XGS AND THE DIGITAL FUTURE
Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave is the title of an article presented in 1995 and written by Clayton M. Christensen, Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, you can read it here.
This article defines what we understand today as disruptive technology, which leads to the appearance of products and services that use a disruptive strategy against a sustainable strategy, to compete against a dominant technology and look for a progressive consolidation in a market. Although initially an economic term, it is now beginning to have a lot of importance at the time of proposing strategies for development in the departments of I + D for many companies.
Why do we talk about this? Very simple: Digital files are, without a doubt, a disruptive technology, they are changing the world, our way of thinking, doing and working. These are the waves of change generated by digital technology:
All the time we need more and more storage sources, and more and more cloud services and more and more storage capacity, and as we saw last week, more and more privacy.
To give an idea of the potential for this sector, look at this data from 2016:
As we have seen, there are many alternatives to uploading digital files to the cloud.
There may also be some companies, at astronomical prices, that offer some serious levels of privacy and security for those files.
But today I know of no company that allows you to store files safely and privately and at the same time, be able to sell them to third parties. NONE, NOBODY does it in the same conditions or better than XGS.
THE SALE OF FILES TO THIRD PARTIES
Digitization is changing us day by day, all the time we need more space, hard disks of less than 1TB are almost garbage. We want to save the 700 photographs we made last holiday, the movies that we love, the music we like, the maps for the cars GPS …. Soon EVERYTHING will go through digital support, everything.
And then there are the people who start converting this digitization of our lives into their livelihood. Their job is to be very good in a certain field, so they can sell that information to third parties, who are willing to pay for it.
The number of files that can be commercialized within the XGS platform is immense. Some of the products that we could sell on the platform are:
• Digital books
• Photographs
• Online courses
• Tutorials
• Music
• Reports
• Manuals
• Webinars
• Online communities
• Accessories
• Podcasts
• Templates
• Applications
Can you imagine selling the recipe for cooking that dish your grandmother did so well, or a course on how to use Photoshop? You can do all that automatically and anonymously, you just need to upload the file and put it up for sale. That is the strength of the platform, that is its use case and why it is being created and developed.
Let’s take just one example, education. Do you have any idea of the potential for this subsector alone? The incredible opportunities that open up in e-learning when you can sell digital content to third parties, anywhere in the world, in real time and without having to do anything but create the file with the classes?
Can you imagine the potential for emerging markets in terms of the Internet? Like India, China or Africa?
CONCLUSIONS:
The potential of XGS as a platform to sell digital files to third parties is massive, without question.
It offers clear advantages over other global platforms, such as privacy, security and the automation of sales processes.
The market it addresses is huge.
Its potential for growth is truly on a global scale.
