CloudThat Announces Center of Generative AI Innovation

BENGALURU, India, May 20, 2024 – CloudThat has announced the inauguration of its Center of Generative AI Innovation, a powerful space designed to propel businesses forward with cutting-edge GenAI technology.

80% of Businesses Want Generative AI, But Half Struggle

A recent BCG study revealed that while 80% of businesses are interested in adopting generative AI, 50% of these interested businesses are struggling with it. These struggles are largely attributed to a lack of a strategic roadmap or infrastructure capacity to do so effectively. Simply put, many businesses want to leverage the power of generative AI, but simply don’t know where to start or how to implement it successfully.

Without a clear strategy aligned with business goals, attempts to adopt generative AI flounder. And even with a strategy, businesses need the infrastructure – technology, tools, talent – to bring generative AI projects to their full potential. The enthusiasm is there, but for half of businesses interested in generative AI, the capacity is not. This gap between interest and successful adoption highlights the need for expert guidance and support when navigating the complex generative AI landscape.

CloudThat’s Center of Generative AI Innovation is a powerful innovation hub designed to help businesses of all sizes harness the transformative potential of cutting-edge generative AI technology. By providing expert guidance, a low-risk sandbox environment, and seamless integration services, the Center aims to make generative AI adoption fast, effective, and accessible for organizations seeking to gain a competitive edge.

Bhavesh Goswami, founder and CEO of CloudThat, opined, “Generative AI has brought a monumental shift in the way business is done, and how we envision business processes. It is just not an incremental process but a fundamental change which can change the face of businesses and industries altogether. It is the time of the hour for businesses to embrace GenAI, adopt new practices and get ahead.  The center is developed to bridge the gap between what organizations interest and actual execution.”

How the Center of Generative AI Innovation Helps

CloudThat’s Center of Generative AI Innovation provides comprehensive support to ensure businesses across sizes succeed with this transformative technology.

Expert Guidance

CloudThat’s team of generative AI specialists will collaborate with businesses to identify industry-specific use cases that can revolutionize business operations. Its experts have years of experience across various industries and will work closely with businesses to uncover the best applications of generative AI for unique business needs.

Whether it’s automating routine tasks, generating content, or enhancing customer interactions, our specialists will pinpoint where generative AI can make the biggest impact. With a deep understanding of the enterprise’s goals, workflows, and pain points, they can recommend tailored solutions to boost productivity and efficiency.

The hands-on approach focuses on results – experts won’t just tell organizations how generative AI works; they’ll show them how it can work for their enterprise. By brainstorming together, the partnership can find innovative ways to incorporate generative AI into existing systems and processes to drive transformative change.

With the center businesses can feel confident that their generative AI implementations will be strategic, impactful, and designed around revolutionizing operations from the inside out.

Reduced Risk & Faster Development

It offers a dedicated sandbox environment that allows businesses to develop and test their generative AI solutions with minimal risk. This sandbox serves as an isolated space where businesses can experiment, iterate quickly, and fail fast without impacting live systems or workflows.

The sandbox environment provides a number of key benefits:

  • Minimizes risks associated with developing new generative AI solutions by containing them within a closed environment. This prevents any potential issues from affecting core business systems.
  • Accelerates the development of the lifecycle by enabling rapid prototyping, testing, and iterations. Businesses can go through many trial-and-error cycles seamlessly to refine their solutions.
  • Lowers costs by reducing the need for multiple physical development and testing environments. The sandbox allows for efficient validation before deploying to production.
  • Gives flexibility to securely collaborate with partners, vendors, or distributed teams by granting controlled access to the sandbox environment

By leveraging CloudThat’s dedicated generative AI sandbox, businesses can bring their solutions to market faster with less risk and cost. The sandbox streamlines the entire development process to unlock innovation.

Seamless Integration

CloudThat’s Center of Generative AI Innovation ensures new AI solutions are integrated seamlessly into the existing workflows and systems, maximizing their impact across the organization. The integration specialists work closely with business teams to fully understand the current tech stack, workflows, and pain points.

