Untapped Opportunity in the world of passenger services.

H&S Ventures provides management services for the Anaheim Ducks hockey team and its home-ice venue—the Honda Center. This popular indoor arena hosts scores of events and concerts, and H&S oversees everything from ticket sales to marketing and finance. H&S’s performance is measured by attendance, big-name bookings and how much fans spend on merchandise and concessions. Digital innovation plays a crucial role in creating a thrilling live experience that raises fans’ satisfaction and their average “spend.”

Now there's an innovative new way to move enterprise applications to the public cloud while actually reducing risks and trade-offs. It's called multi-cloud storage, and it's an insanely simple, reliable, secure way to deploy your enterprise apps in the cloud and also move them between clouds and on-premises infrastructure, with no vendor lock-in. Multi-cloud storage allows you to simplify your infrastructure, meet your service-level agreements, and save a bundle.

As businesses plunge into the digital future, no asset will have a greater impact on success than data. The ability to collect, harness, analyze, protect, and manage data will determine which businesses disrupt their industries, and which are disrupted; which businesses thrive, and which disappear. But traditional storage solutions are not designed to optimally handle such a critical business asset. Instead, businesses need to adopt an all-flash data center. In their new role as strategic business enablers, IT leaders have the responsibility to ensure that their businesses are protected, by investing in flexible, future-proof flash storage solutions. The right flash solution can deliver on critical business needs for agility, rapid growth, speed-to-market, data protection, application performance, and cost-effectiveness—while minimizing the maintenance and administration burden.

Applications are the engines that drive today’s digital businesses. When the infrastructure that powers those applications is difficult to administer, or fails, businesses and their IT organizations are severely impacted. Traditionally, IT assumed much of the responsibility to ensure availability and performance. In the digital era, however, the industry needs to evolve and reset the requirements on vendors.

Today’s leading-edge organizations differentiate themselves through analytics to further their competitive advantage by extracting value from all their data sources. Other companies are looking to become data-driven through the modernization of their data management deployments. These strategies do include challenges, such as the management of large growing volumes of data. Today’s digital world is already creating data at an explosive rate, and the next wave is on the horizon, driven by the emergence of IoT data sources. The physical data warehouses of the past were great for collecting data from across the enterprise for analysis, but the storage and compute resources needed to support them are not able to keep pace with the explosive growth. In addition, the manual cumbersome task of patch, update, upgrade poses risks to data due to human errors. To reduce risks, costs, complexity, and time to value, many organizations are taking their data warehouses to the cloud. Whether hosted lo

Queste tecnologie hanno alzato il livello delle aspettative, costringendo le aziende a operare con un'agilità senza precedenti. Questi cambiamenti sono grandi opportunità, ma purtroppo ci imbattiamo anche in nuovi ostacoli che possono intralciare la nostra marcia verso il successo, come la necessità di innovare rapidamente, di minimizzare i costi e di reagire prontamente alle pressioni della concorrenza.

So, while the advertising industry is in the midst of profound change, it’s hard to be certain about the form that it will take in future. There’s good reason to be optimistic, rather than pessimistic. Firstly, as we saw earlier, the proliferation of digital platforms means that there are now more canvases for creativity than ever before. And secondly, recent discoveries in psychology and behavioural science have highlighted how human decision making – in any context – is often unconscious or non-rational. As a result, the range of problems where creative communication can offer a solution is wider than ever previously realised.

Hay cuatro formas en las que se distingue un líder de transformación digital. Descubra la ruta clara para ayudarle a transformar su negocio y descubrir la mentalidad digital y la estrategia organizacional que importan.

Las empresas de servicios públicos, en respuesta a las presiones competitivas y de los clientes, se están embarcando rápidamente en el cambio hacia la digitalización. Y si bien muchas apenas están comenzando este recorrido, otras están muy avanzadas en el proceso, experimentando con diferentes tecnologías con la esperanza de impulsar las innovaciones para que sean más ágiles, competitivas y rentables dentro de la industria.

La industria se ve cada vez más influenciada por productores especializados más pequeños que están en la delantera de una demanda emergente. Como la especificidad de la aplicación química crece, la industria se está moviendo de series de producción a gran escala hacia el incremento de la diversidad de pequeñas series de producción orientadas a lotes. Las ventas dependen del rendimiento de la sustancia, y no solo de la innovación de la sustancia propiamente dicha.

La industria de los productos de consumo está experimentando una gran transformación. Los consumidores demandan experiencias que ofrezcan confianza, alegía y protección – aunque son menos tangibles– estos son los impulsores que definirán el exito. Es por eso que las compañías de productos de consumo necesitan reimaginar todo, desde el compromiso del consumidor y las operaciones hasta la innovación de los productos. Las tecnologías emergentes como el Internet de las Cosas, Machine Learning e Inteligencia Artificial, pueden ayudar a guiar el rumbo de este cambio e impulsar el éxito del mismo.

