'Higher education institutions must adapt to challenges and new opportunities.' – Steven Birdsall, Alteryx
This next phase of the partnership includes the launch of Accelerators: a collection of flexible, scalable solutions that include Evisions' flagship reporting solution, Argos, which leverages the powerful data blending capabilities of the Alteryx One platform.
Accelerators deliver use-case-driven dashboards and workflows, along with connectors to key higher education systems, allowing institutions to prepare, blend and visualize data from across campus and better understand the student journey, identify at-risk students earlier, and deliver more targeted support, empowering faculty and staff to act quickly and make a meaningful impact.
'Our collaboration with Alteryx underscores our commitment to innovation and delivering solutions that meet the unique information needs of higher education,' said Jim Farrell, Chief Solutions Officer at Evisions. 'By integrating with Alteryx, we are equipping institutions with the tools to seamlessly connect legacy systems with modern platforms, automate complex processes, and unlock actionable insights to support institutional success.'
Together, Evisions and Alteryx simplify data management and analytics workflows, addressing common data challenges faced by higher education institutions. Accelerators simplify access to insights by merging Student Information Systems (SIS), Learning Management Systems (LMS), and CRM data into unified, extensible dashboards.
With pre-built connectors and workflows, institutions can bypass months-long development and gain real-time visibility into enrollment, advising, and more. Role-specific dashboards give leaders, faculty, and staff the tools to intervene early, adjust strategies, and drive campus-wide impact.
'Higher education institutions must adapt to challenges and new opportunities,' said Steven Birdsall, Chief Revenue Officer at Alteryx. 'The ability to analyze and act on data is more critical than ever. Together with Evisions, we are enabling schools to leverage the full power of their data for smarter, faster operations.'
Evisions and Alteryx are committed to providing higher education institutions with tools that empower administrators and staff to act with confidence in a competitive and evolving landscape.

The transformative power of AI to create jobs in Africa
Mastercard's latest whitepaper, Harnessing the transformative power of AI in Africa, demonstrates AI's potential to drive financial inclusion, job creation and innovation as it highlights how Africa's unique demographics, mobile-first infrastructure and entrepreneurial spirit position it as an active architect of the future. The whitepaper is a pan-African study of the continent's readiness, opportunity and roadmap for responsible artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. It provides detailed insights into how AI—if deployed responsibly and inclusively—can unlock transformative outcomes across the continent's major industries, including agriculture, healthcare, education, energy and finance. The whitepaper outlines the potential positive impact of AI on digital infrastructure, policy and governance, research and development, local language processing and investment into Africa. It also explores how AI can accelerate job creation, with up to 230 million digital jobs projected by 2030, and increase access to formal finance through AI-enabled credit scoring and fraud prevention. Reshaping lives With Africa's AI market projected to grow from $4.5bn in 2025 to $16.5bn by 2030, according to a recent report from Statista, the paper presents a clear case for multi-stakeholder collaboration and investment. Mark Elliott, division president, Africa at Mastercard, comments that Africa's engagement with AI is already reshaping lives — not just in labs, but in farms, clinics and classrooms. 'To unlock its full potential, we need investment in infrastructure, data, talent, and policy. At Mastercard, we believe responsible, locally rooted AI can drive inclusive growth and connect more people to opportunity.' Greg Ulrich, chief AI and data officer, Mastercard, adds, 'AI is only as powerful as the trust behind it. At Mastercard, we're committed to building AI that's responsible, inclusive, and built to bring value to our customers, partners and employees. 'This isn't just innovation—it's innovation with integrity.' Regional highlights Regional highlights covered in the whitepaper include: - South Africa South Africa attracted $610m in AI-focused venture capital in 2023, with total AI investment expected to reach $3.7bn by 2030. With the highest data and infrastructure readiness in Africa, the country is solidifying its role as a continental leader in AI research and application. It is home to the Artificial Intelligence Institute of South Afri,ca which serves as a gateway for students and professionals to access world-class education, research and industry news. National plans aim to develop up to 300 AI start-ups and train 5,000 AI professionals by 2030, creating the foundation for a vibrant, homegrown AI ecosystem. - Kenya An emerging leader in AI innovation, Kenya has leveraged its 'Silicon Savannah' status to securely deploy AI across sectors. Platforms like Tala use mobile data for credit scoring, while Jacaranda Health's UlizaLlama, an AI-powered chatbot, provides maternal health support in five local languages. The newly launched National AI Strategy (2025–2030) outlines the government's commitment to positioning Kenya as a regional leader in AI research and development, innovation and commercialisation for socioeconomic development. - Nigeria Nigeria ranks second in the number of AI startups in Africa and secured $218m in VC investment in 2023. As one of Africa's most dynamic AI ecosystems, Nigeria is using AI to personalise learning (Rising Academies), deliver microfinance via and strengthen governance with AI tools that monitor public fund allocation. With a $1.4bn projected AI market size by 2025, the government's proactive approach, combined with growing private-sector innovation, suggests promising growth in AI applications. - Morocco An emerging AI hub in North Africa, Morocco is advancing AI adoption across healthcare, energy, agriculture, and finance. Institutions such as Mohammed VI Polytechnic University and DeepEcho are driving local innovation, while the MoroccoAI Annual Conference is shaping national dialogue on the future of AI. Under its Digital 2030 strategy, Morocco aims to attract $ 1.1bn in investment and create 240,000 digital jobs by 2030. Despite this progress, the whitepaper warns that data fragmentation, language exclusion and regulatory inconsistency could deepen the digital divide. Unlocking AI's full impact Harnessing the potential of AI in Africa will be instrumental in accelerating financial inclusion and driving the continent's digital and economic growth. Strategic collaborations between governments, fintechs, and global partners will be key to unlocking AI's full impact. Mastercard's whitepaper draws on insights from leading African technologists, policymakers, academics and entrepreneurs, including interviews with UnescO, the African Center for Economic Transformation, and fintech leaders across the region.

