The document proposes developing an information portal dedicated to industry analysts to provide real-time access to Compaq data and the ability to interact with Compaq personnel virtually. A survey found 91% of analysts supported the portal idea. The portal would include product information, executives' contact details, press releases and allow registering for updates. It aims to streamline information provision and improve Compaq's standards in industry analyst relations globally. A phased implementation schedule is outlined. The conclusion is that analysts strongly support the portal to aid research and understand Compaq's strategy.
Community Systems - How Site Selectors Use Geographic Information SystemsBen Wright
This document summarizes a webinar about how site selectors use GIS to evaluate communities for potential business locations. It discusses trends in site selection, the site selection process, and recommendations for what economic development organizations should include on their websites and GIS systems to better serve site selectors. Key recommendations include providing detailed property and demographic data, maps of utilities and transportation infrastructure, and integrated prospect proposals using GIS data. Attendees were offered a free assessment of their current GIS system or website to identify improvements.

The document discusses the rise of APIs and their role in liberating data. It notes that more data is now created in two days than was created from the dawn of civilization until 2003. APIs allow organizations to expose their data and capabilities to developers, fueling innovation. This can help companies transition to platform business models and create new revenue streams. The document outlines different types of data sources and discusses challenges around data quality, flows and monetization that APIs and analytics can help address. It provides examples of large companies that have built successful ecosystems by adopting API strategies.

As many industries, banking is undergoing a fundamental change because of the software revolution. No longer are banks competing only on interest rates and having the best traders, these days customer experience and having the best engineers are the focus. In this changing world, banks compete with new start-ups, the so-called Fintechs, and with large platform organisations such as Google, Facebook and Apple. At ING, we believe that staying ahead of the game means changing how we interact with our customers, no longer a traditional model of waiting for the customers to come to the bank through our website or apps, but to actively reach out to the customer with information that is relevant to him or her in order to make their financial life frictionless. Many of these changes are driven by reacting to all events that are relevant to the customer, and using streaming analytics to be able to reach out to the customer in milliseconds after the event occurs. Apache Flink is key for ING to achieve this. This presentation addresses how ING approaches the challenge, the role that Apache Flink plays, and the consequences regulations have on how we work with Open Source in general, and with Apache Flink (and data Artisans) in particular. This keynote takes place at Kino 3.

Analytical Innovation: How to Build the Next Generation Data PlatformVMware Tanzu
There was a time when the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) was the only way to provide a 360-degree analytical view of the business. In recent years many organizations have deployed disparate analytics alternatives to the EDW, including: cloud data warehouses, machine learning frameworks, graph databases, geospatial tools, and other technologies. Often these new deployments have resulted in the creation of analytical silos that are too complex to integrate, seriously limiting global insights and innovation.
Join guest speaker, 451 Research’s Jim Curtis and Pivotal’s Jacque Istok for an interactive discussion about some of the overarching trends affecting the data warehousing market, as well as how to build a next generation data platform to accelerate business innovation. During this webinar you will learn:
- The significance of a multi-cloud, infrastructure-agnostic analytics
- What is working and what isn’t, when it comes to analytics integration
- The importance of seamlessly integrating all your analytics in one platform
- How to innovate faster, taking advantage of open source and agile software

This presentation aims to address how we can leverage existing services and available partnerships in transportation, consider new and emerging technologies, and determine strategy for what’s to come in transportation, including connected and autonomous vehicles. While it may be a huge challenge to solve transportation problems with Big Data, it can help us make better travel decisions today and plan for better infrastructure tomorrow.

Industry Analyst Information Portal
Compaq EMEA Industry Analyst Relations
July 2001
3. The Vision
● To develop a world-first Information Portal dedicated to industry
analysts making Compaq even more accessible to this key audience
● The Information Portal will providing a virtual work-space for industry
analysts to rapidly access real-time data about Compaq on any
issue and interact with Compaq personnel from anywhere in the
world
● The Information Portal will also be an invaluable source of
intelligence for Compaq enabling the company to build a highly
detailed overview of the global industry analyst community
● Locality will no longer be an issue for industry analyst relations

appropriate medium to gain access to data for their reports
● Many of the competition have developed industry analyst sections
on their corporate websites, and the industry analyst community is
increasingly relying on the web as a central research tool for their
reports
● Compaq has the opportunity to truly raise the standards of online
analyst relations through the use of leading edge technology and
understanding of industry analyst requirements
6. Research Methodology

● Cambashi
● Canalys
● Datamonitor
● Forrester Research
● Ideas International
● International Data Corporation
● Macarthur Stroud International

researchers with reports
“We would value a site which provided information on the European market,
specifically what products are being sold, and any other detailed information
that would benefit the analyst community.”
Brian Norris Associates
“The key thing is access to all EMEA press releases, all local country press
releases, forthcoming analyst events, and all information about key

providing access to Compaq executives and AR managers around
the world
● Respondents consider it currently difficult to precisely assess who
the right contact should be for any particular research they are
carrying out

relevant and up-to-date contact points available to us, as well as the usual
press releases and product information.”
