As businesses plunge into the digital future, no asset will have a greater impact on success than data. The ability to collect, harness, analyze, protect, and manage data will determine which businesses disrupt their industries, and which are disrupted; which businesses thrive, and which disappear. But traditional storage solutions are not designed to optimally handle such a critical business asset. Instead, businesses need to adopt an all-flash data center. In their new role as strategic business enablers, IT leaders have the responsibility to ensure that their businesses are protected, by investing in flexible, future-proof flash storage solutions. The right flash solution can deliver on critical business needs for agility, rapid growth, speed-to-market, data protection, application performance, and cost-effectiveness—while minimizing the maintenance and administration burden.

Transactional employee and manager self-service have become embedded roles within these solutions, and the ability to support mobile access has also become a fundamental part of these offerings. With increasing frequency, we see the inclusion of tools and applications embedded within HCM technologies to infuse traditional processes with collaboration, and capitalize on approaches that leverage social channels in the workplace to enhance overall user engagement and productivity.

A New Security Model Worth Understanding—and Emulating Enterprise security traditionally relied on a fortress strategy that locked down user endpoints and created walls around the network. Today, this strategy cannot support or secure the use of mobile devices and SaaS capabilities, which exist outside the fortress. As a result, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) have been looking for new solutions that can secure these technologies today, and adapt as threats and business needs change. The credit card industry’s security model is one example that provides a new way to think about risk and contain it—that is, if you can see past the occasional bad rap it’s gotten from attacks and breaches.

Un nouveau modèle de sécurité qui mérite d’être étudié... et reproduit. Traditionnellement, la sécurité des entreprises a toujours été fondée sur une stratégie de « forteresse », chargée de sécuriser les terminaux utilisateur et de former une barrière de protection autour du réseau. Aujourd’hui, cette stratégie n’est pas en mesure de supporter ou de sécuriser l’utilisation des périphériques mobiles et des fonctionnalités SaaS, qui existent en-dehors de la forteresse. Les responsables de la sécurité des informations (CISO, Chief Information Security Officer) sont donc tenus de trouver de nouvelles solutions à même de sécuriser ces technologies actuelles, et de s’adapter aux menaces et aux besoins métier en évolution.

For many companies, language barriers increase as business globalization becomes the norm rather than the exception. Perhaps a call center agent cannot handle customer contact in an unfamiliar language. Or a manager travels to a face-toface meeting only to sit across a conference table from clients wanting to speak in their own native language. Even within your organization, teams across global geographies must collaborate to achieve collective goals, but language barriers often stand in their way. Meanwhile, HR leaders are tasked with recruiting and retaining top talent and L&D managers must align programs with business goals. Each of these scenarios and areas of responsibility have something in common: A clear need for company-sponsored training to develop employees’ language proficiency so they can engage successfully with colleagues and customers anywhere. Thousands of learners were surveyed about the impact of language training with Rosetta Stone® business solutions.1 Results show
