You've planned carefully spent a lot of time planning, designing and implemented your solution. Your SharePoint solution with all of its on-premise or cloud capabilities is ready to lunch. How about your users? One of the critical success factor of utilization or getting your return on investment of SharePoint is user adoption. "If we build it, they will come" thinking will not work in most enterprise scenarios. What do we need to do to bring people, get them to use the solution and increase the user adoption? Join this session and let's discuss this together.
According to Gartner, 70% of social implementations fail because they lack a business purpose. When it comes to harnessing the power of social software, a focus on business value is required. This whitepaper defines a strategic framework for gaining business value from social software. It outlines six successful rollout strategies. Each of the six approaches delivers different business results, and has a different level of risk. And most importantly, each has different requirements to succeed. To be successful with social software, you need to choose the rollout strategy that is best for your organization, and understand its requirements for success.
Social software lets employees connect and share in new ways, and can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your organization. But social technologies like microblogging, social networking, automated activity feeds, social spreadsheets, wikis, etc. are new to most organizations, and most IT departments don’t have experience with how to successfully implement them.
Success with social software involves a lot more than simply finding the product that best fits your needs. It involves framing the problem appropriately in the first place, defining your business goals, and choosing a rollout methodology designed to meet those goals. It involves selling your CFO, changing behavior across your organization, and more.
This paper is designed to help you learn from the mistakes of others before you, so you can avoid the common pitfalls of social software, and get fast business value.

WHY ISN’T MIDDLE EAST B2B COMPANIES SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY FIRING????Browne & Mohan
This presentation will give you a deeper insight about the Current B2B Social media trends/Challenges in the Middle East. And also provide a sturdy process framework to overcome these challenges.
How do you build a social organization? We're not talking about tweeting and posting updates on Facebook. We're talking about an organization that collaborates internally using an enterprise social network (ESN). An ESN is an internal platform designed to foster collaboration, communication, and knowledge sharing among employees.
If your company doesn’t use an ESN, consider more than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies partially or fully implemented an enterprise social network by the end of 2013, according to Deloitte analysis. This is a 70 percent increase over 2011.
We live in an age where marketing has been undergoing radical changes at such a rate that we’re still developing the best ways to accomplish work successfully. Each of the major aspects of digital marketing has developed in their own silos. Now we can gain enormous economies and efficiencies through more internal collaboration and by tearing down those silos.
In this webinar, our panelists will share:
-Company cultures that support information sharing and collaboration.
-How to identify which business areas can benefit from increased communication.
-Tips on choosing software for your company’s, department’s, and team’s needs.
-Social networks aimed at businesses.
-Ways to improve participation in enterprise social networks.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.

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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

A few steps…
SCRIPT:1. The external and internal use of social technologies have converged creating an integrated social sphere.
It is important for companies to understand how both intersect in order to harness the power of social technologies to improve connection and collaboration among employees clients and business partners.
Companies that harness the power of this new social business sphere will become more efficient and agile and gain a competitive advantage over companies that do not embrace this game changing technology.
------------------------------------------------
Team Education and Learning Purposes Only
Detailed descriptions of each area of the sphere is listed below for education and reference for the team and how to speak abou each of the areas, should you be asked. This is not part of the scripted presentation
The structure of the sphere brings together the .com and external social market channel environment (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter) shown in the outer green ring, where companies engage with clients, business partners, media and marketing analysts to build their brand and generate revenue, with an extranet environment (shown in the yellow area behind the first red firewall ring) for secure collaboration with clients and business partners, an the intranet environment (shown in the yellow area behind the second red firewall ring), that provides secure access for employees to company information, knowledge, intellectual property and collaborative workspaces. Within this intranet environment, social technologies also provide the capability for closed or private communities where groups of employees can collaborate on confidential or classified projects.
Companies that harness the power of this new social business sphere will become more efficient and agile and gain a competitive advantage over companies that do not embrace this game changing technology.
Live interactive features, including Chat and Q&A for the speaker. Their own YouTube called Show & Share.
Create an integrated digital ecosystem for employees, partners and customers on a unified digital platform; although we are many, we are one Cisco
Innovate by being a more agile and efficient organization; create something significantly new, impactful, and of value
Be at the forefront of the transformations happening in technology; creating new business models that tap into emerging trends
70% of employees use Cisco.com and Intranet (CEC)
Segue…One of the emerging trends that we are actively pursing is Convergence… on multiple levels.
Weber Shandwick, the global PR released a report in August about the convergence of marketing and communications, blending traditionally separate teams and architectures for numerous benefits. This report illustrates what Cisco has been growing towards for the past year as we seek to optimize our IT investments and improve our user experiences across disparate digital platforms.
In fact, our employees showed us back in May that there already was an overlap in the tasks they were completing on both our internal and external sites….making us concluding there would be advantages to their experience by blending the two.
Weber Shandwick report: http://www.webershandwick.com/news/article/convergence-ahead-the-integration-of-communications-marketing
Enable Employee Advocacy. Public-ready internal news can shared socially by employees to improve company brand reputation, increase credibility of corporate messages.
HP is already doing this today with HP News Now.
We will be able to do this by the end of the fiscal year
Data on the credibility and brand reputation – Edelman Trust Index – “Employee social posts are twice as credible than executive spokesperson social posts.” Shel Holtz will back you on that one.
Improve employee productivity and customer service. Employees can seamlessly collaborate with customers and internal colleagues on the same platform.
Refers to Jive communities that can be both internal and external
Reduce Duplication of Content. Product, sales and services information is often published for both internal and external audiences. Publish it once and improve quality of content and productivity.
Product data is perfect example. Was posted in multiple spots…now one place.
Operational Efficiencies. One platform means one IT team, one publishing process, and one place for employees to go for “it all.”
