Ecobank implemented an enterprise architecture strategy across its operations in 32 African countries to improve efficiency and reduce costs. It selected an operating model of unification to standardize business processes and IT platforms. This involved first implementing a standardized technology infrastructure and then optimizing core systems like the Tieto Card Suite for centralized card management. The goal was to eventually achieve a modular business architecture. Regular executive reviews ensured the enterprise architecture efforts remained aligned with Ecobank's strategic objectives of improved risk management, customer service and capacity building.

The data warehouse is intended to support analysis by making the right data available to the right people in a timely fashion. But conditions change all the time, and when data doesn’t keep up with the business, analysts quickly turn to workarounds. This leads to ungoverned and largely un-managed side projects, which trade short-term wins for long-term trouble. One way to keep everyone happy is by creating an integrated environment that pulls data from all sources, and is capable of automating both the model development and delivery of analyst-ready data.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear data warehousing pioneer and Analyst Barry Devlin as he explains the critical components of a successful data warehouse environment, and how traditional approaches must be augmented to keep up with the times. He’ll be briefed by WhereScape CEO Michael Whitehead, who will showcase his company’s data warehousing automation solutions. He’ll discuss how a fast, well-managed and automated infrastructure is the key to empowering faster, smarter, repeatable decision making.

BizFlow - BPM at Jardine Lloyd Thompson for Sales, Document Handling, Custome...Garth Knudson
As far back as 2004, JLT EB started using business process management (BPM) to streamline a limited set of business operations. Use was confined to about 30 people in a “model office”. During that same time period, JLT acquired Profund, a leading provider of pension administration software in the UK. Customers included both in-house and third-party administrators. Profund had seen opportunities to expand its pension fund administration solutions into specific areas of process automation while helping customers to simplify the overall user experience. Deciding to use the current BPM tool, the company developed outward facing solutions that rolled out to end customers in 2007. BPM usage at JLT EB and Profund grew to about 300 users.
Between 2007-2010, JLT made more than 20 acquisitions globally across the group. JLT EB operations quickly became highly complex, distributed and paper-based. Employees were handling millions of documents annually covering Pension Administration, Payroll, Defined Contributions, Actuarial, Health and Risk, among other requests. Processes treated more than 16 million workflow elements, 300+ million rows of table data and 15 million SharePoint documents. The BPM solution covers 14 active offices in Europe and India, off-shoring and massive amounts of regulations. The company knew that in order to continuing growing at the same speed while containing costs, it would have to do more with less.
JLT EB accomplished its goals of increased revenues with lower costs with continual investment in BPM. JLT EB has worked with BizFlow and used the BizFlow BPM software to streamline >200 processes. From an ROI standpoint, this work has provided a key business component, contributing to JLT EB’s growth in trading profit by 50% in the last financial year. Revenue growth is enabled by more flexible solutions that can be highly tailored to internal client needs as well as end-customer engagements. Cost cutting is enabled through the use of process automation tied together with effective scanning, document handling and rule-based routing. Paper is largely removed, deadlines hit, and governance accomplished.

In user-centered design and marketing, personas are fictional characters created to represent the different user types that might use a site, brand, or product in a similar way.[1] Marketers may use personas together with market segmentation, where the qualitative personas are constructed to be representative of specific segments. The term persona is used widely in online and technology applications as well as in advertising, where other terms such as pen portraits may also be used.
Personas are useful in considering the goals, desires, and limitations of brand buyers and users in order to help to guide decisions about a service, product or interaction space such as features, interactions, and visual design of a website. Personas may also be used as part of a user-centered design process for designing software and are also considered a part of interaction design (IxD), having been used in industrial design and more recently for online marketing purposes.
A user persona is a representation of the goals and behavior of a hypothesized group of users. In most cases, personas are synthesized from data collected from interviews with users. They are captured in 1–2 page descriptions that include behavior patterns, goals, skills, attitudes, and environment, with a few fictional personal details to make the persona a realistic character. For each product, more than one persona is usually created, but one persona should always be the primary focus for the design.

Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
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.

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!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
