4 Ways Startups Can Beat Inflation
Startups can be particularly vulnerable to market fluctuations, but strategizing and running lean can go a long way to helping keep things afloat.
Startups are famous for doing big work on a small budget that pushes society forward, often succeeding against the odds. In fact, small businesses and the startups behind some of them are responsible for creating 1.5 million new jobs each year in the U.S.
Digital transformation in healthcare starts with changing the legacy
The COVID-19 pandemic boosted the digital transformation of many services, including healthcare, and access to medical care using teleconsultation. These rapid increases in online platforms have been developed to accommodate patients’ needs.
Even though healthcare organizations have rapidly adopted and incorporated digital services, it is important to understand that to truly transform, healthcare organizations need to first tackle legacy technology– to first deal with legacy thinking, culture, and processes.
5 Ways Big Data is Being Used in the Legal Profession
Big data has become a critical part of businesses in the past ten years. Due to the nature of the legal sector, it is usually the last among most industries to pick up new technologies. Still, it eventually does, and big data is becoming an excellent resource for law firms.
Since the relationship between big data and the legal sector is relatively new, it is understandable that you could have questions about what it can help you achieve in your law firm. But worry not, as this post can help you better understand the role of big data in the legal field.
Cloud: Three of the most important data centre trends right now
The number of products, services, technique and technologies associated with data centres is skyrocketing
But when navigating this fast-moving landscape, it can be easy to get lost in the jargon – whether it’s obscure acronyms, vendor-specific words or convoluted analogies. Rather than making cloud more accessible, these often have the opposite effect, making new trends and developments unnecessarily difficult to understand.
Humans Are The Future Of AI
Kevin Collins is CEO of Charli AI, a leading Intelligent Content Services Platform provider that is building AI that makes work flow.
AI has had a bad rap in recent years. It’s said to overpromise and underdeliver. Expectations were initially high, but the rollout of artificial intelligence left CIOs feeling frustrated and disenchanted. Many feel it’s not worth another try, and skepticism remains about AI’s ability to support businesses and bring true value.
Why We Need Accountability For Effective Cybersecurity Frameworks
Andy is CSO for Huawei Technologies USA, overseeing Huawei’s US cyber assurance program.
Recent security incidents violating IT service providers like SolarWinds and Microsoft have brought to the forefront the importance of accountability and transparency in cybersecurity. The sheer volume of recent reports of ransomware attacks, cyber intrusions reportedly perpetrated by nation-states, and largescale data breaches affecting millions of people indicates that cyber defenses must be raised across the board—particularly in critical infrastructure, government and essential services.
Complete guide to blockchain and cryptocurrencies
Kim Maceda goes over the complete guide to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, including how blockchain technology works, how it reduces costs and all of the other benefits. Maceda also covers the different types of cryptocurrencies, the most popular cryptos, and how they are being used.
Blockchain technology has revolutionized how we manage and ensure the privacy and security of personal data. Here are important facts to know about blockchains.
Cloud is a tool, not a destination
Article by Nutanix Australia and New Zealand managing director Jim Steed.
Gartner predicts the global spend on cloud services – IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and anything else as a service you can think of – will hit almost half a trillion dollars this year! For many years, “cloud” has been thought of as merely a destination. Somewhere an organisation ‘goes’ and, by doing so, magically transforms its business once it’s arrived.
This “destination” mentality has led to a misguided strategy that sees an enterprise trying to shift all its applications to a single cloud provider – regardless of the specific needs and nuances of each individual workload. But just as every business is uniquely structured, with its own unique objectives, the same is true of every application, every workload, and every dataset within each business.
Effective IoT security requires collaboration and clarity
IoT brings benefits to business, government and consumers. But those features shouldn’t come at the cost of security or less privacy for its users.
When firefighters arrive at burning buildings, they must contain the blaze, rescue inhabitants and keep calm under pressure. As IoT devices are increasingly deployed throughout cities, firefighters could have access to more information that could save more lives and lead to less lost property through use of real-time data about surroundings impacting people in need.
AI Algorithm Predicts Future Crimes One Week in Advance With 90% Accuracy
A new computer model uses publicly available data to predict crime accurately in eight cities in the U.S., while revealing increased police response in wealthy neighborhoods at the expense of less advantaged areas.
Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have sparked interest from governments that would like to use these tools for predictive policing to deter crime. However, early efforts at crime prediction have been controversial, because they do not account for systemic biases in police enforcement and its complex relationship with crime and society.
AI-Guided Robots Are Ready to Sort Your Recycblables
Computer-vision systems use shapes, colors, and even labels to identify materials at superhuman speeds.
The truth about recycling in many parts of the United States and much of Europe is sobering. Tomorrow morning, the contents of the recycling bin will be dumped into a truck and taken to the recycling facility to be sorted. Most of the material will head off for processing and eventual use in new products. But a lot of it will end up in a landfill.
Integrating blockchain-based digital IDs into daily life
Blockchain tech is pushing the boundaries of ID management as governments look for scalable solutions that promote privacy, control and decentralized data management.
The last 13 years have seen blockchain technology evolve into numerous use cases — finance, data, logistics and security, among others. However, the idea of using blockchain’s immutable capabilities to ID humans got new life when Changpeng “CZ” Zhao visited the island country of Palau to kick off its digital residency program.
Why Poor Data Quality is Holding Back Big Data
Remember the old adage, “Garbage in, garbage out”?
We can’t expect an algorithm to deliver accurate insights if it is fed with low quality data. Yet, all too often poor data quality only becomes a recognised issue when the algorithm starts delivering obviously dud results. The rest of the time, the vast majority of enterprises are content to put up with incomplete, inaccurate, duplicate or otherwise low-quality data, which can be felt any number of ways: a minor inconvenience here, a laggy system there and a reliance on guesswork, workarounds and manual processes.
Here’s what’s HOT and what’s not in FinTech right now
With a recession possibly around the corner, investors are writing fewer — and smaller — checks.
That’s led to a rotation out of certain pockets of fintech such as crypto and “buy now, pay later.”
Investors are flocking to less sexy areas like digitizing payment processing for businesses.
How Are Fintech Companies Helping MSMEs Increase Customer Reach
With the world going digital, the industry that was largely impacted was the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The financial crisis led to multiple businesses shutting down and impacted the credit buying capacity of many MSMEs. The traditional methods had taken a back seat and digital solutions revolutionized the operations of such small businesses.
