Data Visualization in SharePoint and Office 365AntonioMaio2
Data Visualization in SharePoint is the ability to use appropriate tools to cultivate and present data in an interactive and compelling visual representation by way of dashboard, report or chart. Although a number of data visualization tools are available, many organizations continue to struggle with making the best decisions regarding which tools to leverage and how data should be displayed. Common challenges include the proliferation of different screen types and sizes, the rapid pace of change in Microsoft’s Business Intelligence arena, and the abundance of excess data.
In this roundtable we will provide insight into the SharePoint and Microsoft BI stack and clarification on the data visualization options available. We will cover Power BI, Power Pivot, Datazen, and out-of-the-box solutions to name a few. We will also conduct a visual analysis demo on a mobile device and show rapid results with no code solutions.

Introduction
ONE: WHAT WAS ERP?
TWO: WHY ARE WE CHANGING FROM ERP TO BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS?
THREE: THE CHALLENGES OF CHANGING A GENRE CONCLUSION
Is ERP on Cloud the next step for your business? | Cloud ERP BenefitsVIENNA Advantage
MARKET TRANSFORMATION
In the past few years the biggest and oldest ERP providers earned a reputation for time-consuming deployments, costly maintenance, outdated user interfaces, and general inflexibility.
But as enterprise solutions market is changing through the dynamics created by new technologies and devices, ERP providers are forced to move from their rigid image to more flexible, cloud based and user friendly image.
Consumer level applications and social platforms have transformed the thinking of people towards software and business applications.
Business users and IT specialists are looking for faster deployments and less maintenance, therefore the use of cloud solutions – especially in the form of software as a service (SaaS) – has increased rapidly.
Demand for ERP on Cloud Solutions
Companies are looking for ready made platforms they can build their specific solutions on, with least effort in product development.
An InformationWeek’s 2014 State of Cloud report found that 64% of companies (all with 50 or more employees) using some form of cloud technology have at least one SaaS app in the mix.
Research firm Gartner predicted that at least 30% of service-oriented businesses will move the majority of their ERP applications to the cloud by 2018.
PwC recent analysis of ERP on Cloud adoption shows that net new license revenues for traditional ERP systems have been declining since 2013 to a level that has already been surpassed by global revenue from cloud-based SaaS solutions.
Why Cloud Computing Matters?
ERP on cloud benefits customers in multiple ways, from providing application scalability and overall business flexibility to reduction of hardware costs and implementation time.
Cloud computing technology, especially the SaaS model, made it easier for small and medium companies to acquire cloud ERP solutions and not have to manage hardware, software, and upgrades while reducing up-front expenses.
VIENNA Advantage ERP and CRM is an established player of the new age of Cloud-based ERP systems. VIENNA Advantage is already working with various partners in many countries as an Application Backbone to Cloud Solutions and differentiates itself from traditional ERP players in its approach towards its platform and features.
Benefits of VIENNA Advantage SaaS Solution
1. One Application Instance and DB used by various customers and Users
2. All customers run the same version
3. More penetrated in the market
4. New customer means new Tenant
5. Meant for Small companies only
6. No real control over upgrades
7. No or very few customizations
8. Lesser Cost than Real Cloud Solution
Benefits of VIENNA Advantage Real Cloud Solution
1. Every company has its own application and database instance
2. No force to upgrade
3. Fully Customizable
4. Meant for Enterprises and Small companies
5. Higher cost compared to SaaS
6. Meant for scalable enterprise Applications
Jade Global’s team of ServiceNow specialists work closely with global enterprises that need better visibility and efficiency in their software. Enriched software data can benefit functions across IT and the entire enterprise such as Security & Operations, HR, Application Portfolio Management, and IT Change.
Last November, Ergo hosted an event for IT professionals who were anxious to hear about the future of business technology. The event entitled Year Zero offered insights into “new ways of working”.
We call it Year Zero because we believe it’s the start of a new era in business technology. The availability of new technologies, the consumerisation of IT, and the economic downturn, have all fundamentally changed the way we go about IT. Cost and complexity are no longer acceptable. Organisations must now undertake a journey to turn IT into a platform for business innovation.
