EIS-Webinar-Info-Governance-Age-AI-2024-02-27-for-distr.pdf
Many Organizations are struggling with the best way to govern and manage the use of Generative AI in the enterprise. There are many dimensions to this challenge ranging from ethical issues, data architecture and quality, legal and copywrite, operational and more.
This is why a governance framework needs to be carefully designed and put into place so the business can make the most use of this truly revolutionary technology, reduce and mitigate risks, control costs, maintain a positive employee and customer experience and most importantly, find competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Reducing Returns to Increase Margin Through Better Product Data
Improving product data quality will inevitably increase your sales. However, there are other benefits (beyond improved revenue) from investing in product data to sustain your margins while lowering costs.
One poorly understood benefit of having complete, accurate, consistent product data is the reduction in costs of product returns. Managing logistics and resources needed to process returns, as well as the reduction in margins based on the costs of re-packaging or disposing of returned products, are getting more attention and analysis than in previous years.
This is a B2C and a B2B issue, and keeping more of your already-sold product in your customer’s hands will lower costs and increase margins at a fraction of the cost of building new market share.
This webinar will discuss how EIS can assist in all aspects of product data including increasing revenue and reducing the costs of returns. We will discuss how to frame the data problems and solutions tied to product returns, and ways to implement scalable and durable changes to improve margins and increase revenue.
EIS-Webinar-Most-From-LLMs-2023-08-23.pptx
In the rapidly evolving world of ChatGPT and Large Language Models (LLMs), businesses are understandably apprehensive. Numerous potential hazards and hurdles exist such as:
Unrealistic expectations of LLMs as a magic solution to managing corporate content without requisite human involvement
Difficulty distinguishing between creative outputs and fabricated responses (hallucinations)
Decisions around training models: balancing usefulness with the threat of exposing trade secrets or other proprietary knowledge
Absence of clear audit trails and citation sources
The risk of generating responses misaligned with company policies or brand image
Potential financial burden of proprietary LLMs and related enterprise software platforms
In this webinar, we will examine a structured approach to harvest, utilize, and protect corporate knowledge resources. We will explore how both commercial and open-source large language models can be leveraged to deliver precise conversational responses without jeopardizing intellectual property.
Learn how your organization can effectively use LLM based applications for competitive advantage. Using a general LLM will provide efficiency, but through standardization. Differentiation using your corporate terminology and knowledge will allow for competitive advantage. You don’t have to deploy ChatGPT to benefit from these approaches. They will improve the information metabolism of the enterprise and pave the way for advanced AI applications.
EIS-Webinar-Silabs-KM-Content-Program-2023-06-07.pdf
In this session we will be discussing the challenges the organization faced in content usability, traceability, and findability, hindering their internal training workflows and access to critical knowledge assets.

We’ll discuss knowledge management approaches for the organization and retrieval of information, how retrieval fits in with content generation, and the challenges and opportunities it presents for the enterprise.
EIS-Webinar-MDM-Personalization-2023-03-15.pdf
The Increasing Criticality of MDM for Personalization for Customers and Employees
Master data management seems to be one of those perennial, evergreen programs that organizations continue to struggle with.
Every couple of years people say, “we're going to get a handle on our master data” and then spend hundreds of thousands to millions and tens of millions of dollars working toward a solution.
The challenge is that many of these solutions are not really getting to the root cause of the problem. They start with technology and begin by looking at specific data elements rather than looking at the business concepts that are important to the organization.
MDM programs are also difficult to anchor on a specific business value proposition such as improving the top line. Many initiatives are so deep in the weeds and so far upstream that executives lose interest and they lose faith in the business value that the project promises. Meanwhile frustrated data analysts, data architects and technology organizations feel cut off at the knees because they can't get the funding, support and attention that they need to be successful.
We've seen this time after time and until senior executives recognize the value and envision where the organization can go with control over its data across domains, this will continue to happen over and over again. Executives all nod their heads and say “Yes! Data is important, really important!” But when they see the price tag they say, “Whoa hold on there, it's not that important”.
Well, actually, it is that important.
We can't forget that under all of the systems, processes and shiny new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning lies data. And that data is more important than the algorithm. If you have bad data your AI is not going to be able to fix it. Yes there are data remediation applications and there are mechanisms to harmonize or normalize certain data elements. But looking at this holistically requires human judgment: understanding business processes, understanding data flows, understanding dependencies and understanding of the entire customer experience ecosystem and the role of upstream tools, technologies and processes that enable that customer experience.
