While Rocket Software has always been a customer-centric company, a few months back we asked ourselves, “Is there more we can be doing to engage with our customers?” The Ask Rocket Q&A project is just one of the many new answers we have for that question. Ask Rocket is quarterly project that we’re kicking off […]
The world is rapidly changing. Artificial intelligence and robotics are taking over industries and powering new solutions to help make our lives easier. Automotives are one industry where technology is helping to power innovative new solutions, including assisted driving technologies and self-driving cars. This is dramatically altering the way we move. Working behind the scenes […]
COVID-19 has been a sobering reminder of how unprepared we all were, despite the warnings. This has flowed down to the boardroom where executives and leaders have had to deal with unprecedented economic conditions. For them, traditional crisis response approaches will not be good enough to ensure sustainability, or in many cases, the organization’s survival. […]

But what about the hidden costs that don’t show up on the balance sheet? Most of us don’t even think […]
Providing “exceptional customer care” seems like a no-brainer, but I’m always curious by what that term means to people. It goes back to the old saying, “actions speak louder than words.” We are all in the service of others – it’s what makes this world go around, and what differentiates us is how we choose […]
The Rocket team will be in full force at this month’s IBM InterConnect event, and we’d like to invite everyone to stop by and visit us in booth #1000 for a coffee (or maybe something stronger, depending on the time of day). We also have some limited opportunities for attendees to spend time with CEO […]
