Worst thing about having taken business classes is that I see people complain about bullshit companies are pulling and a part of my brain goes "Oh, that's an effective tactic for cost reduction" or something around those lines. And then the part of my brain that is Not a wannabe businessman is just like "Bro."
#speculation nation#or anything on data management or anything like that. bfkshfmsbd#been learning about company perspectives and what have you. unfortunately i understand businesses more than i ever planned to.#such is the IT major at my school </3 i did already finish my business classes already#but im in data governance class now which deals a lot with the ways companies handle their data.#learning about policies and harm reduction tactics and data lifecycles and what have you#looking at the scaffolding of a company's data system and recognizing just how fragile it all is.#a side effect of all this is me feeling less angry about websites trying to make money.#advertisements and subscription services are aggravating. but hosting a website is *expensive*.#if they cant at least break even then the website is a resource drain and isnt sustainable in the long run.#not unless it's a damned passion project of a bigger conglomerate. and you'll find those are exceedingly rare.#so im annoyed by advertisements as much as the next person. but if theyre kept relatively unobtrusive then i dont mind them too much.#now ads that pop up to cover the whole screen. or god forbid youtube's unskippable 30+ second ads#THOSE are so obnoxious. the youtube ads especially.#had a few of those some weeks back when prepping my presentation that had me wanting to tear my hair out.#30+ seconds and NO SOUND EITHER. literally ridiculous.#anyways im definitely not a business sympathizer Especially when it comes to predatory practices#but for those more daily functions kinds of things... idk man sometimes these things just gotta happen.

IBM Maximo AWS Deployment Strategies
The Business Value of IBM Maximo, a recent IDC report that surveyed 9 companies with an average of 8,500 employees, found that adopting IBM Maximo resulted in a business benefit of USD 14.6 million per year per organization, 43% less unplanned downtime, and USD 8.6 million in total equipment cost avoidances.
One comprehensive, cloud-based application platform for asset monitoring, management, predictive maintenance, and reliability planning is IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS). Maximo optimizes performance, extends asset lifecycles, and reduces downtime and costs for high-value assets using AI and analytics. Hosting Maximo on a scalable infrastructure maximizes performance, hence the current tendency is to shift it to the cloud. In this trip, MAS migration and deployment on AWS Cloud are gaining popularity.
The growing demand for Maximo AWS Cloud migration
Migrating to cloud helps enterprises improve operational resilience and dependability while updating software with minimal effort and infrastructure constraints. Due to the growing demand for data-driven asset management, firms must aggregate data from diverse departments to identify trends, generate predictions, and make better asset management decisions.
Last April, IBM said Maximo 7.6 and add-on support would stop in September 2025. All Maximo EAM customers must upgrade to the latest cloud-based MAS. Maximo migration and modernization are become increasingly significant to clients.
IBM has released new containerized versions of Maximo Application Suite as a Service (MAS SaaS) on AWS Marketplace with Bring Your Own License (BYOL) to assist Maximo migration to AWS. MAS SaaS on AWS is another milestone in Maximo’s integration of Monitor, Health, and Visual Inspection into a unified suite.
What makes MAS SaaS distinct
IBM Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) specialists use best practices to continuously maintain and administer MAS SaaS, a subscription-based AWS service. This partnership gives customers an industry-leading IBM asset management system underpinned by AWS’s size, agility, and cost-efficiency.
Upgrades and migrations to MAS 8 are possible with MAS SaaS. The data update is similar to prior upgrades, but ROSA and other dependencies require architecture changes. The migration is comparable to how clients transitioned from on-premise to Maximo EAM SaaS Flex, but with MAS changes. Perpetual on-premises customers would stop paying Service & Support (S&S) and purchase a SaaS subscription, on-premises Subscription License customers would start a new subscription, and existing MAS Flex and MAS Managed Service customers would start a new subscription to migrate to MAS SaaS.
