In order to improve its competitiveness in today’s digital marketplace, GIS wanted to standardize its delivery approach, so they implemented CA Agile Central as well.

To the casual observer, aircraft manufacturer Airbus UK and pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) wouldn't appear to share a lot of common ground. Some would say that the worlds of building airplanes and producing the next blockbuster wonder-drug are light years apart.

It's become a business imperative to maximize operational effectiveness, trim costs, standardize and streamline processes, achieve economies of scale and increase competitive advantage.

Personalization. It’s about the hottest topic out there for digital marketers. If you’re going to do it, though, you need to know with which customers you should start your personalization efforts. Which means you need to know which of your customers are most valuable—not always an easy task. This white paper will teach you how to identify your most valuable customers, create a personalized experience for them, optimize that experience, and begin the process again with another customer segment. Also included are three real-life examples of companies that found their most valuable customers, focused on personalizing their relationships with them, and drove additional business, increased customer loyalty and improved customer retention.

Over the past few years, organizations have used a variety of tools and technologies to enable basic mobile device management (MDM) and essential apps like email and calendar. But those capabilities are inadequate for companies that want to move beyond the basics and transform their business processes by securely moving apps and data to the cloud. For AirWatch customers, this means they should start evaluating leading enterprise mobility management (EMM) platforms like MobileIron in order to achieve their mobile transformation goals. Our platform is 100% focused on building today’s modern enterprise architecture, which is quickly shifting core business processes away from legacy technologies and standardizing on mobile devices and cloud services.

The paper then explores IoT scenarios that hold great promise and how companies are approaching investment to optimize business outcomes.
