The internet has ingrained itself into every aspect of our lives, but there’s one aspect of the digital world that I bet you take for granted. Did you ever notice that many links, specifically hyperlinks, are blue?

Did Covid-19 destroy in-store shopping? Can retailers revitalize the brick-and-mortar experience to lure customers back to physical locations? The books explore lessons learned during the pandemic to demonstrate how successful stores and brands are tackling these challenges.

The CPaaS segment has progressed beyond the provision of a few voice and messaging APIs. Developers and enterprises demand a high level of reliability for phone numbers and messaging delivery, as well as vertical use case templates and tools for rapid onboarding and deployment.

Key attributes enterprises should consider when seeking a CPaaS provider:

• Carrier-grade network infrastructure
• Demonstrable use cases
• Software integrations
• Ancillary services

Investments in digital commerce continue to grow as companies adapt to new business models and sales processes prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research evaluates the viability of 17 digital commerce platform vendors to help application leaders make informed decisions.

The shift to digital channels is happening at the speed of “a decade in days.” Our research suggests that the change will be sticky: a majority of consumer categories will continue to project more growth in e-commerce than in other channels over the next several years.

Where Primark has strayed furthest from the fashion pack is in its refusal to sell anything online, which it sees as unfeasible at its price points. That has kept margins plump as the company avoided a wodge of spending on developing apps and fulfilment capabilities. The lack of an online presence meant that Primark lost up to 100% of sales as the pandemic shut shops around the world. Extended closures, especially in Britain, home to about half of its 380 outlets, cost it £3bn in sales and perhaps £1bn in profit.

Application leaders can not meet market needs or business objectives with monolithic digital experience platforms and must update tech stacks, decompose monoliths and deliver task-oriented capabilities. To future-proof the stack, a composable DXP must be used to deliver composable user experiences.

The ERP for product-centric enterprises market is accelerating its transition to cloud deployment models. ERP application leaders should use this Magic Quadrant to evaluate cloud ERP application suites as part of a composable ERP strategy.

Cerebras unveiled the world’s first multi-million core AI cluster architecture! Our unique technology handles neural networks with up to an astonishing 120 trillion parameters. That’s approximately the number of synapses in the human brain! Today, to run models at only a fraction of that size, clusters of graphics processors consume acres of space, megawatts of power, and require dedicated teams to operate. We can fix that.

To unlock the potential of extreme-scale models, we realized a new approach is needed. One that addresses the challenge of scaling massive memory, compute, and communication all at once. Such a solution must be able to support the largest models of today, and scale to empower the models of tomorrow.

This reference architecture, a key piece of Credera’s end-to-end MarTech assessment and enablement framework, provides a logical view of the data, processes, and technology needed to enable one-to-one marketing use cases. Put more simply, we use the reference architecture as a tool to explain the building blocks that are required to enable modern, data-driven marketing.

The martech reference model defines a taxonomy based on a common understanding of customer-centric business needs, requisite capabilities, and the recommended technology components.

A systematic approach to identifying and prioritizing AI risks can help organizations effectively target mitigation efforts.

Enterprises have significantly accelerated their use of public CIPS providers as they seek to scale and become more agile in the postpandemic period. Major differences between the providers warrant careful consideration as I&O leaders make strategic cloud provider selections.

This report presents research findings from the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), with McKinsey & Company as a knowledge partner. Our analysis identified seven imperatives that can give retailers the ability to adapt to a changing consumer landscape while pursuing new opportunities.

Based on a survey of 3,000 senior executives around the globe, the 2021 AlixPartners Disruption Index confirms that cycles of disruption, which displace existing businesses, markets, and value networks in favor of newer ecosystems and relationships, have emerged as the central strategic challenge for business leaders today.
