About Us
Experience: Innovation/Business Transformation
Venturis brings real-world experience in driving innovation and business transformation in both startups and large mature corporations. Some examples of our work are:
Entrepreneur Focus
Venture: Industry’s first multi-access, multi-service platform with integrated Intelligence.
Outcome: This platform transformed the mobile broadband market, led to the company being acquired by Cisco and powered 1.2B of mobile broadband subscribers at it's peak.
Venturis Team Experience: Part of the Product Management team that helped the platform cross the proverbial "chasm" and led the business post-acquisition to scale it to the market leading position.
Transformation Focus
Venture: Deliver Media solutions with a hybrid construct of organic and inorganic assets.
Outcome: Entered a new market and add new capabilities, outside of the parent company DNA.
Venturis Team Experience: Created a stand-alone legal entity to house a combination of parent resources with integration of acquisitions. The newly formed entity had specific objectives – connect proprietary media assets to consumers across a platform. Built a community that extended media control from merchandising to social media and partnerships with ticketing and venues.
Intrapreneur Focus
Transition: SDN/NFV Transition for the Networking Stack.
Outcome: Creation of a unified SDN architecture, common across Data Center and Cloud segments. Alignment across key business and technology leaders across multiple business(es).
Venturis Team Experience: Drove alignment across senior technology teams across the company to agree on a common set of requirements. This enabled a standardized model for segment specific solutions increasing the speed of new product launches.
Innovation Incubation
Innovation: Innovate to navigate a combination of technology (transition to cloud) and business model (migrate to predictable pay as you go models) transitions in the face of disruption from other challengers in the market.
Outcome: ‘Elephants can (actually) dance” paraphrased from the famous book from IBM’s transition. It is certainly not easy to drive differentiated thinking within a large company. Held serve and the market share lead through the transition.
Venturis Team Experience: Led the Product Team through the transition and Delivered on the objectives. Apart from the product itself the entire model was unique in terms of milestones, collaboration, compensation and yes that elusive word we chase – culture!
