Leave a comment

The award, certified by Uptime Institute Professional Services, is recognition of Inzai 1’s operational sustainability  

LONDON, Feb. 16, 2021 — Colt Data Centre Services‘ (DCS) Inzai 1 data centre has today been awarded the Stamp of Approval for Management & Operations (M&O) by Uptime Institute Professional Services.

The M&O Stamp of Approval outlines the necessary measures data centre owners and operators must take to achieve the maximum uptime of their existing data centres. To earn the award, companies must conduct risk analysis on their selected data centre and take the necessary steps to mitigate against these risks.

Adherence to the Management and Operations measures has been proven to minimise the chances of human error, which is the number one cause of data centre downtime. It also allows companies to get the most out of their data centres and related assets.

The M&O Stamp of Approval was awarded to Colt DCS’ Inzai 1 data centre following a document assessment in May 2020. This was subsequently followed by a site verification assessment, which was performed from 30th November 2020 to 2nd December 2020. The award is valid until 10th December 2022.

Hiroshige Sugihara, Vice President, Head of Asia-Pacific, Colt DCS, said: "This award demonstrates the high standards we hold ourselves to at Colt DCS. To make sure our customers get the best possible service, we do everything we can to avoid the risk of downtime and, as this award shows, we’re succeeding. 

"This award, in addition to the launch of our Inzai 3 hyperscale facility in 2020, also highlights our commitment in helping Japan achieve its digital transformation goals, set out by Yoshihide Suga, the Japanese Prime Minister. Colt DCS’ data centres provide a demonstrably stable and expansive platform to support growth for countries and companies alike."

Inzai 1 is part of Colt DCS’ three-site campus, which also possesses Inzai 2 and 3, both of which are hyperscale facilities. Inzai 1 remains one of the most secure, high-specification data centres in Japan. The facility is situated in Inzai city, Chiba, which is a low earthquake risk location just 40 minutes from Tokyo.

Leave a comment

SYDNEY, Feb. 13, 2021 — UserTesting, a leading on-demand Human Insight platform, conducted a survey capturing the responses of Australian men and women around Valentine’s 2021.

Women also expressed that they would like to spend a quiet evening watching movies, exchanging gifts, and cooking meals with their partners. Whereas a majority of men are looking for romantic getaways on the beaches and planning hiking/other outdoor activities.

Other findings from the study were:

While remaining said Jewelry (necklace, ring, watch) and candles/home accessories. However, with men, there weren’t any popular choices.

Over-the-top fairy tale romantic ideas to surprise your partner is a faded concept
The survey found that 70% of men said that planning a valentine’s date is a mutual affair with their significant other compared to only 40% of women who said the same. Another 40% of women and 20% of men stated that they were solely responsible for planning activities and 10% of men stated activities were planned solely by their partner.

Cupid arrowing retail over romance?

The only email signature solution vendor that offers an ‘out-of-the-box’ integration with Customer Thermometer

FARNBOROUGH, England, Feb. 9, 2021 — Exclaimer Group today announces the acquisition of Customer Thermometer, the award-winning survey platform focused on real-time, actionable feedback from customers and employees.

Using 1-click surveys, Customer Thermometer delivers a total view of customer satisfaction at key points of the customer lifecycle and a visible sign of dedication to customer feedback and service.

This in turn enables companies to respond immediately to resolve problems for unhappy customers and improve those interactions for other customers.

Exclaimer is now the only email signature solution that offers an ‘out-of-the-box’ integration with Customer Thermometer. The fully rounded feature-set provides the following benefits:

  • Easy integration of surveys in emails, a ‘drag and drop’ interface, and quick deployment throughout an organisation. This allows a far greater survey reach for a true picture of overall company performance
  • Universally applied surveys to all corporate email through the server-side deployment of signature templates
  • Enriched reporting and more granular insights on survey outcomes are made possible due to directory data integration

With Customer Thermometer, businesses can improve customer relationships by identifying problems quickly and in real-time, increasing customer retention. The new feature also allows companies to gain insight into their own employee engagement via Exclaimer Cloud’s ability to target intra-company messages.

Commenting on the acquisition, Heath Davies, CEO Exclaimer, says: "This acquisition will allow business customers to get increased value from every email they send. We are on a journey to give our customers a greater benefit from business’ most ubiquitous communication tool, email. Ultimately, we’re helping customers reimagine the potential they have within email today."

Lindsay Willott, Founder, Customer Thermometer comments: "We are seeing an ever-greater shift towards customer experience across sectors, as businesses rapidly come to understand how critical it is to both lifetime value and reputation management. We are delighted to join the Exclaimer team at this most exciting of times. This partnership gives email users the world over the opportunity to get superb insight and feedback from existing customer touchpoints."

