Building a Digital Future: A Transformational Blueprint for Innovating with Microsoft Dynamics 365

by Lipi Sarkar Vinnie Bansal

2020 has been a challenging year worldwide for many businesses and we have not come out of that phase entirely in 2021.At the same time, we witnessed the acceleration of Cloud led Digital Transformation, changing the ways we work, communicate, collaborate, and share our workspace and creating a globally accepted new normal. More than ever before, senior management and leadership teams need to identify a rigorous approach, drive competitive advantage for their business, create value addition, and become more effective in this work from home, zoom-based collaboration and still achieve our business metrics, which have also naturally evolved due to the global pandemic. Effective disruption is dependent on fast universal adoption, then only it will be real and the transformation will be effective. Understanding the key drivers of change, leveraging the powerful capabilities from technologies with a collaborative platform can aid an organization to prepare for digital transformation. Building a Digital Future provides a clearly defined roadmap for executing this change. Based on their industry experience of leading and implementing digital transformation globally, authors Lipi Sarkar and Vinnie Bansal distil proven ideas, creating a blueprint of powerful and workable frameworks for executing a successful digital transformation with Dynamics 365 and accelerating businesses during a global pandemic. Each chapter of the book is curated with best practices, real life examples, pitfalls to avoid, and salient points to remember. This book enables organizations to truly embrace the benefits of digital transformation by anchoring Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform at the core of their business. The frameworks, examples and customer stories in the book revolves around how it drives faster disruption, enhances customer experiences, empowers overworked business users. The real-life customer stories across various sectors and countries (namely Virgin Atlantic, Etihad Airways, G&J Pepsi-Cola Bottlers, Breville, Heathrow Airport, Hickory Farms, Ste Michelle Wines and many more) brings an idea of key business challenges and the solutions implemented to address them. Building a Digital Future is written for C-suite stakeholders, senior management, Programme Directors or Managers, Implementation Consultants, and Business Managers who are considering a Digital Transformation to improve efficiencies across the business of finance and operation, supply chain, retail, and customer relationship management--sales, marketing, or services. This book covers Digital Transformation with the powerful technology platform Microsoft Dynamics 365 which offers process capabilities across all business areas, provides powerful tools to automate time-consuming tasks, and drives innovation and improvements through an evergreen system post implementation. The concepts of digital transformation are laid out and take you through a step-by-step transformation journey, highlighting any pitfall that you need to be aware of. Many Dynamics 365 books offer advice for implementation or mastering the system, but Building a Digital Future is the first complete playbook of how businesses can transform to thrive in the digital age. Building a Digital Future is the must-have guide to help your Dynamics 365 program.

Everyone knows that programming plays a vital role as a solution to automate and execute a task in a proper manner. Irrespective of mathematical problems, the skills of programming are necessary to solve any type of problems that may be correlated to solve real life problems efficiently and effectively. This book is intended to flow from the basic concepts of C++ to technicalities of the programming language, its approach and debugging. The chapters of the book flow with the formulation of the problem, it’s designing, finding the step-by-step solution procedure along with its compilation, debugging and execution with the output. Keeping in mind the learner’s sentiments and requirements, the exemplary programs are narrated with a simple approach so that it can lead to creation of good programs that not only executes properly to give the output, but also enables the learners to incorporate programming skills in them. The style of writing a program using a programming language is also emphasized by introducing the inclusion of comments wherever necessary to encourage writing more readable and well commented programs. As practice makes perfect, each chapter is also enriched with practice exercise questions so as to build the confidence of writing the programs for learners. The book is a complete and all-inclusive handbook of C++ that covers all that a learner as a beginner would expect, as well as complete enough to go ahead with advanced programming. This book will provide a fundamental idea about the concepts of data structures and associated algorithms. By going through the book, the reader will be able to understand about the different types of algorithms and at which situation and what type of algorithms will be applicable.

Artificial Intelligence for Renewable Energy Systems (Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing for Industrial Transformation)

by Ajay Kumar Vyas S. Balamurugan Kamal Kant Hiran Harsh S. Dhiman

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS Renewable energy systems, including solar, wind, biodiesel, hybrid energy, and other relevant types, have numerous advantages compared to their conventional counterparts. This book presents the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques for renewable energy system modeling, forecasting, and optimization for efficient system design. Due to the importance of renewable energy in today’s world, this book was designed to enhance the reader’s knowledge based on current developments in the field. For instance, the extraction and selection of machine learning algorithms for renewable energy systems, forecasting of wind and solar radiation are featured in the book. Also highlighted are intelligent data, renewable energy informatics systems based on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA); and intelligent condition monitoring of solar and wind energy systems. Moreover, an AI-based system for real-time decision-making for renewable energy systems is presented; and also demonstrated is the prediction of energy consumption in green buildings using machine learning. The chapter authors also provide both experimental and real datasets with great potential in the renewable energy sector, which apply machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms that will be helpful for economic and environmental forecasting of the renewable energy business. Audience The primary target audience includes research scholars, industry engineers, and graduate students working in renewable energy, electrical engineering, machine learning, information & communication technology.
