The death of brick-and-mortar stores has been greatly exaggerated and has changed the business among legacy players. Leading retailers maximize digital touchpoints and revamp store experiences, while those without a clear strategy fall exponentially further behind. Retailers must cater to an omnichannel world by internalizing the customer-first mindset and blending digital and physical commerce via tools like live in-store inventory, localized search results, drive-to-store, display ads and more.

Guide: Omni-Channel Order Management by RaymarkRaymark
The retail industry is undergoing a phenomenal transformation. Technological advances and changes in the traditional shopping journey have retailers scrambling to keep up with the newest trends.
Today’s complex consumers are more knowledgeable, connected, empowered and mobile. The internet and social networks provide easy access to product and price information, as well as reviews. Capabilities such as being able to shop on mobile devices empower consumers to interact with a brand and consume content when and where they want.
The consumer’s shopping journey is now dynamic. Consumers’ are constantly evaluating their options and interacting with retailers across channels. The modern consumer researches online before making purchases in store, researches for products and alternatives on their mobile device while shopping in a store and even makes purchases online but visits a brick-and-mortar store to collect them. The shopping journey is an ongoing cycle because the digital touch points that consumers interact with are always on and accessible.
In this guide, we discuss how the success of a retail omni-channel strategy is dependent on three main technology pillars: e-commerce platform, order management system (OMS) and POS.

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?

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
