I don’t think anyone would be surprised to learn that there’s a pretty good overlap between social banking and mobile banking.  I embed the following video where Mike Panzarella talks about a variety of things.  He goes into segmentation of customers around 1:30 in the video.  The entire video is interesting though. Now back to […]

We’re hearing a lot about the benefits of Business Intelligence and Analytics in the financial services space. BI helps organizations gather real-time customer insight that can be used to better understand customers’ transaction patterns and preferences. BI also supports governance, risk and compliance processes for financial services firms. In summary, BI delivers smarter outcomes for banks across […]

In the previous weeks,  I participated a webinar of SAP data warehouse solution called SAP Rapid Marts. This product & solution is not as popular as other SAP products such as business warehouse (BW), Business Objects (BO) etc.  But now it is being adopted and deployed to more small or medium size company.   SAP marketing […]

I was following some of the live tweets from technology professionals attending Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in Orlando today. Much of the discussion at the event is around helping CIO’s and IT leaders focus their attention on growth, cost reduction and competitive advantage – all while filtering out the noise around disruptive technologies like cloud, social, mobile […]

Hot off the presses from Mary Jo Foley over at ZDNet: TechNet and MSDN subscribers can officially download SharePoint 2013 (and other Office family goodness) as of right now. Yes, right now. As in, “this minute”. That’s right. It’s not even mid-November yet, and they’re already here. Talk about overdelivering. As you read this, someone […]

SharePoint can be leveraged as a comprehensive information platform for the enterprise, including public websites (“in front of the firewall”) and intranet and extranet portals (“behind the firewall”). The following presentation focuses on SharePoint user experience in a “behind the firewall” context. Within your SharePoint environment, an investment in user experience (UX) is critical. From […]

I recently posted about how to make your IBM WCM environment easier to use for content authors. In many cases, that may be sufficient for your needs, but sometimes it may be appropriate to augment that with more formal training. This training would be specific to your WCM environment – not on generic WCM authoring. […]

I am in beautiful, sunny Florida attending the Vertex Exchange conference with 300 or so other tax technology folks. The people attending this conference are mostly tax managers and tax analysts from companies that are based in the US but may operate around the globe. I was discussing certain challenges I encountered recently on a project […]

One of the key areas we focus on with many of our IBM Portal/WCM implementations is the authoring of web content within WCM. Let’s face it – while the out-of-the-box interface isn’t difficult to use, it is easier for technical users to learn than for non-technical content authors. However, there are a number of things that […]

Congratulations to Microsoft for winning CRN‘s Annual Report Card (ARC) Trophy for Collaboration Software, the first time that this category has been included.  From CRN’s post by Rick Whiting “Almost every enterprise we work with has SharePoint someplace,” said Matt Morse, director of the SharePoint practice at Perficient, a St. Louis-based solution provider that’s a […]

On Wednesday, we brought our Microsoft practice and our XD team together for a webinar, “Create Great Search Experiences with SharePoint 2013.” Brian Flanagan, Director of Experience Design at Perficient, quickly dove into the user experience of search, and why it’s imperative to have a good search experience, both on your organization’s intranet and on your […]

  Author: Suzanne George, Senior Technical Architect, Perficient. This week I presented at the Houston SharePoint Users Group on Advanced InfoPath Development and although the dance-off between Richard Calderon and I was, well, memorable — and not necessarily in a good way LOL(!),  I hope everyone had a great time and great food thanks to […]
