Beyond Decision Models – Using Technical and Business Standards to Transform ...Jonathan L'Ecuyer
The financial services industry has long been a driver for technology innovation. Volatile regulations, increased demands for compliance, and a requirement for transparency necessitate the ability to quickly create and efficiently manage decisions. A key component will certainly be the ability to develop services or disseminate decisions in a consistent, unambiguous and transparent fashion. Reliance on traditional software platforms will not meet this need. Open, API-based architectures able to rapidly evolve and share are critical.
MISMO – the Mortgage Industry Standards and Maintenance Organization – recently announced the official recommendation for the use of the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard for documentation, implementation, execution and exchange of business rules and decisions across the mortgage industry.
This presentation focuses on the integration of existing business data standards in the mortgage industry (MISMO) with technology standards (DMN, BPMN) to enable a powerful approach to handling Fintech and Regtech solutions. “Decisions as a Service” will become a primary delivery model to facilitate the creation and deployment of powerful APIs and microservices. Decisions enable a business-driven approach to develop and deploy the capabilities as services will allow consumers to get custom automation.

Inside the mind of Generation D: What it means to be data-rich and analytica...Derek Franks
It’s one thing to buy into the current belief that data and analytics can transform business. It’s another thing to live it. In an IBM Center for Applied Insights global study of more than 1,000 enterprises, one particular segment – Generation D (for data) – stands out from peers. These enterprises not only employ more advanced data sources and more sophisticated analytics; they’re also adopting a more systematic, enterprise-wide approach to cloud computing, mobile and social engagement, and data and analytics. Interestingly, this GenD behavior pattern also correlates with stronger business performance across a range of key metrics.

It seems our frustrations with IT are alive and well. Fuji Xerox surveyed 1,000 business managers and office employees about their pet peeves and IT came out on top for one third of respondents. Think email, Microsoft Office, office equipment and internet outages.
As far as printer-specific issues go, one in five respondents are specifically frustrated with having to troubleshoot errors, which can waste precious work time. Office workers are irritated by simple tasks such as replacing toner, loading paper and paper jams. Thirteen per cent are unhappy about the distance from their desk to the printer.
IT issues and frustrations can be costly and time consuming for a business. If you’re a business manager, it may be time consider how you can improve printing and IT processes to reduce the time and money spent on resolving issues.
As a business manager, improving the efficiency of printing and IT processes can target your number one frustration: cost and budgeting. Our research found that for 38 per cent of business managers, costs and budgeting are a major worry and one in four are concerned about staff productivity.
A managed print services (MPS) contract, which outsources the management of your printing fleet to a third party, can help to streamline printing and reduce costs. Signing up to a managed print services contract can result in a 30% reduction in print related costs. Furthermore, with staff no longer having to deal with printer issues, it also allows for improvements in staff productivity.
This infographic provides a good overview of the research results and explains why MPS is a good idea for business.

