IBM’s Software For Innovation Market Strategy

IBM’s Software For Innovation Market Strategy - Hybrid Cloud Computing Is One Of The Major Focuses Says A New Research Report At ReportsnReports.com

Software for innovation markets at $73.4 billion in 2012 are anticipated to reach $196.4 billion by 2019. Growth is a result of enterprise need to innovate to grow. It is not enough to maintain a static position in a market, nimble competitors steal market share away if innovation is not pursued. Innovation provides competitive advantage and protection of market position.

IBM concentrates on building end to end systems that are able to adapt of market changes. While this may make the IBM product set seem overly heavy in the short run, in the long run, this is of enormous value to clients as proved by the company market leading position in innovation software.

The enterprise uses software innovation to transition to higher quality automated process, middleware to support smarter computing, and cloud computing in an era of smart phones. IBM is profiled as the leader in this software innovation initiative. The ability to federate and spread workloads securely between private and public clouds is “hybrid cloud computing.” One mission of software innovation is to lead customers on the journey to hybrid cloud computing.
Physical convergence with digital representations of the physical world is creating complexity. Communication between machine to machine has caused an inflection point for the need for a quickened pace for the management and design of assets with software representing a significant aspect of innovation implementation.

Software is able to support innovation in enterprise markets because software is so much easier to change than physical devices.

Some software is better than other software in supporting innovation. Simple software changes challenge the best of IT departments in many cases, just for software that is used to run the business. For software used to create entire new business initiatives, innovation software is needed. Innovation software is used to handle the complexity of supporting a current market offering while tailoring a new modality.

Software for innovation represents a category distinct from software for existing applications, middleware for existing applications, and upgrades to existing applications. Software for Innovation is that software that helps enterprises grows existing markets. For that reason, it is of interest to the line of business more than to the IT department.

Innovation is needed by an enterprise to gain competitive advantage and respond to change in markets. Software used to effect business change, to make innovation happen is fundamentally different from established applications software and the infrastructure that supports those applications. Software for Innovation is most often tuned to supporting any kind of analytics, to helping the line of business change the fundamental nature of the business as product cycles create new market opportunity that demands attention.

Good businesses learn to listen to clients. They interview customers and try to be responsive to customers. Customers, clients create fickle markets, demanding the newest and best in an inevitable manner. Enabling client capabilities as the foundation of business process speaks to the very heart of innovation. A lot of support is needed to enable enterprise IT departments to adapt existing systems to new challenges.

Software for innovation market driving forces relate to the need to adapt to market changes on an ongoing basis. People have difficulty with change; change is hard.

The worldwide enterprise software market at $295 billion showed broad growth in 2012. Growth was achieved as companies positioned to garner a presence in real time computing, adapt to the Internet as a channel, and embrace mobile devices as adjuncts to business process. Worldwide software revenue increased 8.9 percent in 2012. Software for innovation was a $73.4 billion sub-segment of the overall software market.

This is an entirely new category of software. As research prepares to break out its software industry index worldwide, studies define the segments of the software industry more clearly. One of the things that jumps out of a close look at all the software industry segments worldwide is the software for innovation that is used primarily by the line of business to respond to the need for growth initiatives. This software goes beyond managing the existing business with implementation of automated process to giving the line of business tools that support growth initiatives.

TOP 10 Technology Trends...

Gartner's Top 10 tech trends for 2013

The rise of mobile devices becomes the No. 1 trend as Microsoft joins the fight and seeks to retain a strong share of client platforms.

ORLANDO - First came the heavy adoption of Apple's mobile platform by consumers whose heavy use of the devices for business tasks forced the IT operations at their companies to support them.

Android was the next mobile platform pushed onto IT and now comes Windows 8, Microsoft's latest effort keep its PC empire intact and gain market share in mobile devices.

For Gartner, the arrival of Windows 8 makes the "mobile device battles" its top technology trend for 2013. Gartner announced its list of Top 10 tech trends at its annual IT/expo here this week.

The battle among mobile device vendors for the attention of consumers is forcing IT managers into increasing heterogeneity.

Tom Minifie, CTO at a software vendor he asked not to be named, said developers at his company have built Apple and Android mobile apps for employees, including a smartphone tool that can separate workplace and personal communications.

Minifie said the company has no immediate plans to support Windows-based mobile devices. Officials will first watch to see how adoption goes.

He noted, when asked, that the decision isn't a chicken and egg problem. A lack of apps shouldn't deter users from adopting Windows-based devices if they want.

