Enter the acceleration of social commerce. “The role of social media is changing. It is now both the megaphone and the marketplace for brands. It is the new search, the new storefront and the new helpdesk,” observes Etienne Mérineau, senior director of marketing at Hootsuite.

5G is the talk of the town these days — up there with Web3 and the metaverse. But just like those other technologies, 5G is less a specific solution and more of an enabler. What matters most is what you do with it. So what can retailers do with 5G? There are an almost infinite number of answers, but the long and the short of it is that 5G will enable merchants to perform intricate digital tasks faster and on a much larger scale. “5G is really three things — speed , latency and massive connectivi

A long while (especially when compared to the typical tech lifecycle), but that doesn’t mean it had stagnated. Part of the reason for that is that the focus of CCDE has long been on training network design professionals to think critically about network design and business practices, rather than focusing on the technology of the moment.
