#whataday Today we launched the new business organization Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings, internally called SI Buildings. (For more details read blow the ambition’s well described by our ceo Susanne seitz. ) I’m proud to take on two new roles, one leading the Danish part of the organization and second as Nordics head of portfolio sales enablement. In both roles I look forward working together with the colleagues in DK and the rest of the new Nordic organization. A big thanks to Andreas Finnstedt for the opportunity, look forward to the collaboration and steering of this great adventure. Not only did we make history with the creating of SI Buildings, now Siemens Denmark have the first female CEO in Andrea Waenerlund, which I look very much forward working together with. I know that she will do great and enable Siemens as a leading company in Denmark. The ambition: Smart Infrastructure Buildings, a Siemens business created to drive the digital transformation towards smarter and more sustainable buildings.   We’ve brought together all of Siemens’ buildings-related businesses into one entity. With a portfolio of products, software and services, we support our customers to run their buildings more reliably and cost-effectively, successfully hit their decarbonization and sustainability targets, and drive better business outcomes.   I believe strongly in our ability to accelerate the digital transformation by combining the real and digital worlds, harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence, IT/OT convergence and digital services for a future with smart, self-adaptive and autonomous buildings.   There has never been a more important time to transform our built environment, and together with the team at Siemens and our expanding ecosystem of partners, I’m looking forward to growing this dynamic business.  #WeTransformBuildings

Integrating Solutions and Their Business Impact Application integration has evolved, transitioning from architectures where all systems communicate with each other, known as spaghetti architecture, to what we have today: the establishment of integration buses, data normalization, and data modeling for integration, as well as the establishment of integration patterns. In today’s technological world, including the cloud, even more technologies and tools have been enabled, which in turn has led to the development of better integration practices. Specific integration protocols have emerged, such as: — SOAP — HTTP-based REST API — HTTP-based GraphQL Suppose you stop to think about the evolution of this text from the first paragraph to these letters. In that case, you can appreciate that the fundamental change is a paradigm shift, moving from disorder and lack of standardization (spaghetti) towards organized standardization. The reason: order saves time, and standardization prevents confusion.  𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲: https://lnkd.in/eMHfzEpx

WHAT IT TAKES TO MASTER THE TWIN TRANSITION: TRANSITION TO AI AND TRANSITION TO NET ZERO. NZIH would like to thank Dr. Henrik Madsen, Professor, DTU - Technical University of Denmark and Dr. Jon Summers Scientific Lead, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden for their constructive feedback, which greatly improved the quality of this paper.   This article tackles topics and questions that dominate nearly every publication of and around the data center industry. It decomposes the growth of energy demand and GHG emissions of data centers applying the Kaya Identity approach. Here below is a short summary, the paper can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/eDYJkqrW 🌍 Will the world run out of power because of AI? No. On a global level, despite its explosive growth, AI power demand is an order of magnitude smaller compared with the power required for electrification of other industrial sectors. … 🌎 Will infrastructure efficiency "fix" the energy demand like in the past decade? No. This component of efficiency alone will not be sufficient this time. AI represents a different category of digital applications. … 🌏 The twin transition requires the deployment at scale of all available zero-carbon power generation technologies, specifically of controllable power sources and storage in addition to solar and wind: geothermal, clean fuels, carbon capture, nuclear. ... 🌍 The Twin Transition to AI and to Net Zero can be achieved if the scale and pace of innovation matches the scale and pace of the industry growth. This requires a new collaborative innovation model for the industry, which we are building at the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers.

"An ongoing research project at Tampere University aims to create adaptable safety systems for highly automated off-road mobile machinery to meet industry needs. Research has revealed critical gaps in compliance with legislation related to public safety when using mobile working machines controlled by artificial intelligence. As the adoption of highly automated off-road machinery increases, so does the need for robust safety measures. Conventional safety processes often fail to consider the health and safety risks posed by systems controlled by artificial intelligence (AI)." #ai #machinehumancollaboration

