This summer heat has me thinking of all the unprecedented heat waves, fires in the West, and massive flooding in Yellow Stone National Park, sparking more environmental discussions. I wonder what major disaster organizations have to encounter to begin thinking of Data Governance. Usually it takes some major new product introduction, an inspection gone awry, a digital transformation initiative, new people coming in to the organization trying to figure out the data definitions and data owners. No matter what the reason, Data Governance is a cornerstone that needs to have a solid foundation! This is a topic that I am passionate about and over the years I have built up a library of resources. Here are some excellent Data Governance reference materials I would like to share with you: Do you have other reference material you would recommend, or any questions on Data Governance? Please let me know your thoughts on this topic by

Atos announces the winners of its international student competition, the Atos IT Challenge. The 3 winning teams were presented with their awards this afternoon during a Ceremony which took place virtually, with the Atos Scientific Community at Atos’ headquarters in Bezons and with the finalists online. Now in its eleventh year, the competition received over 100 entries from teams from 19 countries around the world compete on the theme “To the Moon… to Mars… and to the stars”. The goal of this year’s challenge was to explore how data can be used from space within digital data driven ecosystems in order to advance humanity’s progress, both in space and on Earth. They were encouraged to develop space-related applications, with a particular emphasis on (though not restricted to) the Atos Mundi platform which hosts Copernicus Earth satellite imagery. From the 19 shortlisted teams which were selected to develop their applications under the supervision of Atos Scientific Community coaches, 13

Performance Performance is key not only when you have millions of nodes but also when you just get started. We were already very happy with the performances. If you have the correct hardware Ganister will be the most performant graph-based low-code platform on the market. But still, we look at the metrics, we measured the milliseconds that annoyed us and came up with some cache mechanisms to improve Ganister's performance and user experience. Cache A cache is the capability to save some data in a place that is very fast to access usually without having to fetch data from the database. The tradeoff is that if you cache once and only read from it, any change will not be visible. The whole strategy lies in when you need to update this cache. On a blog engine, once a blog post is published, it is pretty easy to handle, as long as you don't

IBM announced a new 33-month work order under its contract with the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) to provide security services designed to enhance the Department of Defense’s (DoD) microelectronics supply chain for critical mission platforms. As part of the Trusted Foundry Access II program, IBM Consulting will continue to establish secured microelectronics manufacturing flows at commercial state-of-the-art fabrication facilities. In a time when global supply chains have become increasingly fragile and the U.S. is facing diminished secure microelectronics supply, IBM Consulting’s work can help DMEA increase domestic capacity of advanced, secured, and trusted semiconductors for key military and national security programs. The DMEA Trusted Access Program Office (TAPO) has administered the Trusted Foundry Program since 2003 and is responsible for sourcing cost effective and trusted access to critical microelectronics for the U.S. government. In 2015 this mission was transferred from the National Security Agency to the DoD’s DMEA. “Supply chain challenges for secure microelectronics are

With so many stakeholders and countless moving parts, construction lending is an inherently risky business. In fact, construction lending is perceived to be so risky that some lenders choose to avoid construction loans altogether. Construction risk mitigation frameworks were created in a world without the internet, and “best practices” have long been defined by manual processes, duplicative data input, and lack of transparency. When performed manually, basic risk mitigation tasks, like managing contractor acceptance criteria or monitoring for involuntary liens, can put a serious burden on loan administration teams–pulling them away from other duties and adding unnecessary stress. In addition, if contractor or lien issues aren’t identified quickly, they can result in costly delays and friction between the lender, the borrower, and the builder. Fortunately, construction finance is evolving. With the right digital solution, lenders can grow their construction business without exposing their overall loan portfolio to unnecessary risk or burdening their staff with increased

IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, announced the launch of IFS assyst 11.5. With new automated cloud discoverability functionality, the release will help organizations better manage their Configuration Management Databases (CMDBs), giving them a comprehensive view of all technology in use across the enterprise and full control of their IT infrastructure.  As organizations become more reliant on the cloud, IT environments are growing in complexity, making it difficult for teams to track all technology deployed within the enterprise. This can lead to outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate data being held in CMDBs, creating a number of key challenges for the wider business, including wasted IT budgets, silos, poor user experiences, as well as compliance and security issues.  “With the new 11.5 release, we are directly addressing the obstacles organizations face when it comes to managing CMDBs in complex environments,” said Martin Schirmer, President, Enterprise Service Management, IFS assyst. “By providing enterprises with
