Two or three years ago, software buyers in the market for new and improved tools for managing website content and cross-channel digital customer experiences had a typical request: "Help me replace my legacy web content management system with a new web content management system." It was out with the old, legacy, hard to use system, and in with a new solution that perhaps had a few new capabilities, but which still looked and felt like… a web content management system.
As we approach 2014, that WCM buyer is asking for a whole lot more. Enter the digital experience platform – an emerging software category poised for takeoff as enterprises seek to differentiate through better digital customer experiences.
Forrester has defined the digital customer experience platform and 14 specific tools and capabilities in our TechRadar report for application development and delivery pros.
We took the research further in another recent report, a Market Overview report covering digital customer experience delivery platforms. This reports describes 17 representative software vendors and their offerings as they try to tackle this robust market with a diversity of capabilities; each has a different approach. Our research has identified players with heritage in four vendor categories: web content management (e.g. Acquia and Adobe), eCommerce (e.g. Demandware, Digital River), marketing solutions (e.g. Hubspot, Razorfish), and enterprise business software providers (IBM and Oracle).

Reflecting on 2013 (as one does on the last the day of the year …), I'm struck by how much I seem to be living in two parallel universes: a promised land of appropriately targeted marketing, personalized offerings, courteous and efficient customer service, timely and accurate information – you get the picture; and the real world, in which the gap between the promise and what's being delivered seems, if anything, to be widening.
Admittedly, my research focus on business intelligence, analytics and big data no doubt heightens my awareness, as I'm forever looking for signs that the technologies that are available have actually been deployed. Sadly, a lot of the time I find that even companies with flagship projects involving advanced analytics manage to undo much of the good work by falling down on something very basic, such as getting my name right, or knowing which products I've actually purchased.
In case my point needs proving, I'll start by taking a light-hearted look at a few examples of what I'm talking about, before suggesting a few New Year's resolutions to all those companies whose claims about customer-centricity and superior service are being contradicted by reality:

As research for my upcoming report on cloud adoption among banks in Asia Pacific (AP), I've spent the past several months interviewing senior IT and business decision makers at banks and other financial institutions across the region. I've also met with banking regulators and spoken with cloud providers with a strong AP presence. Look for the full report early in the new year. In the meantime, I wanted to share some key findings.

Delivering great multichannel digital experiences isn't as easy as plugging in new software and calling it a day. Digital customer experience success comes from combining many elements: a big-picture vision, short- and long-term strategic planning, shifts in roles and responsibilities, and intelligent technology adoption and delivery. For application development and delivery (AD&D) pros and their business peers, the digital customer experience technology market matters because digital experience matters — both to organizations and to their customers. As your organization marches toward digital experience delivery, you must place technologies in their proper context.
In our recent TechRadar for Digital Experience Technologies, we advise AD&D pros to consider the following when thinking about planning their digital experience technologies:

The majority of large organizations have either already shifted away from using BI as just another back-office process and toward competing on BI-enabled information or are in the process of doing so. Businesses can no longer compete just on the cost, margins, or quality of their products and services in an increasingly commoditized global economy. Two kinds of companies will ultimately be more successful, prosperous, and profitable: 1) those with richer, more accurate information about their customers and products than their competitors and 2) those that have the same quality of information as their competitors but get it sooner. Forrester's Forrsights Strategy Spotlight: Business Intelligence And Big Data, Q4 2012 (we are currently fielding a 2014 update, stay tuned for the results) survey showed that enterprises that invest more in BI have higher growth.
The software industry recognized this trend decades ago, resulting in a market swarming with startups that appeared and (very often) found success faster than large vendors could acquire them. The market is still jam-packed and includes multiple dynamics such as (see more details here):

Many organizations will have been relieved to find that the implementation of the update to existing European data privacy laws, the EU Data Protection Regulation, has been postponed. Adoption of the Regulation is now scheduled for 2015, which means it'll be 2017 (possibly end of) before it's actually applicable.
At least, that's what it looks like. In typical fashion, the official document released after the European Council meeting in Brussels on Oct 25th is the result of much political horse-trading, and avoids specificity on any matters where agreement is lacking. As a result, one has to rely on a variety of third party sources in order to piece the story together. In a nutshell, a number of countries felt that the process for finalizing the EU Data Protection Regulation should be slowed down. The UK and Germany in particular argued that further consideration was required, albeit not for the same reasons: on the British side, concerns were more on the potential adverse impact on business of very stringent rules, whereas Germany wants to ensure that all required safeguards are in place.
Those who are rejoicing over the postponement shouldn't pop the champagne corks yet, though. While the extra time is no doubt welcome, headlines such as "Victory for tech giants on EU data laws" are premature: nothing is finalized, and there is still the chance that the final version is rather more restrictive than many would hope.

