After looking at a variety of NoSQL alternatives like MongoDB, Riak, and LevelDB, Hulu selected Redis. Describing the process, Andres Rangel, Senior Software Engineer, stated, “We chose Redis for several key reasons – it was simple to set up, had great documentation, offered replication, and allowed us to use data structures. Data structures are extremely powerful and allow us to architect solutions to many use cases very efficiently. For example, depending on the operation, we have the need to query either a specific video a user watched, or all of them. With Redis, this was easy using hashes.”

Bessemer Venture Partners' is proud to share The State of the Cloud for 2017.
As the definitive guide to the biggest trends in the cloud industry, this year’s “State of the Cloud Report” includes:
1. A Look Back at 2016
- 2016 was a marquee year for a number of reasons. First, we all remember the rocky start in February where the Cloud Market dropped 35%
- Subsequently, rebounded back to normal levels and ended the year up +15%.
- The dip in the market had two main outcomes: First, it led to unprecedented amounts of M&A (4x more than any other year and 40% of the total cloud market cap of $300B) – and second, it led to the fewest number of cloud tech IPOs since the financial crisis.
- A combination of these factors has led to the highest quality backlog of private cloud companies in history. The top 100 private Cloud companies alone represent over $100B of private enterprise value.
2. We provide a deeper look into the three top questions every private cloud CEO should be discussing with his/her executive team
- How fast should I be growing?
- How much should I burn?
- How do I scale?
3. Bessemer’s 7 Predictions for 2017
- The year of human assisted AI
- APIs will serve as the backbone for a majority of software infrastructure
- Architect for infinite scale without infinite spend
- Mobile unlocks non-desk worker productivity
- NPS everything
- Diverse teams win
- The screenless software movement
Metaverse Marketing: Games and Virtual Worlds in Product PromotionSebastian Küpers
Analysts tell us that the market for in-game and virtual world advertising is expected to grow by a factor of ten in the next five years. But this is still a new frontier and marketers are confused about what's required to reach audiences in these worlds and what they can expect from investing in this area.We'll look at the most common and the most creative approaches to reaching these cyber-citizens, highlight common pitfalls, and discuss how to measure the effectiveness of these programs.

Open Banking is disrupting the future of financial services in Australia, and we believe that it will do much more than just enhance customer experience. It will pave the way for innovative, highly personalised products; new partnerships that generate mutual value; and new business lines that create additional revenue streams.
This is an updated version of an invited talk I presented at the European Research Council-Brussels (Scientific Seminar): "Love for Science or 'academic prostitution'".
It has been updated to be presented at the Document Freedom Day 2014, during the activities organized by the Oficina de Software Libre de la Universidad de Granada (26th March).
I have included some new slides and revised others.
I present a personal revision (sometimes my own vision) of some issues that I consider key for doing Science. It was focused on the expected audience, mainly Scientific Officers with background in different fields of science and scholarship, but also Agency staff.
Abstract: In a recent Special issue of Nature concerning Science Metrics it was claimed that " Research reverts to a kind of 'academic prostitution' in which work is done to please editors and referees rather than to further knowledge."If this is true, funding agencies should try to avoid falling into the trap of their own system. By perpetuating this 'prostitution' they risk not funding the best research but funding the best sold research.
Given the current epoch of economical crisis, where in a quest for funds researchers are forced into competitive game of pandering to panelists, its seems a good time for deep reflection about the entire scientific system.
With this talk I aim to provoke extra critical thinking among the committees who select evaluators, and among the evaluators, who in turn require critical thinking to the candidates when selecting excellent science.
I will present some initiatives (e.g. new tracers of impact for the Web era- 'altmetrics'), and on-going projects (e.g. how to move from publishing advertising to publishing knowledge), that might enable us to favor Science over marketing.

