SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Pyramart (pronounced PEER-a-mart) announces the latest version of their disruptive data warehousing technology which makes data warehousing and data mart creation and maintenance fast and easy.

“We’re doing for the data warehousing industry what Henry Ford did for the automobile industry,” proclaims Pyramart founder Dan Bruns. “The days of manual, slow-to-market and expensive data warehouses are over.”

Pyramart’s revolutionary new “Artificial Intelligence Data Warehouse” (AIDW) makes data management chores much easier to handle: all the hard data warehousing work is done automatically by the Pyramart Intelligence Engine. All a user has to do is tell Pyramart about their source data and how they want it to be aggregated and Pyramart takes care of the rest. It is a “Soup-to-Nuts Data Management Platform” handling the creation and maintenance of data warehousing tables, data import and ETL chores, exporting data, and much more, all built using Data Warehousing best practices. Creating “360 degree views” of customers has never been easier or faster.

Pyramart is an application layer that natively works with the most popular database software platforms, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, Netezza, or Big Data. It is not a reporting tool; rather, Pyramart’s specialty is in creating a solid data warehousing foundation from which users can build any report, campaign or analysis from any CRM, Marketing Automation, reporting, or analysis tool.

If a data warehouse already exists in an enterprise, Pyramart can be used to quickly develop department-specific data marts for groups such as Marketing. If businesses don’t already have a data warehouse, Pyramart is an excellent solution because users don’t need specialized data warehousing knowledge.

Plus, Pyramart includes powerful workflow capabilities which allow IT organizations to enable their data-savvy business users to manage their own data, yet still be in control of what makes it in to the data warehouse. In addition, Pyramart includes hundreds of syntax and data quality checks to lessen the possibility of user-caused Armageddon and allow IT personnel to sleep better at night.

Use cases for Pyramart abound, from Marketing Automation to aggregation of data from security appliances or other hardware and infrastructure. Anywhere data from disparate data sources needs to be aggregated in to a data warehouse or data mart, Pyramart is there.

FRESH MEADOWS, N.Y., Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — A survey created by DCL and DITA Strategies polled training and learning professionals and the results show that while the demand for training content is rising, the pace of updating the format for that content in order to best drive business is lagging behind.

DCL is a smart content services provider with extraordinary depth of experience in making the most of content across industries and DITA Strategies is an information architecture development company; together they are uniquely qualified to not only field a survey of this kind, but to also offer solutions to the challenges highlighted in it. The 20-question survey revealed business-driving insights across a wide swath of topics, including the pain points of creating training content, the delivery methods and formats of the training, and much more.

Notably, training and learning materials are still being created and delivered in traditional, unstructured formats like PDF, PowerPoint and Word. For instance, 66.14 percent said they create their training materials in MS PowerPoint, with 50.39 percent using PDF, and 48.82 percent using MS Word. The top delivery methods indicated are: Slide Presentations (68.50 percent), Printed Materials (63.78 percent), Online Courses (62.99 percent), and PDF (53.54 percent). Even further, when asked, “On what devices is your training delivered?” – 92.13 percent said Desktop.

This continued use of formats with low discoverability and limited platforms paint a picture of an industry struggling when it comes to the format and delivery of their content. The impact: training professionals are not prepared to take advantage of the technologies that serve today’s expanding needs. Print-based or unstructured content in, say, MS Word or PowerPoint does not easily transfer in this age of mobile and emerging delivery methods. “Leveraging a structured single source for learning content is the key to keeping the content up-to-date and delivering effective learning experiences on multiple platforms,” said Amber Swope, DITA Specialist at DITA Strategies.

Other responses show a cognitive disconnect within the industry, most notably in a recognition of higher demand paired with a lack of the updates needed to best meet that demand. For instance, the question “How would you rate the demand for training content in your organization in the past year?” showed that almost half (49.61 percent) of respondents said demand has gone up. Meeting that demand is challenging, as seen in the responses to, “What are your greatest challenges in developing and delivering training content today?” Some top challenges cited were “out of date information” (51.01 percent), “maintenance” (49.66 percent), “reduced budgets” (41.61 percent), and “lack of analytics for measuring the effectiveness of training” (41.61 percent).

“The survey shows clearly that training material requirements are expanding rapidly. Increased product complexity, translation for a global economy, the desire to reduce involvement for customer service personnel, mobile, artificial intelligence, 24/7 access, accessibility to the disabled – these all contribute to the need for better training materials,” said Mark Gross, President of DCL. “These materials should be suitable for multiple uses, and capable of rapid update. The solutions revolve around automation, but require turning our traditional learning materials into structured modules such as DITA, which can be adapted, updated, translated, and reused across the many platforms people use to learn.”

Data Conversion Laboratory, Inc. (DCL) (dclab.com) has been helping organizations transform their content to smarter formats for over 35 years. DCL’s services include automating XML & HTML conversion, metadata enrichment and web scraping using the latest innovations in machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technology. DCL helps organize content for modern technologies and platforms.

NUREMBERG, Germany, Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — As organizations face increasing pressure to become more agile and economically efficient by leveraging digital assets and information, the business success of many depends on high availability and responsiveness of their enterprise IT systems. To help ensure their success, SUSE® is expanding its portfolio of business-critical computing infrastructure solutions that provide nonstop IT and workload predictability for those customers. SUSE today unveiled SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching for IBM Power Systems and SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 12 Service Pack 3 to maximize the availability and responsiveness of business-critical IT systems. Building on the success of Live Patching for the x86 platform, SUSE is the first to provide Live Patching for IBM POWER.

