AgileBlue’s Sapphire AI assistant is currently available to all customers. Granite Telecommunications Granite’s client needed to activate 6,000 devices in just three months. In response, Granite created Greenix – an AI-driven, low-code orchestration platform, which enabled the client to activate more than 125 devices per day and meet its goal. Greenix is a low-code platform that enables Granite solutions engineers or project managers to build their own business process workflows without coding. These workflows include all steps in a process, such as an install, as well as contingencies for things that might go wrong and how to test/ fix them. Field technicians can access Greenix workflows from their phones or computers to walk through the steps live on-site, including viewing photos of the gear and the correct connection ports. It also runs tests to ensure the configuration is working and, if not, suggests remediation steps.
