Beware of the Dark Side of Personalized Customer Experiences via the Internet
of Things
Personalization has long been the holy grail of marketing. Simply stated,
communicate the most relevant offer to the right person and you will increase
sales. To achieve this, you must understand the individual. Consequently,
digital marketers developed many ways to gather and leverage customer
information to deliver targeted experiences.

In his session at @ThingsExpo, Lou Casal, Founder and Principal Consultant at
Practicala, discussed how the Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated our
ability to monitor behavior, gather even more customer data and potentially
deliver outstanding experiences. Regrettably, as history demonstrates, there
are countless examples of how this can go terribly wrong. Perhaps it's time

Artificial intelligence and machine learning systems are made up of code and
algorithms, and as such, they work as fast as computers can process them.
Often this means massive amounts of learning can be accomplished every second
without stop 24x7x365. Code doesn't need to take weekends off, holidays, or
sick time. Code doesn't get tired. It can recognize complex patterns, areas
of potential improvement and problems in real-time (aka digital-time).
Given these available computing capabilities and speeds, what are executives
to do with AI and machine learning, when we live and operate in relatively
slow human-time, and work within organizations that work at an even slower
pace of organizational-time.
I believe the first step is to admit we have a problem - the problem is a
difference in the speed that computers can operate, and the speeds in which
us humans can pr... (more)

Personalization in the Age of IoT
More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of
wearables - activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and
more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no
idea what "IoT" means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be
the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users
should be.

We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it
swung toward "smart for smart's sake," and many brands remain in that corner.
But many brands are also gradually opting for more strategic approaches.
They're taking a breath and stepping back to examine both existing and
potential IoT experiences, asking themselves whether their product... (more)

How much does it cost to make an app is almost as popular a question as it is
confusing.
No one tries to learn the exact costs of, say, making a movie: people realize
that there's an overwhelming amount of variables involved on which they
depend.
But almost every day a new inquiry is posted on a tech forum, Quora, or
Reddit, as to how much it'd take to build a mobile business app.
Such calculation, in many ways, is even harder to make.
Is there a way to tackle the question properly?
First we want you to understand that any exact figures couldn't possibly be
given straight away, without the details, and that all the so-called online
app development cost calculators are, essentially, just marketing baits.
That said, there is still some info you can analyze to get a frame of
reference; to get a rough idea about a budget you can squeeze an app in.
Here's what you should ... (more)

Top Reasons Your Organization Benefits from Cloud Bursting
When it comes to cloud computing, the ability to turn massive amounts of
compute cores on and off on demand sounds attractive to IT staff, who need to
manage peaks and valleys in user activity. With cloud bursting, the majority
of the data can stay on premises while tapping into compute from public cloud
providers, reducing risk and minimizing need to move large files.

In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Scott Jeschonek, Director of Product
Management at Avere Systems, discussed the IT and business benefits that
cloud bursting provides, including increased compute capacity, lower IT

Developing mobile apps has never been an easy task. Creating a mobile app for
iOS means owning strong programming skills about Objective-C or Swift and
knowing their APIs. Android-based apps are not so different: you have to know
Java and the Android Platform and its API.
The learning curve is not fast and it includes how to create nice and
interactive user interfaces, connecting embedded features like GPS, camera,
showing maps, images and so forth.
To make it more complex, it is pretty common to connect the app with a server
where central data is saved or fetched and where other services must be
connected, like a central database, documents repository or other information
systems.
Consequently, creating a mobile app requires a team of experts able to work
with a variety of different technologies, including mobile app development,
networking, server-side technolo... (more)

IoT is rapidly becoming mainstream as more and more investments are made into the platforms and technology. As this movement continues to expand and gain momentum it creates a massive wall of noise that can be difficult to sift through. Unfortunately, this inevitably makes IoT less approachable for people to get started with and can hamper efforts to integrate this key technology into your own portfolio. There are so many connected products already in place today with many hundreds more on the horizon, that we already run the risk as enablers and supporters of not being able to effectively und...
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Dr. Robert Cohen, an economist and senior fellow at the Economic Strategy Institute, presented the findings of a series of six detailed case studies of how large corporations are implementing IoT.

The companies covered span manufacturing and services firms. He also explored servicification, how manufacturing firms shift from selling a product to offering it as a service and discussed methods you can employ to estimate how inv...
IoT is at the core or many Digital Transformation initiatives with the goal of re-inventing a company's business model. We all agree that collecting relevant IoT data will result in massive amounts of data needing to be stored. However, with the rapid development of IoT devices and ongoing business model transformation, we are not able to predict the volume and growth of IoT data. And with the lack of IoT history, traditional methods of IT and infrastructure planning based on the past do not apply either.
Organizations planning enterprise data center consolidation and modernization projects are faced with a challenging, costly reality. Requirements to deploy modern, cloud-native applications simultaneously with traditional client/server applications are almost impossible to achieve with hardware-centric enterprise infrastructure. Compute and network infrastructure are fast moving down a software-defined path, but storage has been a laggard. Until now. 
Digital Transformation is much more than a buzzword. The radical shift to digital mechanisms for almost every process is evident across all industries and verticals. This is often especially true in financial services, where the legacy environment is many times unable to keep up with the rapidly shifting demands of the consumer. The constant pressure to provide complete, omnichannel delivery of customer-facing solutions to meet both regulatory and customer demands is putting enormous pressure on organizations of all sizes and in every line of business. Fintech is a constant battleground for th...
