SAS to Invest $1 Billion in AI Over Next Three Years

Software and analytics leader SAS has committed to an investment of $1 billion in AI through software innovation, education and expert services over the next three years. SAS CEO Jim Goodnight commented:

"At SAS, we remain dedicated to our customers and their success, and this investment is another example of that commitment. With our innovative capabilities in AI, SAS helps businesses deter damaging fraud, fight deadly disease, better manage risk, provide exemplary service to customers and citizens, and much more."

An excerpt from the press release reads:

The $1 billion investment in AI will focus on three main areas: Research and Development (R&D) innovation where SAS continues to build on the success of its global AI efforts; education initiatives addressing customer needs to better understand and benefit from AI; and expert services to optimize customer return on AI projects.


IBM and AI in RegTech, Palo Alto’s Traps Designated as “In Process” and Xerox Signs Agreement With HCL Technologies
Stocks discussed: (NYSE:IBM) (NYSE:PANW) (NYSE:XRX) (NSE:HCLTECH)

IBM (NYSE:IBM) recently published an article examining AI in RegTech, where they identify the challenges and opportunities associated with the technology. In a recent webcast hosted by IBM Watson Financial Services, Peter Chirlian, CEO of IBM company Armanta, explained the state of challenges facing RegTech and what technological applications are required to address them:

“The sets of information that they’re working with, risk and regulatory, are getting much larger, they’re moving faster, the data’s getting more complex,” he said.

“It’s a challenge bringing technologies that can work with larger sets of data faster [and] answer more complex problems.”

The aforementioned article outlines how AI can remedy some of these challenges:

AI techniques like NLP will be applied throughout the entire workflow, significantly improving the speed and effectiveness of analysts. This “packaging” of AI capabilities will diminish the need for the wider risk and compliance group to have the advanced skills needed to use AI, though those skills will continue to be in high demand.

Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NYSE:PANW) has announced that its Traps endpoint protection and response product has been designated "In Process" for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). Traps provides endpoint security, stopping cyberattacks with network and cloud security. Nick Urick, vice president of Federal Sales for Palo Alto Networks and president of Palo Alto Networks Public Sector, LLC, said:

"We are thrilled to achieve the FedRAMP 'In Process' status for Traps and look forward to providing U.S. agencies with endpoint protection and response capabilities that leverage the power and scale of machine learning and AI to prevent sophisticated attacks. This milestone signifies that the U.S. public sector has confidence in the security and threat prevention capabilities of our cloud-based offering and demonstrates our commitment to protecting the U.S. federal government."

Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX) has signed a managed services agreement with India’s HCL Technologies (NSE:HCLTECH). C Vijayakumar, President and Chief Executive Officer, HCL Technologies, explained the agreement:

“This expanded partnership is a testament to the strong Xerox-HCL relationship that has grown through multiple collaborations over the past 10 years. This is a win-win agreement. Xerox will benefit from our global scale, best-in-class processes and investments in artificial intelligence, robotic process automation and transformation tools, and HCL will benefit from a long-term agreement to provide product support and administrative services to Xerox.”

IBM Watson Health Enters Agreement with Health Quest Systems, Nuance Security Suite Saved $1 Billion in Fraud in 2018 and Datametrex Provides Update for Pilot Program with Empower Clinics
Stocks discussed: (NYSE:IBM) (NasdaqGS:NUAN) (TSXV:DM) (CSE:EPW)

IBM Watson Health (NYSE:IBM) has entered an agreement with Health Quest Systems, Inc. to leverage AI with the aim of increasing participation in clinical trials. IBM Watson Health will deploy cognitive computing system Clinical Trial Matching, which helps clinicians and coordinators more easily and quickly identify trials and potentially eligible patients. Kyu Rhee, Vice President and Chief Health Officer, IBM Watson Health, commented:

"By integrating IBM Watson for Clinical Trial Matching, Health Quest aims to boost clinical trial enrollment and, by providing access to new, cutting-edge treatments, the health system can play a key role in advancing the science of oncology care."

Nuance Communications, Inc. (NasdaqGS:NUAN) has announced that its AI-powered biometrics-based Nuance Security Suite saved $1 billion in fraud costs in 2018. The fraud is detected and prevented through AI technologies including voice and behavioral biometrics, intelligent channel, geo and network detectors, which work together to flag potentially fraudulent patterns. Brett Beranek, General Manager, Security Business, Nuance Enterprise, said:

“Our customers come to us not only wanting to make their authentication process more convenient for customers but perhaps more importantly to evolve their contact center security strategy. Our approach is unique in that our algorithms can not only identify and validate individuals by their voice, but also understand what types of conversation patterns fraudsters typically use. That’s powerful when you consider how much money is lost due to fraudulent account access each year, whether through traditional phone channels or in complex cross-channel attacks.”

Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV:DM) has provided an update on its pilot program with Empower Clinics Inc. (CSE:EPW), through subsidiary Canntop AI Inc. According to the press release, the program aims “to develop a deeper understanding of patients’ awareness of cannabis-based treatment options and the ongoing effectiveness”. Empower CEO Steven McAuley said:

“We believe the outcomes of our AI efforts, if successful, could position the Company as an educational leader and we plan to collaborate with the industry to ultimately improve patient care. The powerful AI tools of Canntop are required to successfully analyze the substantial amounts of data in the Empower database and the additional data from the proposed acquisition of the Sun Valley Clinic group, that has a combined 165,000 patients.”

CannaMoney: #Cannabis #Payment Solutions Companies Ready for 2019 Sales; (NASDAQ: $NETE) (OTC: $GOHE) (CSE: $CNNA.C) (OTC: $REFG)

CannaMoney: #Cannabis #Payment Solutions Companies Ready for 2019 Sales; (NASDAQ: $NETE) (OTC: $GOHE) (CSE: $CNNA.C) (OTC: $REFG)





Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – March 21, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering  tech and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the continued growth of payment solutions in the cannabis industry and how participating companies are preparing for the future as regulations change.

A recent article from MarijuanaBreak.com, discussed the ups and downs of payment processing in the legal cannabis market and why payment solution alternatives are so necessary in this industry; “As of 2017 only around 300 of the 11,000 operational banks in the U.S. will comply with legal marijuana companies or vendors.” The article goes on to discuss the downsides caused by this lack of financial access, such as security (for cash only dispensaries), regulation issues (payment solutions companies unfamiliar with the legal landscape) and customer access (an inability to expand or increase online sales due to lack of accepted payment options).


This is where companies like Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE), a global technology and value-added solutions group that supports electronic payment acceptance in a multi-channel environment, including point-of-sale, come into play, having announced its entrance into the cannabis sector in October of last year. The company also recently announced that its subsidiary, Unified Payments is among the first companies to achieve self-regulatory certification from the Electronic Transactions Association.

Global Payout Inc. (OTC: GOHE), who through its subsidiary, provides electronic wallet and e-banking financial solutions for the marijuana industry, recently announced transactional data and revenue into Q1 of 2019 which highlights the continued growth, adaptation, and overall benefit to the one-of-kind MTrac Payment Solution.


As has been the trend since the current iteration of the MTrac system was deployed back in October, totals associated with daily and monthly sales and transactional volume along with the average ticket cost processed within the system continue to climb each month at what the Company perceives to be a very steady and encouraging pace, and the first quarter is seeing a continuation of this very positive trend.
Global Payout Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, MTrac Tech Corporation also announced that the US Patent and Trademark Office has federally registered its patented slogan, ‘The Key to Cashless®’ under Trademark Registration #5705041.

“This slogan represents our philosophical vision for the financial solutions our team is delivering to an industry in need,” said Vanessa Luna, MTrac CEO. “The cannabis industry has, in my opinion, been federally handcuffed by Schedule 1 classification, and all of the state-licensed cannabis businesses, who are doing everything correct from a regulatory compliance perspective to remain in good standing with its state and local governments, and who are creating jobs and generating tax revenue for the betterment of communities, have been effectively cut off from traditional banking services. These organizations have endured many challenges such as high security costs, managing financial expenditures, and all of the risks associated with cash-only or cash-heavy operations,” says Ms. Luna.

CannaOne Technologies (CSE: CNNA) is not only focused on the US, but on international cannabis markets as well, having announced that it has entered into a formal agreement with Manna Health Services SA de CV of Mexico City ("Manna"), to undertake the development, launch and operation of an industry leading online CBD product purchase and delivery marketplace for the Country of Mexico.

"BloomKit, our enterprise software solution, will give Manna the capability to offer a flagship and fully operational online CBD marketplace once Mexican regulations are finalized. For example, It will offer Manna the ability to inherently monitor and track pick-up and delivery logistics, and the capability to deliver historical and current trending analytics to ensure optimal management of all CBD sales channels. It will provide this all with the benefit of a simple and easy to use built in eCommerce solution."

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions Inc. (OTC: REFG), another leading provider of regulatory-compliant financial services for state-sanctioned marijuana, provided an update on its activities in 2018 and its 2019 strategic direction;

"We announced last September that we have launched our nationwide banking solution for state-sanctioned cannabis. We're happy to announce today that we have several dozen accounts open and over 120 applications in our queue," said Jeremy Roberts, the company's CEO. "Not only does this provide a revenue stream for the company, but we believe we are the only company currently providing banking services in all states with legalized cannabis."

"Our corporate mantra has always been compliance, security and accessibility. And we're currently hitting on each of those principles. With the commercialization of Go!, which represents our single most important milestone to-date, we are on the cusp of an entire new era of growth and expansion as cannabis as well as other industries begin to adopt our payment solution," continued Mr. Roberts.

Compliance, security and access will continue to be key factors affecting the cannabis industry and 2019 looks to be a promising year for payment solution companies aiming to put their products to the test in one of the fastest growing sectors.
