Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasnt yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sitesonly to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. Thats when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platforms structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, Ill walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system.

As AI reshapes expectations in retail and B2B commerce, organizations are recognizing a critical reality: meaningful AI outcomes depend on well-structured, adaptable infrastructure. In this session, Seth Earley is joined by Phil Ryan - AI strategist, search technologist, and founder of Glass Leopard Technologies - for a candid conversation on what it truly means to engineer systems for scale, agility, and intelligence.
Phil draws on more than two decades of experience leading search and AI initiatives for enterprise organizations. Together, he and Seth explore the challenges businesses face when legacy architectures limit personalization, agility, and real-time decisioning - and what needs to change to support agentic technologies and next-best-action capabilities.
Key themes from the webinar include:
Composability as a prerequisite for AI油- Why modular, loosely coupled systems are essential for adapting to rapid innovation and evolving business needs
Search and relevance as foundational to AI油- How techniques honed-in enterprise search have laid the groundwork for more responsive and intelligent customer experiences
From MDM and CDP to agentic systems油- How data platforms are evolving to support richer customer context and dynamic orchestration
Engineering for business alignment油- Why successful AI programs require architectural decisions grounded in measurable outcomes
The conversation is practical and forward-looking, connecting deep technical understanding with real-world business needs. Whether youre modernizing your commerce stack or exploring how AI can enhance product discovery, personalization, or customer journeys, this session provides a clear-eyed view of the capabilities, constraints, and priorities that matter most.UserCon Belgium: Honey, VMware increased my bill

VMwares pricing changes have forced organizations to rethink their datacenter cost management strategies. While FinOps is commonly associated with cloud environments, the FinOps Foundation has recently expanded its framework to include Scopesand Datacenter is now officially part of the equation. In this session, well map the FinOps Framework to a VMware-based datacenter, focusing on cost visibility, optimization, and automation. Youll learn how to track costs more effectively, rightsize workloads, optimize licensing, and drive efficiencyall without migrating to the cloud. Well also explore how to align IT teams, finance, and leadership around cost-aware decision-making for on-prem environments. If your VMware bill keeps increasing and you need a new approach to cost management, this session is for you!OWASP Barcelona 2025 Threat Model Library

In this presentation, we want to explore powerful data integration and preparation for Machine Learning. FME is known for its ability to manipulate and transform geospatial data, connecting diverse data sources into efficient and automated workflows. By integrating FME with Machine Learning techniques, it is possible to transform raw data into valuable insights faster and more accurately, enabling intelligent analysis and data-driven decision making.Security Tips for Enterprise Azure Solutions

Delivering solutions to Azure may involve a variety of architecture patterns involving your applications, APIs data and associated Azure resources that comprise the solution. This session will use reference architectures to illustrate the security considerations to protect your Azure resources and data, how to achieve Zero Trust, and why it matters. Topics covered will include specific security recommendations for types Azure resources and related network security practices. The goal is to give you a breadth of understanding as to typical security requirements to meet compliance and security controls in an enterprise solution.Wenn alles versagt - IBM Tape sch端tzt, was z辰hlt!

Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and SwecoSafe Software

Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when youre expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FMEs AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.
Discover how airports like Swedavia are harnessing the power of FME to simplify aviation data management, and how you can too.Enhance GitHub Copilot using MCP - Enterprise version.pdf

The SQLExecutor is one of FMEs most powerful and flexible transformers. Pivvot maintains a robust internal metadata hierarchy used to support ingestion and curation of thousands of external data sources that must be managed for quality before entering our platform. By using the SQLExecutor, Pivvot can efficiently detect problems and perform analysis before data is extracted from our staging environment, removing the need for rollbacks or cycles waisted on a failed job. This presentation will walk through three distinct examples of how Pivvot uses the SQLExecutor to engage its metadata hierarchy and integrate with its Data Quality Management workflows efficiently and within the source postgres database. Spatial Validation Validating spatial prerequisites before entering a production environment. Reference Data Validation - Dynamically validate domain-ed columns across any table and multiple columns per table. Practical De-duplication - Removing identical or near-identical well point locations from two distinct source datasets in the same table.Securing Account Lifecycles in the Age of Deepfakes.pptx

In todays dynamic digital landscape, ensuring the quality and dependability of web applications is essential. While Selenium has been a longstanding solution for automating browser tasks, the integration of WebdriverIO (WDIO) with Selenium and JavaScript marks a significant advancement in automation testing. WDIO enhances the testing process by offering a robust interface that improves test creation, execution, and management. This amalgamation capitalizes on the strengths of both tools, leveraging Seleniums broad browser support and WDIOs modern, efficient approach to test automation. As automation testing becomes increasingly vital for faster development cycles and superior software releases, WDIO emerges as a versatile framework, particularly potent when paired with JavaScript, making it a preferred choice for contemporary testing teams.MPU+: A Transformative Solution for Next-Gen AI at the Edge, a Presentation...
