A shortage of IT staff might be another cause. Layoffs are widespread because of the pandemic, and some of those laid off might have been IT and cybersecurity security staff Another reason could be that, ...
However, the way this surge will be handled is a concern for many. Amazon itself recently confirmed that it is facing fulfillment center capacity limitations, mostly due to four events: COVID-related staffing issues, the persistent demand for essential products, prioritization of items slotted for Prime Day, and regulator Q4 demands. Navigating these realities will certainly be a challenge -- but what exactly does this mean for vendors?...
Automation solutions may make the most sense for businesses depending on the number of countries they are selling into, the breadth of products, and the staff available to handle rates and regulations. There are solutions available for item classification, rate calculations, reporting, and returns filing that can integrate with other business systems. These include ERPs, ECMs, online retail platforms, and bookkeeping software to manage every aspect of the cross-border transaction lifecycle...
A basic step that organizations can provide to their staff is user awareness training to help those who normally interact with these phishing attacks learn to be suspicious of their email One tactic is for the user to manually check for clues that can be rather obvious. For in...
A cloud-agnostic strategy will help to optimize an organization's ROI, introduce superior security and better performance, and above all else, protect in the event of a disaster scenario. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted this need greatly. Separating cloud services can protect a business if the local site was shut down due to staff having to work from home...
"Instead of trying to define the new normal, retailers should embrace a 'no normal' and develop analytics capabilities that allow them to take in market, consumer, and sales data and make real-time decisions across consumer experience (digital and physical), promotions, e-commerce fulfillment, and associate staffing," he told the E-Commerce Times...
The Register story was about how Oracle was reducing its developer staff of about 400 people for the product. This was supposed to be a) a bad thing generally, and b) something vaguely underhanded brought to you by the company of Larry Ellison lore and legend Well? Maybe....

Most organizations will face common challenges with staff working in the same space again: How do they use elevators in office buildings?...
When the problem is an abuse of excessive power, the one remedy that can work is to mitigate that power with more powerful oversight. Complaints are routed to that entity, who then aggregates them and decides on a response based on the nature of the complaint. The position has to be staffed well enough to be able to deal with the complaints and have enough authority to assure that the resulting punitive remedy, if the complaint holds up, is strong enough to change the underlying behavior. ...
At 8:15 a.m. local time on the morning of Aug. 6, 1945 the first atomic bomb -- codenamed "Little Boy" -- was dropped from the B-29 "Enola Gay" on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It was the first of only two times that an atomic weapon had been used in wartime, and while even 75 years later the event remains controversial. It was a testament to the technological process that occurred during the Second World War...
The inescapable conclusion drawn is that businesses across North America are led well and staffed with people who are engaged in what they're doing. But technology is barely adequate -- and because of this, managers should devote their attention to improving systems whenever they think about how to improve overall company performance.
Human error is a risk in these scenarios. It's difficult to monitor a large group of people to make sure they are adhering to the CDC guidelines. It also places a substantial mental burden on staff; the average human attention span is about 8.25 seconds, and many are distracted by emails, text messages, and constant notifications on their phones...
It has rolled out new training, toolsets, and frameworks for managers because it recognized that managers are the critical link to ensuring operations, but many are untrained to manage highly remote staff It is fascinating and brilliant because even those of us who had formal ...
Amazon canceled Prime Day, which is traditionally scheduled for July, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic -- when consumers were locked down in their homes and most stores and businesses were shuttered, or trying to function with in-person skeleton crews and support staff working from home...
The situation involves having open-source components implemented in an uncontrolled manner and potentially left in an insecure state with outdated, unpatched, and prone to vulnerability exploits. Without adequate knowledge of where and how OSS is used, the organization risks allowing vulnerabilities into their infrastructure of which the IT staff is unaware and thus cannot proactively address...
Call centers have been forced into overdrive to change business processes and policies on working from home -- such as providing representatives with equipment they can use at home and scheduling staff in a way that ensures customers have access to service 24/7 -- while keeping in mind the unique challenges of balancing work life with home life...
