Ken Wheeler, the Director of Open Source at Formidable, provides guidance on how to create open source projects. He starts with why you should write open source, then, his experience with OSS, how to get started, API design, how to get ready to release the project, what happens after release and the marketing aspects, and then finally, maintenance.[https://medium.com/@ken_wheeler/a-bitter-guide-to-open-source-a8e3b6a3c1c4 More]

~~'''May 23, 2018 – CSM Wire''' ~~

−

IDC forecasts global spending on cognitive and AI systems will grow to $19.1 billion this year, and grow to $52.2 billion by the end of 2021. With an intelligent workplace, anyone in your organization can use AI to build digital assistants like chatbots that they can train and delegate tasks to. The benefits of an intelligent workplace are improved employee morale, increased worker productivity, enhanced data security, as well as reduced operational costs. The best part is smart tools like LiveTiles Bots allow you to do this with no coding required.

−

~~'''May 22, 2018 - QUARTZ''' ~~

−

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that come into effect on the 25th of May, 2018, replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive. What it means for businesses is that any personal data that is sourced from citizens currently residing in the EU must comply with the GDPR. Therefore, businesses that retain such data and/or behavioral information, even if it doesn’t leave the EU will still be subject to GDPR regulations.

−

Customer data, including that of people who fall under the protection of GDPR, is often shared within companies via channels like email, and increasingly on business messengers like Microsoft Teams, Atlassian’s Stride, Slack, and others. If the documents shared contain personal data, those platforms must also comply with GDPR or face serious penalties.

~~Fittingly enough for the field of artificial intelligence, it turns out brains can still beat brawn.~~

The proof comes from the DAWNBench challenge, an athletics meet for AI engineers where teams and individuals from universities, government departments, and industry competed to design the best algorithms using metrics that were chosen to reflect the real-world demands of AI.

−

Entrepreneur and data scientist Jeremy Howard explains that in order to create an algorithm for solving CIFAR-10, training an AI to identify items in a picture database, Fast.AI turned to a relatively unknown technique known as “super convergence” that slowly increases the flow of data used to train an algorithm.[https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/7/17316010/fast-ai-speed-test-stanford-dawnbench-google-intel More]

−

Ali Rahimi, a prominent researcher of machine learning and artificial intelligence who works on AI for Google said he thinks his field has made amazing progress, but suggested there's something rotten in the way it's developed.

−

In machine learning, a computer "learns" via a process of trial and error. The problem in a talk presented at an A.I. conference is that researchers who work in the field not only don't understand exactly how their algorithms learn, but they don't understand how the techniques they're using to build those algorithms work either. Rahimi argued in his 2017 blog that AI has become too important in society to be developed in such a slapdash fashion.[https://www.livescience.com/62495-rahimi-machine-learning-ai-alchemy.html More]

−

Google is launching a new SDK for machine learning for its Firebase developer platform called "ML Kit." The new SDK offers ready-to-use APIs for some of the most common computer-vision use cases, allowing developers that aren't machine learning experts to still add some ML magic to their apps. This isn't just an Android SDK; it works on iOS apps as well. The APIs support text recognition, face detection, bar code scanning, image labeling, and landmark recognition. There are two versions of each API: a cloud-based version offers higher accuracy in exchange for using some data, and an on-device version works even if you don't have Internet.[https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/05/googles-ml-kit-offers-easy-machine-learning-apis-for-android-and-ios/ More]

−

~~'''May 14, 2018 – Harvard Business Review''' ~~

−

There are lots of things that can make a platform succeed or fail but an increasingly central aspect of a successful platform strategy is machine learning. Moving to an online model is a big improvement, enabling rapid and incredibly low-cost scaling. This is valuable for a network that wants to attract millions of users, but this sort of scale brings problems of its own. Large-scale platforms are too complex, and the use cases too varied for simple algorithms to manage them. Within this jumble of connections, misuse and manipulation can be easily hidden. The best platforms do more than create a space for connection. They recognize the value of their own data, gather it continuously, and leverage machine learning to improve the customer experience.

~~'''May 10, 2018 - Wercker''' ~~

−

Continuous improvement means there is a deliberate effort to improve, however maintained focus on improvement can be hard to carry out. There is a way to be highly tactical about it and it comes from being 100% focused on what your delivery chain is and is not. Your pipeline should be treated like any application: there is a backlog, and your whole job is to add features and fix things. Organizations need to be prepared to invest in dedicated team members responsible for development of the pipeline, and maintaining it in “production.”

A results-oriented and application focus is a tactical way to make sure you are DevOps today, and into the future.[http://blog.wercker.com/what-is-key-to-continuous-delivery?hs_amp=true&__twitter_impression=true more]

While AI will likely have a significant effect on certain occupations, including eliminating many, it will also create new opportunities for enhancing service and product quality and establishing new occupations. Yet for effective harnessing of the full potential of AI in the workplace, it will require a collaborative “open mindedness” on the part of employees, companies and educational institutions to recognize, learn and adapt.

How to Fix The 'Tug Of War' between the leadership expectations and the agile team? True leaders are willing to learn and adapt their styles by building consensus. Different Kinds of Leadership can benefit an agile development team like, for example, servant leadership, which was introduced by Robert Greenleaf in his book that enumerates a leaderless situation where the leader is just a servant helping, assisting and facilitating team members to learn, excel and evolve. Tony Hsieh, the CEO of online shop Zappos, started the concept of holocracy in his company instead of adopting a bureaucracy.

In the past few years, big data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence have evolved rapidly, allowing enterprises to better use their intranet data to produce search results that are more insightful and valuable. Using “weak” AI for strong enterprise knowledge and collaboration, semantic search, natural language processing and knowledge graphs, we will see AI technologies bridging the gap between the user and intranet data. If planned and implemented correctly, tools like question-answering systems, chatbots, cognitive or intelligent search systems, and AI will help improve the user experience within the enterprise, solve information retrieval problems, lower costs and increase revenue.

Sarah Roberts, an assistant professor of information studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, who also studies social media, says the most obvious reason someone would want to scrape public Facebook profiles for personal information is for marketing and demographic reasons. "It's a treasure trove," she explains. The information may not mean much on an individual level but becomes more useful when combined with other sources of data in much the same way Facebook itself builds advertising profiles of its users by combining its own data with third party sources.

The “social credit system” is a vast ranking system that is meant to monitor the behaviors of the population and rank everyone based on their “social credit”. First announced in 2014, the program should be fully operational in 2020 and will be mandatory. Some of the infractions include bad driving, smoking in non-smoking zones, buying too many video games, and posting fake news online. In turn, the “punishments” can vary from banning you from flying or taking the train, throttling your internet speeds, banning you (or your children) from the best schools, etc.[https://search.app.goo.gl/WkZAQ more]

First, the base of a good intranet needs to be established; The features of a good intranet include internal news, a pleasing user experience, a search tool, social networking, etc. But what sets a good intranet apart from an effective intranet is governance that works, “power users” who have an interest and responsibility in building for their teams, a culture of sharing trust in, and acceptance of, online self-service and finally, effective search tools and high-quality content.[https://www.cmswire.com/digital-workplace/what-sets-effective-intranets-apart/ more]

An international team of researchers has created an algorithm equipped with an artificial set of “social skills” that allows machines to collaborate with both other kinds of machines, as well as humans. The most remarkable takeaway in their interaction experimentation is that machines can potentially cooperate much better with each other than humans ever could, and there may be a lesson there. Computer science professor Jacob Crandall of Brigham Young University noted that “In society, relationships break down all the time, [and] People that were friends for years all of a sudden become enemies. Because the machine is often actually better at reaching these compromises than we are, it can potentially teach us how to do this better.” [https://thenewstack.io/~~ai-algorithm-social-skills-cooperates-better-humans/ more]<br~~>

When we treat platforms as though they are communities, we are left with one question: How do we keep everyone safe? Such notions are impossible for Facebook at this scale, at least in today’s world. The first step forward is to acknowledge the differences between platforms and communities and decide which path to take forward. It's time the platform creators let go of some of their power and create a new model, breaking apart these giant platforms into smaller, self-governing bodies so they may actually have some hope of forming lasting communities.

Data is the foundation for all that organizations do in business and how they interact with their customers. Conducting a systematic data assessment gives an organization insight into where it stands in managing its information effectively. It is the first step in creating a road map to consolidate content from various systems, apply consistent metadata and maximize workflow, security and ROI.

~~Data needs governance and if we understand that data is something that has value to the organization, then it is clear that controls should be placed on access to that data.~~

In 2007, Facebook became an open platform for developers to build apps and program on top of. Today, more than a decade later, the consequences of Facebook’s laissez-faire approach are becoming clear. Over the weekend, The New York Times reported that Cambridge Analytica, a British consulting firm, improperly acquired the private data of about roughly 50 million Facebook users, and used it to target voters on behalf of the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election. This was a result of Facebook's permissive data policies. [https:~~//www.nytimes.com/2018/03/19/technology/facebook~~-~~data-sharing.html more]~~

Customers are satisfied are just as likely to leave as those who say they are unsatisfied. Over the years, we’ve seen customer satisfaction data from a range of organizations in multiple industries and countries. The numbers are all very high, but they bear practically no resemblance to task performance on the sites and apps. What people say and what they do can be very different things.

Concernant l'utilisation des données nous en sommes à l'enfance, l'adolescence diraient certains. Nous sommes en plein apprentissage de comment maîtriser ce potentiel des échanges de données sachant que les volumes de données disponibles augmentent de façon exponentielle et que demain l'intelligence artificielle nous promet des apprentissages automatiques, à condition d'avoir posé les fondamentaux. En effet, dans les écoles européennes d'apprentissage du partage de la donnée, c'est le Règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) qui propose une réponse aux Géants du Web (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon), en créant les règles et en nommant la cible à protéger : les données personnelles. Des règles imposées à tous. Chaque organisation doit donc se responsabiliser, analyser les données personnelles qu'elle veut utiliser, et mettre en œuvre tous les mécanismes pour les protéger. Les données personnelles ne sont certes pas dans le périmètre des données ouvertes, mais leur territoire s'agrandit à tous les jours à cause des croisements rendus possibles par des technologies de plus en plus sophistiquées.

Companies must respond to requests within one month, leaving them little time to perform a task that they may not be equipped to handle.

−

~~US companies face a productivity paradox: Despite billions of dollars invested in technology, growth in employee productivity has slowed since 2004. ~~

−

Augmenting workers more frequently and with more sophisticated tools will require an upgrade in employees' skills. RQ (robotics quotient) will join IQ (intelligence quotient) and EQ (emotional quotient) in the ~~lexicon of human resources, business~~, and ~~technology leaders everywhere because RQ measures the skill set that human workers have when working with automated and semiautonomous systems.~~

−

~~Meaning that people who~~ are ~~adaptable, flexible, pick up new smart tools quickly, and who can problem-solve have higher RQ. In many cases, organizations with a lower RQ rating will need~~ to ~~invest in training, learning~~ and ~~development efforts to raise RQ, even if they don't know it yet.~~

There are several reasons how algorithms deliver unexpected results said Julia Stoyanovich, a professor in Drexel’s College of Computing & Informatics who studies the ethical development of algorithms and artificial intelligence, but it usually comes down to bias in the original data on which the algorithm is trained, validated and ultimately deployed or, the unexpected result can come from humans providing the algorithm faulty data against which to train. An example of bias was found by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at Stanford University where facial-analysis programs from major tech companies showed bias in both skin-type and gender. “The algorithms that can do the most damage are both discriminating against groups of individuals systematically and are opaque so an individual cannot know that there’s something going [on]” Stoyanovich said.[https://www.cmswire.com/customer-experience/ai-bias-when-algorithms-go-bad/?utm_source=cmswire.com&utm_medium=web-rss&utm_campaign=cm&utm_content=all-articles-rss [more]]

Facebook a développé un support pour le format de fichiers gITF 2.0. Les artistes et les créateurs peuvent dorénavant partager leurs contenus 3D, plus riches et de meilleure qualité. Les utilisateurs du réseau social peuvent dorénavant interagir avec ces publications, en cliquant et faisant glisser la souris pour les regarder dans tous leurs sens. L’objectif est de démocratiser ce type de contenu, que les utilisateurs peuvent découvrir à travers leur fil d’actualité ou sur Facebook Space. Ils peuvent aussi les partager avec leurs amis en réalité virtuelle.[https://www.blogdumoderateur.com/facebook-posts-3d/amp/?__twitter_impression=true [suite]]

Actuellement, pour regarder une « story », les utilisateurs doivent accéder à la partie « Social » de l’application et appuyer sur le cercle situé à côté du pseudo de leur ami. Auparavant, toutes les stories étaient listées à droite de l’application. Snapchat annonce que cette interface sera modifiée une fois de plus dans les semaines qui suivent : les amis seront toujours à gauche, les médias seront toujours à droite, mais des onglets seront ajoutés à ces deux parties pour mieux classer les contenus.

The most mature deployments of Machine Learning are in the areas of data analysis and processing, where the technology is capable of exceeding levels of human accuracy in some domains. Business process digitization has enabled new ways of working, which in turn have led to the production of all kinds of unstructured data. With most of the technologies businesses use to manage information today, the more data you have, the harder it is to make sense of it all, but with the cloud and Machine Learning, the opposite can be true. Using machine learning, businesses can add structure to their content and automate processes around their information.[more]]

~~Agile Marketing is “an approach~~ to ~~marketing that takes its inspiration from Agile software development. It values the following: ~~

−

~~• Responding to change over following~~ a ~~plan. ~~

−

~~• Rapid iterations over big~~-~~bang campaigns. ~~

−

~~• Testing and data over opinions and conventions. ~~

−

~~• Many small experiments over a few large bets. ~~

−

~~• Individuals and interactions over one size fits all. ~~

−

~~• Collaboration over silos and hierarchy. ~~

Bryan Semple, chief marketing officer at SmartBear, leads marketing teams that have implemented an Agile marketing methodology. “As we know, there's an infinite amount of things that we can do. There's just a limited amount of time to get them done.” Running an Agile program, you know that in a given timeframe, you have X number of hours of work that is available, and it allows you to schedule that work, Semple said.

With the democratization of data analytics, so many different teams and individuals are handling data, and the need for a data consumption model has emerged. DataOps (data operations) is a new approach to data management which brings together data workers (the individuals who collect, clean and prepare data) with data analysts to help enterprises make data-driven decisions at the moment of opportunity to enable data-driven enterprises by eliminating friction so that data can be turned to dollars faster without sacrificing security and governance.[https://www.cmswire.com/analytics/what-dataops-is-and-how-it-can-deliver-better-cross-functional-analytics/?utm_source=cmswire.com&utm_medium=web-rss&utm_campaign=cm&utm_content=all-articles-rss [here]].

