Guerilla Marketing of Enterprise Architecture ManagementChristian Kählig
Marketing Enterprise Architecture Management is hard. This presentation deals with effective marketing building blocks to make your initiative successful. This does not mean you need a lot of money. Guerilla marketing allows you to achieve big results with only little resources.
What is active energy management (AEM)? AEM combines continuous energy improvement with a building optimization strategy that, when performed correctly, enhances your facility’s performance. AEM creates economic value by benchmarking and measuring usage against key performance indicators and goals.
The system helps you identify actionable information to fine- tune system performance while reducing your energy use and overall costs. With real-time data, learn how to take corrective action for increased building efficiency, environmental sustainability and increased occupant comfort. The end result is an “active” and continuously improving approach to your facility operations that drives effective business decisions and measurable energy and operational cost savings.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).

The CFO: Oversees the finances of the entire company monitoring cash flow financial planning Real estate is the 2 nd highest cost to company. Corporate Real Estate: Operates property like a business. Responsibilities: Leasing &/or purchasing real estate Maintenance Accounting and reporting Repair Provision of utilities Space planning The Sustainability Manager Responsible for setting the company sustainability strategy Monitoring energy Environmental/energy audits Conducts energy and sustainability analyses Identify opportunities to increase building efficiencies, Understand financial impacts of environment on an organization’s operation.
These are the pain points found in many real estate/property function in corporates There is a significant opportunity to respond to CFO pressure to “sweat the assets” by changing the business process and systems in the function Note the issue of loss of control is a key issue for corporates who have outsourced or are planning to outsource

Let’s start with Energy Management here on Chart 10. As we said before, increased demand to support business growth, rising energy costs and environmental concerns are fueling the need for an energy efficient infrastructure. The thermal behavior of a building depends on its location and design , its construction , and finally the way it is operated . Once built, you cannot do much about the location and design. The construction material varies, and for existing buildings, there could be opportunities to enhance the roof, the insulation, the window panes, in other words, the building envelope. And those enhancements are important, and they have varying degrees of effectiveness and payback. However, even for the best constructed buildings, in order to achieve good thermal behavior, it is important to manage them properly and on a continuous basis. Here is why. First, Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning (HVAC) systems deteriorate over time and become more prone to failure and less efficient. Second, a building has typically a schedule for lighting and climatization; but the occupants and working crews could take the lighting and equipment off schedule for very valid reasons, and then forget to put them back on schedule and unknowingly disturb the optimal setting. That’s why the ability to monitor energy systems and measure thermal metrics on a real-time basis and tying them to asset management is key to ensuring optimal energy performance in a building. If you want to: Monitor energy systems and the climate inside the building, in real time, and be alerted when something is not operating optimally You need a solution that: Continuously collect measurements, correlates and analyzes the data to detect energy optimization opportunities and to predict potential failures. You need a solution that gives them the diagnosis for the problem and not just the alert . And the IBM solution that addresses those requirements is IBM Intelligent Building Management which was announced on June 9 th of this year. This solution is now being implemented in IBM’s top energy consuming buildings after a pilot in Rochester showed an 8 % improvement in energy usage. This solution provides a good return on investment when the total space monitored is at least one million square feet, which is equivalent to about 100 square meters. If you want to: Identify the best building enhancement or energy conservation projects and track results of those investments. IBM TRIRIGA Real Estate Environmental Sustainability Manager is the right solution for you. Actually IBM TRIRIGA Real Estate Environmental Sustainability Manager is also an energy and sustainability tool that maintains utility bills, energy consumption data, and enables historical comparisons and benchmarking between buildings. Lastly, IBM Maximo Data Center Infrastructure Management enables moves, adds and changes within data centers.
Let’s move on and look at how buildings operate today. In the middle of this chart, you will see the essential day-to-day service such as lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, water, elevators and security. We are all used to those services and we almost do not notice them unless they break! But those are not the only processes occurring in buildings. Look to the left, and there is another set of services: Occupancy services; lifecycle management of the equipment; regulatory compliance; portfolio management for the organizations that own multiple buildings; tenant services and bill payments. Most of the building systems on the left operate independently, through a mix of vendors, and have different protocols and transport mechanisms. These different systems have also been advancing and maturing at different rates. If you add to this, the impact and influence of external factors shown on the right side of the chart, like weather patterns, emergency operations, variable utility rates, then you can begin to see just how complex managing a building could be.
