The 3Q12 Global TPI Index, which measures commercial outsourcing contracts with an annual contract value (ACV) of $5 million or more, totaled $4.8 billion, the second-highest third-quarter total on record but a decline of 6 percent from the third quarter of 2011 and 10 percent from the second quarter of 2012. Excluding the Atos-Siemens mega-deal awarded a year ago, third-quarter ACV would have been up 18 percent year-over-year.
Through the first three quarters of 2012, ACV has grown 3 percent to $14.8 billion, led by the ongoing surge of outsourcing activity and contract values in Asia Pacific, a continued climb in the value of contracts for business process outsourcing (BPO) globally, and an increase in large contract activity, especially in emerging markets. The number of mega-relationships, defined as contracts with an ACV of $100 million or more, is up 100 percent year-to-date and has already exceeding the full-year total from 2011.
"From Big Data to Smart data"
Jie (Jack) Yang, Associate Research Fellow, SMART Infrastructure Facility, presented a summary of his research as part of the SMART Seminar Series on 28 April 2016.

A presentation conducted by Dr Ges Rosenberg, Systems Research Development Manager, University of Bristol
Presented on Thursday the 3rd of October 2013.
Current planning and appraisal processes treat infrastructure as discrete, sector-specific assets, and as a consequence fail to identify and exploit potentially valuable interdependencies. Similarly, these silo-based approaches are unable to identify potentially hazardous and costly interdependencies in a systematic manner. A major challenge then for providers of modern infrastructure, is to realise the innovative opportunities in interdependencies, and so increase value-for-money, sustainability and resilience.e. To achieve this it is necessary to recognise that real-world infrastructure systems’ are highly interconnected, both with each other and with the socio economic and natural systems in which they are located.
This paper presents the outcome from a research partnership between the University of Bristol and University College London, sponsored by HM Treasury in the UK.
It proposes an ‘open-systems’, cross-sectoral approach to create and manage infrastructure interdependencies, and comprises a framework of principles (‘stewardship’, ‘shared-governance’ and ‘interdiscipliniarity’), and associated organisational maturity measures, and systems-based tools.
CPqD - Detecção Inteligente de Eventos por Imagem - Um Desafio para Internet ...André Curvello

By Paul Reynolds. The 2015 ISG Advisor Relations Benchmark investigates how service providers fund and allocate their Advisor Relations budgets and how teams are changing in each region to engage with third-party advisors. Join this session and leave with the information you need to benchmark your own Advisor Relations program.
By Richard Fogel and Stanton Jones. The outsourcing industry has embraced service standardization, sourcing decisions have become increasingly fact-based, and the RFP process is less relevant than ever before. How do these trends in sourcing impact commercial contracting? This breakfast session will explore how market participants are moving away from yesterday’s cumbersome practices and are bringing new efficiency to client relationships.
