  • Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC Explores Breakthrough Tissue “Fingerprints” Concept for Cancer Diagnostics Using Oracle Cloud Technology
    on 09/07/2020 at 12:00

    Press ReleaseLawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC Explores Breakthrough Tissue “Fingerprints” Concept for Cancer Diagnostics Using Oracle Cloud Technology Tissue “fingerprinting” enables deep-learning algorithm to predict biomarkers, prognosis and theragnosis, set to improve understanding of cancer biology and accelerate clinical workflows, new research finds.Los Angeles and Redwood Shores, CA—Jul 9, 2020 The Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC (“Ellison Institute”) and Oracle reveal a promising two-step technique to train a high-confidence predictive algorithm for enhanced cancer diagnostics. The study uses novel tissue “fingerprints”—discriminating microscopic hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) histologic features—of tumors paired with correct diagnoses to facilitate deep learning in the classification of breast cancer ER/PR/HER2 status.The approach was able to achieve unprecedented diagnostic accuracy for an algorithm of its type and purpose, while using less than a thousand annotated breast cancer pathology slides. The findings suggest that the algorithm’s ability to make correlations between a tumor’s architectural pattern and a correct diagnosis can ultimately help clinicians determine how a tumor will behave to a given treatment.The study was facilitated by Oracle for Research, Oracle’s global program that provides selected researchers with access to Oracle Cloud technology, consulting and support, and participation in the Oracle research user community.The research appears in Scientific Reports.Challenges of medical machine learningThe challenge of developing artificial intelligence (AI) tools to diagnose cancer is that machine learning algorithms require clinically annotated data from tens of thousands of patients to analyze before they can recognize meaningful relationships in the data with consistency and high confidence. An ideal size dataset is nearly impossible to gather in cancer pathology.  Researchers training computers to diagnose cancer typically only have access to hundreds or low thousands of pathology slides annotated with correct diagnoses.To overcome this limitation, the Ellison Institute scientists introduced a two-step process of priming the algorithm to identify unique patterns in cancerous tissue before teaching it the correct diagnoses.“If you train a computer to reproduce what a person knows how to do, it’s never going to get far beyond human performance,” said lead author Rishi Rawat, PhD. “But if you train it on a task 10 times harder than anything a person could do you give it a chance to go beyond human capability. With tissue fingerprinting, we can train a computer to look through thousands of tumor images and recognize the visual features to identify an individual tumor. Through training, we have essentially evolved a computer eye that’s optimized to look at cancer patterns.”The first step in the process introduces the concept of tissue “fingerprints,” or distinguishing architectural patterns in a tumor’s tissue, that an algorithm can use to discriminate between samples because no two patients’ tumors are identical.  These fingerprints are the result of biological variations such as the presence of signaling molecules and receptors that influence the 3D organization of a tumor. The study shows that AI spotted these fine, structural differentiations on pathology slides with greater accuracy and reliability than the human eye, and was able to recognize these variations without human guidance.In this study, the research team took digital pathology images, split them in half and prompted a machine learning algorithm to pair them back together based on their molecular fingerprints.  This practice showcased the algorithm’s ability to group “same” and “different” pathology slides without paired diagnoses, which allowed the team to train the algorithm on large, unannotated datasets (a technique known as self-supervised learning).“With clinically annotated pathology data in short supply, we must use it wisely when building classifiers,” said corresponding author Dan Ruderman, PhD., director of analytics and machine learning at the Ellison Institute. “Our work leveraged abundant unannotated data to find a reduced set of tumor features that can represent unique biology. Building classifiers upon the biology that these features represent enables us to efficiently focus the precious annotated data on clinical aspects.”Once the model was trained to identify breast cancer tissue structure that distinguishes patients, the second step called upon its established grouping ability to learn which of those known patterns correlated to a particular diagnosis.  The discovery training set of 939 cases obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas enabled the algorithm to accurately assign diagnostic categories of ER, PR, and Her2 status to whole slide H&E images with 0.89 AUC (ER), 0.81 AUC (PR), and 0.79 AUC (HER2) on a large independent test set of 2531 breast cancer cases from the Australian Breast Cancer Tissue Bank.While using Oracle Cloud technology, the study’s groundbreaking technique creates a new paradigm in medical machine learning, which may allow the future use of machine learning to process unannotated or unlabeled tissue specimens, as well as variably processed tissue samples, to assist pathologists in cancer diagnostics.“Oracle for Research is thrilled to support and accelerate the Ellison Institute’s trailblazing discoveries through advanced cloud technology,” said Mamei Sun, Vice President, Oracle. “The Ellison Institute’s innovative use of machine learning and AI can revolutionize cancer research, treatment, and patient care – and ultimately improve the lives of many.”Technique democratizes cancer diagnosisIn breast cancer, tumors that express a molecule called estrogen receptor look unique at the cellular level and fall into their own diagnostic category because they typically respond to anti-estrogen therapies.  Currently, pathologists must use chemical stains to probe biopsy samples for the presence of the estrogen receptor to make that diagnosis, and the process is time-consuming, expensive and variable.The established algorithm aims to improve pathologists’ accuracy and efficiency in a digital pathology workflow by directly analyzing tumor images to diagnose them as “estrogen receptor positive” without staining specifically for estrogen receptor. The study’s results support the notion that the use of tissue “fingerprints” may allow for a direct treatment response prediction, potentially obviating the need for molecular staining approaches currently utilized in cancer theragnosis.An exciting application of this technology lies in the possibility of deploying computer-assisted diagnostics in medically underserved regions and developing nations that lack expert pathologists, specialists and the laboratory infrastructure to stain for molecular markers.While the study suggests additional investigation is warranted to gain a deeper understanding of AI’s ability to determine molecular status based on tissue architecture, it sets the stage for future applications where the technique could potentially aid in troubleshooting challenging tumor classification issues and enhance human pathologists’ abilities to arrive at correct diagnoses and better inform treatment decisions.About this studyIn addition to Rawat and Ruderman, other study authors include Itzel Ortega, Preeyam Roy and David Agus of the Ellison Institute; along with Ellison Institute affiliate Fei Sha of USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience; and USC collaborator Darryl Shibata of the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center at Keck School of Medicine.The study’s computing resources were facilitated by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure through Oracle for Research, Oracle’s global program providing free cloud credits and technical support to researchers, and was supported in part by the Breast Cancer Research Foundation grant BCRF-18-002.In addition to his appointment at the Ellison Institute, Ruderman is an assistant professor of research medicine at USC’s Keck School of Medicine.

