Solution Description
Digital experience company Acquia announced major updates to the Acquia Open Digital Experience Platform (DXP) at Acquia Engage. The Acquia Open DXP
is powered by Acquia Marketing Cloud and Acquia Drupal Cloud, a unified solution for multi-experience customer journeys across all modes of customer
interaction. New enhancements will empower developers to innovate their digital experiences faster and help marketers make smarter, data-driven decisions across
campaigns. For developers, the latest enhancements to Drupal Cloud focus on decreasing the time to build, design, and run sites and applications. Following the
successful launch of Drupal 9 in June, the new Acquia Migrate Accelerate tool significantly reduces the effort tied to a transition from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9.
Currently in beta, the tool reduces time to value for Drupal 9 by providing a user-friendly interface to streamline analysis and planning, DevOps, data imports, and
content auditing for migrations. Once organizations are migrated, the new Acquia Cloud IDE makes it faster than ever to build Drupal sites and applications, with
one-click access to a cloud-hosted development and testing environment. Acquia Cloud IDE integrates with existing Acquia command-line and automated build
tools for Drupal, making it faster and easier for developers to build and test their code – even in remote or hybrid work setups. Finally, Acquia CMS, currently in
beta, provides a trusted, secure and turnkey distribution of Drupal 9. This increases time to value from months to days for best-practice implementations, and
eliminates up to 80% of setup and update costs. Also in the Drupal Cloud family, Site Studio helps marketers reduce their time-to-publish with drag-and-drop
experience creation and visual assembly of content, layout, and designs.

CallTrackingMetrics, a leading provider of call tracking and contact center software, announces a brand new direct integration with Google Ads. The Google
Ads Direct Connect integration communicates directly with the Google Ads API in order to allow conversion data to flow between the two platforms.
Marketers can now seamlessly optimize campaigns around conversions, such as calls, form fills, sales, and appointments, within one platform. With this
direct integration, CallTrackingMetrics is also one of the only providers in the space with the ability to directly influence conversions for click-to-call and
click-to-landing pages in Google Ads. Triggers in CallTrackingMetrics will automate sending conversion data into Google Ads. Customers can determine
what actions they want to count as a conversion, whether that’s a phone call that mentions a specific keyword or lasts over two minutes, or a text message or
form fill from a customer. They can also map any conversion actions they already have configured inside of Google Ads into CallTrackingMetrics. Agencies
managing multiple client sub-accounts can instantly link those to matching Ads accounts in one click, making set up seamless. The integration also introduces
new diagnostic reports to isolate any pages that aren’t fully optimized for call tracking, and produces high-level metrics around cost per call and call through
rate by landing page.

CallTrackingMetrics Adds New Live Chat Product to Unified Communications Suite
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
18
Solution Description
CallTrackingMetrics, a leading provider of call tracking and contact center software, announces the launch of a new live chat product. With chat becoming the preferred
communication method for many consumers, CallTrackingMetrics’ chat enables businesses to gather essential marketing attribution data for all of their communication
channels within one platform and drive higher satisfaction for their customer base. Similar to how businesses use CallTrackingMetrics to track calls, texts, or form submissions,
they will now be able to attribute live chat conversations back to unique advertising channels or campaigns to know which inspire customer contact and optimize their marketing
spend accordingly. Businesses can consolidate their software spend and reduce reliance on third-party tools by unifying all of their communication channels, including calls,
texts, forms, and now chats, within one platform. Agents will be able to manage multiple service touchpoints within one dashboard, thereby eliminating the need to switch tools
or even website pages to handle different support inquiries and provide faster service to customers. They will have full visibility into visitor and campaign data and any history
of past exchanges with the customer in order to further personalize the interaction. Furthermore, businesses can manage chat requests in line with their unique routing
customizations to drive efficiency for their support and sales teams and get the customer to the right agent the first time. Additional customizations include the ability to
customize their chat widget with their own colors, create individual and team canned responses, share files in chats, and set up custom triggers based on chats to automate
internal actions across teams within an organization.

