European IBM Experts to Sponsor AI Tech Zone Networking Area, Highlighting Innovative Data Management Solutions
Dot Group, leading European experts in IBM technologies, announces its participation as a sponsor of the AI Tech Zone networking area at IBC2024 (Hall 14, stand 14.AIP14). The company will showcase how AI is transforming media and entertainment through technologies like IBM watsonx, the company’s enterprise data and AI platform, which has been deployed to revolutionise digital experiences at major global sports at events. Additionally, Dot Group will showcase AI-driven sustainability solutions, highlighting their commitment to environmental initiatives in the media industry.
As leaders in data engineering and analytics, Dot Group will demonstrate how AI-driven solutions can simplify data collection, analysis, and reporting for sustainability initiatives. The focus will be on helping organisations understand and reduce their carbon footprint through GreenOps and FinOps approaches. GreenOps helps organisations to achieve the lowest possible environmental impact for business operations, while FinOps helps to deliver operations at the lowest possible cost. Leveraging IBM's position on sustainability, Dot Group will showcase solutions powered by IBM Envizi and Apptio which offer practical tools for media companies to balance operational efficiency, financial optimisation, and environmental stewardship.
Dot Group will also highlight IBM watsonx, an enterprise AI and data platform with assistants that leverages Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). This cutting-edge AI for business platform has already made significant impacts across the media and entertainment sector. At major sporting events like The Championships, Wimbledon, watsonx has been used to enhance the digital experience for fans, including creating stories on players and matches and generating commentary for highlights videos. In football, Sevilla FC used watsonx to optimise the player recruitment process, demonstrating its versatility beyond content creation. Across the M&E industry, watsonx is transforming customer service, employee support, business processes, HR, and recruiting by ensuring customised AI-generated responses are not only prompt but also thoroughly validated.
The company's comprehensive suite of M&E solutions on display will also include IBM Aspera and DataSprint for high-speed, secure file transfers, crucial for today's content-heavy media landscape. As the leading European experts in this technology, Dot Group offers tailored solutions to meet specific industry needs.
Additionally, Dot Group will present IBM NS1 Connect, a managed service for authoritative DNS and traffic steering that improves application performance and network resilience, ensuring smooth user experiences crucial in media delivery. The company will also showcase robust IBM Storage solutions designed to meet the unique demands of media and entertainment businesses.
