Querdenken mit Kreativitätsmethoden – XING ExpertendialogDigicomp Academy AG
Kreatives Chaos ist Quatsch. Kreativität kann hoch systematisch sein und dabei maximal originell. Querdenken macht gute Laune und holt selbst die Neue-Ideen-Belächler, Kreativitätsbekämpfer und Ideen-Kopierer bei ihrer produktiven Laune ab.
Am vergangenen XING Expertendialog zeigte Referent Jiri Scherer von Denkmotor, wie das Ausbrechen aus Denkmustern funktioniert und warum jede Kreativitätsmethode einen roten Punkt hat.
Die digitale Transformation wirkt sich nicht nur auf Prozesse, sondern insbesondere auch auf ganze Geschäftsmodelle von Unternehmen aus.
Roger Basler zeigt in seinem Referat auf, was ein digitales Geschäftsmodell ist und welche Schritte ein Unternehmen tätigen muss, um sich dorthin zu entwickeln. Zentral dabei ist, dass nicht einfach ein bestehendes Geschäftsmodell digitalisiert wird, sondern Unternehmen anfangen im neuen Kundennutzen und Kundenverhalten zu denken.
Gerne stellen wir Ihnen die Slides von Roger Basler zur Verfügung:
Swiss IPv6 Council: The Cisco-Journey to an IPv6-only BuildingDigicomp Academy AG
Die monatlichen Anlässe in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Swiss IPv6 Council behandeln verschiedene technische Themenbereiche von IPv6.
Ist Dual-Stack ein guter Weg? Was sind Erfahrungen mit reinen IPv6-Netzwerken? Viele Unternehmen kämpfen mit diesen Fragen. Genau aus diesem Grund hat Cisco in San Jose einen reinen IPv6-Campus eingerichtet und sucht Antworten auf solche Fragen.
In seinem Referat präsentierte Khalid Jawaid die Bemühungen zur Einführung von IPv6 in einem einzelnen Campusgebäude und die Hürden, die dies mit sich bringt. Im Weiteren sprach er über die Herausforderungen, die sich aus der Erstellung des Business Case im Jahr 2010 und der Bereitstellung von mehr als 400 Remote-Standorten und den daraus gezogenen Lehren ergaben.
Die Inputs von Khalid Jawaid haben bei vielen Teilnehmern neue Perspektiven und Ideen für die Einführung von IPv6 geweckt.
Gerne stellen wir Ihnen die Slides von Manuel Schweizer zur Verfügung:
Vielleicht haben Sie schon einmal ein Zugbillett mit der SBB-App gekauft, per Smartphone eine Doodle-Umfrage verschickt oder in Google Docs eine Textdatei erstellt. Haben Sie sich dabei jemals gefragt, was diese Apps so erfolgreich macht?
Simon Raess, Gründer & Design Strategist bei Ginetta, weiss es. Er war massgeblich an der Kreation genau dieser Produkte beteiligt. Mit seiner Digitalagentur hat er zahlreichen Firmen – darunter Swisscom, Twint und Helsana – zum Erfolg in der digitalen Geschäftswelt verholfen.
In seiner Präsentation am Xing LearningZ vom 4. Juli 2017 zeigte Simon Raess, wie gutes UX Design nicht nur dafür sorgt, dass Webistes und Apps schön aussehen, sondern wie es digitale Produkte auch nachhaltig erfolgreich macht. Sehr spannend war auch der Einblick in die systematische Arbeitsweise, welche zu benutzerfreundlichem Design führt.
Design Thinking ist in aller Munde. Aber was ist Design Thinking denn nun genau? Lernen Sie in dieser Session die agile Innovationsmethode der Stanford University anhand eines kleinen Praxisbeispiels kennen. Tauchen Sie ein in die Welt der Kunden, generieren Sie Lösungsansätze und Prototypen. Ein interaktiver Kurzworkshop mit vielen Erkenntnissen.
Dieser Event des Swiss IPv6 Council befasste sich mit dem spannenden Case der ETH Zürich. Dort sind die IPV4-Adressen schon seit Jahren knapp.
Derk Valenkamp, Gruppenleiter der ID-Datennetze der ETH Zürich, zeigte auf, was er und sein Team seit 2007 unternommen haben. So mussten und müssen daher immer mehr NAT/PAT-Lösungen implementiert werden, die aus betrieblicher und Sicherheitssicht grosse Anforderungen an das Logging stellen. Damit die Netzwerkanforderungen auch langfristig das Wachstum der ETH Zürich und deren IT erfüllen können, wird schon seit Jahren auf IPv6 gesetzt. Besonders spannend für die engagierten Teilnehmer waren auch die Stolpersteine und Hürden, welche Derk Valenkamp aufgezeigt hat.
Gerne stellen wir Ihnen die Slides von Derk Valenkamp zur Verfügung.
Berät Sie bald ein Bot über die neusten Winterschuhe, weil Ihr Handy festgestellt hat, dass Sie zu kalte Zehen haben, wonach eine Drohne das Schuhwerk an Ihren über GPS georteten Standort fliegt?
Roger Basler ging in seinem Referat vom 2. Mai 2017 auf Trends und einige bereits existierende Pilot-Versuche ein. Seine Einschätzung der Wahrscheinlichkeit des Impacts dieser Trends auf unser Online-Shopping-Verhalten soll nicht in erster Linie die Wahrheit widerspiegeln, sondern die Basis für eine gute Diskussion und den Erfahrungsaustausch untereinander legen.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

32. What’s missing
Edge Server role
No Public Folder access in OWA (most probably SP1)
Only SSL-Bridging for CAS supported (no offloading)
UAG cannot publish CAS 2013. A fix is expected in SP1 of 2013.
TMG will work fine though.
BUT TMG cannot be ordered after 01.12.2012!!
Important discontinued Feature
RPC over TCP (MAPI from the “clients”)
Exchange 2013 does not support MAPI access (RPC), also not for
third-party products. Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTPS) is the only
method by which Outlook can connect, internally & externally
Exchange 2013 is the LAST release that supports MAPI/CDO
– switch to EWS
