La crescita veloce è uno degli aspetti più rilevanti dell'economia negli ultimi anni. Startup, scaleup e unicorni sono tutte aziende che, anno su anno, crescono in modo vertiginoso a livello di numeri di business e di persone, facendo scaling dei sistemi IT.
Le aziende "pre native digitali" stanno guardando a queste realtà come a potenziali (o reali) competitor e si stanno organizzando per scalare. Ma un conto è avere una struttura di business nata per scalare, un conto è scalare con un business avviato da almeno 20/30 anni. Cultura aziendale, sistemi IT e tecnologie si sono stratificati nel tempo e possono essere un ostacolo a questa corsa verso l'alto.
In questo talk vedremo buone pratiche, tecniche e modelli per scalare realtà enterprise sia a livello tecnico (e tecnologico), sia a livello organizzativo. Lo faremo attraverso esempi concreti di casi reali e proponendo spunti su come superare le difficoltà che si incontrano durante il percorso.
Parleremo di Cloud Native, di migrazione da Monoliti e Microservices, di API as a Product, di Organizzazioni Enterprise in stile Open Source e di Cultura Aziendale.

Strategies like simplifying tasks, automation, and using columnar databases can help reduce complexity. On-cloud BI is suitable when in-house options lack skills or resources, or projects are short-term. Careful vendor selection is important for on-cloud BI success.
Digital transformation can deliver value and enhance customer experience through artificial intelligence, application modernization, cloud solutions, augmented reality, and other technologies. The document discusses NextGen's offerings in these areas including cloud strategy, application migration, data integration, blockchain, analytics and more. It provides case studies on how clients benefited from modernization, AI-enabled service management, and augmented reality applications.

Suresh Mathew is the CEO and Founder of Sedai, an autonomous cloud management platform. Previously, as Sr. MTS Architect at PayPal, he built an AI/ML platform that autonomously resolved performance and availability issues—executing over 2 million remediations annually and becoming the only system trusted to operate independently during peak holiday traffic.
fennec fox optimization algorithm for optimal solutionshallal2
Imagine you have a group of fennec foxes searching for the best spot to find food (the optimal solution to a problem). Each fox represents a possible solution and carries a unique "strategy" (set of parameters) to find food. These strategies are organized in a table (matrix X), where each row is a fox, and each column is a parameter they adjust, like digging depth or speed.

Crazy Incentives and How They Kill Security. How Do You Turn the Wheel?Christian Folini
Everybody is driven by incentives. Good incentives persuade us to do the right thing and patch our servers. Bad incentives make us eat unhealthy food and follow stupid security practices.
There is a huge resource problem in IT, especially in the IT security industry. Therefore, you would expect people to pay attention to the existing incentives and the ones they create with their budget allocation, their awareness training, their security reports, etc.
But reality paints a different picture: Bad incentives all around! We see insane security practices eating valuable time and online training annoying corporate users.
But it's even worse. I've come across incentives that lure companies into creating bad products, and I've seen companies create products that incentivize their customers to waste their time.
It takes people like you and me to say "NO" and stand up for real security!

you work on have been in production for years and some of the
engineers that worked on previous versions of the product have
retired or moved on.
19. Proprietary + Confidential
Use Case: Knowledge Transfer
With your Manufacturing Digital Twin, you can build your new
EBOM, submit it to the graph and follow then follow the digital
thread.
As we traverse the thread, we can see that we are able to reach a
recall through our connectivity to a particular MBOM Version and it’s
associated Quality Control Artifacts. Because there is a path between
the new EBOM and a recall, we can analyze the individual nodes that
the BOMs are composed of and determine the repeated design flaw.
