    hell over one and welcome to mend

    [00:00:03.680]
    ICS live at medics World two point

    [00:00:05.769]
    ill. It is Day four of medics

    [00:00:07.959]
    world, and this is the last

    [00:00:10.609]
    live session that we’re going to do not just

    [00:00:12.660]
    for today, but for medics, world

    [00:00:14.740]
    as a whole. So I’m kind of sad,

    [00:00:17.000]
    but we have some good one

    [00:00:19.230]
    our content for you because going

    [00:00:21.350]
    to talk to a semantics. Experts

    [00:00:24.620]
    who are people in the community

    [00:00:26.859]
    who know exactly how to build APS,

    [00:00:28.989]
    what the best features are and

    [00:00:31.539]
    what use they are for developers.

    [00:00:33.939]
    So what I like to find out from them

    [00:00:36.250]
    is what were their most

    [00:00:39.299]
    interesting announcements that they heard at the

    [00:00:41.369]
    keynote from Johann and Eric?

    [00:00:43.240]
    And what did they think? How did

    [00:00:45.420]
    they think it might help developers

    [00:00:47.570]
    build better solutions,

    [00:00:49.340]
    So to introduce the first speaker,

    [00:00:51.920]
    this is Paul Eaton, and Paul

    [00:00:54.009]
    Eaton is the senior director of BYU

    [00:00:56.310]
    APS at Brigham Young University

    [00:00:58.549]
    in Provo, Utah.

    [00:01:00.159]
    With a student body of over 30,000,

    [00:01:03.270]
    Brigham Young University is one of the largest

    [00:01:05.349]
    private universities in the United States.

    [00:01:08.409]
    Operating like a small city, the

    [00:01:10.659]
    campus has everything from its own healthcare

    [00:01:12.950]
    facilities to police Department.

    [00:01:15.849]
    Now Paul’s division is the custom

    [00:01:18.019]
    software development arm of B. Y. U’s

    [00:01:20.450]
    Central office of I T

    [00:01:22.739]
    and Paul, and his team’s current goals are

    [00:01:25.260]
    to consolidate existing Web

    [00:01:27.310]
    APS from over 13 software

    [00:01:29.480]
    development stacks

    [00:01:30.760]
    to just two

    [00:01:32.390]
    at one of which is medics.

    [00:01:34.840]
    And he wants to improve the user journey

    [00:01:37.319]
    by focusing on implementing business

    [00:01:39.459]
    logic and presentation

    [00:01:41.480]
    instead of technology.

    [00:01:43.439]
    Paul, welcome to the session

    [00:01:46.340]
    high on. Thanks for having me.

    [00:01:48.239]
    Absolutely. It’s a great for you to be here

    [00:01:50.459]
    on. I think we’re gonna have a really

    [00:01:52.670]
    interesting a conversation, right? Right

    [00:01:54.680]
    now, I think my

    [00:01:56.540]
    second guessed is Norbu,

    [00:01:58.620]
    a cell from a ver tre

    [00:02:00.939]
    and nor WSL is the process

    [00:02:03.079]
    engineering lead at a Virtual Corp

    [00:02:05.599]
    She has almost 10 years of experience in

    [00:02:07.799]
    low code and BPM platforms,

    [00:02:10.139]
    and she transformed herself along

    [00:02:12.520]
    with a ver tre

    [00:02:13.659]
    ah virtuous new vision

    [00:02:16.090]
    three years ago.

    [00:02:17.460]
    And she was the first person who joined over Tre

    [00:02:19.840]
    with a low code and BPM experience

    [00:02:22.400]
    to start the initiative of transforming

    [00:02:25.080]
    of rituals, product from traditional

    [00:02:27.479]
    coating to mend ICS, to simplify

    [00:02:30.099]
    building product journeys

    [00:02:32.150]
    for their customers and starting

    [00:02:34.270]
    a new world of innovation

    [00:02:36.930]
    with medics. So nor welcome

    [00:02:39.349]
    to the session

    [00:02:41.719]
    age A young thanks for hosting

    [00:02:44.110]
    me. Just a willy.

    [00:02:47.250]
    And where you were you calling in from?

    [00:02:49.449]
    Because I’m in the Netherlands policy in the U.

    [00:02:51.590]
    S. I’m I’m

    [00:02:53.650]
    from I’m Jordan.

    [00:02:55.189]
    So excellent. Yes, very

    [00:02:57.330]
    still has multiple

    [00:02:58.990]
    our headquarters and you, us and we have

    [00:03:01.080]
    regional office. So India, Jordan,

    [00:03:03.110]
    I’m in Jordan.

    [00:03:04.830]
    That’s excellent.

    [00:03:06.699]
    So our third guest of the day

    [00:03:08.949]
    is Philip Lutz from Seaman’s.

    [00:03:11.430]
    Philip is an I T partner for

    [00:03:13.490]
    the business unit Motion Control

    [00:03:16.039]
    of Seamen’s Digital Industries.

    [00:03:18.310]
    He is responsible for the low code strategy

    [00:03:20.849]
    of over a dozen factories across

    [00:03:22.949]
    the globe.

    [00:03:24.039]
    Motion Control produces motors,

    [00:03:26.439]
    converters, CNC systems

    [00:03:28.639]
    and industry software and has

    [00:03:30.870]
    over 15,000 employees

    [00:03:32.990]
    in different locations. Go. Going

    [00:03:35.050]
    from Mexico to China

    [00:03:37.539]
    on Phillip’s job is to establish

    [00:03:39.780]
    medics as the go to app

    [00:03:41.990]
    development

    [00:03:42.939]
    platform for any new internal

    [00:03:45.580]
    digitalization projects.

    [00:03:47.889]
    So his

    [00:03:49.719]
    mission is to make fast, scalable

    [00:03:52.180]
    and secure app development accessible

    [00:03:54.460]
    for anyone in his business unit.

    [00:03:57.139]
    From hard core software engineers to

    [00:03:59.560]
    citizen develop developers.

    [00:04:02.639]
    Yeah, a pleasure to be here. Thanks, young.

    [00:04:05.250]
    Welcome to the session. Good to have you all. Thank

    [00:04:07.689]
    you so much.

    [00:04:08.729]
    Um, I hope you’ve been following along

    [00:04:10.849]
    with all the life sessions and the on demand

    [00:04:13.129]
    sessions.

    [00:04:14.240]
    Um

    [00:04:15.439]
    I mean,

    [00:04:16.370]
    it’s so much content. I think

    [00:04:18.459]
    we’re gonna need another month that you just get through

    [00:04:20.519]
    all of it.

    [00:04:22.050]
    Not to say, Yeah, you will take a while, but

    [00:04:24.329]
    you couldn’t see all that

    [00:04:26.660]
    possible to watch all of them. The day has 24

    [00:04:28.759]
    hours no more.

    [00:04:30.139]
    No. Right. Yeah.

    [00:04:32.639]
    Um, right. So

    [00:04:35.339]
    I’m really curious. I

    [00:04:37.750]
    know that you’ve watched the keynote.

    [00:04:40.089]
    Um, and we announced 20

    [00:04:42.610]
    new

    [00:04:43.639]
    products and features. This is,

    [00:04:45.819]
    you know, taking it to a whole new level.

    [00:04:48.209]
    Um, and I’m really curious about what your

    [00:04:50.329]
    top three

    [00:04:51.819]
    new capabilities Air announced. Features

    [00:04:54.079]
    are, Paul, if you can kick that

    [00:04:56.290]
    off. Yeah. You bet. If

    [00:04:58.319]
    you had asked me what my top eight features

    [00:05:00.339]
    was, that would be a lot easier than top three,

    [00:05:02.670]
    but I think everybody is excited

    [00:05:05.009]
    about data hub. I haven’t talked to anyone who

    [00:05:07.100]
    isn’t excited about data hub.

    [00:05:09.370]
    Um, I don’t want to talk about workflow

    [00:05:11.870]
    because newer thinks he’s going to take that

    [00:05:14.019]
    one. But from

    [00:05:16.060]
    my developers, they’re really excited about

    [00:05:18.550]
    the element level conflict resolution

    [00:05:20.620]
    in Studio Pro,

    [00:05:21.920]
    especially when that’s a conflict

    [00:05:24.490]
    at the

    [00:05:25.370]
    domain level layer.

    [00:05:27.029]
    Whenever that happens, it’s a huge

    [00:05:29.339]
    amount of time to fix

    [00:05:30.970]
    so super excited about that.

    [00:05:33.639]
    And, uh, I also like to mention

    [00:05:35.800]
    get support

    [00:05:37.139]
    only because,

    [00:05:38.439]
    um when you have a large number

    [00:05:40.550]
    of files to commit, like you just

    [00:05:42.910]
    imported a big module or something,

    [00:05:45.339]
    trying to

    [00:05:47.139]
    wait for subversion

    [00:05:49.430]
    is really hard to justify, you know.

    [00:05:51.709]
    But I’ve seen in my experience with

    [00:05:53.829]
    git it’s much better at handling large

    [00:05:56.040]
    number lower numbers of files when you commit.

    [00:05:58.160]
    So I’m looking forward to that performance boost.

    [00:06:00.939]
    Awesome.

    [00:06:01.839]
    So, Philip, what about you?

    [00:06:04.189]
    To me as well, Data Hub. This is

    [00:06:06.819]
    in my day to day work. I think it’s the

    [00:06:08.870]
    biggest lever that I have

    [00:06:10.560]
    with taking so much time for data integration.

    [00:06:12.689]
    We have so many silos, so many

    [00:06:14.740]
    data lakes that are not accessible, really.

    [00:06:17.519]
    And, um

    [00:06:19.209]
    and he’s looking forward to working with Data Hub,

    [00:06:22.389]
    also workflow, but nor as

    [00:06:24.480]
    polarities. That stage is yours with this

    [00:06:26.610]
    one, Um, and also

    [00:06:28.819]
    for me, for from an industrial point

    [00:06:30.920]
    of view, Mannix on edge is

    [00:06:33.709]
    a big thing

    [00:06:34.740]
    Another. This doesn’t seem to interesting

    [00:06:37.160]
    maybe to a company who doesn’t

    [00:06:39.680]
    produce. But,

    [00:06:41.540]
    um, there’s so much

    [00:06:43.569]
    data, we have machines that produce

    [00:06:45.959]
    thousands off data points every

    [00:06:48.000]
    second. And if you multiply

    [00:06:50.339]
    that with,

    [00:06:51.769]
    I don’t know, 100 machines per factory

    [00:06:53.939]
    and then you have 15 factories. So you get

    [00:06:56.279]
    in the billions and in the trillions

    [00:06:58.449]
    every day,

    [00:06:59.399]
    and you can just push that into the cloud

    [00:07:01.709]
    all the time and process it there.

    [00:07:04.139]
    So you need the edge, and you need to

    [00:07:06.660]
    you need the processing power there. And

    [00:07:08.810]
    if you can use men dicks to make that more

    [00:07:10.930]
    accessible

    [00:07:11.899]
    to make that less cryptic for four people

    [00:07:14.160]
    and to really accelerate that, it’s

    [00:07:16.250]
    gonna be

    [00:07:17.740]
    there’s millions and billions in this

    [00:07:20.120]
    for us speaking in money terms

    [00:07:22.149]
    and from a

    [00:07:23.089]
    developer point of view of this is just it’s gonna

    [00:07:25.209]
    be so much fun to to work with mandates

    [00:07:27.370]
    on all levels, not only on the cloud level,

    [00:07:30.509]
    I thought it.

