Nike FuelBand or Fitbit? Pebble Smart Watch or Samsung Galaxy Gear? What are influencers saying about Google Glass seven months after its initial release? Which media outlets are the most influential in the wearable device space? These are just a few of the themes Appinions explores in this Wearable Devices Influence Study.
This influence study contains an analysis of the most influential brands, products, media and executives that are driving conversations about wearable devices. This study also drills down into the key products associated with wearable devices: smart watches, smart glasses, and health & fitness products to unveil the key influencers and extract the most resonant opinions on these issues. The insights provided in this analysis – such as knowing that the majority share of influence on the topic of wearable devices sits with just three media outlets, or knowing where each brand ranks in influence compared to competitors and why – yield actionable insights from influencers that can inform and guide marketing strategies.
This influence study was developed in conjunction with Red Consultancy for the RedTechTalk taking place in London, England on October 30, 2013.

Appinions Information Technology Influence Study_August 2013Appinions
This report explores the companies and executives who are shaping influential conversations in enterprise software.
The study is based on 60 days of data taken between June 4 and August 2, 2013. The scope of this report is based on the most compelling issues around IT, exploring the most influential topics as defined by the upcoming Interop New York conference: Cloud Computing, Big Data, SaaS, Network Infrastructure, Information Security and BYOD.
Today, customers move constantly between the online and offline worlds, using a range of devices — such as smartphones and tablets — that didn’t exist a few short years ago. Thousands of applications and dozens of social media platforms collect and transmit an unprecedented amount of structured and unstructured data, and API changes are a fact of life. The volatility of social data and the pace of change mean that tried-and-true measurement methods are no longer enough. Social data is different. This report identifies six primary approaches and includes
case studies for how organizations measure the impact of social media on revenue.

A talk about ux, trust and privacy - and how these are becoming increasing important in human-computer interaction. This connection we have with our smart-everythings, it is no longer merely about exchanging data back and forth. Our connection with computers now does revolve around values which we normally find in human-to-human relationships: understanding and trust.
We humans expect that these machines do the computing effort to understand us; smart personalisation.We also expect that we can trust these machines – and the companies behind them - to keep what they learn about us to themselves. We expect them to respect our privacy. Our security.
And as designers, we need to deliver great, personal experiences. We also need to deliver trustworthy products. We owe it to both our users and the people who hire us to actively think about privacy, and to implement privacy in the flows and designs we deliver.

Economic and Creative Disruption - Linda Yueh and Brian SolisBrian Solis
In Madrid, Spain, Salesforce and Accenture hosted economist Linda Yueh and digital anthropologist Brian Solis to share their respective outlooks regarding the impact of the global pandemic on the economy, businesses, and human behavior.
During her presentation, Linda Yueh focused on our approach to the current economic climate, offering an outlook of what the years ahead may bring, and reflected not just on how to live with the virus, but how to prosper alongside it where possible.
At the beginning of his presentation, Salesforce Global Innovation Evangelist Brian Solis emphasized that he can already see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even though his work is focused on innovation, digital transformation and the future of markets, Solis has dedicated the last two years to studying how digital transformation affects us as individuals, as human beings, and its impact on the role we play in society. “There came a time when I personally felt anxious about the daily influence of digital on my life and I wanted to explore why I felt so affected by technology and also what to do about it.”
Following is a report that summarizes the presentation of Yueh and Solis along with the conversation that ensued. The attached report includes 11 key takeaways to prosper in a post-pandemic economy.
Horizon Scan: ICT and the Future of RetailEricsson
A research report from Ericsson and Imperial College London examines how near-ubiquitous access to ICT and information is transforming relationships between consumers and retailers.
Hyperconnectivity is high on the corporate agenda.
The majority of executives believe that failure to
adapt to hyperconnectivity—the growing
interconnectedness of people, organisations and
machines that results from the Internet, mobile
technology and the Internet of Things—is the
biggest risk their organisation faces.
The 2016 North Bridge & Black Duck Future of Open Source Study marks the 10th Anniversary of this survey. The study examines open source software trends on an annual basis. Notably, the 2016 survey findings position open source as today’s preeminent architecture, the foundation for nearly all applications, operating systems, cloud computing, databases, and big data.
In terms of the strategic influence open source has on their business, respondents see it as an engine for innovation, with 90% reporting they rely on open source for improved efficiency, innovation and interoperability. The most compelling reasons cited in the survey for use of open source included flexibility and freedom from vendor lock-in; competitive features and technical capabilities; ability to customize; and overall quality.
The 2016 results also show that the rapid adoption of open source has outpaced the implementation of effective open source management and security practices. Nearly half of respondents report they have no formal processes to track their open source, and half reporting that no one has responsibility for identifying known vulnerabilities and tracking remediation.
Key 2016 Insights:
Open Source Is The Modern Architecture. Open Source is the foundation now for nearly all applications, operating systems, cloud computing, databases, big data and more.
Open Source IS the Engine of Innovation. Open Source is driving business because it facilitates faster, more agile development. This translates into quicker builds, accelerated time to market and vastly superior interoperability.
There is a new generation of companies and business models emerging. Respondents report that in the next two or three years, the business models that will generate the most revenue for open source vendors are SaaS (46%); Custom Development (42%) and Services/Support (41%).
Challenges remain: Open Source security and management practices have not kept pace with rapid adoption. In the wake of high profile breaches, there is likely to be more emphasis on security.
Participation and contribution will secure the future of open source. Investing in the open source community spurs innovation, delivers exponential value and most of all, it’s fun. It continues to grow as a key hiring and retention tool in IT shops of enterprises, governments, and startups alike.