Conversica Announces Virtual Assistant-Powered Website Chat for Free, Disrupting
the Chatbot Market
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
19
Solution Description
Conversica, Inc., the leader in Intelligent Virtual Assistants helping organizations attract, acquire and grow customers at scale, announced its disruption of traditional website
chat offerings by delivering AI-powered human-like, two-way conversations over chat for free via its Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVAs). Unlike traditional website chat
offerings which leave customers frustrated, Conversica IVAs can engage with website visitors and quickly connect them to the information they seek via chat, use email and
SMS to nurture them through a qualification process and pass hot qualified opportunities to customer-facing teams—all while delivering a personalized experience that
digital-natives now demand across multiple channels. As businesses become more digitally enabled, a greater burden is placed on customer-facing teams to engage with a higher
volume of prospects and customers across many more channels. Delivering a personalized touch to every prospective buyer or customer is simply not possible for
resource-strapped customer-facing teams. In response, many companies turn to simple chatbots to answer commonly asked questions and quickly connect website visitors to
live agents. Unfortunately, as their digital volume grows, history shows that teams quickly collapse under the pressure to respond. Simple chatbots can only deliver canned
responses to predetermined questions that have taken months to be stood up by internal teams, and due to high volumes coupled with resource-constrained customer-facing
teams, it is no longer feasible to rely on having a human representative available on demand. Using Conversica’s IVAs via website chat allows customers and prospects to start
on one channel and easily move to another channel to have a deeper level of engagement with a product or service. From the very first touch, IVAs stay with that prospect or
customer across their entire customer journey and realize instantaneous time-to-value for organizations. Whether teams are trying to drive people to marketing events, find
sales-ready leads faster, schedule an account review, identify renewal or expansion opportunities, or even work through invoicing and payment logistics, they can engage with
prospective buyers or existing customers via website chat and easily transition to a more detailed conversation over email, from email to text, and eventually over every possible
digital touch point—all without losing any moment of that conversation or the context.

DigiCert Secure Software Manager Modernizes PKI Automation to Enable Frictionless
Secure Code Signing, Private Key Management
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
21
Solution Description
DigiCert, Inc., the world’s leading provider of TLS/SSL, IoT and PKI solutions, introduced Secure Software Manager, a modern way to automate and manage PKI security across
CI/CD pipelines. Secure Software Manager makes it easy for enterprises to integrate secure key management for code signing into their development processes while delegating
cryptographic operations, signing activities and management in a controlled and auditable way. The drive for agility leaves the product engineering organizations exposed to internal
threats and hackers. Stolen code signing certificates and their associated keys have led to many high-profile attacks, where these keys have been used to sign malware and commit
fraud. DevOps teams need signing solutions that fit within their workflows and make signing keys easily accessible when pushing code, but many orchestration tools do not include
key protection. Secure Software Manager removes the burden on engineers for cryptographic asset protection, enabling them to sign with confidence and freeing them to do what they
do best: develop and deploy software quickly and efficiently. It provides:
• command line tools that easily integrate with CI/CD systems
• automatic signing of packages, binaries and containers on every merge to master when authorized
• RESTful APIs for custom integrations
• simultaneous signing of Docker containers and software code, adding trust to every step of process
Using Secure Software Manager reduces the risk of key theft and misuse by strengthening security around key accessibility and storage. Hash signing lets developers protect
intellectual property, as no files are uploaded to the cloud.

