Architectural Patterns and Software Architectures: Client-Server, Multi-Tier,...Svetlin Nakov
Few days ago I gave a talk about software architectures. My goal was to explain as easy as possible the main ideas behind the most popular software architectures like the client-server model, the 3-tier and multi-tier layered models, the idea behind SOA architecture and cloud computing, and few widely used architectural patterns like MVC (Model-View-Controller), MVP (Model-View-Presenter), PAC (Presentation Abstraction Control), MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel). In my talk I explain that MVC, MVP and MVVM are not necessary bound to any particular architectural model like client-server, 3-tier of SOA. MVC, MVP and MVVM are architectural principles applicable when we need to separate the presentation (UI), the data model and the presentation logic.
Additionally I made an overview of the popular architectural principals IoC (Inversion of Control) and DI (Dependency Injection) and give examples how to build your own Inversion of Control (IoC) container.

Leading AI Innovation As A Product Manager - Michael JidaelMichael Jidael
Unlike traditional product management, AI product leadership requires new mental models, collaborative approaches, and new measurement frameworks. This presentation breaks down how Product Managers can successfully lead AI Innovation in today's rapidly evolving technology landscape. Drawing from practical experience and industry best practices, I shared frameworks, approaches, and mindset shifts essential for product leaders navigating the unique challenges of AI product development.
In this deck, you'll discover:
- What AI leadership means for product managers
- The fundamental paradigm shift required for AI product development.
- A framework for identifying high-value AI opportunities for your products.
- How to transition from user stories to AI learning loops and hypothesis-driven development.
- The essential AI product management framework for defining, developing, and deploying intelligence.
- Technical and business metrics that matter in AI product development.
- Strategies for effective collaboration with data science and engineering teams.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

Everyone’s talking about AI but is anyone really using it to create real value?
Most companies want to leverage AI. Few know 𝗵𝗼𝘄.
✅ What exactly should you ask to find real AI opportunities?
✅ Which AI techniques actually fit your business?
✅ Is your data even ready for AI?
If you’re not sure, you’re not alone. This is a condensed version of the slides I presented at a Linkedin webinar for Tecnovy on 28.04.2025.

26. Industry Trends SOA: Service Oriented Architecture Service Composition Web 2.0 Network Effect SaaS: Software as a Service Service Delivery RIA: Rich Internet Applications Experience Software + Services Cloud Computing Service Utility
28. Industry Trends “ Let me just say it: We want native third-party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers' hands in February” - Steve Jobs Apple Reverses on Third-Party iPhone Apps “ But Google's offline approach also is a recognition that Microsoft's right in insisting that not all computing will take place in the Internet cloud. Microsoft's been touting a vision of "software plus services " that relies on Internet-connected desktop apps, and more enterprise software-as-a-service companies, such as CRM vendor RightNow, recognize the need for some client software.” Google CEO Says Software to Play a Bigger Role
29. Industry Trends IBM also introduced Bluehouse, the code name for services … designed to help business partners share contacts, files, project and interact via chat and Web meeting. The model is similar to what Microsoft has been pushing with its software-plus-services strategy developed by Microsoft CTO Ray Ozzie, who created the Notes platform. Microsoft is trying to define a new category with software plus services …it turns out that Microsoft may have a point and, while Salesforce.com would be unlikely to concede this, in fact it provides some supporting evidence. A few years ago Salesforce.com released its Off-line Edition for its popular customer relationship management (CRM) product.
32. Taking Advantage of these Trends How do these industry trends map to architectural patterns? What kind of applications are possible using the Software + Services paradigm? Can Software + Services take advantage of existing investments?
