For ANBites around the world, the new year has started with new energy at Energize 2023. Energize is the annual internal virtual conference where successes from the previous year and plans for the next year are shared. The conference features internal leaders and external experts whose talks are Deep Dives or Lightning Talks that cover a variety of topics useful to ANB Systems. The topic of Energize 2023 is “Paving the way towards Zero-touch Automation.”
The keynote speaker was the CEO, Balakrishnan [1]. He highlighted successes in delivering client satisfaction in 2022. Going forward, he believes the path to success is through process automation and that there is no place for repetitive tasks. He encouraged all ANBites to have “The passion for doing something great every day.” The next speaker reviewed successes from 2022, highlighting ANB’s People, Processes, and Products. On the people front, last year, ANB increased its headcount by almost 40% that includes both Freshers and Seasoned Professionals. The Road Ahead for 2023 continues to focus on people and simplifying ANB’s products from both a user and a development standpoint. The following speaker addressed the global clean energy transition[2] underway, its status in the United States and the business opportunities ahead. Speakers also addressed roadmaps for eTRACK+ and Acumen products that focus on continual improvement and expansion of the products.
The excitement and energy will continue tomorrow as speakers will cover Artificial Intelligence [3] and the future of software engineering. Over the next six days, ANBites will be learning and sharing new knowledge on advancing the role of automation in ANB’s products and processes. It is indeed an exciting time for ANB Systems.