Indian Mid-market SaaS companies: Forging a new path to disruptionProductNation/iSPIRT
SaaS has changed the competitive dynamics for Indian enterprise software product firms, putting them on a level playing field with their western counterparts. It has opened up new market segments, notably the small and medium sized enterprise market, whose requirements are different from those of large global 2000 businesses. These customers demand products that are less complex, plug-and-play and come at a lower price tag. This has pushed product companies catering to this segment towards a light-touch, virtually enabled model, dramatically reducing the need for close customer engagement, large field sales force, and elaborate implementation – all of which traditionally put Indian companies at a disadvantage.
Leveraging this wave, a new generation of Indian software product firms such as FreshDesk, Fusion Charts, KissFlow, WebEngage, RecruiterBox and others have started to emerge. This has created an important disruptive force in the mid-sized enterprise market. What is also interesting is that, in their pursuit for a light-touch model, these companies have evolved a unique strategy to define the product, market/sell the product and engage with customers. This iSPIRT report discusses the three core tenets of their strategy - Digital immersion, Desk marketing/selling and Cloud-based customer engagement.

DNA testing has become the "gold standard" of forensics, but linking an item of evidence to a person of interest isn't always clear cut. New open source tools allow DNA analysts to give statistical weight to evidentiary profiles that were previously unusable, letting juries weigh the evidence for themselves. This talk will discuss the Lab Retriever software package for probabilistic genotyping.

The Social Enterprise In A Cloud First And Mobile First World - SPTechConRichard Harbridge
Organizations today need to be more responsive. People are more connected than ever before. The world has become a giant network, with people sharing, learning, and making decisions on the go at every second. What if you, and every person in your company could work together, like a network? What might that look like and how might social enterprise technology play a role?
While many organizations understand the benefits social technology can provide it’s often not as clear how we can go about implementing these technologies in a way that complements our organizations investments in powerful collaborative technologies like SharePoint. SharePoint is used as an enterprise collaboration platform in almost every organization, yet many organizations are still in the process of deciding why and when they should implement some of the new social capabilities or how best to leverage Social technologies like Yammer with their current investments.
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares Microsoft’s vision for Enterprise Social and the future of work. Richard will explain how and where customers are investing in social, what is changing and important to understand, and what technology investments have been made and are being made by Microsoft to help customers connect and work in a cloud first and mobile first world.

PM WANI 3.0: Unleashing Business Innovation and Open Wireless Network Growth ...ProductNation/iSPIRT
PM-WANI has allowed sachetised access to WiFi connectivity. However, the true vision of WANI standard, where small business owners can participate as network service providers resulting in fast network growth, has not been realised. We propose the next version of the WANI standard where a more open ecosystem can be enabled to facilitate business interactions such as delegated payments and roaming, which in turn can catalyse increased user base, rapid network growth, and business innovations.
The PM-WANI framework is revised periodically, taking into account the new developments, security updates, etc. Version 1.0 was released in 2020 and this was used for the pilot deployments. The updated 2.0 specification was released in 2021 and is the current version in use.

Civil aviation has, traditionally, been based on the notion of a pilot operating the aircraft from within the aircraft itself and more often than not with passengers on board. Rapid technological innovations have enabled pilotless aircraft which can be designed for specific applications that require precision or long duration which have been considered near impossible hitherto.
These aircraft also enable applications considered dull, dirty or dangerous, in other words, tasks that entail monotony or hazard for the pilot of a manned aircraft. Such pilotless aircraft make use of a ground-based or pre-programmed automatic controllers to manoeuvre the aircraft in flight and are generally termed as drones, although a better term is Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
Traditionally, drones had been limited to military use due to high costs and technical sophistication. However, there is a far broader scope for UAS use, including, inter alia, commercial, scientific and security applications. These potential applications have driven innovations in UAS technology; especially in areas of control, navigation and energy storage; which have provided consumers with suitably small-sized cutting-edge products that are easy to operate and maintain at affordable prices. Today, due to economies of scale, consumers can purchase drones for less than a thousand rupees. Even sophisticated drones with advanced cameras and sensors are available for under fifty thousand rupees. Large aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus, on the other hand, are investing billions of dollars in building pilotless aircraft that are regarded safe enough for passenger long-distance intercontinental trips.
The main goal of building a Concept of Operations for India on the way to a thriving drone ecosystem in India was to allow consistent policymaking that would guide technological standards in the near future. We intend to establish a discussion with stakeholders and continue to improve our vision by holding Open House Sessions.

