Healthcare as an industry is experiencing dramatic change in its IT landscape. A very important factor for Healthcare IT is to comply with critical healthcare compliances like HIPAA and making investments in computer systems and software and their security more important than ever. As well in order to improve the quality of care there is an absolute need of integrated and collaborative systems providing patient information and medical reference knowledge to the medical decision makers at the point of clinical decision making.
Few more critical drivers for the changes are:
- Government regulations and initiatives to bring down the healthcare costs,
- Demand for patient centric systems
- Increasing patient awareness
Considering the specific needs of the Healthcare industry and based on our extensive research findings Optimus BT has chalked out a overall presentation to provide an overview of the state of Healthcare ecosystem and the ways to make it more efficient and effective to improve quality of care.

from Optimus BT Insights | SharePoint Intranets
Many organizations are using SharePoint [MOSS 2007] for Document Management and Collaboration. SharePoint is much more than that - in our opinion it is one of the very best Web Content Management Platforms for an organization with medium to complex web content management needs - needs that span countries, languages, functionality customizations, customized navigation and integration requirements among others. It provides a very effective content management, approvals and publishing process to help manage a reasonable sized Web Portal either as an internal Portal or a Public website. This presentation provides details on what is possible with SharePoint in terms of Web Content Management
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

5. The Continual Growth of Social Tools
Intranets 2011 will usher in the era where Social tools and applications take prominence and provide
organizations with an opportunity to connect better with their employees.
The social profile of users will begin to serve as resource hub – not only can employees connect with
other employees but disseminate information about themselves, their areas of interests and
achievements which will allow for greater employee recognition and understanding.
Employee generated content is taking prominence and with abilities like user tagging, social profiling,
“people” based content information and search has been enhanced.
Web 2.0 intranet will also greatly benefit the entire organization in terms of retaining enterprise talent
due to the open nature of the tools which help the HR to identify expertise and find people with niche
skill sets based on their contribution and participation in a socially collaborative intranet environment.
“Enterprise 2.0 technologies have the potential to let an intranet become what the internet already is: an online
platform with a constantly changing structure built by distributed, autonomous and largely self-interested peers.
On this platform, authoring creates content; links and tags knit it together; and search, extensions, tags and
signals make emergent structures and patterns in the content visible, and help people stay on top of it all.
Enterprise 2.0 technologies are subject to network effects; as more people engage in authoring, linking and
tagging, emergent structure becomes increasingly fine-grained.”
- Andrew P. McAfee in Enterprise 2.0: The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration (MIT Sloan Management
Review, Spring 2009)
6. Dynamic Work Place
The corporate intranet is evolving continually and is viewed from a perspective of the consolidated
work place – the business oriented work tool.
Access and work from any place – the era of Mobile Communication is well and truly here. With
Mobile devices like the iPad, Blackberry and the iPhone, users have been accorded greater flexibility
in accessing their information irrespective of their locations.
Corporate Intranets as consolidated workplaces provide employees and business users with
information in context of their everyday work – helping them execute work faster and reduce the
overheads and efforts involved due to redundant information and data gathering activities.
Intranets as Dynamic workplaces provide organizations with a flexible platform that will allow them
to channel the overall goals and objectives to the entire organization and track to the set goals and
objectives in the right manner – helping them keep ahead of the competition.
7. Intranets as a Self Service Platform
Intranets will focus on delivering tools and applications that are self service in nature – allowing
employees to get access to all information and execute everyday tasks without the need to wait on
anything else
The self service tools of the intranets will be available at various levels – at the enterprise level,
departmental level, project / team level and peer to peer level, greatly improving the productivity of
the employees across the various functions of the organization as a whole.
Deliver HR, Finance and Facilities related services such as taxation information, benefit forms, expense
reporting etc for users to access content from a central repository in a secure manner.
Personal management tools helps streamline process online, reduce employee overheads and align
towards a more paperless organization.
8. The Collaboration Network
Collaboration Intranets in 2011 will focus beyond team, project and departmental level
collaboration and facilitate intra departmental / business function collaboration making it
easy to streamline majority of the critical collaboration processes within organization.
Social tools bring in the concept of social collaboration – which simplifies the contribution,
sharing and dissemination of content, information and documents, making it possible to
review and approve in a faster manner.
Collaboration intranet will help to identify and address specific needs and initiatives
around projects, departments and collaboration teams.
Establish the best practices of communities across the organization where employees can
utilize a single interface to communicate, collaborate, foster ideas and share knowledge.
Enterprise Search
Social and community tools enable employees with self service content contribution
capabilities, increasing the volume of content on the intranet, making search an important
part of the enterprise intranet
Intranets are focused on providing context based search that allows users to look beyond
just documents and content, but also obtain information based on people search,
expertise and social tagging.
9. Enterprise Content Management
Intranets 2011 will give prominence to user generated content and will include tools that bring in the
concepts of Web 2.0 to allow users to quickly contribute and share content.
Content organization and structuring will move beyond folders hierarchies and will be managed with a
combination of enterprise taxonomy for formal structuring and folksonomies using free flow, user
specific tags for organizing the content and information based on the user’s preferences.
Personalization will be one of the key feature that needs to be integrated within the Intranets 2011.
With personalization, employees and business users can have a “dedicated” personal space on the
intranet where they can collect, track and manage information and data relevant to them from across
the intranet.
Intranets 2011 will see enterprise content being consistently delivered through various types of
interfaces like smart phones and other mobile business devices.
The Digital Environment
Organizations will look beyond documents and presentations and utilize rich media like videos, flash
embeds and audio files among others which are interactive and are delivered through interfaces that
stream these files or social and community mechanisms like wikis and blogs among others.
Help employees access real time information and enhance business intelligence outputs through a
single dashboard. Reduce turn around times in key decision making requirements.

