I as an IBMer and a technologist thoroughly enjoy my CEO, Ginni Rometty speak. What really stands out is how effortlessly she demonstrates the technology trends with a clear intersection of the customers business. This is my capture of Ginnis Keynote @ NRF 2014 (IBM has engaged with NRF for the past 40 years) titled A New Era of Value: A Conversation with Ginni Rometty. Interaction of IT industry with Retail, 3 technology trends transforming the IT Industry - paradigms which will change Retail Industry the New Era of Commerce 1. Big Data - Information is going to be basis of competition across the industry. It is not over-hyped buzz, it is under-hyped. a - Emergence of online data and store data coming together. b - High impact on Supply-chain. Retailing 2.0 to predict, scale, real time precision TWO behaviors of the best performers (from IBMs Smarter Planet references out there) -- range of data - structured, unstructured, social -- range of analytics, descriptive, predictive, prescriptive 2. Cloud - Convince you it is about business model choices. Key characteristics everyone is looking for speed agility, privacy and security 3 questions to check and do it against enterprise standards a What kind of Cloud ? Hybrid - Public & Private ? b How am I managing data, placement of data, know where it is ? c Can I audit it, manage the data as it was my own ? 3. Cognitive - Radical new era of technology, systems that learn, assert it will change rapidly, build relationships like never before. Ginni emphasized on the three words around data - Transparency, Control, Trust. I would encourage you to listen to the full replay, whether you are into technology or the business of retailing.