He referred the past history of employees at the company who bought Apple and Android devices before they were supported by IT. "They still went out and got them because there were compelling devices for personal use," he said.

Gartner also predicts that on legacy devices "90% of enterprises will bypass broadscale deployment of Windows 8 through at least 2014," said Peter Sondergaard, who heads up Gartner's research operation.

David Cappuccio, an analyst at Gartner, said that the Windows 8 forecast is not a ding against Microsoft. "Every group of employees has different needs," said Cappuccio.

Salespeople or some executives may want a tablet, other workers may only need a smartphone, and in some cases they may be using their personal device. "We can either force standardization," said Cappuccio, "or you can open things up and let people let people do what they want within reason."

David Cearley, an analyst at Gartner, unveiled the researcher's 2012 Top 10 list, which represents strategic trends the company believes will impact IT over the next several years, on Tuesday.

The list follows (FROM 10 to 1):

(10) Ten: Enterprise App Stores.

Enterprise App Stores will turn IT departments into market managers, providing governance and even support to "apptrepreneurs." App store markets will become the "anchor point" for users to get everything they need.

(09) Nine: Virtual appliances integrated ecosystems. 

They won't kill off physical appliances and their security advantages, but virtual appliances will gain an increased place in IT operations.

(08) Eight: In-memory Computing.

In-memory Computing, says Gartner, can be transformational. It allows hours-long batch processes to be squeezed into processes that only take minutes or seconds. In-memory Computing will become a mainstream platform over the next year or two, as users seek more real-time analytical queries.

It may pay for itself through improved efficiencies, such as fraud detection.

(07) Seven: Actionable Analytics.

Actionable Analytics is, in some respects, a distinct subset of its sixth trend, Strategic Big Data. Low cost processing is making it possible "to perform analytics and simulation for each and every action taken in a business." Most analytics today focus on looking at historical analysis; the next step is predicting what might happen.

(06) Six: Strategic Big Data. 

It's becoming more economical, thanks in part to low cost servers and CPUs, for organizations to tackle big data projects. By strategic big data, Gartner believes that users will be moving beyond isolated projects and incorporating big data analysis in more and more of what they do.

(05) Five: Cloud computing. 

As cloud adoption expands, IT departments will have to create "cloud services brokerages" to serve as a central focus for managing access to external services.

(04) Four: The Internet of Things. 

Everything will connect to the Internet, including cameras, microphones, augmented reality, buildings and embedded sensors everywhere. In many cases, it's here already.

The Internet of Things will lead to new products, such as usage-based insurance or tax policies. It will also raise new questions, such as whether a robot interacting with an ERP system is a named user for the purposes of software licenses. 

"We are at a point where it is no longer a stretch to imagine that much of what and who we interact with will be connected to the Internet," said Cearley.

(03) Three: The personal cloud replaces the notion of personal computer. 

The cloud will house all aspects of one's life, Gartner sayd.

Because it's so vast, and capable of marshaling infinite resources, "no one platform, form factor, technology or vendor will dominate" it, Gartner says. It also means that IT will have to support almost everything.

(02) Two: A long-term shift from native apps to Web apps as HTML5 becomes more capable. 

Gartner did note that native apps won't disappear and "will always offer the best user experience and most sophisticated features."

(01) One: Mobile devices. 

By next year, mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most common Web access device worldwide. Does this mean mobile devices will replace PCs? Yes and no, says Gartner. Some IT departments may only need to support mobile devices for specific workers whose jobs require them while the rest continue to use PCs. But, Gartner adds, the rise of mobile devices does signal the end of Windows as the single corporate platform. 

"By 2015 media tablet shipments will reach around 50% of laptop shipments and Windows will likely be in third place behind Android and Apple," wrote Cearley, in his report. "We believe the net result is that Microsoft's share of the client platform (PC, tablet, smartphone) will likely be reduced to 60% and it could fall below 50%."

Microsoft Windows - Version 1 to 7..

Microsoft Windows is a series of software operating systems and graphical user interfaces produced by Microsoft. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows on November 20, 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced in 1984. As of October 2009, Windows had approximately 91% of the market share of the client operating systems for usage on the Internet. The most recent client version of Windows is Windows 7; the most recent server version is Windows Server 2008 R2; the most recent mobile OS version is Windows Phone 7.

Sun Signs for Software Professionals - Real Fact

Sun Signs for Software Professionals

This is based on statistics taken from: 15003 Software professionals from the countries 

US, 

China, 

India, 

Japan, 

Pakistan, 

Mexico, 

Canada, 

Australia and 

UK. 

