Via Droid-Life: “In a sitdown with Read Write, Mailbox’s founder Gentry Underwood said that a presence on Android is next on their list of things to do. He wouldn’t specify a time frame, only that it’s on their radar now that the iPad app is out. “ Mailbox flourishes on iOS for two reasons: 1. It’s Gmail-centric. It’s arguably a great Trojan horse for Google on iOS, despite not being made by Google. It gives users a way to prefer Gmail and override iOS’s own agnosticism to the relative merits of different email providers. 2. Its swipe gestures differentiate it from the iOS Mail app. 3. It’s more functional and stable than the Gmail iOS app, plus the latter is not preinstalled and hence doesn’t have much of an advantage or headstart. These advantages do not exist on Android. To wit: 1. The Gmail app for Android not only supports swi

Het gaat daarbij om de vraag wat de consequenties zijn van het verplaatsen van virtuele workloads van de ene machine naar de andere – en met name van en naar machines van een cloud provider. Conclusie: de licenties kunnen in het algemeen remmend werken op een soepele introductie van workload mobiliteit. Voor de Microsoft licenties geldt dat zeer zeker. Bron: viktorious.nl —

SoCoCare Enables Social Customer Service
Much is being written about the impact of social media on customer service, although my research into the agent desktop shows it hasn’t reached the fever pitch that many commentators would have us believe. It is true that the number of consumers using social media and as a consequence the volume of posts are astronomical. But I wonder how many of these posts actually have to do with customer service and how organizations filter out the relevant ones to help them decide on customer service policies and the appropriate action to take. During a recent briefing representatives from SoCoCare told me about its product Social CIM, which supports a socially oriented performance management process whose steps the company terms “listen, filter, tag, prioritize, evaluate, act, respond.” The product has all been developed from the ground up by SoCoCare and runs in the cloud. Social CIM can capture social media posts from a variety of sites such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. It then uses an in
