Over the years, IT has become an integral component in most organizations. It aids in the integration of global e-commerce, global distribution networks, and other critical business processes. The effective implementation of IT in an organization requires high levels of flexibility, cost efficiency, and performance across its IT infrastructure. Traditional non-converged IT infrastructure cannot efficiently meet the storage requirements of organizational data and rapid application deployments. However, converged infrastructure can overcome these drawbacks by central management of an organization's network, computation, storage, visualization, and applications.

HEVs combine two energy sources, mechanical (ICE) and electrical, to achieve better fuel economy and performance. These vehicles have a smaller gasoline engine than traditional vehicles. They use efficient technologies such as regenerative braking that charges the battery by converting kinetic energy into electric energy. Many HEVs have start-stop systems that shutdown the ICE when the vehicle is idle and restarts it whenever needed, thereby reducing idle emissions.

Similar to a mechanical water meter, a smart water meter is connected to a data logger that continuously monitors a building's or home's water consumption. However, whereas traditional water meters only measure total consumption, smart water meters are Internet-capable devices that record when and how much water is being used, providing real-time information that enables companies and individual consumers to understand and monitor their water consumption. Smart water meters help water utilities, in particular, to manage their water networks more efficiently and provide better customer service, chiefly by allowing them to accurately determine water consumption at peak periods. For instance, washing machines create pulses when in use, which are logged by a data logger in a predefined frequency. User-defined parameters, such as flow rate, time, and volume, disaggregate the information provided by these pulses and assign them to different water-use "events." These events are then retrieved by the smart water meter, so that water consumption or wastage can be measured and controlled. Smart water meter information can be represented as exhibited below:

Insurance is a financial instrument, it is a contract that involves two parties: the insurer and the insured. Based on the contract policies and conditions, the insured pays a premium to cover the specified asset or life. The life insurance policy is a contract between the insurer and the insured, under which the premiums are received, and the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money based on the conditions in the policy. The insurance market in India is an established one. Digitization of insurance is expected to increase the penetration rate of life insurance policies because of wider availability of technologically advanced products online. Insurance policies are broadly classified as traditional and ULIPs. The improvements in internet infrastructure and the rising cost of insurance policies are major factors that pave the way for online life insurance. With public entities such as LIC entering the online insurance market, the credibility of policies purchased online is strengthened, thereby leading to higher enrollment for online policies. As a result, there has been an increase in activities pertaining to sales as well as renewal of insurance policies via the online medium. Policyholders who purchased policies in a traditional manner are also using the online method for renewals and paying premiums.

Osteoporosis, or porous bones, is characterized by low bone density and structural deterioration of bone tissues, which lead to bone fragility and increase the risk of fractures. The disease develops when bone resorption occurs too quickly or when replacement happens too slowly. Gender, age, body size (low body weight), ethnicity, and family history can increase the risk of developing this disease. Medication use, calcium and vitamin intake, alcohol intake, and smoking are other major risk factors.

In the past, WFM was handled using spreadsheets and time recording, which are time-consuming, lead to non-productive idle times and poor customer service, and incur high operational costs. Currently businesses are using WFM software, which helps manage workforce scheduling, increase operational performance, and identify and solve workforce-related issues in less time. WFM solutions can be deployed across organizations and are beneficial to all types of businesses, as they ensure optimal utilization of resources.
