From big companies to small-town mom-and-pop shops to "mompreneurs" working from home, e-commerce is the key to keeping revenue streams flowing and businesses afloat. In fact, e-commerce is really the only way for you to ensure your business' longevity these days, especially if you are a small retailer. Why?

Will Oracle Roil the DB Market? When we write the history of the IT era, the big factor that has played an important but not well recognized role will be hardware -- specifically, the Oracle Exadata appliance that puts databases into memory. All of the cloud software starting with the autonomous database on view this week at OpenWorld would be vastly different if the database was still running primarily on disk drives. [More...] |
10 Blogs That Could Change Your CRM World Where does the discipline of CRM begin? We have a good idea where the software fits, but where does its impact end? With a sale? With a customer saying good things about your company to other customers? With a repeat purchase?

The Rise of Activist Employees in the Tech Industry Things have been changing at an almost unprecedented rate with regard to power structures. The last time I saw this happen was in the 1970s, when the EEOC took off. Suddenly a lot of the off-color, sexist and racist jokes that many executives regularly told could get them fired. A surprisingly large number of people got reassigned, fired, demoted, or otherwise punished. [More...] |

6 Tactics to Bring Out the Superpowers in Retail SMBs
There could be as much as a 22 percent increase in holiday sales this
season. The 2018 U.S. retail e-commerce season will reach $123.4
billion, up from $106.14 billion in 2017, according to Statista's
estimates. If you are a small business retailer, these numbers no doubt
will bring a twinkle to your eye. However, to get your share, you will
need to step up your game.

Harnessing Video for Customer Advocacy
Video has risen in recent years to the forefront of any marketing
campaign, recognized as the optimum medium to elevate brand awareness
and share a company's latest product buzz with an increasingly diverse
and sophisticated audience. It's so easy to work with; platforms are
readily available, simple to learn, and hyper affordable. High-quality
results can be achieved on a budget.

standard e-commerce table stakes you need to master. However, what I
really want to do is help you get ready for Cyber Monday 2019 -- and
beyond.

While online shopping has exploded over the last decade and innovation
around e-commerce has skyrocketed, there has been very little
development around quality improvements in product search, navigation or

solutions, such as Elastic. That is ironic, as great search can make all
the difference for an etailer's bottom line. Here's the problem: Define
exactly what "great search" is.
