This document discusses how digitizing paper documents and implementing document management systems can streamline workflows and improve productivity. It notes that while digital processes are faster, many organizations still rely on paper documents, which leads to wasted time searching for documents and rekeying data. It then provides questions to help identify areas where digitization could help by reducing processing time, data entry errors, lost documents, difficulty tracking documents, and paper storage space. Examples are given of how scanning technology and document management software can automate workflows by capturing, storing, retrieving and sharing digital documents. Customer testimonials show how these systems have reduced processing times and improved access to information.

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).

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.
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.

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.

7. WHEN WE THINK
ABOUT WHERE AND
HOW THIS HAPPENS,
some of the following may sound
familiar …
8. You need to file or submit
hard copies for compliance or
regulatory reasons –
policies, procedures,
contracts, financial
supporting documents
and receipts.
9. Or ... You need a physical
signature – on-boarding
documents for new
employees, time sheets,
sick notes, holiday forms,
staff records.
10. Maybe you need to
fill out forms by hand –
expenses, service reports,
customer contact details,
questionnaires.
15. 1. How much time is wasted on
processing paper documents or
manually entering information?
Think of all the situations where people are still typing in
details from printed forms or from one set of electronic
documents to another. Where are the highest volumes and
where could those people better use their time?
16. 2. How many errors result from
rekeying data?
From supplier payments to customer billing and contracts,
this is a major productivity and compliance challenge. Are
you currently measuring how many queries, revisions and
rejections occur across your business processes?
17. 3. How many documents are lost
in your processes?
Not easy to monitor - but you can get an idea by
measuring and following up on third-party queries,
approval delays and rejections in your business processes.
Pay close attention to any areas where you use hard copy
documents and handle them manually.
18. 4. How difficult is it to track, share and
retrieve paper-based information?
Look for symptoms like some areas of customer service being
less responsive than others. Remote and mobile workers
may be taking more time to approve critical documents like
contracts and budgets. Management, finance and admin
staff could be wasting time chasing queries, confirmations
and sign-offs. Stressful and costly audits could also flag up
difficulties checking back on who changed what, and why.
19. 5. How much valuable space is taken
up with paper archiving?
Review which areas of your organisation still store paper
and how long it’s kept. Could this information be stored in
other ways and still meet regulatory requirements? Could
you digitalise and centralise storage? What could you do
with the space (and time) you’d free up?
20. e.g.
And here are six examples
of how you can make a
positive difference ...
21. 1.Capture information from paper quickly
and accurately using intelligent scanning
technology – and integrate with your
electronic document management
This is a key stage in processes automation – in most cases,
this technology means your people won’t have to retype
information from one document to another anymore.
22. 2. Share the right information
with the right people, in the
right places
Once you’ve scanned the data in, put in place policies that
ensure it can only be sent to the right people, and will be
stored securely. Automation can help enforce these policies
and strengthening compliance.
23. 3. Easily monitor and track the progress
of documents through your processes
Use robust, user-friendly information management software
in conjunction with smart scanning to speed up invoice
processing, customer on-boarding, HR approvals and all
sorts of other admin tasks. People can see at a glance where
documents are in any approval or editing process – and what’s
slowing things down.
24. 4. Instantly find and retrieve the
relevant information you need
Once you’re digitising and processing documents
effectively you can speed up access to all kinds of
information. Intuitive search (through meta data, not just
filenames) can be applied to areas like:
• Supplier contracts and payments
• Employee records
• Company policies
• Customer communications, deliveries and agreements.
25. 5. Eliminate unnecessary
paper storage
Filing cabinets still take up large amounts of space across
organisations. By automating the digitisation of critical
documents you can reduce or eliminate the need for hard
copy storage and free up significant space and resources.
26. 6. Improve transparency and reduce
business risk
Digitisation and information management software can
make a big difference to the transparency of many processes.
Consider supplier payments: being able to easily track any
changes to an invoice throughout its history, and quickly
access the supporting documentation, strengthens the audit
trail and cuts Finance team workload.
28. We seamlessly integrate
paper and digital workflows,
automating information
capture, storage and distribution
to accelerate operational
performance.
29. WHEREVER YOU ARE
ON YOUR JOURNEY
TO PROCESS
MODERNISATION,
WE CAN HELP YOU
GO FURTHER.
31. “Any document or electronic file can be
instantly captured. From personnel records
and property documents to student loans
and education records, we have a one-
stop-shop for information, in most cases
eliminating the need to keep paper records.”
MICK COOK
PROJECT MANAGER,
NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY COUNCIL
32. “Now we know at all times where a document
is and where it came from in the process.
Moreover, we can assign permissions on
the category level and down to a single
document. This has resulted in greater agility
and control of our work reports and invoicing.”
MICHAEL WAGER
FINANCE DIRECTOR,
ASTILLEROS DE MALLORCA
33. “Our customer service representatives
can email the customers the information
they’re looking for straight away, without
having to go through the hassle of first
finding it in the archive, scanning it,
emailing it and then filing it away again.”
KEITH WRIGHT
GENERAL MANAGER, TEAM GLOBAL
34. “Thanks to Canon, we now have a firm
grip on our accounts payable system
and are processing the invoices 40%
quicker than before. By reducing the
processing time by 40 hours, we have
saved around €25–30,000 a year.”
BERT RIJKMANS
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS EXECUTIVE,
VAN DILLEWIJN GROUP
35. “Canon transformed our key paper-
based manual processes into highly
efficient and accessible digital data
that any of our designated staff could
retrieve at any time.”
