A new Deltek analysis shows that the U.S. Air Forces spending on other transaction agreements for cloud-based prototypes has dropped since fiscal year 2020.

Data indicates that the service branchs spending on cloud-related OTAs fell from $131 million in FY 2020 to $35 million in FY 2021 and bounced back a bit in FY 2022 at $51 million, Alex Rossino, an advisory research analyst at Deltek, wrote in a blog post published Wednesday.

He noted that the establishment of enterprise cloud environments at the Air Force, including Cloud ONE and Platform ONE, could be attributed to the downward trend when it comes to OTA spending.

With these in place there has not been as much of a need for special contracts, such as those awarded via OTA, Rossino wrote.

The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center emerged as the top cloud-related OTA spender in the past three fiscal years, recording $141.7 million in total spending between FY 2020 and FY 2022.

Rossino said he expects the services use of OTA for cloud computing to recover as it advances the use of commercial technology to address emerging challenges.

Cloud computing has revolutionised the IT industry over the past decade, enabling businesses to outsource many of their IT functions to remote servers, reduce operational costs, improve efficiencies, and enhance flexibility.

By Michele Cito, director: partner sales regional at Red Hat

While the private sector has been quick to adopt cloud-based solutions, the public sector has been slower in its uptake. However, this trend is slowly changing as more and more governments and public institutions in the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) region are embracing cloud services to drive innovation, streamline operations, and achieve cost savings.

Traditional on-premise IT systems are expensive to acquire, install, and maintain, and require significant IT personnel resources to operate effectively. In contrast, managed cloud services eliminate the need for large capital investments in IT infrastructure and reduce operational costs by providing a pay-per-use model. According to a survey conducted by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) in 2020, cost savings were cited as the most significant driver for cloud adoption among public sector organisations in the EU.

For example, in EMEA our public sector customers are showing their need to accelerate their cloud adoption, differentiating their cloud deployments between public cloud and sovereign cloud, depending on the sensitivity of the information and services managed.

Cloud services refer to the delivery of on-demand computing resources, including applications, storage, and processing power, over the internet. Instead of owning and maintaining physical servers and other infrastructure, cloud services allow businesses and individuals to use a shared pool of resources that are maintained and managed by a third-party provider.

Cloud services offer several advantages, such as scalability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use, making them an increasingly popular choice for businesses and individuals looking to leverage technology to achieve their goals.

Improving agility and responsiveness

Managed cloud services can help public sector institutions to improve their agility and responsiveness to changing business environments. Cloud-based solutions offer enhanced flexibility, scalability, and availability, enabling organizations to rapidly adapt to changing business environments without worrying about the constraints imposed by traditional IT infrastructure.

For instance, the Covid-19 pandemic has encouraged many public sector organizations to rapidly adapt to remote work environments, which would have been almost impossible without the use of cloud-based applications.

Another significant benefit of cloud adoption is improved data security and compliance. Cloud providers invest heavily in cybersecurity and data protection, providing organizations with robust security measures and reliable backup solutions.

Additionally, cloud services can help public sector organisations comply with various data privacy and regulatory requirements such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which mandates strict privacy and data protection measures for EU citizens.

Despite the many advantages of cloud adoption, public sector organizations in EMEA face specific challenges when transitioning to the cloud. One of the biggest obstacles is the complex regulatory environment, which often differs across regions and countries. Moreover, many public sector organizations face resistance from IT personnel who are hesitant to embrace new technologies and processes; this challenge can be overcome by investing in staff training and development programs.

In addition, digital sovereignty is a growing concer as companies and governments are increasingly relying on cloud providers to store and process their data. The issue arises from the fact that cloud providers, often located in other countries, have access to sensitive data and can be subject to the laws and regulations of their own jurisdictions.

To address this issue, there is a need to establish policies and regulations that promote digital sovereignty, such as data localization requirements and the development of domestic cloud services, while also ensuring that international data flows are not unduly restricted.

In conclusion, the public sector adoption of cloud computing services in EMEA is picking up pace, driven by cost savings, increased agility, and data protection benefits. Although challenges remain, public sector institutions that proactively embrace cloud technologies can gain significant benefits in terms of operational efficiencies, cost savings, and improved security. With the right strategies and investments, the public sector can deliver more responsive and cost-effective services to citizens, enabling them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

The COVID pandemic acted as a forcing function for the food and beverage industry to speed up their digital transformation. It was a perfect storm that revealed all of the cracks in the industrys foundation the rigidity of supply chains and the precariousness of the labor situation, to name just two. The rules of the game changed practically overnight, and many manufacturing operations broke because they werent flexible enough to bend.

