 | Picking a product of the year is anything but trivial because the products I cover every week range from headphones to laptops to books, cars and more. So, I thought I'd try something different this year and pick six products that each deserve the title and then name a winner that stands out from the rest. This allows me to simplify the task and get around a bit of a writer's block I've been having on this subject. [More...] |
 | 6 E-Commerce Shipping Strategies That Level the Playing Field for SMBs E-commerce continues to become more competitive as large companies like Amazon, Target and Walmart soak up market share and customer attention. Shipping window expectations have become shorter, and many online retailers struggle to keep up, particularly SMBs. How can SMBs compete? Not only is competing possible, there are many SMBs that have been finding exceptional success. [More...] |
 | Is Weak Data Integrity Foiling Your CRM? American companies spend an enormous amount of money on training. Spending reached more than $90 billion in 2017, an increase of over 32 percent from 2016. It's unlikely that even a small share of the billions spent on training last year were devoted to educating and motivating employees to regularly and accurately input data into a company's CRM. Maybe it should have been. [More...] |
 | The Do's and Don'ts of Designing a Great Digital UX In tech parlance, the emotional result of a person's interaction with a website or digital app is called "user experience" or "UX" -- and the success of a business depends on it. Users who have easy, positive experiences with websites and apps likely will be drawn back to the business. On the contrary, websites and apps with poor navigation and slow loading times likely will turn off consumers. [More...] |
 | Breaking Up the Crypto-Criminal Bar Brawl As if e-commerce companies didn't have enough problems with transacting securely and defending against things like fraud, another avalanche of security problems -- like cryptojacking, the act of illegally mining cryptocurrency on your end servers -- has begun. We've also seen a rise in digital credit card skimming attacks against popular e-commerce software such as Magento. [More...] |
 | What People With Disabilities Want Etailers to Know About Their Online Shopping Experience Many shoppers would be just fine if they could never set foot in a retail store again. After all, everything is available online: books, groceries, pizza, household necessities, even big ticket items like mattresses and cars. However, 15 percent of people worldwide have a disability that affects their daily life, and many retailers are unaware that their websites are not always accessible to them. [More...] |

Today's Story Highlights
The Smartest Tech Products of 2018
Picking a product of the year is anything but trivial because the products I cover every week range from headphones to laptops to books,
cars and more. So, I thought I'd try something different this year and
pick six products that each deserve the title and then name a winner
that stands out from the rest. This allows me to simplify the task and
get around a bit of a writer's block I've been having on this subject.

It's Time to Take a Hard Look at Healthcare Cloud Security
The healthcare cloud has been growing incredibly, becoming an ever-more- important element of health information technology, or HIT. There are
many reasons why the HIT cloud has been becoming more prominent, such as
research and development and collaboration. Since the cloud has been
expanding so rapidly, this may be a good time to reconsider security.

Breaking Up the Crypto-Criminal Bar Brawl
As if e-commerce companies didn't have enough problems with transacting securely and defending against things like fraud, another avalanche of
security problems -- like cryptojacking, the act of illegally mining
cryptocurrency on your end servers -- has begun. We've also seen a rise
in digital credit card skimming attacks against popular e-commerce
software such as Magento.

4. 'DNA Printing' in the Cloud, Part 2
In DNA printing, genetic code becomes computer code. This occurs when the chemical bases adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine present in a
chemical mix or gene sequence are translated by computer through gel
electrophoresis technology into their representative letters: A/T, T/A,
C/G, G/C. This alphabet code was formalized in 1970 by the International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

2018: The Year of Fighting for Positive Change
When I think of corporate responsibility, one company tends to float to the top, and that is Cisco. With massive efforts to train people all
over the world in the critical networking skills needed to secure and
expand global communications, Cisco has been taking a major chunk out of
joblessness. It has invested millions to reduce homelessness near its
headquarters, for example.

5 Ways to Make Your Website Gen-Z Friendlier
Generation Z is getting a lot of attention these days, as the cohort is expected to outpace millennials, and comprise 32 percent of the world's
7.7 billion population. This powerful group of consumers was born into a
digital world. A much-reported claim is that Generation Z has an
attention span of 8 seconds. It may seem that your website should mirror
this lightning-quick attention span.