The defining narrative of our online moment concerns the decline of text, and the exploding reach and power of audio and video. Artificial intelligence might soon let us search and index much of the world’s repository of audio and video, giving sounds and pictures a power that has kept text dominant online for so long. Technology didn’t just make multimedia easier to produce; it also democratized non-text formats, which for so long had been accessible only to studios. With these changes, it is important to consider that an information system dominated by pictures and sounds prizes emotion over rationality.

Jason Wisdom, CTO of Aponia Data writes that performance reviews are too subjective, too tense and, frankly, have too much riding on them. He does make clear, however, that business intelligence (BI) methods can greatly assist performance reviews. “Many quantitative performance evaluation metrics can be gathered and reported BI-style. AI can take BI results and make the process interactive/intuitive,” he said. A more realistic scenario, he advises, is a hybrid BI/AI approach.

Zuckerberg wrote on the 12th of January that “By making these changes [to the news feed], I expect the time people spend on Facebook and some measures of engagement will go down," and he was correct as users are spending 50 million fewer hours on Facebook every day. He also wrote “I also expect the time you do spend on Facebook will be more valuable. And if we do the right thing, I believe that will be good for our community and our business over the long term too." Though the full effect of these changes on Facebook’s business won’t be known for a while, the business reported $12.97 billion in sales during the last 3 months of the year and that beat the Wall Street estimates of $12.55 billion. After first dismissing claims that Facebook was part of the "fake news" problem, Zuckerberg said in January that his primary goal for 2018 is "fixing" the site's biggest problems, including misinformation, harassment and undermining election integrity.

Machine learning typically runs on low-end devices and breaks a problem down into parts. Each part is solved in order, and then combined to create a single answer to the problem. Machine learning algorithms are essentially enabling programs to make predictions, and over time get ~~better at these predictions based on trial and error experience.~~

Deep learning is inspired by how the human brain works. It requires high-end machines with discrete add-in graphics cards capable of crunching numbers, and enormous amounts of “big” data.

The ~~Massachusetts Institute of Technology~~ is launching an initiative called MIT Intelligence Quest in an effort to combine multiple disciplines to reverse engineer human intelligence, create new algorithms for machine learning and artificial intelligence and foster collaboration. What MIT IQ is really trying to address is the reality that the foundations of AI are dated. The mathematics and core principles of AI date back to the 1950s and 1960s. James DiCarlo, head of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences said that MIT IQ will take a reverse engineering approach to artificial intelligence. The first of two units in MIT IQ, dubbed The Core, will look to develop machine-learning algorithms. The second unit, called The Bridge, will be dedicated to applying MIT discoveries in natural and artificial intelligence across multiple disciplines.

Facebook’s research team has tested a new approach that gives bots more consistent personalities and more natural responses. The approach teaches its AI to look for patterns in a special 164,000-utterance data set, called Persona-Chat, which includes a handful of facts about a given bot's persona. Sample conversations from Facebook's study showed that the bots were much more consistent and fluent than bots trained on movie phrases, but they definitely wouldn't pass a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test [Turing test]] (test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human).

Mark Zuckerberg said: "Since there's more public content than posts from your friends and family, the balance of what's in News Feed has shifted away from the most important thing Facebook can do — help us connect with each other". So much so that according to Pew Research, Facebook has outcompeted traditional media for the role of top news purveyor to the U.S. — so much so Facebook’s average quarter revenue doubled in 2017 to $9.2 billion up from $4.5 billion per average quarter in 2015. In addition to addressing Fake news, the changes will show users “less public content from businesses, brands and media,” a move Zuckerberg says is intended to promote “more meaningful social interactions.” While these moves will likely hurt revenues, according to Zuckerberg, a happier audience should be good for business long-term.

Cloud AutoML is a new tool that will let users train their own custom machine learning algorithms without having to write a single line of code.

Urban Outfitters, for example, is testing how Cloud AutoML might be used to identify items of clothing in their catalog, so users can filter by certain characteristics, as it is currently limited to image recognition.

When designing (or redesigning) a digital transformation strategy, a key component is to create a compelling customer experience (CX). Best practices and guidelines involve a customer-first focus, empathy for the customer, a holistic outlook and an agile approach to development. As an example, the way the Washington Post has approached CX with an intense digital transformation focus has been so successful that they now offer their products and services that were “born out of necessity” to other companies, brands and digital publishers under the Arc Publishing umbrella. Whether your CX is still being established or it is well-defined, best practices are characteristics of a design-thinking approach.[https://www.cmswire.com/customer-experience/customer-experience-best-practices-a-framework-for-designing-outstanding-cx/?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cm&utm_content=dlvr.it-cmswire [more]]

In addition to AI, “M” relied on human interaction to help users’ most complicated queries.

~~'''9 janvier 2018 – Le journal du CM''' ~~

−

Le taux d’engagement Facebook est une valeur importante pour le « community manager » ou l’internaute gérant des pages professionnels sur le réseau social afin de créer une stratégie Facebook autour des interactions et leurs mesures. Il faut d’abord calculer le taux (il est aussi possible d’accéder au taux d’engagement Facebook depuis les options d’une page professionnelle) afin de définir des objectifs de taux d’engagement et de les améliorer. Un taux d’engagement compris entre environ 7 et 10% est excellent, un taux compris entre 3 et 6% serait bon, en dessous ce serait à revoir, mais il est important de considérer la portée d’une page Facebook. Un taux de 1% est considéré comme très bon sur les pages qui recensent plusieurs milliers de fans.

−

~~Il y a plusieurs manières de calculer le taux :~~

−

<ul>• Par publication (ce qui peux établir une moyenne mensuelle, des ratios entre les articles, etc.), par exemple : (50 interactions sur une publication / 1500 personnes potentiellement atteintes) x 100 = 3.33 %. Cette méthode ne peux être utiliser que par quelqu’un qui a accès aux statistiques de publications (admin, contributeur, etc.).</ul>

−

<ul>• Perception des concurrents. Par exemple, (105 interactions sur une publication / 98.000 abonnés total à la page) x 100 = 0.10% . Il est aussi possible d’utiliser '''[https://lab.make-me-viral.com/ MakeMeStats]''' pour établir ce taux et aussi d’isoler le taux d’engagement entre la portée organique et la portée payante sur le réseau social.[https://www.journalducm.com/dictionnaire-marketing/taux-engagement-facebook/ [cliquez ici]] </ul>

A few analytics tools for chatbots are starting to emerge, but the most noteworthy one this year comes from Google. Called Chatbase, the platform provides data from AI-driven responses to user requests which in turn provides responses that are more varied than text on a webpage.

−

Once Chatbase is installed using the kit that Google provides, users can look at three sets of report panels to review the chatbot’s performance. The first is the “Sessions report” which shows four metrics: daily sessions, daily sessions per user, sessions per user and user messages per session. The second is the “Messages report,” designed to identify opportunities to improve response efficiency. The third is the “Transcripts report” that highlights repeated requests in the request history.[https://www.cmswire.com/digital-~~experience/google-chatbase-ushers-in-the-rise-of-chatbot-analytics/ [more]] ~~

~~'''January 2, 2017 – Forbes''' ~~

−

~~Ryan Holmes, founder and CEO of Hootsuite, relates what he sees will be the biggest social media trends for business in 2018. These include: ~~

−

~~ ~~

−

~~• An end to unpaid advertisement on social media.~~

−

For example, Facebook rolled out a new “Explore Feed” specifically for business updates — testing is underway in some countries to remove all company social posts from the News Feed unless the company pays.

−

~~• Increased importance of videos that maintain and grow user base (whether or not they go viral).~~

−

~~By 2018, Cisco forecasts that 82~~% ~~of all consumer Internet traffic will be video. Nearly half of businesses are already implementing social videos, with another 26~~% ~~planning to implement in 2018. However, going viral is not something to aim for, companies should produce videos that actually lead to the acquisition and retention of customers.~~

−

~~• QR codes will make a comeback.~~

−

Apple’s newly released iOS 11 has a native QR code reader so all a user has to do to read the code is point the iPhone camera at it and it’s automatically activated. Scan a Facebook Messenger Code, for instance, and a handy bot or customer service agent automatically pops up on your phone.

−

~~• The era of “millisecond marketing”.~~

−

Case in point: emerging technology that enables testing hundreds of social media ad variations, simultaneously. In 2018, these tools should enable companies to reach bigger audiences with better targeted and more personalized messages than ever before

−

~~• Business software clouds will boost their social media game.~~

−

Microsoft’s purchase of LinkedIn for $26 billion set off a quiet arms race among big software sellers to integrate and upgrade social media features. Not to be outdone, Adobe, Salesforce, IBM and Oracle have all embarked on a flurry of purchases and integrations to improve their marketing clouds with social media features.

~~HR leaders and employees are currently facing the challenge of a ‘lack of collaboration’.~~

−

Collaboration has a direct correlation to productivity, work efficiency, problem-solving, decision-making and employee retention. With the growing strength of remote, diverse and global workforce, collaboration has become more important than ever for organizations. If collaboration is forced, it won’t work. So, give employees a sense of purpose with which to connect strongly. Open workstations are also helpful, as common work areas will help employees interact more and share their workplace concerns/ideas. It may even remove the hierarchy barriers. When you give freedom to employees express their ideas and brainstorm together, it creates a team spirit. In many cases, ineffective communication also plays a devil in creating conflicts because people get inaccurate, incomplete or incomprehensible information. Collaboration tools can help address these issues. [https://bizztor.com/building-collaborative-workplace-culture/ [more]]

Because there are so many competitors in this market and that employees already come into a job with their favorite tools, most companies find themselves using multiple platforms for conferencing and collaboration tasks. Industry analysts have predicted that the enterprise collaboration market will balloon from $7 billion in 2015 to $49.51 billion by 2021. As collaboration technology continues to play an escalating role in enterprise productivity, proper management and insight into cost and time spent by IT is crucial to gauge effectiveness. Bobby Beckmann, CTO at video communication provider Lifesize, outlines the current landscape. In today’s scattered workforce, virtual collaboration has become critical for business productivity. For IT, managing multiple systems is confusing and costly.

Collaboration is the cornerstone of the modern workplace and a key ingredient for teamwork and a thriving business. IT’s role is vital in creating and maintaining a cohesive collaboration ecosystem in which technology facilitates seamless communications rather than hindering it. With a bit of strategic planning, a cohesive cost-effective collaboration ecosystem can be a reality.

The workforce is more geographically dispersed and mobile than ever before. As a result, the way we work is undergoing a fundamental shift. Because of this, borderless collaboration – the ability to seamlessly collaborate with people both inside and outside of the organization – has become necessary for business operations. Despite these exciting improvements, several hurdles are keeping customers from true borderless collaboration. Here are three of the biggest, and how to overcome them:

−

'''Hurdle 1''': Teams within the same organization use different platforms. To tackle this issue, work with the leadership team and department heads to determine how many different tools are currently in use and why each team prefers its own method.

−

'''Hurdle 2''': Cross-vendor integrations remain limited. While there’s no one-and-done solution to this problem, once the customer standardizes an internal system, extend the conversation to critical external partners about the tools they use and why. Often the easiest route is to see if the tools leverage APIs from other collaboration vendors.

−

'''Hurdle 3''': IT environments are more complex. Partner with employees instead of dictating choices or working around them. [http://www.channelpartnersonline.com/blog/3-ways-partners-can-help-customers-achieve-borderless-collaboration/ [more]]

Some organisations are adopting the agile approach right across their business. But can a large organisation ever really be agile? Agile is about combining speed and stability, say researchers at McKinsey & Company. It’s the ability to rapidly adjust to new ways of doing things, while having clear roles and structures. It’s also about breaking down silos between business units. Technology on its own can’t turn a slow-moving organisation into an agile one. However, there are tools that can help. By breaking down silos, collaborating on documents, using collaboration tools to stay organized, staying up to date, and by taking an iterative approach, organisations can ease the transition to agile.

Low-code development aims to make it easier to build applications by removing as much of the hand-coding as possible. Such initiatives become even more important as companies have to build applications to work across a wider range of devices, including smartphones. Appian is one of the low-code companies looking to accelerate this trend. Appian CEO Matt Culkins describes the company and with the low-code industry which has come along with it as having a new way of building unique software that allows the user to make this software very powerful very easily. “Instead of starting with writing lines of code you begin with a drawing like a flow chart. You drag-and-drop elements onto the palette and you create a flow of behaviours. Then, you can configure each one of those elements and drill into it and configure your forms, and your data integrations,” outlined Culkins.

A consideration to make when vetting collaboration products is whether the platform will be deployed to fit a specific subset of your organization's overall collaboration needs, or if the platform will be used as a one-stop shop for all collaboration uses. You'll need to research the various team collaboration apps for data security specifics, including the need for end-to-end message and data transport encryption. You should closely examine how the team collaboration app integrates with third-party web or cloud-based applications, as your organization may also benefit from integrating other applications within the overall collaboration landscape. It is also important to consider what type of technical support is available. The capability of managing collaboration users and groups from an administration standpoint is another important aspect of collaboration products. Finally, you must factor cost into your list of considerations, as the pricing models between products can vary significantly due to the major differences in features and management options.

Early this fall, Microsoft announced that 125,000 organizations in 181 markets use Teams, its group chat tool that competes with Slack. Teams is making inroads with the enterprise. And it's doing so because it offers a new approach of communicating and collaborating within Office 365, enabling organizations to work faster and more effectively than ever by pivoting the communications experience by project and topic, instead of by people and meetings. It allows you to aggregate related content from other sources for inclusion in your Teams channel. Real-time voice/video calling and online meetings via Skype for Business is integrated into the Teams experience. However, organizations just aren't prepared for the increased demand on the network that comes with Teams and other tools that make real-time communications super easy to use. If everyone in your organization is suddenly connecting on Teams, which is a cloud-based service, your network may not be able to handle the load. Today's new collaboration tools like Teams can be highly effective, but they require a robust network and Wi-Fi to deliver optimal performance everyone will expect, as well as to provide the ability to respond to a problem quickly and identify the root cause immediately.

