Time to Re-Visit Your Cloud Contact Center DecisionIntelePeer
If you have looked into replacing an aging, inflexible premises-based system with a cloud-based application over the past couple of years, now might be a great time to consider your options. Or maybe you're already on the cloud but are wondering what is new?
With over 30 years experience in the communications industry, including 12 years as an industry analyst with The Pelorus Group, no one offers insight into the contact center industry like Sheila McGee-Smith.
Sheila, along with IntelePeer’s Felipe Rodriguez and IntelePeer customer Jay Nalli of Triton Technologies discuss how cloud contact center solutions will benefit your company.
Empowering The End User - The Future of IT Support, Developing a First Class ...RES
With the consumerisation of IT, the expectations and demands of the end user are rising. Users are demanding the functionality, autonomy and freedom to consume IT services that they have at home and IT departments are struggling to adapt. This presentation shows how an NHS hospital is using technology to empower and enable users to self-serve systems, services and processes.
We present how the typical model of delivering IT services can change, end users are frustrated by the lack of responsiveness to their needs, and that empowering the end user not only improves the impression of the service it can save money.

Insurance Cloud: From Tactical to Strategic Investment for European InsurersAccenture Insurance
Insurance companies have been relatively cautious about cloud adoption. However, the conversation among insurers has changed in the last few years, moving to “when and how” rather than “why.” Several factors are driving today’s insurance companies to move their applications and data into the cloud as they reassess their business opportunities.

Technology Challenges Encountered by Small & Mid-Sized Business (1).pdfSmartinfologiks
Invest in technology to build a remote and hybrid office work culture to enhance operational efficiencies in SMBs.
Market fluctuations, an increase in consumer demands, and cut-throat competition with marketing giants have been never-ending challenges for small and mid-sized businesses. The outbreak of the pandemic did wreck the backbone of Small & Mid-Sized Business and with the economy trying to recover, SMBs are likely to witness upcoming oddities.
With inflation witnessing a rise in February 2022 by 2.47 percent, it has turned out to be a major challenge for SMBs in recent quarters. Small businesses need to tighten up their seat belts to change the game by offering exceptional customer services, enhanced customer relations, and ensuring operational efficiencies.
Having backed up by appropriate technology is the only key to sustenance and plasticity for small businesses. However, 70-80% of small businesses still lack the available technology.
This piece of writing will highlight a few challenges that small businesses are likely to witness while adjusting technology in 2022 and avenues to keep pace with the same. But before this, let’s have a glance over a few benefits of how small businesses can benefit from a technology solution.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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).

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.

8. A 2020 McKinsey analysis of the top 20 insurers by
measure of gross written premiums (GWPs)
showed that the share of insurers with a digital
business increased from 1% to 70% in just five
years
Accenture estimate that 10% or less of the
overall insurance industry’s workload is
currently running on public cloud platforms.
That leaves 90% insurers without the cost and
scalability benefits the public cloud offers and
falling behind industry leaders.
As Accenture 2019 Cloud Readiness
Survey report noted, insurers who
migrated to automated operations on
cloud saw IT run costs drop
approximately 30%
