Is outside-in architecture right for your company?

Outside-in architecture connects partners, suppliers and other external parties to a company’s ecosystem. While this design is growing in popularity, does the ability to share information with third parties justify the cost of replacing your current centralized architecture?

Recently, increased competition has led some companies to embrace an emerging IT architecture model that supports information sharing among internal and external parties. Advocates of this “outside-in architecture” approach argue that it will soon become an essential element of business results. Yet this notion meets with resistance from companies that have invested heavily over the years in creating and maintaining a traditional, centralized IT architecture. Their reaction is understandable and it raises the question of whether companies should divert resources toward a new architectural model that has yet to mature and demonstrate its longer-term value to the enterprise.

Outside-in architecture should be on the CIO’s radar now. The growing need to share information – not just internally, but externally with partners, vendors and clients – is leading companies to think beyond traditional centralized IT architecture models. Indeed, they will likely need to tie multiple, and in some cases thousands, of autonomous entities into a single IT ecosystem where they can move and share data freely.

With this in mind, CIOs should consider experimenting with outside-in architecture to get a better idea of how it could support their company’s strategic goals and, potentially, add value. Perhaps they could implement the model on a small scale in an environment that has many of the characteristics and needs of the larger ecosystems, such as supporting a new product, or as part of a geographic expansion. One of the features/benefits about outside-in architecture is that, unlike centralized architecture which requires a large investment to achieve scale, it can be implemented incrementally. As a result, you can pay – and learn – as you go.

The potential benefits of taking an incremental approach can be formidable, while the cost of failure can remain modest. However, the cost of doing nothing could be high. Competitive pressures are forcing companies in virtually all sectors to expand toward much larger ecosystems of specialized providers. Increasingly, small companies are leveraging this model to expand their scope of services. Large companies are assessing it as a potentially cost-effective alternative to centralized models. The question, then, is likely to change from “if” they will embrace outside-in architecture, to “when” – and for some companies the answer may likely be “now.”

Is social media too risky for your company?

An inadvertent social media post containing sensitive information can land a company in hot water with regulators and inflict considerable damage on the business. Given this exposure, is it possible for organizations to govern social media in ways that effectively manage risk?

If an account manager inadvertently includes sensitive firm information in an update to his own profile on a professional or personal social networking site, will regulators find out? If they do, will they really care? The answer to both questions is yes. For all of its potential value, social media exposes regulated companies to increased risk. Some may argue that this increased risk is manageable. Others, however, feel that the potential risks are just too great—the damage that regulatory non-compliance could inflict far outweighs social media’s value to the enterprise.

Explore all sides below by clicking on each button:

We don’t worry about increased risk. After all, we have a broad social media policy.
All employees are required to review and comply with company rules for social media use. This should be sufficient to manage regulatory risk.Having a social media policy is not enough.
Employees may understand what the social business policy says, but do they understand why it is important and will they remember to apply it?We don’t use social media. No risk here.
Our company does not engage in social business. Also, we block employee access to social media sites.Social media affects your company whether you currently use it or not.
Your customers use social media and you can bet your next generation of employees use it, too.There are no regulations in place that govern the use of social media in my company.
How can there be increased regulatory risk if regulations don’t specifically address social media?Current regulation is broader in scope than you may think.
Existing regulations that apply to your company could be interpreted to include social media.Our employees only use social media outside of work.
What an employee posts on a personal social media site outside of work hours does not really concern the company.Any social media communication referencing your company can raise your risk profile.
Discussions by your employees or others about their professional background, their service experience with you, or your company’s information may have regulatory consequences. Remember, regulators are watching.

Wallace D. Gregory, Jr., Partner, National Risk Management, Deloitte LLP

Social media is just another communications vehicle that organizations deploy to help them advance a strategy. As such, all of the standard regulatory and contractual obligations of confidentiality apply. What makes social media riskier than other communications vehicles like telephones or email is its extreme viral and permanent nature: Information posted on social media platforms can potentially reach millions of people in a matter of minutes. For regulatory bodies like the SEC, the FDA, FINRA and HHS that are charged with enforcing rules and regulations, one careless reference to a client’s confidential business goals or performance in a social media post may be just as problematic as inside information shared between two friends over lunch.

