From strategy+business By Ken Favaro Research confirms, time and again, that when most companies diversify into new markets, their profitability is diluted and acquisitions are subsequently unwound—usually by a new CEO intent on creating a more “focused” company. Consider Coca-Cola’s forays into wine and filmmaking, Eastman Kodak’s venture into pharmaceuticals, and Philip [...]

Try to name an industry that hasn’t been disrupted by cloud technology. Enterprises now rely on a new set of cloud-based software applications to run their businesses, whether it’s Box for enterprise collaboration, Workday for ERP software, Marketo for marketing automation or Zuora for subscription billing. These companies are responsible for a tectonic shift that forever changed how the enterprise does business.Business analytics (BA) is ripe for a similar transformation, yet the field as a whole has yet to realize the full benefits of cloud, and enterprise agility is suffering as result. The methods most businesses use to capture and analyze critical data are 10 to 15 years old. This leaves them ill-equipped to keep pace with rapidly changing business needs.IDC estimates the business analytics market will hit $50.7 billion in revenue by 2016, growing at a rate of almost 10 percent a year until then. That’s solid, brisk growth. But I believe the BA market can do quite a bit better, to the tune of reaching $150 billion by 2020. To make this a reality, companies must do two things.Click headline to read more--

Seat PG lancia l’innovativo Wiadv, un servizio rivolto agli esercizi commerciali e agli studi professionali che potranno offrire una connessione WiFi gratuita e illimitata ai propri clienti, migliorando e arricchendo la loro esperienza nel punto vendita al fine di fidelizzarli e di aumentarne il numero. Aderendo al servizio Wiadv, inoltre, ciascuna attività entra in un nuovo network di advertising profilato con oltre 4.000 partner su tutto il territorio nazionale. In questo modo, l’esercente potrà veicolare informazioni promozionali a tutti i consumatori che utilizzano il servizio Wiadv nel proprio negozio e in altri locali limitrofi (non concorrenti) secondo una logica iperlocale.
“L’utilizzo di Internet attraverso i dispositivi mobile è in continua crescita ed è ormai un’esigenza fondamentale per i consumatori: poter usufruire di una connessione stabile e veloce diventa quindi un fattore chiave nella scelta dei luoghi dove trascorrere il proprio tempo. Ad oggi in Italia, però, solo il 9% delle PMI¹” offre una connessone WiFi” commenta Paolo Portioli, Direttore Marketing di Seat PG Italia .”Per questo motivo abbiamo voluto mettere a punto un servizio studiato ad hoc per le piccole attività e gli studi professionali, che dia loro la possibilità di offrire ai consumatori una connessione gratuita illimitata e, allo stesso tempo, consenta a ciascun esercente di pianificare campagne di advertising in linea col proprio business e rivolte ai propri target di riferimento.” Ogni utente che si registra al servizio Wiadv ottiene le credenziali di accesso utilizzabili in tutti gli altri locali del network Wiadv in tutta Italia, andando a formare, in questo modo, un ampio bacino di utenza a cui ciascun commerciante potrà rivolgersi per attività promozionali e di advertising. Wiadv, attraverso un hotspot WiFi, permette a ciascun esercizio commerciale di personalizzare con il nome del locale la rete Wifi che i clienti utilizzano per accadere al web e di realizzare un portale diversificato secondo le proprie esigenze di comunicazione. Il portale di accesso a Internet è suddiviso, infatti, in due sezioni: una di queste consente all’esercizio commerciale di dare visibilità ai propri contenuti, mentre una seconda area offre servizi utili per i consumatori, con notizie locali – implementate grazie a partnership con diversi media sul territorio -e una chat che consente ai commercianti di interagire in tempo reale con i clienti. La chat permette anche ai consumatori di contattare altre persone connesse all’interno dello stesso locale o di conoscere utenti online nella stessa provincia, in una innovativa modalità social di relazionarsi. Il servizio Wiadv permette agli esercenti, inoltre, di raggiungere i consumatori con contenuti promozionali attraverso una serie di vere campagne banner personalizzate, tramite email verso singoli utenti oppure attività di Direct Email Marketing a più destinatari contemporaneamente.

Poor Pinterest. The social network often seems like Facebook and Twitter's overlooked little sister. While they dominate the news cycle with flashy high-profile IPOs, equally flashy offices, and gossip-y tales (not to mention a feature film) about spats between co-founders, Pinterest is a far quieter presence.
OK, so 'poor' may not be the best adjective for the company, which has raised $564 million to date. Unlike both Facebook and Twitter, however, it has no source of revenue.
But Pinterest is growing up; According to Ad Age, it's one step closer to start making some money for itself.
