 Despite firm belief in AI plans, businesses’ fragmented AI strategies and execution that overlook end-to-end lifecycles will not deliver successful outcomes Organisations are failing to understand the compute and networking demands across the end-to-end AI life cycle, with fewer than half of IT leaders admitted to having a full understanding of what the demands of the various AI workloads across training, tuning and inferencing might be. While data management was labelled as one of the most critical elements for AI success, only 7% of organisations can run real-time data pushes/pulls and just 26% have set up data governance models and can run advanced analytics. Many businesses are adopting siloed approaches, with only 57% setting one single consolidated strategy. Despite the integral role of legal and compliance functions, 22% of IT leaders aren’t involving legal teams in their business’s AI strategy conversations at all. In a research report commissioned by Hewlett Packard Enter...

Like so many stories these days, it started with the pandemic. When COVID-19 created the need for remote working and social distancing, companies everywhere were forced to rethink their physical workplaces. How many people could they fit into the building? How could they better utilise the space to ensure the safety of those who used it? To answer these questions, companies – and specifically their real estate departments – turned to technology. Or more accurately, to data collecting IoT sensors and devices.  And that’s where it gets interesting! While this data was originally collected to solve an acute problem, companies are now finding that it has opened the door to so many new possibilities, particularly around employee experience, cost-reduction and – increasingly – the critical issue of sustainability.  Mandy Duncan, Aruba Country Manager, South Africa, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company Like so many stories these days, it started with the pandemic.
