Conclusion: Traditional disaster recovery plans do not mitigate risks against frequent software and hardware malfunction, nor do they integrate with business continuity plans. As a result, a production service may become unavailable for up to two days in certain cases (e. g. recovery from a database outage or data corruption). In the digital world, the business impact of such a failure will be significant as clients may place their orders with a competitor when they face an unavailable service for a prolonged period of time. IT organisations should deliver recovery-as-a-service that provides non-stop business operations.

Running IT-as-a-Service Part 20: Business transformation requires mature internal consulting function

Conclusion: While the increased adoption of public IaaS1 can reduce cost and simplify technology procurement challenges, IaaS does not meet all IT organisations' sourcing requirements such as legacy applications maintenance and IT service management. Hence, IT organisations are left with no alternative but to use multiple service providers to satisfy all their needs. This will increase clients' governance cost of service providers and extend the duration of external services acquisition. As a result, a service broker model has emerged to provide one single point of accountability to all sourcing deliverables, simplify go-to-market strategies and fulfil the Cloud migration requirements in a cost-effective manner. IT organisations should assess the applicability of this model to their environment.

Conclusion: Forward thinking IT organisations wishing to create a service differentiation should analyse their value activities to construct a "uniqueness capability". The outcome should convince business lines that IT services can generate business value at a competitive price. The value chain firstly requires to address service delivery processes by constructing the IT value chain1 , secondly to realise cost advantage2 and thirdly to create service differentiation (this note).

Conclusion: Cost advantage can be achieved by firstly, estimating the existing services costs. Secondly, use cost effective external services. Thirdly, integrate services. Fourthly, retain cost advantage. This can be achieved by removing duplicated activities and influencing cost drivers.

01 April 2016
Conclusion: Many IT organisations are perceived by their business units as high cost/low quality service providers. Much of this perception is due to the IT group's inability to successfully articulate service value, demonstrate cost competitiveness, and create internal service differentiation. IT organisations should construct service value chain models to diagnose the IT organisation's deficiencies, improve image, and link to vendors' value chains. This can be achieved by disaggregating the business of IT into its strategic activities (e. g. service definition and communication, customer service). This will result in understanding the cost behaviour and identifying existing and potential differentiation sources such as accelerating the release of business products to market and improving IT and business lines interaction.

Running IT-as-a-Service Part 15: Traditional enterprise architecture is irrelevant to digital transformation
Conclusion: While technology is becoming increasingly critical to business transformation, IT organisations are becoming less important to business stakeholders. This is because enterprise architecture practice's main focus remains on back-office systems and on initiatives that do not necessarily contribute to business performance improvement and business cost reduction initiatives. IT organisations should revive the enterprise architecture practice by delivering IT-as-a-Service with an outward focus targeting business, information, applications, and infrastructure domains. This will increase IT organisations' credibility to become key players in business transformation projects.

Soft skills, employability skills, people skills… however you refer to them, soft skills are critical to career success. Research conducted by Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation and Stanford Research Center concluded that 85% of job success comes from having well‐developed soft and people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge.
So how can we ensure that skills are being taught in every CTE class?
Realityworks created its own program: the RealCareer™ Employability Skills Program. Through our research, talking with educators and confirming information with business owners, we found a lot of great ways to not only engage students in this topic but to help them carry these skills on in life.
We know that adding additional topics to your curriculum can be scary. We also know educators do not have a lot of time and sometimes are unsure how to start incorporating this topic into their program.
Use the 5 ideas below to incorporate soft skill development into your classroom without stress.
Keep in mind, these ideas could work for different CTE areas, including engineering, nursing, Family and Consumer Sciences, welding and business. The goal is to start addressing these skills in your classroom!
- Create Conversation Cards. Write a variety of conversation topics onto note cards: "Describe the last book you read," "Discuss the previous assignment and how you handled the questions," or "What do you want to do after high school?" Then take 5 minutes of each class to pair students up with one conversation card and have them discuss the topic. Use this activity to teach communication skills and show your students how to converse with their peers.
Great for: ANY PATHWAY! Make your cards about topics in class or make them generic!
- Bring in guest speakers. Ask community members in your area of education to speak to the class on soft skills topics. Recommended questions include: "What soft skills are important to your profession?" "What soft skills have you used in the last week at work?" "How can working on soft skills get me a job?"
Great for: ANY PATHWAY! Invite someone in that has a career your students might want someday.
- Take time to reflect. If you are working on specific soft skills, make sure you give students a few minutes at the end of class to write about what went well, what could be improved on and what they noticed. For example, if they are working in a group, they are developing the ability to work on a team. Have them reflect on what it is like working in a team. If they just presented on a topic to their classmates, have them reflect on how they felt presenting, what could have made the presentation go better and what they did right.
Great for: ANY PATHWAY! Reflection time is working on critical thinking – one of the big soft skills needed in today's workplace.
- Create responsibility in the classroom. This could mean:
- Having students use day planners to help with time management (encourage blocking time for homework)
- Having students take care of a plant for the semester – plant it, water it, feed it and care for it. While simple, this is great for responsibility!
Great for: ANY PATHWAY! No matter what class you teach, your students need to show up on time, prepared and ready to listen and participate in class. These are all soft skills.
Save time with ready-to-use soft skill teaching tools. We offer a variety of employability skills products, from out-of-the-box programs that include curriculum and presentation slides to student workbooks and activity cards. All of them hit on the key soft skills today's students need to succeed. See them all here.

