Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Horizontal CRM solutions -- as mature as they are (and they have been around for 20+ years) -- don't always do a good job at supporting industry-specific business processes. Consider these examples: CRM users in manufacturing need capabilities to track projects, schedules, time sheets, labor efficiencies, and equipment inventory in addition to core CRM attributes.

While 83 percent of respondents say cyberattacks are among the top three threats facing organizations, only 38 percent say they are prepared to experience one, according to ISACA’s 2015 Global Cybersecurity Status Report. Incident response is still largely a human response. Multiply an outdated response plan by the many human errors that can innocently occur during response and you have a recipe for potentially cataclysmic results in the threat event aftermath.
