In this age of competition each and every technology is moving very fast. Every day there are something which is innovative and ready to replace other technology. Due to this replacement environment there are emergence of new technologies and legacy systems. The need of modernisation in technologies increases because they have more scalability solutions, storage solutions, improved performance, reduces vulnerabilities and reducing cost of maintenance. So, the organisations are rapidly using latest software solutions. Although these systems must be updated continuously to improve evolving business practices and the rapid evolution of technology quickly renders existing technologies obsolete. Also today’s competitive environment  makes huge promotions on latest trends like SAP, SAS, Microsoft Dynamics, Cloud computing, Android, etc. which underestimates and decreases importance of other software systems or legacy systems, such as mainframe, celerra, AS/400, PowerBuilder, Fortran, COBOL, CICS, JCL, DB2, Synon etc.

But in the presence of latest trends, the conventional strong storage solutions are still there.  There are many companies who are working on legacy storage systems which are not easy to replace. Some of the reasons that organizations are still keeping with legacy system, such as:

• There businesses are already setup and they are satisfied with these technologies.

• The cost for installing new software and hardware (if needed) is high for their affordable budget.

• Sometimes time is a constraint that is time required for installing new software is not acceptable for the organisation.

• Integration with newer systems may also be difficult for the organisation.

• Others, company has to either hire new trained professionals or need to train existing employees.

Pre-Launch Buzz- Bring thoughts together

Most of companies do not understand how a pre-launch buzz can be utilized for marketing. Suppose you are going to meet a person who is unknown to you then you behave with him casually, but if you know that the other person is CEO of xyz company then you behaviour will change. Why we behave differently? Because the name CEO itself reflects Goodwill and throws a power he holds within. This goodwill is a part of Buzz.

Pre-launch buzz helps start-ups as well as establish companies to build the base. Because it will gradually create goodwill of your products and services and then it is easy to sell them into the market. Sometimes people in the corporate ignore it and start selling their product and services directly into the market. This results in ending up with failure or very slow market response. Let me tell you why, because a product and service has many phase to be successful. Feasibility and development is not only the phase which has to be completed successfully.

A buzz about the product is very important to place an awareness of the product and services in the market. By which, the people get an idea and excitement about the product and services.

Volkswagen Beetle and Nissan Micra these two cars were launched into the market at same time. These cars belong to same class. Nissan Micra is much cheaper and fuel efficient car then Volkswagen Beetle. But Volkswagen Beetle’s pre-launch buzz and marketing was far superior then Nissan Micra. Thus, in the competition Volkswagen won the battle.

Now a days trend to promote movies is that they just show the concept and don’t disclose the name…a good prelaunch buzz strategy. Again the most important factor is how strategically you expose the value by hiding the details.