    [00:07:31.439]
    Yeah, I think that’s a very interesting feature,

    [00:07:33.480]
    and we’re definitely going to go.

    [00:07:35.500]
    Ah, a little bit more in depth on

    [00:07:37.550]
    that. So ah, nor what

    [00:07:39.970]
    are your top three features

    [00:07:42.069]
    I’ve already heard one.

    [00:07:44.350]
    Yeah,

    [00:07:45.529]
    Um, so I was from development

    [00:07:47.750]
    perspective debugging and under floor

    [00:07:50.110]
    on, and I will measure it with

    [00:07:52.290]
    solving conflicts.

    [00:07:53.699]
    It’s, ah, good thing for in development,

    [00:07:56.939]
    uh, our life, daily

    [00:07:58.970]
    life work. Um, that

    [00:08:01.199]
    I help is great and seems what

    [00:08:03.230]
    I’m saying. We need

    [00:08:04.980]
    to see how it’s going to work with

    [00:08:07.149]
    our industrial ah,

    [00:08:09.350]
    business and all of that

    [00:08:11.139]
    while I like working on integration

    [00:08:13.250]
    and doing them well myself here

    [00:08:15.740]
    as something interesting

    [00:08:17.500]
    workflow exists for me is the best. I

    [00:08:19.870]
    think that’s what leverage Min Dixon

    [00:08:22.279]
    in a way that

    [00:08:23.689]
    you don’t need to integrate with any back and

    [00:08:25.860]
    ppm service. You will have it

    [00:08:27.860]
    your own.

    [00:08:31.319]
    Okay. But he lost. Ah, we lost

    [00:08:33.330]
    nor there for a bit. So we’ll, uh, we’ll come back

    [00:08:35.440]
    to your reconnects.

    [00:08:39.159]
    I think you’re back.

    [00:08:40.940]
    Okay.

    [00:08:42.090]
    When you’re talking about

    [00:08:44.409]
    yeah. No. Where is no problem?

    [00:08:46.690]
    Talking about connecting to back and system

    [00:08:49.169]
    Yes, s sorry. Start off. Maybe

    [00:08:51.950]
    connecting index two ppm

    [00:08:54.210]
    back in the system. We will,

    [00:08:56.419]
    uh we will have everything in one place,

    [00:08:58.690]
    and that’s what help. They’re also

    [00:09:01.429]
    expand the clients. That may

    [00:09:03.519]
    could be the one ppm

    [00:09:05.649]
    so

    [00:09:06.889]
    that would be rock flows.

    [00:09:08.740]
    So that would be something I think it will add

    [00:09:10.769]
    to the business that meat for

    [00:09:13.440]
    utility. And also, um,

    [00:09:16.230]
    it will it will

    [00:09:18.320]
    leverage in new customers and

    [00:09:20.580]
    form index

    [00:09:21.929]
    the same way.

    [00:09:23.710]
    Yeah, Yeah, totally agree.

    [00:09:25.830]
    Yeah.

    [00:09:26.840]
    So if you’re watching this, you have any questions

    [00:09:29.049]
    for Paul or for Philip Or four, Nor

    [00:09:31.929]
    go to the MX W live channel

    [00:09:34.250]
    on medics role to dot slack

    [00:09:36.399]
    dot com and hit that lightning icon

    [00:09:38.690]
    and submit your question and

    [00:09:40.879]
    yeah, we’ll ask your question live. So

    [00:09:42.980]
    if you want to talk about ask questions about data

    [00:09:45.230]
    Hub how university was using this

    [00:09:47.539]
    or how industrial companies are

    [00:09:49.549]
    you using this or ah,

    [00:09:51.990]
    medics, customer and partner like like

    [00:09:54.230]
    ever tra

    [00:09:55.159]
    Uh, yeah, go ahead and start. So be your questions

    [00:09:58.139]
    now to kick it off. All

    [00:10:00.269]
    of you has said one set

    [00:10:02.720]
    the same thing and that was data

    [00:10:04.940]
    hub. Obviously, this is a huge

    [00:10:07.389]
    thing, and we’ve actually

    [00:10:09.500]
    mentioned it at Medics world last

    [00:10:11.909]
    year when we announced that we were working

    [00:10:13.990]
    on it. Now,

    [00:10:15.740]
    um, we’ve being doing a lot of

    [00:10:17.759]
    development in the past year,

    [00:10:19.940]
    and ah,

    [00:10:21.379]
    it was mostly behind closed doors with

    [00:10:23.629]
    a number of selected

    [00:10:25.340]
    partners and customers to find out

    [00:10:27.450]
    how we can best built

    [00:10:29.610]
    this data platform

    [00:10:32.669]
    to make to make it the best solution

    [00:10:35.289]
    for customers.

    [00:10:36.340]
    Now, I have

    [00:10:38.360]
    heard from reliable sources that

    [00:10:40.879]
    Paul, you have actually being involved

    [00:10:43.450]
    in some of this development and beta

    [00:10:45.669]
    testing. Uh,

    [00:10:47.740]
    how did you get involved in this testing?

    [00:10:50.840]
    Well, I just mentioned to my customer

    [00:10:53.039]
    success manager that I was interested,

    [00:10:55.740]
    and she mentioned that she

    [00:10:57.919]
    might be able to set up some meetings so

    [00:10:59.929]
    we could

    [00:11:01.110]
    talk through where the product waas get my feet

    [00:11:03.220]
    back on it.

    [00:11:04.440]
    And so then I started talking with gay organ

    [00:11:07.110]
    on others, and it was just

    [00:11:09.269]
    a really good experience. I was

    [00:11:11.309]
    able to

    [00:11:12.340]
    explain some of the things from

    [00:11:14.139]
    the university perspectives that they

    [00:11:17.340]
    hadn’t yet considered and give them some

    [00:11:19.519]
    feedback on things that they,

    [00:11:21.940]
    um, we’re already thinking about. So it’s

    [00:11:24.580]
    it’s, uh, been very helpful so far.

    [00:11:27.539]
    So what was your initial idea

    [00:11:29.820]
    and scope for? For data hub?

    [00:11:31.980]
    How did you want to

    [00:11:33.840]
    apply it? In Brigham Young University’s

    [00:11:36.840]
    ah case,

    [00:11:38.440]
    there were two pieces that I would

    [00:11:40.539]
    like data hub to your use cases

    [00:11:42.700]
    I would like to hug, to fix or help with

    [00:11:45.240]
    one is just improve

    [00:11:47.399]
    the time it takes to do integrations

    [00:11:50.139]
    across many different disparate systems.

    [00:11:52.480]
    And I think,

    [00:11:53.580]
    um, medics has hit the nail on the head.

    [00:11:55.740]
    With this,

    [00:11:56.840]
    you can

    [00:11:57.970]
    use all of the

    [00:12:00.139]
    almost all, if not all, of

    [00:12:02.159]
    the performance improvement features

    [00:12:04.769]
    developer performance improvement features like

    [00:12:06.830]
    the productivity features

    [00:12:08.639]
    of men, dicks

    [00:12:10.490]
    with external systems and were pointed as

    [00:12:12.490]
    if it was a local

    [00:12:15.070]
    table where local entity,

    [00:12:17.440]
    um, being able to put

    [00:12:19.610]
    in a data grid just just Aziza Lee

    [00:12:21.710]
    with a local table as you would have an external table

    [00:12:24.360]
    being of the associate

    [00:12:26.399]
    entities both,

    [00:12:28.950]
    you know, in your own APS database

    [00:12:31.399]
    and remote

    [00:12:32.769]
    is just a huge win,

    [00:12:34.570]
    um, and will speed up the development process

    [00:12:36.830]
    a lot. The other thing that slows down our

    [00:12:38.909]
    developers is our information governance

    [00:12:40.940]
    process.

    [00:12:42.279]
    That process is very laborious.

    [00:12:44.620]
    Um, although the people

    [00:12:46.740]
    of BYU have been helping a ton

    [00:12:48.970]
    to improve it over time,

    [00:12:50.649]
    it’s still tanks. A quite a long time. So

    [00:12:53.639]
    we’ve been talking a lot with

    [00:12:55.960]
    the product team at medics

    [00:12:58.289]
    with data hub

    [00:13:00.259]
    on how to improve that process and make

    [00:13:02.460]
    it work. There’s some things that I think

    [00:13:05.639]
    are just difficult on. Bond

    [00:13:07.899]
    medics will do

    [00:13:09.539]
    a great job at

    [00:13:11.090]
    making it better, but I don’t know if there’s

    [00:13:13.490]
    some things that are just difficult to

    [00:13:16.110]
    to do.

    [00:13:17.090]
    And, um,

    [00:13:18.600]
    neither I nor the product team knew how to make them

    [00:13:20.970]
    much better. But, you know, we can get it. Is best

    [00:13:23.269]
    is you can

    [00:13:24.840]
    Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

    [00:13:26.500]
    I’d love to hear more on that. Um,

    [00:13:28.529]
    but I I would like to ask Philip because

    [00:13:31.039]
    Philip, you’re you’re in a very different

    [00:13:33.129]
    type of situation, right? You’re working

    [00:13:35.240]
    in an industrial environment.

    [00:13:37.450]
    Um, but you’re trying to help

    [00:13:39.629]
    people automate and digitalize things.

    [00:13:42.419]
    How do you see?

    [00:13:44.179]
    Ah, data hub helping

    [00:13:46.519]
    you in this case?

    [00:13:49.440]
    I mean, you have to look at the size

    [00:13:51.509]
    off Siemens. We have 350,000

    [00:13:54.070]
    employees, and where we have,

    [00:13:56.080]
    we’re in so many different market fields

    [00:13:58.129]
    that range from I don’t know, motors, converters

    [00:14:00.669]
    and

    [00:14:01.639]
    software as we do. Then there’s trains.

    [00:14:04.580]
    People actually trains. We have consulted.

    [00:14:07.000]
    We have healthcare like X ray machines. We have

    [00:14:09.049]
    also a banking division,

    [00:14:10.940]
    so there’s stuff that everybody uses

    [00:14:13.379]
    like the corporate directory.

    [00:14:15.240]
    Um, but this also stuff that

    [00:14:17.539]
    maybe only your operate

    [00:14:20.049]
    your your company within the company

    [00:14:22.169]
    is using. Then there stuff that only your business unit

    [00:14:24.330]
    is using and despondent on your factory

    [00:14:26.669]
    or your office or even your team only yourself

    [00:14:28.789]
    it’s using. So this produces

    [00:14:31.139]
    a lot of data and into chaos, and it’s very

    [00:14:33.730]
    complex.

    [00:14:35.440]
    Um,

    [00:14:36.340]
    so everything that takes out this complexity

    [00:14:39.009]
    and makes it visual

    [00:14:40.940]
    is good. So the more complex, the more

    [00:14:42.960]
    value you have to a visualization off.

    [00:14:45.360]
    The relationships and data have offices

    [00:14:47.419]
    that yeah, and

    [00:14:49.759]
    it also offers. Yes, also

    [00:14:52.120]
    offers, like a semantic layer for us to

    [00:14:54.230]
    search the data. And so we are

    [00:14:56.250]
    really know what does the data mean?

    [00:14:58.759]
    That is something that our business colleagues struggle

    [00:15:01.070]
    that are, Let’s call them citizen

    [00:15:03.139]
    developers

    [00:15:04.299]
    because they know that we have the state of somewhere.

    [00:15:06.519]
    And then let’s pull it from there. But what is the source system

    [00:15:08.970]
    and what is the source system of this one?

