Spinoco Launches Microbusiness-Focused CX Platform at Cloud Connections In an industry increasingly focused on the enterprise, a new player is flipping the script. In a special Technology Reseller News and Cloud Communications Alliance podcast, telecom veterans Michael Tessler and Pavel Chlupáček announced the North American launch of Spinoco, a digital front-office platform built specifically for micro and small businesses. The launch is set to coincide with Cloud Connections 2025, April 14–16 in St. Petersburg, Florida. “Spinoco is for businesses with one to 20 lines, the ones often left behind in the rush to serve enterprise,” said Tessler. “We're bringing customer interaction management, task tracking, and AI-powered insights into one intuitive app.” Spinoco integrates UC, CCaaS, CRM, and ticketing functions into a single mobile-first experience. Every customer touchpoint—email, call, SMS, or social—is automatically captured, categorized, and converted into actionable tasks. The system includes native AI capabilities like transcription, intent tagging, and summarization. “Our focus is usability,” said Chlupáček. “This is not enterprise tech crammed into a small package. It's built from the ground up for small businesses that need simplicity and mobility.” The platform's design eliminates the need for separate CRMs, third-party integrations, or on-site IT. Spinoco also provides owners with immediate visibility into business performance—offering insights like “top reasons customers contacted us this week” without the need for manual data entry. The go-to-market strategy will focus on service providers, offered as a white-label SaaS solution. Tessler emphasized the importance of speed and simplicity: “Service providers need a low-touch, high-value offering. Spinoco is ready for fast rollout, without the support overhead.” At Cloud Connections, the Spinoco team will be exhibiting, offering live demos, and participating in the Innovation Showcase, where attendees can vote on standout new technologies. Tessler is also slated to deliver a keynote on AI trends shaping the industry.

Deine Website ist der absolute Design-Kracher auf einem großen Monitor ... nur ist davon nichts zu sehen, wenn dich jemand per Smartphone im Netz besucht? Das ist nicht gut: Denn heute heißt es beim Thema Website für die Zahnarztpraxis immer: MOBILE FIRST! Wie deine Praxiswebsite auf den Smartphones der Nutzer performt - das entscheidet über deine Sichtbarkeit im Netz - also bei Google. Warum ist das so? Was musst du wissen zum Thema mobile first? Das erklären dir Patrick und Klaus in Episode 75 deines Praxismarketing-Podcasts punk.tuell. Denn, liebe Zahnärztinnen und Zahnärzte, deine Patienten sind heutzutage mehr mit dem Handy verwachsen als mit deinen Zahnseide-Sticks. Mehr dazu von Patrick und Klaus in Episode 75 von punk.tuell - eurem Praxismarketing-Podcast Hier die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse: - Das Smartphone regiert die Welt: Fast 100% der 14- bis 29-Jährigen und fast 70% der über 70-Jährigen nutzen das Smartphone. Deine Patienten sind also mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit mobil unterwegs und erwarten eine top optimierte mobile Website. - Google liebt Mobile First: Seit 2019 bevorzugt Google die mobile Version einer Webseite für das Ranking. Wer hier nicht performt, verliert Sichtbarkeit. Das bedeutet: Erst kommt die mobile Optimierung, dann der Rest. Eine separate mobile Website ist übrigens total 2005 und sollte vermieden werden. - Design folgt Funktion (oder so ähnlich): Das Design deiner Webseite sollte sich nach den Inhalten und der Funktionalität richten und nicht umgekehrt. Das Smartphone-Display ist der Maßstab – also lieber Inhalte für kleine Bildschirme optimieren und dann anpassen, anstatt von