Organizations realize the time is now to move to a new deployment model. Digital transformation and proliferation of devices have put IT departments in the spotlight: They must move away from being linear, traditional controllers and evolve into modern transformers that are agile, flexible, and employee centric. PC-as-a-service (PCaaS) has emerged as the go-to model for IT because of the level of automation, efficiency, and employee empowerment it offers. None of this can be accomplished without a competent business partner that underpins the new customized, deployment model. In February 2019, Dell commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate employee experience and enterprise computing. Forrester conducted an online survey with 1,186 IT leaders across the globe to understand current PC lifecycle management deployment models.

Think about all the ways your life today is different than it was ten years ago. Think about how you shop, how you get around, how you plan travel, and how you stay in touch. So many things that used to be a hassle are now almost effortless. If your life feels different, it’s because you’re living in a new era – what experts are calling the 4th Industrial Revolution. You’ve probably heard some of the more catch-phrased components – big data, artificial intelligence, deep analytics.

It’s the information, insights, and automations that enhance experiences, predict needs, strengthen connections, and deliver the right info or action at the right time, in the right way. And the Intellig

2017 and 2018 were not easy years to be a CIO or CISO, and 2019 isn’t showing any signs of being easier. With so many career-ending-level data breaches in 2017 (e.g., Equifax, Uber, Yahoo, to name a few) and with the stronger regulatory requirements worldwide, CIOs/CISOs have a corporate responsibility to rethink their approach to data security. Regulatory compliance aside, companies have a responsibility to their customers and shareholders to protect data, and minimize its exposure not only to external attackers but also to employees. The most common method of data breach in 2017 was a phishing email sent to a company’s internal employees (See 2017 Data Breach Investigation Report), This makes employees unwillingly complicit in the data breach. Over 80% of successful cyberattacks have a critical human element that enabled them. The average employee who opens the innocent-looking attachment or link, is unintentionally jeopardizing a company’s data. While there is no 100% protection, th

Do you know what your employees are doing on your network? Do you know about the latest ransomware attack your security team is battling? How about your business partners? Are they secure?

Perhaps you’re aware that your organization should have a formal incident response plan. Or maybe you already have one.

This eBook provides you with some insight to help you build and strengthen your organization’s incident response plan.

Your users, especially when working outside of the office, no longer need to always connect to the corporate network to get work done. They often connect directly to SaaS apps. And, let’s face it, employees also don’t turn on the VPN if they’re using their work laptop for personal use — which means they’re left with very little security protection. To solve these new challenges, security controls must also shift to the cloud. This in-depth white paper describes how security must evolve to protect users anywhere they access the internet, why traditional secure web gateway (SWG) solutions cannot address these gaps, and why a new kind of internet gateway represents an entirely new way of thinking about securing your users

By the time most customers reach a human employee with a question, chances are they have already researched online or tried to self-serve. This means employee transformation is required to develop more sophisticated employees in the age of automation to solve more advanced customer issues. Because front-line jobs are becoming more complex, employees need to be tactical, technical, and ready to emotionally handle these new types of interactions. Recently, Lamont Exeter, head of Learning & Development at TTEC Digital, teamed up with Tim Duranleau of SAP Litmos in a webinar to discuss ways that companies can combine learning and technology to create more sophisticated employees. Below are some key highlights from the discussion.

Today’s most successful brands blend Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation with human intelligence (HUMINT) to augment their customer and employee experience strategies in the contact center – and as a result, they’re winning over customers. While some tasks are perfect for automation – think about those mundane, repetitive, low-value actions – the truth is, AI simply cannot replicate the “human touch.” Understanding the strengths of each kind of intelligence (AI + HUMIT), and using them to cooperatively deliver exceptional employee and customer experiences is a pivotal competitive differentiator for brands. These leading brands agree there are four specific ways to drive the greatest outcomes – and we go into detail about them in all our Contact Center Collaborative Intelligence strategy guide.

R O I : T H E H O LY GRAIL OF CX Return on Investment (ROI) is the holy grail of customer (CX), employee (EX) and market (MX) experiences. Every practitioner wants to prove it’s real, but the quest to find it can be fraught with peril and, in the end, many businesses end up believing it’s completely fictional. This ebook will delve into the mysteries of the financial impact of experience programs and how you can implement and measure experience initiatives designed to deliver ROI. Why is the ROI of experiences so hard to establish? The answer is twofold: 1. ROI is not a single number; it’s wide-ranging and can be found in any part of the enterprise. 2. Many businesses focus too much on the end goal (ROI), but fail to establish a program with the necessary elements required for success.
