Driving Profitability with Professional Services AutomationProformative, Inc.
Like most businesses, Professional Services organizations need effective communication processes and 360 degree visibility across sales, services delivery, and finance. It’s no surprise that top-ranked services-driven businesses are more than twice as likely to use an integrated Professional Services Automation (PSA) solution to improve their back-office efficiencies and profit margins. In fact, organizations using PSA saw a nearly 20% increase in annual revenue, according to a recent Aberdeen report.
Join Doug Tilley, General Manager of PSA Applications at FinancialForce.com, as he discusses findings from the 2014 Aberdeen report, Driving Back Office Profitability with Professional Services Automation, including how best-in-class organizations rely on PSA to ensure accuracy and compliance, increase efficiencies, and build greater profit margins in a services-focused business.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).
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.
