In the past few decades, technology has jumped by leaps and bounds in what it is able to do. Recently, and in the coming months, it will be noted not just for “what” it can do, but in “how” it does it. Technology is getting smarter and more connected. Internet of Things, voice activation, and deep learning are just a few of the catalysts sparking increased performance and increased ease of use for end users. In this issue of FOCUS we take a look at some of the devices and trends connected with smarter technology.
Discover how deep learning techniques are delivering on the promise of video analytics (p1). We also take a look at how smart surveillance helps protect both players and the house throughout casinos (p5). We show how a little smarts goes a long way in selling to government (p.9) and we take a look at the growing smart home trend (p.15) and how it could soon affect business technology. Finally, we see what it takes to outsmart bank robbers and all their various tricks (p.23).
With technology continually getting smarter, it’s important to stay ahead of the trends and maintain a consistent level of expertise. ScanSource offers a variety of web seminars and training sessions to make sure your team stays smarter than the technology. Whatever you need, we’re always ready to help.
