Leveraging Data in Financial Services to Meet Regulatory Requirements and Cre...Perficient, Inc.
Regulators have increased their scrutiny on the financial services industry in recent years and have levied fines against banks of all sizes – fines that have reached into the billions of dollars.
Because of this, the financial services industry is focusing considerable time and expense on capturing data to meet regulatory requirements in reporting, risk management, and compliance. Gathering, enhancing, and reporting the required data from multiple applications to meet regulatory demands is a significant challenge, and firms often address these data challenges as one-off projects with the objective of complying with a single regulation rather than improving risk management overall. Mergers and acquisitions further complicate these efforts by increasing the number of systems that information needs to be pulled from.
Meanwhile, revenue-generating exercises that could benefit from the availability of better client and market information often go unfunded due to an over-arching focus on regulatory compliance.
Rather than structure your data project as a tactical approach to meet regulatory requirements, learn how your data investment can drive true cost savings, fine avoidance, revenue creation, and competitive advantage.
This event promises:
• An experienced point of view on current regulatory, compliance and anti-money laundering issues that financial institutions are facing.
• Pros and cons of tactical versus strategic approaches to meeting regulatory requirements, specifically around data governance,
• Examples of how you can leverage data governance to drive compliance as well as competitive advantage.

Transforming Pharmacovigilance Workflows with AI & Automation Perficient, Inc.
Medical information call centers have an opportunity to transform the way they capture, code, and analyze adverse events (AEs) and product quality complaints (PQCs) with artificial intelligence (AI) and automation.
The use of such innovative technology improves data quality and consistency, compliance, and operational efficiency. It helps reduce the frequency of your pharmacovigilance (PV) operations resources going home, saying, “I have more to do at the end of the day than I did when I started."
Our one-hour, on-demand webinar shows you how you can use AI and automation to turbo-charge your end-to-end PV system. Use cases and demonstrations will include:
Analyzing safety data
Auto-coding verbatim terms to official medical dictionary terms
Auto-creating an AE case in your database

The Secret to Acquiring and Retaining Customers in Financial ServicesPerficient, Inc.
Data, when leveraged effectively, can help you segment and target customers, analyze spending habits, and can create a personalized experience that builds value and customer loyalty.
Without a 360-degree view of your customers, you can’t properly target them with real-time personalized offers, advice, and other services. In addition, lack of customer intelligence creates lost opportunities for banks and insurers to cross-sell and upsell new products and services.
Our one-hour webinar covered how customer intelligence platforms can help you engage, acquire, and retain customers.
Oracle Strategic Modeling Live: Defined. Discussed. Demonstrated.Perficient, Inc.
The only thing certain about forecasting in a volatile economy is that the future is unpredictable.

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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

Standard Safe Harbor statement
Oracle EHA platform will facilitate source extractions from different source systems using consulting assets (Source extraction from EPIC and other legacy systems) into the staging area.OHADI will be configured with the data governance policies and populate the 3rd normal form data warehouse. The data warehouse stores all the necessary clinical, financial and administrative entities at the granular level.This data will feed the EPM solution specific to Planning and the Cost Accounting functions and also the analysis required to understand what drives profitability. This integration will support the needs of the healthcare organization to obtain a clear picture of costs and its relationship to quality. They must be able to answer key questions:identify profitability by case, service line, etc.?Which activities and processes produce value and enhance quality?How do contractual payer prices compare to costs?How much capacity is being used?Are equipment investments justified?Further enhancements to cost accounting will result from better integration of encounter-specific data from various clinical and operational systems. By achieving this integration through Oracles EHA and EPM solutions, healthcare organizations can begin to develop predictive modeling capabilities to better understand cause-and-effect relationships, and proactively alter patient care practices based on the analysis of previous patients that were derived from high-cost and poor quality outcomes. The power of these capabilities is advanced even further when applied to the entire continuum of patient care.HYPERION EPMThe Oracle Enterprise Performance Management solution (EPM) consists of a range of applications that is built on a highly scalable architecture.
