An Advanced Analytics Approach to Resource Allocation Optimization & MCM Anal...Eric Levin
View our presentation from the PMSA 2017 European Summit in Basel.
Abstract: Pharmaceutical companies spend a significant portion of their sales revenue on promoting brands through various marketing channels even in emerging markets. While a major part of the promotional budget is spent on Field Force visits, other promotional activities are equally resource intensive. In the world of competitive spending, companies are likely to overspend on some brands and channels, and underspend on the rest if not guided by insights based on data. However, an optimization study conducted at a high level may not yield the optimal benefit for the business if such a study is not in sync with the local realities of the market space.
Objectives:
• How uncovering hidden opportunities within and across portfolios of brands for boosting sales growth & reach forecast goals
• Using econometric modelling approach, the impact (incremental sales) of channels are quantified at the most granular level (territory, brick, etc.)
• How to employ non-linear optimization techniques for Bottoms Up sales and profit maximization for optimizing resources at most granular level (territory, brick, etc.)
Edgewater Ranzal hosted a series of luncheons in various cities to share real examples of how clients are leveraging Oracle Hyperion short and long-term EPM/BI solutions delivered on Oracle Exalytics to improve decision-making processes that lead to profitable growth.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
- Case studies of cost-reduction; what works and what doesn't.
- Cost saving strategies and critical success factors, and how to relate them to specific business areas and processes.
- How to identify opportunities for cost-reduction by identifying duplication of business functions/tasks, resources and services through a process view.
- How to monitor success of cost-reduction measures in real-time through dashboards & cockpits (KPI's and PPI's).

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

1. Agenda Sample of an end-of-project presentation Project Background & Scope Recommendations ! MyCall’s goal: Competitively re-tender for Tadem plc’s business - Reduce MyCall Ltd’s charge to Tadem plc but maintain profit margin - Increase efficiency and improve territory coverage
2. Project Background Customer: MyCall Limited Customer industry: Field sales outsource company Role Analysed: Regional Sales Manager – Market 1 (5 FTE*) Regional Sales Manager – Market 2 (7 FTE*) Nature of Role: To manage a regionally-based team of Sales Executives selling to either Market 1 or to Market 2 Fully Loaded Cost : Circa €75,000 per RSM FTE Customer’s client: Tadem plc (utilities company) * FTE: Full time employees in the role RSM
3. Project Scope To be delivered Implement an up to date software model for MyCall Ltd to use in independent of Staff Balance Perform a Time Driven Activity Based Costing (TD ABC) Analysis of one role (Regional Sales Manager) Make operational efficiency recommendations based on analysis
4. Key Recommendation Realign Responsibilities Key Business Insights Software => Create a Generic Regional Sales Manager Role (not Market specific) What would that role look like?
16. All Recommendations Understanding the Savings Most Savings / Efficiencies to be made in Market 1 Team Key Business Insights Software PDAs are at end of life No access to information to encourage sales ownership – CRM and email Administration support least centralised with little outsourced to other departments High level of ‘nuisance’ activity e.g. low level complaint handling
17. All Recommendations Understanding the Savings Change Initiatives Grouped – Savings Summary ! Actual cost savings will be circa 1/3 as activities will be moved to a lower salary band, not eliminated entirely For the purposes of this project, that transferred cost was not calculated