Some might argue that the risks associated with social media are just too high and that regulated companies should shut down their current social media initiatives. This is somewhat unrealistic. Social media is here to stay. To ignore it or shut it down is to miss out on all of the value it can bring to the enterprise. Companies deploying social media tools can manage regulatory risk effectively by working closely with employees to understand the role that social media will play in the company and the ways that it can be leveraged to help achieve goals.

But beyond setting out policies listing procedural dos and don’ts, employees should “own” their social media usage. What does this mean? They should understand how the inappropriate use of social media tools can affect them. For example, someone posting negative comments about a client can negatively impact his future promotions, raises and other opportunities at the company. Violating rules of confidentiality or other professional obligations can lead to regulatory non-compliance and legal difficulties that can impact the company as a whole and impact them personally.

Atlanta Pest Control Company, North Fulton Pest Solutions, Discusses Periodic 17 Year Cicadas

    NORCROSS, GA, August 05, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Atlanta pest control specialists, North Fulton Pest Solutions, would like to take a moment to talk about cicadas. Residents along the east coast have recently experienced or are currently experiencing the buzzing melody this orchestra of insects puts on display, notes the Atlanta pest control firm. It may be hard to believe, but cicadas live underground for nearly their entire lives, waiting for the precise moment before they die to mate and prolong their species. Timing is very precious for these creatures, as they must quickly come to the surface and find a mate. According to the Atlanta pest control company, this is why we hear that loud buzzing. The males vibrate their bodies in order to attract females. The ritual becomes that much more astounding when realizing that it only occurs once every 13 to 17 years for the periodical cicada that recently made their presence known along the east coast.

The periodic 17 year cicada differs from the annual cicada that many are more familiar with here in Atlanta. The annual cicada is larger in comparison to the periodic cicada and green bodied. The periodical cicada is black bodied and red eyed making it quite easy to distinguish from its annual counterpart.

Many people may find the cicada chorus annoying, due largely to the fact that the sheer number of bugs that participate in the musical event can create an extremely loud and repetitive noise. However, the Atlanta pest control business says it is a unique opportunity to witness one of Mother Nature's most interesting occurrences. According to Blake Edwards, Vice President of North Fulton Pest Solutions, "periodic cicadas have a tough life. They have a very short period in which to find a mate, and many of them fall victim to predators or are unsuccessful in this regard. For those lucky enough to hear the sounds of the 17 year cicada, just know it's a phenomenon nearly two decades in the making. It's really quite astounding when you think about it!"

Atlanta Tree Removal Company, Yellow Ribbon, Discusses Importance of Mulching to Preserve Trees

    NORCROSS, GA, August 12, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Atlanta tree trimming professionals, Yellow Ribbon, would like to briefly touch on the importance of laying mulch around your trees. Although it is frequently used in gardens for aesthetic purposes, a lot of users don't realize that mulch also has many functional benefits. The Atlanta tree removal firm says the material acts as a barrier against moisture loss, trapping water in the soil from evaporating. This is a must for anyone living in a dry climate or regions with little rainfall.

Trees Need to Be Mulched
By laying a thick layer of mulch around the base of the trunk, you are helping ensure its longevity and giving it what it needs to grow. In addition, notes the Atlanta tree service business, it also does wonders from a maintenance perspective. Not only does mulch help the ground retain water, it also prevents weeds from growing up and around trees. For homeowners who have a lot of trees to care for, this is one tip that can save a lot of time. Another great thing is mulch can last a long time, generally a couple of seasons, though it is often replaced more frequently for curb appeal.

According to Gary Robertson, Owner of Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts, "There is really no reason why you shouldn't mulch your trees. One of the key benefits is that it prevents soil erosion, which is the leading cause of tree deterioration. Mulch can also make your yard look like a high quality landscape design."

