Panoptic EMC forum: Information GovernanceCommaGroup
This 3-page document discusses an information management approach using a 3-step process:
1. Assess unstructured data across file servers, repositories, cloud, and paper sources.
2. Classify data as live or aged, and business critical or informational.
3. Build a central archive managed by policies, expand the corporate repository to the cloud, and digitize paper records.
The approach is demonstrated in assessing a company's file servers, repositories, and paper records then building a central archive with retention policies and linking records to the corporate repository and cloud. The key takeaway is to assess what data exists, classify it, and start building an information management solution for active content.
The document discusses Data Domain, a data deduplication storage system that can reduce data moved by up to 95%, CPU usage by 80%, backup windows by 90%, data stored by up to 30 times, and replication bandwidth by 99%. Data Domain offers various software options like DD Boost to distribute deduplication processing and DD Replicator for network-efficient encrypted replication. It provides benefits like using less disk and resources, simple and flexible integration, resilience and fast disaster recovery.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

People fill out forms to achieve an outcome. The motivation to achieve this outcome is one of the most important factors impacting your form conversion rate.
At the same time it’s also one of the most difficult factors to influence as the ‘outcome’ is often your product or service.
Motivation can be influenced by
better communicating the benefits users receice from completing it
Using call to actions that imply value
The second most imortant factor impacting form conversion is wheter or not users have the ability to complete your forms.
Think about it ... There are many factors that are often overlooked. For example:
Can colour-blind users easily use your form?
What about people using a mobile device outdoors in bright light?
That’s why it’s important to invest in UX and UI:
Make sure the form works on all devices and browsers
Use large fonts sizes
Is easily understandable without the user of colour
Is easily readable in low light (night time) and in bright light (outdoors)
Peace of mind is the next factor.
What do we mean with this? Anything that creates anxiety or a disconnect between the user’s expectations and reality.
It’s important that visitors trust your organization, products and services. By using social proof and trust signals your making your users feel safe.
This feeling can be achieved by adding:
Testimonials
Client list
Contact information
Your form is hosted on a website that appears trustworthy
...
As a general rule of thumb, the easier your forms are to use the higher your conversion rate will be.
Eliminating unnecessary questions is a good starting point howerer there’s more you can do:
By using conditional logic you can reduce the number of questions asked
Use smart defaults, such as using the user’s IP address to suggest his/her country (travel agency website – determine departure airport)
Browser auto-fill
Ask questions that are clear and do not use industry specific jargon
The last factor is engagement.
Let’s face it .. Nobody really likes to fill out a form.
When people give you their personal information they’re making a trade-off. They believe that the outcome of your form is worth the effort of using it.
By improving the outcome or reducing the effort required to complete the form you can and will boost your fill-in rate.
That’s why you should make your form engaging. One way to do this is to make your form ‘feel’ less like a form and more like a a tool or quiz.
Here you see a recap of all the previous slides.
As a marketer it’s important to invest enough time and attention to the quality of your forms. It’s not easy to get it right.
Optimizing a form is challenging and complex. That’s why I encourage all of you to start AB testing. Find out what works best for your lead generation campaigns.
Next to AB testing, the Sitecore Experience platform also offers an out of the box feature that allows marketers to learn more about the way users are interacting with their forms.
What does it do?
Tracks all the information entered in the form.
The values entered in the Password, Password confirmation, and Credit card fields are not tracked.
This feature generates significant amounts of data. By analyzing the data you can generate insights which you can then use to optimize your form. It allows you to make data-driven decisions. For example: if you see a high number of users dropping out dropping out on a specific field, you might want to review the validations rules. Maybe they’re too strict or not in line with the user’s expectations.
How can you take this feature to the next level? By default the form dropout data is not automatically linked to a visitor profile. Adding this information to the profile of the user requires custom development from your Sitecore partner but is definitely worth the effort and here’s why.
By adding this information to the profile of the users you’re enriching the Experience database with valuable information which you can then use to:
Create lists: you could interact with form abandoners by sending them an e-mail and draw them back to your website.
Personalization: when users come back to your website you could start personalizing objects by changing copy, maybe hiding objects or adding a special promotion for this specific segment you want to target
Or there’s also a feature that allows you to auto push this information to your CRM system. The members of the contact center or members of the sales team are then able to personally follow-up on them.
Users who dropped out are valuable to your organization. The fact that they were on your website is already an indication of engagement or buying propensity. This group of users were considering to leave their personal information and making the trade-off.
By using the data you can optimize the form. By linking the form drop-out data to the user’s profile you can take it to the next level and start interacting with the user.
In the next slides I’ll take a deep dive in the other types of other information that are tracked by the Sitecore experience platform.
Sitecore is tracking a lot of information and events. When configured correctly you have a clear view on
the personal visitors characteristics
The type of user he is
In which phase of the buying cycle he is
...
You know which device a user uses and where he is while interacting with you.
At the same time personal information can be added to the profile. There are 2 ways to get this information:
Either by establishing a connection to the CRM system
Personal information that is entered in a form
The most powerful combination is to have both the CRM database and the form data working together.
Next to that you can in Sitecore register goals or outcomes. At the same time all marketing campaigns can be tracked wheter it’s online or offline.
By adding profiles to content on your website, your able to match your visitors to certain predefined categories.
The surf path a user follows while navigating the website is automatically tracked. Nowadays the Sitecore Federated Experience Manager application even allows marketers to track behavior on websites that are not build with Sitecore.
All this profile information is centrally stored in the Experience database and allows you to have one single view of the customer.
This brings me to the final part of my presentation where I’ll start by explaining the difference between declared and undeclared data.
Next to that I’ll explain how undeclared data can be used to make the lead follow-up process more intelligent and personalized.
First things first...
Declared data is data that users have explicitely provided to your organization.
On the other hand there’s undeclared data which is data that is not explicitely entered by the user. Instead it’s captured or derived by a tracking tool like Sitecore, Google Analytics, Omniture, ...
Most organizations only use declared data during the lead follow-up process. That’s in my opinion a missed opportunity.
On this slide you see the Reflection of a classic lead follow-up funnel.
All the information, the declared data, that is captured via the form is made available for follow-up.
In the current scenario the sales rep has limited information available. No contextual information has been added.
By adding undeclared data to the data entered in the form, the sales rep receives more details and information.
The engagement value tells you more about the temperature of the lead.
The pattern match allows you to know in which segment the user is
By adding the location you know where he is when submitting the form
Adding contextual information will allow your organization to better meet the user’s expecations and meet their needs and desires. The user experience will be enhanced.
To make all of this more tangible I came up with a few examples.
The engagement value allows you to quality incoming leads.
How does it work?
You attribute points to certain actions/events on your website. For example:
visitors comes back to your website the same day = 5 points
Visitor visits the contact page = 10 points
Visitor downloads a whitepaper = 25 points ...
By adding the sum of the engagement value to the lead export you could make a distinction between the required lead-follow speed. As a general rule of thumb the higher the engagement value, the faster you should organize the follow-up.