  • Oracle Announces Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer
    on 08/07/2020 at 07:04

    Press ReleaseOracle Announces Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer Industry’s first fully managed cloud region brings 100% of Oracle’s public cloud services, including Oracle Autonomous Database and Cloud applications, to customer datacentersPricing starts at only $500K per month, a small fraction of what customers would have to pay for a one-off region from other cloud providersCustomers include Nomura Research Institute (NRI) in Japan and Oman Information and Communications Technology GroupRedwood Shores, Calif.—Jul 8, 2020 Driven by strong customer demand, Oracle today announced Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, the industry’s first fully-managed cloud region that brings all of Oracle’s second-generation cloud services, including Autonomous Database and Oracle Cloud applications, to customer datacenters, starting at only $500K a month. Get started here.With this offering, enterprises get the exact same complete set of modern cloud services, APIs, industry-leading SLAs, superior price-performance, and highest levels of security available from Oracle’s public cloud regions in their own datacenters. This is ideal for highly regulated or security-focused businesses needing to meet demanding latency and data residency requirements, reduce operational costs, and modernize legacy applications.Over the past few years, enterprise adoption of public clouds has gone mainstream as companies took advantage of the pay-as-you-go economics, scale, and agility of cloud computing. However, most enterprises expect to continue to run a portion of their workloads in on-premises datacenters for the foreseeable future. This has resulted in strong demand from customers for a hybrid architecture where the same services, same functionality, and easy portability of applications exists between their public and on-premises cloud environments. But until today, no solution was able to bridge the gap between cloud and on-premises environments. On-premises offerings from other cloud providers offer a very small subset of the services available in their public cloud regions. With today’s announcement, Oracle is making all of its cloud services—more than 50 services—available on-premises so enterprises can use Oracle’s cloud services wherever they need them—in the cloud or on-premises via Cloud@Customer.“Enterprise customers have told us that they want the full experience of a public cloud on-premises, including access to all of Oracle’s cloud services, to run their most important workloads,” said Clay Magouyrk, executive vice president of engineering, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “With Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, enterprises get all of our second-generation cloud services, including Autonomous Database, in their datacenters. Our major competitors can’t offer customers a comparable dedicated cloud region running on-premises.”Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer includes full management capabilities and access to new features and functions the moment they become available in Oracle’s public cloud. It provides strong isolation of customer data, including all API operations, which remain local to customer datacenters and provide the highest levels of security. Additionally, Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer is certified to seamlessly run Oracle Cloud applications, including Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications (Cloud ERP, Cloud HCM, Cloud SCM, and Cloud CX, making it a completely integrated cloud experience on-premises. Customers only pay for services they consume using the same predictable low pricing offered in Oracle’s public cloud regions.“With Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, Oracle delivers a slice of its public cloud experience into customer datacenters, with no changes in pricing or capabilities,” said Deepak Mohan, Research Director at IDC. “This represents a new direction for public cloud providers, who have historically offered only limited versions of their services to customer premises. Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer brings the full capabilities of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, including over 50 services, to customer premises. This brings together public cloud service capability with the compliance, latency and co-location benefits of on premises—which can be a game changer for large scale digital transformation efforts at enterprises.”Global Organizations Adopt Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@CustomerNomura Research Institute (NRI), Ltd. is the largest consulting firm and IT solutions provider in Japan. “With Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, we can use Oracle Exadata as a cloud service and achieve greater agility, such as seamless expansion, while maintaining high availability at the same level as on-premises,” said Tomoshiro Takemoto, Senior Corporate Managing Director, NRI. “Built in our own datacenter, it also enables us to not only provide SOC2 reports based on Japanese security standards in financial industries, but it also allows us to access broader cloud services and tools provided by Oracle and further increase our business value for our customers. With Oracle’s Dedicated Region, we can significantly reduce our on-premises costs and invest more in our digital transformation.”Oman Information and Communications Technology Group is an entity owned by State General Reserve Fund (SGRF) of the Government of Oman. “Oman Information and Communications Technology Group (OICTG), is committed to propel and shape the Sultanate’s ICT sector. Our investments, focused initiatives and bespoke partnerships aim to unlock the full potential of ICT. So, by fostering Omani talents, we will actively support the ongoing diversification of Oman’s economic development as outlined in His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik’s Oman 2040 Vision,” said HH Sayyid Kamil Fahad Al-Said; Chairman of Oman ICT Group. “Furthermore, and to meet the Sultanate’s needs of digital transformation, our centralized, innovatively structured digital framework will support the ownership and management of cloud-ready IT services. The OICTG’s sustainable, economically sensitive budget and attainable, realistic time-bound goals will guarantee maximum operational performance, flexible scalability and a secure data residency file under the accountable canopy of the Oman Investment Authority.”“Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer enables a variety of use cases, from migrating Oracle ERP and CRM applications to deploying custom developed applications using Oracle Database, as well as implementing Digital Innovation Services (Blockchain, AI, Big Data) and High-Performance Computing (HPC), all while following the country regulations regarding data sovereignty,” said Said Al-Mandhari, CEO, Oman ICT Group.

