As technology continues to reshape our business landscape, organisations are constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency and productivity. Technologies like Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Synthetic Monitoring are becoming a business imperative. But what are these solutions, what do you need to consider and how can they benefit your business?

Different Organisations, Different Needs

RPA refers to software designed to automate routine tasks such as data entry, invoice processing, and customer service responses, which traditionally require human input. On the other hand, Synthetic Monitoring involves using scripts to simulate the path a user might take through a website or application to check its performance and availability.

While these might sound like solutions designed for large enterprises, the reality is that businesses of all sizes can benefit from RPA and Synthetic Monitoring. A local retail store can use RPA to manage inventory, and a small e-commerce business can utilise synthetic monitoring to ensure a seamless user experience on its website.

Planning an Implementation

Implementing RPA and Synthetic Monitoring requires careful planning. Start by identifying repetitive tasks within your business that could be automated using RPA. For Synthetic Monitoring, determine the critical workflows that have a direct impact on the user experience.

Work closely with a solution provider like AmdoSoft, who can guide you through the process, ensuring the solutions are tailored to your unique business needs.

How to Plan for Scale and Expansion

RPA and Synthetic Monitoring are not static solutions. They can be scaled and expanded as your business grows. To prepare for this, ensure the solutions are flexible and can adapt to changes in business processes. Furthermore, consider potential future needs of your organisation and how these technologies might support those needs.

The Value

The benefits of implementing RPA and Synthetic Monitoring are substantial. RPA can increase efficiency, reduce errors, and free up staff to focus on more strategic tasks. Synthetic Monitoring helps improve website or app performance, leading to better user experience and ultimately, customer satisfaction.

Together, these technologies can lead to a significant return on investment, boosting your bottom line while improving the overall operational efficiency of your business.

Conclusion

In the digital age, it’s important for businesses of all sizes to leverage innovative solutions like RPA and Synthetic Monitoring. AmdoSoft is leading the charge, offering these solutions that can revolutionise business operations and drive efficiency. By investing in these technologies, organisations can stay competitive, meet their customers’ needs, and secure their future success.

        Automated Contract Review: Accelerate Value Creation Company-wide

        Automated Contract Review: Accelerate Value Creation Company-wide

        This is an article written by Moritz Maier at thingsTHINKING.

        Bryony sandy Channel Partnerships

        By Bryony Sandy

        8th March 2023

        Contracts are a company’s lifeblood. Delays in contract signings have a direct impact on revenue. The bottleneck of productivity: legal departments. Volatile market conditions, complex business relationships and legal frameworks increase their workload. One solution to up efficiency and reduce costs is legal tech and automated contract review.

        We provide an overview of which software can effectively support which contract management processes, how users can ensure high quality in contract review tools, and how legal departments can improve their future readiness.

        Golden 20s? Challenges in Contract Management

        On average, companies lose more than 9% in sales due to slow contract management processes . This is the conclusion of a study by the World Commerce and Contracting association. The economic impact of slow contract processes varies, depending on industry and company size . But anyone who works in  legal will be able to confirm: Contract management is time-consuming as it involves a lot of manual effort.

        According to an EY study, the workload will increase by an average of 25% in the coming years without any increase in staffing. That’s why investments in technology will skyrocket and demand is already increasing. While 70% of companies have developed a technology strategy for their contract management, 99% lack the data and technological foundation to implement effective change.

        Legal Tech is a buzzword that’s never missing from any discussion about more efficient processes in legal departments.

        Legal Tech refers to all digital applications specifically designed to speed up legal activities, improve the effectiveness of legal support, and make it easier for people to access legal services.

        The spectrum of legal tech is wide, ranging from simple rule-based applications such as document management systems for law firms to legal tech AI, i.e. tools that automate work processes using artificial intelligence.

        In contract management, legal tech can be used in all phases of the contract lifecycle, from contract review to document archiving.

        The 5 Phases of the Contract Life Cycle

        Which lifecycle phases a contract goes through varies depending on the type of contract. Individual phases can be skipped and the order of the phases might change. In principle, however, five phases can be identified in contract management, with numerous opportunities for digital support.

        1. Initiation

        In this phase, companies decide that a contract needs to be concluded, for example because a product is being sold or a business partnership is being entered into.

        By using document automation applications, lawyers can access standardized contract templates that speed up drafting. Other digital solutions offer add-ins for text editors so users can search legal databases directly from the contract document.

        2. Negotiation

        In this phase, the terms of the contract are negotiated, including price, deliverables and liability. Employees review contract drafts and templates.

        Cloud-based software solutions can simplify the process by allowing the various parties to leave change requests and comments on paragraphs directly in the document.

        3. Conclusion

        The contract is signed and both parties exchange the necessary documents and records.