Their announcement relates to two widely used open source software licenses: The GNU General Public License (GPL) and the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). The GPL version 3 (GPLv3) introduced an express termination approach that offered users an opportunity to cure errors in license compliance, especially mistakes that are inadvertent.

Companies such as Walmart, Starbucks, Lyft, Verizon, and Groupon have adopted digital workspace solutions to increase collaboration, improve communication, and enhance employee engagement. For businesses operating in multiple environments, digital workspace tools shorten the distance between locations and teams. Today’s business environment requires a higher level of collaboration than ever before. The current generation of tools is a valuable addition for improving communication, breaking down silos, sharing knowledge, and helping sustain the organization’s culture. It’s important to define goals and parameters for success, including the information you want to share, whether you are open to receiving information and input from employees, and how to ensure that knowledge is shared. The article recommends providing an immediate interface that brings the user to their digital home page, and to make it relevant and useful to ensure the digital work space helps employees be more efficient and effective. The digital workspace should be interactive, as connection and collaboration require conversation. Additionally, the digital work space should include social zones to allow the team to interact on a personal level.

Business messaging is currently driving workplace collaboration because it's often free, easy to use and works on all devices. Not all communications technologies can boast these incentives. As a result, businesses should expand their thinking to consider messaging use cases. However, because of the rise of the cloud and mobility, business messaging deployments have become more prevalent in collaboration workflows. Business messaging largely emerged from the consumer world. As people texted each other in their personal lives on their mobile devices, they then expected and wanted those short bursts of information and communication in their work lives. The messaging interface is also familiar to most users, which helps with adoption.

Polar Talks’ panel on Agile Development didn’t glorify the agile approach. Agile development does not solve all problems, but it does help in their early discovery. However, whether the emerged problems are addressed properly depends on the team, the scrum master and of course the product owner. In the end, developers may end up with an easy solution that solves the task at hand quickly, rather than the best approach that takes longer to build. General architecture guidelines say you need to have some architecture in place before you start the first sprint. But the most important decisions will come as the problems arise, with design proposals that must be tested in order to be proven and accepted. This task is like any other task and can be done in every sprint that requires it. The panel also stressed the importance of keeping clients in the loop and making sure that they truly understand the agile approach. The discussion rested that although not perfect the agile methodology will prevail the development field for couple of more years.

Messaging and collaboration platform Symphony has been called a ‘Bloomberg-killer’ since its launch in 2014 because it offers a cheaper alternative to the chat function in the popular data terminals long considered a mainstay for traders. The platform started out as an in-~~house chat tool at Goldman Sachs, providing secure communications between employees and allowing them to easily share sensitive documents~~. ~~Symphony is now valued at over $1 billion~~, ~~according to reports~~, ~~and has 235,000 subscribers~~, ~~with users that range from traders and portfolio managers to salespeople and risk managers~~. But Symphony CEO David Gurle believes his company’s appeal goes further than financial market traders. Symphony is already selling to organizations in other highly regulated industries outside of financial services, ~~such as healthcare~~, ~~defense, legal and government, and wants to expand in the areas in the year ahead~~. ~~Along with basic chat functions~~, ~~screen sharing, voice and video calls are supported~~.

Presently, if you do want to save a tweet, the only workaround is to hit the like button as a way to save a tweet. However, your liked tweets appears publicly on your profile and timeline (and sometimes your followers’ timelines) and also notifies the person who posted the tweet. There is no current roadmap for when Bookmarks will officially roll out. [https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/23/16694134/twitter-testing-bookmarks-save-for-later-feature [more]]

Late last month, Facebook's collaboration tool, appropriately named Workplace, was revealed to have been adopted by more than 30,000 organisations since its launch in 2016. Facebook's advantage in the space is similar to the advantage Google had when it launched its collaboration tech offering a decade ago: it's a powerful name with a well-known, widely-used product. As the way we work continues to change, so should the tools that help us get that work done quickly and securely. Facebook's success with Workplace could mean the company will begin a larger transition away from the consumer market. A desktop chat app has already been added to the product's repertoire and group video calling has been teased. While organisations such as Slack and Microsoft may be feeling threatened by Facebook's new offering, it's just as likely the added competition will simply inspire innovation at an increased rate.

Unified communications largely benefit knowledge workers. This loosely defined group mostly consists of white-collar workers who perform non-routine tasks often requiring critical thinking. A knowledge worker usually has a phone, email account, and desk. Of course, the modern enterprise also has many other kinds of employees, such as those in manufacturing, on the sales floor, and providing field service. UC has underserved these groups. Both workstream collaboration applications and the shift toward mobile-first are enabling more effective enterprise-wide communications. Workstream collaboration solutions initially built momentum around development teams. Today, they're quickly expanding to serve deskless workers. Mobile apps defer installation and setup to the end user. Less training -- or even zero training -- means employees begin interacting and collaborating right away. International Data Corporation forecasts mobile workers will account for 72% of the US workforce by 2020. Two factors are fueling this trend: the increasing functionality of mobile apps, and the near ubiquity of mobile devices and wireless connectivity. For example, Walmart recently announced it was adopting Workplace by Facebook. Employees who had no tool can now suddenly easily interact with co-workers in the same store and between different locations. Furthermore, messaging-based solutions are more inclusive than voice, IM, and email, and more tolerant to the inevitable interruptions that field workers encounter. These solutions also enable improved content discovery and keep a higher percentage of employees better informed. [http://www.nojitter.com/post/240173077/deskless-workers-need-uc-too [more]]

Chuck Blakeman, author and founder of the Crankset Group, takes issue with the hierarchical organizational models that have been with us since the dawn of the Industrial Age. Blakeman calls for ‘rehumanizing’ businesses, where employees become stakeholders, and managers give way to leaders – what he calls the ‘participation age.’ The key to this is driving decision-making down to individuals. “The most human things you can do at work is ask questions and make decisions,” Blakeman says. The most dramatic disruption within Blakeman’s vision for the participation age, perhaps, is its complete lack of managers. Instead, companies require leaders, and teams of stakeholders do their own managing. Placing business agility into the context of extracting value from assets thus focuses on the concepts and structures of the business, rather than how people work within that business. “Business Agility” envisions an ability to modify dynamically the concepts and structures of the business itself for maintaining relevance in the context of a dramatically changing, complex and uncertain operational environment.

A study Lifesize recently commissioned with Spiceworks shows that 56% of IT professionals don't know how much their organizations are spending on subscriptions or licenses for collaboration. Instead of trying to manage an ensemble of disparate collaboration products, IT should seek to create a cohesive collaboration ecosystem – a network of integrated, interoperable tools at every employee's disposal for the means of communicating more efficiently and effectively. The most critical step for IT teams for figuring out what tools they need is to conduct a collaboration technology audit to identify what collaboration technologies are already in use and how often. In order to consolidate where possible, track down the stakeholders and contracts for all products uncovered by the audit, and look for things like multiple maintenance agreements, support contracts, minute-based fees, and on-premises hardware costs.

~~The ability to collaborate and collaborate well is more important than ever. The following three skills will help organizations meet collaboration demands now and in the near future. ~~

−

• One of the most important skills is the ability to transfer critical information to other team members. When dealing with other people, your tone of voice, even the expression on your face, can help or hinder these interactions. The best way to learn various collaboration skills is through playing a game or scenario. Learning this way seems to have the greatest impact and improves the rate of retention.

−

• It is also important to adapt a collaborative mindset. The ability to listen to others, make a judgement on what they say without being dismissive and potentially building on that initial idea requires the ability to hold several conflicting strat-egines in your head at the same time, as well as a level of respect between all participants.

−

• We must also consider the potential of person to machine collaboration. Collaborating with intelligent agents, bots, conversational interfaces, etc. may not be critical today, but it's becoming more critical as every day goes by.

New collaboration solutions are sprouting up to enhance business productivity and team members seem to be eager to try them out. The focus on collaboration becomes more specific with the interest in specific collaboration tools and the way they can facilitate their work and the communication among teams. The rise of collaboration tools can be attributed to a series of changes in the business landscape. The most important has to do with a digital transformation that has led to a huge shift in the workplace and the way teams work. In addition to these, our fast-paced world makes time crucial, which leads to another reason that collaboration tools become vital for organizations. They allow businesses to access and organize files, tasks, and projects while having them available for a transparent environment among teams. This creates a collaborative process that is digital and global, focusing on the business goals and the best ways to achieve them in faster, better and possibly cheaper yet effective methods.

Microsoft unveiled a trio of updates to its suit of developer tools today that are designed to improve the workflows for people building modern applications. Visual Studio Live Share will allow developers to collaborate on projects with one another. The feature shares code between people on a team so that everyone can work together on the same project within their preferred editor or development environment. Azure DevOps Projects is a feature that’s designed to help developers set up modern build and deployment pipelines using Microsoft’s cloud. Visual Studio App Center, previously known as Visual Studio Mobile Center, has entered general availability. That suite of services is supposed to help developers build better applications through remote testing with the Xamarin Test Cloud, sharing beta software with users through HockeyApp, and other services. All of this is part of Microsoft’s continuing efforts to help developers be more effective on its platforms.

Twitter a officialisé le lancement d’API premium. Payantes, celles-ci permettront aux développeurs de passer outre certaines limites imposées sur les API gratuites sans toutefois être aussi onéreuses que les API d’entreprises. Twitter a lancé en début d’année une plateforme dédiée à ses API, mais les offres manquaient à l’appel pour répondre aux besoins des entreprises et projets de petite taille qui souhaitaient en profiter. Les prix des API premium commencent à partir de 149 dollars par mois et peuvent s’élever jusqu’à 2 499 dollars par mois selon les conditions d’accès choisies par les développeurs. La première de ces API à avoir été présentée s’appelle Search API : elle permet d’accéder aux tweets publiés sur la plateforme dans les 30 derniers jours.

“Fake news” and other misinformation, online propaganda, and satirical content people believe is true have filled the web via search engines and social media, and have caused a rift in how people perceive today’s news organizations and the quality of their coverage. A nonpartisan effort called The Trust Project is working to address this situation by helping online users distinguish between reliable journalism and promotional content or misinformation. A key part of that effort – called “Trust Indicators” – are going live on Facebook, offering easy-to-access, transparent information about a news organization’s ethics and practices. On Facebook, an icon will appear next to articles in the News Feed. When you click on this icon, you can read information the publisher has shared related to their organization’s “ethics and other standards, the journalists’ backgrounds, and how they do their work,” according to an announcement from The Trust Project. Facebook, Google, Bing and Twitter have all committed to displaying these indicators, though not all implementations are yet live.

There are many positives to using Slack, Teamwork Chat and the wide variety of similar communication tools. Collaboration tools provide teams with a designated platform on which to discuss and develop projects, allowing everyone to share and consolidate their ideas. These apps provide a designated platform for workplace communication without the distractions of Facebook Messenger or Google chat, allowing for greater office efficiency. But in this era of digital communication, how formal should our professional communications be? It’s important to set expectations and provide guideposts for the appropriate use of different media in the workplace. Although emoticons provide context, including smiley faces in your email correspondence this allegedly leads readers to view you as less competent. Only professional communication platforms should be used internally, as external tools risk exposing private, confidential, trademarked, financial, or other sensitive information to the public or competitors. Instant communication does have other benefits as well, such as breaking down hierarchal boundaries. [https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/10343-workplace-digital-communication-etiquette.html [more]]

Advanced communications used to be only for large enterprise customers, however cloud computing leveled the playing field. Now, even the smallest business can use the same team collaboration apps that large companies use. Certain situations accentuate the benefits of these team collaboration apps when compared to traditional communications methods. With a modern, collaborative, messaging-centric platform, project team members can be added or removed from a chat group at any time. Members who are added to the group can access previous messages, links or content that was shared prior to them joining. This ensures everyone has access to project content no matter who they are or when they joined the group. Additionally, many platforms have contextual search capabilities that help users find content in the group chat history. Traditionally, team collaboration tools fell short in providing end-to-end message encryption, data visibility and reporting, as well as the ability to manage their own data encryption keys using a privately managed, on-premises server. Now, several cloud collaboration tools offer these advanced compliance features to allow virtually any business vertical to safely use their platforms. The ultimate goal of unified collaboration should be to use a single platform for all communication needs throughout an entire organization.

There are a lot of non-programming specialists whose expertise could directly benefit ML models. Pienso, an MIT project that its founders hope can make the process of training machine learning models more accessible to non-technical people, addresses this issue. The Brooklyn-based startup announced that it has closed $2.1 million in seed funding led by Eniac Ventures, with participation from SoftTech VC, Indicator Ventures and E14 Fund. The company is using this cash to grow the small team and start growing its customer base. The company’s core product, the Intelligent Development Environment, is an end-to-end solution that includes features like Lens, which gives non-technical folk the ability to interact directly with machine learning algorithms. Pienso aims to solve what is often referred to as the human-in-the-loop problem, where human judgment is needed to gather feedback and strengthen ML models.

Machine learning can help us build a better future by capturing the complexity of people and jobs, making it easier for them to find each other. Even in this technological era, people still learn about great opportunities via random chance, often because the opportunities they are looking for cannot be captured in search keywords. The article proposes a machine learning model to analyse every job and human attribute, as machine learning models are particularly good at capturing the underlying traits of high-dimensional content. Sourceress creates a custom-tailored model for each role to capture the nuances that job descriptions inevitably brush over.

−

~~'''November 9, 2017 – Venture Beat''' ~~

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman talks about the site’s upcoming redesign. In July, Reddit raised $200 million (at a valuation of $1.8 billion) to redesign its website. The company is tweaking the algorithm to improve relevancy based on time spent in individual subreddits, running various experiments to improve onboarding of new users, building new content creation tools, improving moderation tools, tweaking what and how you can post on your profile, creating an event content type for pre/during/post coverage, improving content relevance for users abroad and exploring how to proactively grow internationally. Reddit has succeeded despite having poor UI because they have a wealth great content. Huffman offers two lessons for those considering a redesign-- “Do: Make sure you’re trying to solve real problems. Don’t: Just create busy work for yourself.” Reddit’s redesign focuses on mobile, as engagement in their native apps is very high compared to every other platform. The redesign is supposed to achieve a few things: boost engagement, improve the experience for existing users, get new users to join, revamp the code base, and bring in more revenue. In December, all Reddit users will be able to opt in and try out the redesign. In Q1 2018 (the goal was previously Q4 2017), Huffman hopes to turn on the redesign for all users, by default.