    [00:15:10.879]
    So

    [00:15:11.840]
    the data takes like a little

    [00:15:13.870]
    trek through the whole company, and

    [00:15:15.909]
    then, at some point,

    [00:15:17.000]
    it, um, arrives at one

    [00:15:19.080]
    person. But that doesn’t mean it is the correct data

    [00:15:21.230]
    because it has been changed so many times.

    [00:15:23.639]
    So if we have, if we

    [00:15:25.690]
    use data hub in the right way and

    [00:15:27.779]
    we have, like, a single source of truth

    [00:15:29.940]
    for the data that we offer there,

    [00:15:32.039]
    of course, it has to be governed properly. But if

    [00:15:34.179]
    if we have this yeah, and this is validated,

    [00:15:37.090]
    then this is going to increase

    [00:15:39.350]
    the speed off app development, especially with

    [00:15:41.450]
    citizen developers. Extremely.

    [00:15:44.240]
    And

    [00:15:45.629]
    we need the citizen developers because

    [00:15:47.879]
    I t budget is limited as well.

    [00:15:50.340]
    And the requirement list is very

    [00:15:52.570]
    long. So we need everyone can

    [00:15:54.570]
    code. Well, yeah, exactly.

    [00:15:56.750]
    You want to make it simpler for

    [00:15:59.019]
    people to access the right kind of data so

    [00:16:01.340]
    that it helps with

    [00:16:03.490]
    the governance of that data

    [00:16:05.909]
    and ah, yeah, making it as

    [00:16:08.480]
    a single managed source instead

    [00:16:10.730]
    of all kinds of random sources throughout.

    [00:16:13.279]
    So that’s Ah, yeah, that that’s very important

    [00:16:18.440]
    dinner. I’m very curious about how

    [00:16:20.529]
    you see the benefit of data hub for

    [00:16:22.909]
    for a Virtua.

    [00:16:25.940]
    Um,

    [00:16:27.409]
    definitely. This is something we need like

    [00:16:29.629]
    to put our hands on and see if

    [00:16:32.899]
    how that will help us as utility.

    [00:16:36.779]
    Um, like as a company that

    [00:16:39.000]
    provides product for utilities

    [00:16:42.029]
    company. Um,

    [00:16:44.139]
    our integration. We have a lot

    [00:16:46.169]
    of integration, but ah, we

    [00:16:48.279]
    have It is. Maybe it could be that

    [00:16:50.379]
    the base for the clients, it’s, um

    [00:16:52.620]
    we have a 20 year,

    [00:16:54.169]
    so we need to check that.

    [00:16:56.350]
    Andi.

    [00:16:57.539]
    Also, I was reading few things, but

    [00:16:59.690]
    seems it will pee in next releases.

    [00:17:01.870]
    It will not be in Peter that to do something

    [00:17:04.329]
    on our own inside that I help

    [00:17:07.140]
    to put our sports kind of service that we

    [00:17:09.220]
    need Teoh

    [00:17:11.039]
    get. Um,

    [00:17:13.039]
    So, yeah, this is something I

    [00:17:15.220]
    the team members is excited about,

    [00:17:17.309]
    But

    [00:17:18.440]
    it’s something we we need to check how

    [00:17:20.740]
    that will help us.

    [00:17:22.339]
    Yeah. So basically, you’re hoping that it will make

    [00:17:25.390]
    the integration on all of your projects

    [00:17:28.009]
    simpler to manage and implement.

    [00:17:30.630]
    Exactly. Yes, because the base layer

    [00:17:32.990]
    off our back and this will

    [00:17:35.019]
    be different from client to client.

    [00:17:38.140]
    Yeah, definitely.

    [00:17:39.740]
    So, um, you know,

    [00:17:41.869]
    got a question coming in here from, And

    [00:17:44.400]
    the question is, uh

    [00:17:46.140]
    yeah, all of you’re looking forward to all all of

    [00:17:48.150]
    these new features.

    [00:17:50.029]
    But how often do you actually

    [00:17:52.420]
    update your existing applications

    [00:17:55.140]
    to make use of all these new features.

    [00:17:58.390]
    Paul, if you I believe BYU

    [00:18:00.619]
    has a very large application

    [00:18:03.349]
    landscape. How do you deal with that?

    [00:18:05.940]
    Yeah, we have about

    [00:18:07.849]
    17 production systems today.

    [00:18:10.680]
    Um, so

    [00:18:12.349]
    updating it is quite important

    [00:18:14.740]
    to us.

    [00:18:15.700]
    Um, we haven’t mandated

    [00:18:17.789]
    it yet, so we’re talking to all of the different

    [00:18:19.930]
    teams, and we’re telling them that the best practice

    [00:18:22.180]
    in order for you to not

    [00:18:24.240]
    have a huge update project to do

    [00:18:26.380]
    in the future is trying to be

    [00:18:29.039]
    on the

    [00:18:31.339]
    next to latest version, if

    [00:18:33.519]
    possible. If you have to wait, you can.

    [00:18:35.910]
    You know, there’s no problem with staying on anything.

    [00:18:38.109]
    For example, in the eight Dato,

    [00:18:40.240]
    um, family, your range.

    [00:18:42.670]
    But my teams like to try

    [00:18:44.970]
    out than newest version. And,

    [00:18:47.549]
    um, let that sit for about a month or so.

    [00:18:49.829]
    And then we try to upgrade our all of our

    [00:18:52.400]
    production systems

    [00:18:54.289]
    within a few months.

    [00:18:55.670]
    Um, when you do it that

    [00:18:57.690]
    quickly,

    [00:18:58.710]
    the upgrade processes and isn’t

    [00:19:00.720]
    very tedious or time consuming,

    [00:19:03.420]
    But if you wait and you have to upgrade

    [00:19:05.609]
    one or more major versions, that’s

    [00:19:08.089]
    that’s gets to be a really hard thing to do.

    [00:19:11.740]
    Plus, you don’t get the benefit of all the new features and the

    [00:19:13.779]
    security enhancements, etcetera. So

    [00:19:16.039]
    Right, Right.

    [00:19:17.640]
    So Ah, nor one of your

    [00:19:19.779]
    favorite features that you mentioned was

    [00:19:22.000]
    workflow.

    [00:19:23.240]
    This is Ah, big thing.

    [00:19:26.299]
    And, you know, we have a question

    [00:19:28.559]
    coming in. What kind of work flows

    [00:19:30.950]
    would you not build with

    [00:19:33.029]
    BPM tool that you do think that you

    [00:19:35.089]
    would be able to build with

    [00:19:37.089]
    medics workflow?

    [00:19:38.940]
    Ah, yeah. This is, uh, since I’m

    [00:19:41.119]
    not tons on yet moment,

    [00:19:43.299]
    except

    [00:19:44.369]
    exactly so but, um

    [00:19:47.539]
    um,

    [00:19:49.240]
    it’s something that excited to see

    [00:19:51.450]
    work flows with, um, with

    [00:19:53.839]
    micro flows with non flows How these

    [00:19:56.430]
    three components will work with the pages.

    [00:19:58.670]
    What kind of I saw the demo

    [00:20:01.079]
    at, but ah, putting hands

    [00:20:03.180]
    on his different.

    [00:20:06.039]
    There are few things it could

    [00:20:08.039]
    be not replace, but as a

    [00:20:10.079]
    feature, like it’s working and

    [00:20:12.460]
    what we have now. But one

    [00:20:14.640]
    of our product is the back

    [00:20:17.039]
    we needed to ah declared with

    [00:20:19.150]
    a ppm engine from the back end

    [00:20:22.000]
    for special cases.

    [00:20:24.269]
    Exception management we needed

    [00:20:26.230]
    So

    [00:20:27.839]
    it could be something we can use

    [00:20:29.869]
    the work floor, but yeah,

    [00:20:31.900]
    that’s something we need

    [00:20:34.039]
    to replace with a workflow, so but

    [00:20:36.130]
    it will need some, Ah, studies

    [00:20:38.339]
    on my hands on to some boc

    [00:20:41.029]
    and see if, uh,

    [00:20:43.339]
    that will work. Yeah, but

    [00:20:46.000]
    that’s, um

    [00:20:47.309]
    even like our hr. What?

    [00:20:49.619]
    She wants something to enter time

    [00:20:51.650]
    sheet fast. Okay, we’ll have that.

    [00:20:53.869]
    Once we have the workflow index, I

    [00:20:55.960]
    will do the approval on vacation and

    [00:20:57.960]
    request,

    [00:20:59.480]
    so it will be too leveraged a few things,

    [00:21:02.819]
    and we can do in micro flows in a way,

    [00:21:05.190]
    but work flows and above a reassignment,

    [00:21:07.210]
    all of that

    [00:21:09.130]
    will be something.

    [00:21:10.950]
    And it makes it easier to brings it closer

    [00:21:12.990]
    to the actual experience

    [00:21:15.230]
    of how someone uses the application.

    [00:21:18.099]
    Exactly. Yeah, right.

    [00:21:20.140]
    Um So, Philip, you

    [00:21:22.140]
    mentioned that Siemens has a

    [00:21:24.160]
    lot of different sources and

    [00:21:26.319]
    that you’re looking forward to using medics data

    [00:21:28.599]
    to connect them. Can you name some of

    [00:21:30.680]
    those data sources that you’re,

    [00:21:32.859]
    uh, you’re already connecting

    [00:21:35.279]
    to and how difficult

    [00:21:37.349]
    or easy was it to integrate with

    [00:21:39.380]
    that? Okay,

    [00:21:41.740]
    um,

    [00:21:42.940]
    you have to see that from two perspectives.

    [00:21:45.549]
    How easy is it to connect with men? Dicks? And

    [00:21:47.599]
    the other one is how easy is it to actually go productive

    [00:21:50.069]
    with this system? Because there’s a lot

    [00:21:52.089]
    of governance processes on this, But

    [00:21:54.549]
    maybe just to name a few we’ve

    [00:21:56.660]
    connected s a p in various ways. We connected

    [00:21:59.009]
    it just through ah,

    [00:22:00.950]
    through a gateway with no data service.

    [00:22:03.440]
    Then we connected sap, Hana

    [00:22:06.210]
    just putting or data services on views

    [00:22:08.849]
    that worked out very well in the integration

    [00:22:10.980]
    was easy with the SAPI

    [00:22:13.099]
    module with the old data connector. That is

    [00:22:15.140]
    fairly simple. Once you’ve done it once,

    [00:22:17.700]
    um then we’ve connected team center,

    [00:22:20.059]
    which is our appeal m system product lifecycle

    [00:22:22.329]
    management.

    [00:22:23.369]
    And so we can get three D models into

    [00:22:25.460]
    medics there. Um, with the

    [00:22:27.839]
    with the connectors. We can’t use the standard connectors

    [00:22:30.029]
    because we have a highly customers system there.

    [00:22:33.240]
    Um, but still, we have interface.

    [00:22:35.460]
    He takes care of that.

    [00:22:37.339]
    And we’ve connected Oracle

    [00:22:39.470]
    data basis. My

    [00:22:41.950]
    sequel, sir. Servers we’ve

    [00:22:44.230]
    connected

    [00:22:45.539]
    also, mind sphere, I don’t know if this is

    [00:22:48.160]
    something that everybody knows about is a

    [00:22:50.180]
    seaman’s industry cloud where we use I.

    [00:22:52.640]
    They were used for i o t.

    [00:22:54.630]
    And we’ve connected that with MQ TT,

    [00:22:57.940]
    then also different rest ful services.

