Why "artificial intelligence" will now change the competition

What is currently new in the use of artificial intelligence? Sinan Tankaz : The use of AI in business has so far been characterized by analytical applications. A generation with completely new capabilities will now greatly expand the possible applications - the so-called generative AI models. One of the best-known examples is the "Generative Pre-trained Transformer", known to many as Chat GPT from OpenAI. Generative AI algorithms use existing data - videos, images or even computer code - and create new content from it. This creative element differs from the pure analysis function. What does this mean for companies in concrete terms? Sinan Tankaz : Now is an important time for companies to decide on the use of AI. The reason: when used correctly, the new applications of business AI are a lever that fundamentally improves competitiveness. Companies that get their act together succeed in using generative AI to develop very strong market advantages and leave their competitors, who have hesitated for too long, behind. CANCOM Austria has already been using AI for its customers in productive environments for 6 years and, among other things, ensures that output is maintained by preventing outsourcing. What does this look like in practice? Sinan Tankaz : Customer service call centers in all industries require enormous cost and personnel input. We have developed an AI-based assistance system for customer service that automates all repetitive work in the first step. The second step involves a leap in quality that goes far beyond the classic use of AI: the AI-based recommender independently recognizes and reports the ideal time to contact the customer, the preferred communication channel and which offer makes the most sense. For inquiries in the self-service portal, the system assists with product selection. This enables operators to provide a fast and targeted service that puts the traditional call center experience in the shade. The call center team, relieved of standard inquiries, now takes care of the difficult consultations with the time required. This type of AI strategy is particularly important for traditional companies such as banks and insurance companies. This makes it possible to reach special target groups such as "digital natives" or the rapidly increasing number of older people as a result of demographic change. In recent years, a provider such as Amazon has demonstrated the dynamic effect that a differentiated level of quality in customer service can have on a company's competitive position. When implementing AI, CANCOM Austria relies on the use of graph technology. Similar profiles with similar behavior are merged, i.e. dynamic data is generated and profiles are created. How can this AI lever be used in industry? Sinan Tankaz : We use machine learning in the manufacturing industry. Here, too, it is possible to strengthen the market position of customers with leaps in quality. Here's an example: the experts at CANCOM Austria developed a customized business AI for a manufacturer of large industrial transport bags - so-called "big bags": the aim was to ensure the customer's ambitious performance promise that the company's "big bags" would last 100 percent reliably even under maximum stress. This is important because the contents of the goods in such transport bags usually exceed the value of the carrier bags by a factor of a thousand. The new AI application is now working very successfully in production monitoring at the manufacturer. Sophisticated sensor technology provides seamless data that is evaluated using artificial intelligence. The algorithms learn to detect the smallest deviations in product quality and play to the strength of machines to tirelessly monitor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The result: the manufacturer was able to keep its performance promise and thus significantly increase the prices for the new product line of zero-defect big bags - the earnings per unit are now around four times higher. AI often works with sensitive data - what is your experience here? Sinan Tankaz : With our AI applications, for example, we are working on making everyday life easier for doctors with computer-assisted processes. CANCOM Austria works locally with universities and institutes to ensure quality in the development of AI in this sensitive area with patient data. The benefits of AI applications in medicine are also extremely high: for example, our AI engine scans doctor's letters and prescriptions and independently collects data from them. On this basis, the application provides information on medications, active ingredients and disease progression. This means that not only can medication be used optimally, but interactions can also be avoided. Doctors are relieved of precisely those areas that the machine can do faster and more reliably than they can. It goes without saying that the data processing of sensitive customer data in AI-based applications must be secured. Speaking of security: what should always be taken into account with AI systems ? Sinan Tankaz : The use of AI models is based on trust. However, as AI systems work with neural networks and complex decision trees, it is more difficult to understand the decisions than with conventional software - the so-called black box problem. However, transparency is imperative when dealing with sensitive data in business. CANCOM Austria therefore relies strictly on trustworthy, open and explainable AI models. With these "explainable AI standards", decision transparency is defined, i.e. the question "How is it decided whether results are right or wrong?" and the comparison of identical questions is carried out in feedback loops. This follows a central motif of the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), which aims to regulate AI in all areas of life for the first time worldwide. What does the future look like? Sinan Tankaz : Generative AI models will help to overcome the most important challenges currently facing companies. Success in practice is always about organizing the division of labour between humans and machines in the best possible way. The reason: what is particularly easy for humans is difficult for AI systems and vice versa. Software, for example, can tirelessly sift through and compare tens of thousands of pieces of data - a task that quickly tires people out. However, when it comes to listening carefully to a person and empathically grasping the subtleties, the machine cannot keep up. The combination of man and machine is therefore the model for success. What is your conclusion? Sinan Tankaz : Companies should now seize the opportunity to make use of the new possibilities offered by business AI. Automation with analytical AI is always a promising way to save costs, reduce the workload on employees and raise quality levels. However, generative AI algorithms can do much more. My recommendation to management: benefit from our practical experience and discover that artificial intelligence delivers tangible competitive advantages.

