    Page | 1 THE 3RD PLATFORM AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CHANNEL COPYRIGHT © TOLLRING 2017 THE 3RD PLATFORM AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CHANNEL Page | 2 THE 3RD PLATFORM AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CHANNEL FOREWORD BY IAN HUNTER, EDITOR, COMMS BUSINESS Information is King but Knowledge is Power We live at a time when changes are happening all around us. Look at any period over the last 30 years and the timeline will reveal some fundamental technological change or innovation that has changed both the way we live and the way we work today. The Third Platform is a powerful concept and argument for today and the coming years developed by global industry analyst firm IDC. Essentially, they see three key changes within the IT and communications landscape that have occurred in these modern times. COPYRIGHT © TOLLRING 2017 THE 3RD PLATFORM AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CHANNEL Page | 3 Firstly, the use of mainframe computing which was followed by the entrance of the PC and resultant LAN, Internet and client server architecture of the 1980’s and 90’s. The third change, and platform, being the omnipresent IP based networking and connectivity that has given us anytime, anyplace access and multiple device experiences. I have in my working life experienced all three platforms. When I started work in the Ministry of Technology at the National Physical Laboratory it took me three days to get a mainframe computer to generate a simple table of stress measurements. If I made just a one-character input error you started over on another three-day wait. Whilst working for BT I became a very early adopter of personal computing and had a company provided PC at home.

Benefits of the Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider Program (CSP) A Microsoft Licencing Comparison Create a Successful Cloud Strategy Why partner with Tech Data for Microsoft CSP Next Steps Cloud Solutions The Digital Transformation Opportunity Digital transformation is a complex process that changes how enterprises work and go to market, which creates long-term opportunity for partners equipped to take customers on this on-going digital journey. Transformation leverages digital technologies to innovate new business models, business processes, and services, and to improve experiences, operational efficiencies, and organizational performance. According to IDC the market opportunity for Digital Transformation in 2019 is $1.7 trillion. The cloud has changed more than the way we implement and manage IT; it’s changing the very fabric of business. With ready access to data, and intelligent new ways to view, analyse and use the information, the cloud has engendered powerful new capabilities which are disrupting entire business models. Three converging trends are accelerating this partner opportunity. Executive mandate. Digital transformation is at the forefront of customer conversations and is a board-level initiative. Executives view the path to capturing this opportunity as becoming technology-centric to deliver new customer experiences. Line-of-business led. Line-of-business (LOB) leaders such as marketing, operations, sales, HR, and finance leaders are being called upon to drive business model changes and technology decisions, and to facilitate digital innovation towards a technology-centric business.

  • Life Sciences Digital Transformation
    Life Sciences Digital Transformation A Birlasoft Point of View for Medical Device and Pharmaceutical Manufacturers birlasoft.com Introduction Birlasoft exclusively provides information technology and engineering services and solutions to manufacturers and distributors in a handful of vertical industry segments and life sciences is one of its primary areas of focus. Most established pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies in this space have put in place foundational ERP transactional systems and now are investing in “digital transformation” initiatives focused on surrounding those systems with “systems of engagement”. The reasons for this focus are many, but include a need to get closer to the customer through better understanding of needs and providing consistently outstanding experiences with their products, services and brand, developing new, higher margin revenue streams and realizing cost efficiencies in manufacturing and the supply chain. In this paper, we will cut through a lot of the buzzwords and jargon around digital transformation and share what we at Birlasoft are hearing and seeing in the medical device and pharmaceutical market segments, which we call life sciences. What is Digital Transformation, Anyway? At the moment, digital transformation, or DT, is defined many ways and with many technologies, depending largely on the industry being discussed and the technology solution(s) that an IT solution provider is positioning. To create a consistent basis for discussion, however, a concise and clear overarching definition is useful. ‘‘Digitizing everything & process in the world in which we live and work to provide insights to improve business operations, customer experiences and quality of life.’’ Digital transformation is enabled by what IDC has termed as the third platform, comprised of mobile computing, social networking, cloud computing, the internet of things (IoT) and big data analytics.

  • Open Networking Leads Digital Transformation to Reinvent a Business, the First Step Is Reinventing the Network
    OPEN NETWORKING LEADS DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION TO REINVENT A BUSINESS, THE FIRST STEP IS REINVENTING THE NETWORK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Companies see digital transformation as a way to help them accelerate their business by leveraging mobility, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and social media to drive better insight and speed decision making. But before they can transform their businesses, they need to transform their network first, because traditional network architectures hamper digital transformation instead of propelling it forward. Dell Networking has a product strategy that focuses on making networking open, programmable, and scalable—all attributes that will be required for a business that is heading down the path of digital transformation. WHAT IS DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION? Before delving into the role that networking will play, it is important to first define what we mean by “digital transformation”. Digital transformation is the wholesale change in how companies operate, aligning their business around information and data sources to help drive better agility and deeper insights. This change requires a company to not only retool its IT environment but also refocus the skills that IT staff will require. To address the changes that will need to happen to IT, companies should focus on modernization, automation, and transformation, because the traditional IT systems that will be the key underpinning need to become agile and flexible before the business can begin the journey. Networks will need to change from being hardware-centric to software-centric in order to enable this evolution. Through digital transformation, companies can move quickly and decisively in today’s challenging business environments, but the underlying technology foundation must be in place first.
