DALLAS (PRWEB)
February 05, 2020

The OpenStack Foundation has opened registration for its next community event, OpenDev + PTG, to be held June 8-11, 2020, at the Vancouver Convention Center in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. OpenDev + PTG is a new collaborative event gathering developers, system architects and operators to address common open source infrastructure challenges.

OpenDev Programming at the Event

The OpenDev portion will include discussion-oriented sessions focused on exploration of specific problems that share common architectures, with the goal of collaborating around potential community-driven solutions. This OpenDev event will be organized around tracks spanning open source projects and communities, including Airship, Ansible, Ceph, Kata Containers, Kubernetes, OpenStack, StarlingX, and Zuul.

Tracks at the OpenDev event include:

• Hardware Automation
• Large-scale Usage of Open Source Infrastructure Software
• Containers in Production
• Key Challenges for Open Source

PTG Programming at the Event

The Project Teams Gathering (PTG) portion will leverage the output of the OpenDev event, exploring specific software enhancements and integration points that can equip these projects with capabilities to enable the solutions developed in OpenDev. Participants in the PTG will be upstream contributors and leaders of a diversity of open infrastructure projects, both within the OpenStack Foundation community and beyond. Practices will be explored by project teams, SIGs and other working groups that will be provided dedicated space to get work done and maximize the efficiency of the time they spend in Vancouver.

2020 Open Infrastructure Summit

The next Open Infrastructure Summit (formerly the OpenStack Summit) will take place October 19-23 at the bcc Berlin Congress Center in Berlin, Germany. The global event will bring community leaders and speakers from around the world and will provide an important opportunity for developers worldwide—and especially in Europe—to collaborate in person with developers from the global community. The Summit will also feature a PTG event to plan the next release of OpenStack as well as other open infrastructure projects.

The Open Infrastructure Summit brings together influential business decision makers, infrastructure architects and open source developers from around the world and across more than 30 different open source communities. Professionals from many industries, including financial services, government, manufacturing, telecom and IT, rely on open infrastructure to run their business, and the Summit is where they collaborate.

Sponsorship Information

Sponsoring these events will help ensure the continued growth and success of open infrastructure projects. A sponsorship prospectus for OpenDev + PTG is now available, and the Summit prospectus will be available in the upcoming months. If your organization is interested in participating and supporting the open infrastructure community, please contact events@openstack.org.

“The 2020 open infrastructure event lineup is designed to meet specific community needs for events that allow productive collaboration and focus on desired outcomes,” said Jonathan Bryce, executive director of the OpenStack Foundation. “The Vancouver event is designed to facilitate collaboration among developers to solve particular technical challenges, and the Berlin event is focused on bringing the voices of users and developers together to set priorities, hear keynotes on advanced use cases, and learn more about what the vendor community has to offer operators of open infrastructure.”

TruConnectRE.Com

With its technologically intelligent, data-driven and human-powered approach, TruConnectRE.Com provides the realtor with advanced software to manage and track the leads provided. – TruConnect Real Estate

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (PRWEB)
February 03, 2020

Artificial intelligence is here and there are no signs of it slowing down. From countering credit card fraud to recommending shows on Netflix, the explosive growth of AI started in 2010. According to a survey conducted by PwC, 63% of people agree that AI will help solve complicated problems that have infested societies today, and 59% acknowledge that AI will serve in helping people live more fulfilling lives. With its potential to revolutionize and render more efficiency, Artificial intelligence is infiltrating the real estate industry very quickly.

Searching for a new home can be overwhelming. Today, there are real estate portals that recommend properties touching characteristics such as the area, price, number of rooms, square footage, etc, more often than not, displaying far more information than homebuyers need. On the other hand, we have realtors. Without the help of AI, the agent has to go through the glacial process of marketing, gathering leads, finding the right buyer and then following up.

In 2017, the value of the real estate industry amounted to 134.3 billion U.S. dollars and has been forecast to expand to almost 200 billion U.S. dollars by 2022 ONLY if it manages to adapt to the fast-growing technology today. Thanks to PwC, it has been estimated that if the industry keeps up with Artificial Intelligence, it is predicted to add more than $15 trillion to the global GDP in the next decade. Now the question is, how many real estate industries are picking up the pace to contribute to the number?

