When it comes to the cloud, Gartner may have said it best:
“By 2020, a corporate ‘no-cloud’ policy will be as rare as a corporate ‘no-internet’ policy is today.”
If your organization is still skeptical of the cloud, now is the time to take a closer look. Faster implementation timelines and reduced maintenance costs are just two reasons why the cloud is becoming the standard across all industries.
In our webinar, we dispelled common concerns and explored the benefits of operating in the cloud. We also provided real-world examples of companies that have taken the leap and discovered just how much better business works in the cloud.

¿Cómo las manufacturas están evolucionando hacia la Industria 4.0 con la virt...Denodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3cbpipB
Uno de los sectores en los que la transformación digital está teniendo un efecto más disruptivo es el de la fabricación. Líderes del sector manufacturero están apostando por el Big Data, la computación en la nube, la inteligencia artificial y el Internet de las Cosas (IoT) entre otras tecnologías, además de contemplar la llegada de la 5G, con el fin de:
- Automatizar los procesos de manera eficiente, para permitir una mayor producción en menor tiempo
- Crear valor añadido en los productos manufacturados
- Conectar la planta industrial con el punto de venta
- Impulsar el análisis en tiempo real de datos provenientes de diferentes cadenas de producción
Sin embargo, para alcanzar estos objetivos y llevar a cabo esta revolución tecnológica, también conocida como industria 4.0, las manufacturas tienen que enfrentarse a una serie de desafíos no negligentes. El sector industrial es el que genera más datos en el mundo, y en la era digital, la velocidad, la diversidad y el volumen exponencial de los datos pueden superar las arquitecturas de TI tradicionales. Además, la mayoría de los fabricantes se enfrentan a silos de datos, lo que hace que su tratamiento sea lento y costoso. Necesitan entonces una plataforma de TI fiable que permita integrar, centralizar y analizar datos de distintas fuentes y diferentes formatos de manera ágil y segura para poner la información al servicio del negocio.
Los expertos de Enki y Denodo te proponen este seminario online para descubrir qué es la virtualización de datos, y por qué líderes del sector apuestan por esta tecnología innovadora para optimizar su estrategia de TI y conseguir un ROI significativo gracias a un acceso más rápido, simple y unificado a los datos industriales.

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.

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.

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.

BUSINESS IMPLICATIONS – CALL TO ACTION
Near Term
• Think about customer and partner data that
could be used to improve or create new
products or services.
• Implement machine learning capabilities to
understand how customer and partner data
can work with other data to adjust to
changing needs.
• Implement fully automated software
development environments that provide
ability to deliver new features on a weekly
basis with high quality.
Long Term
• Challenge conventional status quo thinking
and start conversations today on how
changes in your industry could eliminate
your business.
• Lay out a detailed plan for a full transition to
a computing platform that will allow your
company to quickly take advantage of new
computing architectures at low cost of entry.
• Look at all of your business processes,
internal and external, to identify
opportunities to replace them with cognitive
systems and intelligent agents.
26. 26
BUSINESS IMPLICATIONS – CALL TO ACTION
• Corporations need to stop thinking about cloud as something they’ll
“implement.”
• Organizations need to rapidly reduce their application portfolio to
only the required essentials.
• All new initiatives should start with the idea of disposable business
services and seek out providers of the specific business service
needed for the new initiative.
• The continued blurring of physical and digital worlds will increase
the need to show true business value in every operation the
business executes.
Gartner: By 2019, more than 30 percent of the 100 largest vendors' new software investments will have shifted from cloud-first to cloud-only.
By 2020, more compute power will have been sold by IaaS and PaaS cloud providers than sold and deployed into enterprise data centers.
IDC: Public Cloud Spending To Double By 2019
As you have heard from my colleagues we see cloud as a utility and multi cloud platform in the future where most of the technically complex work has been hidden from the client. This frees up the client to stay focused on the running of the business to accelerate the delivery of goods and services. We see this as a natural progression within the industry to a Service Focus. Beyond that it would be a disposable service focus.
Today we tend to see cloud in a very technical perspective – nuts and bolts – blocking and tackling.
In the future we will not see any of the technical but think about it from a “Business Service” perspective. We will consume services on an “As-Needed” basis.

Some version of this model will evolve as we progress through this megatrend.
32% of business leaders in large organizations indicate they have embarked on a digital business transformation and their current business is a digital business. (Gartner 2015)
Blurring of Digital and Physical worlds is a common problem already.
Value chain development and disruptions across industries establish new flows of commerce.
Data science will be standard part of all business to establish new target audiences.
Digitalize the business process not for “standardized” automation but for “automatic customization” digital business process’s.
Corporations will purchase “Business Services” not “Technology Services” which they can spin up in hours or days and spin down just as quickly when the service is no longer needed.
Disposable business model will drive technology decisions.
Business Services will start off mimicking current internal business services like we understand today – Marketing, Sales, Accounting, Finance, Inventory, etc.
Business Services will evolve to be more “FULL” transaction oriented including everything from raw material procurement to final delivery and collection from ultimate customer.
Let's step ahead to 2030, a world where autonomous vehicles, smart machines, connected things and 3D printed goods are part of everyday work and life
Services will be all encompassing types of services with end to end capabilities that cover all functional components of the business from personnel to inventory mgt, raw material procurement, marketing, sales, delivery, collection of value based units, to support after the sale.
Top arrow is showing more unique smaller part of the overall digital business will push to in-house.
Bottom arrow is showing more common higher overall part of digital business compute services will push to the Cloud in the form of Business Services.
Gartner has a listing of 50 examples of digital business services and products already in play at this time.
