Microsoft Ignite Recap: SharePoint & OneDrive for Business with Vlad & DrewDrew Madelung
Join Microsoft MVPs Vlad Catrinescu and Drew Madelung and special guest Mark Kashman the week after Ignite for a recap of the most important SharePoint and OneDrive for Business news that was announced. With the dust and excitement from Ignite settled, and the most important features out and tested, Vlad and Drew will cover the biggest and most important news from Ignite!
This is the PPT slide which was during the webinar session conducted by myself and Microsoft MVP Vijai Anand on what's Microsoft Kaizala and how to empower your mobile workforce using Microsoft Kaizala .
A Microsoft 365 helps meet your organization’s needs for robust security, reliability, and user productivity. Because security is significant for business success, Microsoft has policies, controls, and systems built into Microsoft 365 to help keep your information safe. A Microsoft 365 company intranet lets you organize, connect and manage all parts of your business in one place.
Create a single source of truth
The starting point for building a data-driven culture is establishing a single source of truth. We make this easy with Power BI, a modern BI cloud service that connects to all of your data, wherever it lives, in the cloud or on premises, Microsoft or non-Microsoft. It delivers insights to you in any way, anywhere, from mobile to web, as well as embedded in apps, both first party and third party. Office 365 further extends this with versions that allow you to quickly look at differences, auditing and roll back, allowing you to confidently manage the single version of truth.
Analyze & visualize data
The next step is to make it easy to analyze and explore data, then share it out seamlessly. Here we deliver the industry leading analyst tool with Excel, which allows you to ask questions at the pace of your business transformation, in a tool you use daily. Sometimes it's easier for us to spot trends and outliers when data is presented visually. Power BI makes visualization simple and easy. Sometimes we want both. Power BI integrates natively with Excel, so users can easily dive deeper into visualizations from Excel and vice-versa. Together with Visio, you can visualize complex process flows directly into Power BI.
Run your business in real time with live dashboards
All of the visualizations and dashboards you create in Power BI, Excel, and Visio can be programmed to update in real-time, so that you can react to opportunities and threats as soon as they appear.
Put insights at the center of teamwork
Lastly, with the growing importance of teamwork in the modern workplace it’s critical that teams can collaborate on data in real-time. Power BI and Excel both integrate natively with Teams and Office 365, making it easier to create consensus based on data.
Conclusion
All of these capabilities add up to better, faster decision-making – a 2017 study by Forrester found that with Microsoft 365 E5 employees make decisions in 18% less time – think about how much faster your business could move with decisions made in hours or days rather than weeks.

DataOps - Big Data and AI World London - March 2020 - Harvinder AtwalHarvinder Atwal
Title
DataOps, the secret weapon for delivering AI, data science, and business intelligence value at speed.
Synopsis
● According to recent research, just 7.3% of organisations say the state of their data and analytics is excellent, and only 22% of companies are currently seeing a significant return from data science expenditure.
● Poor returns on data & analytics investment are often the result of applying 20th-century thinking to 21st-century challenges and opportunities.
● Modern data science and analytics require secure, efficient processes to turn raw data from multiple sources and in numerous formats into useful inputs to a data product.
● Developing, orchestrating and iterating modern data pipelines is an extremely complex process requiring multiple technologies and skills.
● Other domains have to successfully overcome the challenge of delivering high-quality products at speed in complex environments. DataOps applies proven agile principles, lean thinking and DevOps practices to the development of data products.
● A DataOps approach aligns data producers, analytical data consumers, processes and technology with the rest of the organisation and its goals.
IBM's Watson is a machine-learning platform that’s been built to mirror the same learning process that humans have: Observe, Interpret, Evaluate and Decide. Through the use of this cognitive framework, Watson can search through a database of information and pull out key insights to bridge gaps in human knowledge. It’s expertise scaling for enterprise.
Watson has already helped businesses across a variety of industries increase their customer engagement, data discovery and informed decision making abilities. Is your business next?

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).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Big Data is about understanding what your customers are saying and
thinking.
Anything can be understood and processed but it requires time to analyze
and understand.
Any device that creates data can produce valuable information.
Try different things and let the patterns emerge.
But Where Is Big Data’s ROI?
Collecting data - the kind of data that provides valuable insights into
customer preferences, cost savings and revenue generation.
Roughly 40% of companies are unsure whether they’ll receive any
return—and that includes 38% of companies that have already made
some investment in big data, according to Gartner data (437 large
companies surveyed in June 2015).
“Gartner has also warned that the majority of big data projects in the
short term are likely to fail.”