Our IBM Consulting Cloud Accelerator (ICCA) technology lets firms plan migration and upgrade strategies before investing.
Maximo migration strategy of a global energy firm
IBM worked closely with an energy company confronting the following challenges:
Infrastructure needed for latest Maximo version takes longer.
WebSphere, Maximo’s core, experienced high-availability and performance difficulties.
Lack of data fabric and integration layer hinders cross-application data interchange.
Complex setup, failures, and security with manual end-to-end deployment.
Since Maximo Application Suite 8 (MAS8) tackles industry issues like failure risk, escalating maintenance costs, sustainability, and compliance laws, the customer chose it. The client chose AWS Cloud for its deployment flexibility, scalability, high availability, and secure architecture.
Approach to solution
This is how IBM accelerated the energy company’s Maximo move to AWS:
Used Infra as a code to upgrade Maximo from 7.6.0.9 to 7.6.1.2.
IaC allowed instance spin-up for auto scaling. This automation reduces the time to spin up and execute the new environment and addresses multi-AWS availability zone deployment latency.
Used AWS DMS for data migration and schema conversion.
IaC spun the DR environment on demand to reduce database replication (DR) infrastructure and expense. DR capabilities update data in availability zone and DR area.
Achieved data exchange across applications using IBM Cloud Pak for Data and standardized integration using IBM Cloud Pak for Integration components.
Solution components
Maximum Enterprise Application Management (EAM) has a 3-tier design with these components:
HTTP/Web Tier and Application Tier using IBM WebSphere and HIS installed EC2 instance under private subnet for application security.
Database Tier uses AWS Oracle RDS with replication for DR under private subnet.
AWS best practices were used to configure VPC with public and private subnets.
Application servers and deployment manager were autoscaled by Auto Scaling Group.
Maximum web-based UI resolution for external access using AWS Route 53.
WAF was the initial line of defense against web exploits.
Integration of Terraform and CFT IaC scripts provided autoscaling architecture.
AWS Reference Architecture
Max on RedHat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) helps clients
Containerized MAS 8.0 runs on RedHat OpenShift. AWS, IBM, and RedHat developed an IBM MAS on ROSA reference architecture to help customers inexperienced with production containerization. ROSA, a fully managed, turnkey application platform, supports IBM MAS configuration and offloads cluster lifecycle management to RedHat and AWS, allowing organizations to focus on application deployment and innovation. This means IBM MAS clients don’t need to develop, administer, or maintain RedHat OpenShift clusters.
Operating Model and Maximo Migration
Top 3 Maximo AWS migration accelerators
Clients can migrate to the cloud using three IBM MAS deployment methods on AWS Cloud:
ROSA-powered MAS SaaS on AWS
ROSA-powered AWS MAS
Customer-hosted ROSA
Why use customer-hosted ROSA
The customer-hosted ROSA option for hosting IBM MAS in a customer’s VPC with ROSA is powerful. ROSA is perfect for MAS deployments because it seamlessly deploys, scales, and manages containerized applications.
The benefits of this choice are enormous. Full control over the infrastructure while still subject to the organization’s monitoring, controls, and governance standards allows businesses to customize and adjust the environment to their needs. This control includes adding MAS integrations and enforcing cloud security and governance requirements. ROSA charges are combined into one AWS bill and drawn from any AWS enterprise agreement, simplifying financial management.
AWS enterprise agreements and Compute Savings Plans offer infrastructure savings for MAS implementations. Because the ROSA cluster operates under the customer’s AWS account, customers can buy upfront ROSA contracts and get a one-year or three-year ROSA service charge discount.
Why IBM for Maximo AWS migration?
Any modernization effort must include cloud migration. Cloud migration is not a one-size-fits-all method, and each organization faces unique cloud adoption difficulties.
IBM Consulting’s Application Modernization offering helps clients migrate and modernize AWS applications faster, cheaper, and more efficiently, reducing technical debt and accelerating digital initiatives while minimizing business risk and improving business agility.
