(plane engine)

- [Mark] Welcome to One Aviation.

A maker of very light jets.

In the highly competitive world of aviation,

it's not enough to just make an innovative product.

You have to make that product better,

faster, more efficiently than your competitors.

That means leaving nothing to chance.

Long before the pre-flight check list

and physical evaluations,

before test flights and production runs,

One Aviation has already run this plane through its paces.

That's because it's been designed and tested

in what's being called the digital thread.

Luckily, a few One Aviation team members agreed

to meet me here early this morning to talk about it.

Hey guys.

- [Ryan] Good morning.

- [Mark] What's going on.

- Well today we're preparing to go fly.

- [Mark] That's Ryan Jennings.

Director of Structural Systems Engineering

here at One Aviation.

He'll be my guide on how the digital thread

weaves its way through this operation.

You guys aren't freaked out about this?

- Not a bit.

- How do you know?

Like how do you know that this is going to work?

- [Ryan] Almost every piece of this airplane has a digital

representation or maybe what you would refer to

as a digital twin. - [Mark] Yeah.

- But we know pretty much everything about this plane.

There's nothing we don't know about it.

- So you've tested this plane in the virtual world

before you ever...

- Absolutely.

- ...Fly it in the real world.

- It's not just the physical pieces

that you see that are coming together as an assembly,

it's a simulation along the digital thread of also,

the manufacturing process, the inspection process,

the qualification process.

All that stuff there's a theme here

that goes along with we want to know

what happens before it really happens in the real world.

(curious music)

- Okay, so what is the digital thread?

And can it really help One Aviation thrive

in the competitive category of very light jets?

To help define it, we've assembled this visualization.

The digital thread is a single seamless strand

of data and computing power that stretches all the way

from cradle to grave for a product.

It give you the ability,

not just to monitor something in a linear fashion,

but to take learnings along the way

and feed them back into the next generation

of whatever object we're making.

It could change everything.

Washington, DC.

It's where my journey along the digital thread begins.

Because it's where I find my colleagues,

Kelly Marchese and Mark Vitale.

Kelly and Mark have been leading the charge for Deloitte,

on this notion of the digital thread.

How do you think we got here?

Maybe I start with you Kelly, cause you've really

sponsored and spear-headed this effort since the beginning.

- I think what has sparked the interest

is there's such a need.

Particularly in the department on defense,

because they have such a complexity of people,

and locations, and equipment

that aren't necessarily connected.

And so there's this aspiration to be able to leverage

additive manufacturing to solve a really big problem.

And then realizing it's not about

the individual piece of equipment,

it's about the connection of those.

Almost every meeting I was in, our clients, you know,

and people that we were talking with were asking about this.

Were really engaged into that topic.

Intellectually curious, pulling us into the conversation.

We were having, it hasn't been figured out.

And that's an exciting part of this as well.

Is to be at the forefront of being able to design it,

develop it, leverage technologies that never existed before.

And so, the art of the possible today

couldn't have even been imagined

a couple of years ago.

- We have been talking about this for decades.

- About substituting information for inventory,

or for capital in general.

Why didn't we do it, why isn't it done already?

- You know, you're talking about terabytes of data

that can flow through a digital thread.

So the computing power is in

the capacity to process information,

is significantly advanced where it was,

you know five, ten years ago.

Competitive pressures continue to ratchet.

So you're always looking for new ways to either

innovate and or take cost out of your business.

- You know as a consumer,

we're so used to getting exactly what we want

when we want it, and now there's a human expectation

that we're now applying in business.

And going, well if I can have that on the consumer side,

why can't that be applied in my business setting,

in my manufacturing setting.

Why does it have to be so constrained?

- If I'm the leader of a large organization,

why do I need digital thread?

- It compresses the supply chain from

days, weeks, months, and some cases years to zero.

- There's that 10, 20, 30% productivity bump in front of us

if we can this notion of digital thread right

because what we're going to learn?