As a result, manufacturers started taking a close look at their operations and rethinking them with an eye toward increasing agility and resilience. Now, macroeconomic uncertainty is reinforcing the need for businesses to prepare for the unexpected. This article takes a deep dive into what agility and resilience mean for the F&B industry, as well as how digital technologies can help manufacturers achieve these goals and, in doing so, future-proof their organizations.

It was very easy during the pandemic to see what happens when food and beverage operations arent agile or resilient: grocery shelves were empty. A USDA study found that median stock-out rates of fixed-weight items increased roughly 130% following March 15, 2020. The categories with the highest stock-out rates included meat and poultry products, convenience and frozen foods, baby formula, and carbonated beverages. The reasons for these stock-outs ranged from ingredient and packaging materials shortages to a lack of truck drivers to transport product, to consumers stockpiling non-perishables, to manufacturers that normally supply for foodservice being unable to transform their operations for retail.

But what does it mean to be agile and resilient?

These two qualities are often talked about in the same breath, as if theyre the same thing. But there are some key differences.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology defines them like this:

Steve Banker, VP of supply chain services at ARC Advisory Group, offers a colorful description:

Agility is an action, or the ability to take action; resilience is a strategy, or a business mindset. You have to be agile in order to be resilient.

So, in practical terms, what does an agile and resilient food and beverage manufacturer look like?

Here are some key hallmarks:

Digital transformation is the key to food and beverage manufacturers becoming agile, resilient organizations. Used correctly, almost any digital technology can contribute to this effort. Here, well look at a few of the critical solutions F&B companies should consider.

A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical system, such as a manufacturing plant or an entire supply chain. By using digital twins, manufacturers can simulate different scenarios and test the impact of different decisions before implementing them in the real world. This can help manufacturers make more informed decisions, reduce the risk of costly mistakes, and become more responsive to changing market conditions.

In a whitepaper on Building Operational Resilience and Agility, Deloitte outlined how an India-based dairy cooperative used a digital twin to increase their revenue by $98 million during COVID lockdowns:

First, they had partnered with a technology provider to create a digital twin of their supply chain ecosystem, including supplier locations, plants, and customers / retailers. Using this system, they could see the capacity at which plants were operating, how many trucks were operational, and any idle capacity. They could also easily track customer demand, and they saw the demand for cheese and condensed milk increase sharply.

To meet this demand, the company started operating at 115% capacity. It used the digital twin to identify idle capacity and distribute the load. It then started using rail transport, which was considered an essential service, and secured partnerships with multiple e-commerce retailers. In addition, they increased advertising.

According to Deloitte, the digital twin allowed the company to reconfigure its agile supply chain ecosystemto sell more products and manage crises better.

When I started writing about the food industry back in 2015, many people I spoke with were hesitant about cloud computing. They were concerned with security risks and protecting their proprietary information. Today, the cloud is widely considered to be more secure than on-premises software.

EY calls cloud computing foundational for companies that are ambitious about moving and transforming at speed, meeting elevated customer expectations, and future-proofing their business. This is largely because of its speed and ability to connect multiple systems, providing the real-time end-to-end visibility that is a hallmark of an agile and resilient operation.

Digital twins and cloud computing fall under the umbrella of Industry 4.0. There are several other technologies in this category, and a group of researchers recently performed an analysis to identify which technologies have a direct impact on various supply chain resilience elements such as flexibility, redundancy, visibility, robustness, and information sharing.

Their conclusion? All of them contribute to resilience. For agility specifically, these are the technologies they identify: Internet of Things (e.g., sensors), cloud computing, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, digital twins, blockchain, industrial robotics, and additive manufacturing.

ERP is one of the best tools in a food and beverage manufacturers toolbox for informing day-to-day operations because it supports automation and processes across the entire business and provides real-time data to inform decision-making. According to ECI Software Solutions 2021 State of Manufacturing Digital Transformation survey, nearly 95% of manufacturers that use ERP say it helped them manage the impacts of the pandemic.

In a blog post, ECI Software Solutions highlighted four ERP trends that help manufacturers stay resilient:

Its clear that food and beverage manufacturers need to harness the power of digital technologies to future-proof their organizations. So, how do you do it? Just like with ERP, theres no one-size-fits-all answer. Every companys journey will be different.

