Infosys Team at TUCON 2011 - Annual TIBCO user conference
As I try to get my hands around the theme of this year's event, one thing is clear, TIBCO has come a long way from being identified as a provider for real time integration products to a set of technologies focused on leveraging data within tomorrow's enterprise. For starters - 'real time' is passé, what matters is data at the 'right time' and what you do with it! That explains the product suite of TIBCO that ranges from low latency data grid, to decision making, to visualization, to data governance. Analysts, clients and partners alike would be keen on hearing success stories of this super wide integration stack from around the world.
But why this broad-based shift one may ask. In my opinion the answer is simple. While today's organizations are successfully figuring out their data integration needs, Tomorrow's Enterprise needs to be Smart, Agile, Social and Mobile - let me coin the term MASS! Even a decade ago it was tough to associate these attributes to an IT landscape, but today most technology leaders have one of these 4 words atop their white boards. A look at the industry confirms that:
- Utilities are not concerned about data acquisition through smart meters, but are more concerned about how will they use this data in a Smart Grid
- Healthcare payers are not just worried about timely data feeds but the ability to respond in a highly event driven industry
- Retailers that have multi-channel integration are looking at ways to predict customer behavior to make that subtle cross-sale
The industry and partner sessions at this year's TUCON surely seem to be spread across the MASS spectrum. It would however be interesting to see how all this is tied into a single theme, by Vivek and team. May I offer the MASS acronym as a suggestion, Vivek?
Infosys is represented by a cross industry team of experts and practitioners lead by Ashok Vemuri, Member of the Board, Head of Americas and Financial Services & Insurance. He will be delivering the opening keynote on September 28th and would be sharing how, as businesses move away from a product-centric model towards co-creation of value, tomorrow's enterprises will be defined by their ability to create and nurture an ecosystem of innovators.
On Tuesday afternoon, our customer, Best Buy Europe will be hosting a session on achieving a seamless customer experience across multiple touch points with an eCommerce platform for tomorrow's digital consumers.
Later in the evening from 7pm-9pm, Infosys will be hosting an exclusive cocktail reception for customers, prospects, analysts and media executives.
On Thursday, listen to JCPenney's session about improving its customer experience by real time integration of more than 1100 stores.
If you're planning to attend TUCON 2011, we look forward to meeting you at our booth to exchange your views on embracing the 'Technology of Now'. We would also like to discuss our industry solutions , viewpoints and success stories that help in Building Tomorrow's Enterprise with the Two Second advantage. Also, we have a host of gifts lined up and if you are the lucky one, you could WIN some of them, so that's an added incentive!!!
I plan to share our experiences across various industry verticals and solutions that leverage the Two-Second Advantage in my ongoing TUCON 2011 blog series.
Also I will be updating you with my first impressions LIVE during the event based on any key announcements, general sessions and meetings with customers and TIBCO senior executives.