- I think so.

You mean you take time and latency out of the supply chain.

- It's no longer linear.

It really feeds into this idea

that's digital supply network.

Things are feeding back much more quickly

and the organizations that do that well are going to win.

- [Mark] So can the digital thread really help

companies win?

Well, that's what I'm going to find out.

With help from our friends back in Albuquerque.

Digital Replatforming - Duration: 3:58.

Hi, I'm Lu Dauber,

and I want to discuss the importance of key digital replatforming initiatives

and how you can use real-time streams to modernize your data infrastructure.

Most of the time, we are reimagining our business

because we are compelled to, either by opportunity or by competition.

In the recent past, a new breed of competitors has emerged

that we're all familiar with: the digital natives.

It's caused many companies to go back to the drawing board

and ask themselves very principle questions like,

"Why can't I do what they're doing at the speed that they're doing it?"

Usually the answer is technology and the ability to process data.

Your infrastructure was built in a time when daily batch reports were the norm.

Introducing the Humble Distributed Log.

It sits at the center of Confluent Platform and Kafka,

and makes it possible for you to save millions of dollars of waste

from your infrastructure.

How? It is the single source of truth,

a simple, straightforward construct

through which you can eliminate a great deal of complexity.

It is the foundational component of Apache Kafka,

and uses the log as a way to allow all systems to communicate

on a very basic level.

The log enables your systems to speak to each other

in a fast distributed way, without all that complexity.

This log is also organized by time.

That is why it is often referred to as an event log.

It captures what happened and when across all systems connected to it,

then shares that information across all downstream systems.

It is the single source of truth

that can resolve many complicated and annoying conflicts in data.

This example shows a global bank that uses Kafka to offload their mainframe

while enabling a new service for their credit card customers.

The bank wanted to be able to provide real-time information

about transactions on the credit card on their website and other systems.

Previously, their systems were batch-oriented,

and could only provide updates once per day.

Also, the cost of the service was prohibitive

due to the volume of reads to the mainframe

that were needed to support that traffic.

The engineering team built the Kafka cluster,

which they used to offload the client profile lookups

from the mainframe.

That was about 80% of the reads of the application.

They wrote a small service,

and then used Elastic to execute the client profile lookups on the cluster.

After they completed this, they were able to reduce the cost

of the mainframe MIPS significantly

and that's just their first application.

In this other use case,

a company used Kafka as the backbone for their microservices,

and successfully reduced the cost of development

by $10 million dollars over 18 months.

As is often the case with the transition to microservices,

they started with a monolithic application.

By the time they got to 2010,

they had over one million lines of code in a single GitHub repo.

Today they have 150 dedicated services,

all connected to a Kafka backbone.

This approach follows Metcalfe's Law,

which declares that the value of a network

scales with the number of connected devices,

or, in our case, services.

Another way to simplify your future digital platforms

is a use case we call Bridge-To-Cloud.

In this scenario, imagine what is happening

between your many application development teams

and your cloud infrastructure.

There are, in effect, many organically growing connections

between on-premises and off-premises.

A way to dramatically improve efficiency, the cost of transfer, and portability,

is to implement a Kafka pipeline as the main method of data transfer

between a cloud and on-prem.

Using the Confluent Replicator,

you can also sync between the cloud and the data center.

These are just a few examples

of how you can use Confluent Platform and Kafka

to help your company be more successful in your digital replatforming project.

This is our management team.

Confluent was founded in 2014, and has been growing rapidly since.

We were founded by the creators of Apache Kafka at LinkedIn,

and are funded by some of the most successful venture firms,

including Benchmark and Sequoia.

More than 75% of the code in Kafka was written by employees of Confluent.

Thank you for listening.

I hope this talk has been helpful.

Dr Carlin Goldbergs Favorite Digital Resources - Duration: 10:42.

>> Hello. I'm Liz du Plessis, the instructional designer

and distance education at Santa Rosa Junior College.