Sigmund Freud said happiness depends on our ability to love and work. For decades, "work" typically entailed a home-work-home concept, confined to the four walls of an office cubicle. Fast forwarding to present day, work is no more a place where you go every day, but is rather something you do. Work is something that moves with you and lets you connect and communicate through mobile workspaces. As long as you feel motivated, work can be accomplished from anywhere. With disruptive technologies like IoT leading the change, the new age workforce has broken free from the shackles of a 9 - 5 existence and moved to digital workspaces, thus changing the fundamental nature of work.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
2. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 2
A survey from Citrix suggests
that, by 2020, the average office
will provide six desks for every
10 workers, with each employee
having access to their company
network from an average of six
different devices.
3. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 3
Flexible Working refers to any
working schedule that is outside of a
normal working pattern. This means
that the working hours, instead of being
repetitive and fixed, can involve changes
and variations. It can mean an employee
has variables such as when and where
they choose to work. It can also mean the
tools which employees use to get their
jobs done is heavily based in technology.
Flexible Working enables both the
employee and the business’needs to be
met through agility and adjustments to
things like time (when), location (where)
and manner (how) both choose to work.
This is mutually beneficial to both the
employer and employee and result in
outcomes the reap success.
4. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 4
So as a business or organisation
in this ever–changing landscape–
what does this mean for the
more traditional office?
The adoption of flexible workspaces is
the cultural core of some of today’s most
influential and thriving companies. A flexible
workspace is about comfort, empowerment,
and trust. It’s employee-focused, meaning
it gives the power to your people – allowing
them to work when and from where makes
most sense to them – but this comes with
responsibility from both ends.
5. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 5
Flexible workspace is
a more productive one.
Remote employees are more
productive than their in-office
counterparts because they’re
more comfortable. They work
when and where they are
motivated – not when they are
told to. They feel empowered
by their employers.
A flexible workspace has
environmental impact.
With less office space to
maintain, reduced commuting
to and from work and fewer
supplies to dispose of, flexible
work policies help companies
lower their carbon footprints
and the hard costs of running
a traditional business.
A flexible workspace
attracts the best talent.
Running a remote/virtual
workplace opens opportunities
to remote/virtual employees.
Businesses’ have the ability to
attract talent from different
markets and locations. The goal
in recruiting shifts from finding
people to finding talents that
best fit the business, regardless
of location. A flexible workspace
also attracts those who wouldn’t
normally consider the traditional
9 to 5 due to other commitments
(part-time students, stay-at-
home parents, retired
professionals, etc).
A flexible workspace
gives the power to
the people.
Employees who feel empowered
to structure their work and lives
according to their needs are more
satisfied. There is no concern
of work/life balance because
the two become so seamless.
When work becomes less about
employees feel more engaged,
connected, and loyal to the
businesses goals.
6. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 6
Employees who commit to less-
traditional hours need employers
to commit to providing their teams
with the tools they need to get
their jobs done, from anywhere.
Here’s a look at some of the essential tools
your operation will need to be more flexible:
1. Encourage Collaboration
2. Increase your Support
3. Keep Company Culture at the Forefront
4. Secure Mobile Connection
5. Provide Remote Help-Desk
7. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 7
The term ‘office’ is no longer defined as ‘the
place where work happens’. Today’s office is
really a meeting place, where people come
together and feel a part of something. It’s
a hub of collaboration and a physical part of
your company’s culture where your people
go to share ideas of each other.
A flexible workspace makes it easier to do
this with things liked shared monitors,
integrated phone lines, mobile video
conferencing tools and other wireless
technology. It’s important to give your team
a variety of ways to keep in touch – to make
it easier and faster for employee to meet,
connect, and give each other feedback.
These are e-based collaboration solutions
that offer screen sharing, video conferencing,
cloud computing, and the ability to host
scheduled or impromptu virtual meetings.
1. Encourage Collaboration
8. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 8
“…Studies show that
organisations that offer
workplace flexibility have less
absenteeism and turnover, and
higher levels of engagement
and productivity..”
Forbes
9. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 9
2. Increase your Support
Adopting the open-office concept is about
much more than just the removal of walls.
Yes, employees can choose from shared
workbenches, semi-enclosed spaces or private
meeting/call rooms. But this move also frees
up funding for upgrades to IT infrastructure,
collaboration software and providing superior
support services for your employees regardless
of their location.
There’s a natural rhythm to collaboration
in an open office. People need to focus
alone and in pairs to generate ideas.
Spaces for privacy in this case are equally
as important as those for coming together.
The more demanding the task, the more
time employees need for moments of private
time to think or recharge. It’s important
that the flow of your flexispace
accommodates this rhythm.
10. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 10
When your team is collaborating “inside”
a technology rather than an office, it’s
important that the technology matches the
culture of your company. It’s also important
to make it as easy as possible for your team
to stay up to date with the company’s
tracking and internal objectives.
It’s hard to feel a part of something that
you aren’t physically in. It’s important to be
intentional about protecting your culture.
Keep communication open and include your
remote employees in everything you can -
train them on your company values. These
are things like morning huddles, one-on-ones,
monthly staff meetings or even town halls –
anything that makes employees feel a part
of the business.
3. Keep Company Culture
at the Forefront
11. TRENDS IN WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY 11
Businesses with employees that work remotely
or travel greatly need unified communication
solutions to allow them to stay connected
and productive while working. Secured mobile
business workflows enable your staff member
