01/19/12--12:30: Why You Need Better Content, Not Just More Content (chan 1706286)

As part of a marketing evaluation we delivered to a client this week, we covered Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and in particular how the volume of indexed content plays a major role in the success of any SEO effort. The situation was simple: one of this company’s biggest competitors showed hundreds of indexed content pieces, and our client showed around ten. Game, set, match to the competitor, right? Not so fast, my content marketing friends.

01/25/12--03:45: If You Think Your Data Is a Mess Now... (chan 1706286)

If you think your data is a mess now...just wait. It will get worse, if you're not careful. Maybe even if you ARE careful. That loud rumbling sound you hear isn't thunder, or an earthquake--it's the noise from an avalanche of exploding volumes of data, in places and formats that never existed before. This explosion is making a difficult situation even more challenging, and what's worse, it has a direct impact on business productivity. Only 21% of CEOs have the comprehensive information they need about their customers to make strategic decisions, according to a PriceWaterhouseCoopers CEO report. As with so many other data challenges (such as data quality), the best approach to managing exploding volumes of data--data in a multiplicity of new places and formats--is planning. The avalanche of disparate data, formats and applications has exacerbated a classic organizational challenge: critical data about customers stored in a myriad of different places and formats inside the enterprise, ranging from spreadsheets to databases to various enterprise systems (such as CRM or ERP) as well as various types of structured and unstructured data files.

01/26/12--00:00: Ospero Offers Data Privacy Solution with New "Distribution as a Service" Offering (chan 1706286)

London, United Kingdom, January 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Global Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) firm, Ospero, is proud to announce the launch of its new "Distribution as a Service" (DaaS) offering, to mark the fifth annual International Data Privacy Day on 28 January 2012.

With EC Justice Commissioner Viviane Redings’ "Privacy by Design" ethos at its heart, Ospero’s new DaaS offering will help the software industry prepare for forthcoming changes to the European Commission Data Directive to be announced in Q1 2012 by Viviane Reding.

The Ospero DaaS platform is aimed at SaaS, ISVs and Open Source vendors who want and need to embrace local Data Protection acts in order to comply in jurisdictions outside of their own domestic markets.

The platform was created using the Ospero ‘6pillars’ methodology, which embraces the core principles of :-
- Security
- Sovereignty
- Service
- Scale
- Speed
- Simplicity

Jason Currill, CEO of Ospero, commented, “Since the advent of the cloud, geopolitical barriers have been all but eliminated and the various data protection acts - most of which were formed before SaaS, the cloud and in some cases even before email - are now woefully inadequate to cope with global data privacy and sovereignty concerns we see today.”

Ospero recognises these issues and have created a global grid of ubiquitous data centres located in key business hubs across EMEA, North America and Asia Pac – running best of breed VMware and VCE Vblocks, all accessed through a single management portal.

Mr Currill added, “We designed the Ospero vGrid (OvG) to allow vendors to eliminate as many barriers to the adoption of their technologies as possible. By using the OvG DaaS platform, not only are SaaS vendors lowering latency and data transmission costs, they are also alleviating psychological and legal barriers to adoption.”

Ospero explains that above the SMB space in most countries outside North America Mid Market and Enterprise, customers are hesitant to invest in SaaS based platforms because of the complex legal landscape around the issue of where the data resides. Now, with the Ospero DaaS platform software companies can deploy their application in over 19 countries in four continents. As usual, they just pay for what they use and manage their global estate through a single portal. Ospero also operates a single global SLA and typical 24x7x365 support.

“We believe the upcoming amendments to the European Commission’s Data Directive will have similar effect on the IT industry as Sarbanes Oxley had on the Finance industry,” explained Mr Currill.

“Customers are aware of this and SaaS vendors who plan ahead for these amendments and utilise a DaaS model to sell their offerings will not only be complying with changing legislative landscape, but signalling to their customers and partners they genuinely take data privacy and sovereignty seriously.”

01/27/12--04:00: Confusion Surrounds PaaS for Federal IT Buyers (chan 1706286)

VIENNA, Va., Jan. 23, 2012 —NJVC, one of the largest information technology solutions providers supporting the U.S. Department of Defense, and Virtual Global, a premier provider of software and cloud computing platform solutions for a variety of industry and federal customers, announce the release of a joint white paper, “Platform as a Service (Paas): What Is It? Why Is It So Important?.”

