For Q2, our top blog posts all focused on engaging your customers by utilizing innovative technologies like mobile, social, and cloud solutions. While these cutting-edge technologies were certainly highlighted as important players in any organization’s transformation, they should not be seen as silver bullets. A reoccuring theme for the quarter—that technology is just the enabler, not the end-solution—reinforces this distinction. Over the last few months, it became clear that there was a growing need for more tactical, actionable content. Bluewolf responded, and in Q3, readership spiked for blog posts featuring how-to’s, step-by-step guides, and helpful tips & tricks to help you extract the most value from your tech investments.
