Global AI in CRM Market to Reach $123.28 Billion by 2024 with 40.19% CAGR

A report from Zion Market Research projects that the global AI in customer-relationship management (CRM) will reach $123.28 billion USD by 2024 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.19 percent in the forecast period 2018-2024. An excerpt from the report analysis reads:

The growth of AI in CRM is mainly attributed to increasing focus on customer engagement paired with developing customer-centric approach amongst the service providers. Additionally, increasing demand from small- and medium-sized enterprises are predicted to contribute to the growth of this market significantly in the near future. However, a limited number of AI experts in the market may hinder the market growth in the near future. Even so, solutions for business specific problems paired with increasing investment by the market participants are expected to create massive opportunities in the forecast period.

#MachineLearning News: VSBLTY Introduces Edge Software That Increases Speed & Precision; Reduces Cost Of Computer Processing

PHILADELPHIA - February 12, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) VSBLTY, a leading retail software and technology company that provides audience measurement using the power of machine learning through computer vision, today announced the introduction of its new Edge Software that increases speed and precision while reducing the cost of computer processing.

Watch New VSBLTY Edge Software video

Jay Hutton, VSBLTY Chief Executive Officer, says the firm's Edge computing enables all its computer vision services to eliminate the need to send information to the cloud via the internet or a network, bringing all the processing and the complexities of machine learning down to the level of an on-site computer. "This means that we process data quicker on the Edge, with incredible scale and with greater precision—and it is more cost efficient," Hutton adds.

VSBLTY utilizes Intel's OpenVINO™ platform as a tool kit to run VSBLTY's machine learning algorithms on the edge, says Chief Technology Officer Tim Huckaby. "Intel's OpenVINO system allows us to hot swap in machine learning models without reprogramming. For example, we may have a retail project where we are recognizing different brands of consumer products and just as easily—on the security side—identify various kinds of weapons in real time at the same time," Huckaby explains.

Huckaby adds, "Utilizing the advantages of our Edge computing, VSBLTY is able to seamlessly combine its software with optics to deliver cutting-edge digital display, real time data at point of engagement, and provide security and surveillance applications. I know of no other company that can do this."

"We are delighted that VSBLTY has creatively adopted our OpenVINO program that runs on machine learning algorithms to its new Edge software that enables the firm to advance the increasingly important blending of consumer marketing and cutting edge security," said Joe Jensen, vice president and general manager of the Retail Solutions Division of Intel Corporation.

President Trump Signs Executive Order For "American AI Initiative"

The Associated Press reports that President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday, encouraging greater investment, research and development in artificial intelligence technology. Known as the American AI Initiative, the order did not include specific allocations of funds to the sector, leaving it up to Congress to direct money.

Though the U.S. currently leads the world in terms of AI innovation, the White House has received pressure from experts and industry leaders to develop a national AI strategy as other countries, such as China, ramp up state investment in the technology.

The piece quotes Kate Crawford, a co-director of New York University's AI Now Institute, who spoke critically of the vagueness of the Initiative:

"AI policy isn't an autonomous vehicle. You basically need a detailed plan or it's going to run off the road."

VSBLTY Introduces Edge Software, Amazon to Acquire eero and Wipro Sets Up AI Chair At Swinburne University in Melbourne

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:INTC) (NasdaqGS:AMZN) (NYSE:WIT)

VSBLTY, a leading retail software and technology company that provides audience measurement using the power of machine learning through computer vision, has announced the introduction of its new Edge Software, which increases speed and precision while reducing the cost of computer processing. This video explains the technology.

VSBLTY CTO Tim Huckaby explained how the company utilizes Intel's (NasdaqGS:INTC) OpenVINO™ platform to run VSBLTY's machine learning algorithms on the edge:

"Intel's OpenVINO system allows us to hot swap in machine learning models without reprogramming. For example, we may have a retail project where we are recognizing different brands of consumer products and just as easily-on the security side-identify various kinds of weapons in real time at the same time."