You may ask what IBM brings to the management of facilities and real estate. What we bring is the ability to help organizations optimize their portfolio of real estate and facilities through a continuous improvement process. It starts with the ability to collect data from a variety of sources including energy and space usage data, lease expiration data, real time equipment performance data, etc. IBM has a history of experience with data integration and management of very large data sets. The ability to make sense of this data and provide new insights into the management of the portfolio as well as individual improvements to buildings is critical to reducing costs enabling buildings to operate in a more sustainable fashion. IBM Software and services can also help to manage the process of effecting changes whether they be building retrofit projects or equipment maintenance. The ability to capture savings, optimizing return on investment and report on sustainability compliance are all an important part of closing the loop for continuous improvement.
Integration BMS: Supports in-building solutions. Does not provide capability to integrate between many buildings. Utilises asset data to control and deliver set requirements within a building. IIBM: Integrates with multiple heterogeneous BMS system, sensors and devices (meters etc) and brings the data to an enterprise level. Easily integrates to many BMS’s and supports BMS’s from multiple vendors. Analyses/compares data from different buildings within the enterprise in order to leverage and propagate best practices Rules programming BMS: Analytics/rules have to be uniquely coded for each BMS instance IIBM: BMS programming not required, can add infinite number of rules due to normalized data. New rules are easy to implement. New rules can be formulated in terms of "business language" rather than a "programming language". Analytics/Rules BMS: The analytics/rules are only deployable across each BMS instance. Finite number of rules can be deployed. Data analysis is not performed over time. IIBM: Deployed rules are reusable across multiple buildings and BMS instances. Infinite number of rules can be deployed. Additional SPSS Modeller capabilities to analyze building information and identify new patterns and anomalies. Data analysis of multiple normalised data points in near real time and alerts based on specific rule sets. Rules are based on multiple incidents (from various sources) measured and assessed against each other. Leverages other data sources (space, weather, electric, etc) when performing analysis on BMS data. Uncovers problems that BMS simply compensate for e.g. If the problem is a heating valve stuck open, a BMS may pump more chilled water to compensate, how ever IIBM will be alerted to the stuck heating valve and will create a service request to repair – saving energy Event Management BMS: Manages events within the BMS IIBM: Ability to filter, correlate, de-duplicate alerts from many disparate sources. Ability to manage events from multiple sources, e.g BMS + Maximo, where duplicate events recorded in the BMS and by users in Maximo can be co-related. Performance BMS: Limitation on the number of analytics/rules owing to memory and performance issues IIBM: Rules/Analytics do not adversely affect critical real time BMS performance or memory. Maintenance Services BMS: Reactive alarms generated. IIBM: Delivers root cause identification of maintenance problems. Fewer total customer calls as issues identified before performance is affected. PM’s are reduced as IIBM can be relied upon to identify maintenance problems as they arise. Offers an integrated service mgmt (service request ) offering to the customers with SLA monitoring and reporting. Work order generation BMS: Currently no functionality. Competing asset/svc mgmt products (eg SAP) not as fully integrated. IIBM: Work orders and/or service requests automatically generated. Data BMS: Can’t (easily or flexibly) aggregate individual BMS’s into an enterprise view. IIBM: Dashboards presenting enterprise views that can drill down to individual department views clearly flagging areas of high energy use. Integration with multiple systems with BMS’s allows companies to focus on understanding what data means. Security BMS: Secure access to single BMS instances. No access to multiple systems. IIBM: Secure and single sign-on access to IBM Intelligent Building Management and legacy systems from dashboard. Single sign on/one click access to work orders from IIBM dashboard. Existing Clients BMS: Can only provide enhancements to existing BMS systems. IIBM: Works with existing customer’s building management systems Operational support BMS: Deep engineering skills required for new enhancements IIBM: Knowledge worker required for enhancements
