Facebook, PayPal, Alibaba, Uber—these seemingly disparate companies have upended entire industries by harnessing a single phenomenon: the platform business model. In this session, professor and author Marshall Van Alstyne will explore the what, how, and why of this revolution and provide an “owner’s manual” for creating a platform marketplace. Revealing the strategies behind some of today’s rising platforms, Marshall Van Alstyne will explain how entrepreneurs—and traditional companies—can thrive in this new world.
Platform Shift: How New Business Models Are Changing the Shape of IndustryMarshall Van Alstyne
Companies that can transform their traditional business models into network models will have a competitive advantage based on new insights into pricing, network effects, supply chains, and strategy. These principles show how dotcom companies like Airbnb, Amazon, Apple and Uber managed, in a relatively short time, to attract millions of clients worldwide. But they apply also to traditional product companies like Sony, shoe companies like Nike, and spice companies like McCormick. New business models help these companies extend existing transactions to new, associated products and services. Platforms beat products every time. This talk reveals the secret of Internet-driven platforms, why they happen, and what changes they imply.

Beyond Uber: How the Platform Business Model Connects the WorldApplicoInc
What do Airbnb, Alibaba, and Uber all have in common (besides multibillion-dollar valuations)? None of these companies directly create the value that their users consume. They all operate with a different business model: the platform. This talk explains the platform business model and how it works. It also looks at why this phenomenon is much bigger than consumer ecommerce and is starting to disrupt more traditional enterprise markets, including everything from enterprise software and CRM systems to healthcare and finance.

“Software is eating the world” said Netscape founder Marc Andreessen in his Wall Street Journal 2011 op-ed to describe how digital technology has transformed the world of business. We divide the disruption into two stages; efficient pipelines disrupting inefficient pipelines and platforms disrupting pipelines. Most Internet applications during the 1990s involved the creation of highly efficient pipelines—online systems for distributing goods and services that out-competed incumbent industries. Online pipelines tended to have very low marginal costs of distribution—sometimes as low as zero. This allowed them to target and serve large markets with much smaller investment. We are now in stage two where platforms disrupt pipelines. They bring news sources of supply to market, change value consumption by facilitating new forms of consumer behavior, change quality control through crowd sourced curation, and bring new market middlemen by aggregating fragmented markets.
Consider first that platforms are becoming a dominant form of business organization. Then consider how you transition an existing product to a platform. This talk illustrates steps to make the transition. It then describes what an open business model looks like and compares differences in openness of Apple, Google, Microsoft and others.

APIs and Beyond - Open Distribution PlatformsMartin Tantow
Not having an API today is like not having a website in the 90s. Open APIs are a no-brainer in the IT landscape of 2010. However I'd like to share some thoughts on what I believe is next. Will we still be talking about APIs, API management, etc in a few years from now? What role do APIs play in a multi-channel distribution play?
Commerce technology of the past stifles marketing organizations of the futureDirk Hoerig
Marketers are responsible for building relationships with end-customers, yet most rely on IT to reach those customers. As consumer expectations and technology changes, marketers need to be even more responsive to customers, without needing to engage IT. To keep up with this new age, commerce platforms need to offer their functionality (orders, carts, inventory, etc) as discrete API-based services that are consumed by various user interfaces and marketing technology.
The State of API Integration Report 2017 helps to address the proliferation challenge by providing trends, insights on ease of integration, data on where the industry is strong, and where it is going next. The data presented here comes from the Cloud Elements platform of API integrations with research provided by ProgrammableWeb and Datanyze, as well as industry experts. It will help all developers navigate the recent explosion of APIs and the implications of API integrations to work more efficiently in 2017 and beyond.
What are the differences between monolithic software applications (which were built mostly in the mid-nineties) and microservices, and how can a microservices and API-based approach increase agility and improve time-to-market significantly.

Similar to The Platform Revolution: How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy -- and How to Make Them Work for You (20)
This presentation outlines the problems CIOs are facing in planning and executing their digital transformation strategies and presents solutions to closing the IT delivery gap and achieving their goals.
When the Glue Conferences started in 2008, “Glue” was roughly about “web oriented architecture”, “interop for the web”, and coupling that’s as loose as possible but no looser. Nine years later, we’re weaving a truly huge network of APIs, and the API metadata -- the API spec -- is the lynchpin of intentional loose coupling. It’s the single source of truth for what a service does, it’s the versioned contract between consumers and producers, it automates docs and exploration and testing and CI/CD and integration, and it’s key to productizing services. You can now benefit from RAML’s modeling features and Open API’s ubiquity with a new open-source engine, the API Modeling Framework, that glues them into a unified document model and domain model; it’s an open and extensible metadata engine for APIs that provides round-trip interoperability between formats, a common programmatic interface to the metadata, and a powerful kernel for API tooling.
Gluecon 2017: API Modelling Framework - A Toolbox for Interacting With API S...MuleSoft
The main goal of Mulesoft's API Modelling Framework (AMF) is to provide a way for developers to interact with API specifications written in either RAML or OpenAPI. This talk will give an overview of the API Modelling Framework, a set of tools to model, query and expose all aspects of an API specification.
During this talk, we will go through several use cases, some simple and some more complex ones, to showcase how this can be useful at all stages of the API design process. We will show how the API Modelling Framework stores model and data for the model in a single unified data graph, and how it persists and allows querying using a declarative language. We will also show how, thanks to the formal qualities of the tools, automatic reasoning can be used to add inferred data to the model in order to solve particular data integration scenarios.

