Improvement is a non ending necessity for any business to survive in this competitive industry. It is well known that bringing right technological change in business cuts the cost of production specially when the human labor costs too high and are replaceable with technology. In various surveys, it has been found that HR spends most of the time in transactional jobs such as data entry and minor mathematical calculations. These tasks can be automated by bots and this human resource can be provided proper certifications and they can be utilized for better tasks. There was a survey done in an organization. They implemented technology which improved the onboarding time of people from 120 minutes to 3 minutes. And the man power can be used for more important tasks such as decision making.

Packing and moving your living space is quite a headache. Especially in India, most of the people try to find someone providing the cheap shifting services and hence get trapped as they do not provide safety to your good, thus resulting in an expensive net cost. Thankfully, technology is again helping humans to get a fair deal in terms of safety of good and proper quotation of charges. Some of the reallocating companies have started to use AI based softwares that can quote exact amount to be charged from customers based of the quantity and nature of goods, destination, path to destination, floor of new location, whether lift is present or not and many more relevant factors. These softwares also helps to find the price for the goods so that they can have an insurance of that amount. Customers can also use the GPS technology to track their goods while they are being shifted to a place too far.

It’s really fascinating to see how we are generating an incredible amount of data every minute. Plenty of blogs and articles have been written stating that the better utilization of this data may result in more profit generation for the organization. So here are some tips to begin with the path of better utilization.

Currently what most of the organizations see is they are Creating data, and they want to generate some additional revenue from it, but they miss how to link these two aspects. 

To begin with, they must consider to use the Big Data Engines like Hadoop, Google Bigdata, Horton Works, MongoDB or anything similar. They help to find the patterns and correlations between different types of data.

Next is Data Warehousing. Data warehousing is not just maintaining a database. It has many advantages over the traditional databases. 

And another important step is Data Visualization. From the above two steps we have the data properly managed and organized. In this step we visualize the data in a productive manner.

The world is becoming more digital. Health industry has also turned mostly digital and maintains every record and every detail in digital format. This has many pros but it also bring some threats like in terms of data security. Health industry keeps a lot of information about a person like their name, date of birth, address, card numbers, contact numbers, insurance details and many more. 

There are the following 3 reasons why these data needs to be protected :- 

•  To avoid identity theft.

•  For the patient’s safety.

•  For the reputation of the hospital and healthcare providers.

To ensure data security, just installing the antivirus is not enough. There must be other features like data encryption, limited access and modification of the data and limited transmission and sharing of data.

For any organization, it is necessary to keep a track of the data created, data pulled, the source from where it is pulled, the format of the data they have been using till now, who can access this data and many more. There are many strategies for managing the data but there’s nothing as a perfect strategy. It varies from organization to organization and types of data. Another important factor is size of organization and its budget. The following are the three factors that can help in managing the data in a better way i.e. as per the GDPR rules.

1. Centralization of data

2. Automating data management 

3. Measuring Success.

Scientists from Fudan University, Shanghai, recently published their research revealing an all new type of memory. We have heard about RAM and ROM, and both of these memories have their own limitations like RAM is volatile but Super-fast and ROM can store huge amount of data but it is Very slow. This all new type of memory is claimed to be able to store data as long as we want. This technology works on two dimensional semi-floating gate transistors. Unfortunately, research is still going on and we will require to use our traditional RAM ROM for a little long till this research turns out to be a public product. And also there’s no doubt that this technology can bring revolution in terms of data storage, security, data transfer and many more.

Recently a team of researchers developed an AI based system that can write codes for the programmers and it can also predict the solutions for them. The system uses neural sketch learning method of deep learning to recognize patterns in millions of codes written in Java. Also, the system itself is trained by using millions of Java programs. Currently, it can be used to evaluate undocumented APIs that can be quite difficult for any programmer to use. This is the starting and we can visualize the upcoming future of how AI can help programmers in writing codes, moreover solving the problems which are quite difficult to solve by humans or may take a long time. 

As the time passes by, it becomes a boring schedule to do the same task over and over again. Everyone wishes for some promotions in his career. There are some people who wish to move from complete IT and coding schedule to some IT management routine. So here are some tips for moving in that direction. 

Keep a check on the company visions and missions. Talk with your managers regarding how the company is performing and what are its future perspectives. Begin with leading your own team. Give your contribution in both technical and managerial rolls .Consult others on how they use the technology to achieve the same business task. Try picking up some managerial skills. All this small efforts will guide you in the path towards an IT Manager.

Evidently, there has been massive adaptation of cloud in the industry. As everything begins to operate on cloud, it also generates massive amount of data. Also, just IoT is not just enough, because it’s no more just a “Thing”; this thing, now, can be an automated car, a drone or anything which makes it a necessity to think beyond Cloud computing and brings us a glimpse of Edge computing. Edge computing can significantly provide better throughput, improved performance, and customised processing of data as per the needs of each user.

On 29th June 2018, NASA launched, CIMON, the very first AI-Powered robot into the space. The bot is built with a really interactive AI program which is meant to interact with the people in the space station. Also, it can even assess the human mood and is programmed to answer the voice commands in English. And one more great thing, is it is unlike any mechanical bot/part of space station. It has got its own smiley like face on a space and it can itself move around the space station in zero gravity. It is really interesting to see the pace and direction of technological advancements.