Domo Launches Interactive Election Tracker to Make Polling Data Accessible and Consumable
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
22
Solution Description
Domo announced the launch of the Domo Election Tracker, a free, interactive resource with polling data and other relevant data sources on this year’s presidential election.
Following Domo’s launch of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Global Tracker, the Election Tracker is yet another example of Domo’s mission to encourage curiosity around data
and its sources. The Election Tracker was borne from the curiosity of Domo’s public insights team – the team responsible for the Coronavirus Global Tracker – as they explored
data and insights relative to the 2020 election. Two dominant questions arose from this exploration: How can the public better understand the relationship of current polling to
that of polling at the same point in the 2016 cycle – given the polling in 2016 often differed from the final result; and could Domo share these polling insights alongside other
core coronavirus tracker data? As an award-winning data platform for its ease-of-use, powerful data engine and interactive visualizations, Domo is built to allow users to quickly
ingest new data and combine with existing data. The Domo public insights team quickly pulled in 2020 and 2016 presidential polling data, alongside political campaign
contributions and blended those data sources with existing coronavirus data. The team leveraged Domo’s internal ETL tools, interactive visualizations and custom-built apps to
create the Election Tracker. This free resource uses the Domo platform to help anyone see and understand data around this year’s presidential election, and also enables users
to embed any of the visualizations in their own websites or operations. In addition, the Election Tracker includes a Data Explorer feature, which enables users to filter to a
specific state or day, sort the data and export the metrics behind the interactive visualizations. Users can also drill down to view state-level details of campaign contributions,
unemployment claims and COVID-19 metrics such as mortality and new cases.

GoSpotCheck, the software company reimagining how tomorrow’s workforce works, announced that it has integrated Looker, the business intelligence (BI) and analytics platform from Google Cloud,
to create a platform for building customized data experiences that accelerate business outcomes for its customers. GoSpotCheck (GSC) is a mobile task management platform that connects frontline
workers with corporate goals and directives, creates a shared view of the field, and helps leaders make better decisions, faster. By deploying Looker, GSC was able to create 225 customized data
experiences that seamlessly fit into existing workflows to deliver real-time data at the point of need, and reduce the overall time needed to build reports by 70%. GSC delivers insights 95% faster to
hundreds of its top enterprise customers worldwide, including Dole, Fruit of the Loom, Save A Lot, and Under Armour. GSC’s consumer goods customers are leveraging Looker to run corporate
campaign tracking, merchandising, trade programs, and field sales optimization. Clothing brands, including Fruit of the Loom, use the platform to visualize their market positions, display compliance
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and influence product placement within large retailers during key selling seasons such as back to school. Additionally, Fruit of the Loom uses data insights to
identify trends and opportunities when it comes to color, material, and more — helping drive research and development, business strategy, and decision-making. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began,
a growing number of customers are using the GSC platform to track sanitation efforts at schools, hospitals, entertainment venues, and offices, as they plan for re-opening. For example, retail customer
Save A Lot is managing daily operational checklists, food safety, and innovative training initiatives, along with tracking new processes implemented during COVID-19 for health and safety. To meet
these customer needs, GSC leveraged Looker to help Save a Lot create interactive dashboards that track, visualize, and share inspection outcomes across locations to ensure safety regulations are met.
The GSC platform was originally created to support processes that were primarily done by distributed teams using pen and paper, email, or internally-developed apps. As companies move to implement
digital transformation strategies, they are increasingly turning to GSC for the ability to deliver highly structured data back to corporate headquarters. The implementation of Looker allowed GSC to
solve three of its biggest technical challenges to operate effectively — speed, scale, and customization of data. With Looker, GSC customers now have access to powerful operational insights through
dashboards that are configured to provide the full data story in real-time.

and take a selfie to check liveness and face comparison – the NFC chip with Mitek’s technology do the rest. For users, this solution offers simplicity and speed, with no difficult
onboarding hoops to jump through. For organizations, it reduces abandonment rates and improves conversion rates all in compliance with international regulations. This is
particularly critical to reduce the risk of synthetic identity fraud – the amalgamation of real and falsified information to create fake identities – the fastest growing type of
financial fraud, according to McKinsey. Those with ID documents not yet supported by NFC protocols are seamlessly guided through Mitek’s banking grade document capture,
authentication, face comparison and liveness detection, with human experts on standby for complex cases.

