Artificial intelligence in manufacturing tends to conjure up ideas of predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization or quality control. All are true, of course, but as a data specialist, I view these more as outcomes. What drives these outcomes is an underlying AI-powered employee experience technology that delivers greater employee engagement, a single source of truth, and best-in-class internal communications — all of which empower your people to excel in all they do.

Compensatory time (or "comp time" for short) is a time off that employees get instead of overtime pay. For example, if you work an extra four hours on a busy Thursday, your employer might give you six hours off another day instead of paying you overtime wages. It's like a "time in the bank" system - you put in extra hours now and take them back later when things are slower.

Did you know that businesses using data integration tools within IT service management (ITSM) framework can analyze and synchronize service data up to 85% faster? Data integration platforms are essential for managing data from various sources, whether it’s on-premises, cloud-based, or a combination of both.

Today, more than half of companies rely on cloud infrastructure, and with 63% accelerating migration mandates, cloud computing has become a core technology for modern businesses. But while the cloud offers many notable benefits over on-premise, such as cost-savings, performance boosts, and tighter security, the actual process of migration is a major hurdle for many organizations.

It’s no secret that the need for secure communications is bigger than ever. Online threats are more sophisticated, and getting worse as bad actors leverage tools like generative AI. If you're not worried about how to protect your organization, then you haven’t been paying attention. From sensitive client data to proprietary information, unsecured communication is a large and attractive target.

The company intranet has evolved into a crucial tool for employee experience, offering more than just a way to access resources. Employees now expect their workplace technology to offer the same ease and functionality they experience with personal apps, whether they’re in the office, remote or on the frontlines.
