Students on Transact-enabled campuses can order from off-campus restaurants through the Grubhub Marketplace using their campus card

Grubhub, a leading food ordering and delivery marketplace, and Transact Campus “Transact,” the award-winning leader in innovative mobile credential and payment solutions for a connected campus, today announced a partnership to integrate Grubhub’s Marketplace into Transact Mobile Ordering, a robust mobile-first application with capabilities for food ordering, pickup and delivery. This first-of-its-kind integration enables students at campuses where Transact’s mobile app is enabled to order from on- and off-campus restaurants via Grubhub’s restaurant network using their campus card for a seamless ordering experience.

Through this integration, students expand their dining options by toggling between on- and off-campus restaurants, all within the Transact Mobile Ordering app. When students select the off-campus option, they will see available Grubhub restaurants for pickup or delivery and pay for meals using their campus card where applicable. Students will be able to access Grubhub’s entire network of more than 365,000 restaurants nationwide and place orders no matter where they are. The integration will also support local restaurants by providing them with a new channel to market their business and generate more orders from the campus community.

Campus environments are ripe for innovation, and we’re looking forward to working with Transact to bring even more value to students, administrators and restaurants in communities across the country, while growing our campus and diner network.”

“We’re excited to expand our relationship with Grubhub and offer even more ways for students to have cashless options and expanded meal choices,” said Laura Newell-McLaughlin, executive vice president and general manager, integrated payments, and campus commerce at Transact. “We’re continuously looking for ways to enhance the offerings in our mobile ordering platform and partnering with Grubhub to provide students with additional off-campus dining options makes our service even more seamless.”

This ordering method will be available to students in the coming months. The integration builds on Grubhub and Transact’s existing relationship, which allows hundreds of thousands of students in Transact’s CampusCash program across hundreds of campuses to use their student ID cards for cashless payments at university-approved off-campus merchants.

Contact Center Workforce Optimization

Cloud Contact Center Leaders Collaborate to Empower Agents and Elevate the Customer Experience

Calabrio, the workforce performance company, today announced its new workforce management (WFM) integration with Zoom’s omnichannel contact center platform. The cloud-to-cloud integration gives Zoom Contact Center customers access to the only true-cloud, enterprise-grade WFM solution on the market.

With conversations of an uncertain economic environment, contact centers are more budget conscious. Leaders are expected to achieve more with less as they combat the ongoing struggle to retain high-performing team members. Meanwhile, as technology evolves, consumer expectations continue to skyrocket. According to a Calabrio report, 97% of consumers say contact center interactions directly impact brand loyalty, and 3 in 5 consumers have switched brands due to a negative experience. Consumers demand access to multiple channels, personalized interactions, more empathetic experiences, and even faster resolutions.

“Zoom has seen tremendous growth in recent years as technology’s ability to drive human connection has been more important than ever before. Now, with Zoom Contact Center, we are enabling brands to connect meaningfully with their customers,” said Scott Brown, Head of Zoom Contact Center Sales. “Part of fostering these connections is integrating with advanced workforce engagement management (WEM) solutions to elevate the experience and performance of the agents interacting with customers. The agent-centric nature of Calabrio Workforce Management, alongside its ease of use and flexibility, fits perfectly with the Zoom mantra.”

Calabrio’s true-cloud, enterprise-grade WFM solution helps offer the access customers desire and unlocks the potential of the contact centers’ greatest asset—the agent. Zoom Contact Center customers can enjoy the functionality of a highly scalable WFM solution that meets the complex needs of contact centers across all industries, globally. AI-powered forecasting and automated, multi-skill scheduling connects the right agents with customers at the right time. Intuitive self-scheduling available via mobile app and powered with virtual-assistance technology gives agents greater freedom and flexibility. By building digital channel efficiency and efficacy ahead of time, contact centers can optimize agent performance and elevate their operations to the next level.

“Calabrio and Zoom are trusted allies for delivering unrivaled customer support. As more and more companies evolve to the cloud from on-prem solutions, we embraced the demand of Zoom Contact Center customers for an integrated, true-cloud workforce management solution that meets the needs of customers, agents, and the entire customer service operation,” said Vickie McGovern, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Calabrio. “As a customer-first organization we rose to the occasion. This WFM integration is just the start of Calabrio and Zoom’s ability to fully equip joint customers with the tools and insights to develop the full potential of their agents and deliver the experience desired by today’s customers.”

