Wondering what business looks like post-COVID? Indeed, each one of us, with absolutely no clue when things will return to their normal and still strategizing to bring the world together as it was before the epidemic. A fundamental approach that steers us through the storm is to embrace these challenging times as an opportunity to redefine and reinvent business operations and become COVID compliant. Business owners around the world have become more vigilant and are on a constant look-out for digital enablement solutions that help them mitigate the losses and rebuild post-outbreak.

Automation plays a vital role here and is likely to become the ‘Future of Work.’ As many organizations toil to tune to the new normal and new demands, automation plays the role of a catalyst that speeds up changes that are on the way — it almost serves as an accelerant.

Leading organizations are adopting an agile approach

With thousands of IT components that work together to run your business and act as key enablers, no one wants to have any IT issues. The key to achieve this is through higher visibility, proactive approach, and predictive analysis of all IT components. Predict IT Issues achieves this by having a well-connected map of IT components across the organization and making predictions using Machine Learning. 

Idea: Predict IT is a combination of two ServiceNow offerings:

Servicenow Discovery Servicenow Performance Analytics

It utilizes out of the box ServiceNow features like Discovery, Alert Management, and Performance Analytics to automate the process of asset registration, monitoring, and issue forecasting. 

Any device which has an IP address can be tracked, and detailed information related to its hardware and software can be extracted automatically without any human intervention. Software licenses can be tracked, and violations can be tracked with a single click.

ServiceNow Discovery is an

Coronavirus pandemic is undeniably a human tragedy, and the global economy is traversing through the most unpredictable and perilous phase, something none of us have ever witnessed and imagined. There is an alarming shift in the focus of business owners, from plans of ‘Exponential Growth,’ to ‘Survival,’ ‘Conservation,’ ‘Cost Efficiency,’ ‘Business Continuity,’ ‘Employee Productivity,’ et al. They have suddenly become the ‘New Pain Points,’ and business owners are struggling to find a way forward.

The speed with which this crisis has hit the world is enormous, and there is an immediate and urgent need to take action and plan ahead. It is almost certain what we have been doing until now is no longer viable. The old formula for success is obsolete now, and we need to drag ourselves out of our comfort zones. ‘Think Different and Think Fast’ have suddenly become the new normal, and we need to look

As the number of distributed systems keeps on increasing, it is tough to understand where the errors are happening. But aggregating our logs together gives a unified understanding of the overall working of our system and helps us identify the error. The idea behind ELK is also to identify the root cause of errors and take corrective measures to prevent further damage.

Overview: During SDLC (System Development Life Cycle), we often face situations where we need to find frequently occurring errors in different pages, methods having exceptions/errors, the performance of the pages/methods, availability of application and server, and many more. Various applications are feed into each other. Debugging is an issue that requires logging into each box to look at the logs for errors. With a small number of apps/boxes, debugging is not an issue, but it quickly becomes tedious as the number of apps/boxes increase!

Idea: With ELK identifying such errors

Supply Chain and Logistics is predominantly an industry which is driven by precision and speed. The industry is mostly governed by a lot of systems and processes, which, when automated drive efficiency, scale, and faster deliveries. RPA optimizes operations and cuts costs and emerges as a replacement for a lot of non-productive, repetitive tasks. 

 Overview: 

Robotics has become a key component of Supply Chain automation and will continue to transform supply chain operations. It is said to have a drastic impact in terms of productivity, efficiency, and accuracy on the Supply Chain and Logistics industry. Among the various benefits that RPA brings to the industry, the prominent ones are real-time inventory visibility and warehouse management. 

 But, before the enterprise dives into implementing RPA, there is a certain level of preparedness and some ground-level modifications that enterprises need to make. A few of them are:

 Process Standardization: The more complex the

Augmented Reality is a technology that superimposes computer-generated objects (3d models, images, text, etc.) on the users’ view of the real world and provides a composite view. It brings forth an unimaginable technological revolution, which has altered the way we conduct business. AR Business Card is one such idea that uses AR to scan the regular business cards and provides detailed information relevant to a business.

Overview: 

Business Cards or Visiting Cards are used by one and all. It gives a brief idea to your visitor about yourself, your business, ways to contact you like your phone number, email id, Skype ID, etc. and links to your company’s social media handles. Business cards are of the utmost importance when you visit a seminar/conference or large public gathering where you meet a lot of current and potential clients and exchange your business cards. The biggest challenge with a traditional business card

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is marked by the growing utilization of technologies like IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, etc. that have made our lives easy and convenient. Still, there are everyday challenges that we face from the moment we step out of our homes until the time we return. The pressing need to solve our daily issues gave rise to innovative ideas like Traffic Analyzer, Smart Parking, and Smart Conference using IoT, which have judiciously addressed them. Read the blog to know how.

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects—“things”—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet. These devices range from ordinary household objects to sophisticated industrial tools. The innovative idea of Traffic Analyzer and others also makes use of IoT to solve a routine life problem.

All teams shared their innovative ideas with the audience and competed to showcase their in-depth knowledge of technology and passion for creating #innovation and #WOW together.

Without much ado, let’s give you a deeper understanding of different ideas at the

BrainBeans has efficiently replaced ‘Just do it’ with ‘Just think it’! 

Based on brain waves technology, BrainBeans is one of the most innovative and appreciated ideas and the cynosure of Innovation Day. The idea harnesses brain waves that are produced from masses of neurons communicating with each other and are detected using an EEG headset.

Overview:

The brain is at the center of everything that we do; it controls and coordinates our actions and reactions and allows us to think and feel, enables us to have memories, feelings, dreams, and a million other things.  It gives us all the things that make us human.

If we want to perform any activity, basic or complex, our brain sends signals to our organs, and we perform the activity. Like, when we want to switch on the light, our brain signals our hands to on the switch and the light turns on.

But

Doing more with less is the biggest benefit that RPA offers to a nonprofit organization and empowers them to transform the way they perform their duties. 

What role can RPA play?

The ultimate objective of implementing RPA in a nonprofit is to have a higher output with fewer resources.  However, the most immediate impact of RPA is on routine tasks that are performed in an error-free, consistent manner. Besides being easy to use, understandable, affordable, and easy to apply, NGOs most importantly need a technology that can free its workforce. And RPA best serves the purpose and allows them to focus on their core activity while the software performs most of their routine business with accuracy and precision.

RPA can automate all processes that are performed on computers and require less or no decision making. In addition to this, RPA performs myriad other tasks like it records data, runs applications,
