Bank the Un-Banked

Strange as it may sound that there are many people in the Middle-East and North Africa region who are un-banked. According to the global fintech , 1.7 billion adults world wide are unbanked, which means they do not participate in any any primary financial product or service. According to banking services it is a critical parameter and a crucial enabler in reducing extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. If the banking system has failed the under privilege, at least so far technology has come to the rescue. Financial technology, more popularly referred to these as fintech, has been bringing significant value to the unbanked. and underbanked. Their solutions mostly transcend regional limitations, enable trust, and enhance efficiency. So for an agriculture worker, a wallet apps service would facilitate wage management.

An un-banked population can leave adverse fallouts in society. Besides not having easy access to financial institutions. No access to these essential services compels them to use cash and other equivalent to carry out their daily essentials. The lack of financial inclusions has a tangible impact on economic growth. Technology may not have all the answers, but it can do wonders if it develops a gender-intelligent approach over and above traditional neutral products.

Seamless Data Integrator

Data Integration has been the key priority among many companies during transformation or scaling of their business activity and because of that integration or integrating Data between systems was a must without which there wasn’t a legacy being continued. Moving Data from one system to the other or migration of their legacy systems to the new system was always a challenge when it comes to communicating between two different platforms or different tech brands. At times when data was transported from one system to the other, Data was sometimes received in excel files or text files and because of which, Data could be manipulated, mismanaged or even lost when moving from one system to the other.

This is where a role of a Data Integrator comes into play where information or Data need not be kept in flat files whereas the Data Integrator can help to establish a seamless connection between your legacy and the new system to help you with Data Integration or Data Transformation jobs. Pentaho is one of the best leads in Data Transformation or Data Integration where those activities are automated with less human intervention. It comes with built in adapters to help you establish connection between multiple systems whether it may be Oracle, Microsoft, Postgres, Mongo…etc. It also doesn’t matter if Data might be present on-premise or cloud, no matter where your Data sits, Pentaho will be a seamless Data Integration to help you transform your Data at a speed never imagined.

Every Data Transformation or Data Integration job must have a workflow maintained to keep a track of the data movement happening during this process.

Cyber Physical Systems – Changing the World

A cyber-physical system (CPS) is an interconnected group of physical systems controlled by computer software. They allow for the utilization of embedded, real-time computing in physical processes and create new opportunities in manufacturing, engineering, transportation & more. Examples include smart homes, automated manufacturing, and self-driving cars.

Cyber-physical systems have the potential to help people live healthier, safer, and more fulfilling lives. Your system needs to be built on understanding how humans interact with them, how they will evolve, and the cyber-security implications.

Cyber-physical architecture is a new design approach for buildings and other structures that integrates the physical world with the digital one.

When setting up a cyber-physical system, you must optimize the following five components: computation, communication, connection, context, and contact. These components of the cyber-physical architecture are interconnected as they all interact in one system.

Computation: This component deals with the physical objects in the world. It has been designed to work with computers through digital data to process and make sense of the information it receives from the world.

Communication: Your focus is on making connections between people and computers. It represents the physical devices that transmit data and connect people through wires, antennas, and satellites.

Connection: This component deals with the physical connections between the computer system and the world. These connections allow users to use the information provided by computers in a way that is relevant to them.

Context: This component deals with defining location in terms of space, time, and other variables. It comprises physical objects, such as building infrastructure and devices that surround a computer system and share information with it.

Contact: This component deals with the physical connection between humans and computers. This is usually provided through touch screens, telephones, and keyboards.

Data Analytics Golden Rules

It may not be rocket science to interpret Data with your analytics, as everyone have their own way of understanding or reading Data and it all depends on how well have you understood the information provided. There can be many conclusions to a piece of Data, as there are many tools available today to read these information for you and provide you insights about what Data means. But the key idea behind understanding your Data is not just to interpret the information rather provide meaningful information which makes sense. This clarity to information and understanding the depth of productivity or impacts must be the strategy towards understanding your Data.

The 3 golden rules to keep in mind while understanding Data or developing Data Analysis must be based on these principles :

Make it Simple above everything and let your data not make too much noise rather provide meaningful clarity.
Don’t crowd your insights with lots of graphical representations and make it look like a crowded Data market place rather create a narrative story.
Always understand what are you trying to communicate with Data or what type of Data and finally to whom.

Following the above 3 Golden rules, must make your Data more impactful and meaningful and guide you or drive your business towards better decision making.
