The biggest impediments to user adoption of enterprise technology
An investment in enterprise technology can’t truly be deemed a success unless the organization achieves successful user adoption. While there are key best practices that can steer organizations towards successful adoption, there are also several impediments along the way. Here we’ll explore the impediments and how to overcome them.
The #1 impediment to successful user adoption is having a tech-focused mindset. Oftentimes, a customer will think to themselves: "OK, all the various bits of the tech are working. The project is on time and on budget. Let's roll this stuff out organization-wide, offer a bit of training, and people should love it and adopt it to solve their problems."

How quantum computing is set to revolutionize AI usage
The advent of quantum computing promises to dramatically alter the landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), enabling leaps in processing power and solving previously intractable problems. As researchers and tech giants race to develop the first truly functional and practical quantum computer, the potential synergy between quantum computing and AI offers an unprecedented opportunity to tackle complex challenges that could reshape several industries.
Quantum computing is based on the principles of quantum mechanics, exploring the phenomena occurring at the quantum level, the smallest scale in the universe. Traditional computers use binaries -- strings of 1s and 0s -- to process information, whereas quantum computers harness quantum bits, or "qubits." These qubits possess the unique ability to exist in multiple states simultaneously, known as superposition. This property allows quantum computers to perform numerous calculations at once, vastly surpassing the capacity of traditional machines.
Microsoft acknowledges Start menu, Windows search and UWP app issues... but says Windows updates are not to blame
If you have been experiencing problems opening the Start menu, launching UWP apps or accessing Windows search, you can draw some comfort from the fact that Microsoft is acknowledging that something is going wrong.