Total Software Companies: 980

The following is based only on statistical information and has nothing to do with astrology, though the following proves that the theory of Sun Sign is true to some extent.

********************

Aries - March 21 - April 19

The software professionals belonging to this sign are hard working and sincere. Though they second the Taureans in hard work, they are intelligent in their approach. They tend to display strong leadership, and their extroverted and assertive natures let them lead the new cycle eagerly. They have humour in their programming style and deepest concern for finishing a project. They are dynamic and active, as befits the beginning of any project cycle. As long as the boss gives them work and good salary, they are happy. If the organization is not doing good, they are the first to know about it and they exit immediately.

********************

Taurus - April 20 - May 20

The most hard working people of all the signs. They are among the strongest Signs when it comes to getting things done because of their reliable persistence in moving toward completion of projects. On the other hand, they can be very stubborn and argumentative. Though they are clumsy at their work, they get it done. They show the deepest respect to their bosses but hate them when they are ordered. They can work just on any platform and language given small amount of learning time. They can withstand failure on any projects but they undergo a little depression. They do not bother how the organization is doing as long as they get good work and good salary. They accommodate changes very easily.

********************

Gemini - May 21 - June 21

These also flirt here. They talk more than what they know and form very bad programmers. They are fascinated with gathering as much information as possible, and their facility as communicators - both written and verbal - arises from this need. They see the problem earlier than any other Sign can. They are adaptable and able to tackle multiple tasks simultaneously, and they know how to reason with people, but they may lack follow-through or seem ungrateful. They tend to use management jargon with young people around them. They feel jealous when somebody in their group knows more and achieves more than them. They get their job done by hook or by crook. They don't mind getting the work done through somebody and once they get it done they claim the title. They show deep respect for people who help them. They change jobs easily and they fare very well in interviews. Geminis cannot be trusted for more than a year. They are very impractical and cannot get along well with practical signs like Aries, Taurus.

********************

Cancer - June 22 - July 22

The most emotional of all signs does posses the management skill more than that of a programmer. They can manage projects and they have appreciation for good software professionals. Though they themselves do not form good software professionals, they motivate/demotivate their fellow people. They can argue on any matter easily and win over it either through a practical approach or emotionally. They play intelligently when given a task. They also, like Gemini, get the work done through colleagues once they know they are not capable. They are very honest and if they can't do a job they will tell you straight in the face. They feel embarrassed when they feel they are unable to do, when a colleague can do it easily. They are also jealous when they see people growing around them. They try hard to be on par with everybody else. They stay for a long time in a company only if they get more respect than what they deserve.

********************

Leo - July 23 - August 23

The creative software professionals. They know how what works and how to get it done in the shortest time. They show their flamboyance in whatever work they do. Though most Leos don't prefer Software, the ones that are in would not like to be in it. They would prefer to be outside where they can show other talents which they posses. Leos may be arrogant or egotistical, but they are good organizers and tend to be popular and even inspiring. Leos tend to be self-centered and more concerned with personal popularity rather than group goals and sharing of ideas. Despite their tendency to patronizingly interfere in others' plans, they are leaders, confident and dignified. Despite their tendency toward bossiness, the natural leadership of people born under Leo and their administrative prowess helps ensure that their projects are successful. As leaders, Leos are decisive and direct, optimistic that they will succeed. Sometimes they exaggerate problems and overreact to stumbling blocks, but generally they are positive and their natural pride and the stubborn streak keeps them from giving up. They can be demanding leaders, but they are also generous. Leos could not be generalized as far as their personal behavior goes. Its up to you to know whether they can be trusted.

********************

Virgo - August 24 - September 22

Virgo, the sharing mind. They let out whatever they know to others. They grow in a organization easily. Virgo brings their skills and talents together for the good of others. Virgo are industrious and efficient when working for a good cause. They are shy and nervous when they want to say something of importance though. They are unable to demonstrate that they know. But they are practical and logical, and they're skilled at seeing all sides of a situation. Virgos tend to be about smaller-scale projects and individuals. They are very good at understanding what people are saying beneath the surface words of their communication. Detailed and precise, people born under Virgo tend to be neat and exacting, but sometimes petty and overly fussy. At the other end of the scale, some Virgos can be sloppy. They are reliable, practical, and diligent, but they can sometimes seem picky or over-critical to people who aren't as discriminating as they are.The don't tend to do well in projects that require many interactions and people involvement. Though there are lot contradictions, the summary is that they can be good at things that are small given a lot of time for implementation. They may worry too much about small details, and they can seem demanding and critical. Their nature and attention to duty can seem like nit-picking pettiness if the people around them don't understand Virgo's desire perfection.

