DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren.

8. problem with water data
• Local - majority of water data is stored on paper, local
computers, controlled organizational databases -> stranded by
storage medium
• Opaque - most of what is available is only in downloadable
format -> all or nothing
• Fragmented – other data is available in small piece by painful
piece -> death by a thousand clicks
• Custom Format - most are not standardized -> custom structures
• Human Required - virtually none are available as an API ->
requires human intervention in time and $
9. the dream
• All water data is available through web services - including
historical, new data can be found and catalogued automatically
• (at least) One great node where one can efficiently search and
discover water data
• Distinct pieces of datasets can be accessed on request
• Data can be converted/transformed on the fly into multiple
formats
• User can easily mash together water datasets
• Users have access to great tools and can custom build tools
• Users can integrate water data with other types of data from other
sources through RESTful API into custom applications
10. Water and Environmental Hub
• Makes more water data available
• Makes it searchable under one roof
• Makes it distributable/transferrable to others
• Leverages the work of the AB WaterPortal
• Significantly lowers cost (time and resources) of
working with water data
11. 3 Deliverables
• Open Web Platform
• Open Water and Environmental Data
• Apps through (RESTful) API

Today we are both empowered by laptops connected to wireless high speed networks and swamped by information that that provides.For many this is a problem including organizations that collect data.However, if we could easily sort through this mess we have an opportunity.
