The Future of Automation: Insights from IDC and Preciselyredmondpulver
Automation’s role in digital transformation is nothing new, but the disruptions of recent years have exposed the limitations of our efforts to this point. Does that feel familiar? If so, you’re not.
We’re seeing so many companies double down on the development and deployment of automation as quickly and broadly across their organizations as possible. In other words, hyperautomation.
These efforts include adopting automation platforms with flexible, contingent workflow solutions that drive efficiencies and greater data integrity across multiple complex, data-intensive processes.
To learn more, watch our webinar – featuring guest speaker Maureen Fleming, Program Vice President for IDC's Intelligent Process Automation research, and Andrew Hayden, Sr. Product Marketing Manager at Precisely.
Maureen will share recent research and insights from IDC on the importance of process automation to digital transformation, along with predictions for the future. Andrew will then share some of the challenges we’re hearing from our customers around automating complex, data-intensive business processes, and the features you should look for in an automation platform.
You can expect to come away with insights into:
· How digital transformation and automation are evolving
· How to avoid the key challenges with automation that slow down transformation benefits
· Market perspective from the automation provider’s point of view
· How a complete automation platform supports hyperautomation success

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