La industria de manufactura discreta es un facilitador clave de éxito en otras industrias, es por eso que necesitan reconocer y adoptar nuevas prioridades estratégicas para triunfar. Obtener una ventaja digital requiere la adopción de nuevas tecnologías, el aprovechamiento de los datos y la optimización de los procesos de negocio necesarios para impulsar la innovación y el valor central del negocio. Nuevas tecnologías como IoT e Inteligencia Artificial pueden ayudar a aprovechar la gran cantidad de datos que generan las empresas de fabricación y convertirlos en impulsores de éxito.

Websites are indispensable for many companies to build their profits, but as the threat of cyber attacks increases, websites can also be a serious risk factor. Therefore companies need to simultaneously develop both the convenience and security of websites. This whitepaper outlines the optimal solution for smartly achieving these two aims at the same time.

DDoS attacks have long been known as the main form of cyber attack risk. “The Financial Inspection Manual” revised by the Japanese government’s Financial Services Agency in April 2015, identifies the risk of "DDoS attacks", and the need to take countermeasures is strongly emphasized. Other government agencies also acknowledge the frequency and severity of DDoS attacks. However, a clear method to completely prevent DDoS attacks has not been established yet. Why is that? What are the best measures that companies can take at the present time?

People today expect to have a compelling, interactive, and engaging digital experience. Few companies can exist without a website. In a lot of cases, the Internet is the main stream for their customers to gather information, and the performance of their website directly affects their business. So, what measures can companies take to prevent site delays and improve performance? This white paper will explain the mechanism of a CDN and points to consider when selecting a CDN service.

When it comes to delivering digital content, downtime isn’t the only concern. Today a poor user experience can be just as damaging as an outage. According to Limelight research, 78% of people will stop watching an online video after it buffers three times, and the majority of people will not wait more than 5 seconds for a website to load. Organizations looking to deliver great digital experiences for their customers often choose to deliver that content using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Using multiple CDNs to deliver these digital content experiences promises even greater levels of availability and performance. But it brings with it a host of questions. In this paper we’ll explore the 5 things you should know about multi-CDN in order to determine if it might make sense for your business.

Die Nachfrage nach Software und verwandten Services ist heute größer als je zuvor. Dieser Trend wird weiterhin anhalten und sich exponentiell steigern da alle Arten von Anwendungen in steigendem Maße Teil unseres Alltags werden. Sie als Entwickler müssen „zaubern“ können und haben die alles andere als einfache Aufgabe, diese digitale Revolution den Benutzern zu vermitteln. Neben den einzigartigen greifbaren Funktionen Ihrer Software gibt es viele Elemente im Hintergrund, um die Sie sich kümmern müssen: Ihre Anwendungen müssen hochgradig verfügbar sein, global funktionieren, nahtlos mit einer Reihe von Geräten zusammenarbeiten, sicher sein und zu angemessenen Kosten in großem Maßstab ausgeführt werden können. Diese Herausforderungen stellen sich bei einem Großteil der Software und in den meisten Branchen. Die Lösungen sind jedoch unbeständig, müssen stets neu erfunden werden, und sowohl Entwicklung als auch Wartung können schwierig und kostspielig sein.

Für Vertriebsorganisationen bedeutet die Ansprache, Gewinnung und Bindung von Kunden mehr als nur die Steuerung von Kontaktpunkten. Vielmehr zählt alles zwischen persönlichen und digitalen Kontakten dazu, und das gesamte Unternehmen sollte an der Kundenbindung beteiligt sein. Durch produktive Verbindungen und Beziehungen, die aufgebaut und gepflegt werden, können Sie das Vertrauen und Markenbewusstsein bei Ihren Kunden steigern. Customer-Engagement-Strategien beeinflussen alle Interaktionen, Prozesse und Entscheidungen – und sie sind der wichtigste Faktor für die Umsatzsteigerung. Bei einer branchenübergreifenden Microsoft-Umfrage unter Vertriebsleitern im Mai 2016 lag die Kundenbindung als treibende Kraft für das Umsatzwachstum auf dem ersten Platz, gefolgt von taktischen Treibern wie Automatisierung und Produktivität.

Expectations for Customer Service continue to rise around the globe. Customers expect more from brands when it comes to convenience, resolution times, and agent expertise. Evolving customer preferences are tightly linked to innovations in digital technology, and brands must embrace both in order to keep pace with heightened expectations. The good news is that brands that can deliver on expectations are rewarded with higher rates of customer retention and loyalty. The Microsoft 2017 State of Global Customer Service survey polled 5,000 people from Brazil, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. We continue to find commonalities along with distinct differences between locals. And though people in all age groups are embracing new digital trends, millennials especially are shaping the way brands need to think about the future of customer service engagement.
