New Blis report pinpoints geography, mobility and psychology as the key factors impacting behaviour change leading up to the holiday season

Leave a comment

SYDNEY, Oct. 22, 2020 — Blis, the trusted leader in location-powered advertising and analytics has today launched a new global report, ‘Behaviour change is real: how brands can harness it’, in advance of the upcoming holiday season. The report looks at three key indicators for behaviour change that are impacting consumers and being impacted the most: geographical location, modifications to mobility and the psychological need for interaction.

 

 

The analysis highlights how these three factors interact and impact consumer behaviour, as seen both in our foot traffic data and sentiment surveys. This research pairs real-world behaviour with survey data from consumers and media industry professionals across Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Singapore, UAE, UK and US.

The report outlines how there is no one approach that fits all, given vastly different consumer need states and risk appetites. Consumers are out of their comfort zones. They are cocooning, and thus spending less, but in fact, appear to be splashing out more. As a result, brands also need to keep a close eye on the early embracers in any one vertical, as they are likely to be the harbingers of the next vertical to recover as well. Key findings include:

  • Geography: Patterns of behaviour vary at a localised level and confidence vs. caution varies geographically, so brands need to take a micro approach and develop more granular strategies.
  • Mobility: Public transit users are the early embracers and offer the best cues for brands about potential new targeting opportunities.
  • Psychology: The rate of return to ‘normal’ varies, not just region to region, but also person to person, where our intrinsic need for personal interaction drives more confident consumers out into daily life. Brands need to segment audiences into risk appetite.

Alex Wright, Head of Insights at Blis said, "With regions around the world exiting and entering lockdowns at different stages there is an abundance of uncertainty. This mix of confidence and concern, as well as adoption of new habits is creating bigger challenges for brands who are looking to deepen their understanding of their changing customers. This report sheds light on some of these key behaviour changes and the difference between perception and reality for consumers. Understanding  the impact of geography, mobility and psychology is key for brands to reach and engage consumers in this unusual time."

With the holiday season already beginning for some and many yearning for a level of ‘normal’, it’s imperative for brands to pay close attention to how their audience has, or hasn’t, adapted their behaviour. In such a disrupted environment, understanding the different anchor points of a consumer’s day and how they have changed will provide key insights into their mindset.

The report also highlights the cyclical path that consumer behaviour is taking as markets experience different stages of impact from COVID-19. With full recovery not yet on the horizon, a return to stability is key for bedding in new behaviours and even reverting back to old habits not long forgotten. Learn more and read the full report here.

About Blis

Blis is the trusted leader in location-powered advertising and analytics, helping brands understand, reach and engage consumers globally to deliver measurable results. Because location data is the most accurate indicator of ‘real’ behaviour and intent at scale vs any other type of data, Blis uses this data to map real-world consumer behaviours based on where people are and where they’ve been, uncovering the truth about what people actually do.

Blis’ Smart Platform provides unmatched transparency, accuracy and scale. Its four tried and tested proprietary technologies – Smart Pin, Smart Scale, Smart Places and Smart Households  – allow for more effective planning, activation and measurement for marketers and business decision makers alike.

Businesses need to understand the values and user preferences of this audience to create truly engaging experiences on innovative platforms like Snapchat." Skye Featherstone, Product Marketing Manager, Snap, Inc.

Key insights and statistics about Gen Z from the report include:

  • On average Gen Z users spent 4.1hrs per month on apps (excluding games) in Q3 2020
  • TikTok and Snapchat are the most over-indexed apps among Gen Z in nine out of ten markets analyzed, indicating the importance of a photo and video-first strategy
  • The finance and shopping app categories have experienced the strongest growth YoY with the Gen Z audience, with a 60 percent increase versus Q3 2019
  • Finance apps like Venmo and DANA are more likely to over-index on Gen Z in most markets, indicating an opportunity for mobile-first banks to capture Gen Z audiences
  • Gen Z is less likely than average to use the top 20 shopping apps, indicating opportunity for brands to expand their Gen Z reach within this space
  • Gen Z’s engagement is deeper in apps (excluding games), with 20 percent more sessions per user in top apps than older groups
  • The Core action gaming genre (led by Battle Royale games such as PUBG Mobile and Free Fire) accounted for nearly 25 percent of time spent among Gen Z gamers

Data Analytics Customers Value Choice and Simplicity; Teradata’s New Flexible Cloud Pricing Provides Both

Leave a comment

Innovative cloud pricing models include Blended Pricing – for the lowest cost at scale – and Consumption Pricing – for a true pay-as-you-go, usage-based offer

SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2020 — Recognizing that data analytics workloads, usage patterns, and utilization rates can vary widely across an organization, Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the cloud data analytics platform company, today announced flexible cloud pricing options to make it easy for enterprises to grow, and benefit from data analytics in the cloud.