Until we take that holistic approach and connect it to business value these things are not going to get the time, attention and resources that they need.

Accelerating Product Data Programs with Pre-PIM Software
Some product information management (PIM) tools make it difficult to change core data models once they have been set up in the system. To avoid costly rework, you can utilize a “pre-PIM” design tool as a PIM accelerator. This class of software allows you to:
**Iterate on designs before committing to a PIM architecture
Improve data quality
**Collaborate on decision-making and audit trails
**Set up metrics around product data and attribute structure
**Correlate performance measures with metrics – product data and hierarchy improvements are correlated with user behaviors and outcomes
**Integrate governance content prior to PIM load
**Decrease reliance on spreadsheets
While some PIM tools include a subset of these functions, they are often lacking in flexibility, functionality, and integration capabilities, especially around product data model and hierarchy design changes.
In this webinar our PIM experts introduce a pre-PIM software solution that enables fluid design changes while ensuring data integrity, reducing risk, increasing stakeholder engagement, and showing clear ROI on investments in product data.

EIS Webinar: The Knowledge Management Imperative - KM Essential to AI
Enterprises are increasingly recognizing the critical need for knowledge management (KM) to power cognitive AI. In fact, KM and AI are two sides of the same coin. Training a chatbot requires the same organized information that we use to train a human. When you engineer knowledge correctly, you serve the needs of people today and prepare for greater automation in the future. In fact, the long term success of the organization will depend on doing just that – especially when the competition builds high functionality bots that will produce lower costs and better customer service. Those without the capability will not be competitive.
In this panel discussion, our experts discuss examples and approaches that show how KM supports AI and how to ensure the success of your KM initiative.

Using Product Data to Drive Chatbot Dialogs - GS1 2019
Speakers Seth Earley and Dave Skrobela dive into the many ways that well designed product information attributes can drive your chatbog dialogs.
Prerequisites for Effective and Meaningful Automation
In this session Seth Earley, author of the AI Powered Enterprise, discusses how to harness the power of artificial intelligence to drive extraordinary competitive advantage.
There's No AI Without IA (Information Architecture)
Seth Earley, Founder & CEO of Earley Information Science, makes the case that information architecture is fundamental to a successful AI program.
Streamlining Information Flows In The Digital Workplace
Seth Earley, Founder & CEO of Earley Information Science and author of the award winning book, "The AI Powered Enterprise" explains how advanced concepts in information architecture, such as ontologies and knowledge engineering, are the basis for streamlined content workflows.
Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies, and AI Applications
Seth Earley, Founder & CEO of Earley Information Science and author of the award winning book, "The AI Powered Enterprise" explains what knowledge graphs are, how they compare to ontologies, and how they can be used to power AI driven applications.
How Ontologies Power Chatbots
This document provides an overview of ontologies and how they can power artificial intelligence. It begins with biographies of Seth Earley, CEO and founder of Earley Information Science, who has over 20 years of experience in data science, technology, content management, and knowledge management. The document then discusses how ontologies can be used to describe domains of information and the relationships between taxonomies, thesauruses, and ontologies. It provides examples of how ontologies have been used by organizations like the Cleveland Museum of Art for traffic pattern analysis and by Allstate for semantic deconstruction. The document argues that ontologies can be applied to challenges like chatbots, question answering systems, and conversational commerce. It also discusses
Making Data Governance Work - Think Big but Start Small
When customer experience can make or break a company, it is time to get serious about data governance. A fresh take on solving a big problem.
Predictive Analytics, AI and the Promise of Personalization
Earley Executive Roundtable for May 2016. Topic: Predictive Analytics, AI and the Promise of Personalization. Panelists are Seth Earley, EIS; Julie Penzott, Amplero; Adam Pease, Articulate Software. Host: Dino Eliopulos, EIS
The Business Value of Metrics Driven Information Governance
Governance is the glue that holds various content, knowledge and data management initiatives together. It is increasingly necessary as a component of customer experience and marketing automation and integration initiatives. The challenge is that governance is not an exciting topic and it is difficult to get participation and buy in at the correct levels of the organization. How do you retain interest in these kinds of necessary programs? The answer is to tie governance to measurement of program and project progress, success and operations. Once governance is aligned with objectives and clearly defined measurement, the organization will focus the correct level of attention and governance will be successful.
This webinar will cover the challenges associated with data governance and the business impact of poor data quality on digital marketing programs and knowledge management systems. Expert panel members will discuss real-world examples of data governance best practices, how to avoid the common pitfalls and how to put a framework for a successful metrics-driven governance process in place.
