You need to know what a customer is worth to you on so you can figure out if you can spend more in marketing to acquire more ideal customers.
In another article we discussed Cost of Acquisition for a customer, and if your cost of acquisition fits well inside your overall customer profit then you can continue to spend on that acquisition strategy.
If your cost to acquire is too high based upon your customer lifetime value then you are spending too much in acquisition.
The best marketing campaigns acquire your ideal customers, and they are the ones with a high lifetime value to you that you actually like working with.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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!

for follow-up. Example: a business card, a database of potential customers.
Opportunity: a sales opportunity represents a potential contract. Each opportunity must be followed up by a salesperson spending time to make a
quotation or cancel the opportunity.
Example of flow:
• Create Lead: record a first contact with a potential prospect
• Click Convert to Opportunity: after qualification of an opportunity
◦ Create new partner
◦ Click Create Opportunity (do not forget to click Save)
• Click Schedule Call
• Click Next Stage: to record the sales / negotiation stages
• Click Convert to Sale: to send a quotation for the opportunity

Sales Management
goal: OpenERP Sales Management allows you to manage your sales goals in an effective & efficient manner. Dynamic dashboards will help you
keep track of all sales activities. OpenERP handles products, services and consumables in such a way that a sales order can trigger tasks,
manufacturing orders, purchases, etc. It supports several invoicing methods according to your configuration: from the sales order, from the picking...
Terminology
Partner: Any physical or moral person you do business with [e.g. prospect, supplier, customer, employee]. Partners may have various addresses and
contact persons.
Quotation: An estimate of costs submitted to a (prospective) customer. The quotation will evolve to a sales order once confirmed.
steps:
• Define partner categories (Sales > Configuration > Address Book > Partner Categories)
• Define partners (Sales > Address Book > Customers)
• Define product categories (Sales > Configuration > Product > Product Categories)
• Define products (Sales > Products > Products)
Example of flow:
• Create Quotation with some products
• Print Quotation
• Click Delivery Costs: to compute costs (if module delivery installed)
• Confirm Quotation to create a Sales Order
• Print Sales Order
• Confirm Draft Invoice (created automatically)
Tips and Tricks:
• Use analytic accounting to invoice from time sheets or project tasks (see also Project Management / Human Resources)
◦ Timesheet Journal, Analytical Sales Journal
2. ◦ Analytical account, e.g. Customer Project
Extra:
• Add extra dates to sales order with the sale_order_dates module.
• Point of sale features to quickly create sales orders and invoices (we will dedicate a topic to this)
• Look at your sales margins according to invoices (sale_margin)
• Print delivery orders (sale_delivery_report)
• Find out your product margins based on sales and purchases (product_margin)
Price Lists
goal: Price lists allow you to efficiently manage promotions, customers special prices, segmentations of customer or supplier contracts, etc. It
enableso either set fixed prices or to work by rules to auto-compute prices according to the cost, the date, the currency, the product category, etc.
A single price list can have several price list versions, only one of which may be active: example 2010, 2011, Summer Sale, ...
steps:
• Define product categories (Sales > Configuration > Product > Product Categories)
• Define products (Sales > Products > Products)
◦ Junior Consultant, Senior Consultant
• Define price list (Sales > Configuration > Product > Pricelists > Pricelists)
• Define price list versions (Sales > Configuration > Product > Pricelists > Pricelist Versions)
• Attach a price list to a customer from the Sales & Purchases tab in the Customer form
Tips and Tricks:
Price list versions allow you to easily adapt prices for suppliers and customers. You could use a version to prepare new price lists for the next year.
Every version has its starting and ending date.
OpenERP is preconfigured with two price lists by default (one for customers, one for suppliers). These price lists simply return the price
provided on the product form. Companies that have very basic needs do not have to use price lists, they can just record prices on product forms.
Knowledge
goal: OpenERP’s Knowledge Management is unique and totally innovative in its integrated approach. Its complete integration and synchronization
with the company’s management system solves most of the problems that are encountered when you use independent document management systems.
All documents produced by OpenERP are automatically indexed and classified for maximum efficiency. There is an ultra-rapid access to documents,
which are directly available from your email client or the company management software. The user access rights are managed just the same way as
those that are available in the company management system. Automatic assignment of meta-information comes directly from information contained in
your OpenERP login registration.
