How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times? Optimization Tips for ...eG Innovations
Logon is a user's first interaction with the Citrix digital workspace service, and hence, a slow logon can influence a user's opinion of the service in a way that no other metric can. Therefore, logon time is the #1 key performance indicator (KPI) in Citrix environments.
Slow logons have an impact not just on user perception, but also productivity. When each logon takes minutes — maybe on multiple systems — it results in lost work time and costs the business. So, it is imperative that logons be as quick and non-intrusive as possible. But how can we make this happen?
Learn some of the best practices for Citrix logon time optimization.

The chapter also introduces new and improved features in Windows 7, including the updated user interface, hardware requirements, and system hardware support. Updated features for application support, connectivity applications, and enhanced networking models are also covered in the chapter.
Windows 7 is the best OS for enterprise use from Microsoft and improves on 3 major pain points. Info-Tech recommends organizations running Windows XP as the primary desktop OS migrate to Windows 7 by end-of-year 2012. This storyboard addresses the following migration success factors:
•Preparation and planning are key to a successful deployment – focus on application, driver, and peripheral compatibility.
•Version selection is important to ensure that necessary features and functionality are deployed.
•Selecting the most appropriate deployment methodology will maximize resource allocation and minimize time and cost.
Take advantage of Microsoft’s free resources to help simplify and ensure the success of your Windows 7 deployment.

Creating intelligent content: How to automate personalised, one-to-one market...Intergen
Now more than ever as organisations we need to accelerate our digital engagement and use our content intelligently, sensitively and helpfully.
One of the only ways to connect with customers is digitally, and so the challenge for us as brands is how do we deliver a relevant and engaging experience at scale? And, within that, how do we make sure that we're tailoring the right content, to reach our audiences in the right ways, at the right time?
In this webinar, we'll discuss the importance of personalisation in delivering an outstanding customer experience and the challenges marketers face when it comes to delivering true one-to-one personalised journeys. We will then look how Episerver's new Content Intelligence and Content Recommendations can, through the power of AI, help marketers gain deep content insights and automate true one-to-one, personalised marketing at scale.
The Coronavirus pandemic had a profound impact on the way we work. Almost overnight, organisations have had to learn how to work remotely – and collaborate effectively – often by the most expedient means possible.
The good news is that the flexible, remote working practices and tools that always seemed like a good idea in principle, have now been tested under extreme conditions and, in many cases, have been proven to be highly effective. To maintain the momentum and continue to realise the benefits, it's essential that we balance that flexibility and immediacy with governance and management. This is particularly true with 'easy to use' tools designed with user empowerment at their heart, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others.
In this webinar, we explore common pain points and problems arising from the explosive growth of these tools and potential solutions to those problems. We will hear from Anthony Martino, IT Operations Manager at flybuys (Australia), on how they plan to balance user empowerment with effective governance and management. We will look at practical approaches available to all customers, to continue realising the benefits of flexible working in a secure, streamlined and controlled manner.

Working Remotely with Microsoft TechnologiesIntergen
Keeping with the #ReimagineWork theme, we ran the "Working Remotely with Microsoft Technologies" webinar - conducted with Microsoft Teams live event - where we discussed covering remote working with Microsoft Azure Windows Virtual Desktop and communication with Microsoft Teams.
Watch the recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBWkoPbw5kc to see how you can use Microsoft Azure technology to create and deploy Windows desktop images that run on the cloud, accessible from web browsers, Windows and MacOS clients as well as Android and iOS apps, giving your employees access to the same tools they would normally have through your physical desktop deployments.
Business Change Management is more than just sending out a few emails, doing a bit of training and writing a new policy. It is about understanding the things that make the business unique, working with people to find out how the change will actually affect them and how they feel about it. You can then provide them with the right information and tools to comfortably and confidently transition to the new system.
Equally, it’s not a one off, hit and run activity. Supporting people as they transition to new ways of working should be ongoing throughout the life of a project and beyond.
This approach leads to the development of a change strategy, creation and delivery of communications and training resources, and the facilitation of all staff training.
Working with people to understand their needs and then coming up with practical and creative ways to address them allows you to come up with targeted approaches to getting people on board.
It’s hard not to be inspired by someone who is actually excited and committed to change. Alternatively, change is never successful when a solution is thrown in and people feel that leaders are ‘doing it to them, not with or for them’.
Enters InterConnect, a proven approach that focuses on what your business wants to achieve and then works with your people leaders to give them the skills and confidence to support their teams through the transition. The approach is based on having conversations, providing an open forum for teams to discuss the changes and giving your leaders the knowledge and skills to maintain the drive for change.
With more than 50,000 new malware created every day organisations can no longer afford to risk the financial and reputational impacts of a security or data breach, which can be too much for a business to recover from. Because of this, IT managers face increasing scrutiny and pressure from CEOs, managing directors and boards to prove that they are keeping the organisation secure.
The changing threat landscape means organisations need to be vigilant and smarter about security. While businesses still face threats from infected devices and malware, attackers have also moved beyond that. For example, there is an increasing number of targeted email attacks with cyber criminals spending time to monitor communications so they can imitate emails that are so sophisticated that even relatively savvy users will open them.
This webinar will explore the building blocks required to ensure you have the roadmap required to best protection against cyber attacks. We will provide you with a high level view of the following topics:
· Audit and discovery – What are your weaknesses and are you compliant?
· Education – Do your employees know when not to open that attachment?
· Policy – Do you have the right policies for your industry?
· Technology – Where to start and what has changed?

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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:

Importance
Gain the ability to take advantage of image optimization, streaming capabilities, smaller
resource footprints, rapid image testing & reuse, and ease of provisioning options.
Overview
6. 6
OS & Device Options
Operating System
Windows 8 “N”
The Windows 8 "N" version is an edition which does not include a bundled copy of
Windows Media Player.
Windows 8
Unlike Windows 7 and Windows Vista, there are no Starter, Ultimate, Home Premium, or
Home Basic editions.
Windows 8 Pro
Windows 8 Pro is targeted towards enthusiasts and business users which includes all the
features. Additional features include operating as a Remote Desktop server, the ability to
participate in a Windows Server domain, Encrypting File System, Hyper-V, and Virtual
Hard Disk Booting, Group Policy as well as BitLocker and BitLocker To Go.

Media Center add-on), with additional features to assist with IT organizations.
7. 7
OS & Device Options
32-bit vs. 64-Bit Operating System Architecture
Overview
Typical Concerns
Hardware purchased within the past 2 to 3 years is likely be compatible with Windows 8 64-bit. Use
the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) toolkit to validate
Most hardware manufacturers produce both 32 and 64-bit versions of device drivers
Special attention should be directed to printer drivers and support for 64-bit operating systems
Memory configurations greater than 4Gb are only addressable when a 64-bit operating system is
used
“Windows on Windows” technology in 64-bit Windows 8 provides support for 32-bit applications
Purpose
This option identifies the architecture of Windows 8 to be used in the creation of your image
Importance
Choosing one architecture will likely reduce the amount of testing required to prepare applications for
a Windows 8 deployment
16-bit applications are not compatible with a 64-bit version of Windows 8
8. 8
OS & Device Options
Hardware Model List
Overview
Typical Concerns
Additional drivers may be added to the deployment point once the WIM is received from the factory
Determine the maintenance cycle to be used to update manufacturer driver packages
Purpose
Determine which selection of drivers to include in the deployment point, as well as specific mass-
storage or network drivers to include in Windows PE
Importance
Selecting the right set of drivers will help in determining the correct machine make/model list that will
be supported by the factory built image.
