Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has expanded its collaboration with NVIDIA to launch industry-specific solutions and offerings that will help customers adopt artificial intelligence (AI) faster and at scale. These solutions and offerings will be delivered through TCS's new business unit, which is focused on NVIDIA under its AI.Cloud business unit. TCS's new business unit builds on a collaboration with NVIDIA for over five years, brings together the complementary capabilities of both organizations and offers tailored offerings for various industries. Enterprises worldwide are racing to adopt AI, but there is no consensus on an AI adoption strategy, according to the recent TCS AI for Business Study. The AI adoption journey for every enterprise is unique and involves an interplay of AI and existing enterprise capabilities. AI adoption at scale requires an intimate understanding of the enterprise and its practices and building AI models that are customized for the context. The new unit will design and deliver curated AI adoption strategies by leveraging global centres of excellence (CoEs), investments in the NVIDIA AI platform - including accelerated computing and AI software, and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse platforms - and skilled resources The new unit also offers TCS' proprietary framework, which brings together its deep domain expertise, enterprise contextual knowledge and NVIDIA AI technology for building and deploying agentic AI solutions - including NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints, which are part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform and NVIDIA AI Foundry - to deliver value at scale to customers. TCS and NVIDIA have collaborated to build innovative, value chain-centric solutions and offerings for industry verticals on the NVIDIA AI platform. They include: 1. TCS Manufacturing AI for Industrials: This offering leverages the power of AI and large language models (LLMs) to transform raw data into actionable insights for manufacturing enterprises. While general-purpose LLMs lack the capabilities to understand specific industry nuances, TCS' Manufacturing AI for Industrials LLMs leverage the company's contextual knowledge, technical prowess, and the power of NVIDIA's application frameworks to help accurately address industry challenges. 2. TCS AI Spectrum for BFSI: This offering delivers innovative and secure ways of infusing the power of LLMs and AI into BFSI lines at enterprise scale. Built on the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform, it enables faster decision-making, improved regulatory compliance and enhanced risk management for financial institutions. 3. TCS Cognitive Visual Receiving: This is a holistic composite AI offering built on NVIDIA AI Enterprise and Omniverse that revolutionizes retail warehousing with greater accuracy, efficiency and speed by automating quality checks, product identification, measurement and attribute extraction. 4. TCS AI-Native Telco Offerings: These offerings built on NVIDIA AI and NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin enable telcos to rapidly create custom telco domain-specific models to meet business needs such as autonomous network anomaly management, billing & revenue assurance, 3D network visualization and customer experience. 5.

Wie gestaltet man eine wirksame Datenstrategie? Welche Rolle spielt das Zusammenspiel von Business und IT? Und wie schafft man den Spagat zwischen Vision und praktischer Umsetzung? Darum geht es in der neuen Episode von MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS, in der Host Jonas Rashedi mit Dennis Peuser spricht. Nach 12 Jahren bei adesso verantwortet er dort im Bereich Data & Analytics eine Business Unit, deren Fokus auf Data Advisory Themen und AI-Solutions liegt. Im Gespräch der beiden Data-Experten geht es zunächst um den grundlegenden Ansatz: Eine Datenstrategie braucht sowohl eine klare Vision als auch konkrete Use Cases, die das Thema greifbar machen. Dennis erklärt, wie wichtig es ist, alle Beteiligten von Anfang an einzubinden. Eine Datenstrategie ist mehr als ein Dokument - sie muss von den Menschen im Unternehmen getragen werden. Dafür empfiehlt er, verschiedene Workstreams aufzusetzen und Key Player aus der Organisation einzubinden. Besonders spannend sind seine Einblicke in typische Herausforderungen: Oft sprechen IT und Fachabteilungen nicht die gleiche Sprache und haben unterschiedliche Prioritäten. Während die IT, technische Schulden abbauen will, steht beim Business die Effizienzsteigerung im Vordergrund. Dennis teilt konkrete Beispiele, wie man diese Gegensätze überbrücken kann. Sein Ansatz: Mit einem Leuchtturmprojekt starten und darüber Akzeptanz schaffen. Wichtig dabei ist das richtige Stakeholder-Management. Die Diskussion dreht sich auch um aktuelle Entwicklungen wie Gen AI. Dennis betont: Ohne solide Datenbasis und -strategie lassen sich die Potenziale nicht nutzen. Erst müssen die Grundlagen stimmen. Zum Schluss gibt Dennis noch unterhaltsame Einblicke in seine private Datenleidenschaft: Die Optimierung der perfekten Espresso-Zubereitung. Mit Block dokumentiert er akribisch Parameter wie Mahlgrad und Durchlaufzeit - sehr zum Schmunzeln seiner Partnerin.