  • Piezoceramics shorten root canal treatments
    on 02/11/2023 at 15:52

    When carrying out root canal treatment procedures, dentists need to insert a file deep into the root canal to remove the inflamed tissue. The rotating file often gets jammed and must be cleaned regularly. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS have developed a piezoceramic stack actuator that overlays the rotating motion with a vibrating motion. The file does not get jammed as often, meaning that procedures on patients can be completed faster. This technology is also useful for other medical applications, for example in diagnostics and cancer treatment. Fraunhofer IKTS will present a demonstrator at the joint Fraunhofer booth at the COMPAMED medical engineering trade show in Düsseldorf (Hall 8a, Booth G10).

  • Tailor-made implants for patients thanks to simulations using virtual human modeling
    on 02/11/2023 at 15:52

    Patients requiring artificial hip and knee replacements are increasingly younger. Because they are more physically active than older patients, the risk of requiring a second operation is considerably higher. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA are addressing this problem with a new software platform for virtual clinical in silico studies. With the help of computer-assisted functional tests and inno-vative human modeling, implants and orthoses can be designed specifically for an individual — minimizing later complications. The workflow-based simulation environment for virtual product development and research in orthopedics will be presented at the joint Fraunhofer booth (Hall 3, Booth E74) at MEDICA, taking place in Düsseldorf between November 13 and 16, 2023.

  • Checking for counterfeit medication using a smartphone
    on 02/11/2023 at 15:52

    Particularly when it comes to medication or medical devices sold online, end-users often wonder whether these are real or fake. The SmartID counterfeit-proof barcode system means anyone can use a smartphone to check a product is genuine, provided the manufacturer uses SmartID. It can be authenticated without connecting to a database. SmartID has been developed by a consortium of Fraunhofer institutes. The result of a three-year project, they will exhibit a demonstration version of their SmartID at the joint Fraunhofer booth (Hall 3, Booth E74) at MEDICA 2023 in Düsseldorf from November 13 to 16, 2023.

  • Improving healthcare in rural areas
    on 02/11/2023 at 00:00

    With long waiting lists, significant journey times, an ever-shrinking number of doctor’s practices and the aging population, medical care services in sparsely populated regions are under mounting pressure. As part of its Neighborhood Diagnostics project, the Fraunhofer Center for Digital Diagnostics ZDD® is working to develop a digital ecosystem for delivering patient treatment close to where they live in order to ensure that people in rural areas can access high-quality medical care despite the shortage of doctors. One of the digital ecosystem’s key features are its decentralized health stations, which are tailored to local needs and feature fully automated labs that will ensure medical tests and diagnoses can be provided round the clock. The project will be on display at the joint Fraunhofer booth (Hall 3, Booth E74) at the MEDICA trade show in Düsseldorf from November 13 to 16, 2023.

  • Time to build a network infrastructure platform for the digital era
    by Elaine sherman on 10/11/2023 at 15:44