The Atlanta tree removal experts say mulching is one of the best things you can do, and it is very inexpensive.

Yellow Ribbon has been providing tree services in Atlanta for many years. To learn more about what they do, feel free to visit them at http://www.yellowribbontree.com.

About Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts:
Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts specializes in Atlanta tree removal and uses only the best arboricultural practices. Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts is licensed and insured, with workers compensation and a member of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).

Nokia explains how the company approaches its attractive packaging

Nokia explains how the company approaches its attractive packaging | Windows Phone Central Skip to main content Android BlackBerry iPhone / iPad Windows Phone webOS SIGN UP|LOG IN Windows Phone Central Windows Phone CentralForumsNewsReviewsHelp & How ToDevicesAppsGamesContestsDevelopersEditorials Search Shop online Cases Chargers Batteries Bluetooth & More New accessories FREE Shipping on orders over $50 Read in WPCentral App 30 Nokia explains how the company approaches its attractive packaging News By Rich Edmonds, Tuesday, Apr 30, 2013 at 2:25 pm

Nokia has published a post over on its Conversations blog, going into some detail about its packaging used for numerous products. Not only does Nokia package and fire out Windows Phones (and Asha handsets), but accessories too. The post notes the company sells over 250 different products around the world.

Chris Merrick from Nokia explains how accessories pose a difficult challenge to the teams and why the design of packaging is important:

"Accessories packaging has a difficult challenge, because the packaging really has to sell the product. It has to stand out, and it has to differentiate and communicate all by itself. We have to decide what it is we want to inform the customer about, why this is the best product for you. If we look at many of our competitors and ourselves in the past, packaging design has looked super busy: banners, stickers, icons, flags, you name it, completely un-coordinated."

Merrick continues to explain how the team had to come up with something simpler, while still being able to communicate particular information. Short, descriptive headlines are used to explain the product and its features, while a category label on the side panel helps identify the segment that particular product is within (a dock, charger, headset, etc.). 

 

Materials and design processes

It's easy to tell when a product is by Nokia. You have the brand name and distinctive colour scheme with familiar shapes. As well as the looks, the Nokia teams have also had to alter the materials used to create more effective packaging, as Ulla Uimonen explains:

"We previously used 3D vacuum formed plastic parts that created the windows for our packages. We now use die cut foldable plastic parts, which enables us to create windows that go around the corners of the package. The bigger windows bring much more light to the product and allows narrower packaging. We can showcase the product better. There’s a nice detail where we’ve used curved white cardboard underneath the product, so the card actually deflects light, creating a backlit effect. It’s only possible with a particular design."

There's also the environment to consider and Nokia isn't newcomer when it comes to caring for the planet. All materials used for Nokia packaging are recyclable, which is a rather impressive feat. It's good to see a well-known brand taking measures to reduce its impact on the environment, while producing some iconic protection for products. Be sure to read the article for more information over on Nokia's blog.

That isn't obvious, especially when you are excitedly opening your phone.
Also, our SP's seem to break the seals, so if you pick it up (right or wrong way) without holding the inner box then it falls out.

The iPhone deal is called huge sales numbers/massive customer loyalty which gives them the ability to go into a carrier and make demands on how their products are presented. Case in point... T-Mobile just started carrying iPhone and they have these huge Apple displays setup in prime space at each store (despite the fact that Samsung has made millions for TMO). Their reasoning... Look, we are already selling millions of our phones on other carriers by presenting our products in a certain way... You need to get on board.
The impressive accomplishment was Apple getting all this love back when they were first exclusive @ ATT. Someone had the courage to take a chance on doing something different.

Packaging for Rogers in Canada is atrocious and to be honest does nothing to sell the product. There has actually been some issues with almost black dust like particles all over the phones when they are taken out of the box. This is most likely due to the box and fact the phone isn't really sealed away from the outside. The plastic around the phone is loose and not sealed and the box isn't either. I was at a Rogers store in Ontario and we opened three phones and all three were dirty. Packaging could be better but I do love the actual phone!