Here are five recommendations from Deloitte for companies to target their digital transformation efforts:

Becoming truly agile and resilient requires food and beverage manufacturers to think about their operations a little differently than they did 10 or 20 years ago. By looking at their entire business ecosystem with an eye toward preparing for the unexpected, companies can ensure the ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances (agility), which will support future-proofing, no matter what the future might bring (resilience). Embracing the digital transformation is the only way the industry will be able to reach this lofty goal.

Speaking to TechGraph, JPS Kohil, Founder & Chairman of SkillUp Online said, In line with the Netflix experience, I believe that AI and cloud technology can provide invaluable insights into learner behavior and preferences.

Read the interview:

- Advertisement -

TechGraph: Could you help give a sense of how SkillUp Online has come in its five years of existence?

JPS Kohli: When I started SkillUp in 2016, my 25 years of experience in cloud-based learning, which included being Director of Online Training at Microsoft, revealed a problem in the industry. Though education was shifting from face-to-face learning which limits numbers to online self-paced learning which is available to anyone, anytime, anywhere completion rates for online courses were very low. I believed the human touch was missing and created SkillUp to solve this problem.

The business has grown based on a learner-centric training methodology that balances a technology-driven ethos with a human-centered approach. We focus on future skills training that keeps professionals relevant in this changing world.

Our course catalog includes fields such as artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, cloud computing, cybersecurity, etc.

However, we also offer human skills training that enables professionals to develop the leadership, team building, time management, collaboration, and problem-solving skills that businesses desperately need.

To further the SkillUp vision, we then launched our dedicated training platform SkillUp Online in 2019. SkillUp Online is a hybrid learning platform that focuses on learning outcomes namely skills, practical experience, and certifications and learner outcomes where improved skills and practical experience facilitate access to better career opportunities, higher salaries, and future-proof jobs.SkillUp now operates in the US, Europe based in Portugal and India. The company has partnered with top organizations, including Microsoft, IBM, and Google Cloud for technical learning content, and NASSCOM and Pacific Lutheran University (USA) for extended reach.

TechGraph: How is SkillUp Online, facilitating the entire learning process digitally?

JPS Kohli: The SkillUp Online platform offers a mix of online self-paced learning, peer-to-peer interaction, and online instructor-led sessions. We utilize a flipped learning methodology that blends the best that instructor-led training and self-paced learning have to offer.

This includes high-quality technical training content developed with industry partners such as Microsoft, IBM, and Google, substantial hands-on learning, practical projects, soft skills coaching, and real-world capstone projects. And the outcome is learners develop job-ready tech and human skills that are aligned with the specific roles employers are desperately seeking to fill. This, in turn, gets learners better jobs, faster, than if theyd trained elsewhere.

Additionally, we also provide a valuable human touch to ensure our learners fly. For example, we offer 1-to-1 online mentoring with subject experts who are there to provide support, spot when learners need a nudge, answer questions, and personalize their learning.

Recent projects with NASSCOM and IBM Skills Build are outstanding examples of the success of our approach. Through these initiatives alone, the business has trained over 125,000 learners and achieved 67%+ completion rates. That alone is impressive, but what were proud of is the fact that weve achieved this by focusing specifically on learner outcomes higher employability, better salaries, and improved promotion opportunities.

- Advertisement -

TechGraph: How is the response so far to your online courses?

JPS Kohli: Our focus on career-aligned skills has prompted a very good response. Our learners are building skills that their traditional degree hasnt covered, and theyre achieving great results quickly.

But the stats speak for themselves. With 67%+ completion rates in comparison to MOOC completion rates of 3%-5% its clear that the business is not only enabling deep learning at scale but also helping learners to build successful careers quickly.

To build on this success, weve launched a unique collection of cutting-edge programs that enable learners with minimal tech experience to get job-ready and hit the ground running. For example, our popular TechMaster Certificate Programmes cover data science, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. The strapline for these new programs Designed to get you hired! Perfectly encapsulates our focus on learner outcomes. And learners are welcoming the opportunity to invest their time and money to get a better job and higher salary quickly.

TechGraph: What are the new trends in AI & Machine Learning and the Big Data space?

JPS Kohli: The opportunities appearing through AI, machine learning, and big data are very exciting for edtech. The strides being taken in natural language processing (NLP) are highlighting the genuine possibility of AI instructors now. Though, at SkillUp the human touch will always remain an important aspect of our offering too.