Dans ce nouvel épisode des Kesako RSE, avec Claire Nayme, nous abordons la mise en place d'une gouvernance RSE efficace. Au de la de la sensibilisation et de la formation les parties prenantes internes, il est crucial d'identifier et de structurer une gouvernance projet adaptée. Nous discutons de l'importance des groupes de travail par Business Unit ou service et de la formation d'un comité de pilotage (COPIL) RSE, qui inclut des dirigeants et des représentants des employés. La désignation d'un responsable de la démarche RSE est essentielle, qu'il s'agisse d'une nouvelle nomination ou d'un rôle existant, comme celui du directeur qualité.La règle des deux pizzas, popularisée par Amazon, est citée pour illustrer l'importance de garder les équipes petites et maniables, favorisant ainsi une collaboration plus efficace et une prise de décision plus rapide. Enfin, nous mettons en lumière comment la gouvernance RSE doit évoluer : de la disparition des groupes de travail après la livraison des livrables à la pérennité du COPIL, garantissant le suivi continu et l'intégration de la RSE dans la gestion quotidienne de l'entreprise. Cet épisode vous prépare également à la prochaine étape cruciale : le diagnostic RSE, jetant les bases pour des améliorations continues et un impact durable.

Nach dem Berufsstart in der Unternehmensberatung war sie Leiterin einer Business Unit bei Altran und hat dort wie schon vorher in der Beratung für die Automobilindustrie gearbeitet. Danach folgten 8 Jahre bei der Daimler AG, zuletzt für vier Jahre als Abteilungsleiterin "Strategische Organisationsentwicklung”. Seit 2018 ist sie Professorin für Unternehmensstrategie an der ESB Business School der Universität Reutlingen und zusätzlich berät und trainiert sie seit 2019 mit der von ihr gegründeten talentista GmbH Menschen und Unternehmen auf ihrem Weg zu hybriden Arbeitsmodellen. Gut für uns? Das ist ihre Einstellung zu Podcast-Interviews! “Ich höre sie nicht nur selbst in Endlosschleife, ich gebe sie auch wahnsinnig gerne!” Seit über 6 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt - statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 390 Folgen haben wir uns mit über 450 Menschen darüber unterhalten, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass es gerade jetzt wichtig ist. Denn die Idee von “New Work” wurde während einer echten Krise entwickelt. Wie genau gelingt eigentlich Hybrid Work und was ändert sich bei Hybrider Führung? Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

The AI model can detect hundreds of objects within a frame very accurately, which is a hard technical problem to solve. They are deployed in several facilities and are growing rapidly.On this episode, we'll talk about:Does the robotics have the capability of even doing a better job than humans sitting there going through it?Does having these robotics sort out the materials at the end, boost the MRF's profitability, or is it a break even point?What are the materials that the robots are optimized to collect the most of, and which ones are they unable to capture?Does it ever get tricked?With materials like glass and aluminum, are there different ways that those are collected at MRF's currently? And can robots be used to improve that collection rate or not?How did they settle on the type of robot that they picked?Do they see that there's a lot of room for the robotics to continue to improve to make their robotics process that much more effective, or is it pretty good right now?When Apurba first started getting into the recycling industry, what surprised him the most?What does he put in the recycling bin as someone who has a solid understanding of what is genuinely recycled?Are we still in the early adopter stage for MRFs using robots, or have we passed that point? Is it approaching mass adoption?Of all the things Apurba could be focusing on, why did he pick this?Apurba Pradhan has over 18 years of experience in the technology industry.

AIOps is what you get when you combine big data and machine learning to automate IT operations processes, including event correlation, anomaly detection and causality determination. At least, that's how Gartner defines AIOps. Based on this definition, as well as coverage of vendors that have products they label with the AIOps moniker, you'd be inclined to think that AIOps is mostly about anomaly detection and remediation. But what about provisioning, configuration, deployment and orchestration? These are all essential parts of IT operations which have not received as much AIOps attention. They also happen to be at the core of Ansible, Red Hat's open source IT automation tool.  Now Red Hat is embarking on a new direction for Ansible with Project Wisdom, aiming to take automation to the next level in collaboration with IBM Research. Red Hat refers to Project Wisdom as the first community project to create an intelligent, natural language processing capability for Ansible and the IT automation industry. We connected with Red Hat Vice President & General Manager for the Ansible Business Unit Tom Anderson to discuss Project Wisdom's premises, status and trajectory.
