Message From Our Sponsor
If you have an online store there are many trends to pay attention to:
where people shop, reasons for cart abandonment, actions taken to
qualify for free shipping, return preferences, and more. Check out
this Infographic about where the industry is, where it's headed,
and how to navigate the e-commerce landscape.

Today's Story Highlights

Cryptocurrency Basics for E-Commerce Businesses
With all the talk about cryptocurrencies, you might be wondering whether
your e-commerce business should start accepting them as a form of
payment. There is no simple answer to that question. It all depends on
the type of business you have and your tolerance for volatility and
risk. In any case, it's a good idea to understand what cryptocurrencies
are and how they work.

Oracle's Security Jag
Oracle has been on a security campaign ever since Larry Ellison openly
began discussing the new "autonomous database" -- so called because it
can manage itself, including self-patching and upgrading, without human
effort. The hands-off database can eliminate human labor to keep it
tuned and running, according to Oracle, greatly reducing the time
between availability and implementation.

The Cloud's Hazy Security
A significant percentage of IT systems are cloud-based, according to a
recent survey. The cloud is a key enabler for emerging technology,
suggests the CompTIA poll, which was conducted last month. Cloud
computing was one of four trends respondents expected to feature heavily
in IT conversations over the next 12 to 18 months, the survey found.
Others were AI, the IoT and cybersecurity.

The Wireless Industry's Two-Horse Race
There has been a lot of noise in the wireless industry in the last few
years. Between the competition among existing wireless carriers and the
challenges of new players, the industry has been growing and
transforming. However, despite all the chaos, one thing has remained
unchanged: Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility are still the top two
competitors in the space.

There's a New AI-Based Data Service on the CRM Block
Cien this week released its AI-based Data Enhancement Services to help
companies manage CRM records in Salesforce Sales Cloud implementations.
Data Enhancement Services "is an optional standalone Cien offering for
companies that aren't ready to start tackling their sales productivity
traps and feel a more urgent need to augment their CRM data," noted Cien
CEO Rob Käll.
