Learn MoreDoing more with less is the defining characteristic of finance and accounting departments in midsize enterprises, which ISG research defines as organizations with between 100 and 999 workers. One frustrating truth confronting executives in these organizations is that, once their company stops being a small business, it has many of the same challenges that large enterprises face but with fewer resources to deal with them. Over the past two decades, advances in information technology have had the greatest incremental impact on midsize enterprises, approaching the ability of large organizations to harness practical, affordable and reliable technology to gain productivity and improve performance, especially in the office of finance. The introduction of artificial intelligence and generative AI will close the gap further.
For many years, HR teams encountered an endless stream of buzzwords often intended to garner excitement about new technological developments or further evolution of the HR profession. Unfortunately, this often leads us down unproductive paths in the attempt to be part of the conversation. Often, executives and senior leaders will express a requirement to include the latest buzzwords in any software RFPs as a minimum for participation. HR teams find themselves in a position of compliance but struggle to be fully informed and educated on the what, why and how associated with the trendy topics.
Software providers have identified “openness” as a key consideration for contact center buyers. Since there is no generally accepted rule about what makes a system open, it makes sense for us to examine what components contribute to that quality, and why it should be thought of as a good thing.
The breadth of customer experience (CX) solutions created by software providers in recent years has expanded into new areas, usually related or adjacent to existing, more traditional toolkits. Most providers in the space began as more-or-less pure play contact center software providers, so the CX toolset starts with that set of technologies. Products are grounded in core functions for service delivery, like interaction handling, labor management and customer tracking. Some software providers have come into the CX space from other starting points, notably customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing technologies, so they start with a different core toolset, often expanding to add contact center functions.
The degree to which data platforms are critical to efficient business operations cannot be overstated. Without data platforms, enterprises would be reliant on a combination of paper records, time-consuming manual processes and huge libraries of physical files to record, process and store business information. The extent to which that is unthinkable highlights the level at which today’s enterprises and society as a whole rely on data platforms. The core persistence, management, processing and query requirements of data platforms have been well established since the emergence of the database market in the early 1970s. The data platforms market continues to evolve to keep pace with emerging capabilities and requirements. Two of the most significant trends driving the data platforms sector in recent years are cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
