The Challenge
Before employing the help of Olivia, creating meaningful relationships with candidates meant Talent Acquisition Specialists would often spend hours answering candidate questions and coordinating with them over the phone. The problem for the Talent Team was always, “How can we provide a personalized candidate experience without sacrificing recruitment efficiency?” Rebecca Hicks, Talent Acquisition Specialist at DFCU Financial, found the antidote for their recruitment inefficiency after reading an article around AI in talent acquisition, mobile, and text recruiting. Realizing the impact this technology could have on her company, AI recruiting assistant, Olivia, was put to the test.
About The Customer
As one of the largest credit unions in Michigan, DFCU Financial serves thousands of families and businesses across the state. Since 1950, DFCU Financial has provided personalized services, financial expertise, and strong relationships for their clients and employees. Consistently ranked as one of Michigan’s Top Places to Work, DFCU has been recognized by their peers for their commitment to candidates and employees. For the Talent Team, this commitment starts by providing a quality experience that candidates remember. In 2017, DFCU Financial hired AI recruiting assistant, Olivia, to help propel their candidate experience to the next level.
The Solution
Talent Acquisition Specialists at DFCU Financial are busy, their hiring managers are busy, and their candidates are busy. Packed schedules make finding an interview time that works for everyone a puzzling task. Finding a scheduling tool that’s easy to use and increases efficiency was paramount to DFCU Financial’s ability for hiring success. Hicks notes; “Olivia is smart enough to recognize other meetings on my calendar and doesn’t offer those as available time slots for candidate interviews. And if we need to cancel or reschedule an interview, we can do so with the click of a button.” As time goes on, Rebecca and the team plan to continue rolling out Olivia’s scheduling ability to more and more hiring managers. By leveraging text recruiting and automatic scheduling, DFCU Financial has drastically reduced the time it takes to hire qualified candidates. Since implementation, the extra hours saved has allowed Rebecca to focus on making the experience better for her candidates. Even though Rebecca and her hiring managers are constantly filling positions and hiring new talent, they’ve dedicated time to reevaluate their recruitment process. One of the many changes that have been made in the process is how the team documents a candidate’s aptitude. Instead of taking notes on sheets of paper during screening or interviews, the team has gone paperless by using Olivia’s notes tab to make comments and recommendations on candidates. These notes are then imported into their applicant tracking system so hiring managers can view the status and comments about their candidates.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

MasterCard Improves Customer Experience Through Self-Service Data Prep
Derek Madison, Leader of Business Financial Support at MasterCard, oversees the validation of transactions and cash between two systems, whether they’re MasterCard owned or not. He was charged with identifying new ways to increase efficiency and improve MasterCard processes. At the outset, the 13-person team had to manually reconcile system interfaces using reports that resided on the company’s mainframe. Their first order of business each day was to print 20-30 individual, multi-page reports. Using a ruler to keep their place within each report, they would then hand-key the relevant data, line by line, into Excel for validation. “We’re talking about a task that took 40-80 hours each week,” recalls Madison, “As a growing company with rapidly expanding product offerings, we had to find a better way to prepare this data for analysis.”
