EXPERT ALERTS:
Couples Should Discuss Key Financial Topics, Including Retirement
John Sweeney
Executive VP of Retirement and Investing Strategies
Fidelity Investments
"If gaps exist around basic questions like salary, couples might have other opportunities for improvement on the financial front, such as sorting through and tackling important issues together around the next big milestones in their lives, how and where to spend retirement, and later-in-life issues involving eldercare and estate planning. By taking time to engage in conversation and plan, your chances of creating a strong foundation and achieving your goals are greatly enhanced."
Sweeney can speak about Fidelity's 2015 Couples Retirement Study, which was released Wednesday, June 24. Among other topics, the study looks at couples' alignment (or not!) on key financial topics, including: retirement, kids and money, themes related to women and young investors, family conversations, wealth transfer and elder care.

Developing a Mobile Application Security Strategy
Dev Gandhi
CEO
moBack
"A mobile app can accept data from all kinds of sources. In the absence of sufficient encryption, attackers could modify inputs such as cookies and environment variables. When security decisions on authentication and authorization are made based on the values of these inputs, attackers can bypass your apps' security. Before embarking on a DIY mobile strategy, make sure your mobile developers can think through unintended consequences of app design. If they can't, get help. Delivering an easy-to-use app won't win you any points if you put customer or enterprise data at risk."
Gandhi is an expert in mobile development and the mobile economy, as well as technology trends as they relate to mobile. He founded Nexage, which was eventually sold to Millennial Media for $108 million. His most current venture is moBack, a new enterprise Mobile Backend-as-a-Service (MBaaS) company. One of the key products of moBack is moBack Enterprise, a self-deployable MBaaS platform that helps developers build and deploy mobile and Web apps faster and at a lower cost. With moBack's self-deployable platform, businesses now have instant access to an easy, secure and scalable backend platform to develop mobile apps, while enjoying full control and customization capabilities. This announcement marks the launch of a multi-phase rollout of the cloud-based platform, which allows large enterprises and startups to rapidly scale their existing infrastructure to roll out mobile and Web apps.

The Workplace of the Future
Lindsay Daniels
Corporate Communications Specialist
Polycom
"The workplace of the future is being brought to life by alternative ways of working, trends on flexiwork and how we're seeing a shift away from the 'traditional 9-5' work style. Remote work gives people the opportunity to see so many more places and also get to dedicate themselves to their job in a new way by working with team members in different regions, learning about their cultures, collaborating in new and challenging ways, etc."
Daniels joined Polycom in 2013. With a BA in sociology and French, and a master's in education, Daniels is a social enthusiast with experience in building communities with a focus on brand and customers. California born and raised, she's now pursuing her dream of traveling the world as a digital nomad and working with her globally dispersed team. A lifelong learner, she's interested in emerging tools and trends that allow people to work flexibly and collaborate better. She's an adventurous eater who loves traveling, being outdoors and exploring new places. Daniels is currently participating in the inaugural session of Remote Year, a program bringing together people from all over the world to travel to 11 countries and 12 cities over the span of a year while working remotely.

- GRAMMAR HAMMER: CAPITALIZING (WITH A CAPITAL "C"). One of the biggest mines in the grammatical minefield is when to capitalize beyond the first word of a sentence. We all have a pretty good handle on the basics (proper nouns, days of the week, months of the year), but the rules get a little fuzzier for some when it comes to capitalizing a person's title. The Grammar Hammer shares a few key rules to follow when considering whether or not something needs to be capitalized: http://prn.to/1LvyhgF