In this video, Dr. Jennifer Carlin-Goldberg explains why she

and her math colleagues at SRJC use free etextbooks

in their classes and how she uses Canvas commons

to share her own resources with her department.

I'll show you how to use comments yourself

to import open educational resources

and to share your own resources with others.

Let's get started.

First, I'll tell you a little about Jennifer

and about the free online textbooks adopted

by the math department.

Jennifer grew up in Petaluma and earned an AA

in mathematics from SRJC in 1997.

She completed a PhD in Mathematics at UC Santa Cruz,

and she was hired full-time at SRJC in 2012.

In the 20 years since Jennifer was a student here,

free online math tools have become widely available

from Kahn Academy to full etextbooks.

For precalculus classes, she and other math faculty

at SRJC use the Stitz Zeager Open Source Mathematics textbook

which is an open educational resource or OER.

>> But, mostly, we want people to start using more

of these free textbooks in our department and all across the,

you know, the college and all across the state.

All right.

The more people who are using the OERs, the better, right?

Saves our students money.

>> Coauthors Dr. Carl Stitz and Dr. Jeff Zeager,

who teach at community colleges

in Ohio gave the textbook a creative commons license

that allows anyone to use, share,

and adapt the resources at no charge.

Dr. Stitz received a grant to develop OERs

to make learning math

and engineering more accessible to Ohio residents.

The authors are featured in a YouTube video

on the Ohio Higher Ed channel

in which they explain what inspired them to create OERs.

>> One of the things I told people

when we first got started is we put together a very traditional

book and distributed it in a nontraditional way.

>> The book reps would come and say, "Okay.

The addition you're using now is coming up for revision,"

and I would look at the seventh edition of the book and look

at the sixth edition of the book,

and there were no actual changes.

>> We teach at community colleges,

and our tuition is roughly 100 bucks a credit hour.

To ask a student to buy a $200 book takes them

out of two hours of class.

There's nothing new in a college algebra textbook at all,

and by that, I mean it's at least 100 years old.

It should be open sourced.

It should be, what's the word I'm looking for, public domain.

By now, everything in that book should be public domain,

and therefore, we just decided

that we could do a better job writing it ourselves

and giving it away for free.

>> You can watch the rest of the video on YouTube

if you search this title.

Also, take a look at Carl Stitz's YouTube channel

for his free instructional videos.

Now, let's see how Jennifer is using Canvas commons

to share her own resources with other faculty members

in the math department at SRJC.

You can see her resources for yourself if you log

into Canvas and go to commons.

Commons is a repository that enables educators to find,

import, and share resources.

If you search Jennifer's name, you'll find entire courses

and course components including quizzes

to accompany the OER textbook that she

and her colleagues have adopted.

Jennifer and her colleagues plan

to share their resources beyond SRJC as well.

>> Well, we all use the same textbook, and we,

when I talk about Canvas with my colleagues, I let them know

that there is stuff in there

that they can, that they can borrow.

Actually, that they can take.

>> And edit.

>> Yeah, and edit.

>> I love that.

>> One thing we are doing in our,

in our department is we are building a fairly comprehensive

Canvas course for the statistics to go

with an open education resource that many

of our faculty are using.

And, we're going to put that into the commons and make

that available for everybody who's using

that textbook to use.

And, there's videos in there, and we are going

to create quizzes to go with the different sections.

Yeah, yeah.

Now, we'll share it with the public,

and we'll let the authors know.

So, if, you know, they want to spread the word.

If they like what we've done, then other people

at other colleges can use it.

>> Jennifer uses Canvas

to supplement her face to face courses.

She finds the quiz tool to be especially useful

for providing instant feedback to students.

>> But, the answer's given to them right

after they've submitted it, and.

>> Okay.

>> So, I like instant feedback, and so I won't have

to write quite so much in everybody's file

as an explanation on why their answer is wrong.

