Houses, Cars, Diamonds, Data: Cover Your Assets
~ book review by Marty Shaw, Global-Z Director of Sales & Marketing
Merriam-Webster defines "asset" simply as "an item of value owned". We have no debate applying this definition to one's house, their vehicle, fine jewelry and the like. Even in business we account for and protect our capital equipment as business assets. Data on the other hand, this is only beginning to gain ground in businesses and other organization as a valuable asset; one which should be treated with care to help realize the full value of this key business resource.
"The Data Asset: How Smart Companies Govern Their Data for Business Success" by Tony Fisher, is an outstanding book that provides real world examples that help any organization better understand and benefit from data as a corporate asset.

|
~ by Paul Harris, Global-Z Marketing & Sales Assistant
Internet videos are everywhere. You can't visit many sites that don't include at least one video link. Online videos are easy and cheap to make. Video content adds a splash of flavor in any webpage. If you're a marketer that's not using (or at least considering using) video content in your strategy you might as well go back to the Stone Age with Fred Flintstone.
