CASHLESS
New economy is becoming a
reality
In more mature economies, technological advances and
consumers’ desire for convenience are driving innovations
in cashless transactions. On the other hand, in developing
countries, where mobile penetration is high yet banking
infrastructure is poor, consumers rely heavily on CASHLESS
innovations for everyday transactions.
KEY FACTORS
The CASH-LESS economy is (almost) upon us. But with the
many competing technologies available (e.g. QR codes,
NFC, WavePay, etc.), there’s still quite a few ways to go
before cashless transactions become the norm. Think about
how you can use CASH-LESS technologies to offer
consumers insights into their habits, rewards for loyalty,
and/or even tailored offers and recommendations.
JIFI SAVER
Savings Account Managed via Twitter

transactions. A minimum balance of INR. 10,000 (USD 162) is
required to open the account, which also offers interest rates of
up to 6%, a debit card, and a loyalty program.

PROFESSIONAL OPINION
“Eight years later, we are making
mobile payments like Kenya”
Since the appearance of mobile devices we have been waiting for the phone to become our wallet. We sat -
waiting and waiting- until Apple came and people activated more than 1 million of credit cards in less than 72
hours of Apple Pay existence. This system had more users in a week than all of its competitors had in the past
3 years… One of the drivers is trust and perception.
At the beginning people were reluctant to mobile payments, and afraid of losing their phones or someone
stealing their information. Though the technology was available, users were not adopting it. But it was known
that users who trust on their financial organizations and mobile application service provider have significant
intention to use mobile payment. Apple gave us this trust and ease of use, with amazing reliable products that
made other players run behind.
I think that this trend is a reality and every industry and company should implement mobile payments to avoid
running behind their competitors.
Fun fact: Kenya has been doing mobile money transfers since 2007 with M Pesa, and it is now used by over
17m Kenyans, equivalent to more than two-thirds of the adult population; around 25% of the country’s gross
national product flowing through it. This is more than USD 13B...

In October 2014, Israel-based La’Zooz launched a beta version of
its decentralized ride-sharing platform, matching empty seats with
those in need of transport in real-time. Unlike Uber or Lyft, La’Zooz

“Imagine what will happen next”
Our Smartphone evolved from being a personal assistant to becoming our game console, tourist guide,
entertainment center, search tool and intelligent assistant. The computing power we carry in our pocket is huge
and the ability to interact with objects and places through various technologies simplifies the use and generates
more power. Sensors available today in most of the modern smartphones can recognize images, process
beacons signals, interact with technology like RFID proximity and evaluate our location at all times to provide
personalized information adapted to our environment and simple experiences that give us access to
information we need proactively without having to type search words.
The next step is to simplify the user interface and provide intelligently what you might find according to the
environment and the markers that we define to interact.
Imagine being in the supermarket and using the phone camera to identify products and bring information and
suggestions from my social network, obtain promotions according to the proximity of products and have the
shopping list updated within the Smartphone. Imagine that when you reach the cashier, the phone activates the
wallet and makes payment using your fingerprint as validation and when you leave the supermarket, your phone
gives you directions to the parking spot where you left your car. A simple task simplified even more without
using the keyboard.

POINT & KNOW
TAKE ACTION
What can you instantly bring
consumers that is useful,
relevant or just interesting and
fun?
Forget information overload: consumers’ desire for relevant,
useful, timely information is insatiable. Consumers will
continue to lap up products, tools and services that bring
them the right information, at the right time, in an
understandable, intuitive and actionable way.
KEY FACTORS
The prevalence of mobile connectivity and the explosion of
sites, tools, apps and devices mean that consumers can
satisfy their INFOLUST cravings almost instantly. In fact,
consumers now expect to access information anytime,
anywhere and in real-time. But the amount of information
out there is vast (and growing every second). From reviews
to Wikipedia to tweets to the tiny digital breadcrumbs
consumers leave that show what they are doing, modern life
gives off an insane amount of data about everything and
anything. The challenge is helping consumers make sense
of it, in a way that makes their life better.
HEALTHLOOP
App helps doctors and patients keep in
touch in real-time
Healthcare platform provider Healthloop launched the
Healthloop+ MD mobile app in January 2015 to keep doctors
better updated about the status of their patients and improve
communication between both parties. The US-created app
delivers push notifications to physicians when one of their
patients triggers a clinical alert or receives a triage handoff from
a co-worker. The app, which costs USD 199 per month per
physician, also offers virtual check-ins to reinforce guidance and
promote self-care activities to help with recovery.

“Today, we are all managers”
In our connected daily lives and even with what is coming next in wearables, IoT and an even more
digital experience, we are and will be swimming in big lakes of data. Finding what we are looking for
has been always a challenge. Today, with the existing scalable technologies in Big Data, this is not
an issue if you invest accordingly. Once that Information hunger has been satisfied, we only want
more and more quickly. That’s just human nature.
The challenge is now having that precious piece of data at the right time, in near real time. The word
now can have different meaning for different people, but what we have in common more and more is
that we don't have time to spend searching for what we want or need. We are all managers in our
own lives, with little time to stop, sit down and read for hours to extract that gem of info we need.
We are always on the move. Less is more, always.
The other day, I was planning on a month-long trip with my husband. We were looking for hotels in
cities we had never visited. With the modern tools we have today, we did the research on the phone
with rated hotels in only a few minutes. We were surprised. How would this experience have been 15
years ago? How will it be in 5 years?
Mobile, effectively indexed search engines and near real time analytic technologies facilitate our
modern needs. So what will the next crawl on velocity, format and space be in the days to come?

