Chordiant Software featured in TechDecisions: “Who’s There? Customer Service Steps to Forefrontâ€?

Chordiant Software News: The rock band The Who is known for asking the musical question: “Who Are You?” But it is the insurance industry (and fans of the TV show CSI) that often echoes lead singer Roger Daltrey’s next line, “I really want to know.”

JDSU featured in Beneath the Brand: “Changing Brand Perception Using Color�

JDSU News: Without realizing it, we make decisions every single day about color and how it affects us. Many of our decisions regarding products and brands revolve around color. Does black make me look sexy? Is blue cool or cold?  Do brown pants make me look fat? Most men won’t carry a pink phone, and many would balk at wearing a pink shirt. Wedding dresses, for the most part, are white. Green is the color of money. Red could mean sex, or it could mean stop. Color, physically, envelops our lives and affects our decision-making.

Chordiant Software featured in ebizQ: “Making BI Actionable Through Decisioning Capabilities�

A 19th-Century Mathematician Finally Proves Himself

Computer History Museum News: Charles Babbage, the man whom many consider to be the father of modern computing, never got to complete any of his life’s work. The Victorian gentleman was a brilliant mathematician, but he wasn’t very good at politics and fundraising, so he never got the financial backing to finish any of his elaborate machine designs. For decades, even his fans weren’t certain whether his computing machines would have worked.
