Extract from an article by Grant Gumina
Today, there are more vendors and solutions than ever for IT infrastructure buyers to choose from. Despite the confusion this causes, decision makers are certain of two things:
- In the next five years, their infrastructure will resemble a hybrid cloud.
- They need to start building tools, processes and entire businesses powered by AI and machine learning before a digital-native competitor disrupts them.
Until recently, enterprise-ready file storage in the cloud simply didn’t exist, so customers have been held on-prem hostages with their legacy file storage vendors lacking the business models and technological know-how to build cloud file storage. (The good news is that a new generation of file storage is becoming available that embraces the best features of object storage while continuing to provide the speed and versatility of file.) But as things generally stand, current realities have resulted in legacy vendors tricking the market to think AI/ML is only about ultra-high performance model training use cases, where massive amounts of data need to be processed via a converged solution consisting of computing, storage and GPUs in a single product.

A (Brand) New Approach? Considering the Framework and Structure of eDiscovery Offerings
Today’s eDiscovery providers may benefit from the lessons learned in the creation of the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album by creating a concept for branding and packaging their offerings within that brand in a connected, theme-based way that represents the offerings’ promise and capability in a way that is easy to understand and remember.
This fictionalized branding approach was developed from the intellectual exercise of trying to figure out a reasonable and memorable way to descriptively highlight the promise and capabilities of offerings typically delivered by full-service eDiscovery providers. It may not be completely comprehensive or fully normalized. However, the hope of sharing this branding example is that it might help those involved in the branding and communication of eDiscovery provider services and solutions.
