Radvision webinar: Making Real Time Video Work Over The InternetRADVISION Ltd.
It's an opportune time for up-and-coming conferencing service providers to deploy collaboration solutions based on VoIP architectures. Early adopters amongst the Conferencing Service Providers (CSPs) have demonstrated the benefits and cost-efficiencies of these technologies in large hosted conferencing deployments. Now is the time for smaller or emerging market CSPs still operating legacy TDM audio bridges to embrace IP-based audio conferencing platforms, and capture your fair share of the growing hosted collaboration market opportunity.
What Attendees will learn:
* Understand the trends and key requirements for business customers using hosted conferencing services, and how traditional TDM audio bridges are not keeping up.
* Learn how IP-based conferencing platforms not only deliver cost-efficiencies in hosted conferencing services, but they also offer the flexibility to seamlessly integrate into collaboration processes and communication behaviours of your target markets.
* Understand the equipment and features required in entry-level systems to get you started, with the scalability to grow, or add video and web collaboration capabilities.

App Modernization with .NET Core: How Travelers Insurance is Going Cloud-NativeVMware Tanzu
At Travelers Insurance, a decade old rating engine was still on the mainframe, making it difficult to scale, expensive to run, and reliant on a shrinking pool of skilled engineers. Rating engines are fundamental to the insurance quoting process, and at the very heart of the business. It was time to modernize and take advantage of the scalability, stability, automation and fast iteration cycles made possible by cloud-native architecture.
In this webinar, Viraj Naik of Travelers Insurance and Rohit Kelapure of Pivotal will take us on their journey from mainframe to microservices. Viraj and Rohit will describe how they built a distributed, event-driven rating engine with .NET Core on Pivotal Platform using Steeltoe, running on Linux stem cells. The new rating engine exceeded SLAs and reduced time to production to under 60 minutes.
You’ll learn the keys to a successful mainframe rewrite-based modernization, including:
● A pragmatic, domain-driven approach and phased delivery, including implementing a strangler pattern and anti-corruption layers.
● How to port business objects and business rules from mainframe to .NET.
● New innovations developed and delivered during the migration process.

This document discusses how lean principles can be applied to package implementation projects involving commercial off-the-shelf software. It recommends defining requirements using user stories and test cases instead of detailed specifications. It also advocates for implementing the package in iterations where each iteration is tested and deployed to production, rather than a "big bang" approach. Other lean aspects discussed include co-locating the project team, vendor, and client to improve communication, and including contractual incentives to encourage finishing early.

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.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

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.

Managing Director
Valtech Technology
henri.Petitet@valtech.fr
3. The Problem of the CIO
Doing more with a smaller budget
• More application development
• More responsiveness to business demand
• Reduce maintenance costs
• Reduce infrastructure costs
• Establish an organization
which emphasizes business innovation
• Position his organization as the center of value
rather than the center of cost
#3
4. Proposed solutions - chronologically
● Selected list of vendors
• in order to benefit from the rate effect on the volumes
● Generalization of subcontracting and fixed-bid projects
● Appearance of development centers in regions (near shore)
● Widespread use of open source
● Offshore Strategy Development
#4
5. First Offshore Observations
● Uneven quality of deliverables
that impact compliance with the time to market
● Tunnel effect accentuated by the distance
● Problem of understanding the requirement
● Improbable responsiveness
to business demands and functional changes
● Lack of transparency
● Less benefit on small project teams
#5
6. Agility helps offset these side effects
In fact, agility provides:
• Greater predictability
• Better responsiveness
because the IT and Business teams are integrated
• Self-organizing teams
• Transparency, feedback,
visual management, communication
• Time to market
• Reduced maintenance costs
thanks to better quality
• Adapted for small teams
#6
7. Are Agility and offshore compatible?
At Valtech we firmly believe that
agility and offshore are not only compatible
but that the combination of both is a key factor of success.
Agility naturally erases the distance through
• Periodic and frequent mandatory ceremonies
• Collaborative tools (wiki, code repository, instant msg.…)
• Permanent monitoring of progress (daily scrum, demos, Cont.Int.)
• Transparency of KPIs shared in real time: velocity, quality
Agility adapts to offshore:
• Adapt the documentation to facilitate mutual understanding
• Put in place powerful means of video-conferencing
• Plan to travel and do workshops
#7
8. Conclusion
Agility is consistent with Offshoring
and many of our customers like Rail Europe
have understood, adopted and generalized it.
