SUEZ is a global utility company that addresses water challenges through technology and expertise. Their SES approach involves a 4-step strategy of collecting data from sensors and logbooks, connecting disparate data systems, optimizing operations through analysis and plans, and providing real-time decision advisories. Case studies demonstrate how this approach helped utilities improve compliance, reduce costs and energy usage, and optimize infrastructure planning through integrated data systems and analytics. The discussion encourages utilities to build digital solutions step-by-step to maximize value, starting with strong data foundations.

Interactive Water Services: The Waternomics ApproachEdward Curry
WATERNOMICS focuses on the development of ICT as an enabling technology to manage water as a resource, increase end-user conservation awareness and affect behavioral changes. Unique aspects of WATERNOMICS include personalized feedback about end-user water consumption, the development of systematic and standards-based water resource management systems, new sensor hardware developments, and the introduction of forecasting and fault detection diagnosis to the analysis of water consumption data. These services will be bundled into the WATERNOMICS Water Information Services Platform. This paper presents the overall architectural approach to WATERNOMICS and details the potential interactive services possible based on this novel platform.

The New Role of Data in the Changing Energy & Utilities LandscapeDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3PrxEx2
Energy companies - both producers and utilities - are facing a challenging and changing business and regulatory environment over the next decade or so. As governments around the world pledge to be 'net zero' by 2050, new regulations are putting pressure on energy companies to accelerate the move to renewable energy sources whilst at the same time gearing up for more widespread electrification as consumers move away from carbon fuels.
The growth of renewable energy sources has also changed the way that utilities manage demand response. The old way of bringing generating units (typically coal or gas-fueled generators) online for peak demand hours no longer works. The distributed utility infrastructure that is used today requires a lot more flexibility and planning to meet - and to shape - consumer demand.
At the heart of the energy company challenges is data. Data to better manage and optimize the generating resources. Data to better inform the consumers about their energy consumption. And data to deliver better services and new product offerings to those consumers.
In this webinar, we will look at how energy companies and utilities can liberate and democratize their data to better utilize the strategic data assets that they already own. We will look at how the Denodo Platform, powered by Data Virtualization, has helped energy companies around the world access real-time data to drive their operations and allow them to respond to the ever-changing business environment.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