    Time to build a network infrastructure platform for the digital eraElaine shermanFri, 11/10/2023 - 15:44 Digital infrastructures are being put under increasing strain as enterprises look to disruptive technologies, such as Generative Artificial Intelligence, to propel their businesses forward. A webinar hosted by IDC and Orange Business examines what enterprises need to do to ensure that their digital infrastructure is fit for the future. Digital infrastructures are being put under increasing strain as enterprises look to disruptive technologies, such as Generative Artificial Intelligence, to propel their businesses forward. A webinar hosted by IDC and Orange Business examines what enterprises need to do to ensure that their digital infrastructure is fit for the future.The challenge that enterprises face in deploying disruptive technologies is that they rely on a cloud-based, distributed operating model. This requires guaranteed connectivity and the ability to move quickly, while providing fast access to data. And while this can help companies grow and innovate, it also exposes them to new security threats, and the infrastructure itself is getting more complex.When choice isn’t necessarily a good thingOn one hand, enterprises can, in theory, build an IT and network technology stack to meet their unique needs. Whether developing applications and services or acquiring the appropriate environments and networks, businesses have never had such a choice. Best-in-class vendors are ready and willing to develop solutions to support enterprises in achieving their goals.Of course, this unfettered choice brings with it challenges as well. The solutions, designed to be plug-and-play, rarely integrate with other vendors’ services without significant work and come with rapid upgrade cycles. This means enterprises require teams with the right skills to deploy and operate all the solutions, at odds with the apparent simplicity of the services.And these skills often aren’t readily available: 36% of organizations said a lack of skills was most likely to slow down transformation initiatives.Not all connectivity is equalIn addition, companies should not assume connectivity is consistent globally. To get online in one country could require different costs, provider approaches, and service levels to that of another location.This will particularly affect multinational organizations, with identifying the right local service provider just the first step. There’s also installation, security, troubleshooting and support to be navigated, along with aligning it with wider organizational processes.Third, there is the edge to factor in. Investment in cloud models for consuming IT and other services will only grow, critical as it is to enabling digital-first operations. However, the likes of sensors, SD-WAN boxes, routers, local firewalls, factories, shops or regional offices all need local management and a secure, guaranteed connection between edge and cloud.Where does this leave enterprises? Facing a growing gap between their strategic objectives and what can be achieved with existing infrastructure.That’s not to say companies are complacent about the need to transform. They know that having the right digital backbone is critical; it’s just that for many, that awareness only goes as far as applications and environments; rarely does it encompass the need to overhaul connectivity and evolve network infrastructure. That includes how these services are consumed.Most businesses are well versed in acquiring and using IT via cloud and as-a-service, but networks have been slower to transition to this state. Yet network-as-a-service offerings not only align with how companies acquire technology, but also provide the flexibility, agility and scalability they need.How you can build a network infrastructure for the digital eraWhat does that look like to you? It’s a question many are wrestling with and one we aim to answer with our webinar with IDC.Join Orange Business VP Marketing Connectivity Pierre Marie Binvel and IDC’s guest speaker, Research Vice President Future of Digital Infrastructure Mary Johnston Turner, for an immersive session unveiling how you can tackle the challenges facing your infrastructure deployments and master the future of your business.In particular, they’ll discuss:What’s driving the need for new types of network infrastructure services The challenges disruptive technologies such as Generative Artificial Intelligence present What a network infrastructure platform for the digital era looks like Gain insights and discover how your infrastructure can boost your organization as you grow in this ever-evolving digital landscape.Find out more and listen to the recording.Recommended for youReimagining the network with cloud networking How cloud networking can be an application network highway to the cloud Blogs Josh Turner I am a technology writer with a decade of experience in business, technology and logistics.

  • Delivering business outcomes through broader digital transformation
    by Elaine sherman on 02/11/2023 at 16:30

    Delivering business outcomes through broader digital transformationElaine shermanThu, 11/02/2023 - 16:30 Enterprises are increasingly dependent on digital technologies for agility to adapt to dynamic market forces, but they are becoming increasingly complex to manage. They typically generate and store colossal amounts of data in different data sources, and sometimes sensitive data requires specific compliances. This situation is further exacerbated by a skills shortage. Walk In Take Over (WITO) answers this dilemma via a centralized managed approach. Here we explain what WITO is and how it can deliver continuous transformation and business outcomes. Enterprises are increasingly dependent on digital technologies for agility to adapt to dynamic market forces, but they are becoming increasingly complex to manage. They typically generate and store colossal amounts of data in different data sources, and sometimes sensitive data requires specific compliance. This situation is further exacerbated by a skills shortage. Walk In Take Over (WITO) answers this dilemma via a centralized, managed approach. Here we explain what WITO is and how it can deliver continuous transformation and business outcomes.Digital technology is integrated into every aspect of business today, changing how enterprises operate and bringing new processes and services on board via the cloud and enhanced collaboration tools. An accelerated move to hybrid working due to the pandemic and disrupted supply chains as a result of global conflicts and rising energy costs have further intensified the need for transformation.Enterprises struggle to master changeHowever, technology transformation can be difficult to achieve for multinationals that are fragmented from both organic growth and merger and