We then design the integration in a way that avoids disruption and immediately improves operations. The AI solutions feel like a natural extension of the organization’s existing systems rather than an add-on. This allows the employees to benefit from the AI without a steep learning curve or major process changes.

Seamless integration also enables the new generative AI solutions to build on existing data, insights, and processes. Rather than starting from scratch, these integrations allow new AI to hit the ground running, delivering rapid results by working with current workflows and information. This amplifies the ROI of investment in generative AI.

At CloudThat, we take care of the complex integration work so businesses can focus on using AI to transform business. The experts handle all the technical details to ensure new generative AI solutions slot perfectly into place.

ServiceNow, Fujitsu Partner for Digital Transformation

LAS VEGAS, NV, May 17, 2024 – At ServiceNow’s annual customer and partner event, Knowledge 2024, ServiceNow, the AI platform for business transformation, and Fujitsu Limited, an industry leader in IT services and digital transformation solutions, announced a new strategic commitment to launch innovative cross‑industry solutions designed to maximize value for customers globally. The companies will launch a new Fujitsu‑ServiceNow Innovation Center to focus on digital transformation and customer success, and Fujitsu will expand its own use of the Now Platform on its way to provide even greater value to customers.

As organizations across industries evolve from decades of manual work, legacy systems, and limited resources that slow operations and impact services, ServiceNow and Fujitsu will use automation to help businesses streamline siloed enterprise systems, applications, and complex business processes. The companies will first target the manufacturing sector and bring to the market solutions to manage overall Engineering Chain Management (ECM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) operations.

To accelerate innovation and development, the Fujitsu‑ServiceNow Innovation Center development hub will open in Kawasaki City, Japan, in the second half of 2024, where the two companies will focus on collaborating on new solutions for customers, implement marketing activities and drive mutual human resource development to achieve higher quality customer success. These efforts will initially focus on cloud‑based offerings that contribute to streamlining customer operations and realizing data‑driven management by combining ServiceNow’s complementary solutions with Fujitsu Uvance, a business model of Fujitsu that aims to grow businesses and solve societal issues.

“Enterprises worldwide need a digital business model that frees up resources to fuel innovation,” said Bill McDermott, ServiceNow chairman and CEO. “This presents a massive opportunity for our partnership with Fujitsu. ServiceNow’s innovative, AI‑first platform alongside Fujitsu’s deep industry expertise and global scale, will bring incredible value to our customers, turning their most complex operational challenges into opportunities for growth.”

“Fujitsu has been working with customers to improve a wide range of business and societal challenges using the powerful ServiceNow platform,” said Yoshinami Takahashi, vice president and COO for Uvance at Fujitsu Limited. “As we embark on this new strategic partnership with ServiceNow, we will deepen the integration of our respective technologies and practical knowledge, including in areas like generative AI, as part of our efforts to develop a digital society, one of Fujitsu’s materialities. The new cross‑industry offerings created through this partnership will provide even greater value to more customers and society.”

To further leverage ServiceNow as a powerful, integrated platform, Fujitsu and ServiceNow will combine Fujitsu’s world‑class advisory services called “Fujitsu Customer Advisory and Support Excellence” (CASE) with the power of ServiceNow Impact – a comprehensive value acceleration solution from ServiceNow, to provide enhanced customer support. The insights gained from Impact’s global deployments, tools, and knowledge can be seamlessly translated into customers’ ServiceNow platforms through CASE’s professional services and will be globally available later this year.

As a ServiceNow customer, Fujitsu plans to use tools like Now Assist AI to improve the efficiency and automation of business operations, and use the knowledge gained to significantly streamline the development of innovative new offerings. For example, Fujitsu expects that by using generative AI capabilities like Fujitsu Kozuchi and Now Assist, they’ll reduce incidents by approximately 30%.

In recognition of Fujitsu’s expansive, business transformation solutions and services, the company was named the 2024 RiseUp with ServiceNow Worldwide Partner of the Year in and was also recognized by ServiceNow with several partner awards for the APAC region in 2024.
