Nine Ways to Ensure Your Company is Protecting its Employees

We all know the basics like hand-washing and social distancing, so let’s cut to the chase and talk about some topics (and solutions) you might not have considered. 1. You can’t change human behavior, but you can nudge it. The employee who was a germaphobe before quarantine began will likely continue to be the safest employee. The employee who throws dishes in the sink without washing them, and leaves empty containers everywhere will not likely change their behavior. Nothing will change here. Solution: That doesn’t mean you can make it easier for employee safety. Many companies are putting touchless hand sanitizer stations (like this one) at all entrances and in the shared dining areas. Others are requiring temperature checks upon entering. This means staff trained in taking temperatures are required and that can be a significant investment in resources. 2.

Top 5 Software Development Trends in 2019

In the world of software development, you’ve likely heard a lot of fancy terms; machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, the list goes on and on. But how many of those have been proven to last and will remain impactful to us in 2019? Let’s take a look what’s here to stay in 2019 and how they may affect you. 1. Big Data is Just Data Now Big data was a hot topic a while back. But, it’s no longer, “hey, big data is coming.” The notion now is “bigger data is here.” What used to be constrained as too much data to process is all possible now thanks to cloud providers.

Pérez Art Museum Miami Improves Its Exhibition Planning and Management Platform

Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) has chosen Curia, the first collaborative exhibition planning application, to serve as its exhibition planning and management system. With this step, PAMM joins other prestigious museums such as the Detroit Institute of Arts and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in using Curia to support exhibition planning and development activities.

As a cloud-based system, Curia provides all exhibition stakeholders with an always-accessible shared working environment and a “single point of truth” for complex and changeable data. The Curia system interfaces with PAMM’s TMS collection ...

Is It Time to Renovate or Rebuild?

Renovate or rebuild? Let’s look at a timeline for any application. This may seem like a broad generalization, but this is usually how most timelines of new applications go. At first, you are all excited because you just got a new application. It’s all shiny like a new car and maybe even has a fun new car smell. You start using it and it is working just like you wanted and things couldn’t be better. Let’s fast forward about 3 years after the initial install date. Now you have been using the software for a few years and it’s still great. All your employees love it because it is simple to use and never gives you any trouble. It is getting a little old, so the overall look of the site, as well as the new car smell, are long gone. However, you don't worry about it because it's still ...
