The automotive sector is on the cusp of a huge wave of change, rivalled only by historic moments such as Ford Model Ts rolling off the construction line or the deep-seated impact of the 1973 oil crisis. This time, however, it is not just one technological frontier disrupting the sector, but multiple innovations that are already making their mark.

Insurance Nexus by Reuters Events have produced the Connected Auto Insurance 2020 report to make sure Auto insurance businesses; personal or commercial,

Project portfolio management is not a new phenomenon. We all do it as technology executives, and we're likely to be good at it based on traditional norms. The environment of project management has been constantly evolving. Given how market fluctuations control people, processes, and projects, the introduction of a new strategy for project execution is equivalent to stabbing uncertainty.

The term: Project portfolio management

Project portfolio management is the art and science of making investment

By increasing the number of logic gates per chip, the ASIC chip technology reduced the size of electronic products. The market has time and again witnessed the advent of various types and configurations of IC's. When we look around, we note that some ICs can only be used for one particular application, while some ICs can be reprogrammed and used for different applications.

All you need to know about an ASIC chip

The abbreviation ASIC refers to Application Specific Integrated Circuit. Such circuits

Does industry disruption disturb or excite you? Before you answer, consider this. Innovation is not disruption. Disruption is much, much, much bigger. Disruption turns an industry on its head. It creates massive shifts in markets, in how work is done and even if it is done.

Last blog I wrote about that feeling of being like a deer caught in headlights. I said that it was your job to get your colleagues moving from Assessment to Investment (or divestment) to Execution. Alternatively, I could have

Integrating ESG factors into investment decision making is no longer optional, it’s a must. Larry Fink’s recent letter to CEOs re-iterated that long-term decision-making is at the forefront of client demands. The talk has shifted to real investment action.

The Global Sustainable Investment alliance has valued sustainable investments as over $30trn, a 34% surge since 2016 with no sign of slowing down.

However – investors and asset managers still lack critical data, and ESG factors still are suscept

In today’s hyper-connected digital age, it’s not unusual for medium to large-sized companies to have hundreds, or even thousands, of third-party suppliers.

This can range from product suppliers, to billing processors, to cloud providers, and a variety of different services.

This large volume of suppliers can pose a challenge for Chief Security Information Officers (CISO) to properly manage risk, especially when personal or confidential data is shared.

A Risky Misconception – Understanding Supplier

The insurance industry is facing the challenges of disruption caused by the technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Insurance carriers are now able to know more about their customers than ever before. They can use data mining with AI and ML to develop compelling product offerings. Customers may enjoy a more personalized experience that has faster and more accurate claims processing capabilities resulting in vastly improved customer service.

A flexible display is an electronic visual interface that is as flexible as a piece of paper in nature. Since 2000, it's been one of the most trending topics. Several companies have produced various kinds of flexible display prototypes ranging from flexible electronic paper such as display to flexible OLED-based display.

It is important to note that mobile phones do not only have flexible screen displays. On most electronic devices, screens are essentially the last remaining flat surface. The ini

As customer expectations have risen thanks to new platforms and products, so too has the level of technological sophistication as artificial intelligence, chatbots, drones, telematics and apps have become common in multiple industries. The insurance industry is now at a critical juncture as carriers seek to transform their claims processes, using new technologies to meet rising customer expectations and reduce costs. According to a recent survey, over 70% of insurance carriers are looking to inv

Do you Uber? If you do, you probably feel pretty safe getting into the car of a stranger. However, you might not be as safe as you think.

Most people take for granted that Uber does background checks on its drivers, but there are actually a number of shady drivers who have recently been accused of crime, and it’s definitely not the first time they have had run ins with law enforcement. Some of these people are accused of committing crimes against their passengers, and that’s where things really g

The contemporary lending platforms have started exploiting Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies to produce valuable insights from additional data sources. Analyzing digital footprint, for example, has helped bring in a comprehensive borrowers' evaluation. The removal of manual touchpoints also accelerated the time needed to make credit decisions.

Through supporting small businesses with finance, these platforms help create jobs and help the country's overall financial growth

In the age of rapid technological progress, where Digital Transformation  has become pervasive, business applications are getting increasingly complex and interconnected.  The advancement in technology has also helped attackers get more aggressive and inflict more damage to IT systems and applications.  Application security tools and techniques are evolving too, yet most organizations still fall prey to vulnerabilities.  Cybersecurity has become a bigger threat than ever before.

Learn about the importance of risk assessments and how the process of linking your legal requirements can bring a whole host of benefits.

What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is a process in which an employer, or someone competent appointed by an employer, will identify any hazards and evaluate the associated risks within a workplace. This type of risk assessment can be referred to as a HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment). 

In many countries around the world, such as in South A

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an artificial intelligence field that enables machines to interpret, understand and infer meaning from human languages. It is a discipline that focuses on the interaction of data science and human language and scales across many industries. Today, NLP is booming due to the enormous changes in data access and the rise in computational power, which helps practitioners to produce meaningful results in fields such as education, media, banking, and human resources

How prepared are you for a disaster? Most of us are not prepared, at all, yet two-thirds of us live in an area where we are at a moderate to very high risk of experiencing a natural disaster. Here are a few things you should do, today, to start preparing for a “just in case” situation:

Be Aware

Think about your home and where you live. What disasters are likely to occur? Fire, of course, could happen to any of us, and statistics show that there is a 25% chance that you will experience a major fire

Coated papers provide crisp, sharp results in sharp contrast with a smooth, slick look between the printed image and white space. A coated surface gives excellent image canvas with fine detail, providing better contrast between the printed image and the white space (known as ink snap). These are often used in high-end product catalogs and magazines that need "glossy" or "shiny" optics.

Coated vs. Uncoated Paper

The main difference between coated and uncoated paper is how the paper is made. Coated
