Hiren Hasmukh, CEO of Teqtivity, discusses the evolution of his company from its origins as TechCube, a smart locker solution, to a comprehensive IT asset management (ITAM) provider. The initial focus was on helping engineers access devices for app development without the hassle of traditional IT processes. As the company grew, it pivoted towards software solutions that enable organizations to manage their entire IT fleet, including laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, while ensuring compliance and cost savings.Teqtivity's ITAM solution is designed to cater to a wide range of clients, from startups to large enterprises, allowing them to track the lifecycle of their assets from procurement to end-of-life. The company differentiates itself in a mature market through a unique pricing model that charges based on active users rather than the number of assets managed. This approach, combined with customizable software tailored to each client's specific needs, positions Techquivity as a flexible and user-friendly option in the ITAM landscape.Hasmukh also reflects on a significant data breach that impacted one of their customers, emphasizing the lessons learned regarding security posture and the importance of ongoing training and testing. Following the incident, Techquivity implemented more rigorous security measures, including regular penetration testing and the integration of advanced security tools like CrowdStrike to protect their infrastructure and customer data.Looking to the future, Hasmukh shares insights on the role of artificial intelligence in IT asset management, suggesting that AI will serve as an extension of IT teams rather than a replacement. By automating routine tasks, AI can free up IT professionals to focus on more critical security issues. Teqtivity aims to incorporate AI into its roadmap, enhancing its offerings and helping clients achieve greater organizational efficiency and accuracy in asset management.

So one of the tools that we're utilizing in some of our businesses is a dictation tool AI. So that helps to kind of eliminate hours worth of charting and note taking and being able to simplify that. And that gives more time for the physicians to be with those patients as well as the pieces in addition to the physicians giving those doctors more time to be with the patients. That's what they love. That's what their passion is. And giving them more time to do that certainly increases their satisfaction and balance in terms of well being.”*”  We recently rolled out in 2024 our mission vision values and our values specifically around being kind, building trust, innovation and going the extra mile. If you take the first letter of each one of those values, it's be big. And so how do you be big? And so we pull that thread through on everything that we do and ways in which we celebrate employees, ways in which we recognize and put the spotlight on different initiatives that are going on. How are you being big? And that's really a way that we're fostering that culture and creating that experience on a daily basis that people can live by.“*”Bringing groups together that are coming in in this acquisition world that we have been in over the course of many years, bringing people together and building that connection is paramount for people to stack hands, work together and eliminate an us versus them [mindset]. And that to me has really been paramount in how we think about our HR team, but how we set the stage and set the example for the rest of the organization. It's that tone at the top.

We continue our series of conversations about Artificial Intelligence and how it's changing the world around us. Today's episode focuses on the use of AI in the financial sector and both it's potential strengths and weaknesses.Joining the show to help us start making sense of it all is Jessica Ellett. Jessica is a senior manager and lead modeler at Cambridge Technology, a financial services technology startup. Jessica is also an MSBA graduate from the David Eccles School of Business. Jessica shares her insights on developing AI-operationalized applications for large banks, highlighting tools like loan processing applications, financial report generation, and predictive trade outcome models. Frances and Jessica cover the concept of 'human in the middle' AI and the importance of human involvement in AI processes. Jessica also touches on concerns around AI bias, data privacy, and the critical need for business-led AI projects. Jessica also looks forward to what she predicts the landscape of her industry could look like in five years. Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University fm.Show Links:Jessica Ellett | LinkedInCTFSI - Cambridge Technology Financial Services Inc.Master of Science in Business Analytics - The David Eccles School of BusinessDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) • InstagramEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) • Instagram Eccles Experience MagazineEpisode Quotes:How the MSBA programme equipped Jessica to be a voice in the AI space[37:02]: When I first finished in 2018 with the MSBA program, I got multiple job offers afterwards when we moved here to Charlotte, North Carolina. And, often, it was kind of an undefined structure. Hey, what can you help us do? What can you help us know or ask? Help us do this in a better way, or help us ask the right questions. And so I think it's still young enough—I mean, the whole program, data science programs, MSBA programs—within the last 10 years, I would consider that a really young program. And so new talent coming out of those are going to be the thought leaders on how AI gets adopted and how these programs run at different companies. And think about that. So you come out of this program and you think, "Well, I don't know much. I just got this degree, or I don't have a lot of application." But people are willing to listen to you because you've had focused study on this topic more than they have, so for better or for worse, you're going to be a voice in that space.How AI works best with people by having the human in the middle[07:24]: Think of AI as the best assistant you've ever had, but you need the right systems or processes in place to interact with that assistant to get the most out of them, right? So, it's not just building or designing the perfect assistant. It's when am I going to use them? How am I going to use the output? How do I give it the right information to get out of it? What I want—all that interaction. That's human in the middle. You have to design that well to get the most out of it.Why do AI projects need to align with business goals?[41:18]: I'd say AI projects need to align with the business goals, not just tech advancements. You have a shiny new tool, and you want to use it but don't lose sight of what the business goal is. Using a shiny new tool could be expensive. If you suddenly have to build the whole machine that it fits with, that could get expensive. So, I'd say that transformation has to have a business-led approach because it has to align with the business goals. And if none of the business goals are ready or positioned to need AI—which is hard to believe—but it could be possible, then it doesn't fit in the plan or the goals.
