Apptio reinforces commitment to Asia with strategic hire

SINGAPORE, Jun 24, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Apptio, the leading provider of technology business management (TBM) applications, has appointed Tarun Kumar Kalra as Regional Vice President – Asia. Tasked with strengthening and establishing new strategic engagements in the region to help organizations make informed, data-driven technology business decisions, Tarun will focus on creating incremental value for Apptio's customers and partners and expanding the company's presence across Asia.

Tarun Kumar Kalra

"Tarun joins us at a time of exceptional possibility in Asia and we are leaning on his experience and leadership to grow Apptio's presence across the region. CIOs are being asked to do more with less, and to be accountable for their spending. Apptio equips them with the data and insights to better manage their IT investments and align them to business outcomes, through the implementation of the Technology Business Management (TBM) and FinOps disciplines," Ben Allard, Apptio Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific remarked. "Tarun will be instrumental in leading the execution of Apptio's vision and the adoption of TBM, FinOps and agile disciplines in the region,"

Kalra observes that, "Asian economies continue to witness consumption-driven growth, fueled by governmental and private enterprises driven capital expenditure (CapEx) expansion cycles. Organizations that are 'born in the cloud' are altering customer engagement models and technology consumption patterns. For that reason, cloud computing is the cornerstone of technology innovation, ensuring organizational resilience."

He adds, "Clients are seeking frictionless engagement models to give them the ability to scale new products and services to support their market expansion strategies. That requires nimble and agile technology organizations."

Kalra expects growth in the technology sector to continue with further advances being made in digital banking, healthtech, insurtech, and ecommerce. He says "Such organizations, along with large enterprises and government departments are grappling with ballooning technology costs while struggling with a limited view on a single pane and single source of truth on their returns on technology investments. Apptio is uniquely positioned with a proven solution to help these organizations derive deeper financial accountability and effectively allocate resources to areas of greater ROI and innovation."

Retention Cloud Leader CleverTap Unveils TesseractDB

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, Jun 8, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – CleverTap, the world's No. 1 retention cloud, today announced it has unveiled TesseractDB(TM), the world's first purpose-built database designed to dramatically improve user engagement and retention for digital consumer brands. TesseractDB(TM) brings true technology innovation to growth marketing leaders looking to deliver in-context, timely, personalized messaging and recommendations across all user touchpoints.

TesseractDB(TM) transforms massive amounts of first-party user data in a privacy-friendly, accessible, and affordable way to power real-time user personalization. Leveraging machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), it offers limitless scale and enables digital brands and businesses to harness data and context for every interaction. User engagement and retention start from Day One when a user launches an app for the first time.

Research estimates that nearly 85% of all messaging is considered spam, an average of about 122 billion messages globally. About 36% of spam content is generated from ill-timed, non-personalized marketing messages. This problem continues to be prevalent due to the limited data technologies that are patently unable to store the massive volumes of first-party data required to offer a truly personal customer experience.

"Today, we are excited to unveil TesseractDB(TM), the data technology that powers the CleverTap platform. It will allow global growth marketing teams to achieve true omni-channel customer engagement," said Sunil Thomas, CleverTap Co-founder and Executive Chairman. "In the last 40 years, MarTech vendors have cobbled together generic off-the-shelf data technologies in an effort to solve issues for end-user messaging. These technologies have been limiting, and as a result, brands simply cannot fully unlock their own user data for real and meaningful relationship building. To transition away from the spam and transactional communication that is so prevalent in MarTech today, we must make user data available, affordable, and easily accessible. This is why we invented TesseractDB(TM)."

TesseractDB(TM) is a giant technological leap that removes all data related limitations typically associated with the MarTech industry. Using TesseractDB(TM), digital brands can offer each user a magical onboarding experience and continue to deliver delightful experiences throughout their journey.

TesseractDB(TM) enables CleverTap to offer unmatched technology, features, and capabilities –

– Unlimited data look back periods without any limitations
– High speed, scale, and unmatched throughput
– Rich, granular first-party user data storage
– Built-in real-time machine learning and AI
– Hyper-personalized engagement and recommendations

"Until now, data look back and access limitations, created by overages and cost, prevented brands from unlocking the full potential of first-party user data for engagement. This is a deep tech and science problem. With TesseractDB(TM), CleverTap provides the industry's most versatile segmentation and data processing engine for mobile engagement," says Momchil Kyurkchiev, Chief Strategy Officer, CleverTap. He adds, "TesseractDB(TM) is designed to provide MarTech professionals a cost-effective and efficient way to capture unlimited data streams and deliver actionable insights and analytics to drive personalization and engagement."

Machine learning speeds up search for new sustainable materials

TSUKUBA, Japan, May 25, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Researchers from Konica Minolta and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan have developed a machine learning method to identify sustainable alternatives for composite materials. Their findings were published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods.

Researchers are looking for sustainable options, such as recyclable materials or biomass, to substitute the constituent materials in composites which are used in various applications including electrical and information technologies.

Composite materials are compounds made of two or more constituent materials. Due to the complex nature of the interactions between the different components, their performance can greatly exceed that of single materials. Composite materials, such as fibre-reinforced plastics, are very important for a wide range of industries and applications, including electrical and information technologies.

In recent years, there has been increasing demand for more environmentally sustainable materials that help reduce industrial waste and plastic use. One way to achieve this is to substitute the constituent materials in composites with recyclable materials or biomass. However, this can reduce performance compared to the original material, not only due to the features of the individual constituent materials, such as their physicochemical properties, but also due to the interactions between the constituents.

"Finding a new composite material that achieves the same performance as the original using human experience and intuition alone takes a very long time because you have to evaluate countless materials while also taking into account the interactions between them," explains Michihiro Okuyama, assistant manager at Konica Minolta, Inc.

Machine learning offers a potential solution to this problem. Scientists have proposed several machine learning methods to conduct rapid searches among a large number of materials, based on the relationship between the materials' features and performance. However, in many cases the properties of the constituent materials are unknown, making these types of predictive searches difficult.

To overcome this limitation, the researchers developed a new type of machine learning method for finding alternative materials. A key advantage of the new method is that it can quantitatively evaluate the interactions among the component materials to reveal how much they contribute to the overall performance of the composite. The method then searches for replacement constituents with similar performance to the original material.

The researchers tested their method by searching for alternative constituent materials for a composite consisting of three materials – resin, a filler and an additive. They experimentally evaluated the performance of the substitute materials identified by machine learning and found that they were similar to the original material, proving that the model works.

"In developing alternatives, that make up composite materials, our new machine learning method removes the need to test large numbers of candidates by trial and error, saving both time and money." says Okuyama.

The method could be used to quickly and efficiently identify sustainable substitutes for composite materials, reducing plastic use and encouraging the use of biomass or renewable materials.
