description

Citrix Webinar based on my blog post from December 7th, 2012. Topics include digital convergence, mobile payments, mobile marketing, big data, metrics & analytics, mobile computing and the impact on business. The original Webinar can be accessed at http://learn.gotomeeting.com/030713-NA-G2MC-IT-WBRARC-S?ID=70150000000YldL Abstract: We will discuss some of the most relevant current digital technology trends – including the rapid rise of the mobile Internet, cloud computing, the increasing importance of data and analytics, and the evolution of social media – and examine their impact on business. Some of the topics examined will include: - Convergence: As mobile devices become more powerful and connected, applications become smarter, faster, and more useful. All in the palm of your hand. - Location-based services: Today’s always on, always connected consumer offers new marketing opportunity. And some risks as well. - The rise of the machines: Big data, powerful algorithms and constant analysis replaces guesswork as machines know more about humans than we do ourselves. - Practical, real-world examples: From mobile payments, via targeted, contextual offers at POS to advanced segmentation, targeting and attribution, we will use several real-world examples of how these trends are affecting business today, and how they will define success tomorrow. It should be noted that, while there are large companies and huge investments driving many of these trends, the effects will be felt by everyone, and the benefits will be available to smart businesses of any size. This webinar will take special care to focus on aspects of particular relevance to small and mid-size companies.

DIGITAL CONVERGENCE DEFINED01 WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT MATTERS

Change before you have to.

Jack Welch

Convergence is Happening Everywhere

Technological convergence is the tendency for different technological systems to evolve toward performing similar tasks.Definition courtesy of Wikipedia

10

We seed this trend everywhere from automobiles to smartphones, as devicesand systems become “smarter”, more dynamic, and more integrated.

Our focus today is primarily on the modern smartphone, the mobile applications that run on it, and their impact on business and our daily lives.

Page 11: Citrix / GoToMeeting Webinar on Technology Trends 2013

Today’s Smartphones are REALLY Smart

11

A comparison in the performance between the ENIAC computer (1946) and the original iPad (2010):

Weight:30 tons versus 680g (4.4 million % reduction)

Cost:$6 million versus $600 (100 000 % reduction)

Speed:385 versus 21.6 billion operations per second (5.6 billion % increase)

Compare these advances to other industries such as transportation, energy, manufacturing, etc. Then imagine what the NEXT 50 – or just 5 – years might bring.

Mobile is Local.

Mobile Internet users differ from desktop.

Generally, they are more task-oriented, often“in the funnel”, either searching for a product or service, reading reviews or research or transacting.
