On February 04, ACL Services Ltd. officially announced the acquisition of Rsam (www.rsam.com). With this acquisition, ACL™ is consistently pursuing its growth path by consolidating its position in the GRC market.
At the end of last year, on 31.10.2018, we attended the Digital Audit Event of the IIA Switzerland. Our colleague Johannes Schwele from ACL™ presented the new ACL Robots in connection with the new possibilities that ACL™ offers in the area of Machine Learning and Data Analytic Case Management.
At the beginning of the year, we would like to give you a brief outlook on the year 2019. But first of all, I hope you had some relaxing holidays and a good start into the New Year, for which we wish you health, happiness and success. We have set ourselves a lot of goals for 2019, which could also be exciting for you.
There are constants in life that you can rely on - so Christmas is just around the corner. But this does not diminish the impression that we live in a time in which hardly anything stays the way it is, especially in the environment in which we operate with the topics of data analysis, ICS and integrated risk management.
ACL™ Connections 2018 was held in Philadelphia from 14 to 18 October. This is the annual global customer event of our partner ACL Services Ltd., headquartered in Vancouver.
The “Gartner Data & Analytics Summit” took place in Frankfurt on 23 and 24 October 2018. My fellow director Martin and I attended this event to learn about current trends in data analytics. Buzzwords such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud analytics and NPL (Natural Language Processing) are on everyone’s lips and it’s obviously important for us to gauge the current status quo and look at what the future could hold.
As you may have seen, we have added a new product, dab:AnalyticIntelligence, to our website. This blog post describes the product and how it differs from our existing solutions with which you are familiar. The blog has been written by Ernst-Rudolf Töller, with whom we have a longstanding, trusting and collaborative relationship in research and development matters. I hope you enjoy reading the blog – please contact us at any time if you have any questions.
Digitization is also making its way into internal auditing.
We will be in Switzerland on 31 October at the IIA Switzerland Digital Audit. In addition to exciting presentations by other experts, we will also be there with our own presentation on the topic of "The future of data analysis".
Together with our friend and colleague Johannes Schwele, we are already looking forward to the interesting discussions with you in Switzerland!

We are supporting the Movember Foundation this year, an organization dedicated to men's health for prostate and testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
The action is to collect donations for this Foundation throughout the month of November by wearing a mustache for the entire four weeks.
This week’s news that Salesforce founder Marc Benioff and his wife Lynne are purchasing “Time Magazine” reminded me that I had in fact been planning to write a blog post about ACL™ and Salesforce for some time.
Every year, we have the opportunity, as exclusive distribution partner of ACL™ in the German-speaking D-A-CH region, to attend the company’s event known as “Mobilize”. This blog takes a look at the most exciting topics covered at the event, giving you a taster of what lies ahead in the coming months.
On 12 and 13 September, dab: Mittelstand GmbH was an exhibitor at the Forum Deutscher Mittelstand 2018 in Stuttgart. This year's forum was under the motto "the future of small and medium-sized businesses is digital", a statement we also agree.
