Being at the forefront of the battle against Covid-19, health workers worldwide are working day and night, under extreme conditions, to treat infected patients and ensure the continuity of health services for their communities. While doing so, doctors, nurses, and health professionals face two unprecedented challenges. First, they need to stay continuously informed on accumulating trial treatment research and frequently changing clinic protocols for this little-known disease. Second, they must be able to do that while social distancing from their colleagues and working in small shifts to minimize contagion risk. Additionally, health providers find themselves at the tip of the spear in promoting the public's understanding and education that are essential to mitigating this crisis effectively. They need to be able to  reach their audiences online and through remote communication. Getting the Message to the Masses In times of crisis, people seek news, data, and advice and digital experiences for healthcare become more important than ever before.  Simultaneously, their attention span is limited. For this reason, emergency information must be made available and accessible yet digestible and comprehensive. Video as part of a digital engagement strategy helps overcome language and cultural barriers and simplify even the most complex and abstract information. Therefore, it's ideal for educating people on any topic, from how to put a mask properly to the symptoms indicative of Covid-19. It also strikes a deeper connection and elicits stronger emotional responses, making it more memorable and effective. Studies show that viewers retain 95% of a video's message compared to only 10% of textual information. Audiences across all generations turn to video today as their preferred method for everyday learning (68%). Providing Impactful Information at the Right Time Frequent communication and real-time response are crucial during a crisis. News has to get out quickly and be easily updated...

If you do business online, you need to worry about the full range of your visitors’ digital customer experiences. What if you could create, manage and deliver engaging and personalized omnichannel experiences with a single digital experience platform?

Looking back at the year so far, I am thankful for all we have accomplished and excited for what is to come in 2020. Our platform has progressed so much in the few short months since we transitioned to HCL, and the genuine enthusiasm and energy around the platform is palpable. The end of the year is an excellent time for reflection, so let’s take a look at what we have checked off our list, including the release of HCL DX 9.5 (our first new release in almost two years!), and consider some of the future gifts that are coming soon.   Innovative capabilities providing benefits now: Unsurpassed platform standardization & flexibility:  Production Docker and Kubernetes support means initial install and subsequent updates of HCL DX software take minutes, not hours or days.  It provides unmatched flexibility and portability, so you can select the deployment model and platform of your choice. Liberated experience delivery for front-end developers:  Developers can deliver cutting-edge experiences to any and all digital touchpoints, leveraging the latest front-end frameworks and the new self-describing OpenAPI set of REST services. Greater consistency across touchpoints lead to more revenue opportunities. Accelerated time to market with a re-imagined UI:  A new practitioner experience, a beautiful set of out-of-box templates, as well as the forthcoming native digital asset management capability, help empower business users to create, manage and publish memorable experiences more effectively — ultimately delivering the experience customers demand in a timelier manner. Deployment options to dramatically reduce Total Cost of Ownership:  Kubernetes orchestration for automated provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, self-healing (and more) dramatically reduces TCO. Compelling advancements coming soon: Media Library: This lightweight Digital Asset Management solution helps deliver engaging, consistently branded experiences across digital channels by centrally managing and enabling rich media assets (videos, images and documents).  Business...
