India is at a pivotal juncture in a rapidly advancing tech world. The nation’s economic, social, and political fabric is woven into cyberspace, manifesting a digital-centric existence. While this digital revolution opens a plethora of opportunities, it also exposes India to a host of vulnerabilities.

India has made significant strides, from widespread adoption of e-governance to the thriving e-commerce ecosystem. The “Digital India” campaign, a flagship government initiative, has played a pivotal role in this transformation.

26^th October, Hyderabad, India: Cigniti Technologies, the world's leading AI & IP-led Digital Assurance and Digital Engineering services company, is honored to receive the ISG Case Study Standout Award in the Education category for its AI/ML decision-making predictive model work for Adelphoi, a leading non-profit organization based in the US.

ISG Case Study Standouts—an evolution of the ISG Digital Case Study Awards program—recognize the best-in-class work of service providers in collaboration with enterprise clients. Companies worldwide submitted their case studies, which underwent validation by the client organization and ISG digital researchers, resulting in a selection based on a comprehensive analysis of the real-world effects of digital transformation on the client's business and the distinctiveness of the provider's solutions.

Adelphoi is a non-profit organization that provides outcome-based solutions for neglected, delinquent, abused, and other at-risk children and their families, combining treatment and mental health services. Cigniti's case study recognition for Adelphoi is for its AI/ML decision-making predictive model that leveraged historical data to recommend the most suitable treatment program for each child, enhancing overall care and minimizing the percentage of 'return to care.'

"The accelerated adoption of digital technologies and business models was strongly evident in the case studies we received this year," said Paul Reynolds, ISG partner and chief research officer. "The Cigniti Technologies case study with Adelphoi is a standout example of how AI/ML can be a differentiator to accelerate product development and attain first-mover advantage in a new and unexplored market."

Dallas, September 21, 2023 - Cigniti Technologies, the world's leading AI & IP-led Digital Assurance and Digital Engineering services company, has been recognized as a Leader in the Quality Engineering (QE) Specialist Services PEAK Matrix^® Assessment 2023 from Everest Group. This recognition marks a significant shift for Cigniti, which was previously positioned as a "Major Contender" for the past two years.

The report by Everest Group cites that in today’s dynamic business landscape, the enterprise technology landscape is rapidly evolving, and software products are taking center stage. The need for faster time-to-market has become imperative, driving frequent releases and the adoption of both shift-left and shift-right approaches. Quality Engineering (QE) now holds heightened importance as expectations for superior products soar. Providers are channeling investments into innovation and enhanced capabilities to support enterprises in their journey toward quality transformation. With such objectives, enterprises are looking to partner with providers that can understand their QE goals and suggest solutions that fit within their complex technology ecosystem and processes.

In today’s dynamic and demanding business landscape, quality assurance (QA) promises to deliver reliable products and services across industries. It’s the discipline that ensures that a product functions as intended, adheres to rigorous standards, and ultimately satisfies customers. However, the story does not end here. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), organizations find themselves at the cusp of a QA revolution —a transformation that promises to elevate QA processes to unprecedented levels of efficiency and excellence.

The Power of AI in QA
In the Gartner Achieve Business Agility With Automation, Continuous Quality, and DevOps Survey, 84% of respondents said that AI and machine learning (ML) features were more important than other features in software testing tools.

In an age defined by rapid technological advancement and digital transformation, the threat landscape of cybercrime continues to escalate, requiring organization and individuals to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses. With cybercriminals employing increasingly sophisticated techniques, the traditional approach to security is no longer sufficient. Generative AI has emerged as a powerful ally in fortifying cybersecurity and detecting fraudulent activities in response to this ever-evolving threat.

By harnessing machine learning capabilities and analyzing vast volumes of data, generative AI algorithms can identify patterns and anomalies that signal potential security breaches or fraudulent behaviors. Let’s delve into how generative AI empowers cybersecurity professionals to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals, safeguard sensitive information and protect digital assets.