Sage EVP Partners and Alliances Alan Laing announced that a revamped partner program will be unveiled later in 2017. This new program will emphasize new sales. It also seems likely that a revamped tier structure will be announced rewarding the addition of new customers.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

2. The foundation for the next generation of ERP
The consumerization of IT drives the reorientation of products and services used within an enterprise to
be more focused around the individual user. The adoption of popular consumer market technologies
and devices outside of work have an unavoidable impact on enterprises as they are introduced in the
workplace. Business management solutions such as ERP are no longer an island designed for users in
administrative functions, but must be designed to connect to users in both the front and back office.
This new interaction paradigm is user-centric, collaborative, participative, and social. These words may
sound a bit lofty, but actually can be harnessed to drive process efficiency, improved productivity, higher
customer satisfaction, and better decision making. Businesses can experience great success when
introducing a business management solution designed to support these next generation realities.
Ultimately, the adoption of a user-centric ERP will not be a nice-to-have, but an economic necessity for
the enterprise.
Sage ERP X3 introduces an entirely new user
experience, and a range of new technology components
that are recognized as the best, forward-looking choices
in the industry built for multi-browser and mobile
usage, designed to deliver rapid search results, capable
of supporting web service development, and integrated
with document management.
Simply put, Sage ERP X3 is not just another product
release, it is also the foundation of a next generation
ERP designed for the connected, mobile, social,
collaborative, intelligent enterprise of today and the
future.
The technology behind Sage ERP X3
Sage serves millions of start-ups, and small- and medium-sized businesses around the globe. In these
competitive business segments, there can be limited IT departments, varying levels of executive support
for IT initiatives, and no thorough user training or access to professional services. Comprehensively
supporting customers within these segments and providing the solutions and support services to help
them thrive is unique to Sage, and contributes to its ability to develop user-centric solutions to maximize
success for mid-sized businesses.
Sage ERP X3 is an integral part of the global technology strategy for Sage to better support those
customers. In fact, it’s this ability to leverage the Sage global footprint, and the breadth and depth of its
product and service portfolios that enables Sage and Sage ERP X3 to help customers excel in a
connected business world and differentiate with so many competitors in the marketplace.
Sage ERP X3 | Technology
3. The stability and predictability of Sage ERP X3
To drive a successful technology strategy with an emphasis
on mobility, Sage balances the need for stability and
predictability in the core system of record, the backbone of
enterprise IT, against the rapid release cadence required to
mobilize the enterprise.
Mobile apps are entirely driven by the pace of adoption. To
drive innovation can mean to fail fast, fail often, and learn
quickly; however, this is most certainly not what anyone
wishes for in an ERP solution where stability and reliability
are paramount.
The architecture of Sage ERP X3 allows the solution to be
both, be mobile first without compromising more traditional
ERP values. Naturally, the cloud is the enabling technology
behind the connected, social enterprise. With all the talk
about SaaS it is easy to forget that it is one aspect of the
cloud, be it important aspect for some applications and
segments.
However, customers want choice of deployment, and many businesses still prefer an on-premise
business management solution. This is why Sage subscribes to hybrid cloud technology. This is an
architecture that avoids the lock-in that comes with conventional SaaS solutions which typically run on
proprietary technology. It provides customers choice whether to deploy in the cloud, on-premise, or in a
hybrid model where the cloud can supplement on-premise resources.
Deployment Options
Sage ERP X3 offers on-premise and hosted (private cloud) deployment options to best meet your
requirements as a mid-sized customer. Since Sage ERP X3 is designed to scale from 8 to more than 2,000
concurrent users, and deploy locally or in multi-country scenarios it can help you succeed in today’s
competitive marketplace no matter where your business takes you. The proven implementation process

4. User Experience
Woven into the DNA of Sage ERP X3 is an exceptional user experience so it’s no surprise that usability is
a primary focus of the ERP and helps to foster a wide adoption by all users across the organization.
Usability enhances individual efficiency while contributing to the improvement of business performance
company-wide. Sage ERP X3 is designed to give a true web experience throughout including web pages,
hyperlinks, bookmarks, search and more. Sage ERP X3 provides broad yet simple personalization
capabilities for all pages of the application, directly in the hands of end-users.
In addition, Sage ERP X3 guides the users efficiently
in their journey thanks to visual processes and
workflows – just another way that the solution is
designed with the user experience as a priority.
