Today's Story Highlights

Zoho VP Rodrigo Vaca: AI Can Help Salespeople Seize the Moment
"The rise of artificial intelligence, for sales teams both internally
and externally, is the biggest trend in the industry," observed Rodrigo
Vaca, vice president of marketing for CRM at Zoho. If you think of CRM
as the centerpiece for your company, and you marry that with the
escalating amount of data that each company is gathering each day, ...
you can do any sort of analysis on it."

Salesforce's Latest Big Gamble: APIs
Anyone who has attempted to adopt Salesforce cloud solutions in an
enterprise environment knows that it may not be as easy as expected
because of the additional effort typically required to integrate data
sources. This is a common problem that has plagued the enterprise
application industry since its inception. In fact, it spawned an entire
subsegment of integration vendors and service providers.

The Social Utility
If you study economic cycles, you can watch the evolution of a
disruptive technology throughout its lifecycle, from a specific product
to a competitive industry. The last phase in the evolutionary chain is
the formation of a utility. For example, over a couple of centuries
we've seen the evolution of electricity from a curiosity, to a business,
to a group of public companies.

Brit Lawmakers Want Cambridge Analytica's Nix to Explain a Few Things
British lawmakers want Alexander Nix, the suspended chief executive of
Cambridge Analytica, to return to Parliament for additional questioning
in its fake news inquiry. The Parliament's probe led to disclosures that
Facebook had allowed Cambridge Analytica unauthorized access to up to 50
million user records, igniting a firestorm over user data privacy and
possible U.S. voter manipulation.

Facebook Swelters in Cambridge Analytica Heat
CEO Mark Zuckerberg broke Facebook's mysterious silence following news
of investigations into Cambridge Analytica's access to personal data
belonging to 50 million Facebook users. Facing the wrath of everyone
from U.S. and European regulators to shareholders, customers and
employees, Zuckerberg conceded that Facebook must make several changes
if it expects to be taken seriously in the future.
