22. What Applications are Your Users Using?
Your users are using this at home …

23. What Applications are Your Users Using?
And this …

24. Do you think they really want to use this?
Do you think they want to use this?

25. Do you think they really want to use this?
Or this?

26. They want something like this!

27. Or this!

I know what your thinking …
Your users aren’t like others.
They use the apps we tell them.
They do all their business
on approved tools.

29. © 2013 IBM Corporation
You're wrong.
More than 50% of business users bypass internal
applications for public tools.

30. © 2013 IBM Corporation
Because the internal tools are:
Too slow
Too restrictive
Not accessible at home
Not on the mobile device
Not Sexy

(ages 18 to 29) use
social media.
35% of those over
age 65 do

36. Top executives: social media
is for thee, but not for me
• 84% of CEOs and VPs say they use
social media to help make purchasing
decisions

media profiles on FB, Twitter, Youtube,
etc.
• 27% of C-Level executives actively

twitter accounts

40. It’s Not about Big Data, It’s about Messy Data
• This isn’t a Hadoop Problem