Occasionally I like to yield my "bully pulpit" to folks on our team that I collaborate with on joint research projects - and today is just such an occasion. Over the past few months I've been working on research with Vivian Brown on the in's and out's of public and private hackathons. It was interesting when we started this research - we got more than a few puzzled looks and questions like "why would developers want to spend their own personal time writing code?" and "hackathons might be great for start-ups and Valley companies, but will they play in Peoria?". My own personal response to these questions was to refer folks back to a stream of research I wrote in 2010 on building high-performance development teams. In my opinion a well-run hackathon is the developer equivalent of a musicians' jam session. At their core the best developers are makers - creatives who are intrinsically motivated to create and get a charge out of learning something new or building out someone else's inspiration. It's one expression of a building wave of "Social Development" that is changing the way development works, and how firms relate to developers and vice versa.
But enough rambling. I'll turn things over to Viv. Right before Thanksgiving, Salesforce hosted a well publicized "Million Dollar Hackathon" - and the results were a bit mixed. Viv's thoughts on it below:
Make Hackathons a Win-Win

Smell that? That's the smell of digital customer experience delivery technologies converging. Just kidding . . . but closer to the truth, you might be going deaf from the sheer volume of M&A and branding announcements over the past few years. Along with normal versioning announcements, 2013 held two key branding changes. Q1 witnessed Adobe's shedding of the CQ moniker to adopt "Adobe Experience Manager" and cement its place among the expanding Adobe Marketing Cloud, and Q4 just witnessed salesforce.com's debut of its "Salesforce1" customer platform.
If you somehow tuned out all of the marketing/sensory overload, I'll prove this to you another way. No peeking yet . . . OK, open your eyes! (see graphic).
Represented visually, it's clear that M&A activity in the marketing automation space never even paused after Oracle purchased eloqua last holiday season: Salesforce bought ExactTarget in June, Adobe bought Neolane in July, and Oracle came back for seconds with its Compendium Software grab in October. Commerce continues its three-year hot streak: SAP grabbed hybris in June and Sitecore bought Commerce Server in November. Mobile and social haven't completely lost their mojo either, as SDL picked up bemoko to further it's mobile/omnichannel street cred and IBM hoovered up Xtify, a mobile messaging platform, in October.

Choosing digital customer experience solutions isn't easy for application development and delivery (AD&D) pros, or for their counterparts in the business. Tech pros used to respond to digital business needs by acquiring, say, a web content management or eCommerce system. They may have integrated other software tools to deliver extended capabilities. And it was good.
Fast forward to 2013, and the range of tools to support robust multichannel digital experience is wide and deep. Many different vendors are responding. A new Forrester report cites a number of their offerings as examples of emerging digital customer experience delivery platforms.
In our report, "Market Overview: Digital Customer Experience Delivery Platforms," my colleague Mark Grannan and I offer Forrester's view on this emerging market, the 14 tools and capabilities most needed for on-site experience delivery, and 17 example vendors who play in this space.
In our research, we discover some vendors provide more capabilities; some have fewer. Some build or buy most of their capabilities; others focus on integrating best of breed tools. All represent a range of companies attacking this market by answering a multitude of needs by IT and business customers all seeking to better address their customers through digital channels.
For this report, we identified four market segments plus representative vendors, including:

Forgive the thread bump, but I've been looking around for a discussion of this book. I read it recently, and am curious to know what other fans think of it.
I found it quite sad in terms of what the studio "suits" did to her, and parts of the book are nauseatingly preachy.
It has been some time since I have picked GLW's book up off the shelf, but I recall enjoying the read. She went through a lot of ordeals and recalls many events that I had no idea about. It is gratifying to see that she has persevered and appears to be doing all right.

Dear parents who say my insomnia is my own fault that I can fix myself,

Dear parents,
Love is colorblind. Please accept our relationship.

