The document evaluates 13 enterprise social platform vendors using 65 criteria across current offerings, strategy, and market presence. It finds that IBM, Microsoft, Salesforce.com, Jive, Zimbra, and Tibco lead in offering mature, complete solutions differentiated by integration or established partner ecosystems. Sitrion, Neudesic, Microsoft Yammer, Atlassian, SAP, OpenText, and blueKiwi are strong performers. Socialcast focuses on activity streams. Market leaders have emerged through portfolio integration, sales reach, and partner ecosystems supporting broader capabilities.
In 2011, the US hit a milestone — more than half of all adults visit social networking sites at least once a month. But when it comes to using social-networking technologies inside organizations, many business leaders are at a loss to understand what value can be created from Facebook-like status updates within the enterprise. Some organizations have deployed social-networking features with an initial enthusiastic reception, only to see these early efforts wither to just a few stalwart participants. The problem: Most companies approach enterprise social networks as a technology deployment and fail to understand that the new relationships created by enterprise social networks are the source for value creation. In this first of two reports, Altimeter looks at four ways enterprise social networks create value for organizations.

In June 2010, Gatorade unveiled its “Mission Control Center,” and in December of that year Dell announced its “Social Media Command Center.” Since then, organizations such as Hendrick Motorsports, The Oregon Ducks, Symantec and others have discussed how they use their social media command centers to listen to hundreds of thousands—even millions—of posts, interact with fans and customers, solve service issues and surface trends, risks and opportunities.
To learn more about the state of social media command centers, Altimeter Group spoke with three organizations — MasterCard, eBay, and Wells Fargo Bank — and found significant variations in objectives, priorities and technology for the command centers, but similarities in strategic focus and business planning.
In this report, Altimeter analyst Susan Etlinger presents findings, case studies, and expert recommendations for evaluating, building or fine-tuning a Social Media Command Center.

Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen

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.

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.

1. The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Social
Platforms, Q2 2014

For: CIOs
Key Takeaways
IBM, Microsoft, And Salesforce.com Are Forrester Wave Leaders And In A
Position To Be Market Leaders
Forrester’s research uncovered a market in which IBM Connections, salesforce Chatter
and Communities, Jive, Microsoft Office 365, Zimbra Communities, and Tibco tibbr
lead the pack. Sitrion, Neudesic, Microsoft Yammer, Atlassian, SAP, OpenText, and
blueKiwi offer competitive options. Socialcast by VMware lags behind.
The Market Is No Longer Nascent -- At Least In Terms Of Functionality
While there are still many offerings and the market remains chaotic, the offerings
are converging in terms of functional sets. Most products now offer robust activity
streams, blogs, wikis, and profiles, and the battleground for differentiation has moved to
integration, analytics, and partner ecosystems.
Market Leaders Are Emerging
Enterprise social has become increasingly integrated with adjacent technologies, such
as document collaboration, portals, and line-of-business applications like customer
relationship management. To that end, vendors with significant leverage like IBM,
Microsoft, and salesforce.com will become more dominant on customers’ shortlists.
Market Leadership Will Drive Dominant Ecosystems
Enterprise social does not live in isolation. It thrives with business-specific horizontal
and vertical extensions. As market leaders emerge, partner ecosystems will follow to
exploit the best market opportunities. Leaders will become even more dominant as
broader partner ecosystems increasingly equate to broader and deeper capabilities.
