Apple to Boost App Store Money-Making Opportunities
Apple is planning a major overhaul of its App Store, including the introduction of a new subscription model for developers and the
implementation of a paid search ad program, SVP Phil Schiller indicated
in interviews ahead of next week's WWDC. To encourage developers to sell
their apps on a subscription basis, Apple plans to change the current
70/30 revenue-sharing structure.

Uber Tosses Its Drivers a Few Bones
Facing growing pressure from labor unions and regulators across the U.S. and key overseas markets, Uber on Monday introduced a series of new apps
and benefits for its core group of drivers. The goal is to make their
working hours more productive and profitable. Among the new apps are
Driver Destinations, which lets drivers restrict ride requests to their
current routes.

SugarCRM CTO Clint Oram: Make Every Customer Experience Extraordinary
SugarCRM cofounder Clint Oram is one of the original architects and developers of the Sugar application. As the company's CTO, he currently
leads SugarCRM's corporate development strategy and alliances teams. The
biggest CRM challenge right now is that "technology is changing the way
customers work with companies," Oram said. "Technology has driven speed
and relevancy expectations through the roof."

Supreme Court Snubs Google's AdWords Appeal
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Google's appeal of a lower court ruling in a suit alleging the company used deceptive practices in
the sale and placement of advertising through its AdWords program
between 2004 and 2008. Google, a unit of Alphabet, sought to overturn
the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals September 2015 ruling that the
lawsuit could go forward as a class action case.

Yahoo Publishes NSLs Following Freedom Act Reforms
Yahoo last week published the text of three National Security Letters it received from the FBI in 2013. The letters demand the names, addresses,
length of service, and electronic communications transactional records
-- existing transaction and activity logs and all email header
information -- of the targets. However, they do not ask for any content
-- either the subject lines or bodies of emails.

Creating the Right Business Culture for Success
In an era when technology is changing the ways people conduct every aspect of their lives, it's not a surprise that business leaders have
come to depend on it as the lever that will elevate their sales and
marketing performance to the next level. Productivity has increased
because of technology, and the implementation of technological tools has
had a direct effect on sales effectiveness.
