Customer experience lays the foundation for new digital business models
Digital business models are not an end in themselves. Rather their purpose is to offer a technical solution. The decisive factor is the transformation towards customer-centric value creation that brings with it a fundamental shift in culture. This is a challenging task that can only be accomplished within an interdisciplinary team, says Markus Holzner, Business Area Manager at bbv.
AI in the industry: training models with small datasets
Common practices for training machine learning models are based on large datasets, but these are often not available in the manufacturing industry. Data-centric AI is a new approach that should also enable manufacturing companies to successfully use AI systems.
Software based on modular design
Low-code and no-code platforms allow even those not well versed in IT to develop productive business applications. Professional programmers should also make use of the relevant tools to complement rather than replace their work.