To be completed. Example of use and configuration.
Human Resources
Use the HR Configuration Wizard to easily select features you want to use.
goal: OpenERP offers a flexible and easy-to-use solution for small to mid-sized companies. By providing modules for personnel information
management, leave, time tracking & attendance‚ expenses, payroll, periodic evaluations and recruitment, companies are able to manage the crucial
organisation asset: people.
Terminology
Employee: A person who works in your company (linked to an address for his personnel data and to a product if you want to invoice his work)
User: A physical person who is given access to the company’s system., i.e. a person who is able to log on to OpenERP.
steps:
• Define employees (Human Resources > Employees)
• Define analytic accounts for use with timesheets (Accounting > Configuration > Analytic Accounting > Accounts > Analytic Accounts)
• Define product categories (Sales > Configuration > Product > Product Categories): Human Resources
• Define two products (Sales > Products > Products)
◦ Senior Developer (service, produce)
3. ◦ Consultant (service, produce)
Link OpenERP User to an Employee, to an Analytical Journal and a Product if you want to invoice from timesheet lines.
Example of Timesheet flow:
• Enter your timesheet (draft)
• If okay, confirm timesheet
• Manager validates timesheet
Example of Expense flow:
• Enter your expenses(draft) and link them to customer projects
• At the end of the month confirm your sheet containing several expenses
• Manager validates expenses sheet
• The accountant validates the expenses sheet to generate accounting entries for the charges
• The accountant reimburses the employee for his personnel costs
Example of Leaves Management:
• To be completed
Example of Periodic Evaluation:
• To be completed
Example of Recruitment:
• To be completed
Tips and Tricks:
• hr_timesheet_sheet combines two modules (hr_attendance and hr_timesheet). It is a different way of displaying your timesheets. With
hr_timesheet_sheet, you will see both Sign in/Sign out and your timesheet lines in one screen.
Project Management
The « account_analytic_analysis » module sets the financial project management menu
goal : OpenERP’s project management tools handle projects related to Services or Support, Production or Development – it is a universal module
for all enterprise needs. These tools allow an operational project management to organise your activities into tasks and plan the work you need to
get the tasks completed.
The system handles an efficient allocation of resources, short and long term project planning, scheduling and automatic email communication to get
your partners informed on the project's progress status. Gantt diagrams give you graphical representations of your project plans, as well as
resources' availability and workload. With the Caldav functionality you can get access to scheduling information on a remote server.
steps:
• Define projects or project templates (Project > Project Management > Projects)
• Create tasks (Projects > Project Management > Tasks)
• Record task work (log) on tasks
Link OpenERP User to an Employee, to an Analytical Journal and a Product if you want to invoice from project tasks or timesheet lines. Don't
forget to set the invoicing method on analytic account if you installed hr_timesheet_invoice.
Tips and Tricks:
• For each project, OpenERP automatically creates a new analytic account. All you have to do is decide whether you want to add it to a
parent project to build a hierarchical structure.
• Add the task work done automatically to your timesheet (project_timesheet).
Extra:
• From a sales order, the system can automatically create project tasks to easily invoice services (project_mrp)
• You can also use retro planning to have your tasks deadline follow the project deadline (project_retro_planning)
• Plan your projects with Long Term Planning. Link tasks to your planning to have a great view of who will do what at a specific time
(project_long_term). You need to define a working schedule and leaves since the project scheduler will use these to calculate the project
dates.
• Scrum: to be completed
• Project_gtd: to be completed
4. Financial Management
•
• Use the Financial Management Configuration Wizard to easily select features you want to use.
•
• : The accounting modules enable you not only to manage your operations clearly but also to use efficient tools for financial analysis
goal
based on real-time data. You can configure your accounting structure from A to Z, defining automated recurring actions as well as payment
and budget follow-up. Drive your strategic enterprise decisions with the analytic (or cost) accounting modules. You can work with one or
multiple analytic plans. OpenERP handles batch work or lot handling for grouped transactions. As all tools are integrated, it gives you full
control of your company.
