Users who download the app but never use it are duds and no profit is made. But users who come back time and time again, those are high-value users. They are the ones who help your app make money, by either in-app purchases or through ads served to them. But engagement isn’t simple. Master this part of the mobile marketing journey with a stellar push notification strategy.
There are millions of apps throughout several app stores. This means that now, more than ever, it’s vital to have a plan for not only building an app, but how to keep it alive and successfully gain revenue on it.

As the amount of an organization’s structured and unstructured digital information grows, productivity can be directly tied to workers’ ability to find the right information in a timely and effortless manner. And that data is growing at a tremendous rate. 26% of organizations saw their content management budget grow over 10% in the past year. Organizations need effective enterprise search solutions because when workers can’t find information they need, their productivity is curtailed by having to ask peers and content creators for the resources directly.
Having an enterprise search solution that searches across cloud applications and returns relevant results keeps knowledge workers productive. Organizations with modern enterprise search solutions are 50% more likely to enjoy double digit revenue growth than those that don’t. This ebook provides 4 easy steps to help when considering to invest in an enterprise search solution.
A Look at the Five-Year Cost Comparisons for Technology Infrastructure Deployment
Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a major consideration for organizations evaluating the pros and cons of cloud-based contact center infrastructure deployment versus an on-premise solution. According to this report, for a 50-seat contact center the average cloud platform costs approximately $150,000 less in year 1 and up to $300,000 by year 5.

The contact center as a service (CCaaS) market in North America is growing rapidly. CCaaS or cloud contact center solutions offer functions and capabilities that are similar to those required to operate call and contact centers as on-premises contact center infrastructure (CCI), except that they are delivered as a service and paid for on a monthly subscription model.

Is Your Database Blocking You from True DevOps Success?
Traditional database change management is complex, adding risk and uncertainty to the software release process and making it hard for development and operations teams to collaborate effectively. No wonder the database is often seen as a blocker to DevOps success.
This whitepaper explains how you can overcome this by extending DevOps practices to the database. You’ll gain consistency across your applications and databases, increase efficiency across your teams and remove that last bottleneck.
Solid-state arrays have matured beyond performance-oriented workloads, and the benefits are now compelling for primary storage plus old and new unexpected workloads. This Magic Quadrant will help IT leaders better understand SSA vendors' positioning in the market. Gain insights into the rapidly evolving market for solid-state arrays with the 2017 Gartner report.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud is a proven route to help organizations achieve rapid scalability, reduced time-to-market, and cost-effectiveness in their IT infrastructure. These benefits are delivered, in part, by automation, greater ease-of-use, and simplified management.
Many are challenged, however, with legacy network infrastructure and management solutions, as the complexity of managing dynamic workloads, as well as inconsistency in performance and security, can impair many of the benefits AWS provides. SD-WAN helps organizations overcome this challenge by providing automation and simplified management for cloud networking. This whitepaper looks at how Riverbed SD-WAN can help organizations improve performance, agility, and security in their cloud-centric network.
Today’s WANs (wide area networks) represent up to 25% of support costs for a typical end-user environment—yet fail to deliver the application performance and business agility required of digital business. The emergence of software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) solutions is changing all that.

Today, less than 5% of network operations teams are sufficiently skilled to realize the value possible from network analytics and automation solutions. This will improve over the next three years, but not much—by 2020, only 30% of network operations teams will be able to fully realize the benefits of these tools.

The network plays a fundamental role in enabling the shift to digital. But it simply cannot fulfill this function while it is hardware-bound and hard-coded.
The network must become cloudlike to enable delivery of dynamic, rich digital services quickly and easily. This means shifting away from old approaches that require configuration of individual boxes to an approach that is software-defined, based on policy and orchestration. It’s time for SD-WAN.
