1. Organizations change.
2. They must change (or they disappear).
3. Amidst change, they then struggle to ensure that the different changes they implement are really creating value.

Often, change is perceived like a goal in itself, organizations implement change for the sake of changing and are stuck within a continuous changing loop, accumulating layers of permanent change which appear to be counter-productive, demotivating and dreadful for the organization itself.

In this session Olivier Lazar (LinkedIn profile) will explore how to determine if a change has to occur, and how to ensure it delivers value. Through stability, when the change is not a change anymore.

In the Project Management world, and in the framework defined by PMI® with the PMBOK Guide®, the Program Management Standard and the Portfolio Management Standard, our organizations create the conditions for change (Portfolio Management), assemble the triggers for change (Project Management) and finally deliver the change itself (Program Management) by developing new capabilities.

By developing this continuous processes, some might think that change is an ongoing iterative process, that evolution is a never ending flow of emerging changes.

Actually, it’s not. If the flow of change is continuous in the organization, it doesn’t have the time to absorb the change and realize the expected benefits.

Achieving scalability and elasticity is a huge challenge for data architects.  Data just isn’t small, neat, and orderly anymore.

While all database vendors say they scale big, what if you want to scale to handle over 6,000 queries per second?

Once you are processing data at this speed, how do you handle bottlenecks exhibited under sustained or bursting loads?

If you are running into these issues, it might be because you are adding unnecessary steps in the process.

In this webcast, join Greg Meddles, (O’Reilly bio) Sr. Principal Consultant for MarkLogic, to learn how complex applications and systems must be designed to scale horizontally — both at the software and the hardware level. This concept of “scaling through parallelism” is crucial for performance. Greg will also discuss how to maximize your use of data models you already have, to avoid converting them for every individual query.

Learn:

• How to scale through “parallelism”
• How data models scale differently, and how to test for each type of resource
• Techniques for scaling across different environments, including on-premises or in the cloud
• Best practices and tests for finding bottlenecks in a data pipeline

Presenter: Greg Meddles, Sr. Principle Consultant MarkLogic: thrives when solving difficult problems. Greg brings implementation experience as both a consultant and product engineer for customers ranging from the financial sector, Intelligence Community, and healthcare. Greg has an interest in semantics, artificial intelligence, and natural language understanding. Greg holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics from Birmingham-Southern College.