Neo4j Announces First Graph Machine Learning for the Enterprise
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
36
Solution Description
Neo4j®, the leader in graph technology, announced the latest version of Neo4j for Graph Data Science™, a breakthrough that democratizes advanced graph-based machine
learning (ML) techniques by leveraging deep learning and graph convolutional neural networks. Until now, few companies outside of Google and Facebook have had the AI
foresight and resources to leverage graph embeddings. This powerful and innovative technique calculates the shape of the surrounding network for each piece of data inside of
a graph, enabling far better machine learning predictions. Neo4j for Graph Data Science version 1.4 democratizes these innovations to upend the way enterprises make
predictions in diverse scenarios from fraud detection to tracking customer or patient journey, to drug discovery and knowledge graph completion. Neo4j for Graph Data Science
version 1.4 is the first and only graph-native machine learning functionality commercially available for enterprises. The ability to learn generalized, predictive features from
data is significant because organizations don’t always know how to represent connected data for use in machine learning models. The latest Neo4j version includes graph
embedding algorithms that learn the structure of a user’s graph, rather than relying on predetermined formulas to calculate specific features like centrality scores. Knowledge
graph completion provides value across domains, including identifying new associations between genes and diseases, the discovery of new drugs and predicting links between
customers and products for better recommendations. From queries to support domain experts in uncovering what they know, to patterns to understand trends, to calculating
high-value features to train ML models, knowledge graph completion isn’t possible without graph technology.

Solution Description
Opera is releasing new versions of its Android and desktop browsers. The release of the newest browsers is happening in parallel to celebrate the completely
redesigned sync capabilities between the browsers. Opera for Android is reaching version 60 and Opera for desktop version 71. The new version of Opera’s
flagship browser for Android is shipping with a completely redesigned Sync feature that uses a straight-forward QR-code scan to establish a seamless connection
between Opera on an Android device and the Opera desktop browser on Windows, MacOS or Linux. The Opera browser for Android also comes with the popular
Flow feature known from Opera Touch, and the new Suggested Sites feature on the homepage. Meanwhile, the newest Opera desktop browser comes with the
useful Easy Files feature. When attaching files in the Opera browser, Easy Files presents the users’ most recently downloaded files in a visual form, helping them
select the desired files quickly, without having to search through folders or to remember the files’ names. In the new version of the Opera browser for Android,
Opera removes many of the traditional hurdles associated with syncing devices: the need to remember various lengthy logins and passwords. Users can now simply
navigate to opera.com/connect on their computer or tablet and scan the QR code displayed there with the QR-code reader in Opera for Android, located directly in
the search bar. After that step is completed, the Sync feature will synchronize all their passwords, bookmarks, speed dials, typed browsing history and open tabs,
as well as the newly-integrated Flow feature across devices.

Perforce Software, a provider of solutions to enterprise teams requiring productivity, visibility, and scale along the development lifecycle, announced the launch of Methodics
IPLM 3.0. Methodics IPLM 3.0 is the next evolution of the Methodics IP lifecycle management platform. Methodics was acquired by Perforce earlier this year. The latest
version, Methodics IPLM 3.0, solves complex semiconductor development challenges by building on its industry leading traceability platform for IP and system on chip (SoC)
development. The new platform will help companies manage the planning process of SoCs by allowing what-if analysis of early design prototypes and automating the delivery
of an IP bill of materials (BoM) to development teams. Methodics IPLM also adds new security solutions to help companies deal with the challenges of sharing IP and
addressing the security concerns around global IP leakage, which often costs companies many millions of dollars. The new version of Methodics IPLM goes further than any
other platform to manage the BoM of design assets in a SoC. With Methodics IPLM 3.0, this capability is now extended to the planning phase of SoC design, allowing for true
what-if analysis of build vs. buy vs. reuse of IP, and insight into the implications on design cost and product schedule. Additional enhancements to Methodics IPLM include
improved IP analytics and performance improvements. Building on the vast metadata management layer of the IP lifecycle management platform, Methodics IPLM will allow
companies to perform complex analytics such as IP cost modeling, functional safety analysis, and external threat analysis of IP functionality. Also included in the latest version
of the platform are improved performance for IP sharing and distribution throughout globally distributed development teams, and the introduction of custom defined objects to

