“We're going beyond just contact center AI—this is CX-first orchestration across the entire enterprise,” said Elizabeth Tobey, Vice President of Marketing at NICE, as the company recently revealed its latest innovation—CXone Empower Orchestrator—and walked away with two top honors at Enterprise Connect 2025: Best CX Innovation and Best of Show. In a live Technology Reseller News podcast, Tobey shared how Empower Orchestrator marks a new era for enterprise AI—one that is measurable, scalable, and tied to tangible outcomes. CXone Empower Orchestrator is built around an AI-powered co-pilot design that allows organizations to analyze, automate, and optimize workflows across the full customer journey. “It's not just about improving one part of the customer experience,” Tobey noted. “It's about connecting the front office and back office, and turning insights into immediate, scalable action.” The result is greater agility and faster time-to-value, with automation tasks that once took days or weeks now completed in minutes. Critically, Empower Orchestrator also features a continuous feedback loop, even when tasks are escalated to live agents. “Every facet of the organization gets better through this data,” said Tobey. “This is AI moving from hype to highly functional.” Tobey emphasized NICE's commitment to a CX-first philosophy, noting that the platform touches every part of the business: from sales and marketing to fulfillment and support. “Customer experience and customer service incorporate the entire business,” she said. “Every interaction matters—and that's what we're connecting.” Beyond the enterprise, the launch presents new opportunities for NICE's global partner network. “Partners are seeing this as a way to help customers move faster,” Tobey shared. “And they're excited to be part of it.” The announcement also coincided with a milestone: the eighth anniversary of Amazon Connect, originally launched at Enterprise Connect in 2017. For NICE—and for Tobey, who was part of that original AWS launch team—it's a full-circle moment that reflects how far CX technology has come.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has launched the TCS Digital Twindex report for the manufacturing industry at Hannover Messe 2025 in Germany - one of the world's leading industrial technology trade fairs. The report reveals how AI-powered digital twins are transforming manufacturing, driving efficiency, adaptability, and resilience. Drawing on insights from industry pioneers and technology leaders such as Siemens, Schneider Electric, NVIDIA, and JLR, alongside TCS executives and futurists, the report presents an in-depth view of digital twin technology adoption and the rise of AI-powered anticipatory ecosystems. Through qualitative research, it captures curated, future-focused conversations and insights from interviews with industry leaders. TCS's multi-decade presence in the manufacturing industry, deep domain expertise, advanced digital twin solutions, and cutting-edge Generative AI capabilities further lend depth to the report and credibility to shape the dialogue on adaptive, AI-first enterprises. Anupam Singhal, President - Manufacturing, TCS, said, "We stand at the threshold of a new manufacturing era, driven by digital twins, Generative AI, quantum-powered advancements, and a deep commitment to everything from safety to sustainability. The 'TCS Digital Twindex Report for Future-Ready Manufacturing' encapsulates our vision for building intelligent, future-ready, and adaptive enterprises - redefining industry competitiveness and enriching the lives of citizens and communities around the globe." Amid the rising need for automation and sustainability, the report offers a strategic blueprint for manufacturers to thrive in an AI and digital twin-driven era. It highlights how AI-powered digital twins, collaborative robots (Cobots), agentic AI, physical AI, and edge computing are converging to create smarter, more sustainable, and human-centric manufacturing ecosystems - enabling the shift toward anticipatory, AI-first enterprises. Overall, the TCS Digital Twindex report identifies five key trends shaping the future of manufacturing: Industry 4.5 and Beyond: The next phase of manufacturing evolution, where AI, automation, and digital twins converge to enable anticipatory, adaptive enterprises. Digital Twins as Real-Time Data Fabric: Acting as the connective tissue for enterprise intelligence - synchronizing data in real time to drive predictive insights and operational resilience. AI as Orchestrator of Intelligence: AI systems are evolving beyond narrow use cases to orchestrate decisions, simulations, and optimizations across the manufacturing value chain. Modular and Intelligent Manufacturing: The shift toward decentralized, plug-and-play production models powered by AI and digital twins, enabling hyper-localized, responsive, and intelligent manufacturing at scale. The Human-AI Symphony in Manufacturing: AI will play a growing role in enhancing human capabilities, supporting better decision-making, improving safety, and enabling seamless collaboration between people and intelligent systems on the factory floor. Rev Lebaredian, VP of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA, "Physical and Industrial AI are born in simulation, where they can be tested and validated before being deployed in the real world. By bridging the gap between the digital and physical, the world's heavy industries are paving the way for software-defined manufacturing and intelligent, autonomous systems." As manufacturers embrace AI and automation, experts underscore that digitization is the essential first step. Without digitized processes, true automation and intelligence deployment remain out of reach. Helenio Gilabert, Global Head of Offer Creation, Industrial Automation Services, Schneider Electric, said, "If it's not digitized, you cannot automate it. If you cannot automate it, you cannot deploy intelligence on top of it. To fully harness AI and digital twins, start with a clear digitization strategy - only then can you move toward AI-driven o...