Salesforce is launching a new feature that uses machine learning to let customers make predictions based on data stored with its software. Einstein Prediction Builder is designed to take any of the fields that users have set up inside a piece of software such as Salesforce’s Sales Cloud CRM and generate predictions for future outcomes based on saved data. The feature is designed to make it easier for companies and users who don’t have machine learning expertise to reap the benefits of the current explosion in AI technology. Custom predictions can be set up through a visual editor and don’t require coding of any sort. The amount of data needed will scale with the complexity of the task customers are asking the Prediction Builder to address. This news comes alongside the announcement of Einstein Bots, a feature that is designed to provide customers with bots that can help automate customer interactions based on information that’s stored in Salesforce.

Whenever artificial intelligence (AI) is mentioned in a business context, the conversation inevitably turns to the subject of chatbots. But chatbots are not the definitive example of how businesses can use AI. In fact, not all chatbots will be driven by AI; the majority are scripted and follow a simple decision-tree process. AI's true power lies in analyzing data and making real-time decisions based on that information. An effective AI system draws data from a Data Management Platform: The more complete and high quality the data, the better the AI system will be able to function. Poor data will result in poor, ineffectual artificial intelligence. AI perceives its environment and makes decisions that will maximize its chance of achieving any given goal. For example, this could range from optimizing profit margin, to maximizing stock efficiencies. [https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/303897 [more]]

Google’s second annual Go North conference kicked off with a discussion between OpenAI Director Shivon Zilis and AI Fund Director of Ethics and Governance Tim Hwang. Both shared perspective on AI’s progress, its public perception, and how we can help ensure its responsible development going forward. When Hwang brought up the fact that artificial intelligence researchers are, in some ways, “basically writing policy in code” because of how influential the particular perspectives or biases inherent in these systems will be, and suggested that researchers could actually consciously set new cultural norms via their work, Zilis added that the total number of people setting the tone for incredibly intelligent AI is probably “in the low thousands.” Zilis concluded that she has three guiding principles in terms of how she thinks about the future of responsible artificial intelligence development: First, the tech’s coming no matter what, so we need to figure out how to bend its arc with intent. Second, how do we get more people involved in the conversation? And finally, we need to do our best to front load the regulation and public discussion needed on the issue, since ultimately; it’s going to be a very powerful technology.

A new survey of data scientists and machine learners shows expectations that machine learning is all about self-driving cars and working for the biggest names in tech need adjusting: the biggest challenge is actually cleaning dirty data. Contemporary AI systems generally learn by example, which is why companies like Google and Amazon have been able to build such effective image and speech recognition platforms: they have a ton of data from users. But AI systems are still computer programs which are sensitive to errors. This inflexibility includes the data they can learn from. Workers in AI and machine learning fields have to comb through datasets with hundreds of thousands of entries, tracking down missing values and remove any formatting errors. “Data cleaning is a much higher proportion of data science than an outsider would expect” – Kaggle founder and CEO Anthony Goldbloom.

Une transformation numérique ne s'achète pas sur l’étagère, pas plus qu'elle ne se limite à la technologie. Le pilier «Humains» est capital, mais aussi complexe à maîtriser. Les expériences réussies permettent toutefois de démarrer avec les bonnes approches. Pour un patron, faire référence au «digital» tient de plus en plus de l'incontournable, voire de l'exercice de style. C'est bon pour l'image. Ça rassure aussi actionnaires et investisseurs de compagnies comme Facebook avec le nombre d'internautes actifs ? Peut-être. Parler de numérique ne suffit pas néanmoins. Comment distinguer les beaux parleurs de la transformation numérique de ses artisans ? Ces derniers reconnaîtront volontiers les difficultés rencontrées, comme celles citées dans l'étude «The Digital Transformation PACT». Parmi les 1625 dirigeants interrogés, 46% font état de la mise en place de projet de transformation. Ils sont en outre 86% à planifier «l'impact de la technologie sur leurs activités au-delà des 12 prochains mois». «Il ne suffit plus d'avoir les meilleurs appareils et applications sous la main : sans le talent et les compétences pour les utiliser, ils sont inutiles.

Team collaboration is a key driver in achieving the goal of staying ahead of competitors, especially for global businesses that operate in different time zones and use many devices to communicate and collaborate. Yet there is always a need to collaborate more efficiently. In a recent survey conducted by the Harvard Business Review it was found that 72% of companies said “effective team communication” has grown in importance over the past two years – especially since the emergence of unified communications. The working world is changing rapidly and integrated communications and collaborations solutions are fast-becoming a necessity – where those who fail to modernise may get left behind. Without a clear focus on a team collaboration working, a perplexing mixture of tools can have negative consequences on your team’s efficiency, motivation and productivity levels.

Agile or lean start-up can be considered, adapted and effectively applied with the right mindset, capacity and conditions to understand and address needs in a given context. Mindset, practice and context all matter. Purpose and results do too. Perhaps most importantly — and related to capacity — we can also add people, as in, who’s engaged, their perspectives, relationships, roles and responsibilities are all important if any method or approach is to enable meaningful change. The rhetoric of agile, lean start-up, and I’d add, design thinking has informed and followed the drive for public sector innovation with the aim of enabling government to be open, social and digital for better outcomes. Many government organisations have a bias towards getting quick answer. When prompted, we converge on announceables, “shiny objects”, new policy, program and operational ideas and pilot projects. Online portals invite citizens and stakeholders to share their “actionable ideas and solutions” to address complex challenges with limited framing and shared understanding. Is a tendency to call for actions without shared understanding of contexts and needs problematic? Understandably though, existing policy, research and program functions, and enabling services, focus much, if not all, of their efforts on existing delivery. That’s important, but if we engage others through the lens of marketing what we currently do or are proposing to do for them, we may miss out on innovation opportunities with them.

While advances are being made in the field of artificial intelligence at an increasingly rapid pace, efforts to automate an investor’s process have mostly fallen flat. There are several examples, including a push by Paul Tudor Jones to build an algorithm that would mimic his analytical process, of these types of efforts fizzling – though of course firms like Bridgewater have successfully automated many of their trading strategies. While machine-learning algorithms and other technologies are encroaching on work performed by money managers, traders and analysts, many firms are still facing issues, and coders still have a long way to go. Furthermore, the notion that Wall Street powerhouses use all the latest and greatest technology is misleading. According to Bloomberg, many companies rely on aging computers and Microsoft excel. Bloomberg reports the average age of software used by financial firms is about 38 years, according to technology tracker CB Insights. And data, the bedrock upon which AI is built, are often fragmented or inaccurate. However, replicating the skills of an equity or credit trader remains an obstacle. Automating trading in credit markets has been especially challenging because so much of a credit traders job hinges on judgment, the idiosyncrasies of each trade and human interaction.

Computing is undergoing a major shift regarding the proliferation of Machine Learning and AI technology. Whereas Machine Learning is about making systems that can learn from experience, the goals of artificial intelligence are much broader. AI researchers are trying to create a machine which can mimic a human mind. While ML is a subset of AI, it shouldn’t be thought of as less important. With all the data necessary to Machine Learning being used and analysed there are also dangers-- risks of security breaches, hacking, cyber criminals, and more. Technology companies have a responsibility to guard privacy, security and safety of its user base that is greater than their need to sell products. If a smartphone or a smart IoT device has ML capabilities then it is able to use those capabilities for a multitude of tasks including for security, privacy and fraud prevention. By learning patterns about times, places, accelerometer readings (i.e. how you hold and move your phone), amounts and online habits, then a machine learning algorithm will be able to help protect a user from cyber criminals. These advances in device security and fraud protection need more than just a technical solution; they need a commitment from the tech companies themselves to ensure that they embrace their responsibilities and make security a primary design consideration for all devices.

Writer Jason Perlow discusses the future aspirations of Google as it pertains to its overall market strategy for both cloud and mobile. Perlow writes that Google's cloud has excellent technology and has tremendous infrastructure that it is very good at running. It has, according to Google's own claims, a $10 billion per year budget on data center buildout. While one can make architectural decisions about your application and which of these providers to develop a cloud-hosted solution for based on technical merits alone, technical merits aren't everything if you are trying to make money as a cloud-based services provider. Having a good partner relationship with your cloud provider is essential. While Google indeed has an impressive development staff, Perlow believes that they are missing partner program representation. Partner programs are important when selling managed cloud services, as they facilitate a want of technical enablement, increased levels of business support, and sales and marketing enablement.

Selon IDC, les dépenses mondiales dans la robotique et les services afférents feront plus que doubler d'ici 2020, passant de 91,5 milliards de dollars en 2016 à plus de 188 milliards en 2020. Le cabinet d'études indique que les innovateurs dans le secteur de la robotique créent des machines qui peuvent être utilisées pour réaliser un éventail plus large de tâches, ce qui contribue à doper l'adoption des robots dans tous les secteurs. L'informatique à la demande joue un rôle clé dans l'adoption des machines intelligentes. À mesure que le traitement se déplacera vers la périphérie, les entreprises pourront tirer parti de la robotique dans tout un tas de domaines, depuis la fabrication jusqu'aux véhicules autonomes.

The launch of Workplace by Facebook furthered the integration of social media into the professional setting. CIO Ajai Sehgal shares how the business consultancy Chemistry Group uses Workplace and the impact he believes the collaboration tool and platforms like it will have on working lives. For Chemistry, Workplace has served as a natural platform to facilitate the building of a community, despite a geographically dispersed workforce. It functions very similarly to Facebook, so as integrate naturally into their daily working lives. Some may argue that it blurs the lines between time in and out of the office too much, but the benefits Chemistry has seen include breaking down hierarchies, building more trust across the business, and helping to maintain a positive attitude towards the work. Workplace can also provide insight into engagement that other methods cannot. At Chemistry, data analytics are used to monitor engagement in Workplace which, in turn, echoes overall company-wide engagement.

Collaborative messaging applications can help enterprises manage multiple projects with various contributors. Ideas, concepts and content can be shared easily within a group on any device, whether it's a desktop, tablet or phone. These team collaboration tools don't require the contributors to meet at a specified time. Instead, content relevant to a specific topic or conversation is added at the users' discretion, facilitating remote work. Early adopters of collaboration technologies experienced collaboration overload-- where each tool while useful in its own right becomes disconnected from other team collaboration tools to the point where the message gets lost in the noise. The advent of cloud collaboration is eliminating the difficulties associated with collaboration overload. Organisations are no longer required to buy and maintain on-premises collaboration servers for the various services they want to deploy. Cloud messaging services can be used for group messaging, file sharing, virtual interactive whiteboarding, management and administration options, and more.

Cisco recently acquired BroadSoft, a Maryland company that delivers unified communications via service providers, for $1.9 billion. The purchase gives Cisco a new way to sell its communications tools as it shifts its focus from a pure networking hardware company to one focused on software and services delivered in the cloud. This acquisition comes on the heels of an announcement last week that Cisco intended to purchase Perspica and fold the engineering team into AppDynamics, a company it purchased earlier this year for $3.7 billion. While last week’s purchase was focused on data and machine learning, and understanding how performance affects the overall business, today’s is firmly focused on Cisco’s collaboration side of the house, which includes WebEx and Spark. Alan Pelz-Sharpe, an analyst who is founder at Deep-Analysis, a firm that tracks collaboration tools says it should be a good match. “Broadsoft is a nice fit for Cisco as its products and strategy targets SME’s whereas Cisco targeted enterprises. Together they cover a much bigger addressable market and looks like a pretty sensible matchup,” [https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/23/cisco-scoops-up-broadsoft-for-1-9-billion-to-boost-communications-tools-portfolio/ [more]]

In this latest blow to human superiority the robot student has become the self-replicating master. AutoML was developed as a solution to the lack of top-notch talent in AI programming. The system runs thousands of simulations to determine which areas of the code can be improved, makes the changes, and continues the process ad infinitum, or until its goal is reached. AutoML is better at coding machine-learning systems than the researchers who made it. In an image recognition task it reached record a high 82 percent accuracy. Even in some of the most complex AI tasks, its self-created code is superior to humans; it can mark multiple points within an image with 42 percent accuracy compared to human-made software’s 39.

This article considers how to determine whether a team, a unit or an organization is or is not Agile. Poorly implemented Agile can give Agile a bad name, it is important to be able to articulate the minimum viable requirements of true Agile. In September 2016, a group of large firms came together in New York to tackle this tangle of issues head-on. They set out to see whether they could agree on what Agile stood for in their own organizations. After several days of a lively debate, the firms converged on four elements of the Agile mindset that they saw as representing the essence of Agile for their organizations: delighting customers, descaling work, enterprise-wide Agility, nurturing culture. The firms involved were members of the SD Learning Consortium (SDLC), a nonprofit corporation registered in the state of Virginia. While there is agreement among the SDLC members on these four principles, there is continuing discussion about the use of the word “Agile.” [https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2017/10/15/what-is-agile-the-four-essential-elements/#395e9fef6e85 [more]]

For example, Iguaz.io CTO Yaron Haviv says that AWS is just “putting up an open source show,” not “real” open source like Google does—even though AWS actively contributes to Apache MXNet, with more than 40 percent of contributions from more than 400 developers to the project). Corporations always use open source as a way to further corporate interest. As Matt Wood, AWS’s general manager of AI and deep learning, described in an interview, AWS has always existed to take technology that was traditionally only in reach of well-funded organizations and make it accessible to a much broader audience. Open source is just one more way that Amazon seeks to democratize technology. Amazon’s open source approach contains three levels. The first level includes “black box” which are geared toward developers with limited amounts of data to train machine learning models, giving them the ability to build things like voice services. The second level offers a collection of services for developers who have adequate data for training machine learning models but still don’t want to bother with the undifferentiated heavy lifting of building everything themselves. The third level is where open source comes into play, because it includes open source packages and libraries to help put neural networks into the hands of non-experts.

In similar fashion, open source developers share code partly because it's just more efficient. DevOps and open source engineers alike tend to believe that people should be judged on merit alone. DevOps and open source communities both value dissent. The open source (and free software) community in particular is notable for its quarrels and strong opinions.

DevOps, an agile development partnership between software development and IT operations, requires centering communication which makes it a valuable tool for government organisations. When communication breaks down within development teams or between development teams and enterprise technology, projects fail.Organizations new to this mindset often find it difficult to transition their legacy systems using DevOps or understand what methods might work best for them. With the emergence of new resources and strategies, organizations are quickly realizing the value of DevOps. More specifically, the importance of finding new and efficient ways for their teams to communicate and encourage DevOp practices. To better understand DevOps, it’s often helpful to approach it by understanding its benefits, how it impacts teams and internal processes. Organizations with an hierarchical structure often reap the most benefits when integrating DevOps strategies. Implementing DevOps removes the issues associated with knowledge silos and the improvements can be regularly measured. Integrating visuals with your collaboration tools makes the development process and technical content more accessible.