Generative AI is also exploding, with ChatGPT and Bard taking the world by storm. This may soon facilitate new and up-to-date content being accessed and presented automatically in courses through machine learning. It will most likely start with text-based updates being made. But I see no reason why images, video, and even music wont follow shortly too. Content will always need to be moderated by a human being, of course, to check its accuracy. However, the process of updating content will be speeded up considerably.

Edge computing also deserves a mention here, with AI processes managing applications locally, as opposed to centrally, to reduce latency. And Im also excited about explainable AI XAI where soon, for example, powerful algorithms will provide descriptions and explanations for why decisions were made in a scenario.

TechGraph: SkillUp Online has been collaborating with different industry experts and technology partners to enhance the students learning experience. Going forward, do you see more such engagements?

JPS Kohli: Absolutely. Learning from industry experts is critical to the learners outcome once theyve completed a course. Ensuring that the right expertise and support are in place is core to the philosophy of SkillUp. Our approach to learning blends traditional expert input with self-paced learning; achieving the right balance is very important to us. Weve found that learners need experts to show them how something is done, so they can then go and practice it themselves.

However, in addition to using skilled instructors and industry experts in our programs, we also ensure we provide high-quality technical training content developed with industry partners such as Microsoft, IBM, and Google. Our technology partners enable us to include a lot of practical, hands-on material in our courses.

As learners work through a course, they get their hands dirty working on labs created by our industry partners. Plus, they are supported by proactive 1-to-1 mentoring from SkillUp Online technical experts. And with this approach, we make it easier and quicker for learners to gain the employable skills backed by real practical experience they need to get a better job.

TechGraph: What is the state of online skill development and learning platforms in the Indian market, especially for Gen Z?

JPS Kohli: Gen Z learners in general, including India, are the digital natives of our world. They intuitively know how to work an app without training. They are happy to consume bite-size chunks of content. And theyve got the confidence to keep up with the fast pace of change in a digital environment. Their challenge, though, is that a give-it-a-go attitude isnt enough they need employable skills.

This is where online courses come to the fore. The young professionals of today are very comfortable learning online via videos, sound bites, and well-defined learning paths. Online courses facilitate quick and easy access to such modular learning. And because, yes, learners still need nudging, skills-building courses that provide good mentoring support are achieving results much faster than traditional training.

The predisposition of Gen Zs ability to consume digital content, coupled with the clear need for upskilling in hot fields such as artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning, is creating a match made in heaven.And this means that learning platforms that dont just shell out certificates, but instead ensure learners are armed with employable skills and practical experience to get a job quickly, will make the difference.

TechGraph: How do technologies, namely Al, machine learning, and cloud, have relevance in online courses? What will the future look like?

JPS Kohli: People have gotten used to technology making recommendations based on their user profile; Netflix and Amazon are excellent examples. Edtech learners are no different, and they are now expecting this tailored experience in the learning arena too.

In line with the Netflix experience, I believe that AI, machine learning, and cloud technology can provide invaluable insights into learner behavior, preferences, and needs. And by making good use of the power of machine learning, SkillUp is planning to use technology to tailor custom learning plans for individuals and offer them choices in how they learn and how they are supported to learn.

This personalized approach also has another aspect, though. To speed up deep skilling at scale, future-focused learning platforms like SkillUp Online will need to harness AI and machine learning to power continual learning. And I anticipate this will include adaptive learning, where the progression of the course content will vary depending on the pace of the learners uptake in understanding.

Generative learning powered by content created by algorithms akin to ChatGPT will also soon be working for hand in glove with explainable AI (XAI). This will take personalized, continual learning to new heights, with online courses always providing the relevant skills of the moment.

TechGraph: What has the response so far been to code learning courses on your platform?

JPS Kohli: With the explosion of AI and data science across the industry, its no surprise that our coding courses are popular. A great example is Python. Python is used across all industries and Python skills learned with SkillUp Online can be applied in many ways. This ensures our learners have transferable skills that will enhance their career opportunities considerably.

Because of this, weve made a point of integrating core Python skills into our flagship TechMaster Certificate portfolio. So, not only are learners developing specific Python skills but depending on the field they are training for, be it AI, data science, cloud computing, etc, they are also learning how to use their Python skills with other coding competencies. And this approach ensures they do have the skills they need to get hired.