“Crowd Express makes marketing
strategies even more innovative,
precise and exciting”
In a customer-centric world, transforming data into knowledge probably is the most important competitive
advantage. This is why so many companies set analytics as their top priority for 2015, in order to improve their
response and time to market stimuli and to reduce risks on strategic decisions.
As social platforms rose over the last few years, so did the amount of information generated by users, which
can be illustrated by the 500 Terabytes of user data collected daily by Facebook.
If in the past the challenge was to drive traffic to the website and make users purchase one of your products,
today companies face a more complex problem: they have to centralize and cross user information from market
reports, offline data, digital analytics, purchase history and other sources that bring far more benefits than our
old pal ROI.
As the game gets more complicated, it might seem you have a huge problem, but it is a nice issue to face. Since
the outcome of investing on analytics includes comprehensive understanding of customer behavior and
business insights, migrating to a crowd-express model turns your client into an active player on your strategy,
as he hands his data in exchange of a better experience, in which you can predict what he wants.

  • 8. CASHLESS New economy is becoming a reality In more mature economies, technological advances and consumers’ desire for convenience are driving innovations in cashless transactions. On the other hand, in developing countries, where mobile penetration is high yet banking infrastructure is poor, consumers rely heavily on CASHLESS innovations for everyday transactions. KEY FACTORS The CASH-LESS economy is (almost) upon us. But with the many competing technologies available (e.g. QR codes, NFC, WavePay, etc.), there’s still quite a few ways to go before cashless transactions become the norm. Think about how you can use CASH-LESS technologies to offer consumers insights into their habits, rewards for loyalty, and/or even tailored offers and recommendations. JIFI SAVER Savings Account Managed via Twitter and Facebook January 2015 saw Indian bank Kotak launch the Jifi Saver: a savings account that can be managed via Twitter and Facebook. Customers can to sign up through Facebook, and manage their account using “Hashtag Banking”, where a user can tweet #JifiBal to receive a private message with their current balance or #JifiTxn to receive a private message with their last three transactions. A minimum balance of INR. 10,000 (USD 162) is required to open the account, which also offers interest rates of up to 6%, a debit card, and a loyalty program.

  • 11. TREND: CASH-LESS SANTIAGO PIACENZA Technical Director of the Mobile Studio at Globant PROFESSIONAL OPINION “Eight years later, we are making mobile payments like Kenya” Since the appearance of mobile devices we have been waiting for the phone to become our wallet. We sat - waiting and waiting- until Apple came and people activated more than 1 million of credit cards in less than 72 hours of Apple Pay existence. This system had more users in a week than all of its competitors had in the past 3 years… One of the drivers is trust and perception. At the beginning people were reluctant to mobile payments, and afraid of losing their phones or someone stealing their information. Though the technology was available, users were not adopting it. But it was known that users who trust on their financial organizations and mobile application service provider have significant intention to use mobile payment.

TREND: POINT & KNOW PABLO VITTORI VP of Technology and Partner of the Mobile and Wearable Studio at Globant “Imagine what will happen next” Our Smartphone evolved from being a personal assistant to becoming our game console, tourist guide, entertainment center, search tool and intelligent assistant. The computing power we carry in our pocket is huge and the ability to interact with objects and places through various technologies simplifies the use and generates more power. Sensors available today in most of the modern smartphones can recognize images, process beacons signals, interact with technology like RFID proximity and evaluate our location at all times to provide personalized information adapted to our environment and simple experiences that give us access to information we need proactively without having to type search words. The next step is to simplify the user interface and provide intelligently what you might find according to the environment and the markers that we define to interact. Imagine being in the supermarket and using the phone camera to identify products and bring information and suggestions from my social network, obtain promotions according to the proximity of products and have the shopping list updated within the Smartphone. Imagine that when you reach the cashier, the phone activates the wallet and makes payment using your fingerprint as validation and when you leave the supermarket, your phone gives you directions to the parking spot where you left your car. A simple task simplified even more without using the keyboard. PROFESSIONAL OPINION

Finding what we are looking for has been always a challenge. Today, with the existing scalable technologies in Big Data, this is not an issue if you invest accordingly. Once that Information hunger has been satisfied, we only want more and more quickly. That’s just human nature. The challenge is now having that precious piece of data at the right time, in near real time. The word now can have different meaning for different people, but what we have in common more and more is that we don't have time to spend searching for what we want or need. We are all managers in our own lives, with little time to stop, sit down and read for hours to extract that gem of info we need. We are always on the move. Less is more, always. The other day, I was planning on a month-long trip with my husband. We were looking for hotels in cities we had never visited. With the modern tools we have today, we did the research on the phone with rated hotels in only a few minutes. We were surprised. How would this experience have been 15 years ago? How will it be in 5 years? Mobile, effectively indexed search engines and near real time analytic technologies facilitate our modern needs.

  • 26. TREND: CROWD EXPRESS ANDRE MARTIN LORENZ FILHO Digital Marketing Specialist of the Digital Content Studio at Globant. “Crowd Express makes marketing strategies even more innovative, precise and exciting” In a customer-centric world, transforming data into knowledge probably is the most important competitive advantage. This is why so many companies set analytics as their top priority for 2015, in order to improve their response and time to market stimuli and to reduce risks on strategic decisions. As social platforms rose over the last few years, so did the amount of information generated by users, which can be illustrated by the 500 Terabytes of user data collected daily by Facebook. If in the past the challenge was to drive traffic to the website and make users purchase one of your products, today companies face a more complex problem: they have to centralize and cross user information from market reports, offline data, digital analytics, purchase history and other sources that bring far more benefits than our old pal ROI. As the game gets more complicated, it might seem you have a huge problem, but it is a nice issue to face. Since the outcome of investing on analytics includes comprehensive understanding of customer behavior and business insights, migrating to a crowd-express model turns your client into an active player on your strategy, as he hands his data in exchange of a better experience, in which you can predict what he wants.
