Best Practices in Implementing Oracle Database Security ProductsEstuate, Inc.
Information is the world’s new currency. Databases are the digital banks that store and retrieve valuable information. The growing number of high-profile incidents in which customer records, confidential information and intellectual property are leaked, lost or stolen has created an explosive demand for solutions that protect against the deliberate or inadvertent release of sensitive information.Oracle is the global leader in relational database technology, and has built a rich set of database security products and database features within its product portfolio.
Estuate helps major wireless telecom save tens of millionsEstuate, Inc.
A major wireless telecom wanted to curb data growth and reduce hardware and storage costs across its enterprise. After years of accumulating transaction records, the telecoms databases had become difficult and costly to maintain and operate. Estuate and IBM worked together to implement IBM Optim Solutions and enhance the telecoms data governance function.
Ready To Make The Move To Oracle Release 12Estuate, Inc.
In as quickly as 2-4 weeks, Estuate will help your organization upgrade one operating unit to Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) R12, providing the basis for your remaining R12 upgrade. Using the Rapid E-Suite solution, we will extract your current configurations and setups from your 11i environment in a secure process, and assist you in transforming the 11i configurations into R12 formats. Once configured, we’ll inject these configurations into a fresh R12 instance.
The world-class functionality in Oracle enables our clients to migrate their applications written using other databases, such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase in a matter of weeks. Migrating databases and their accompanying applications is not a minor business undertaking.
Estuate - Control Application Data GrowthEstuate, Inc.
Data growth is a significant challenge for most Fortune 1000 companies. The drivers of data growth are organic business growth, mergers and acquisitions, data retention requirements and something the author of this white paper refers to as the “Data Multiplier Effect.”
Integration of Oracle EAM with Oracle AutoVueEstuate, Inc.
Estuate’s Work Order Print Service solves the work order printing challenge, consistently rated one of Oracle eAM customers’ biggest challenges, by enabling easy printing of work order reports and related attachments stored in eAM. A company is only as good as its infrastructure. Regardless of size or purpose, business processes and services within a company rely heavily on the dependability of assets and their impact on everyday business processes.
Estuate implemented the IBM Optim Data Growth Solution, retired the company’s unneeded instances of Oracle E-Business Suite, archived all the data from the applications, and delivered a reporting capability for the retired data.
Estuate provides end-to-end implementation and management of leading enterprise application products. We specialize in the full Oracle E-Business Suite and IBM’s Optim products—Data Archiving, Data Masking, Test Data Management and Decommissioning.
Five Characteristics of a Good Oracle Exadata Implementation PartnerEstuate, Inc.
When companies want to implement powerful software, they need to implement powerful hardware. That’s a rule that will probably never change—so companies have come to accept it. What they’re still wrestling with is the fact that there needs to be a connection between the server and the hard disk.
Enterprise applications and databases do not just help in running the business - they are your business. And every year, they grow in size and complexity, making them harder to manage. Uncontrolled data growth threatens application performance and service level agreements, increases maintenance costs, and exposes enterprises to legal liability for data privacy and security.
Estuate expertise in proven Oracle BI methodologies mitigates key risk factors from your business intelligence implementations. Estuate can redefine your BI strategy and deliver cost effective deployments and adoption.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

1. YOUR ENTERPRISE DATA
MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN EDM SOLUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION PARTNER
INTRODUCTION
Have you begun to see the value of Enterprise Data Management? If so, perhaps you’ve decided that simply buying
more hardware is no longer a viable option for your IT department. Despite the ever-falling cost of hardware, each new
machine you add will increase your labor, power, and cooling costs over time.
Perhaps your company is also suffering from the effects of data cholesterol—a situation in which the excessive buildup
of data leads to sluggishness across production systems. Data cholesterol causes slower response times for queries,
lengthens testing and reporting, and ripples through everything you do in IT—forcing you to use more labor to support
your infrastructure.
And if your company is like most, you’re doing business in an increasingly stringent regulatory environment. If you keep
huge volumes of data around, you’ll have to make it available in the event of litigation or regulatory audits. Why not pare
down any unneeded data and avoid these unwanted complications?
The central goal of EDM is to establish a set of repeatable, documented processes that help your organization make
informed data management decisions. But before you launch your EDM project, there are two things you should
consider:
FIRST, FIND A SOLUTION THAT MEETS YOUR NEEDS
At a high level, your company is pursuing EDM because you want to manage data growth, non-production data, data
privacy, and application retirement. But you may also seek to:
Make information-based decision making a core part of your corporate DNA.
Drive changes in business outcomes by leveraging information effectively.
Maintain an enterprise view of information across applications, data stores, and channels.
Help your executives focus on analytical capabilities as a core competency.
Imbed quantitative analytical and intelligence capabilities in your company culture.
Become an established market leader that wins through better insight and intelligence about customers.
Manage data proactively in a lifecycle with a corporate data repository.
2. SECOND—AND EQUALLY IMPORTANTLY, FIND A PARTNER THAT CAN IMPLEMENT YOUR
CHOSEN SOLUTION EFFECTIVELY.
The benefits of working with the right partner include:
Predictability in your implementations and upgrades, thus lowering your risk.
Transparency throughout projects, so you know your project status each step of the way.
Alignment of your IT plans with your solution vendor’s product plans.
Quick turnaround on core product issues and enhancement requests.
Effective knowledge transfer to your IT staff and end users, optimizing their productivity.
Practical guidance in planning product upgrades.
Quick implementation at a reasonable price.
Let’s look at the criteria for finding a solution and implementation partner that meet your needs.
