  • Digital Consumer Behavior Study
    Digital Consumer Behavior Study The majority of today’s consumers are actively personalizing their digital experiences and sampling niche content and video with increasing frequency. That was the key finding in our first annual Avenue A | Razorfish Digital Consumer Behavior Study. Much has been said and written about how the Web 2.0 era has fundamentally changed the way consumers interact online. But to what degree is today’s digital consumer really changing her online behavior? A quick look at ComScore or Nielsen tells one story: millions of people are logging on to Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and MySpace and the numbers are growing. We wanted to know if it was simply the leading the way (and leading the hype), or has something more significant occurred? Connected Consumers In July 2007, Avenue A | Razorfish surveyed 475 U.S. consumers across all demographics and geographies to understand their desires, frustrations and digital consumption habits. Our design research team was most concerned with digital behavior rather then demographics. We wanted to know: • How the broad populace of "connected consumers" discover things? • How quickly do consumers adopt emerging technologies and user interface conventions (tag clouds, social media, etc.)? • What drives consumers’ desire to purchase (or not) online? • How has video changed the digital landscape in recent years? • Are mobile services being widely used (or not)? Below is a detailed breakout of the situational questions we asked to consumers and their responses. As you will see, we focused on four key areas of digital consumer behavior: Web 2.0 adoption, entertainment habits and media consumption, eCommerce and mobile usage.

  • Enter the Purpose-Built Database Era: Finding the Right Database for the Right Job
    Enter the purpose-built database era: Finding the right database for the right job 1 INTRODUCTION Stepping into the purpose-built era Data is a strategic asset for every organization. As data continues to exponentially grow, databases are becoming increasingly crucial to understanding data and converting it to valuable insights. IT leaders need to look for ways to get more value from their data. If you’re running legacy databases on-premises, you’re likely finding that provisioning, operating, scaling, and managing databases is tedious, time-consuming, and expensive. You need modernized database solutions that allow you to spend time innovating and building new applications—not managing infrastructure. Moving on-premises data to managed databases built for the cloud can help you reduce time and costs. Once your databases are in the cloud, you can innovate and build new applications faster—all while getting deeper and more valuable insights. Migrating to the cloud is the first step toward entering the era of purpose-built databases. But once in the cloud, how do you know which types of databases to use for which functions? Read on to learn more about purpose-built database types—and how you can ensure a smooth transition into this new era of innovation, performance, and business success. 2 WHY CHANGE? Going beyond relational only Before we begin discussing purpose-built databases, let’s examine the status quo—using relational databases for just about every use case. Relational databases were designed for tabular data with consistent structure and fixed schema. They work for problems that are well defined at the onset.