{White Paper} Measuring Global Attention | AppinionsAppinions
There are many associations that come to mind when people hear the word, “influence.” Power. Prestige. Prominence. However, what it boils down to is the ability to capture peoples’ attention. When an individual expresses an opinion in traditional or online media, which then travels beyond its original source, that individual has managed to capture attention. How far the opinion travels, and over what networks and media, help define how much influence an individual is generating based on that opinion.
In this white paper, Appinions’ Chief Technology Officer, David Pierce and data scientist, Stewart Siu, shed light on our approach to influence from a technical point of view.

Wearables devices market and technologyKevin Huang
What is wearable technology?
Simply put, it’s technology that you incorporate into things you wear on a day-to-day basis, and it could be anything from a smart watch, augmented reality glasses, or even a personal health monitor in the form of a bracelet.
The idea is that technology will increasingly become more part of our daily lives, and it will become less intrusive, as it will be part of our clothing, and sometimes even part of our bodies!
Wearable tech presents a fascinating field to study. I have conducted some researches and hope you can also learn more about this high growth market.

Future of Marketing Influence Study (Sept. 2013)Appinions
What’s on the horizon for marketers? What strategy elements will propel companies ahead of others in the ever-changing media landscape? What strengths and skills will CMOs need to thrive? These are just a few of the questions we explore in our latest study.
In conjunction with The Future of Marketing Summit presented by Financial Times Live taking place today, this influence study explores the companies and executives who are shaping influential conversations in some of the most pressing issues driving the future of marketing. Based on the conference discussion topics, we’ve chosen to analyze the influencers and key themes in big data, mobile strategy, social media and the changing role of the CMO.
Wearable app development in 2023 involves creating applications that can run on wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers. The app should have features such as real-time data tracking, personalization, and integration with other devices. The app should also be designed for small screens, limited battery life, and have the ability to work offline or with low connectivity. Additionally, it should prioritize user privacy and security.
Wearable technology has left the realm of science fiction and landed squarely in the real world. This Spiceworks white paper, based on a recent survey of IT pros, looks at barriers and benefits to adoption of wearables in the workplace. To learn more, visit http://smbz.us/1bbIhQv
Top Trends from SXSW Interactive 2014. The Big Roundup.Ashika Chauhan
SXSW wasn’t just about one or two pieces of new tech, what it actually felt like was a glimpse into the not-so-distant future.
Trends you might of heard of like wearables, data and the internet of things are still around, but they’re beginning to grow-up and different industries are beginning to be disrupted as a result.
More than anything, the conference instilled a sense of responsibility in me. The decisions we make today, as people, as agencies and as brands will define the future we live in tomorrow.
The deck covers the most prominent trends from this year. I'd love to hear your thoughts, say hello @ashikachauhan.
Ashika Chauhan is Big’s Digital Experience Director and is passionate about creative innovation.
CHALLENGE
Appinions wanted to grab the attention of the major strategic consulting firms, but as a small start-up, the team struggled to get the attention of the key decision makers at those firms. Over the span of several months, all attempts to get in front of that set of influential companies failed.
SOLUTION
The Appinions Data Journalism Group seized a timely opportunity to create unique content based on influencer insights that would feature strategic consulting firms and evaluate their growing influence in marketing and IT services. Industry conversations surrounding recent acquisitions by key consulting firms spurred an interesting discussion that Appinions sought to leverage for marketing purposes.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