Qualtrics Announces Delighted AI, a Machine Learning Engine to Automate Every Step of the Customer
Feedback Process
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
43
Solution Description
Qualtrics, the leader in customer experience and creator of the experience management category, announced Delighted AI, an artificial intelligence and machine learning engine
built directly into Delighted’s customer experience platform. Delighted, a Qualtrics company, developed its AI technology to intelligently automate every aspect of the customer
feedback process, from scheduling to analysis and reporting, so that companies can focus on closing feedback loops faster than ever. Delighted AI is complementary to
Qualtrics’ existing Text iQ™ enterprise technology for CustomerXM™, optimized for Delighted customers. The most successful customer experience programs are no longer
measurement or metrics-based. Over the past few months, Net Promoter Scores have significantly declined in response to COVID-19, exposing customer experience gaps that
companies have failed to address or identify. The companies who have emerged as customer experience leaders in the crisis have continuously listened to their customers, and
more importantly, responded quickly to their preferences and expectations. Delighted AI was created based on semantics and themes in the millions of customer feedback
responses that Delighted and its customers have analyzed over several years to drive customer experience success. Acquired by Qualtrics in 2018, Delighted is one of the fastest
and easiest ways to take action on customer feedback, which enables innovative brands and organizations of any size to quickly implement a customer experience program
across every channel.

Qualtrics Introduces Comprehensive Healthcare Solution for Community Hospitals
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
44
Solution Description
Qualtrics, the leader in customer experience and creator of the experience management (XM) category, announced a comprehensive healthcare solution for community
hospitals. Trusted by over 400 hospitals and health systems, Qualtrics’ healthcare solution delivers unmatched value by fulfilling HCAHPS requirements in addition to
providing real-time patient, employee, and community experience programs on a unified platform. In addition, Qualtrics enables community hospitals to consolidate their
existing programs into one that results in improved care delivery, increased employee engagement, enhanced community trust, and cost savings. Community hospitals
are under increasing pressure to constrain or reallocate their resources and budgets, which often results in cutting technology investments. However, with over 5,000
community hospitals in the U.S. responsible for nearly 800,000 beds, it is critical for hospital administrators to understand the key drivers that affect patient and employee
experiences – especially as aspects of healthcare transition to digital channels in response to COVID-19.
Qualtrics’ healthcare suite is the technology platform best positioned for community hospitals to:
• Comply with HCAHPS requirements and view HCAHPS results.
• Capture a consolidated view of patient and employee feedback in real-time and set up automated workflows and reporting for the right teams to close experience gaps
quickly.
• Identify key drivers and friction points that most significantly impact patient, employee, and community experiences to focus on improvement efforts.
• Increase patient and employee loyalty by activating listening posts across every point in their respective journeys to encourage engagement.
• Build a trusted brand that advances the mission and vision of the community hospital.

Qualtrics Announces a Breakthrough End-to-End Automated Solution for Vaccine Management + Citizen
Experience
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
45
Solution Description
Qualtrics, the leader in customer experience and creator of the experience management (XM) category, announced it is releasing a vaccine management solution to help
governments deliver the COVID-19 vaccine safely and efficiently to their communities. This will allow economies to reopen, individuals to get back to work, and
residents to resume everyday activities. The Qualtrics Vaccine Management + Citizen Experience solution is an end-to-end, automated workflow that communities can
quickly deploy to: 1) help prioritize residents to receive the vaccine, 2) schedule appointments and follow-up, 3) provide a record of vaccination after the vaccine has
been administered, and 4) continually monitor the patient experience at every step in the vaccine administration process. A recent Qualtrics study found that less than
60% of respondents say they have confidence in their state government to deliver the COVID-19 vaccine to their community. Over 40% of people currently say they are
unsure or do not plan on getting the vaccine. The Qualtrics vaccine solution will help governments understand resident sentiment around the vaccine and what actions
they can take to help people feel confident and safe about the distribution and administration of the vaccine. (Study results can be found here). In contrast to other vaccine
solutions, Qualtrics’ Vaccine Management + Citizen Experience automates and streamlines vaccine operations on a single platform and integrates directly into existing
health systems. The agility of the Qualtrics XM Platform™ allows government officials to customize their programs––without the need for professional services––to
quickly adapt to new or additional vaccines and apply updated CDC guidance and state or federal-level requirements. Additionally, deployment of Qualtrics’ vaccine
solution is being supported by Ernst & Young LLP (EY), a leading member of the Qualtrics Partner Network. EY is working with Qualtrics to implement and deploy this
solution for governments across the U.S.

