Travelport, a B2B Travel Commerce platform enterprise company, has many custom-built enterprise applications. Monitoring and the concept of Application Performance Management (APM) as a whole was not part of the company DNA. Late delivery and poor performing applications prompted Travelport to look more closely at the maturity of its development and monitoring practices and of existing solutions. The company took an ambitious effort to adopt a “new” unifying tool strategy combining APM and analytics, and overcome cultural barrier to bring development and monitoring teams close together. If you are an ecommerce enterprise with customer-facing and custom-built applications, join this session to get insights into:
-Why we chose the road towards unified application monitoring strategy and overcoming common challenges most organizations wrestle with
-Why log analytics weren't enough

Cloud computing is a better way to run your business. Instead of developing, maintaining and running your content management applications yourself, you access everything you need through the web. You just log in, customize it, and start using it. That’s the power of cloud computing.
Reimagine Your Business in a Digital-First World with MicrosoftPerficient, Inc.
Digital. The word is permeating every organization and industry today. Digitally transforming your business is increasingly critical to continued growth, but the path to digitalization isn’t always well-defined. What does reimagining your business in this digital age really mean?
You should be assessing your capabilities around the four “megatrends” of cloud, mobile, social, and analytics development, and creating a strategy and a road map to improve and differentiate core capabilities leveraging these digital technologies.
Our webinar demonstrated how you can use Microsoft technology to create a holistic digital transformation across the enterprise, and embrace the four megatrends to increase productivity, improve customer service, expand market share, and ultimately, increase revenue.

The People Pillar of Cloud Adoption: Developing Your Workforce & Building Dig...Amazon Web Services
A successful cloud-transformation journey incorporates three pillars: people, process, and technology. Far too often, organisations focus on process improvements and technology implementation, but ignore the human aspect. Many leaders acknowledge that the first two are easy to modify, while influencing culture is more difficult. This session covers best-practice methods meant to empower customers to address this challenge. Learn about roles and responsibilities germane to the transition and post-cloud adoption phase. Assess your organisation’s gaps among the requisite skills and competencies, build effective training models, and shape an effective DevOps culture.

xRM is the natural evolution of CRM. Businesses are expanding their use of new generation CRM solutions to manage a wider range of scenarios, including asset management, prospect management, citizen management, and many more.

The purpose of this session is to understand Microsoft's CRM strategy and how you get to market first with world class business solutions.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

7. Stormy relationship: Business vs. IT
Global research shows 37 percent of technology budgets now controlled outside of IT
departments; 79 percent of C-level executives believe they can make better
and faster decisions without the involvement of IT
Business ignores our
suggestions/constraints
Business can’t make up its
mind as to what it wants
IT is stubborn and
uncooperative; only wants to
play with new technologies
We pay the bill, IT needs
to serve us
IT can’t get anything done,
comes up with excuses
Business does not care about
providing necessary support,
and addressing technical debt
Business does not appreciate
the work we do
IT doesn’t understand
our needs

9. Rigor
Agility
Business-led Salesforce Implementations:
• Great early agility, followed by mounting
complexity, and, sometimes, chaos
• Often without structure, or planning; may end up
with too many orgs, or sky-rocking process and
technical complexity.
Legacy
IT-led Salesforce Implementations:
• Attempt to copy existing legacy processes and
methodologies to a new platform
• After an initial promise becomes “just another
platform” in the enterprise
Conflict : Agility vs. Rigor
10. Rigor
Agility
Salesforce Implementations led by a true
partnership between Business and IT
● Alignment on Business Goals
● True partnership between IT and Business
● Repeatable processes
