The Big Picture: Big Data for the New Wave of AnalyticsInside Analysis
The Briefing Room with Neil Raden and MarkLogic
Live Webcast on Oct. 2, 2012
Understanding context is a critical success factor for any decision-maker. Getting a clear view of the big picture can help guide all kinds of important decisions. That's why many organizations are focused on weaving together structured and "unstructured" data, to create a strategic view of enterprise issues and opportunities. The answers are usually found somewhere in between a SQL query and a Google-style search.
Check out this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst Neil Raden of Hired Brains, who will explain how a new breed of analytical applications can generate a wide range of targeted insights. He'll be briefed by Steve Guttman of MarkLogic, who will tout his company's Enterprise NoSQL database, which combines the durability of traditional relational databases, with the versatility of modern Big Data engines. He'll also discuss real-world examples of new applications for various industries.
Join CIGNEX Datamatics, Alfresco's Global Platinum Partner, as they share the case study experience of a leading supplier of auto parts, regarding their implementation of Alfresco as a Contract Lifecycle Management solution. The webinar will feature information related to the business drivers, challenges and solution architecture and also include a live demonstration.
The Briefing Room with Colin White and Composite Software
Live Webcast Feb. 26, 2013
The modern business analyst needs data from all over the place: yes, the data warehouse, but also the Web, big data, production systems, as well as via partners and vendors. In fact, the typical analyst spends more than 50% of the time chasing data, which slows delivery of analytic insights and limits the time available for thorough analysis. Some practitioners refer to this conundrum as "the data problem."
Check out the slides from this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Colin White of BI Research as he explains why analytical sandboxes and data hubs can be an analyst's best friend. He'll be briefed by Bob Eve of Composite Software who will discuss his company's mature data virtualization platform, which includes a number of capabilities that help organizations leverage agile analytics. He will discuss why time-to-insight is fast becoming the battle cry of analysis-driven organizations.

This document summarizes key findings from interviews with over 50 thought leaders on cloud computing in the public and private sectors. The main findings are:
1. Cloud computing represents a significant shift in how IT resources are consumed and funded, rather than just a new technology. The decision to adopt cloud computing must consider its impacts on an organization's mission, culture, and business processes.
2. Within the intelligence community, cloud adoption should be determined on a case-by-case basis focused on mission enablement. Cost savings must consider total lifecycle costs.
3. Information security can be enhanced with cloud computing if security is built into the design, but risks are increased if security is not adequately addressed.
This document discusses architectures for enabling business intelligence and analytics on NoSQL data. It begins by outlining common questions around enabling ad-hoc reporting, improving dashboard performance, integrating data, and balancing simple and complex queries. It then reviews several architectures: using only NoSQL for reports, treating NoSQL as a data source, writing programs to access NoSQL in BI tools, and enabling SQL access to NoSQL data. Examples are provided of companies using different architectures, such as only NoSQL, NoSQL with MySQL, or NoSQL via a SQL database.
The document summarizes a technology summit hosted by Symantec. It provided an overview of the agenda which included hands-on product training, sessions on topics like virtualization and cyber threats, and keynotes. It also introduced Carahsoft's role in supporting Symantec's government partners and upcoming events.
IT has become increasingly complex and difficult to manage
and scale. Costs are growing at unprecedented rates, as
enterprises continue to add technologies in response to an
explosion in the quantity and new types of data. This explosion in data and the patchwork of methods used to store, retrieve
and provide usable views has resulted in inefficiencies in data center architecture, duplication of data base licenses, increased costs for data storage and management, and inefficient use of data center technicians. Database replication alone has precipitated new challenges and resulted in the lack of consolidation
of numerous software middleware licenses, further increasing costs.

The document discusses the rise of big data and why it is important for organizations now. It notes that the volume of data is growing exponentially and will soon reach zettabytes in size. However, most of this data is unstructured and many business leaders do not have access to all the information they need or do not fully trust the information they have. The traditional approach of having IT design structured solutions based on business requirements is no longer sufficient. Instead, the document advocates a big data approach where organizations explore and analyze all available data sources using a platform to discover new insights in an iterative manner and determine new questions to ask. IBM's big data platform is presented as a solution to address these needs by handling large volumes,
This document discusses the transformation of IT expenses from capital expenditures (CAPEX) to operating expenditures (OPEX) through pay-as-you-go cloud computing models. It notes that cloud computing provides benefits like access to latest versions, flexibility and scalability, rapid time to market, and a focus on market differentiation rather than infrastructure. A survey found that customers' top reasons for cloud satisfaction were reduced maintenance requirements, shorter rollouts, and accessibility from anywhere via the internet.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