        Digital signature applications eliminate the need for on-site appointments and reduce waiting time which is unavoidable when sending documents by mail. Thanks to encryption and certification, digital signatures are often even more secure than handwritten signatures on paper (reversal of the burden of proof).

        4. Implementation & Monitoring

        The terms of the contract come into force and the services are provided. Companies monitor implementation and compliance with the contract. If necessary, they agree on changes and adjustments to the contract.

        Document Management Systems (DMS) serve as a central repository for contracts and simplify management, for example, through tagging and notification of deadlines. Contract analysis tools make it possible to extract data from contracts and identify opportunities for business development via comprehensive evaluations.

        5. Termination

        The contract is terminated or reaches the end of its term. Contract documents are archived in accordance with applicable law.

        Legally compliant archiving is a function of DMS. Documents are removed from the operational system to optimize processing power and are stored securely and searchably in cost-efficient archive systems.

        While digital solutions have long been available for managing and archiving legal documents, researching sources and creating contract templates, the actual review of contracts has hardly been accelerated. The comparison of old and new contracts, the compliance check with internal regulations, requires the expertise of lawyers. Automated contract review promises to open the bottleneck of productivity.

        Benefits of automated contract review

        • Massive acceleration of contract review
        • Fewer errors due to lack of focus
        • Consistent review quality
        • Review by departmental staff possible

        The market for automated contract review is growing. To assess the quality of the applications, it is necessary to understand the different ways in which the tools work. This is because the performance of classic automated contract review differs significantly from the capabilities of AI-based tools.

        How does classic automated contract review work?

        Without going into the workings of individual tools, classic automated contract review works according to the following principle:

        The contract is entered into the system, either as a text document or a scan of a paper document.

        The system works on the basis of defined rules or algorithms and thus searches the contract for specific clauses or language patterns.

        The system then performs pre-defined actions, including marking matches or mismatches or generating a report. If a free-text search is offered, the software only finds content if there is a 100% word match.

        Since the classic automated contract check is based on fixed rules/algorithms, it is prone to errors. As soon as contract sections are worded differently than defined, discrepancies or matches are not detected. The support provided by such tools can prepare the review by a lawyer in simple contract cases, but in many cases it increases the risk of errors.

        How well does contract review AI?

        Unlike classic contract review tools, AI-based applications work with self-learning algorithms.

        Users provide feedback to the software where it has misrecognized text passages. Over time, the contract review AI gets better and better in its results. The drawback: training takes a lot of time and is expensive. Pre-trained artificial intelligence works in a similar way. If companies already have a large number of contracts in the way they will be audited in the future, the AI can be pre-trained. This reduces the training effort for companies, but it’s costly and in most cases there is not a large enough dataset to perform reliable training. In addition, this type of AI is prone to errors, as new wording or contract components that were not included in the training are not recognized.

        The alternative is artificial intelligence that understands texts on the meaning level. These semantic algorithms do not need to be trained. They read documents similarly to humans and can recognize discrepancies and matches even in text sections that are worded completely differently.

        An example of a contract review AI of this category is semantha®. The application offers high review accuracy because it understands texts at the level of meaning. Thus, it’s possible to compare different phrasings without training. At the same time, it minimizes the risk of errors by consistently following a human-in-the-loop approach: Legal professionals and artificial intelligence work hand in hand and  combine the strengths of humans and machines.

        The future of (automated) contract review

        Legal tech is about to fundamentally transform the way legal departments work. Investment in contract management tools will increase significantly in the coming years. Out of sheer necessity.

        While automation is already commonplace in other areas of business, the automation of legal processes is only starting to take off. With the rapid progress in artificial intelligence, it is now more and more possible to outsource demanding tasks to AI, tasks that previously required human judgment.

        Among lawyers, this evolution is viewed quite critically. And understandably so. However, the concern about becoming replaceable and losing jobs to AI is holding back the digital transformation of legal departments.

        Instead of viewing AI as competition, lawyers should see the smart tools for what they are: Tools whose value depends on how they are used. It’s true, the technology will change how lawyers work, but it’s also true that these tools will increasingly become a necessity for achieving competitive efficiency.

          Understanding the world of cameras

          Understanding the world of cameras

          Bryony sandy Channel Partnerships

          By Bryony Sandy
          24th November 2022

          Introduction

          Are you looking for a way to keep your organisation safe and secure, monitor certain spaces or moderate, monitor and comply with any policies and guidelines within your industry, but you’re not sure where to start? but you’re not sure where to start? There are a number of camera solutions that could suit your needs.

          But which video technology solutions are available and how can they benefit your business? First, let’s look at the different types of cameras.

          IP/PTZ/Fisheye

          IP camera’s, or Internet Protocol camera’s, are commonly used for surveillance but unlike CCTV cameras, they require no local recording device, only a local area network. These cameras receive control data and send image data via an IP network.

