In a post-pandemic working environment that has not only prompted the move towards hybrid working but has also seen enterprises increasingly looking for flexible and agile management tools that can be delivered in the cloud, unified communications (UC) and collaboration services software developer Kurmi Software has launched Kurmi as a service (KaaS).

The platform is fundamentally designed to deliver simplified provisioning of unified communications and contact centre services to enterprises worldwide from the cloud. KaaS pairs all the capabilities of Kurmis on-premise platform with a hosted model that is intended to deliver faster and easier access to the tools required to streamline and optimise the day-to-day administration of unified communication platforms, including Avaya, Cisco, Microsoft and Zoom.

Outlining reasons for the launch, Kurmi said research had shown that the Unified Communications market is expected to reach $344bn by 2028, driven by digital transformation, a hybrid workforce environment and a surge in enterprise cloud adoption and migration. It also pointed out that the dynamic had in no small part been accelerated by the pandemic, and that a move towards hybrid working has also seen enterprises increasingly looking for flexible and agile management tools that can be delivered in the cloud.

Enterprises are always looking at ways to cut costs and the volume of hours required to support critical UC solutions is a big part of this, said Thibaut Felgeres, CEO at Kurmi Software. This is why we have developed Kurmi as a service, to extend the delivery model options for our UC automation services beyond on-premise into the cloud. KaaS enables users to benefit from all the existing Kurmi Software features, but with the added flexibility of total cloud management, instantaneous updates and a predictable upfront monthly cost.

Developed to meet this rising demand for UC automation, KaaS is attributed with accelerating the implementation of UC management and creates an improved customer experience, automatically delivering the latest and most up-to-date release of the platform, without the IT overhead. It also offers a transparent and predictable monthly cost model with a range of additional benefits for enterprise customers.

Kurmi added that with KaaS, the ability to create templates by site or function and set up repeatable processes could reduce the amount of time needed to onboard new users by up to 80%, and transforms provisioning UC into a fast, one-click activity.

Additionally, automated moves, adds, changes and deletes (MACDs) workflows and processes, including flexible Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and advanced features such as rollback and scheduling, means that IT admin teams can assign day-to-day UC management tasks to employees without advanced technical skills, including helpdesk staff, local administrators and HR assistants.

With the latest in data encryption and cloud-based systems maintenance, KaaS is said to offer benefits with security software, removing the need for manual integration or security expertise by automatically keeping up-to-date and compliant with the latest regulations and threats, with all platform management handled by Kurmi. All KaaS users will receive access to the latest Kurmi support for new features from their platform suppliers without delay.

Providing an alternative delivery model to Kurmis on-premise service, KaaS will complement the existing Kurmi UC Provisioning suite, giving customers the same experience, but with what the company assures will be the added flexibility and peace of mind that comes with a SaaS model.

Strata, Mubadala Investment Companys aerospace unit, plans to expand its advanced manufacturing capabilities to include more segments in the industrial sector as part of its new long-term strategy unveiled on Wednesday.

The company will focus on a broad range of high-tech production opportunities covering biopharma, advanced materials manufacturing, digitisation, automation and more, it said in a statement.

Today we embark on a new journey where we will witness a period of significant improvements and growth for Strata. We will not only double down on our aerospace manufacturing capability but also intend to have a larger contribution on the UAE manufacturing and socioeconomic growth by diversifying our manufacturing portfolio, said Ismail Ali Abdulla, Strata's chief executive.

The announcement comes after The National reported in November about the company's plans to expand into advanced manufacturing technology such as robotics and artificial intelligence with the aim of developing local production.

Benefits will include establishing new specialities within the UAE economy, providing high-skill jobs for Emiratis, attracting more companies to carry out their activities from the Emirates and offering small and medium enterprises (SMEs) new opportunities to work with Strata within these areas, Mr Abdulla said at the time.

Strata's new long-term strategy is in line with the UAE's ambition to more than double its industrial sector's contribution to national gross domestic product to Dh300 billion ($81.6bn) by 2031 from Dh133bn in 2021. The Operation300bn strategy also seeks to support 13,500 SMEs over the next decade.

