Using IoT data to drive customer satisfaction

October 20, 2020October 19, 2020
by Herman Taljaard

When the term Internet of Things (IoT) first gained popularity a decade ago, many futurists looked forward excitedly to the commercial and industrial applications of these always-on, always-connected data sources.

Today, smart homes and internet-enabled personal devices are ubiquitous and commercially successful, but B2B applications haven’t seen the same success. Vast pools of underutilized IoT data are left to grow stale in organizational silos.

It’s little wonder, when one considers the numbers:

Nearly 80 zettabytes?

That’s 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. “We’re building IoT systems that take data from all these devices, and this data is classified as alerts,” or active signals, says Dave Wright, ServiceNow’s chief innovation officer. “The challenge then becomes: What do you do with all of these alerts?”

There’s untapped value hidden within these massive data volumes, Wright believes—particularly when IoT data is integrated with a customer service management platform (CSM) using smart workflows. Device data can be analyzed to prioritize service calls, for example, add value to a customer contract, even predict and prevent costly equipment failures.

“With the number of connected assets set to increase dramatically,” — an estimated 41.6 billion devices by 2025, according to research — “it’s important that we start to analyze and understand the business context of any given device,” Wright says. “In the world of connected assets, no one has really focused on this before.”

How Iot is a major driver of Industry 4.0

October 12, 2020October 15, 2020
by Herman Taljaard

As we rapidly approach the end of 2020, we are starting to see the impact of the 4th industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0) on organisations and their operating models. The Industrial Internet of Things is a major driver of Industry 4.0 and research studies show interesting results:

We are approaching 50 billion connected devices by the end of 2020.
The global spend on IoT is expected to grow 15% year on year, reaching US$1.1 trillion by 2025.
The falling cost of the average IoT sensor and data transfer, as well as the pervasive availability of 4G (and now 5G) networks being rolled out, are driving the adoption of IoT driven solutions.
IoT is a key component of digital transformation and driving new operating models and revenue opportunities.
IoT solutions and projects are no longer just driven by the technology and by the IT department-specific business outcomes and solutions are driving the adoption of IoT and connected operations. The connected devices and sensors are generating a significant amount of data and alerts; however, this raw data is only useful if it is turned into actionable information.

New developments in sensor hardware and communications technology now provide customers with access to low-cost sensors

New developments in sensor hardware and communications technology now provide customers with access to low-cost sensors using ubiquitous communications technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi and RFID tags. Furthermore, advances in video processing technology and algorithms provide customers with the ability to leverage video feeds from CCTV and security cameras as part of a connected operations solution.

An example use case of using a video feed is related to occupational health and safety and screening people accessing your business under COVID-19 guidelines. Cameras can analyse the body temperature of individuals or even groups of people and detect anyone with an elevated body temperature. This can raise an alert in real-time to allow for a secondary temperature screening of the individual prior to allowing them access to your location. The same camera technology can also be used to determine the density of people in a specific space and flag areas where social distancing rules are being breached. This can also be used to alert the cleaning staff once a table in a food court environment has been occupied to trigger a cleaning task.

Enable wins the Employer of Choice for 2020

October 8, 2020October 8, 2020
by Nicole Bailey

Enable Professional Services has been recognised as an Employer of Choice in The Australian Business Awards 2020. Now in their fifteenth year, The Australian Business Awards (ABA) are an annual all-encompassing awards program which recognises organisations that demonstrate the core values of business innovation, product innovation, technological achievement and employee engagement via a set of comprehensive award categories. The Australian Business Award for Employer of Choice (EOC) recognises organisations that develop workplaces that maximise the full potential of their workforce through established policies and practices which demonstrate effective employee recruitment, engagement and retention.

Rachel Sparkes, Head of People and Culture says the award provides recognition of the organisations ability to turn the idea of a ‘people-first culture’ into a successful reality.

Every decision we make is tied to our vision and our people-first culture. Our people are our business. Just like user-centred design in software development we consult and consider the employee experience when designing all people programs, polices and platforms at Enable.

We also created a north star, ‘The Enable Way’ to be our guiding principles on ‘how we do things around here’. They are the commitments the company has to our Enablers, how we agree to behave with each other and customers, as well as how we all contribute to creating the atmosphere at work.

The Enable Way is part of our everyday vernacular with the vision, mission, and values playing lead roles in on-boarding, internal communications, career development, performance appraisals, leadership development and town halls. Something that has been crucial for our disparate technical workforce across 5 countries and even more important as we moved our entire workforce online within days and continued to deliver 100% virtual ‘people programs’ during COVID-19.

“ Winning this award is a testament to putting people at the heart of everything we do at Enable.”

