By: Stephen Watt

Staying current with the latest emerging technologies and trends and identifying which ones are a fit for your organization is not easy.

What is High-Efficiency AI?

By: Francisco Webber

Despite their popularity, steam-powered cars had a very short life. Why? Because they needed up to 30 minutes to start. They were rapidly replaced by automobiles with internal combustion engines and electric starters. Automobilists abandoned their beloved steam cars because they wanted efficiency. The shift toward electric cars we are experiencing in the first decades of the 21st century is motivated by their higher energy efficiency compared to conventional cars—60 percent versus 20 percent. The pattern is the same: it is all about efficiency…

The Energy Savings Imperative
for Mobile Networks

By: Cesar Morillas Arcos

Telecom operators are some of the biggest energy users in the world, responsible for up to three percent of global energy demand.

Digital Transformation's Unsung Hero

By: Mark Dickey, Todd Miller

Digital transformation has been on the lips of most technology executives since the personalization of information technology (IT) started in the late 1990s. As a technologically knowledgeable workforce started to push the envelope to have the same level of digitization at the workplace as they have in their personal life, organizations have had their sights set on modernizing applications and technology infrastructure in a never-ending quest to keep pace with a changing technology landscape. Unfortunately, a key component in delivering the user experience organizations crave is often forgotten: the network, the “unsung hero…

Letter from the Editor

By: Scott St. John, Pipeline

In my last letter, I wrote “Automation has become a business imperative.” I went on to explain how automation could be applied to solve a whole host of challenges facing businesses today.  But I stopped a little short of talking about how some organizations are leveraging automation to thrive in today’s, let’s just say, “dynamic” environment. It wasn’t unintentional, and it’s really what this month’s issue is all about.
