It’s a business imperative, but
no easy task. Start by asking
yourself, “What does success
look like?”
• Cost savings?
• Headcount-to-productivity
ratio?
• Speed of development?
• Deeper customer insights?
• Higher NPS?
• Better end-user experience?
Once you have a direction, let’s
plot a course. For starters, we
understand that flexibility and
choice of technology is critical
for allowing you to tailor your
cloud approach to exactly what
your business needs. Additionally,
you’ll want to pair the speed
and agility of public cloud with
the performance and security of
private cloud without relying on
specialized tooling or dealing with
vendor lock-in.

To cloud or not to cloud? This will
no longer be a binary decision.
The better question to ask is,
which cloud for which app?
Your ability to build without
technology restrictions, hyper-
specialized skill requirements, or
costly vendor lock-in starts today.
Enabling hybrid cloud with
Nutanix gives you the flexibility
to pick the right resources for
the right workload and adjust
seamlessly as your business
grows. Considering that 73%*
of surveyed IT professionals
are moving applications away
from public cloud and back on-
prem, the need for application,
workload, and license portability
between environments can’t be
understated. Increasingly, IT teams
will start to cherry pick between
multiple cloud environments and
on-prem resources on a 1-to-1
basis for each application. This
will require a unified management
plane that keeps our applications
and workloads from getting lost
in the clouds.

THE ROLE OF CLOUD
A key weapon for CIOs and organizations looking to be increasingly
innovative is the adoption of cloud computing. I recently told a gathering
of CIO and CTO peers at the London Nutanix .Next event how we as CIOs
have the ability to build different clouds for different workloads, giving us the
opportunity to use the appropriate cloud for the appropriate task.
The research by Nutanix reveals that CIOs across the world and in particular
Europe are adopting hybrid cloud computing solutions. Hybrid cloud
computing has provided increased security, scalability and adaptability and
therefore created opportunities for innovation.
THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES
But there remain challenges to the CIO mandate. In my career we have
been through numerous rounds of debate that the CIO role will be replaced,
that technology is just an organic part of the organization and the need for
specialist technologists questioned. But the Nutanix research shows the
scale of the challenge CIOs and organizations face to ensure technology is
enabling the organization. And speaking as one CIO to another, one of major
challenges is the behavior of cloud technology service providers.
Too many cloud service providers continue the tradition of the on-premise
providers, building proprietary technology. You talk to any major Software-
as-a-Service (SaaS) vendor and they’ll tell their customer relationship
management (CRM) is a platform and the next thing you know you are
consuming elements of technology that are best of breed, but you are also
consuming elements that are not best of breed.
As CIOs we want to consume optimal technology across our portfolio. Sadly
software portability between clouds is near impossible. Moving applications
from one cloud provider to another is a drain on resources, in particular it
drains our teams and our budgets. CIOs cannot afford negative resource
impacts, because all of us have these gargantuan projects, which I call Project
Rome, because Rome wasn’t built in a day. So CIOs and organizations need
partners that provide flexibility and freedom.
The challenge now is for cloud and technology providers to be offering
organizations complete freedom and to be confident in their services.
Because as CIOs we are transforming not just IT, but also the way that
organizations work, so the company is leaner and more efficient and that is
the CIO mandate.
Cloud technology providers are guilty of proprietary
methods that prevent CIOs achieving their mandate,
says Nutanix CIO Wendy Pfeiffer.
Everyone knows more about technology than I do at Nutanix, but as CIO of
Nutanix, my role is to make this organization more productive and that is the
mandate all CIOs must achieve.
The CIO role must be at the helm of organizations as they react and adapt
to the next wave of technologies and changes in customer behavior. The
Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index 2018 survey reveals how CIOs are using
hybrid cloud solutions to ensure organizations are agile and adaptive and I
know from my experience as a Nutanix customer in previous roles and now as
the CIO that this is essential.
What strikes me in the findings of the 2018 Enterprise Cloud Index is how
the CIO is increasingly taking on new customer focused responsibilities.
The Nutanix research demonstrates how CIOs are enabling organizations to
reduce the cost of IT and at the same time create increased agility that will
enable the organization to be more innovative.
Global research by the likes of analyst houses Forrester and Gartner reveals
that boards and CEOs demand increased innovation, and the Nutanix
research shows CIOs are putting in place the technological building blocks
that the organization can utilize to innovate with.
If companies are to thrive we need to operate technologies that transform
our businesses.
“CIOs cannot afford negative resource impacts, because all of us have
these gargantuan projects, which I call Project Rome, because Rome
wasn’t built in a day.”

LANDING PAGES
A landing page is where your customer ‘lands’ after they follow one of your ads or search for your company online. Your landing page should be designed with specific goals in mind, everything about it should work hard to turn each visitor into a customer.
These landing pages formed part of a lead generation campaign for Nutanix Xi Frame. The pages featured our explainer animations, a quick overview of the key features and benefits of the products and a clear call to action. Traffic was generated through a series of nurture emails and social media activity.

The goal isn’t merely to get a customer to purchase your product - you want them to become regular users or to upgrade their use of your service. Many tech products are sold on a subscription basis, making it easy for customers to cancel and switch to a competitor if they’re unhappy or not seeing the full benefits of what you offer.

DYNAMIC WHITEPAPERS
There’s no denying the important role whitepapers play in B2B business development.
They are incredibly influential with 76% of tech buyers using them as part of their decision-making process. But, by their very nature, they can be a daunting read so, where possible, we aim to make them interactive to navigate readers through the document in a more active, engaging and rewarding manner.

RENEW
After a period of successfully using your product, the likelihood is your customer will have to renew to keep using it. Before this happens, it’s
important to maintain close communication with them to ensure you are aware of any possible objections that could cause them not to renew. Keep
them in the loop with any developments, show them success stories and make sure they’re familiar with any benefits of being a loyal, long-term customer.

VERTICAL SPECIFIC CONTENT
Good content gives people what they want, when they want it. Although many technologies run similar products or services across a number of verticals – it’s a far more compelling proposition to package them up into vertical specific bundles to give the reader the assurance that you really are a specialist in their area.
Giving different sectors their own image styles and colour palette is a simple way of differentiating them whilst remaining on brand.

ADVOCATE
A loyal customer is great – a customer that shouts about your product or service from the rooftop and becomes an advocate is even better. Peer to
peer recommendation is an essential part of the buying process so the way you continue to communicate with your clients is essential to encourage this.
However, a very good tip here is to avoid irritations. A lot of companies become complacent when dealing with customers and producing unnecessary or
ill-conceived communications is a sure-fire way to get their backs up.

With a carefully considered event strategy, you can accelerate your sales pipeline and drive increased revenue.
When executed properly, hosting events allows you to interact with groups of already interested consumers and foster even stronger leads and relationships. CXO Focus Masterclass is an exclusive invitation-only class on thought leadership topics.
It has currently been hosted in over 20 cities around the world. When circumstances changed, we helped Nutanix to pivot Masterclass to an online event so attendees can access it from the comfort of their home.