IBM offers unique cloud migration services to accelerate customer application migration to AWS:
Cloud migration factory capabilities including proven frameworks and processes, automation, migrating templates, security policies, and AWS-specific migration squads speed up delivery.
IBM Garage Methodology, IBM’s cloud services delivery capabilities, ROSA, and AWS Migration tools and accelerators accelerate migration and cloud adoption.
ICCA, IBM’s proprietary framework for migration and modernization, reduces risk. ICCA for AWS Cloud automates various modernization procedures, simplifying and speeding up company agility. Before investing, businesses can plan migration and modernization strategies. Discover IBM Consulting Cloud Accelerator for AWS Cloud.
Our well-defined pattern-based migration methodology includes re-factor, re-platform, and containerization using AWS managed services and industry-leading tools to remove and optimize technical debt.
Finally, IBM offers customizable t-shirt-sized price models for small, medium, and large migration sizes, ensuring clients’ migration scope is obvious.
IBM helps clients migrate applications, like Maximo to AWS Cloud
In conclusion, clients seek IBM’s expertise to:
1.Upgrade Maximo 7.6x (expiring 2025) to MAS 8.
2.On-premise workload to AWS Cloud for elastic, scalable, and highly available infrastructure and runtime
IBM Consulting can help

Key Considerations When Developing Strategies to Manage Costs and Compliance
Oracle license management is an important part of effective SAM strategy for organizations that use Oracle software. As we shall see, getting compliance and controlling costs is no easy feat especially with the Oracle’s Unlimited License Agreement and VMware. You will find useful and important information here, such as what Oracle License Audits are and how to deal with Oracle ULA Renewal.
Why Oracle License Audits Are Important
Oracle also performs Oracle License Audits periodically in order to check compliance with licenses among the client-base. These audits forecast the consumption of Oracle products against the organizations entitlement and can often highlight areas of under or over-consumption.
Audit planning Paradigm entails the examination of the systems that are used in applications, databases, and virtualization. Audits cannot be avoided but your organization needs to be ready for them without any form of interferences and compliance checks and documentation simply help with this.
Oracle Licensing On Vmware An Overview
Lattic provides detailed information on how application virtualization technologies such as VMware makes Oracle licensing challenging. In licensing related to VMware environment, Oracle tends to take a holistic approach by evaluating the whole environment, regardless of the fact that the Oracle software is running on only a few hosts. This approach might prove costly if not well managed as it is evident from the following points.
However, this is another area of Oracle Licensing VMware where risk is hugely determined by familiarity with the tool. But the right approach to partitioning and deployment coupled with consulting advice will make it easier to approach the issue of licensing in virtualisation environments
Decoding the Oracle License Expense
The Oracle License Cost varies depending on the number of users or processors or deployment scenarios. Currently Oracle has flexibility of offering perpetual licenses and subscription license; however, identifying the cheapest option is quite challenging.
Companies can also use the Oracle Technology Price List for more information about the prices offered according to product/service offers. However, this documentation can be exhaustive and may require professional assistance when rendering meaning on the document on behalf of organizations.
Explaining Oracle ULA Certification
An Oracle ULA Certification is a significant when an organization is keen to certify or terminate an Unlimited License Agreement. In this process, companies state the true consumption of the Oracle products and organizes the rights based on that.
For a company to acquire accurate certification then it has to closely monitor its deployment, which most firms seek to achieve through consulting firms. Any mistake or wrong statement that may occur during Oracle ULA Certification then may lead to penalties or incur costing of extra license.
The Oracle ULA Lifecycle Management
An Oracle ULA is a contractual agreement that allows the client unrestricted usage on selected Oracle products within a given time frame forever, transaction volume scalability, and predictable pricing costs. However, such a system presupposes appropriate control since it may lead to non-compliance.

