Becoming Masters of Data and Analytics

To stay competitive in an increasingly digital world, businesses must become masters of data. By 2020, more than seven billion people and companies, and at least 35 billion devices, will be wired to the web.

In this new report, Gartner identifies the challenges digitization presents for organizations, and how professionals such as CIOs can harness its key drivers; focusing on six core strategic planning areas.

Forrester Report: Customer Data Maturity Powers The Modern Enterprise

With the growing importance of customer insights in organizations, the role of analytics to extract insight from customer data and embed it back into organizational processes is at the forefront of business transformation. This increased profile has elevated the customer insights role from data geeks feeding the marketing funnel to critical change agents and strategic business partners. It has also made it crucial for companies to have a coherent and consistently executed customer data strategy. In order to seize the opportunity presented by this shift in data’s role, companies must plot a deliberate strategic course — beginning with a clear-eyed assessment of their current capabilities and needs.

In late 2018, Tealium commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the state of customer data strategies today. We found that very few companies can claim to have mastered customer data today, but those who achieve the highest levels of maturity enjoy significant benefits and support for their business initiatives.

The ROI Story – A guide for IT Leaders

Disruptive IT infrastructure has been the norm over the decades, rather than the exception. Still, we have never seen a time such as now. The traditional hardware-defined datacenter model is besieged on multiple fronts. On one side is the public cloud, which continues to grow ever more popular. On the other side is software-defined infrastructure known as hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which is also growing extremely rapidly. Seemingly sandwiched in the middle is the hybrid combination of software-defined infrastructure on-premises with multiple public cloud options – known as multi-cloud.

The goal of this book is to assist CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, IT managers, IT staff, channel partners, manufacturers, consultants, cloud providers, systems integrators, outsourcers, and anyone else interested in how to use financial analysis as a framework to optimize strategic decision-making. It is geared toward evaluating and building a corresponding business case for disruptive infrastructure technologies, and focuses on Nutanix’s HCI-based solution, what we call enterprise cloud, though the methodologies should prove helpful for analyzing any platform.

Brief: 3 Tech Trends That Will Accelerate Manufacturers’ Time to Market

By 2025 the global medical device manufacturing market is expected to exceed $600 billion, driven largely by the aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, technological development and demand for more personalized treatments.1 Regulatory bodies are also reacting, both to protect consumer safety and to remove unnecessary roadblocks for device companies.

Despite the optimistic outlook for manufacturers, however, many are not equipped to compete in this quickly evolving marketplace. To keep pace, manufacturing organizations must break from their tried-and-true norms, which may present the biggest challenge of all. But once they do, the emerging developments in both manufacturing and technology will allow them to realize drastic efficiencies in product discovery and development, regulatory compliance and, ultimately, time to market.

This brief will explore three emerging trends that are likely to affect the speed at which medtech and life sciences manufacturers are able to deliver their life-changing products to market.

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
