Today's Story Highlights

Leveraging IoT to Redefine Your Business
While most businesses are focusing their Internet of Things efforts on
areas that will generate immediate cost-savings and operating
efficiencies, a number of IoT pioneers already are leveraging a new
generation of connected products to fundamentally change their business
models. There is no question that the safest bet in today's IoT
environment is targeting narrowly defined deployments.

Musk Defends Autopilot Safety Record Following Fatal Crash
CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday accused Fortune magazine of incorrectly
reporting Tesla Motors' handling of a fatal accident that involved a
Tesla Model S. The incident took place in May. Musk's online post is the
latest salvo in a war of wars between Fortune and Tesla. Musk accused
Fortune , in essence, of jumping the gun in its reporting of Tesla's
response to the accident.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Brings CRM and ERP Together
In a bid to augment its cloud services business with more flexibility on
pricing and customization, Microsoft has announced the launch of
Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft AppSource, which will integrate its
ERP and CRM solutions. The combined cloud offerings, which will become
available this fall, will allow customers to choose purpose-built apps
for a range of business management processes.

Feds Probe Philanderers' Site Ashley Madison: Report
The United States Federal Trade Commission reportedly has launched an
investigation into philanderers' dating site Ashley Madison. The
company, which suffered a massive data breach last year that resulted in
extortion attempts and ruined lives, as well as class-action lawsuits,
earlier this week announced that it hired a new CEO and a new president
in April.

FBI Director Raps Clinton but Recommends No Criminal Action
Although an FBI investigation concluded that Hillary Clinton's use of a
separate email system during her tenure as Secretary of State may have
violated federal law, Director James B. Comey recommended no criminal
prosecution. Considered in light of the bureau's actions in similar
cases in the past, Comey explained, the facts in the Clinton case do not
warrant the filing of criminal charges.

BlackBerry Lets Go of Its Classic Phone
BlackBerry on Tuesday announced it will cease manufacturing the
BlackBerry Classic. "The Classic has long surpassed the average lifespan
for a smartphone in today's market," noted COO Ralph Pini. "To keep
innovating and advancing our portfolio, we are updating our smartphone
lineup with state-of-the-art devices." BlackBerry intends to continue
supporting its BlackBerry 10 platform, however.

Learning Something CRM-ish From Brexit
This summer has started out to be anything but a somnolent day at the
beach. The Brexit vote for the UK to leave the EU is enough to disturb
your slumber. To be frank, it appears we are at one of those major
historical transition points that might happen a few times in any of our
lives. Without stirring up a hornet's nest, I would like to discuss CRM
in all of this.