acquisition. Assets are often managed locally or regionally with no single glass-pane view across the entire IT estate. The IT skills drought has also made overall control difficult to achieve.Change demands the modernization of legacy solutions. But many of these infrastructures are unwieldy, with a vast assortment of technologies and extensive ecosystems. As a result, many enterprises don’t know exactly what assets they have, making transformation onerous and holding back business initiatives.Complexity has made it difficult for enterprises to manage new technologies. Take cloud spend, for example. Managing cloud spend has overtaken security as a top cloud challenge for the first time in a decade.These issues can be solved by standardizing, consolidating and integrating the infrastructure globally to provide a centralized view – simplifying and automating where possible. This increases agility and scalability and lays the foundations for a future-ready transformation infrastructure. At the same time, it reduces costs while streamlining IT management, speeding up deployment and resolving problems more quickly.Why consider WITO?Integration and service management best practices ensure that the ecosystem is properly orchestrated for maximum business benefit. This is where WITO comes in: working with an experienced supplier who can take over your existing infrastructure, manage it more effectively and prepare the groundwork for transformation. WITO helps manage this complexity and provides a single point of accountability for multiple technologies, partners and cloud services across various providers and applications.More and more of our customers, old and new, want a WITO approach because they don’t have the time or the resources to maximize their IT investment and align it with business outcomes. Technological complexity has become a bigger issue due to the ongoing skills drought and difficulties hiring experienced staff. By choosing a robust, experienced partner and adopting WITO, enterprises can also minimize risk and enhance resilience.WITO is built on a one-partner, one-umbrella concept. A single SLA covers the entire infrastructure, significantly reducing complexity and providing greater insight into budgets, end-of-life of products and future roadmaps, previously blurred by local and regional management teams.This approach provides enterprises with global visibility and control. It is especially advantageous to multinationals who are transforming their infrastructures and want to better match technology with business goals but find themselves drowning in complexity.In addition to providing clearer visibility, WITO lowers the cost of ownership and paves the way for continuous technological improvement, providing the scale and elasticity to navigate market uncertainties. Automation procedures are introduced to handle data spread across multiple IT and business applications. Data automation is an important process to easily extract, transform and load data, as required. Automation can also be invaluable in managing large data migrations.Orange Business partnered with a global healthcare company, for example, to transform its IT infrastructure, modernizing it to create a lean, centralized command center to help lower total cost of ownership, while providing an advanced and stable IT platform to host innovations. It is estimated that the total cost of ownership can be reduced by 5% per annum. This results in a more efficient center with more automated services orchestrated to deliver better performance.On another project, Orange Business is helping a global not-for-profit to ensure robust, secure connectivity and the availability of applications in the cloud 24/7, wherever their users are. This has enabled them to better connect with communities and quickly perform services in life-saving scenarios.A consultancy-led approach to WITOHere at Orange Business, we take a consultancy-led approach to WITO. We understand that every enterprise is unique and wants to ensure that its technological ambitions are aligned with business outcomes.Our consultancy team performs initial, deep-dive assessments into your technology estate to create an inventory of existing assets for comparison against requirements. We work closely with each customer to co-innovate and co-construct where necessary to develop a robust roadmap for future transformation. Following a due-diligence and shadowing process, the transition to complete takeover spans approximately 45 days. Highly-sensitive areas in industries such as finance, supply chain and health can be ring-fenced, where appropriate.This approach is designed to provide a set of best practices and solution optimizations to achieve enhanced, measured results from an enterprise’s technology investment. Ultimately, enterprises will see the impact their digital budgets are having and the returns they can expect.Another global not-for-profit needed to guarantee its users a high-performance, high-availability experience but was running into complexity issues with its local connectivity capabilities. Orange Business carried out a WITO, enabling the organization to improve its quality of service and increase productivity with better control over operating costs. It has also enabled them to connect with their suppliers more quickly and to scale up more rapidly.Digital transformation is not a tick box; our customers expect continuous improvement. Orange Business is vendor agnostic, and we bring processes into play utilizing advanced hyperautomation solutions, such as cognitive automation, process/task mining and AI-driven automation and integration platform for operations (AI/Ops), for example. These derive meaningful insights for faster and better decision-making to scale business performance, manage the growing size and complexity of IT environments, preempt outages and improve the overall user experience.IT teams are under more pressure than ever to support and manage expanding global digital infrastructures. Taking on a trusted external partner to WITO means internal resources can focus on activities directly related to growth, allowing the business to transform and stay one step ahead of the competition digitally.Learn more about Orange Business consultancy services.Recommended for youFrom chatbots to low-code programming: welcome to the world of hyperautomation Not if, but when: new research reveals why accelerating digitalization is the essential ingredient in corporate success Automotive Bank & insurance Health Manufacturing Public sector Resources and energy Retail Technology and business services Tourism and personal services Transport Blogs Bibek Padhy Bibek Padhy, Head of International Integration for Orange Business, has 28 years of experience in IT and network services, including business acquisition, service integration and transformation.

