How to Simplify Application Usage & Deployment with Microapps
Microapps are playing a key role to unlocking organizational agility. Productivity
improvements come from delivering focused experiences streamlining how a
user interacts with organizational applications. IT costs are controlled by reducing
work required to ship new functionality. Further, existing apps can at times be
replaced by microapps, helping to clean up organizational digital clutter—all
while enhancing the user experience.
The best way to get started with microapps is to have a consultation with our
subject matter experts. We’ll help you understand what the possibilities are with
microapps, as well as discuss tradeoffs. We can initiate a limited duration Fastrack
innovation cycle where we do the initial implementation then train your team to
continue building microapps from a known point of success. Or, if preferred, we
can handle the full cycle of development.

Strategic Outlook for 9 Types of Developers in the Digital Era
Traditionally, application development was viewed as an isolated activity, working largely without disturbance from other areas of the company. However, with technology becoming deeply entrenched into every aspect of business, development teams have become an increasingly strategic asset.
Now, modern enterprises are being tasked with building comprehensive digital teams, with each developer bringing unique skills and specialties to the table. How well this team is constructed can play a huge role in the success of a company’s broader digital efforts.

Chatbots: Hunting for Easter Eggs or Improving CX?
Chatbots have emerged as a great option for providing a 24/7 self-service solution to address a host of customer support requirements. They enable customers to get their questions answered in real-time and they free up support staff from having to field high volumes of repetitive inquiries. And with advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, chatbots are becoming extremely effective at providing a cognitive and conversational experience that your customers will love.
As chatbot adoption has increased, various types have entered the market to address different requirements. For example, chatbots built for specific B2C or B2B support use cases, called transactional bots, are very different from those built for more wide-ranging applications, referred to as knowledge bots. This paper examines five key differences between these two chatbot types and their fit for addressing customer self-service needs.

5 Factors to Make or Break Chatbot CX
Customer satisfaction is critical to any organization's success because poor customer experiences can spread like wildfire, globally proliferated in real-time via social media and other digital channels. The need for businesses to deliver the best possible customer experience (CX) has never been more critical.
Chatbots offer great promise for improving CX and addressing the demands of 24/7 customer self-service support. Unfortunately, traditional chatbots have failed to address those needs in a customer-friendly way due to limited intelligence and requiring users to follow unnatural, predefined paths rather than creating an environment that resembles a human conversation.
In this paper we'll look at five key factors for overcoming those challenges so you can deliver your customers a superior self-service experience with a chatbot.

Why You Need a New Mobile Architecture
Great user experiences today and in the future will be embodied in mobile apps, responsive web applications and interactions with the Internet of Things. The need for these great user experiences has already transformed the way consumer applications are designed, built, delivered and maintained.
The same consumers are now demanding similar experiences from enterprise applications. New enterprise applications have to be what Forrester calls “Systems of Engagement,” where the focus is on elegantly adapting processes to people instead of focusing just on the processes themselves.