KBC AG becomes part of the CANCOM Group

The two ICT service providers will become one of the leading companies in the DACH region with over 5,600 employees As of today, two leading digital transformation partners are combining their expertise in the ICT segment in the focus markets of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. CANCOM SE , headquartered in Munich , is one of the top IT system houses in Germany. CANCOM has been accompanying companies, organizations and the public sector into the digital future since 1992. As a hybrid IT service provider with 4,000 employees at around 60 locations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Slovakia, the listed company generated annual sales of 1.3 billion euros in 2022. K-Businesscom AG (until 2022 Kapsch Businesscom AG) employs 1,650 people in the DACH region, Romania and the Czech Republic. Revenues in 2022/23 amounted to EUR 520 million. The merger will create one of the leading IT companies in the DACH region and the companies' customers will benefit from bundled expertise in IT and digitalization solutions, related services and the operation of IT systems. The two companies have similar business focuses and are also very complementary in many areas with their service and solutions portfolios. CANCOM is positioned as a specialist for digital workplace, cloud solutions and ICT managed services, among other things. K-Businesscom contributes its know-how as a digital business engineer for IT and business consulting and software development, as well as its expertise in intelligent networks and IT security with its own KBC Cyber Defense Center. With a broad partner landscape of both companies, an international ecosystem of leading global ICT players such as Microsoft, Apple, AWS, SAP, Cisco and HP, with whom both companies already have long-standing partnerships, paired with providers of industry solutions, is now being created. The comprehensive portfolio of services will benefit existing customers and also open up new market potential. "We have long been looking for a way to bring the CANCOM Group into a noticeably stronger market position, particularly in Austria and Switzerland, more quickly than would have been possible through organic growth. The customer structures, the service portfolio, the corporate cultures and the visions for the future represent a unique starting position for us to jointly tackle the growth potential of the DACH market. That is why we and the shareholders of K-Businesscom immediately seized the opportunity to work together," said Rüdiger Rath, CEO of CANCOM SE. Dr. Franz Semmernegg, CEO of K-Businesscom adds: "We see the greatest joint growth potential in our ICT service models (XaaS), especially in the area of cyber security. The general shortage of skilled workers coupled with constantly growing demands on IT departments and increasingly complex threat scenarios mean that companies and institutions are turning to the combined expertise and services of external ICT specialists." Both companies address focus sectors such as healthcare, public and manufacturing industry and develop digital industry solutions with and for their customers. The integration of K-Businesscom into CANCOM creates a leading hybrid ICT service provider with growth potential in the DACH region. K-Businesscom is planning to further expand its market share in Switzerland in particular. The first steps in this direction have already been taken: last week K-Businesscom acquired 100% of the shares in the owner-managed Belsoft Infortix AG. The system integrator with a focus on data centers, networks and security is based in Zurich and has branches in Pfäffikon and Basel. It has 35 employees and a turnover of around EUR 12 million. "The merger with CANCOM marks a milestone in our DACH growth strategy ," explains Jochen Borenich, CEO of K-Businesscom. "Together, we have the opportunity to actively shape the digital transformation as a leading provider in Europe's strongest economic region. Thanks to our technological expertise of over 5,600 employees in combination with our scalable platforms, we can provide our customers with comprehensive support from consulting to secure operation and thus make a significant contribution to the digital competitiveness of the DACH region and Europe. " The close integration and joint path of the two companies will also be reflected in the management and Supervisory Board: Rüdiger Rath and Thomas Stark will join the Supervisory Board of K-Businesscom AG and Jochen Borenich will become a member of the Executive Board (CSO) of the CANCOM SE Group. Franz Semmernegg will remain CEO of KBC and will continue to lead the company with the existing, successful management team.