And, I get a little explanation on how, right, they're supposed

to be answering the question.

>> The quiz also alerts students

if they fail to answer a question.

>> One of the biggest problems I had with the labs is

that students wouldn't answer a question,

they'd miss a question, maybe,

because they weren't reading carefully

or they took two separate questions

and thought they were the same.

So, they combined them.

Like, one question was specifically what happens

if you add three to all the data,

and then in general what happens

when you add just a constant to all the data.

And then, they would combine those two, and so,

one of the reasons why I'm doing this is

to separate all the questions, make sure they're all here

and they get warned that they haven't answered a question.

And, I am hoping for better results.

>> Now, I'll tell you more about commons and show you how

to import and share resources yourself.

With commons, you can create a personal repository

that only you can access, share resources with other users

within your department or college or with Canvas users

at large, and import shared resources created

by other Canvas users.

A resource in commons can be a course, module, quiz,

assignment, discussion, page, document,

video, image, or audio file.

Each resource type has a unique icon.

When you open commons from the global navigation menu

in Canvas, you will first see the search page.

Here, you can search for and view resources to import

into your Canvas courses, search for resources using keywords,

tags, names, or institutions.

You can filter resources by type and grade or level and sort

by most relevant, latest, or highest rated.

And, you can choose to omit public resources shared

by users outside of your institution

by clicking the toggle.

If you belong to a group such as these SRJC department groups,

you'll see links to them in the sidebar which allows you to view

and share resources within that group only.

If you'd like to create a group,

contact our systems administrator

at desupport@santarosa.edu.

Click the name of any resource

to view more details including copyright

and creative commons licenses as well as file

and content types included.

You can preview certain file types before importing them

into a Canvas course including some documents, images,

video and audio files.

You cannot, however, preview course components created using

Canvas tools.

For my own shared resources, I often include a url

to a publicly visible Canvas course

so that faculty can take a look

at the components before importing them.

I also include a notice that if you import this resource a

second time to the same course,

it will overwrite the first import and any changes

that you made to the first import.

Renaming or editing the components does not prevent

overwriting from commons,

and for the syllabus page specifically,

any content on the current syllabus page in your course,

even content that was not imported from commons,

will be overwritten

when importing a syllabus page from commons.

For these reasons, I recommend

that you use an unused core shell to import resources

from commons and then import them

into the intended shell to avoid overwriting.

If you don't have a shell for that purpose,

you can set up a free for teachers account

to use for experimentation.

Commons is available in all free for teacher accounts.

You can also request extra core shells for development

or sandboxes to use for commons content.

Go to de.santarosa.edu, click on Canvas request forms

and select core shell for course development.

In some cases, overwriting by commons is useful.

For instance, if you go to commons and click

on the updates tab, you'll see updates available

to resources that you imported.

A popup will appear noting

that the update will replace your current resource including

any edits that you've made.

Now, I'll show you how to share your own resources to commons.

To share an entire Canvas course, click the name

of the course you want to share and click the settings link.

In the sidebar, click the share to commons button.

To share individual Canvas components including

assignments, modules, quizzes, pages, and discussions

in the course navigation, locate the resource you'd like to share

and click the settings icon.

Then, select share to commons.

To share a document, image, video, or audio file

in course navigation, click the files link.

Select the settings icon for the file

and select share to commons.

Next, select a sharing option, content license,

grade level, and add metadata.

These options are covered in detail

in the commons guide available through the help link

in our Canvas environment.

When you're done, click the share button.

By clicking the shared link in commons, you can view a list

of all your shared resources in commons.

From here, you can view the details of your shared resources

and edit or delete them.

Jennifer's shared math resources are meant

to help student learn higher order thinking skills.

>> Interpreting that, interpreting what they get,

and answering the questions correct,

sometimes there is a disconnect

between the student's understanding

of what is happening in relationship

to the stuff in class.

And, I'm trying to, as much as possible, get that connection.

