With the inevitable flurry of activity the holiday season brings, it’s
hard to get everything checked off your to-do list. This year,
LivingSocial is decked out to be the one-stop for all of your holiday
needs. Whether shopping for presents to put under the tree, searching
for smart deals, or looking to give to those in need, LivingSocial is
the place to go for it all.
“Holidays are meant to be shared with friends and family, not in long
lines at a shopping mall,” said Jake Maas, SVP of Consumer Businesses at
LivingSocial. “Not only does our at-your-fingertips approach make it
easy to discover great gifts and save money, but LivingSocial is also
offering members the opportunity to give to others through our
partnership with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.”
Give
Beginning today, LivingSocial members in the U.S. can give $5 to Toys
for Tots, a 65-year old nonprofit dedicated to spreading holiday cheer
for kids in need. For every donation, Toys"R"Us, LivingSocial, and other
corporate partners will match that gift with up to $1 million of toys.
“Partnering with LivingSocial is an easy, convenient way for consumers
to support less fortunate children right in their own community,” said
retired Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Pete Osman, President and CEO of Marine
Toys for Tots Foundation. “With $5 and a click of the mouse, anyone can
help make a child’s holiday season special.”
Aside from online contributions, members can also donate offline.
Approximately 100 LivingSocial merchants are participating in a toy
drive, collecting new, unwrapped presents to benefit the Toys for Tots
program. Select businesses across Atlanta, D.C., Miami, Minneapolis, and
Seattle have joined the effort.
This is the second year in a row LivingSocial and Toys for Tots have
collaborated to help brighten the season for disadvantaged children.
Since the foundation’s establishment in 1947, Toys for Tots has
delivered more than 452 million toys to more than 209 million kids
across the country. According to the U.S. Census, almost 22% of children
under the age of 18 are still living in poverty, making donations as
meaningful as ever.
The Toys for Tots-LivingSocial offer is available now at LivingSocial.com.

About Marine Toys for Tots Foundation
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a not for profit organization
authorized by the U.S. Marine Corps to provide fundraising and other
necessary support for the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
Program. Now in its 65th year, Toys for Tots provides joy and a message
of hope to less fortunate children through the gift of a new toy or book
during the Christmas holiday season. Our gifts offer these children
hope, recognition, and a positive memory they will cherish for a
lifetime. Many of the books, games, and sports equipment that we provide
as gifts make a significant contribution to the educational, social and
physical development of these children. In 2011, Marines distributed
toys to more than 7.2 million children who might not have otherwise
experienced the magic of the Christmas holiday season.

Apr. 23, 2018 05:45 PM EDT Reads: 5,744 | By Elizabeth White  IoT is at the core or many Digital Transformation initiatives with the goal of re-inventing a company's business model. We all agree that collecting relevant IoT data will result in massive amounts of data needing to be stored. However, with the rapid development of IoT devices and ongoing business model transformation, we are not able to predict the volume and growth of IoT data. And with the lack of IoT history, traditional methods of IT and infrastructure planning based on the past do not app... Apr. 23, 2018 05:30 PM EDT Reads: 7,362 | By Pat Romanski  Organizations planning enterprise data center consolidation and modernization projects are faced with a challenging, costly reality. Requirements to deploy modern, cloud-native applications simultaneously with traditional client/server applications are almost impossible to achieve with hardware-centric enterprise infrastructure. Compute and network infrastructure are fast moving down a software-defined path, but storage has been a laggard. Until now. Apr. 23, 2018 04:15 PM EDT Reads: 7,018 | By Pat Romanski  Digital Transformation is much more than a buzzword. The radical shift to digital mechanisms for almost every process is evident across all industries and verticals. This is often especially true in financial services, where the legacy environment is many times unable to keep up with the rapidly shifting demands of the consumer. The constant pressure to provide complete, omnichannel delivery of customer-facing solutions to meet both regulatory and customer demands is putting enormous pressure on...

Apr. 23, 2018 01:15 PM EDT Reads: 2,085 | By Liz McMillan  The current age of digital transformation means that IT organizations must adapt their toolset to cover all digital experiences, beyond just the end users’. Today’s businesses can no longer focus solely on the digital interactions they manage with employees or customers; they must now contend with non-traditional factors. Whether it's the power of brand to make or break a company, the need to monitor across all locations 24/7, or the ability to proactively resolve issues, companies must adapt to...

Apr. 23, 2018 10:15 AM EDT Reads: 1,084 | By Pat Romanski  More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smart...