Verizon incorporates floodwater sensors into their 5G deployment
Verizon has teamed with startup company Hyfi and the Center for Neighborhood Technology on a project to use 50 low-cost, high-tech sensors across flood-prone areas in Chicago to improve real-time monitoring and aid emergency preparations. The sensors operate on Verizon's 5G network and aim to provide critical data to city managers, emergency officials and residents to mitigate the impact of floods. Hyfi's solar-powered sensors are combined with a web-based app to create a real-time flood condition map. The app minimises or eliminates the need for stormwater professionals or emergency responders to manually calibrate the sensors during a major weather event. It plans to also offer the app to local residents to monitor data in their own neighbourhoods. Verizon also announced Hyfi joined its Frontline Innovation Program to develop services which improve community emergency response and recovery efforts. The operator rolled out the floodwater sensors in the Louisiana city of New Orleans last year, which provided critical data during hurricane season in the US. It plans to deploy the sensors in additional cities over the next year. The non-profit Center for Neighborhood Technology, which is focused on improving cities by making them more sustainable, and Verizon are also working together to educate communities about making informed decisions and staying safe during weather-related emergencies.

Trump reportedly wanted 20% of Nvidia's H20 China sales
US President Donald Trump reportedly wanted a 20% cut of Nvidia's H20 chip China sales, but eventually settled for 15% after negotiations with their CEO Jensen Huang. CNBC reported President Trump outlined the higher asking price during a press conference in Washington DC on August 11th. The news agency stated Huang met with Trump at the White House on 8 August. AMD is also allowed to sell its AI chips to China under the same terms. The Nvidia decision was a reversal of the Trump administration's previous posture of not allowing exports of the chip due to national security issues and concern the US is losing its technological AI advantage to China, which led to a plan in April to require the licences. Last month, the decision to reopen sales to China drew opposition from security experts and politicians in the US. CNBC reported President Trump stated Nvidia's H20 is an 'old chip that China already has' and is 'obsolete'. President Trump also said he would not allow Nvidia's flagship Blackwell chip to be sold in China without significant downgrades, including a 30 per cent to 50 per cent reduction in performance. 'The Blackwell is super-duper advanced. I wouldn't make a deal with that,' Trump said, adding 'They won't have it for five years.' Source: Mobile World Live Image Credit: Nvidia