The paper clarifies the confusion surrounding PaaS for IT decision makers in the federal government. The National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) suggests PaaS as a component of the Federal Cloud Computing Reference Architecture, but one major challenge exists: Most buyers do not understand what PaaS is, why it is important and how it can help federal agencies cut development costs by more than 50 percent.

“Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel said that platform as a service is the next major value set for federal cloud computing, and it also aligns closely with his Shared Services initiative to knock down stovepipe software and save money,” said Kevin Jackson, co-author and general manager, NJVC cloud services. “I hope that this whitepaper will help raise awareness of its importance in the federal marketplace.”
Many PaaS vendors require their customers to make long-term commitments to proprietary infrastructures. Some early adopters of PaaS unknowingly have already made casual, long-term commitments to infrastructure providers. “It's somewhat like buying gum at the counter, but needing to rent the store for 10 years,” said Cary Landis, co-author and Virtual Global senior platform architect and founder. “That is why NIST is stressing the importance of openness and portability. IT buyers must understand PaaS to make the right decisions early.”

PaaS makes it possible for software developers to participate in the cloud. Until recently, the cloud has been dominated by big email and infrastructure providers selling commodity services. “PaaS changes the landscape—it opens the playing field to hundreds of thousands of software developers and integrators, giving them a way to actively participate,” according to Jackson. “Whereas the first wave of cloud computing was about consolidating data centers, the PaaS wave is about consolidating applications. It will be a more complex ride, but the savings will be greater,” Landis said.

01/27/12--09:45: High Impact Cloud Marketing - A Formula for Success (chan 1706286)

Most CEOs I talk to have a jaded, if not skeptical view of marketing. While they recognize the importance of marketing to their long term success, they have a hard time understanding and measuring how well marketing is doing. And while more mature organizations have a good handle on very well tuned marketing metrics and measurement, the question is still always out there. With the advance in marketing automation, new channels of communication, and the avalanche of marketing data now available, marketing has evolved, in many CEOs view, from a black art, to a black science. Hidden behind the dashboards and metrics lies a more fundamental problem. In today's hyper competitive, global, instantaneous market, where buyers and consumers have nearly unlimited access to information and each other, the fight for attention and share has become a treadmill of constantly faster speed. With this high velocity market, we need a new HIGH IMPACT marketing formula to feed the machine.

"I am excited to welcome Todd and Mike to the team," said Andy Macdonald, CEO of First Advantage Litigation Consulting. "Their skills will not only enable us capitalize on market opportunities, but also help drive the growth envisioned by our investors, Symphony Technology Group (STG). Bill Chisholm, STG Managing Director and First Advantage Litigation Consulting chairman, added, "The addition of Todd and Mike, combined with the company's global service offering and STG's financial backing, puts the company in a position of strength in the rapidly expanding legal services market."

Horst has more than 18 years of product strategy, sales and marketing experience in high-growth, equity-backed companies. Previously, he was Vice President of Marketing at High Street Partners, Managing Director at the Corporate Executive Board, and Executive Vice President at Outtask, a Software-as-a-Service provider acquired by Concur Technologies. Horst earned his MBA from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and his BA from Duke University.

Flanagan spent 20 years with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher in Washington, DC, the last 11 as a partner. There he counseled public and private companies on a broad range of legal matters, including the resolution of commercial disputes, the negotiation of corporate transactions, and compliance issues. He was a founding member and a Co-Chair of the firm's Electronic Data Discovery Initiative and Information Law Practice Group. Flanagan is a graduate of Cornell University and University of Michigan Law School.

"The last two months have been momentous for us," commented Macdonald. "STG's support, our partnership with Nexidia, the hiring of Todd and Mike, and several key client wins demonstrate that we have the financial strength, management depth and focus to lead this market. In the coming months, we will further enhance our technology solution, Global RPM®, broaden our service offering and expand our global footprint through acquisitions to offer our customers the most comprehensive solution in the industry."
