BidSwitch Adopts The Trade Desk’s Unified ID Solution

Integration allows for ID to be passed on to other DSPs

BidSwitch, a provider of intelligent infrastructure for the global programmatic ecosystem, has adopted The Trade Desk’s unified ID solution. This integration aims to improve user match rates across the digital advertising ecosystem.

As part of the integration, supply-side platforms (SSPs) that use BidSwitch can pass on the ID to all of the demand-side platforms (DSPs) who also use BidSwitch. BidSwitch’s unified ID integration enables SSPs using BidSwitch to improve cookie coverage without the need for a direct integration with The Trade Desk.

Adoption of the free unified ID solution allows all parties across the supply chain (SSPs, DSPs, DMPs and data providers) to utilize The Trade Desk’s cookie footprint to increase their own cookie coverage across the global independent internet. In addition, the unified ID solution allows for stronger match rates across all parties involved.

“BidSwitch has always been committed to supporting identity solutions as the industry evolves,” said Barry Adams, BidSwitch GM. “The Trade Desk’s unified ID represents a solution with significant traction and proven results in increasing match rates between partners. We’re excited to join the group of partners supporting the ID.”

“BidSwitch is helping to push forward the idea of identity and improved advertising outcomes,” said Tim Sims, SVP of Inventory Partnerships, The Trade Desk. “By enabling our unified ID solution to be passed on to even more partners within the supply chain, BidSwitch is vastly adding to the reach and distribution across the industry. Our goal with the unified ID solution is improve match rates, solve for latency and make the bidstream more efficient across the cookie universe.”

Alteryx Acquires Feature Labs to Advance Machine Learning For The Enterprise

Putting Powerful Data Analysis and Modeling Capabilities into the Hands of Data Workers Across the Globe

Alteryx, Inc., revolutionizing business through data science and analytics, announced that it has acquired Feature Labs, a data science software company launched out of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that automates feature engineering for machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

The acquisition of Feature Labs will further enable Alteryx to help organizations empower every data worker to fill the data science and machine learning talent gap. Alteryx puts insights from advanced analytics and machine learning—once only available to statisticians and quants—into the hands of more data workers across the enterprise. “Gartner predicts that, by 2020, more than 40% of data science tasks will be automated, resulting in increased productivity and broader use by citizen data scientists.”

“Feature Labs’ vision to help both data scientists and business analysts easily gain insight and understand the factors driving their business matches the Alteryx DNA. Together, we are helping customers address the skills gap by putting more powerful advanced analytic capabilities directly into the hands of those responsible for making faster decisions and accelerating results. We are excited to welcome the Feature Labs team and to add an engineering hub in Boston,” said Dean Stoecker, co-founder and CEO of Alteryx.

Feature Labs’ feature engineering capabilities, combined with the ease of use of the Alteryx Platform, creates an environment that further accelerates time-to-insight and time-to-value for analysts and data scientists alike. As part of their research at MIT’s Computer Science and AI Lab, Feature Labs co-founders, Max Kanter and Kalyan Veeramachaneni, developed an innovative set of algorithms to optimize the manual, time-consuming and error-prone process required to build machine learning models. In addition to automating the model fitting and hyper-parameter tuning process, Feature Labs’ differentiated platform automates the feature engineering and data prep process, resulting in significant increases in model accuracy and overall process efficiency.

“Alteryx maintains its leadership in the market by continuing to evolve its best-in-class, code-free and code-friendly platform to anticipate and meet the demands of the 54 million data workers worldwide². With the addition of our unique capabilities, we expect to empower more businesses to build machine learning algorithms faster and operationalize data science,” said Max Kanter, co-founder and CEO of Feature Labs. “Feature engineering is often a time-consuming and manual process and we help companies automate this process and deploy impactful machine learning models.” Kanter has also held engineering roles at Twitter, The New York Times, Fitbit and Hewlett Packard.

Automation Anywhere Launches AI-Powered RPA-as-a-Service Platform To Accelerate Global RPA Adoption

Automation Anywhere, a global leader in Robotic Process Automation (RPA), announced that it has launched the world’s first purely web-based, cloud-native Digital Workforce platform, Automation Anywhere Enterprise A2019.

Enterprise A2019 is now available both on-premise and in any public, private or hybrid cloud, delivering RPA-as-a-Service seamlessly to any user and any business through any delivery channel anywhere in the world. The game-changing platform, now available in more than 14 languages, dramatically reduces cost and infrastructure barriers to RPA adoption.