In keeping with Teradata’s aim to provide its customers with simplicity and choice, the company now offers two flexible cloud pricing models: Blended and Consumption. Blended Pricing is best suited for high usage and provides the ultimate in billing predictability while delivering the lowest cost at scale. Consumption Pricing is an affordable, pay-as-you-go option best suited for ad hoc queries and workloads with typical or unknown usage that delivers cost transparency for easy departmental chargeback.

With broad availability of both models, enterprises can expect more choice, lower risk, higher efficiency, and greater transparency from Teradata. These options are crucial in today’s unpredictable market where technologies, supply chains, and customer expectations can shift abruptly, leaving companies with stranded data analytics investments if their software fails to provide enough flexibility to evolve as needs change.

"If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that change happens fast, and having simple, flexible cloud pricing options gives customers the freedom needed to optimize their data analytics investments," said Hillary Ashton, Chief Product Officer at Teradata. "Different analytic use cases have vastly different utilization patterns at different points in time, which means that having choice in pricing models enables Teradata to offer the best one for each customer scenario ranging from a small ad hoc discovery system to a large production analytics environment."

Through decades of catering to data analytics needs spanning dozens of business cycles, Teradata understands deeply what is required for firms to extract the most value from their data. Blended Pricing, which is based primarily on capacity, is optimized for high or predictable utilization. Consumption Pricing is optimized for typical to low utilization, unknown future usage, or for tactical business analytics that include frequent ad hoc queries. The ability for Teradata customers to choose the most appropriate cloud pricing model for data analytic workloads facilitates financial governance and can improve customers’ return on investment.

"The convenience of a true consumption-based pricing model – determined by actual usage of the Vantage platform for running successful queries, rather than just available capacity – is a win for customers who want to better align their investment with specific analytic outcomes," added Ashton. "It also corrects outdated perceptions about the cost required to become a Teradata customer, since there is now a risk-free, zero down option to pay only for what’s used with Vantage, the industry’s best cloud data analytics platform."

Analyst firm Gartner predicts in the report, Overcome Economic Uncertainty Through Financial Governance of Your Cloud Data Management Environment, April 2020 that, "By 2022, 75% of organizations using cloud data management will encounter budget overruns resulting in their questioning the value of using cloud services."

In order to ensure the benefits of deploying in an agile cloud environment are not negated by lack of pricing transparency and cost overruns, Teradata has developed flexible cloud pricing options to meet every company’s use case(s):

Blended Pricing

Teradata’s Blended Pricing option is an enterprise-class pricing model that couples low-cost, predictable reserved compute capacity with on-demand elasticity. Customers pay only for compute resources used or activated, plus storage.

Blended Pricing allows organizations to get cloud elasticity when needed while also benefitting from the lowest cost at scale.

Key benefits of Teradata’s Blended Pricing model include:

  • Predictability: No billing surprises – unlike other cloud analytics companies that employ inefficient auto-scaling which drives up incremental cost;
  • Lowest cost at scale: Vantage scales linearly, whereas other cloud analytics companies get increasingly inefficient as they scale; and
  • Granularity: Vantage offers incremental elasticity, which means not over-provisioning, and thus not over-paying for what’s not needed, unlike alternatives.

Consumption Pricing

Teradata’s Consumption Pricing is an innovative, usage-based option with automatic elasticity in which organizations pay only for compute resources consumed for successful queries, measured down to the kilobyte by user, plus storage. Businesses leveraging Teradata’s Consumption Pricing model need never worry about utilization, system sizing, or resource status since Teradata manages them on their behalf – and they never pay for what they do not use. For a risk-free experience, organizations can even start with zero down and no obligation.

Consumption Pricing makes it easier for customers to experiment with new analytics without fear of leaving money for unused resources on the table. Longtime Teradata customer, True Value Company – one of the world’s leading hardlines wholesalers – is one such customer now taking advantage of the company’s new Consumption Pricing model.

