The Benefits of Social Collaboration in the EnterpriseIntergen
According to Forrester, growth in software investment is shifting to people centric and collaborative software with 37% of IT decision-makers planning to implement or expand the use of collaboration tools, compared with 25% or less who are planning investments in traditional software such as enterprise resource planning, human capital management or product life-cycle management.
The drivers for this change include:
• A greater desire for organisations to capture and re-use knowledge.
• The need to maintain connections throughout a distributed workforce.
• The need to align software systems to meet new workforce demands.
This event discussed Microsoft's vision for social collaboration in the enterprise and see how you can extend your SharePoint platform with Yammer to foster greater team collaboration, empower your employees and drive business agility.
Social tools are now being offered by a number of collaboration vendors. Many organizations are unsure of how to integrate social tools with existing team workflows. Managers must embrace, rather than hinder, integration of social collaboration tools. This storyboard, along with its accompanying tools, will help you:
* Understand social collaboration and how it builds team effectiveness.
* Develop a strategy for enabling social collaboration patterns with technology.
* Understand the major vendors and feature sets for social tools.
* Foster a culture that encourages the use of social collaboration tools.
Managers must recognize that social tools are powerful enablers of knowledge-sharing and productivity in the age of the team.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Developing Distributed High-performance Computing Capabilities of an Open Sci...Globus
COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Submitting ideas
Posts in the Socialcast community that are designated as Ideas provide a very simple way to capture yes or no votes on a single idea, whereas Challenges engages employees in coming up with multiple ideas to solve a specific issue and evaluating submitted ideas collectively.
Click on any Challenge from the list to open it. You will be at the Idea window.
Click What’s your idea? to submit an idea for the Challenge.
In a public Challenge, any Socialcast community member can submit ideas. You will see a Join button to click to join the Challenge. In a private Challenge, only those who have been invited can submit ideas or even see the Challenge.
Type your idea in the prompt box (shown below), attach files (optional) and click Enter.
Your idea is submitted. You’ll see the message “Idea accepted for further investigation.” Now others can vote on your idea.
Voting or commenting on ideas
To the right of each idea is a vote tally box. To vote “Yes” on an idea, click the up arrow. To vote “No” on an idea, click the down arrow. The tally of votes adjusts in real time. To withdraw your vote, click on the up/down arrow depending on how you’ve voted.
Choosing notification preferences
Mouseover the gear icon to the right of your idea.
You can also access the Comments window by clicking Comment located next to Thanks on the left navigation bar of the Socialcast main page.
At the dropdown menu, you can manage all message activity including editing, deleting, selecting your message to be displayed in a pop-out, exporting it as a PDF, following all message replies, and opening in a new tab.
Select Follow message replies to be notified of any activity involving your idea in your stream.
How It Works
Socialcast makes an announcement in the company stream whenever a public Town Hall is scheduled. Community members can click on the link to view the home page for the Town Hall:
Your executive team gets increased visibility and employees have the opportunity to engage in real-time conversations with management. Although each Town Hall occurs at a specific time, the host and the attendees can interact in advance, allowing everyone the chance to mull over topics, resulting in a more interesting and thought-provoking exchange of ideas.

The Thanks feature allows community members to recognize others for exemplary work. Socialcast provides a dozen different types of Thanks, ranging from Work Ethic and Problem Solver to Customer Satisfaction and Mentor. Each type of Thanks has an icon and descriptive phrase that Socialcast displays in the company stream when one community member sends Thanks to another. The community administrator can decide how many Thanks each user can send during a certain time period. The fewer Thanks each user can bestow, the more prized the recognition will be.
Viewing Thanks
Any community member can click on a Thanks icon to get more information about how the community is using that particular type of Thanks. You can see a complete list of all recipients, as well as the names of the top recipients and senders.
Sending Thanks
A community member can send Thanks to another user in the same way they can share an update. First, select the Send Thanks option above the Share box:
Then, click on the Select who you would like to Thank link. The Send Thanks to dialog will appear (see below). In the upper right corner you can see how many Thanks you have left to send. If you have used up your quota of Thanks, the Thanks icons will appear grayed out.
Enter a name at the top. Socialcast will offer name suggestions based on the first characters you enter. Select the type of Thanks you want to send and click the Attach Thanks button to continue. Socialcast will add the information to the Share box:
Enter details about how the community member earned your Thanks and click Send to post the Thanks in the company stream:
To create your own theme, begin by specifying the colors for your link, navigation icon, and background color. You also have the option to upload a background image and control its properties, such as its positioning, tiling, and scrolling. There will be an interactive mini display that mocks up your selections. You can also hit the “Preview” button to view the new theme, which only you will be able to see. Once you are satisfied with how your theme looks and feels, you must hit “Save” to apply the theme for the entire community.
Custom themes can be removed or overridden with a new theme from the “Choose your theme” section. This includes customers that already have an existing Custom Theme created by our designers. You can continue using that Custom Theme Name/Code until your theme is migrated over**.
*Any theme adjustments will only affect the Socialcast Web interface at this time.
**For customers that currently have an existing Custom Theme, we will be migrating your theme properties (hex color codes and background) to our new theme builder format over the next few months. Alternatively, you can update your theme using the new “Create your own theme” option at any time.
To setup a new SSO configuration for your community, go to Admin Settings > Security > SSO Configuration. Enabling a new SSO configuration will override any existing configurations. Further documentation, including step-by-step instructions, can be found our Developers site here: Configuring SSO/SAML
