Guide: The Complete Guide to OTT and Connected TV Marketing

With the rise of cord cutting behavior, traditional TV ad spend has been declining in lieu of over-the-top (OTT) and digital video. OTT has made TV advertising more accessible to performance-driven marketers. Beyond the clear synergies between OTT and mobile for app advertising across screens, addressable buying methods offer more sophisticated targeting with lower barriers to entry. OTT also offers deeper insight into attribution, as advertisers are able to definitively measure one-to-one acquisition from TV advertising for the first time.

That being said, OTT is still a grey area for many—with superfluous TV terminology, fragmented options for media buying, and unclear expectations for performance and measurement, it can be tricky to know where to start.

    If you’re new to OTT or want to convince your team that testing OTT is worthwhile, this comprehensive guide on OTT television will help you understand:
  • Advanced TV terminology, buying methods and content formats
  • Key trends on the OTT audience, viewing behaviors, market share and growth
  • How OTT attribution works with AppsFlyer, in addition to industry solutions that will help you plan out your cross-device measurement strategy
  • Expert advice on the OTT media buying landscape, featuring media sources by category, targeting options, test strategies and more

Digital Transformation with IoT

The growing emphasis on digital transformation is encouraging more organizations to adopt initiatives driven by the Internet of Things (IoT).

While such initiatives enable enterprises to enhance customer experiences, create new business channels, or acquire new partner ecosystems, gaining the insights to realize these benefits can prove to be challenging. Enterprises intend to quickly gather and analyze data and from the devices powering their business. However, the sheer volume of data that these devices generate, the variety of data that comes in, and the velocity in which data is collected creates its own set of challenges in terms of storage, processing power, and analytics for such enterprises.

The growth of IoT adoption has been exponential across all industries, but organizations within each industry face a unique set of challenges along this journey. Enterprises leveraging all the big data generated from IoT devices in their machine learning models are able to use prescriptive and predictive analytics to make well-informed decisions.

In this eBook, we will discuss the challenges of implementing data-driven IoT, and solutions for addressing the challenges across multiple industries.

Webinar: Streaming Data with Cloudera Data Flow (CDF)

IT is no longer relegated to the IT group. Lines of business are building new business applications that can drive their business’s top and/or bottom lines. These applications are increasingly stateless -- meaning that they rely on their underlying operational database to manage their state and work with IT to build, deploy and manage the database infrastructure. The application development lifecycle is accelerating with the broad adoption of cloud and the rise of dbPaaS where the database is fully managed and self-optimizes for the applications. In this session, we will show you how the Cloudera Operational Database offers an accelerated on-ramp to app development by offering a modern multi-model database that eliminates infrastructure management.

    During this demo, you will learn how to use the Cloudera Operational Database to:
  • Create a new database & new schema
  • Write your first hello-world application using the database

Navigating the Open Source Risk Landscape

Open source use isn’t risky, but unmanaged use of open source is.

Open source software forms the backbone of nearly every application in every industry. Chances are that includes the applications your company develops as well. If you can’t produce an accurate inventory of the licenses, versions, and patch status of the open source components in your applications, it’s time to assess your open source management policies.

This paper provides insights and recommendations to help organizations and their development and IT teams better manage the open source risk landscape. It covers:

  • Open source license risk and the need to identify and catalog open source licenses
  • Security risk that comes with open source use and inadequate vulnerability management
  • Operational open source risk, version control, and the dangers of using inactive components