"As we continue on our modernization journey, it’s imperative that we are able to drive new, user-driven analytics capabilities to uncover critical business insights and operational efficiencies, all at an optimized cost," said Ron Byczynski, Director, Infrastructure, DevOps & QA at True Value. "By leveraging Teradata’s Consumption Pricing model, we will pay only for resources used, allowing us to better streamline our IT investments to ensure maximum ROI."

Key benefits of Teradata’s Consumption Pricing model include:

  • Pay only for what is used: Enables improved business efficiency and aligns investment with outcomes while not paying for unused capacity;
  • Automated elasticity: Since resource sizing is embedded in the offer, now customers no longer need to think about sizing, saving them time on capacity planning;
  • Cost allocation: Easy departmental chargeback on data analytics costs based on users’ actual resource consumption; and
  • Zero obligation: A risk-free opportunity to use Teradata Vantage in the cloud.

Vantage: the modern cloud data analytics platform

Teradata Vantage is the modern cloud data analytics platform that unifies data lakes, data warehouses, and analytics with new data sources and types. Built for a hybrid multi-cloud reality, Vantage solves the world’s most complex data challenges at scale.

Both Teradata’s Blended and Consumption Pricing models offer customers the best of what the Vantage platform has to offer, including:

  • As-a-service delivery: Teradata provisions and manages each customer in a dedicated public cloud environment, enabling users to focus on answers instead of non-differentiating tasks;
  • Dynamic resource allocation: Field-proven workload management helps customers prioritize users and queries, set guaranteed performance levels, and control spend; and
  • Software optimization: Sophisticated algorithms minimize compute and IO consumption, streamlining throughput and often eliminating the need to add the non-budgeted compute resources required by others.

Availability

Blended Pricing is now available for every Vantage deployment option worldwide.

Consumption Pricing is available for Vantage on AWS and Vantage on Azure globally. Availability for Vantage on Google Cloud is expected within the first half of 2021.

Clarivate Delivers Litigation Data from Darts-ip Through CPA Global Innography

Leave a comment

LONDON, Oct. 15, 2020 — Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CCC), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, announced today the integration of Darts-ip™ case law data with the Innography™ IP intelligence and analytics solution, to provide significantly enhanced strategic decision making across the IP lifecycle.


The integration follows the acquisition of CPA Global by Clarivate, and will see corporate IP departments and law firm customers benefit from multi-jurisdictional litigation data from 141 countries – covering millions of patent cases across 3,000 courts in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. The insights from big data analysis of more than 1.8 million patent cases will inform customers in their patent research, competitive intelligence, portfolio strategy, licensing, litigation, M&A due diligence, freedom to operate and more.

This is the third integration of Darts-ip into Clarivate products in under a year following the acquisition of the company:

  • In March 2020, Darts-ip global IP case data was integrated with CompuMark™. By adding trademark cases to the world’s largest trademark database, trademark professionals gained greater context for their most important decisions when building and protecting their trademark portfolio, including the litigiousness and history of a specific mark or owner across the full spectrum of trademark research solutions: screening, clearance and protection.
  • In July 2020, Darts-ip was integrated with Derwent Innovation™. The combined solution gave our customers greater context to support better, more confident decisions when building and protecting their IP portfolios. By integrating patent case data with Derwent Innovation, customers gained a more complete picture of potential obstacles with litigation history, allowing for easy assessment of immediate risks and opportunities, improved efficiency, accelerated decision making and reduced cost.
  • Now, Darts-ip has been integrated with Innography, connecting international litigation data and patent data with ultimate subsidiary and parent assignments to facilitate seamless analysis and provide a fuller picture across jurisdictions. The expanded offering will include enhanced definition of the industry renowned PatentStrength™ metric, to indicate the external strength of any asset in a portfolio, now updated to factor even more patent data from across the globe.

Jeff Roy, President, IP Group at Clarivate, said: "With all our acquisitions, including CPA Global and Darts-ip, it’s important for us to focus on immediately delivering value to our customers. This integration represents one of the most popular Innography requests from our customers. We’re listening, and we are hard at work helping our customers lower their total cost of doing business with customized packages and fully integrated solutions.  Today’s announcement is a terrific early indicator of how our customers will benefit from the combination of Clarivate and CPA Global, and we’re excited about what the future will bring."