•
•
Terminology
• Fiscal Period: determines in which financial year entries will be posted, and not the date of the entry.
• Ledger: A ledger keeps accounting entries by accounts. It contains financial information from journals (debits and credits), and shows the
current balances by account.
• An account is part of the ledger, and every debit and credit transaction is stored in it.
• Journal: A journal is used to record transactions from one account to another in chronological order. A journal groups entries by nature, i.e.
purchase, sales.
• Reconciliation: links entries in an account that cancel each other out
• Analytic Accounting: Analytic accounts are useful for your day-to-day operations. Thanks to a hierarchical structure of your analytic
accounts, you will be able to easily control your costs at multiple levels.
•
•
Tips and Tricks :
• A journal is numbered in two ways. Entry sequence determines the automatic numbering for accounting entries, i.e. it provides the
numbering for moves. Use invoice sequences to define your own numbers for purchase / sales invoices (Account invoice out for sales,
account invoice in for purchases) (Administration > Configuration > Sequences > Sequences)
• Use fiscal positions to create a mapping for intra-communal or export taxes / accounts.
•
Example of an invoice flow (to be completed)
• Create a customer invoice (Accounting > Receivables > Customer Invoice) with some products and confirm it.
• Launch reminders (follow-up)
• Record the bank statements
• Reconcile the invoice and the payment
◦ Option 1: reconcile the invoice and the payment directly from the bank statement
• Option 2: reconcile the invoice and the payment from Accounting > Periodical Processing > Reconciliation > Automatic or Manual
Reconciliation
Purchase Management
• : Purchase management enables you to track your suppliers’ price quotations and convert them into Purchase Orders as you require.
goal
OpenERP has several methods of monitoring invoices and tracking the receipt of ordered goods. You can handle partial deliveries in
OpenERP, so you can keep track of items that are still to be delivered on your orders, and you can issue reminders automatically.
• OpenERP’s replenishment management rules enable the system to generate draft purchase orders automatically, or you can configure it to
run a lean process driven entirely by current production needs.
•
•
Terminology
• Quotation: An estimate of costs submitted to a supplier.
• Purchase Order: a confirmed quotation sent to a supplier to order products.
• Purchase Requisition: You can create several supplier price requests for a single supply requirement.
•
•
Example of Purchase flow:
• Enter request for quotation
• If okay, confirm purchase quotation
• Approve purchase order according to supplier
• Go to Warehouse > Warehouse Management > Incoming Shipments to confirm that you received the products
• Check the products list view to see the stock level.
• Use the menu Accounting > Payables > Vendor Invoices to match the purchase invoice.
•
•
Tips and Tricks :
When you install the purchase module from the basic set-up, OpenERP will display a Configuration Wizard allowing you to add extra
modules. Of course, you can always install extra modules through Administration > Modules Management > Modules.
•
•
Extra :
• The system can also manage Purchase Requisitions, allowing you to easily keep track of all your purchase orders (purchase_requisitions)
5. Warehouse
• : The inventory management is based on hierarchical location structure, from warehouses to storage bins. The double entry
goal
inventory system allows you to manage customers, suppliers and manufacturing inventories as well. OpenERP has the capacity to manage
lots and serial numbers ensuring compliance with the traceability requirements imposed by the majority of industries.
•
•
Terminology
• Virtual Location: used as a counterpart (cfr. double entry system) for various operations : 1) procurement [when you do not know the
source yet: supplier or production], 2) production [receipt of raw material and sending finished products], 3) inventory [to correct stock
levels].
• Physical location: defines where your stock is physically stored and represents the warehouses and their hierarchical structure.
• Partner location: represents the customer and supplier stocks. May be very generic (customer / supplier) or detailed (a partner location per
customer / supplier, e.g. for consigned stock).
• View Location: represents an organizational node for the hierarchical structure. It cannot be involved in stock moves.
• Warehouse: A warehouse represents places of physical stock. It always contains an input location, a stock location and an output location
for sold products.
• Real Stock: Quantity of products physically present in the warehouse.
• Virtual Stock: Quantity of products that can actually be sold. Virtual stock is calculated as follows: real stock – outgoing products +
incoming products.
•
•
steps :
