Review Building an Anywhere Enterprise Requires a Precise Focus on Human Capital:Controlling Costs While Supporting Business Imperatives Stymies HR Departments HR executives face a significant challenge as they attempt to realize the business impact of their efforts. Recent Yankee Group research suggests HR cost containment issues in areas such as health and welfare and benefits programs are conflicting HR executives. Consequently, they are distracted from focusing on more business-impacting initiatives such as talent acquisition, retention, and leadership development and succession planning. Similar to IT departments that spend approximately 70% to 85% of their operating budgets on maintenance and ongoing support, HR departments must devote resources to maintaining existing systems, processes and technology. This challenge constrains HR organizations to attain more focus, efficiency and value from their human capital. Companies are focusing on tactical efforts such as cost reduction because these strategies achieve an immediate financial impact. For organizations to demonstrate the value of more strategic HR functions, HR executives must prove the short-term financial impact as well as the measurable, continuous value to the business.

Review IPTV in China and India: Can High Volume Overcome Low ARPU?:Excluding Hong Kong, China and India combined have less than 1 million IPTV subscribers and likely won’t break that psychologically symbolic customer count until well into 2008. At the same time, with one-quarter of the planet’s population, anemic cable competition and growing consumer appetites for entertainment, both countries are among the most rapidly expanding TV markets in the world. Not surprisingly, vendors from virtually every sector of the IPTV ecosystem have targeted China and India as key markets.

Review Web 2.0: More Internet Phenomenon than Technology:YouTube, MySpace, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Digg. com, widgets as well as a flurry of other technologies and web sites are all under the umbrella of Web 2. 0. But what do these disparate sites and technologies have in common? How will they affect the internet? More importantly, how will household names such as YouTube and MySpace generate profit? To answer these questions requires an understanding of how Web 1. 0 differs from Web 2. 0 and what is driving adoption of the latter. Web 1. 0 was primarily dominated by traditional online business models predicated upon content moving one way from media organizations and web sites to individuals. Revenue was transactional, based on subscriptions or advertising.

Review How IPTV Is Changing Advertising:Local Ads Go Interactive Thanks to IPTV Tired of watching the same old commercials from your local car salesman or furniture store dealer? Those days are on their way out with the new advertising promise that IPTV has brought to the forefront. Instead of sitting and being force-fed the 15- to 30- second questionably produced ad, it will be an interactive experience. See what cars are available on the lot, the dealer locations, or—if the audience is lucky—a banner ad that just requires consumers to click if they want to see more about Big Larry’s Auto Lot. Advertising is no longer about static one-way communication with the audience. The internet has revolutionized targeted advertisements, with the likes of Google and Yahoo! at the forefront of the viewing experience. Although traditional television advertising revenue has slowed down significantly in the past few years, recent investments (along with future advancements) will require additional revenue streams generated by new ad-supported business model dollars. Video service providers—whether MSO, satellite or telco—must improve relationships with content providers and advertisers while ensuring the network can handle interactive applications, providing an internet-type experience for the viewing audience. It’s advantageous to be an MSO right now because advertisers are looking for new and innovative means to reach an audience. Unlike their telco competition, MSOs have a well-established base of subscribers and can implement new technologies, such as switched digital video (SDV), which will enable targeted information for advertisers and more relevant content for customers. Although telcos have the greenfield infrastructure advantage, deployment delays and low subscriber counts will prevent any significant contracts for targeted or interactive advertising in the next 2 to 3 years.

Review Making Sense of Collaborative Commerce: Research Digest / MarketResearch.com:eShop Vendors like Ariba, i2, Oracle and PeopleSoft have jumped on the phrase "collaborative commerce," but in Giga's view, the phrase has a problem — it doesn't describe what's new. Collaboration between companies has been going on for years. What is new is the creation of applications to automate key steps in collaboration. Giga prefers "e-collaboration," because the "e" in e-collaboration stresses what's new — the electronic automation of collaborative interactions. Read this Research Digest to find out what market forces brought e-collaboration on to the radar screen of both vendors and clients. What is the role of technology in the development of collaborative commerce and e-commerce? What collaborative possibilities exist along the supply chain between companies and suppliers in terms of the realistic near-term opportunities? What long-term possibilities exist? What about possibilities along the demand and development chains, when a product is developed and launched? Headline Research Fifty years ago, organizations widely implemented telephones. Twenty years ago, fax machines had a similar effect on the enterprise. Most recently, Internet-based e-mail with attachments improved the process further. These were significant jumps in collaborative capability due to new technology. Though collaboration is not new, there is a renewed focus on e-collaboration today, with five primary drivers: 1. [+]The rise of new e-channels, e-marketplaces and electronic trading networks 2. Improved security for Internet-based communications 3. The quest for competitive advantage 4. Buy-sell transactions that are in fact collaborative decisions 5. Vendors using "collaboration" to describe and differentiate offerings E-collaboration will quickly move from being a competitive advantage to a prerequisite for doing business. Read this issue of the Research Digest for actionable advice on how to best take advantage of the new powerful e-collaboration. Also in this issue, read articles by expert analysts, including comprehensive market overviews, purchasing criteria checklists, statistical analyses and definitional documents.

Review Anywhere Access Controls Lock-Down Networks and Mobile Devices:The face of enterprise network access has changed. It used to be that enterprise networks were closed off by a firewall, and the only inbound data traffic that was allowed was web and VPN. Today’s business demands have pried network perimeters to open up to disparate users needing access to the corporate networked assets. Drivers include: What is the trend? How and why did it arise? What combination of factors has created it? Is this trend based on company marketing, hype, push or grass roots user demand? Will the trend have a market dollar impact? Will the dollar impact generate net new dollars or will it merely shift dollars within an existing market?.
