We invite you to join our Technology Forum on March 25, 2014, 5:00pm - 7:00pm at Hewlett-Packard in Alpharetta (Register Here!). Our topic "“Content is King and Distribution is Queen; Playing the Right Cards in the Next Decade” will be presented by Neil Sharma:
Over the last decade, digital content has remained a critical element that has driven some amazing services. This trend is not going to change in the future. The next decade is about personal digital imprints, the analytics behind them, the myriad ways of collecting the data and then distributing focused responses to the content. Everyone is getting into the act, whether it is a pharmaceutical company, the government or the grocery store down the street. If consumers think that they have seen all the platforms for content delivery like tablets, devices, televisions and smart watches, then the next decade will clearly surpass the current distribution mediums.
The question to ask is if companies are playing in the right space and how they should capitalize on the right types of partnerships.
Neil Sharma has been in the Mobility space since the year 2000. Creating the original joint venture to deliver VCAST solutions with Verizon and Microsoft (first nationwide wireless video streaming solution), he has worked at some very innovative global corporations like Samsung (Vice President and General Manager) and NTT DoCoMo (Senior Vice President) on content, retail distribution and hardware. Because he has an unorthodox background (starting out as an educator and small business owner), Neil approaches topics with both cynicism and optimism to shed light on trends that will shape the future of technological innovations.