A Union County high school science teacher has been arrested after authorities say she had sex with a student.
Jessica Marie Deck was in the Union County jail on Thursday after the arrest. She is charged with sex offense with a student and is scheduled to make her first court appearance on Friday. She was being held on $5,000 bond.
Deck, 28, teaches three chemistry courses and a physics course at Sun Valley High School, according to the Union County Public Schools website.
On Thursday, she was suspended with pay, according to UCPS Spokesman Rob Jackson. She's been a teacher at Sun Valley High School since August 2012.
According to WBTV, the student was a 17-year-old male. Investigators haven't said where the alleged sexual activity occurred.
In 2013, Deck was one of several teachers to receive a "Bright Ideas" grant from Union Power Cooperative to fund innovative projects.

Christa Lawler column: Off-roading into the cultural wilds
We started out by Googling the ingredients for an El Presidente. We got distracted and instead searched for the filmography of a certain child star.
Eventually we had completely lost the original mission. We found ourselves deep in the chronicle of a mysterious man's hubris — events that occurred before either of us were born.

The original Guss' Pickles on the Lower East Side. Image via Guss' Pickles
New Yorkers take food seriously right down to the pickle on their plates. After all, the pickle has history in this town. It started as a peddle-cart finger food back in the 1930s on the Lower East Side. With a plethora of competition, it didn't take long for the best pickle vendors to emerge successful and among them was Isidor "Izzy" Guss of the famous Guss' Pickles. His pickles lived on after his death in 1975, creating a sort of pickle war between the family who bought his business and the company who sold him his cucumbers. In the end, the name Guss' Pickles went with the cucumber supplier. The Baker family, who bought Guss' pickle business eventually sold to Patricia Fairhurst who renamed her shop Ess-a-Pickle and then, after moving to Brooklyn, Clinton Hill Pickles.
Finback Brewery. Image via Tasting Table
We're excited to announce that the Untapped Cities Holiday Happy Hour will be at Finback Brewery on Wednesday December 10th. Finback was a reader's choice in our article on the Top 12 Microbreweries in NYC and at this special free event you'll be able to take a tour of the Queens brewery and try some of their great offerings, with drink specials just for attendees. Entrance to the event is free, but you do need to grab a free ticket below. Mingle with Untapped Cities readers and our large group of NYC-based contributors. The event goes from 6 to 9 pm.
Finback Brewery has an expansive evergreen offering with awesome names like Coasted Toconut and Plum & Proper, along with seasonal beers. If you're looking for more unique flavors, this is the place for you–with sour beers and others flavored with the likes of jalapeno, coconuts and plum. But there are also more easy drinking options, like the Fort Tildenist brew.
We hope to see you there!
Beer is as American as apple pie and baseball, and definitely more New York City than Taylor Swift. Here at Untapped Cities, we've been known to enjoy light beers, dark beers, weird beers, local beers and even Jewish Beers. For the fall, we've rounded up 10 beer halls you have to check out in NYC.

This is the spot that everyone knows about but still loves. Radegast is a Williamsburg institution that stays packed and thankfully does not take reservations. To experience the 22 beers they have on tap and over 50 different bottled beers from around the world, it's first come, first served. When the summer months disappear making way for the fall and winter, the beer garden (with retractable roof) is not as packed. The beer hall features a beautiful red-oak bar (along with a bartender in full German garb) that keeps the hipsters coming for a large mug with a large pretzel and bratwurst on the side.
Coney Island Brewing Company. Image via Wikimedia Commons by Amuggle
In 2011, the Coney Island Brewing Company opened up to much fanfare, selling (really small) batch brews–in fact, before it closed in 2012, it was the smallest commercial brewery in the world, according to the Guinness World Records. Only one gallon of beer was produced per batch, out of a space in Sideshows by the Seashore which they were allowed to use rent-free. According to World Record Academy, the equipment consisted of "Bunsen burners, hot plates, and old-timey mechanisms that cast a Prohibition-style moon-shine vibe over the entire operation." But despite the nano-batch production, Coney Island Brewing Company was actually part of Schmaltz Brewing Company, which produces the equally fun line of HE'BREW beers. Sadly Hurricane Sandy flooded the property and Schmaltz sold the line to Alchemy, a subsidiary of Boston Brewery who makes Sam Adams.
Arcade Bakery at 220 Church St. is located in the lobby of Tribeca's Merchant's Square Building. Image via Workstead.
Conceived by Robert Highsmith and Stefanie Brechbuehler of the Brooklyn-based design firm Workstead, the setting of Arcade Bakery is quite unconventional and rather hidden from the street The space is a long hallway arcade with vaulted ceilings that slopes downward from the street-level entrance, with alcoves along both sides of the corridor. Since the sloping floor creates the problem of regular chairs and tables, the designers created folding tables mounted onto the walls. To go along with the elegant building which houses it, the bakery's cafe uses antique brass for lighting and beautiful touches of mahogany millwork.
We took a trip to The Noble Experiment, the distillery in Williamsburg that produces Owney's Rum and the only exclusive rum distillery in New York. Walking down an industrial street filled with street art and a furniture manufacturer, it's easy to miss the beautiful tasting room and distillery that's peeking out of a huge window just above eye level. The area is changing rapidly–art galleries with adjoining bars, and soon a coffee shop moving in. Landlords are holding out, giving short-term leases in the hopes that the neighborhood will be rezoned for residential."Hipsters" and musicians will remember this area for the DIY music venues that paved the way: Death by Audio and Shea Stadium. The Noble Experiment moved in two years ago, subdividing a massive space once run entirely by the furniture company next door.