The company’s flagship platform – inspired by the ways in which humans work – now includes more than 175 new features across 40 different product capabilities to simplify business automation. It also incorporates feedback from more than 3,000 customers worldwide and thousands of hours of research and development to bring automation one step closer to recognizing the $100 billion market opportunity industry analysts have predicted.

“As technologies evolve, they reach an inflection point and to go further you must make important meaningful departures from what everyone else is doing,” said Mihir Shukla, CEO and Co-founder, Automation Anywhere. “Enterprise A2019 is that dramatic departure, with a refreshing, instant-on user experience that eliminates the friction many companies still experience in building, deploying and scaling bots. Beginning today, users can log on to the platform from any web browser, dramatically increasing the speed of deploying RPA while decreasing the time in which companies derive compelling business value.”

The new Enterprise A2019 platform offers enterprises of all sizes unprecedented capabilities. These include:

Instant-on ease of use: The highly intuitive, web-based interface simplifies bot development, helping organizations automate more business processes than ever before. Using a web browser, users of all types and skill levels can log in and build their first bots in minutes. There’s nothing to install, configure or maintain. The RPA platform enables users to effortlessly create software bots on any operating system – Windows, macOS, or Linux – and on any device.
Cloud-native for unprecedented scale: Enterprise A2019 is a cloud-native platform that offers customers both RPA-as-a-Service from the cloud, as well as an on-premise deployment with enterprise-class data privacy, security and encryption in each. The software-as-a-service model allows users to gain the inherent benefits of RPA, but with reduced cost of ownership, near-infinite scalability and dramatically decreased time to value. Customers can choose to deploy on-premise or provision it from the cloud.
Infused with Artificial intelligence (AI): Users now have the ability to leverage built-in AI capabilities and easily integrate third-party AI solutions, such as computer vision, natural language processing and predictive modeling – all with the simplicity of drag-and-drop AI into any automation workflow.
New Attended Automation 2.0: Users now have access to new automation technology that provides greater bot and human collaboration across teams and workflows. This makes automation of front office processes much easier, faster and more cost efficient.

“Many enterprises today are recognizing the benefits of automation and are currently in the midst of understanding the best strategies for optimal implementation,” said Sarah Burnett, Executive Vice President and Distinguished Analyst, Everest Group. “With features such as a function-specific user experience, availability on multiple clouds, RPA-as-a-Service, and built-in AI capabilities, this new release from Automation Anywhere could simplify automation and reduce its cost of ownership. These types of developments will increase the market for automation, bringing it within the reach of more enterprises with different budgets and tech skills.”

“Automation Anywhere Enterprise A2019 has a new web interface that is streamlined for a variety of users, enabling a collaborative work environment, while enhancing efficiency and productivity,” said Marshall Couch, Intelligent Automation Consultant, Eastman. “Downloading and managing bots used to be cumbersome, but with the new cloud-based platform, bots are available on-demand for improved scalability as well as simplified user access and functionality.”

Enterprises Want Providers to Manage Entire Workloads

ISG Provider Lens Report Finds Companies Looking for Cloud-Based Managed Services Providers That Combine Artificial Intelligence, Analytics and Iot Expertise

Enterprises are looking for technology vendors that can manage their entire IT workloads in hybrid cloud environments to support their increasingly agile and globally distributed operations, according to a new report published by Information Services Group, a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2019 ISG Provider Lens Private/Hybrid Cloud – Data Center Services & Solutions Archetype report also finds enterprises embracing cloud-based services that offer integrated and cognitive technology, including artificial intelligence-based services.

Many enterprises are looking to use AI and analytics services to ensure that customer needs remain a central focus and customer satisfaction remains high, the report says.

“Managed services are continuously innovated with cutting-edge technologies in an as-a-service model,” said Jan Erik Aase, director and global leader of ISG Provider Lens Research. “Enterprises want providers to manage their IT workloads by combining artificial intelligence with real-time analytics and smart monitoring.”

In addition to AI and analytics, enterprises are increasing their use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and are looking for mature managed services providers to manage their IoT systems and offer IoT-centric security, the report says. Emerging technology like blockchain and big data also will create big opportunities for infrastructure-focused managed services providers, the report adds.