einer Desktop-Version auszugehen. Riesige Videos und komplizierte Navigationen sind auf dem Smartphone eher kontraproduktiv. - Inhalte sind King (aber bitte knackig): Google möchte zwar umfangreiche Inhalte, aber mobil muss alles schnell erfassbar sein. Also, strukturieren Sie deine Texte, nutzen Sie Sprungmarken und sorgen Sie für eine gute Lesbarkeit. Die Kunst ist, den Spagat zwischen informativem Content und Nutzerfreundlichkeit zu meistern. - Messen, Messen, Messen: Analysiere, woher deine Besucher kommen und wie sie deine Webseite nutzen. Nur findest du heraus, welche Inhalte und Funktionen wirklich wichtig sind. Es ist ein ständiger Prozess der Optimierung, denn "never ending". Und denke daran: Deine Webseite muss nicht nur schön sein, sondern vor allem funktionieren und gefunden werden. Also schmeißt eure alten Desktop-Denkmuster über Bord und macht eure Webseite fit für die Hosentasche. Eure Nutzer (und Google) werden es euch danken! Und wenn ihr euch fragt, was B2B bedeutet, dann hört mal genau hin. **Hier findest Du die Shownotes / Links zur heutigen Episode:** Kontakt zu Patrick und Klaus: - [Patrick > LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-neumann-3bb03b128) - patrick.neumann@parsmedia.info - [Klaus > LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/klausschenkmann) - klaus.schenkmann@parsmedia.info - Telefonat mit Klaus: [Buche gerne einen Termin](https://doodle.com/bp/klausschenkmann/marketing-talk-mit-klaus) Immer für Dich am Start: - [parsmedia Website](https://parsmedia.info) - [Praxismarketing-Blog](https://parsmedia.info/praxismarketing-blog) - [parsmedia Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/parsmedia.praxismarketing) - [parsmedia Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/parsmedia.praxismarketing) - [parsmedia YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@die.praxismarketing.agentur/podcasts) - [parsmedia alle Episoden auf einen Blick](https://parsmedia.info/marketing-podcast/) - Intro-Stimme: [Annette Hardinghaus](https://annettesprecherin.de) - Soundfiles: [DJ ActiMax](https://www.instagram.com/actimaxdj) – Produktion: [Podcast-Agentur Podcastliebe](https://podcastliebe.net/)

Send us a textAs the digital experience becomes a bigger and bigger part of a buyer's journey, brands must quickly adapt to meet the evolving preferences of their customers. Nowhere is this truer than with Gen Z, a generation that expects seamless, personalized, and mobile-first experiences. Fat Brands, a global leader in franchising with over 2,300 locations and 18 brands, is making strides to capture this audience through innovative digital strategies.Understanding the Gen Z MindsetGen Z, comprising individuals born between 1997 and 2012, represents a significant portion of the consumer base. They are digital natives, having grown up with technology at their fingertips, and they expect brands to offer intuitive and efficient digital interactions. In our research, Loyalty360 found that Generation Z expects much more from a loyalty program than millennials. They want to save money, get additional perks, and earn rewards. They look for member-only discounts, coupons, and perks like free shipping and free samples. Lisa Cheatham, Vice President of Marketing Revenue Channels at Fat Brands, explains how the company has pivoted to address the demands of Gen Z consumers. "We've observed a couple of trends here," Cheatham says. "The pandemic accelerated the shift towards digital. Across all our brands, we've seen a surge in online ordering and mobile app usage.”For Gen Z, convenience and personalization are paramount. “They expect a seamless online ordering experience,” notes Cheatham. “That was a key insight as we developed our app. We wanted to make it as easy to use and flexible as possible.”