If you've been immersed in church culture, the narrative from Daniel chapter three is likely etched in your memory. It recounts the unwavering faith of three young men in the face of adversity. It's a story that challenges us to reflect on our own daily choices. What—or whom—are we truly worshiping? This question holds profound significance because what we worship shapes our lives. Worship, at its core, is about assigning ultimate worth to someone or something. In essence, we are all worshipers, directing our deepest devotion towards various objects or ideals. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's response to King Nebuchadnezzar is a testament to their unwavering faith: "Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” Daniel 3:16-18 Their response exemplifies a rare blend of respect and noncompliance. While acknowledging the king's authority, they place their trust firmly in God. Crucially, they refrain from presuming how God will act. Their stance is clear: "God can save us, but even if He chooses not to, our allegiance to Him remains unwavering." This encapsulates the essence of biblical faith: the confidence to proclaim, "I know my God is able to deliver me," coupled with the submission and humility to declare, "Yet even if He does not, I will still trust in Him." It echoes the resolve of Job, who said, "Though he slay me, I will hope in him," and reflects the attitude of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. “Not my will, but yours." As Max Lucado poignantly puts it, "Sometimes God chooses to calm the storm, but if he doesn't, he is always there to calm his children in the midst of the storm." While most Christians affirm God's omnipotence, fewer embody a willingness to align their will with His. God isn't a celestial wish-granter or a lucky charm. He is the sovereign Creator, Sustainer, and Orchestrator of all existence. If Genesis 1:1 is true, then everything rests in His hands.

Welcome to OrchestrateSales.com's Inside Sales Enablement Season 3 Enablement History. Where we hop in the Enablement Time machine and explore the past, present, and future of the elevation of a profession. On ISEs3 Episode 12, Erich Starrett is joined by Dr. Shawn Fowler, whom he originally met when Shawn was VP, Sales Enablement (a true cross-functional #Orchestrator) at SalesLoft, and a gracious host of his first executive board meeting as President of the Atlanta Revenue Enablement Society back in early 2020. Before then, Dr. Fowler had been the World Wide Director of Enablement & Learning for IBM, and is now a Partner in his own sales strategy and sales enablement consulting venture: RevenueReady.Highlights from the episode include...PAST:⌛️ Shawn "stumbled" into the profession working as the first services salesperson for Silverpop - essentially selling desired business outcomes. The SVP of sales, Todd McCormick, announced he was hiring a head of sales enablement and the hiring manager Drew Pronté said "hey, the CEO said that you should probably be the guy." ⌛️ He didn't know what sales enablement was. At the time he was pursuing a PhD in educational psychology so he combined what he learned from working as a sales engineer and as a services salesperson with what he knew about how psychology of learning works ...and he found himself implementing their first ever Sales Enablement program. ⌛️ His first Sales Enablement event was hosted by SiriusDecisions in Atlanta. "I was thinking we need to start something where we do that on a regular basis. This was easily the most valuable thing that I've done in the last six months."⌛️ "Getting a seat at the table was probably the biggest factor in helping me be successful in sales enablement."⌛️ Silverpop was purchased shortly thereafter by IBM when he then developed and executed their global expansion go-to-market plan. "I had the opportunity to see what it looks like in a much bigger level. IBM is basically a handful of multi billion dollar companies all put together. And I was part of one of those multi billion dollar companies inside of it. I got to see how these really big enterprise complex sales work, how you have to enable people across multiple different continents."⌛️ Shaw was responsible for internal sales enablement including customer service and sales engineers and external - partner enablement - as well. "I think it makes a lot of sense, honestly, when you are in that position you have the opportunity to identify and eliminate a lot of the organizational issues that negatively affects your customer and that negatively affect the team as well."PRESENT:
