Supercharging Self-Service API Integration with AI SnapLogic
Using an AI-Driven Model for Self-Service API Integration Developers must often build new applications that pull together multiple back-end services delivered via APIs. A new mobile app, for example, may need to connect to backend ERP or CRM systems using a variety of third-party APIs, which are then integrated and delivered as a new API that provides the mobile app interface. By applying machine learning to this process, developers can greatly increase the speed and reduce the complexity of API integration and management, empowering non-developers with the benefits of API integration.
This presentation outlines the challenges of API integration in a modern cloud context and explains how developers can leverage machine learning to speed application development, reduce errors and improve security and compliance.

Assembling your cloud orchestra: A field guide to multi-cloud managementIBM
Operating in a multi-cloud environment is a reality for most organizations today. Whether it’s human resources recruiting candidates, manufacturing tracking shipments, or marketing enticing customers, business units are doing an end-run around their own IT departments to directly access services on the cloud. Instead of ignoring or attempting to stifle organizational forays into multiple clouds, IT needs to facilitate, orchestrate and optimize enterprise multi-cloud footing. Enterprises that assemble harmonized multi-cloud platforms now can magnify their business advantage while optimizing costs. But, it won’t be easy. Join the virtual event to hear how organizations are benefiting and mitigating challenges along with best practices for a successful multi-cloud management system.
Core Transformation: How Pekin Insurance Modernized Its Systems on AWS - FSI2...Amazon Web Services
Pekin Insurance has undertaken a strategic core transformation program to increase revenue and accelerate product rollout. This program requires modernizing Pekin's core systems, including policy, claims, and billing, by leveraging Guidewire Software and other insurance applications. To meet this requirement and become more agile, Pekin worked with Deloitte to devise a cloud-first strategy of shifting to a hybrid cloud model with AWS and adopting DevOps methodologies. In this session, AWS, Pekin, and Deloitte outline the benefits of running core Insurance systems like Guidewire on AWS. They also explore ways CIOs can transform organizations by converging emerging born-in-the-cloud technologies with business-centric DevOps operating models.
The question of whether to transition enterprise applications to the cloud is a valid question in most organizations. Determining which applications should go and how to maintain control once they are there, however, is slowing down the journey to the cloud.
These slides - based on the webinar hosted by leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) - cover how you can avoid the common mistakes and reduce risk in the transformation to cloud.
Why the cloud is a trend, why businesses should want it, and what the impact of cloud will be in the next few years. Presentation given by Jason Lambert.

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!

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Companies need to prepare for digitization including the Internet of Everything. By 2020, 50 billion intelligent things will be connected to the Internet. Replicating all that data into enterprise data warehouses inside your IT infrastructure would cost a fortune. So companies will need to be able to virtualize data – leaving it where it is, in the format it’s in, across all clouds, across all things – and do real-time querying centrally. To prepare for this, customers need FAST IT and software to help prepare for this new world.
But that’s not an easy task.
Confronted by digital transformation, you recognize the need to innovate more, manage risk better, and establish more agility. However, you have to do this while simultaneously running the business and hitting regular performance goals. So whether you characterize them using Gartner’s “Bi-Modal IT” model or simply by their attributes, when it comes to talking about traditional and cloud native applications, it’s truly a tale of two ITs.
On one hand, you have traditional investments in consolidation, virtualization, and similar initiatives to continually reduce risk and bring efficiency to data centers. You must support traditional systems of records and provide robust capabilities for business critical applications. This implies the need to ‘get it right’ by emphasizing high availability, stability, accuracy and predictability via highly efficient and repeatable processes (e.g., ITSM).
Unfortunately, efficiency doesn’t necessarily equal speed. In other words, efficiency alone does not enable you to adequately support the unpredictability that is progressively associated with market disruptions. Therefore, a new mindset is required. And along with that an IT organizational profile and a set of supporting IT capabilities that are radically different. Agility and speed need to be emphasized. This is a world of DevOps, agile methods and microservices…a world of failing faster, but learning and moving to the next iteration to manage uncertainty…a world of the the new application developer playing a critical role in the consumption of cloud services as the enterprise moves to digitize their business and processes.
If IT organizations fail to build their environments for speed, LOBs leaders and their developers will continue to go around IT to more easily and quickly access and/or develop those cloud native applications for their business needs and consequently give rise to Shadow IT.
In reference to the well-known “Good, Fast, Cheap” triangle…
At the Summit, Launey said that Fast is the most important part by far (and that Metapod is enabling that for them):
“It’s funny if you look at what any business needs these days…if you’re doing it all with information…you need speed. That’s what everybody craves.
“If you give somebody enough Fast, they can make their own Cheap. They can get their product to market quickly. They can respond to market demands and changes…
“You can make your own Good by shrinking your dev cycles. You can change things all the time by only changing little bits each time and moving to more continuous integration and delivery models. So product quality goes up.”
“If you just give somebody the Faster-lovers pizza with an extra helping of faster on top of it, they’ll go make their own Good and their own Cheap.”
