Hacking Team's Dingy Laundry Hung Out Online

TechValidate, assessed enterprise adoption plans for application
containers.

Customer Experience Is Everyone's Department
Customer experience is more than the act of trading money for a product
or a service. It's the experience leading up to that, and the experience
customers have with what they've purchased, all the way until they stop
using it. Why is it, then, that the concept of "customer experience"
seems to exist primarily in the marketing department? Marketing is but a
small part of what makes an experience.

The Art of E-Commerce Site Search
Providing an effortless shopping experience is a key driver to the
success of any e-commerce business. E-commerce search is a big factor in
this experience and when done right can provide a significant
competitive advantage. An effective on-site search experience leads to
higher sales and increased customer loyalty. A substandard search
experience can lead to the permanent loss of a customer.
