Design Principles: The Philosophy of UXWhitney Hess
The visual principles of harmony, unity, contrast, emphasis, variety, balance, proportion, repetition, texture and movement (and others) are widely recognized and practiced, even when they aren’t formally articulated. But creating a good design doesn’t automatically mean creating a good experience.
In order for us to cultivate positive experiences for our users, we need to establish a set of guiding principles for experience design. Guiding principles are the broad philosophy or fundamental beliefs that steer an organization, team or individual’s decision making, irrespective of the project goals, constraints, or resources.
Whitney will share a universally-applicable set of experience design principles that we should all strive to follow, and will explore how you can create and use your own guiding principles to take your site or product to the next level.

The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Infrastructure Challenges in Scaling RAG with Custom AI modelsZilliz
Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with open-source and custom AI models is a complex task. This talk explores the challenges in productionizing RAG systems, including retrieval performance, response synthesis, and evaluation. We’ll discuss how to leverage open-source models like text embeddings, language models, and custom fine-tuned models to enhance RAG performance. Additionally, we’ll cover how BentoML can help orchestrate and scale these AI components efficiently, ensuring seamless deployment and management of RAG systems in the cloud.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children; to earn the
appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of
false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in
others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a
healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
― Bessie Andersen Stanley
And… Ralph Waldo Emerson

Language: Process text and learn how to recognize what users want
<click>
Knowledge: Tap into rich knowledge amassed from the web, academia, or your own data
<click>
Search: Access billions of web pages, images, videos, and news with the power of Bing APIs
Why choose these APIs? They work, and it’s easy.
<click>
Easy: The APIs are easy to implement because of the simple REST calls. There’s a common way to implement, and you can get started with all of them for free simply by going to one place, one website, www.microsoft.com/cognitive.
Flexible: We’ve got a breadth of intelligence and knowledge APIs so developers will be able to find what intelligence feature they need. And, importantly, they all work on whatever language, framework, or platform developers choose. So, developers can integrate into their apps—iOS, Android, Windows—using their own tools they know and love.
Tested: Tap into an ever-growing collection of powerful AI algorithms developed by experts. Developers can trust the quality and expertise build into each API by experts in their field from Microsoft’s Research organization, Bing, and Azure machine learning and these capabilities are used across many Microsoft first party products such as Cortana, Bing and Skype.
Transition: When it comes to real-world applications for Cognitive Services, the sky is the limit! Let’s look at some examples.

Alexa’s genesis was born through Jeff and Amazon’s leadership team dreaming of ways to make life easier… discussing how consumers will connect with the everyday tasks of life, w/ or w/o a device… at little or no cost to the customer.
Similar to the way computing changed how customers gathered information and connected with customers across the world; or the way cloud computing changed how we manage our data – we believe voice technology will change the way consumers interact with your product.
You can imagine a world where we are making dinner reservations while driving to a restaurant, asking for the best wine pairings when driving to the store, or controlling the news through voice while driving into work.
The kitchen is where a lot of Echos live today; customers are asking for recipe ideas, controlling their entertainment (w/ music and podcasts), setting timers, etc. all in a hands-free way.
Of course the connected home is already a huge industry; and customers can set alarms, control their lighting, heat and garage door openers w/out having to open up their laptop or find their phones.
We feel confident that those visions already are, or are ever closer to being a reality because of voice technology.
As you can tell we believe voice is a huge part of the future and think its pertinent for you to be thinking about how your product will connect with customers through voice right now.

As we work with brands, we encourage them to familiarize themselves with the platform and think about building Skills and letting them evolve through a Crawl > Walk > Run Approach.
Its important to start by thinking of the main functionality your product provides.
How could that translate to a voice forward approach where a screen is not the main interaction. We are use to building for a screen, but what happens when that is not present?
We should imagine that north star scenario where voice is as advanced as your web/mobile/tv experience; however its also important to do something simple that still provides a lot of utility and hits a home run in functionality from the start.
Think of this approach as a versioned experience that allows you to get your foot in the door and the continue to build on top of that foundation.
Crawl
What is your MVP? What experience can you use as a gateway to establish a presence for your brand on the platform and to allow it to flourish. And what allows you to get there today — and be first to market?
Walk
Where can you take that MVP to add content and functionality that extend its capabilities and leverage even more of the platform’s features and, injecting even more power into the voice experience for your brand.
Run
Take the training wheels off....how can you push the platform and extend its gravity within your digital ecosystem? The possibilities are endless…
