In today’s world of IoT, automation and integration are the mantras everyone is chanting.

In any given scenario, it is very likely that the users are using multiple products to achieve their productivity needs.

In that context, the only way to achieve efficiency is to be able to integrate and automate between all these tools. However, the integration cannot be so complex that it needs special expertise. It needs to be quick and easy.

The same applies to the world of Project Management.

There are many tools on a day to day basis that a project manager needs to work with as part of their job. What if we could connect all of them and provide a single interface for the Project Manager to work with?

Enter Microsoft Flow and Power Apps…

Flow connects to  Microsoft products like Office 365 and OneDrive; third-party platforms such as Twitter, Dropbox, MailChimp, Google Drive, Slack and Trello; and developer-focused options like Github and SQL.

Meanwhile, Power Apps helps regular users develop apps quickly that can be used to perform tasks of choice.

This session will explore how to use both of these tools together to enable efficiency in Project Management Processes.

Adopting Agile is a process that requires transparency, inspection, and adaptation.

IFPUG function points are a powerful, yet easy means to generate the quantitative feedback needed to empower teams to use an empirical process effectively.

This webinar will provide attendees with an approach to learn from and improve on past mistakes based on quantitative feedback, while providing management with increased visibility at the right granularity to measure the effectiveness and return on investment of the Agile transformation.

Before we can answer “what” a multi-model database is – we need to look at the “why.”

Traditional databases provide a fixed, static representation of data. However, as soon as you need to accommodate changes to data or downstream requirements, the fixed relational schema becomes an impediment.

That gave rise to the NoSQL database — which offered a different database for each data model.

While you could use polyglot persistence to bundle different data models together to handle all data types, that introduces more complexity. Plus — document databases, graph databases and key-value stores all have their own niche.

So how do you choose between them?

A new solution is evolving — the multi-model database. What constitutes multi-model, and when is it useful?

In this webcast Damon will examine the two paths of multi-model database engineering: a single platform that allows many models on one core, versus complex integrations where many systems are pre-packaged.

Learn:

• When a multi-model database is appropriate
• How each approach impacts DevOps, monitoring, performance tuning, and security
• How to handle data integration with a multi-model database
• Which skills you need, in order to manage a multi-model environment
