SMAC - Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud - An overview

Social Media, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud (SMAC)
Rajesh Menon

Cloud
Cloud computing is a model for enabling
ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of
configurable computing resources (e.g.,
networks, servers, storage, applications,
and services) that can be rapidly
provisioned and released with minimal
management effort or service provider
interaction.

Big Data and Analytics
Big data analytics is the process of examining
large amounts of data of a variety of types (big
data) to uncover hidden patterns, unknown
correlations and other useful information.
Big Data analysts basically want
the knowledge that comes from analyzing the
data.

Social Media
Social media is the collective of online
communications channels dedicated to
community-based input, interaction, content-
sharing and collaboration. Websites and
applications dedicated to
forums, microblogging, social networking, social
bookmarking, social curation, and wikis are
among the different types of social media.

Mobility
• Enterprise mobility is the trend toward a shift
in work habits, with more employees working
out of the office and using mobile devices and
cloud services to perform business tasks.
• The term refers not only to mobile workers
and mobile devices, but also to the mobility of
corporate data. An employee may upload a
corporate presentation from his or her
desktop PC to a cloud storage service, then
access it from a personal iPad to show at a
client site, for example.

What is Cloud Computing
Services provided over the Internet, such as e-
mail, Web hosting and data storage. Cloud
computing has evolved from these traditionally
used services to more complex services like
customer relationship management tools and
marketing programs.

Why does it matter – 5 reasons
1. Reduced costs and increased scalability
2. Automatic updates
3. Remote access
4. Customization
5. More time to focus on your customers

Virtualization
• Virtual workspaces:
– An abstraction of an execution environment that can be made dynamically
available to authorized clients by using well-defined protocols,
– Resource quota (e.g. CPU, memory share),
– Software configuration (e.g. O/S, provided services).
• Implement on Virtual Machines (VMs):
– Abstraction of a physical host machine,
– Hypervisor intercepts and emulates instructions from VMs, and allows
management of VMs,
– VMWare, Xen, etc.
• Provide infrastructure API:
– Plug-ins to hardware/support structures

Infrastructure as a Service - IaaS
Infrastructure as a Service is a provision model in
which an organization outsources the equipment
used to support operations, including storage,
hardware, servers and networking components. The
service provider owns the equipment and is
responsible for housing, running and maintaining it.
The client typically pays on a per-use basis.

Platform as a Service - PaaS
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a way to rent
hardware, operating systems, storage and network
capacity over the Internet. The service delivery
model allows the customer to rent virtualized servers
and associated services for running existing
applications or developing and testing new ones.

Software as a Service - SaaS
• Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software distribution model
in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service
provider and made available to customers over a network,
typically the Internet.
• SaaS is becoming an increasingly prevalent delivery model as
underlying technologies that support Web services and
service-oriented architecture (SOA) mature and new
developmental approaches, such as Ajax, become popular.
Meanwhile, broadband service has become increasingly
available to support user access from more areas around the
world.

Analytics
Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with
the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information.
Data analytics is used in many industries to allow companies
and organization to make better business decisions and in the
sciences to verify or disprove existing models or theories.
Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope,
purpose and focus of the analysis. Data miners sort through
huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify
undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships.
Data analytics focuses on inference, the process of deriving a
conclusion based solely on what is already known by the
researcher.

Big Data Analytics
• Big data analytics is the process of examining large amounts
of data of a variety of types (big data) to uncover hidden
patterns, unknown correlations and other useful information.
Such information can provide competitive advantages over
rival organizations and result in business benefits, such as
more effective marketing and increased revenue.
• The primary goal of big data analytics is to help companies
make better business decisions by enabling data scientists and
other users to analyze huge volumes of transaction data as
well as other data sources that may be left untapped by
conventional business intelligence (BI)programs.

The Meaning of Big Data - 3 V’s
• Big Volume
– With simple (SQL) analytics
– With complex (non-SQL) analytics
• Big Velocity
– Drink from the fire hose
• Big Variety
– Large number of diverse data sources to integrate

Business Users Want to…
• Report on operational data in near real time
– Example: What are my customer orders in my New York warehouse today?
• Query and analyze operational and historic information
– Example: How many of these customers had late deliveries in the past year?
• Analyze information across multiple dimensions
– Example: Summarize # of orders by these customers and revenue impact by sales
territory; Summarize whether delayed orders disproportionately affect particular
customer segment
• Compare information to financial plans and budgets
– Example: What is the potential affect of revenue / profit shortfall associated with these
segments?
• Analyze unstructured / social data to identify any correlations
– Example: Have the customers who are affected by delays complained in feedback forums
to customer service or on social media about my product delays?
• Apply predictive models to determine future outcomes
– Example: Are these existing or related customer segments prone to future churn?

3 main deliverables in a Web analytics project
• Website Traffic Data - Divided into Total Traffic, Traffic from Search
Engines, Social Media and Other Sources
• Conversion Rate - Define Goals for the website, Set them up, and report
them regularly.
• Custom Reports - Understand where the client business lies, and report
relevant metrics accordingly. For this, you will have to setup such metrics
and get figures for them on a month-on-month basis. For example, if your
client is a media website, tracking the number of people who sign up for a
newsletter subscription - is a good metric. It does not stop at that - custom
reports will allow you to segment this audience into demographics and
will reveal actionable insights for your client.

Look who’s talking:
– your customers
– your donors
– your volunteers
– your employees
– your investors
– your critics
– your fans
– your competition....
– anyone who has internet access
and an opinion.
SOCIAL MEDIA DEFINED

The social media conversation
The conversation is not:
– controlled
– organized
– “on message”
The conversation is:
– organic
– complex
– speaks in a human voice
Social media is not a strategy or a tactic –

The conversation is powered by
• Social Networks
• News & Bookmarking
• Blogs
• Microblogging
• Video Sharing

“It is about putting the ‘public’ back in
Public Relations and realizing that
focusing on important markets and
influencers will have a far greater
impact than trying to reach the masses
with any one message or tool.”

Word of Mouth is the Future of Marketing
Marketers can effectively use social media by
influencing the conversation.
One way to do this is by delivering
great customer service experiences.

o 91% say consumer reviews are the #1 aid to buying
decisions - JC Williams Group