According to Forbes, mobile companies enjoy improved productivity by replacing long, outdated processes with more effective mobile models. Mobility also increases employee engagement and overall happiness when compared to companies that don’t prioritize mobile. MarketsandMarkets research states that the enterprise collaboration market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13.2 percent between 2016 and 2021. This growth will come mostly in the form of cloud-based mobile apps. Consumer-facing apps have used push notifications to connect with customers for some time. Enterprises are now beginning to tap into the value of this feature as well. Though push notifications do require employees to opt in, they can provide a highly effective way to communicate if employers can get them to do so. Banners provide another way to alert or inform employees about important changes or to provide useful information. The value of both push notifications and in-app banners is their visibility. Businesses with large campuses or dispersed employees can also use mobile apps to make navigation easier. Employees can now use features within their mobile apps to book meeting rooms, navigate from one place to another in large, multi-building campuses, or even to help find the right conference room.

~~'''October 12, 2017 – TechCrunch''' ~~

−

Google’s TensorFlow team released TensorFlow Lattice today to help developers ensure that their machine learning models adhere to global trends even when training data is noisy. Lattice draws from the concept of lookup tables to simplify the process of defining macro rules to restrict models. A lookup table is a representation of data that includes inputs (keys) and outputs (values). Roughly speaking, the TensorFlow team’s approach is to train the lookup table values using training data to maximize accuracy given constraints. Operating this way offers a number of benefits, such as simplifying the process to define monotonic relationships— it allows developers to ensure that as inputs move in a single direction, outputs move in the same direction. These constraints utilize prior knowledge to improve outcomes, particularly when models are applied to similar, yet unique, problems. Additionally, computation is expensive and sometimes it’s more efficient to use a reference table and estimate (interpolate) between missing values rather than compute for every input/output pair. Having a lattice table also means that developers have access to greater transparency than alternative approaches traditionally offer.

~~'''October 11, 2017 – FedScoop''' ~~

−

The Office of American Innovation and American Technology Council has solicited public comments on the White House draft report on IT modernization. They received over 90 submissions posted to GitHub,which are awaiting White House review. A letter targeting 18F and the U.S. Digital Service written by Kenneth Glueck, senior vice president at Oracle, addresses what the company sees as “three false narratives that have taken the [U.S. Government] off course.” Among these “false narratives” is the concept that, as Oracle puts it, “in-house government IT development know-how is critical for IT modernization.” The company claims that “in-house government procurement and program management expertise is central to successful modernization efforts. Significant IT development expertise is not.” While Oracle seems to see in-house talent as a threat to its business, proponents of digital service say that’s just not the case. 18F and USDS are meant to complement private technology vendors, not replace them. The White House is currently reviewing comments from Oracle and others as the office drafts a final version of the IT modernization report.

Despite issues with their previous three operating systems, Microsoft’s corporate and technological capabilities cannot be underestimated. Microsoft spends more on marketing than R&D, $14.7 billion vs. 12 billion in 2016. The reason they continue to succeed is their partner network, which consists of consulting firms, software resellers, and the like and is responsible for 95% of Microsoft’s commercial revenue; making them their predominant customer. Most partners offer a wide range of services surrounding the Microsoft stack, including but not limited their implementation, management, and support (IMSs). However, the businesses that are trusting Microsoft partners are paying significantly more than the cost of their IMSs, which are less often than half of the story with regard to IT finance. Unfortunately, what is profitable for a typical consulting firm comes at the expense of their clients and there are few situations where Microsoft offers the most economical or productive solution than their competition. Conversely, as IT solutions become more defective over time, the cost and frequency of their IMSs increases, becoming more profitable for partner firms. Rather than putting their clients first and aligning their business model with their best interests, Microsoft partners seem to be in complete alignment with Microsoft for obvious reasons; hence the designation of “partner”.

Collaboration tools used to communicate with staff and clients is increasingly an expectation rather than a bonus for most organisations. “An ‘always available’ approach to customers may seem resource intensive to a small business, but with the correct technology, the workload can be relieved,” said Tim Patchett, cloud voice product manager, Virgin Media Business. The ways an organisation stays in touch with its clients will differ to the ways it stays in touch with staff. For example, one could offer a live chat box on the website.Texting, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Skype and so on are easy ways to stay in touch with colleagues – even when they’re out of the office. As long as staff remain connected to the internet, they should also be able to access emails remotely, and in theory there’s nothing to prevent a team working together as efficiently.

Slack is touting a partnership that will allow its team messaging tool to act as the interface for a range of Oracle business applications. The deal has advantages for both companies, offering Oracle a new method of engagement with its sales, HR and ERP apps and handing Slack a chance to boost its presence in large organizations. Slack has made significant efforts to court large corporate customers as the collaboration software market continues to grow. The tie-up with Oracle should is aimed at furthering these ambitions. “If Slack can become the preferred messaging client for Oracle customers (and [is] pushed via Oracle’s sales channels) then it could help seed Slack adoption within Oracle shops,” said Alan Lepofsky, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research.After it’s fully launched in the next few months, customers will be able to deploy bots within Slack using Oracle’s Intelligent Bot Service allowing end users to retrieve information without switching applications.

~~'''September 27, 2017 – CIO Review''' ~~

−

Encouraging and enabling employees to pursue their best ideas increases innovation and enhances the organisation’s position in the marketplace. According to Alan G. Robinson, professor at the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, the average U.S. employee’s ideas, big or small, are implemented only once every six years. A digital collaboration is needed to promote and foster innovation, creating space for nurturing ideas throughout an organization. The results not only keep organizations at the leading edge of their industries, but also boost employee engagement and retention. The article suggests boosting digital collaboration by creating an innovation engine, establishing a workplace hub, and by promoting rapid replication. It is imperative that you ensure you are getting the most out of the internal collaborative platform you are using. This can be done by establishing a concrete vision for the platform, identifying key performance indicators, conducting regular assessments to gauge the platform’s performance, and by letting data drive decision-making. Identify a long-term plan to scale. [https://collaboration.cioreview.com/cxoinsight/is-digital-collaboration-the-missing-link-to-your-bottom-line-nid-24995-cid-124.html [more]]

Microsoft's mixed reality looks to create a "digital twin," essentially a virtual model of a physical thing, such as a product, process or service. Information is secured across both devices and services, so that blueprints and other design ideas are protected from leaks. Ford Motor Co. is using Microsoft's mixed-reality services to help design cars. Mixed-reality services, like Microsoft's HoloLens, could potentially streamline that process so teams can speed up decision-making across departments. Microsoft's mixed-reality services also integrate with Microsoft Teams, the vendor's main collaboration service. For example, product design notes made in the mixed-reality environment will appear in Teams so other team members can receive the notification. This type of immersive, visual collaboration echoes the digital collaborative whiteboards that have become popular in the past couple years in UC. Some collaborative whiteboards have been criticized for their high costs, lack of interoperability and applicability to niche vertical markets, such as manufacturing or engineering, where workers need to collaborate specifically around visual elements.

Improving the employee experience is a key part of enabling more effective collaboration in the enterprise. The success of collaborative technology is entirely dependent on employees changing the way they think about work in order for it to function. Organisations need to make sure their staff understands the reasons why these tools are being implemented, and what the intended goal is; educating the workforce about the benefits is crucial to get them on board.

Solid UC technology provides the necessary foundation for a successful digital transformation. A recent study by Nemertes Research found the companies that have the most success with their digital transformations are those that increase their spending on UC solutions more than any other area in IT. Digital transformation can take many forms, but in essence it's about radically transforming how a business operates in order to take advantage of the wave of digital technologies available today.A modern UC solution should aim to optimize communication and collaboration, and enable workers to easily reach and be reached by others, and therefore be more efficient and productive. A proper UC should allow users to be reachable via the same telephone number over a variety of devices. The fundamental problem for many organizations is that existing network infrastructure isn't prepared for the new demands of digital transformation. What organizations need is a holistic solution that can help them seamlessly monitor, manage, and optimize their multivendor UC environments from the application down to the network layer devices.

Google and Facebook are poised to announce separate measures to fight "fake news" after facing calls from federal governments to protect the political system from the dissemination of misleading information in the media. Google Canada will announce a $500,000 contribution to help educate young Canadians on the importance of news and trustworthy sources of information. The program will be delivered as part of hundreds of mock elections that will be held in schools in Ontario next year and across Canada in 2019. The NewsWise project is being organized jointly by CIVIX, the group that organizes Student Vote, and the Canadian Journalism Foundation. "This is an example of the fact we recognize that fake news is a concern to this government, it is a concern to us, and we saw an opportunity to take action," said Google Canada's head of public affairs, Aaron Brindle. Meanwhile, Facebook is planning an event in the near future to unveil what it calls the Canadian Election Integrity Initiative. Facebook Canada's initiative is a response to a recent federal report that listed key threats to Canada's electoral system, predicting that "multiple hacktivist groups" would use cybercapabilities to influence the 2019 general election.

−

~~September 19, 2017 – The Next Web ~~

−

React is a JavaScript library that makes it easier for developers to write sophisticated front-ends. It was built by an engineer at Facebook, and in 2013, Facebook released it to the developer community under an open-source license. Facebook also threw in a few other clauses, which many developers and companies are finding to be problematic. Essentially an individual’s right to use React could be revoked should they take Facebook to court over patent grounds, or if they counter-sue Facebook in a patent suit. If a React user sued Facebook on patent grounds, they could be faced with re-writing their entire web application’s front-end, which could be time-consuming and expensive. However, the likes of Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn benefit massively from sharing their code. Firstly, the code gets better as a wider community of coders works on it. Some companies use open source software as a recruitment tool. It’s a solid way to source potential hires. But in the same respect, it’s obvious that some companies – particularly Facebook – have an issue with the laisez-faire aspect of some open source licenses, and try to craft custom ones in order to maintain some element of control.

The American federal government is looking to modernize and secure IT systems by tapping into shared services and consolidating the use of networks, according to an IT modernization plan released last week by the American Technology Council (ATC). The report calls on federal agencies to maximize cloud usage, update government-hosted applications and securely maintain legacy systems in production. The IT modernization plan is a response to a May executive order, which called for upgrading federal IT to better protect national cybersecurity. The ATC wants to rethink how the government sources IT, in particular consolidating network acquisitions and management to avoid duplicate investments. The ATC is looking at shared services that will increase how the federal government uses the cloud and collaboration tools. Though some of the efforts would require changes to the federal IT acquisition process, the report calls for commercial cloud use, improvement of existing shared security services and increased adoption of cloud-based email and collaboration suites.

Legacy systems are making it hard for all businesses to make the move to mobile work, as most lack the flexibility to adapt to these technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud services all promise to transform businesses for the better, but only if they can be integrated properly. Open APIs combined with communications platforms may be the answer to this challenge. Communications platforms as-a-service (CPaaS) with open APIs are making this vision of the future possible. A platform with open APIs makes it much simpler to integrate new technologies and processes while offering a better connection between users and real-time information. For example, integrating with third-party applications could help automate workflows and advance collaboration among teams across enterprise boundaries, including time zones or countries.

According to an industry white paper, Millennials actively work better in teams, preferring collaborative environments over siloed offices. In the past, Gen-X workers and baby boomers preferred more face-to-face interaction, while millennials are keen to jump into the future with virtual conferencing and new flexible tech. With 95% of millennials craving the opportunity to telecommute, it’s no surprise that mobile collaboration apps are becoming increasingly popular. With so much demand for new and improved collaboration technology and fewer “in-person” meetings, it makes sense that the millennial generation would also be keen to adopt huddle rooms over larger conference spaces. Huddle rooms give more intimacy to the collaboration space, and also provide users with access to the latest and greatest technology.

Le Mardi 26 septembre 2017, au Centre d'affaires Paris Trocadéro, 112 avenue Kleber, 75016 Paris, CIO organise une Matinée Stratégique sur le thème « Digital Workplace : La révolution de l'expérience salarié à l'ère de l'entreprise hyperconvergée ». Un spécialiste des usages à l'ère numérique viendra ainsi expliquer comment « Concilier collaboration collective et autonomie individuelle ». L'approche de cette ouverture visera à balayer le sujet sur un plan presque sociologique. Elle complétera donc la diffusion des résultats de l'étude Comment mieux travailler à l'heure de la Révolution Numérique ?. Il y aura deux tables rondes. La première portera sur « Quelles technologies pour permettre le Digital Workplace ? » On y abordera des thèmes comme la virtualisation du poste de travail, l acréation d'applications web, le stockage réactif centralisé, le choix des terminaux pertinents, la mobilité et l'ubiquité. La seconde table ronde aura une approche plus managériale, « Quelles règles pour le Digital Workplace ? ». Celle-ci visera en effet à définir le meilleur management à l'époque de la génération Y, pour quelle sécurité et pour quel pilotage des terminaux opter afin de concilier autonomie et collaboration.

Microsoft is in competition with Slack and sees Facebook at Work as a threat as well. While Microsoft has lost the advantage they had in mobile when they completely underestimated the impact of the iPhone and Android, they have been far better at managing threats against their enterprise business.

The New York Times uses a number of different systems to produce content. They use several Content Management Systems, and they use third-party data and wire stories. On the other side there are a wide range of services and applications that need access to this published content — there are search engines, personalization services, feed generators, as well as all the different front-end applications, like the website and the native apps. The article describes a new approach that’s been developed to address this issue, based on a log-based architecture powered by Apache KafkaTM, called the Publishing Pipeline. The fact that all content is coming through the same pipeline is simplifying software development processes, both for front-end applications and back-end systems. Deployments have also become simpler. All assets published through the Gateway are assigned a unique message ID, and this ID is provided back to the publisher as well as passed along through Kafka and to the consuming applications, which allows tracking and monitoring when each individual update is processed in each system, all the way out to the end-user applications.

Plus besoin de longs échanges de mails procéduriers, les équipes pourront dorénavant collaborer directement via la messagerie sans pour autant créer de comptes invités. A l’heure actuelle, les comptes invités (simples ou multichaînes) ne sont disponibles que pour les équipes abonnées à un forfait payant. Les invités simples ont uniquement accès à une chaîne spécifique contrairement aux autres qui peuvent être ajoutés à un nombre illimité de chaînes. L’accès aux « channels » se fait uniquement sur invitation, chaque utilisateur payant pouvant ainsi permettre à 5 invités simples de rejoindre sa chaîne.