Founded in 2009, phoenixNAP’s mission has always been to provide outstanding value and service, using state-of-the-art technology, to remove the stress from IT management and maintain an incredibly responsive experience for customers so they can focus on their core business. While the company provided organizations and businesses of all sizes with cutting-edge IT infrastructure solutions and services, its legacy on-premises communications and contact center systems were hindering global growth as they were costly to maintain, difficult to administer, and unreliable. phoenixNAP needed a cloud communications platform that could be easily deployed across multiple locations and centrally administered to improve communications, collaboration and customer engagement while ensuring business resilience.

The Google Ads Direct Connect integration communicates directly with the Google Ads API in order to allow conversion data to flow between the two platforms. Marketers can now seamlessly optimize campaigns around conversions, such as calls, form fills, sales, and appointments, within one platform. With this direct integration, CallTrackingMetrics is also one of the only providers in the space with the ability to directly influence conversions for click-to-call and click-to-landing pages in Google Ads.

Unlike traditional website chat offerings which leave customers frustrated, Conversica IVAs can engage with website visitors and quickly connect them to the information they seek via chat, use email and SMS to nurture them through a qualification process and pass hot qualified opportunities to customer-facing teams—all while delivering a personalized experience that digital-natives now demand across multiple channels. As businesses become more digitally enabled, a greater burden is placed on customer-facing teams to engage with a higher volume of prospects and customers across many more channels. Delivering a personalized touch to every prospective buyer or customer is simply not possible for resource-strapped customer-facing teams. In response, many companies turn to simple chatbots to answer commonly asked questions and quickly connect website visitors to live agents. Unfortunately, as their digital volume grows, history shows that teams quickly collapse under the pressure to respond. Simple chatbots can only deliver canned responses to predetermined questions that have taken months to be stood up by internal teams, and due to high volumes coupled with resource-constrained customer-facing teams, it is no longer feasible to rely on having a human representative available on demand. Using Conversica’s IVAs via website chat allows customers and prospects to start on one channel and easily move to another channel to have a deeper level of engagement with a product or service. From the very first touch, IVAs stay with that prospect or customer across their entire customer journey and realize instantaneous time-to-value for organizations. Whether teams are trying to drive people to marketing events, find sales-ready leads faster, schedule an account review, identify renewal or expansion opportunities, or even work through invoicing and payment logistics, they can engage with prospective buyers or existing customers via website chat and easily transition to a more detailed conversation over email, from email to text, and eventually over every possible digital touch point—all without losing any moment of that conversation or the context.

Secure Software Manager makes it easy for enterprises to integrate secure key management for code signing into their development processes while delegating cryptographic operations, signing activities and management in a controlled and auditable way. The drive for agility leaves the product engineering organizations exposed to internal threats and hackers. Stolen code signing certificates and their associated keys have led to many high-profile attacks, where these keys have been used to sign malware and commit fraud. DevOps teams need signing solutions that fit within their workflows and make signing keys easily accessible when pushing code, but many orchestration tools do not include key protection. Secure Software Manager removes the burden on engineers for cryptographic asset protection, enabling them to sign with confidence and freeing them to do what they do best: develop and deploy software quickly and efficiently. It provides: • command line tools that easily integrate with CI/CD systems • automatic signing of packages, binaries and containers on every merge to master when authorized • RESTful APIs for custom integrations • simultaneous signing of Docker containers and software code, adding trust to every step of process Using Secure Software Manager reduces the risk of key theft and misuse by strengthening security around key accessibility and storage.