    [00:23:02.039]
    I know that someone has done something with with speech

    [00:23:04.380]
    to text, but I can’t keep up. Keep track of all

    [00:23:06.529]
    the use cases.

    [00:23:08.750]
    So you want to get once you get going,

    [00:23:11.150]
    you know, the ideas go very fast.

    [00:23:13.670]
    The thing is, it seized.

    [00:23:15.799]
    The bottleneck in this is not

    [00:23:17.880]
    Mannix. It’s easy to connect.

    [00:23:20.119]
    It’s easy to use the connectors. The bottleneck

    [00:23:22.369]
    with us is through the, um,

    [00:23:24.940]
    security assessments. It

    [00:23:26.960]
    is getting the firewalls viable,

    [00:23:29.849]
    rules implemented. It is getting

    [00:23:32.009]
    everybody on board to really

    [00:23:34.769]
    make their data accessible

    [00:23:37.039]
    because that can be something. People are the

    [00:23:39.599]
    sometimes the problem because they don’t want to give

    [00:23:41.750]
    out the data because there

    [00:23:43.430]
    that is the value they bring to the company. And they

    [00:23:45.519]
    want to keep track on who

    [00:23:47.640]
    who can get their data and they wouldn’t

    [00:23:49.900]
    want to charge internally.

    [00:23:52.039]
    So that is something that is politics within

    [00:23:54.130]
    the corporation that you maybe

    [00:23:56.329]
    won’t have in a smaller,

    [00:23:57.839]
    um, company. And that has nothing to do with men.

    [00:23:59.930]
    Knicks itself.

    [00:24:01.509]
    Usually we’re done with the connection we contested

    [00:24:03.829]
    locally. That is one of the great things with men Mexican

    [00:24:05.920]
    just tested locally on your own PC.

    [00:24:08.450]
    If it’s

    [00:24:09.450]
    connected within the firewalls

    [00:24:11.640]
    and then you just have to wait for the other,

    [00:24:13.670]
    the other processes.

    [00:24:15.240]
    Right? Right.

    [00:24:17.230]
    So Ah,

    [00:24:18.259]
    I’ve got another question coming in, and this

    [00:24:20.440]
    is this one’s for you, Paul.

    [00:24:22.460]
    This is about the university and Andrew

    [00:24:24.730]
    students.

    [00:24:25.839]
    You know, medics is so accessible. And

    [00:24:27.930]
    I know that you’re doing you know, you’re helping students,

    [00:24:30.309]
    and you’re doing, uh, meet ups as well.

    [00:24:32.440]
    Virtual meetups now,

    [00:24:34.140]
    to give people, you know, students a chance

    [00:24:36.230]
    to learn from each other and demo things.

    [00:24:39.140]
    Um,

    [00:24:40.240]
    but question is, will you allow students

    [00:24:42.289]
    to develop applications so they can

    [00:24:44.289]
    automate their own life? Especially

    [00:24:46.349]
    the new announcements? Things become much easier.

    [00:24:48.940]
    Um,

    [00:24:50.319]
    do students

    [00:24:51.650]
    build help build production APS

    [00:24:53.849]
    Do they have access to those? Resource

    [00:24:56.230]
    is, or how does that work?

    [00:24:58.539]
    Great question.

    [00:24:59.880]
    Um, medics actually provides.

    [00:25:02.470]
    Ah, lot of free resource is for people

    [00:25:04.660]
    to use today that

    [00:25:07.039]
    you know the way you doesn’t even have to pay for.

    [00:25:09.150]
    So what we tell the students today

    [00:25:11.250]
    is use um,

    [00:25:13.440]
    you know, Senate for a free medics account on hold

    [00:25:15.619]
    up medics dot com,

    [00:25:17.240]
    use studio pro or studio to develop

    [00:25:19.500]
    your application, and then you can deploy it to

    [00:25:21.759]
    the free version of medics cloud.

    [00:25:23.839]
    And you have everything you need there

    [00:25:25.839]
    in order to automate your own personal

    [00:25:28.269]
    processes. If you’d like Teoh

    [00:25:30.910]
    work on a production system

    [00:25:33.019]
    than you need to

    [00:25:34.259]
    be on a team that that has

    [00:25:36.329]
    a production system on their road map

    [00:25:38.539]
    that manages it,

    [00:25:40.319]
    there’s a lot more that goes along with a production

    [00:25:42.769]
    system in terms of long term Ain’t mints,

    [00:25:44.819]
    etcetera

    [00:25:45.880]
    that you need more than just developers

    [00:25:48.210]
    in order to maintain any new product unders to project

    [00:25:50.670]
    managers who need

    [00:25:52.039]
    you, I specialists, etcetera.

    [00:25:54.299]
    Um, so

    [00:25:57.200]
    if they’re interested in making production, APs, we

    [00:25:59.349]
    welcome them. Teoh sign up for one

    [00:26:01.410]
    of the jobs

    [00:26:02.589]
    that we have for all of the students to

    [00:26:04.609]
    work on our production and accepts. There’s

    [00:26:06.930]
    a lot of those as well,

    [00:26:08.880]
    Excellent. That’s that’s really great to see. They

    [00:26:10.890]
    give them that opportunity, and if it’s a good

    [00:26:13.109]
    enough, then, yeah, you’re gonna

    [00:26:15.140]
    go ahead with that. That’s great De Fisher.

    [00:26:18.039]
    Now we’ve talked a lot about data hub

    [00:26:20.309]
    and workflow, but there’s a lot more right.

    [00:26:23.000]
    One of the things you mentioned Philip was

    [00:26:25.079]
    Ah, I think you pull. And both you

    [00:26:28.420]
    mentioned get support.

    [00:26:30.839]
    Um, this is a big thing. I was

    [00:26:33.019]
    watching the life chats and everyone went

    [00:26:35.119]
    nuts when get get was mentioned.

    [00:26:37.730]
    Ah,

    [00:26:39.140]
    what’s so great about this?

    [00:26:42.440]
    Do you wanna start, Philip?

    [00:26:44.009]
    Sure. Um

    [00:26:45.700]
    I mean, first of

    [00:26:47.700]
    all, we have ah, working

    [00:26:49.710]
    large and scalable gets

    [00:26:51.829]
    instance in our company that were already using.

    [00:26:54.400]
    So usually the

    [00:26:55.819]
    what we have to use is this one.

    [00:26:58.170]
    And so far, we couldn’t use it with men

    [00:27:00.220]
    dicks because, well, there was no support for it. So

    [00:27:02.640]
    maybe our cloud platform specialists

    [00:27:05.130]
    are going to connect us with

    [00:27:07.740]
    without platform now, which is great

    [00:27:10.009]
    for from a governance point of view

    [00:27:12.140]
    also, I mean, the performance of get

    [00:27:14.289]
    It’s just so much better. It’s,

    [00:27:17.039]
    I suppose that is going to be faster to

    [00:27:19.119]
    deploy. Um

    [00:27:20.740]
    and

    [00:27:21.650]
    I’ve I’ve said to people who have been

    [00:27:23.869]
    you with medics

    [00:27:25.740]
    we should be careful with the merging.

    [00:27:27.829]
    We have to do that together because

    [00:27:30.720]
    this is where the most errors and conflicts are

    [00:27:32.769]
    going to happen.

    [00:27:34.579]
    And

    [00:27:36.829]
    in every project, at some point you’re going to have

    [00:27:38.920]
    a conflict that you have to you have to open the

    [00:27:40.940]
    tortoise spn and then it’s, um it

    [00:27:42.970]
    Zwiers them.

    [00:27:44.299]
    It’s just not that user friendly is arrested

    [00:27:46.599]
    and as user friendly as the rest of medics

    [00:27:49.240]
    and with especially with the

    [00:27:52.539]
    the merge conflict resolution on

    [00:27:54.660]
    attribute level in the domain model or in

    [00:27:56.660]
    the micro flows and everything

    [00:27:58.849]
    that will make it just

    [00:28:00.519]
    much faster. And I think we’re going to

    [00:28:03.190]
    have a lot of fun with it.

    [00:28:05.740]
    Yeah, I don’t know that. Especially the performance

    [00:28:08.430]
    enhancements with get,

    [00:28:10.339]
    um, being able Teoh. I don’t know if it’s going

    [00:28:12.410]
    to commit locally, like is normal

    [00:28:14.460]
    with git or if you’re just gonna do a

    [00:28:16.500]
    automatic local commit and then a push.

    [00:28:19.029]
    But, um, in either case, I

    [00:28:21.099]
    think we’ll see some speed ups over sir

    [00:28:23.160]
    versions of virgins.

    [00:28:25.039]
    Feels like it.

    [00:28:26.359]
    The more files you put into it, the slower against.

    [00:28:28.819]
    Obviously that’ll happen with get us well, but I think

    [00:28:30.990]
    the speed at which it slows down

    [00:28:33.339]
    if that makes any sense, will be less.

    [00:28:35.539]
    Um, yeah, the volume. You’ll also see

    [00:28:37.589]
    that is, uh well,

    [00:28:39.779]
    the element level conflict resolution,

    [00:28:41.990]
    which I’m assuming it was easier

    [00:28:44.099]
    to implement because of get,

    [00:28:45.769]
    um would be

    [00:28:47.789]
    will be a huge benefit for us as well.

    [00:28:50.410]
    We also have a

    [00:28:52.450]
    A, um,

    [00:28:53.740]
    not only and BYU wide, but

    [00:28:56.009]
    beware is part of a system called the Church Educational

    [00:28:58.420]
    System. And we have sister schools as

    [00:29:00.480]
    well. So sometimes we we

    [00:29:02.759]
    have systems that we purchase altogether.

    [00:29:04.799]
    And in this case, we’ve purchased

    [00:29:07.359]
    get hope. So we have a get up enterprise

    [00:29:09.410]
    license that we all use

    [00:29:11.240]
    and that, um,

    [00:29:14.240]
    will allow us to benefit

    [00:29:16.309]
    to put all the medics things into all of the processes

    [00:29:18.779]
    that are already embedded in the gift.

    [00:29:20.789]
    Um, systems that have repositories

    [00:29:23.259]
    and get so

    [00:29:24.450]
    excited to

    [00:29:26.140]
    allow us to take advantage

    [00:29:28.140]
    of those just like all the other custom built systems.

    [00:29:31.339]
    Excellent.

    [00:29:32.339]
    Yeah, I think it opened up. Simply

    [00:29:34.500]
    opens up more opportunities, right. Makes the developers

    [00:29:36.559]
    life easier.

    [00:29:38.089]
    Um, so nor I have a question

    [00:29:40.430]
    for you.

    [00:29:41.509]
    Uh, in his keynote. Yo, one was talking about

    [00:29:44.210]
    medics assist. And now the new medics

    [00:29:46.630]
    assist. Performance bought.

    [00:29:49.359]
    Are is ever truly using

    [00:29:51.549]
    that in development. Are are you using those

    [00:29:53.589]
    kind of bots and ai

    [00:29:55.700]
    assistance

    [00:29:56.859]
    in your development projects?

    [00:29:59.930]
    So, yeah, we use them

    [00:30:02.150]
    in some level, But what

    [00:30:04.289]
    I read the

    [00:30:05.509]
    I watch a little bit from the demo after

    [00:30:07.619]
    the keynote.