Breaking Into the Circular Economy: Sustainable Business Opportunities for Entrepreneurs
In recent years, the circular economy has emerged as a transformative model that rethinks how we produce, consume, and dispose of products. Unlike the traditional linear economy, which follows a 'take, make, dispose' approach, the circular economy promotes a closed-loop system where waste is minimised, resources are reused, and sustainability is prioritised. For entrepreneurs, this shift offers exciting market opportunities to innovate, create sustainable solutions, and make a positive impact on the environment. In this blog, we will explore the concept of the circular economy, examine its sustainable business potential, and highlight market opportunities for entrepreneurs eager to embark on a sustainable journey.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/41fd8a96b617e0a3deeaa43624f4b210/bd012b8984c04281-55/s540x810/b3c8480fc5737acf92507e54abcd837aa5a060fe.jpg)
Market Opportunities for Entrepreneurs in the Circular Economy
Resource Recovery and Recycling
One of the primary pillars of the circular economy is resource recovery, which involves reclaiming materials from waste products to be reused in new production cycles. Entrepreneurs can find lucrative market opportunities by establishing businesses that focus on recycling and repurposing waste, whether it be plastics, metals, or electronics.
A recycling-focused business can cater to both consumers and other industries. For instance, recycled plastic can be transformed into new packaging materials, or e-waste can be dismantled to extract valuable components like gold and silver for use in new products. With increased attention to sustainable waste management and the regulatory push towards recycling, resource recovery offers a promising avenue for sustainable business growth.
Product Lifecycle Extension and Refurbishment
The circular economy aims to extend the lifecycle of products by promoting refurbishment, repair, and remanufacturing. Entrepreneurs can tap into the rising demand for refurbished products by offering repair services, parts replacements, or remanufacturing products that would otherwise be disposed of.
Businesses centred on product lifecycle extensions, such as electronics repair or furniture refurbishing, cater to consumers seeking affordable yet high-quality products with a lower environmental footprint. By repairing and restoring products to their original condition, these businesses reduce waste and support the circular economy while creating value for customers. This market opportunity allows entrepreneurs to develop a loyal customer base eager to support businesses that help them save money and make more sustainable choices.
Sharing Economy and Product-as-a-Service Models
A shift from ownership to access is another significant change driven by the circular economy, with sharing and Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) models gaining popularity. Rather than owning a product outright, consumers pay for access to goods or services on a subscription or rental basis. This model promotes resource efficiency by enabling multiple users to benefit from a single product, reducing the need for continuous production of new items.
Market opportunities for entrepreneurs within the sharing economy include businesses that rent out products like clothing, cars, tools, or even electronics. By capitalising on consumers' growing interest in sharing rather than owning, entrepreneurs can create profitable business models that align with circular economy principles. Additionally, PaaS models, where companies retain ownership of products and manage their lifecycle, allow businesses to offer customers the latest products without generating waste.
Sustainable Packaging Solutions
Packaging waste remains a major environmental issue, making sustainable packaging an area of high demand. Entrepreneurs can seize market opportunities by developing eco-friendly packaging alternatives, such as biodegradable materials, reusable containers, or even edible packaging.
Businesses focused on sustainable packaging are not only addressing consumer preferences for eco-friendly options but also responding to stricter regulations aimed at reducing single-use plastics. With brands increasingly under pressure to demonstrate sustainability, sustainable packaging solutions are likely to see continued demand, providing a valuable niche for eco-conscious entrepreneurs.
Circular Supply Chains and Sustainable Materials
Circular supply chains prioritise sustainability by sourcing renewable or recycled materials, minimising waste, and promoting transparency at every stage. Entrepreneurs can establish businesses that focus on sourcing and distributing sustainable materials, such as recycled textiles, biodegradable plastics, or organic materials for various industries.
