If people took their medication properly, healthcare costs would lower dramatically - on the tune of $300 billion. Pill pack's medication packaging increases proper medication use thereby lowering health costs. This purchase gives Amazon an entry into online medical pharmacy and a solid method to lower health costs. Further,Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart show that people are likely to buy lots of non-prescription products when getting their prescription so this purchase will likely boost Amazon's general commerce business as well.
It is possible that Uber decided to waive forced arbitration for sexual misconduct otherwise risk their whole arbitration policy being called into legality. This action might also indicate that sexual misconduct was systemic enough to risk challenging Uber's forced arbitration policies.
Sometimes when moving fast it is tough to see clearly. People say 'vacation', but it is two weeks where you are forced to face the reality of the situation instead of distracting yourself with 'work' and getting no sleep.
Nice! With DeMobo it seems like even physical objects can have it's own interactive instant app... so long as it has a QR code. I love how you do not have to install anything else once you have the platform up.
Thanks Steven! It is cool to hear about how others have done things. Our company is pushing a SaaS+ -- cloud based, technology enabled service. It fits an enterprise sales model. My team will need to do some client hand holding at times during a post-sales integration phase as well as wear another hat to do development work as needed (until we grow enough to separate dev team from the client integrations team).
One other thing to point out. I just realized that my original post somehow had text cut out (my first post). It was supposed to mention that we would love to get away with spending only ~$800-1200 per employee but would not mind spending more for productivity gains.
Thank you for your feedback! Coming from the corporate world, I am just looking for nuance in terms of best practices that startups use to stay lean nowadays and your comments provide. I was thinking along the lines that employees might not want clients calling their personal cell phones, which they would give out since they are visiting client sites. I guess we can use Google Voice or some such for that purpose? Or perhaps, in this particular case, we will wait till we have that problem instead of jumping in front of it.