Have you ever felt stuck in a place where you feel both safe and trapped? This describes many company’s feelings towards their legacy processes and systems. Old technology is strangling your business and trying to convince you that stability and security are more important than the ability to adapt and move quickly. In this session, Tom Keiser, Zendesk’s Chief Information Officer, will discuss how companies can re-architect their old systems to modern technology that supports their need for speed and adaptability.
How API Enablement Drives Legacy ModernizationMuleSoft
For many organizations, legacy systems’ integration challenges have increased costs and slowed innovation. Learn how Infosys and MuleSoft partner to address these challenges through API enablement - accelerating project delivery speed while reducing costs through pre-fabricated frameworks and solutions.
Join us as we look in more detail at microservices in the application network and how you go about designing, implementing and managing them. In this session, we will explore the technology underpinning microservices on Anypoint Platform through a live demo
Applying UX principles and methods to APIs MuleSoft
Developers learn to cope with quality attributes like maintainability, security, and performance. But usability is usually left behind. It belongs to the domain of UI developers and interaction designers. Yet even if the code doesn't have any UI, it has users: the programmers that have to use or maintain the APIs. This talk introduces usability concepts and practices applicable to the design of APIs.
Secure by design: Scaling security across the enterpriseMuleSoft
By 2020, Gartner predicts 60% of digital businesses will suffer major service failures due to the inability of the IT security team to manage digital risk in new technology and use cases. As security failures quickly become headline news, CIOs and CISOs are under tremendous pressure to keep the business secure -- without slowing the business down. That's why incorporating security by design into applications and services is so crucial for the enterprise. In this session, we will discuss how applications networks are helping organizations federate security best practices, leverage machine learning to more proactively respond to threats and deliver defense in depth.
Gathering Operational Intelligence in Complex Environments at SplunkMuleSoft
How does Splunk, a MuleSoft customer and provider of the leading platform for Operational Intelligence, search, monitor, analyze and visualize transactions from Anypoint Platform? In this session, the Splunk team will discuss how they gather data from cloud and on-premises Mule runtime deployments and enable real-time transaction analysis through Splunk technology for the company's employee onboarding and quote-to-cash processes.
CloudHub and other Cloud Deployment OptionsMuleSoft
In this session, we'll cover a high-level overview of CloudHub, and other PaaS deployment capabilities for Mule. We will also discuss present and future capabilities to support DevOps and IT ops use cases.
Governing and Sharing your Integration AssetsMuleSoft
There's no point building APIs and applications if they aren't going to be used. In this hour, we show you how to drive adoption of the applications you have spent time building, and demo tools like the API portals and Anypoint Exchange that help you to share your integration assets and documentation. We also demo how you can manage and govern your APIs properly in the API Manager, whilst enabling your consumers to self-serve access to them. Finally, you'll see how you can use analytics to gain valuable insight into how your APIs are performing and what you can learn from the behavior of your consumers.
MuleSoft's Approach to Driving Customer Outcomes MuleSoft
From our experience in working with over 1,000 customers, we’ve codified an approach that will help you to avoid common IT failures. Join this session to learn about the three critical pillars (business outcomes, org enablement, technology) needed to achieve your outcomes and how to get started.
It's just as important that you follow the right approach to integration, as well as using the right technology. We'll start this session by exploring MuleSoft's API-led approach to connectivity, and then use demos to bring to life the tooling in the Anypoint Platform that allows you to design and build your integration applications quickly and easily.
Object Store v2 provides fast sharing of data and states across batch processes, Mule components, multiple distributed applications, and enables use of a distributed object store for advanced use cases such as API caching and API rate limiting. Learn what's new with object store and provide real-time feedback to MuleSoft's product management team.

Leveraging APIs and the Cloud to Transform Veteran Care (Steve Rushing)MuleSoft
The Department of Veterans Affairs is responsible for providing healthcare for over 21 million veterans across over 150 hospitals and 820 outpatient clinics.
In this session, learn about the VA’s Digital Health Platform PoC, a cloud-based technology platform that promises to transform care for these veterans by leveraging APIs to unify disparate data stores, connect patients to doctors in real-time, and enable personalized care.
Role of Technology in the Evolution of P&C Insurance (Marcus Ryu)MuleSoft
Like many industries, Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance, has experienced more change in the last two years than in the previous two decades. New technologies afford the opportunity to engage more deeply with customers, develop new products and services, and distribute through an expanded set of channels. In this presentation, Marcus Ryu, co-founder and CEO of Guidewire Software will examine the key technology drivers of change and outline the attributes that software platforms must have to enable insurers to thrive in the years ahead.

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.
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?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd

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.
