The report provides worldwide vehicle sales forecasts, as well as regional analyses. Some of the key trends and data from the report are shared in this article.
As we inch closer to the post-quantum era, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. It won’t be long before cybercriminals have access to quantum computers, enabling them to launch far more sophisticated and devastating attacks than what legacy systems can do. ABI Research’s Quantum-Safe Technologies Research Service serves an essential role in keeping sensitive data resistant to quantum-based cyberattacks. It provides essential insights and guidance to cybersecurity solution providers and key stakeholders, including telecommunications companies, Network Equipment Providers (NEPs), semiconductor manufacturers, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and government entities.
The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2024 marked another milestone in innovation, with exhibitors showcasing advancements across robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data integration, cloud computing, and more. The usual big names were there to show the world what they’ve been up to, but they were accompanied by smaller startups hoping to make a big splash. The technological breakthroughs on display in Chicago this year embody the innovative spirit the manufacturing industry requires to address an aging workforce, increased demand, and supply chain complexities.
Working in a competitive industry demands that you become a data-driven organization. As a technology solution provider, effectively leveraging data can unlock significant advantages, such as driving market expansion and fostering innovation. Unfortunately, all too many companies lack an analytical approach to decision-making.
Enterprise data fabric is gaining significant attention in today’s digitally-driven world as enterprises require a holistic approach to data storage and integration. As enterprises introduce more technologies to their operations, their data generation will continue to increase. This makes collating, storing, and contextualizing data more challenging. An enterprise data fabric unifies data across departments and business units, enabling users to draw connections that would otherwise go unnoticed.
