The cost of the contract is staggering, and we’re seeing a move to the other vendors as Flock was used to take the heat as they try to make the case for keeping the technology and using other vendors. And…
We’re dealing with a major megacorp, so is this indicative of where they want to go with bank access with no ATM card and no online PC access, forcing you to install an app for data harvesting? Does this factor…
(Headline article below) I don’t remember the last time I had a coffee from Charbucks, but it’s been well over a decade, maybe two (I value good coffee and roast my own coffee picking a roast level below charred to…
