Technology services firm NCS has launched a suite of artificial intelligence and digital resilience solutions for organisations looking to reinvent themselves in the AI era.
These include frameworks, solutions, and accelerators that governments and enterprises can easily access to use AI securely and at scale.
“Across the world, AI is at the top of people’s minds now, but organisations must not overlook the importance of digital resilience as they embrace AI’s transformational potential,” said NCS CEO Ng Kuo Pin. “To build a safer and more sustainable future, it is crucial that organisations invest to build a foundation in cybersecurity, data governance and technology that will allow AI to flourish. We believe organisations that master both AI and digital resilience will be the ones that will thrive in this increasingly complex global environment.”
NCS’ new solutions include the AI-Digital Resilience (AI+DR) Matrix which enables organisations to build a strategic roadmap that currently improves AI and digital resilience. Serving as a starting point for an organisation starting its AI journey, the framework categorises organisations into four quadrants; AI Dust, Missed Opportunity, House of Cards, and Game Changer. The quadrants are based on the organisation’s AI adoption and digital resilience maturity levels. This allows organisations to assess their AI and digital resilience readiness and calibrate key developmental steps as they move down the AI pathway.
NCS also introduced Polaris DR, a solution for organisations to assess their digital resilience across five key areas – cybersecurity, data governance, infrastructure scalability, application robustness and operational responsiveness. Leveraging NCS’s expertise in large-scale implementations and operations, Polaris DR will enable organisations to lay the foundation needed for enterprise-wide growth and AI adoption by providing a customised improvement plan to address vulnerabilities in systems, technology infrastructure and IT operations.
To empower clients to deploy AI more securely and efficiently, NCS has also announced five innovative and repeatable industry business solutions embedded with NCS AI accelerators. The solutions are both standardised and customisable, enabling organisations to accelerate AI deployments in three key areas – customer/citizen experience, workforce productivity, and software engineering while ensuring consistency and scalability.
Separately, NCS announced several strategic partnerships with industry leaders to further facilitate AI adoption and digital resilience. NCS is partnering with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch its inaugural Generative AI Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Public Good with AWS’s Generative AI Innovation Centre (GAIIC). Customised for the APAC public sector, the CoE will leverage AWS’s team of strategists, applied scientists, engineers, and solutions architects through the GAIIC’s Partner Innovation Alliance programme to envision, scope, and accelerate public sector solutions using AWS. The collaboration combines NCS’ end-to-end capabilities and industry experience with AWS’s Generative AI services and global expertise.
NCS is also collaborating with Dell Technologies to leverage Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA to further accelerate adoption of Generative AI solutions by enterprises in the region. With their combined expertise in Generative AI and breadth of industry experience, NCS and Dell say the partnership will simplify clients’ AI adoption journeys and improve proof of concept efforts. This collaboration allows clients to explore customised and pre-validated solutions to turbocharge their Generative AI projects in a modular manner.