Don't break up the New York Giants
The Giants' problems aren't all self-inflicted, but that doesn't mean there aren't questions
New York Giants fans are understandably frustrated. At 7-7, the Giants are in danger of missing the playoffs for the third straight season. Their defense is lousy, tied for 28th in the NFL in yards allowed. The once-vaunted running game has stumbled, with both Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs averaging fewer than 4.0 yards per carry. And making things even more worse is the fact that the Giants are enduring another second-half collapse this season. After starting the year 6-2, they have lost four straight games and five of their past six.
If the Giants miss the playoffs for the third straight year, is it time to make some serious changes? Or can the Giants put it back together and become Super Bowl contenders in 2012?
The player talent on the roster, at least, suggests the answer to that second question is "yes."

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
17 Feb 2010 23:20 GMT | Human Rights, Middle East, Egypt, Germany
King Tutankhamen, Egypt's best-known pharaoh, was a frail youth who died due to "severe malaria" more than 3,000 years ago, researchers have said, following extensive DNA analysis on his remains.
Scientists from Egypt, Germany and elsewhere, have been conducting DNA tests and CT scans on King Tut's mummy for the past two years, uncovering new details of the young ruler's lineage.
In a study to be published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Wednesday, the scientists say the boy king was born with a cleft palate and clubfoot, and his parents were most likely brother and sister.
"This is how King Tut died, from severe malaria," Zahi Hawass, Egypt's senior archaeologist and co-author of the new study, said on Tuesday.
"We actually can say for the first time that we revealed the mystery behind the family of the Golden Boy - King Tut. "He had severe necrosis and deformities in the toe of his left foot, and it caused him severe pain. This is why he was limping, he couldn't walk normally.
"130 canes were discovered in his tomb when it was unearthed," he said.
Mystery has surrounded King Tut since his tomb was discovered intact in 1922, yielding a stunning array of treasures, including a golden funeral mask. He is believed to have ascended the throne at around 10 years of age, but died before his 20th birthday, sometime around 1324 BC.
Royal inbreeding
Theories of the cause of his death have ranged from supernatural forces, poisoning by his sister, to genetic diseases. A hole in King Tut's skull was thought to be connected to his death, but a 2005 CT scan found it was likely created by the mummification process.
The latest findings indicate the young pharaoh had a weak immune system due to genetic disorders, probably brought about by inbreeding among ancient Egypt's royals. His death came from complications from a broken leg, along with malaria infection. The new study also offers new details on King Tut's lineage, based on tests performed on 15 other royal mummies. It is thought that Tutankhamen's father was the pharaoh Akhenaton, who ruled Egypt for 17 years alongside Queen Nefertiti.
"I really believe that the reason for the deformities and the weakness in the bones came because Akhenaton, his father, married his full sister," Hawass said.
The identity of Tut's biological mother has yet to been confirmed, though.

