Eliminate Redundant Spend and Increase Savings with Coupa Inventory Coupa Software
Coupa Inventory provides real-time visibility into stock on hand while ordering, eliminating redundant spend and reducing waste. Learn how you can better leverage existing inventory, whether it's across supply closets, stock rooms or manufacturing warehouses.
Studies show that top performing companies are using “touchless” (or straight-through) processing to process invoices in 1-3 days, compared to more than 15 days for the average company. This enables them to maximize discount capture and “best pricing” through spend analysis and contract management.
Every invoice that is processed in a touchless manner saves a tremendous amount of time, resources and money. Many top performing companies have implemented touchless processing and they continue to reap the benefits and improve year after year.
This 45-minute session with industry expert David Hay will discuss:
-How touchless processing can be achieved
-Process change and automation
-Collaborating with procurement to achieve touchless transactions
-Usage of cloud and mobile technologies

FCB Partners Webinar: Measure What Matters FCBPartners
Join Steve Stanton, Managing Director of FCB Partners, as he leads a roundtable discussion on the challenge of managing metrics. This 30-minute webinar is an introduction to our new Master Class on Measurement (premiering November 18 in Boston).
Without question, measurement is the most difficult aspect of process management. With so many choices it’s tough to select the right measures and create an actionable scorecard. Too often, organizations measure what they can, measure what they can measure easily, or measure what they can measure easily that produces a positive number.
But, without a great measurement architecture, organizations can flounder with too many measures or misleading data, or just lagging indicators.
In this practical webinar, Steve will focus on the following themes:
Why is measurement so tough?
How can we find the right few measures for a process?
How to use measures effectively
How to improve the process of measurement itself

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
