Software investments are now shifting from cloud–first to cloud-only. It is predicted that through 2017, 80% of the CIOs will be pressurized to evaluate cloud migration possibilities. While cloud migration poses a set of problems, management of these applications on cloud poses a completely different set of challenges - time and effort involved, risks, cost of operations- all need to be evaluated.
Microland cloud services help businesses simplify their cloud journey, become more agile, compete more effectively and replace outdated datacenters and applications.
This report finds that companies continue to look to the public cloud for more and more of their IT workload. Nearly 8 of 10 surveyed stated they intend on operating a hybrid cloud. The top concern with this rapid progression to multiple clouds is the ability to manage IT and cloud costs. However, most of those surveyed admitted they don’t do a good job of tracking or managing costs.
Organisations fear the loss of control over their data when migrating to cloud. The biggest challenge encountered when moving the database from traditional servers to cloud is to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data. Cloud not only enhances data security but acts as a tool to save space,
time, power and money.
Cloud Computing Stats - Cloud in the EnterpriseCloudUniversity

Individuals and small businesses have been quick to board the cloud computing train. Enterprises, on the other hand, have lagged a bit behind. However, it seems that big businesses are finally finding their way to the cloud. Here are some statistics about cloud in the enterprise today.
Over the course of the last few years, there has been a massive paradigm shift when it comes to viewing sustainability and business. An example of this shift is well illustrated by two Economist articles. Four years ago, in 2005, the Economist argued in support of Milton Friedman’s view that “the business of business is business” implying that Corporate Social Responsibility practices squandered shareholder value. This is significant if you look at a much more recent article, published just last year, where they recognize that looking at your business through the lens of sustainability is actually just good business.

A recent survey reveals an interesting trend: the majority of CFOs want to provide greater and more strategic value to their organizations. Unfortunately they're stuck managing inefficient accounting processes. But in 2013 there is hope. Thousands of organizations are taking advantage of cloud computing, which changes the game for CFOs by eliminating drudgery, automating manual processes and delivering unprecedented visibility into business performance -- freeing time and providing rich information that CFOs are using to fulfill their role as business leaders. Learn how CFOs are now able to boost productivity, accelerate competitive response, free up IT and capital resources as well as easily and cost effectively scale the function while utilizing the cloud.

How to Build a Cloud-Based Digital Transformation OfferingJason Bloomberg
For any Cloud company used to selling into the IT department, enterprise Digital Transformation initiatives can present a unique set of challenges. The focus of such Digital Transformation efforts typically centers on adding mobile and social touchpoints to an enterprise's existing Web efforts. However, such initiatives are frequently driven by marketers or other non-technical people, and often intentionally bypass IT.
The Digital professional may have some awareness of how their initiatives can leverage the Cloud, but often at a superficial level. Once the discussion turns to the complexities of Hybrid Cloud and integration with legacy assets, however, confusion often sets in. This session will help to connect the dots for Cloud-centric firms who want to sell to the Chief Digital Officer or other Digital professional.
Attendees of this session will:
* Learn what "Digital Transformation" means to enterprise business buyers
* Understand the challenges Digital professionals have when considering Cloud-based products and services
* Hear practical advice for presenting Cloud-based offerings that support Digital Transformation initiatives.

This presentation was originally presented at the CloudDevelop Conference in Columbus, OH on August 26th, 2016.
Cloud computing is an important resource that has gained growing support among small and midsize businesses worldwide. These businesses are attracted to the cost-effective competitive benefits the cloud affords to smaller business. By providing access to tools that otherwise would be unavailable to them, cloud computing enables smaller firms to become more agile, operate more efficiently, and compete and grow against larger-sized firms.

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.

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.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
