Learn how to manage projects such as redesigns, product builds and more with this white paper on "How to use IBM Connections to manage a product build." One of Sherpa Software's resident IBM experts, Denny Russell, takes the reader through his process and helps them to understand how to "work smart and not hard" by using a social collaboration tool.
Collaboration and social applications generate a lot of information: over 80% of business data may be in email, activity streams, files, and other unstructured content that is growing inexorably. Thankfully, cognitive computing and natural language processing have the potential to help and bring unexpected insights from all that content. Come to this session to find out how collaboration tools can become even more efficient through auto-prioritization and identification of actions, the suggestion of relevant content, and a system that can actually learn from your actions to guide you forward in your day.

IBM Collaboration Solutions cognitive and roadmap update - September 2016Ed Brill
A strategic-level view of cognitive solutions and collaboration helping redefine everyday work; then an examination and an update on the Collaboration Solutions portfolio from IBM.
We’re living in the Enterprise 2.0 era and there’s no place for old communication and collaboration tools like email in our lives. Right? Then why does email continue to be the collaboration backbone for over 80% of organizations all over the world? We can hate emails, but we have to face the fact that today email is still the most frequently used tool for business people. Should Enterprise 2.0 fight email? Or is there a possibility to leverage its advantages and popularity? The presentation offers a possible solution for this dilemma.

Free Infographic: Where are you housing your data? IT Admins Weigh In!Sherpa Software
A recent survey, with 104 respondents, asked IT admins questions pertaining to their ESI (electronically stored information). Here's what they had to say!
The following is part four of an ongoing fictional story, based on a true-to-life situation. (If you would like to get caught up, parts one, two, and three are also available.) The names of companies and people are fictitious, but the situations they face are the same as those faced by many companies. Perhaps, as you read the events unfolding at Gensui Acme Imaging, you will see similarities to the challenges you face as well as ways to meet them.
Every so often we have the opportunity at Sherpa to ease back, put our feet up, dream of sitting on a beach with our toes in the sand, sipping a nice drink of our choice and watching the world go by. Oh my, how relaxing and restorative that 60 seconds can be. OK, so now that the time of idleness has passed, we had to decide what product changes we could make. So there we are, sitting in a meeting when someone said, "Hey! It's been a whole week since we've added any functionality to Discovery Attender." Once we all realized that we truly have not added any new features in 168 hours (yes, I did do the math in my head), we decided it was time to get back to work!
So what can we add to Discovery Attender? Well, to be honest, that's not a hard question because we get a lot of feature requests from our customers (thank you!) to help improve our product. Check out the "What's New" document below to get a breakdown of all our newly added features!

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.

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.

How to use IBM Connections to manage a product build
1. How I used IBM Connections to
manage a product build
by Denny Russell, Sherpa Software
www.SherpaSoftware.com
1.800.255.5155 | @sherpasoftware
information@sherpasoftware.com
2. How I used IBM Connections to
manage a product build
When I took over as product manager of a social business compliance tool, there were many things going
on; keeping it all straight was tedious. As I was still completing duties pertaining to my old job, I found that
both managing and driving the direction of a new platform required constant attention. I had to find a way
to balance all my new tasks while not forgetting about any previous work. Too many emails, meetings and
loose documents were being sent and received –maintaining it all was a daunting task.
Why IBM Connections?
For the most part, the group I was working with was already telecommuting (on an almost daily basis)
and collaborating was a big key to our new project. Along with meeting face-to-face on occasion or
holding phone conferences to catch up, we utilized the IBM Notes databases and email for many of
these tasks. I looked at the current methods in place and decided to try a Social Enterprise tool, like IBM
Connections, to organize our various tasks. After all, it was the first platform we were building our new
solution for, so it was a no-brainer. The needs we had included:
•
•
•