Mobile-First Rebuilt Quoting Experience, Viirtue Podcast, Revolutionizing MSP Operations with Mobile-First Quoting, AI Integration, and Bleeding-Edge VoIP Infrastructure at Viirtue, Part of 1 of 3, Automation of monthly billing with minimal clicks “For all the folks out there, that are paying for quoting tools, billing tools, you know, platform engineers and all that kind of stuff, what Virtue does is we put all that stuff together for you in one ecosystem and at a price that's very affordable for MSPs to be able to make super high margins,” says Dan Rosenrauch of Viirtue. “We see our MSPs making 70, 80 points oftentimes on the products that they're selling.” In this first podcast of a series focusing on Viirtue, we learn about this tool's development and how it benefits the Viirtue partner community. “Most platform providers have a quoting system … you either have to pay a significant amount of money to integrate if your quoting system will integrate with a tax engine, or something like that. We built all that. We include all those things for free.” A really wonderful free tool that Virtue has built for service providers so they can go from their entire experience from quote to cash in one platform. And most importantly, it's free. We learn how the simplification and automation not only improve the life of the partner, but it also improves CX, helps avoid tax driven issues and much more. “When that's all done, we can push it right to ConnectWise automatically for you. It's seamless and you can keep all your other MSP billing within that platform.” Visit www.viirtue.com

Maybe it's the eye of a hurricane, maybe it's the calm before a brand new storm. It's really hard to tell these days but after a disasterous rock-eating rollout, Google is pulling back on AI Overviews. The SEO world has mixed reactions to The Leak, which is turning out as predicted, much ado about something but we're not sure exactly what. Some sort of garbled sense of stability appears to be returning to the SERPs as the effects of the March 2024 Core Update and the slew of previous and attendent updates start to play together, more or less as Google planned, or so we think. As the dust settles in Googlandia, the effects of flaky search results are showing in user comments with 54% of people complaining they have to look through more results than they did five years ago to find information, often having to rephrase their queries altogether. Meanwhile, OpenAI workers are asking for the "right to warn" of potential dangers, TwiXter has made distributing porn great again while running paid ads against racist and antisemitic hashtags, Microsoft's Recall AI can be tricked into revealing ever-saved personal data, MozCon20 perceives a crisis, and Google says Mobile First is... actually, we're not exactly sure what they were getting at.

Welche Website-Struktur ist besser: eine flache oder eine tiefe, hierarchische? Auf diese Frage gab Google jetzt eine Antwort: Es kommt auf die Größe der Website an. Kann ein Unternehmensblog auch in Google News erscheinen? Grundsätzlich ist das möglich. Es kommt aber auf die Themen im Blog an. Nachdem Google die Umstellung auf Mobile First abgeschlossen hat, gibt es keinen Änderungsbedarf auf Websites mit separater Mobil- und Desktopversion. Allerdings sollte über eine Umstellung auf Responsive Design nachgedacht werden. Google zeigt auf manchen Suchergebnisseiten ein neues Feature mit dem Titel "Websites zu Orten" an. Allerdings ist dieses Suche-Feature bisher nur auf SERPs von Google Österreich zu sehen. Wenn die Google Search Console für bestimmte Seiten anzeigt, dass diese durch "noindex" blockiert sind, dieses "noindex" jedoch im HTML-Code, das die Google Search Console anzeigt, nicht zu finden ist, kann das an der Verwendung von JavaScript auf der betreffenden Seite liegen. full Zum Ausklang des Jahres gibt es in der letzten Ausgabe des Jahres 2023 von SEO im Ohr einige SEO-Tipps und ein neues Suche-Feature. no

On this week's episode of The Rebooting Show, I spoke to Tomiwa Aladekomo, CEO of Big Cabal, a Nigerian digital media company that's home to a pair of properties: Tech Cabal, which I describe as similar to TechCrunch but with more memes and Zikoko, a BuzzFeed-like culture publication. Big Cabal has raised $2.3 million in venture capital as it builds an independent digital media company in Africa's largest economy that's geared to shifting consumption patterns. Tomiwa and I discuss how Big Cabal looks to find white spaces in the market, making hard calls when to pull back on efforts like it recently did with a citizen journalism project, when brands can be pan-African vs market specific, and an on-the ground assessment of the impact of Semafor in its Africa push.

