How to Take Advantage of an Enterprise Data Warehouse in the CloudDenodo
Watch full webinar here: [https://buff.ly/2CIOtys]
As organizations collect increasing amounts of diverse data, integrating that data for analytics becomes more difficult. Technology that scales poorly and fails to support semi-structured data fails to meet the ever-increasing demands of today’s enterprise. In short, companies everywhere can’t consolidate their data into a single location for analytics.
In this Denodo DataFest 2018 session we’ll cover:
Bypassing the mandate of a single enterprise data warehouse
Modern data sharing to easily connect different data types located in multiple repositories for deeper analytics
How cloud data warehouses can scale both storage and compute, independently and elastically, to meet variable workloads
Presentation by Harsha Kapre, Snowflake
From the Data Work Out event:
Performant and scalable Data Science with Dataiku DSS and Snowflake
Managing the whole process of setting up a machine learning environment from end-to-end becomes significantly easier when using cloud-based technologies. The ability to provision infrastructure on demand (IaaS) solves the problem of manually requesting virtual machines. It also provides immediate access to compute resources whenever they are needed. But that still leaves the administrative overhead of managing the ML software and the platform to store and manage the data.
A fully managed end-to-end machine learning platform like Dataiku Data Science Studio (DSS) that enables data scientists, machine learning experts, and even business users to quickly build, train and host machine learning models at scale, needs to access data from many different sources and can also access data provided by Snowflake. Storing data in Snowflake has three significant advantages: a single source of truth, shorten the data preparation cycle, scale as you go.
Building Modern Data Platform with Microsoft AzureDmitry Anoshin
This presentation will cover Cloud history and Microsoft Azure Data Analytics capabilities. Moreover, it has a real-world example of DW modernization. Finally, we will check the alternative solution on Azure using Snowflake and Matillion ETL.
For those contemplating re-architecting or greenfields data lakes/data hubs/data warehouses in a cloud environment, talk to our Altis AWS Practice Lead - Guillaume Jaudouin about why you should be considering the "tour de force" combination of AWS and Snowflake.

The breath and depth of Azure products that fall under the AI and ML umbrella can be difficult to follow. In this presentation I’ll first define exactly what AI, ML, and deep learning is, and then go over the various Microsoft AI and ML products and their use cases.
Embarking on building a modern data warehouse in the cloud can be an overwhelming experience due to the sheer number of products that can be used, especially when the use cases for many products overlap others. In this talk I will cover the use cases of many of the Microsoft products that you can use when building a modern data warehouse, broken down into four areas: ingest, store, prep, and model & serve. It’s a complicated story that I will try to simplify, giving blunt opinions of when to use what products and the pros/cons of each.

Getting Mileage Out of Your Dashboard: Confirmit Community Conference 2013Delvinia
Dashboards present an exciting and compelling proposition. But, dashboards alone are not the solution to harnessing Big Data. The trouble is, too many organizations make the mistake of taking a data or technology approach to dashboards.
In August 2012, AskingCanadians and Pelmorex Media, owners of The Weather Network, embarked on an exciting research initiative to see if they could harness multi-platform, multi-source data to create a user-centric dashboard that would provide a single Brand Health Index designed to enable decision makers at The Weather Network to make better business decisions.
In a presentation at the 2013 Confirmit Community Conference in Las Vegas, Adam Froman, CEO of Delvinia & AskingCanadians, and Carol Pilas, Director, Market Research for Pelmorex Media, shared the learnings from this project—built using Confirmit as a key data collection component¬¬—and their journey of harnessing the power of Big Data.

Certus Accelerate - Disruptive Thinking Disrupting Markets by David MastCertus Solutions
With at least 1500 self-declared start-ups currently operating in Australia – and a spate of recent global success stories like Atlassian, Freelancer, and OzForex – larger enterprises are taking notice of their up-and-coming counterparts like never before. Many big businesses are proclaiming their intent to “disrupt like a start-up”; some are taking it further with seed funds, incubators, and employee stints in co-working hubs. But what does disrupting like a start-up really mean? And can traditional organisations really do it?
As a Technologist and IBM’s Bluemix lead for A/NZ, David has witnessed firsthand how organisations can transform with themselves through disruptive technologies and business models. In this session he will share with you the blueprint to becoming a disruptive market force.
Innovation and Transformation in Financial ServicesCertus Solutions
Historically, financial services firms have struggled to target and tailor their product offerings to the customer journey. Often only traditional demographic information – gender, age, occupation – is collected with no real insight as to what life stage a customer is in and how this could influence their financial activity.
To compete in a consumer-empowered economy, it is increasingly clear that financial services firms must leverage their information assets to gain a comprehensive understanding of markets, customers, channels, products, regulations, competitors, suppliers, employees and more.
IBM's Watson is a machine-learning platform that’s been built to mirror the same learning process that humans have: Observe, Interpret, Evaluate and Decide. Through the use of this cognitive framework, Watson can search through a database of information and pull out key insights to bridge gaps in human knowledge. It’s expertise scaling for enterprise.
Watson has already helped businesses across a variety of industries increase their customer engagement, data discovery and informed decision making abilities. Is your business next?

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

21. TOP 5 LESSONS LEARNT

• It’s all about your Customers, not You
• Having engaged stakeholders and quality of participants is key
22. “Self-disruption is extremely difficult.
The day after you decide to set up the
disruptive business as a separate unit,
the illogic of the new business to the
mainstream business is not magically
turned off.
Rather, second-guessing about the
initiative persists, because the logic is
embedded within the resource
allocation process itself. That second-
guessing must be overcome every day.”
- Clay Christenson, founder of Innosight,
author of The Innovator’s Dilemma
