Tech M&A Monthly - Q3 Quarterly Report October 2013Corum Group
Q3 2013 came to a remarkable close in the tech M&A arena--this report included our in depth quarterly report on the deals, trends and valuations, plus what it all means to technology CEOs, owners and investors considering their M&A options.
In addition to a detailed breakdown of the six software and related technology markets, and the 26 subsectors, the Corum team discussed the latest news from the world of tech & finance, with a look at unusual deals--with Blackberry acquired by an insurance company, we look at other buyers you might not think of; the JOBS Act--with Twitter taking advantage and some of the fundraising provisions coming into effect, how is the impact on tech M&A shaping up? And, finally, Corum President Nat Burgess provides his thoughts on why he thinks this that Tech M&A is currently a seller's market.

Introduction to cloud content managementRoger Bottum
Cloud content management is underway, but already its changing from the utility model addressing the cost and complexity of on-premise ECM, to a 2nd wave around putting content to work with anyone, from anywhere, and how you want to work.
Just as computing and the World-Wide Web progressed through stages of maturity on the way to full acceptance, artificial intelligence is destined to do the same. By understanding the comparable challenges that were overcome and benefits achieved with earlier technologies, organizations can better see today where AI is heading and ensure that they are properly positioned to reap its full value.
Reducing Image Hide & Seek with AI for In-House AgenciesNuxeo
Most designers spend a lot of time (too much, in fact) searching for images. The thing is, finding what you’re looking for assumes the image was tagged with the appropriate terms up front. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a useful aid to identify image attributes. And, applying AI using machine learning (ML) models that can be trained on your specific business data can add real value by reducing tedious manual tagging while increasing search effectiveness.
In this webinar, we walk through a practical example from an apparel manufacturer of how business-trained AI is being used to identify and label creative assets during mass image uploads.

Business aspects of social software and collaboration Ed Brill
Web 2.0, social software, blogs, wikis, instant messaging. New tools and new ways of approaching communication and coordination among customers, suppliers, and partners. Software to help companies share information has been around for more than 15 years. How do the new tools intersect with existing ones? How can you best leverage new technologies for faster time-to-market and increased customer satisfaction? What is the role of security in an increasingly open supply-chain communication system? We'll examine these questions and talk about current and future technologies and trends.
Governance of Power Platform – As enabler, not as gatekeeperSwatantra Kumar
In today’s digital age, organizations are under immense pressure to define, ideate, build and deliver services at consistently shortening time to market. With a demanding market, an unpredictable and slowing economy, and a global shortage of skilled labor, low-code platforms are increasingly seen as a boon for enterprises aiming to fuel digital transformation by building new apps, modernizing application landscapes, or automating processes quicker and more efficiently. Low-code/no-code (LCNC) tools have seen steady growth due to their effectiveness in addressing some of the challenges in technology – primarily for digitizing workflows, enhancing user experiences, promoting internal efficiency, and their ability to quickly fill the workforce gap. Low-code application platforms are emerging as a key accelerator for app development and delivery. However, there are still challenges ahead due to a vacuum of battle-tested IT governance for low-code platforms. This article covers our view on the governance of one of the leading LCNC tools, Power Platform, and why it is important while planning, securing, deploying, and supporting applications built on the platform.

Given at Enterprise 2.0 conference. Defines the Enterprise 2.0 conversation as more than standalone Web20 components (wikis, blogs, etc.). Helps frame the role of collaboration in the traditional enterprise transaction and intelligence processes. Answers the question of how to transform traditional enterprise systems from a system of record to a system of action.
The Abstract
When people work together, great things happen! Now imagine the impact of what happens when employees and partners contextually collaborate around the softer aspects of the traditional automated enterprise business process. Now consider the impact of 200 job roles, 80 natural enterprise communities, and 40 mission-critical teaming-oriented business processes. So, have you considered how innovative and engaged your employees could be?

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.

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.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We shall now go on with the second presentation in today‘S agenda. Presenting today ProjeX is Marc Schoffer from the Business administration department, Felix Gehring, IT specialist and me, Carmen Neghina, communication department.
Nowadays there‘s a lot of talk about Web 2.0, web mashups, AJAx, etc. Which in the mind of Sho Kuwamoto are all facets of the same phenomenon: that information and presentation are being separated in ways that allow for novel forms of reuse. Here is where the cocktail idea came into play, as a means of representing mashups, as mashups integrate more web services into one.
The next 30 minutes will be divided into 5 parts. We shall introduce you to the idea of our project, we shall analyze the market for our product, present its main features ... And also some financial projections related to it. At the end the final implementation of the product will also be tackled. So, let‘s get started !