Show Notes: [00:00:03.320] - Mustansir Saifuddin Welcome. [00:00:04.180] - Mustansir Saifuddin To Tech-driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. In this episode, I welcome back David C. Williams. Listen in as David shares his thoughts on how organizations can use AI and RPA to move business forward. David dives into the role each plays and how they complement each other to solve business problems. [00:00:27.320] - Mustansir Saifuddin Hello, David. How are you? [00:00:37.300] - David C. Williams Must say I'm doing well. [00:00:42.460] - Mustansir Saifuddin Thank you, David. I'd like to welcome you back to my podcast, Tech-Driven Business. Today, I would like to talk about how RPA and AI is helping organizations. How does that sound to you? [00:00:59.900] - David C. Williams Wonderful. It's an exciting topic, brother. [00:01:07.610] - Mustansir Saifuddin Yeah, I know this is very near and dear to you. In our previous sessions, you had talked about at length, about RPA. I thought this will be a good segue into this conversation. [00:01:21.770] - David C. Williams Wonderful. [00:01:23.000] - Mustansir Saifuddin How is AI and RPA helping organizations increase efficiency in their operations and throughout their business in general? [00:01:34.740] - David C. Williams Well, when I think about it, RPA is, I would say all of hyper automation, but especially RPA, is one of the, if not the least, expensive way to solve a business problem with software. Artificial intelligence is the computing power we've dreamed of. When you take that type of computing power and intelligence and give it a efficient reach like RPA, you can go do a lot of cool things very quickly and it doesn't cost your arm and the leg. [00:02:17.250] - Mustansir Saifuddin I like the way you connected the two. So it seems like they are both connected at the hip in terms of how they are complementing each other. [00:02:29.080] - David C. Williams Yeah. Ai is a brain, right? And just like in a human body, a brain is great, but it can't move anything physically, right? And so you need all these extremities to go about the brain's business every day. That's how I think about AI and RPA coming together. You have the most intelligent computational brain that you could imagine or dream of with mobility of RPA that's so flexible, so ubiquitous, so applicable in so many ways that when you put the two together, it's exponential. [00:03:09.370] - Mustansir Saifuddin That is great. Let's talk about something in terms of leveraging the efficiency part, right? We talk about efficiencies in business, in our general lives, how we can do things faster, better. [00:03:25.920] - Mustansir Saifuddin When we talk about leveraging the efficiency of RPA and the capabilities of AI, what makes it beneficial to a business? Can you give some examples? Talk about that. [00:03:43.690] - David C. Williams Yeah, sure. If you think about the combination of the two things that you could do with this. Let's say you have a workforce that uses some knowledge management system. Well, every day that workforce thumbs through a virtual encyclopedia, right? They thumb through a virtual dictionary to go get information or they query it. [00:04:19.960] - David C. Williams With the advent of generative AI combined with RPA, what you could do is you could use AI to do the querying and summarization of all of that knowledge management. You can use RPA to quickly place that in so many different places to make it more accessible. Yep, we got it. We got the great brain that's going to take all of this stuff and compile it into something that's usable and easy to extract from. But how do I get it over to my field technicians, to my customer service group? How do I leverage that across several systems? Rpa and other components of hyperautomation are very prone, very likely to be the best options to go do that without having to reinvent the wheel. [00:05:18.730] - Mustansir Saifuddin That's a great example you use. That leads me into my next question about you've been doing hyper automation for quite some time, and you had some great success and gains that you saw with that implementation at AT&T. How do you see that journey evolved with the addition of AI now? [00:05:42.030] - David C. Williams Oh, man. Well, I would tell you, when it comes to things like RPA, my team does sit on the very forefront of where all that stuff is going, the way we use it, the conversations we even had with Microsoft on what they're building and enhancing and all that stuff. When I think about where it's going, though, and with AI, AI is going to take our most challenging parts of the development cycle, the most challenging parts of every business or many businesses, and it'll simplify. When I think of that, I think about a world where RPA is even more democratized, where literally any knowledge worker can use RPA. Instead of putting up PowerPoints, we can share prototypes. [00:06:45.660] - David C. Williams That is going to open