Amazon (NasdaqGS:AMZN) has announced that it will acquire home mesh WiFi company eero. According to the press release, "eero uses multiple access points that work together as a system to blanket a home in high-performing, reliable, and simple home WiFi. Customers can customize an eero system to meet the needs of their home-regardless of shape or size-eliminating dead zones, ensuring perfect streaming video in every room, and delivering the bandwidth all connected devices need". Dave Limp, SVP of Amazon Devices and Services, said:

"We are incredibly impressed with the eero team and how quickly they invented a WiFi solution that makes connected devices just work. We have a shared vision that the smart home experience can get even easier, and we're committed to continue innovating on behalf of customers."

Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT) recently announced they had set up a Chair for Artificial Intelligence at the Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia. The current Director of Swinburne's Key Lab for Intelligent Software Systems, and the head of Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology research group at Swinburne, Professor Ryszard Kowalczyk, has been appointed to the newly created position. This compliments a plan between Wipro and Swinburne University to establish a "joint innovation centre to conduct high-impact, industry-focussed research in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) with specific applications for digital health and smart cities".

SoundView Technology Group Research Update for NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: $NXTD); Transitioning Into 2019

BOSTON - February 12, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SoundView Technology Group (http://soundview.co) releases the following company update for NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD).

Nxt-ID (NXTD $1.18)

The full report can be read at:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/PUBLISHED/NXT-ID_NXTD_SV_Note_FEB_2019.pdf

Highlights/Excerpts

Transitioning into 2019

Shares in NXTD were down sharply in Q4 of 2018, along with most stocks in the market. However, they were also hurt by the delay of their proposed spinoff of "PartX" to existing shareholders. One thing we got in the delay was a clear market signal about how much people feel that PartX would be worth as a separate company. When combined with the existing Logic Mark business it suggests the shares continue to trade at a discount.

As shown in our FPV model our current estimate for where shares of NXTD should trade is $3.69 versus the current $1.20. The market suggested a value for PartX at $15M based on the price action of NXTD trading with and without the spinoff last year. And since that time PartX has announced a new customer, Swatch, continued to expand their relationship with Garmin and will be shipping the Flip in Q1.

It was also announced that Discover is now live on the FitPay Platform. That brings the FitPay ecosystem to 15 devices from two leading brands, four large-scale payment networks (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and Maestro), and more than 275 banks/payment cards in 35 countries.

Let's do some simple back-of-the-envelope valuation on NXTD. We'll give PartX a bump from the last market-based estimate of $15M and say they will be at least $20M when they spin off in 2019. That will leave NXTD with the core Logic Mark (LM) business which has been a steady growth, high-margin business since they acquired it.

Our point estimate for LM revenues is $22M. This business generates 70%+ gross margins and is solidly profitable. While initial operating margins in 2019 might be closer to 10%, but this is a 20%+ operating margin business.

What value do we put on a $22M business growing 10-15% YoY with 10-20% operating margins? A solid starting point is 15x on 15% operating margins = $22M x 15% x 15 or $50M.

And that's not factoring in any incremental success from new LM initiatives - especially the combination of their new Notifi911 consumer offering with expanded distribution at retailers like Best Buy. There are expanding opportunities for wearable solutions like Notifi911 in healthcare, employee safety and making emergency response more effective and efficient.

That provides what we'd call a "base" valuation case of at least $70M and that's not factoring in the potential for real growth in 2020. That would translate into a current share price of $2.20. If we include simple trendline growth for the next year we get to $85-90M for the combined company or about $3.00/share.

Stock Conclusion

The stock action late in 2018 and into 2019 puts a market-driven valuation on PartX which should be even higher in early 2019 based on the additional progress they have announced.

Logic Mark is a positive "known quantity" that we can value on the fundamentals. Current stock levels should be between $2.20 and $3.00/share in the next six to 12 months.
