Configuration Management Isn't EverythingJulian Dunn
This document discusses configuration management (CM) projects and what leads to their success and failure. It notes that while CM is important, revolutionizing IT requires more than just CM. Successful CM projects have realistic expectations, dedicate resources to own the CM process, conduct candid assessments of current processes, make incremental changes, and plan in advance. They focus on people, process, and products rather than just tools. Unsuccessful projects have unrealistic expectations, rely too much on consultants, take a big bang approach, and lack advance planning. The key is to focus on CM as a long-term investment that improves team collaboration and experimentation.

Analytics-Enabled Experiences: The New Secret WeaponDatabricks
Tracking and analyzing how our individual products come together has always been an elusive problem for Steelcase. Our problem can be thought of in the following way: “we know how many Lego pieces we sell, yet we don’t know what Lego set our customers buy.” The Data Science team took over this initiative, which resulted in an evolution of our analytics journey. It is a story of innovation, resilience, agility and grit.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate America shined the spotlight on office furniture manufacturers to solve for ways on which the office can be made safe again. The team would have never imagined how relevant our work on product application analytics would become. Product application analytics became an industry priority overnight.
The proposal presented this year is the story of how data science is helping corporations bring people back to the office and set the path to lead the reinvention of the office space.
After groundbreaking milestones to overcome technical challenges, the most important question is: What do we do with this? How do we scale this? How do we turn this opportunity into a true competitive advantage? The response: stop thinking about this work as a data science project and start to think about this as an analytics-enabled experience.
During our session we will cover the technical elements that we overcame as a team to set-up a pipeline that ingests semi-structured and unstructured data at scale, performs analytics and produces digital experiences for multiple users.
This presentation will be particularly insightful for Data Scientists, Data Engineers and analytics leaders who are seeking to better understand how to augment the value of data for their organization
This document discusses designing operations for efficiency through simplicity, centralization, and consistency. It advocates organizing work through routines, processes, templates and branding to avoid recreating solutions, focus on value-added tasks, and leverage past insights. Specific tips recommended include bi-weekly meetings, templates for reports and documents, searchable filing systems, and quality checks. The goal is to optimize teams' time through standardized yet adaptable systems and resources.
This document discusses productivity and methods for improving individual and workforce productivity. It addresses causes of low productivity such as outdated technology, poor management, and personal problems. Methods described for improving productivity include managing time and tasks better through techniques like Getting Things Done, the Pomodoro technique, and using a Franklin Planner. The document also covers making productivity apps and how to generate revenue from them.
This document discusses big data and how ZoneFox approaches it. It summarizes that:
1) ZoneFox collects over 300 million events per day from customers' endpoints, totaling over 1 trillion events for a 500-endpoint customer.
2) Unlike social media companies that focus on volume of data, ZoneFox focuses on collecting meaningful security-related data from endpoints and filtering out irrelevant information to provide valuable insights for customers.
3) ZoneFox's lightweight agent installed on endpoints collects structured data about machines, users, processes, objects and behavior over time, which it sends to ZoneFox servers in a secure and compressed format for storage, analysis and reporting.
Presentation made during the 2017 Gatineau-Ottawa Agile Tour by Nicolas Mercier and Frédéric Paquet.
Portfolio management is a key aspect of organizational performance. The ability to visualize upcoming projects, projects in progress, the process of value creation, the dependencies, the ability to share a common vision and to throttle the work in progress based on organizational capacity are all contributing elements to the effectiveness of an organization.
Unfortunately, the shared vision of a portfolio is too often buried in a tool shared with too few people and does not help the organization build a global and cohesive plan of action.
But when we think about it... Value chain, limiting work in progress, transparency, flow... have you ever thought about using Kanban for portfolio management? Seems like a great idea!
Create alignment around what delivers value to your end-users, use cadence to move forward, help shape a new organizational culture, support innovation, continuous improvement, and leadership and unite people around a shared mission, that is what Kanban at the strategic level can bring.
Data Collection for Research Based Organizations to Aid Research!NTEN
The document discusses the Population Council's use of electronic data capture to conduct research surveys. Some key points:
- The Council partnered with their IT group to develop an audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) system to anonymously collect sensitive data from research participants.
- Using electronic surveys rather than in-person interviews was found to reduce bias and get more honest answers to sensitive questions.
- However, they did not capture some useful data like the total number of surveys completed and indicators over time.
- Moving forward, the IT group recommends exploring unconventional tools like SMS and capturing survey metadata to help with monitoring, evaluation and future projects.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
"Scaling RAG Applications to serve millions of users", Kevin GoedeckeFwdays
How we managed to grow and scale a RAG application from zero to thousands of users in 7 months. Lessons from technical challenges around managing high load for LLMs, RAGs and Vector databases.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
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).
