Support Excellence as a Differentiator for Software Providers
In the world of SaaS, client acquisition begins with two things: an exceptional product, and an efficient sales team. But it doesn’t end there: excellent after-sales support is a strategic success factor. According to research, customer loyalty and satisfaction are rated on after-sales care as much as the customer’s experience with the product itself. As such, the main goal of the customer support team is customer success, which takes a long-term view of the customer experience beyond a single touchpoint, and considers the outcomes the customer is able to achieve using the product. According to Thabo Monama, a Support Manager at CURA Software Solutions, when your product is software, your knowledge base and self-service infrastructure are pivotal factors in the customer experience. “You have to invest in a culture of service, software architecture ready to handle multi-tenant implementation and end-user support. Successful companies not only have great software but also have customer support built into their core processes. The extent to which customers can help themselves when they experience a software glitch or are simply confused factors into whether they renew their yearlong subscription or take their business elsewhere.” Monama believes that there are three types of potential software providers can tap into to ensure corporate success through service excellence: 1. Differentiation Potential Sooner or later, competitors can copy technical characteristics and as a consequence, products are becoming more substitutable, creating price pressure and less customer loyalty. However, companies can continuously distinguish themselves from their competition through service excellence, a customer-oriented service that is much harder to replicate. 2. Customer Loyalty Potential During the operating life of a client’s engagement with software, after-sales service creates numerous critical touch points for customer interaction. Many contact points within …
Navigate ‘Troublesome 2019’ With Smart Mobile Choices
What started out as ‘twenty mineteen’ is threatening to morph into ‘troublesome 2019’ for South Africa’s C-suite as the country’s Statistician-General reports the local economy contracted 3.2% in the first quarter. That’s according to IMImobile SA (Pty) Ltd Chief Creative & Operations Officer, Devon Meerholz. He says weathering the worst quarterly GDP drop since 2009 will depend on organisations’ Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) making “a series of exceedingly smart marketing choices over the next six months that are rooted in proven mobile technology.” “Three percent contractions are not times for tinkering with what works,” says Meerholz. Solid facts matter in tough economic times. The facts are that half of world Internet usage takes place on mobile and Millennials now spend more time looking at their mobile screens than their TV screens. In fact, Millennials watch more YouTube that traditional TV. Meerholz provides seven reasons why mobile works in times of negative growth: Consumers themselves are under pressure and mobile-based purchases with free delivery options are cost-effective ways to shop. Consumers in recessions often juggle multiple balls to survive and mobile offers the convenience they need. Budget-savvy consumers enjoy comparing different providers of goods and services on their mobiles, and they’re especially keen on cost comparison apps. Mobile marketing lends itself very well to couponing and other giveaway tactics. Economic contractions often see the emergence of new, grassroots businesses. Mobile marketing really comes into its own at the community level because local small business owners can cost-effectively forge deep relationships using mobile. For CMOs, mobile campaigns offer unparalleled rich reporting that can easily feed into decision-making for rapid tweaking of campaigns in a cost-effective way. CMOs also appreciate the fact that wastage is very low in mobile campaigning because it offers far …

Ethereum 2.0 – Technology which you can trust
As we know there are three challenges in the blockchain. i.e Scalability Decentralization Security Right now, ethereum working is based on proof of work. The most advantage of PoW is more secure, more decentralized but it is the rising cost of energy it takes to maintain network security. The Bitcoin blockchain requires consequence power, greater than the power output of many nations, to remain secure and operate in-line with its mission. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and other key network developers noticed this problem and determined PoS is a viable alternative to this energy consumption, hence ethereum move from PoW to PoS. Even though from PoW to PoS they will not hit all these three challenges, maybe it is most scalable but less decentralize or less secure. So how that approach hit these three goals. For that, they are using etherum 2.0 concept. Here is a description of basic ethereum upgrade network Proof-of-Stake (PoS) How Ethereum is mined? becon and Casper refer solutions for switching. This addresses how new coins are created and how the system is secured. Sharding In general divide a large database into smaller having the same general concept with more manageable parts, for the Ethereum network. This addresses issues of transaction speed and scalability and stops one app from slow down the network. EWASM It allows executing code faster among other things. It enlarges the capabilities and the coding option for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Plasma It is an extra layer that sits on top of the network that can handle huge amounts of transactions. It is the version of ethereum Bitcoin’s Lightning Network. Raiden It is off chain scaling solution, like Plasma. Thus, this is a solution for Ethereum to the Lightning Network. Serenity Ethereum’s Serenity upgrade will bring Proof of Stake, Sharding, a new virtual machine (eWASM) and more. It’s important to understand that this upgrade will not take place at a single point in time – instead, …