>> Thanks, Jennifer.

Making the Most Out of LinkedIn – Enhancing Your Digital Resume on LinkedIn - Duration: 4:24.

What's up Fish Fans!

My name is Marcus.

You're watching Marketing Madness, the Blue Fish vlog!

Our goal is to address common questions that business owners may have about marketing,

sales, and business.

In this episode I'm going to give you seven tips for making the most out of LinkedIn

Many of our clients, friends, and business associates are overlooking LinkedIn.

I know it is not as dynamic as Facebook, and can you believe they do not even offer stories

like Instagram!

However, LinkedIn is still a significant platform and should probably not be ignored.

Your LinkedIn Profile serves as your digital resume, accessible to all.

Tip #1 Personal Profiles We think many of you are missing the boat

if you are not active on the LinkedIn Platform.

You may even need to pay for the premium membership.

With this access, you can see every user that looks at your profile.

It is amazing how many people go and look you up after meeting them at a networking

event.

Knowing this profile view could potentially lead to a business relationship, wouldn't

you want to put your best foot forward.

Shoot for 100% completeness of your profile.

Add new skills, achievements, and examples of your work.

Publishing articles is a great way to establish credibility in your space.

Tip #2 Company profiles Next, let's ensure that you have created

a page for your company.

Take the same amount of time to fill in all the details and try to have your profile shooting

for 100% completeness.

Your Company Page should offer ample opportunities for prospective customers to learn more about

your company, the people who work there and engage with relevant content.

Tip #3 Define your audience and goals As with any marketing related objective, you

should have clear-cut goals.

Think about what your goals are going to be on this platform.

Are you looking to make new connections and build relationships, generate new leads, raise

brand awareness, or all of the above?

Once you have this in mind, your goals will be easier to accomplish.

Let's say that your company manages social media accounts.

A great way to establish credibility is to create conversations around successes you've

seen or experienced.

People are always looking for tips, tricks, or hacks.

This is a great place to share them.

Tip #4 Optimize your company page for search An effective company page has an audience.

Whether folks are searching on LinkedIn or not, a well-optimized page can help gain visibility.

Your company pages are designed to be SEO friendly.

Make sure to hit on the following points: Insert keywords into your description, link

to your company page, and share relevant content.

Tip #5 Add company page followers When platform users follow your company page,

your updates appear directly in their LinkedIn feed.

So the idea, like other platforms is to have a good following so that your reach is extended.

Here are some tips for adding followers: Start with your employees.

They are your biggest advocates.

Make sure they follow your pages and share your updates and content.

Ask them to like, comment, and tag on any posts made to the company page.

Next, promote your page offsite with your email signatures, newsletters, and blog posts.

Anywhere you put out content, add a link to your LinkedIn profile.

Tip #6 Publish engaging content LinkedIn loves when people publish original

and engaging long form content.

Think about the knowledge you own that your targeted prospect would find valuable.

This is where relationships can be formed.

While it can be tempting to push your product or offering on these platforms, don't.

Tip #7 Consider Promoting your best content When you create and publish an update that

is getting a good response, that usually means the market is finding your content valuable.

A good tactic here is to promote this post.

If your current followers find this material useful, chances are this is an excellent time

to capture more of the market, being it highly likely that others will engage as well.

Well, that's a wrap for this week!

Q&A on Digital Transformation, Retail Store Expansion & More - TechVision LIVE! - Duration: 5:44.

(heavy drum beat)

- Alright, we're back!

I'm here with John, with Phat,

and we are here to answer your questions

so thank you for putting those in the comments.

Alright, so John I'm gonna start with you.

This is our first questions from Suzy.

She says, "we're hearing a lot about digital transformation.

"what's the best place-- or how do you get started

"in this big idea of digital transformation?"

- Yeah, and that's a great question actually.

So, a lot of our customers that we're working with today

are actually really just starting this journey.

