IBM Connections as a universal Intranet / Extranet platform - Felix Binsack &...LetsConnect
IBM Connections is a product, a platform with a comprehensive SDK and becomes a brand for most IBM collaborative products. IBM Connections can house custom widgets for legacy applications (including Notes). Furthermore IBM Connections is an eco-system with more and more solutions that run on IBM Connections or are integrated with IBM Connections. The session gives an overview of the speakers choice of the best enhancements and companion products to IBM Connections.
Many companies decide to use their Internet Web Content Management System for their Intranet too. Web Content Management Systems are excellent in top-down communication. IBM Connections is excellent in peer-to-peer collaboration. Using separate platforms for communication and collaboration causes content overlap, fragmentation and inconsistencies and confronts users and authors with difficult choices: where to publish and where to search content. Governance problems, user frustration and lost potential are the consequences.
The Web Content Management Extension (XCC) enhances IBM Connections with classic Web CMS capabilities and thus integrates the two antipodes of an intranet, i.e. peer-to-peer collaboration with top-down communication. IBM Connections with the Web Content Management Extension XCC creates a beautifully integrated Social Intranet. Learn how to manage internal communications with IBM Connections and why IBM Connections adoption and ROI will increase with XCC.

Knowledge Workers embrace Enterprise Social Collaboration and Networking platforms like IBM Connections. The problem is, that Knowledge Workers are only a small minority in most companies. Many employees will not partici- pate in an Enterprise Social Collaboration platform, either because they are occasional users or because they are intro- verted. Separate platforms for communication and collaboration however cause content overlap and inconsistency, attention fragmentation and governance problems. With more than one Intranet platform it is practically impossible to create a ‘Single Point of Truth’.
XCC adds structure to IBM Connections and makes it thus easily consumable for new, occasional and unexperienced employees. With this IBM Connections extension it is easy to create and enable use cases for all types of users, e.g. internal communications, blue collar workers, common staff, community managers, department managers, senior managers, customers and partners. It lowers participation barriers and activates the employee base. In short: XCC helps you to get the most out of IBM Connections.

UKLUG - IBM Lotus Notes/Domino Application Development Competitive Advantage ...John Head
Some organizations are neglecting or under-utilizing one of the greatest IT assets in their portfolio today - the Notes/Domino application platform. Some are even considering re-coding Domino applications in other languages and development tools. In this session we present the business case and technical merits of Notes and Domino in direct comparison to other tools such as Microsoft SharePoint. We will put application migration and new application development head to head. Based on data collected from real-world engagements we will demonstrate the positive return on investment of the Notes platform. We will also discuss PSC's application modernization strategy and how it helps move customers from merely maintaining Notes applications to increasing their value with Domino XPages and advanced collaboration functionality. If your organization is considering a migration or is under using your Notes/Domino investment, this session is for you.

TIMETOACT GROUP - Der vernetzte und adaptive VersichererTIMETOACT GROUP
Das Marktumfeld von Versicherungen hat sich verändert. Kaufverhalten, Marktbedingungen, Wettbewerb und Technologische Möglichkeiten erzeugen einen enormen Druck. Versicherer sind gezwungen ihre Prozesse anzupassen. TIMETOACT GROUP hilft Kunden und Mitarbeiter zu "engagen", Prozesse zu optimieren und automatisieren und Versicherer Fit für das digitale Ökosystem zu machen.
Facilitate the scheduling in your company. The slotfinder enables digital appointment determination for all employees - like "Doodle" from Google. External employees can also be admitted.
The Slotfinder simplifies the often tedious determination of appointments, especially with external employees. Both small and large groups benefit from a clear appointment selection. The organizer suggests appointments – each participant indicates individually on which dates he has time. Then the fitting appointment can be selected and communicated to the group. Frequent rescheduling of appointments is reduced, a complicated phone coordination superfluous. Further participants can flexibly come to the vote later by direct link as well.
Bring top management and employees in contact. The abbreviation CxO summarizes the entirety of “chief title”, whereby the “x” is to be understood as a placeholder for the respective position.
CxO Connect enables a direct communication channel between the Executive Board and executives and thus serves as a voice for the Executive Board members. The motto is: Even the smallest voice is heard. CxO Connect makes the management level more accessible. Employees have the opportunity to participate directly and communication with the board is simplified.
The users post in their own name or in the form of anonymous posts on the corresponding CxO Connect page. The users have the opportunity to rate and comment on posts. The top rated entries will then be forwarded to the addressees at the end of the month for answering.
In the comments, users have the opportunity to discuss. The published answers can then be further discussed. The users themselves decide by their voting which contributions are relevant and should be answered. In other words, if an employee has something important to say and other users agree, then the board must respond.

Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
We describe the deployment and use of Globus Compute for remote computation. This content is aimed at researchers who wish to compute on remote resources using a unified programming interface, as well as system administrators who will deploy and operate Globus Compute services on their research computing infrastructure.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
OpenFOAM solver for Helmholtz equation, helmholtzFoam / helmholtzBubbleFoamtakuyayamamoto1800
In this slide, we show the simulation example and the way to compile this solver.
In this solver, the Helmholtz equation can be solved by helmholtzFoam. Also, the Helmholtz equation with uniformly dispersed bubbles can be simulated by helmholtzBubbleFoam.
Code reviews are vital for ensuring good code quality. They serve as one of our last lines of defense against bugs and subpar code reaching production.
Yet, they often turn into annoying tasks riddled with frustration, hostility, unclear feedback and lack of standards. How can we improve this crucial process?
In this session we will cover:
- The Art of Effective Code Reviews
- Streamlining the Review Process
- Elevating Reviews with Automated Tools
By the end of this presentation, you'll have the knowledge on how to organize and improve your code review proces

4. What Do These People Have in Common ?
Internal Communications Knowledge Worker Traditional Manager
„Employees have to be aware of
our priorities, strategy, values
and important news. Everything
important must be published on
my platform. I do not care about
social as long as employees do
not use it as a propaganda
platform. My content needs to
look great.“
„I do not care about the constant
self praise. I need Enterprise
Social Software to get my work
done and stay in touch with my
peers. Social is great to develop
ideas and exchange opinions.
My content must be created fast
and easy.“
„I do not care much about social,
if something is really important it
will eventually show up in the
Web CMS based Intranet. Social
software lacks structure. The
Web CMS is too complicated to
publish my departments
information. I use mail for
collaboration.“
5. They do not like to have separate platforms for
Internal Communications and Collaboration
with redundant and inconsistent content!

9. Focus on Internal Communications
Web Content Management Systems are made for the Internet
– Pixel Perfect Layout, Asset Management, Extensive Approval Workflows
– Multisite Management, Commerce Support / Conversion Optimization
(Analytics, Campaign & Lead Management, Targeting)
– Supply Chain Management (for Portals only)
Web Content Management Systems are too complicated for LOB
– Poor LOB Adoption
– Outdated Content
Prediction: In 3-4 years from now Web Content Management for
Internet and Intranet are going to be completely separate markets

11. Focus on Collaboration
Peer-To-Peer
Collaboration
Difficult to communicate the organization’s
priorities, strategy, values.
Difficulty to distinguish opinions and ideas from
binding / formal information and directives.
Difficulty to identify important information.
No structure, everything sorted
by last update / popularity.
12. Side-By-Side Communication and Collaboration
Confusion and Governance Problems
– How should managers communicate,
as them-selves or thru internal communications?
– Where should employees look for content,
in the Web CMS based Intranet or in Social Software?
Attention and Content Fragmentation
– Half of the employees visit Web CMS based Intranet and ignore
collaboration, the other half use collaboration and ignores Internal
Communications website.
Overlap, Redundancy and Inconsistency
– Some content is inevitably going to be stored in both platforms.
13. Enhance Communication with Collaboration
Insufficient collaboration
– Collaboration integrated into communication will never reach critical mass to become
self sustaining.
– Intranet 2.0 based on user generated content / Enterprise 2.0 will not be achieved.
For enhanced Web CMS: Insufficient capabilities
– Activity Stream / Social capabilities / Enterprise collaboration missing.
For integrated platforms: Inconsistent UI
– Users must leave communication homepage for collaboration.
– Content fragmentation, overlap, redundancy and inconsistency, governance
problems.
14. Integrate Communication into Collaboration
No content overlap, redundancy, inconsistency
Social software is more popular with employees.
User generated content grows much faster then
centrally managed content.