Ey Announces Alliance With Saviynt to Help Companies Manage and Secure Their Digital Processes and Systems

EY - Building a better working world (PRNewsFoto/EY) (PRNewsfoto/EY) (PRNewsfoto/EY)

  • Supports digital transformation by empowering distributed workforces through a modern identity governance and administration (IGA) solution

  • Secures digital assets and data through a converged solution covering identity management, privileged access management (PAM) and application governance across hybrid ecosystems

  • Supports enterprise-wide cloud-based cybersecurity infrastructure with faster deployment cycles

The EY organization today announces an alliance between Saviynt, a leading provider of intelligent identity and access governance solutions, and Ernst & Young LLP (EY US), to help organizations manage security and compliance risks for their digital assets.

As organizations pursue digital transformation, they face challenges in effectively managing and securing systems, data and network access across the enterprise, as well as the complexities of integrating multiple systems and security policies, managing user identities and accessing privileges. The EY–Saviynt Alliance helps clients address these challenges by modernizing legacy identity governance and administration (IGA) tools and providing ongoing operations support and application maintenance services.

The alliance supports the service offerings of EY US in the identity and access management market, such as the EY Digital Identity solution. This alliance leverages Saviynt’s Enterprise Identity Cloud (EIC) platform, which helps to strengthen the security and resilience of a client’s identity ecosystem, both internally and externally.

Read More: How Price Optimization Can Simplify the Complex in Enterprise Sales

The Saviynt EIC platform is a leading cloud-native converged identity platform that orchestrates workforce and enterprise applications, as well as privileged and third-party identities. Purpose-built for today’s modern enterprise and powered by machine learning to support automated risk management and action, EIC helps users maximize return on investment, lower costs, reduce complexity and streamline identity and access management processes. EIC customers benefit from immediate value and can future-proof their identity infrastructure with intuitive onboarding and low-code or no-code architecture. Further, EIC scales alongside its customers, empowering users to start anywhere and advance capabilities as identity programs mature.

As a cloud-native solution, the EIC platform is equipped to solve security- and access-related issues faster than traditional and on-premise IGA solutions. It supports IGA, data access governance, privileged access management (PAM), application access governance and third-party access governance.

With its extensive implementation experience of Saviynt’s EIC platform, EY US provides systems integration knowledge. Combined with Saviynt’s capabilities, the alliance will strengthen the digital identity, cloud transformation and security simplification offerings of EY US.

Dave Burg, EY Americas Cyber Leader, says:

“Fundamental to all cybersecurity efforts is identity management. Collaborating with Saviynt and leveraging its cloud-native tools will support the EY US digital identity, transformation and security simplification offerings. This alliance will unlock faster innovation and better support for clients across the globe, specifically in sectors such as healthcare, consumer products and manufacturing.”

Paul Zolfaghari, President, Saviynt, says:

“Saviynt’s EIC platform and the digital identity solutions of EY US are a powerful combination that provides a strong identity management and cybersecurity foundation upon which organizations can achieve their strategic digital transformation priorities. Together, Saviynt and EY US intend to provide the best user experience and help clients achieve the highest return on investment and the lowest total cost of ownership. Saviynt is proud to collaborate with EY US which has significant experience in providing impactful identity management applications and services for its clients.”

Mitto Integrates Shopify, Enabling A2P Messaging — Such as Abandoned Cart Reminders — for Brands on One of the World’s Largest E-Commerce Platforms

93% of consumers leave e-commerce carts abandoned, nearly ¾  are likely to return an abandoned digital shopping cart when sent an SMS reminder, new Mitto research reveals

Mitto, a leading provider of global omnichannel communications solutions, today announced it has added support for Shopify, a global provider of essential internet infrastructure for commerce used by millions of e-commerce websites around the world. Mitto’s integration with Shopify represents the latest advancement in the growing capabilities of its omnichannel communications platform, and enables brands leveraging one of the world’s largest online commerce platforms to deliver fast, reliable two-way A2P messaging directly to their customers.

