Best Buy scales AI workloads and secures access with Workforce Identity Federation
As Best Buy expanded its use of Google Cloud for advanced analytics and AI, its technology teams faced two significant scaling challenges: Mitigating risk and managing administrative friction when syncing thousands of backend users from Microsoft Entra ID. The retailer solved both problems and paved the way for a massive cloud expansion by implementing Google Cloud's Workforce Identity Federation. This direct approach allowed developers to access cloud resources securely using their existing Microsoft credentials without a separate identity store, giving technical leadership confidence that ac

How to build a secure automated system on Zapier
At Zapier, we're big believers in automation. That's a given. But our platform goes beyond automating simple "if this, then that" work. An automated workflow-what we call a Zap-is the perfect starting point to get more work done. But it's just one piece of a larger picture. The real goal is a complete system: one place to capture your data, store it, and act on it, with security, access controls, and permissions built in at the platform level. You can create that entire system on Zapier. And if

Zapier vs. Celigo: Which is best for enterprise automation? [2026]
NetSuite organizes monthly events for its users around the world, from Dubai to Sydney, and in each and every city you'll find a similar sight: people in Celigo shirts handing out swag. Officially, Celigo is an enterprise iPaaS solution with lots of use cases. But practically speaking, it's best known as the go-to platform for NetSuite integrations. If you're processing thousands of eCommerce orders daily through NetSuite, Celigo should probably be a part of the solution. But most enterprises al
Zapier vs. UiPath: Which is best? [2026]
Some of the world's most critical infrastructure runs on technology that predates the internet. Updating it is risky and complex, so banking systems, government agencies, and insurance firms frequently apply the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule to the decades-old technology that powers their core systems. UiPath rose to prominence by automating legacy systems like these with its robotic process automation (RPA) platform, which lets IT teams design robots that complete actions at the user i
What are agent skills? How to take your AI agent from capable to useful
My dog knows a lot of tricks, and she's willing to show them off to you if (and only if) you offer a high-value treat. You don't have to teach her to lie down or shake paws every time you give the command; she's already learned what's expected from her. Agent skills work the same way-except your AI agent's compliance is a lot less dependent on its mood that day or whether you have a blueberry-flavored Greenie to tempt it with. Agent skills are like teaching your AI a new trick, so they do specif

What is product lifecycle management (PLM)?
I make a mean homemade pretzel, but it took a while to get there. In my early days, I watched a few quick videos and just decided to wing it, not knowing how to mix the dough, when and how long to let it rest, and even forgetting to add baking soda to the boiling water (a mortal sin in the pretzel world). But then I got a cookbook that completely changed my life, and standardized my processes to help me make golden, twisted bliss. Wayward businesses have the same problem as my early pretzel year
Hootsuite vs. Buffer: Which social media management tool is best? [2026]
Whether you're an occasional poster or a social media marketer, you need social media management apps to automate posts, monitor performance, and run multiple social media accounts without too much chaos. There are plenty of options to choose from, but the two names you'll see popping up most often in this category are Buffer and Hootsuite. They're both synonymous with social media management, but they differ quite a bit in their features and how they approach the task at hand. I spent time test
What is omnichannel customer experience?
Last week, I had to return some workout clothes to a company that I've decided to redact, as I don't want to get sued. I started on the app but gave up halfway through as I was being led on a virtual goose chase. I then called the support line and had to explain the whole thing again to a very nice person who had no idea I'd ever opened the app. To add insult to injury, I got an email a few hours later asking me to rate the app experience. Three touchpoints, minimal memory, and one frazzled (to
Zapier vs. Tray comparison: Which is best for enterprise automation? [2026]
It's easy to let edge cases influence your decision-making-thinking you need the most technical tool for the few times your developers will want to code their way out of a tough problem. And with enterprise software, it's tempting to assume you have to choose between power and ease of use. But that's not always true. The best automation platforms deliver both, scaling to meet complex enterprise needs while remaining intuitive enough for anyone to start building right away. You can use either Zap
The 9 best applicant tracking systems in 2026

When you hold your phone camera up to a QR code, light strikes the image sensor as only a first step to revealing the data hidden behind the black-and-white matrix. The receiver here is doing something different: directly altering its own memory using the photocurrents produced by the beamed array of
