Ask the Experts Panel: How Customers Add Value to ServiceNow Discovery and Se...Precisely
As organizations today try to ensure that their digital transformation is executed as efficiently as possible, IT teams are tasked with delivering an ever-increasing number of services to the business. To effectively manage these mission-critical services, IT needs to know how they work—which infrastructure components and applications deliver a service and how they interact. Without this service visibility, there’s no easy way to resolve service outages, optimize service architectures, or assess the service impact of infrastructure changes. This is even more challenging when the business relies on siloed legacy systems like the mainframe and IBM i.
ServiceNow® Discovery builds on discovered infrastructure data to identify all the Configuration Items (CIs) that support a service, along with their service-specific relationships. It works hand-in-hand with ServiceNow® Service Mapping, which automates the service mapping process — creating a complete, up-to-date, and accurate record of your digital services in the ServiceNow® Configuration Management Database (CMDB). IT organizations with mainframe and IBM i can get more value out of these vital ServiceNow® Workflows by leveraging Precisely Ironstream to bring in mission-critical machine and log data from these previously siloed systems.
Watch this Ask the Experts Panel as they explore customer success stories and discuss how organizations are using ServiceNow and Ironstream to deliver a comprehensive, real-time view of their IT landscape. Our experts will discuss:
• How Discovery and Service Mapping Workflows allow customers to optimize their IT infrastructure
• Why mainframe and IBM i machine and log data vital to IT Ops teams
• How Ironstream enhances Service Mapping and Discovery to strengthen IT operations

ScaleFocus works with financial institutions to help them embrace digital transformation through adopting disruptive technologies, APIs, and cross-platform software to build new, customer-centric business models. ScaleFocus has experience implementing solutions for analytics, cloud, and HR transformation to improve processes, decisions, and engagement for financial clients.

Big Data: Are you ready for it? Can you handle it? ScaleFocus
Big data presents both opportunities and challenges for companies. It provides a competitive advantage but organizing, analyzing, and drawing accurate conclusions from vast amounts of unsorted data can be difficult. Companies must critically examine their data to avoid making miscalculations from biases, gaps, or false senses of reliability. Technical solutions like Hadoop can help by supporting flexible handling of multiple data sources at low cost for tasks like data staging, processing, and archiving. However, big data requires experienced teams to ask the right questions and leverage these tools to accomplish business goals, rather than viewing them as guarantees of success. Companies must assess their readiness by considering resources, change management, success criteria, and partner selection.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

PoC for Fraud Prevention SSRS Reports
Business Case: AIG Mexico had implemented an initial phase of SSRS development as a part of a Fraud Prevention initiative aimed to enable the Fraud Management department to have clear reports whenever insured behavior changes - there is an unusual change in payment method or frequency, or there are a large number of policies logged to a single customer. The PoC phase developed from scratch and improved the existing reports.
Technical Solution:
The technical landscape is comprised of Microsoft technologies – Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. ScaleFocus’ team provided reports optimization, new reports development, User Interface design of the reports, and SQL scripts to allow specialized reporting capabilities that enable business to run queries against various data marts.
Developed from scratch;
Interface with Sistran SISE, Agent Link and EMMA;
Database files are transformed into tables, and reporting is implemented based on these tables using the bulk copying data (bcp) command in MS SQL Server.
Achievements:
Reports can be published either in native mode on the SSRS server through a Web Service or in integrated mode on a SharePoint Server. The data is sourced from Microsoft SQL Server. Improved and new SSRS reports as a part of a Fraud Prevention.
Improved business logic;
Developed new reports.
NDA/DAFO
The EDW is based on Microsoft technologies – MS SQL Server. ScaleFocus’ team provided business analysis, data analysis, design and ETL development services to allow ad hoc reporting capabilities that enable business to run queries against various data marts. The data is extracted from various source systems and is fed to the EDW on a nightly basis to avoid conflict with online users. The EDW and datamarts were delivered to allow complex reporting, analytics and data mining.
The goal of the project was to achieve dramatic improvements in WellPoint’s core Enterprise Business Systems such as: Provider network management, Provider data maintenance, Provider credentialing, Product development and sales, Provider contracting, Claims adjudication, Regulatory compliance and Member Services. As part of the project the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) had to be redesigned and aligned with the expected changes.
