The “Residential Gateway” concept did not get a warm welcome at IBM until the name was changed to “Inter|section Gateway” (or Service Gateway) and messaging was changed to stress the vision of an IBM-scale, multi-billion dollar business.
These slides (circa 1997) are from my early work on gateways at IBM and have provide considerable insight into the Connected Home of today.

Realizing the true potential of connectivity remains a formidable challenge for marketers. Fragmented technologies lead to data silos and workflow inefficiency. Delivering relevant and timely messages across multiple channels is, in most cases, still a pipedream. Is there hope? How does a company with a distributed marketing environment overcome the inherent challenges of compliance and localization? How does it maximize value?
Join us for a presentation with Principal Analyst Ian Michiels, as we explore how Top Performing organizations successfully address the challenges of connectivity.
• Learn how Top Performers prioritize investments in marketing technology integration.
• Recommendations to align corporate marketing and filed marketing for more relevant marketing communications.
• Find out how Top Performers identify the cost of disconnected marketing technologies and back-office operations and justify investments to fix these issues.

Mindtree's expertise in corporate banking portals.Mindtree Ltd.
Online banking in corporate banks is still at a very nascent stage. Most banks provide minimum service through disparate online channels, across product lines. A majority of them are organized as per product lines – cash management, corporate finance and leasing. Each business unit tends to have it’s own customer channel. This makes it difficult for the CIOs / CMOs to present a unified and coherent user experience. Adding mobile to the mix only increases the woes of corporate users.

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.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