Il produit des assistants virtuels intelligents (« chatbots ») qui ont fait la manchette au printemps 2016, quand Facebook les a introduits au sein de sa plateforme Messenger. La différence avec les agents conçus par Nu Echo est que ces derniers peuvent interagir avec les autres canaux de communication utilisés dans les centres de contact clients, notamment le téléphone et le courriel. Quand l'assistant ne comprend pas le client, sa question est acheminée à un humain qui peut, en choisissant parmi un menu déroulant comprenant plusieurs possibilités, en faire comprendre le sens à l'intelligence artificielle, qui peut ensuite reprendre la conversation par elle-même.

On November 7, another piece of Nintendo's Miiverse, the artwork and message sharing service embedded into many Wii U games, will be shutting down because, as Nintendo puts it, "among other reasons, many users are shifting to social networking services." Shortly after Nintendo announced the Miiverse shutdown last week, developer Tim Miller started up an effort to permanently archive the network's public contents, complete with a GitHub page and the support of the Web preservationists at Archive Team. Because Miiverse has no public API, the team is still figuring out how to parse Miiverse URLs to get at all the network's public data through HTML scraping. So far, the team has identified more than 2 million distinct Miiverse users by following the trail of friends lists. Miller says he wants to organize it all into a database and maybe build a public website so people can search through the Miiverse archive at their leisure.

Since its creation in 2008, Reddit has adopted the open source approach. In a recent announcement, the company expressed its future plans to ditch the open source model and restrict the public access to the website’s “monolithic code.” As a result, the company is archiving its reddit/reddit and reddit/reddit-mobile GitHub repositories. According to their statement, it’s becoming tougher for the company to develop features, strategize, and keep them a secret as everyone can see what code is being committed. Its internal production code and the open source code have been moving further apart from each other. The company notes that as Reddit is becoming more service-oriented, it’s being divided into many small repositories. This division is making it difficult for the people to run a functional installation of Reddit. [https://fossbytes.com/reddit-open-source-code-closed-reason/ [more]]

−

In the American Federal Chief Information Officers Council’s latest study, the current state of government IT is described as monolithic. While the CIO Council acknowledged that the government lags behind the private sector in terms of adoption and utilization of technology, a shared services model applied by the public sector since the 1980s provides a hopeful foundation for the adoption of APIs. The government turned to shared services to reduce the number of technology silos being built. However, these shared services are only broadly used across agencies if they present a familiar and consistent mode of interaction. APIs provide that consistent mode of interaction. Agencies have become tied into inflexible systems that are expensive to maintain and are ill-suited to support mission critical requirements. APIs are critical in helping to upgrade the federal government’s existing base of legacy IT applications.

Technologists have long aspired to build a universal, collaborative canvas as the ideal platform for digital teamwork. Now, the rise of conversational computing is providing the tools needed to complete this vision. The eight major characteristics of collaborative canvas include messaging, content, sync, applications, people, permissions, and workflow. The use of Kanban to organize workflow in digitally connected teams factors into the quest to create a collaborative canvas. Kanban is a system that displays the work a team needs to do as a picklist of atomic tasks. The structure is not a document, but a noticeboard organized into sets of cards, giving team members visibility of work in progress and what needs to be done next. The second factor has been the rise of conversational computing, a new way of interacting with computers in natural language, whether by speech or messaging, enabled by artificial intelligence.

A current trend that’s increasing in popularity is the replacement of traditional workplace silos with collaborative spaces, making room for better employee creativity, innovation and productivity. According to research conducted by Deloitte, “Employees who collaborate are 10 times more likely to be satisfied with their job”. The articles provides advice for organisations looking to create collaborative spaces, such as looking at existing spaces where staff frequent and think about how these can be furbished to create a comfortable, welcoming place to engage. Consider the need for acoustic and or visual barriers, depending on the proximity of the collaborative space to other work areas and how exposed the space is. Accessibility and connectivity to technology is imperative for the space to be effective. Ultimately collaborative spaces are part of developing a supportive and flourishing business environment that integrates with the flow of work and they have the potential to benefit employees and organisations.

As smart city initiatives gain popularity, local governments are looking at ways that they can use technology to help improve their citizens’ quality of life. With the implementation of each new process or technology, officials must ensure that communication is in sync with internal and external stakeholders so that all involved can truly benefit. Government collaboration requires technology that allows all of these groups to communicate and share files and resources in one place. Without the proper collaboration tools, information, conversations and files remain in silos and actually add unnecessary time and admin to manage and locate information quickly. Using collaboration or digital work hub tools such as Slack, Sharepoint or Bolste, city members can join their city’s "smart" initiative and provide channels or forums where all ideas, projects, documents and data sharing can live. Cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning and IoT technologies are all part of the broader discussion for providing access to the data that cities are managing, such as crime reports, air quality, traffic, utilities, lights, meters and more.

Months later, the company’s vice president of human resources Sam Ladah posted a blog attesting that the media was incorrect and what IBM was actually doing in certain areas of the business (marketing, design, procurement and large parts of the IT department) was restructuring itself into “small, self-managed, multi-disciplinary teams working together in physical spaces”. In other words, the company’s teams would use Agile approaches not just as a methodology for developing software but as “an engine for business transformation” and has since set up six agile hubs in major cities across the US.If implemented properly, the methodology’s ‘Fail Fast, Fail Often’ philosophy encourages experimentation and innovation in an increasingly digital world.

To help facilitate collaboration, firms are using digital solutions to transform their processes and business environment. An additional benefit of collaboration is the ability to expand beyond economic and geographic borders. Through collaboration with peer organizations, partners and even customers, firms can enter new markets to increase their revenue, explore new opportunities and help sustain growth when their home market faces a downturn. According to the Ovum report, new investments in collaboration are increasingly being delivered via the cloud, which highlights the important role of cloud in delivering collaboration services. “You need to have a strategy for enabling collaboration that is responsive to the changing needs of the modern workforce,” stated Marjet Andriesse, Head of Enterprise in Asia for the telecommunications firm Telstra.

A range of tools exists to support collaboration and manage communication throughout organisations, but for all the potential value these tools offer, implementation and management are key to realizing the benefits collaboration has to offer an organisation. A collaboration management solution, for example, works within the context of your existing enterprise mobility management (EMM) or managed mobility services (MMS) platform, giving an organisation control over the ways collaboration is facilitated and managed across mobile network. As the network adopts different collaboration tools — from enterprise-focused communications apps such as Slack to collaboration suites from enterprise software providers — collaboration management will allow control of adoption apps, provision devices and efficiently manage content and activity across the organisation’s mobile network. The benefits of this management are most evident when workers are collaborating remotely. Even with the right collaboration management service in place, execution is imperative. The most effective collaboration management services should integrate easily into existing networks. The harder collaboration tools are to deploy for an enterprise, the greater the burden on IT and the greater the risk for error.

Jon Evans, principal software engineer at the product engineering firm HappyFunCorp discusses his experience building software with both all-remote and partly-remote teams over a seven year period. Evans dismisses the idea that remote work’s failure modes are worse than those of office work as an assumption based on office work’s history as the default. He lists companies like Automattic, Gitlab, InVision, and Zapier, all of which thrive as fully remote companies. Evans states that the change in modes of communication is the main issue with the transition from office to remote work-- methods of communication goes from default-synchronous (walk over to your colleague’s desk) to default-asynchronous (PM them on Slack.) While certain forms of work are better suited to synchronous communications, many forms of technological work are much better suited to asynchronous communication.

Online collaboration has evolved rapidly over the years – as have users. Successful online collaboration addresses a need or interest of the user. For example, LinkedIn provides the ability to network the user’s professional identity. There are two aspects of successful collaboration tools – putting collaboration tools immediately adjacent to actual content, and addressing a need or interest of the user – which have led to the success of scholarly collaboration networks (SCNs) like ResearchGate and Academia.edu. These SCNs recruit users and papers from publishers’ sites into a central repository, and then put collaboration and measurement tools against these papers. The recent emergence of annotations tools like Genius on certain sites also shows how layers of meaning are becoming more mainstream – a layer of primary content and a useful layer of commentary or expanded content. An inflection point for online collaboration is now being reached, with more and more services becoming decentralized, and bandwidth, browser technologies, standards, and user expectations aligning around these decentralised approaches. Users are more comfortable with collaboration overall, in the right environment.

−

:: '''Lesson 2''': Understand the collaboration tools. To apply technology and realize its full potential, one must understand the technology. There are at least two components of understanding technology: how to use it, and where or when to use.

−

:: ''~~'Lesson 3''': Listen to everyone in the collaboration network. In environments suffering from groupthink, the desire to be collegial gets in the way~~ of critical thinking. To overcome groupthink, group members have to consider the dissenters among them. [http://www.computerworld.com/article/3216107/collaboration/3-lessons-for-collaboration.html [more]]

Gartner defines insight engines as enterprise search that provides “more-natural access to information for knowledge workers and other constituents in ways that enterprise search has not.” It’s becoming evident that enterprises can benefit from question answering systems or insight engines in the workplace, particularly as emerging technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and chatbots become increasingly common in today’s workplace—the demand for NLP currently exceeds the supply. As each organisation uses its own language, acronyms, metrics and processes, each organisation requires its insight engine to understand its unique needs and context in order to answer questions or execute actions. Chatbots specifically can improve productivity by helping employees do basic tasks like reserving conference rooms, processing timesheets and submitting expenses and by providing automated responses to common user support questions. As enterprises embark upon building their own insight engines, this will fuel additional information discovery and collaboration in the workplace.

In competition with Facebook’s AI research labs, IBM’s research group were able to train ResNet-50 for 1k classes in 50 minutes across 256 GPUs (Graphic Processing Units). Computing jobs are often so big for deep learning problems that they are most efficiently handled across a large number of GPUs instead of just a single GPU. But as more GPUs are added, training time doesn’t naturally scale down—there is some cost to splitting up and recombining complex quantitative operations. What IBM is promising is the most efficient distributed deep learning library for breaking up a giant deep learning problem into hundreds of smaller deep learning problems. The company continued the work testing distributed training on ResNet-101, a much larger and more complex visual recognition model. The team says that it was able to train ResNet-101 on the ImageNet-22k data set with 256 GPUs in seven hours.

A new survey found that AI branches such as machine learning are perceived as being more useful for applications such as Internet of Things deployments where automation tools can be used to streamline business operations. The survey of over a thousand IT professionals by market research firm GlobalData found continuing “heavy reliance” on business intelligence tools, with 40 percent ranking BI (business intelligence) above all other tools for analyzing data. The research concludes, AI is likely to play a larger role on IoT deployment than data analytics. However, the survey also finds that “with the broad market trend toward the democratization of data now well-established, such BI software platforms have already given way to numerous smaller, more discrete ways of deriving value from enterprise data,” The research concludes that much of the misalignment between AI and data analytics stems from centralization, which is seen as the basis of traditional BI analysis and reporting along with predictive modeling. Other branches of AI such as deep learning may prove more broadly applicable to analytics as well as IoT. [https://www.datanami.com/2017/08/07/ai-seen-better-suited-iot-big-data/ [more]]

The form has been the dominant way that states have taken information from populations since the beginning of professional civil service. Forms require significant concentration and analysis, and often cause the applicant to feel like it’s not worth the trouble of filling it out. This is why effective form design is so important. Placing related form fields near each other makes them more engaging. Forms that are designed to maximize the amount of information collected on a sheet are bad because they work against human neurology. However, a well-designed virtual agent can improve and humanize the experience of interacting with an organization. Working with the assumption that people use government services at critical points in their lives, it’s critical to find an information collection method that is both efficient and compassionate. The agent doesn’t need to be a personified system (though it might help) but accepting small groups of related information from users might be a more pleasing way to accept information.

Recommendation engines make it easier to gain better insight into users while they’re getting better information about the organisation. Prioritizing recommendation as an organizing principle for digital design distinguishes organisations.

As companies seriously consider the role of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning in the workplace, one must consider the fundamental shift in user experience (UX) these emerging technologies propose. Research on emerging technologies reveals three main benefits to developing smart UX— the automation of tasks to increase efficiency, the ability to advise users on the best course of action to meet their objectives, and the continuous discovery of relevant, actionable information. Two concepts are particularly important in building a smart UX—how an organisation leverages technology and design to anticipate what a user needs and how much users have to go through before they get value out of their experience. Chatbots, a way of interacting with enterprise systems via text-based messages, are one way to make simple transactions even easier and more accessible.

Facebook was forced to terminate their AI bots after they invented their own language. Researchers at Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research built a chatbot earlier this year that was meant to learn how to negotiate by mimicking human trading and bartering. However, when the social network paired two of the programs (nicknamed Alice and Bob) to trade against each other, their conversation "led to divergence from human language as the agents developed their own language for negotiating," the researchers said. Since Facebook's team assigned no reward for conducting the trades in English, the chatbots quickly developed their own terms for deals.

Data science can help enterprises fail fast—a philosophy incremental development and extensive customer testing to determine whether an opportunity or idea has value. Data scientists can map the statistical significance of key problems, and visualize and translate data quickly. The resulting data analysis may suggest drastic changes to the business that could drive very different infrastructure investments, so to understand data and fail fast, data science and data scientists are critical.

A change in workplace culture is necessary for agile development to succeed; there’s a disconnect between development teams and the organizations they serve. Dockery states that “companies haven’t created an environment of alignment, autonomy and trust.” Alignment ensures that the teams build what matters most to the business. Once the business and development teams are aligned, the development teams have the autonomy to decide the best way to build the product. The best way to bridge the gap between the business and its development teams is to decompose initiatives into smaller parts so teams can adapt to changing priorities. Metrics should drive continuous improvement. [http://sdtimes.com/agile-cant-succeed-island/ [more]]

Dans cette transition vers une économie collaborative et numérique, la planification et la gestion des actifs des entreprises vont s'appuyer de façon croissante sur des "points de données" numériques, sortes de marqueurs contextuels permettant de prendre des décisions, souvent en temps réel, adaptées à tous les types de situations. Par exemple, les candidats apposent leurs "twitter handle" ou profils LinkedIn sur leurs CV, facilitant ainsi la tâche des responsables de ressources humaines devenus conscients de l'importance d'appréhender les personnalités dans leur ensemble. Qu'il s'agisse de nouveaux candidats ou personnels expérimentés, les systèmes de gestion des ressources des entreprises doivent aujourd'hui plus que jamais s'ouvrir pour proposer une lecture transversale des données et ainsi, multiplier les chances de remettre dans la mécanique du business l'huile dont elle a besoin pour poursuivre sur la voie de la performance. La transformation numérique n'a peut-être finalement qu'un seul but : la contextualisation des données et l'augmentation des interactions, de la collaboration, entre toutes les parties prenantes de l'entreprise, internes et externes.