Day 0 of #MSIgnite completed! Ignite day started with Badge, backpack and waterbottle pickup at Mcormick Place where all of Ignite will be happeninig. After the pickup me and Mikael Roos bid farewell to our collegues from itm8 Sverige and went of to our respective preday sessions. For me it was "AI red teaming in practice" where Amanda Minnich (AIRT) walked us through an intruduction to Generative AI & Attacking GenAI applications for the first hour. After that is was time to get hands on with Labs on how to manipulate AI into giving us someting that it wanted to keep protected from us. For me this was an eyopener in how easy (in some cases) it was to get the AI to giving up answers that it was supposed to keep a secret from us. In some cases it needed manipulation and some you needed to get creative to spin a story of hw the world had ended and nothing needed to be protected anymore. 2 hours of lab blew by like it was just a few minutes it suddenly it was time to wrap up the preday. Training AI is important but training AI to be responsible is even more important. Will the AI's in the future bring Skynet and Terminators or will it bring us Wall-E? This is all dependent on how we act from now on while training AI engines in a responsible and secure way. As always "Trust no one, suspect everyone and question everything"

🔥Customer go-live🔥 We are pleased to announce that a new customer, Ardoq, went live with Younium last week. Ardoq is a cloud-native SaaS company that provides a data-driven platform for Enterprise Architecture and business transformation. 👉🏻 We first met Ardoq at a SaaS event in 2022, where we discussed their approach to managing B2B customer subscriptions and billing. At that time, they were using a different subscription management solution that wasn't purpose-built for an advanced business model. It lacked support for various pricing structures and robust metrics features. However, after deeper conversations, we recognized a strong alignment between our organizations and a common view of how to manage and scale a B2B SaaS business, and earlier this year, we agreed on how to move forward together. 👉🏻Ardoq primarily chose Younium to establish a flexible and scalable financial backend and implement an efficient quote-to-cash process using Salesforce and Xledger in conjunction with Younium. Thank you Bård Bognøy and team for trusting us🙏🏻

🚀 Transforming Municipal IT Infrastructure with Microsoft Azure 🌐 Municipal organizations often grapple with the challenge of managing costly and outdated IT systems. In response, SML-IT, a collaboration between Sotenäs Kommun, Munkedals kommun, and Lysekils kommun, sought a modern, cost-effective solution. They chose Microsoft Azure primarily for its robust capabilities in handling sensitive personal data, ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations. By adopting Azure, they eliminated the need for expensive physical servers, allowing them to pay only for the resources they use. This shift not only enhanced data security but also provided the flexibility to scale operations as needed. The partnership with Atea Norge AS further facilitated a smooth transition, leveraging their expertise in cloud solutions. Curious about how this innovative approach can benefit other municipalities? Read more about their journey and insights! 📖✨ https://lnkd.in/e2HXFMvz #Azure #MicrosoftAzure #SmartCities #Microsoftadvocate

Smart sustainability landgrab from Microsoft 🇸🇪 Low carbon datacentre locations like Sweden will prove invaluable as AI and the cloud become the next big carbon emitter. More and more scrutiny will fall on the ‘actual’ emissions of cloud providers as the sustainability liability continues to fall on the enterprises utilising these datacentres as EU regulation tightens. There are only so many AI / cloud data centre regional grids can take so get them while you can.. or your business could be looking elsewhere to solutions who can offer green compute. #ai #sustainability #cloudsustainability #greenops https://lnkd.in/eB8rMvMa

Enabling your organization to use data more intelligently to provide services is crucial. This was the problem that Stavanger kommune, Norway’s fourth largest municipality, wanted to solve. Located in the southwest of the country, the municipality consists of around 145,000 inhabitants living in the city of Stavanger itself, and in the surrounding towns and countryside. The municipality’s 11,000 plus employees are involved in managing welfare services, roads and traffic systems, sustainability, and education, and host of other services essential to the lives of the citizens. Maximizing the efficiency of those services relies on the collection, processing, and analysis of a huge amount of data. Working with the help of partner Bouvet ASA and Microsoft, the team have invested in building a Microsoft Azure data platform alongside Power Platform and Fabric to enable more intelligent management of data and it’s governance. The outcome has been improved delivery of the services citizens need. One of their innovations has been to use AI to remove sensitive personal information from data submitted by citizens.
