The future media agency is not an agency
20 years ago, an average media plan took around 50 decisions to make. Today, it is more like 5.000. Without an artificial intelligence, you cannot longer keep up. Let's face the truth, the game is changing, transparency counts more than trust and media agencies must re-think their business. Andreas will show you how A.I. can already be successfully integrated into the strategic media planning and how it can allow as to make smarter, data driven decisions in order to maximize ROI across our marketing mix.

Building Purchase Intent on Mobile
Since the beginning, TV has been used to build awareness and drive purchase intent. Entire companies and industries were built on that. But as users are now shifting to mobile, advertisers will need to learn how to build awareness and intent there. This has been a challenge for many advertisers and online media for some time. All the big players (from Google to Facebook) are now heavily investing in developing new solutions for advertisers to reach users at the top of the funnel (TOFU). While many new solutions already exist, advertisers and agencies have yet to find the perfect mix that will actually have an impact on the bottom of the funnel (BOFU) as well. The first companies to master the digital TOFU and MOFU (middle of the funnel) will be tomorrow's winners.
In April's edition we explored the latest innovations in the field of "Road and Traffic Technology".

A travers 24 pages, l’institut tire des insights de l’année passée pour projeter les tendances majeures en 2015. Les principaux points abordés au sein du livre blanc sont :
- L’implication d’une population de plus en plus numérique et multiplateforme
- La croissance dynamique des médias numériques et des applications mobiles
- La rupture continue du mobile dans tout l’écosystème digital
- Comment les audiences des principaux réseaux sociaux vont s’accumuler
- La transition de la publicité numérique vers la visibilité des impressions
- La croissance continue de la vidéo en ligne et l’émergence de la vidéo mobile et OTT

The digital world achieved enormous progress in 2014 as several transformative changes shaped how Americans interacted with technology and consumed media. Perhaps more so than at any other time in recent memory, changes were not merely incremental but rather seemed to represent key inflection points in the evolution of various markets and behaviors. We saw platforms collide in ways that upended existing markets, reconfigured the economics of various industries, and suggested that we are embarking on a new era of digital that will look markedly different from its predecessor.
Consider some of the digital milestones of 2014 and what they suggest about the future. This was the year that:
Mobile app usage exploded on its way to becoming the majority of all digital media activity.
Leading publishers saw mobile revenues surpass desktop revenues, signaling a shift towards mobile as the primary digital media platform.
Traditional TV ratings saw pronounced declines as Americans’ viewing habits time-shifted and moved to emerging platforms.
Digital advertising went through a challenging but important transition to transacting on impressions that are actually seen by people.
In this report, we will examine some of the most important sectors of the digital media ecosystem to show how the landscape has changed, who is leading the way, and what it all means for the year ahead – and beyond. It is an exciting time in digital and we hope this exploration of today’s key issues helps put the Digital Future in Focus.

This technical presentation given to ISBT Global Issues Committee as a Resource Conservation and Recovery tool for Recovery Systems in the beverage Industry in addition to CIP for Profit for a complete program
it is a good slide made by us for our Business Communication course's presentation. communication challenges is very useful to understand for students to have an effective learning by this slide.
This presentation is for my class to work through as teachers are on a series of PD days. It is based on a very bad One Direction joke cracked in a class about vectors.
This presentation was created for a contemporary issues/economics 12th grade Social Studies class. This PowerPoint covers global issues that are affecting the world. However, due to the amount of information, this presentation only covers health, education, and the economy in a global perspective. This was made by me and three other people in my group.

Welcome to the State of Payments 2016 by PAYFORT. For the third year in a row we’re releasing our annual report that details the world of payments, eCommerce and innovation across the Arab World.
We’ve collected data from both consumers and merchants to provide you with actionable insight you can use to create a more successful, profitable and consumer focused business.
Two years ago we released our first State of Payments report, something that evolved out of a desire to increase our own understanding of consumers in the region and share that information with the growing business community throughout the Arab World.
In last year’s report, we strive to create something that not only contained the same consumer-centric data but also presented that data in a meaningful way. We wanted to create a fuller picture that incorporated the opinions of hundreds of merchants who interact with consumers on a day-to-day basis.
In this year’s report we’ve once again re-imagined how best to share the massive amount of data that is available within the Middle East’s eCommerce sectors. To do this we have refocused the report to not only explore current trends, but also address the real issues that impact merchants on a day to day basis and share meaningful solutions for the future.
Over the past three years State of Payments has become our favourite content piece and we’d love to hear your thoughts on the report. Be sure to reach out via social media using the hashtag #StateofPayments or contact us via social@payfort.com to share your thoughts. We have also provided a feedback section within the report where you can share your thoughts.

Road infrastructure solutions can play an important part in helping cities become safer, greener, and smarter. Governments throughout the world have initiated plans to deploy technologies for Smart
City, traffic management, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and road safety projects to mitigate the
challenges faced due to rapid urbanization.3 Road safety represents measures that can be taken to reduce
the risk of accidents and fatalities for road users (cyclists, motorists, pedestrians, vehicle passengers, and
public transport passengers) in the road network of built-up urban streets, non-built-up rural roads, and major highways.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

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!
