Today's Story Highlights

Fitting Clothing Sales to E-Commerce
When buying clothes, many consumers still prefer to head to a bricks-
and-mortar store, browse the racks, and try things on. There's something
about clothing, after all, that's inherently tactile and personal.
Gradually, however, the way people buy clothes has been changing.
Digital technologies are reshaping the world of online fashion sales.
One of the keys to sales success is personalization.

5 Important Lessons Brands Can Learn From Apple
I'll admit it, it was love at first sight when I purchased my first
MacBook. It was my iPhone that prompted my decision to give up years of
PC efficiencies and dive head first into learning a new operating
system, but familiarity had kept me complacent for too long. Still, I
remember the excitement of unpacking my new laptop. It struck me then
that Apple knew me better than I knew myself.

Security First: The Double-Edged Sword of Collaboration
Online tech support scams have been on the rise for the past decade, as
hackers found new ways to trick consumers into providing remote access
to their computers in order to steal information. This tried-and-true
scam currently relies on sophisticated social engineering, fueled by
detailed user information that creates enough credibility to dupe even
the most savvy and skeptical users.

Autonomous Linux and the IT Utility
Oracle came late to cloud computing, joining the fray only after
competitors like Microsoft and Salesforce had established dominant
positions, and newcomer Amazon Web Services leaped from a standing start
to a position of dominance. Amazon is so strong in the cloud that it is
on the cusp of extinguishing the last challenges to its win of the 10-
year $10 billion Pentagon JEDI procurement.

Blackouts Symptomatic of Perilous Times for Pay TV
Dish Network and Fox Corporation were able to come to terms last
weekend, ending the blackout of Fox owned-and-operated local stations,
as well as FS1, FS2, BTN, Fox Soccer Plus and Fox Deportes. The blackout
of those channels was notable for its timing. The fall college and
professional seasons had just begun -- as well as the new fall season of
prime time programming on Fox.

Now Is the Time for Sales Organizations to Embrace AI
Artificial intelligence is arguably the most disruptive technology to
emerge over the last few decades. Consumers are producing data at record
levels. It's estimated we'll produce 463 exabytes per day by 2025. Yet
humans aren't equipped to process that complex information. We're
starting to rely more on AI to interpret massive amounts of consumer and
third-party data in real time.
