Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

Chair of our Cyber and Privacy Group, Adv. Haim Ravia, and the Israeli Population Authority, have agreed to settle a lawsuit that Haim Ravia filed against the Population Authority asserting violations of privacy. Under the settlement, the Population Authority is already underway deleting biometric facial images of Israeli residents who have traveled abroad, ensuring the photos cannot be recovered. The Population Authority also pledged to advance legislation limiting both the retention of these images and the period they can be stored.   The lawsuit focused on the authority’s unauthorized collection, storage, and sharing of biometric data with the Israeli Security Agency until February 2022. This important settlement, certified by the court last week, marks a significant win for privacy.

The Israeli Accessibility Regulation and Standards demands that all websites since 2017 be fully AA WCAG 2.0 accessible. The challenges we face now are 1. how we can improve the accessibility quality will be good, 2. train and motivate disabled users to use accessible sites and give feedback when needed improvement. I'm sharing Access Israel's first campaign to promote internet accessibility, it's a good One! https://lnkd.in/eK8CXRS6 #A11y #accessibility

Yuval Regev and his BI & Analytics team at Atera, the world’s first AI-powered IT management platform, lifted a core business KPI by 34% using the Loops Feature Impact Model. We are so proud and delighted to work with this leading analytics team. Initially, the naive effect (before/after) of a recent feature release appeared to have a positive outcome. However, with Loops they not only discovered that the causal effect was negative, they were empowered to make a series of iterative changes to maximize the KPI. You can read their case study to learn more about the process Yuval and team applied in making this significant impact on growth at Atera. #productledgrowth #causalml #causality https://lnkd.in/euc2JQDU

An Israeli startup that uses sophisticated AI software to dub movies and shows into foreign languages has launched its new Enterprise Plan, which includes API integration to meet an increasing need for scalable, high-quality localization solutions by major Hollywood studios and global dubbing houses. By using deep learning algorithms, Deepdub’s AI dubbing software can be trained to quickly learn the patterns of a particular voice sample and convey the voice actor’s specific tone and emotion, as well as adapt to different local cultural contexts and accents from country to country. “This technology caters perfectly to the growing economic and production demands of Hollywood and dubbing studios worldwide. Our 5X revenue growth this year is a testament to the market’s confidence in our solutions”, said Deepdub CEO Ofir Krakowski. #aisoftware #dubbing #foreignlanguages #APIintegration #Hollywoodstudios #EnterprisePlan #dubbingworkflows #israelinnovation #israelitech https://lnkd.in/dB9raEZw

This post is dedicated to my non-Israeli friends. But everyone’s welcome to read it :)   I’m sitting down to write this post about 10 minutes before the Israeli Memorial Day transitions to our Independence Day. Every year this is a nearly unbearable transition, from deep sadness to pride and joy. We are taught, from a very young age (as early as 6 years old, as I learned this year through my son), that these two dates were set intentionally, so that us Israelis will always remember that our independence came, and keeps coming, at great cost. This year, I feel it’s even worse than unbearable. It’s simply impossible. I find myself uncapable of celebrating Independence Day. As a nation and a country, we’re still at war. As an individual (and far from being the only one feeling like this), I’m still mourning. I truly believe we should still find ways to be happy and participate in or even initiate whatever activities that serve that purpose. But highlighting the achievement of becoming an independent country, of forming a safe country for Jewish people.. Right now it just doesn’t feel like the right time to do that.     And here’s why I’m writing to you, non-Israelis. I want to tell you more about what I’m mourning. I hope this will help those of you who see Israel at a mostly negative light, better understand the complexity of our reality.   Personally, I fully acknowledge Israel shares the responsibility over the truly shitty life of the people of Gaza. Along with that, I’m mourning what Israelis must live through right now: The tragic loss of so many loved ones, so many of them in terrible ways that I don’t think I’ll ever dare expose myself to. The need to leave their homes, and uproot their families, their whole lives. The fear that we’ll never feel safe again, not in Israel, and not anywhere else. The feeling I often struggle with, that I might never fully recover from my personal Oct 7 experience. That I will never be my best self again because of it – not the best mother I want to be, not the best partner, not the best friend, not the best employee.   So back to the complexity – you see, almost all Israelis are like me. People who just want to feel safe, just want to provide their kids with everything they need, just want to be able to celebrate without thinking about all that is wrong in the world.   I’m proud to be Israeli, although I’ve never felt more challenged to say it out loud.
