The penetration of cloud-based contact center solutions into the contact center market has been growing dramatically as enterprises continue to acquire new customer engagement solutions or replace their existing premises-based contact centers. Cloud solutions are growing in popularity and gaining an increasingly significant share of the market as their feature sets and flexibility begin to match or surpass those of legacy premises-based systems. Cloud contact center vendors are spending R&D dollars to further develop their solution capabilities internally while also making strategic acquisitions in the customer engagement market space to enhance and broaden their offerings.

There’s no arguing that preventing failures and accidents is critical for industry. Unexpected incidents can grind operations to a halt for extended periods of time and necessitate expensive repairs. Just 12 hours of downtime for an oil production platform could cost six to eight million dollars in lost production opportunity alone. A single day of grounding for a plane costs roughly four to five million dollars. Because of these disruptions, industrial sectors are always on the lookout for newer, better maintenance methods, and the approach on everyone’s lips right now is predictive maintenance. While everyone agrees on the name, there is less consensus on what it means or how to implement it. But to truly unlock the potential of predictive maintenance, it needs to be paired with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

With organizations around the world rapidly adopting Office 365, IT pros need to be prepared to perform efficient, effective tenant-to-tenant migrations. Whether you’re undergoing a merger or acquisition, or it’s time to clean up and consolidate your IT infrastructure to drive productivity and growth, a successful migration requires one thing above all else: a tight focus on your users’ needs. In the end, success is not measured by checking off pieces of data moved; it’s about ensuring that everyone remains productive during the project and after migration is complete.

China is following a national strategy to lead the world in artificial intelligence by 2030, including by pursuing “general AI” that can act autonomously in novel circumstances. Open-source research identifies 30 Chinese institutions engaged in one or more of this project‘s aspects, including machine learning, brain-inspired AI, and brain-computer interfaces. This report previews a CSET pilot program that will track China’s progress and provide timely alerts.

The concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) dates back to the 1950s with researchers trying to use machines to simulate human intelligence in machines. However, their use in the financial sector has been limited. With enhanced customer service and mounting cost pressures, financial institutions (FIs) have now started to look at AI as a possible solution for improving cost and operational efficiencies.