Entrant organisations are required to demonstrate their achievements across the key areas of Organisational Culture; Leadership & Strategy; Employee Education, Training & Development; Employee Health, Safety & Satisfaction; Performance Management; Recognition & Remuneration.

“Fifty-four organisations have been selected in this year’s ABA Employer of Choice Awards. These organisations have demonstrated adaptability in the workplace by utilising flexible and new ways of working and learning,” said Ms Tara Johnston, Program Director.

“The landscape of the workplace environment has changed rapidly as technology has gained momentum, coinciding with businesses navigating a broad range of interrelated issues from the impact of the current challenges facing the global economy. The ability to work from anywhere, combined with the advances in connectivity tools makes us geographically neutral.

“Leading organisations have begun to implement an entirely new working environment that breaks down communication barriers, positioning organisations to harness the talent within their organisation, transform the employee experience and position businesses to be more resilient,” Ms Johnston added.

Organisational participation includes private companies, public companies, multi-national subsidiaries, non-government organisations, educational institutions, government departments, government agencies, local government and statutory bodies operating in Australia.

Under the Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) offering, this business continuity product ensures identification of recovery time against the appropriate disaster recovery plans configured in the system.

Hardware Asset Management:
Uplifting the CMDB multiple discovery data sources capability, it is a great leap complimenting and synthesizing the hardware/software inventory lifecycle. Ensuring that leadership has better visibility on asset utilization in the SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.
Legal Service Delivery:
We could not agree more that Legal work is so detail and eye to content. A platform enrichment to increase productivity at the business pace and elimination of manual work is more than welcome. The legal serf-serve portal provides 24×7 access to the information. Bring spreadsheet and paper-based solution, if required tailor-made to an organization needs, onto the one platform. Legal reporting and dashboards on the same platform ensure better decision making.
Telecommunications Service Management:
Reduction in the incoming calls is every help desk agent wishes, and this product envisions the reduction which in return ensures customer loyalty. Right time when online work and call pressure has increased.
Telecommunications Network Performance Management:

HRSD campaign builder:
Keeping non-technical HR teams in mind, this cool feature with drag and drop user interface enables them to create campaigns from NOW platform.

NOW intelligence for HR Service delivery:
Again, in alignment with the current COVID situation where a spike in HR CASE is increasing strain on the HR teams this Machine Learning to route the CASE appropriately is a boon.

Vulnerability & Assignment Recommendation:
As the name suggests, it helps to identify the most appropriate teams for each vulnerability. No surprise, again Machine Learning is the core of this capability.

Field Service Contractor Management:
Empowering businesses to manage work assigned to third-parties to enhance the overall collaboration between field service organizations and their contractors.

At a pinnacle of excitement, it will be an injustice if we do not mention the ServiceNow acquiring Sweagle, a CMDB pioneer.

On June 22, 2020, when we read this news, we could foresee a revolution coming to the CMDB processes and/or methodologies especially to ITOM / DevOps offerings.

Let’s have a quick overview of what does that means under the NOW hood.

Service Graph Connector Program:
As ServiceNow CMDB is the fortitude to the one architecture framework within an organization. The announcement of this program is a step closer to the better management of the Customer’s digital Lifecycle. Leveraging this program many third-party tools that businesses rely on today on its delivery can directly integrate with ServiceNow to increase data quality and reliability.

ServiceNow Service Graph Connectors:
There are pre-built connectors that facilitate the integration between 3rd party tool and ServiceNow Service Graph. Leverage the new reconciliation engine which is ServiceNow Common Service Data Model (CSDM) compliant. Thus, gone are the days of point-to-point hard code development and maintenance of integrations.

Before we wrap up, keeping the heartbeat developers in mind, a quick overview of what we will not see any longer in ServiceNow.

The Role of IRM in Ensuring Complete Compliance

September 2, 2020October 15, 2020
by Myhendri Govender

The Role of Automated and Integrated Risk Management Systems in Ensuring Complete Compliance

Across Australia and the world, regulatory compliance and risk management are front of mind for business owners, directors, executives and governance, risk and compliance professionals alike. As the pace of regulatory change increases, businesses can struggle to keep up with their obligations. Similarly, with many businesses operating manual and siloed risk management frameworks, they often fail to identify risks in enough time to mitigate them.

Integrated risk management platforms offer a data-driven solution to these problems by automating key risk and compliance functions to reduce the need for human intervention and drastically increase efficiency in the process.

Throughout June and July 2020, LexisNexis®, Enable Professional Services and ServiceNow held a series of online sessions with Australian governance, compliance and risk professionals to delve into the realities of regulatory burden for modern businesses and discover how technology can help to manage these issues.

The following discussion paper summarises the issues and learnings from these sessions.