Following Domo’s launch of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Global Tracker, the Election Tracker is yet another example of Domo’s mission to encourage curiosity around data and its sources. The Election Tracker was borne from the curiosity of Domo’s public insights team – the team responsible for the Coronavirus Global Tracker – as they explored data and insights relative to the 2020 election. Two dominant questions arose from this exploration: How can the public better understand the relationship of current polling to that of polling at the same point in the 2016 cycle – given the polling in 2016 often differed from the final result; and could Domo share these polling insights alongside other core coronavirus tracker data? As an award-winning data platform for its ease-of-use, powerful data engine and interactive visualizations, Domo is built to allow users to quickly ingest new data and combine with existing data. The Domo public insights team quickly pulled in 2020 and 2016 presidential polling data, alongside political campaign contributions and blended those data sources with existing coronavirus data. The team leveraged Domo’s internal ETL tools, interactive visualizations and custom-built apps to create the Election Tracker. This free resource uses the Domo platform to help anyone see and understand data around this year’s presidential election, and also enables users to embed any of the visualizations in their own websites or operations. In addition, the Election Tracker includes a Data Explorer feature, which enables users to filter to a specific state or day, sort the data and export the metrics behind the interactive visualizations. Users can also drill down to view state-level details of campaign contributions, unemployment claims and COVID-19 metrics such as mortality and new cases.

GoSpotCheck (GSC) is a mobile task management platform that connects frontline workers with corporate goals and directives, creates a shared view of the field, and helps leaders make better decisions, faster. By deploying Looker, GSC was able to create 225 customized data experiences that seamlessly fit into existing workflows to deliver real-time data at the point of need, and reduce the overall time needed to build reports by 70%. GSC delivers insights 95% faster to hundreds of its top enterprise customers worldwide, including Dole, Fruit of the Loom, Save A Lot, and Under Armour. GSC’s consumer goods customers are leveraging Looker to run corporate campaign tracking, merchandising, trade programs, and field sales optimization. Clothing brands, including Fruit of the Loom, use the platform to visualize their market positions, display compliance Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and influence product placement within large retailers during key selling seasons such as back to school. Additionally, Fruit of the Loom uses data insights to identify trends and opportunities when it comes to color, material, and more — helping drive research and development, business strategy, and decision-making. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, a growing number of customers are using the GSC platform to track sanitation efforts at schools, hospitals, entertainment venues, and offices, as they plan for re-opening. For example, retail customer Save A Lot is managing daily operational checklists, food safety, and innovative training initiatives, along with tracking new processes implemented during COVID-19 for health and safety. To meet these customer needs, GSC leveraged Looker to help Save a Lot create interactive dashboards that track, visualize, and share inspection outcomes across locations to ensure safety regulations are met. The GSC platform was originally created to support processes that were primarily done by distributed teams using pen and paper, email, or internally-developed apps. As companies move to implement digital transformation strategies, they are increasingly turning to GSC for the ability to deliver highly structured data back to corporate headquarters. The implementation of Looker allowed GSC to solve three of its biggest technical challenges to operate effectively — speed, scale, and customization of data. With Looker, GSC customers now have access to powerful operational insights through dashboards that are configured to provide the full data story in real-time.

Knowledge graph completion provides value across domains, including identifying new associations between genes and diseases, the discovery of new drugs and predicting links between customers and products for better recommendations. From queries to support domain experts in uncovering what they know, to patterns to understand trends, to calculating high-value features to train ML models, knowledge graph completion isn’t possible without graph technology.

Over 40% of people currently say they are unsure or do not plan on getting the vaccine. The Qualtrics vaccine solution will help governments understand resident sentiment around the vaccine and what actions they can take to help people feel confident and safe about the distribution and administration of the vaccine. (Study results can be found here). In contrast to other vaccine solutions, Qualtrics’ Vaccine Management + Citizen Experience automates and streamlines vaccine operations on a single platform and integrates directly into existing health systems. The agility of the Qualtrics XM Platform™ allows government officials to customize their programs––without the need for professional services––to quickly adapt to new or additional vaccines and apply updated CDC guidance and state or federal-level requirements. Additionally, deployment of Qualtrics’ vaccine solution is being supported by Ernst & Young LLP (EY), a leading member of the Qualtrics Partner Network. EY is working with Qualtrics to implement and deploy this solution for governments across the U.S.
