The Challenge
Fundesem Business School, a Spain-based institution with over 40 years of experience, faced a challenge in its growing student population, especially from abroad. The school needed to react faster and have key figures available on a daily basis to make decisions. The course of marketing campaigns was determined according to certain results indicators. Fundesem is figures-orientated and their entire business strategy is focused on this. They needed a tool that would provide them with turnover metrics within a day, rather than a week, which is what it used to take. The school wanted indicators to provide a performance evaluation by department as well as in line with the school’s overall strategy. From a strategic point of view, the challenge consisted in defining key indicators that would ensure that actions aligned with the school’s business strategy. And finally, Fundesem required a solution that was technically easy to use.

The Solution
Fundesem decided to implement the QlikView application as previously it had had no business intelligence (BI) strategy. QlikView is a BI platform that’s used all over the world, quick to deploy, easy to maintain and represents the kind of value for money the company was looking for. The first phase implementation began in 2008, carried out by Sistel, a QlikTech Ibérica partner. Since then, new applications have been developed by in-house staff, after attending training courses run by QlikTech Ibérica. So far, applications have been developed for the departments of Finance (budget and operating account control), Commercial (enrolment management), HR, and Marketing. The other areas of the business in which the application has been deployed include General Management, Finance, Sales (commercial and after-sales), Accounts (new enrolments, accounts receivable, postponed admissions), and Accounts Payable. The solution also covers Suppliers, Creditors and other expenses (with advertising - media breakdown - as the most relevant).

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
