Bandwidth. Speed. Throughput. These terms are not interchangeable. They are
interrelated concepts in data networking that help measure capacity, the time
it takes to get from one point to the next and the actual amount of data
you’re receiving, respectively.
When you buy an Internet connection from Spectrum Enterprise, you’re buying
a pipe between your office and the Internet with a set capacity, whether it is
25 Mbps, 10 Gbps, or any increment in between. However, the bandwidth we
provide does not tell the whole story; it is the throughput of the entire system
that matters. Throughput is affected by obstacles, overhead and latency,
meaning the throughput of the system will never equal the bandwidth of your
Internet connection.
The good news is that an Internet connection from Spectrum Enterprise is
engineered to ensure you receive the capacity you purchase; we proactively
monitor your bandwidth to ensure problems are dealt with promptly, and
we are your advocates across the Internet w

DevOps ist nicht mehr topaktuell. Auch Continuous Delivery oder sogar das „Shift-Left“-Paradigma ist nicht mehr als innovativ zu bezeichnen.
Dieses White Paper zeigt auf, wie Sie DevOps-Tools und -Verfahren kundenorientiert einsetzen können, um einen geschäftlichen Nutzen zu erzielen. Dabei wird auf die aktuellen Herausforderungen für Unternehmen eingegangen, wenn sie versuchen, durch DevOps-Innovationen mehr als nur technische Vorteile zu realisieren. Zudem werden die Lücken aufgezeigt, die die Unternehmen in den Continuous Delivery-Ketten schließen müssen, um erfolgreich zu sein. Schließlich befasst sich dieses White Paper auch damit, wie die Themen Anwendereinbindung und Customer Experience in allen Phasen der Bereitstellungspipeline als wichtige Überlegung einbezogen werden.
DevOps non è più una metodologia all'avanguardia, né lo sono la continuous delivery o l'approccio shift-left.
Queste prassi e principi sono stati ormai adottati dalle aziende, almeno in una certa misura e, anche se in molti casi la transizione è risultata incompleta, praticamente tutte le aziende conoscono e si sforzano di implementare i workflow e le strutture organizzative DevOps.
Questo white paper spiega come utilizzare gli strumenti e le prassi DevOps in un'ottica incentrata sul cliente allo scopo di creare valore di business. Illustra le sfide che la maggior parte delle aziende deve affrontare per estendere le innovazioni DevOps al di là dell'ambito tecnico, identifica le lacune da colmare all'interno delle catene di continuous delivery per superare tali sfide e spiega come mettere il coinvolgimento degli utenti e la customer experience al centro di tutte le fasi della pipeline di delivery.

We focused on core features, including modeling, deploying, managing, governing, and visualizing pipelines, and on each vendor’s ability to match a strategy to these features. this report helps infrastructure and operations (I&o) professionals make the right choice when looking for CDRA solutions for their development and operations (Devops) automation.

One of the agency biggest challenges is juggling multiple projects across departments while retaining complete visibility into finances, pipelines and resources management. Most agencies use multiple systems to handle each of these processes. According to The Drum Lab rats, to have “one integrated and user-friendly connected system would be the ideal solution.”
Five leading agencies tested the WorkBook Agency Management system in a recent Drums Labs workshop. Testers quickly discovered the wealth of functionality, the high level of usability and the full integration that WorkBook provides to agency businesses.
For sales teams to be successful in the age of the customer, they need tools that help them close more deals, faster. Some CRM tools are underused because they’re not geared to helping reps sell in the modern era. This may be because they’re complicated to use; because they’re isolated from the apps your reps use every day; or because they don’t give reps the information they need.
Today, sales automation is not (just) about managing accounts, contacts, and activities. It’s about gaining insight that provides a competitive edge, having access to predictive information, being able to collaborate in real time, creating quotes in front of the customer, updating forecasts. All at any time, from any place, using mobile devices—all helping to drive sales and pipeline.
It’s not a pipe dream. Here’s how marketers can connect with customers and prospects wherever they are, with Intelligent Orchestration of data, across marketing technologies and touchpoints. These customer journeys are not visions for 2020, but attainable right now - across the digital world, and the real world: and everywhere in-between.
