Fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) in government is a constant, multi-billion dollar issue that challenges agency leaders at all levels and across all sectors, from healthcare to education to taxation to Social Security. The scope and scale of public spending—federal outlays alone were approximately $6.6 trillion in fiscal year 2020 according to the Congressional Budget Office—make FWA an inherently difficult problem to solve.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a focus for research for decades, but has only recently become truly viable. The availability and maturity of automated data collection and analysis systems is making it possible for businesses to implement AI across their entire operations to boost efficiency and agility. AI has the potential to transform operations by improving three fundamental business requirements: process automation, decision-making based on data insights, and customer interaction.
As digital transformation accelerates, and digital commerce increasingly becomes the dominant form of all commerce, regulators and governments around the world are recognizing the increased need for consumer protections and data protection measures.
Modern businesses have vast amounts of data at their fingertips and are acutely aware of how enterprise data strategies positively impact business outcomes. Despite this, only a handful of organisations interact with all stages of the data life cycle process to truly distill information that distinguishes future-ready businesses from the rest.
Communications service providers (CSPs) are rethinking their approach to enterprise services in the era of advanced wireless connectivity and 5G networks, as well as with the continuing maturity of fibre and Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) portfolios.
The pandemic changed our healthcare behaviors. Planned hospital and doctor visits were reduced while telemedicine, for physical and mental health, increased. As healthcare providers and insurers/payers worked through mass amounts of new data, our health insurance practice was there to help.
Data holds incredible untapped potential for Australian organisations across industries, regardless of individual business goals, and all organisations are at different points in their data transformation journey with some achieving success faster than others. To be successful, the use of data insights must become a central lifeforce throughout an organisation and not just reside within the confines of the IT team. More importantly, effective data strategies don’t stand still.
Some 300 million years ago, Earth had one continent called Pangea. Over millions of years, that vast single land mass broke up and drifted in different directions, creating the seven continents that exist today. Since the planet changed so dramatically over millennia, it raises an obvious question: How will it change in the future? The same forces, plate tectonics and continental drift, that broke up Pangea hundreds of millions of years ago still exert themselves.
The term “AI-first” has received its share of attention lately, especially in the boardroom where strategies to gain a competitive advantage are always welcome. But before a company embarks on an AI-first strategy, it pays to understand what it is and how it will transform the organization.
At a distance of a million miles from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope is pushing the edge of data transfer capabilities. The observatory launched Dec. 25 2021 on a mission to look at the early universe, at exoplanets, and at other objects of celestial interest. But first it must pass a rigorous, months-long commissioning period to make sure that the data will get back to Earth properly. Mission managers provided an update Feb.