    [00:30:08.769]
    One of the things that we faced on one

    [00:30:10.930]
    of them index versions was some slowness

    [00:30:13.089]
    happening on

    [00:30:14.450]
    when we turned the i e. On

    [00:30:16.950]
    but the Yeah,

    [00:30:19.440]
    this is something good that now we

    [00:30:21.670]
    we can know from the I,

    [00:30:23.859]
    um, the performance on

    [00:30:26.029]
    and

    [00:30:27.069]
    it’s already solved. So, yeah, I’m

    [00:30:29.190]
    looking forward to check that because

    [00:30:31.279]
    before Mrs some, it’s a key for

    [00:30:33.569]
    the success of the project on

    [00:30:35.670]
    we pay attention would be built our

    [00:30:37.819]
    project that it’s

    [00:30:39.619]
    yes, working on 10 user,

    [00:30:41.730]
    but it’s need to work at the same level

    [00:30:44.009]
    for ah, 1000

    [00:30:46.650]
    user at the same time. So

    [00:30:48.900]
    this is something

    [00:30:50.579]
    it’s always the customer also

    [00:30:52.930]
    or the plant. Um,

    [00:30:55.539]
    it’s important key to the success of

    [00:30:57.630]
    the project.

    [00:30:58.940]
    Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And,

    [00:31:01.019]
    um, you know all these all this automation

    [00:31:03.490]
    and abstraction also makes it easier for

    [00:31:06.109]
    less technical people to join

    [00:31:08.470]
    the development.

    [00:31:09.640]
    And, you know, in the past year,

    [00:31:12.130]
    we’ve been talking a lot about citizen development.

    [00:31:15.240]
    Is that something that a

    [00:31:17.240]
    virtue is also doing? Sorry. Involving

    [00:31:19.279]
    more business people into

    [00:31:21.349]
    your development projects,

    [00:31:23.640]
    So yeah,

    [00:31:24.920]
    at some level now. Yeah, a lot of

    [00:31:27.049]
    product owners. Now they are interested

    [00:31:29.400]
    to make some changes on some level.

    [00:31:32.180]
    We are fine, um,

    [00:31:34.640]
    to let them to build a future by

    [00:31:36.839]
    its own. It’s good

    [00:31:40.039]
    we talk,

    [00:31:40.930]
    even the q A like everyone in

    [00:31:42.990]
    a virtual gnome index, like even finance,

    [00:31:45.579]
    which are so all

    [00:31:47.930]
    of us, Um, we know

    [00:31:50.079]
    we speak the same language with B o

    [00:31:52.519]
    ridicule with business. What’s

    [00:31:54.549]
    micro floored? Spatial What domain

    [00:31:56.920]
    model. So this is something good?

    [00:31:59.019]
    Um Onda We

    [00:32:01.589]
    are looking forward for the p

    [00:32:03.660]
    o, the product owners or business

    [00:32:06.390]
    to be more involved in our

    [00:32:08.420]
    next future product on

    [00:32:10.460]
    to be more hands on. But because

    [00:32:12.500]
    of time, sometimes, like, they barely

    [00:32:14.720]
    have time to do their job, do

    [00:32:16.799]
    our job. So but yeah, this is something.

    [00:32:19.240]
    But when you speak, we speak the same language,

    [00:32:21.779]
    right? Yeah, I think I think that kind

    [00:32:23.839]
    of goes back toe. What Philip said earlier

    [00:32:26.720]
    in a lot of cases is the people who have

    [00:32:28.829]
    to get used to a different process in a different

    [00:32:30.940]
    way of working.

    [00:32:32.140]
    And once you understand that

    [00:32:34.289]
    once you have the common understanding

    [00:32:36.420]
    it makes, it makes things so much easier

    [00:32:39.099]
    to get done because you understand what

    [00:32:41.109]
    you’re expecting from each other

    [00:32:42.650]
    on how far you can go, right?

    [00:32:46.380]
    Eso

    [00:32:47.940]
    Philip, you mentioned that medics on edge

    [00:32:50.470]
    is

    [00:32:51.319]
    in one of your top three. Um,

    [00:32:54.329]
    but no one else mentioned this. Why

    [00:32:56.450]
    is medics on edge so important for

    [00:32:58.450]
    you? And, uh, your

    [00:33:00.980]
    seaman’s at the seams applications

    [00:33:02.990]
    that you’re building?

    [00:33:04.740]
    I think the easy answer to this question is

    [00:33:06.869]
    because we produce stuff

    [00:33:08.839]
    and we have a lot off a lot of

    [00:33:10.880]
    machines and a lot of data that comes from them.

    [00:33:12.920]
    And we don’t know what to make from it.

    [00:33:14.970]
    Of course, we can get the overall effectiveness

    [00:33:17.019]
    off machine

    [00:33:19.269]
    or off our production lines. We can get

    [00:33:21.380]
    that from us from several sensors.

    [00:33:24.039]
    Okay, But we don’t really

    [00:33:26.150]
    If we want to go into a mode

    [00:33:28.339]
    where we learn from our data and

    [00:33:30.670]
    not only analyze that we really want to learn

    [00:33:32.849]
    from it and go from

    [00:33:34.130]
    just descriptive too prescriptive,

    [00:33:36.789]
    and maybe just to

    [00:33:38.650]
    avoid failures before they come.

    [00:33:40.940]
    That is something that we cannot do ourselves.

    [00:33:43.000]
    We have to do this using AI

    [00:33:45.240]
    at some point,

    [00:33:46.839]
    and we’re already doing this in smaller scales.

    [00:33:49.839]
    Um,

    [00:33:51.039]
    but always for single machines,

    [00:33:53.640]
    if you want to do that scale that up,

    [00:33:56.440]
    you cannot do that in a single in a single

    [00:33:58.599]
    machine. But you also don’t want to

    [00:34:00.700]
    have this in. Ah ah,

    [00:34:02.950]
    high code

    [00:34:04.339]
    environment for all eternity.

    [00:34:06.910]
    Because in the end, this is going to

    [00:34:08.949]
    become a normal use case for us that

    [00:34:11.050]
    has to be accessible not only for

    [00:34:13.449]
    the

    [00:34:14.739]
    four or five specialists within the

    [00:34:16.760]
    company, but it has to be accessible for

    [00:34:18.860]
    the citizen developers as well.

    [00:34:20.840]
    So right, if we want to.

    [00:34:22.860]
    If we want to process all this data,

    [00:34:24.949]
    we need to have a good edge management

    [00:34:27.219]
    system we need to have,

    [00:34:29.469]
    um we need to make it easy

    [00:34:31.559]
    to really

    [00:34:34.340]
    read this data and process

    [00:34:36.389]
    it and connected to other machines.

    [00:34:38.500]
    We have to make it easy to create models

    [00:34:40.820]
    ai models on on the edge

    [00:34:42.940]
    devices.

    [00:34:44.039]
    And all this is possible right now. You could do

    [00:34:46.159]
    it with python if you want to.

    [00:34:48.139]
    Um, And in the end, maybe for some

    [00:34:50.440]
    self, you will. But for the management

    [00:34:52.829]
    off, all this

    [00:34:54.289]
    medics would be the perfect solution.

    [00:34:56.590]
    And the sooner we start, the sooner we get

    [00:34:58.750]
    everybody used to the same platform,

    [00:35:01.340]
    the sooner we will really reap the benefits

    [00:35:03.369]
    of this. So

    [00:35:05.480]
    I’m sure that the others didn’t

    [00:35:07.599]
    mention that because they have completely different focus.

    [00:35:10.539]
    But

    [00:35:11.539]
    I think men nexus is conquering the

    [00:35:13.539]
    industrial world at some point, and it’s already

    [00:35:15.719]
    starting. And we have so many people

    [00:35:18.090]
    interested in. The topic is only in the

    [00:35:20.130]
    factory in a long and in southern Germany.

    [00:35:22.659]
    Um, we’re starting Ah,

    [00:35:24.780]
    medics learning journey now and 40

    [00:35:26.820]
    people have

    [00:35:29.039]
    have registered for that and they are

    [00:35:31.159]
    going to

    [00:35:32.079]
    learn and self study now and then. We’ll have a lion

    [00:35:34.210]
    stand with people with people from I t judging.

    [00:35:36.230]
    They use cases and there will prepare for them for

    [00:35:38.250]
    a hackathon. So this is something with during with the

    [00:35:40.349]
    businesses, all citizen development,

    [00:35:42.710]
    all in the industrial environment. So it’s

    [00:35:44.949]
    just yeah,

    [00:35:47.239]
    and just for context.

    [00:35:49.739]
    It sounds like you’ve been working with medics

    [00:35:51.780]
    for years and years. Um,

    [00:35:54.840]
    can you can you burst that

    [00:35:56.949]
    bubble for me? How long you

    [00:35:58.980]
    guys been working with medics and setting up a Minnix

    [00:36:01.099]
    team? We started working

    [00:36:03.369]
    on it in

    [00:36:04.460]
    June of last year.

    [00:36:07.130]
    Wow. So within a year

    [00:36:10.070]
    and a couple of months, you’ve got 17

    [00:36:12.309]
    production APS

    [00:36:13.789]
    is that is mad. That

    [00:36:15.940]
    is insane

    [00:36:17.230]
    and awesome. Obviously,

    [00:36:19.230]
    it’s been a fun journey.

    [00:36:21.889]
    So what about you, Philip?

    [00:36:23.880]
    I started with medics in

    [00:36:26.079]
    I think January last year

    [00:36:28.630]
    just start out with this small use case.

    [00:36:30.920]
    And, um,

    [00:36:32.730]
    there was fairly new to cements because

    [00:36:35.150]
    the announcement was, I think in November that we bought

    [00:36:38.530]
    that that mandates was bought by Siemens,

    [00:36:40.889]
    and we didn’t really know what to do with it yet.

    [00:36:43.380]
    And we just started out and had small use

    [00:36:45.409]
    case connecting some stuff. And, um,

    [00:36:48.530]
    it’s been an interesting journey so far because

    [00:36:51.699]
    some people are still doubting that

    [00:36:54.110]
    Mannix is going to be a big part

    [00:36:56.170]
    of the company, and more and more

    [00:36:58.369]
    people are just

    [00:36:59.849]
    slowly adapting it. So it’s more a revolution

    [00:37:02.440]
    from from below,

    [00:37:04.809]
    right? One of years.

    [00:37:07.329]
    Such a small, small time period. And

    [00:37:09.489]
    you have been able to achieve so much.

    [00:37:11.670]
    Um,

    [00:37:12.650]
    I’ll get back to that, by the way. But I have

    [00:37:14.690]
    a question for Nor so you say that everybody

    [00:37:17.090]
    speaks medics.

    [00:37:18.409]
    They speak the same language.

    [00:37:20.119]
    What is the difference? This brings

    [00:37:22.369]
    compared to,

    [00:37:24.130]
    uh,

    [00:37:25.329]
    you know, before you were using men dicks,

    [00:37:27.829]
    how would you, you know,

    [00:37:30.030]
    build APS and communicate

    [00:37:32.130]
    So in my from my previous

    [00:37:34.460]
    loco tp. I’m glad for me. Uh,

    [00:37:36.809]
    okay, so, um, I think

    [00:37:39.019]
    the culture is different now. Um,

    [00:37:42.130]
    before when I started 2011

    [00:37:44.650]
    I’m not at all, but yeah, we

    [00:37:46.690]
    started 2011 with a visi. Um

    [00:37:49.429]
    um,

    [00:37:50.730]
    people was not that interest

    [00:37:52.909]
    Teoh

    [00:37:54.730]
    to be in BPM or what’s ppm.

