mobile Cloud computing offers to mitigate these challenges.
The paper then reviews some recent innovative mobile Cloud offerings from service providers.

Enterprises are opting for flexible solutions that also offer additional features at lower prices compared to traditional conferencing solutions
Accelerating Monetization of M2M/Connected DevicesCartesian
The M2M market is in a significant growth stage, with the opportunity concentrated in select use cases in enterprise verticals. Recent trends show innovation and growth drivers in M2M solutions, however, cost, network standards, and customer knowledge are still issues. In this presentation, Cartesian gives an overview of the monetization opportunities within the M2M ecosystem and reviews developments in the M2M market. It also identifies and analyses key enablers, inhibitors, value chain participants, use cases, and considerations for network operators and other emerging players.
Cartesian reviews recent operator activity in over-the-top communications. What opportunities exist in fixed and mobile? Which strategies should be considered?
With cableco B2B revenues expected to quadruple by the end of this year, it’s no surprise that forward-thinking agents increasingly are opting to add cablecos to their portfolios. In addition to offering competitive and innovative services that suit an agent’s bottom line, cablecos present agents with benefits such as state-of-the-art infrastructure and established market presence. And with the demand for telecom services growing and the traditional telco market shrinking, cablecos are stepping in to satisfy the needs of a burgeoning market with whom, oftentimes, cablecos already have an established relationship. Whether it’s their robust offerings, their cost savings, or their trend-setting services, cablecos now “have emerged as the logical choice” for agents, Channel Partners reports.

How do organizations in Europe view their cloud investments? Are they realizing the true potential of cloud to drive innovation at scale? Learn these answers and other findings in this brief.

Cloud Adoption in Capital Markets: A PerspectiveCognizant
For the financial services industry, the adoption of cloud services has become a viable business directive. As firms work to recoup their losses from the recent financial crisis, pay-as-you-go cloud services allow them to focus more on strategic, innovative and revenue-generating endeavors and less on managing routine IT activities and the supporting infrastructure.
Although cloud is widely recognized as a technology
game changer, its potential for driving business innovation remains virtually untapped.
Indeed, cloud has the power to fundamentally shift competitive landscapes by providing a
new platform for creating and delivering business value. To take advantage of cloud’s
potential to transform internal operations, customer relationships and industry value
chains, organizations need to determine how best to employ cloud-enabled business
models that promote sustainable competitive advantage.
There is currently a 30percent/ 70percent split between public and private cloud engagements; however, over the next two years, respondents see the use of data and information produced by cloud customers more than doubling, with a corresponding decrease in exclusive internal use.
Most consumers are open to sharing, communicating and contributing
directly with manufacturers; indeed, this is rapidly becoming an
expectation. Brands have an open platform to do so through digital and
mobile channels and can no longer afford to be one step removed from
the consumer. The journey is just beginning, and it’s anyone’s game.
