As a global citizen as well as a FinTech executive\, Robin constantly experiences the difference and deeply understand the digital payment divergence. In this lecture\, she will walk you through the payment evolution from cash to cashless\, how and why there is such a distinctive divergence between the evolution of the west and the east. To understand the root cause\, we will need to trace back to the essentials\, which is\, how the banking system works\, where the true asset is physically and digitally stored in custody\, and how financial institutions choose to share or not to share individual’s information. \nAs of this moment\, Paypal with millions of users announce the adoption of bitcoin\, and the market capitalization of Square once exceeds that of American Express. Beyond divergence\, she foresees the trend as an emerging smarter and more credible digital payment integration. She explains how they started their payment startup\, iSunOne\, to enable digital payment on both smartphone and through debit card.

This industry faces a range of problems that this technological innovation could mend to a great degree. \nSo\, in this lecture\, we are going to respond: What is blockchain ecosystem? What is Banking 4.0? What are the future digital banking and the financial issues? How could blockchain help to solve said issues?

SUMMARY:Using “z” data for Mainframe analytics & The loss to your business if you do not
DESCRIPTION:  \nUsing “z” data for Mainframe analytics \n& \nThe loss to your business if you do not \n  \nAbstract \nDoes your organization use mainframe data to conduct mainframe analytics and include business data? \nIn most instances the answer is “No”\, or “kind of”. Considering 80%+ of production data touches the mainframe\, shouldn’t this very valuable resource be used? \nWhy is z data not included more for Analytical\, AI/BI machine learning requirements? Without z data\, is like flying a plane with no navigation system! \nThis 45-minute discussion will highlight the obstacles of why companies struggle in combing data from different platforms\, what data to collect & how to use it for analytical purposes. \nDo not under estimate the difference z data can make to your organizations analytical processes and the advantage this will bring over the competition. \nBrian Hoare’s Bio \nBrian Hoare has seen the z platform grow from OS/390 to today’s z/OS. He may speak with a “strange accent” and has introduced new solutions into the USA and worked with several startups. He has presented at local/annual CMG’s\, Share and many other conferences discussing cost reduction (IBM/MLC)\, performance and is now his focused on analytical data on “z”.  Mainframe analytics are his latest passion\, especially as Z is the richest source of data there is. So why not use the richest source of data we have for helping to run the business? \nBrian lives in Florida\, is a passionate fan of Rugby and Football (Soccer) and has several refereeing and coaching badges. \n

SUMMARY:Solving the hidden costs of Kubernetes with distributing tracing- Presented by Lightstep
DESCRIPTION:Kubernetes has enabled software organizations to realize the benefits of microservices through its convenient and powerful abstractions. Deploying\, scaling\, and running distributed software at scale is much easier through the use of Kubernetes.\nHowever\, these benefits have not come without costs compared to traditional software operations. Spiraling monitoring expenses\, the creation of single points of human failure\, and a lack of understanding of service dependencies all contribute to significant hidden costs associated with running software with Kubernetes. \nIn this webcast\, we’ll discuss \n– How observability addresses these costs and helps you quantify and understand them.\n– How new open source tools such as OpenTelemetry can help you understand performance of cloud-native software.\n– How you can easily get started using them today. \nSpeaker: Ishmeet Grewal\, Solutions Architect at Lightstep <ishmeet@lightstep.com>\nAs a Solutions Architect at Lightstep\, Ishmeet partners with customers\, Sales and engineering teams to craft scalable and flexible observability solutions that address customer business problems and accelerate the adoption of Lightstep. Prior to Lightstep\, Ishmeet developed novel research solutions and patents at Accenture Labs\, notably a framework for operationalizing machine learning models at scale. Ishmeet is passionate about creating observability solutions that directly deliver business value for diverse cloud architecture systems.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Data Optimization: What's with the Resurgence of Mainframe In-Memory Processing?
DESCRIPTION:What’s with the Resurgence of Mainframe In-Memory Processing? \nMany companies face a conundrum when it comes to their mainframe. They need to continue to innovate and build new apps at the same time as they feel they are constrained by capacity and performance. There is no magic bullet. It takes a combination of tools\, people\, and processes to truly extract maximum value out of an organization’s mainframe. This Webinar will explore this often misunderstood technology and how it can work with things like IBM’s new Tailored Fit Pricing (TFP) pricing models to let you get the most out of your Z investment and drive performance and capacity for new workloads and apps. \nAttendees will learn: \n\nWhat Mainframe In-Memory Processing is.\nWhat it isn’t.\nWhy is Mainframe In-Memory Processing such a Hot Topic Today?\nHow to make use of it and other tools to get your Mainframe ready for new projects and workloads\n\n\nNote: This session is open to members and non-members but members get access to all recordings\, presentation decks\, and videos-on-demand.
