Odoo's customizability and growing community were major benefits, but it still lacks some modern features like live chat.

Digital innovation and transformation requires companies to constantly update their products and services to stay ahead of competition. The key is balancing stability and agility by operating in two modes - mode 1 focuses on predictable and reliable operations while mode 2 allows for exploratory initiatives and managed risk taking to leverage new technologies and differentiate in the market. Companies should challenge employees to think about how emerging trends can create real business value rather than just implementing new digital technologies.

DevOps for Enterprises; ("Respect the Monolith!")
There is a lot of information about DevOps, the technology, the culture, the behaviour. There is not, to be honest, a lot of information about tackling DevOps in large enterprises and there is certainly very little about tackling DevOps in large financial organizations.
This presentation will talk about lessons learnt rolling out DevOps in a large insurance organization. What are the characteristics of these organizations? They are very different to Facebook, Twitter, IT product companies and start ups. They are large, they typically have an "old brand" and maybe resistant to change, they outsource sometimes both Dev and Ops and sometimes to many different providers, they are global and built on a matrix structure of many business units and segments, they often are running application consolidation programs, they frequently are resistant to cloud based technologies, they are project rather than product driven with large project portfolios, they have stringent but maybe ineffective governance models. When approaching DevOps in this style of organisation I like to use the mantra "Respect the Monolith" - where the Monolith is not just the legacy IT systems but also some of the above challenges. Underestimating these challenges will be the downfall of a DevOps initiative.
I will cover a "successful" DevOps initiative that I set up for the organization and show how it "failed". I will cover how security, suppliers and regulation impacted us. This will be a great presentation for anyone about to embark on a DevOps journey in a large disparate organization.

Using Processes and Timers for Long-Running Asynchronous TasksOutSystems
The document discusses using processes and timers to handle long-running asynchronous tasks in Salesforce. It presents several common use cases and provides options for addressing each case. For many smaller transactions, it recommends using staging tables or live queries. For long asynchronous transactions, it suggests status polling or callbacks. For long synchronous transactions, adjusting timeouts, wrapping the call in a separate asynchronous service, or not using asynchronous processes are options. It also discusses updating user status through polling, a notification entity, or email.

Many OutSystems projects begin simply. The requirements are not complex and therefore, neither is the architecture. But, as implementations grow, so grows the complexity and functionality needs of the enterprise. In this session, we will explore the 4-Layer Architecture and show you what we encountered, and learned, moving from a simple architecture to a 4-Layer one.
Speed up Development by Turning Web Blocks Into First-Class CitizensOutSystems
The document discusses turning web blocks into first-class citizens to speed up development. It describes the problem of input sections being reused on multiple screens which requires access to their data and validation from other screens. The ideal solution is not described but the actual solution utilizes an action and web block that exposes runtime properties of other web blocks to enable sharing data between blocks and screens. Examples of how this solution works in practice are provided.
The document discusses service actions in OutSystems and their advantages over server actions. Service actions provide internal REST methods that have benefits like public actions such as findability, security, and strong typing, but are only accessible within the same OutSystems environment. They allow changes to producer logic to immediately impact consumers through weak dependencies. The document provides examples of how to design service compositions and handle errors across multiple transactions. It also uses a hypothetical scenario of inviting local residents to a store opening to demonstrate how service actions could be implemented versus server actions.
Sometimes we want our UI to respond to external events. With the power of Google's Firebase, we can interact with those events in OutSystems to build extremely powerful and interactive applications
Excited about the new reactive web features? Come to this session to learn some of the best practices to make sure that you get started on the right foot.
This document discusses a Rapid Application Design Sprint (RADS) process for developing applications. The RADS involves defining requirements, empathizing with users, ideating solutions, prototyping ideas, and testing prototypes with users. It is most effective when used early in an application's development when requirements are known but the design direction is unvalidated. The RADS brings everyone together to share ideas and roadblocks, and quickly prototype and validate ideas with users.
This document discusses pragmatic innovation and provides examples of innovative technologies used in different industries. It promotes an approach to innovation that focuses on creating value, starting small projects and validating ideas before scaling. Machine learning, robotic process automation, big data, mobile apps, computer vision, chatbots and artificial intelligence are mentioned as technologies that can enable pragmatic innovation when applied to industries like waste management, logistics, banking and more. Driving innovation internally involves hackathons, initiatives and partner ventures.
The document discusses troubleshooting performance issues with a customer's dashboard. It experiences slow loading times of over 10 minutes due to extensive querying and loading all data at once. The document proposes a 14 step process to archive older data with low impact through creating a duplicate 'current' entity, migrating data over, and changing queries to reference only the current entity for improved loading performance. It also notes more work is still needed to fully optimize the dashboard.
When setting up a new project we have some tips and tricks to help you do this in the best way possible, incl. infrastructure, database, standard attributes, logging, code alignment, and service center.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