No data silos (in emails, loose files, individual Domino databases, etc.)
Ability to get new team members up to speed (quick access to all information that led to
decisions that were made)
Files stored in a central location (no emailing of files back-and-forth)
Web/mobile presence (computer, phone or tablet access)
IBM Connections was already up and
running in a test environment, thanks to an
IBM Business Partner. Instead of building a
new environment for production use, which
would be a bigger cost in both time and
money, we looked into using IBM Smart
Cloud. Early evaluation proved it would fit all
of our needs and would require little handson work to maintain. As we continue to
implement Connections, IBM is adding new
features and making it a more robust tool
which only enhances our use.
How we implemented IBM Connections
The social platform was fairly easy to implement into our system. First, a community was created, and we
started adding each key member of the team. As we started filling in content, we realized that we needed
to segregate some of that data to make it easier to follow and read - we didn't want it to become a
dumping ground of forum topics and files with no structure. We knew we would need some social
champions to lead the cause and drive the adoption to make this a success.
Then, we decided subcommunities would have with this goal. The following
subcommunities helped organize this content the best way by keeping each key
piece of information in its own location.
• Customers & Business Partners: This was used to document
each and every call we had with a potential customer of our product. It was also

3. How I used IBM Connections to
manage a product build
used with Business Partners who were currently working with IBM Connections customers of
their own. We wanted to know the what/why/how of IBM Connections in their environment; it
would spark product ideas and provide real-world case studies of IBM Connections.
•
Competition: The goal was to understand who our competitors were, what they offered and
where they were going. This became a critical subcommunity as we moved forward.
•
Market Direction & Trends: This was designed mostly with upper management in mind.
We wanted for them to be able to understand the current Enterprise Social Network landscape
and also to see how and why we were making specific decisions. Whitepapers, IDC reports, etc.
were all stored in the Files application, and comments/further discussions detailed the topic at
hand.
•
Marketing: This was designed to give marketing and sales all the ammunition they needed
once the product is released. Ideas could be tossed around for advertisement content and
videos. What’s more, activities could be assigned to make sure they had all they needed in a
timely matter.
Within each community, we followed some simple rules of how each Application would be used.
•
Forums were used to discuss ideas. Each topic should be in its own new post (with a link to a
relevant topic that spurred the conversation). This would ensure
that we didn’t hijack another topic, making that particular
discussion unclear. We found these were used most often to
prepare for a face-to-face meeting. Within the Forums community,
topics were thought about and discussed prior to each meeting,
and everyone was prepared to make decisions when it came time.
•
Wikis would be used for documentation. As our development
team progressed, they would create wiki documents of studies
and findings. XML Schemas, authentication models, and more
were all documented and updated as needed. That way, if a new
developer was added, they could easily find this information.
•
Files were uploaded and tagged so they would be easily found at
a later time. The product roadmap was probably the most updated
file in the system because it was built using a Mind map and
shared with the team each time it was updated.
•
Ideation Blogs were a perfect way for us to throw new ideas out
for discussion. Whether they were our own, or we got them from
one of the subcommunities (above), we could easily get a handle
on what people thought about it and how we could build it into a full feature. Ideas were voted up
or down and decisions were made more efficiently.
Challenges we faced
Utilizing IBM Connections was a bit of a learning curve at times. People had to forget about “traditional”
methods of communication and remember to post in their designated community in Connections. For
example, a few emails were sent that should have been posted in the community – shortly thereafter, a

response much like “This would probably be best suited in this forum in the ‘product’ community” would
be sent back, and the link was sent out to the original sender with the topic that was created for them.
Sometimes, a responder might hijack another topic with an idea or question of their own. Again, the same
type of response was given and a link to the new topic was included. This way, we were helping them
understand where and how to use the system. It took some time, but people realized the benefits of
collaborating in IBM Connections, and started using it for all product-related topics.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the team found IBM Connections to be the perfect blend of what we needed to keep the product
build going. Because of the mobile app, we also found participation after hours via their phone or tablet.
As they were catching up on the day’s happenings while watching TV, or waiting to pick their kids up after
a practice, they were responding and adding insight. We were collaborating from all over the place, at all
hours of the day. Work was happening at different times and places but all for the completion of a task.
We were reinventing the way our work was being done, and that’s what I consider to be progress.