  • Recapturing the commercial EV opportunity with batteries and data
    by Elaine sherman on 30/10/2023 at 15:35

    Recapturing the commercial EV opportunity with batteries and dataElaine shermanMon, 10/30/2023 - 15:35 Much of the focus on electric vehicles (EVs) is on cars. Yet commercial EVs represent a significant sector of the market. With businesses and their fleets more likely to buy or lease new vehicles than consumers, OEMs can generate new revenue streams beyond simply selling commercial EVs. Much of the focus on electric vehicles (EVs) is on cars. Yet commercial EVs represent a significant sector of the market. With businesses and their fleets more likely to buy or lease new vehicles than consumers, OEMs can generate new revenue streams beyond simply selling commercial EVs.The market for commercial vehicles is stalling. Light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales dropped 15%. With governments and regulations often targeting the polluting fuels that many commercial vehicles use, accelerating the electrical transition makes sense for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).No wonder the EV part of the market is growing: electric LCV sales worldwide increased by over 90% in 2022 to more than 310,000 vehicles.The opportunity is certainly there: in the UK alone, demand for new battery electric vans shot up 94.6% year-on-year in July 2023.Legacy players struggle to keep upYet, in many instances, traditional OEMs have been slow to take advantage of demand.However, buyers won’t wait for legacy manufacturers to catch up. After all, commercial vehicles are a critical part of their business, and companies will look elsewhere if one supplier doesn’t meet demand.According to one report, brands like Maxus, from Chinese OEM SAIC Motor Corp, have stolen a march on established European rivals. The company had around 6% of Europe’s new ECV market in 2022, selling nearly 5,000 ECVs, more than Ford, Nissan or Fiat, and up 28% versus 2021.The impact of Chinese OEMs should not be underestimated. One of the challenges that EV bus company Proterra faced was competing with the scale of Chinese competitors. While there were many factors in its recent bankruptcy, Proterra’s much smaller capacity meant it would always struggle against Chinese OEMs already serving much larger domestic markets.The commercial EV challengesYet it is not just competitors racing ahead that present a challenge. The old obstacles of inconsistent charging infrastructure and the cost of batteries that impact the overall EV transition also apply to commercial vehicles. Yet, the situation is changing in both areas.First, there’s the charging infrastructure: while there has been a massive boom in charging points globally (up 55% from 2021 to 2022), how much is suitable for commercial EV needs? The amount of time and the cost of charging much larger EVs is also a factor.Second, there’s the cost of batteries. The average battery price has only dropped from more than $160 per kilowatt hour (kWh) in 2019 to $153 per kWh by the end of 2022. The direction has also not been wholly linear as the price of raw materials fluctuates. This has hampered EV production and margins. There is good news, however: one study estimates that by 2025, the price will be below $100 per kWh, falling to less than $80 per kWh. This is likely to have a significant accelerant effect on commercial EV manufacturing.New business models emergeAs these challenges recede, those manufacturers that are ready to meet demand will be the ones that succeed.But meeting demand isn’t just about having the manufacturing capacity. EVs offer new possibilities regarding business models, servicing and other aspects of connected vehicles.When it comes to business models, leasing rather than ownership is already common. But usually, this focuses on the whole vehicle. What if the business hired the battery?There is a reoccurring mismatch between the operational life of the power train and that of the vehicle itself, and this is just as true for EVs as it is for internal combustion engine vehicles. Currently, most commercial EV batteries have an expected life of five to ten years, while the vehicle will last significantly longer if properly maintained.Battery subscription offers benefits for allSome EV-native car OEMs have already started tackling this problem. NIO offers a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) model, where the customer pays a monthly subscription for the battery (on top of whatever financing they have chosen for the whole vehicle). In exchange, NIO fixes and swaps the battery in the case of faults or end of life.Could this be applied to commercial EVs? It would certainly add complexity to any fleet deal, but with the option of offering financing per km/mile, kWh, or monthly, customers could tailor the agreement to suit their usage and needs.From a fleet manager’s perspective, it simplifies certain challenges around the maintenance and servicing of batteries. The provider would handle all procurement, maintenance, replacement and disposal, and it can be structured in an OPEX rather than CAPEX manner. This means that the provider would bear many of the costs, giving them a vested interest in ensuring the battery operates at an optimum level for as long as possible.For the OEM, BaaS offers a predictable, long-term income stream more aligned with the EV’s expected operational life. They may also leverage it to install charging infrastructure at customer sites, creating another potential revenue stream. In addition, controlling disposal could provide access to another source of income in the secondary battery market – for instance, where batteries no longer fit for EV use are installed as part of static charging infrastructure.Maintaining relationships and deeper insightsThe BaaS model also provides a new way of developing an ongoing relationship with commercial fleets that used to be in place through calendar servicing. That traditional relationship is currently under threat as EVs require different types of maintenance. With EVs naturally more connected and closer to software-on-wheels, much of the checks are done through over-the-air updates, but models such as BaaS provide another way of maintaining that connection for OEMs.OEMs providing commercial EVs should also consider how they gather and share data with their customers. The connected nature of EVs means the information on vehicle performance and driver behavior is growing rapidly. These insights could help fleet managers make better decisions when procuring EVs, tailoring offers to employees, deploying work vans, managing drivers, improving total cost of ownership control and, ultimately, helping businesses optimize their assets.An opportunity for OEMs ready to goThe commercial EV market is a massive opportunity for OEMs, but while traditional barriers are falling, they must be ready to strike. Customers want commercial EVs, but if OEMs are not prepared to meet demand, they will look elsewhere. OEMs also need to remember that demand doesn’t just mean having vehicles available; it means being able to build and offer the right services and packages that add real value to the companies looking to transition their fleets.To learn more about the connected car, the energy transition and what it all means for automotive OEMs, take a look at our new connected car information hub.Recommended for youAs the car becomes software, securing and accessing data needs to be OEMs’ priority Orange Business supports Lucid to deliver the experience-driven connected car across Europe Automotive Manufacturing Transport Blogs Patrick Jeanbart Patrick is Head of Connected Car Vertical, Smart Mobility Services at Orange Business.

  • Reinventing the LAN for the future
    by Elaine sherman on 30/10/2023 at 14:00

