The ubiquity of mobility creates opportunities to develop purpose-driven destinations and experiences to make the most of every touch point. Mobile doesn’t live in a silo and the rest of your marketing shouldn’t either. The varying contexts of the mobile consumer must be thoughtfully considered when deciding which mobile commerce services to offer, which mobile technologies to support and how cross-channel engagement should consider often mobile consumers.
An optimized Mobile User Experience – from initial engagement to task completion – is critically important to usage and adoption of mobile services. The most successful Mobile Commerce solutions have services that are easy to discover, intuitive to use and enable simple completion of the desired tasks at (or in!) hand.

Consumers are smarter today than ever before. In fact, today's consumers own your brand. Their shopping expectations are higher, they make decisions faster, and they research thoroughly and independently. Consumers also know they have a lot of choice regarding when and where to purchase. Added to the mix are consumers who are increasingly technology savvy, more demanding, and are making tradeoffs by focusing on value, transparency and accountability. If retailers are unable to provide the convenience or service consumers expect, loyalty will evaporate, competitive advantage will erode, and retailers’ value proposition will crumble.
In this webcast you will discover how to satisfy the smarter consumer by providing a seamless customer experience that reaches across all touch points, spanning human, digital, social and mobile modes of access that are optimized according to customer preferences...a customer experience that delivers products and services flawlessly to keep customers coming back for more.

It Takes 2 to Make a Thing Go Right: A Content Strategist and Designer Talk M...Duo Consulting
When it comes to building mobile products it takes a tight collaboration between content and design. Mobile users are task driven, want localized information, and have multiple elements around them competing for their attention. Design can't meet the users needs by merely creating a lovely interface, and content strategy can't tailor content independent of the device constraints.
Together, Content Strategists and Designers can optimize the user experience for mobile to ensure the products are useful and usable. Through case studies, we will share our method for co-owning the product creation and putting siloed design to bed.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

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:

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).

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.
