Did you know that email Send Time Optimization (STO) can improve the open rate by up to 93%? Awesome! Or it might only be 10%. A slightly more credible case study claims that message delivery at the right time resulted in an open rate of 55%, a click rate of 30%, and a conversion rate of 13%. I’ll take that increase any day if there’s a positive ROI. 

Optimization can be applied to any number of problems. It can be applied equally to content, where it may be to the customer’s benefit, as it can be applied to price, where optimization can deliver the maximum possible price for merchants. 

During WordPress theme development you will more then likely need to display some images that are located within your theme directory. The location of the images folder can vary greatly.

Privileged access management (PAM) is critical for securing sensitive systems and data, especially with remote work's expanded attack surface. However, recent research by Keeper Security reveals significant barriers still inhibit broad PAM adoption. Cost and complexity top the list of challenges.

A survey of 400 IT and security leaders found 58% have not deployed PAM because it was too expensive. And 56% attempted PAM deployment but failed to fully implement due to excessive complexity. This indicates an appetite for robust PAM, but solutions remain out of reach for many.

Large Language Models are advanced AI systems that can answer a wide range of questions. Although they provide informative responses on topics they know, they are not always accurate on unfamiliar topics. This phenomenon is known as hallucination.

What Is Hallucination?

Before we look at an example of an LLM hallucination, let's consider a definition of the term "hallucination" as described by Wikipedia.com(opens a new window:

I tweet technical content that I consider interesting, but the funny tweets are the ones that get the most engagement. I attended the JavaLand conference in March, stumbled upon the Gradle booth, and found this gem:

Of course, at some point, a fanboy hijacked the thread and claimed the so-called superiority of Gradle. In this post, I'd like to shed some light on my stance, so I can direct people to it instead of debunking the same "reasoning" repeatedly.

After thorough workload prioritization and dedicated team efforts, still feeling reaching nowhere near your goal?

The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule but to schedule your priorities. — Stephen Covey

The three issues in A2P messaging that are costing brands significant money are:

1. Price increases
2. AIT
3. Exclusivity deals

The modern digital landscape, while providing unprecedented connectivity and convenience, has also given rise to a myriad of complex security challenges. One such covert menace that has been gaining momentum under the radar is Artificially Inflated Traffic (AIT) fraud, particularly in relation to SMS verification practices.

The phrase "Data is the new oil" has been cited to the point of cliché, yet its essence holds true in our data-dependent society. While sheer data volume often captures attention, the imperative of data quality gets somewhat overshadowed. Quality should not merely be a by-product of data management; rather, it must be a foundational pillar. Therefore, a data quality framework isn't an added luxury — it's an operational necessity. A closer look reveals how these frameworks are not just a housekeeping exercise but a driving force behind successful data management strategies.

Why Data Quality Is Not Optional

In a data-rich environment, organizations sometimes lose sight of the quality of the data they are amassing. It's a costly oversight. Poor data quality can mislead decision-making processes, degrade consumer trust, and increase operational inefficiencies. Take a healthcare organization that suffered reputational damage due to faulty patient data, which in turn led to erroneous treatment plans. The incident speaks volumes about how data quality isn't just an IT concern; it's a business imperative.

Data powers enterprise success, but integrated data ensures it happens sooner. That’s why businesses flock to data management platforms for a comprehensive top view of their customers, operations, and partners. This enables them to make informed decisions, improve efficiency, and produce smarter insights.  Easily explains why the data integration market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 10% from 2023 to 2032.

While many data integration tools exist in the market, only a few excel in providing adaptability per modern businesses' needs.
