Your employees, customers, and partners need the ability to connect and collaborate, at any time, from any location—across time zones or simply across the conference table. And those workplaces are expanding faster than ever, powered by mobile and cloud usage that makes virtual meetings essential. With scalable and secure voice, video, and content sharing, real-time collaboration can happen anywhere. Staying connected can lead to improved productivity and faster decision-making, as well as better customer service. But only if the technology offers a seamless experience and is intuitive enough to drive user adoption. While the need for better meetings is universal, not all conferencing tools are the same. Choosing the wrong tool could actually decrease productivity by wasting valuable meeting time troubleshooting the technology, or by providing a negative experience that will deter users from embracing it. This is especially true in situations where poor meeting quality could impact

While there’s no hotter topic at the intersection of business and technology than AI, Avanade research shows that 88% of global business and IT decision-makers say they don’t know how to use AI, and 79% say that internal resistance limits their implementation of it. It doesn’t have to be this way. Human-centered AI, which focuses on augmenting the workforce to improve customer and employee experiences, can contribute directly to achieving business goals. This point of view discusses the ways your organization can take advantage of a human-centered AI approach, including redefining jobs and creating a digital ethics framework.

Business travel accounts for the majority of your employee expenses. Travel and expenses are intrinsically linked, so why not manage them together? When you combine travel and expense, some questions are easier to answer: • Where can I find a full picture of travel and expense spend? • Are expense claims aligned to my travel policy? • Can I reclaim some VAT? To connect travel and expense management, businesses usually look for software that can manage both processes from beginning to end. This is commonly referred to as an integrated solution. The results could be cost savings, faster delivery or improved employee adoption and satisfaction

A significant paradigm shift occurred in the last few years. Much like other technological shifts of the last decade — when cloud computing changed the way we do business, agile changed the way we develop software and Amazon changed the way we shop — Zero Trust presents us with a new paradigm in how we secure our organizations, our data and our employees. While difficult to identify the precise tipping point, one thing is certain: what were once extraordinarily high-profile, damaging breaches are no longer extraordinary. In just the last 18 months, Yahoo, Accenture, HBO, Verizon, Uber, Equifax, Deloitte, the U.S. SEC, the RNC, the DNC, the OPM, HP, Oracle and a profusion of attacks aimed at the SMB market have all proven that every organization — public or private — is susceptible. The epiphany behind the paradigm shift is clear: Widely-accepted security approaches based on bolstering a trusted network do not work. And they never will. Especially when businesses are dealing with skill

Early in my career, I worked on the shop floor at Home Depot. As part of my management training, I rotated into an assistant store manager position, and the team I found myself leading was full of highly experienced master-tradespeople. I quickly realised that my lovely college degree was of zero use when customers wanted to know how to fix their leaky taps or install new light fixtures. No amount of friendliness could overcome the fact that I simply couldn’t answer those questions. Yet, our experienced associates were helping customers find exactly what they needed.

HCM suites and their individual applications also provide reporting and data as needed by local and international regulations, and often include analytics and dashboard capabilities. Transactional employee and manager self-service have become embedded roles within these solutions, and the ability to support mobile access has also become a fundamental part of these offerings. With increasing frequency, we see the inclusion of tools and applications embedded within HCM technologies to infuse traditional processes with collaboration, and capitalize on approaches that leverage social channels in the workplace to enhance overall user engagement and productivity.

As May 25th, 2018 approaches, many of the organisations that I speak to are choosing to modernise their HR systems to help with their compliance efforts. In particular, where organisations have a complicated mix of different HR systems and spreadsheets, with employee data spread across different databases managed by multiple security models, GDPR compliance will be more difficult. Contrast such a complicated mix of HR systems with Workday’s unified, single system approach to HR, with a single source of HR data and a single security model, and you can see why organisations are choosing to move to Workday as they work to both modernise their HR systems and move towards GDPR compliance. We hope you find this research an i

They also provide Learning and Development administrators the peace of mind that training will be delivered as needed, in a consistent manner and that tracking the progress of individuals will also be made simpler by automation.