Sometimes they're playing around with some technologies,

but for the most part they haven't actually fully started

on that path of implementing digital solutions

at their store locations.

And so what we find is that

the very first thing you need to do

is set a solid foundation for that technology

and that usually is really robust internet connectivity,

really robust switching network secure systems

at their store locations,

and then a pervasive WiFi solution that feeds data

into all of the other digital solutions

that you're going to be implementing at store locations.

So that alone is a big step for a lot of retailers

to implement across all their store locations.

But after you've done that,

then you get access to enhanced analytical data

from your WiFi solution,

and maybe your point-of-sale solution

that you can then start to feed

into data analytic tool sets like Splunk

or other tool sets out there,

and use that data, use the insights from that

to get a small win for your company.

And so you take those small wins

and demonstrate back to your executive team

areas that you can prove or show that investment

has worked out for you,

and then from that you gain better

buy-in from your executive teams,

more budget to actually take on

some of the more aggressive solutions

in the digital transformation journey.

- Yeah, that's cool.

Especially because I imagine convincing executives

to get things done could be difficult.

So data behind you, that's great.

Okay so Phat, here's a question for you.

- Yes.

- So, let's say there is a retailer

that wants to grow and expand into new markets

and territories.

How do you approach that?

What advice would you give?

- Yeah, so I think that's an interesting one.

So, I think particularly in that instance,

understanding first the nature of the business

because different retailers have different requirements,

some are brick-and-mortar,

others have a different retail model.

But absolutely, it's just working with us,

having the conversation,

understanding what countries we want to go into

so we can map that with our transport team

and understand what we can and can't do

within those countries.

And then I think the other thing is understanding

what their roadmap is over a long period of time

so that we can then start looking at

what we're seeing with other retailers in the region

and even things like legislation and government as well,

that's a really big impact.

We've got various changes--

- And more happening all the time.

- Well, absolutely. With UK and Europe, it's Brexit.

And there's other things like that.

It's being mindful of that.

But certainly from our perspective,

it's having conversations, getting us involved,

we'll bring both international teams over

and we'll come together and we'll say,

"look, here's how we can help you expand."

- That's great.

Okay, and that question by the way was from Eric

so Eric thank you very much.

Alright, and then one more

from Mickey.

And she is asking, "what's the best technology

"or coolest technology you are seeing on the show floor?"

- Is that a question for both of us, or--

- Yeah, each of you take a crack at it.

- Yeah, I'm gonna steal this one

so I can talk about the actual coolest technology out there

but when we look at the use of virtual reality

at store locations,

or even outside of store locations,

virtual reality is giving store brands an opportunity

to extend their experience to their customers

no matter where they are.

And the really great part about that is that

regardless of whether they can come visit you at a store

or just experience your brand and the way that

you've manufactured that experience for them,

you can really use virtual reality to extend that engagement

with that customer across a lot of distances.

But it's not just with the customer

that we're seeing a lot of people use virtual reality.

We're seeing a huge adoption in in-store training

and using virtual reality to build up associate skill sets

that will make them better at what they do

on a day-to-day basis.

So I really think that the pervasiveness of VR

today at this show, plus the future prospect of that

in retail are really exciting opportunities.

- That's cool. Okay, so Phat what do you think?

What's the coolest thing you've seen?

- So, I think what for me

it's just generally the trend of

making shopping frictionless and automating.

So I guess the answer to that for me

would be analytics and IoT.

IoT is the Internet of things.

So, it's basically turning processes

that would normally be manual processes

into instantaneous, done by a machine.

And we just free the shopper

to give the customer a better experience.

So, we're seeing things like Ri5D, sensors, beacons,

all these things coming together

and just helping the shopping experience.

So I think the combination of that,

obviously it's been around for a while,

but we're keeping an eye on what the next trends are.

- Yeah, that's really cool.

And I know for me and my experience,

it's really cool to start seeing these technologies

come to life.

And I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next.