    Reinventing the LAN for the futureElaine shermanMon, 10/30/2023 - 14:00 The LAN is hugely relevant again. After working from home since the pandemic, millions are returning to the office and looking to plug into LANs that haven’t been upgraded for a long time. The LAN is hugely relevant again. After working from home since the pandemic, millions are returning to the office and looking to plug into LANs that haven’t been upgraded for a long time.Multinational organizations are asking themselves how to connect their users from within traditional office environments and from outside to applications and resources that, thanks to a pandemic-accelerated digital transformation, predominantly sit in the cloud – providing a network that is always on and secure.With global sites and complex infrastructures, LANs must be upgraded for several reasons – management to provide global governance and security policies, clear visibility on who and what is connected to the network, and the assurance that every office can provide users with the same quality experience.An outdated LAN risks data loss, security breaches, and expensive downtime.Legacy office networks can’t handle modern hybrid workingHybrid or full-time office workers no longer accept poor Wi-Fi performance in an era where video-first communications have become the norm. It is paramount that wireless networks can support the growth in video meetings and streaming traffic as users return to their desks.As enterprises re-think the workplace, the LAN must be reimagined to provide agility, flexibility, reduced risk and enhanced user experience. Every organization, however, is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all.IDC forecasts by 2025, 50% of digital organizations will augment "cloud first" with a "wireless first" multi-access network fabric using various technologies for mission-critical and business continuity cases.Networking infrastructure and services are now pivotal to business successCloud services and hybrid working have changed how networks and security are managed. Network infrastructure and services are critical for today’s business – connecting everything from offices and remote users to enterprise applications, services, AI and cloud estates.System convergence, the massive growth in connected devices and the adoption of smart buildings have reinvigorated the LAN – demanding new LAN approaches and infrastructures.According to Gartner, organizations are scaling their enterprise network projects around the expectation that nearly 67% of their workforce will work remotely part time. Wired LAN is still essential for high-bandwidth, real-time applications such as UHD videoconferencing, offering consistent speed, reliability and security for many devices.Wired LAN, however, doesn’t come without its challenges. Notably, cabling to every connected-device location is complex and expensive as organizations look to reshape office space. Also, device connections are limited to available ports on a network switch. This is where Wi-Fi can help.Is your wireless performance dipping?With wireless standards changing on average every three to five years, you need to monitor network performance. If your network is holding your operations and user productivity back, it's time to upgrade.Enterprises struggle with capacity and bandwidth demands as more mobile and IoT devices come online. Wi-Fi 6 improves efficiencies in how access points deal with devices simultaneously. It is no longer simply about speed; it is about capacity. Wi-Fi 6 adds more lanes to the superhighway.The LAN must provide moreThe LAN has developed from connecting network devices, including interrelated network management, analytics and security applications. At the same time, IT teams are being asked to do more with less. AI and automation are essential moving forward, protecting networks from lags, congestion and downtime.Supporting a LAN today requires full-time visibility and automation. New access points, switches and gateways offer detailed telemetry, providing more profound analysis than possible. This is enabled by observability and AIOps, utilizing machine learning (ML) to identify issues on the network proactively, recommend corrective actions and provide the business with service assurance. This allows IT teams to find and correct Wi-Fi coverage gaps. Or optimize energy consumption to meet environmental targets.It also requires an understanding of AI and ML, which are further revolutionizing the cloud-managed LAN. AI and ML algorithms can dive deeply into networks, analyze big data, map patterns and predict network issues, providing scalability, flexibility and enhanced performance.By 2027, 90% of enterprises will use some AI functions to automate Day 2 network operations around maintaining and optimizing the system, compared with fewer than 10% in 2023, according to Gartner.Planning a LAN upgradePlanning a LAN upgrade requires careful consideration regarding budget, future-proofing and business implications. There are other challenges to consider: the logistics of global deployment, skills drought and the microchip shortage, which Gartner maintains is still causing network hardware delivery shortages.Organizations have several options to address the latter, including optimizing existing assets and re-platforming in the cloud. However, having a solid, trusted relationship with the network vendor is still essential to take the best course of action and ensure replacement if a device fails.Having a trusted partner is critical. They should be able to plan the upgrade, project manage, and install globally, ensuring the network meets business objectives, while at the same time, mitigating risk by forecasting procurement requirements and minimizing any downtime.Orange Business and HPE Aruba Networking have the expertise and a global footprint to upgrade your LAN infrastructure to support your business roadmap. HPE Aruba Networking is a leader in wireless and wired LAN, delivering best-of-breed solutions.

The cloud, digitalization and data analytics have emerged as the critical pillars to revolutionize voice. In this article, I delve deep into these pillars and explore how they will reshape the future of enterprise. In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, enterprise voice solutions are undergoing a profound transformation. The cloud, digitalization and data analytics have emerged as the critical pillars to revolutionize voice. In this article, I delve deep into these pillars and explore how they will reshape the future of enterprise.The role of the cloud in revolutionizing enterprise voiceThe cloud has become the backbone of modern communication systems, offering scalability, flexibility and cost efficiency. Traditional on-premises voice solutions often require significant upfront investments in infrastructure and hardware. However, with the cloud, businesses can leverage virtualized voice solutions that eliminate the need for physical infrastructure, reducing costs and simplifying management.Cloud-based voice solutions also offer unparalleled scalability. Businesses can easily add or remove users, adjust capacity and scale their communication systems based on their needs. This flexibility is valuable for organizations with fluctuating call volumes or seasonal demands. Additionally, cloud-based voice solutions can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection, empowering remote workforces and enabling seamless communications across geographically dispersed teams.Furthermore, the cloud enables businesses to leverage advanced features and functionalities that enhance the user experience. Features such as interactive voice response (IVR) systems, call routing and call recording can be easily implemented and customized in the cloud, providing businesses with the tools they need to deliver exceptional customer service.In conclusion, the cloud has revolutionized enterprise voice solutions by offering scalability, flexibility, cost efficiency and advanced features. Businesses that embrace cloud-based voice solutions can optimize their communication systems, reduce costs and easily adapt to changing business needs.How digitalization is transforming enterprise voice solutionsDigitalization has become a driving force behind the transformation of enterprise voice. By embracing digital tools and platforms, businesses can unlock new possibilities and seamlessly integrate voice solutions with other digital systems through APIs, such as a service management platform, like ServiceNow.One of the benefits of digitalization in enterprise voice solutions is integrating voice with other communication channels. Businesses can now unify voice, messaging, videoconferencing and collaboration tools into a single platform, providing employees with a unified communication experience. This integration eliminates the need for separate communication tools and streamlines workflows, increasing productivity and efficiency.Digitalization also enables businesses to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to enhance voice solutions. AI-powered voice assistants can handle routine inquiries, freeing up human agents to focus on more complex tasks. ML algorithms can analyze call data and extract valuable insights, enabling businesses to improve their communication strategies and identify opportunities for optimization.In summary, digitalization transforms enterprise voice solutions by enabling integration with other communication channels, leveraging AI and ML technologies and facilitating the adoption of voice-enabled technologies. Businesses that embrace digitalization can unlock new possibilities, streamline workflows and enhance the overall user experience.The power of analytics in enhancing enterprise voice solutionsAnalytics can enhance enterprise voice by providing valuable insights into customer or end-user behavior, enabling businesses to make informed decisions.One of the critical benefits of analytics in enterprise voice is the ability to analyze call data to gain insights into customer preferences, trends and sentiment. Businesses can identify common customer pain points by analyzing call recordings, improve call scripts and train agents to provide better customer service. Analytics can also help identify cross-selling and upselling opportunities, enabling businesses to maximize revenue.Real-time analytics can also be leveraged to monitor call performance and agent productivity.