By investing in national talent and vision, fostering vibrant commercial and industrial clusters, and forming strong partnerships with global entities who share the same vision of sustainable development, Strata aims to dynamise future growth and investment in new and exciting ways, Mr Abdulla said.

In 2020, the aerospace company outlined its plans to diversify into health technology as the Covid-19 pandemic boosted demand for medical equipment. Strata began producing N95 masks in partnership with Honeywell in May 2020, before seeking export markets.

Strata's pivot to HealthTech is also in line with the UAE's plan to localise high-tech manufacturing capabilities.

The company also aims to transform local businesses into global champions with a shared goal of industry disruption, sustainability and growth, it said on Wednesday.

Strata has promised to create numerous opportunities for local companies and SMEs, all while supporting national industry growth and enhancing their global competitive edge, it said.

Set up by Mubadala in Al Ain a decade ago to position the UAE in the global aerospace supply chain, Strata has billion-dollar contracts with Boeing, Airbus, Leonardo in Italy and Pilatus Aircraft in Switzerland.

The company expected 2021 revenue of $80 million to $100m, similar to the levels of 2020, Mr Abdulla said in November.

Aviation instrument maker uAvionix said it has added digital autopilot and external magnetometer interface capabilities to its AV-30-E multimode indicator for experimental aircraft.

The Bigfork, Montana, company said the AV-30-Es ability to control an autopilots heading, altitude, and vertical speed makes it a well-integrated replacement for traditional attitude indicators and directional gyros. The AV-30-E works with modern digital autopilots, which simplifies its installation.

The company said a no-cost software upgrade is available now for the non-certified AV-30-E. The upgrade supports TruTrak Vizion 385 and Vizion PMA, and BendixKing xCruze 100 and AeroCruze 100 autopilots. Other autopilots, including the Trio Pro Pilot, are undergoing testing.

Certification is also underway for the autopilot interface to be used in the AV-30-C, uAvionixs multimode indicator for certificated aircraft. The company said it is also continuing to develop interface adaptors for analog autopilots.

In addition to autopilot interface capabilities, the AV-30 series will soon be able to support an external magnetometer from uAvionix called the AV-Mag. The magnetometer helps increase performance and reduce the pilots workload through magnetically slaved DG operation.

Earlier this month uAvionix, which is also known for its years of work in unmanned aircraft systems and their integration in national airspace, announced its acquisition by private equity firm DC Capital Partners. The move was meant in part to help uAvionix intensify its development programs.

All parts of the supply chain can benefit from automation, and warehousing and materials handling are no exception. A recent Gartner survey predicts that 75% of large enterprises will have adopted some form of intralogistics smart robots into their warehouses by 2026. Here Neil Ballinger, Head of EMEA at EU Automation, discusses some of the key reasons why warehouse managers should look to up their investment in automation and offers insights into the industrys future.

Intralogistics smart robots are those designed to aid warehouses and distribution centres. Automation of this kind is becoming increasingly sought after in light of rising labour rates, labour availability constraints, and increased demand on warehouses resulting not least from the COVID-19 pandemic and from recent shortages that impacted all sectors of manufacturing.

There are many reasons to consider increasing your investment in automation, with smart solutions to fit all budgets. Investing in them now can be a great step to future-proof your business and gain a competitive edge.

A key reason to implement automation in your supply chain is safety. This is supported by a recent research article published by the Harvard Business Review, where workers cited it as the number one benefit. In warehousing, robots can not only perform inherently dangerous tasks such as reaching items on high shelves, but also help to prevent injury or sickness resulting from general worker fatigue, for example from using improper lifting techniques, or working erratic shifts.

The next most cited benefits were increased speed and efficiency and higher-quality of work, with one worker claiming a ten times increase in productivity as a result of automation. For example, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are a staple of intralogistics automation which can streamline product movement around the shop floor while minimising product damage and the need for labour.

