  • Understanding Alphabet and Google, 2017
    This research note is restricted to the personal use of [email protected]. Understanding Alphabet and Google, 2017 Published: 24 February 2017 ID: G00297707 Analyst(s): Tom Austin, David Mitchell Smith, Yefim V. Natis, Isabelle Durand, Ray Valdes, Bettina Tratz-Ryan, Roberta Cozza, Daniel O'Connell, Lydia Leong, Jeffrey Mann, Andrew Frank, Brian Blau, Chris Silva, Mark Hung, Adam Woodyer, Matthew W. Cain, Steve Riley, Martin Reynolds, Whit Andrews, Alexander Linden, David Yockelson, Joe Mariano Google's size, market differentiation, rapid pace of innovation and ambitions can complicate fully understanding the vendor and its fit to current digital business needs. CIOs and IT leaders can use this report to explore in detail selected topics from the Gartner Vendor Rating. Key Findings ■ Two outcomes are apparent more than a year after the creation of the Alphabet-Google structure: Google is beginning to show increased momentum and has made significant investments in its enterprise offerings (most of its 2016 acquisitions were focused on this); and it is applying more discipline in Alphabet's "Other Bets." ■ Google is flourishing despite challenging external market factors: adverse publicity, competitors, government regulators and law enforcement. ■ Google values data, encourages bold investments in long-term horizons, pivots plans based on results in near real time, and reveres user-oriented engineering excellence. ■ Google is fully committed to 100% cloud-based and web-scale infrastructure, massive scaling, the maximum rate of change, and stream-lined business processes for itself and its customers. Recommendations CIOs and IT leaders managing vendor risk and performance should: ■ Plan for a long-term strategic relationship with Google based on an assumption that "what you see is what you get." Major vendor changes to core culture and fundamental operating principles in response to customer requests usually come slowly, if at all.

  • Smart TV Connection Options for FORMED
    Smart TV Connection Options for FORMED FORMED does not currently have a TV App, although this is something we hope to offer in the future. Additionally, users may encounter issues streaming the videos available on FORMED directly on their SmartTV using the pre-loaded browser on the TV. This is likely because the browser is incompatible with our video player. FORMED’s supported browsers are: • Google Chrome • Firefox • Safari • Edge If you would like to access FORMED on your SmartTV we recommend the below options: Direct Connection (HDMI) You may use an HDMI cord/cable to connect your HDMI-enabled computer to your SmartTV (all of which have at least one HDMI input). Select the HDMI input option and after you have connected the cord to both devices your computer screen should be mirrored on your SmartTV. * If your computer screen is not mirrored on your TV display you may need to navigate to your computer's projector/projector settings and ensure that either "Duplicate" or "Second Screen Only" is selected. The latter choice will cause the video to only appear on the TV. Chromecast If you use Google Chrome as your web browser you can stream videos or movies from FORMED to a SmartTV using a Chromecast device. This device plugs in to your TV’s HDMI input will allow you to stream FORMED from your computer, tablet or smart-phone to your SmartTV. The Chromecast is $25 - $35 *We've found the easiest way to cast FORMED is by using a computer with the chrome browser, rather than casting from a phone or tablet.
