One major change was the advent of cloud platforms, once a ‘nice to have’ but now considered table stakes to support the need for agility while delivering a superior experience to the demanding consumer. More recently, the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and edge computing have helped take efficiencies to another level. Blue Yonder ’s AI/ML-based solutions, built on Microsoft Azure, allow manufacturing firms to identify disruptions faster, while automating decision-making resulting in a more profitable and sustainable supply chain.” Puneet Saxena Corporate Vice President Global Manufacturing Sector, Blue Yonder “Akari has utilised the latest in Microsoft technologies to allow our customers to make informed data-driven decisions around their sustainability objectives. Shortly before last year ’s COP 26 summit, David Attenborough highlighted that ‘saving our planet is now a communications challenge’. This means that visualising data and sharing it with colleagues is no longer enough; we must act on the results. Our solution are designed to be accessible for all, so every individual can contribute to their organisation’s performance whilst maximising their Microsoft investment.” Natalie Bell Business Development Director, Akari Solutions