"With the integration of Darts-ip into three Clarivate products in under a year following the acquisition of the company, we can now provide IP professionals with the opportunity to take a truly global deep dive into IP data, make smarter decisions faster and mitigate risks based on actionable intelligence. IP analysis plays a crucial role in strategic decision making and with these three integrations, customers will be better equipped to handle their next challenge, lower their total cost of doing business and seize new commercial opportunities."

Teradata Becomes Only Data Warehouse and Analytics Provider with Hybrid Multi-cloud Offerings Across Top Three Public Cloud Vendors

SINGAPORE, Oct. 13, 2020 — Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the cloud data analytics platform company, today announced general availability of Teradata Vantage on Google Cloud. This as-a-service offering provides access to Vantage – the powerful data and analytics platform that unifies analytics, data lakes and data warehouses – using increasingly popular Google Cloud resources. Teradata provisions and maintains secure, scalable environments on Google Cloud so that customers can focus on using data as one of their greatest assets.

This expansion of cloud data analytics options gives Teradata customers deployment flexibility. Teradata is the only data warehouse and analytics company to provide consistent features and software across on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud environments on all three of the top public clouds. This flexibility includes both license and application portability that makes migrations to Google Cloud faster, with lower risk.

"Teradata is committed to providing the best enterprise data analytics in the cloud. For us, this means offering our customers modern data analytics, but also flexibility with deployment options that don’t limit choice or lock them in. Customers seem to appreciate this strategy, as our annual recurring revenue from cloud offerings doubled in 2019 and is on track to double again this year," said Hillary Ashton, Chief Product Officer at Teradata. "Every company’s cloud strategy is different: for customers interested in cloud data analytics offerings using Google Cloud, Teradata is the only partner to meet their needs today, as well as tomorrow as their needs evolve."

Subscriptions to Vantage on Google Cloud include the latest Teradata software, Google Cloud compute and storage resources, and environment management. Standard benefits of using the cloud for data analytics – agility to respond quickly to emerging situations as well as freeing up money and time to focus on more valuable activities – are amplified with as-a-service offerings. Teradata manages the performance, security, availability, and operations of a customer’s analytics infrastructure using Google Cloud, including detailed tasks like software patches, version upgrades and security monitoring with a 99.9% availability SLA.

"Organizations need to drive real value from their data, and we are delighted to partner with Teradata to help them do so," said Kevin Ichhpurani, Corporate Vice President, Global Ecosystem at Google Cloud. "Bringing Teradata Vantage to Google Cloud provides our joint customers with a seamless path to hybrid cloud data storage and analytics, leveraging global, scalable infrastructure as well as Google Cloud’s differentiated capabilities in AI/ML."

Specifically designed, cloud-first elements in Teradata Vantage add further benefits for joint Teradata-Google Cloud customers:

  • Size and Scale: With support for large configurations (up to 128 virtual machines) and a 99.9% availability guarantee, Vantage on Google Cloud offers customers with exceptional data needs a new public cloud solution.
  • First Party Service Integration: Users can join with and query data in Google Cloud Storage, Persistent Disk, and soon also Dataproc, as well as integrate with preferred data pipeline, business intelligence, and visualization tools such as Pub/Sub, Cloud Functions, Data Fusion, Looker, and more.
  • Customer Experience: Google Cloud’s Live Migration technology helps Vantage on Google Cloud customers mitigate the impact of both planned and unplanned maintenance by migrating running instances to new ones instead of requiring them to be rebooted, soothing business interruptions.
  • Separation of Compute and Storage: Coupled with simple point-and-click elasticity, independent resource scaling enables Vantage on Google Cloud to more efficiently match customer workload demands.
  • Vantage Software Consistency: Customers can re-use previous Teradata investments and eliminate recoding when migrating from on-premises to Google Cloud, thereby saving money and reducing risk.

As with all Vantage delivered as-a-service deployments, Vantage on Google Cloud provides near real-time data analytics with multi-dimensional scalability and concurrency. Workload management on Vantage offers unrestricted data analytics and a seamless user experience that does not require knowledge about where a particular dataset resides. Support for many popular data analytics languages – SQL, R, Python, SAS and Java – is included and simplified budgeting via predictable subscription pricing with no hidden fees eliminates billing surprises to ensure financial clarity.

Availability

Teradata Vantage on Google Cloud is now generally available worldwide. Google Cloud regions from which Vantage on Google Cloud can be delivered are in countries including Australia, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom and the United States.
