The document analyzes the supply and demand of ICT manpower in Malaysia. Key findings include:
1) Software development and networking/security are projected to be the top skills in demand but face potential shortages.
2) MSC companies are more reliant on ICT employees and projected stronger ICT hiring growth than non-MSC firms.
3) Multiple scenarios show shortfalls between ICT graduate supply and projected demand over the forecast period, ranging from 3,000-9,000 unfilled jobs depending on assumptions.
4) Gaps exist in the employability of graduates due to limited industry involvement in curriculum design at some institutions.

IBM company history and other vital stats
International Business Machines Corporation is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Armonk, New York, United States, with operations in over 170 countries.
The company originated in 1911 as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) and was renamed "International Business Machines" in 1924.
Survey says: consumers are already using mobile wallet, and they want more.
In our survey of 2,000 customers in the U.S. and the U.K., we found that marketers have yet to meet consumer demand for wallet.
Consider:
- 54% of respondents we surveyed have already used a wallet pass
- More than 57% of Millennials want information about sales, offers and coupons delivered via mobile wallet
In this presentation, two mobile wallet experts take you through the survey results and explore what the key findings mean for mobile marketers.
Customer Relationship Management - Case Study [Mercedes Benz]Jas Singh Bhasin
Historically, Mercedes-Benz was sold in the UK through a franchised network of some 138 dealerships.
Each of these was autonomous, with the exception of three dealerships owned by the distributor Daimler Chrysler UK (DCUK).
DaimlerChrysler had relatively little control over relationships between dealers and customers. Dealers managed their own relationships including customer research, data base management, acquisition and retention processes.
This presentation describes the challenges faced by the company initially and how did they overcome those challenges.

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).

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!
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development.

The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

and 2) the employability or employer satisfaction of the current ICT manpower
Gap in Manpower Demand Gap in Employer
& Supply Satisfaction of ICT
What is the shortfall of manpower Manpower

29. Key Takeaways
Certain scenarios for the demand and supply situation in Malaysia bring up an over-supply of
1 ICT graduates. This over-supply however should be considered in the light of the fact that
employers deem graduates from local IHLs to be lacking in quality and not all employable
Curricula in local IHLs are perceived by employers to not be aligned with the requirements of
2 the industry
As ICT is transcending its role from just a support function to a business enabler, there is an
3 increasing and as yet unmet demand for ICT graduates that are well-equipped in
business/communication skills
The MSC cluster has performed impressively in the light of the tough economic times over the
4 last year, with SSO as the chief growth engine
The MSC cluster is poised to add 50,000 new knowledge workers over the next three years
