Breeding Customer Loyalty Through the Omnichannel Experience
On the consumer end, the average purchase—of a suitcase, a desk lamp, or an electric toothbrush—can feel relatively simple. But as any marketer knows, the path from noticing a product to actually buying it can, in fact, be enormously complex, facilitated on the backend by multiple teams working day in and day out on such complicated matters as UX design, behavioral analytics, and targeted ad copy. The better integrated these components are across platforms—i.e., the more seamless the experience is for the consumer—the higher the likelihood of a sale.
Unconscious Bias in AI: How to Avoid it and Navigate Regulation
The human brain processes an inordinate amount of information every day. Scientists have tried to quantify it, with some saying it is 100,000 words and others suggesting it is 34GB of data.

And as an evolved species, humans have found ways to quickly process much of that information without it even registering they are doing it.

How embracing neurodiversity in the workplace can help companies; insights from expert
Embracing neurodiversity in the workplace is not just a social obligation but also a business benefit. Organizations may achieve creativity, productivity enhancement, and the promotion of an inclusive and welcoming culture by acknowledging and using the unique abilities of neurodiverse people.

The true benefits of composable IT architecture
The notion of composable architecture as a way to generate greater business agility and scalability is nothing new in the tech world. Composable architecture breaks down traditional silos for application deployment and management.

Usability testing without a UX specialist
The end goal for any company is to meet the needs of its users. Companies that use software to solve problems/meet user needs are no exception. It is understandable that amidst the daily turmoil of producing and fixing, creating and deploying, it can be easy to lose sight of the primary objective: helping users.
The appeal of hybrid cloud deployments is undeniable. They offer the agility and scalability of the public cloud plus the control and security of on-premises infrastructure for any systems or data needing more protection. However, using a hybrid model introduces additional challenges for IT teams. Visibility limitations often plague hybrid deployments. This means IT teams need extra help to identify security threats, deliver robust operations and maintain optimal performance levels.

The world has come a long way since the first International Women’s Day rally 113 years ago, but there is still a notable distance to go before gender equality is achieved.