Founded by Braunschweig businessman Max Jüdel and mechanical engineer Heinrich Büssing in 1873, the factory was taken over in stages by Siemens in the following decades. Innovations from Braunschweig have consistently shaped the development of railway infrastructure worldwide. Today, Siemens Mobility continues to research and develop technology at its Braunschweig facility that makes rail infrastructure more efficient, sustainable, and reliable.  “Over the past 150 years, our site in Braunschweig has been the think tank for the rail transportation of yesterday, today and tomorrow,” noted Andre Rodenbeck, CEO of Siemens Mobility Rail Infrastructure. “Today, we not only can look back on a long history of pioneering work accomplished here for rail transportation in Germany and the world, but also look to the future. Siemens Mobility has created a unique product portfolio, invested heavily in this site, built up a highly qualified team, and created optimal production conditions. We are ready and eager to play a major role in shaping the mobility of tomorrow with our innovations from Braunschweig,” continued Rodenbeck.Siemens Mobility: An employer with a future in the regionWorldwide, investments are increasingly being made in rail as an environmentally friendly means of transport. In Germany, the federal government has launched a plan for the comprehensive modernization of the country’s rail network with the Digital Rail Germany (DSD) program. The Braunschweig site is well equipped to contribute. Around €60 million has been invested in the site and production facilities over the past five years. Siemens Mobility currently employs around 4,000 highly qualified employees from 46 countries at its Braunschweig plant, including approximately 1,100 in production and assembly, around 900 in research and development, and roughly 1,500 in global project management. In fiscal 2023 alone, 130 new employees were hired, and 54 apprentices began their training. 98 percent of the apprentices here now work for  the company after they completed their training.  Employment prospects for Continental employees from GifhornDuring the day’s celebration, it was announced that Siemens Mobility and Continental had signed a letter of intent. According to initial estimates, up to 100 employees at Continental’s Gifhorn site will have employment prospects at Siemens Mobility in Braunschweig over the next five years if they are qualified. Continental plans to gradually terminate business activities at its Gifhorn plant by the end of 2027. Andre Rodenbeck described Braunschweig’s plans as “a win-win situation for both companies, but above all for people in this region.” For 150 years: Cutting-edge technology for rail infrastructureFor 150 years: Cutting-edge technology for rail infrastructure They are considered pioneers of their day: Max Jüdel and Heinrich Büssing founded the Braunschweig company 150 years ago with the goal of revolutionizing railway technology. In the company’s first 20 years alone, it registered over 90 patents and built more than 1,000 interlockings that controlled over 12,000 switches and signals. The extremely rapid spread of railways in the 19th century was inseparably linked to the ongoing development of signaling technology. From the very beginning, innovations from Braunschweig have shaped railway infrastructure in Germany – and throughout the world. Siemens’ invention of the legendary K 50 signal relay in the 1950s transformed the market just as much as did Europe’s first digital interlocking in 2018 and the shift of interlocking logic to the cloud just four years later.Proven technology: the K 50 relayProven technology: the K 50 relay One of the biggest breakthrough developments following the war was the switch from mechanical interlocking systems often operated with muscle power to electromechanical solutions. Among experts, the K 50 signal relay is legendary: It was the basis for relay interlockings, which marked the first step taken towards automating rail traffic before the computer age. In fact, relay expertise continues to be relevant for Siemens today since 50 percent of the relay interlockings are still in use in Germany’s rail network. K 50 relays are still needed as spare parts for these systems and the Braunschweig site has maintained its manufacturing expertise for relay technology. Outlook: DS3 – Connecting the real and digital worldsGuests at the ceremony were also able to experience a live demonstration of the future of rail transport: A turnout was controlled - via the patented DS3 platform developed by Siemens Mobility – from the cloud at the simple click of a mouse. The interlocking of the future enables centralized, cloud-based control and safety technology for rail operations and is already being used in Austria and Spain. This development marks a major evolutionary advance that offers enormous advantages for operators and modes of transport;since it relies on state-of-the-art, high-performance processors and can be controlled centrally from one rather than many separate interlockings. Moreover, the DS3 is easy to maintain thanks to its use of standard hardware, which reduces operating costs. from left to right: Roland Busch, Thorsten Kornblum, Volker Wissing, Karl Blaim, Andre Rodenbeck from left to right: Karl Blaim, Thorsten Kornblum, Volker Wissing, Roland Busch, Andre Rodenbeck Roland Busch from left to right: Sonja Steffens, Roland BuschFor this press release PDF DownloadFollow us on X @siemens_press Siemens Mobility is a separately managed company of Siemens AG.
