TED Talks for Project Managers

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design and is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to the dissemination of ideas.

The importance of TED in the United States is comparable to that of the World Economic Forum in Davos in Europe, one of the most prominent forums for information exchange across sectors and interdisciplinary boundaries. However, TED has evolved from the progressive, liberal, tech-savvy environment of the West Coast, and so TED is much more about inspiration, positive thinking, "looking forward", and networking with other "changemakers" than Davos is.

True to the motto

Ideas worth spreading

an exclusive group of professionals from a wide range of fields share their ideas in the form of short (maximum 18 minutes), powerful talks at the annual innovation conference. The best of these are later published on the TED Talks website as free videos.

Settle subscriptions via the Apple App Store as a company

What has long been standard practice on iPhones and iPads for some time increasingly applies now to Mac software too: buying software from Apple's App Store and subscribing to it.

The benefits are obvious:

• Software for your Mac, iPhone or iPad can be found in one central place.
• The App Store is pre-installed and can be used without much effort.
• Software is checked by Apple and only then released for the App Store. Malware can thus be excluded.
• Software updates are made available for download centrally via the App Store and, depending on your settings, are loaded automatically.
• Apple takes care of the protection of your personal data and does not pass it on to third parties - not even to the software developers.
• You have central access to all App Store purchases in the purchase history.
• Your billing information is linked to your personal Apple ID, so you don't have to re-enter your data and payment information for each purchase.

However, this last point in particular presents many companies with a challenge in terms of accounting for expenses. The link to a personal Apple ID means that purchase receipts are not issued to the company, but to the user.

Apple App Store Privacy

For some time now, we also offer our project management software Merlin Project in Apple's App Stores for Mac and iOS. Increasingly often we receive the question what information Apple passes on from the subscribers of our app to us developers.

Apple does not share personal data of a customer
