  • Chris Andrews, head of risk solutions at Aviva, has confirmed that ‘escape of water’ claims “continue to be our highest frequency claim with steadily increasing costs.” However, Andrews added that fire brings with it the highest severity and claims cost. In fact, fire and ‘escape of water’ costs are not dissimilar. For this reason, Andrews…

  • David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks, explains that server migrations are often necessary whenever there are old systems and or old storage arrays. With higher capacity disk drives that have lower power requirements these can force a migration wherever there is a need to lower power consumption. Equipment failures also occur when products reach…

  • Most traditional forms of dealing with network and data latency, as well as packet loss, fall short of their promise. This includes WAN optimisation. SD-WANs are great, but their performance can also be improved by adding a WAN data acceleration layer. With the growth of the Internet of Things, therefore, organisations are looking for new…

  • “This increasing risk comes at a high price. Cybercrime has a direct GDP cost of at least $275 billion per year currently, according to researchers, RAND. All these challenges are causing headaches for CEOs, CTOs, CRMOs, and insurers, above all. It’s understandably become one of the most important risks to evaluate for insurance buyers, in…

  • Weather updates are going to be crucial to allow autonomous vehicles to adjust to changing road conditions in the same way that a human driver should adjust their speed during heavy rainfall or snowfall.

  • “It’s very important to measure the customer success of live chat to identify any pain points that may exist, and to improve the customer service they provide”, advises Gemma Baker before commenting: “Without regularly analysing the performance of live chat, the channel could only be running at half potential and never be fully optimised.” With…

  • David Trossell’s advice is as follows: “Santa is asking the same questions that many other companies are asking – how it will improve my infrastructure and reduce costs but still stay relevant? Many are looking to use the hybrid cloud as part of an infrastructure solution. This will maximise the existing infrastructure whilst allowing to…

  • WAN data acceleration is the approach that sets itself aside from the traditional approaches and technologies of WAN optimization and SD-WAN. It takes a totally different approach to mitigating the latency and packet loss issues. The indomitable fact is that the speed of light is just not fast enough, and that is what governs latency…

  • …Gemma Baker adds that, in compliance with data protection regulations such as the European Union’s GDPR, all of the live chat conversations are backed up to the cloud for a specific period of time. However, she adds: “Some organisations will transfer these chats into their own systems.”, which is advisable because organisations shouldn’t overly rely…

  • A spokesperson for Renovo gazes into the future: “We will soon live in a world where the touch of a button will summon a driverless highly automated vehicle (HAV) that will take us on safe, convenient urban journeys at extremely low cost. This automated mobility as a service (AMaaS) or robo-taxi paradigm is the most…