19. XCC – Extension for IBM Connections
XCC enhances IBM Connections with classic Web
Content Management capabilities
XCC leverages and utilizes IBM Connections for
authentication, authorization, content storage,
content approval, search, notification etc.
IBM Connections and XCC create a truly
integrated Intranet
28. How XCC Personalization Works..
Content from IBM Connections can be personalized
Personalization is based on Profile Attributes
Profile attributes can be inherited from LDAP (Passive Personalization) or
set by personal preferences (Active Personalization)
Active and passive personalization can be used together (Hybrid
Personalization)
29. How XCC Personalization Works..
Navigation (German)
Links (personalized
& aggregated)
Business Unit 1
News
Location A News
My Files
My Events
(personalized, aggregated)
Static Content
(e.g. Hotline)
Clipping Widget (e.g.
Stock Quote)
Corporate Top News (in German)
My Special Interest
Subject ABC
Subject GHJ
My Communities
ACME Germany HomepageFrank Adams
I am…
(passive personalization,
profile attribute inherited from LDAP)
• German Employee
• Business Unit 1
• Location A
I prefer…
(active personalization, profile attribute set by
personal preferences)
• Subject ABC
• Subject GHJ
My Connections…
• My Communities
• My Files
30. Available Profile Attributes
The profile attributes that can be used
for personalization can be customized
(i.e. XCC content masters have a limited
list of attributes with non-technical
terms)
31. Passive Personalization or Targeting, based on LDAP
Attributes, i.e. “Who I am”
Any LDAP attribute that TDI pushes to IBM
Connections profiles can be used for
personalization
– Business Unit
– Division
– Language
– Location
– Region
– …
32. Active Personalization, based on Individual
Preferences, i.e. “What I want”
Use editable profile files for widget
personalization
Profile extension is easy
Widget to update profile
Sample Preferences
– Special Interests
– Location
– Language
34. Custom Applications I
iFrame Widgets
– Simplest way to integrate custom web apps
– Allows Single Sign On with e.g. Domino Applications
– E.g. search Domino Applications from IBM Connections
Clipping Widgets
– IBM Connections server pulls content from external sources
– External content can be manipulated
Custom CSS
35. Custom Applications II
Custom JavaScript
– Integrate any application that supports REST
– Use proxy to solve cross domain scripting issues
JavaScript Event Handler Framework
– Supports Widget to Widget communication
Custom XCC Widgets
– Planned for XCC 9.0

Consumer Contributor Moderator Internal
Communications
Knowledge
Worker
40. 1. Increase IBM Connections Usage, Adoption and ROI
XCC streamlines on boarding of new employees to IBM Connections
All employees have a crucial reason to visit IBM Connections to access the
integrated Internal Communications
The Structured Content benefits everyone
(especially newbies and ‘silver surfers’)
Newbies discover content faster
(even if they do not yet follow other employees or communities)
XCC lowers the threshold for employees to participate in the Social
Intranet
41. 1. Increase IBM Connections Usage, Adoption and ROI
Many employees can be involved in maintaining landing pages for
business units, service units, locations and projects – those employees will
be strong IBM Connections power users and promoters
XCC supports rewarding employees for their content creation
XCC increases IBM Connections usage and adoption by 100%
42. 2. Improve Intranet User Experience
Eliminate the dichotomy between top-down communication and peer-to-
peer collaboration and create a truly integrated Social Intranet
Everything is in one place, employees do not need to choose where to
browse and search content
Communication and Collaboration are either on the same page or available
within one click
High degree of personalization
(Region, Location, Department, Branch etc.)
Excellent Mobile Experience
(integrated in Android and iOS Apps and responsive layout)
43. 3. Improve Internal Communications
Internal Communications is made social, i.e. its content can be liked and
commented (unless commenting is disabled)
Content publishing, liking and commenting is integrated into the Activity
Stream and will be noticed by peers
Responsibility can be effectively delegated to line of business
Content masters can not only create and publish content but curate content
too (i.e. publish blog entries from employees on landing pages / homepage)
Avoid content fragmentation, overlap, redundancy, inconsistency and
governance problems
44. 4. Reduce Complexity
Simplicity for Authors
– Creating content is really easy, no technical training required
(i.e. management compatible)
– Everything is in one place: authors do not need to choose between two systems to publish their
content
Technical Complexity
– No search integration required (all content is within one index)
– Read Access Management is given thru Communities, no project required
– Single Sign On for CMS & Connections is given
– Activity Stream and UI Integration are given, no project required
– Personalization is really easy, no technical project required

