On January 4th, the CA Port Data Interoperability Grant Program team held a roundtable discussion with all of the participating ports (Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach , Port of Oakland, Port of San Diego, and Port of Hueneme), led by the California Association of Port Authorities (CAPA). Having CAPA take ownership and lead this discussion was very helpful, as they represent a more neutral party which can hold the interests of all the ports in mind as these new agreements are reached. CAPA also represents the non-containerized ports in CA, and can potentially bring some perspective on interoperability from the smaller ports. The theme of the discussion was how we can use interoperability to help harmonize the data ecosystem. By creating a space for everyone to talk together, we were able to unite on shared stakeholders and data standards, and crucially, collaborate on systems development. Here’s an overview of what was discussed. Together, we: • Shared status updates on the proposal progress • Asked for guidance on getting standardized data from stakeholders • Collaborated around non-containerized standards development • Completed some setup for Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) funding opportunities. This part of the discussion centered on how to use this round of state funding to set the ports up for success in future funding opportunities We’re very happy with how this program is turning out so far, and we look forward to receiving the final grant proposals in February, and then allocating these funds to the participating ports. Thanks again to the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) for making this project happen, and for being a great support to all the stakeholders throughout the process.

Join Henrique Bernardes B Teixeira (Saviynt) and Evan O'Regan (KeyData Associates Inc.) in this live session to learn the best practices proven in the real world to help you plan, migrate, and sustain a modern #IAM infrastructure.

Our CTO, Andrew Knock, has penned an article on three key areas of the Titan platform (and business) that significantly contribute to data security. Looking closely at Architecture, Technology, and Practice, he summarises critical elements of the foundations we operate and clarifies their benefits. He also covers significant differences between legacy systems and those built on a modern technology stack. If you're interested in learning a little more about data security then it's an interesting read! Full article here - https://bit.ly/3UHqrNw

When you work in anything related to reducing negative impacts, or creating positive change, on our planet and people - whether its addressing biodiversity loss, helping reduce water use, social equality or carbon reduction. The driver for action from a potential client will nearly always be.... "What's in it for us?" Its not always the case, and in the last few years I think this has changed slightly in some areas, but fundamentally your products or services, just like those products or services that don't have societal or environmental positives, have to be beneficial for all stakeholders: ★ The customer - Reduce cost, increase reputation, make money, solve a problem. ★ The company - Increase knowledge, get paid, facilitate future opportunities. ★ The planet - Reduce negative impact, create positive change, regenerate, renew, make something better. If you've got a great product or service in this field don't forget the customer. I often hear people take at length at the benefits for the planet (and in my eyes that is the most important too) but don't forget to tell the customer what's in it for them. As an example for us at Interact - Save massive amounts of energy and carbon (planet) while saving £millions off your costs (customer). #carbonreduction #energyefficiency #ikagi

Data intereoperability is key in preventing the next supply chain crisis.

#AutoCon0 Speaker Highlight: Network Source of Truth and Infrastructure as Code Revisited - Damien Garros Damien is a product owner and chief architect for network automation platforms with a specific focus on data management. Abstract: As an industry, we have made a lot of progress in adopting Automation to manage Network infrastructure in the last few years; however, only a few organizations have been able to reach the expert level, and most are still trying to break the glass ceiling that comes with the solutions available right now. In this talk, we'll explore the current challenges that most organizations are facing in reaching the expert level in automation. In the second part, we'll explore a new approach to building an Automation Platform with, at its core, a new generation of Source of Truth that brings the best of Data Modeling and Version Control together. https://lnkd.in/ePQG_y43 #networkautomation #datamanagement #sourceoftruth

[#Geeky #monday #Goodread] NV5 Mission Critical Data Centre on the #moon? Instuitive Machines successfully landed on the Moon. As part of that it carried a virtual data center - a small software deployment on its existing IT infrastructure. Developed by Lonestar Data Holdings, it is the first step in a plan to build data centers on the Moon. If you think T&C Manager and engineers are cool, this has literally making it even cooler 😎 .