Live Patching for IBM Power Systems lets customers apply Linux kernel fixes on the fly without interrupting service in IBM POWER environments. Live Patching keeps business-critical applications like in-memory database using SAP HANA running in the event of critical kernel security updates. SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 12 SP3 is a complete real time operating system that provides precision timing for critical application workloads. Service Pack 3 introduces the ability to mix real time and non-real time workloads on a single virtual machine so managing real time environments is easier and more efficient. These offerings are part of SUSE’s software-defined infrastructure and application delivery solutions that, along with SUSE’s flexible business practices and support for freedom of choice and best of breed, are more critical to IT organizations than ever before.

“Customers’ business success often relies on nonstop IT,” said Gerald Pfeifer, vice president of Products and Technology Programs at SUSE. “Live Patching for IBM Power Systems and the latest Real Time update provide more uptime and predictability in the enterprise data center, which are essential to customers’ ability to satisfy the demands of business-critical workloads. In turn, they are able to meet the demands of their own customers more effectively, quickly adapting to changing market conditions and maximizing economic efficiency.”

Stefanie Chiras, vice president, IBM Systems Group, said, “As a cognitive solutions and cloud platform company, IBM is changing industries around the world. A key part of this transformation is modernizing underlying infrastructure so it is highly reliable, high performing, secure and agile and it can fully leverage the data and investments in our customers’ enterprises. We’ve always worked hand in hand with partners like SUSE to deliver these capabilities. Live patching for the IBM Power Systems portfolio is another important step in this transformation and will help accelerate outcomes for thousands of clients worldwide.”

SUSE and IBM have collaborated on the world’s most mission-critical systems for more than two decades. IBM originally worked with SUSE to bring Linux to IBM’s largest systems, and today the companies continue to work together on new solutions that maximize performance, availability and customer choice.

Customers are demanding Live Patching as it helps them improve business continuity and lower costs by reducing downtime, increasing service availability and enhancing security and compliance. Downtime is not an option for a host of business-critical applications ranging from artificial intelligence apps, big data analytics and databases such as Oracle and SQL to performance-demanding in-memory database applications such as SAP HANA.

“The live patching function on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is al­most invisible: it just runs and there are no reboots,” said Hans Lenting, IT architect for SVHW, a government service organization in the Netherlands that runs a large number of interconnected applications to support important municipal services. “It enables us to apply major maintenance and security patches with no downtime. Live patching is a huge benefit for the hypervisor layer, which we need to keep ‘in the air’ for as long as we can. Without this, we would be faced with bringing down all 40+ virtual machines each time we needed to apply critical patches – at least once a month.”

SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 12 SP3 is an open source real time operating system designed to reduce latency and increase the predictability and reliability of time-sensitive, business-critical applications with process and task prioritization and scheduling. This new release provides an updated real time kernel for advanced application workloads that require precise timing and synchronization.

HOUSTON, Jan. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — BMC, a global leader in IT solutions for the digital enterprise, today announced it has integrated AWS Service Catalog into the BMC service catalog, part of the BMC Digital Workplace solution, delivering one-click self-service to the products and services employees need to be productive. The collaboration builds on BMC’s strategic relationship with Amazon to help customers move enterprise workloads to the AWS Cloud faster in a secure, low-risk, and cost-effective way. The BMC Digital Workplace solution becomes the single interface for BMC customers to provision AWS cloud services and IT service management solutions from BMC.  

“A key focus of our cloud management strategy is to empower our customers to migrate and utilize cloud services easier and more confidently,” said Bill Berutti, President, Enterprise Solutions at BMC. “Integrating AWS Service Catalog into our service catalog alongside BMC’s industry-leading solutions reduces complexity and enables one-stop shopping for AWS cloud services provisioning and management. We’re excited about this significant step in our relationship with AWS, and to showcase this integrated service catalog to customers.”

The average company has more than 20 catalogs for IT and business services, which typically results in an inefficient process requiring employees to separately search, select, and provision services from each catalog. The BMC Digital Workplace service catalog provides a “one-click” consumer-like experience by aggregating and managing apps and services across the enterprise in a centralized solution. By integrating AWS Service Catalog with BMC Digital Workplace, companies now can reduce catalog sprawl to improve workforce agility and employee productivity through integrated self-service.

“Our customers have been asking for easier access to enterprise service management tools to procure, deploy and manage their AWS cloud resources. Integration of AWS Service Catalog with BMC Digital Workplace will enable BMC enterprise customers to migrate workloads to AWS faster and access their AWS cloud resources from their integrated BMC portal,” said Barry Russell, GM of WW Business Development, AWS Marketplace and Service Catalog, Amazon Web Services, Inc.

AWS Service Catalog enables organizations and employees to more quickly describe and provision commonly deployed IT services that are approved for use on AWS, including virtual machine images, servers, third party software, and databases to complete multi-tier application architectures. AWS Service Catalog empowers users to quickly deploy only the approved IT services they need, ensuring consistent governance and meeting compliance requirements.

BMC’s service catalog integration with AWS cloud services will be demonstrated at AWS Sales Kickoff 2018 in Las Vegas January 30 through February 2, 2018.
