IBM Smarter Business 2012 - 11 trender för Enterprise Mobile just nuIBM Sverige
Den mobila marknaden har så här långt mest handlat om konsumentappar, men nu ser vi flera trender mot Enterprise Mobile där organisationer önskar erbjuda sina anställda att använda applikationer när de behöver det, med deras egna mobila enheter. Och de vill helst använda de mobila enheter som passer dem själva (BYOD). Dessutom vill organisationer erbjuda sina kunder mobila tjänster och allt det här skapar utmaningar. IBM vill, som ledare inom den här marknaden, hjälpa kunder att ta rätt beslut och göra verklighet av sina visioner. Lyssna på Johannes Eltz från IBM:s huvudkontor prata om IBM:s syn på Enterprise Mobile, de 11 tydligaste trenderna.

SaaS and Cloud applications have been a huge help to businesses across the world, enabling organisations to be more productive and reducing the workload for IT departments providing complex systems – however, there is a hitch. Even though they can help individuals and departments, these systems, if they are not known about or managed, can cause serious problems for compliance, security, and bring unexpected costs.
These types of applications which are unknown to the IT department are often referred to as Shadow IT. Finding what SaaS / Cloud apps are in play is not an easy task as there are over 14,000 of them. Understanding more about what they do, how much they cost and who is using them is something every IT manager needs to get to grips with.
The most trusted, proven enterprise-class Cloud:Closer than you think Uni Systems S.M.S.A.
The Big Decision – What, when, and why?
Enterprises are aware that the Cloud is changing IT, but security and performance remain a concern. Each cloud model has potential risks: reliability, adaptability, application compatibility, efficiency, scaling, lock- in, security and compliance. Companies must select an enterprise cloud solution to suit a complex mix of applications; these decisions require great care. Uni Systems’ Uni|Cloud was built to be enterprise class. The essential reason that many businesses today are using Uni Systems Cloud for their enterprise IT, is because it offers the only enterprise-class cloud solution in the Greek market, designed for mission-critical applications, coupled with application performance SLAs and security built for the enterprise, combined with cloud efficiency and consumption-based pricing/chargeback.

So You’ve Decided to Buy Cloud, Now What? | AWS Public Sector Summit 2016Amazon Web Services
In this session, we discuss key considerations for buying cloud services so that users and organizations can extract the full benefits and power of AWS. By using a hands-on demonstration of AWS offerings, we explore how shared security, utility pricing, data location, innovative services, governance, and terms and conditions need to be approached in a procurement effort.
This will assist you in automation & digitization of your procurement process; and aid in generating more cost savings, a significant reduction of manual activities which will help you focus on strategic buying
I was wondering if this might be useful to you as well as some of our clients like Jubilant Lifesciences, Intas Pharmaceuticals, Arvind, and many others have claimed to have achieved a cost savings of up to 22%.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

How IT Pros Buy Cloud Servers
For today’s IT pros, the forecast is calling for clouds! With all the benefits that cloud servers
have to offer, the future looks bright for small and midsized businesses – especially those
who are looking to minimize capital expenditures while scaling quickly and adding new
capabilities. It’s also good news for cloud server providers – especially those who have a
differentiated product offering and a clear understanding of what cloud buyers want.
www.spiceworks.com/insights
2. Take a peek into the minds of cloud buyers.
73% of IT pros recently surveyed already use cloud servers, are planning to use cloud
servers within the year, or are actively investigating cloud servers as an alternative to on-
premise servers. But for many IT pros, one cloud server looks much like another, which
begs the question: In a commodity market, how can cloud server providers stand out from
the pack? And what exactly are today’s IT pros looking for in a cloud server provider?

Here’s what we’ve learned firsthand at Spiceworks, where over 2M IT pros come to research
products and services, interact with vendors, and make IT purchase decisions.
CLOUDY WITH A HIGH CHANCE OF SALES: HOW IT PROS BUY CLOUD SERVERS 2
3. Not all cloud buyers are created equal.
IT pros who are shopping for cloud servers are looking for the same thing – the best
solution for the money. But how they go about determining which option is “best”
depends on a variety of criteria. To help clear the air, we’ve grouped cloud buyers into
five different categories based on the things they care about most. It goes without saying
that the majority of buyers fall into more than one category. But by understanding these
profiles, you can get a clearer sense of who your potential buyers are – and where you
need to focus your sales and marketing efforts.
The “Nuts and Bolts” Buyer
This buyer cares mainly about whether or not the solution is functional
and within budget. Questions this buyer might ask:
• Can the solution support our OS platforms and run our applications? What web

providers that meet their needs. So, where do IT pros go for information on cloud server

range of resources before making a buying decision. Most of them rely on a combination

this type of research as they comparison shop based on discrete and knowable facts.

9. IT publisher content
Industry publications are another highly used source of information. IT pros look to these
websites and magazines for ratings, reviews and comparisons. These sources are often
perceived by IT pros as being more objective than vendor content. And because of its
high visibility, industry content is typically well researched and well vetted, resulting in
info that’s generally very reliable. 68% of IT pros in Spiceworks refer to IT publications
when making a buying decision.
Social/peer content
IT pros trust their colleagues and peers, so it makes sense that they seek out social IT
sites, vendor support forums, and other sources of user-generated content to research
the opinions and real-life experiences of others. Social IT sites like Spiceworks are an ideal
place to find this type of content, such as company information and product ratings and
reviews. In Spiceworks alone, IT pros can find information on approximately 100 different
cloud server companies. 65% of IT pros in Spiceworks get information from social sites as
part of the research process.
Analyst research
Industry analysts provide a wealth of comparisons, detailed information on products and
services, and financial metrics such as ROI, TCO and TCA. IT pros often use this content
to help generate a business case, but our research shows that Spiceworks IT pros (who
are primarily in SMB) rely less on this kind of info when making their purchase decisions.
Only 36% of IT pros in Spiceworks refer to industry analyst content as part of the research
process.

expand market share. Take another look at the cloud buyer profiles we showed you. Which
buyers are you hoping to attract? Which buyers best match your strengths? And which
buyers aren’t fully covered by your strategies and tactics? When a “Hot-Rod” or a “Warm
and Fuzzy” comes knocking on your virtual door, what answers will you have for them?
What about other buyers? Are there areas of your solution – or your pitch – that need to
be fine-tuned?
Finally, it might help to look beyond the four walls of your company and consider your
presence in the places IT pros trust for their research. Can these cloud buyers find you in
their favorite IT forums? Will they read about you in industry articles? Do you have options
for connecting with the buyers you want to reach? Finding ways to say Yes to these
questions can give you a winning edge over other vendors – and help you truly shine in a
cloudy marketplace!
