Trends and Implications of the Berlin Telco Summit 2010
As consumer power is gaining momentum and the democratization of technology is revealing the limits of our current infrastructure, Telco Companies have a great opportunity to shape their identities by filling the void of meaning. These are the key findings of the Berlin Telco Summit 2010.
The participants of this year’s summit – 19 brand and communication strategists from 12 countries – discussed current developments in 15 different markets around the world ranging from India to Mexico. The global strategists identified two areas of conflict that Telecommunication brands should address by clearly positioning themselves, in order to meet the enormous challenges and remain relevant in people’s lives:
Consumers in Power versus Limits of Consumer Power
The growth of consumer power and freedom in the realm of Telecommunication is reflected through several developments. Most obvious is a higher degree of flexibility in terms of tariff plans, allowing consumers to tailor their own tariffs and releasing them from minimum contract terms. In the case of the UK brand giffgaff, which was launched by o2 last year, customers are even turning into the brand’s marketing managers. Smartphones and Social Media Networks are transforming into platforms for people to start their own business and to share and spread their opinion publicly.
However, there are still limits to consumer power. In many cases co-creation is reduced to advertising and communication. And the restriction of consumer power goes even further with some powerful brands establishing themselves as gatekeepers and censors such as Apple, which hit the headlines after banning certain apps from its App store, dictating what is appropriate or not.
Beyond, Social Media and Telecommunication bear great risks and dangers, with millions of people sharing their entire lives with the public, however sometimes too much of it or in a highly addictive way. And these days Social Media is unfortunately not only an agent for positive social and economic change, but also a powerful tool for the evil.
Democratization of Technology versus Limits of Technology
Smartphones and mobile Internet become available to the masses, thanks to attractive financing concepts, affordable data plans and handsets. Also many services are available to more people, e.g. pedestrian navigation, which is increasingly offered for free.
However, the process of democratization of technology poses huge challenges to Telecommunication Companies, especially in terms of infrastructure and data volumes. Thus, network quality has become a big issue again in markets with high smartphone penetration. It is picked up in communications and fuels the current trend of improving basic services and products.
These trends and observations result in two major challenges for the telecommunication industry:
Meaning is Fundamental.
Telco Companies need to develop a clear point of view of what they want to be and what they want to stand for – in the long-term, to avoid turning into replaceable commodity providers and to escape from the ongoing price competition.
Becoming more meaningful can be achieved in various ways e.g., by focussing and thus being able to champion in a few things, such as products or services, rather than averaging in many. Meaning can also be created by being good and acting as responsible corporate citizen, such as the brand “idea” in India, which addresses subjects like education, caste or health that are highly relevant to the Indian society. In order to become more meaningful, Telcos also need to redefine their relationship towards people, acknowledging and leveraging consumer power instead of restricting it and thus turning it into something that is beneficial for both, brands and people.
Innovation is Future.

Facebook of Things - The importance of End Users within M2M SystemsPeter Decker
Machine-2-machine (M2M) comes with the promise of e.g. 3-5 devices per person and brings back growth opportunities in times of wireless saturation in many countries in Europe, Asia and US.
But the classical M2M systems mainly focus on remote monitoring and control of systems and devices, the access to the M2M system is limited to trained professionals only.
How will M2M change, and how does M2M need to change, when end users become an integral part of the M2M scenarios, as in vehicle telematics, wireless healthcare or retail and automation. The end user interfaces to the system, he might own parts of the M2M system or he has strong dependencies to its successful functioning.

Lotusphere 2012 - Harnessing the Power of Enterprise Mobility Robert Sutor
It's hard not to talk to an enterprise customer these days without getting into a discussion about Mobile. By 2012, the shipment of smartphones and tablets is expected to exceed that of traditional personal computers, including laptops. Enterprise CIOs want to use these personal mobile devices to give better access to their internal data and processes for employees, as well as enabling better purchasing and support services for their customers. Complicating this is the variety of devices used, employees who wish to use their own devices at work, application level and device management, cost controls, and security concerns. In this session, Bob Sutor will discuss his views on the foundational needs of enterprises for a mobile application platform, mobile device management, and security.

Managing Data To Drive Competitive Advantage Bernard Marr
One of the most important lessons we've learned from the pandemic is just how important technology is to building robust and thriving businesses. Organizations that have prospered in the last nine months have done so by leveraging cloud computing, high-speed networks, artificial intelligence (AI), and the internet of things (IoT) to push forward their digital transformation agendas.
This paper identifies four key emerging technologies in the IT-sector that are bringing a huge shift in the way information systems are developed and used. The key technologies covered in this paper are Cloud Computing, Mobile Data Networks, Smart-Connected-Devices and Big Data. The paper adopts a holistic view of the changes brought forward by these emerging technologies and presents a detailed analysis of their current performance and future potential.
CIO Perspectives: Corporações e startups - competidores ou parceiros?Cezar Taurion
Estamos começando a ver um movimento de empresas e startups começarem a trabalhar em conjunto. São dois mundos diferentes, em seus processos, organizações e velocidade, mas um trabalho em colaboração abre um novo e fundamental campo de inovação e crescimento para as corporações. Ambos os lados tem que entender suas diferenças e buscarem conciliar seus interesses. Para as empresas, o ecossistema de startups não deve ser visto apenas como ameaça, o nós contra eles, e nem apenas um mercado onde vão comprar uma startup para incorporá-la.
A colaboração pressupõe um cenário onde ambos os lados correm riscos, mas também compartilham os prêmios. Para a colaboração entre estes dois mundos dar certo é fundamental compreender as diferenças e não forçar nenhum dos lados a emular o outro.
CIO Global Summit Rio - Desmitificando big dataCezar Taurion
Observando as iniciativas de Big data nas empresas, identificamos dois erros comuns. O primeiro é adquirir tecnologia antes de saber claramente o que vai ser feito com ela. E outro, é começar com uma montanha de dados e então tentar descobrir alguma coisa analisando-os. A questão principal é que o sucesso das iniciativas de Big data & Analytics depende primordialmente de uma clara definição da visão e escopo do problema (as perguntas que devem ser respondidas) e o consequente valor gerado, que são as respostas às perguntas e as suas subsequentes ações. Os conhecidos Vs de volume, velocidade, variedade e veracidade são meios para se chegar ao valor da visão proposta.
Shared Economy: você está preparado para esta revolução?Cezar Taurion
Já estamos visualizando um movimento de mudanças que pode ser muito impactante, mas que não estamos dando a devida atenção. É a “shared economy”. Vale a pena estudar mais o assunto.

Das cidades digitais as cidades inteligentesCezar Taurion
Se compararmos uma cidade digital com uma pessoa, seria similar a uma pessoa que sabe ler e escrever, mas é um analfabeto funcional. Apenas ter cabeamento e não usar o imenso volume de informações que trafegam nestes caminhos virtuais é ser uma cidade analfabeta digitalmente. A cidade inteligente é a que usa a tecnologia para tomar decisões mais eficientes, tornar a vida mais agradavel e sustentavel. A tecnologia passa a ser embutida nos processos, objetos, fluxos, etc, que compõem a própria cidade.
