Let me present: The 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓 𝐛𝐨𝐭 😁 Since OpenAI made it so super easy to compose your own "guided" ChatGPT experience, here is a bot that will allow you to delve deep into questions around the connection between #APIs, #platforms and of course #business. What do you think - about the OpenAI marketplace and offerings like these, which in itself of course are platformeconomies.com par excellence? In case you are not that excited about the marketplace - what do you think is missing? Would love to get your view Francis Carden, Tobias Zwingmann, Raj Grover - and of course everybody else.

Software-As-A-Service (SAAS) - 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫? Some skeptics might doubt the merits of SAAS, and they could back up their claims: 1️⃣ SAAS has become increasingly commoditized, with many companies offering similar services and prices, leading to a lack of differentiation and profitability. 2️⃣ And the rise of cloud computing and the increasing popularity of open-source software have made it easier for companies to build and deploy their own software, reducing their reliance on SAAS providers. 2️⃣ Additionally, the shift towards serverless computing and the adoption of containerization technologies like Kubernetes have further eroded the advantages of SaaS. The evidence suggests that SaaS is likely to remain a major force in the software industry however. The global SaaS market is expected to grow from $195.8 billion in 2023 to $700 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 21.4%. Of course, there are always trade-offs. A 2023 survey by McKinsey & Company found that 60% of executives believe that their company's needs are too unique to be met by off-the-shelf SaaS solutions. What is your view on SAAS - how do you deal with and integrate SAAS in your daily strategy, architecture work? ("Buy vs build" swings along with that question, of course.) #saas #softwareasaservice #cloudcomputing #business #technology

Where do you want your AI journey to take you? Not sure? Well, here is simple trick. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬! Let them force you to think critically about how #AI can be used in your organization to drive #innovation and #success. Remember, the power of good questions lies in their ability to challenge assumptions and #inspire new #ideas. So don't be afraid to ask the tough questions, and see where they take you on your AI journey. Let me give you some examples by vertical. 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: ❓ How could your teaching staff handle a 900% increase in engagement without missing student questions? ❓ How could this increase in engagement lead to a personalized experience for each student? ❓ How could this new repository of data improve the learning experience for students?

Drowning in data, but thirsting for insight? You're not alone in the data monetization paradox. #Data monetization is the process of generating revenue from data, and it has become increasingly important as the amount of data being generated has grown exponentially. Companies can #monetize data by selling it directly, using it to generate insights, targeting advertising, or creating new products or services. Data monetization also raises challenges and concerns, such as privacy, security, and ethics, and companies must be mindful. Bill Schmarzo, a preeminent authority on data monetization, offers his expertise on the frequent errors organizations commit when attempting to derive value from their data. The crux of the issue, he argues, is that we often begin with the wrong end of the problem. Rather than starting with the value proposition, we tend to get bogged down in technical discoveries. This approach, he posits, is misguided. Instead, Bill suggests that we should begin by focusing on the #value that data can bring to the #business. This requires a shift in mindset, where we prioritize the needs of the business and the insights that data can provide to drive growth and innovation. We can then work backwards to determine the data and analytics required to support it. Do you have any thoughts on his approach? Are there any additional perspectives or real-world examples that could help illustrate his points? Tiankai Feng? (And thanks Bill, great video.) https://lnkd.in/g4waUa_8

𝐖𝐡𝐲'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬? Hmmmm. There are just too many communication protocols out there, and each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. It's like trying to get a bunch of people who speak different languages to communicate with each other - it's not easy. And a lot of manufacturers are hesitant to adopt a single, universal standard because they view their proprietary protocols as a competitive advantage. It's like they're saying, "Hey, this is my secret sauce, and I'm not gonna share it with anyone!" With so many different protocols out there, it's hard for new companies to break into the market. It's like trying to enter a crowded party where everyone's already talking to each other - it's tough to get a word in edgewise. Another issue with that is the fact it's hard to ensure that all devices are secure and that data is protected. At least some manufacturers are starting to come together and agree on common standards, like Zigbee. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 "𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝" 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 - as in, not built with that in mind at least. Nevertheless, achieve a lot more unified. That's good for the consumer, for the market. What unlikely synergies will we witness in the future? Either way, I am looking forward to seeing all these things that unite come to fruition rather than the things that divide. #itstrategy #synergies #business
