Today's Story Highlights

Aligning IoT, the Cloud and Digital Transformation Initiatives
The 18th annual PwC CEO survey of 1,322 corporate leaders in 77
countries, conducted between September and December 2014, found an
overwhelming proportion are embarking on digital transformation
initiatives to respond to escalating customer demands and intensifying
competitive pressures. However, many are taking different paths to
achieve their corporate objectives.

Spotify Ain't Afraid of No Apple
Spotify has raised $526 million in its latest round of funding,
according to reports that surfaced Wednesday. That's more than half the
$1 billion Spotify raised in funding over the past nine years, said
Susan Schreiner, analyst at C4 trends. Given that Apple just announced
its new music-streaming service, why would companies pump all this money
into Spotify?

Nutanix Ratchets Up Competition With VMware
Nutanix on Wednesday announced its Xtreme Computing Platform,
challenging VMware's virtual machine software dominance. Nutanix's XCP
comes about one year after VMware introduced its own hyperconverged
storage software, which offered customers an alternative to Nutanix's
offering at the time. Nutanix has a 52 percent market share in the
hyperconverged infrastructure market.
