IBM and Pipefy Team to Accelerate Customer Digital Transformation

Pipefy, a startup of codeless business process solutions, will be part of the open innovation program IBM Open Ventures. With this, the company will be able to accelerate its clients’ digitization projects on an agile and no-code platform, with support, technologies and industry knowledge from IBM.

• Digital transformation has accelerated and brought new demands.

The IBM Open Ventures program works on the commercial and technical fronts. On the commercial side, it seeks to give visibility to participating companies. On the technical side, it accompanies startups, products and technical experts on the journey to the hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence. As a participant in the initiative, Pipefy will have access to new customers and more than 1,024 APIs in the cloud, in addition to services from IBM Watson, blockchain and the Internet of Things.

Marcelo Salim, leader of IBM Open Ventures, said: “Working with Pipefy increases our reach and allows us to bring innovations like no-code to our customers.”

Pipefy will apply its platform as a no-code business orchestration layer that connects Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and IBM Watson. The goal is to help customers visualize their end-to-end processes. Pipefy’s platform will be hosted on IBM’s public cloud.

For Alessio Alionço, founder and CEO of Pipefy, companies have realized the importance of investing in technologies to increase productivity. “We offer multiple solutions with fast and flexible implementation that allow teams to move faster. The partnership with IBM will allow us to bring agile and modern solutions to companies from different sectors.”

Automation solutions

Created in 2015, Pipefy offers solutions that allow organizations to create automated workflows. Since then, the company has turned the tool into a no-code platform for business orchestration and helps teams visualize and connect critical processes.

With intelligent automation, organizations can optimize the delivery of goods and services and provide continuity in dynamic markets. A study carried out with CEOs around the world indicates that Brazilian executives view automation as a technology that will benefit companies in the next 2–3 years.

A mystery romantic, who pinned an open love-letter to the wall of the Hydro Hotel in Lisdoonvarna, says he is prepared to stay at the famous matchmaking festival until he meets the woman of his dreams. The man, who does not wish to be identified, stuck the note to the wall of hotel lobby last week offering one lucky lady in her 60’s the ‘opportunity of a lifetime’. He is looking for an active lady who is willing to commit to a lasting relationship including winter travel as well as sharing his nice home and car. The man, who comes from Loughglynn in Roscommon, has been living in the UK since he was 18 years of age but returned to Ireland in early September to find a partner. The man has three grown sons and has been divorced for the past ten years, but is looking for a fresh start with an ‘honest and trustworthy’ woman.

I didn’t run in him [Willie Daly], to be honest I am trying to avoid him if I can. I want to take this matter into my own hand.

He came to Lisdoonvarna two weeks ago but has yet to meet with matchmaker, Willie Daly, instead he decided to take matters into his own hands by writing the love letter. “I am taking this very seriously. I put up the note about a week ago now. I haven’t spent too much time meeting people at the festival, so I thought that this would be a way of getting some kind of response. I am a retired Irish family man, who has lived in the United Kingdom since I was 18 years of age. I am originally from Roscommon, from the Woodlands of Loughglynn,” he said yesterday. “I have been divorced for the past ten years. The years are going by and my sell-by date is running out. I have family but I like my independence. I would like to have a companion, my best friend with me to share my time with and to take care of each other as we get older.” The man says that he prefers to manage his own romantic affairs and will not be contacting Lisdoonvarna matchmaker, Willie Daly, unless his own search come to nothing. He says he has already spoken to two interested people, but neither of them proved compatable. “I didn’t run in him [Willie Daly], to be honest I am trying to avoid him if I can. I want to take this matter into my own hand. We are coming into the last few weekend of the matchmaking festival and I am hoping that the crowd will be bigger and the cream of the crop will come to the surface,” he said. The man is looking for an unattached women in her 60’s who would be free to live with him in his UK home in the summer and travel with him during the winter. “This is a fantastic opportunity, I’m a straight, honest guy but that will have to work both ways. The person [who answers his call]would want to be serious and be prepared to make a commitment. I am a senior retired person an dI am looking for a woman who knows her own mind. I am looking for a woman to see that this offer is open and honest and sincere,” he said. “I’d like to send some time away in the winter in a warmer climate. It is good for my health and I like to do it. I would be looking for this person to travel with me in the winter and to live with me in the UK during the rest of the year. So it is important that the person is free from attachments, maybe a retired person.”

CLARE musicians are hoping to benefit from a new multi-million euro music education scheme co-funded by rock giants U2. A consultation meeting in relation to Music Networks Music Education Partnership Scheme is being organised by Clare Arts Office on Thursday, October 21, at 6pm in the Red Room, Glór, Ennis. The aim of the meeting is to enable those interested in applying for funding under this scheme to network with potential partners. The meeting will be introduced by Katie Verling, Director, Glór Irish Music Centre, and will be addressed by Professor Michéal O’Suilleabháin, representing Maoin Cheoil an Chláir. The funds will allow a national system of music education to be rolled out between 2010 and 2015.