When deciding what and how to automate, warehouse managers are spoilt for choice. For pick and place applications, KNAPPs universal conveyor system can supply many different areas of a warehouse efficiently and reliably. For improving workers safety, TM Robotics Intelligent Box Opening Device eliminates the need for manual opening of boxes with a knife. For those looking for a flexible intralogistics solution, VisionNavs robotics-vision guided AGVs can transport items such as pallets around the shop floor with high accuracy.

Inspektos S70 visual inspection unit combines a unique electro-optics system with Autonomous Machine Vision AI technology to provide automated and accurate out-of-the-box quality assurance. This has many use cases, such as checking integrity of incoming parts or goods, and assembly verification.

The sky is the limit when considering automation options, and even seemingly less-important tasks, such as removing recycling from the shop floor, can be automated, for example with Fetch Robotics Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), which can be programmed to pick up recycling at custom time intervals according to a warehouses needs. This frees up workers to perform more value-adding tasks, which will result in improved employee satisfaction.

A recent article from McKinsey & Company anticipates that investing in integrated solutions across the three main areas of materials handling warehouse management, shop-floor operations and field operations may be an effective strategy to future-proof your business. For example, Sainsburys has recently replaced its legacy warehouse management solutions with Krbers K.Motion Warehouse Management System, a cloud-based, integrated system which will allow customisation to incorporate new processes unique to its business and industry.

Increasing your investment in materials handling automation - The Manufacturer

Automation is impacting every industry, requiring businesses to seek out experts in a variety of fields. These TechRepublic Premium hiring kits showcase four up and coming automation-focused careers.

Chances are that you use at least a few automated processes each day. For example, you may program your coffeemaker to brew your favorite cup of joe at the same time each day. Or you might receive a notification via email when someone mentions you in a shared document.

Automation in its various forms is changing every industry. While some examples of automation, such as those above, simply save time and effort, other possibilities, such as robotics used in manufacturing, improve safety, reduce costs and ensure high-quality products.

In fact, the benefits of automation are inspiring organizations to quickly take advantage of the current tech available. According to the Fortune Business Insights Industrial Automation Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis report, the global industrial automation market is expected to grow to approximately $395 billion by 2029. This is a drastic increase, considering the market share in 2021 was approximately $191 billion.

The growth of automation hasnt been accepted by all. There are still those out there who fear that tech such as AI and robotics will take their jobs. Is it true?

According to the 2020 World Economic Forum Future of Jobs report, 85 million jobs could be displaced through the use of automation. However, this same report said that 97 million new roles may emerge as a result of the use of intelligent machines.

While theres so much we still dont know about the future of automation, one thing is for sure: It will continue to increase in use. And this means new talent will be required to develop, maintain, troubleshoot and improve the machines that make it all work.

If youre an organization ready to take advantage of the many benefits of automation, youll need to find qualified automation professionals for your team. Whether youre looking for a robotics engineer or an individual dedicated to machine learning, we have a TechRepublic Premium hiring kit to help.

These hiring kits are perfect for determining what to look for during the hiring process, and they include sample job descriptions, salary expectations and more. Simply download the hiring kit and youre good to go.

What keeps your organization running? Processes. Whether youre sending an email to a client or developing products, everything can be distilled into a process. When these processes are automated, organizations can increase efficiency and improve their bottom line.

But who is responsible for automating these processes to ensure success? The automation specialist. These individuals are tasked with developing the systems, applications and tools that automate an organizations processes from start to finish.

These individuals should have a wide range of technical expertise and the ability to write code, install databases, configure hardware, test operating systems and more.

A unique field of automation is found in computer vision technology. This technology seeks to automate the tasks typically performed by the human visual system and is used in a wide range of applications, from IoT to robotics.

Computer vision engineers spend their time programming computers to complete complex tasks associated with digital images and videos. This means they must have a robust skill set that enables them to develop computer vision models, create dataset libraries and much more.

Individuals interested in this career path should be able to develop and test prototypes, build search engines and systems, and develop software modules for large-scale image data processing, among other tasks.

True automation requires both artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). In machine learning, an algorithm is used to collect data that predicts what comes next in a process. Over time, the machine learns from the data without the need for additional programming.

