At the recent Northumbrian Water #InnovationFestival21, we were excited to sponsor a sprint spanning 3 days where innovators from across the industry joined heads to uncover the common problems faced by utilities. They collaborated to explore how the core components of smart video + AI can accelerate productivity, reduce costs and better us towards sustainability.

Here’s what some of our customers had to say about their experiences with Vyn SmartVideoNotes:

“This is going to be the future - it will replace a lot of technology in use today.”

  Today was a day for inspiration. To facilitate this we invited a variety of speakers to share their perspectives. First up was Ramani Hariharan (Head of New Business Factory at Engie) with a session on how important innovation is to our daily work-lives and how we can improve adoption by leading behavioural and cultural changes across the organisation. He explained that innovation is a marathon and not a sprint as some might expect. You won’t see it bringing in money from the offset, but only once it has been welcomed well into the family.

After lunch, we heard from Mayank Sharma (Chief Data Officer at Vyn) who drilled home the point about obtaining quality data by asking the right questions. Then we let our imaginations run wild to see where AI could take us - helping the business, customers or colleagues.

By the end, we had built the foundations for a really strong toolkit with which to sensibly bring innovation into the workplace - how to approach implementation, getting the right stakeholders on board and ideas around onboarding and upskilling options.

If you’re interested in collaborating with us to drive sustainable innovation and harness the power of Smart Video & AI within your organization, your journey can start here.

If you are a Vyn customer or Vyn user, we welcome you to join the community. If you are not one (yet), let’s change that.
