Back in 2011, Marc Andreessen famously said that “Software is eating the world” and everyone gushed into the room. This was as much a writing on the wall for many traditional enterprises as it was wonderful news for the software industry.  “To know your future you must know your past” ― George Santayana -1863 - 1952 Industry 4.0 The 4th revolution is driven by giant leaps in ICT innovation and promises to radically alter the face of industry in the coming decades, based on a network-centric communication between players, humans and systems that implement high quality business processes and management, in the entire value network, including the end-users.

Dutch parlement preliminary parlement hearing. - Dutch Housing Crisis. Large groups of Dutch people have little or no access to a home in the current housing crisis. Mensen maken zich grote zorgen. Kunnen mijn kinderen wel een betaalbare woning vinden na hun studie? Als ik in de stad werk, kan ik de huur daar wel betalen of een huis kopen? Deze zorgen zijn terecht. Er is in Nederland sprake van een groot woningtekort. Vooral voor starters en middeninkomens is het moeilijk om aan een betaalbare woning te komen.  De behoefte aan betaalbare, duurzame en passende woningen is groot in Nederland. Zeker bij de groep starters en middeninkomens zijn de mogelijkheden om toe te treden tot de woningmarkt beperkt. Op dit moment is er in Nederland een tekort van 331.000 woningen, zo’n 4.2% van de totale woningvoorraad.  Tot 2030 zijn zeker 845.000 woningen nodig om te voorkomen dat het woningtekort verder oploopt. Zowel op de huur- als de koopmarkt blijkt het lastig te zijn voor starte...

In the recent SAP iRPA Hackathon - september 2020, the itelligencegroup team demonstrated positive and intelligent robotic process automation experiences. To understand this, you need to know what is going on under the hood: Integrated the digital human platform, SAP Conversational AI, and seven iRPA bots to incorporate webpages, SAP S/4HANA, machine learning, and email. The conversational AI allows Thorsten to use his voice to communicate in his natural language. The iRPA bots carry out the hard work upon Hackstrid’s command. To recognize and categorize the requests in Thorsten’s inbox, we deploy state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques. This meant that we could also capture email semantics and entities. We used transfer learning from a two-million-word deep learning model with 685,000 unique vectors of 300 dimensions. From here, we retrained the last layer of the deep learning model to learn classification schemes for our particular problem.   SAP i...

  By Martijn van Attekum, Jie Mei and Tarry Singh Introduction Marc Andreessen famously said that “Software is eating the world” and everyone gushed into the room. This was as much a writing on the wall for many traditional enterprises as it was wonderful news for the software industry. Still no one actually understood what he meant.  To make his point he stated this example: "Today, the world’s largest bookseller, Amazon, is a software company — its core capability is its amazing software engine for selling virtually everything online, no retail stores necessary. On top of that, while Borders was thrashing in the throes of impending bankruptcy, Amazon rearranged its web site to promote its Kindle digital books over physical books for the first time. Now even the books themselves are software." Marc Andreessen This was 2011.  Marc Andreessen TechCrunch   Interestingly, Andreessen also said th...

How government CIOs can exploit conversational AI to deliver more personalized, digital services to their citizens. Vienna’s residents and tourists do not have to rely on the kindness of strangers or scroll through long lists of website links to find parking, restrooms or other critical information. They can simply use WienBot, the Austrian city’s chatbot. Available via Facebook Messenger, WienBot provides answers to an array of user questions and continuously learns from the interactions — even pre-empting questions as it captures the most frequently used terms. WienBot is a perfect example of how governments can use artificial intelligence (AI) to go digital, one of the biggest challenges for cities, states and nations worldwide. Bettina Tratz-Ryan, research vice president at Gartner, says developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-powered chatbots will allow government CIOs to customize and improve the delivery of services for the citizens they serve. “ 20% of al...

From individual components to the complete intelligent factory, as well as topical trends such as energy efficiency, lightweight construction and additive manufacturing – at HANNOVER MESSE you’ll get a complete picture of the industrial value-adding chain under one roof - in Hannover and worldwide. CeBIT: a HANNOVER MESSE spinoff Over the years, the trade fair grew to include an ever-increasing number of topics. And with the appearance of IT – which was initially considered part of the "office industry" – its main focus on industry threatened to become eclipsed.
