The ultimate banking and financial sector with cloud computing machine ! Sai Natkar
Banking and financial sector basically operate over the vast IT infrastructures that deal with Big amount of data on a day-to-day basis.Banking organizations and the financial sector as a whole has been relatively slow in adopting the cloud. Their strategy has been to wait and watch on how the cloud performs both from a security as well as robustness of infrastructure point of view.

BMC Engage - ITAM 2015-2020: The Evolving Role of the IT Asset ManagerJon Stevens-Hall
Session Description:
Corporate IT is rapidly evolving as the technology landscape changes. In this presentation, Jon Hall, Lead Product Manager for ITAM at BMC, argues that asset management is becoming an ever-more critical factor in managing that change. Far from being a “custodian of spreadsheets,” the IT asset manager is uniquely positioned to observe, oversee, manage, and influence the make-up of the next generation service environment. The presentation will explore some of the biggest technology changes impacting business IT, and explore how a cross-functional and informed ITAM function can help the business to get the best from them.
Cloud computing has arrived on the IT landscape with all the commotion of a Hollywood blockbuster in terms of its media coverage. The hype and chatter that this has caused has arguably not helped its initial growth and development as companies have been at the mercy of a mixed set of messages, some of which have almost approached the point of confusion in various cases.

Rethinking Data Availability and Governance in a Mobile WorldHao Tran
The Briefing Room with Malcolm Chisholm and Druva
Live
The emergence of the mobile workforce has left an indelible mark on the enterprise; every employee is now mobile, and business data continues to be dispatched to the far reaches of the enterprise. While this has added enormous opportunity for increased productivity, it has also muddied the waters when it comes to controlling and protecting valuable data assets. As companies quickly evolve to address the new set of challenges posed by this shift in data usage, IT must ensure that all data, no matter where it’s generated or stored, is available and governed just as if it were still safely behind the corporate firewall.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Malcolm Chisholm as he explains the myriad challenges that mobile data introduces when addressing regulations and compliance needs, requiring new approaches to data governance. He’ll be briefed by Dave Packer of Druva, who will outline his company’s converged data protection strategy, which brings data center class capabilities to backup, availability and governance for the mobile workforce. He will share strategies to meet regional data residency, data recovery, legal hold and eDiscovery requirements and more.

Elisabeth bucci why BAs should care more about social media than they doElisabeth Bucci
Web 2.0 technologies are changing entire industries: journalism, music, publishing and television. Yet, our profession remains woefully “stuck in the 80s” when it comes to these various platforms. Due to our lack of leadership in adopting these technologies, we risk becoming irrelevant. Or worse yet: old. There are many reasons why Business Analysts should be leading the charge in adopting these technologies, chief among them are to facilitate collaboration and to improve communication. However, there is actually a more compelling reason why we should be at the forefront of the “social entreprise” or Entreprise 2.0: no other profession is better poised to lead the way into the third industrial revolution.. That’s right: we can change the world. This presentation aims to build a convincing case for why Business Analysts should be more social media savvy and will propose an action plan on how to do just that.
Note: this is a variation of the presentation given to PMI Montreal in December 2013.
Sunbelt 2013 conference presentation Hamburg, Bas ReusBas Reus
There is an advance in online collaboration tools, such as online collaboration platforms, in knowledge intensive organizations where people organize themselves to work towards a collective goal by means of online groups. We study the relationship between the structural position of ego in and between two online groups and the behavior ego exhibits in and between both groups. Using theories of structural holes, structural equivalence and structural cohesion, and Simmelian ties, we propose three structural positions of ego where two groups overlap that influences the role(s) that can be played by ego in and between both online groups. Being active in multiple online groups can foster the sharing of information between these groups, however, we argue that in certain circumstances it can work counterproductive. Social network analysis theory lacks theory on the effects of multiple group membership. In order to better understand the effect of multiple group membership on information sharing in organizational online environments, we focus on the role of ego as an active member of two online groups. We will use the term ‘bridging member’ for this scenario. We use communicative genres as organizing structures on online communities in order to determine the behavior ego plays in each group, and the effect when ego is and is not the only bridging member between the two groups. We find that the level of constrain for ego depends on the structural position of ego between two groups.

NICE - China's answer to Instagram/SwaagChris Baker
Chinese social media goes niche in 2015.
This presentation provides an introduction to NICE ...another of China's up-and-coming social media.
NICE and other Chinese social-photo apps (Yoho!Show, In and Pinco), have been growing quickly (especially since Instagram was blocked during part of 2014).
NICE is A Swaag-like picture-labelling & sharing social app that enables users to tag floating labels on their pictures in a fun and creative way.
Launched in Oct 2013, NICE has gained 1.2 million daily active users and generates an impressive 1 million new, labeled pictures every day.
Brands have moved quickly into NICE, working with celebrities, KOLs and audiences to co-create social content.
CLASS: An ideation technique for lean UX in the enterprise--Presentation for ...Nick Iozzo
An ideation technique for translating a business strategy into product requirements. The technique is based on nearly 20 years of refinement based on use within 50 different companies and 100's of projects across retail, travel, manufacturing, pharma, and high tech.
This presentation focuses on a technique that can be used by any organization regardless of their software development process. If the organization is trying to move to lean or agile, then this technique can be used to jump start the first presentation.
This technique is also practical. In the ideal world, you can start from a green field of exploring user needs and different product hypothesis. In the real world, your product has a defined strategy and mandate on what should happen by when.
Electrical power – it surrounds us wherever we go. In our homes, we have a seemingly endless supply
of electricity. Every electrical outlet represents another dynamic source of energy to power our many devices. A new air conditioner – plug it in. A new TV – plug it in. A new microwave oven – plug it in.
Moreover, we are constantly on a quest for more – an Xbox here, a surround sound system there. Of
course, there are limits to the amount of electricity that you can put on any one circuit in your home before
the circuit breaker trips and everything on that circuit stops. That is why we have multiple circuits; it
enables us to plug in even more devices until we reach the limit of energy being supplied to us. Unfortunately,
we do not have a dedicated power source for our homes; it is more like a 1940’s telephone party
line: we must share it with all of our neighbors.

