National Grid: A data story driven by innovation

Transformational success with technology is about more than just ‘keeping the lights on’. Our cover story this month spotlights National Grid with the story of an innovation programme empowering everyone across the organisation on a shared transformation journey. Global Head of Data Strategy, Andrew Burns, tells Interface how connections like these are driven by data.

“We have new energy sources, greater demand and an opportunity to gather more data than ever before. Technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) are revolutionising how we use that data. Today, data and these technologies are combining to increase our ability to deliver value to our customers, and society.”

Asian Hospital and Medical Center: Leading the technology revolution in healthcare

Asian Hospital and Medical Center, one of the largest and fastest growing premiere hospitals among the close to 30 hospitals in the Metro Pacific Health Group, is the pioneer of an integrated healthcare network in the Philippines. Frank Vibar, CITO at Asian Hospital and the former Group CIO of the MPH Group, reveals the IT strategic roadmap that will deliver a true regional hospital.

“AHMC’s vision is to become the centre of global expertise in caring for the unique needs of our patients and the communities we serve.”