          A PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera is built with mechanical parts that allows them to swivel from left to right, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out of a scene. PTZ cameras are a great option for providing wide coverage, covering blind spots or large areas with a single camera.

          Fisheye cameras offer a panoramic view with a wider angle offering up to a 360-degree field of vision. They are typically used to cover larger geographic areas and expansive locations.

          Available Options

          IP PTZ cameras from Bolide Technology can quickly move between user-defined presets, tours, and positions. Using premium components provides extended life span and millions of rotations. They are auto-tracking, meaning they follow moving persons and objects as they enter and exit the camera’s view. Contact us to learn more about the options available or take a look for yourself.

          Where do you want your video footage stored?

          The first video recorder to note is a digital video recorder (DVR). These are electronic devices that records video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card, SSD or other local or networked mass storage device.

          DVRs connect to security cameras with an analog video cable and provide a more budget price for multiple cameras, however, multiple cables are required. Another thing to note is that the analog signals power decreases with distance so if you were looking to capture video at a large distance, this can lead to poor video quality due to a weaker signal. Although some DVRs offer audio connections, they don’t always have enough audio ports for every camera.

          Another option is a network video recorder (NVR) which records video footage and stores it on a hard disk, a mass storage device, or cloud storage. They are paired with digital IP cameras to create a video surveillance system.

          An NVR receives pre-processed video files from IP cameras over ethernet cables or wireless connection. Comparing to a DVR, NVRs only need one cable to send power and signal. They also use newer technology such as AI motion detection and audio so may be a better option for your business if audio and a better signal are required.

          Mobile Video Solutions

          Depending on your needs, a mobile video solution may be a great option as they can easily be moved from location to location. There are a range of mobile video solutions available on the market including Mobile Dashcams, Mobile DVRs and Mobile Cameras.

          As well as remote monitoring of mobile assets, Mobile Dashcams are very useful for vehicle surveillance. Do you have a fleet of vehicles? Mobile Dashcams can help with any potential accident insurance claims, reduce insurance premiums and can be used to record driver behaviour. Keeping your staff safe is important and Bolide Technology can also provide driver behaviour alert systems which helps drivers stay alert and focused, reducing vehicle accidents. Distractions and signs of fatigue are detected and the driver’s attention to the road is monitored with visual and audible alerts in real time.

          Conclusion

          Each camera solution has its own benefits and drawbacks. It is also important to consider what resolution and data you will need to be best suited to your needs. We work with Bolide Technology, a worldwide manufacturer and ISO 9001:2008 certified distributor of CCTV surveillance products and accessories based in Southern California, to provide all your camera needs. Still not sure which camera solutions are best suited for your requirements? Contact us today to learn more.

                    Komprise delivers a unique cloud data management service that allows users to analyse quickly and access stored data and object data across clouds without shackling that data to any vendor. The Komprise Intelligent Data Management platform helps users take control of vast amounts of growing unstructured data while cutting on average 70% of enterprise storage, backup, and cloud costs.

                    Pfizer is one of the world’s premier biopharmaceutical companies responsible for creating life-saving vaccines, including the Covid-19 vaccine. Pfizer had 5 petabytes of unstructured data in scope for its cold data strategy, 64 per cent of which hadn’t been accessed for more than two years.

                    With no end in sight to their rapidly growing data demands, the company needed a plan for moving their cold data to the proper storage solution. Komprise helped Pfizer quickly determine what data was truly cold – and then easily tier those files to Amazon Web Services (AWS), drastically cutting costs while creating a global tagged data lake to drive research and innovation.

                    Importantly, for a company that relies heavily on data for research and testing, the initiative resulted in zero changes in how users and applications access the moved files.

                    “Amazon S3 provides a great foundation – the water in the data lake – that can help customers build on other services such as analytics, which integrate seamlessly with Amazon S3 and, with Komprise, can help customers unlock the value of that cold data.”

                    Pfizer’s existing on-premises storage environment is a global heterogeneous NAS environment. Pfizer’s team needed constant visibility, a strategy for applying business rules for analytics, and better insight into their data storage and hosting.

                    “With data growing exponentially, we wanted to look at a better way of using analytics, to have data on a highly available platform still, but to make investments where it makes sense,” explained Matthew Braunstein, Director of Hosting Data Services at Pfizer. “And where it doesn’t make sense to have a highly available platform, push it to a more cost-effective platform.”

                    Komprise gave Pfizer a way to analyse all its data quickly and transparently tier cold files to AWS, cutting costs while building a global tagged data lake to drive business innovation.

                    “What sets Komprise apart compared with other solutions is the end-to-end process of analysing and moving data,” said Caitlyn Possehl, Global Strategic Alliance Leader at Komprise. “You can use Komprise to scan all your data, analyse costs and create business rules and then Komprise will act automatically against those rules.”

