Managing User Experience During Cloud MigrationseG Innovations
Competition in the digital services world is about managing the customer experience. The cloud is an operating model, and migrating workloads to the cloud involves much more than ‘lift & shift’. In fact, the heavy lifting of cloud migrations may be much more about people than technologies.
Managing customer expectations requires that the user experience be at least as good—if not better—after a cloud migration than it was before the migration took place. Customers really don’t care about the ‘cloud’ per se, they care about the outcomes that cloud-based services can provide.
Learn how you can manage customer expectations and leverage services-oriented monitoring as a program of work within a cloud migration.

From the Amazon Web Services Singapore & Malaysia Summits 2015 Track 1 Breakout, 'The Journey to Digital Enterprise' Presented by Daniel Angelucci, CTO, CSC AMEA
The modern IT stack has become diverse and distributed, and it’s increasingly challenging to manage heterogeneous platforms and multi-vendor devices. Customers are looking to the cloud and APM to help address these hurdles, as well as accelerate IT transformation.
But migrating to the cloud will take time, it won’t make infrastructure ‘just disappear’, and legacy workloads are going to remain part of the enterprise reality for many. In addition, while APM will continue to be increasingly important, all applications are not the same and an application is still not equal to a digital business service.
Watch this webinar as John Worthington, a service management expert and Director of Product Marketing for eG Innovations, continues our Shift-Left series. You can learn:
• Why domain expertise is important when defining monitoring requirements
• What analytics are useful from a monitoring and observability context
• How end-to-end monitoring with converged application and infrastructure performance can drive ITSM and DevOps integration

Today’s technology offerings are evolving to meet changing customer requirements and market demographics. Enterprise software is one of the last technologies prone to long evaluation cycles, huge deployment costs and risky implementations. While most software vendors provide freemium purchase models, ERP and other applications are woefully out-of-date. Business moves too quickly. And, a new generation of professionals views the RFP selection process as a relic from another era. It doesn’t need to be that way.
Once the software is installed, its capabilities should be boundless. While SaaS offerings have changed the financial dynamic of purchasing software it has created compromises in customization and extensibility. Our vision is different. We foresee the need to add operational and performance insight, a vast array of tools to speed implementation and enhance usability, a catalog of complementary software to meet the unique needs of businesses through an app store concept, and a social fabric to truly enrich application functionality. With so much innovation creating new frontiers, why confine your enterprise applications to yesterday’s traditions?
Many organizations have taken comprehensive steps to design, implement and test disaster recovery plans. The elements of a real disaster event can introduce many unexpected twists, turns and detours in the recovery path to resuming normal business operations.
In this webcast, Richard Dolewski, VP Business Development and Disaster Recovery at Velocity Technology Solutions will explore:
- Why downtime is a business issue, not just a technology issue;
- Why even the most comprehensive, well-contemplated disaster recovery plans often fall short when they’re put into real-life practice;
- The importance of eliminating single points of failure at the levels of people, technology and geography; and
- The benefits of more modernized approaches including cloud-based disaster recovery.
This webcast will draw on real-world customer examples and show how disasters can unhinge even the most iron-clad disaster recovery plans. Don’t wait for an actual disaster to take you down. Attend this webcast to glean valuable lessons learned from others, and better understand how you can protect your business.
We'll cover what the manuals don't about getting your EnterpriseOne users onto WebLogic Server. Learn from field experience, compare notes and discover what comes after the install to make your transition smooth and transparent.
Your company requires more than an alternate site contract with redundant equipment. When analyzing your current recovery solution, you may find your organization has no documented DR plan or process, no recovery facility, equipment constraints, or human resource limitations. A managed disaster recovery service provides your organization a backup and recovery assessment, a full recovery as part of the assessment, documentation for your businesses recovery plan, and equipment for future recovery needs, plus a recovery test each year and staff to perform the full recovery in the event of a disaster. Your disaster recovery solution will reduce risk and exposure, meet your corporate disaster recovery objectives, provide recovery time and recovery point assurance, and demonstrate a successful, documented test in a geographic diverse recovery center.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Which Cloud Type or Provider?
• If Applications and Security are most important –
Private Cloud may be better than Public Cloud
• If Economics is more important than Applications –
Public Cloud may be better than Private Cloud
• If Cost is important – Private Cloud with an OpEx
model may be better than on-premise CapEx
• If Resource constraints is a concern – Managed
Application Service Provider model may be better for
specialized application skills
• If Experience of the Provider is key – Ask for
number of cloud customers, number of years serving
from cloud, applications supported, and references

Focusing IT Staff on Innovation
• Greater business demand to focus internal
technology staff on innovative or transformational
projects, leveraging service providers for day-to-day
technology management
Need for greater application flexibility
• Companies must increase the adaptability and
resiliency of their software delivery model to match
business requirements today

More Flexibility Means More Control to Manage
the Business
• More time to focus on innovation, growing
the business versus building infrastructure
• Addresses shortage of IT expertise and
resources to manage technology internally
• Provides a model for more controllable,
predictable costs of ownership
• Helps maximize the strategic value of
software by making it easier to take on the
latest software upgrades, features, or
modules

Cloud Computing Options for Oracle Software
Customers adopt Oracle Applications in four distinct patterns:
• Standalone Application – No interoperability (standalone) among
applications and no integration with the other application suite.
• Loose Integration – Adopt Talent Management to coexist with
Oracle‘s PeopleSoft human resources functionality. In this case, the
loose interoperability comes from integrating people, employees,
hierarchies, or management hierarchies of the PeopleSoft system.
• Tight Integration – Real-time integration of manufacturing with order
capture, order fulfillment, and CRM. This may be Web service-based,
real-time integration among multiple applications.
• Complete Adoption – A complete set of financials, procurement, and
project modules—replacing existing products as an upgrade to
complete back-office ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems.
