I Need it Right Now! Successfully Equipping and Empowering the Digital WorkforceRES
Consumer applications are just a swipe or a touch away, but organizations still struggle to give workers access to the applications and IT services they need, when and where they need it. They want to be productive – and no more so than on their first day in a new role. Yet access to the apps, content and services they need can often take days to deliver.
Ensure the Day One productivity of your organization’s employees with easy-to-use, enterprise-ready and easily compatible technology. You can become the champion of today’s empowered workers.

The User Enablement Dilemma: How do you empower users while maximizing securi...RES
Multiple personal devices, applications, locations, and job changes make it difficult for organizations to keep track of users and their access permissions. Unauthorized access by former employees and lost or stolen devices pose security risks like data breaches and non-compliance. Effective solutions involve profiling each user in detail, unifying user data across systems, and enabling contextual awareness to monitor users and their devices in real-time throughout their employment lifecycle. This helps secure the digital workforce while allowing flexibility.
Security to ensure quality patient care should be at the forefront of the mind of healthcare organizations. The risks can be catastrophic. Do you feel the security at your organization is up to par with the needs of your organization and the speed of your employees?
Are Your IT Professionals Fire-Fighting When They Should Be InnovatingRES
The document discusses how IT professionals often spend too much time "fire-fighting" or dealing with routine tasks rather than innovating. It suggests that automation can help by reducing wasted time on repetitive tasks. Specifically, selectively automating routine IT processes through intelligent workflow management and tools can help alleviate service desk issues, free up IT staff time, and allow staff to focus more on innovation. This helps the business be better served by making IT operations more efficient and consistent while improving the end user experience.

Beyond the Enterprise App Store – Webinar SlidesRES
This document summarizes a presentation about extending the capabilities of traditional enterprise app stores. It discusses how an IT store can automate the delivery and return of all IT services, not just apps, on a 24/7 basis. An IT store allows users to access services through a single portal and shifts responsibility for costs and services from IT to individual employees and business units. It also demonstrates how an IT store from RES Software can reduce service desk tickets, improve worker productivity, and provide a 225% ROI through automated and proactive service delivery. The presentation argues that an IT store bridges the gap between business and IT by transforming how users consume services.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
