The Business Case for In-Memory Databases
THE BUSINESS CASE FOR IN-MEMORY DATABASES By Elliot King, PhD Research Fellow, Lattanze Center for Information Value Loyola University Maryland Abstract Creating a true real-time enterprise has long been a goal for many organizations. The efficient use of appropriate enterprise information is always a central element of that vision. Enabling organizations to operate in real-time requires the ability to access data without delay and process transactions immediately and efficiently. In-memory databases, (IMDB) which offer much faster I/O than on-disk database technology deliver on the promise of real-time access to data. Case studies demonstrate the value of real-time access to data provided by in-memory database systems. Organizations are increasingly recognizing the value of incorporating real- time data access with appropriate applications. In-memory databases, an established technology, have traditionally been used in telecommunications and financial applications. Now they are being successfully deployed in other applications. The overall increases in data volumes which can slow down on-disk database management systems have driven this shift. Additionally, increased computer processing power and main memory capacities have facilitated more ubiquitous in-memory databases which can either standalone or serve as a cache for on-disk databases—thus creating a hybrid infrastructure. Introduction: The Real-Time Enterprise For the last decade, the real-time enterprise has been a strategic objective for many organizations and has been the stimulus for significant investment in IT. Building a real-time enterprise entails implementing access to the most timely and up-to-date data, reducing or eliminating delays in transaction processing and accelerating decision- making at all levels of an organization. -

Winning the Engagement War: Creating the Hotel of the Future with Ancillaries
WINNING THE ENGAGEMENT WAR: CREATING THE HOTEL OF THE FUTURE WITH ANCILLARIES Presented by + Winning the Engagement War: SKIFT REPORT 2018 2 Creating the Hotel of the Future With Ancillaries EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hotel ancillaries, often known to travelers and travel businesses as the extra items — like rental cars, hotel room upgrades, spa visits, food delivery, and tours — that are bundled along with their rooms, already play an essential role in the sector’s merchandising, marketing, and revenue considerations. But even though ancillaries have always been an effective strategy to boost sales, they are no longer seen by hotel executives as a mere supplement to other travel products. Today, they are increasingly the main event. Following the lead of the airline industry, which in 2017 earned an estimated $82 billion worldwide from sales of ancillary products, hotel executives are realizing that they are no longer simply selling access to just rooms and beds. Instead, they are now travel gatekeepers and tastemakers, selling access to a universe of related experiences connected to dining, entertainment, spas, tours and activities, retail, local services, and more. Taking this more expansive view of hospitality offers hotel businesses a variety of business benefits, including increased revenue, a more detailed understanding of the wants and needs of their customers, and an ability to drive more repeat business and create loyal customers. But in order to capitalize on this vision, hotels will need adjust their current ancillary approach. This will involve a renewed focus on better personalizing the types of ancillary offers they promote to customers, using what they know about guests to deliver more meaningful bundles of products that align with customer needs. -

21 Century Travel Using Websites, Mobile and Wearable Technology Devices
Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 2, Issue 2 – Pages 105-116 21 Century Travel using Websites, Mobile and Wearable Technology Devices By Michael Conyette This paper begins with an account of how travel has changed primarily between the 20th and 21st century from the dominant role that travel agents played in the past to the travel functions that mobile and wearable technology devices perform in this century. It also discusses the many technological changes that prepared the path for mobile and wearable technology devices, and concludes with examples of how wearables and augmented reality experiences are being used by travel organizations and museums. Wearable computing is a natural evolution of the smartphone technology that has become so prevalent and indispensable. Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, Apple’s Watch, Microsoft’s HoloLens, Epson’s Moverio and others will vie for market share in the wearable technology space. Wearable tech devices have the power to transform the management of destination attractions in terms of information provision and the experience of a venue or destination. Examples of this are provided herein. Keywords: Mobile devices, Museum, Smart Glasses, Travel website, Wearable technology Introduction Paradigm shifts in business operations instigated by the Internet two decades ago are now being further compounded via the prevalence of mobile devices and the emerging array of powerful wearable technology devices so that tourism venues need to realign their business practices and models to remain competitive and avoid being sidelined by advancing technology. Wearable tech devices are expected to change the fundamentals of human machine interaction. The paper firstly outlines the role of travel agents followed by changes in travel and technology that have enabled the adoption of wearables. -

Unveiled at the conference was a joint study issued by the MMA and Neustar, Inc. entitled, “Marketers Guide to Mobile and Data.” The research was gathered from a survey of 400 companies across the consumer product and service categories. Questions focused on how marketers perceive mobile, the impact achieved with mobile tactics, as well as the strategic advantage of data. The study revealed that a staggering 85 percent of marketers believe that mobile is a gateway to new markets and audiences. Additionally, 80 percent of respondents cited that mobile is not only transformational for their companies, but also strategic for their careers to stay on the cutting edge of emerging trends and technology. The survey identified that data offers significant value when paired with mobile as 61 percent of companies plan to invest more in data capabilities over the next year. After reviewing the insights and findings from the “Marketers Guide to Mobile and Data,” it is clear that we are experiencing a seismic shift in the industry when it comes to the attitudes and priorities of marketers embracing mobile. Only a few years ago, many brands were still asking “why mobile” but now senior executives realize that the future health of their businesses is linked to mobile’s role as a marketing vehicle. -