29. Information Architecture
The Information Architecture plays a big role in the user acceptance of the intranet –design the
architecture to provide a consistent user experience.
Establish the common categories and sections that users tend to use – HR, Company
Information and News have been the most popular traditionally
Simplify the process of personalization and customizations - Quick links are an example of how
users view the links they regularly visit
Factor in dynamic growth of user profiles and social tagging features to support search and
visibility. With user profiles playing a central role in content relations and management, the
architecture should be dynamic and self sustaining in nature
Consider future changes and scope of intranet growth from a social networking, content
management, collaboration and as well as governance policies .
30. Mobile Intranets
Mobile access of intranets are more focused on meeting high priority requirements – such
as documents management, collaboration needs etc
Provide features that take in to consideration of the device in use – small screens, input
devices, download delays and design and compatibility of mobile sites.
Provide only business critical functions on mobile usage – full usage of intranets on
mobile devices caused more hindrance then enhancement
Establish support features for mobile devices – maintenance of intranet should be
expanded to mobile usage in addition to full intranet usage.
31. Social Business Tools
Asses and identify the social networking maturity of the organization – not all social networking
features are required; strike the balance of requirement and access
provided to employees.
Social tagging and profiling are important artifacts that have enhanced social networking
features – provide for users to identify those attributes that will help in improving their social
visibility and network across the organization
Provide for social taxonomy and folksonomies that will allow for people with similar interests,
problems and identifying experts. “User rating” is of particular importance as it helps identify an
user with an issue or line of expertise that other employees stand to gain from and boosts
knowledge management.
Social Profiles should contribute towards HR functions and allow the HR department to
identify those resources and experts who can add value to a particular requirement or fulfill
requirements outside of their domain. Helps in enhancing talent management
and idea management
32. User Experience
User experience forms a core requirement for acceptance of the intranet – keep it simple and
easy to use for users to relate to it.
Consider Web 2.0, collaboration, social networking and internet styles while designing the user
experience.
Leverage latest technology like VoIP, video streaming, audio enhancements, RIA and Ajax,
providing better user experience to interact has become the norm
Utilize SharePoint intranet design practices to ensure that employees have better interfaces,
lesser page loading and refreshing times and application that execute faster – follow popular
social networking platforms that follow simplistic views and trends.
Implement search capabilities that allows employees to obtain relevant information
encompassing documents, content, profiles, experts etc in shorter time spans – “Accurate
results leads to greater productivity”.
“I want to Google my internal work spaces, rendered as the intranet. “
- In the words of an end user.
33. Intranet Governance
Intranet governance requires top level sponsorship across all key stake holders to plan,
approve, develop and deploy intranets – clear definition of objectives, goals and mission is a
critical need.
Ensure the tracking of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) across the business against the ROI,
user approval and acceptance and engagement matrices.
Establish clear guidelines on social networking, content management and publishing with
social media policies that define ownership and responsibility towards content
Build on existing policies and procedures instead of abolishing them – users will be able to
better relate to existing do’s and don’ts than having to understand from scratch
Evolve from the “blocking” scenario to more self governed scenario – put the onus on the
content owners and publishers to take responsibility of the data.
Simplicity and transparency are the keys to good governance.
34. Improved Employee Satisfaction
Employee surveys reveal that users are able to find relevant information faster. Ex: Users are able
to find experts in minutes when previously it took them hours or even days.
Enterprise 2.0 tools have improved knowledge sharing, idea fostering and resource management
enabling greater productivity and efficiency. Ex: New recruits are able to obtain support and
knowledge leading to faster learning curve.
Technology Enhancements
Mobile intranets provide access to employees from any location for collaboration and document
management leading to lesser turn around times. Ex: Sales employee can collaborate with any
team and get a quote instantly.
Communication has become faster with tools like IM, VOIP, Video Conferencing etc. This has also
reduced travel times and cost overheads.
