Most businesses make use of statistics to see what customers are doing, what customers might do and what's working for customers versus what isn't. But if you only ever see the statistical data at a glance and they aren't adding up, it could be that the data you're relying on is misleading you.  Data isn't always as reliable as we need it to be.  Here's how to know when business data or statistics are misleading – and why they could be throwing you off.  Spotting Lying Data  If the statistical data or reports you're seeing aren't matching up with what the rest of your business says in terms of returns or customers, it's likely ...

How To Make Your Products Safer And More Accessible

By Terrance Palmer posted 10-01-2019
Be the first person to like this.
In any country, it is paramount to ensure that products are safe for consumers to use and/or ingest. In each region, a set of laws guides the production and distribution of goods. In each country, a regulatory framework is in place to regulate businesses that provide goods to clients.   Each business is obligated to ensure that its products are both safe and accessible.

Secure Browsing Solutions: Which One is Right for Your Company

By Ilan Paretsky posted 08-20-2019
Be the first person to like this.
Your firewall, antivirus, and log management tools are no longer enough to keep you safe. As of 2018, 85% of all companies allowed users to bring in their own devices for work. That means that they’re potentially doing work on devices with security solutions that you haven’t personally verified. In addition, seven out of ten employees work remotely at least once a week. In other words, they’re working in places that aren’t protected by your firewall – or any firewall at all, for that matter. When your employees work remotely using devices that they choose themselves, they may be more productive – but they’re certainly more vulnerable to attackers. ...

Operating an eCommerce business can be very rewarding, but building it can be pretty challenging. Product development, advertising, servicing customer needs; there’s a lot that needs to be attended to. While all of these elements are important, there’s one that may trump them all: order fulfillment ; after all, if you need to deliver the products your customers ordered in a timely manner – and make sure the right products are being delivered – otherwise all of the development and marketing you’ve invested in will be for naught, and you certainly won’t be able to meet the needs of your shoppers.  The bottom line is this: effective order fulfilment can ...

Your Guide to Corporate Real Estate

Corporate real estate can be commercial, retail, industrial or even residential. The purpose of corporate real estate assets is to meet the financial, functional and future flexibility needs of a business. Corporate real estate leaders today have to go beyond the traditional role which has been primarily financial. Given that real estate is usually one of the largest costs for an organization, the simplistic view that looks at reducing costs may seem like a solid approach. But a more strategic view takes into account other factors, such as the revenue-boosting potential of real estate. Determine goals What do you want to accomplish by buying corporate ...