    [00:37:57.079]
    It was, like maybe to like

    [00:37:59.449]
    especially in the area, like

    [00:38:02.349]
    maybe three companies to companies like

    [00:38:04.550]
    WorldCom ppm tools

    [00:38:06.320]
    on

    [00:38:09.019]
    even the people that working

    [00:38:11.519]
    on the traditional coding, they find

    [00:38:13.579]
    it hard maybe to move

    [00:38:15.789]
    the b m or why I need to move.

    [00:38:18.070]
    Or but now this is a changing.

    [00:38:20.289]
    I think the world

    [00:38:21.719]
    four years ago, since four years ago

    [00:38:23.900]
    it’s changing people

    [00:38:25.619]
    taking the local platform in

    [00:38:28.030]
    different level. I can. I’m happy to see

    [00:38:31.070]
    the local blood from concept is now

    [00:38:33.130]
    accessible, acceptable by

    [00:38:35.440]
    maybe

    [00:38:36.429]
    traditional coding. But they were talking a java

    [00:38:38.730]
    to work on local

    [00:38:40.920]
    on because

    [00:38:42.719]
    also you will have the same experience like you will have

    [00:38:44.800]
    the experience to gain new skills,

    [00:38:47.519]
    and maybe it will work on some customization.

    [00:38:50.239]
    Maybe it’s even so. It’s not just,

    [00:38:53.000]
    ah,

    [00:38:54.599]
    it’s fast, fast development

    [00:38:56.610]
    maintained on the culture

    [00:38:58.699]
    is different

    [00:39:00.119]
    on DA people now is

    [00:39:02.329]
    ah veterans different? So

    [00:39:05.320]
    we Yeah, we didn’t.

    [00:39:08.820]
    It was not completely shifted

    [00:39:10.989]
    from

    [00:39:12.170]
    another platform. Two men

    [00:39:14.400]
    dicks, right years ago?

    [00:39:16.010]
    Yeah, with Verster. I was I started.

    [00:39:18.190]
    I didn’t know Minnix

    [00:39:21.300]
    before. Ever. Tra So, Umberto,

    [00:39:23.639]
    on our see Oprah ships Iranian Matt

    [00:39:27.159]
    Engineering measurement, then yes,

    [00:39:29.719]
    as they want this split this

    [00:39:31.989]
    language across all the breeze or

    [00:39:34.130]
    department.

    [00:39:35.420]
    So this is

    [00:39:36.650]
    this is the difference is how you want

    [00:39:38.949]
    to spread this

    [00:39:40.820]
    to um please, Do you want to be in a specific

    [00:39:43.150]
    department or because

    [00:39:45.269]
    the the point

    [00:39:47.360]
    of flow code

    [00:39:48.690]
    is for people to speak the same thing?

    [00:39:51.420]
    If I were working, going traditional

    [00:39:53.460]
    language? No, I don’t know. What is the class?

    [00:39:55.900]
    What’s abstract? Her function.

    [00:39:58.269]
    We thought when you said this to be Oh

    [00:40:00.659]
    Ah, But when you talk will

    [00:40:02.949]
    be about entity. This microphone would not

    [00:40:05.090]
    be that way. This feature will be different.

    [00:40:07.820]
    This is why it’s gonna be done this way. It

    [00:40:10.119]
    will be done this way. They will

    [00:40:12.210]
    stand what you are seeing.

    [00:40:13.909]
    So this is the difference

    [00:40:16.130]
    between

    [00:40:17.510]
    my best, um, like companies.

    [00:40:20.110]
    Maybe on between a

    [00:40:22.130]
    Vectra and how we

    [00:40:24.449]
    were focusing on everyone.

    [00:40:26.610]
    Do you know, um,

    [00:40:28.610]
    what you are working for? Because this product is

    [00:40:30.639]
    not religious. Off department is

    [00:40:32.900]
    all right. It’s a company. Yeah,

    [00:40:35.409]
    yeah, yeah. You’re making a company wide

    [00:40:37.639]
    decision to to use this. So

    [00:40:39.820]
    it is very interesting because that

    [00:40:43.099]
    make me think of you, Paul, when you said,

    [00:40:45.369]
    you know, we’re trying to reduce

    [00:40:47.610]
    fifteens tax to to

    [00:40:50.579]
    I can imagine that in, you know, in

    [00:40:52.599]
    your setting in university, in a huge

    [00:40:55.900]
    organization

    [00:40:57.489]
    that might not

    [00:40:59.519]
    have bean as easy as it just sounds

    [00:41:01.789]
    right in the year just over a year.

    [00:41:03.909]
    What kind of

    [00:41:05.190]
    things that you run into

    [00:41:07.730]
    when you propose this. Let’s reduce

    [00:41:10.039]
    everything.

    [00:41:11.210]
    What did that look like?

    [00:41:13.110]
    Well, we’re definitely not there yet.

    [00:41:15.289]
    Just the fact that we brought in Minnix has helped

    [00:41:17.659]
    because it gives,

    [00:41:19.059]
    um, not only the central I t department,

    [00:41:21.510]
    but other departments on campus who have development

    [00:41:23.699]
    resource is, and there are a significant number,

    [00:41:26.710]
    an option that is supported by

    [00:41:28.880]
    the whole university instead of just some

    [00:41:31.210]
    open source language of their choice.

    [00:41:33.940]
    The way we got to where we were was because,

    [00:41:36.300]
    um there wasn’t a university

    [00:41:38.489]
    wide platform for people

    [00:41:40.719]
    to use, so they just picked whatever

    [00:41:42.849]
    they could.

    [00:41:44.030]
    They have limited budgets, so they often picked

    [00:41:46.130]
    open source tooling sets and stacks,

    [00:41:49.219]
    and they often pick different ones from each

    [00:41:51.280]
    other. Sometimes

    [00:41:53.260]
    they had students often times they have students

    [00:41:55.260]
    developing on it, which is great.

    [00:41:57.739]
    But the downside to that sometimes is that

    [00:41:59.789]
    if they’re not careful, those students graduate

    [00:42:01.889]
    and then other people

    [00:42:03.500]
    don’t maintain it as well. So the

    [00:42:05.559]
    Central 80 department has to take time to help

    [00:42:07.570]
    fix security vulnerabilities in that type of

    [00:42:09.639]
    thing. So

    [00:42:12.489]
    we’re definitely still in middle of the

    [00:42:14.539]
    process and the journey.

    [00:42:16.500]
    Um,

    [00:42:17.500]
    but medics has proven so

    [00:42:19.630]
    far

    [00:42:20.750]
    to be

    [00:42:22.099]
    a reliable platform and one

    [00:42:24.119]
    that is more productive than you see then

    [00:42:26.159]
    we’ve had in the past. So, so far,

    [00:42:28.320]
    so good. Excellent.

    [00:42:30.760]
    Yeah, and, ah,

    [00:42:32.889]
    I could imagine that if you know,

    [00:42:34.920]
    especially university, you’ll see dozens

    [00:42:37.349]
    and dozens of tools

    [00:42:39.110]
    passed you by every year. You know, they

    [00:42:41.519]
    will pop up left and right, and people like, Hey,

    [00:42:43.639]
    this is the best thing ever. Let’s use

    [00:42:45.639]
    this. How in that jungle?

    [00:42:48.679]
    Exactly. Yeah, how

    [00:42:50.909]
    how that jungle of available

    [00:42:53.250]
    applications and open source tooling.

    [00:42:55.900]
    How did you end up

    [00:42:57.320]
    with medics?

    [00:42:59.500]
    Uh, it took us about

    [00:43:02.000]
    seven months

    [00:43:03.690]
    to

    [00:43:05.099]
    talk to all of Thea.

    [00:43:06.900]
    The big Gartner and Forrester

    [00:43:09.190]
    groups figure out the landscape

    [00:43:11.900]
    we went through a You can look at my

    [00:43:13.960]
    talk for an in depth my other session

    [00:43:16.119]
    in medics world for an in depth discussion of this.

    [00:43:18.309]
    But we

    [00:43:19.300]
    pulled in all the vendors who seemed promising

    [00:43:21.900]
    and asked them to build a nap in front of us

    [00:43:23.960]
    in two hours. That took us three months to build,

    [00:43:26.230]
    or at least most of the app.

    [00:43:28.099]
    Only three of the vendors

    [00:43:29.570]
    could do it in that time while we watched.

    [00:43:31.900]
    So medics was one of them. And then

    [00:43:33.929]
    we Then we tried out each of those three platforms

    [00:43:36.539]
    and eventually decided on Vendex with

    [00:43:39.099]
    a lot of other considerations

    [00:43:41.190]
    on a lot of discussions

    [00:43:44.050]
    inside of BYU. Outside of the way, you

    [00:43:46.099]
    with other people who used the other platforms.

    [00:43:48.639]
    It was

    [00:43:49.630]
    it took a long time,

    [00:43:51.650]
    but I feel like the due diligence

    [00:43:53.980]
    that we did has allowed us to

    [00:43:56.139]
    pick a platform

    [00:43:57.449]
    that will work better

    [00:43:59.579]
    than the other platforms would have. So I would

    [00:44:01.880]
    recommend to anybody who’s looking into

    [00:44:04.039]
    a low code platform. Take the time

    [00:44:06.110]
    yet worlds. I needed to make a

    [00:44:08.139]
    good decision and you won’t be sorry you did,

    [00:44:10.789]
    because it’ll take forever to

    [00:44:13.190]
    switch to another platform. You know,

    [00:44:15.489]
    um, and and rebuild all the applications

    [00:44:17.900]
    that you’re building in it. So

    [00:44:19.590]
    that’s why I’m trying to

    [00:44:21.690]
    Yeah, it’s better to take your time. They go through a rush

    [00:44:23.780]
    job and be sorry

    [00:44:26.230]
    at the at the end here because

    [00:44:28.460]
    I could imagine that it’s ah,

    [00:44:30.190]
    it’s easier to make a quick decision in a

    [00:44:32.219]
    fast moving

    [00:44:33.590]
    industry like this. Ah, age

    [00:44:35.610]
    like this.

    [00:44:36.789]
    Um

    [00:44:37.789]
    So Philip question for

    [00:44:39.789]
    you is e. Guess it’s similar

    [00:44:42.039]
    in such a large organization.

    [00:44:44.590]
    A seaman’s

    [00:44:46.590]
    you said, You know, you just started out and

    [00:44:48.809]
    tried some medic stuff.

    [00:44:51.260]
    Is it? Was it that simple? How

    [00:44:53.829]
    how can you,

    [00:44:55.139]
    in such a huge organization,

    [00:44:57.590]
    get medics

    [00:44:58.889]
    on there and say we’re going to

    [00:45:00.940]
    start up a team?

    [00:45:02.070]
    We’re gonna We’re actually going to be building stuff now

    [00:45:04.210]
    for you guys. How does that

    [00:45:06.300]
    work? I mean, I’m sure it’s more complicated than that.

    [00:45:09.440]
    It’s not that simple, but,

    [00:45:11.619]
    um,

    [00:45:12.550]
    we have one advantage in that is was

    [00:45:14.619]
    sitting at the source because

    [00:45:17.070]
    it is free for us

    [00:45:18.480]
    and we can just start out and I’m in

    [00:45:20.500]
    I t. So we have a lot

    [00:45:22.639]
    of requirements that come our way

    [00:45:24.590]
    and it’s just started out with something simple.

    [00:45:26.960]
    And we knew that this could be done with Bendix,

    [00:45:29.289]
    and we knew we just wanted to try it out, and

    [00:45:31.380]
    in the end we would have been able to

    [00:45:33.630]
    to maintain this this and operate

    [00:45:35.800]
    a single application without any

    [00:45:37.869]
    problems, even if we didn’t

    [00:45:39.639]
    decide from Index to go as

    [00:45:41.780]
    to to go from index as a whole

    [00:45:43.809]
    platform.