up an entire universe of innovation and automation. [00:06:53.900] - Mustansir Saifuddin It seems almost like you are fast tracking a lot of things. [00:06:59.900] - David C. Williams Trying to, man. The funny thing about automation is the more you do it, the more folks want it, which is a good thing, but it is still a challenge. As we continue to grow the program, as we continue to help more of our colleagues, coworkers, customers, as more parts of the business depend on the things we create, we look for ways to continue to accelerate. There are a ton of quotes that we believe in and mantra we have on our team. One is that success is momentum over time. As we continue to... We found some success, we built some momentum. It's taking us a little bit of time as we continue to go down this path, we're going to keep driving more momentum. That is the expectation. Honestly, we're positioned for it. The more things that we build, the more we get to leverage. At one point, we were using bricks to build buildings, then we're using buildings to blocks to build cities, cities to build, etc. We're just still lead on that journey, accelerating and looking for ways to continue to accelerate. And that AI version of what I just spoke about is just one area. [00:08:16.220] - David C. Williams There's a ton of other things that we're looking at to automate so that we can accelerate everything that we're doing in that space. [00:08:24.640] - Mustansir Saifuddin That is awesome. When you think about opportunities, what opportunities do you see in this area where AI and RP are working together, the idea of creating this intelligent automation? Where do you see that going? [00:08:42.160] - David C. Williams Well, I think that at a certain point it's going to happen. For those that discover it or leverage it, priced, they will solve more complex business problems at a cheaper price, at a faster pace, and that will impact their competition and so forth and so forth. I think it's just a matter of time. These things, these operations, these big companies, whether you're talking telecom or healthcare, doesn't matter. The efficiency that they can drive helps them to be able to capitalize on the things that they do in those specific industries. Rpa is the least expensive hyperautomation is the least expensive way of solving a business problem with software. I haven't found anything cheaper. You put cognitive capabilities on top of that. That means the more complex things you can get after with the cheapest means of doing it. If you're doing that better than your competitor, look at our competitor. [00:09:57.630] - Mustansir Saifuddin Yeah, for sure. I mean, there's always this conversation about what technology is moving away from or getting a thing of the past. So when you hear people talk about who say that RPA is a thing of the past and the future is AI, what is your response to that? [00:10:19.710] - David C. Williams It's probably a laugh, a chuckle. It would be like saying, Oh, you know what? The Wright brothers have mastered human flight. We've discovered human flight. We all can fly now. There's no need for tires. No need for tires. Nobody needs tires anymore. It's impossible to even think like that. I would say the same about AI and RPA. There is no competition between the two. This is chocolate and peanut butter. They work better together. There is no competition between the two. There is no replacement of one or the other. Your brain will never replace your thumb. Never. I don't care how good of a brain you have. That thumb sure comes in handy. That's how I think about RPA is that it's not that this is the 3G and there's 4G. No, no, no, no, no. This is complementary. As long as you have one, you will want the other. That's what I think about AI and RPA. As long as you have one, you're going to want the other. If you have RPA, you want cognitive capabilities to make those automations smarter so you can automate more things. If you have AI, you want reach and you want quick reach because with AI you get quick answers. [00:11:54.510] - David C. Williams So you want quick, ubiquitous, far, far reaching reach. Rpa gives you that hyper automation gives you that. Putting up Lego blocks together in the right ways, you get exactly that. For those that say that, I guess maybe it may be a little telling, but I don't see it. [00:12:14.950] - Mustansir Saifuddin I love the example you use. That is really great. It just puts things in perspective. I think it's just like the one cannot live without the other. It's almost like a marriage made in heaven. That's awesome. [00:12:28.810] - David C. Williams It really is. I mean, when you think about just how fast AI is able to go get the most complex, sophisticated answers and responses to produce code in seconds, whole paragraphs in seconds, whole reports. When you think about that to have that level of intelligence with the an arm 8,000 miles long, you can do a lot. You can do a whole lot. And so that's, I think, the beauty of AI and RPA coming together. [00:13:10.790] - Mustansir Saifuddin That makes sense. Definitely. For sure. So I guess that takes me to my next point. Based on all that we covered today, what is that one key takeaway that you would want our listeners to leave the session today with? [00:13:29.000] - David C. Williams You got to embrace AI quickly. You got to move safely with it. