June 1, 2020 TechENT Syndication Leave a comment

Increase your tech candidate pool and reduce time to hire through the rigorous science of SHL combined with the AI of Aspiring Minds

MINNEAPOLIS, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — SHL, the market leader in talent innovation, today launched its Technology Hiring Solution to help customers automate and seamlessly scale the tech hiring process, all in a secure, remote environment that accounts for the current COVID-19 reality and beyond.

Attracting and hiring talent in the tech industry has never been more challenging. Traditional recruiting is not effective, as resumes and CVs alone are not a valid measure of skill and potential. Quality talent requires remote assessment, faster offers, and an engaging candidate experience.

In fact, today more than 90% of candidates for tech roles typically have multiple offers on the table. SHL’s new solution addresses this reality by cutting hiring time in half and increasing the candidate pool by 45% over traditional methods.

“Our Tech Hiring Solution offers the most valid and relevant assessment tools available to evaluate coding and technical skills, ” said Jora Gill, SHL’s Chief Digital Officer. “We use artificial intelligence and data-driven insights to ensure you never miss out on the best tech talent, and your candidates enjoy an immersive and branded hiring experience.”

SHL’s Tech Hiring Solution combines 40 years of assessment science with the innovative artificial intelligence of its recent acquisition, Aspiring Minds, to ensure the fastest and most efficient hiring for these highly sought-after roles.

The solution goes beyond what most coding simulations can produce, allowing employers to evaluate the candidate based on four rubric parameters – programming ability, programming practices, runtime complexity, and functional correctness. This provides visibility into the candidate’s skill level beyond the traditional pass-or-fail method.

“You may have a candidate who makes one keystroke error but is brilliant in every other way,” said Himanshu Aggarwal, SHL Chief Growth Officer. “In a highly competitive market for technical skill, it is important to capture every eligible and gifted candidate there is — our solution makes that possible.”

Cellwize Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for its Cloud-based, AI open RAN automation platform, Chime

June 1, 2020 TechENT Syndication Leave a comment

Cellwize’s automation platform successfully reduces the operator’s operating expenditure and the time-to-market of its 5G deployment and creates an open ecosystem for network deployments

SANTA CLARA, California, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the global radio access network (RAN) automation market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cellwize with the 2020 Global Product Line Strategy Leadership Award for its Chime platform. Cellwize has pushed the envelope by engineering a solution that is easy to integrate into a multi-vendor RAN environment, and which enhances the level of automation and management.

Cellwize

“Cellwize has expanded its focus from optimizing the RAN to managing and automating the RAN itself, including implementing automation principles across the heterogeneous network and application layers. This vision resulted in the development of its flagship RAN management and automation platform, Cellwize Chime,” said Rohan Joy Thomas Industry Analyst. “Cellwize Chime utilizes AI and ML and is completely cloud-based and vendor-agnostic, has an open micro-services based architecture to address many key use cases, and is commercialized via flexible business models, including a pay-as-you-use model.”

Cellwize forges unique partnerships with other technology firms, which allows it to customize its go-to-market strategy according to the region. For instance, one of its notable partners, Tech Mahindra, is recognized for its technology consultancy expertise in the global telecommunications industry. Cellwize has leveraged this partnership to build its go-to-market strategies that are custom to the technological maturity of both the network operator and the region in which the network operator is located. Similarly, its partnership with Deloitte helps network operators with change management, which is essential during the deployment phase of the automation stack as well as throughout the value realization path.

Significantly, Cellwize Chime has enhanced Artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, which change the information collected from external sources into a unified and open data model and exposes that data to Cellwize’s open application programming interfaces (APIs). It then passes the information to the operator’s many different applications that are deployed on the legacy Radio Access Technologies such as 2G, 3G, 4G, and the upcoming 5G deployment. On average, the platform helps network operators save 60 percent of their OPEX, which would have otherwise been spent on getting the RAN operational.

“Cellwize Chime moves from a static radio network policy to one that is adaptive through an enhanced AI/ML-type of governance, which provides carriers with significant flexibility to avoid vendor lock-ins, without going to their incumbent vendor for solutions,” noted Thomas. “In a multi-cloud environment that consists of edge compute and centralized clouds, Cellwize Chime can seamlessly integrate different components with each other across different environments.”

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a comprehensive product line that caters to the breadth of the market it serves. The award recognizes the extent to which the product line meets customer base demands, and the overall impact it has in terms of customer value and increased market share.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

About Frost & Sullivan

For over five decades, Frost & Sullivan has become world-renowned for its role in helping investors, corporate leaders and governments navigate economic changes and identify disruptive technologies, Mega Trends, new business models and companies to action, resulting in a continuous flow of growth opportunities to drive future success.

Tech & Tonic Episode 15 – Deep Dive into AMD’s Ryzen 4000 Mobile!

June 1, 2020 Darwin Sucipto Leave a comment

Another week, another Tech & Tonic Podcast. This week we delve deeper into something that was launched for APAC last week. We saw the official announcement and presentation of the AMD Ryzen 4000 CPUs for mobile devices. The presentation came with a lot of numbers too, the usual jargon for CPU comparisons and compute powers.

What does the numbers mean though? We take a look at the numbers and translate them to real world experiences we got from our tech reviews so far. That is, right after we talk wonders about Mercedes-Benz’s new super fast, compact A-Class cars that just launched in Malaysia today.

While Lenovo launched their line-up of updated gaming rigs, we were only interested in one thing in their presentation. At the end of their Legion gaming rigs presentation they teased the Lenovo Legion smartphone and other Lenovo smartphones. We overanalysed that a little bit, and poked fun at the leaked render of the device too. All that and more in Tech & Tonic Podcast.
