Making Workflow Automation Personal: The Next Step in Digital Transformation...Michael Oryszak
True digital transformation requires more than incremental improvements and goes beyond individual projects or processes. To become true digital masters, organizations need to think differently and work to enable their members to rethink everything they do in order to identify opportunities for automation. By addressing the capabilities for enhancing workflow automation as a personalized technology capability, organizations can take a giant leap forward and feed and innovation cycle without any limits. This session will help re-frame the primary focus from large, centralized processes to enhancing individual and team collaborators that can drive their own process automation using a variety of commonly available no-code solutions. We will dive into techniques to educate and grow the organization’s capabilities and also review some of the commonly supported models for measuring the results and ROI.
Knowledge management systems capture an organization's expertise and make it accessible to employees. These systems include enterprise content management for documents, learning management for training, and knowledge work systems tailored for jobs like engineering. Intelligent techniques like data mining, expert systems, and neural networks help automate tasks and discover new insights from data. When implemented effectively, knowledge management systems improve business processes, create new products and services, and provide a competitive advantage.

Lessons from the front line: Next generation knowledge management using socia...Velrada
Now more than ever, we are witnessing the dynamic and interconnected relationship between technology and human interaction impacting the KM space. This is being driven in part by consumer device proliferation and changing user expectations exhibited by the extraordinary rise in use of social networking platforms – with the opportunities and challenges that they bring. The way we are using the web in our personal lives and the effectiveness of this form of online engagement, coupled with a deeper understanding of how social methodologies can be integrated into the business world is forcing large, corporate organisations - which have traditionally been challenged in adopting new ways of working or processing and integrating information – to change their approach to KM, treating information and knowledge as an asset, and can be used to drive value creation through sustaining and improving competitive advantage, delivering insights and enhancing team and organisational productivity.

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
Radically Outperforming DynamoDB @ Digital Turbine with SADA and Google CloudScyllaDB
Digital Turbine, the Leading Mobile Growth & Monetization Platform, did the analysis and made the leap from DynamoDB to ScyllaDB Cloud on GCP. Suffice it to say, they stuck the landing.

JP compares ScyllaDB, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL, evaluating their data models, query languages, sharding and replication, and benchmark results. Attendees will gain practical insights into the MongoDB to ScyllaDB migration process, including challenges, lessons learned, and the impact on product performance.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

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.
Keywords: AI, Containeres, Kubernetes, Cloud Native
