Emerging Technologies: Augmented Reality (AR)

Image
Using the object recognition feature of Augmented Reality (AR) devices, it is called superimposing of virtual objects on real images. To use this technology, you must have internet access in your environment and smart devices such as smart glasses, smartphones or tablets that will define the augmented reality. In addition, one of the applications defined on Augmented Reality must be installed on this device. After these conditions are fulfilled, when you define the image designed for Augmented Reality with the application on your device, your device detects the image and you encounter a new image.  It is seen that the augmented reality technology is based on military technology, just like many technologies. The emergence of this technology is HUD (Head Up Display) technology. This technology was started to be used on the HUD screens opposite the fighter jet pilots in the cockpit and with the glasses integrated into the helmets used by the soldiers. Some informative data like speed,...

Data Storage For Businesses

Image
Our data has migrated online in tandem with our work lives. Like the personal data on our own computers, the information we need to operate our companies and understand our customers is available everywhere and at any time. Remote work, collaboration among globally dispersed teams, app integration, and a more reliable backup that isn't reliant on physical storage have all been made possible by cloud data. (Fuggle, no date) What is it? Cloud data storage is a cloud computing model in which data is stored on the Internet and managed and operated by a cloud computing company. It's on-demand, with just-in-time space and prices, and it saves you money by not having to purchase and manage your own data storage infrastructure. With “anytime, anywhere” data access, you gain mobility, global scope, and durability. (What is Cloud Storage? | AWS, no date)   Some of the best companies providing data storage solutions – 1.

Data Governance

Image
Data Governance, more identified with the GDPR both in the world and in Ireland, is more than that. People have started having difficulties in managing even the personal data on their phone or computer. Things are get complicated when you consider the management, security, and backup of the data of all information systems such as customers, suppliers, vendors, partners, brands, products, services and assets that company employees work with. Another dimension of data has become more important as a result of the sanctions imposed with the personal data protection law and data security laws, which are enacted all over the world, including our country. With this importance, data management and data governance departments and data governance consultancy companies were established in many companies. For this reason, data management experts and data governance are needed. The lexical meaning of governance means multilateral direction and management as a business, as well as managing joi...

Knowledge Management and its importance for IoT

Image
  What is Knowledge management? Knowledge management refers to a series of structured and disciplined steps that a company should take to get the most benefit out of the knowledge it has on hand. In this sense, "knowledge" refers to both the people's experience and understanding as well as the information artifacts, such as records and studies, that are accessible both within the organization and in the outside world. In certain situations, effective knowledge management necessitates a combination of organizational, social, and managerial interventions, as well as the implementation of appropriate technology. (Marwick, 2001) Knowledge Accessibility:   There's the issue of knowledge access. Accessibility is divided into two groups by Nonaka and Takeuchi: tacit and explicit. Yet, according to several texts, there are three levels of accessibility: tacit, implicit, and explicit. Storage media can be mapped to accessibility. As knowledge becomes more available and fo...

Emerging Technologies: FinTech.

Image
History   FinTech started to evolve in the 1990s when the Internet and E-commerce market models emerged, and by the following years, most banking had been entirely digitalised. After the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, where many people lost trust in conventional banks, security and transparency had been more critical than ever. This change in perspective enabled the development of new customised solutions and regular practices, such as providing access to banking profiles, billing, and money transfer in converted currencies. (FinTech Weekly, 2021)   Definition   The word FinTech has been used in a variety of sectors worldwide, sometimes in unpredictable and vague ways. So far, no effort has been made a shared understanding of the term FinTech. (Schueffel, 2016) Nowadays, researching FinTech definition is challenging itself as there is no standard description of what FinTech is and what essential innovations the word includes. (Marck A, et al., 2019). However, many autho...
