Small and medium enterprise business solutions using data visualizationjournalBEEI
The small and medium enterprise (SME) companies optimize performance using different automated systems to highlight the operations concerns. However, lack of efficient visualization in reporting results in slow feedbacks, difficulties in extracting root cause, and minimal corrective actions. To complicate matters, the data heterogeneity has intensely increased, and it is produced in a fast manner making it unmanageable if the traditional methods of analytics are applied. Hence, we propose the use of a dashboard that can summarize the operational events using real-time data based on the data visualization approach. This proposed solution summarizes the raw data, which allows the user to make informed decisions that can give a positive impact on business performance. An interactive intelligent dashboard for SME (iid-SME) is developed to tackle issues such as measurement of cases completed, the duration of time needed to solve a case, the individual performance of handling cases and other tasks as a proof of concept. From the result, the implementation of the iid-SME approach simplifies the conveyance of the message and helps the SME personnel to make decisions. With the positive feedback obtained, it is envisaged that such a solution can be further employed for SME improvement for better profit and decision making.

Railsberry Lightning Talk: Playing with RenderAlex Koppel
Railsberry Lightning Talk: Playing with Render
Slides from the lightning talk I gave at Railsberry* on how you can wrap Rails' render function to expose universal options and and additional security to an API. It's an appetizer: I'll be talking in more detail about API uniformity and control at the Barcelona Ruby Conference in September 2012.
Best part of the talk: afterward, Yehuda Katz (yes, that @wycats) came by to tell me he had the same initial reaction [wrapping render = bad idea], but that no, the approach is quite fine. The signature is stable and ActionController::Metal does it too. Score.
* one of the sweetest Rails conferences I've been to, incidentally.

Waterfall Client Webinar: Information on the October 16 TCPA Rules ChangesWaterfall Mobile
In addition to our earlier email, we wanted to provide a forum for Waterfall clients to ask questions about the October 16 changes to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. This webinar is not mandatory, rather it's meant to be an open discussion for those who feel like such a forum would be beneficial.
In the webinar, Waterfall CMO Matt Silk will:
1) Walk through the changes to the TCPA
2) Describe the current discussion and reaction from the mobile industry
3) Provide some insight into the options mobile marketers have at their disposal
Note: this webinar is not, nor should it supplement, legal advice. We'd like to remind clients to personally consult an attorney for specific counsel about telemarketing legalities.
בעזרת הכנה לפסיכומטרי לפני הקורס תוכל להגדיל את היתרון היחסי שלך עוד לפני שהקורס מתחיל. כדאי לעשות חזרה על נושאים כמותיים ולהתחיל ללמוד מילים לפסיכומטרי בשבועות שלפני הקורס.
