These messages all aim at selling the Cisco products that stack to create and/or streamline an organization’s AI infrastructure. They are broken apart to sell what I think are compelling arguments for adoption. For example, the full functionality of AI is something you need to stay competitive in your industry (e.g., Thousand Eyes, Flashstack, etc.), which means you need safe infrastructure that can be built quickly (e.g,. Splunk Flexpod); however, this also needs to be built sustainably. Cisco/ConRes gives you all three.

Based on the Cisco AI Readiness Index, more than 60% of companies acknowledge they have a year or less to roll out their AI strategy to avoid substantial negative business consequences from lagging behind.

95% of companies say the urgency to deploy AI-powered technologies has increased within the past
six months. And this same 95% simultaneously recognizes that AI will raise strain on infrastructure.
On-prem infrastructure offers a flexible and secure environment for deploying AI workloads, though
many organizations face perceived barriers to implementation. Get the solutions you need to
maximize your on-prem infrastructure without compromising past investments or future results.

Cloud solutions are not the only viable option for AI deployments. On-prem AI offers alternatives that shouldn’t be overlooked. Here, we address some of the most common questions to help you make informed decisions about your AI strategy.

For manufacturers looking to spearhead our sustainable energy future, electrolyzers represent an attractive — albeit elusive — solution to the need for efficient green energy production. Attractive because electrolyzers have been deemed by experts as a promising technology toward achieving “carbon peak and neutrality” goals.

The success of your live event fundamentally depends on the strength and reliability of your WiFi network. Read more for strategies on how to improve your live event connectivity.

Access to real-time inventory data allows you to make decisions based on the most up-to-date information (such as those provided in A2’s monthly market update).

Community safety is an inherently collaborative process that requires the collective effort of multiple groups, including governments, emergency services, and the public, to work together. Effective communication is crucial for successful interactions between these groups. Without it, collaboration is lost.

But switching from a gas line to an electric outlet requires some important considerations to keep in mind. Read on to learn the steps to switching from a gas to electric stove.

If you knew there was a health solution that displayed its clinical value in randomized controlled trials and was economically viable through reimbursement codes, wouldn’t you adopt it? And if your stakeholders could dramatically improve the management of chronic illness, ease clinician burden, and lower costs, is there a barrier to adoption that could stop you from implementation? Proven digital health solutions have demonstrated they have the power to transform the healthcare industry.

With all the talk surrounding Facilities Management 2.0, it's important to get key insight and tips on implementation. That's why our Vice President of Channel Development, @Justin Lavoie, was interviewed about giving systems integrators a seat at the design table:

In the last two years, we’ve seen how unexpected challenges can push even the most prepared health systems to the brink. When COVID-19 hit, our healthcare professionals were tasked with providing care to millions of patients who were unable to leave their homes. This was a massive challenge, but we rose to the occasion. And in doing so, we realized the importance of a strong, unified care delivery system.

There isn’t a hotter word in the cybersecurity industry than exposure management, and like all buzzwords, it can be difficult to separate the hype from the impact. That’s why at this year’s Fal.con, we’re bringing together Reveald’s CEO Brett Kelsey and cybersecurity expert Christian Nicholson to host a partner power session on exposure management.

Whether it’s HVAC/air duct cleaning, mold remediation, or fire and water damage restoration, we can positively impact your interior environment to benefit everyone in your home or business.

Over the last five years, private equity firms have invested in more than 200 residential and commercial services businesses. These investments represent a near doubling of the previous five years and signal broader investment potential for a market that has, for decades, flown under the radar.

As the utilization of artificial intelligence becomes increasingly prevalent, it is no surprise that AI plays an enormous role in both cyberattacks as well as cybersecurity. However, exactly how AI works in cybersecurity is rarely discussed: what are the benefits of artificial intelligence integration, and how does this combat the threat of bad actors?

What does increased mobility mean for officers and their ability to respond to incidents? In this episode, Waylon Kenning, OnCall mobile product manager, discusses the growth of mobility field solutions for public safety as well as the future of connectivity, including increasingly linked devices, the Internet of Things, and what this all means for public safety.

The recent enforcement of the TikTok ban (prior to its temporary reversal by President Trump) has left many wondering about the risks posed by the popular social media app. Sure, TikTok is owned by a Chinese company, but how dangerous is this really to national security and our data privacy? The answer is more complicated than you might think with bipartisan support for a TikTok ban driving its removal from U.S. app stores.

By January 2021, records management systems (RMS) used by agencies must switch to a new reporting methodology called the National Incident-Based Reporting System. In this podcast, Ben Van Horne, U.S. Director of RMS Technology and Implementations, and Gina Steadman, Product Manager, from Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure, will outline what agencies should consider when implementing a records management system, including how to stay NIBRS-compliant.

ConRes Test Equipment, a division of ConRes, Inc., believed their existing agency-run paid search advertising campaign was neither cost-efficient nor effective in promoting their high-margin offerings.

For a piece of technology that is so integral to our lives, the process of nanoengineering and manufacturing
semiconductor chips can be a bit precarious. Not only do we need semiconductor performance to be both
powerful and reliable to continue utilizing devices like our phones and laptops, but they must be especially
small to meet this demand. However, there are challenges to achieving high levels of semiconductor
performance that lack easy solutions.

Lorain, Ohio — Yesterday, former-U.S. President Barack Obama formally endorsed candidate Sharon Sweda in her race for Ohio’s 13th State Senate District. In his public statement regarding his list of endorsed candidates, Obama had this to say: “Today, I’m proud to endorse even more Democratic candidates who aren’t just running against something, but for something—to expand opportunity for all of us and to restore dignity, honor, and compassion to public service.

Hello. It’s good to see everybody—thank you all for coming. My name is John Russell. For the last five years, I’ve been running my business as a farmer over in Galena. Some of you have seen me around town, others of you have bought produced from me. But even more of you know me from the story we’ve shared together.

When I graduated from Wright State, I didn’t go straight into law school like many of my peers. Instead, I spent a year working with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. It was my way of preparing myself to practice law. You see, the Jesuits were founded on the belief that we are all called to serve. And I knew that, if I truly wanted to be able to represent other people, I first needed to understand what that really meant.

I want to start by thanking you all for being here. My name is Bill Campbell; I’m the Senior Vice President for the Americas, and today I have the pleasure of welcoming you to the 2019 HxGN Live Leadership Summit. Over the next two days, we’re going to be talking about a few key issues in the Safety & Infrastructure division: the challenges facing public safety agencies, advancements in technology, implementing agency change and more.
