(I-SoftwareNews.Com, October 24, 2013 ) LAS VEGAS, NV, and SAN DIEGO, CA -- Technology Services World 2013 Service Transformations concluded yesterday in Las Vegas, having drawn record-breaking attendance from leading players in the technology services industry. The event, hosted by the Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA), focused on the industry’s hottest topics, including business transformation, consumption analytics, big data, cloud computing, and the just-released book, "B4B."
Highlights included:
• "B4B: How Technology and Big Data Are Reinventing the Customer-Supplier Relationship." Released at TSW 2013 Las Vegas, "B4B" is based on TSIA’s work with over 300 leading suppliers that are working together on a single challenge: business model transformation. The book’s authors, J.B. Wood, Todd Hewlin, and Thomas Lah, were on hand to illustrate the concepts of the book in supporting keynote presentations, providing direction for service organizations in transitioning their value proposition from being product-focused to customer outcome-focused.
• Largest Keynote Line-Up in Conference History. Other high-profile keynote speakers included Charles Phillips, CEO of Infor, who spoke on “Innovating Technology Services”; Anand Eswaran, executive vice president for SAP Global Services and former Chief Scientist for Amazon, who delivered “SAP's Transformation to Outcome-Based Service Offerings”; Rackspace chairman and co-founder Graham Weston, who provided “Focusing on Great Service Fuels Innovation”; Dr. Andreas Weigend, director of the Social Data Lab and a teacher at Stanford, Berkeley, and Fudan, who delivered a “The New Data Refineries: Transforming Big Data into Decisions”; and Nick Earle, senior vice president of Cisco Worldwide Services Field Operations, who shared “The Future of Service Sales.”
• TSIA Awards Ceremony. Conference attendees convened for one of the biggest highlights of the show—the TSIA Awards Ceremony and Luncheon, held at the conclusion of the conference. The technology services industry’s highest honors were delivered to deserving winners via the prestigious STAR Awards, Support Staff Excellence Awards, and the TechBEST Awards. Companies who have successfully achieved certification in the TSIA Operational Best Practices program were also recognized.
• TSIA Research Revealed. Nine concurrent “Power Hour” sessions, presented by senior TSIA staff, revealed the latest findings in the areas of education services, field services, managed services, professional services, service revenue generation, support services, consumption analytics, and service technology.
• TSW|EXPO. More than 50 TSIA partners were available in the TSW|EXPO allowing attendees to learn about the latest in service technology and solutions.
