Robert Ross is responsible for architecture and research at TransLattice. Previously, Mr. Ross was a research scientist at McAfee developing content for the HIPS system, as a member of the AVERT Labs team. Prior to this, Mr. Ross was a senior developer at Global Care Quest where he implemented complex SQL functionality and assisted with performance measurement design. As a software engineer at eEye Digital Security he developed HIPS protocol analyzers, worked on Win32 services and kernel. Mr. Ross was a senior software engineer at Symantec, contributing to the first multi-gigabit protocol analyzer as an extension of his work at Recourse Technologies. Recourse’s groundbreaking technology included a distributed security threat management system and advanced, high data-rate network intrusion detection solution. As a senior software engineer at Recourse he implemented significant system components and has secured multiple patents (including numbers 6,981,155 and 6,907,533).

Robert Ross’ session at the E2 Conference is called Big Data: Architecting Systems at Speed. Most people think the fundamental problem presented by Big Data is one of volume. It’s not. It’s speed: How to process realtime streams of information rapidly enough to make meaningful decisions quickly. Creating systems that do this requires fundamentally rethinking how data processing is architected. Designers need to know things like:

  • What are the tradeoffs and benefits of distributed systems like Hadoop and Cassandra?
  • When can fundamental principles of transactional systems like ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) be sacrificed (and when can they not?)
  • What are the benefits of NoSQL?
  • What are the challenges and best practices involved in delivering Big Data analysis at speed?

Attendees will learn:

  • Key characteristics of technologies used in realtime Big Data processing
  • Best practices for designing and architecting realtime Big Data solutions
  • How to navigate the consistency tradeoff: When (and why) to sacrifice ACID for the greater good

David Zilberman joined Comcast Ventures in 2006, and is responsible for identifying, executing and managing new investments while supporting existing portfolio companies. His investment focus is on enterprise IT and digital media. His current portfolio companies include Bubble Motion, CTI Towers, DocuSign, EdgeConneX, Enterproid and Vox Media. David is often tasked with identifying disruptive technologies that will alleviate the IT, security and data analysis concerns of today’s enterprise. David has tremendous insight on the challenges businesses face with mobile devices and cloud software. Prior to joining Comcast Ventures, Dave was a business development manager at Flarion Technologies, where he played a pivotal role in the company’s fundraising activities and ultimate acquisition by Qualcomm. Prior to Flarion, Dave was a communications and media investment banking analyst and asset management associate at Lehman Brothers.

David Zilberman’s session at E2 Conference is called, BYOD into the Cloud: The Next Phase of Enterprise Mobility.  Enterprise mobility is in the midst of a rapid phase of evolution and innovation. Employees are becoming more mobile, and those same employees want and need to bring their own devices (BYOD) into the enterprise’s cloud and other resources; allowing them to do so also stands to boost the enterprise’s bottom line. Cloud capabilities, which empower mobile employees everywhere to access and synch their work across devices and the recent spike in computing power on consumer-level mobile devices, render BYOD the inevitable next frontier for the mobile enterprise. This session will explore the challenges presented by recent evolutions in the first-gen enterprise mobility vendor ecosystem, mobile device and cloud computing capabilities, and employee adoption and usage trends. It will also present impactful case studies of software and innovations currently aimed to solve for BYOD issues.

A post by Paige Pires de Almeida General Manager, E2 Conference

Behind the scenes, we’ve been busy here at E2 Conference, and the time has come to show off what we’ve been up to. Thanks to our talented web and design team, we’re sporting a slick new look and feel for 2013 (check out our new site to see the redesign) and recently announced our initial keynote lineup, new partnership and a new venue. I’m excited to welcome keynoters:

to the Boston event. All of these executives will share their views on enterprise software, and how social business, cloud delivery, mobile platforms, and the power of big data are disrupting the traditional ways we think about the software that runs business and delivers the ultimate customer experience. In many ways the convergence of these forces has given rise to the very notion of ‘customer experience.’ At E2 Conference this year, we’ll take a deep dive into all of these trends, and then some.

Along with our initial keynote lineup, I’m very excited to have my esteemed colleague here at UBM Tech, InformationWeek Editorial Director, Fritz Nelson, join me as conference co-chair. Fritz has been covering emerging tech trends for over 20 years and brings a ton of expertise and (equally importantly) great comedic timing to the event.

E2, the business technology professional’s forum for engaging in discussions about the future of software and discovering strategies for business success, is taking place June 17-19 at a new venue: the Marriott Copley in Boston. To register or for more information, click here.

After today’s workshop, “Community Managers: What They Do. How to be a Great One.”, I became inspired. There was so much great knowledge right there in front of me. I was able to meet new people and share a little about what I was doing in my community. In the spirit of sharing, here is what I learned from today’s session (THANK YOU speakers for dropping the knowledge!):

  • Social Media and community management are NOT the same thing
  • Social Business is a strategy
    • To make organizations more human, adaptive, and resilient in order to increase revenu through relevance and reduce costs through crowd sourcing
  • A community structure promotes shared ownership and commitment
  • Community Managers are match makers and relationship builders
  • Community manager should inspire conversations, not dominate it
  • If you are doing community management without goals, then you are just shouting at people
  • Finding community advocates helps you increase reach and word of mouth
  • Engagement is about building relationships to support organizational goals

Feeling inspired? Today’s workshop is just a snippet of what the conference is going to cover the rest of the week. You still have time to join us and learn from social business experts. Register today with code FFPQBN08 & save $500 on the onsite price or get a free expo pass.

If you attended one of today’s workshops, what were your highlights? Leave a comment below. I’d love to hear them.

Cheers,

Jason aka @jqsmooth