    [00:45:45.250]
    And in the end, there’s a huge support

    [00:45:47.619]
    in the company. We have AH Cloud Team who

    [00:45:49.650]
    had takes care of the platform for us, so we don’t

    [00:45:51.800]
    have to take care of anything there. We just

    [00:45:53.860]
    have to order the instance.

    [00:45:55.590]
    We have a nap factory that takes

    [00:45:57.789]
    care off applications for the whole company.

    [00:46:00.050]
    We’re about to build up a nap factory,

    [00:46:02.389]
    not an at factory, but

    [00:46:03.920]
    like a small development team within the business unit.

    [00:46:06.929]
    Um, we can we have access

    [00:46:09.039]
    to resources.

    [00:46:11.670]
    We have people working working

    [00:46:13.920]
    with Mendez for us different

    [00:46:16.139]
    parts of Europe and also in different parts

    [00:46:18.360]
    of Asia.

    [00:46:19.780]
    So there’s a huge support. We have a lot of people

    [00:46:21.989]
    who can work with medics and who can

    [00:46:24.010]
    get started with medics right away.

    [00:46:26.219]
    So that made it easier.

    [00:46:28.429]
    In this case again, the difficult thing is

    [00:46:30.550]
    people because, um,

    [00:46:33.579]
    people in the business, they want to get started with mandates.

    [00:46:35.880]
    And then they see it’s not that simple because

    [00:46:38.170]
    we have some things we need. There

    [00:46:40.269]
    are best practices and you can just started

    [00:46:42.469]
    within five minutes. You have your application.

    [00:46:44.579]
    It’s still going to be faster than with other means.

    [00:46:47.230]
    That is not five minutes,

    [00:46:48.800]
    and then we also have people within I t.

    [00:46:51.679]
    Who have experience in other platforms, and

    [00:46:53.769]
    they’ve been working well with it.

    [00:46:55.500]
    So you get resistance is from all sides,

    [00:46:58.780]
    say the business. They say it’s not

    [00:47:00.880]
    that fast and in I t they say

    [00:47:02.989]
    it’s not as fast as the things we’ve

    [00:47:05.070]
    been working with. Why should I re skill?

    [00:47:07.929]
    Right, Right. So

    [00:47:09.880]
    the support from the top management helped

    [00:47:12.070]
    and just keeping on,

    [00:47:14.150]
    um, convincing people in trusting

    [00:47:16.550]
    people that they can do it and that they can

    [00:47:19.280]
    um, develop abstinent themselves.

    [00:47:22.190]
    That helped to just

    [00:47:24.280]
    come close to critical mass because at some

    [00:47:26.480]
    point, people cannot ignore

    [00:47:28.500]
    it anymore. If you have, like, 100 citizen

    [00:47:30.809]
    developers somewhere just sitting and you can’t

    [00:47:33.170]
    support them because you don’t have to capacities

    [00:47:35.409]
    within i t.

    [00:47:36.780]
    And that makes it easier at some point for

    [00:47:38.820]
    people to just say Okay, just do it.

    [00:47:40.880]
    Keep going with Bendix. You’re right here on

    [00:47:42.980]
    the right trick.

    [00:47:44.280]
    So for sure. Yeah, it took

    [00:47:46.429]
    a lot of perseverance that took a lot off

    [00:47:49.480]
    time and convincing on all sides,

    [00:47:51.849]
    but you had to just

    [00:47:54.380]
    stick to it. Just just keep going.

    [00:47:57.480]
    Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, it’s

    [00:47:59.639]
    paying off, right? So that people are seeing the

    [00:48:01.670]
    results.

    [00:48:02.869]
    Um, it’s

    [00:48:04.889]
    kind of funny, I think. Two years ago,

    [00:48:07.170]
    I did an interview with,

    [00:48:09.769]
    um someone who used to be a nab

    [00:48:12.039]
    up developer for 13 years,

    [00:48:14.079]
    right Recipe. Abbott

    [00:48:15.570]
    and, um,

    [00:48:17.570]
    he switched the men dicks, and he

    [00:48:19.840]
    was over the moon

    [00:48:21.050]
    like Wow, didn’t I didn’t know stuff could be

    [00:48:23.159]
    this easy.

    [00:48:24.199]
    Um, now,

    [00:48:26.170]
    one of the questions I asked him was,

    [00:48:28.369]
    What is the best way to,

    [00:48:30.969]
    uh, tell a programmer

    [00:48:33.719]
    about medics

    [00:48:35.130]
    why you are using medics and way he

    [00:48:37.239]
    should check it out. And he said, I

    [00:48:39.630]
    don’t tell them.

    [00:48:40.869]
    I show them,

    [00:48:42.769]
    you know, show, build something quickly

    [00:48:45.099]
    or screen share and build something together

    [00:48:48.070]
    and make it click, you know, And that’s

    [00:48:50.710]
    that’s what convinces most people like.

    [00:48:53.369]
    No, if they hear it, this is not It

    [00:48:55.630]
    can’t be true. It can’t be true. It’s too fast.

    [00:48:57.780]
    It sounds too good to be true. So it’s probably not

    [00:48:59.829]
    true. But when you show them all

    [00:49:01.880]
    of a sudden there like

    [00:49:03.469]
    wait a minute, really? Oh,

    [00:49:05.900]
    and then they’re like, Hey, but what about

    [00:49:07.969]
    this and this and this? And can I do this? And

    [00:49:10.219]
    that’s when they start thinking impossibilities instead

    [00:49:12.420]
    of limitations.

    [00:49:14.309]
    Um, so that’s Ah,

    [00:49:16.380]
    yeah, Interesting. Developers are are

    [00:49:19.170]
    naturally skeptical,

    [00:49:21.199]
    too high productivity platforms because

    [00:49:23.449]
    there been so many failed attempts in the past.

    [00:49:26.170]
    So many things like cogeneration,

    [00:49:28.610]
    their fourth generation programming languages,

    [00:49:31.369]
    lots of things that were like flavor

    [00:49:33.639]
    of the month.

    [00:49:34.570]
    And they just didn’t pan out

    [00:49:36.869]
    minutes was the first one in my, in

    [00:49:38.869]
    my

    [00:49:39.670]
    opinion, that actually

    [00:49:42.670]
    delivered on what the promise was, you know,

    [00:49:44.699]
    to really speed you up.

    [00:49:46.469]
    Yeah, so Ah, nor I’m

    [00:49:48.710]
    just interested in your side as

    [00:49:50.780]
    well. You have a BPM

    [00:49:52.809]
    background. Uh, we’ve talked

    [00:49:55.050]
    about that before because I I also come

    [00:49:57.079]
    from her BPM background. They both

    [00:49:59.150]
    switched about 45 years to ah,

    [00:50:01.400]
    go to low code.

    [00:50:03.460]
    Um,

    [00:50:05.480]
    I’m very curious. Just from

    [00:50:07.679]
    your perspective. Why you think that?

    [00:50:10.360]
    You know, as Paul said,

    [00:50:11.960]
    men Dicks was able to

    [00:50:14.309]
    deliver on that. What was it

    [00:50:16.449]
    that you convinced you That

    [00:50:18.260]
    this platform does work in this attempt

    [00:50:20.789]
    Israel, and not just,

    [00:50:23.130]
    you know, and on the side project that

    [00:50:25.219]
    will fade away in two or three years.

    [00:50:27.960]
    Yeah. Eso

    [00:50:30.400]
    Now

    [00:50:31.300]
    this is I think it’s a destiny

    [00:50:33.360]
    that I came across Mondex. I

    [00:50:35.449]
    was not planning.

    [00:50:37.260]
    Um

    [00:50:39.559]
    I even was thinking to change. Maybe

    [00:50:41.670]
    my career healthcare path

    [00:50:43.900]
    from BBM to another thing is not

    [00:50:46.190]
    local but

    [00:50:48.860]
    of our roads. Me anniversary

    [00:50:51.130]
    crossed together,

    [00:50:52.960]
    so

    [00:50:54.010]
    I thought, Yeah, this took Let’s

    [00:50:56.079]
    take a chance. I’m see how

    [00:50:59.400]
    the capabilities of index and what we can do

    [00:51:01.579]
    and what we can leverage.

    [00:51:03.530]
    Um I loved it. It’s

    [00:51:06.070]
    Ah, it’s Ah is

    [00:51:08.289]
    the city is I have the mind set

    [00:51:10.670]
    off ppm and low code, so

    [00:51:12.760]
    it’s just needed to switch my mind

    [00:51:15.269]
    to Mike

    [00:51:16.960]
    and in the future, inside me. Index. So that’s

    [00:51:18.969]
    what something I need to discover how to do

    [00:51:21.039]
    things and my index that I couldn’t

    [00:51:23.159]
    imagine my my head

    [00:51:25.210]
    in different way on.

    [00:51:27.380]
    That’s Ah

    [00:51:28.800]
    and the experience. Also, it’s

    [00:51:30.900]
    different.

    [00:51:31.869]
    So previously before a fair trial, I

    [00:51:34.780]
    didn’t work

    [00:51:36.059]
    on integration that much, not because

    [00:51:39.159]
    the other blood phone does not provide. But

    [00:51:41.179]
    the companies that I worked with

    [00:51:43.460]
    didn’t like. Leverage, maybe

    [00:51:45.739]
    more integration more.

    [00:51:47.809]
    Um uh, something

    [00:51:49.849]
    excited. So it’s excited

    [00:51:51.969]
    because that’s

    [00:51:53.760]
    it’s the in six

    [00:51:55.789]
    years I learned the process. Model language

    [00:51:57.969]
    is the thing that

    [00:51:59.429]
    I can now imagine how things

    [00:52:01.630]
    it could be from a to Zed. I’m

    [00:52:05.449]
    I’m not,

    [00:52:06.449]
    I believe, with a user story with joy. But

    [00:52:09.300]
    in my mind, I need to understand the process

    [00:52:11.369]
    from A to Zed

    [00:52:12.530]
    like if there is seven, process several

    [00:52:14.630]
    steps I need to understand before dealing

    [00:52:16.840]
    with the user story.

    [00:52:18.250]
    To me, the journey mob off

    [00:52:21.320]
    1

    [00:52:22.480]
    to 7

    [00:52:24.250]
    so I can know what is the output, how

    [00:52:26.429]
    I can imagine it. So this is

    [00:52:28.440]
    something

    [00:52:30.449]
    a great on the that’s

    [00:52:32.579]
    also will add to

    [00:52:34.250]
    the code on my index said

    [00:52:36.349]
    that people didn’t want me. They only be

    [00:52:38.460]
    young. Now work flows with them

    [00:52:40.639]
    that experience

    [00:52:42.090]
    to see things

    [00:52:43.389]
    delivering their insight on things, how

    [00:52:45.460]
    it should work.

    [00:52:46.750]
    Um,

    [00:52:47.989]
    so in a very try had,

    [00:52:50.289]
    like, rhetorical interrogation

    [00:52:52.750]
    is a P eyes

    [00:52:54.820]
    in this, um integration

    [00:52:57.360]
    email.

