For some Australian context, being in Melbourne, a place full of coffee lovers (and something we jokingly say our city is better at than Sydney) I can't say I see a market for nice freeze dried coffee. I'd almost go so far as sayi

It sounds great, but I'm not sure the space needs to be "disrupted". I get it that there are a number of steps needed to buy a business, but this isn't exactly buying a chocolate bar from the supermarket where all we nee

My Surface Pro 4 has a MagSafe equivalent power supply. Works quite well, albeit not as well as the mac version.

Genuine question - where do you consider softlayer to be "cool"? Or even relevant anymore - I always saw them as an "also ran" up against a big Azure and a much, much bigger AWS.

It seems we are in the middle of an unfortunate trend when industry disruptors also seem to be conveniently "disrupting" (ie ignoring) established ethics at the same time.

Cute. But impractical, not to mention messy. They should allow you to put your company's logo on it, as it would be a cool alternative to branded coffee cups, pens and mouse pads.

Confluence is starting to move in on SharePoint's turf, I've witnessed it first hand. The two products really don't compare, but for Digital teams who just want to get something going Confluence is way easier. I think this ac

You do know it is still in preview right? Also I use the web client and it works for me, although have to agree it would be nice if the mobile app had access to some of the tabbed content. What else is wrong with the mobile app from your pe

Yes, adoption is still an issue for us as it is in a pre-release phase and we have too many options (yammer, email, outlook groups, slack etc) but it's very promising. Once they officially launch it that will help (hopefully) provide a

I really like Squarespace too, but just be wary if you have a site information architecture that needs to go beyond 1 level of menus. It doesn't handle sub-levels well. I'd also really appreciate it if they let you save a template

That sounds good. I think your challenge will be that organisations who offer online resources (client portals etc) or mobile apps probably also have CRMs, so could replicate your product pretty easily. That said, if you can feed your data

Looks neat. It's also worth you looking at CES (Customer Experience Score). CES feeds into NPS... eg NPS is a result of lots of CES's, so to improve NPS you actually need to look at the core issue(s) that may be impacting it. You

Possibly. I still believe this issue is best looked at through a bank culture lens rather than a technical one. Although I'll agree with you that the solution will require changes most likely to both.

They definitely would have noticed, but anyone who cared at the bank was a beneficiary - more loans equals higher commissions. I think the problem here is that the bank employees saw no reason to intervene, even though they should have, as
