CCC Takes Time Out for "Social Hour"
For those of you who have had a chance to tour our new facility in Wood Dale you know we have some pretty cool stress relievers to help our associates relax and interact with each other outside the "IT trenches."

Well, Juan and Jim (being the very cool owners that they are) decided to kick that up yet another notch with the introduction of "Social Hour." Social Hour is when the team gets to clock out an hour early, enjoy free barbeque, and compete in pool, bags (cornhole), and Xbox tournaments.

We had our first "Social Hour" on Monday, July 14th to celebrate Juan's 11th anniversary with CCC Technologies. Everyone had a blast and we are looking forward to many more!!!!
Jim and Juan finally got the first game in
We all waited in anticipation to "get next"

Charting Avaya's New Course

Avaya one-X Mobile iTunes IconThink about your smart device. Think of all of the apps and all of the tasks you can do on it. Now think about how a company would communicate fifteen years ago.

 

It's amazing to consider the differences in an employee's work life not too long ago.

 

You were tethered to a desk phone to take your calls, and in the early 2000s the hottest new option incorporated into Apple iBooks (iBooks!) was a slot for a new thing called WiFi that had yet to explode and become a free service you could find anywhere including your neighborhood coffee shop and restaurant.

 

Nowadays? Communications is changing rapidly. In the era of the global business world, you're taking a video conference call from your hotel and responding to emails while you're in line at the grocery store.

 

The way we consume our communications is evolving faster and faster with each new app and portable device. In this Unified Communications day and age, you have the ability to be incredibly agile because of all of the options IT can now provide.

 

How agile is your IT though?

The CIO and CMO Perspective on Big Data
By Stephanie Overby- August 4, 2014 - CIO.com
Managed Services
It's a sign of the times that CMOs now spend more on technology than any corporate officer outside the CIO's office. And the biggest driver of that tech spending is big data, which accounts for 37 percent of the marketing technology budget, according to member-based advisory group CEB. Yet, as with many technology projects, CIOs and CMOs may not always see eye to eye on big data strategy and tactics. According to a recent survey of more than 1,100 senior marketing and IT executives by Accenture, 40 percent of CMOs believe their company's IT team doesn't understand the urgency of integrating new data sources into campaigns to address market conditions, while 43 percent of CIOs say that marketing requirements and priorities change too often for them to keep up.