To combine the power of machine learning with automation, organizations require a machine learning engineer. These individuals are responsible for designing, developing, programming and implementing machine learning applications. This means they must have niche knowledge of both data science and software engineering.

A machine learning engineers know-how should include system design, an understanding of data structures and the ability to program applications.

For many industries, manufacturing is critical to business success. And many manufacturing facilities use robotics, an advanced form of automation, in some way. To keep these machines running safely and efficiently, businesses require professionals tasked with developing, testing and maintaining them.

Enter the robotics engineer. These individuals will design and build robots, code necessary robotic processes and develop the procedures a robot will follow once built. This means engineers must have advanced knowledge of engineering, robotics and programming.

4 automation-focused IT careers on the rise - TechRepublic

The showy science projects get all the attention in the constant quest to automate everything. That includes gigantic natural language processing models such as OpenAI's GPT-3, which can complete sentences, answer questions, and even write poetry.

For those making commercial software, there is a more mundane but perhaps equally valuable task, which is to figure out what facts a machine should have access to and make that actually have value for humans.

"We don't apologize for the fact that some of this requires brute force," says Dan Turchin, chief executive and co-founder of PeopleReign, a San Jose, California software startup that is automating the handling of support calls for things such as IT and benefits.

His software has compiled, over a period of five years, a kind of encyclopedia of more than five million "domain concepts," structured information relating to things such as employee benefits, requests for computer support, and all manner of other things customers or employees might request, culled from a billion examples such as IT tickets, wikis, chat transcripts, etc.

All of that is meant actually to know what a human is trying to express.

"When we named the company, it was very intentional," said Turchin in an interview with ZDNet via Zoom. "Technology is amazing, but it can also be dangerous; people do and always will reign."

Also: What is GPT-3? Everything your business needs to know about OpenAI's breakthrough AI language program

Turchin's firm on Wednesday announced it received a $4 million seed round of financing to advance its programs that are already in use by Fortune 500 firms such as insurance giant Swiss Re, which uses the software to support 15,000 employees in 25 countries.

The funding from venture capital firms Boulder Ventures, Moxxie Ventures, and Sterling Road, and individual investors that include MicroStrategy co-founder Sanju Bansal, is the first outside money PeopleReign has received since its founding in 2020.

The area of automating language for things such as help desks has been a hot area lately. It includes startups such as DialPad and Moveworks to large, publicly traded companies such as Five9.

The Great Resignation is driving a lot of demand for software such as PeopleReign's, contends CEO and co-founder Dan Turchin. To the extent such tools deliver a better experience for employees, they "demonstrate to employees they are valued, they're trusted, they're respected, they're no longer constrained by the things that used to make an office environment toxic."

But the work of gathering the domain concepts, years of work that preceded the formal founding of the company, is the bedrock of the software that PeopleReign claims as its unique edge -- "it's one of the world's biggest corpus of content related to IT and HR," said Turchin.

"No one is leveraging the tools we are to develop an understanding of language to do the kinds of things we are doing," Matt Parker, PeopleReign's head of data science, told ZDNet in a separate interview via Zoom.

"We have this huge database of domain-specific information and how it all weaves together," said Parker. "It's just a huge list of factual information. That's the key bit, is that it's unambiguous, indisputable facts."

It is a strategy somewhat akin to Chicago-based startup Narrative Science, a focus not strictly on automation but on the detective work of piecing together what language means in context.

PeopleReign uses largely off-the-shelf, open-source software for the rote tasks of parsing text examples, what's known as automated entity extraction and automated concept tagging.

Also: Language AI startup Moveworks expands beyond IT to finance, HR, other corporate communications

A program called spaCy is used to create what are called word embeddings, syntactical representations of how words relate to one another in a given context. The popular Neo4j knowledge graph software builds a knowledge graph of the discovered relationships.

From those tools, PeopleReign constructs ontologies that know what a term suggests in context. The term "Mavericks," for example, could be used in the context of Apple's previous OS X software release of that name. "That is a member of 'OS X,' and of 'hardware' and of 'operating system and 'personal computing,' and it's also related to 'Apple'," said Parker, listing all the parts of a domain that may cluster around a given term.

