0:03one of the unique differentiators and 0:06one of the unique ways in which we're 0:07approaching the whole cloud message the 0:09whole mobile message is really around 0:12you know the whole IOT message the role 0:14analytics message is really around this 0:16notion of digital transformation it's 0:18the business reason behind the 0:21challenges that are being put in front 0:23of our clients and those particular 0:26challenges are in essence basically 0:29creating the environment around which we 0:33are building out our standards building 0:36out our cloud platform on those 0:38standards delivering it to then enable 0:41them to incorporate whatever 0:43capabilities they actually need in order 0:47to be able to re-architect and rebuild 0:50their supply chains and value chains 0:53into a coherent set of applications 0:57around this notion of digital 0:59transformation what is digital 1:02transformation it means that basically 1:04all of the individual data streams that 1:07are coming in through the internet 1:08whether it's through mobile whether it's 1:10through Internet of Things each and 1:12every single one of those opportunities 1:15presented to our clients then force 1:19those particular opportunities to then 1:22be manifested through digital outreach 1:25okay so whether or not I'm trying to 1:28create a new customer relationship 1:30whether or not I'm trying to incorporate 1:32better information about asset 1:34management so I can run my planes more 1:36effectively or you know essentially 1:39build a more engaging experience around 1:42my automotive you know the automobiles 1:44that I manufacture and deliver in one 1:47form or another that creates you know a 1:50tremendous amount of pressure on our 1:55clients to then create that kind of 1:57digital experience 2:00our hybrid strategy is fundamentally 2:04based on re-architecting and reorienting 2:09digital supply chains and digital value 2:11chains in an open environment that 2:16leverages cloud as a delivery mechanism 2:19it's not an end in and of itself and 2:22that's something that I think we 2:25uniquely bring to the market we allow 2:29people more entry points into that kind 2:33of transformation than anybody else on 2:36the platform and anybody else on the 2:39planet so basically we give people 2:44tremendous degrees of freedom and 2:47flexibility and actually moving 2:50applications into a digital world more 2:54so than any of our competitors the thing 2:58that's most important for us to 2:59understand in being successful in cloud 3:03is that clients want to consume our 3:07capabilities in a completely different 3:09way and that pushing the old style of 3:14computing is not going to work it's not 3:17in line with their needs and wants and 3:20they're just going to push back and 3:22essentially not allow us to succeed in 3:28the old consuming models probably the 3:32most important thing that we can do is 3:34to get an understanding as to how we 3:36bring together all of our capabilities 3:38so that they can consume it in a digital 3:41and consumable way the most important 3:46aspect of that transformation has to 3:48manifest itself with developers 3:51developers are key if we can not you 3:55know reach out to them and build them a 3:58platform that allows them to put 4:01together those particular capabilities 4:02in a coherent way across the board we 4:06will not succeed in the transformation 4:09that we 4:10make across all of our capabilities to 4:13then deliver through cloud in essence 4:18basically our differentiation is in that 4:20flexibility is in providing a coherent 4:23view of an open environment and in 4:26putting that open environment together 4:27and in delivering it in as many 4:31different ways as our clients want to 4:34consume it in order to be able to 4:35execute that digital transformation