The Global Leadership Seminar is back with its second seminar on "Full Spectrum Thinking" with noted futurist Bob Johansen of The Institute for the Future.
In this video, Bob explains how Full-Spectrum Thinking provides leaders with the ability to seek clarity across gradients of possibility—while resisting the temptations of certainty. For example, medical doctors used to label people as “autistic.” Now, they say people are on the spectrum of autism disorders.
Full-spectrum thinking offers an alternative to sloppy categorical thinking that is so common today. It unlocks clarity while challenging certainty.
Bob Johansen is a distinguished fellow with the Institute for the Future in Silicon Valley. For more than 30 years, Bob has helped organizations around the world prepare for and shape the future, including corporations such as Nestle and GlaxoSmithKline, as well as major universities and nonprofits. He holds a B.S. from the University of Illinois, which he attended on a basketball scholarship, and a PhD from Northwestern University—as well as a master’s degree that focused on world religions.
The seminar was moderated by Prof. Vasanthi Srinivasan of IIM Bangalore. Prof. Srinivasan is a Professor in the Organizational Behaviour and HRM at IIMB. Her work over the last decade in the field of leadership development has focussed on building future-ready competencies.
Charles Assissi, veteran journalist, and co-founder of Founding Fuel, also joined to share his perspectives on Full Spectrum Thinking.
Please note: The seminar was organized by iSPIRT Foundation in association with NSRCEL of IIM Bangalore. This seminar series aims to bring the best of management wisdom to Indian companies and startups.

We are publishing a draft of the technical standards of the Personal Health Records (PHR) component of the National Health Stack (NHS)!
As a refresher, these standards govern the consented sharing of health information between Health Information Providers (HIPs) - like hospitals, pathology labs, and clinics - and Health Information Users (HIUs) like pharmacies, medical consultants, doctors, and so on. The user’s consent to share their health data is issued via a new entity called a Health Data Consent Manager (HDCM).
The problem today is that the electronic health records listed in one app or ecosystem are not easily portable to other systems. There is no common standard that can be used to discover, share, and authenticate data between different networks or ecosystems. This means that the electronic medical records generated by users end up being confined to many different isolated silos, which can result in frustrating and complex experiences for patients wishing to manage data lying across different providers.
With the PHR system, a user is able to generate a longitudinal view of their health data across providers. The interoperability and security of the PHR architecture allows users to securely discover, share, and manage their health data in a safe, convenient, and universally acceptable manner. For instance, a user could use a HDCM to discover their account at one hospital or diagnostic lab, and then select certain electronic reports to share with a doctor from another hospital or clinic. The flow of data would be safe, and the user would have granular control over who can access their data and for how long. Here is a small demo of the PHR system in action.
The standards in the draft released today offers a high-level description of the architecture and flows that make this possible.
India recently kicked off the Data Empowerment architecture, a framework for consented data sharing across the financial sector. This allows Nandini (Persona) to share data on her business’ regular invoices or GST payments seamlessly and securely.
Any bank or NBFC can now offer a regular stream of small-ticket working capital loans based on her demonstrated ability to repay. This is in sharp contrast to the status quo, where banks typically offer only larger loans backed by collateral. Using cash flows rather than collateral as the basis for credit is known as Flow-Based lending. Because producing collateral is a roadblock for the poorest Indians, Flow-Based lending may be their only opportunity to access the credit they sorely need for growth.
In July 2018, NITI Aayog published a Strategy and Approach document on the National Health Stack. The document underscored the need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and laid down the technology framework for implementing the Ayushman Bharat programme which is meant to provide UHC to the bottom 500 million of the country. While the Health Stack provides a technological backbone for delivering affordable healthcare to all Indians, we, at iSPIRT, believe that it has the potential to go beyond that and to completely transform the healthcare ecosystem in the country. We are indeed headed for a health leapfrog in India! Over the last few months, we have worked extensively to understand the current challenges in the industry as well as the role and design of individual components of the Health Stack. In this post, we elaborate on the leapfrog that will be enabled by blending this technology with care delivery.
White paper on the analysis of High share premium amongst Startups in IndiaProductNation/iSPIRT
High share premium is not the basis of a high valuation but the outcome of valid business decisions. This new whitepaper by iSPIRT highlights how share premia is a consequence of valid business decisions, why 56(2)(viib) is only for unaccounted funds and measures to prevent valid companies from being aggrieved by it
[Angel Tax] White Paper On Section 56 (2)(viib) And Section 68ProductNation/iSPIRT
Angel Tax (Section 56(2)(viib)) has become a cause celebre in Indian startup circles due to its broad-reaching ramifications on all startups raising capital. This paper traces the origin of this section, it's analysis, impact, how it adversely affects startups. Special mention is also made of the seldom covered Section 68 and it's used in conjunction with Section 56(2)(viib). The paper also proposes recommendations to ensure that genuine companies are not aggrieved by this while the original intent of the section is preserved.
New digital lending architecture: As Indian consumers and business go from being data poor to data rich in next 3 years, a new lending architecture which is digital, based on data footprints and using algorithms can scale up rapidly to provide credit for the underserved. This includes P2P lending. The Electronic Consent layer of the India Stack will leverage this data tsunami.
iSPIRT's Response on Digital Information Security in Healthcare Act (DISHA)ProductNation/iSPIRT
We believe that India is at a unique tipping point where only a fraction of its users have gone online, and a majority are yet to do so. Therefore, it is critical that we build the right set of protections and empowerments for these users as they enter the digital world.
It is equally important not to limit our thinking to simply “protection” of data. We must also question how we can “empower” individuals, who will be data rich before they are economically rich, with better access to their own healthcare data such that they can become more engaged participants and managers of their health care.
We welcome the proposed DISHA Act that seeks to Protect and Empower Individuals in regards to their electronic health data - we have provided our feedback on the DISHA Act and have also proposed technological approaches in this response