By facilitating circular supply chains, entrepreneurs help other businesses meet their sustainability goals, offering sustainable materials and solutions to companies looking to reduce their environmental impact. This model not only provides an opportunity to generate revenue but also enables entrepreneurs to play a critical role in reshaping industries towards a more sustainable future.

Benefits of Entering the Circular Economy for Entrepreneurs
Breaking into the circular economy offers more than just financial rewards. For entrepreneurs, it provides a unique chance to innovate while addressing pressing environmental and social challenges. Here are some key benefits:
Differentiation in the Market: Consumers today are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their purchasing choices. Businesses that prioritise sustainability often stand out, attracting customers who value environmental responsibility and ethical practices.
Enhanced Brand Loyalty: Sustainable businesses have the potential to build strong relationships with customers who appreciate their efforts to promote a cleaner, greener world. Such loyalty can result in higher retention rates and positive word-of-mouth, which is valuable for long-term growth.
Access to New Funding Opportunities: Investors are increasingly interested in funding sustainable and impact-driven businesses. By embracing the circular economy, entrepreneurs may unlock access to various funding options from sustainability-focused investors and grants aimed at promoting green innovations.
Compliance with Emerging Regulations: Governments around the world are introducing regulations to curb waste and promote recycling, which is encouraging companies to adopt sustainable practices. By aligning with circular economy principles, businesses are more likely to meet current and future regulatory requirements, which can prevent potential fines and penalties.
Practical Steps for Entrepreneurs to Get Started
For entrepreneurs interested in entering the circular economy, starting small and gradually expanding circular practices is often the best approach. Here are some steps to consider:
Research and Identify Opportunities: Begin by researching industries with potential for circular practices, such as fashion, technology, or consumer goods. Identifying specific market opportunities within these industries allows you to align your business model with consumer needs.
Focus on Design and Materials: Consider the sustainability of your products' design and materials. Products that are durable, repairable, or recyclable offer greater value in the circular economy.
Explore Partnerships: Collaborate with other businesses, suppliers, or service providers that prioritise sustainability. Partnerships can help offset initial costs and enable access to shared resources and expertise.
Educate Consumers: Raising awareness about circular practices can encourage customers to support your business. Use marketing strategies that highlight the environmental benefits of choosing circular products or services.
The circular economy is paving the way for a future where businesses thrive sustainably by reducing waste, reusing resources, and reimagining consumption. For entrepreneurs, the circular economy provides a vast landscape of market opportunities to innovate and meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions. By exploring options like resource recovery, product lifecycle extension, sharing models, sustainable packaging, and circular supply chains, entrepreneurs can create businesses that not only benefit financially but also contribute meaningfully to environmental and social well-being.

Top Strategies to Boost Product Experience with Real Examples
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f74d74f11743f3118bd7c8bd39ee9858/9cb390f81690e62e-60/s540x810/c548097a92a1fb00fc2cea2c9a73f8b75c0ee80b.jpg)
In a competitive market, the quality of product experience can make or break your success. It’s not just about the product itself but how customers interact with it, their satisfaction levels, and the emotional connection they feel. Understanding and enhancing the product experience has become paramount for businesses aiming for longevity and customer loyalty. By focusing on this critical aspect, companies can differentiate themselves and add value that goes beyond the product’s basic functionality.
This article will guide you through key strategies to boost product experience, from understanding what it entails to monitoring and analyzing how customers interact with your product. We will explore actionable strategies to improve product experience, offer tips for enhancing product design, and share real-world examples of successful product experience improvements. Additionally, you will learn best practices to continuously refine and elevate the product experience, ensuring your offerings remain compelling and competitive in the ever-evolving marketplace.
Understanding Product Experience
Product experience (PX), often likened to user experience, is essentially the journey customers embark upon while interacting with a product from start to finish. In the realm of software, particularly SaaS (Software as a Service), this experience encompasses everything from onboarding to daily usage and feature discovery, all the way to renewal or exit points. The shift towards SaaS models means that a significant portion of customer engagement now occurs within the product itself, making PX a critical focus area for product managers aiming to boost revenue and minimize churn.
