How to build a data-driven SAP S/4HANA Business Case using Digital MapsAkilesh Kumaran
Whether you are considering, architecting, or road mapping your transition to SAP S/4HANA, you’ll want to take some time to go through this presentation and the webinar recording where this presentation was shared to learn how you can use your existing SAP data to assess, analyze, plan, prepare, and execute a risk-free, smooth, and best possible move to SAP S/4HANA
Manual testing increases the required costs and timelines during SAP Digital Transformation. In today’s interconnected landscapes, it cannot provide the agility & rapid feedback necessary for SAP Testing & QA teams during SAP upgrades that involve customizations, enhancements, and add-ons.
Companies are now looking to spend less and automate more to reduce the cost and timeline involved in SAP testing. However, considering today’s complex landscapes, integrated processes, and future innovations, automation of the SAP testing lifecycle is just the first step. Auto-detecting process changes to execute autonomous testing based on business process criticality is the path forward.
A DXaaS (Digital Transformation as a Service) product, KTern Digital Labs, can help companies adopt autonomous testing with minimal configurations and reduce up to 80% of the overall testing effort.
Check out this document and the webinar recording of the same name on YouTube to find out how Ratna, Founder of KTern and SAP Veteran with 25+ years of Digital Transformation expertise, walks us through on how companies can rethink SAP Testing with automation.

Target DevOps Bottlenecks with Connected Lifecycle DataTasktop
Transforming your fragmented software development and delivery capability into a highly efficient DevOps machine won’t happen overnight. To deliver customer value faster, you must go on a journey of continuous improvement to connect teams, automate processes and eliminate waste from the value chain. This requires you to:
* Understand your value chain
* Connect the value chain to eliminate waste and establish end-to-end traceability
* Collect and measure end-to-end software delivery metrics
* Target bottlenecks and waste, and identify solutions using more focused metrics
The lack of visibility into these metrics is where many DevOps initiatives fall short. Much of the waste in the value chain happens at the handoffs between teams, so it’s impossible to eliminate this waste if you are only measuring KPIs within the silos.
Learn how our customers are using connected lifecycle data to guide their enterprise DevOps journeys.

10 steps to salvation: Creating digital governance that worksKate Thomas
For organisations to succeed in the digital age, they need to adopt new frameworks and ways of working. The key to doing this is to dust off and turn inside-out existing governance frameworks, reinvigorating them with more nimble ways of working. Governance is no longer a separate policy or individual decision maker. It is everyone working in digital. It is every digital touch point and policy. It is the digital strategy, the customer strategy, the media strategy, the KPI framework, analytics, and SEO.
Twenty-first century governance is the supportive mesh of digital success.

SharePoint Engage Phoenix 2017
Our SharePoint environment is a lot like many others – a SharePoint 2007 implementation that was used more as a file dump than a collaboration space. With minimal user adoption, we were never quite ready to implement 2010, with a pilot SharePoint 2010 implementation stalled out of the gate.
In the meantime, some content was put on Box and other services to address external collaboration needs. Business users needed more relevant search results, content databases had grown uncomfortably large, and access controls had become spaghetti. Fortunately, site sprawl wasn’t too bad… except that the reason for that was the low adoption.
SharePoint 2013 arrived to a perfect storm – business and technology needs to be addressed, content that needs to be brought back in-house, and user adoption that needs to be improved. Time to upgrade!
See how we approached the upgrade, the issues than needed to be addressed, and the questions that needed to be answered.

Many organizations have long term employees retiring and find themselves needing to be competitive to fill key roles. Schools are teaching new ways of working that include working as part of a team, and using Agile methods.
In this one hour webinar we will explore how hiring practices and working environments need to change in order to attract and retain top talent in today's competitive market.
You might have heard of Lean – Toyota & Boeing are among the best exponents of Lean thinking, but it’s used by almost all of the top 1000 blue chip companies to drive effectiveness. Simplistically, Lean involves studying all of the activities carried out during delivery of a product or service, improving those that add value and eliminating those that don’t. By identifying discontinuities and poorly coordinated or unproductive activities throughout the delivery team and supply chain Lean can eliminate waste and improve value.
Lean Project Management is the theme of the March 16 Norfolk Branch event to be held at the Norfolk Record Office. Here two experienced Lean Practitioners; Stephen Pearson and David Butcher, will provide you with an insight as to how Lean can help your own business and will give you some tools and ideas that can be used immediately to make a difference in your own organisation.
A smooth and effortless onboarding process is critical to customer success.
Yet, onboarding is multi-faceted. The first touches on the customer journey can be a mix of product, people, and processes, adding to the complexity of the task.
For that reason, it can be difficult to know what to prioritize, how to improve, and even where to start.
While NPS and CSAT are essential to a solid Voice of the Customer Program, Customer Effort Score (CES) has proven to be the best CX metric to measure onboarding success.
It is often not intuitive to use agile and lean startup thinking in the world of big data and analytics. You can feel far removed from users and customers and your products often have to enable people to answer open-ended questions to help solve complex business problems. Often you are the engine room of very large enterprises. We will discuss techniques and practices that we can use to stay agile under these conditions.
Please note, this talk focuses more on ways of working than technical aspects.
Target Audience: People in data-centric teams (warehousing, BI, analytics) or anyone with an interest in agile principles being applied.