Singapore Excels at Biggest Work-From-Home Experiment of Our Time: Lark Study

Leave a comment
  • New study reveals 94% of PMEs want flexible work to stay, but need proper tools for collaboration
  • Highlights importance of collaboration tools in not only ensuring work efficiency and productivity, but also in making work more enjoyable

SINGAPORE, Jan. 28, 2021 — As Singapore moves into Phase 3, employees are beginning to think about life after the pandemic including the possibilities on how they can restructure their time outside of the traditional 9-to-5 work-week model. Nearly a year ago, non-essential employees were forced to work from home on a consistent basis – many for the first time. Now, a recent study conducted by Lark, a next-generation digital collaboration suite, revealed that what started as a short-term measure is what Singapore Professionals, Managers, and Executives (PMEs) are expecting moving forward.

According to the study, Singapore is poised to offer flexible work arrangements for the long term, but there is still a need to ensure that the right collaboration tool is in place to foster a positive work environment. The study highlights the importance of investing in a collaboration tool that not only enables work efficiency and productivity, but also makes work more enjoyable.

"Singapore organizations are faced with a growing interest in flexible work arrangements and must find ways to adopt and integrate these practices into work routines, or they will see a decrease in employee satisfaction," said Joey Lim, Lark Vice President of Commercial – Asia. "It is understandable that one major concern about this type of arrangement is the impact on team collaboration. With a dispersed workforce, and the option to work remotely, more employees are relying on collaboration tools to communicate, connect, and at the end of the day, get the job done."

To help organizations better understand the impact of flexible work arrangements on employees and the organization at large, Lark and Milieu Insight, a consumer data analytics firm, rolled out a study to 1,000 PMEs in Singapore.

The study reveals several key findings in the following areas:

  • The perception of flexible work and existing collaboration tools
  • The usage of collaboration tools
  • The needs for the future

Current perception of flexible work and existing collaboration tools

During the biggest work-from-home experiment of our time, Singapore employees have far exceeded expectations proving the nation is well positioned for flexible work arrangements in the long-term. Furthermore, 94% of PMEs want flexible work to stay, which means organizations need to ensure that flexible work is the default work arrangement and should go the distance to ensure their employees are supported with the right setup.

This sentiment is consistent across all age groups and is relatively stable across industries such as Healthcare, Architecture, Computer & Technology, Education, Financial Services, Transportation, and Science & Research. This is also consistent across job levels, business decision makers, and the work sector.

However, only one in five PMEs are very satisfied with their current remote and online collaboration work setup. Half are somewhat satisfied while the rest are neutral (22%) or dissatisfied (11%). This also highlights a possible mismatch in satisfaction and perceived adoption among different levels of employees with the decision makers (director level and above) skewing higher (40%) vs the total respondents (25%) in saying their team is very well adapted to using collaboration tools. This disconnect between senior and junior level employees’ views further underscores the importance of ensuring senior members take an active role in utilizing collaboration tools to ensure they understand how they’re being used. It’s equally important for senior members to take steps to collect feedback from their teams on how well the tools are being used, and deploy a tool that enables aligned satisfaction and adoption across all levels.

Usage of collaboration tools

Organizations need to focus on ensuring seamless collaboration across all channels of communication. This starts with first understanding which collaboration features employees most rely on, then ensuring that the proper tools are in place to accommodate multi-channel collaboration.

While the extent of tasks used in a collaboration suite vary depending on the employment position, the top three tasks amongst Singapore PMEs are the same: Chat/messaging, video meetings and emails. To make collaboration between these various channels more seamless, it’s important to deploy a collaboration tool that can cover all three major tasks and more, where possible.

With the rise of remote collaboration, the study also finds that Singapore PMEs use these three features for up to half of their day: Video Meetings (94%), File Search (90%) and Messaging (80%), with one in five PMEs noting messaging takes up more than 50% of their work day.

Future needs to ensure a satisfied workforce

7 in 10 PMEs agree that having one tool to support all their needs is essential in making work more enjoyable, highlighting the need for organizations to look at collaboration tools beyond just the purpose of work productivity. Such a factor is important given today’s work environment and the need to ensure a positive work experience even when you don’t always see each other.

In fact, when asked what they felt the key benefits of having the right collaboration tool were, 64% stated they felt it makes their work easier, followed by 60% who stated it makes them more productive. Furthermore, this was followed by 39% who stated having the right tools can make work more enjoyable – a sentiment shared across all age groups but most strongly felt among the millennial generation (25-39 years old).

"2020 was a difficult year for many as we were forced to stay indoors, adjusting to a new way of life and work. The uplifting results of this study proves that Singapore PMEs are resilient and have done extremely well adapting to the new normal," said Lim. "However, this study highlights the importance of investing in a collaboration tool that not only enables work efficiency and productivity, but also makes work more enjoyable."
