The Marketer as Technologist | CustomerThink

by marketingIO in Scoop.it Comments: 0 tags: marketing technology management

While large companies have already started moving towards marketing technology management, small and medium businesses are mostly too under-resourced in marketing and IT to allocate permanent resources for this task. In this case, it will save considerable time and costs to outsource CMT’s tasks to a trusted partner. While it takes considerable investments, otherwise a company can lose any competitive advantage it currently holds. Digital marketing is non-negotiable in the 21st century, as is the ability to interpret the data it brings into the organization. There is a difficult yet rewarding road ahead for today’s marketers.

Digital Tech Spending is Outpacing the Performance of Digital Marketers – MediaBistro

by marketingIO in Scoop.it Comments: 0 tags: marketing technology management, skills

Digital marketing budgets are growing at a breakneck pace, but according to a new report, investments in the essential digital marketing skills needed to handle these larger budgets is lagging far behind. This is particularly true in high-engagement channels and capabilities, such as mobile, video and testing. Translation: although spending on digital technology may be up, the performance of marketers continues to remain stagnant.

BCG, in their recently published report, “A Disconnect and a Divide in Digital-Marketing Talent,” cites that worldwide spending on digital advertising topped $180 billion dollars in 2016, and double-digit growth is expected for 2020.

More troubling, is that these marketers’ scores didn’t budge within an 18-month period. This signals a growing divide between mega digital advertising budgets and the strength of the capabilities that actually generate strong return on investment (ROI).

Key marketing and data technology opportunities and challenges for 2017 | C-Suite

by marketingIO in Scoop.it Comments: 0 tags: marketing technology management, marketing technology planning

1. Real-time decision making finally gets real
Many organisations looked into or acquired technology to facilitate real-time when it first emerged as a leading trend, but it is only now that many are actually practically applying it. 

2. Taking steps towards cognitive computing
The next few years will see organisations start to get to grips with what cognitive computing can offer. While there is much fascination with the potential for cognitive, there is still an element of nervousness from many organisations, especially when it comes to A.I. This is not unfounded, as A.I. has not yet reached the point where it can run without careful human monitoring. 

3. The growing need for data management and governance

4. Getting your digital estate in order
Organisations are still failing to fully understand their digital estates and the systems they already have. Many are fairly digitally mature, with estates that have grown at a rapid pace. Due to the particularly high turn-over in senior marketing roles, coupled with increasing marketing technology spend, businesses are likely to have multiple systems in place, which are not being utilised or integrated properly.

4 tips for buying cloud management software – NetworkWorld

by marketingIO in Scoop.it Comments: 0 tags: marketing technology management, network management

“IaaS needs its own tools
Consuming cloud-based virtual machines, storage, databases and other services is such a complex issue that users can benefit greatly from using a dedicated management platform for IaaS, especially if they’re managing a hybrid cloud computing environment.

Two basic options
All the public IaaS cloud vendors – Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IBM SoftLayer, etc. – have their own native tools for managing their products.  The other option is for users to buy a CMP, also referred to as a Cloud Brokerage Service (CSB). Companies such as RightScale allow users to manage their AWS and Azure resources from a single management console. 

What to look for in cloud management software
-Cloud management and brokerage of services
-Expense Management
-Operational Monitoring
-Governance

Cloud management market is immature”
