Salesforce launches new low-code app building tools

Salesforce is introducing a set of new low-code tools to help just about anyone in a business build mobile apps quickly and easily. Specifically, the Lightning Object Creator is a new service that helps employees convert spreadsheets into apps. Another tool, the Lightning Flow Builder, helps users create automated business processes.
The tools, Salesforce says, are designed for organizations that want to build sleek apps that meet high consumer expectations but don't necessarily have the developers on staff to do so. Indeed, finding workers with software and IT expertise can be a challenge.
"Building apps is a keystone for any business in the pursuit of digital transformation," Anne DelSanto, GM of the Salesforce Lightning Platform, said in a release.
With Lightning Object Creator, employees can create apps that effectively replace paper forms by uploading a spreadsheet into the Object Creator on the Salesforce platform. A car salesman, for example, could use it to replace the standard form for customers taking test drives. Once the form has been created on the platform and the data is imported, a user can further analyze the data or add it to existing records.
Meanwhile, the Lightning Flow Builder helps an employee build automated processes with pre-built, reusable components called Flow Actions. The Flow Actions are built for specific industries and use cases. They enable an employee to add steps to a process such as accepting credit card payments or adding a video player. Admins using the tool can leverage Salesforce's Einstein Next Best Action provide sales, service and marketing personnel with intelligent, contextual recommendations for customers.
In addition to rolling out these new tools, Salesforce announced updates to AppExchange, its enterprise marketplace, including intelligent recommendations and a new category for Flow Solutions.

Everything you should know about the coronavirus: COVID-19

  What are coronaviruses? SARS-CoV-2 belongs to a family of single-stranded RNA viruses known as coronaviridae, a common type of virus which affects mammals, birds and reptiles. In humans, it commonly causes mild infections, similar to the common cold, and accounts for 10–30% of upper respiratory tract infections in adults. More serious infections are rare, although coronaviruses can cause enteric and neurological disease. The incubation period of a coronavirus varies but is generally up to two weeks. Previous coronavirus outbreaks include  Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS ), first reported in Saudi Arabia in September 2012, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), identified in southern China in 2003. MERS infected around 2,500 people and led to more than 850 deaths while SARS infected more than 8,000 people and resulted in nearly 800 deaths. The case fatality rates for these conditions were 35% and 10%, respectively. SARS-CoV-2 is a new strain of co...

The First Step Towards Responsible AI Needs To Be About People Not Strategy!

Article By Charles Radclyffe:  I was recently consulting for an organisation that was looking to implement a framework to govern the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)  technologies. Like many organisations in their sector, they had been running various ‘lab’ experiments for some time, and had seen positive results; but there was still something holding them back from wholesale investment. A major consulting firm had encouraged them to ‘accelerate’ their innovation by using a framework to govern the roll-out. I asked them where they felt it needed more focus, and they responded saying that it felt somewhat vanilla, a re-hashing of any-old IT project management best practice. “Surely there is something different about AI”, they asked? I couldn’t agree more. There is no magic to AI. Today’s AI is a collection of methodologies that apply extreme reductionism to Big Data in order to elicit patterns, calculate probabilities or make predictions. Wha...
