How Business Automation Can Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency

by

Running a business today means navigating a competitive landscape where agility, accuracy, and cost-efficiency are everything.

As organizations, especially small to mid-sized enterprises, strive to do more with less, business automation has emerged as a strategic necessity – not just a technical upgrade.

Gone are the days when automation was only accessible to large corporations with deep pockets and IT departments. Thanks to modern cloud-based tools and no-code platforms, businesses of all sizes can now automate repetitive tasks, reduce overhead, and improve overall efficiency – often with minimal upfront investment.

Let’s break down how business automation actually reduces costs and drives efficiency – and why now is the best time to embrace it. [Read more…] about How Business Automation Can Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency

Quantum-Resistant Cryptography: Protecting the Future

by

Kee­ping our data secure is very important. Quantum compute­rs may soon break current codes. So, experts work on cryptography that resists quantum hacks. The U.S. Comme­rce Department se­lected four strong secre­t codes.

These code­s use tricky math problems to block attacks. Secre­tary Gina M. Raimondo highlighted this crucial project. NIST picked seve­n top choices and eight backups from 82 options over six ye­ars. But switching will take time. Challenge­s include ensuring smooth integration and le­gal battles over origins. [Read more…] about Quantum-Resistant Cryptography: Protecting the Future

RGo Robotics and Theobroma Systems unveil new vision and computing solution for robotics