Software solutions company Unify’s VP Circuit marketing and CEO of blueKiwi software Philipp Bonn believes much of the fundamental architecture and infrastructure for the immediate future of business communications is now in place. Bonn states that demand from end users, not new technologies, will drive adoption as new work models create a need for collaboration and cloud communications. According to Bonn, Unify is focused on innovating as much in how it packages and delivers its products to market as on technology as focusing on the needs of end users is key to the continued relevance of their technology. “New collaboration tools provide a new mix of capabilities and new interfaces, so to ensure adoption enterprises need to train their users and provide some change management before, during and after the deployment process,” states Bonn.

−

~~'''July 26, 2017 – CMSWiRE''' ~~

−

Enterprise collaboration is not a singular behaviour; innovation consulting firm Innosis has identified two distinct modes of collaboration— passive and active collaboration— that should be used in tandem. Passive collaboration refers to pulling in knowledge from a network when it is needed. It is an individual-focused and task-centric approach. Active collaboration is driven by vision as opposed to task, and involves sharing knowledge across networks and platforms. Whereas as the scope of passive collaboration is too narrow, passive and active collaboration together can create an environment where there are many opportunities to move and build knowledge organically. Once entrepreneurs recognize these two modes, formulating an overall collaboration strategy becomes less intimidating.

As shared workplaces, high levels of mobility and remote workers become increasingly integral to cross-enterprise collaboration, the ability to offer a fully searchable archive of messages and files becomes critical for businesses. Yet often, legacy enterprise communications solutions lack the flexibility to adapt to new business goals and technologies. A digitally collaborative future is possible however, using communications platforms where open APIs take that essential next step to expand capabilities. Open-architecture platforms make it easier to integrate new business processes and technology into collaboration tools. CPaaS APIs also enable developers to extend connections to standalone infrastructures, providing a simple and secure way to bring communication and collaboration capabilities to systems and processes both inside and outside the company borders.

One of the main issues in regards to digital transformation is that leadership often underestimates the importance of nurturing a strong culture before implementing these vast changes in the workplace. Without laying a strong foundational culture and aligning employee vision, getting staff on board and making concrete progress can prove extremely challenging. More often than not, there is a disparity between leadership’s digital vision and their employees’. As with any new project, there are simple steps you can take to approach transformation in a practical way. Consider the following:

−

~~: 1. Empower your employees to drive a digital culture~~

~~: 2. Focus on behaviours instead of successes and failures with digital KPIs~~

Collaboration in organizations is based on the idea that they would work more efficiently if they are able to use all knowledge embedded within them. However, interorganizational collaboration within the government has not gotten off the ground completely. Research has shown over the years that a misalignment of incentives makes people hesitant to share knowledge proactively. Despite these challenges, open collaboration platforms have been very successful across the government. In particular, the GCTools are “shining examples of the power of open collaboration”. Article author Justin Longo writes that the best collaboration systems provide “accountable anonymity”—contributions which are anonymous at the point of entry with long term accountability as to ensure the reward of good ideas and responsible speech. Longo argues that software project hosting service GitHub has a model of accountable anonymity that government digital services should emulate.

With Java DevOps specifically, continuous delivery demands software architecture discipline to be fully effective. To make continuous delivery and Java DevOps work, one has to be able to atomize feature development so that incremental improvements in software can be generated quickly and then integrated into a form that can be released. Vendors like IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle all offer a complete continuous integration and delivery solution, but even with these tools, it’s still essential to keep the progression from development to delivery in mind.

As a result of digital transformation, everything from productivity and efficiency, to security and compliance is changing, and IT teams must take on more responsibilities – this can often lead to collaboration tool overload. According to a survey conducted by Frost & Sullivan, 80% of respondents admitted using non-approved and non-secure SaaS solutions in the workplace. In order to avoid the problems associated with collaboration tool overload, the article recommends staying informed about new technologies, recognize and prioritise employee needs, and centre integration in one’s organisational strategy.

Google today unveiled a new G Suite security feature to improve data access controls and enhance phishing prevention: OAuth apps whitelisting – a feature designed to help organisations control how third-party applications are using enterprise user data. OAuth apps whitelisting is likely a response to the widespread “Google Docs” phishing email that affected many Google users in May. “This is just another example of the innovations we are bringing to the table to ensure our customers’ data is secure and protected and can combat new threats as they arise,” a Google spokesperson told Venture Beat. The feature provides administrators with fine-grained visibility into the third-party apps that are accessing G Suite data and access to only trusted and vetted third-party OAuth apps.

Trends shaping the future of social media are expected to drastically affect other elements in the digital world. Today, social media is fast becoming an integral part of the work environment, thanks to several emerging tools such as Slack. These tools are taking this same connectedness and using it to provide a productive workplace. Niche platforms exist in various forms and are increasingly used as they allow for laser-focused targeting and are continually diversifying. While targeting tools are available on virtually all social media platforms, social networks specifically geared to particular professional communities benefit organisations by offering highly specialised information that is specifically targeted towards them.

The wildfire-rate adoption of cloud-based communications and collaboration platforms like WhatsApp, Slack, Snapchat has led to a lack of regulation of cloud-based platforms. Businesses seeking control of and visibility into these solutions for security and compliance purposes have tried to restrict the use of these tools, but those measures quickly become self-defeating, undermining the ability of IT teams to drive technology strategy. To avoid the traps and enjoy t cloudification, organisations must guard against the lack of open standards, digital solutions that don’t properly take into account mobile devices, and cloud systems that don’t properly consider the organisation or user’s needs. The ideal cloud solution must fully embrace the collaborative instincts of human communication. [http://www.nojitter.com/post/240172753/cast-your-cloud-communications-vote-wisely [more]]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) firm Bonsai announced a new feature that’s aimed at helping data scientists run machine learning models created outside its platform. Called Gears, the system is supposed to take independently developed models and bring them onto Bonsai’s platform for easier execution and monitoring. When users upload a model that includes a Gear to Bonsai’s platform, the system will analyze the network specified by TensorFlow or another language and integrate it into the rest of the system that Bonsai creates and executes. Bonsai allows developers to lay out what they want to teach a machine learning system using a language called Inkling. Users upload that code, along with training data and other assets, to Bonsai, which then generates a machine learning system to solve the problem laid out in the Inkling code. “It really is a mechanism to enable those teams to make use of their existing investments, put it all under one platform for ease of management and building more sophisticated solutions,” said Bonsai CEO Mark Hammond.

−

~~'''June 26, 2017 — IT Pro''' ~~

−

~~This article assembles a list of dos and don’t for work place collaboration.~~

−

'''Do contribute as much as possible''': collaboration’s substantial flattening of traditional management only works if everyone contributes as much as possible. Otherwise, the team or project’s overall direction still ends up being dominated by a small group of individuals.

−

'''Do be open to new ways of working''': It can be tempting to stop after you’ve set up tools like Slack and Google Docs, but you should ensure that you’re always on the lookout for new ways to help you communicate better as a business. This can be a large, IT-led change, or it can be as simple as cutting back on the number of large meetings you have in favour of smaller, more regular stand-ups.

−

'''Don’t default back to old processes''': The longer you leave it to learn how to use new collaboration tools, the harder it will be when you do eventually need to. This can sometimes lead to skill gaps within the workplace, as digital natives adapt quickly to new technologies, while less confident staff put it off - one reason why strong onboarding programs are so important.

−

'''Don’t rely exclusively on technology’''': Building the right culture is a hugely important and often-overlooked part of enterprise collaboration, and most of it involves no technology at all. Instead, it’s focused around fostering an atmosphere of openness and communication within the organisation, ensuring not employees have not just the means to collaborate, but also the desire.

~~DevOps is a philosophy that marries the concept of agile development with the idea that there should be a highly emphasized partnership between the developers and the operations staff.~~

−

DevOps benefits developers in a few ways. When their code goes live in production, they see exactly how errors and bugs affect their code and are able to fix them faster with a better root-cause analysis. Developers can understand how runtime environments affect their coding and adjust it for better performance and fault tolerance. DevOps-based tools include configuration and release management, orchestration, and virtualization.

~~'''June 28, 2017 — Computer World''' ~~

−

Collaboration, collaborators and the technologies they choose to use are the key drivers of modern enterprise success. Organizational success depends on effective collaboration — both internal and external to the enterprise — and yet collaboration is, in most instances, unmeasured and unmanaged. As critically important as collaboration is to success in this increasingly digitized world, it is essentially invisible. Nowhere on an enterprise’s systematically produced documents (e.g., the balance sheet or a 10K) is collaboration measured. University of California Los Angeles’ Karen Stephenson is credited with creating the field of social network analysis (the ability to map which humans are collaborating with which other humans with an eye toward achieving certain objectives). Stephenson has used the techniques of social network analysis to optimize the placement of physical offices following mergers, to analyze the composition of product development teams, and to make visible the series of collaborations that underpin networks. An organization’s capacity to collaborate is a reasonable proxy for the levels of trust it inspires — how much employees trust the enterprise, how much the enterprise trusts employees and how much employees trust one another— this metric in turn impacts the organisation’s performance.

FD.io (Fast Data – input/output) is an open source project made up of various open source libraries all with the goal of accelerating data efficiency in networking. FD.io focuses on ensuring open source networking deployments have the highest throughput, lowest latency and most efficient IO services. Mano is meant to be an open source software project for management and orchestration of software-defined networks and network function virtualization. It focuses on core areas such as supporting multi-site deployments, onboarding of NFVs, and virtual network funcntions packaging.The Open Networking Automation Platform, or ONAP, is the combination of ECOMP, which was donated by AT&T, and the Open-O Orchestration platform. ONAP is primarily targeted at providing an open source automation and orchestration platform for service providers, particularly telecommunication vendors, to run SDNs and offer virtual network functions. The Stanford developed OpenFlow has communications standards which dictate how the control plane can communicate with the forwarding data plane in SDN environments. While OpenFlow itself is not an open source project, the standards developed by OpenFlow and its organizer the Open Networking Foundation are some of the most important standards in the SDN market.

The traditional office practices are generally phased out when a business is transformed digitally and siloes give way to a more collaborative way of working. To make digital transformation a success, collaboration is necessary. Possibly the biggest contributor to the success of digital transformation projects is collaboration between not just those who work for an organisation, but also partner firms and other third parties. According to a survey by electronics manufacturer Sharp, almost half of respondents (46%) said their colleagues had at some point forgotten to share important information or documents with them. “If your business isn’t set-up to promote teamwork and the sharing of information, you will be losing opportunities to grow,” says Sharp CEO Stuart Sykes. Greater collaboration is needed to access the information required in digital transformation projects. For many organisations, data still exists in siloes and proprietary technologies can still limit how it's shared within an organisation. Digital transformation can help by creating standardised platforms to share data seamlessly and increase collaboration.

La quatrième révolution industrielle révolutionne de plein fouet les entreprises. Les entreprises espèrent ainsi optimiser leur productivité et leur chiffre d’affaires, sans savoir nécessairement comment apprivoiser ces évolutions. Avant d’investir des sommes conséquentes dans la digitalisation, l’entreprise doit s’assurer qu’elle lui apportera de véritables bénéfices commerciaux. Pour implémenter correctement le concept d’industrie 4.0 dans une entreprise, il faut analyser les besoins actuels, revoir les analyses antérieures, et déterminer étape par étape les domaines à fort potentiel d’amélioration. Le frein majeur à l’implantation d’une nouvelle technologie réside dans le manque de formation des intervenants, notamment à l’industrie 4.0, qui transforme un modèle d’affaires déjà établi sur d’autres bases. Pour savoir si une entreprise doit se lancer dans l’industrie 4.0, la première étape consiste à procéder à une évaluation.

: '''2. Enablement''': enablement in a digital sense can involve micro-learning, in which digital technologies are used to deliver the user the necessary, at the time they need it, through their preferred channel. The digital workplace is focused on delivering smaller bits of knowledge as required.

Facebook and Twitter users tired of vague and controversial company policies are pushing for change. A group of Twitter users and investors who believe the company would be better off as a user-owned cooperative made progress last month when the #BuyTwitter push gained enough attention and support among shareholders to resubmit its proposal at next year’s investor meeting. Twitter’s refusal to listen to the requests of its users, its nonexistent relationship with third-party developers is what lead Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko to develop his own user-owned open source social network. Instead of one social network, Mastodon runs on what is known as a “federated network,” a disjointed group of different networks that can talk to each other and transmit information seamlessly. Users on Mastodon can join instances, servers owned and run by Mastodon users, or start their own.

With Facebook’s global user base, its features that work only in English neglect a large percentage of their users. For example, Facebook Messenger’s AI assistant “M” can now make recommendations of Messenger features in Spanish if it detects that the user writes in Spanish. The feature scans the words and intent of messages, then offers optional suggestions from Messenger’s many features. M Suggestions are now available to all Facebook users with their language set to Spanish in the US, and the feature will soon be introduced in Mexico.

Rainforest QA (quality assurance) launched a new service that aims to use machine learning and crowdsourcing to help developers make better apps. The company uses machine learning in addition to human testers to augment the employees’ efforts, as they believe humans and machines are often best when augmenting one another’s capabilities. One Rainforest QA system is used to determine how well testers perform based on their speed, accuracy and consistency. The company then uses that information to programmatically determine the difficulty of tasks testers should be assigned.

