• Other businesses seeing consistent gains in foot traffic include drug stores, liquor stores and auto shops.
• Over the last 14 days foot traffic has increased significantly at clothing stores and casual dining led largely by increases in the south region. Both categories
remain down almost 60% to pre-COVID levels.

Available to both current and prospective customers, this fully automated solution enables security professionals to evaluate
their organization’s email security defenses by re-launching real-world, unmodified phishing attacks built to bypass secure
email gateways and authentication protocols. Users can now emulate real-world phishing attacks to see weak points in their
existing email security infrastructure in just minutes. Traditional breach and attack simulators almost always apply fictitious
and outdated phishing scenarios. Unfortunately, this leaves organizations further exposed with a false sense of security around
how well existing email security tools and protocols actually work. To address this hidden risk, Emulator automatically
deploys real-world email phishing attacks, including business email compromise, impersonation and spoofing, ransom ware
and other malware, fake login pages and other phishing attack techniques, to help discover security technology gaps in near
real time.

on boarding and preparation in Amazon Redshift, a fast and powerful, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud
available from Amazon Web Services. DataFoundry support for Redshift enables simplified migration of enterprise data from data
warehouses and other sources; the ability for Redshift users to onboard and prepare data using DataFoundry; and the capability for data
engineers, scientists and business users to build rich data models from various sources using Amazon Simple Storage Service and
incrementally synchronize them to Redshift for analytics. Getting data from various enterprise, on-premise and external systems into
Redshift, and keeping the data synchronized, requires complex change data capture and other low-level tooling. Combining and
enriching this data – including with semi-structured sources for analytics in Redshift – is also quite involved. With this new support, Data
Foundry customers can now automate the processes of on boarding, preparing and operational zing data into Redshift, enabling more
analytics use-cases while avoiding the significant underlying complexities of data operations and orchestration.

Smart Communications Unveils Solution to Accelerate PPP Loan Forgiveness
Applications
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
21
Solution Description
Smart Communications TM, the only provider of a customer conversations management platform, announced the launch of a
PPP Loan Forgiveness Application Solution designed to expedite the forgiveness process and reduce friction for applicants
and their lenders. Through digitally transformed forms processes uniquely offered by the company’s SmartIQ product, lenders
can streamline the complexities associated with completing the loan forgiveness application, reducing errors and processing
time. Millions of small businesses received more than $500 billion in loans through the PPP over the last several weeks. While
these low-interest, forgivable loans have been attractive to small businesses, owners have had many questions about how to
ensure they won’t have to repay the loan, and the loan forgiveness application – even more complicated and confusing than
the PPP application form – requires potentially hundreds of calculations to be executed, aggregated, and sorted in order to
create an accurate and complete submission.

Communications Customer Conversations Management Platform
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com

Solution Description
Smart Communications TM, the only provider of a customer conversations management platform, announces the launch of SmartIQTM. Evolving from the
Intelledox product, which Smart Communications acquired in July 2019, SmartIQ is uniquely capable of transforming traditional forms-based processes into
intelligent, conversational user experiences that improve the customer experience while also streamlining internal systems, managing risk and reducing
demand for support services. In the last year, Smart Communications’ ability to provide digital-first, customer-centric interactions throughout the entire
customer lifecycle were significantly enhanced by deeper integration between SmartIQ and SmartCOMMTM, the company’s next-generation customer
communications management offering, which delivers personalized communications via every channel and at tremendous scale. Key to this was making
SmartIQ available via Amazon Web Services, a deployment option first made available to SmartCOMM customers more than two years ago. Combining the
highly scalable CCM power of SmartCOMM with the forms transformation capabilities of SmartIQ has already led to Smart Communications being ranked
as a Leader by multiple analyst firms in 2020. IDC, Aragon, Aspire and Novarica have all recognized the company’s leadership in CCM and Enterprise
Content Management as well as Workflow Content Automation in their most recent reports. In these evaluations, Smart Communications stood out for its
strategic vision, its first-mover advantage as a cloud-based offering and its Conversation Cloud framework, which helps enterprises easily integrate with
other CX-focused technologies throughout their organization in order to produce a more complete view of the customer while also reducing internal silos.
