IT PLANNING AND INTEGRATION ENSURING M&A SUCCESS IN THE DIGITAL BUSINESS AGE

A merger and acquisition (M&A) of one corporation with another is a significant event that mandates several teams from both companies collaborate and align on various items. M&A activities are focused on bringing together not just people from the companies but also the multiple cultures, the diverse product portfolios, operating models, critical resources such as IT systems and the talent pool. M&A activities are initiated to primarily boost the revenue bottom line. Consequently, in order to show value to the shareholders, companies undergoing an M&A are keen on making this alignment exercise happen quickly, efficiently and painlessly. Ironically, the key things necessary to make this alignment happen smoothly are also the ones that get short shrift: IT landscape assessment, business process integration and IT integration of both systems and data sources.

Trusted Artificial Intelligence Towards Certification of Machine Learning Applications

whitePaper | March 30, 2022

Artificial Intelligence is one of the fastest growing technologies of the 21st century and accompanies us in our daily lives when interacting with technical applications. However, reliance on such technical systems is crucial for their widespread applicability and acceptance. The societal tools to express reliance are usually formalized by lawful regulations, i.e., standards, norms, accreditations, and certificates. Therefore, the TÜV AUSTRIA Group in cooperation with the Institute for Machine Learning at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, proposes a certification process and an audit catalog for Machine Learning applications.

IBM Watson NLP Performance with Intel Optimizations

whitePaper | December 29, 2022

In our modern world, taking advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to gain insights from data is becoming more prevalent day by day. Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) systems use multiple cores to perform parallel processing, running select workloads to decrease processing times. Compared to GPUs, Central Processing Units (CPUs) have fewer cores; previously, this resulted in less capacity for parallelized processing. To move beyond this limitation, Intel has released new hardware that runs typical AI mathematical computations more efficiently on the CPU, and has also released libraries with hardware optimizations that enable an additional increase in performance.
