It introduces Dunegrass as a solution to close this gap by enabling collaborative analysis, interactive charts/tables, and a unified data model across sources. The startup is seeking $1.5 million investment to expand their team of developers, sales, and marketing staff to scale the software business for rapid growth.

Do successful companies think differently and act differently? Do they fear recession? How do they stay
at the helm as market or technology leaders? Do they pile on cash for future or invest now?
La collaboration est absolument essentielle pour optimiser la productivité et la
performance financière dans le contexte des marchés ultra-concurrentiels
d'aujourd'hui. Communiquer plus facilement avec ses clients, ses fournisseurs et
ses employés permet aux entreprises de tirer parti des capacités jusque-là
inexploitées pour relever les défis actuels et repérer de nouvelles opportunités. Les
réseaux d'entreprises ont ouvert la porte à cette nouvelle façon de collaborer et
peut-être l'élément qui différencie la concurrence moderne de la concurrence du
passé. Apprenez comment Ariba, principal réseau mondial de commerce
interentreprises, aide les entreprises à mieux acheter, à vendre plus rapidement et
utiliser la facturation électronique et la gestion dynamique de l'escompte afin de
mieux gérer leurs paiements et leurs créances de manière plus stratégique.

We have had a lot of inquires about the document we circulated during fundraising, so we thought the easiest thing might be to post a somewhat sanitized version as a Finance Tool along with some explanation. This type of Finance Tool will not apply to all companies, but for those looking to raise early stage capital, hopefully it will be a great contribution to the body of knowledge already out there.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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!