In Episode 10 Dr. Brian Lambert is back in the Orchestrate Sales Studios with Erich Starrett, for part two of a two-part interview. Dr. Lambert is a Digital Value Architect at Elastic, co-founder of OSC, SES, and co-host of Inside Sales Enablement seasons one and two.In this segment we pivot from past to present and future, with an emphasis on the impact of AI and the new data = fuel paradigm. Highlights from the second part of our interview:PAST⌛️ What is Brian's take on the recent move by primary research companies to shift from "Sales" to "Revenue" and the Sales Enablement Society following suit to Revenue Enablement Society?PRESENT⌛️ Now that Brian has moved into the Marketing organization, what is his experience like compared to the Sales or Ops or Talent Enablement functions?⌛️ How does data collection compare among the functions?⌛️ What would it mean to truly be Revenue Enablement?⌛️ In line with recent interactions with @Hilary Headlee, Erich suggests the best first step towards true Revenue Enablement may be for Enablement leaders to engage with #RevOps and Brian reacts to the suggestion.FUTURE⌛️ Brian talks about the shift in focus from company to employee to customer ...and now we are shifting towards a data focus. A data centric view. One for which individuals, functions, and entire companies are ill prepared to pivot towards and fully embrace and benefit.⌛️ A potential new paradigm of looking at data less as a byproduct of doing work and more as a fuel for the digital economy. ⌛️ The promise and potential hurdles of AI for Enablement. >>> Understanding, embracing, and tapping into a hybrid human + artificial "collective intelligence." >>> Using AI to generate structured inputs that we as humans synthesize vs. outputs that leave the creativity to an unknown artificial third party. ⌛️ A "future of work" vision where we understand how data becomes information, how that information becomes knowledge, how that knowledge becomes insight, how that insight gets leveraged to make decisions and then how to effectively put AI on top of that to fully leverage what makes the company unique. ⌛️ There are a series of continuums:>>> Data awareness: From data aware to data led.>>> Organizational: From data "laying everywhere" to organized digital mastery.>>> Enablement: From being an Analyzer to an Orchestrator removing silos and creating the organizational structure of tomorrow"You have to be a synthesizer of all this information and AI can help you, but if you cannot synthesize this stuff across marketing operations, training, sales, customers, let's not forget, then you're not going to be an Orchestrator."Please click
Erich Starrett hosts Dr. Brian Lambert - co-founder of OSC, SES, and co-host of Inside Sales Enablement seasons one and two, back in the Orchestrate Sales Studios, for part one of two. A treat to have the epitome of past, present, and future enablement back on the property.And yes, of course he was there at the original founding and one of the ~hundred four founders I'm on a mission to interview over time was right there with @Scott Santucci and the other 99-ish.And BOY has it grown! He did a Google search on Sales Enablement way back in 2008 and got a hundred hits. He just did it again in the pre show and ...how about six million!Brian architected an early "PhD in Sales" building on an organizational behavior degree with an emphasis on sales in his dissertation, and multiple publications in academic journals. Having also been cited over 200 times he may just be on Dr. Rob Peterson and Howard Dover's heels. He's been a salesperson with a quota. He's been a sales manager with a team. He's been a sales enablement manager with a team of ~20. And most recently he took on the role of Big Data Value Architect at Elastic, where he is in a marketing messaging role, messaging enablement.Highlights from the first part of our interviewPAST... ⌛️ Brian's reaction when he first heard the word "Enablement." (hint: it wasn't positive) ⌛️ Brian first crossed paths with @Scott Santucci at a conference an heard him speak about his blueprint. That's where he originally heard Scott share the vision of value architects, communicating value and being orchestrators.⌛️ When at Forrester, Scott had to do a lot of work to sell this idea that there were people doing "this thing called Enablement." That people where challenging the status quo siloed view and breaking down the walls among sales training, marketing, ops, and other functions.PRESENT⌛️ Since corporate silos were born of the industrial revolution, why are they still the status quo and such a massive challenge in a hyper connected digital world where technically silos shouldn't matter? ⌛️ What does it mean to be an #Orchestrator? Why is it important?⌛️ What if Enablement is not the right home for orchestration?⌛️ Of the "four flavors of Sales Enablement" set forth at the SES founding, what percentage of each flavor would most who identify as Sales / Revenue enablement be?

A conversation with Keith Agoada, CEO and co-founder of Producers Trust, a global network of farmers, farmer groups, and producer groups, about indoor greenhouse growing, aggregation, sorting, quality control, packaging, processing, and more.From indoor greenhouse growing to founding a company, which is now turning into a regenerative landscape orchestrator, and why we are in the perfect storm at the moment. In the last 12 months, or even the last 6 months, we have seen an explosion of interest from corporates in value chain regeneration. Why now? A mix of shifting consumer demand, an European antideforestation law, and genuine massive long-term supply chain issues.What does that mean for small holder farmers who are generally completely excluded from these global markets, how can they participate and benefit?---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag.

