BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS WITH BI AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONJen Stirrup
The objective of Digital Transformation is improve the quality and resilience of digital services to serve customers better, and data is a cruel part of fulfilling that ambition. As the organisation moves forward in pursuit of its strategic ambitions, it will need to remain focused on the stabilisation and improvement of existing technology and data foundations. To succeed, organisations need continuously strive to improve data, systems and processes for people using digital solutions; it is not simply digitising paper processes. The challenge of digital transformation is to work with people, but how can you build systems that serve them well to achieve and deliver more in a customer-focused way? Innovators will relish the opportunity to adopt new technology, but laggars are often waiting for proof that this will help them deliver better services or products. The challenge is that the adoption of digital solutions varies significantly from one person to the next, one team to the next and one organisation to the next. In this keynote, there will be a discussion of the industry landscape followed by takeaways that will help digital transformation in your organization.

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.

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).

Small businesses are using mobile as an opportunity to make use of efficiency gains and productivity.Apple claims that 92% of the Fortune 5000 companies will be testing or deploying iPads in 2012.Mobile BI going mainstream.
External factors driving Mobile BI adoption: Consumerization of IT, device maturity, user expectations and constant connectivityInternal drivers: Increasing productivity, improving data delivery and real-time reporting and analytics
Access external sources and integrate those sources regardless of their origin or format – this would allow us to integrate historical data with data that comes in on a day-today basis• Move easily from summarized views to more detailed views• Change summarizations on the fly• Work with large volumes of data, allow users to share this information and support individual users’ personalization of DataAllow IT to manage data in a way that guards against unlimited user access but does not impede the flow of data inward – this would ensure the implementation and maintenance of repeatable processes• Update, secure and store data while ensuring it remains readily accessible• Provide solutions that not only can be used by business users, but are also demanded by business users• Remove the dependence on spreadsheets and provide a modern approach to data access and summarization• Create repeatable, accurate processes that result in time savings and operational efficiencies while delivering actionable insights

A SQL Azure server is a logical group of databases and acts as a central administrative point for multiple databases. Each SQL Azure server includes logins similar to those in instances of SQL Server on your premises. Each SQL Azure server has a fully qualified unique domain name, which is produced during the SQL Azure server provisioning process. In the following example, servername refers to the name of the SQL Azure server:servername.database.windows.net Each SQL Azure server can contain multiple databases. In order to create a new database, you can either use: - the Management portal or - the CREATE DATABASE (SQL Azure Database) statement.In each database, you can create tables, views, indices, stored procedures, etc.The provisioning process creates a read-only master database automatically. The master database: - keeps track of which logins have permission to create databases or other logins. (You must be connected to the master database whenever you CREATE, ALTER, or DROP logins or databases.) - The master database also provides SQL Azure usage metrics that you can view.

- Windows Authentication will not work. You will need to use SQL Authentication, along with your user name and password. - It isn’t possible to connect via SSMS via the normal initial ‘Database Connection’ window. Instead, you need to ‘cancel’ out of that window and click on ‘New Query’, which brings up a ‘Connect to Server’ window. Creating a table in your Azure database is very similar to creating a table in an on-premise SQL Server. However, there is one main difference; the Azure table must have a clustered index on the table because of the replication technology.The Azure data is written to one primary and two secondary replicas, and the data is the same across all three replicas. A table which doesn’t have a clustered index is basically a heap, which means that the data rows and pages aren’t ordered. The replication technology requires that the data pages and rows are ordered so that it is faster and easier to assess if the data has been written across all three replicas: it is this point at which the data is considered to be committed.
The connection to SQL needs to be ‘.Net Providers\\SqlClient Data Provider’.Use SQL Server Authentication in order to gain access to the SQL Azure database.
It is possible to use SQL Azure as a source for the Reporting Services. There are two main differences:The data source should be explicitly specified as ‘Microsoft SQL Azure’.For security, it is not possible to use Windows Authentication; SQL Authentication must be used
