However, the benefit of building solutions in the cloud is not just about technology innovation, but also the ROI from a business perspective. As someone who manages a team focused on industry, can you share some more information on the business ROI of building solutions in the cloud? [02:34] The driving force behind cloud. [02:47] Data is growing to 44 zettabytes by the end of 2020 and will grow to 163 zettabytes per year by 2025. [03:15] Analysts predict analytics to be a $200M global market by 2020. [03:31] 2020 will see $1T in IT spending related to cloud. [04:38] The business benefits of cloud: Cloud provides businesses with operational agility, quicker time to market, security, and reliability. [07:51] Cloud eliminates hardware refreshes and its associated maintenance costs. [08:25] Tell us about Microsoft’s online distribution model called the Commercial Marketplace. [09:15] B2B buyers prefer to gather their own information online and not interact with a sales rep. [10:22] The online marketplace is a distribution model for partners to see their software and services. [10:40] There are 2 storefronts. The first is called Azure Marketplace which is predominately suited for IT professionals looking for technology building blocks, like API’s, etc. [10:55] The second one is called Appsource, which is focused more on line of business software solutions. [14:55] Can you share a few stories that highlight how businesses have become extremely successful by partnering with Microsoft? [21:09] Covid-19 has impacted everyone, and we’re now living in what’s called the “new normal”. Can you share with us some of the work you’re doing to help partners succeed in today’s “remote only” world? [26:06] I’ve really enjoyed hearing the success stories about the Commercial Marketplace. For people considering joining the Microsoft Partnership, how transformative is the Commercial Marketplace in helping people scale and grow their businesses? [26:40] The Commercial Marketplace is as transformative for businesses as cloud is being from a technology perspective. [30:19] Where can people go to learn more about the Commercial Marketplace? Paul: They can go to https://azure.com and https://aka.ms/SellThroughMarketplace. [31:00] And how can people connect with you, personally. Paul: You can connect with me on Twitter at @PaulJFMaher and on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauljmaher/. [31:18] Do you have any parting words of wisdom to share with the audience? #AskTheCEO with Paul Maher

[05:36] While the trends are showing that companies are flocking to the Cloud, due to cost reductions and other benefits, according to a report by research firm 451 Research, "Most companies end up spending more on their cloud infrastructures than they did with installations in their own data centers."

[05:36] A successful Cloud Migration requires applying common sense and governance. [09:55] How to keep your Cloud / IaaS costs down.

[12:48] Let's talk about compliance. We all know about the new data protection regulation, GDPR, and the seriousness of not adhering to its mandates. Yet, this presents a new set of problems, where businesses are incurring, sometimes, large expenses, for compliance.

[24:23] Ken Herron - CMO Intelligent IoT Messaging Company, Unified Inbox, Orlando, FL - Microsoft is a BIG company. And Azure is an equally big platform.

In London, David M. Brear, Simon Taylor, and Sarah Kocianski were our hosts, joined by: Marieke Flament, European Managing Director and CMO of Circle, Simon Vans-Colina, Engineer at Monzo, and Daniel Hegarty, CEO of Habito. Over in Atlanta, Sam Maule and Doug Bobenhouse are joined by three pairs of guests: Rob Frohwein, CEO of Kabbage and Shannon Johnson, Group President of Financial Institutions at Cardlytics; next up was Kathryn Petralia, COO and Co-Founder of Kabbage, and Andrew Morris, Chief Content Officer at Money20/20; rounding out the show we had Howard Bush, Principal on Industry Experiences and Banking and Capital Markets Lead at Microsoft and Ginger Schmeltzer, Owner and Principal at GDS Advisors, LLC. Coming on to incredible music and an epic trailer we kick things off with insight into challenger banks. The UK’s digital banks may be profitable sooner than you think Monzo, Starling and Tandem all expect to have hit profitability by 2020 or sooner. The panel examines if Monzo can hit profitability so soon given losses quadrupling recently, Starling's profitability from new revenue streams like business bank accounts and marketplace partnerships, and Tandem acquiring 250K customers since the start of 2018. Next up Starling Bank ditching the purple for a new set of cards, cards for the bank's consumer accounts will be teal, while its business accounts will be turning navy blue. And all cards are portait. Just by like we have Megan Caywood of Starling fame in the audience to show it off. We move on to Snapchat shutting down Snapcash and giving the space over to Venmo. Snapchat will abandon the peer-to-peer payment space on August 30th. The service was powered by Square Cash. Snapcash gave Snapchat a way to get users to connect payment methods to the app, which were vital to the company’s aim to become a commerce platforms where you can shop without leaving the app. Launched in 2014, ahead of Venmo and Zelle but has ultimately lost customers to both companies. And finally the London team takes a look at what happened to celeb-endorsed cryptocurrencies. Heading over to Atlanta Doug and Sam kick things off with Rob Frohwein and Shannon Johnson on Uber and Venmo partnering to deliver a new payment experience. The four discuss Uber and Venmo are partnering to deliver a seamless new payment experience available with Uber and Uber Eats. More than 6M payments on Venmo mentioned “Uber” in their description over the past year, how big a deal the partnership is, how important it is that Venmo is offering bank-like solutions without being a bank, and Venmo's security. Next up, Kathry Petralia and Andrew Morries walk on stage to a great deal of applause, to discuss Facebook Google and others uniting to let customers transfer data between apps. They take a look at whether this is a bonus for start ups, what it means for privacy and data security and why Apple is conspicuously absent from this initiative. Howard Bush and Ginger Schemltzer are on stage next to discuss VISA MoneyGram and Visa Team preparing to deliver real-time global P2P, whether it's a digital and mobile payment option targeting milennials, if cash is still king, why the plan is starting with Mexico and the Philippines and where they'll go next.

