More than ever, we rely on virtual technologies to get the job done.

New technologies enable us to share documents, give demonstrations and conduct training for audiences who may be located across the country and even around the world.

While this technology has allowed us to collaborate without the hassle of traveling, virtual delivery and design definitely has its challenges.

There is an art to designing and delivering engaging and charismatic presentations and virtual learning that won’t put your audience to sleep.

In this webinar Vicki Wrona (LinkedIn profile) will highlight the challenges of virtual design and delivery and give you ways to overcome those challenges.

Test automation, continuous integration (CI), and reliable test data provisioning are all key elements to making DevOps work, as they provide the necessary capabilities to quickly and securely test and release software.

Without these technologies, the DevOps promise of rapidly deploying new services and applications is only a dream.

Effectively managing test data reduces risk when implementing CI and DevOps, along with accelerating release cycles, improving quality, and cutting costs.

You’ll learn:

• How self-service test data powers DevOps and CI implementations
• How organizations have saved millions and slashed development cycles
• Common oversights when employing automation and DevOps
• How to release applications faster with confidence through improved collaboration, automation, and visibility

Join this web seminar to learn how to execute an integrated test data management approach that will deliver seamless automation, efficiency, and security to your DevOps and continuous integration efforts.

Metadata is essential for managing, migrating, accessing, and deploying a big data solution.

Without it, enterprises have limited visibility into the data itself and cannot trust in its quality—negating the value of data in the first place.

Creating end-to-end data visibility allows you to keep track of data, enable search and query across big data systems, safeguards your data, and reduces risk.

In this O’Reilly webcast, Ben Sharma, (LinkedIn profile, O’Reilly bio) cofounder and CEO of Zaloni and Vikram Sreekanti, (LinkedIn profile, O’Reilly bio) software engineer in the AMPLab at UC Berkeley; discuss the value of collecting and analyzing metadata, and its potential to impact your big data solution and your business.

Learn how access to your data’s lineage allows you to know where data has come from, where it is, and how it is being used.

They will also take a deep dive into a new open-source project under development at U.C. Berkeley — Ground.

Ground is a data context system that enables users to uncover what data they have, where the data is flowing to and from, who is using the data, and when and how it changes.

Key topics will include:

• The role of metadata in data analysis
• Key considerations for managing metadata
• How to establish data lineage and provenance, in order to create a repeatable process
• How Ground is making an impact on a wide range of data tasks, including data inventory, usage tracking, model-specific interpretation, reproducibility, interoperability, and collective governance.
• Initial work on Ground, and how this data context system is making an impact on a wide range of data tasks, including: data inventory, usage tracking, model-specific interpretation, reproducibility, interoperability, and collective governance.

 Explore how data context stretches the bounds of what we have traditionally considered “metadata”.
