CloudSense ramps up B2B selling with upgraded capabilities in latest release of CPQ application suite

Leave a comment

New features on the CloudSense platform will simplify and speed up B2B customer engagement in key industries

LONDON, Aug. 10, 2021 — CloudSense, provider of the world’s most powerful Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) engine, empowers leading brands to launch, sell and manage the entire B2B customer lifecycle for sophisticated products, subscriptions and services. With the latest release (R34) of its category-defining SaaS platform, CloudSense has taken another step towards helping Communications, Media and Utility companies to increase the speed and efficiency of serving their customers. Highlights of the new release include the following capabilities:

 

  • Bulk Subscriber Management, a wholly new addition to CloudSense Order Management enables mass customer product upgrades and service changes for Telcos and Utilities.  It gives them the freedom to roll out competition-enhancing offers, such as the addition of new 5G tariffs to thousands or even millions of end users at speed knowing they can be executed in hours rather than days.
  • The full integration of Magnite (the world’s largest independent sell-side media advertising exchange) with the CloudSense media platform allows publishers to access new revenue streams directly from their main sales platform interface.
  • The new release also reduces the time and cost of managing programmatic guaranteed business for media companies.  Integrations with Google’s demand-side programmatic buying platform, DV360, are now available. These make it easy to formulate optimized Programmatic Guarantee proposals for business customers without leaving the CloudSense platform, and faster to close new business.
  • With self-service channels becoming increasingly important for B2B as well as B2C markets, CloudSense has also introduced advanced functionality around pricing into its Digital Commerce offering. The new Advanced Pricing capability allows CloudSense customers to build highly tailored, individually branded self-service experiences that match the different end-user roles of its B2B customers. Importantly, options for each end-user customer will reflect pricing that has been negotiated within the overall contract for that specific account.

"Enterprises in Communications, Media and Utilities are in a race to transform their businesses to thrive in a digital-first world.  Speed and efficiency in and across revenue operations is essential. All too often however, solutions fall short of power and flexibility to support their more complex B2B use cases at scale.  In our latest release, we’ve added meaningful functionality that is ready to use and quick to deliver business impact," said Alex Fuller, CTO, CloudSense.

About CloudSense

The CloudSense Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) engine powers increased productivity and profits for ambitious enterprises allowing them to launch faster, sell more and fulfill orders faultlessly. Its growing global community of customers span multiple industries including Communications, Media and Energy.

ST Telemedia Global Data Centres collaborates with ABB for artificial intelligence energy optimisation pilot

Leave a comment

Pilot to be carried out in two phases over 12 months as STT GDC seeks to innovate to reach its sustainability goals

SINGAPORE, July 15, 2021 — ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), one of the fastest growing global data centre operators headquartered in Singapore, announced today that it is collaborating with ABB, a technology leader driving digital transformation across industries, to conduct an artificial intelligence (AI) energy optimisation pilot in Singapore. The objective of the pilot is to leverage AI and machine learning (ML) technology and advanced analytics to optimise energy use within a data centre and reduce a facility’s overall carbon footprint.

"STT GDC is excited to collaborate with ABB on this pilot as we transition our data centres to be net carbon-neutral by 2030," said Daniel Pointon, Group Chief Technology Officer, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres. "Our group’s AI roadmap will take a big leap forward with this pilot program and focus on optimising our data centre’s energy utilisation. During the review of the pilot results, we will also assess future AI-based applications such as predictive maintenance, capacity management, security analytics and other business processes in our considerations."

The pilot will span two phases – an initial data exploration, modelling and validation phase, followed by deployment of AI control logic in a live data centre environment. The pilot aims to achieve at least 10 percent reduction in energy usage by the cooling systems, which contributes most to the consumption of electrical power in a data centre after our customer’s IT equipment. Optimising the cooling efficiency will in turn improve power usage effectiveness (PUE) and reduce the carbon footprint, with an estimated reduction of 1,100 tons of carbon in the atmosphere for every 10MW of IT load utilised, which is equivalent to saving approximately 18,000 trees.    

Going further than previous AI research work constrained to white-space of data centres, STT GDC’s pilot is taking a holistic approach and developing AI neural-network models for the entire DC cooling plant including the upstream chiller and distribution systems. The AI project is also unlocking new opportunities for efficiency improvement at a granular level within the data centre. With the ability to glean AI-generated insights, leveraging cutting-edge ABB Ability™ Genix for industrial analytics and AI, STT GDC can effectively track and analyse the wealth of data generated by monitoring systems in the data centre, and better facilitate dynamic cooling optimisation to reap the desired outcomes.

"We look forward to supporting the STT GDC team in their efforts to drive digitalisation and energy efficiencies," said Madhav Kalia, Global Head of Data Center Automation at ABB. "At ABB, we have a strong track record of supporting data centre operators with our best-in-class technology solutions. We are committed to exploring the synergies between our offerings with STT GDC as it embarks on an ambitious plan."

As one of the fastest growing operators, STT GDC is committed to pushing the boundaries in innovation and setting new benchmarks for the wider industry. The vast amount of data that can be captured and harnessed in a live data centre environment makes for a strong base for AI applications which can also be applied to other facets including capacity planning, risk mitigation and predictive maintenance. This, and other research and development initiatives around alternative energy, water efficiency, construction technology and IT, are being carried out by STT GDC’s research and development team based in Singapore.

"In view of growing data demands from end users and emerging business applications that require increasingly higher computing power, the resources that data centres consume have the potential to increase if not appropriately addressed. As a long-term participant in the data centre industry, players like STT GDC must take the lead, maintain operational excellence, and fully align with national and international climate change agendas such as the recently announced Singapore Green Plan 2030. We remain committed to our principles for long-term value creation and goal of contributing towards a more sustainable global economy," Pointon added.

This initiative by STT GDC comes in the wake of its pledge to achieve carbon-neutral data centre operations by 2030 with energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy being key to the Group’s sustainability ambitions. The AI project will be jointly developed by STT GDC and ABB. It will be an on-premise solution that will tightly integrate to the existing ABB Ability™ Data Center Automation system on site, which provides comprehensive monitoring and control of the entire data centre infrastructure.

The data voucher business is a state-funded project to create new business model by processing various data (text, image, video, etc.) owned by demanding companies. Based on its own technology, Brain Ventures is developing AI chatbot engine, AI image processing module, generating AI sports data, and developing a business model through video processing, with demanding companies. Brain Ventures is also advancing into the field of processing legal data and intellectual property data based on data de-identification, weight reduction, and visualization technologies.

Meanwhile, Brain Ventures has developed an AI video content automatic translator and short answer scorer. It is currently co-developing sentence meaning extraction technology with Russia’s Ashmanov Neural Networks with the support of Small and Medium Business Technology Information Promotion Agency."Brain Ventures is always open to companies hoping to create new business models through data processing," said CEO Won-hoe Kim. "We will strive to realize the day when artificial intelligence freely understands, evaluates, and communicates with human languages."
