Help desk ticket categories and classification schemeBuild a Help Desk
With a proven 6 step Help Desk ticket classification methodology such as CREATE, companies can Build a Help Desk Ticket Classification scheme that increases ticket trend reporting efficiency, enhance the ticket escalation process and reduce overall support costs. Every Help Desk needs a ticket classification scheme to handle the customer’s issues when they contact the Help Desk for support. Proper ticket classification of an issue when a Help Desk ticket is created enables the Help Desk Agent to sort the issue into support buckets. These buckets will allow knowledge to be presented to the Help Desk agent when trying to provide proper support, enable proper routing of escalated tickets and allow trend reporting of ticket types.

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).

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!

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
1. VOICE/TELECOM:
• Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
• Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
• Web Conferencing/Telecommuting
IVR allows customers to interact with a company’s host system via a telephone keypad or by speech
recognition, after which they can service their own inquiries by following the IVR dialogue.
2. ACD:
Telecommuting:
system that distributes incoming
calls to a specific group of
terminals that agents based on
customer need, type, and agent
skill set.
work location, that can be anywhere outside
of a centralized organizational work place;
usage of ICTs (information and
communication technologies) as technical
support for telework
3. 1. ACD/IVR implementation engineer: help with the migration or upgrade to
new IVR and ACD systems. They help test servers, voice gateway routers,
PSTN circuits and IVR scripts to ensure they are implemented to the required
standards.
2. Telephony design engineer: gather and assess ACD reports, experience
working with legacy PBX and implementing ACD systems, assess the viability
of migrating current systems to use newer technologies such as ACD and IVR
3. IT Support Specialist: provides support for software, hardware and other
system needs, supports implementing the remote work/web conference
service
4. Maximize cost savings- IVR allows customers to self-service; these tasks cost “pennies compared to
dollars” compared to agents assisting with these tasks. These tasks multiplied thousands or millions
of times per year through calls make IVR a worthwhile investment.
Provide great customer service- A well designed ACD/IVR system allow customer to gain fast access
to desired information. Customers spend less time on hold and rely less on customer service
representatives. ACD and IVR systems provide companies with a consistent high quality customer
experience.
Improve service quality- Reports and other data that is generated from ACD and IVR usage will help
managers zero in on areas for improvement and help with continuous process improvement.
Information such as hang ups, time on hold and task completion time will help gauge service quality.
Support Business Continuity- Services such as web conferencing allow employees to work remotely.
This is critical in the event of an emergency, natural disaster or outage. Telecommuting reduces the
risk of disruptions to the business because it allows employees to work from virtually anywhere.
5. “the resources needed to execute strategy, provide a
platform for future growth”
• IVR Software
• Knowledgeable staff/IVR experts
• IVR applications
• IT Service Management
• Infrastructure Management
• Business Intelligence/Analytics
6. Steps or rules that when followed, complete activities or
ensure the delivery of IT goals
• Customer Service
Customer retention
• Data management/Business Intelligence
• Customer relationship management
• SLA agreements
• Business Continuity
• Innovation
• User Authentication
9. “concerned with making decisions that align with company goals and objectives”
• Improve customer service
• Measure effectiveness & efficiency of new systems
• Collect feedback
• Business Intelligence Reports/Benchmarking
• Increase employee efficiency
• Increase customer retention
11. Service: IVR
Problem: Low customer service, low customer retention, poor resource management
Options/Alternatives: Zendesk (third party customer service), outsourcing entire
call center function, third party IVR solution
Expected outcome & impacts: Higher customer service & customer retention,
focus call center staff on more complex problems, 24/7 customer service without labor
costs, streamline processes, maximize cost savings, reduce operational costs
Risks: poorly designed IVR system, customers do not adopt new technology,
authentication vulnerabilities, low IVR system utilization rate
Mitigating actions: have well designed IVR system and options menu, show
customers time-saving features of IVR system, well written security rules and
measures, use business intelligence to continually improve IVR system and processes
