    MultiCast Corporate Communications

    Posted by admin on January 7th, 2010 and filed under corporate organization | 1 Comment »

    When attempting to deliver rich media executive broadcasts within a corporate environment (like CEO weekly company addresses, etc) network bandwidth consumption can be of concern. In traditional video delivery (known as unicasting this is what is done with Flash video) for each user accessing the stream a new thread is opened and delivered. Lets say the video stream is a 300k one. If one user hits it that means 300k of network bandwidth is consumed, if two access it then its 600k, and so on. It is really simple math and it is easy to see why the operations folks at any organization can become a little uneasy about delivering high volume viewing, especially live, events. There is a better way however.
    In this episode of Michael on the Go I discuss the use of a feature already owned by most organizations and they dont even realize it. Multicasting is a feature of Windows Media Services which organizations get as part of Windows Server. Own Windows Server then you own Windows Media Services. In this episode I talk about how multicasting can enable large scale live viewing of contents simultaneously by thousands of end users without adversely impacting your environment. Interested? Then watch the clip and find out how you can deliver compelling content and training via a TV guide like experience to your users. For more info visit my blog at http://socialmedia.mikegannotti.com

    Building An Effective Vendor Management Organization (VMO)

    Posted by admin on January 7th, 2010 and filed under organization management | No Comments »

    Excerpt from Forrester’s Services And Sourcing Forum 2007. As firms bring more discipline and maturity to their IT organization one of their key focus areas is vendor management. The bulk of what most of today’s vendor management groups do is contracting and pricing. However, the most successful VMOs have cracked the code on vendor governance — tiering suppliers, building executive relationships, and reviewing vendor performance systematically beyond the base line SLAs. Forrester Research Vice President John McCarthy looks at some best practice case studies for vendor management. November 9, 2007 in Orlando.

    Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) is an independent technology and market research company that provides pragmatic and forward-thinking advice to global leaders in business and technology.

    International Business Development: Applying Managerial Skills to Social, Environmental, and Health Care Problems
    Sebastian Teunissen [Executive Director, Clausen Center for International Business and Policy, UC Berkeley]
    Abstract:
    Technological advances are helping to create new solutions for some of the gravest problems facing developing countries. Whether the objective is to improve living conditions, eradicate disease or fight poverty, technologies have shown gratifying results. The individual s involved are incredibly talented and dedicated engineers, scientists, doctors or educators. But, rarely, are they equally prepared to be managers of the organizations whose creation their innovations so frequently spark. All too often, the challenges of managing the organizations themselves diminish the effectiveness of the underlying solution. Our program has helped many such managers by developing business plans, marketing strategies or related projects that help to guide the organization towards its goals in a more efficient and cost effective manner. This presentation will describe a number of these projects, the challenges they faced and suggested solutions.

    Biography:
    Sebastian Teunissen is Adjunct professor at the Haas School of Business and Executive Director of the Clausen Center for International Business and Policy. He manages the International Business Development (IBD) Program and the Seminars in International Business Program at Haas. IBD sends teams of consultants to work on projects, for clients, throughout the world. Teams have worked in more than 67 countries to date.
