On the Cloud Wars Live podcast, Tony Uphoff and I discuss how new technologies in AI and Machine Learning are changing business processes.

As a senior executive or CIO, how can you assure yourself that artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML)-derived recommendations are reasonable and flow logically from the project work that has been performed?

While you want to be supportive and encouraging of your team’s work, you don’t want to be misled inadvertently and you want to confirm that the data science team hasn’t misled itself.

Manufacturers can have a clear view of business operations and equipment performance by analyzing data. Data analysis allows these organizations to operate more efficiently, as AI software can use this information to improve decision making.

AI technology is poised to significantly disrupt the industry of web scraping bots due to its ability to analyze vast information and recognize unique patterns.

Looking at ways to improve email workflow for employee training was a top priority for the City of White Rock. This small to mid-size organization needed to find a way to automate and simplify daily business processes.

Oracle claims that its Autonomous Data Warehouse has three significant advantages over category-king Amazon and shiny new object Snowflake.

Oracle has pointedly and publicly called out AWS by claiming Oracle’s new Exadata Cloud Service X8M crushes competing services from AWS.

It’s easy to get started with Power BI, but it’s also easy to end up with an out of control data model that grinds report visuals to a halt. How can you find and fix the problems slowing down performance? 

We’ll show you common pitfalls to avoid, along with handy tools to help you maintain and optimize your models, whether you created them yourself or inherited them from others. You’ll leave this session armed with the tools and knowledge you need to improve the performance, organization, and readability of your models, and monitor for the future to prevent angry calls!

Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence in Power BI consists of clicks not code. 

The session will step thru the features added to Dataflows to utilize the ETL built into PowerQuery. The analytics retrieved from this features helps with the necessary data cleansing and preparation needed for a model. Called AutoML, this option enables the data prep integrated into a model for reporting in Power BI. All is done within Power BI and skills already possessed by the analyst. Model quality and visibility is available through these steps while creating a ML in an awesome reporting tool.

Session Level: Advanced

This session is focused on the best practices for data migration and upgrade from Dynamics AX 2012 to Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain. With data migration and upgrade projects, the best practice methodology followed is to execute these upgrades in a prescribed manner to limit risk and costs. We’ll review leveraging the available tools as templates, DMF Data Management Framework and RSAT regression testing. Their usage depends on the client’s needs for the migration and upgrade.
Project leads, Technical leads, Architects, Developers, Database specialist will learn from a best practice and proven approach to executing a data migration and upgrade in three phases; Analyze, Execute and Validate. This includes analyzing the data and code upgrade, setting up Azure LCS, performing the upgrade to plan and validation of the upgrade before cut over to production.

Data visualization through tools like PowerBI is now critical. You need to see how your business is running, and understand the dials to move for best performance. Dashboards are only as good as the data behind them. In this session, we’ll show you how you can mistakenly create what appears to be a useful dashboard in Excel or PowerBI, but isn’t relevant due to poor data management.  We will then walk you through best practices and tools for effective data organization and governance processes, so you can ensure you will walk away with accurate dashboards that will drive stellar results.

How do you expand reporting when your GP SQL server is overloaded? Set up a new server…isnt that costly?  What if it was less than $100/month? Don’t we need a SQL DBA? No, with Azure Data Factory it’s easy for a business analyst with intermediate SQL skills to copy tables, transform data, and build sophisticated workflows. Power Platform offers similar capabilities, but you might need a full database where you can build views and stored procedures.