iSPIRT’s Response- White Paper on Data Protection Framework for IndiaProductNation/iSPIRT
It is widely known that the amount of data generated daily worldwide is rising at an incredibly exponential rate. Yet, what remains shrouded is how this data, particularly those data types concerning or generated by us, as individuals, are being used and stored by both the public and private sector. As we move into a data-driven world, it is crucial that the laws developed around Data center on the premise of both empowering and protecting the individual. In fact, the main purpose of the 4th layer of India Stack, the “consent layer”, is just this: to provide for a set of tools and utilities, as part of the Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA), that empower citizens to assert control over their data.
The Justice Srikrishna led committee of experts has released a White Paper articulating their provisional thoughts on the Data Protection Framework, and are seeking public comments on the subject. iSPIRT has submitted a formal response to the White Paper. You can also read the blog post lays out our current views regarding Data Protection here: http://pn.ispirt.in/india-in-a-digital-world/

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

We are at this generational inflection point again. Don’t expect HP/Dell/MS/EMC/Cisco/Oracle/SAP/SIs to drive this change. As usual, this will give rise to new vendors. Lots of new players will be there for some years to come.
We are sure that Cloud, Apps and Data is happening. This is not in dispute.
Part of the reason app proliferation will happen is because costs are falling.
Soon core apps will cost no more than supporting or situational apps. This is because apps are going modular… (go to next slide).
Traditional applications are gettingplatformized. On top of that, business process specific applications and data-driven task specific apps are being built. This data-enabled modularization of apps is making umbrella apps redundant. A few years back, quote-to-cash was an umbrella app. Now its many separate apps using the same data model.
These two forces – radical cost reduction and data-driven modularization of apps – are creating a flat world for apps.
In this flat world, India is rising to the surface as an innovation hub. Tell stories about FusionChars, KissFlow, EmployWise.
So apps spending will rise. Apps will bring competitive advantage to firms. Who’ll do make buying decisions for these apps? CIOs or LOBs? This is a big question. I posed this to Piyush Singh. His answer was instructive.
So apps are out there. At this time LOBs are moving quickly to bring them into the enterprise. Tell the Marketing Technologist story.