Internal Collaboration and Customer Engagement
Engaging with customers and providing an excellent customer experience depends on several capabilities:
having the right customer facing tools and technologies,
integrating internal sources of customer information to provide a clear picture of who they are,
and providing content needed to solve problems and meet customer needs in the context of their task.
The last is particularly challenging and requires that marketing organizations remove sources of friction in the content creation and management process.
In this month’s executive roundtable, we will discuss how improvements to search, content processes and data quality can all be achieved through a multi-faceted program to streamline knowledge management and collaboration and metrics that tie together seemingly disparate processes – such as customer satisfaction scores with data quality.
OK So Enterprise Search is "Janky" - Now What?
Search for the enterprise seems to have hit a wall. Bad search is the top complaint of users interacting with their internal data. Meanwhile, there is a seemingly never-ending flood of products, SaaS offerings and new solutions in the market all claiming and attempting to solve the problem.
In this roundtable, we will define what expectations organizations should really have about their search platforms and discuss what benefits to expect from using techniques like boosting, auto-classification, natural language processing, query expansion, entity extraction and ontologies. We will also explore what will supersede search in the enterprise.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies, and AI Applications
Seth Earley, Founder & CEO of Earley Information Science and author of the award winning book, "The AI Powered Enterprise" explains what knowledge graphs are, how they compare to ontologies, and how they can be used to power AI driven applications.
How Ontologies Power Chatbots
This document provides an overview of ontologies and how they can power artificial intelligence. It begins with biographies of Seth Earley, CEO and founder of Earley Information Science, who has over 20 years of experience in data science, technology, content management, and knowledge management. The document then discusses how ontologies can be used to describe domains of information and the relationships between taxonomies, thesauruses, and ontologies. It provides examples of how ontologies have been used by organizations like the Cleveland Museum of Art for traffic pattern analysis and by Allstate for semantic deconstruction. The document argues that ontologies can be applied to challenges like chatbots, question answering systems, and conversational commerce. It also discusses
Making Data Governance Work - Think Big but Start Small
When customer experience can make or break a company, it is time to get serious about data governance. A fresh take on solving a big problem.
Predictive Analytics, AI and the Promise of Personalization
Earley Executive Roundtable for May 2016. Topic: Predictive Analytics, AI and the Promise of Personalization. Panelists are Seth Earley, EIS; Julie Penzott, Amplero; Adam Pease, Articulate Software. Host: Dino Eliopulos, EIS
The Business Value of Metrics Driven Information Governance
Governance is the glue that holds various content, knowledge and data management initiatives together. It is increasingly necessary as a component of customer experience and marketing automation and integration initiatives. The challenge is that governance is not an exciting topic and it is difficult to get participation and buy in at the correct levels of the organization. How do you retain interest in these kinds of necessary programs? The answer is to tie governance to measurement of program and project progress, success and operations. Once governance is aligned with objectives and clearly defined measurement, the organization will focus the correct level of attention and governance will be successful.
This webinar will cover the challenges associated with data governance and the business impact of poor data quality on digital marketing programs and knowledge management systems. Expert panel members will discuss real-world examples of data governance best practices, how to avoid the common pitfalls and how to put a framework for a successful metrics-driven governance process in place.
Internal Collaboration and Customer Engagement
Engaging with customers and providing an excellent customer experience depends on several capabilities:
having the right customer facing tools and technologies,
integrating internal sources of customer information to provide a clear picture of who they are,
and providing content needed to solve problems and meet customer needs in the context of their task.
The last is particularly challenging and requires that marketing organizations remove sources of friction in the content creation and management process.
In this month’s executive roundtable, we will discuss how improvements to search, content processes and data quality can all be achieved through a multi-faceted program to streamline knowledge management and collaboration and metrics that tie together seemingly disparate processes – such as customer satisfaction scores with data quality.
OK So Enterprise Search is "Janky" - Now What?
Search for the enterprise seems to have hit a wall. Bad search is the top complaint of users interacting with their internal data. Meanwhile, there is a seemingly never-ending flood of products, SaaS offerings and new solutions in the market all claiming and attempting to solve the problem.
In this roundtable, we will define what expectations organizations should really have about their search platforms and discuss what benefits to expect from using techniques like boosting, auto-classification, natural language processing, query expansion, entity extraction and ontologies. We will also explore what will supersede search in the enterprise.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
