Financial services and banking organizations are challenged with aligning sales performance with corporate goals to drive business growth. In addition to financial performance, one of the largest challenges financial institutions face today is managing the balance of meeting regulatory requirements without potentially disrupting performance.
To help your organization manage performance and risk data against regulatory reporting requirements, you need to develop an enterprise-wide governance structure to gain control over sales channel compensation programs.
In this webinar, our experts covered:
-Challenges around sales performance, Dodd-Frank and compensation governance in financial services
-Industry-focused use cases and best practices for sales performance management solutions
-Case studies of leading financial institutions implementing sales performance and compensation management
Our experts also demonstrated how IBM Cognos Incentive Compensation Management enables organizations to achieve operational efficiency and reporting accuracy, greater data transparency, reduced risk and detailed sales performance analytics.
Engage Patients, Reduce Manual Processes and Drive Key Insights with Interope...Perficient, Inc.
Information is the cornerstone of healthcare organizations, and those that can transform data into key insights have a competitive advantage. Yet, information that is stored in separate, disconnected silos makes it challenging to strategically generate business intelligence, leaving business leaders to make decisions on intuition rather than hard data.
Communication between systems is paramount, and despite industry standards such as EDI/X12, HL7, and CDA, information delivery is not effective. Interoperability is a key component to effective communication because it provides the right information at the right time to the right people, engages patients and reduces manual interactions. Perficient looks at system integration challenges from business architectural perspectives and applies technology to address them.
In this webinar, we demonstrated:
The importance of data and business processes to leverage information
The importance of governance throughout the enterprise and program lifecycle
Real world use cases where IBM technology solved complex integration problems
Perficient’s multi-tiered approach to help guide successful business outcomes
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity for Your Clinical and Safety SystemsPerficient, Inc.
Your systems are up and running. You have no issues. It’s business as usual and all is as it should be. Then, suddenly, it’s not. A flood, an earthquake, a tornado or a fire threatens your organization’s ability to continue operating. Systems are offline, critical business processes have stalled. What damage has been inflicted? How long until you can recover? What do you do in the meantime? These are questions that no organization can properly answer without proper planning and testing.
The implications of an unplanned and unprepared-for event can be devastating to a company, as well as to the patients it serves. The only way to mitigate such risks is through comprehensive planning and testing.
Sean Bernard, lead business consultant in Perficient's life sciences practice, discussed why business continuity and disaster planning are so critical to life sciences companies, and shares best practices for preparing your company for the unforeseen.

Healthcare Enterprise Data Model: The Buy vs. Build DebatePerficient, Inc.
Every mid-to-large-sized healthcare organization will at some point need an enterprise data warehouse to consolidate data from its many source systems. The first question most will ask is, “Do I build it from scratch or buy a model?”
For some organizations, the answer to this question is simple and obvious. For others, it may be the source of internal debate on whether someone else can create a model that will address their nuances. Some will argue that a pre-built model will save time and money and should be explored as an option, while others may curb discussions due to the belief that their electronic medical records vendor already has it figured out.

Frau Fedjasz stellte ihrer Präsentation einige neue Formate des CareerServices der TU-Dresden vor, welche Unternehmen nutzen können, um ihren Employer Brand zu positionieren. Wir vom Empfehlungsbund haben bereits Erfahrungen mit ähnlichen Formaten gemacht, die auch dem CareerService vorschweben. Unter anderem Kathleen Schwerdts Projekt IT-Ringvorlesung an der Universität Leipzig. Das Feedback der Studenten und auch der teilnehmenden Unternehmen ist durchwegs positiv. Insbesondere die praxisorientierte Herangehensweise vermittelte den Studenten frühzeitig einen Einblick, mit welchen Herausforderungen sie neben fundierter Methoden und Theoriekenntnisse in ihrem späteren Berufsfeld bewältigen werden. Wir empfehlen allen Dresdner MINT-Unternehmen sich das Format des CareerServices genauer anzuschauen und mitzugestalten.

The Secret to Acquiring and Retaining Customers in Financial ServicesPerficient, Inc.
Data, when leveraged effectively, can help you segment and target customers, analyze spending habits, and can create a personalized experience that builds value and customer loyalty.
Without a 360-degree view of your customers, you can’t properly target them with real-time personalized offers, advice, and other services. In addition, lack of customer intelligence creates lost opportunities for banks and insurers to cross-sell and upsell new products and services.
Our one-hour webinar covered how customer intelligence platforms can help you engage, acquire, and retain customers.

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.

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).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