********************

Libra - September 23 - October 22

Best people to work with in large scale project activity. They form the best middle level co-ordinators in projects and bring harmony amongst all. They try to bring justice but can be persuaded by anybody to any side They don't have a clear balance in what they do. But when they are given a schedule you can be sure that a Libran will succeed in that. They are very demanding as far as money goes. Its important that a Libran never gets bored, because if he is so, he is out of everything. He will not do a single task when his mood is off. Libra's intellectual orientation to the world around them makes them skilled at communication and reasoning, and their intelligence combines with their interest in other people to become an intellectual explorer of the people around them. Because their efforts are mentally rather than emotionally motivated, Librans tend to be very judicial; they are good at diplomacy and compromise. Because they are generally reluctant to face confrontation, people born under Libra learn to be persuasive, courteous, and adaptable. But this may also make them seem cold and unemotional or manipulative They are team workers, skilled at cooperative action, but they can also be self-doubting. They are trustworthy for long times as long as they have a good working atmosphere.

********************

Scorpio - October 23 - November 21

The most intuitive software professionals. They do not like to be controlled by others and often tend to be the bosses even if they aren't one. If things go wrong they just quit. If a project doesn't seem to go well and they are in a tight spot they just abscond and never come back. But if they make their mind 8% of the Scorpios they tend to be stubborn, refusing to give up when others have long since gotten bored and abandoned a project, and getting things done when no one else thought it possible. They have their own schedule and they work on it. They are not adaptable to group situations and tend to be what they are. They are very secretive in what ever they do. They are highly revengeful and will strike when somebody steps in their way. But most Scorpios are misunderstood. They try to know things around them and are the first to be aware of the new technologies. They enjoy competition and they never settle for something less then best. They are trustworthy as long as they have work and happy and they have somebody in the management to care of them. But when things go bad the Scorpios can never be trusted, better to lay him off right away if you think he is playing bad.

********************

Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21

The learned Software professional. They learn more than what is required in this field and are the most adaptable folks. They really care little for any project plans and know how to get it changed. Their main desire is freedom in whatever they do. Given a free hand, they do best. They are less co-operative in groups and tend to be very pushy. They talk too much before they think and always fail at critical times. They are eager in getting things started and they jump so quickly and if they fail they fail quickly too. They like one-to-one challenges and are driven away by the group when they try blunt talk. They come back to the group after a fight, sulking but needing. They have great love for knowledge. They are trustworthy as long as they think that they are learning in the current organization. They would go away in a flash if they feel that they can learn more elsewhere.

********************

Capricorn - December 22 - January 19

Capricorns are practical and over ambitious. The are down to earth when they want to get things completed. They are practical, realistic, and cautious when they schedule something. They have the highest determination for success, they view each project as a block for their success and are less bothered about the project itself. They can also be rigid and unforgiving when others stand in their way. Their organizational ability combines with their diligence to help them achieve, but they can be narrow-minded and over-critical of people not as ambitious as they are. Capricorns would work hard and hard just for their personal success and not for their satisfaction, which is just the opposite in case of a Taurus. They are dependable and serious, never giving up on their goals. Other people may see their ambition as domineering or a reflection of egotism, but they are patient and purposeful when working toward what they want. Sometimes they may be overly critical, even bossy, but this is due to their strong desire to achieve their goals and not to a desire to be rude.

********************

Aquarius - January 20 - February 18

Hard working, and get things done just for the organization. They are very good at group projects and form good co-ordinators. They can be opinionated, and they work hard to ring their ideas to fruition, stubbornly refusing to give up their causes. They get to know the technology around them and would discuss with the people around. But since they stick to what ever they think is right sometimes this makes them go away from the group and they keep aloof. The are trustworthy and would stick on for a long time given the right kind of people around them.

********************

Pisces - February 19 - March 20

The people who are just meant to work only in group. They are selfless and do it as you require. They most important thing to be put in them is the "focus" since they get out doing something when they lose interest. All signs take advantage of a Pisces for their work because they would like to make use of his abilities. Though they are not intellectuals they are very broad minded and good thinkers. Very trustworthy as long as they are not abused too often by their colleagues.
