Understanding the Value of the Cloud - Centare Lunch & Learn - June 2, 2011Eric D. Boyd
Cloud computing is one of the most important shifts in computing since PC/Client-Server from the 90s. In this presentation we will reminisce about the major milestones in computing history, look at where we are now, and dream about what the future will look like with the introduction of the cloud. Next, we will examine the challenges of the traditional data center and dig into the benefits and value provided by leveraging the cloud. Finally, we will discuss how you can identify opportunities in your organization that are a good fit for the cloud and explore strategies for getting started.

Track Keynote for the Enterprise Modernization Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Everyone is well aware that we are in tough economic times right now. However, these difficult times also present opportunities for companies that can quickly adapt to these changing conditions. When you look at what inhibits companies from being as agile as they would like, IT is often cited as a problem area. While there can be many root causes, among the most important are (1) a reliance on fragile legacy applications about which companies have a limited understanding, (2) development staff that are not sufficiently productive, and (3) disconnected team infrastructures that inhibit collaboration and traceability. These problems limit your organization's flexibility. They are costing you money. And they tie up resources that could otherwise focus on new business to bring in more revenue. This track will showcase IBM Rational's Enterprise Modernization solutions that enable organizations to: reduce project risk by managing and extracting value from their application portfolio, exploit new technologies to deliver more flexible business solutions, empower new and existing IT staff to build multi-platform applications, increase productivity with a modern software delivery platform, and improve development efficiency and collaboration by unifying multiple teams.
IBM Smarter Buildings: Detailed Overview Steve Cole
IBM celebrated its Centennial in 2011. It gave us the opportunity to reflect on what it takes to be a great company and a great brand. To do that, we remain committed to being a leader in the markets we serve….. and a company that operates on a higher standard than just what is required by law or regulation… A company that continuously reinvents itself and creates offerings that have a positive impact on our planet. And nowhere is this more important than innovations that deal energy efficiency in buildings.
This Smarter Buildings presentation illustrates the real business value of doing more with less ways that benefits the economic, operational and environmental strategies of your organization. This represents IBM’s perspective on smarter buildings, one that will introduce you to 5 key project areas you may not have thought of when you think of a "smarter building".
Our Smarter Buildings discussion presentation will illustrate the real business value of doing more with less in a way that benefits the economic, operational and environmental strategies of your organization.

• Beyond the hype - what really is cloud computing?
• The business case for cloud
• Showcases of what cloud computing is doing for New Zealand companies
• Economics of cloud computing and cost considerations
• Implementation tips and recommendations to get started
• Demonstration of Microsoft’s leading cloud productivity suite – Office365
Learn about Microsoft Office365 - a set of cloud-enabled tools that let you access your email, documents, contacts, and calendars from virtually anywhere, on almost any device. Office 365 brings together our best communication and collaboration tools including Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Lync in an always-up-to-date cloud service, for a low flexible monthly subscription. And we’ll show you this works and how to assess whether or not cloud computing makes sense for your organisation and what it takes to get there.
This presentation was given at GRC Conference in Boston (October 2010) and explains the interesting triad of not only People, Process & Technology but also Culture, Structure & Strategy. Besides, it moves beyond the 'alignment' idea and goes deep into the 'synchronization' needs of today's companies

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

As we mentioned earlier in our discussion, IBM offers solutions in 5 key areas to help you make your buildings smarter. Customers need to ask themselves…”how can you manage facilities efficiently”… “how confident are you that you can execute lease renewals that benefit your organization?”…”would the savings associated with an enterprise-wide change to more energy-efficient lighting outweigh the cost of the change itself?”The secret to answering such questions is integration. Increased instrumentation supplies the data but the interconnectedness of that data with analytics and process automation enables intelligence to be delivered. Only through integration, between real estate and facilities management processes and with other enterprise systems and processes, can organizations create smarter buildings.IBM’s solutions deliver a set of integrated solutions that integrate functional models across real estate, capital projects, facilities space management, facility maintenance, and environmental and energy management within a single enterprise-class technology platform.
