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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Introduction
These notes are designed to help you get the most from the Maintel slide deck. These slides are to be replaced when the new Maintel ‘Big Picture’ is complete (expected May 17).
General tips on presenting these slides
These slides have been designed to be used to present a general introduction to Maintel. Please feel free to use only that content that is relevant to your particular need.
The slides have been deliberately built with as few words as possible. You therefore need to know what you're going to say - there are no bullet points to read from the slide. It is a good idea to practice before each presentation you give. The material here is flexible and can be used in different ways for different applications. The notes here will help you bring out specific messages that may resonate with your customer or prospect for particular projects.
Note that these notes are designed to give you general background. You should pick those bullets that will be relevant and use only those.
When you need to add your own content, as will be inevitable, try to use the same ideas as presented here.
Finally, please do provide feedback to the Marketing team. We want to make this as effective a sales tool as we can. We do not hold a monopoly on good ideas - far from it. If you've got killer slides, great ideas, dynamic diagrams or a good customer quote, please share it with marketing - and we can incorporate into the centrally held content for everybody's benefit.
Happy presenting!
Sharing slide decks with customers
The current slide deck is hefty. If you need to share a presentation with a customer via email, we suggest you save it as a PDF and compress it. From PowerPoint, choose "Save As", select PDF, and then select the option for "minimum size" for publishing online.
Independence – No allegiance to a single vendor – a genuine “trusted advisor” from world-class vendor selection (e.g. ¾ Gartner Magic Quadrant for UC)
Agility & Capability - The capability you would expect from a large SI (often actually delivered by us..) but in an agile business that reacts quickly
we can be flexible in service, financial and contractual models.
Skills & Accreditations – An engineering & service organisation at its heart, a commitment to be in the top quartile of accreditations for our strategic partners.
These skills help us to design, implement an support you better.
Platform independence of ICON - ICON is unique in offering choice of both network operator and technology provider allowing for true “Roadmap as a Service”
Breadth of Capability - Unified Communications is dependent on security, connectivity and mobility. We are equally capable across all these disciplines – the capability of a boutique but with the breadth of an SI.
Purpose - A public company, we have no exit, no VC to satisfy in the short term, no huge debt to weigh us down. We are free to invest in our future and will be here to support you in yours.
