The digital transformation of CPG and manufacturingCloudera, Inc.
Both CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) and manufacturing industries face similar challenges: in order to differentiate and innovate, they need to draw insight from the one thing they both have in abundance - data. The source of the data may be different; the opportunity is always innovation and differentiation. For CPG, forever changing buyer expectations must flow into product development and sales. For both CPG and manufacturing, Industry 4.0 promises improved efficiency, lower costs, and higher revenues. Becoming data-driven is the key for both industries and requires clever combination of machine learning, analytics and cloud for success.
In this webinar, business strategist Frank Vullers will discuss how Cloudera's platform is central to this century’s industrial revolution: the digital transformation of the CPG and manufacturing industries.

1) The document discusses how traditional businesses are facing challenges from digital disruption and increased costs from legacy IT systems. It argues that conventional transformation approaches are too slow and expensive.
2) A new, digital-first operating model is proposed that emphasizes cloud-based IT ("as-a-service"), agile processes, and data analytics to reduce costs, increase revenue and adapt quickly to changes. This helps lower the cost/income ratio compared to traditional approaches.
3) Taking the entire IT infrastructure to the cloud can reverse capital expenses, lower overall costs through pay-per-use and give more flexibility to scale, enabling businesses to better compete and transform in disruptive digital markets.
Beyond CIO - Will there still be Architecture Management in 2025LeanIX GmbH
Ralf Schneider from Detecon explored the future of the CIO at EA Connect Days 2018 in Bonn. CIOs have to manage two main challenges: Cost/efficiency vs innovation/agility. His hypothesis is that operational IT skills will be increasingly less important while the skills to orchestrate the eco system.
The document discusses how every company has become a software company due to digital transformation. It provides examples of companies like Ford, Dreamworks, and Fedex that have transformed their traditional businesses into technology hubs by embracing innovation. These companies build and own sophisticated software that drives key functions and creates new revenue streams. The document advocates that enterprises must undergo an organizational transformation to develop internal technological capabilities and build strategic partnerships to facilitate digital transformation and become software product companies.

6 Dimensions of Quality Management MaturityLNSResearch
Learn about the different dimensions of quality management maturity in this presentation given by LNS Research's President and Principal Analyst, Matthew Littlefield, to a group of life sciences executives.
Reinventing Life Sciences: How emerging ecosystems fuel innovationIBM in Healthcare
Persistent disruptive forces in life sciences now threaten traditional business models over the medium to long term. While high rates of return and strong performance may have masked these forces in the past, today they must be recognized and addressed. Organizations need new ways to continue to thrive despite such hurdles.
This latest research study by IBM Instritute of Business Value in collaboration with the University of California, San Diego and Oxford Economics, led to a target innovation model that can guide organizations to discover operational efficiencies, nurture new growth and get positioned more strategically in the new life sciences and healthcare ecosystem.
Cloud computing promises to fundamentally transform the global life sciences industry. But most life sciences organizations have only just started to understand the power of cloud to not only drive efficiency, but also to redefine collaboration, partnering, and business models.
Life sciences organizations are hungry for the capabilities that cloud can deliver, to meet new competitive pressures and ever-expanding consumer expectations.
This new IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) Cloud point-of-view (POV) for the life sciences industry explores the opportunities and implications of cloud computing for global life sciences companies. It provides a roadmap to formulate and execute cloud strategies.
We present an economic framework to understand and manage platform growth. This builds from a model of network complements and two sided markets. The intuitions help set prices, openness, and features to absorb into the platform. The intuitions also help shape the transition from a traditional business model to a platform strategy.
Presented at the IBM executive education summit July 27, 2011.
1. A platform business model builds value by consolidating customers onto a shared platform and simplifying market processes to reward all participants in the value network.
2. Successful platform models leverage network effects by increasing in value as more users and developers participate, and employ openness to attract developers to expand the platform's functionality through applications and services.
3. Platform businesses generate profits both directly from usage as well as indirectly from the "long tail" of applications and services developed by third-parties that add value to the overall platform ecosystem.
The document discusses platform business models and digital ecosystems. It defines a platform business model as one that builds value for multiple sides in a market by consolidating customers and simplifying processes. Examples of digital platform businesses include desktop operating systems, game consoles, and payment systems. The document outlines that platform businesses are built on network effects, and their openness is critical. It also discusses how platform models can generate profits through first and third party usage and build digital ecosystems through virtuous cycles of competition and collaboration.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

+ The “last mile” is normally sub-contracted to local providers
+ Getting the service & reliability to all sites is a challenge
+ Constantly monitor & assess performance against SLAs
+ Review circuits continually for local improvements
The challenges with network service
46
47. + Work with your network provider, monthly service reviews
+ Many will upgrade circuits for no additional cost as
new technology becomes available
+ Introduce circuits that are not “capped” and will “burst”,
allowing you to use more data, start with lower bandwidth!
+ Asses the benefits of WAN acceleration appliances
The good news on network service
47
48. + Start with applications
and services that are
already WAN sensitive
like Active Directory,
Exchange (DAG groups)
and telecoms (call
managers)
+ Then move onto
business applications
like ERP and more
proprietary apps like
LIMS
+ Build in fail-over
+ Provide local equipment
for performance and
short-term survivability

49. + By focussing on high
quality data centres on
the network and
improving access for all
sites…
+ …you can rationalise &
centralise key
applications and provide
access to these services
to all business units/sites
+ Anything you host is
available for all sites
applications like ERP,
and LIMS, reducing the
barrier to entry for small
business units

+ Host centralised redundant call managers, leased or co-lo
+ Gateways from each site to the nearest call manager
+ Bridge mail/video using SIP
+ Put internal voice traffic across the private network
+ Mobile telephony approaches
+ Reduce costs look for a global deal that

Programme Title: Swiss DC Exit Decommissioning Programme Period From 10/10/2015
Phase/Stage: Delivery Period To 17/10/2015
Overall Project RAG and Summary Status Green
Overall programme status Green, as no issues or risks currently exist that will have a material impact on the overall timeline or agreed costs at this stage
(although a need for EMKA parallel running into March will have a material impact if confirmed by Rex).
Infrastructure Assessment documents continue to be being produced in line with the programme plan: SQL Server and OpenVMS documents reviewed and
issued for sign off; Network Management Server document in internal review. Sync jobs split so they complete within the allotted weekday and weekend
copy windows (N.B. There is a current concern around the copy execution windows being sufficient – to be reviewed once WAN acceleration is in place).
SSA (Wave 2a): 12 applications have been decommissioned; 3 applications have issues which are being actively investigated (Chromeleon, Flo One Analysis
and Spectrum ES). CSA Wave 2: ABACUS decommissioning process completed. CSA Wave 3: EMKA Infrastructure Assessment document reviewed and issued
for sign off.