Clustering in and around each term can be related concepts, he said -- that "huge list of factual information," things such as types of computers, vendor names, or types of problems that people can run into, such as computers "freezing" or "crashing" or "breaking."

Another open-source program, made by spaCy's creators, prodigy, is used for machine learning training to understand what someone is referring to. PeopleReign uses its domain ontologies to train what's called an "entity recognition model," a mechanism that can retrieve, at runtime, the relationship of, say, "Mavericks" to "OS X" and to "computers."

Also: 'We won't have the sexiest AI, but everything it says is true,' says Narrative Science

The result is, "When somebody says, 'I can't upgrade Mavericks,' they are probably not talking about the surfing spot," explained Parker, referring to a popular destination in Northern California for which the OS X distribution was named.

"Where PeopleReign adds unique value is in understanding the domain and learning from these concepts," said Turchin. "If an employee is asking about 'airport,' but in the context of WiFi or network access, it's about the Apple product [Apple's Airport base station], not a physical airport."

"So, understanding the language that employees use to request IT and HR service means these domain ontologies can have a much more fluent conversation." The facts, moreover, can be translated across 27 different languages by finding the domain-appropriate term in the native language, rather than a simple word-for-word translation.

"When we receive an utterance in Spanish, the facts are the facts; we just have to translate," explained Parker. "If your computer screen is going to crack, that's true no matter the customer and the language."

The PeopleReign ontologies are packaged as four programs. One is a virtual agent meant to handle requests automatically. Two other programs are to aid live agents by suggesting relevant answers, "essentially to make the agent smarter with contextual recommendations that are built based on this knowledge graph," explained Turchin.

And a fourth program is what's called predictive analytics, "to basically tell you what's trending, to let you know what are the gaps in your knowledge to be able to deflect more calls to self-service."

"We have this huge database of domain-specific information, and how it all weaves together," says PeopleReign co-founder and data science lead Matt Parker. "It's just a huge list of factual information -- that's the key bit, is that it's unambiguous, indisputable facts."

Especially in cases where some new product pops up -- the latest Apple computer, say -- "there are going to start to be questions that no one knows about" because they haven't previously been handled. "So, PeopleReign will be the canary in the coal mine to figure out what people are talking about.

PeopleReign is aiming at winning customers among companies that have the typically load of 750,000 trouble tickets annually. "PeopleReign, for most customers, will reduce call volume by about 60%," claimed Turchin.

Armed with new funding, PeopleReign has enough capital to take it through next year, when a Series A may happen, said Turchin. Some seasoned tech veterans are joining in the round, including Larry Augustin, former CEO of software maker SugarCRM and Linux computer maker VA Linux; and Julie Liegl, formerly the chief marketing officer of Slack.

Among other things, the new money will be used for go-to-market initiatives such as building partnerships. One of the first, announced Wednesday, is with Thirdera, which bills itself as "the largest pure-play provider of ServiceNow services."

In the era of the Great Resignation, Turchin is betting that the work of smoothing an employee's help-desk calls may be a big draw for companies that don't want to annoy their employees.

"This is the hardest environment I've ever had to hire in," said Turchin, who is a veteran of numerous tech startups. He said his small, seasoned team is ten people now, expecting to double by year's end to 20. A big help to hiring is that PeopleReign is "embracing the idea of a 100% remote team," he said. Despite the San Jose address, there is no formal headquarters facility and won't be one anytime soon, he said.

"We will align our real estate strategy with where our talent is, rather than the other way around," he said.

"All organizations are now remote-first, or hybrid-first," observed Turchin. Without a physical locus, in an age of increasingly nomadic work, the bet is that software needs to extend employee service outward, virtually.

"Every employee just became a remote office that IT needs to support, so technologies like PeopleReign are making it easy for IT to be adaptable just like employees are having to adapt to working anywhere."

In a broader sense, technologies that improve the world of work become an important element to attract and retain talent, Turchin contends. Software such as improved help desks is among "technologies that let CXOs demonstrate to employees they are valued, they're trusted, they're respected, they're no longer constrained by the things that used to make an office environment toxic."