To name some heavy hitters, Zillow and Realtor.com introduced models using AI that uncover a quality resource to collect and scour real estate leads, giving the realtor a head start on sales, recurrently filling their funnels with potential clients. Zillow’s model exhibits creativity but it charges an upfront fee, locking the agent in a contract whether they get to close a deal or not. On the contrary, OpCity (Owned by Realtor.com) offers a comparatively better business model where it charges agents upon a successful closing. However, the referral fee is 35-38% and the leads are not guaranteed. This unpredictability is a flaw. A more reliable, labor-saving Real Estate model? TruConnectRE.Com.

A trailblazer in administering technology and implementing Artificial intelligence, TruConnect Real Estate is eliminating the diffidence faced by other models. Here’s how.

With its effective lead generation system that uses both, inbound and outbound marketing to engage buyers, TruConnect tailors and manages marketing material for the realtor by establishing an all-in-one platform. Being completely invested in the agent’s gain, it not only provides them with solid leads but also offers a complete solution to the problems they’re facing. With its technologically intelligent, data-driven and human-powered approach, TruConnectRE.Com provides the realtor with advanced software to manage and track the leads provided. The cherry on top? TruConnectRE only charges the agent a 25% referral fee after a closing! Yes, that’s right. The referral is only paid once the lead provided to you has evolved!

This system frees up time for the realtor to focus on the latent buyer, closing 2 to 5 times the deals they ordinarily do. They are introduced to screened and potential clients and are left to form a relationship and come to arbitration.

With all eyes on Artificial Intelligence, it’s perceptible that this technology will largely impact the future of the real estate. It will be disruptive and will eliminate comfortable practices, but it will also save a vast amount of time and money when it comes to operational productivity and client assistance. Its ability to collect and analyze from an inflow of data is sure to make agents more efficient, brokers more decisive, and clients ultimately more empowered to experience the buying and selling process with a tap on the screens of their phones.

“Our five-year anniversary and steady growth trajectory are incredible validation of our collaborative approach to leveraging data to create valuable strategies that deliver ROI and empower clients to make more informed decisions,” said John Loury, Co-Founder and President of CE Strategy.

CAUSE + EFFECT Strategy https://causeandeffectstrategy.com/, a business intelligence firm, marked its fifth year in business and announced continued double-digit growth for the third consecutive year, demonstrating the success of its unique capabilities and approach to helping companies optimize through digital innovation. The company, named by AdWeek as one of the 100 fastest growing agencies in the world, has reached impressive milestones since its inception, including expanding capabilities to focus on business intelligence, securing top talent, adding new analytic capabilities, and building an impressive client roster that includes companies across multiple data-rich industries.

Helping Organizations Drive Efficiencies and Adapt to Evolving Processes

Reports(1) show that among the biggest challenges companies face when undergoing digital transformation and adopting a data driven culture—which are top-priority strategies for many businesses—are related to people and process. This is where CE Strategy helps.

The data is leveraged to develop and guide strategies that address key areas of clients’ businesses, including marketing, operations, fundraising, and human capital management. It can be used, for instance, to optimize operations, help organizations more effectively target and engage with prospective customers, and mitigate churn before it takes place.

Realizing the potential that data has to transform entire organizations, CE Strategy shifted its focus from marketing intelligence to overall business intelligence and last year changed its name to reflect its broader capabilities. Its core services include the aggregation and visualization of data, insight through data science, development of business strategy, and continuous optimization and measurement.

Since its inception, CE Strategy has reached impressive milestones, including:

• Achieved three consecutive years of double digit year-over-year growth
• Named among AdWeek’s Top 100 Fastest Growing Agencies
• Boosted its senior leadership team with the addition of Amy Gurske, who has held management positions at Grainger and Amazon, and brings a wealth of analytics, supply chain management experience, and a PhD in organizational psychology to the business
• Invested in business technology and staff, including machine learning and cloud-based capabilities, to allow for faster delivery of insights and development of strategy, and make it easier for clients to leverage data to impact their bottom lines
• 2019 client wins include Delta Sonic, Cooper Vision, Workstride, Predicata, and the 2020 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship

Looking Ahead: Promoting the Power of Data

CE Strategy plans to continue strengthening relationships with its current clients that span multiple industry verticals, including advertising, B2B, financial services, fundraising, higher education, politics, and retail industries. It hopes to attract new clients by continually demonstrating the enormous value of its distinct approach to providing data insight and business strategy to drive a company’s retention and growth. CE Strategy also plans to add staff in the coming year so that it may continue to innovate and support its growing client base.
