Drive Insight From Unstructured Data With EndecaKPI Partners
Supporting slide deck. The entire recording is available at: http://www.kpipartners.com/webinar-Drive-Insight-From-Unstructured-Data-With-Endeca
Abstract:
There is significant growth of unstructured data being created by consumers and businesses alike, however unstructured forms of data that can be found in sources such as email, social networks and even health records can make it more difficult to organize, manage and analyze the data.
As a result, this has created a need for companies to seek a solution to explore and analyze both structured and unstructured data.
What is Unstructured Data?
Unstructured data has no pre-defined data model and/or does not fit well into relational tables. Typically, there is no identifiable structure – it is text-heavy and generally in free form text. A few examples of this type of data are email, documents, presentations, web content and social media. Due to the explosion and proliferation of the internet and social media, unstructured data is growing exponentially – and companies are looking for better ways to manage this data.
Join experts from Oracle and KPI Partners for this virtual event that will help us all understand how there can be joint analysis complex structured and unstructured data. Our panelists will explore:

KPI Partners E-Book: The Project Analytics FrameworkKPI Partners
This e-book discusses the goals and objectives of project-based analytics.
There is a saying that if it cannot be measured, it cannot be managed. Traditionally, projects have used schedules and budgets to monitor progress. This only provides part of the answer. It does not address other variables.
Just because a project comes in on time and on budget does not mean it is a success. The deliverables may be of poor quality, and there may be dozens of outstanding issues. A much broader view is required to insure a project’s ultimate success.
The Project Analytics framework presented in this e-book details the elements of a complete project analytics framework and how Oracle Project Analytics meets the needs of this framework.
"The primary goal of a Project Analytics system is to help project stakeholders meet project objectives in an optimized manner while honoring the project constraints."
History shows that projects that are carefully managed, large or small, are considered most successful both in the short and the long term. Project Analytics systems help manage projects in almost all cases.

Part 6 - Q&A Session
A recent study by Harvard Business Review cited that top performing organizations use analytics five times more than low performers. However, the vision of delivering fast, interactive, insightful analytics has remained elusive for most organizations.
Most enterprise analytics solutions require dealing with a number of hardware, software, storage and networking vendors, and precious resources are wasted integrating the hardware and software components to deliver a complete analytical solution. A high-performance business intelligence system also requires fast connectivity to data warehouses, operational systems and other data sources.
Oracle Exalytics is an optimized engineered system to provide the highest levels of performance for business intelligence (BI) and enterprise performance management (EPM) applications such as Oracle Business Intelligence, Endeca, and Essbase.
Join team members from Oracle and KPI Partners for this virtual event that examines new releases of the leading engineered system for enterprise analytics: Exalytics X3-4 & T5-8.

Offshore outsourcing is now a mainstream practice for Fortune 500 Enterprises as more and more companies are going offshore to develop and maintain software. The reason is simple: outsourcing saves time and money.
Cost savings was the primary reason US clients began to adopt the offshore model in the early 1990s. The major drivers in the past few years have gone way beyond cost. Other drivers for offshore now include:
Time to market
Available and flexible talent pool
Quality
Higher productivity
A 24-hour workday for support activities
Quick ramp-up
KPI Partners currently operates two Offshore Technology Centers in India. The Offshore Technology centers are a critical component of the blended-shore model that many of our clients utilize today. The basic framework of our blended-shore model consists of on-site KPI consultants and an OTC team working in concert to meet the needs of our clients.
Oracle BI Applications: Delivering Value Through Rapid ImplementationsKPI Partners
Providing actionable business intelligence across the enterprise to enable informed decision-making and streamlined business processes is an obtainable goal. Team members from Oracle and KPI Partners presented this virtual event that helps provide the basic foundation and understanding you need in order to know where to start, how to select trusted advisors, how to form your team, how to set user expectations, and what pitfalls to avoid.
Guests Simon Miller and William Hutchinson have recently authored a new book within the Oracle Press series titled 'Oracle Business Intelligence Applications: Deliver Value Through Rapid Implementations'. Their book serves as a guide to anyone who has been touched by an Oracle BI Applications purchase and implementation, including CXOs, business managers, functional end users, implementers, IT support, and data warehouse professionals.
With over 25 years of experience, Simon and Will can help provide perspective into several areas:
-Why you would consider purchasing a pre-built analytic application?
-The challenges and risks of building a data warehouse from scratch
-Are Oracle BI Applications applicable for your needs?
-What should you be aware of when implementing?
-How can you extend and make a pre-built BI application your own?
-How can Exalytics help with a deployments?
-Understanding of the different technical components of Oracle BI Applications
-What does Oracle's out-of-the-box BI application include in terms of content?
Those who joined us had the opportunity to see Oracle BI Applications through the eyes of two tenured individuals who have built their careers around explaining what the BI Applications are and how they can help an organization.
Guests:
Simon Miller is a Master Principal Sales Consultant at Oracle, specializing in Oracle’s prebuilt BI Applications. Over the past 15 years he has worked exclusively in the BI Technology, Architecture, and Analytics space across North America and parts of Europe.

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).

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:
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

A Load Plan is an executable object in Oracle Data Integrator that can contain a hierarchy of steps that can be executed conditionally, in parallel, or in series. The leaves of this hierarchy are scenarios. The set of scenarios that makes up a Load Plan can involve the execution of packages, interfaces, variables, and procedures.
Load Plans also support exception handling strategies in the event of a scenario ending in error.
Load Plans can be started, stopped, and restarted from a command line, from Oracle Data Integrator Studio, Oracle Data Integrator Console, or a Web Service interface. They can also be scheduled using the runtime agent’s built-in scheduler or an external scheduler. When a Load Plan is executed, a Load Plan Instance is created. Each attempt to run this Load Plan Instance is a separate Load Plan Run.
A Load Plan can be modified in production environments and steps can be enabled or disabled according to the production needs. Load Plan objects can be designed and viewed in the Designer and Operator Navigators. Various design operations (such as create, edit, delete, and so forth) can be performed on a Load Plan object if a user connects to a development Work Repository, but some design operations will not be available in an execution Work Repository. After it is created, a Load Plan is stored in the Work Repository. The Load Plan can be exported then imported to another repository and executed in different contexts.
Repository for Configuration Manager and FSM
Contains BI Apps product hierarchy, setup objects (parameters, domain mappings), list of functional tasks, load plan definitions
* In this release, all repositories are only supported on Oracle DB.
Use Cases Supported
Customer upgrading later to an SDS architecture without needing to restart their ETL
Customer deploying one module using the SDS and switching other modules to using the SDS as they go along
Customer switching back an incremental to the OLTP for sourcing data (for whatever reason) even as a one off.
GoldenGate – a service on both database systems that performs:
On the source database system - continuous asynchronous change data capture 'CDC' at a low level in the database, then compresses and ships the changed data across the network to…
On the target database system - receives the changed data from one or more source systems and loads them into the target database (into the SDS schemas, 1 per source).
