This episode is heavy on the "tech." From hi-tech companies, to new tech to Virginia Tech. The last two segments are particularly interesting.

I Read The News Today Oi Vey

1. KANA announced an alliance with IBM to build next gen contact centers
2. NetSuite announced its ecommerce suites - adding another vertical notch to its belt
3. Infor finally uses Epiphany's marketing strengths right with a retail specific interaction engine tailored release

1. Neighborhood America
2. Zuora
3. InsideView
4. Loyalty Lab
