In the past ' It is raining cats and dogs',
In the present 'It is raining Bits and Bytes'.

Nova's Ark saved the world from the lashing rain,
Data's Arch (Architecture) shapes the world from the DATA rain.

But when I see them both from the clouds, 
I wonder at the visible and the invisible
and conclude that is our World's Future.
                                                                                       - Poem by Inian P K

'It is raining Bits and Bytes' - This is the present day phrase.  The modern world's atmosphere transformed into Datasphere with 2.5 Quintillion Bytes (2,500,000 Terabytes)  of data created and shunted into the clouds every day.   Being flooded with Bits and Bytes of data rain, all twenty-four hours of 365 days of the year, today's world never sleeps.

The technological breakthrough in the speed of the internet has made it possible for the Information Technology sector to make positive changes in human society. It is projected that by the year 2025, 163 Zettabytes of data ( a trillion Gigabytes)will be stored in the cloud. Nearly three-quarters of the world population will soon be covered by data connectivity.  A day is not far off when every human being in this globe will be affected by the synergy of data in the cloud. 

In the latter part of the year 1996, from a small conference room inside the office of Compaq Corporation, Houston (the present day HP) two young executives - Compaq marketing executive George Favaloro and a young techie named Sean O' Sullivan plotted a pattern of internet business, calling it as Cloud Computing.  Research shows that was the first time the name Cloud Computing appeared in the dictionary of internet jargons. Those were the days of the Netscape browser and their discussion concluded that the future will move towards the web and the storage of mountains and mountains of data will be taken over by Big Conglomerates.  The application software will no longer be a part of the hardware but will be on the internet. It is being said that by the year 2020 data cloud deployment shall be by default.

What is Cloud Computing? 

Cloud Computing described as the use of networks of remote servers - usually accessed over the internet, to store, merge and process data.

Top Five conglomerates of the world's cloud computing:

 As mentioned earlier in this blog the big business houses have taken over the rains of the cloud computing data storage. The  Global Public Cloud services market growth in the year 2018 is at 21% and the global cloud data centre IP traffic is 10.6 Zettabytes. This is made possible because of the development made in the Data Architecture.  We can interpret the Data Architecture as a term which refers to all process and methodologies that address data at rest, data in motion, data sets and how these relate to data-dependent process and application.    We present the list of top five conglomerates of the world who is leading in the storage of cloud data:
                              Revenue $

1. Microsoft   -   16.7 Billion

2. Amazon     -   16    Billion

What you need to know about Gross Merchandise Value

By Anonymous
Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is defined as the gross sales revenue generated over a period of time by an e-commerce platform before any deduction for fees or commission . It is used to track the growth rate of an e-commerce business since it measures the value of the total merchandise that has been sold through the site for a specific time period, quarterly, bi-annually, or annually. Gross Merchandise Value = Number of Goods sold x Price of goods sold This metric is useful for e-commerce businesses that buy and store the merchandise from suppliers and delivers to customers when purchases are made. However, it cannot be used as a standalone metric for all online retail platforms. For e-commerce sites that operate as a Customer-to-Customer (C2C) business, they do not physically manage the goods.

Influencer Marketing in E-commerce Strategy

  Influencer marketing is not a new concept in advertising. Before the rise of the internet, celebrities and sportspersons endorsed brands through traditional advertising mediums (TV, news, magazines).

By Anonymous
A National Retail Federation study on Consumer Views in late October 2019 revealed that70% of the survey participants would pay for a Buy-online, pick-up-in-store service (BOPIS). BOPIS has emerged as a convenient option not only for consumers but retailers that invested in brick-and-mortar stores. Growth in online retail sales was overtaking traditional brick-and-mortar retail before the pandemic and BOPIS was being adopted by top retailers. With the onset of the pandemic in 2020, a Digital Commerce 360 survey in late 2020 showed results that 43.7% of the top 500 retailers with physical stores were offering BOPIS — up from 6.9% before the pandemic started. BOPIS, also known as click-and-collect or curbside- pickup provides a safe, contact-free way to shop online and pick up the ordered items. In order to implement BOPIS, a retailer needs to implement the following tools: 1) A website or app where customers can shop and place orders for the products online 2) A brick-and-mortar locatio...