Med UniGraz and K-Businesscom enter into research cooperation

Vienna, 14.10.2022 - The Medical University of Graz and digitalization specialist K-Businesscom have entered into a research partnership. In future, artificial intelligence will help hospitals to ensure that medication is administered seamlessly. Background: Every year, thousands of people worldwide die due to incorrect medication in hospital. On the wards, there is a high risk of confusion when dispensing medication in several places. Smart Medication aims to eliminate this safety problem. "There are still too many errors in the allocation of medication in hospitals - this gap needs to be closed quickly," says Priv.-Doz. Dr. Gerald Sendlhofer, Head of Quality and Risk Management, University Hospital Graz. In this situation, algorithms that cannot tire are perfect for supporting the busy staff. Four-eyes principle for administering medication "In our joint research project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), we are focusing on the dual control principle of man and machine for safe medication - using intelligent image recognition processes," says Michael Baumgartner, Head of Business Consulting, Health and Social Care at K-Businesscom. The first step is to create a comprehensive database of the most frequently prescribed medications. Later, the AI will access this when the boxes of medication are dispensed to patients. The technology then automatically checks whether the correct medication is in the dispenser in the correct dosage. To do this, the information is compared with the electronic patient file. Seamlessly safeguarding the "last few meters" to the hospital bed "Our research project focuses in particular on the 'last few meters' of the medication's journey to the patient," says Baumgartner. "We are investigating how digital technology can specifically improve everyday hospital life here." At the same time, the contribution of smart assistants that are already in daily use is to be measured. For example, the digital ward round trolley contains a personal "medication safe". At the start of the ward round, the nurse scans the barcode on the patient's wrist. Only then does the electronic patient file and the individual medication compartment open - no mix-ups. The research partners want to spend two years investigating the tangible benefits of such digital helpers. "We have already worked together excellently during the one-and-a-half year preparation period," says Priv.-Doz. Dr. Sendlhofer. "We are already looking forward to the new insights into how medication can be managed safely in the clinic in future." About K-Businesscom AG K-Businesscom (formerly Kapsch BusinessCom) is Austria's leading ICT solution and service provider and digitalization partner. KBC combines certified technology expertise with industry know-how as a consultant and end-to-end digital business engineer. In the DACH region, Romania and the Czech Republic, the company develops new business models with its customers on its own KBC platforms with IOT, AI and other software applications.

K-Businesscom employees are convinced that digital technologies can create value, protect the environment and improve our standard of living. With its digitalization expertise, KBC therefore intends to make a significant contribution to promoting the European data economy in conjunction with corresponding sustainability in the coming years. Turnover FY 21/22: around 460 million euros Number of employees: 1,650 About the Medical University of Graz The Research Unit for Safety and Sustainability in Health Care, a research unit of the Department of Surgery, c/o Division of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery of the Medical University of Graz, is the first university institution to explicitly address the topics of "Safety and Sustainability in Health Care". In close cooperation and networking with the LKH-Univ. Klinikum Graz, Quality and Risk Management Unit, relevant topics in the field of healthcare are dealt with jointly. We conduct research in the areas of "patient safety" and "sustainable healthcare" and support their implementation in everyday medical practice. The aim is to deal with the development of patient safety-relevant aspects, the implementation of methods, tools or devices and their sustainability and thus make a significant contribution to patient safety and sustainable healthcare. The project is being carried out at M edUniGraz in cooperation with the Department of Endocrinology and Diabetology/University Clinic for Internal Medicine as an application partner under the on-site management of Assoc. Prof. Priv.-Doz. Dr. Julia Mader.

Kapsch BusinessCom becomes K-Businesscom

Vienna, April 2022: In summer 2021, Kapsch BusinessCom AG was spun off from the Kapsch Group with a new ownership structure and has been operating as an independent company in the DACH region, the Czech Republic and Romania ever since. As of April 1, 2022, KBC will now have a new company name: Kapsch BusinessCom AG will become K-Businesscom AG. The Kapsch Group - a fourth-generation family business - can look back on almost 130 years of history. Its success has always been based on the fact that the Group has continuously developed and reinvented itself over the years. K-Businesscom emerged from the Kapsch Group as a leading ICT solution and service provider. The "K initial" in the new K-Businesscom logo represents precisely this Kapsch DNA and history, which the new company builds on. In mid-2021, Dr. Kari Kapsch acquired a majority stake in KBC as part of the restructuring of the Kapsch Group, Invest Unternehmensbeteiligungs AG acquired a stake of around 22% and the two board members of K-Businesscom AG, Dr. Franz Semmernegg and Jochen Borenich, hold around 10% of the shares. K-Businesscom is a local digitalization partner that combines certified technology expertise with industry know-how as a consultant and end-to-end digital business engineer. The company develops new business models with its customers on its own KBC platforms with IOT, AI and customer-specific software applications. It also supports its customers on their cloud transformation journey and in setting up smart offices. Its own KBC Cyber Defense Center provides 24/7 protection against cyber attacks. KBC's turnover amounted to 460 million euros in the last financial year. The basis for all this is the many years of experience of over 1,550 KBC employees as the market leader for network solutions, collaboration, data center infrastructure, security and managed services. Combined with the technologies and services of international manufacturers such as Cisco, Microsoft, HPE and AWS. "We are convinced that digital technologies can create value, protect the environment and improve our standard of living," explains Jochen Borenich, CEO of K-Businesscom. "With our digitalization expertise, we therefore want to make a significant contribution to promoting the European data economy in conjunction with corresponding sustainability in the coming years."
