Why are we considering the Big Data for our
organization?
Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data, both structured and unstructured, that inundates a
business on a day-to-day basis. But it’s not the amount of data that’s important. It is what organizations do
with the data that matters. Big data can be analyzed for insights that lead to better tactical and strategical
decisions.
While the term “big data” is relatively new, the act of gathering and storing large amounts of information for
eventual analysis is ages old. The concept gained momentum in the early 2000s when industry analyst Doug
Laney articulated the now-mainstream definition of big data as the three Vs:
• Volume: Organizations collect data from a variety of sources, including business transactions, social media
and information from sensor or machine-to-machine data. In the past, storing it would’ve been a problem,
but today, new technologies have eased the challenge.
• Velocity: Data streams in at an unprecedented speed and must be dealt with in a timely manner. RFID
tags, sensors and smart metering are driving the need to deal with torrents of data in near-real time.
• Variety: Data comes in all types of formats, from structured, numeric data in traditional databases to
unstructured text documents, email, video, audio, stock ticker data and financial transactions.
The amount of data in our world has been exploding, and analyzing large data sets will become a key basis of
competition, underpinning new waves of productivity growth, innovation, and consumer surplus, according to
research by MGI and McKinsey's Business Technology Office.

Why are we considering Cloud Computing for
our organization?
Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to
store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.
Users can scale services to fit their needs, customize applications and access cloud services from

35
Why are we considering a Cyber security
solution for our organization?
Cyber security is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These
cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money
from users; or interrupting normal business processes.
Implementing a Cyber security solution would provide many benefits for our organization:

36
Why are we considering the Blockchain
Technology for our organization?
Blockchain is a distributed database existing on multiple computers at the same time. It is constantly growing as new sets of
recordings, or 'blocks', are added to it. Each block contains a timestamp and a link to the previous block, so they actually form a
chain.
There are several ways blockchain is more secure than other record-keeping systems. Transactions must be agreed
upon before they are recorded. After a transaction is approved, it is encrypted and linked to the previous
Enhanced security
transaction. This, along with the fact that information is stored across a network of computers instead of on a single
server, makes it very difficult for hackers to compromise the transaction data.
It is sometimes difficult to trace products that are traded through our supply chain. If exchanges of goods were
recorded on a blockchain, we would end up with an audit trail that shows where an asset came from and every stop
Improved traceability
it made on its journey. This historical transaction data could help us verify the authenticity of assets and prevent
fraud.
Since we use traditional, paper-heavy processes, trading anything is a time-consuming process that is prone to
human error and often requires third-party mediation. By streamlining and automating these processes with
Increased efficiency
blockchain, transactions could be completed faster and more efficiently. Since record-keeping would be performed
and speed using a single digital ledger that is shared among participants, we wouldn’t have to reconcile multiple ledgers and
we would end up with less clutter.
With blockchain and its trustable data, we wouldn’t need as many third parties or middlemen to make guarantees.
Reduced costs Besides, we wouldn’t have to review so much documentation to complete a trade because everyone would have
permissioned access to a single, immutable version.
37
Why are we considering the Internet of
Things for our organization?
The Internet of things (IoT) is the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices and everyday objects. Embedded with
electronics, Internet connectivity, and other forms of hardware, these devices can communicate and interact with others over
the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.
Products that are connected can communicate their condition and report on how they are used. This data can be
used across the extended supply chain. For example, it can be the trigger to schedule preventative maintenance on
Increased Productivity
a production line when equipment is not in uses, rather than reactive maintenance when it breaks down. Usage and
performance data can also be fed back into the R&D process to improve the performance and usability of a product.
A great example of improved customer experience is in the automotive industry where vehicles are already capable
of providing real-time diagnostic and location data, as well as usage data, such as vehicle speed, fuel consumption,
Improved
and trip lengths. Bringing this to other industries, logistics companies can provide location data in real time to their
Customer Experience customers, helping customers keep track of when their shipments will be delivered, and truck drivers can receive
instant alerts when they need to bring their vehicles in for service based on remote diagnostics.
Older business models are built on a path to profit that relies on selling products. More products sold equals more
profit. Thanks to the IoT, profits are more heavily reliant on recurring income. The business model needs to be
based upon how the products and the data they produce can generate additional income streams. Personalization,

Business Models partners in the ecosystem make money and support each other’s efforts. The IoT has the potential to increase
revenue, but only when businesses are willing to embrace a new way of thinking and look at new options for
income generation.
38
Why are we considering Digital Marketing for
our organization?
Digital Marketing encompasses all marketing efforts that use an electronic device or the internet. Businesses leverage digital
channels such as search engines, social media, email, and other websites to connect with current and prospective customers.
Ability to reach a great Digital marketing will allow our organization to reach millions of people leveraging search engines, social media and

