Contact centers are evolving, and your technology should, too. In the past, with legacy call centers, customer journeys were relatively simple and linear: Call in, talk to an agent and resolve the problem. But those days are long gone. With the rise of omnichannel communication, today’s customer journey is more complex and the route to a successful customer experience (CX) may crisscross its way through several different channels, touching not only human agents but bots along the way. In today’s tense economic climate, CIOs and CX leaders have a crucial but challenging task: maintain growth while simultaneously cutting expenses and increasing efficiency. Most IT executives would agree that putting money into new technology will help accelerate growth and … [Read more...] about How To Determine Where To Invest Your CX Technology Budget First

Though they get little respect from the industry’s old guard, technologist Martin Roscheisen’s lab-grown diamonds will soon flood the $85 billion fine jewelry market. They could also play a critical role in providing advanced chips for things like electric vehicles and quantum computing. I nside his rehabbed warehouse in South San Francisco with its line of glowing plasma reactors the size of minivans, Martin Roscheisen, CEO and cofounder of Diamond Foundry, unveils a 4-inch single-crystal diamond wafer. He says it was cut from a palm-size 423-carat rough stone, the biggest man-made diamond ever, large enough to fashion a set of crown jewels. But Roscheisen, 52, presents it as a preview of the age of quantum computing. “Every chip in the future will use diamond wafers,” he says. Be it for phones, laptops or cars, diamond will enable ever smaller high-energy electronics.

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday said it recorded a slight rise in COVID-19 infections nationwide but explained that it is “not significant” enough to implement restrictions in the country. In a press briefing on Tuesday, Health officer-in-charge Maria Rosario Vergeire said that the nationwide average daily infections rose to 207 from March 21 to 27 from the previous week’s 156. “So ‘pag tinignan natin tumaas nga pero kakaunti, and like we always say, nagmomonitor kami and nakikita natin na may konting pagtaas sa bawat lugar, but it is not significant for us to say na kailangan na ulit natin ng restrictions,” said Vergeire. (So when we look at the increase, it is still small, and like we always say, we are monitoring, and we see that there is a slight increase in each place, but it is not significant for us to say that we need restrictions again.) Further, Vergeire added that hospitals in the country continue to have manageable admissions, as well … [Read more...] about DOH notes slight rise in COVID-19 cases

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Co-Founder and CEO of Varonis , responsible for leading the management, strategic direction and execution of the company. In the movie Apollo 13 , three astronauts returning to Earth are unaware of their perilous reentry. Back in Houston at Mission Control, chief flight director Gene Kranz (played by Ed Harris) comments on the unfortunate events, saying: "Is there anything they can do about it?" No one dared to speak. "Then they don't need to know." If Kranz was in IT security, he'd probably have a thing or two to say about actionable information and how there's sometimes too little and many times far too much. In this article, I'll share how automation can help turn the right information into action, helping to defend against cyberattacks, mitigate risk, shore up compliance and improve productivity.

Twitter may be worth half of what Elon Musk paid for it, a sign that the social platform's legal struggles could be taking a toll. Key Takeaways Elon Musk has said Twitter can be profitable as early as the second quarter. In a leaked memo, Musk said the company was worth $20 billion.

Changes made under Musk's guidance have also shaken the confidence of … [Read more...] about Elon Musk Expects About $20 Billion Loss on Twitter Investment

INQUIRER FILE PHOTO MANILA, Philippines —Unfazed by the opposition’s repeated questioning of the urgency of Charter change (Cha-cha), the House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved on final reading a bill seeking to implement the Resolution of Both Houses No. 6, calling for a constitutional convention (con-con) to ease economic restrictions imposed by the 1987 Constitution. So now, all eyes are on the Senate. A nod from the upper chamber will turn up the volume of the first Cha-cha beat under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who had earlier made clear that amending or revising the Constitution was not among the priorities of the government. But will senators follow the President’s lead and sit this one out, or will the upper chamber still dance the Cha-cha on the Senate floor?
