Overcoming Data Silos with Government Master Data Management Solutions

by

Government entities possess a wealth of data. They often grapple with the issue of data silos. These silos hinder the flow of information resulting in inefficiencies and missed opportunities for making decisions based on data.

This article will delve into the concept of data silos within government organisations and shed light on the advantages of adopting Master Data Management (MDM) solutions to tackle these obstacles. [Read more…] about Overcoming Data Silos with Government Master Data Management Solutions

Falling Demand is Undermining Government Investment in Battery and Semiconductor Tech

by

Improvements in battery and semiconductor technology are essential for automation. Physically instantiated AI systems need power cells that can fuel them for work. Tethering them to long cables is impractical in most situations.

Unfortunately, demand for these ancillary technologies is drying up, despite billions of dollars in direct U.S. government funding. Slowing growth in electric vehicle sales is partly to blame.

Still, pundits are also anticipating Donald Trump’s return to the Whitehouse, dampening sentiment in the science and technology sector’s long-term investment plans. [Read more…] about Falling Demand is Undermining Government Investment in Battery and Semiconductor Tech

Staying Warm and Saving Money: Navigating the Warm Home Discount Scheme

by

The warm home discount scheme is a UK government initiative that offers eligible low-income and vulnerable energy customers a £140 discount on their energy bills during the winter season.

While customers who receive pension credit automatically qualify for the discount, other qualifying low-income households must apply for it. Their eligibility is subject to their energy provider offering the scheme and availability of funds.

It is important to note that the discount is directly applied to customers’ energy bills rather than being paid out separately. As the energy crisis continues to impact household bills, the warm home discount scheme has gained increased attention from ministers seeking solutions to address the issue.

What Barriers Still Impede Electric Vehicles?

by

Electric vehicles have been with us for a long time.

It’s only recently that they’re being touted as a serious replacement for the internal combustion engine and a (partial) answer to our climate crisis.

The UK government says that it’ll ban the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030 – and you can reasonably expect any Labour government to be at least as ambitious, given their slightly greener voter-base.

By then, electric cars will need to be fairly ubiquitous. So what’s stopping this from happening right now? [Read more…] about What Barriers Still Impede Electric Vehicles?