Power users can personalize the screen layout of
Sage ERP X3 in WYSIWYG mode, and share their
personalization with others. This personalization can
be defined by user and by role, shared and shipped
from one environment to another. A default
personalization is supplied within Sage ERP X3, based
on the experience of our consultants.
Security
Security was a strong focus in the design and development of Sage ERP X3. The solution was audited and
certified by a third-party for safe operation in the Cloud. Sage ERP X3 supports external identity
providers like LDAP, Oauth2 (Google and Microsoft Live accounts) and Sage ID. This improves security by
offloading the management of user credentials, and also improves the user experience by providing a
Single Sign-On (SSO) experience. User credentials do not transit through the ERP when integrated with
Oauth2 identity providers or with Sage ID. In addition, communications with the various client
components can be secured with HTTPS, and communications between server-side components are
authenticated with certificates.
Collaboration
Collaboration between users is another important topic
that enhances the efficiency of ERP customers. The
collaboration platform within Sage ERP X3, and the
TEAMS functionality allows users throughout the
organization to better share, review and contribute to
documents, templates and processes using the teams
functionality within Sage ERP X3 company-wide.

5. Openness
Integration and the ability to exchange information securely were
key drivers for Sage ERP X3. The solution is architected around
RESTful Web APIs, with simple JSON feeds. External processes can
easily consume data feeds coming from the ERP and the ERP can
also easily consume data feeds from the external world.
All the new ERP clients (mobile client, web UI, Microsoft
Office add-ins) interact with the platform through the
RESTful Web API. Service orientation is handled at the
heart of the ERP rather than through a separate
middleware tier.
A closer look at the architecture of Sage ERP X3
The architecture of Sage ERP X3 is organized in layers so that data management, process execution,
and information display are handled independently. This multitier architecture ensures that the ERP
operations are highly reliable in all circumstances. The following diagram summarizes the architecture
of Sage ERP X3.

6. Clients
Web Interface
Sage ERP X3 is accessible from PCs and laptops, even an Apple Mac and Linux PC, via its web interface.
The web interface runs on every modern browser (IE9 or above, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari), and
it is built in HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.
The interface for Sage ERP X3 is redesigned to be fully
compliant with modern web standards. For example, every
page has its own URL which can be bookmarked or emailed;
the browser’s back button and history function as part of the
ERP; communications are asynchronous; and user choices
such as last tab visited, column ordering, folded/unfolded
sections are saved transparently. The portal and the
navigation menus within Sage ERP X3 have been redesigned
to provide a more pleasant and fluid user experience, and are
complemented by an efficient and rapid search service.
The Sage ERP X3 web interface has been adapted for tablet devices as well. Gestures are recognized and
user-interface elements can be zoomed to ease direct manipulation. Tablet users can choose to access
specific ERP functions through mobile applications or access the entire ERP through the web interface.
Mobile Devices
Mobility is critical in supporting agile businesses and ensuring the efficient distribution of information in
real time. The Sage ERP X3 mobility platform features support for multiple devices and operating
systems including smartphones and tablets, and Android and Apple iOS.
Sage ERP X3 mobile application framework, written
in HTML 5 and JavaScript, is web based making it
accessible from mobile applications that are
optimized for touch and small screens. It is
downloaded and updated directly from the ERP’s
web server, and the applications themselves are
modeled via dictionary artifacts and then published
on the ERP portal. Users can browse through the
list of applications that have been published and
install them on their devices, and when an
application is installed the dictionary artifacts are
downloaded and cached on the device.
Once installed, mobile applications can be used either in online or offline mode. In online mode, the
applications interact directly with the ERP through its Web API. In offline mode, the applications can
display ERP data on the device. Data entry is also supported, by storing the data locally on the device
and letting users synchronize to the server when connectivity becomes available later.
Sage ERP X3 | Technology
7. The service oriented architecture (SOA) of Sage ERP X3 ensures that the mobile applications rely on the
same dictionary artifacts as the desktop and office clients, and all clients share the same business logic
written in the language of Sage ERP X3. This makes the design very agile allowing for the development,
customization and publishing of mobile applications without a major investment in development
resources.
In fact, developers do not need to learn new skills -- they can leverage their existing ERP programming
skills and are not required to dive into the specifics of mobile devices such as APIs and native languages.