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Rpa is still the future. Rpa still has a huge impact. I would say to many American Airlines is great for getting you from New York to Los Angeles. But if you need tacos delivered on Tuesday at 2:00 PM American Airlines is probably not the place that you want to call. There's probably better options, more suitable options. One is not better than the other. They just have different roles. That's how RPA and AI relationship are. They have different roles that are extremely complementary of each other. [00:14:23.860] - Mustansir Saifuddin I think that's a great way to put it. I like the example you use. I think it seems like a lot of times folks are thinking of one technology versus the other. The way you're explaining or you're rationalizing this whole thing is one is helping the other to be more productive, more efficient, and be more robust together as a business, as a technology that is working together to make things better. [00:14:58.570] - David C. Williams Must have said, I would tell you, brother, that one of the biggest mistakes people make in technology is they want to put all the eggs in one basket. Oh, we're going to have this one thing that's going to do all these things. You know what that's called? They did that a long time ago. It's called the Titanic. It doesn't work well that way. Even if you look at Netflix, Amazon, everything you're looking on a page, it's not just one application. There's so many applications working at once. You just see it in one user interface. And so the same way that those microservices work and they feel like one, but they're all separate is what hyper automation, what RPA is. It feels like one thing, but it's still separate. You put all these things together and you can create something magical versus trying to do this just one big, herculean, Titanic thing. And so I find that putting one and one together, if you get them close enough together, one in one is 11. You get further, faster, you get something exponential. You can skip all the other stuff. That's how I think about AI and RPA coming together. [00:16:17.120] - David C. Williams You get further, faster putting them together. [00:16:20.620] - Mustansir Saifuddin For sure. Now it's been a great session, David. And thank you for sharing your thoughts and your insights into this discussion point. I mean, definitely, there is a lot of progress that needs to be made in this field where both AI and RPA coming together, helping businesses and making our lives better. So I really appreciate your time. Thank you so much for joining our session today. [00:16:49.500] - David C. Williams Thank you. Have a great day. [00:16:58.250] - Mustansir Saifuddin Thanks for listening to Tech-driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. David gave a great overview on the power of AI and rpa.

This episode features an interview with Hannah Bolte, Director of Marketing and Communications at Lozier Corporation. Starting as a print and television reporter, Hannah uses her journalism expertise to craft internal, external, and crisis communications strategies and content.In this episode, Amanda and Hannah discuss Lozier's mobile-first employee experience platform, reaching deskless workers, and intentional communications.-------------------"The bulk of our employees work in a manufacturing facility. They don't have email access and their jobs are in the plant, it's not sitting at a desk. We approached the intranet in finding an intranet that would work for us with a sense of, ‘We can't reach those employees right now,' aside from all those things that you said, like a flier in the break room, providing information to supervisors to say at startup meetings. But, how do you engage them beyond their day-to-day? How do you make them feel like they're part of something bigger? How do you make them realize their impact on the company, on the community? So, mobile-first was a non-negotiable thing for us. We had to make sure that it was accessible by all of our employees at any point in time." – Hannah Bolte-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(01:47): Hannah's background*(08:09): Segment: Story Time*(09:13): Why Lozier created a mobile-first employee experience platform*(11:58): Segment: Getting Tactical*(12:27): Hannah explains the ins and outs of LozierLink*(29:30): Segment: Ripped From The Headlines*(32:49): Segment: Asking For a Friend-------------------Links:Connect with Hannah on LinkedInConnect with Lozier Corporation on LinkedInConnect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast
