Driving Revenues Through Personalised Segmented Content
I recently read a statistic from analyst firm Gartner which stated that by 2016 89 per cent of marketers expect to compete primarily on the basis of the customer experience their brand, product and service delivers to the client or the consumer. A truly personalised user experience can make a customer feel highly valued, which is almost impossible to achieve through print or billboard adverts.

Disruptive Technologies: Arriving At A Specification Document… Is The Biggest Challenge
Going with the norm treads a relatively easy path, whereas going against the flow brings its own set of challenges. If all that you do is try to disrupt what exists, the complications are that much more.

Indian startup ecosystem… Older generation entrepreneurs
Soota’s startup story is as unique as it has shaped out to be. Being something of a serial entrepreneur, Soota started Mindtree in 1999 at the age of 58 and is now at it again, this time with a new start up called Happiest Minds, a next-generation IT company. After some three decades already in the IT sector, Soota believes that a late-stage entrepreneur like himself has several advantages. “If you have a good track record, it becomes easier to get funding at good valuations. I had a good plan to scale the company and I have a better network. Mindtree works in a crowded space. There are people out there who are doing similar things. So my biggest apprehension was always why a customer would come to us. But after the first four or five customers, I overcame that as well,” says Soota.

Happiest Minds features in HfS Blueprint: Software Product Engineering Services
The scope of this Blueprint was software product engineering services for ISVs and internet companies. We excluded software product engineering work for enterprises because it is still an emerging area and there is a lack of a common understanding among service providers of what enterprise work will qualify as ADM versus SPE. There are five service providers in our Winner’s Circle. They all have the scale and are making investments in technologies, design and IP capabilities to push this market forward. High Performers and other service providers are also capable of delivering high-quality services. I was also impressed by three small service providers Belatrix, Happiest Minds and Nexient which are new age software product engineering service providers without any legacy hangover. Their scale is very small, and practice areas are still evolving, but their direction is good. They all have a promising future if they are able to scale up with systems and process and able to maintain their focus.

When the Internet of Things met Analytics
The Internet of Things (IoT) is here to stay and predicted to grow into a multiple trillion opportunity by 2020. So, discussions about the IoT are not new anymore. Alongside all these devices that can be connected, deployed and “read” using IoT, there is a newer discussion happening, revolving around Analytics and its applications for IoT. Internet of Things Analytics (IoTA), refers to the analytics around the vast amounts of data available from IoT devices.
