Integrating SharePoint with Dynamics CRM - Melanie Culver & Wolfgang WeidmannMelanie Culver
Taking a look at how the sales process can be optimised, by using the collaboration features in CRM and SharePoint. See how the standard integration looks like and what there are for issues you can have with it. There are several things you can integrate from CRM to SharePoint or vice versa, to gain a better user experience. We will have a look at both APIs, check out other integration options and use-case it on interesting scenarios, to get the best of both worlds.
---------
Throughout the complete sales process, from acquisition to delivery & support, a constant collaboration throughout the whole company is necessary. To gain a better integration experience, the default integration between SharePoint and Dynamics CRM can be enhanced.
The session will show, how it is possible to create folder and metadata structures in SharePoint, when new CRM entities are created and how CRM metadata can be applied to SharePoint documents, for a better search experience. Furthermore, approaches will be presented how notes attachment in CRM can be moved to SharePoint and how complete project portals for CRM entities can be created.

Rencontre Groupe d'usagers SharePoint Montreal - The Next Great Migration - C...Marc D Anderson
As organizations have moved to Office 365, many – especially “legacy” SharePoint shops – have resisted the move to the “modern” UIs as much as possible. This is true for both end users and developers. We tend to stick with what we know, and historically the “modern” UIs may not have seemed compelling enough to make the switch. What this means is there is an impending “migration” on the horizon for many organizations which they may not realize is coming. While “classic” doesn’t have a known retirement date, Microsoft’s investments are in the “modern” UIs.
As developers, what can we do to help facilitate organizational preparedness for this migration? This session will cover what it means to embrace the “modern” UIs and what you can do now to prepare. We’ll cover such topics as:
· What still doesn’t exist in “modern” and might keep you in “classic” for the time being (a moving target!)
· How to rethink your existing client-side solutions to be prepared for the SharePoint Framework (SPFx)
· How to add functionality into list views using column formatting
· Moving from “classic” team sites to “modern” team sites and what that means from a navigational and functional perspective

SharePoint and Office 365 State of the Market Survey Results WebinarConcept Searching, Inc
This engaging and thought-provoking bird’s-eye view of projects your SharePoint and Office 365 colleagues are working on, their priorities and future initiatives, and what’s been put on the back burner.
What did the survey respondents tell us?
• Hybrid search is perceived as a nice-to-have feature, but not something organizations will be using to address their priority of improving search.
• Collaboration is this year’s must-have, while text analytics and social business applications are at the bottom of the priority list.
• Enterprise search and content lifecycle management have become high priorities, yet 91% of organizations still perform manual tagging.
• Critical business applications, such as records management, enterprise metadata management, eDiscovery, and security, are most often managed on-premises.
• Security is still the primary concern, but its importance has decreased from 59% last year to 40% this year.
How many times your project was jammed because it depended on other project, shared resources with other projects, or simply waiting for something that others from your company had to provide? It’s like you are driving a car on the roads with no signs, no rules, but with police to blame you.
How many times did you tried to implement rules from the book? It like reading Grunf’s (Alan Ford) advices “If you want to win, you must not lose”.
So: How to do it? Which is the right way? How much it will cost? How long it takes? What we will gain? Come to share ideas and experience
Developing social solutions on Microsoft technologies (SP Social and Yammer)SPC Adriatics
Development of the enterprise social solutions, which merge social computing and well known enterprise csolutions is a fairly new development discipline, which gains ever more on importance and traction. It is empirically proven that the traditional data processing gets more efficient and productive with an enterprise social layer on top. Although we have large software companies leading the way with integrating social layers in their known solutions – e.g. Microsoft Dynamics CRM with Yammer – there is still a lot of need for integration of the enterprise social solutions with the different software applications in companies.
This development session will show how Microsoft’s enterprise social products (SharePoint 2013 and Yammer) – can be integrated with another solutions. It will show how to use these products as a common social layer across the software infrastructure in companies. Session will explore which development possibilities we have, which APIs can we use, how to implement the authentication. It will also show, how to bring such integrated enterprise social layer to the mobile devices.
Last but not least, it will show which of the both products can and should be used in which scenario, what are strengths of the both products, and where there can be feature overlapping.

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.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
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.

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.
