Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has launched its ESG Integration Solution on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform to help financial institutions more easily and accurately measure the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in their investment analysis. Consisting of a cloud-native ESG data ingestion platform and custom ESG scoring model, the solution is integrated with AWS Data Exchange and allows more transparency and flexibility to align investment portfolios with ESG criteria and measure them against quantifiable and standardized sustainability benchmarks. Despite the rising interest in incorporating non-financial factors, such as greenhouse gas emissions, into investment evaluation, a study found that 66% of asset managers reported data as an impediment to ESG integration. Often, financial institutions face a costly and resource- and time-intensive process—sourcing and standardizing siloed data from a variety of third parties and proprietary measurements to be able to analyze the value of ESG factors. TCS’ ESG Integration Solution enables investment managers to procure

Simulations Plus, Inc., a leading provider of modeling and simulation software and services for pharmaceutical safety and efficacy, reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2022, ended May 31, 2022. “While the growth trend in our software business continued during the third quarter, our services business showed a strong recovery with 19% growth,” said Shawn O’Connor, chief executive officer of Simulations Plus. “The services backlog we built over the past few quarters set up this recovery, driven by PBPK and PKPD projects. PBPK was especially strong as we saw deeper penetration of modeling resulting from expanded use cases and perceived value. Looking at our software business, our efforts to expand our addressable market continued to pay off as we saw increased upsells, continued expansion in Asia, and deeper penetration of modeling and simulation with smaller biotech firms.” Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Highlights (compared with the corresponding period last fiscal year): Total

Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced that Catharina Hospital, the largest hospital in the Netherlands’ Eindhoven region, providing care for over 150,000 patients, has selected the HPE Ezmeral software portfolio to build a cloud-native analytics and data lakehouse to provide more accurate diagnosis, early detection and injury prevention for patients. Every year, approximately 40,000 patients are diagnosed with heart failure in the Netherlands. Heart disease can develop without any noticeable symptoms. Cardiologists hope that artificial intelligence can significantly contribute to the management of heart disease and provide better treatment for patients. “The new data lakehouse that we’ve created using HPE Ezmeral will enable us to help accelerate model training and detect cardiogram anomalies among the 500,000 electrocardiograms (ECGs) already available for data analysis with higher precision and to identify the correct diagnosis and treatment,” said Thomas Mast from the cardiology department at Catharina Hospital. “The development of these algorithms based on artificial intelligence may deliver more accurate