Industry Experiences: An Amazing Opportunity with Industry Revealing Cloud Technology. In this series of the podcast, I sit down with industry leaders to explore the digital transformation disrupting almost every industry In this episode I had the great pleasure of speaking with Paul Maher, General Manager of the Industry Experiences Team at Microsoft. As part of the Cloud and AI Engineering organization at Microsoft, Paul leads a team of industry experts that link vertical industries with Azure engineers to address current and future cloud computing needs for sectors such as: Insurance Manufacturing Retail Banking and capital markets Healthcare With Microsoft’s renewed commitment to an industry approach, Paul helped build the new Industry Experiences team from the ground up. By sitting within the engineering practice, he and his multidiscipline team have direct lines to the Azure technologists, as well as customers experiencing digital transformation first-hand. Paul notes that this signals that Microsoft is striving to be more than a best-of-breed technology company — it is a true industry partner. We discuss the “feedback loop” function of the Industry Experiences team. Internally, Paul explains that his team represents industry needs and concerns, and provides insights to the engineering function for roadmap and planning for Azure development. Externally, the team uses technical knowledge to engage with industry leaders by sharing knowledge and insights as organizations move to the cloud. Really, Paul sees his team as the “eyes and ears” of the industry from IT infrastructure, to decision-makers at the early phases of digital transformation, to partners building solutions for vertical industries on the Azure platform. Paul shares a bit about his professional journey and how his current role brings together several areas of interest and expertise. An experienced software developer, Paul built a cloud infrastructure for a financial services company and brings some of those key learnings into his role at Microsoft. In particular, Paul highlights: Clarifying the business motivations for moving to the cloud Understanding the benefits that the cloud offers Embracing the efficiency, scale and innovation provided by cloud solutions Shifting to an agile, continuous delivery approach to development Collaborating with experienced developers and learning from those projects Building a strategy for managing and supporting the cloud solution post-deployment Paul also emphasizes the need to upskill existing team members as needed, and bringing in people with experience that can help. We discuss the acceleration of cloud adoption across industry. Paul attributes this to the maturity of the Azure cloud platform and its proven capabilities, along with the software and hardware that accompanies it. Paul also sees existing cloud adoption as a confidence boost and competitive edge for businesses in the initial phases of digital transformation. He also points to evolving industry needs around increased data, tighter budgets and the next generation of the workforce. With this in mind, cloud-based tools such as big data, AI, and blockchain are coming together to do more than ever before at a more affordable price point. According to Paul, his team is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of industry. Microsoft has a rich history of partnerships, so using this model to work with vertical industries is a natural progression of that legacy. He also points to the pedigree of the Azure engineering team to deliver value to customers quickly. Feedback from customers and partners is also a key benefit, and Paul points to public betas as an example. Combine all that with Microsoft’s commitment to developers, and Azure is well on its way to becoming the platform of choice for customers in any sector.