Bringing Cloud Computing Out of the Shadows: Shine the light on Shadow IT wit...DivvyCloud
Cloud computing has proven revolutionary for organizations hoping to leverage technology, innovation and digital strategies to stay ahead of the competition. Business units can quickly provision up compute, storage and network resources as they need without IT bottlenecks. But easy access to cloud resources has a dark side—one that’s become a growing problem: Shadow IT. Engineers, developers and even business stakeholders are launching resources that IT is unaware of. And what IT doesn’t know can come back to haunt organizations, preventing the IT department from performing critical functions such as controlling security, compliance and costs.
Reshaping Business Through IoT: Key Technology Factors to ConsiderEurotech
The IoT is the manifestation that the raw material of the information age is datum. Data are the new source of innovation and the lever to achieve business sustainability. By extracting data from assets and products, companies can become more efficient through a strategic rethinking of their value chains and business processes. In so doing, companies will add the required readiness to shift from products to services, and eventually enter in the outcome economy. To truly embrace the digital transformation, organizations need to collect actionable data from their assets, processes, and products and then connect the OT (Operational Technology) world where data are generated to IT (Information Technology) world where data are consumed. Beside predictive maintenance and asset usage maximization/optimization the benefits are huge: the transformation of any business into a smart business, increasing competitiveness also in mature markets; the creation of new innovative products and services; and the enablement of service prosumerization.
To make this happen there are some key technology factors to consider during the implementation of an IoT architecture.

Booz Allen's Cloud cost model offers a total-value perspective on IT cost that evaluates the explicit and implicit value of a migration to cloud-based services.
With businesses now accelerating their goal to becoming a whole cloud-native interface in the
coming years, with a ground cloud-based disaster recovery strategy, they must also be embedded
within their management plans. Otherwise, every business risks losing vital data and having
its systems, operations, and services shut down by natural and artificial disasters, hardware
failures, power outages, and security risks.
LinuxCon North America 2013: Why Lease When You Can Buy Your CloudMark Hinkle
Perhaps one of the perplexing things about cloud computing is the choice around renting time in someone else’s cloud (Amazon, Google, Rackspace or a myriad of others) or building your own. It’s not unlike the age-old car buyer’s dilemma, take the lower payments and lower total miles lease or buy the car and drive it for the long haul. Cloud computing users are often faced with the same conundrum. This presentation will focus on how to buy and build a cloud that can be fulfill the needs of most users including strategies for making use of the open source private cloud or managing workloads in both the private and public cloud using open source software.

…
IT…”
become

From
a
strategic
standpoint,
they
become
invisible;
they
no

maMer.
The
staff
of
HBR
voted
"IT
Doesn't
MaHer"
the
best
ar/cle
to
appear
in
the
magazine
during
2003…”
“With
the
opportuni/es
for
gaining
strategic
advantage
from
informa/on
technology
rapidly
disappearing,
many
companies
will
want
to
take
a
hard
look
at
how
they
invest
in
IT
and
manage
their
systems.
As
a
star/ng
point,
here
are
three
guidelines
for
the
future:
• Spend
less.
Studies
show
that
the
companies
with
the
biggest
IT
investments
rarely
post
the
best
financial
results.
As
the
commodi/za/on
of
IT
con/nues,
the
penal/es
for
wasteful
spending
will
only
grow
larger.
It
is
gecng
much
harder
to
achieve
a
compe//ve
advantage
through
an
IT
investment,
but
it
is
gecng
much
easier
to
put
your
business
at
a
cost
disadvantage.
• Follow,
don’t
lead.
Moore’s
Law
guarantees
that
the
longer
you
wait
to
make
an
IT
purchase,
the
more
you’ll
get
for
your
money.
And
wai/ng
will
decrease
your
risk
of
buying
something
technologically
flawed
or
doomed
to
rapid
obsolescence.
In
some
cases,
being
on
the
cucng
edge
makes
sense.
But
those
cases
are
becoming
rarer
and
rarer
as
IT
capabili/es
become
more
homogenized.
• Focus
on
vulnerabili=es,
not
opportuni/es.
It’s
unusual
for
a
company
to
gain
a
compe//ve
advantage
through
the
dis/nc/ve
use
of
a
mature
infrastructural
technology,
but
even
a
brief
disrup/on
in
the
availability
of
the
technology
can
be
devasta/ng.
As
corpora/ons
con/nue
to
cede
control
over
their
IT
applica/ons
and
networks
to
vendors
and
other
third
par/es,
the
threats
they
face
will
proliferate.
They
need
to
prepare
themselves
for
technical
glitches,
outages,
and
security
breaches,
shifing
their
aHen/on
from
opportuni/es
to
vulnerabili/es.”