                    With a focus on research data on NAS, Pfizer found large amounts of data eligible for tiering. Komprise analytics helped Pfizer decide which data should be tiered to AWS by understanding what data was on NAS, who was using it, how much was cold, and what kind of data it was.

                    Komprise Intelligent Data Management deployed in Pfizer’s on-premises NAS datacentre and archived data to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Pfizer’s cost savings in the first 90 days alone were enough to cover the total cost of the Komprise solution.

                    Komprise helped Pfizer stop 20 years of increasing storage costs in its tracks. Komprise used analytics across multi-vendor storage environments to manage Pfizer’s data management and data movement to AWS. In the last year alone, Pfizer has migrated two petabytes of cold data to Amazon S3. They could tier unstructured cold data to the cloud without affecting or changing how users access it, which was crucial in the research and testing process.

                    The Komprise dashboard and management tools allow visibility, with a colour-coded data status and age, so the different stages of the data are identifiable.

                    “Many times, I come in and feel like it’s Christmas morning because we had planned 100TB to go out the door, and it’s 115TB because Komprise did their next scan and pulled some data I wasn’t counting on that aged out.”

                    Pfizer now uses Komprise Deep Analytics to build different searches and queries on their data so they can create data lakes in AWS for further use in the cloud, leveraging insights from big data and AI, genuinely unlocking the data’s potential.

                    “It’s exciting that our researchers want to accelerate data movement using Komprise because they can analyse the data on AWS,” says Braunstein.

                    The Pfizer solution also deployed the patented Transparent Move Technology (TMT) from Komprise, which helps users migrate, tier and replicate data across multi-vendor storage and clouds – while enabling native use of the data at each layer. Data movement in this way is possible without disrupting users and without vendor lock-in.

                    Komprise is the only vendor that provides transparent tiering from the source storage array while including native access to the cold data on the target – without getting in front of the live data.

                    Files moved by Komprise TMT appear exactly as they did before, without users noticing any difference other than a link icon. They open like normal files on the desktop and don’t employ stubs or agents.

                    Key benefits of the Komprise solution include:

                    Clear access to moved files from the source storage device without obstruction.

                    • TMT moves files by policy to secondary storage of your choice, such as the cloud. The solution leaves an industry-standard dynamic link that represents the source data.
                    • Users and applications can still access and open the moved files from their original location by using these dynamic links without seeing any alterations.

                    File-object duality is preserved.

                    • The Komprise solutions allow moved files to remain natively accessible as cloud objects.
                    • When Komprise TMT moves a file to object storage such as Amazon S3, it writes the entire file as an object, unlike storage-based tiering. This means that users can directly access their moved data and extract more value from their static data.

                    Zero obstruction of hot data.

                    • Komprise TMT moves data using standard protocol constructs, so it is not in the hot data path, unlike storage tiering, global file storage gateways and data virtualisation solutions.
                    • Komprise is called when cold files are accessed, which happens rarely. This improves primary storage performance and allows you to run data analytics versus your file storage in the cloud.

                    No use of Stubs, Agents, or Proprietary Interfaces.

                    • Komprise Dynamic Links contain all the file system information a user or application requires in a simple, scalable format.
                    • No stubs or agents that are brittle and problematic to manage. No central database. Learn more about the fault-tolerance and load balancing of the Komprise Elastic Grid.

                    Minimise rehydration and egress fees.

                    • Komprise TMT moves data at the file level with the file metadata fully preserved at the target, so the transferred data is accessed as files from both the source and the target.
                    • With Komprise, you can use files in the cloud for file-based applications without bringing data back to the original NAS. This has the added benefit that your big data analytics projects don’t tax your primary NAS.

                    It helps to establish a layered defence against ransomware.

                    • Komprise customers can use immutable cloud storage via AWS S3 Object Lock to provide another layer of defence against ransomware.
                    • Komprise enables organisations to protect file data from ransomware at 80% lower cost through a combination of transparent cloud tiering and replication of all data to an object-locked location with file-level isolation.

                    Overall, Pfizer saved over 75 per cent on storage and cloud migration costs by accessing the powerful analytics Komprise offers. Cost savings came from removing manual data management and having Komprise intelligently and automatically move cold data from high-priced, on-premises storage to more cost-effective storage on Amazon S3.

                    If it needs to, Pfizer can directly access the data in AWS as Amazon S3 objects natively without paying fees to Komprise or paying egress fees, further reducing cost concerns.

                    The business impact of data management with Komprise speaks for itself. Pfizer gained efficiencies across the organisation, and unlocked value from data moved to AWS, allowing them to reinvest those discovered resources into their central mission, driving better patient outcomes.
