Ibm Smart Business Overview Jimmy MillsJimmy Mills
IBM has been talking about our vision for a smarter planet for close to a year now- and working with thousands of clients - with great success and traction taking hold. Every industry is experiencing the benefits, and feeling the challenges, being presented by a smarter planet that is more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent.
An example is cloud computing: The economics driving cloud computing is not new technologies. Rather it is the combination of existing technologies with a focus on the end user. Virtualization drives higher utilization which lowers capital and operating expenses. Standardization also reduces capital and labor costs, while automation drives enhance user experience and automates many manual tasks to reduce errors and reduce the costs associated with managing an environment.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

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

Most customers spend the majority of their IT budgets as much as 3/4 on managing & maintaining their infrastructure instead of adding value. So most customers are embarking on a Journey – a Journey to Your Cloud – and it typically starts with Virtualization. In the first phase of the Journey you start out by solving problems with simple ROI wins to make things simpler and more efficient and trying to deal with things that aren’t necessarily mission-critical to your business operation, but instead things that help you run and manage your infrastructure. As you progress on the journey you start focusing on availability, scalability, and securing and protecting your information so you can focus on the IT mission critical business. Eventually you will evolve to the Public Cloud moving beyond Virtualization and this is running IT as a Service – the ability to provide users with the ability to self provision, flexibility in terms of what types of devices they use to access the information and where these applications will run in your environment.This is a journey many have embarked on, and one that most people are in phase 1 or phase 2, and few although EMC is one that is in phase 3.
With this new infrastructure –mobility of applications and data, we must consider accessibility…As you look at this transformed infrastructure, the flexibility becomes clear with dynamic mobility of applications, processing, and storage. What about access? There are now a range of end user devices…sure laptops of course, but the preferred access these days is through Smart Phones and tablets… These devices are making it into the workplace whether we like it or not. I’m sure you have been in meetings with several ipads on the table, none of which are company funded, but most likely have company data on it. IT needs to enable end user choice while maintaining control, security, and compliance. That’s what Virtual desktop infrastructure is all about. Any device, anywhere… That VDI infrastructure puts a lot of strain on a storage environment. When all the users arrive to work and boot up, that’s a lot of IO, you need a scalable storage infrastructure that can take advantage of technologies like enterprise flash, to ensure the best user experience.Infrastructure <CLICK>Protect <CLICK>Hybrid <CLICK>Analyze <CLICK>This picture summarizes the core portfolio of EMC. We can walk through elements of this in more detail later in our discussion today. On the left we see the core products that EMC is best known for providing at hi/mid/SMB markets. On the right: This new domain of Big Data. As a thought leader, we’re trying to drive an understanding of what Big Data is all about. What we’ve seen from customers is that as these data sets continue to grow in size and distribution, in terms of location and different silos of the corporation or the timeliness of the requirements, “I can't wait a week for that report, I need it right now,” that those things are driving a fundamental rearchitecting. The current solutions don’t work. I need a different architecture to go attack it, to be able to capture it, to store it, to get intelligence, to get business value from it.” And that’s what we think of as big data. It’s these attributes coming together: Scale, distribution, timelines, dispirit locations, and how can you pull that together into a new architecture that allows people to store and get value from it?New requirements for this demand extraordinary scale. Between Atmos and Isilon and Greenplum, we have the leading assets to help customers here.In the middle: the hybrid technologies to management, security, and VPlex that allow us to transition between these two worlds. RSA, trust in the cloud. We see this as the biggest stumbling block or fear or challenge that IT managers face either from the private or a public cloud perspective, so a critical area as we’re driving forward in this area.And then the key technology is data computing now with Greenplum to take advantage of data in these worlds. Greenplum is very much a net new infrastructure for people who are looking at their data warehouse or their business analytics environment today and they’re sort of stuck. It’s like a cul-de-sac where it does that stuff very well but it doesn’t scale to what they want to do in the future and thus we’re seeing customers building this net new infrastructure. In fact, many times adding it to and complementing the infrastructure that they already have. It needs to be cloud ready and expansion capable and with that, the shared nothing, MPP architecture of Greenplum, extraordinary scalability and extraordinary performance.What we’re seeing more and more in customer environments is not just about storage, it’s a complete solution. And for that, it’s also things like security, virtual appliances. We’ve measured the points of integration that we have as well as what others in the industry have. We have 75, more than anybody else. We have more points of integration across a breadth of capabilities, across our whole portfolio, for virtualized environments.