Meetings were held at last week's Masters, where the PGA Tour reiterated its opposition to the rule change, which would be effective from the start of 2016.
But with the backing of all the other major professional circuits – including the European Tour – the R&A and United States Golf Association are determined to hold firm. Certainly Adam Scott's victory on Sunday will not influence their decision, which has been carefully considered over almost two years of research.
"They said from the outset that the ban on 'anchoring' would have had nothing to do with the players who had been winning majors using long putters," an industry insider told Telegraph Sport. "So they would look a bit daft, if not very weak, if they suddenly relented because of Scott making it a clean sweep of the majors."
Scott's green jacket was the first major won by a player employing the broomhandle version of the putter. Keegan Bradley won the USPGA in 2011 and Webb Simpson and Ernie Els won last year's US Open and Open respectively with belly putters.
That means that four of the last six major winners have not used the conventional putting style. But the R&A and USGA insist that the study, which led to the proposals released late last year, was launched before Bradley's success and, in fact, was instigated over concerns that an increasing number of young players were opting for the long putters.
Guan Tianlang, who at 14 became the Masters's youngest competitor, uses a belly putter.
What the PGA Tour does next will be the main focus. Last week Billy Payne, the Augusta chairman, implored the Tour and the governing bodies to "find common ground" so that the game can continue to be played "under one set of rules", but it is difficult to fathom what he meant with this cryptic statement.
It is likely the American circuit will feel forced to fall into line, although there is an influential faction of Scott and Co in the locker room who will not be prepared to go down quietly.
Telegraph Sport has also learnt that at a meeting of all the international federations in Augusta, the PGA Tour's attempts to boost the number of ranking points given out at the Web.com Tour events to bring it into line with the European Tour were bashed down.
The Web.com Tour is the feeder tour for the PGA Tour, whose officials made the argument that the strength of its fields were often comparable to some of those on the European Tour.

Speed up IMAP in Outlook
Here's a simple way to speed up Outlook when connected to accounts via IMAP.
In short, make Outlook work offline at all times except when connecting to send/receive messages.
Go to Send / Receive and click Work Offline
On the Outlook status bar it'll show 'Working Offline'.
Then go to Send/Receive | Send/Receive Groups. For the 'All Accounts' group (and any others) enable the 'When Outlook is Offline' setting 'Schedule an automatic send/receive every nn minutes.
Secrets and tips for the Windows 10 May 2020 update
A detailed and independent look at Windows 10, especially for Microsoft Office.
Fully up-to-date with coverage of the May 2020 major update of Windows 10.
This 1,000 pages, 40 chapter book shows you important features and details for Windows 10 users.
The default time is 30 minutes, you'll want to reduce that to something between 5 and 15 minutes. This is how long Outlook will wait between connecting to send/receive new mail.
Why this works
Outlook's IMAP has an annoying habit of checking the online store whenever you click on a message. Even though the email has already been downloaded and saved on the computer, Outlook will still check online for any changes. When online, Outlook pauses every time you move between messages which is damn annoying.
This leads many people to believe that IMAP is too slow, which is what Microsoft would like you to believe. Microsoft would much prefer people use their ActiveSync / Exchange Server system and IMAP is a rival to that.
The strange thing is that Outlook with IMAP is a lot faster when offline. In offline mode, Outlook doesn't check the online store and just displays the selected message immediately.
The solution is to make Outlook work offline except for a brief time when it connects to send and receive new messages. You can click the Send/Receive All Folders button to check online without waiting for the next scheduled update.
If your whole computer is offline, then Outlook's scheduled send/receive will skip without error until it finds a connection.

Javi Marroquin and Briana DeJesus are heating up but according to a new report, Marroquin's ex-wife, Kailyn Lowry, doesn't believe the new romance is genuine.
According to a new report, the Teen Mom 2 star and mother of three is convinced that her ex-husband, the father of her 3-year-old son Lincoln, is only dating their co-star, who is mom to two daughters from previous relationships, to get back at her for their split.
"Kailyn [Lowry] can't help thinking that Javi [Marroquin]'s main reason for dating Brianna [DeJesus] is to spite her," a source told Hollywood Life.
The insider said that in addition to choosing to hook up with one of their Teen Mom 2 co-stars, which he reportedly knew would garner him tons of publicity, he's also chosen to date the Teen Mom 2 star that lives over a thousand miles away.
"It's not even like it's convenient," she said.
Marroquin and DeJesus have been in contact with one another for the past several months but they didn't go public with their relationship. Weeks ago, they enjoyed a number of vacations including a visit to Disney World with their children, including Marroquin's step-son, 7-year-old Isaac.
During their trip, and during the trips Marroquin and DeJesus have taken since, the couple hasn't hesitated to share photos and videos of their time together on their social media pages.
"Each time she has to look at photos of the two of them together, or see yet another story about them dating, it's like a stab in the heart, and it's driving her crazy," the source continued. "It must have crossed Javi's mind that getting with Brianna would piss off Kailyn."
Lowry and Marroquin were married for three-and-a-half years before announcing plans for divorce in May 2016.
To see more of Kailyn Lowry, Javi Marroquin, their family, and their co-stars, including Jenelle Evans, Briana DeJesus, Chelsea Houska, and Leah Messer, don't miss new episodes of Teen Mom 2 season eight on Monday nights at 9 p.m. on MTV. Tune into season nine of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars on Fridays at 9 p.m. on WEtv.
In the coming months, Javi Marroquin is expected to star in his own series, Being Javi, on MTV. No word yet on whether or not Briana DeJesus will be featured.