(In addition to running PeopleReign, Turchin hosts podcasts with thought leaders in software, AI and related topics, called AI and the Future of Work.)

Outlook on the Automated Parking System Global Market to 2030 - Featuring AJ Automated Parking Systems, Fata Automation and Park Plus Among Others -...

CAIRO The Egypt Ministry of Finance is working with IBM and SAP to help automate the countrys tax system as part of the federal governments digital transformation strategy.

IBM Consulting is collaborating with its partner SAP to provide Egypt with an integrated solution based on the SAP Tax and Revenue Management for Public Sector package, according to IBM this month.

The implementation is part of a national project by the Ministry of Finance to automate and digitalize the countrys tax processes and procedures: to integrate the informal economy into the formal economy; enhance governance over tax returns; and expand the tax base. The project is expected to lay the foundations for tax justice and fair competition in markets.

The software package is intended to give the Ministry of Finance a business operations platform to help streamline and automate its processes into intelligent workflows, enhance collaboration, and elevate its citizen experiences.

The package was piloted with 10 tax offices in greater Cairo and will expand across Egypt this year.

Under the collaboration, IBM also implemented IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation, which is set up to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into the ministrys processes and provide taxpayers, tax officers, and collectors with a more automated and governed taxation journey. This offering can help the ministry enhance the accuracy of taxpayer submissions and enable higher-value work, like minimizing tax evasion and increasing tax revenue.

We are honored to be leading such a complex project that can help support the national economy, said Marwa Abbas, GM, IBM Egypt.

We are confident that the integrated core taxation model can support Egypts digital transformation journey.

Mohamed Maait, minister of finance for Egypt, said the government launched its digital transformation strategy to enhance the business ecosystem in Egypt.

Maait said the automation project is part of the national vision to maximize public revenues, and the ministry is keen to adopt advanced technology in its reform agenda.

As hybrid work becomes the new normal, businesses recognize that people arent going back to the office full-time anytime soon. IT environments are changing, with continued migration from on-premise systems to hybrid or multicloud environments. The complexities of diverse environments challenge IT teams to implement and manage consistent security policies. In fact, many businesses spent the past two years attempting to achieve or maintain stability in a storm of uncertainty and rapid change. But what about the future? As enterprises look towards the horizon, there is a need to shift focus from merely surviving to thriving. This is according to the latest survey by Delinea that explores how enterprises address the challenges of future-proofing.

Delineas research explores the important, yet sometimes misunderstood and undervalued topic of future-proofing. It reveals the challenges faced as a security industry and points towards a balanced path of expertise and automation to guide our work.

The report finds that cloud automation is seen as the key to future-proofing cybersecurity, especially when coupled with autonomous privileges and access. The good news? Eighty-six percent of respondents are exploring ways to automate access controls, especially for privileged access. But even with 68% of respondents seeing increases in budgets and staff, they continue to face mounting threats from an expanding threatscape thats challenging to address. Fifty-nine percent of respondents indicate that the leading factor driving their need to future-proof their access security in 2022 is increasingly complex, multicloud IT environments.

But the research points to a conundrum:overconfidence in security preparedness could lead to a security disaster.The survey found that future-proofing becomes even more important when organizations become overly confident in their security measures. Despite the challenges ahead and knowing automation will be critical to their future success, 83% of respondents are confident with their current access controls even astwo out of three companies admit to being victims of cyberattacks.

As cloud migration accelerates, the pressure to manage critical systems in an increasingly complex, dispersed and vulnerable IT environment will continue to rise. Hybrid solutions will become mandatory. As the volume of activity and risk scenarios increase, were likely to rely more heavily on machine learning and autonomous security controls that require no human intervention at all. That will hold true for on-premise and cloud scenarios.

Its the most informed, most forward-thinking leaders who will select the most effective security investments to set their organizations up for future success. The better you prepare for the long term, the more agile and resilient youll be in a time of rapid change.

The report analyzed responses of more than 300 IT business decision-makers through a survey conducted in February 2022 by Census-wide, a global research company.
