Colours play a major role in e-commerce. Successful companies and brands deliberately choose to use blue, orange or yellow in their corporate logos. Just like shapes, marketing claims and faces behind the company, they reflect the company’s identity. Apart from that, they also trigger emotions – and this is exactly what a brand has to accomplish in order to appeal to users, to convince and to retain them. This makes it all the more important for a company just starting out to find the design that suits its philosophy and corporate values – a corporate design (CD) that creates identity and recognition value.

Find out in our new success story how the HR start-up SiebenWunder from Jena managed to find its corporate design.

Whether Panda, Penguin, Fred or BERT – besides their funny names, the Google updates so far have another thing in common: they all had more or less of an impact on the ranking of websites in the search engine.

From the very beginning, Google has always wanted to present users with the most relevant search results. For this reason, the tech giant constantly optimises its own algorithm. However, the question is: what does this algorithm look like in 2021? And what must website operators pay attention to now?

Acquiring customers and retaining them is important for every company. For a bank, however, it is not only particularly important, but also a very special challenge. This is because one distinguishing feature no longer plays a role when looking for the right lender in times of low interest rates.

Thüringer Aufbaubank (TAB) is headquartered in Erfurt and is not a private sector bank, but the development bank of the Free State of Thuringia. It funds a wide variety of business, agricultural and research projects and supports start-ups as well as private individuals. Moreover, the bank is an important contact for municipalities that need funds for public infrastructure.

So how does a bank like this manage to inspire customers when one of its USPs – low interest rates because it is publicly subsidised – is no longer a USP compared to the competition in the sector? Today, we will take a closer look at how intensive consulting and a well-founded system evaluation have prepared TAB for the implementation of a customer relationship management (CRM) system that is to help the bank to address this major issue through digitisation and data-driven methods.

The outcry was enormous: the »smartphone« bank N26 experienced a data breach and its employees had access to sensitive transaction data. There are many ways to prevent such breaches. Besides the structuring and classification of data, it is mainly about full control over data across all domains: multi-domain management.

Workflows, for example, can help in this regard to better structure processes and to promptly delete data that is not necessary or no longer permitted – and they can also help companies that already comply with the GDPR. After all, even 61 per cent of these companies collect more customer data than necessary.
