Delphix added senior executives in field operations, customer success, and sales with
experience scaling to over a billion dollars in revenue. Over the last decade, code, networks,
servers, and storage have all been automated by cloud and infrastructure vendors. But data
has remained heavy, complex, and filled with security and privacy risk. To achieve cloud
speed and scale, enterprises need programmable data infrastructure—data that is automated,
secure, and easily moved to anywhere it’s needed across the multi-cloud. But digital
transformation programs often starve for data and application environments, which can slow
or derail transformation progress. Without data-ready environments, projects hemorrhage
developer productivity, miss timelines, and overrun budgets.

patient’s demographics, clinical condition, or provider. By giving care teams unique insights into each and every patient, they can deliver a more
personalized experience. Qualtrics Health Connect brings patient feedback gathered from questionnaires distributed through email, QR Code,
SMS, or mobile apps directly into an individual patient record for a more complete view of each patient. For example, feedback from an oncology
patient and their sensitivity to certain room conditions can be added to a patient record, prompting the caregiver to be more sensitive or responsive

IT Shades
Vantage Engage & Enable
GE Digital and Teradata announced the release of a new GE Digital software solution that integrates with Teradata Vantage, the cloud data analytics
platform, to provide blended enterprise and operations data in an aviation-specific data model. The solution, Flight Data Link, helps accelerate airlines’
digital transformation - driving reduced expenses and greater insights into operations by integrating customer, maintenance, and supply chain data.
Flight Data Link allows flight data from GE Digital’s Event Measurement System Lorem
(EMS), a comprehensive flight data processing system delivering

fast, accurate, and actionable insights, to be made available through Teradata Vantage. Vantage powers an enterprises’ data analytic ecosystem -

integrating all relevant data into a single platform to make analytics available across the enterprise. By merging flight data with operational data in
Vantage, airlines are able to perform complex analysis of multiple flights across their fleets. Combining EMS and Vantage helps airlines connect the
dots from operational data to flight data, giving them the ability to gain new insight across their airline. Connecting full flight data with Teradata Vantage
provides the ability to do complex analytical functions across multiple flights, routes, and assets. Business users can apply a BI tool or programming
language (i.e. Python, R, Java) to perform analysis, and then airlines can leverage the integrated data across their ecosystem to recommend specific
actions based on flight behaviour and data understanding. Further, airlines can maximize equipment and operational data (outside of and in addition to
the safety team) by using full flight data for predictive maintenance and – with the integration of supply chain data – help improve operations.

The solution to too many tabs in a tab bar is here – a second tab bar in Vivaldi 3.6. Six years ago, in its first public appearance, Vivaldi
unveiled Tab Stacks – the ability to group and manage tabs together. Now, Vivaldi introduces Two-Level Tab Stacks, taking its tab
functionality to the next level, literally. With Two-Level Tab Stacks, stacked tabs are displayed in a second tab bar. This

first-of-its-kind feature opens up a new way of viewing and managing tabs on desktops and notebooks. Tabs are an essential part of

browsing but many people struggle when it comes to organizing and managing them. Over the years, Vivaldi has strengthened its
comprehensive tab functionality with modern, built-in features that adapt to how people work today (even more so in times of
remote-working). Tab Stacks, Tab Tiling, Vertical Tabs, Auto Stacking, and a plethora of other tab features make viewing, managing,
and navigating between tabs in the Vivaldi browser easy. Ever had 400 tabs open at the same time? Vivaldi has a better way to handle
them. Tab Stacks help organize a group of tabs by dragging one tab over another. In Vivaldi’s original implementation, stacks take up
no more space than a single tab. This keeps the browser window tidy and is an efficient way to quickly access a large number of tabs.
Clearly, the focus is on staying compact.

new distributed world of work Engage & Enable
Description
On-demand collaboration happens fast nowadays. Service agents, from IT, HR and other departments, need to collaborate quickly to resolve employee
needs before they become larger issues. Great employee experiences demand end-to-end integration and execution at scale. No longer a nice-to-have,
productive collaboration has become essential for business continuity and enterprise resilience, as some workers start to return to the physical
workplace. The innovations announced support agents through the distributed workforce model by facilitating rapid and direct lines of communications
within Microsoft Teams to meet employees where they are. Simultaneously, agents now have the resources to prepare for increased incidents and
requests as employees return to the physical workplace and require assistance in their transitions back to the office. Once an incident is resolved, all of
the activity is captured in the Now Platform so that in the future, others can also benefit from the interaction. During the pandemic, customers have
found that virtual agents provide employees answers and drive agent productivity so they can focus on the most complex issues. At ServiceNow, we
have seen substantial growth in customers rolling out intelligent chatbot experiences. In 2020, Virtual Agent deployments increased 300%, and

Description
Software AG has entered into a collaboration agreement with Automation Anywhere, which will make scalable automation achievable
for more businesses. Software AG’s ARIS platform will bookend Automation Anywhere RPA with process mining and process
management. This will improve the discovery of automation opportunities and then management of automated processes. Automation
Anywhere is a leader in RPA technology, demand for which has grown significantly in the last year as companies seek to increase
efficiency and cost savings within their organization. Software AG’s brings tools to manage automation as RPA continues to become more
commonplace. Automation begins with process mining, to identify processes that require automation. ARIS process mining helps reduce
bottlenecks, such as lots of activity landing in one inbox, as well activities that are unnecessarily resource intensive, for instance where
humans might need to review lengthy documents for basic information. Too many projects miss this step and automate processes
unnecessarily. Task mining tools – such as Discovery Bot from Automation Anywhere – then analyse how employees interact with these
processes to learn how best to automate them. Once the robotic automation has been designed and rolled out, ARIS process management
helps to monitor how effective those robots are. This helps make sure that the new ‘robotic workers’ are up to date with the right ‘skills’.

NICE Announces Agile WEM, Empowering Organizations to Sustain High IT Shades
Employee Engagement in the Work-from-Anywhere Reality Engage & Enable
Description
NICE announced Agile Workforce Engagement Management (WEM), a new offering that allows organizations to empower excellence
anywhere among the workforce. Enabling employees to work from anywhere under one roof and driving up engagement, Agile WEM also
empowers organizations to rapidly adapt and respond to business upheaval. Despite the recent roll-out of vaccines in some parts of the world,
it’s clear that a return to business as usual as we knew it will be slow if even a possibility. Remote work is therefore no longer an intermediate
state but a long term one. Contact center teams have faced an upsurge in interaction volume over the past nine months coupled with the lack
of immediate manager support and the absence of swivel chair assistance in this new reality. This has resulted in a decline in workforce
engagement. Organizations must find new ways to motivate the workforce and drive up performance to ensure top quality service that’s
conducive to customer loyalty. Organizations must also ensure they are equipped to face sudden business upheaval and mitigate surprises that
could adversely impact continuity. Agile WEM allows organizations to virtually connect the workforce under one roof irrespective of location,
motivate and recognize as well as empower employees with the tools and data needed to deliver exceptional customer experiences. With Agile
WEM, organizations are ready to rapidly adapt and respond to an ever-changing business environment.

their patients. Within six weeks of launching Yext Answers, Advantage Dental experienced a 27.5% site search click-through rate. In just one
month after making the search bar on its website more prominent, Advantage also saw search volume increase by 7.1x.