Mitto’s integration with Shopify follows new research from the omnichannel communications provider around the power of SMS/text messages to encourage online shoppers to return to abandoned carts, a growing phenomenon in which customers place items in an online cart but exit the checkout process prior to purchasing. In March, Mitto surveyed 1,000 consumers aged 18+ and found the overwhelming majority — 93% — leave at least one item in their online cart for a period of time before purchasing or leaving. However, when sent an SMS/text messaging reminder, nearly ¾ of respondents (73%) said they are likely to return to their abandoned cart. These message-based reminders are more effective for Millennials and Gen Z — 78% of whom said they are likely to return to an abandoned cart — than their older peers aged 55+ (71%).

With over 4.4 million websites in over 175 countries globally using Shopify for their e-commerce, the ability for SMS/text message abandoned cart reminders, enabled through Mitto’s new integration, to drive otherwise-lost revenue, customer engagement and overall brand loyalty for Shopify merchants is incredibly powerful.

“The ongoing rise in online shopping has led to a growing problem for e-commerce merchants: cart abandonment. However, as our research has shown, SMS reminders have the ability to bring customers back into their carts and often through to purchase,” said Andrea Giacomini, CEO of Mitto. “Mitto’s integration with Shopify arms merchants with direct messaging capabilities to engage in the types of meaningful two-way conversations customers want, and and highlights Mitto’s continued push to advance our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of digital brands.”

Shopify is a leading global commerce company that offers trusted tools to start, scale, market, and run a retail business of any size. Shopify makes commerce better for everyone with a platform and services that are engineered for speed, customization, reliability, and security, while delivering a better shopping experience for consumers online, in store and everywhere in between. Shopify Inbox creates a single mailbox for all online customer interactions, enabling its customers to manage customer conversations, customize the chat appearance on their online store, create automatic responses, and view conversation analytics. The tool lets e-commerce brands easily add two-way messaging to their online store, allowing brands to communicate with customers during and after the shopping experience to gain insights into what customers have in their cart, share custom discount codes to close sales, and identify conversations that are likely to lead to a sale via automatic message classification

Mitto’s integration of Shopify indicates its commitment to advancing its capabilities and its resources to onboard new top-tier tech integrations as customer needs and industry trends evolve. With an aggressive roadmap, dedicated development teams and global reach, Mitto continues to deliver the best omnichannel communications solutions in the market. Mitto has a decade of experience working on the improvement and efficiency of omnichannel messaging through quality technologies. Through its advanced routing platform and direct strategic partnerships with hundreds of operators around the world, Mitto enables optimized communication experiences for the entire ecosystem of mobile operators, messaging aggregators, global brands, and consumers. Mitto currently integrates with over 30 partners, including Shopify.

Anatomy of SMS Cart Abandonment Reminders
Mitto’s research on cart abandonment also found a strong appetite for more SMS-text reminders: 71% of consumers surveyed said they would appreciate more follow-up SMS reminders of abandoned carts. When asked what features of SMS abandoned cart reminders are most appealing, over half (51%) said it is the one-click link that directs them right back to their unfinished cart. 42% said the short format of SMS/text messages make them quick to read while about ¼ said the simple format of SMS abandoned cart reminders makes them easy to read.

The content and offers included in SMS/text message abandoned cart reminders is also crucial to their effectiveness. Over half (54%) said discounts on the order are most effective at encouraging them to revisit an abandoned cart, followed by free/discounted shipping (30%), one-click links back to the cart (15%) and a referral bonus (1%).

Three-quarters say it takes only 1-2 reminders in general to return to their abandoned cart, and prefer they be sent late morning (preferred by 26% of respondents) or early afternoon (20%).

“Streamlining the dealmaking process for our customers continues to be our top priority”

The introduction of Datasite Cloud is part of the company’s continued mission to empower the dealmaking community to work smarter. Datasite Cloud offers dealmakers a variety of applications all in one place to manage distinct phases of the dealmaking process, including pipeline management, a new Datasite application, asset marketing, sell-side and buy-side due diligence, and post-merger integration.

“Disconnected systems complicate dealmaking processes,” said Doug Cullen, Datasite Chief Product and Strategy Officer. “And because so many deal teams are running both buy- and sell-side transactions at the same time, while juggling increased workloads, having one place to manage every stage of dealmaking gives dealmakers the flexibility to better manage their costs, reduce compliance risks, and increase their productivity.”

Dealmakers in more than 170 countries make their deals in Datasite, including 74 of the top 100 legal firms and all the top 20 global financial advisory firms. In 2022, Datasite facilitated more than a quarter of the top 100 global deals.
