From the MarTech Conference in London, UK, October 20-21, 2015. SESSION: The Human Side of Analytics. PRESENTATION: The Human Side of Data - Given by Colin Strong - @colinstrong - Managing Director - Verve, Author of Humanizing Big Data. #MarTech DAY2
Democratizing Analytics: From Practical Access to Real-World, Enterprise-Wide Relevance
In the changing economy and increasingly globalized nature and importance of modern supply chains, both private and public sector organizations can no longer "survive" the inefficiencies of the overarching, monolithic undertakings associated with traditional ERP-centric implementation programs.
Written by Jon Hansen of Procurement Insights, the thought provoking whitepaper examines what is meant by democratizing analytics and the role of web 2.0 technologies such as cloud computing to deliver faster, sustainable savings in critical areas such as financial outcomes, increased personnel performance and strategy compliance and maintenance.
Cutting Edge Predictive Analytics with Eric Siegel Databricks
Apache Spark empowers predictive analytics and machine learning by increasing the reach and potential. But, before jumping to new deployments, it’s critical we 1) get the analytics right and 2) not overlook less conspicuous business opportunities. In this keynote, Predictive Analytics World founder and “Predictive Analytics” author Eric Siegel ramps you up on a dangerous pitfall and a critical value proposition:
– PITFALL: Avoiding BS predictive insights, i.e., “bad science,” spurious discoveries
– OPPORTUNITY: Optimizing marketing persuasion by predicting the *influence* of marketing treatments, i.e., uplift modeling

Since 2005, when the term “Big Data” was launched, Big Data has become an increasingly topical theme. In terms of technological development and business adoption, the domain of Big Data has made powerful advances; and that is putting it mildly.
In this initial report on Big Data, the first of four, we give answers to questions concerning what exactly Big Data is, where it differs from existing data classification, how the transformative potential of Big Data can be estimated, and what the current situation (2012) is with regard to adoption and planning.
VINT attempts to create clarity in these developments by presenting experiences and visions in perspective: objectively and laced with examples. But not all answers, not by a long way, are readily available. Indeed, more questions will arise – about the roadmap, for example, that you wish to use for Big Data. Or about governance. Or about the way you may have to revamp your organization. About the privacy issues that Big Data raises, such as those involving social analytics. And about the structures that new algorithms and systems will probably bring us.

Banks Betting on Big Data Analytics and Real-Time Execution to Better Engage ...SAP Analytics
Winning new business and satisfying customers are top agenda items in bank boardrooms worldwide. Executives are bullish on new technologies to meet these objectives.
There is little arguing the benefits and disruptive potential of Big Data. However, many organizations have not fully embedded Big Data in their operations. In fact, our research shows that only 13% have achieved full-scale production for their Big Data implementations. The most troubling development is that most organizations are failing to benefit from their investments. Only 27% of respondents described their Big Data initiatives as “successful” and only 8% described them as “very successful”.
To be updated is not enough for companies today. Organizations must be constantly watching also to the trends in order to predict and forecast the next steps for their business. The following document is a Executive Summary of the current situation but also of the more notable trends that will help to understand the basics of the Analytics Market

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

Big Data In Politics
Using Big Data And Digital Analytics To Level The Political Playing Field
This article explores how machine learning is being used to gauge the
popularity of political candidates by measuring their digital influence. The
premise is simple: gather and crunch as much data as possible to create a
candidate’s score, which is a measure of digital influence that takes into
account factors such as a candidate’s digital footprint and citizens’
sentiment toward the candidate. Reading this article, you will see that
Digital Analytics has proven remarkably accurate in predicting winners, but
its real promise is in levelling the playing field between the haves and the
have-nots in political campaigns.
