artificial intelligence
One of the biggest buzzwords in the tech industry over the past decade has been “artificial intelligence” — also referred to as “AI.” In fact, when looking at innovation initiatives, it’s almost difficult to find a press release that doesn’t mention AI. Case in point: startup companies on the forefront of innovation that have been using AI received more than $7.4 billion in funding during Q2 2019.
Not too long ago, we covered the differences between digitization, digitalization and digital transformation.

What We'll Cover: 1. Data encryption definition and applications. 2. Various pros and cons of using data encryption. 3. The value it can bring your business. The move to cloud services has exploded as people continue to work from home. However, with this rise, there’s been an equally big uptick in something not as nice or useful: cyberattacks. The Cloud has allowed businesses to keep things running, but as people take laptops home and internal servers are moved online, cyberattackers aren’t slowing down.

system integrations
Many businesses deal with out-of-date systems, separated spreadsheets, and siloed data. Without strategic system integrations in place, these segmented technologies negatively impact your team’s decision-making ability and as a result, cost you money. In fact, according to IBM, surveyed organizations estimate that poor data quality is costing them an average of $15 million per year — with even greater long-term impacts such as reputation damage, missed opportunity, and loss of revenue. As a business leader, you’ve heard of the value integrated data can bring your organization. You may have considered merging systems before but need better examples of the ROI. System integrations take time — does the cost justify the outcome? The answer is a resounding ‘yes.’ Here are just a few examples of the benefits merging your systems brings to your business.