39
Why are we considering 3D Printing for our
organization?
The 3D printing technology builds a three-dimensional object from a computer-aided design (CAD) model, usually by
successively adding material layer by layer, which is why it is also called additive manufacturing. 3D Printing processes are now
considered viable as an industrial-production technology.
Cost Reduction 3D Printing helps bring the machine costs, labor costs and material costs down.
With 3D printing, parts and products can be manufactured a lot quicker than they can using traditional methods.
Complex designs can be created as a CAD model and then transformed into a reality in just a few hours. This
Speed delivers design ideas in a way that enables them to be verified quickly and designed in a short space of time. This is
so advantageous over traditional methods as they can take weeks or months to go from the design stage to
prototype stage and right through to the production process.
Through having the ability to reduce the life cycle of products, businesses can create room for new products that
Enhanced Competitive have been improved and enhanced – delivering better products in a shorter space of time. This gives a competitive
Advantage advantage, but it also makes it possible to develop products early, creating prototypes more frequently until the
product is perfected and ready for production creating a highly effective product launch.
When it comes to designing parts and products, designers have to consider efficiency. Many parts and products
Error reduction require a high number of steps in the traditional manufacturing process. This can lead to problems with the
manufacturing process as there is a risk of error and so, a single step manufacture is more beneficial.
With 3D printing, third parties can never claim your innovations for themselves. Continuous prototyping and
Confidentiality manufacturing in-house with a 3D printer ensures that designs never leave the company premises, safeguarding
your intellectual property.
40
Why are we considering the use of Drones for
our organization?
Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASes). Essentially, a drone
is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded
systems, working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS.
The use of Drones helps decrease the cost associated with transporting a certain product from one place to
another. That is why transportation corporations and online retail companies are opting for drone as part of their
Cost Reduction
logistics. Amazon and EBay are now also considering a new futuristic service such as using drones to improve
product delivery.
Drones are very convenient for users who want to save more time while covering a scene and navigating above the
ground. With just a push of a button, users can already fly the drone and start recording moving images to its
Time Saver
surroundings in a lesser time. Users will no longer have to wait for a photographer, cameraman, and digital artist to
accomplish the job just to record images or carry a material.
When users intend to capture a photo or video, drones provide a better accessibility than the traditional camera to
Less Effort lessen effort. Drones are smaller and more convenient than the traditional large cameras, which require your whole
body to carry the camera.
Drones are common for live streaming events, especially when there are important occasions that are currently
scheduled for a particular day. You can fly the drone to the area where there is a high concentration of individuals,
Live Streaming
groups, or organizations that are present in a certain event. There is no restriction for any drones to cover a live
event. Images captured by the drone can be published to blogs, streaming sites, and social media networks.
41
Why are we considering the use of Robots for
our organization?
A robot is a machine designed to execute one or more tasks automatically with speed and precision. There are as many different
types of robots as there are tasks for them to perform. Robots that resemble humans are known as androids; however, many
robots aren't built on the human model. Industrial robots, for example, are often designed to perform repetitive tasks that
aren't facilitated by a human-like construction.
For many companies, using robots will cut costs of human labor. Once a company has purchased a robotic team to
Cost Reduction complete tasks, they’ll just be paying to power and maintain them, which is usually a lot cheaper than paying a
salary to each employee.
The possibility of human error is removed when humans aren’t performing jobs. Robotic workers achieve precise,
exact movements and execute with minimal error. Fewer errors mean more quality products and less wasted
Quality and Accuracy
production materials. That translates to more profits for the business. Improved quality and accuracy will leave less
room for frustration internally. It will also make clients happier.
Uninterrupted Robots don’t need to sleep, or even rest. It means that robotic automation unleashes the possibility of 24/7
Workflow production.

Why are we considering Virtual Reality for
our organization?
Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR
places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with
3D worlds. By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the computer is transformed
into a gatekeeper to this artificial world.
Companies will be able to use VR to better visualize and design the product that they are developing like never. This
Better Product
was not possible before, but with the advent of VR the product being developed can be precisely designed,
Prototyping analyzed for its functionality, and can also be modified multiple times if required before it is sent to production.
Reduced Travel Virtual reality helps businesses to conduct efficient virtual meetings involving different teams spread across the
Cost globe.
As opposed to a traditional product launch or physically building a new store, businesses can quickly and
Provide a Competitive confidentially create a virtual store, which is much easier as compared to physically setting up a store. While the
Advantage speed of marketing can be accelerated using this technology, the store can be planned in complete secrecy. This
helps businesses to stay ahead of the competition.
With new applications of VR, taking interviews of candidates who have applied for a job will be much easier for the
Easier to Interview human resources department in the future. They will be able to interview candidates from different locations face-
Candidates to-face in a virtual conference room, where they will also be able to view the candidate's responses and body
language.

Why are we considering Augmented Reality
for our organization?
Augmented reality, commonly abbreviated "AR," is computer-generated content overlaid on a real world environment. AR
hardware comes in many forms, including devices that you can carry, such as handheld displays, and devices you wear, such as
headsets, and glasses.
Technology is Unique For now, companies using AR have much more chances to surprise their customers and create a necessary buzz,
and Noticeable because they can give their consumers something their competitors don`t have yet.
More Virality Augmented reality gets better word of mouth and social sharing, which increase the acquisition of new customers.
Opportunities for AR provides a chance to create something unique for the prospect or customer. AR is way more engaging than