It's that time of year where the tech world descends on Las Vegas for CES. On this week's show we discuss a few announcements that we found interesting. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: Roku Introduces High-End ‘Pro Series' Lineup of Its Self-Branded Smart TVs Netflix Released 16% Fewer Shows in 2023 Roku To Launch Pro Series TVs Sony's prototype TV backlight tech and it looks amazing Other: The BEST Streaming! | Wakanda Forever 4K UHD HDR Streaming Review CES 2024 TCL 115” Mini LED TV - For 2024, TCL introduces the world's largest QD Mini LED TV! With a 115” screen, the new mega-size 115QM89 truly becomes the ultimate home theater. This model includes QD Mini LED ULTIMATE with a massively high 20,000 dimming zones. It also incorporates the TCL AIPQ ULTRA Processor, as even more horsepower is needed for such high zone control to ensure huge, yet pristine images. This new 115” model includes all the features of the other QM8 models, plus a 6.2.2 Channel Speaker system for truly room filling sound. Full Press Release on all Mini LED TVs can be found here. Estimated Price $20K Also - TCL introduced several new product lines with NextGen TV tuners. This comes after LG said it would not include ATSC 3.0 tuners back in September due to patent concerns. TCL Q75H is a 5.1.2 Channel Dolby Atmos Sound Bar. In addition to the features of the S55H, the Q75H includes the Ray-Danz Acoustic Wave-Guide Reflectors to direct sound across the width of the room. This model also includes a Center Channel Speaker, built-in tweeters, built-in up-firing Dolby Atmos Speakers, and built-in Side Surround Speakers. TCL Q85H is a 7.1.4 Channel Dolby Atmos Sound Bar. Stepping up from the Q75H, it adds rear speakers that are wireless but also include rear up-firing Dolby Atmos Drivers. The Q85H creates a truly enveloping sound, and a sound experience that needs to be auditioned. Press Release Hisense 110UX TV - The 110UX incorporates over 40,000 backlight zones across a 110-inch screen. That high-output mini-LEDs produce 10,000-nit maximum brightness which is about five times brighter than the typical high end TV. Hisense says the 110UX can achieve 95% of the BT.2020 Spec. No mention on HDR support but why would they build a TV like this and not support Dolby Vision? No pricing of availability has been announced. Press Release LG Transparent OLED - Called OLED T, it's only available in 77”. It uses LG's wireless transmission technology so the only wire running to the television is power. A separate box that can be placed up to 30 feet away from the TV transmits source video. Future versions could go bigger or smaller depending on customer feedback. Pricing has not been set. Also - LG revealed that the company's new OLED TVs for 2024 will be the first sets to feature a Dolby Vision Filmmaker Mode. Filmmaker Mode, it's a standardized picture preset for TVs that was developed by the UHD Alliance in response to filmmakers unhappy with the way their films looked on most TVs, with inaccurate color and aggressive motion “smoothing” being two of the main sticking points. Full LG CES info can be found here Philips 5000 Series Wi-Fi Palm Recognition Smart Deadbolt - With this Philips smart lock, the world's first deadbolt with palm recognition, enjoy the most secure and convenient unlocking experience. Or unlock with a key, PIN code, or the Philips Home Access app to make returning home stress-free. The Smart Lock will go on sale in the US early this year and will retail for $360. Lockly - With Visage you can unlock your property by simply approaching it, or with your Apple Home Keys or Apple Watch. Integrate with your smart home devices with Matter™ Arriving this summer. Samsung Anti Glare OLED - Samsung has developed a Glare-Free technology that it claims will be great in both low light and brighter rooms, won't be affected by viewing angles, and won't mess with contrast or colors either. Look for this in the S95D and S90D. People who have seen this tech say “It's where light goes to die”. Also - Samsung launched a new “map view” for SmartThings. It shows an interactive map of your home complete with the location of any smart home devices within. Maps can be created manually or automatically with the help of a photo of an existing floor plan or with a lidar-enabled Samsung device, like the company's forthcoming Ballie robot or new JetBot robot vacuum. Maps have to be generated using the SmartThings app on a smartphone or tablet. But once that's done, they'll display on supported Samsung TVs, the screen of the Samsung Family Hub smart fridge and Samsung's M8 monitors. Nanoleaf - Nanoleaf announced the launch of several new Matter-enabled lighting options, including its first outdoor lights. The company is also debuting a new music feature using Orchestrator software for the Nanoleaf Desktop App, which will use real-time music analysis to create light shows that match with the beat. Orchestrator is able to connect directly with the sound source of a computer for a more accurate real-time audio visual experience. They are also taking pre-orders for the Nanoleaf Skylight. The Skylight is a square-shaped modular ceiling light panel setup that is hardwired and supports up to 100 squares. Prices start at $250 for a 3 panel starter pack. SVS Ultra Evolution Series - The design is not what you typically see in a speaker. It has curves and interesting angles. Being a person who builds speakers I understand that where you place the drivers impacts how they sound. So I can only assume it means that SVS has spent a lot of time designing an enclosure that gives you the most precise sound available. I am looking forward to getting some of these to evaluate. The speakers are scheduled to begin shipping near the end of Q1 2024. No word on pricing.

On today's Heavy Networking we explore the edge. But where is the edge? In today's conversation with sponsor VMware, it's a remote location where data is being generated. It could be end users in a branch office, or IoT devices and sensors on a factory floor. These edge locations needs integrated compute and networking to run application workloads while also being able to connect to cloud applications and services. We discuss the VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator, which provides unified management for networking and compute at remote sites.