dear Bridget: write it
Psst. Bridget. You get to hear from one of my sisters today. Here's what Jaime Wright wants to say to you:
Dear Bridget,
Hey. So. Here's what's on my mind. Have you written to your husband lately?
Ok, I know, I know. You don't know him yet, you say. I get that. But get this: he's probably out there. Somewhere. And it's time you start writing him.
Well, the idea is simple–if he's on your mind, you're less likely to make a stupid mistake. Really. I mean, picture this: you're on a date when you're sixteen and you're excited about your new boyfriend. He moves in for the kiss and maybe more. You're thrilled, you're terrified, you're okay with it, you're not. Everything you've ever been taught collides with everything you ever wanted and then BAM!! HE appears. Not literally, but in your mind. The man you're going to marry someday.
You see the choices you make now will affect your relationship with him later. Picture it like a bag of dirty laundry you dump all over the floor of your honeymoon room. Every t-shirt has a name on it. Your first kiss. Your first – um – yeah.
Sort of changes your perspective, doesn't it? 'Cause that would be mortifying. Yet it happens in so many new marriages and for some reason, society seems to be ok with it. But why isn't it cheating? It is. Stealing actually. From the man—from your man. And you're the thief.
So write him a letter. Get to know him now. Tell him what you're hoping for. Explain what you're waiting for. Sure, waiting isn't popular. In this culture, it almost doesn't make sense. I mean, who buys a pair of jeans without trying them on first? But your future husband isn't a pair of jeans. And he'll cherish new. If he's a stand up stellar dude, he'll accept used, forgive it even, but used definitely isn't first best.
He's worth it. You're worth it. Be independent. Stand up to society. Realize the value in the treasure that is you. Tell him today that you're anxious to meet him. And, that next day, see if he doesn't pop into your mind, with a tip of his head, a concerned look on his face, and a hopeful breath that you'll remember … he's your future.

If you want to invest in commercial property, there are a lot of good reasons to do so. However, you need a foundation of knowledge about the market so you can make good decisions and determine whether an investment is going to be profitable for you. The more information you have, the greater your earnings will be through your commercial real estate dealings. The advice and tips shown below will be a good foundation for you as you begin to learn more about commercial real estate, or give you more information to build on your current level of understanding.
Before you make a large investment in real estate, take a look at local income levels, unemployment rates and the expansion or contraction of local employers. Commercial property near hospitals or schools have higher property values; these properties are also easier to sell.
Be patient and calm while you navigate purchasing commercial real estate. Don't invest in a hurry. Going too fast could result in a loss that you could have seen coming had you stopped, researched, analyzed, evaluated, and cross-checked the potential with your desired goals. Realistically, it can take upwards of a year to find the right investment in your local market.
Buying commercial real estate is much more complicated and time-consuming than buying a home. The added time and effort are crucial, however, to getting the return that you want on your investment.
You should thoroughly look into the brokers that you are considering, and determine their level of expertise and experience when dealing with commercial real estate. Look for someone who knows the area you are interested in. Then if they meet the criteria you are looking for, you can agree to work with that broker exclusively.
Net Operating Income, or NOI, is one of the most important metrics used in commercial real estate. You must understand what it means, and how it's used. In order to be successful and stay profitable, watch this number closely, and take steps to make certain it does not fall into the negatives.
Keep your rental commercial properties occupied. When you have an open space, you have to shell out the money to keep it looking great and running well. If you have multiple vacant properties, figure out why this is, so you can understand why your tenants are leaving.
Before negotiating a lease with a commercial tenant, work on narrowing down the list of things that would constitute default. This will lessen the possibility of a lease default by your tenant. Once a default happens, you'll be in big trouble!
If you are viewing more than one property, you may wish to create a checklist for each site. Do not proceed past initial proposal responses, unless you inform the property owners. Make sure that the owners are aware that you have other options available. It may help get you a better deal.
As previously mentioned, you may want to invest in the commercial real estate market for a variety of reasons. However, no matter what your reason may be, you need to be knowledgeable about the subject. The tactics presented here provide a groundwork of information that you can use to break into the commercial real estate investing scene.

There is a vast repository of websites, and people are developing sites like anything. The tutorial on owning a website or creating a website all over the internet and people are making use of the free-tutorial to build their site.
However, not all the websites end up making the lasting impression. Have you ever thought that why some websites do not make the impact while others do?
Well! The design of the website and the content of the site is offering more than a just plain standard set of information thrown there.
Professional web development companies in Dubai is aiming to enhance the experience of the user and increase the excitement with their expert techniques.
Website usability referred to user-centered design, and in this type, both web design and web development process are focused around the point of view of the user.
Accessibility and Usability of Website:-
The primary objective of building a site is that other people can easily access your site and it is available to explore. If your website can not reach out to people, then the website is not worth the efforts, and it will be like it does not exist.
Usability Improvement of Website
If you want to increase the web usability of your website then here are some of the elements which need to be considered while improving website usability.
- Server Up-time:
This means that if any searches out the website on Google, then the person must not come across any error while loading the site. It is linked to the web- hosting process.
- Broken Links:
If you are a frequent user of the internet then you must be aware of 404 page. It is an example of a broken link where some of the website pages are dead.
- Mobile Usage:
One of the perks of the smartphone is that most of the times users can explore a website through their cell which comes in handy. Therefore you need to ensure that your website is mobile friendly and capable of working well on mobiles.
Another critical factor which is linked to website usability is the relevancy of the website. It means that the content which is present on the site should be relevant.
For example, if you are visiting a fashion store website, then the content present should be about fashion and the products related to fashion. If the website does not have the relevant content, then it does not serve the purpose. Also, when the site has multiple products, then the search bar should be able to divert to the specific category the user is looking for.
User-friendly web design and development firm offers a range of design which can be interactive and have functionality value as well.
Another element for the website usability of the site is the clarity of the website. The information present on the site should be clear, and the visitor should be able to comprehend it.
It is essential to give the adequate information to the visitor regarding the products and services but just throwing all the information you have is not a wise. The website pages which have too much information distract the visitors, and they will leave dissatisfied.
When someone visits a website, they have a specific goal in their mid which they are seeking on your site. But if the information is not there upfront and your website is not helping them, then they will take no time in diverting back to the Google searchers and explore more sites.
In other words, websites should make the search process or information reach out process easy instead of complicating it even more.
Keeping it simple and clear is the key to a good website.
With the excess of information available on internet credibility of information has become an issue.
No matter how clear and catchy design of your website but if the information is not credible then the whole site worthless.
Let people know about you and have valid contact details. People need to understand that the website or business owners are the real people.
The content present on your site must also be trustworthy and not just random information.
Spiral Click also believe that the right website is essential for the customers to return and it can build the trust and loyalty of the customer.

Atlanta was made the 3-1 morning-line favorite for Saturday's (Oct. 12) $1 million Yonkers International Trot at Empire City Casino's Yonkers Raceway after drawing post three for the 41st edition of the invitational for harness racing older trotters. A 4-year-old mare, Atlanta will represent the United States in the 10-horse, nine-nation field.
The draw for the race, which will be contested at the distance of 1-1/4 miles around Yonkers' half-mile oval, was held Tuesday (Oct. 8) during a luncheon at Empire City Casino's Good Time Room.
Atlanta, the 2018 Trotter of the Year in the U.S., is one of two stateside representatives in the International Trot and heads to the race off a 1:53 qualifier at Harrah's Philadelphia on Sept. 24. In her previous start, she won the Charlie Hill Memorial on Sept. 7 at Scioto Downs.
For the year, Atlanta has won seven of 11 starts and finished second on three occasions, earning $658,400. She has won 19 of 35 career races and $1.79 million. The 4-year-old mare is trained by Ron Burke, driven by Yannick Gingras, and owned by Crawford Farms Racing, Brad Grant, and Howard Taylor.
"At the end, it was (posts) two, three, and five; it didn't matter which one of the three," Gingras said. "Post three is as good a spot you're going to get. We're really happy with where we're starting.
"I feel really good because she trained here last week and she was so good. She was strong finishing, too, and went a good mile. I wasn't really planning on going super-fast, but she felt good and wanted to buzz her through one turn, and she did. I think all systems are go. We've got a good post, a sharp mare, and we'll see what we can do."
Atlanta is one of three mares in the field, with France's Bahia Quesnot and Switzerland's Uza Josselyn. Bahia Quesnot most recently finished second to Propulsion in the European Trotting Masters championship and earlier this season was second in two Group 1 events, the Oslo Grand Prix and Prix Maharajah. Uza Josselyn also has two Group 1 runner-up finishes this year, in the Prix D'Atlantique and Grand Prix de France.
Bahia Quesnot, who starts from post two, and Uza Josselyn, who leaves from post four, are both 5-1.
The International Trot has been won by a mare 11 times, most recently by Peace Corps in 1991. The International Trot was contested from 1959 through 1995 before being resurrected in 2015.
Guardian Angel AS drew post nine in the second tier and is the 4-1 second choice on the morning line. He finished third in his most recent race, the Caesars Trotting Classic on Sept. 20 at Harrah's Hoosier Park. His most recent victory was in the Maple Leaf Trot on Aug. 31 at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
The 5-year-old stallion, also representing the U.S., has won seven of 12 races this season and earned $664,634. He is trained by Anette Lorentzon, driven by Tim Tetrick, and owned by ACL Stuteri AB and Kjell Johansson.
"I'm not very happy with it; we're much better being on the gate, but it is what it is," assistant trainer Anna Lorentzon said. "Timmy has to work the trip out from there.
"He feels good. As soon as I shipped him back to New Jersey he's been back to his old self. He's had a really good season, better than we were hoping. So far so good. It would mean a lot (to win the International). There is a lot of prestige in it and we're representing the U.S. It's an honor to do that."
There are four returnees from last year's International Trot, including winner Cruzado Dela Noche. The 7-year-old stallion, representing Sweden for owner Anders Strom's Courant Inc., is trained by Marcus Melander and will have Brian Sears in the sulky. He will start from post seven.
Other horses back for another try are Canada's Marion Marauder, Norway's Lionel, and Denmark's Slide So Easy.
Marion Marauder is making his third appearance in the race; he finished second in 2017 and fifth in 2018. The 6-year-old stallion, seeking his first win of the year, has captured 20 of 60 lifetime starts and earned $3.21 million. He is trained by Paula Wellwood, driven by Scott Zeron and owned by Marion Jean Wellwood and Devin Keeling.
Lionel, a 9-year-old stallion who has earned nearly $2 million in his career, finished second in last year's race while Slide So Easy finished eighth.
Slide So Easy will start from post one, Marion Marauder from post six, and Lionel from post eight.
Germany's Norton Commander and Italy's Zacon Gio complete this year's field.
"Of course, it's a strong field," Gingras said, assessing the horses from overseas. "Uza Josselyn is a really strong mare and she's quick. Zacon Gio is unbeaten this year and everybody I've talked to says he's great on a half-mile track. He's a strong horse as well. Lionel, he's a little handicapped with post eight, but we saw what he could do last year. Bahia Quesnot has been really good in France.
"(Atlanta) is not alone in the race. There are many horses that belong. Of course, we're one of them, but she's going to have to race hard."
Racing begins at 1 p.m. Saturday at Yonkers Raceway. The International Trot is race seven with a 3 p.m. (EDT) approximate post time. The card also includes the $250,000 Harry Harvey Trot (race eight) and the $250,000 Dan Rooney Pace (race 11).
Following is the field in post-position order for the $1 million Yonkers International Trot.

Communities Turn Out to Call on Congress to Fight Gun Violence
In every corner of the country, Americans are continuing to come together, speak out, and demand action to make our communities safer from gun violence.
To elevate their voices we teamed up with our friends from March for Our Lives, Town Hall Project, TOMS, and Levi's to give a platform to those calling for change.
Together, we hosted a nationwide series of Gun Safety Town Halls to rally support for H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 that would establish a background check on every gun sale.
With the House of Representatives expected to take a vote on this lifesaving bill within days, find out how communities are making their voices heard.
Denver, Colorado | Washington Street Community Center
Our first event in Denver packed the Washington Street Community Center with more than 100 people who gathered to hear from—and ask questions of—gun violence prevention experts, local advocates, and Congressman Joe Neguse about steps we must take to make our country safer.
"Experts, local advocates, and gun violence survivors were all in attendance tonight sharing the same message: "We want to relay that progress is really happening."
Austin, Texas | Townlake YMCA
In Austin, student activists spoke to Congressman Lloyd Doggett and community members asked experts about the details of the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. At the end of the meeting, the group discussed what actions need to be taken before the background checks bill comes up for a vote.
CBS Austin: Gun Safety Advocates Push for Universal Background Checks
"The town hall is part of an effort calling on lawmakers to strengthen gun laws. Congressman Lloyd Doggett joined the event to push for HR 8, a bill that would require universal background checks for gun purchases nationwide. He said it's just one small step in curbing gun violence, but called it a 'necessary one.'…"
FOX7: Push for Better Gun Regulations in Central Texas
"Saturday neighbors, politicians and students gathered in Central Austin to discuss gun violence in the U.S. Giffords, the gun violence prevention organization co-founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, teamed up with March for Our Lives and the Town Hall Project to spread awareness."
Raleigh, North Carolina | John P "Top" Greene Community Center
In Raleigh, the panel showed how stakeholders with different experiences and reasons for calling for an end to the gun violence epidemic—from doctors to students to elected officials—are rallying together. Community members shared their stories and encouraged others to call Congress.
WRAL Raleigh: 'It's Pretty Scary.' Local Students Join National Panel in Call for Gun Safety
"The national Gun Safety Town Hall made a stop at the John P. "Top" Greene Community Center in Raleigh on Wednesday night to push for support for the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, also known as HR8. The panel at Wednesday night's event was comprised of victims of gun violence who are stopping in towns across the country to ask communities to support the bill."
ABC 11: Cary Mass Shooting Survivor, Elected Officials Discuss Gun Bill Proposal in Raleigh
"Tucked away in a room in the John P. "Top" Greene Community Center in Raleigh Wednesday evening were dozens of community members, elected officials, and supporters of a proposed gun bill. Kim Yaman was among those in attendance. The Cary resident was on the campus of the University of Iowa in 1991 when Gang Lu shot and killed 6 people on campus in a mass shooting."
Charleston, South Carolina | Ebenezer AME Church
Less than a mile from the site of the Charleston massacre at the Emanuel AME Church, the community showed up in force to learn about closing loopholes in our gun laws, including the Charleston Loophole. The all-star panel included Congressman Joe Cunningham, the Charleston Police Department's Chief of Staff, Dr. Joseph Sakran, student activists, and more.
WCBD: Panel discussion on gun laws to close the Charleston Loophole
"The panel, made up of national organizations like Gifford's gun violence prevention and March for our Lives and local representatives, answered questions from attendees and shared personal stories of the effects of gun violence."
WCSC: People voice desire for change at gun safety town hall
"This forum comes during the same time of local leaders trying to push bills through the house that would close the 'Charleston Loophole.' The diverse panel included Congressmen Joe Cunningham, a Ft. Dorchester High School Student advocate, the sister of a woman shot and killed, and a veteran were just a few of the people introduced to speak to the crowd. During the town hall, the panel spoke in favor of change. 'I realize we can't legislate evil, but we can take common sense step to make sure firearms don't fall into the hands of mentally ill or felons,' Congressman Joe Cunningham said."
What came through in every conversation is that Americans are tired of gun violence taking so many lives. From different perspectives, backgrounds, and professions participants were united in demanding that Congress take a critical first step in addressing this crisis by passing a universal background check bill.
The steady drumbeat is being heard in Washington DC as the House of Representatives is on the verge of passing the first gun safety bill in decades. This tour proved that Americans won't be satisfied with inaction. They are going to keep the pressure on the Senate to pass this legislation and the president to sign it. We are going to keep at it and make sure step by step, we continue marching toward progress.
Use our Call Congress tool to tell your representative that you support H.R.8, the Bipartisan Universal Background Checks Act of 2019. We'll call your phone and patch you through.CALL CONGRESS NOW

Applicability of Alteryx (AYX) in down times 'even stronger' than in robust times, says CFO
Written by: Tiernan Ray
Shares of data analysis maestros Alteryx (NYSE:AYX) are up 9% at a recent $128.40 since the company on May 6th reported Q1 revenue that topped analysts' expectations, but missed on the bottom line, and forecast results this quarter below consensus — the first time in three years as a public company that the company has ever missed with a revenue forecast.
Despite that shortfall in outlook, trends are positive, chief financial officer Kevin Rubin explained to Capital Market Labs in an interview days after the report.
"We still were able to get business done as customers were shifting to shelter-in-place, and trying to figure out on their side what that meant for their process needs, etc." Rubin told Capital Market Labs.
A lot of discussion on the call focused on the company's remarks about trends in April. Specifically, CEO Dean Stoecker told analysts in opening remarks that In April, "We saw new business activity resume, and was consistent with activity levels in April 2019. We view this as an indication that data and analytics remains critical, even in challenging times."
A number of analysts tried to parse that remark during the call. Capital Market Labs followed up with Rubin on the matter. The remark was not a prediction of revenue, more a qualitative remark indicating that sales activity continued despite disruption.
"It was not intended to suggest that that was, 40, 50, 60 percent growth rates over April by any means," Rubin told Capital Market Labs, "just that there was an abrupt change in March, and we've seen things start to to resume from an activity perspective in April."
Despite lots of uncertainty — Alteryx has no year forecast for 2020 — Rubin sounded confident that both pandemic and economic turmoil that will likely follow will present more, not fewer, opportunities for the company.
"The applicability of Alteryx in down times is probably even more, even stronger than in robust states," Rubin offered.
To recap, Alteryx reported a revenue beat, delivering revenue of $108.8 million versus $105.64 million expected, but missed on the bottom line with a net loss 10 cents per share versus 9 cents expected.
The company's forecast for the June-ending Q2 missed by a wide margin, with a forecast range of $91 million to $95 million versus the expected $108.8 million, and a projected net loss of 12 cents to 18 cents versus the consensus for negative 5 cents per share.
Capital Market Labs: Thanks for taking the time, Kevin. First of all, what things do you think are most important for investors to take away from the results and outlook?
KR: That's a great question. I mean I think it comes down to a couple of things.
First off, we had a strong Q1. You know, despite the commentary about seeing an abrupt slowdown at the end of the quarter, we still were able to get business done as customers were shifting to shelter in place and trying to figure out on their side what that meant for their process needs, etc.
I think we highlighted that a large European financial institution needed something like 16 different signers in 16 different locations. We still were able to get that transaction through.
So, first thing I would just say is I think at the end of the day, Q1 was another strong quarter.
The next thing I would just simply point to, there's a bit of resiliency and just underlying strength to the business when you think about companies now are being faced with either having to do more with their business with less resources — that could be people, that can be purchased dollars, and you think about where analytics fits into that part of an organization's strategic initiatives.
And more importantly, even digital transformation efforts. I think it really demonstrates how important not just analytics are, but platforms like ours.
And in that regard, if you saw the announcement this morning, we did announce a new category that we're basically declaring, if you will, which is Analytic Process Automation. [Alteryx will hold a live-streamed event May 21st to unveil what it calls the APA, featuring testimonials from clients such as Coca-Cola.]
And so this notion that combining data, people, and processes together to create essentially the fabric of an analytic culture within an organization, is pretty powerful.
CML: I want to come back to that in a moment, but, to your second point, Kevin, when you say there's resiliency, that companies are faced with doing more with in their businesses with fewer resources, is that conjecture based on a reasonable hypothesis of what is happening or is there something in the pipeline or with the team that you're seeing that causes you to say that?
KR: Well, it's a couple of data points.
It was part of Dean's prepared remarks in his script, and it is based on the conversations that we've had with which C-levels [C-suite executives] throughout our customer base, as well as prospective customers. So we are hearing that from customers.
We're also seeing it from the overflow and use cases, when we look at how customers are leveraging Alteryx, and where it fits within their strategic initiatives. It is reinforcing that we are thought of within digital transformation.
And then I think if you just look at our partner ecosystem and maybe specifically the efforts that we're doing with PwC, we're getting a lot of feedback from that particular area. And, again, it continues to reaffirm this notion that we are pretty critical to many customers' view of their digital transformation efforts, and how to better leverage that data for decision making.
CML: I want to come back to this very interesting point about opportunities. First I want to ask the broader question, Kevin:
This is the first time since May of 2017, the first time, ever, for you, as far as I can tell, correct me if I'm wrong, based on FactSet, this is the first outlook for quarterly sales for you that was below consensus. Is that correct?
KR: I mean, I didn't go back and look. But I believe that to be true.
I mean certainly you are. I mean if you just look at what's going on in the world, and behavioral changes within customers as a result of the macro-economic slowdown, it wouldn't surprise me that it's the first.
CML: Does it mean — how do you, in your broad history as the person who oversees finance, and oversees investment, and oversees the flow of the business, how do you take an event like that?
Does it feel significant to you in the life of a company, especially since you have generally guided fairly well above the Street consistently? How should investors think about this event? Does it mean anything?
KR: Well, I mean, first off I mean I can't imagine anybody would be surprised that companies today are seeing less activity than maybe they saw a year ago.
You know, our process for setting guidance and setting expectations with the Street doesn't change.
We obviously have our various pieces of information available to us that we use to establish guidance. We have a different business — excuse me, we have a different revenue recognition model than typical subscription companies.
And that revenue recognition model requires us to take some portion of our bookings upfront. It varies based on product mix.
And when we're in a robust buying pattern that tends to be a tailwind, if you will, to revenue growth. But when you start to see companies slowing their buying that tends to be a little bit more pronounced in our particular model. Which is evident in guidance, and to your point, coming down below consensus.
But having said that, look, we're trying to provide the best information we have so investors can understand our business.
We provided a tremendous amount of transparency on the call and through conversation to really provide an understanding to the investment community, what we're seeing in the market today.
So, you can have the same general sense that we have around the business.
CML: I wanted to ask you about one more item that came up in the outlook. Which was, I think they must have asked you and Dean this on the call like seven different ways, I'm going to ask it again, Kevin, so bear with me —
KR: No problem…
CML: You talked about April and trends in April. You made the comparison to a year ago.
Does that mean that it seems like sales or revenue in April is the same as it was a year ago in April, or that growth of revenue or sales seems like it is or might be the same as it was a year ago in April?
KR: No, the spirit of the comment, I think it was in my script originally, was just to give some insight.
We talked a lot in the prepared remarks about this abrupt slowdown in March. And one of the things I wanted to do was convey how we've seen activity resume in April.
So the intent of the comment was really more activity oriented it was not intended to be a revenue or revenue growth comment.
And it really was just to say, look, we did see an abrupt impact to the business in March, but we've seen productive conversations with the customer resume.
We talked about new logo lands in April being about the same as we saw in April of 2019. So it really was just to convey that activity resumed.
We've seen similar levels of activity in April of 2020 as we saw in April of 2019. It was not intended to suggest that that was, 40, 50, 60 percent growth rates over April by any means, just that there was an abrupt change in March, and we've seen things start to resume from an activity perspective in April.
And then I provided a series of textural comments around, how we look at the Q2 guide, where the revenue would come, again, really just to provide a little bit more color around the business.
CML: Would you say there is a long term impact on your business of COVID-19 along the lines you mentioned — digital transformation is something that may give increased focus. What puts and takes are there long-term for the business as a result of what's going on?
KR: No, no, that's a great question. Look I think long term, our conviction in the prospects of the business are as strong as ever.
I don't think that what's going on with the coronavirus or the macro economic slowdown is necessarily going to have any impact on the long term.
Obviously, on the short-term, that's a bit different. Where I think COVID-19 is going to be somewhat beneficial — and I certainly don't mean to be insensitive when I say that — is just the idea that I think it really is waking companies up to the idea that if they hadn't thought about digital transformation, if they didn't think about how they can leverage data to better their business before, they certainly are today.
So it has become an accelerant to those conversations within companies as well as companies with vendors.
So we do think that it will be net beneficial as companies try to figure out how to better leverage basically assets available to them to perform better.
I think what may have been perceived a year ago as nice to have around budgets and initiatives for digital transformation is quickly becoming a must have.
CML: Does any of that, is any of that affected, Kevin, by the fact that these people are working remote for the time being, and may be for some time to come?
KR: You know, it's interesting one of the — so, we talked about a couple of things on the call that we've done to try to help our customers around work from home.
One thing that has just always been the case, we've always allowed a home use license with any purchase license.
And so we have worked with many customers to outfit their employees and Alteryx users that may need a work-from-home license.
Interestingly enough, I mean, we've seen an uptick. But it's actually been less than I would have anticipated which simply just means that the large swath of employees that are being forced to work from home are either doing so on laptops that they're taking with them or they're able to get into their networks. Because we haven't necessarily seen any lesser of users on the platform.
And more importantly I think we even talked to the fact that we've seen a record number of participants in our community site.
And so with work from home we certainly haven't necessarily seen any indications that it's slowing use of Alteryx in that regard.
Maybe just a quick segue, but we also announced our Adapt program, which is a program that came out of our Alteryx For Good initiative, specifically designed to provide free training and licenses to those workers who are unemployed due to COVID-19.
It allows them through a free certification program, as well as participate in a nano degree with Udacity, specifically around predictive analytics.
So, while not specific to the question you asked around work from home it's just another way that we're trying to make things a little bit easier for those affected.
CML: How can I use that, Kevin, if — I'm guessing if I've been on a forklift, or tending bar, I'm not the first person that can get certification. Even free. You need a little background, right?
KR: To be candid, I mean, if you were a forklift operator and you got laid off due to COVID-19 and came to us, we'd probably allow you to participate.
I imagine if you didn't have — if you hadn't been a data worker or didn't have an understanding of data you probably wouldn't come to us. So, there's going to be an expectation that those that are coming to us probably have some understanding of working with data and this was an opportunity for them to up-skill themselves.
But really it's designed, I mean, if you're a basic analyst and you really haven't had an opportunity to get more advanced in your data work, it's about a 30 day process that would give you an opportunity to up-skill yourself.
And when you do go back into the workforce, you'll have an Alteryx course certification, you'll also have a nano-degree at Udacity, which as you think about the digital transformation initiatives, should position you much better against somebody who who hasn't really been able to improve themselves over this period of time.
CML: That's great, thank you for doing that.
KR: Yeah, no, it's, as we said on the call, we're not — it's important to us that we're maintaining our staffing levels.
We're not going through any reductions.
We think we have, if nothing else, a social responsibility to our workers to employ them through this period of time, and this is just another way that we can attempt to help make a bad situation for many better.
CML: How do you look at the second phase of things, Kevin, is everyone deals with the emergency at hand, then they deal with unlocking and opening up of societies, perhaps.
But let's assume the best, that many things are contained or completely eradicated in the coming months, quarters. We still have to potentially deal with this large unemployment situation.
How are you looking forward to economic disruption, assuming things are gradually better with COVID-19 itself?
KR: Well, I think the spirit of the comments are still the same.
So, the virus may be behind us in months or however long it takes to kind of work through testing and vaccinations, etc. But I think your point there is, there absolutely is an economic slowdown that will likely be a pretty significant recession that we're going to have to work through as a global economy.
And our contention is that data is more important in difficult times than it is in great times. And how companies navigate and make decisions.
