Healthcare Enterprise Data Model: The Buy vs. Build DebatePerficient, Inc.
Every mid-to-large-sized healthcare organization will at some point need an enterprise data warehouse to consolidate data from its many source systems. The first question most will ask is, “Do I build it from scratch or buy a model?”
For some organizations, the answer to this question is simple and obvious. For others, it may be the source of internal debate on whether someone else can create a model that will address their nuances. Some will argue that a pre-built model will save time and money and should be explored as an option, while others may curb discussions due to the belief that their electronic medical records vendor already has it figured out.
In this webinar, we explored the pros and cons of building your own data model vs. buying one and looked at real customer use cases to help weigh the pros and cons of this critical enterprise decision. Topics included:

Driving Continuous Improvement & Value in Your Spend Management InitiativeSAP Ariba
A wise man once said Spend Management is a journey not a destination. Achieving sustained year-on-year benefits in your spend management initiative calls for a balancing act across multiple fronts – analytics, sourcing, contracts, suppliers and operational procurement. Your company may have achieved some early returns in sourcing savings or procurement compliance. But how do you keep the momentum going?
In this session, we will explore how a truly integrated source-to-settle process offers a tremendous ROI, with spend analysis driving effective sourcing, well-managed suppliers, and contracts compliantly purchased off of. You’ll learn how a successful journey begins with the vision and a solid business case, and continues through effective deployment of technology and the necessary process change management.
Learn how companies across industry verticals are leveraging ECLM to improve the creation, administration and assessment of contracts.

The Secret to Acquiring and Retaining Customers in Financial ServicesPerficient, Inc.
Data, when leveraged effectively, can help you segment and target customers, analyze spending habits, and can create a personalized experience that builds value and customer loyalty.
Without a 360-degree view of your customers, you can’t properly target them with real-time personalized offers, advice, and other services. In addition, lack of customer intelligence creates lost opportunities for banks and insurers to cross-sell and upsell new products and services.
Our one-hour webinar covered how customer intelligence platforms can help you engage, acquire, and retain customers.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.

16. Lessons Learned
Providing an understanding of who the client is and
what they wish to accomplish is key.
Be sure to repeat the objectives over again to
ensure all parties are aware of what needs to be
done. Then, follow up with an e-mail and a phone
call. Probe your audience for questions.
Different parties understand information differently.
Find the medium that works best for all parties.
From a technical perspective, integration points are
constantly changing. Keep the group well versed
on the implications of these changes and try to pre
determine any ramifications they could have on the
client.
You can never over communicate.
Cultures matter.
Change management.
