An introduction to eCommerce Platforms for non-technical people. Ben explains some of the key trends in the eCommerce platform and online retail space.
By 2017, Southern Fried Supernova will be Atlanta’s global signature event, featuring the best of the arts, technology, and startups. This vision shouldn’t surprise anyone. We’re just building on Atlanta’s strengths and a long history of being bold. When you consider this history and the five-year vision, our 2013 goals are quite humble: 1) Connect the Awesomeness and 2) Galvanize a Commitment for the Future.
What started as a collaboration space in April 2012 has grown into a groundswell of people committed to fueling the next great wave of companies. By the beginning of 2013, this movement needed an organizational structure to help drive greater awareness, diverse collaboration, and peer-to-peer education. Thus, Hypepotamus, Inc., was born. Today, we produce relevant media content, organize compelling events, and provide free access to a collaboration space in The Biltmore. Here is an overview of the first six months of the impact we've made and who's helped us along the way.

How Last Mile Delivery Affects Supply Chain, E-tailing & Order FulfillmentAngela Carver
Perfecting last mile delivery has had a significant impact on the supply chain, how retailers develop their e-commerce sites and how order fulfillment is completed. Essentially, every part of the consumer experience has been adapted to meet changing expectations due to omni-channel retailing. Let’s explore how each aspect has been affected.
The manual processes of yesterday have been replaced with the automated data collection technology of tomorrow. Field service staff are now equipped with mobile ADC devices that allow them to view changes to deliveries and routes and update order status’. Replacing paper-based processes has improved visibility within the supply chain and improved the overall customer experience during the last mile. These ADC devices are also being used in fulfillment centers to increase the efficiency of order processing. Supply chain operators have realized that if orders are processed faster they can reach the end customer faster.
Retailers have also put a new focus on the user-friendliness of their e-commerce websites. Studies show that easy-to-navigate shopping carts lead to larger and more frequent online purchases. Optimizing these sites can lead to revenue growth. Online sale increases will force transportation providers to adapt to handle last mile delivery volume influx.
To handle these increases and make last mile delivery more effective, supply chain operators are expanding distribution networks by adding smaller scale e-fulfillment DCs on the edge of urban areas. This encourages swift delivery of online and in-store orders. Another way retailers are doing this is with the addition of new courier services. In some of these densely populated areas small parcel delivery is done by bicycle or personal vehicle delivery to avoid traffic congestion.
Increases in technology adoption can also be attributed to last mile logistics requirements. Retailers and their supply chain partners are implementing distributed order management solutions to streamline order fulfillment operations. This is done through custom workflow rules used to automate everyday processes. Supply chain service providers are also utilizing delivery window planning solutions to reduce costs associated to redelivery. And to make the most of their transportation dollars shippers are implementing route optimization and transportation scheduling solutions.

The research includes:
1. Description of basic and additional order fulfillment services
2. Pros and cons of a third-party order fulfillment
3. Description of the consumer of order fulfillment services - who they are and what they want
4. Market Dynamics - incentives and disincentives, trends
5. The structure of the market, the players classification
6. Profiles of the order fulfillment operators
7. Cases with market participants
The main results
- The market is young, unformed and has no universal IT-systems, billing, work rules and interaction with customers. Competition is weak, just beginning to grow.
- New order fulfillment market players come from neighboring niches. Among them are the courier companies, 3PL-operators, online stores.
- While there are 40 000 online-shops in RuNet the market has only 30+ companies order fulfillment operators.
- Key customers of order fulfillment services: online shops (current and upcoming online) and retail suppliers without online foreign companies who want to the Russian market ecommerce.

Banks won’t succeed if they don’t put the desires of their customers above all else. The current state of the banking industry falls short of expectations for both banks and their customers, yet the market has become increasingly competitive. Whilst the reasons for this vary, falling behind will most likely lead to failure.
Staying relevant is about so much more than just bringing nice interfaces to the end customer. An integrated approach is vital, one that spans the entire user experience and a host of back-end systems and procedures. This is about bringing everything together to create a smart framework that connects all the parts of the bank to optimize the customer experience. That framework is Customer OS and its four pillars are open banking, modular banking, omni-channel banking and smart banking.
An open API strategy and the clever use of data will drive the open and modular banking components. Segmented client experiences across all channels and embracing new technologies will power omni-channel and smart banking.

2018 SITEC EC CLASS - Introduction to E-Commerce 103: Understanding O2O by Ad...sitecmy
Online-to-Offline Commerce is a business strategy that draws potential customers from online channels to make purchases in physical stores. Online-to-offline commerce, or O2O, identifies customers in the online space, such as through emails and internet advertising, and then uses a variety of tools and approaches to entice the customer to leave the online space. This type of strategy incorporates techniques used in online marketing with those used in brick-and-mortar marketing. O2O is related to (but not the same as) the concepts of "clicks-to-bricks" or "click and mortar."

If you're going to make an impact, you might as well seek to make it as large as possible. That was our thinking back in early January when we formulated the concept known as Startup Rally. It all started when we asked ourselves, "What does the Atlanta tech community look like?" One part startup exhibition, one part summer internship fair, and one part launch of Startup Georgia, Startup Rally gave 125 startups the chance to showcase their venture under the same roof during the same afternoon. Over 1,000 people came through the Georgian Ballroom at The Biltmore on a beautiful February 18 day - including Jermaine Dupri and a number of local news outlets. But what impact did it have on the startups? We asked those who participated to share their answers.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