The distinction between PX and user experience (UX) is subtle yet significant. While UX focuses on the user’s interactions with specific product features, ensuring ease of use and effectiveness, PX takes a broader view. It examines the entire spectrum of interactions a user has within the product environment, influencing their overall satisfaction and loyalty. This broader perspective is crucial because, in many SaaS products, the entire customer lifecycle — from trial to purchase to renewal — unfolds within the digital confines of the application.
Creating an intuitive and personalized product experience is becoming increasingly important. Today’s users expect not just functionality but a seamless and engaging journey that anticipates their needs and preferences. This expectation is heightened by the prevalent subscription models, which allow users the flexibility to switch providers if dissatisfied, emphasizing the need for ongoing value delivery beyond the initial sale.
Key Components of Product Experience
Onboarding and Education: Effective onboarding processes that educate users about the product’s features and functionalities are essential. This not only helps in quick adoption but also in realizing the value of the product sooner, which is crucial for retention.
Continuous Engagement: Keeping users engaged through updates, feature enhancements, and proactive support can significantly enhance PX. It’s important that these enhancements are communicated effectively and added seamlessly to improve the overall product utility without disrupting the user experience.
Personalization: Tailoring the product experience to meet individual user needs can dramatically improve satisfaction and loyalty. This involves leveraging user data to provide relevant content, recommendations, and support, enhancing the user’s journey through the product.
Feedback and Adaptation: Regular collection of user feedback and adapting the product based on this input is vital. This not only helps in refining the product experience but also makes users feel valued, fostering a positive emotional connection with the product.
Analytics and User Behavior: Utilizing analytics to understand how users interact with the product allows teams to identify patterns and pinpoint areas for improvement. This data-driven approach helps in making informed decisions that enhance the product experience.
By focusing on these areas, organizations can ensure that their product not only meets but exceeds user expectations, thereby fostering loyalty and driving business success. In today’s digital age, where user expectations are continuously evolving, delivering an exceptional product experience is not just beneficial but essential for sustaining competitive advantage.
How to Monitor and Analyze Product Experience
To effectively monitor and analyze product experience, it is essential to implement a comprehensive approach that includes tracking user engagement metrics, setting up event tracking, monitoring user paths, and collecting qualitative insights. Each of these components plays a crucial role in understanding how users interact with your product and identifying areas for improvement.
Tracking User Engagement Metrics
User engagement metrics provide invaluable information about how users interact with your product. Key metrics to consider include:
Active Users: Track the number of users actively engaging with your product within a specific timeframe.
Churn Rate: Monitor how many users stop using the product, as this can indicate dissatisfaction or unmet needs.
Retention Rate: Measure the percentage of users who continue to use the product over time, which reflects user satisfaction and product value.
By analyzing these metrics, you can gain a basic understanding of your product’s health and user engagement levels.
Setting Up Event Tracking
Event tracking is vital for gathering deep insights into user interactions within your application or website. Here’s how to implement event tracking effectively:
Collaborate with developers to integrate tracking codes or SDKs into your product.
Ensure that the tracking implementation has minimal impact on product performance.
Conduct testing to verify the accuracy of the event tracking setup.
Events to track might include clicks, form submissions, feature usage, and page views. This data helps in identifying user behavior patterns and improving product features.
Monitoring User Paths
Understanding the paths users take within your application can reveal a lot about the user experience. Key aspects to focus on include:
Mapping User Pathways: Trace the steps users take from initial interaction to final outcomes, such as making a purchase.
Identifying Friction Points: Detect areas where users experience difficulties, which might cause them to abandon the product.
Emotional Mapping: Overlay user feedback and emotional states onto the journey map to better understand their experiences at various stages.
This analysis helps in optimizing the user journey and enhancing the overall product experience.