66. Customer Statement
"VAUDE has had an conventional intranet with a web content
management system. It worked OK for our internal communications.
However, the content from line of business outdated / decayed
quickly. We were therefore looking for an alternative Intranet platform.
As a medium sized company we wanted to avoid running multiple
platforms for communication and collaboration. We were searching
for an integrated or hybrid intranet platform that spans collaboration,
knowledge management and internal communications.
IBM Connections convinced us as a superior collaboration and
knowledge management platform. The Web Content Management
Extension (XCC) from TIMETOACT neatly integrates internal
communications into IBM Connections.”
Manfred Meindl
Manager Intranet
and Online
Marketing
67. Customer Statement
“We created an ideal information architecture that seamlessly
integrates internal communications and collaboration in an hybrid
Intranet. Our new Intranet has been perceived very well by our
employees. As it turned out, the integrated internal communications
simplifies and accelerates the adoption of IBM Connections within
the employees. The Web Content Management Extension can be
adopted to changing requirements easily. Line of business appreciates the
simplicity with which they can create and curate content to maintain their
landing pages.
Throughout the project we worked with TIMETOACT for analysis, conception,
consulting, customization and implementation. All work was achieved within
the agreed budget. Our experiences with TIMETOACT were excellent and
we can fully recommend working with TIMETOACT."

Extending XCC for IBM Connections
Communities enables community manager
to benefit from all XCC features, providing
community members access to people,
processes and knowledge in the best
possible way.
XCC as central starting point for
communities, customizable by the
community manager itself without help of
IT, is a huge step forward to engage with
community members.

“To get the most out of a social software application it should
be seamlessly integrated in the work environment of users. (…)
TimeToAct takes this trend further with their new solution out of
their IBM Connections lab: Web CMS Extension for IBM
Connections.
The Web CMS Extension for IBM Connections provides a
seamless integration of different content into your IBM
Connections platform. Through the built in applications, user
groups with access to the editorial communities can create content
which will then be displayed on a consolidated custom homepage.
External content like a corporate newsfeed or a Google Weather
widget can be offered on the custom homepage as well.”
http://www.lbenitez.com/2014/02/timetoact-releases-their-newest-content.html
75. Notes on a customers special request
Selfie Competition Widget
A company has a special event, like a new company logo, a new slogan, a new product or
something similar. Let us assume it is a new company logo.
Internal communications wants employees to hail and identify with the new logo. Internal
communications launch a selfie competition - all employees are asked to create pictures of
themselves giving the new logo a smile, a kiss, hug it or carry it to beautiful places.
Employees upload the pictures to a Connections media gallery. A new widget is added to
the companies Intranet homepage - created with XCC and IBM Connections. The widget
displays the 9 latest uploads. In the widget everyone can like the best selfies. The pictures
with the most "likes" win a small prize.
Is this not a great idea? I just absolutely love it. It helps internal communications to create some excitement for the new company logo and drive employee
engagement.
Our customer addressed us on Thursday morning with the idea. Thursday 2pm we had the go the implement the idea. Monday morning by 10:00 we were
able to deliver the custom widget.
We have been working with internal communications and marketing people for more then 16 years now. We really enjoy working with those people. They are
creative, demanding and often times under time pressure. But, internal communications and marketing are fun to work with and, when you do a good job,
they appreciate your work.
Eventually we will include the new selfie competition widget with XCC. We are looking forward to many more creative ideas. It is those ideas that make an
Intranet livelily. Anyhow: My huge thanks goes to our XCC team, particularly to the developer who checked in on Sunday morning to develop the widget.