Enterprise budgets for hybrid cloud computing, meanwhile, have doubled in recent years, the report says. However, cloud technology is not always easy to implement and manage, and many enterprises have realized they need outside expertise to gain the benefits of cloud computing, the report adds.

The 2019 ISG Provider Lens™ Private/Hybrid Cloud – Data Center Services & Solutions Archetype report examines four different types of clients, or archetypes, that are looking for cloud-based data center and managed services providers. The report evaluates the capabilities of 30 providers to deliver services to the four archetypes:

Traditional archetype: These clients have limited outsourcing experience and work with service providers through selective outsourcing. They only outsource a small fraction of their data center operations, through staff augmentation, project-based work or partial outsourcing of ongoing infrastructure management. Cost optimization is their primary focus.

Managed services archetype (mid-sized focus): These clients have previously signed small outsourcing contracts, with a focus on cost optimization, and are now willing to transfer greater operational responsibility to an outsourcing service provider. Their budgets are constrained, however, and the focus is on tactical service-level agreements. These companies are willing to embrace some transformation elements, such as modest investments in automation and cloud.

Transformation archetype (large-scale focus): These companies are third-generation outsourcers with a preference for an optimized mix of onshore, nearshore and offshore delivery models. They are not severely constrained by budgets and can undertake large transformation initiatives. They view service providers as strategic partners, and they seek to provide IT services to their business units using an as-a-service, utility-based model.

Pioneering archetype: These clients seek to extend their transformation initiatives with investments in software-defined networking and storage to realize, in some cases, an end-to-end software-defined data center. They seek service providers with the knowledge and experience in software-defined enabling tools, including hyper-converged storage systems. These clients have already achieved a significant level of cloud adoption and now focus on further optimizing hybrid cloud management, including next-generation practices such as workload portability.

Among the providers ISG evaluated, Cognizant, DXC Technology, HCL, IBM, Microland, NTT, TCS, Unisys and Wipro were named leaders across two archetypes. Accenture, Atos, Capgemini, Ensono, Fujitsu, GAVS, HTC (Ciber), LTI, Mindtree, NTT DATA, Orange Business Services, Sungard AS, Tech Mahindra, UST Global and Zensar were named leaders in one archetype.

Video Conferencing Equipment Supplier, IVCi, Explains What Av as a Service Is and Why Your Company Needs It

With a transforming economy, the AV industry has begun to transform as well. More often we’re seeing AV companies turn away from more traditional installations towards service-based offerings. AV as a Service is a rapidly growing business model used in the AV industry in response to new customer demands and evolving technology. Video conferencing equipment supplier, IVCi, explains what AV as a Service is and why your company needs it. Read their discussion below to learn more.

What is AV as a Service?
AV as a Service, or AVaaS, is a business concept redefining the AV industry. Instead of customers paying installation and service charges afterwards, AVaaS provides continuous AV support to client installations, managing the entirety of the AV system from installation to maintenance. AVaaS is a subscription style pay model, with customers signing contracts or entering into monthly subscriptions with AV service providers who provide equipment, troubleshooting, and regular maintenance, among other options like data analytics and optimization. There are a variety of benefits that come with the AVaaS model as well.

AV as a Service Benefits:

Scalable: The AVaaS model makes AV services highly scalable across a customer base. With one successful and effective AV installation can come a host of other installations in the same building or company, connected by common cloud technology and overall management systems. This scalability allows AV companies to continuously meet the ever-changing demands of their customers, even as new technologies come and go.
Streamlined Communication & Operations: One of the biggest benefits of the AVaaS system is the increased efficiency of communication and operations. Streamlining AV operations with an AV service provider allows updates to occur more frequently, as well as regular equipment checkups and upgrades as technology advances. With only the customer and the AV provider, communication between the involved parties is easy and responsive, enhancing overall communications regarding the AV set-up.
Allows for a greater client relationship development: If a customer sets up an AVaaS system, they become connected with one single AV provider that handles all of their training, operations, and maintenance. This allows for a closer and more connected relationship between the AV provider and its customers. The relationship development benefits everybody, as the AV operator can better assess a business’s nature and provide the best solutions for their unique needs, enhancing the overall customer service experience.

AV as a Service is the future of the AV industry because of its various benefits that help not only the AV company, but their customers as well. See how incorporating AVaaS can impact your AV business’s revenue stream today.

Additional information regarding the transaction will be included in a Form 8-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as an exclusive advisor to RingCentral. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is serving as an exclusive legal counsel to RingCentral.
