SUMMARY:Developing conversational apps and Implementing Fingerprint Authentication
DESCRIPTION:This month\, Mir Majeed will be covering how we can use LUIS to develop conversational apps with Xamarin and David Silverlight will be showing how to add the ability for users to login to Xamarin.Forms apps using their Fingerprint.  \nDeveloping Conversational Apps with LUIS  \nMir Majeed will show us how to develop engaging voice and text-based conversational mobile apps with Xamarin using Microsoft LUIS and Google API.AI. This session will provide a good introduction of Microsoft Luis\, Google API.AI and how to use these technologies in your mobile apps. \nAdding Fingerprint Authentication to Xamarin.Forms apps  \nDavid Silverlight is going to show us how we can add the ability for users to login to our applications using their fingerprint.  He will walk us through the process of adding this functionality to both iOS and Android applications as we use TouchID to implement fingerprint authentication in Xamarin.Forms. The various steps for implementation will be covered\, including showing how we can test this functionality in each platform’s emulators.

SUMMARY:The New Era Of Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:After billions of dollars and decades of research\, we are entering a new era of robotics and conscious artificial intelligence. A.I. is poised to transform our society as did the internet years ago. We are already using A.I. when we use speech recognition software\, Google Translate\, and many other apps and services. Nearly all of the largest software and social media companies are working towards integrating some form of A.I. into their product and service\, including Facebook\, Twitter\, and Microsoft. Today\, we have Robotic helpers\, driverless cars\, problem-solving A.Is\, and we’re just getting started. Machine Intelligence has the potential to usher in a new age of technology like we’ve never seen before that will have a tremendous impact on job markets\, the economy\, and our everyday lives.\nIn this discussion\, we’ll look at the technological changes that are sweeping through our world and the future effects that A.I can have on our economy and our personal lives. The good and also the dangers of A.I. that we’ll need to face. Join us for a deep learning discussion and ask yourself: Are you ready for this new era of machine intelligence?\nLearn More & Register

SUMMARY:Drupal 8 and Relativity: An Event Management System for the Drupal Community
DESCRIPTION:For the past 2 years\, BDUG has been teaching in-depth concepts into Relativity for real world applications. Our ecosystem concept while complex and extremely powerful set the stage to on-board experienced devs into a new way of doing things. But whether an ecosystem\, or a single site\, Relativity serves as the foundation\, engine and manager of all system functions.\nNow it’s time to exercise the concepts learned over the past two years and provide a Relativity build for multi event management functions to offer to the Drupal community. A perfect example of where this system would be helpful would be for state wide Drupal groups\, local user groups etc. (maybe even a DrupalCon)  😉\nHector and myself put the challenge out to BDUG members to accomplish this task and the request was met with overwhelming enthusiasm across many people.\nWe have agreed to set up future meetups to follow this build from concept\, to documentation\, to team building\, implementation\, documentation and community offering.\nMeetups will be in two parts each. The first part being collaboration break outs\, task assignments\, time management and approvals. The second half would be to present on-screen results of the previous meetup deliverables.\nHector and I both wish to extend a HUGE thanks to volunteers and welcome any and all new comers to join in and contribute. There’s always a place for anyone with a desire to become part of this endeavor.\nHere’s to BDUG and all our members. You are all top notch folks and we are honored to be part of this with all of you.\nJay and Hector

SUMMARY:Marketing Myths and Technology Slips
DESCRIPTION:Technology can enhance a wide range of aspects of the customer experience but most companies are missing the biggest opportunity – anticipation and proactive service.\nBy being proactive\, a company can cut service cost by 2/3 while dazzling the customer with great service. The biggest payoffs of proactivity often come not from reducing the cost of after-sale customer service but from enhancing revenue and word of mouth more effectively. Setting customer’s expectations and proactively providing service via technology can accomplish this.\nIn his discussion\, John will identify five areas where technology and service\, marketing and quality departments can partner to enhance not only the customer experience but also the bottom line.\nSPEAKER \nJOHN GOODMAN \nVICE CHAIRMAN \, CUSTOMER CARE MEASUREMENT AND CONSULTING (CCMC)\nA co-author of the 1970’s breakthrough study of consumer complaint behavior and customer service for the White House Office of Consumer Affairs\, John A. Goodman is one of the original trailblazers of the customer experience industry. His contributions to this research overturned conventional wisdom and were instrumental to repositioning customer care as a potential profit center. He is the author of the best selling book Customer Experience 3.0. John’s company CCMC offers research and consulting services to help companies from every industry hear the voice of the customer more clearly\, act on what matters most and align the business with the customer experience. Empowering businesses to act on the voice of the customer\, CCMC helps companies earn the measurable payoff of delivering a consistently better customer experience. They accomplish this with increased customer loyalty\, competitive superiority\, higher margins and positive word of mouth advertising in the marketplace.

CAI demonstrates value in delivering results that reduce costs through visibility\, optimization\, control methodologies and performance-based service tools.