When most of us think of caring for the family dog, we have in mind a sedate walk around the block once a day, maybe an obedience class when he's a pup, a good brushing once a week and lots of hanging out together watching TV at night. And then there is that special breed of dog — the high-energy, need-a-job-to-do, groom-challenging kind that comes in all looks and sizes, but shares one commonality: He is undeniably high-maintenance.
In alphabetical order, we present the 10 most high-maintenance dog breeds.
Anna Pozzi, Animal Photography
The smart and focused Australian Shepherd seems never to run out of energy. After he has brought in the morning newspaper, escorted the kids to the school bus, picked up their toys and dirty clothes from the floor and placed them in the appropriate receptacles, he's ready to help you do yard work by fetching tools or digging out weeds in your garden. Then he'll want you to throw a ball or flying disc for him to chase, practice for the weekend's agility or obedience trial, or take a brisk hour-long walk or hike. You'll wear out before he does unless you are equally active — and creative enough to keep him occupied.
Leesia Teh, Animal Photography
Cavaliers love to be in a lap and will claim yours in a flash as soon as you sit down. Aptly nicknamed the "Love Sponge," Cavaliers were bred to be companion dogs, and that's what they want to do. You'll never have privacy in the bathroom again if you live with a Cavalier. A Cavalier will dog your footsteps and make it clear that he does not wish to be left alone all day. The ideal home for this doe-eyed dog is one with a stay-at-home parent or work-at-home spouse, or with a retired couple.
Nick Ridley, Animal Photography
Often referred to as a canine Einstein, the Border Collie has a desire to work that borders on the obsessive. He will herd anything that comes his way — kids, cats, cars, even a bag of oranges that have spilled onto the floor. His intelligence and energy make him a fabulous competitor in dog sports, but if he is underemployed at home, he is likely to develop compulsive behaviors such as chasing light and shadows, twirling in circles, and bouncing up and down. Be prepared to keep him busy with dog sports, activities around the house, regular training sessions and plenty of daily exercise.
Tetsu Yamazaki, Animal Photography
With a Brussels Griffon, you're never alone. These affectionate dogs possess an unshakable desire to be with their favorite person at all times. When a Griff feels abandoned or lacking in attention, he will express his frustration by converting toilet paper into confetti, overturning trash receptacles and peeing on your favorite Oriental rug. Take him with you when you can and train him early on to accept necessary separation with equanimity — or face the consequences.
Sally Anne Thompson, Animal Photography
The people-adoring Cocker Spaniel dislikes being left alone; Cockers who aren't well socialized — and even some who are — can develop severe separation anxiety that takes the form of barking, whining and destructive behavior. In addition, his coat requires professional grooming or frequent care from a dedicated owner. The silky medium-length coat must be brushed several times a week and bathed and trimmed weekly. Even a Cocker with a short trim needs frequent brushing and bathing and trimming every couple of weeks. He is prone to ear infections, so weekly ear inspection and cleaning (if needed) are recommended. Many people rely on professional groomers every four to six weeks to keep their Cocker Spaniels looking the very best.
Few breeds are more demanding of their owner's energy and attention than the German Shorthaired Pointer. This talented hunting dog is energetic, strong and challenging. He's a natural in high-drive dog sports and a perfect companion (overall health permitting, of course) for long runs and strenuous hikes. German Shorthairs require daily sessions of heart-pumping exercise and plenty of training to keep them under control.
Barbara O'Brien, Animal Photography
He digs, he barks, he runs, he jumps. The Jack Russell (or Parson Russell if you live on the AKC side of the fence) is hardwired to be active and needs a full-time activity director to keep him busy in constructive, and not destructive, ways. He does best when he is kept busy hunting rats on a farm or competing in terrier races and earthdog tests. Jack Russells can even make great jogging partners, but some joint and neuromuscular problems can occur in the breed, so get a healthy go-ahead from your vet first.
People say they don't shed and they're hypoallergenic. That's the 411 that most people get about this glamorous and brainy breed. Spoiler alert: Poodles do shed—with loose hairs becoming entangled with other hair if not brushed out — and they are not hypoallergenic. But they are adorable! That beautiful curly coat can be very high maintenance if you are going for the best in show look but if you aren't, a visit to a professional groomer every six to eight weeks should do the trick. During adolescence, the maturing coat must be brushed daily to prevent mats.
It was probably a Lab who inspired the saying "A tired dog is a good dog." Plan to teach your Lab tricks, and get him involved in dog sports if you don't want to see just how much destruction he can do when he's bored. Some Labs even make great jogging partners, but hip dysplasia is prominent in the breed, so get him checked by your vet before hitting the running trails. Need a reminder as to why you need to provide structured activities for your Labrador from day one? We have one word: Marley.
The spunky Yorkshire Terrier has a lot going for him, but his beautiful coat is high-maintenance, even if clipped short. A Yorkie with a long coat requires daily brushing and weekly baths. A Yorkie with a short "puppy" clip also needs frequent brushing and bathing, along with regular visits to a professional groomer to have the coat trimmed. Yorkies don't shed much compared with some other dogs, but they aren't hypoallergenic.
Do you agree with our list? Are there other dogs that you think should be included? Tell us in the comments.