Again, it goes back to, they're likely going to have less resources available to them to run what is arguably going to be the same business they had before.
Data doesn't go away. Questions around the business don't go away. And so some of the conversation may shift from certain types of use cases in the areas of impact to more ROI and efficiency-driven discussions.
But the applicability of Alteryx in down times is probably even more, even stronger than in robust states.
And again it goes back to companies that had only been dabbling with digital transformation or data initiatives are going to find themselves in a really difficult spot as they go through whatever this recovery looks like without being able to leverage data for decision making.
Because I can tell you their competitors are. And so when you think about a competitive advantage if you're not leveraging everything available to you to make decisions, you're going to struggle.
I was just going to mention the last thing to think about is we've talked about this ad nauseum, we have very, very low penetration, still, in what is a ginormous addressable market. Plus or minus 50 million citizen data scientists out there that we believe Alteryx addresses. We have less than 1 percent penetration today.
So as we go into whatever level of uncertainty and variability exists for the foreseeable future, there's just a massive TAM still available to us.
I would feel differently if we had 60 percent penetration into a market like this. But at less than a percent, we should be able to navigate pretty reasonably well.
CML: That sort of suggests to me an environment where let's say for example there are layoffs among analysts and there are budget constraints. You might be holding or increasing portion of what budget with clients better than other companies are, is what it sounds like you're saying.
KR: That is certainly our contention. Again, you think about a company that just went through a layoff, their business was essentially shut down. Maybe they're serving consumers or businesses in some way.
They're going to have to rationalize how they spend money and where they put investment and what provides the best impact to the business. And we think that we can help them in that decision-making process, as well as drive significant efficiencies. So, you know, just to belabor the point, we do think that there's a level of resilience in what we offer, and how we do business as we go through this recovery.
CML: Let's talk about the announcement today because what comes to mind is, is this new package, are you widening the stack, or perhaps deepening the stack beyond things like ETL and machine learning or reporting? Is the stack getting deeper or broader with this offering?
KR: Well, certainly we continue to innovate. And I think you're going to see from us a level of innovation over the next year or so that you've not seen from us before.
There's an element of the APA announcement which is really just us standing tall and declaring the market that we've played in for quite some time. You mentioned ETL and I think those that got introduced to Alteryx many years ago think of us as kind of a power data wrangling solution.
But the truth is, if you look at how Alteryx has been leveraged by our largest customers, it really is a much broader application, and it's much more critical and intertwined into the fabric of their analytic culture.
And so when you think about how the Alteryx platform is actually being used, one of the key features is automation. You know, companies are building out tens, hundreds, thousands of workflows within their organizations. And they're leveraging our server product to automate those workflows.
So once you go through the analytic modeling of what you're trying to accomplish, being able to automate that activity is a significant value proposition.
So as you should think about it today it's really, standing tall and saying, look this is the category that nobody else has addressed, but we have addressed.
And as we go forward we will see innovation and announcements that all align around this new defined category. And I would think about it in the vein of what Workday did for HCM. What ServiceNow did for ITSM. What Salesforce did for SFA.
And then, think about what NetSuite did for ERP. I mean, it's really defining what we think will be an absolute requirement pillar within organizations as they go forward.
Some of it is in the vein of digital transformation that we spoke to. But it really is, I mean, APA is truly the unification of the analytics, data science, and business practice automation. And, again, we've seen it with thousands of our customers.
PWC, that whole relationship, but with the foundation is APA. You know, Coca-Cola, Manpower, Macquarie Bank — I mean, there's a number of customers that are already leveraging us in this fashion.
And so, again, I just think you'll continue to hear more and as you think about innovations, it'll allow all align under this new category.
CML: And, just to be clear, Kevin, the category is, how do we define it?
KR: Analytic process automation?
CML: So that is an existing or a new category?
KR: We are defining, we are defining it as a new category.
CML: All right. But it has, it's akin to automation in other words in other realms that we've seen from other vendors?
KR: Well, it's different in that it really is the combination of the convergence if you will of data, process, and people. And that's not something that we've necessarily seen.
We've seen aspects of it. We've seen data and processes. You've seen some level of automation through the RPA vendors around remedial tasks.
But the concept of really the convergence of data, processes, and people is something very distinct and very differentiated.
CML: And it ultimately in a financial way adds up to a new addressable category, or addressable market for you?
KR: Well, we haven't necessarily changed how we've defined the TAM.
We think it's still broadly across the similar users, although I think over time it's going to expand the TAM. We have not, we have not defined what that looks like at this point.
But I think over time you're just going to continue to see more individuals within organizations being comfortable working with data and finding ways to leverage what they're doing and automate to spend more of their time in more important aspects of their job, right?
It still fundamentally comes back to, most data work is incredibly tedious. It's time-consuming, and we find that people are spending more time in the, I guess, I don't think ingestion, but people spend more time trying to figure out how to leverage data for decision making them than actually doing decision making.
And so we think of it that you ultimately shift that paradigm, and your incredibly talented and contextualized employees are going to spend more of their time figuring out, interpreting the data and creating outcomes than trying to create the model.
CML: Amen! Anything you want to add Kevin before we wrap up?
KR: This is actually I mean we kind of touched on quite a bit.
Look I think at the end of the day, we're going to work through whatever it is that the economy is going through for the near to mid-term.
And as we, as we think about coming out the other side, we have a very strong balance sheet, we're a very financially disciplined business.
And you know we think that we will emerge a stronger company with a much larger footprint in the future. And we'll take advantage of the opportunity here in front of us.
CML: Keep up the good work, Kevin, and good luck with it.
KR: Terrific thank you for your time and look forward to connecting next quarter.