SharePoint Group Therapy Expanded Edition - SPEngage Phoenix 2017Jim Adcock
SharePoint Engage Phoenix 2017, March 14, 2017
This expanded edition of SharePoint Group Therapy incudes content from the SharePoint Governance 101 session to level-set conference attendees understanding of SharePoint Governance with new interactive exercises before deep-diving into their governance issues.
What does governance mean in SharePoint? How do you get to good governance? Do you really need governance? What happens if you don’t have governance, or do it poorly?
Bring your questions and Jim will bring his experience building SharePoint governance in multiple organizations. We’ll discuss governance basics and help get you going in the right direction.
Do your users complain about the usability of your SharePoint? Do you suffer from site proliferation? Rights management issues? Content inaccuracy and staleness? Can you easily tell who owns the content of a particular site or list? Is your SharePoint out of control? Then you might benefit from SharePoint Therapy. At the very least, this class will give you a free hour of therapy, giving you a chance to vent about your (SharePoint) problems in a roomful of sympathetic listeners.
The instructor will act as therapist and help move participants past their trauma and regain a sense of control through Governance.
Since the goal of therapy is to actually make things better, you should bring your questions and be prepared to share personal experiences regarding SharePoint governance (and its absence) and aligning your business objectives with SharePoint. We will discuss:
•What problems are you having in your environment?
•What fears do you have about implementing governance?
•What fears do you have about implementing SharePoint?
We’ll talk roles and responsibilities, stakeholder involvement, when to fit your organizational culture and when to change it using both carrots and sticks – training, enforcement & business alignment.
Business alignment can be seen as the marriage of IT and business objectives. Every marriage has its rocky moments, and sometimes a therapist is needed to resolve those issues. Perhaps your marriage could benefit from a little SharePoint Group Therapy?

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Implementing PLM in the Fast-Paced, Innovation Driven Prepared Foods Industry
1. Implementing PLM in the Fast-Paced,
Innovation Driven Prepared Foods Industry
Shawn Holguin – Research and
Culinary Innovation Manager
2. Who am I?
• Research and Culinary Innovation Manager
• Graduated UC Davis, BS in Food Science
• Manage new product development, new
product launches, product improvements and
customer samples
3. Valley Fine Foods
Valley Fine Foods is a family-owned company dedicated to creating chef-inspired foods to
bring delight to every meal. We began in 1984 by creating one of the first lines of fresh pasta and
sauces. Since then, we have continued the tradition of delivering the best-tasting, restaurant-quality
products with a light environmental footprint.
4. Agenda
• Why spend the time and money to implement
ARAS?
• Discuss some struggles with the process
• How we made the system work for us
• What are some tangible benefits now?
• What are our plans for ARAS in the future?
5. Why would we do this?
• Huge investment of time and money
• Most data could not be connected
• Many places where information could be and many places where our
information should be in our old system.
– Genesis
– Filemaker
– Excel Documents
– SharePoint
– List goes on...
8. Struggles - System Development
• When problem solving
needed to think and speak in
the language of “ARAS”
• Do not try and make ARAS
conform to what you were
doing previously.
• End goal is practicality
• Think of all the data points
you are taking and isolate
each one
– Question every variable!
9. Struggles - System Implementation
• Biggest problem: IT’S JUST DIFFERENT!
• Excel spreadsheets are intuitive to most people
• New sets of processes and procedures
• Benefits of ARAS are not instant
• How and where do we input data?
• All key players needed to be involved
10. Gamechanger #1: Nutritionals
• Problems with our current
process
– Time intensive
– A lot of room for human error
– Copying the same data to different
places
• Eliminate Genesis
• Same formula used in R&D was
now being used for nutritionals,
limits human error
• Same with ingredients, all the
information was there.
11. Gamechanger #2:
New Product Launch Process
• All the information was in one place
• We were able to create a workflow that works for us as a company
• Everything is linked from R&D to Operations
12. Fruits of our Labor
• Raw Material Costs are continuously updated.
• Single point of truth for everything
• The amount of “double-checking” emails reduced significantly
• A year and a half later and the habits are now built
• Systems in place to make sure things are functioning efficiently and
accurately
• “It’s like we’re working for a real company now!”
13. Looking Ahead
• Now that we know what we’re doing, we have more ideas.
• Ideas that came not from the old way of doing things, but ideas that are
coming out of the language of ARAS.
• Seeing that some things aren’t as important as we thought, and others are
more important than we previously thought
• Gives us a good base to work off of in the future
14. Quality and Operations Modules
• Need to get quality data into ARAS
• How do we make ARAS user friendly with the work force that we have
• Leaders throughout the company will take ownership for other portions
15. Key Takeaways
• Needed a solution to manage products in our growing
business
• There were many issues with initial implementation
• Customized the system for us
• Most of RCI, Sourcing, Purchasing, Costing and Project
Management is now in ARAS
• Look forward to implementing in production and Quality
Assurance
