Posted by Garth Landers on Sep 12, 2024 8:00:00 AM

One of the first signifiers was the 50M series B round investment in Theta Lake, which included participation by some of the leading UCC providers including Zoom Video Communications Inc, RingCentral Ventures, Cisco Ventures and Salesforce Ventures. The market need has also been proven (an understatement) by the 2.6B in regulatory fines that have been levied on the financial services industry due to poor recordkeeping and unmonitored communications.

The Toggle Tax: Compliance for UCC Produce Productivity Challenges

Posted by Garth Landers on Apr 4, 2024 9:00:00 AM

The toggle tax is a concept introduced by Harvard Business Reviewto describe the amount of time users spend (and waste) toggling between their different workplace applications.
