IBM had flat results this quarter which is improvement. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

it had some margin shrinkage which concerns some but not me. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#IBm is shifting to cloud services which should have higher margins than the pro services it has been living on. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

But cloud isn't at scale yet. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#IBM is focused on #cognitive, #blockchain, other emerging high margin services. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

It can't compete with #AWW, #Google, #MSFT that are in v\high volume lower margin businesses. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

the big question is can #IBM change its business model to the new business strategy. @Furrier #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#BlueMix is where you see the path. @Furrier #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#BlueMix brings it all together. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#IBM is investing heavily in the development. Can it attract & retain the developers. @Furrier #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#IBM mopping up the floor in #AI vs traditional vendors. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

If #IBm can get a foothold in AI/Cognitive. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#AWS, #Google struggle to play in the enterprise. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#AWS enterprise play is the #VMware deal. @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

We will interview the top #IBM execs & some customers over next 2 days. @Furrier #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

Can #IBM codify its services expertise into software & deliver that at scale? @DVellante #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

the biggest difference for most people at #ibmwow. They are here and/or have been in the past for analytics but are getting exposed directly to Watson for the first time. It's a very large risk.

@Grant_Case why is it a risk

The brand promise versus the brand delivery of Watson. The analytics audience is likely buyer, but can IBM deliver on the brand promise of "easy" solutions with Watson. Becauase in doing so, you either marginalize other IBM solutions or need brand ext

companies need to find a cloud and big data partner whose products are state of the art where security has to be designed into the overall plan

What can be done with #IoT security is not easy, but according to Wikibon companies can rethink how to deal with IoT. Connecting systems to share information around big data is something Splunk is doing

Security software that has native big data capabilities, native in devices that send notifications for any vulnerability activity. Cloud-based software to manage scaling agile software development practices as hackers tend to use holes to exploit

Data used to beviewed as a risk. Now it is seen as an asset. People even talk about putting it on the balance sheet. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

Data contains valuable info & to the extent U can glean & use it quickly & accurately it provides business advantage. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

if U want a methodology to create value from data U want to start with an understanding of the business's monetization strategy. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

Once U understand that then it is how data is best sued in service of that monetization strategy. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

The question isn't how to monetize the data. It is how the business plans to monetize itself. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

Once U have that U need to define the data that supports that & the data that is so vital it has to be very high quality. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

#IBM strategy is making clients into cognitive enterprises. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

To do that we made #IBM a cognitive enterprise as an example for clients. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

Then we defined the data we needed to do that & the data sources we needed to use. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

10 yrs ago data was inward looking in the enterprise. Now it is much more outward looking with new data sources. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

The third piece is trusting your data. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

Internal focus is on driving cognition at thousands of points where human cognition is used to make decisions. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

each of those is an opportunity to bring enhanced cognition to the decision bringing in exogenous data. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

U have to do the due diligence of understanding the business. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

once U understand the business & the data U need U need the ability to manage the data. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

One center of innovation are people who are adept at data skills & can apply them to the enterprise. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

One difficulty is therearen't that many peoplewith those skills. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

Then U need people who can balance monetization & governance. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

3rd U have to integrate the data platform into the enterprise workflow. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

In a large enterprise that's a significant job. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...

Large enterprises like #IBm need a CDO for each BU. @ValueFromData #theCUBE http://bit.ly/2eNC3r...