Several mobile applications such as purchase approval, expenses management, and sales information
are bundled with Sage ERP X3. These applications can be used out-of-the-box, or customized, and new
mobile applications can be cost-effectively developed as mentioned earlier.
Microsoft Office Add-ins
Sage ERP X3 includes a suite of Microsoft Office add-ins for Excel, Word and PowerPoint that serve as
collaboration tools for sharing documents and templates between members of a team. These add-ins
provide live links between Microsoft Office documents and the ERP data such as Excel tables,
PowerPoint tables and charts, and Word mass mailing content linked to data feeds.
In addition, Microsoft Word can also be used as a reporting
tool, by populating a template document with a data feed
from a specific ERP record. The links are saved together
with the Microsoft Offices documents that can then be
circulated, re-opened and refreshed as necessary.
For security reasons, user credentials are not kept in the
documents. When a user opens an existing document,
he or she will be prompted for credentials, if not already
authenticated, and access to Sage ERP X3 granted with the
individual’s own security profile.
Web Services
Sage ERP X3 delivers standard capabilities for web-based services that enable customers to integrate
external or custom-built systems to support their ERP business requirements. As a result of these core
capabilities, any Sage ERP X3 user can publish user interfaces for numerous functions available for
consumption by a web service application. Used primarily as a means for businesses to communicate
with each other and with clients, web services allow organizations to communicate data without
intimate knowledge of each other's IT systems behind the firewall.
The architecture of Sage ERP X3 is based on REST, and as such all the services that power interactive
clients (mobile, web browsers, add-ins) can be used to access the ERP programmatically.
This REST API is SData 2.0 compliant and stateless. The REST API gives access to all the ERP services
developed with the new dictionary artifacts (classes and representations), but it does not give access to
the classic services inherited from the previous version of Sage ERP X3. These classic services are
available through SOAP services for backward compatibility, and are powered by a different web stack
(Java server) than the REST API (node.js).

8. Web Stack
The Sage ERP X3 web stack is built on components widely used in Cloud solutions. Below is some
information to better acquaint you with the web stack components used within Sage ERP X3. All of the
components listed below are scalable and may be deployed in clusters. Regarding the web servers, a
load balancer is included, to front-end the node.js processes.
Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side
and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, and
can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux and
FreeBSD.Fast and asynchronous, node.js is notably used by Groupon, SAP,
LinkedIn, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Walmart, and Paypal.
Elasticsearch is a search server based on Lucene, a free, open source information
retrieval software library. It provides a distributed, multitenant-capable full-text
search engine with a RESTful web interface and schema-free JSON documents.
Elasticsearch is developed in Java and is used by Deezer, github, and Mac-Graw
Hill, Foursquare, Etsy, FDA, CERN and Stack Exchange.
mongoDB is a document database for administration data and documents that is
fast, scalable, and able to work very efficiently with JavaScript structures. It is
regarded as the most popular NoSQL database system available today.
Companies using mongoDB to store production data include Expedia, eBay,
Foursquare, LinkedIn, SAP, SourceForge, CERN, github, and the New York Times.
Application Server
The Sage ERP X3 application server is composed of a large set of services designed to ease the
configuration and the administration of the ERP platform. This includes a batch server to schedule tasks
and manage recurring tasks, and a management console to administrate the components and services
offered by the solution. In addition, there is a workflow engine, as part of the application server, that
can be triggered by any business event, a comprehensive set of import and export tools, and log and
profiling tools designed to tune the performance of the ERP at any level.
Data Tier
SQL server and Oracle, the leading relational databases, may be used with Sage ERP X3, and all
documentation stored in a mongoDB repository.
Reporting and Business Intelligence
Extracting and distributing relevant information is critical in an ERP solution. The reporting and analytics
capabilities as well as the library of predefined reports within Sage ERP X3 centralize data and enable
real-time access to key business data. Standard reporting and analytics capabilities within Sage ERP X3
include requesters to quickly build ad-hoc requests that can be displayed in user dashboards, and a
standard data mart can connect to several business intelligence solutions (SAP Business Objects for
instance). Specifically, this data mart can be personalized through a report dictionary with hundreds of
predefined reports, associated to SAP Crystal Reports printing engine.
