Be Digital or Die - Predictive Analytics for Digital TransformationFintricity
Â
A look at leveraging big data and predictive analytics for digital transformation. This deck was presented at the Predictive Analytics & Innovation Summit in London. 10th May 2016, by Alpesh Doshi, Founder of Fintricity.
Marketers are learning that today's more advanced content management systems (CMS) provide flexible, full-featured and easy-to-use tools to make frequent and rapid content edits without IT involvement. Modern content management systems make it easier to improve search engine visibility and provide powerful ways to engage website visitors.
This presentation explains how Perficient's Sitecore CMS implementation optimized Perficient.com and enabled the delivery of fresh, engaging content to our visitors. Within a year of the site re-launch, Perficient experienced a 142% increase in traffic to the site, while blog visits have increased 95% and white paper downloads have increased 113%.
Align Business Data & Analytics for Digital TransformationPerficient, Inc.
Â
Your success in the digital world relies primarily on how well you manage and analyze the data coming from disparate internal systems and external channels. You need to understand how to innovate and leverage digital data to drive sales and productivity.
Existing principles driving traditional data architecture are inadequate to support the volume, variety, and velocity of this new data ecosystem. In these scenarios, information governance (master data management, metadata, data quality and data governance) becomes highly critical in terms of providing the context for operational, competitive and advanced analytics.
Companies require a data architecture and strategy that can support efficient digital transformation by unlocking the value in all data sources to provide mission-critical insights and informed decision-making.
Our experts covered:
-Five information management pillars necessary for digital transformation
-Stages of digital information maturity, reflecting the typical path of an organization implementing this new data ecosystem
-Issues, challenges, and approaches to governing this new architecture
Creating a Successful API Program to Drive Digital TransformationPerficient, Inc.
Â
API management is a driving discipline in the digital transformation movement that can unlock tremendous business value. Because APIs intersect at IT and the business, itâs important to understand how they can be used. APIs can connect inventory management with resource planning for better operational efficiency, integrate with partner organizations for increased sales, and push data to and from a mobile device for the connected enterprise and consumer. The core concepts of APIs are technical in nature, but their business applications are almost limitless.
Creating a successful API program goes way beyond choosing the right tool. The supporting components and disciplines (some tried and true and some emerging) around API management are a critical component of the comprehensive picture.
In this webinar, we discussed:
-The building blocks of a strong API program
-How to get executive buy-in
-Supporting components and disciplines of API management
-How APIs help to build a world-class digital business
How Customer Experience Drives Digital TransformationPerficient, Inc.
Â
Today, you have the ability to connect customer insights with digital technologies to transform the customer experience and deliver significant business value.
The best customer experience is one that occurs across the entire lifecycle â from unknown prospects to existing and highly profitable customers.
Customer experience spans all channels from mobile to social to in-store promotions, and when executed effectively unifies a brandâs touch points into a cohesive, differentiated experience.
Our second session in Perficientâs Digital Transformation webinar series covered:
-What customer experience is, and why it drives digital transformation
-How to plan for customer experience within the context of your digital transformation initiatives
-Highlights and case examples from industry leaders in customer experience
-How to define maturity levels to help you assess your organization's customer experience â strengths, gaps and outline next steps
Cashing in on Mobile Payments with a Winning StrategyPerficient, Inc.
Â
Is your organization ready to execute on new thinking in payments? Does your infrastructure accelerate time-to-market for new services? The boom in smart phone sales and mobile usage is changing the way consumers pay for products and gain access to new banking services.
Perficient will help you navigate these paradigm shifts and address the technologies reshaping the payments ecosystem that will drive your digital strategies. You'll learn about:
A holistic view of the payments value chain - banking and retail
A technical review of evolving payment architectures
How you can provide innovative service utilities for greater consumer adoption
Framework enablers to support rapidly growing transaction volumes
Adapting your existing payment models to support the omni-channel experience

More than 200 top technology companies trust TCI with their lead gen. please let us know if you would like to see how we can help your lead generation efforts.
The Secret to Acquiring and Retaining Customers in Financial ServicesPerficient, Inc.
Â
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 canât 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.
Product Management's Role in Digital TransformationNUS-ISS
Â
Many companies try to transform their businesses in the new digital age as they face a paradigm shift in how to deliver value to their customers. The successful ones have moved from a project-driven operating model to a product-driven one by investing in developing product management capability that will lead cross-functional teams and create changes in business models in the new digital world. Come and learn how product management can help in the digital transformation journey for your organisation.

The Future of Mobile Testing: Hybrid Code, Business Intelligence, and Device ...TechWell
Â
All organizations doing mobile development have critical decisions in commonâselecting which devices to support and how to test their products across the growing range of devices. With the segregation of device brands, organizations are forced to support at least three code bases (Apple, Android, and Windows). This makes it three times more challenging for testing organizations to keep up with the minimum required testing efforts for their products. Ardy Signey says that test leadership has to look beyond conventional testing strategies and become more innovative. Companies that already have a customer base using their mobile applications can rely on solutions like Google analytics or HPE analyzer to help them narrow the scope of devices. Itâs much more difficult for organizations just starting mobile development to determine what devices their target markets will use and how customers will use their applications. These organizations require more innovative solutions including hybrid code, business intelligence, and mobile device farms. Ardy helps you become more effective in planning a mobile test strategy for the future.
The Internet of Things is driving tremendous innovation, differentiation, and value. Buyers like Google, Samsung, CISCO, Intel and Qualcomm spent $14B to acquire over 60 IoT-related companies last year, doubling the number of IoT acquisitions, and increasing spending 40-fold. Still, Cisco reports that only 1% of potentially connected devices are actually connected. As the other 99% come online, the opportunities for IoT software are remarkable, and the value of innovative companies building that software is increasing. This Market Spotlight webcast will examine the opportunities for these companies in todayâs M&A marketplace, with perspectives from analysts, bankers, investors and CEOs.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Â
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But thereâs more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, youâll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the âApproveâ button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
Butâif the âRejectâ button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
Â
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an âinfrastructure container kubernetes guyâ, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefitâs both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Â
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.
