Vision Enabled MedTech for Improved Patient Care May 25, 2021

Show notes

From timely patient diagnostics, proper treatment to reliable recovery, vision can play a critical role in enhancing patient care, which requires reliable, compatible, cost-effective, energy-efficient, and high-performing vision technology solutions. Whether it is diagnostic imaging, medical carts, or pill dispensers, embedded vision can change the game. However, due to inadequate knowledge in camera technology, lack of technical and engineering expertise, supply chain fragmentation, and improper device support, medical device companies struggle to incorporate vision in their products timely and confidently. Starting from defining a vision playbook to establishing camera integration standards, how can we shape this much-needed, rapidly growing vision ecosystem to drive the best outcomes for the patients, providers, and medical device companies?

Can Sovos enable IT to streamline sales tax controls and future-proof your tax compliance? Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

The often shifting sales tax rules and regulations in over 14,000 state and local tax jurisdictions in the USA make sales tax compliance management a daunting task. Supporting ongoing manual changes to 3rd party on-premise business applications increases the burden on IT teams already juggling multiple priorities. Sovos claims its technology solution eliminates this burden on IT and grants the tax and finance departments complete autonomy to handle indirect tax processes, timely and valid sales and use tax self-assessments, accurate reporting, and exemption certification across jurisdictions. Is this claim too good to be true? Can the Sovos solution hold up to scrutiny and deliver on the sales taxation agility promise?
