Do you want to rebrand your organisation? Is an acquisition or merger imminent? Or do you want to improve your customer experience, and does this require an organisational change?  For these types of digital transformations, changing technology is often a challenging and crucial part for organisations of all sizes. Whether you need to upgrade the CMS system to a newer version, or you want to increase your innovation speed with a headless CMS, there is often one element that receives little attention: the content migration. Far too often, a content migration is nothing more than the last thing on the list, because it’s the technology that requires a lot of attention and budget, isn’t it? How complex can it be to lift and shift the content from the old system to the new?

The battle for talent – in other words, valuable, talented, and motivated employees – is raging harder than ever before. And that's not surprising. For every organisation, the key to success lies with the right talent. Young and old, highly educated, and self-taught, native and immigrant. How do you get them on board? And how do you stop them from looking elsewhere? Instead of using recruitment as a means to attract talent that’s based on financial promises and incentives,  in the long term it’s wise to have a sustainable approach that starts from within your own organisation. In this whitepaper we will analyse the importance of your employer value proposition and take you through the recruitment do's and don'ts. Peppered with facts, figures and statistics that are relevant to the Belgian jobs market, and concrete tips, tricks, and trends.

Google est le leader incontesté du marché des moteurs de recherche, et le restera probablement pendant un certain temps. Cependant, pour ce qui est des requêtes de recherche, on observe récemment un challenger à ce monopole : Bing de Microsoft.

Cette influence croissante et la part de marché de Bing sont des éléments à prendre en compte dans vos stratégies digitales. Vous pouvez ignorer 5 % de vos visiteur·euse·s potentiels, mais ignorer 18 % des requêtes qui mènent à votre entreprise pourrait être néfaste pour vos résultats.

Date limite pour l'exportation depuis Universal Analytics : 1er juillet 2024. Après le 1er juillet 2024, il ne sera plus possible d'accéder à vos données dans Universal Analytics.

Il est conseillé de ne pas s'y prendre à la dernière minute, car vous pourriez rencontrer des obstacles, tels que des erreurs d'extraction ou des défis techniques.