Open source development is now being widely discussed and practiced. Brendan Kay, chief technology officer (CTO) at Fresche Solutions states that there’s been an increase in open source technologies in the development of Fresche products, particularly AngularJS, which allows Fresche to create continuous integration environments through data-binding. Data-binding is an automatic way of updating the view whenever the model changes, as well as updating the model whenever the view changes. Kay looks at modernization as a three-level project involving the database, the business logic and the user experience. All three are equally important. Fresche’s development tools are used for creating multi-platform, Web and mobile applications on IBM i, integrates with RPG and supports Windows, Unix and Linux platforms. Making an educated guess, Kay estimates 80 percent of modernization projects begin with user experience and/or integration as the starting point. Changes in the interface or in improved integration allow people to quickly see the benefit. [https://www.itjungle.com/2017/06/12/cto-praises-open-source-offers-modernization-guidance/ [more]]

Yaron Haviv, the CTO and founder of iguaz.io, explains why the open source community needs to work towards collaboration and standardization. While open-source is a key ingredient, the public cloud is proving that usability and integration are more important to most users than access to an endless variety of disjointed open source projects. Collaboration, standardization and full stack integration must be prioritized over hundreds of overlapping open source projects. The focus use to be on creating modular architectures; there were always open source implementations of the standard, but developers also built commercial variations to extend functionality or durability. Today, we see a wide range of overlapping implementations where projects are not interchangeable, causing a much worse lock-in than commercial products which conform to a common standard. Prioritizing collaboration and standardization is the only way to get back to a decent user experience, says Haviv, one in which we can easily build, secure and operate integrated stacks from independent components, with the ability to swap parts if need be and without getting locked into project-specific or cloud provider APIs.

Collaborative tools can be a barrier to success if they are not optimized for the right things. Few solutions are in sync with the way people create, or the way teams collaborate. Software Engineer and Tech Lead for Dropbox Paper Justin Hileman claims that most of the attempts of innovation of collaborative tools simply translate this technology to the next medium, to the web, to mobile devices. Hileman suggests instead that programmers begin with ideas as opposed to the format or presentation, stating that implementing design conventions from the outset can constrain development. Collaborative tool developers should focus how their ideas and content is organized as opposed to how they look.

Three of the most common workflow products, IFTTT, Microsoft Flow and Zapier, create information flows by connecting the unstructured information found in common cloud services in one unified interface. Most cloud services work better when they work collaboratively, and automated workflows greatly simplify the process tying together multiple applications. These workflow services enable that form of sharing by making it easy to push information out to several applications at once, allowing people to consume information using vastly different applications. Two technologies have made these services possible: Public cloud computing, which makes software more accessible to other software, and APIs.

Digital organisation is guided by how the organizers think—it’s about “applying the culture, practices, processes & technologies of the Internet-era to respond to people’s raised expectations”. “Digital” doesn’t just refer to organisations that deliver primarily digital products and services: a digital organisation is one that can operate effectively in this digital age. Digital organisations are able to both understand and respond to people’s rapidly changing needs, habits and expectations. The whole leadership team of an organisation needs to take responsibility for making changes to the organisation’s structure, culture and working practices. To be fully responsive, the entire staff needs to work in an open way, both collectively and as individuals. To ensure a digital organisation’s success and efficiency, one must understand the technological environment that it operates in, place users at the heart of the organisation, ensure open and experimental leadership and a skilled, empowered workforce, and maintain technology, data and processes that serve the organisation’s goals.

Skellon insists the necessity of a consistent onboarding process for maximizing efficient use of collaborative tools. He also suggests analysis to ensure whether the right collaboration tools are used for the correct purpose. The amount of external applications used by employees is another indicator of the software’s efficiency. Skellon also suggests keeping track of IT requests, taking into account users outside of the organisation, and implementing a unified communications strategy.

At a strategic level, the digitisation of government requires organisational changes, restructuring, new collaborative tools and workspaces and more opportunities for brainstorming and interdepartmental co-ordination. DevOps is the close integration of software development and IT operations, potentially quality assurance as well, to create an environment of fast, agile and responsive software development. In government, progress towards DevOps has generally been more cautious than in the private sector, despite there being many benefits for the public sector. Government organisations are facing the same IT challenges as the private sector, albeit on a larger scale, so government is becoming more conscious of the need to respond to their citizens’ digital lifestyles. Asif Javed, managing director and technology lead for Accenture Middle East and North Africa explained that government organisations should embrace multi-speed delivery models that can accommodate both the rapid delivery of customer facing applications and the more traditional software development lifecycle targeted at sensitive applications.

A Tel Aviv-based startup called Workey uses artificial intelligence to streamline the hiring process by matching companies with potential candidates. Workey targets people who are interested in potential opportunities, but don’t want to publicize this interest. Once they sign up for the site, they create an anonymous profile that is used to find positions that their background and skills qualify them for.

Heil discusses the use of bots as collaboration tools as opposed to their solitary use— bots can be used to reduce the amount of email and phone calls a user receives because they facilitate communication when integrated into applications. Heil also promotes bots ease of use, saying a user wouldn’t even necessarily need coding skills to integrate a bot into their platform. He argues that if a user uses the correct framework, it would not be necessary to rewrite code to use a bot across multiple platforms. Heil claims that bots make human labour more effective. For example, community managers of social networks would have more time for advanced questions, user guidance and complex discussions if a bot were to answer the basic questions.

Industry leaders like Facebook, Twitter, and IBM are making great efforts to incorporate bots into their programs to enable more personalized customer interactions. Enterprise uses for bots touch on communication, customer service, and ecommerce. The increasingly high amounts of data generated by these digital enterprises raises the question of how organisations can use bots to automate new data sets and provide faster access to analytics. Human to machine interaction via natural language processing can allow immediate analytics responses, the ability for users to instantly interact with data via a bot interface and automated data collection—all of which can add significant value in a short period. However, bots are not infallible as they are subject to human bias during development. [https://venturebeat.com/2017/05/29/how-data-analytics-will-help-us-understand-chatbots/ [more]]

Machine Learning (ML) offers significant benefits as a component of cognitive online search capabilities as it can provide employees with valuable insights from massive amounts of structured and unstructured data. For example, Google uses ML to refine results based on user behaviour. While machine learning is not appropriate in every scenario, there are two general areas where ML for cognitive search can boost organizational efficiency. First, machine learning for cognitive search is useful where tasks cannot be solved using simple rule-based solutions as too many factors may influence the outcome. Additionally, machine learning for cognitive search is also appropriate in situations where scale is needed, as it is an effective method for handling large-scale problems concerning millions of documents. Key criteria for success in machine learning include diversity of the training set, the quality of the target data set, and effective solutions.

A recent report from the Community Roundtable suggests that the processes of building and managing communities has matured to the point of standardization. The report notes the widening gap between best-in-class players and others— the best-in-class actors know with certainty how to build functional community programs. Community Roundtable founder Rachel Happe cites the H&R Block customer community as an example of a best-in-class community. Best-in-class communities focus on value metrics (desired behaviours from community members that create strategic value for the organization, such as ease of access to user-generated content) over vanity metrics (such as volume). Successful communities recognize the importance of increasing community return on investment (ROI) and are able to measure it to demonstrate value and drive investment. Happe emphasized that to sustain, mature and grow communities, ongoing investment must be made budget, resources, people, and training.

Cisco recently acquired AI start-up MindMeld, a platform for building “human-like” conversational interfaces for voice, messaging, and video in applications and devices, which they believe to be imperative to the success of their Cognitive Collaboration group. The company will leverage the technology to make teams more efficient and successful by advancing Spark, its team collaboration platform, specifically in the area of ambient listening — for example, using Cisco Spark to summarize messages and identify items which require immediate attention.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) for the purpose of data analysis, many have speculated that AI might soon replace human analysts. Author David Crawford, director of software engineering at Alation, a data catalog company, argues that AI will not be able to completely fill the role of data analysts as the human perspective on data analysis is an irreplaceable asset. AI algorithms have become much better at pattern recognition and therefore act more biologically, meaning they make decisions based on experience as opposed to pure logic. However, AI can only do what humans can described to it in code— it can only function in a closed environment, whereas human analysts are aware of the exterior context that will influence their analysis. Crawford concludes: “While machine learning is instrumental in making the analysis process more efficient, algorithms cannot choose the human goals — that job requires a level of empathy that is out of the grasp of AI,” and therefore there will continually be a need for human data analysts regardless of AI development.

~~'''May 23, 2017 – CMSWiRE''' ~~

−

The California-based firm Aragon Research released a report saying that the overwhelming amount of content and collaboration applications interferes with workplace productivity. Aragon researchers suggest organizations turn instead to digital work hubs—“a single interface through which employees can create, curate, and communicate business content.” The report argues that these hubs embrace how knowledge workers want to communicate and work, and commit to mobile collaboration capabilities. Digital work hubs address what Aragon refers to as the “isolated-app problem”, where workers are made to switch rapidly between apps in order to perform related tasks. The report classifies four capabilities of an effective digital work hub: it must facilitate the creation and sharing of different forms of content, it must allow for content curation and management, it must provide channels of communication to facilitate collaboration, and it must permit for all tasks to be managed in the same environment to ensure consistency.

~~'''May 23, 2017 – Tech Republic''' ~~

−

IBM, once thought to be a leader in allowing employees to work remotely, is now requiring many of their remote workers to return to in-office work or face losing their jobs. IBM’s rationale is to encourage collaboration, although there has been outside speculation that the decision was intended to reduce the company’s operating costs. Additionally, there is concern that IBM has not addressed the emotional impact that such a significant policy change will have on their employees who work remotely. Analyst David Johnson says although task-driven workers are more efficient while working in office, creative employees are more productive working at home or in a secondary location. "To be most productive, knowledge workers need the flexibility to choose what works best for the kind of work they need to get done," Johnson said.

Some of the key issues hampering the enterprise collaboration space include the lack of features available to community managers. “Collaboration solutions need better community management tools. I should be able to pull up data that’s CRM-level sophisticated [in order to see user data, evaluate progress and ascertain engagement levels]. There should also be more ways for community managers to automate certain tasks and messages. But instead, they’re left to do all the heavy lifting.” Happe continued by lamenting the lack of adequate analytical tools found in social software, which once again impacts the performance of community managers. “Because [the built in] analytics tools are so poor, community managers can’t make the smart calls, and then they have to report back to their demanding executives.” [[http://www.cmswire.com/digital-workplace/enterprise-collaboration-platforms-and-the-elephants-in-the-room/ more]]

Businesses need to remain aware that while an evolution in digitalisation can offer greater opportunities, so too can it bring greater risk to their most sensitive information. For example, an organisation’s employees, partners and wider stakeholders would find it virtually impossible to securely share digitised data if it’s being stored and processed on outmoded Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems (a strong majority of companies still use traditional file folder arrangements to organise and share content). Another example is many of the information-sharing systems currently in use do not communicate effectively, which can lead to unnecessary infrastructure management and associated costs. The recent rise in the adoption of cloud computing has led to this problem becoming more apparent although, by the very nature of its use, it has also offered a potential solution.

While it’s fair to suggest that some companies are making the move to the cloud simply because most other companies are doing, it’s also important to note that Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) is becoming crucial for digital transformation. Millennials are overtaking the workplace, and constant communication has become a foundation of business collaboration. Messaging needs to blend with other collaboration tools to support teamwork that’s mobile and flexible. That means that chat, video, and voice need to work perfectly to allow people to interact. If you want to boost the long-term benefits of your digital solutions, then you need to keep User Experience (UX) at the centre of your ambitions, and communication needs to stay streamlined.

Ideally, the development of enterprise collaboration tools should be used on a holistic level by organisations to create stronger businesses. It’s important for enterprise-level groups to realise that digital transformation isn’t just defined by what customers experience, but also by the re-imagining of internal processes, where businesses adapt their cultures and structures to match changes in customer behaviour. It’s about transforming with a purpose. Technology is an enabler in the new world of digital transformation – not necessarily the answer to everything.

Connected digital technology is enabling the development of new patterns of collaboration in the enterprise. Some of these new ways of working have arisen because cloud and mobile technologies allow us to connect and collaborate even when we’re out of the office. But others apply even to teams that spend pretty much all their time sitting at the same desktop day after day. The traditional approach treats collaboration as an optional add-on to the core process. The DevOps approach — which embodies the agile, iterative, cross-functional, atomic structures that are likely to spread throughout the digital enterprise — treats collaboration as a fundamental element.

Users of the authoring tools can access and track progress of the course, communicate, give feedback, implement revisions, and seamlessly review their peers’ contribution, their course’s progress and evolution from a central point, whether team members physically work together as a team or work remotely. Some key benefits:

−

~~1. Flexibility~~

−

~~2. Ease of Access~~

−

~~3. Safer Storage~~

−

~~4. Cost Effective~~

Collaboration tools -- including Microsoft's SharePoint and Cisco's Quad -- were big talking points about five years ago. There was a lot of talk about helping employees collaborate. Then interest fell off. Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, said business and IT managers simply didn't know what they wanted and many pushed the entire issue to the back burner, letting workers focus on instant messaging tools, like Slack.

*Secondly, if you try to implement too many different collaboration tools you can get to the point where you’re losing productivity. Constant chatter can add to the “noise” and be distracting

Generally speaking, a platform is anywhere software is executed (like an operating system or browser). Basically an application “runs on” a stack, and a stack “runs on” a platform. The stack provides everything for the application to run, while the platform provides the environment for the stack. This has worked well for many years, but with the recent improvements to virtualization and containerization with things like Docker, we have the ability to again change the status quo… [https://hackernoon.com/why-platforms-are-the-new-stacks-4f71c11e86dd read more]

Forward-thinking companies recognize the importance of targeting Generation Y workers to recruit the best talent and create the business leaders of tomorrow. These digital-savvy workers want to have workplaces that support the way they want to work. Some new office designs follow the ‘Corporate Campus’ route, similar to Google’s new place in London, with spaces tailored to prioritizing workers’ desire for flexibility and changing needs. But Google’s approach will not work for all organizations. There is no one size fits all approach to maximizing your workspace, it really depends on your organization, its priorities and its goals… [http://www.orange-business.com/en/blogs/connecting-technology/collaboration/putting-collaboration-at-the-center-of-workplace-design read more]

As a project engineer for Skanska USA in 2012, Kyle Hughes sought to promote awareness and adoption of project-level PDF standards through partnerships with other industry organizations, after having experienced first-hand the benefits of managing a “paperless jobsite.” Traditional document control duties often took him an entire Saturday to “slip-sheet” the current paper sets of full-size drawings. But after discovering the batch tool workflows that PDF-based document management system Bluebeam Revu had recently released, Hughes found he could automate both the slip-sheet and detail hyperlinking process with a single, click of a mouse. Yet, it was while sharing his newfound PDF drawing management process with other project teams inside Skanska, that Hughes found that not all PDF drawing sets behaved the same way. Frustrated and confused, Hughes reached out to Sasha Reed, then director of account services at Bluebeam, to look for a solution… [http://www.enr.com/articles/41688-grassroots-coalition-seeks-to-improve-digital-collaboration-starting-with-pdf-drawings#.WMsMs0a34Qg.twitter read more]
