A successful Software Asset Management (SAM) program has many aspects to consider and does not stand alone from other organizational Service Management practices.
Structured Approach to Solution ArchitectureAlan McSweeney
The role of solution architecture is to identify answer to a business problem and set of solution options and their components. There will be many potential solutions to a problem with varying degrees of suitability to the underlying business need. Solution options are derived from a combination of Solution Architecture Dimensions/Views which describe characteristics, features, qualities, requirements and Solution Design Factors, Limitations And Boundaries which delineate limitations. Use of structured approach can assist with solution design to create consistency. The TOGAF approach to enterprise architecture can be adapted to perform some of the analysis and design for elements of Solution Architecture Dimensions/Views.

Solution Architecture And (Robotic) Process Automation SolutionsAlan McSweeney
Automation is a technology trend IT architects should be aware of and know how to respond to business requests as well as recommend automation technologies and solutions where appropriate. Automation is a bigger topic than just RPA (Robotic Process Automation).
Automation solutions, like all other technology solutions, should be subject to an architecture and design process. There are many approaches to and options for the automation of business activities. Too often automation solutions are tactical applications layered over existing business systems
The objective of all IT solutions is to automate manual business processes and their activities to a certain extent. The requirement for RPA-type applications arises in part because of automation failures within existing applications or the need to automate the interactions with or integrations between separate, possibly legacy, applications.
One of the roles of IT architecture is to always seek to take the wider architectural view and to ensure that solutions are designed and delivered within a strategic framework to avoid, as much as is practical and realistic, short-term tactical solutions and approaches that lead to an accumulation of design, operations and support debt. Tactical solutions will always play a part in the organisation’s solution landscape.
The objective of these notes is to put automation into its wider and larger IT architecture context while accepting the need for tactical approaches in some instances.
These notes cover the following topics:
• Solution And Process Automation – The Wider Technology And Approach Landscape
• Business Processes, Business Solutions And Automation
• Organisation Process Model
• Strategic And Tactical Automation
• Deciding On The Scope Of Automation
• Digital Strategy, Digital Transformation And Automation
• Specifying The Automation Solution
• Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)
• Sample Business Process – Order To Cash
• RPA (Robotic Process Automation)

Enterprise Architecture Governance: A Framework for Successful BusinessNathaniel Palmer
Enterprise Architectures play an important role supporting business transformation initiatives. Enterprise Architecture Governance (EAG) provides a structure for defining relevant strategies and compliance processes. This Level 3 Communications case study presents a detailed framework composed of three essential components of EAG:
1) Organizational Accountability must be clearly defi ned for all EAG aspects, and executive sponsorship is essential. Level 3 formed an executive steering committee with broad representation, preventing EAG from becoming an IT-only initiative.
2) Strategy Defi nition provides the roadmap for business transformation initiatives. Architectural guiding principles defi ne values and offer input into strategies, end states define where the company is going, and roadmaps document how to get there from.
3) Compliance Processes ensure that development initiatives are in alignment with the strategic direction. Level 3 has created a framework that gives each development initiative an architecture rating that indicates its compliance level.

Didasari bahwa meskipun kamu mungkin yakin sepenuhnya tentang manfaat Scrum, kebanyakan masih sulit buat kamu untuk meyakinkan manajer atau boss dikantor untuk membuat perubahan pada proses yang sudah biasa.... Karena Eksekutif secara alamiah biasanya menolak risiko, wajar jika mereka menyukai status-quo dan kepastian, dan mereka (mungkin) melihat Scrum sebagai sebuah risiko daripada solusi.
Padahal, satu penyebab utama kegagalan Scrum adalah kurangnya dukungan dari Top Managemen. Tidak mudah memang untuk mendapatkan support dari mereka, terutama karena mereka memiliki pengalaman pengembangan software secara waterfall selama bertahun-tahun.

Making the Case for Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS)Axway
Running your business likely involves a triple-digit number of applications, a double-digit number of unique data sources, and a complex mix of deployment models.
An iPaaS Integrated platform as a Service is designed to address these challenges, by providing the technical means to manage APIs, orchestrate services, and process events. Research shows that cloud-based solutions – such as an integration platform-as-a-service – are currently favored over on-premises solutions, by a factor of nearly 3 to 1.
Aberdeen research fellow Derek Brink is revealing new findings on how iPaaS is changing data integration management for some of the most successful companies.

Attend this session to learn about the 4 key pillars for building enterprise solutions and how the BlackBerry platform helps you solves the problems associated with building applications in the enterprise
I've been building APIs for a long time now and it is becoming ever more common for server-side developer thanks to the rise of front-end JavaScript frameworks, iPhone applications and generally API-centric architectures. On one hand you're just grabbing stuff from a data source and shoving it out as JSON, but surviving changes in business logic, database schema updates, new or deprecated etc gets super difficult.
This talk will outline the common pitfalls developers get trapped in when building APIs and outline methods to avoid them, including naming stuff badly then having to rename everything, when and how to use POST/PUT/PATCH, data structures, DDoSing yourself because pagination, picking your authentication system and all sorts of other stuff.
Value Mapping with Fewer Dollars and more Sense - Natalie Warnert Agile2016Natalie Warnert
Prioritization of work is hard across all levels of the organization. When we focus on feature value, often the first indicator of value is dollars versus effort expended. But what about value that is not realized through dollars? Our customers do not only think in dollars.
By expanding the definition of what value can truly mean, we can normalize, rationalize, and quantify value in new and different ways that make sense to all of our customers. We can assess value across programs as well as engage team members and stakeholders through interactive activities. In a way, it’s like relative sizing to drive values that appeal to many different consumers of your product.
Natalie first demonstrates traditional value estimation (dollars) and the resulting feature map/prioritization. Then, we look at other types of value realization through a team or program level activity using common customer sense. The activity provides participants with hands-on experience estimating and mapping feature value sans dollars on a level playing field. This gives Product Owners and teams a better baseline to align enterprise and program roadmaps with their own team or product priorities - and most importantly what the customer actually values - dollars aside!
Why true digital transformation must take place across the entire banking ent...Epsilon Marketing
In the global omnichannel world we live in today, financial institutions are hindered by their disparate and siloed systems.
The rise of online banking has produced a massive shift in the way people engage with their money, bill paying, and most importantly, their banks. Today’s consumer is connected more or less 7x24x365 via mobile devices and WiFi in their cars. Banking and insurance companies are struggling to shape their online and digital engagement to match the expectations and desires of the consumers. They need to transform so that they can better understand their consumers.
With this focus on digital transformation, the financial institutions must focus on producing an enterprise-wide solution that enables the business to find, engage, convert, cultivate and expand their relationships efficiently.
Join us as we explain how organizations are successfully transitioning to enterprise-wide digital transformation.

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:

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
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.