    [00:52:58.750]
    Um,

    [00:53:00.050]
    inboard pdf syndicate

    [00:53:02.289]
    with the bills. PD off

    [00:53:05.050]
    like a lot off integration happened in

    [00:53:07.150]
    the three years

    [00:53:08.389]
    that it waas

    [00:53:10.500]
    just

    [00:53:11.619]
    working on encryption with when I want

    [00:53:13.639]
    to create an FBI or I want

    [00:53:15.639]
    to provide for a client or they

    [00:53:17.800]
    want to provide many FBI. So the

    [00:53:19.809]
    encryption. But I didn’t work with it before. Now

    [00:53:22.440]
    I can’t like it’s just

    [00:53:25.030]
    getting experience in

    [00:53:27.150]
    in a way that is not stopping to

    [00:53:29.239]
    know.

    [00:53:30.150]
    So I’m looking for or there I’m

    [00:53:32.530]
    looking forward

    [00:53:34.050]
    with

    [00:53:35.340]
    the way

    [00:53:36.690]
    like the learning path would never

    [00:53:38.730]
    end. Now you know something in index,

    [00:53:41.659]
    maybe you will face something in index

    [00:53:43.710]
    that you didn’t work on before. Which happened.

    [00:53:46.070]
    The lady and you discover

    [00:53:48.329]
    how to work with that. So it’s all

    [00:53:50.510]
    always

    [00:53:51.469]
    giving you

    [00:53:53.050]
    expand your insight on development, how

    [00:53:55.239]
    you can make things maybe last year were making

    [00:53:57.559]
    things different in what you are doing it this

    [00:53:59.800]
    year. So a defense on the

    [00:54:01.880]
    risk that you are gaining. So

    [00:54:04.139]
    yeah, absolutely. And

    [00:54:06.570]
    you know, so far, medics has

    [00:54:08.570]
    been able to help you answer and solve

    [00:54:10.860]
    all of those problem every step of the way, right?

    [00:54:13.340]
    And so we keep evolving like that.

    [00:54:15.869]
    Um, and I have a question

    [00:54:18.280]
    for you guys. Um,

    [00:54:21.440]
    did you hear? Ah,

    [00:54:23.590]
    do one of you hear something from another presenter

    [00:54:27.010]
    that you would like to follow up on.

    [00:54:31.639]
    So what would you What would you ask each other

    [00:54:34.340]
    about your different use cases

    [00:54:36.389]
    or your different situations?

    [00:54:41.570]
    Now it sounds like I’m giving away my moderator

    [00:54:43.570]
    role to someone else. That’s fine.

    [00:54:45.659]
    Um,

    [00:54:46.940]
    maybe in our little chat before our

    [00:54:49.320]
    before the actual

    [00:54:50.579]
    life stream

    [00:54:52.219]
    and durable, you said

    [00:54:54.079]
    that you

    [00:54:55.599]
    enjoy data integration.

    [00:54:58.440]
    I think you’re pretty alone with that. I’m

    [00:55:00.960]
    not sure how to do that. How do I find

    [00:55:03.019]
    joy and data integration? Because this is a pain.

    [00:55:06.440]
    It’s like a puzzle for me.

    [00:55:09.630]
    I love Brussels as, um

    [00:55:12.039]
    um, yeah, I like to know

    [00:55:14.050]
    how to integrate the FBI and also

    [00:55:16.460]
    how the plants want want

    [00:55:18.590]
    to provide him? The FBI doing the encryption

    [00:55:20.940]
    is something. It’s a bezel, so

    [00:55:23.179]
    it’s

    [00:55:24.260]
    sometimes I can spend.

    [00:55:26.409]
    And that’s another time spending all night

    [00:55:28.630]
    just to solve a problem.

    [00:55:30.889]
    That not because I have to

    [00:55:33.340]
    but because I just I think

    [00:55:35.760]
    in the problem that I need so

    [00:55:37.969]
    and I lose track of time,

    [00:55:40.239]
    Um, on just just something

    [00:55:42.510]
    ah,

    [00:55:43.780]
    and enjoy. I know it’s hard for people,

    [00:55:46.050]
    but I told him maybe I’m a person

    [00:55:48.199]
    like I like the hard stuff. But

    [00:55:50.420]
    I like to know the insight

    [00:55:52.889]
    off the integration and how should

    [00:55:54.909]
    work. Maybe you will have 20

    [00:55:58.500]
    operation and one was

    [00:56:00.539]
    deal. So how you want to integrate that? What

    [00:56:02.690]
    you need to integrate. What is the response?

    [00:56:05.230]
    All of that? It’s something, um,

    [00:56:07.789]
    excited. Also in our

    [00:56:10.110]
    project, off products were

    [00:56:13.059]
    we are also

    [00:56:15.039]
    busy, bee partner, and we have our packages.

    [00:56:18.030]
    Ah, with the our blood product

    [00:56:20.369]
    on, we can show that people. So the plan

    [00:56:22.469]
    for a kill database all of that.

    [00:56:24.829]
    So we built something that it could

    [00:56:27.010]
    be. We can change the base layer off the back

    [00:56:29.170]
    in to be integrated with the client

    [00:56:31.449]
    like we can change the future

    [00:56:33.760]
    to be from technical perspective, let’s say

    [00:56:35.840]
    on the product, like if now is a B,

    [00:56:38.050]
    we need to connect it to

    [00:56:39.780]
    a database. SQL. So it took us

    [00:56:41.940]
    3 to 4 days just to reuse

    [00:56:44.440]
    on to create another moment a model with a database

    [00:56:46.699]
    connector and

    [00:56:48.110]
    to reuse all off mapping that we need

    [00:56:50.530]
    on from technical, the future are gone.

    [00:56:52.690]
    Now we are waiting the business to give us what’s

    [00:56:54.690]
    need to be different.

    [00:56:56.130]
    So, uh,

    [00:56:57.679]
    on its integration connectivity,

    [00:56:59.989]
    sometimes the connectivity will give you a headache.

    [00:57:02.340]
    But, uh, well, you’re really

    [00:57:04.550]
    passionate about it, that’s for sure. I think

    [00:57:07.510]
    this is actually this is how,

    [00:57:10.030]
    um this is my

    [00:57:11.699]
    I’m bashing it. This is something.

    [00:57:13.860]
    Yeah, Well, im

    [00:57:16.579]
    now you may work. Some people,

    [00:57:18.949]
    they may work on something not

    [00:57:21.079]
    because they want, but they have to

    [00:57:23.119]
    like it’s dropped the phone.

    [00:57:25.030]
    Eso I consider myself one

    [00:57:27.030]
    off the lucky as people that I’m

    [00:57:29.130]
    working with, something I love,

    [00:57:30.719]
    like not something I don’t like.

    [00:57:32.980]
    It’s something I’m passionate about. I

    [00:57:35.030]
    want to expand me and my team and

    [00:57:37.090]
    the company and the brother.

    [00:57:38.789]
    So, in all that levels, um

    [00:57:41.630]
    on the bashing is the thing that’s

    [00:57:43.719]
    keep us moving enough. If you don’t have

    [00:57:45.889]
    passion on something, okay, you will work

    [00:57:48.530]
    whatsoever. But

    [00:57:50.070]
    at the end, it’s It’s good to have. The

    [00:57:52.159]
    passion on daikon is everyone. If you don’t

    [00:57:54.300]
    have the brushing mouth when what you do, just

    [00:57:56.750]
    try to find it. Find your passion.

    [00:57:58.820]
    It’s a love that I think that’s a That’s

    [00:58:00.929]
    a great I think it’s a great message

    [00:58:03.030]
    now to ah, close

    [00:58:05.039]
    off. Um, we introduced

    [00:58:07.920]
    20 new features in minutes nine.

    [00:58:10.320]
    Ah, what is one

    [00:58:12.320]
    thing that you didn’t see that you would love to see

    [00:58:14.559]
    in medics? 10.

    [00:58:17.420]
    Paul. I would love to see Blue

    [00:58:19.619]
    Green deployments on medics Cloud

    [00:58:21.929]
    zero downtime, deployments. I know it’s on the road

    [00:58:24.039]
    map. We already saw that from the ask me

    [00:58:26.039]
    anything Question sessions. So

    [00:58:28.489]
    super excited about that.

    [00:58:30.320]
    Awesome.

    [00:58:31.219]
    But what? You Philip,

    [00:58:33.139]
    I’d really enjoy more medics assist

    [00:58:35.380]
    features

    [00:58:36.719]
    because we have so many citizen developers

    [00:58:39.099]
    coming up and we need every help we can get.

    [00:58:41.510]
    And if men exorcists can help us with

    [00:58:43.630]
    that, then that’d be great.

    [00:58:46.489]
    Excellent. What were you ignore?

    [00:58:48.980]
    Well, um,

    [00:58:50.420]
    since I’m still not the hands on work flows,

    [00:58:52.920]
    but so that would be

    [00:58:54.989]
    my my thing. But I think that mood will

    [00:58:57.070]
    be fun will be good. I’m I’m

    [00:58:59.179]
    a dark mood person like on my old devices.

    [00:59:01.980]
    So that would be something to have

    [00:59:05.550]
    have the modular

    [00:59:07.630]
    dark mood. That will be good thing.

    [00:59:10.090]
    Excellent.

    [00:59:11.130]
    I think it sounds great. And if you guys

    [00:59:13.480]
    can give

    [00:59:14.619]
    one piece of advice through the developers

    [00:59:16.670]
    who were watching this, what would that be?

    [00:59:23.119]
    Who wants to start?

    [00:59:25.130]
    Ugo, Go, go ahead.

    [00:59:27.920]
    And to me it is, um, get close

    [00:59:29.960]
    to the customer,

    [00:59:31.219]
    try to understand him and not only the requirements,

    [00:59:33.730]
    but also him as a person. How he communicates

    [00:59:36.250]
    what he wants to tell you, because sometimes

    [00:59:38.280]
    he doesn’t know. She doesn’t know

    [00:59:41.619]
    what they want that sometimes they don’t

    [00:59:43.630]
    know what’s best for them. So

    [00:59:45.519]
    get to understand the problem and not

    [00:59:47.590]
    the requirements.

    [00:59:50.420]
    My my advice would be

    [00:59:52.719]
    connect with people, um,

    [00:59:55.119]
    developers air, sometimes introverted by nature,

    [00:59:57.280]
    and often

    [00:59:58.719]
    try to singer, you know, isolate

    [01:00:01.019]
    themselves, but

    [01:00:02.699]
    including myself.

    [01:00:03.940]
    But if you connect to your users, if you connect to other

    [01:00:06.070]
    developers who’ve been down, like if you haven’t

    [01:00:08.230]
    done minutes before, connect with other men. Dicks

    [01:00:10.269]
    users to understand the platform.

    [01:00:12.409]
    Um, it helps do it in whatever

    [01:00:14.500]
    way is comfortable for you.

    [01:00:17.110]
    Excellent.

    [01:00:18.010]
    Right to close off. Nor what is your

    [01:00:20.199]
    one piece of advice? Um,

    [01:00:23.369]
    you don’t just build. Think about

    [01:00:25.539]
    what you’re building. If

    [01:00:27.349]
    that sometimes the requirement, it

    [01:00:29.989]
    could be enhanced in different way. So

    [01:00:32.130]
    creativity is

    [01:00:33.639]
    don’t Don’t just be

    [01:00:35.670]
    it for B o. Um, but

    [01:00:38.050]
    your mind Give advice.

    [01:00:40.420]
    Expand your skills on the passion.

    [01:00:43.489]
    Watch what you’re doing. Yeah, find your passion

    [01:00:46.280]
    on your rash is exactly

    [01:00:48.610]
    so with that, we conclude the fireside

    [01:00:50.969]
    chat. I want to thank Paul Philip

    [01:00:53.150]
