SQL Server 2012 is a cloud-ready information platform that helps organizations unlock breakthrough insights across the organization and quickly build solutions to extend data across on-premises and public cloud, backed by mission critical confidence. Sujit Rai, a technical expert at Convonix shares its uses in business intelligence.
This presentation was delivered at one of Intergen's Twilight sessions during 2008. It provides an overview of the new features of Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and is targeted at both business and IT users.
SQL Server 2016 is now in review! The newest version promises to deliver new real-time, built-in advanced analytics, advanced security technology, hybrid cloud scenarios as well as amazing rich visualizations on mobile devices.
There are many great reasons to move to SQL 2016, however if you are still working on SQL Server 2005 you may have another good motivator - the end-of-life clock of SQL 2005 is ticking down and support is about to end April 12, 2016.
In this deck we review the significant licensing changes introduced with SQL 2012. If our experience as Microsoft's Gold Certified Member has taught us anything - it is one thing. During migrations many of our clients get outright lost when trying to figure out the number of licenses they have or need. This often leads to under-deployment, and subsequently serious compliance issues with Microsoft. And yes, in some cases over-deployment means big savings back to your department.

Microsoft SQL Server internals & architectureKevin Kline
From noted SQL Server expert and author Kevin Kline - Let’s face it. You can effectively do many IT jobs related to Microsoft SQL Server without knowing the internals of how SQL Server works. Many great developers, DBAs, and designers get their day-to-day work completed on time and with reasonable quality while never really knowing what’s happening behind the scenes. But if you want to take your skills to the next level, it’s critical to know SQL Server’s internal processes and architecture. This session will answer questions like:
- What are the various areas of memory inside of SQL Server?
- How are queries handled behind the scenes?
- What does SQL Server do with procedural code, like functions, procedures, and triggers?
- What happens during checkpoints? Lazywrites?
- How are IOs handled with regards to transaction logs and database?
- What happens when transaction logs and databases grow or shrinks?
This fast paced session will take you through many aspects of the internal operations of SQL Server and, for those topics we don’t cover, will point you to resources where you can get more information.

Improving Quality and Adoption: EIM SQL Server 2012Perficient, Inc.
As your organization matures in its understanding of the value of BI and data as a strategic asset, it's only natural it will demand more from its BI platform.
Use this growing maturity as an opportunity to introduce the concept of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) to the organization. The concept may seem foreign to some, but when examined within the context of improving the quality of the information, which ultimately leads to better adoption of the BI platform, the benefits are compelling.
Join Perficient as we explore the technologies that will introduce the EIM concept to your organization, namely Master Data Services (MDS) and Data Quality Services (DQS). We'll even see these technologies in a live demo.
Presenter Duane Schafer leads Perficient's national Microsoft business intelligence practice. He has more than 16 years of experience providing guidance and thought leadership in the areas of Enterprise Information Management, Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing.

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.

"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.
