Companies everywhere are learning how to make personalization profitable, using analytics to provide better service and effective market to their customers. As Continuum Analytics CEO put it the other day, “Today, data is coming from everywhere: phone, Internet browsing, social media, quantified self, vendors who know more about you than you realize, machines, associations with…
The Apple Watch is this year’s must-have accessory for the on-the-go gadget hound – and by next year, we figure (given Apple’s pretty decent sales track record and top brand name) it will be the must-have accessory for just about everyone. In keeping with our last couple of announcements on integrating STEKIO with the…
Once again, we’re reinventing how you can manage learner engagement using STEKIO. You might have seen our recent announcement that the STEKIO app can now be accessed on the mobile web – and hand-in-hand with that, you can now get the premium version of STEKIO for your iPhone!
