3 Reasons Automated Testing Makes Sense for Your Business
Presented by: Todd Griffith, Argano
... the quarterly updates can still pose challenges. Your IT and business user teams need to test the changes to understand what will happen once the updates occur and prevent any trouble. Historically, most of that testing is done manually—it’s time-consuming, expensive, ripe for human errors, and difficult to be truly comprehensive.
This is where automated testing makes all the difference. This presentation will walk the attendees through the concept of automated testing, a typical quarterly update process executed efficiently, the benefits, the detailed documentation output, and how automation can free IT and business users to work on higher-value innovations and the business.

How Heathrow Airport leveraged Automated Testing to underpin the largest business transformation project in its 75-year history
Presented by: Tyler Price, DWS
... siness Suite with Cloud Applications. The core aim of the project was to modernize the airport’s HR, Finance, Revenue, Service and Asset Management systems, empowering employees with modern tools to unlock their full talent and potential. It was to be the largest business transformation in Heathrow’s 75-year history.
Ensuring a smooth integration and deployment of this ambitious project required detailed analysis of a huge number of functions, the ability to identify potential problem areas and the effective testing of the new processes to minimise operational disruptions.
Heathrow’s technology consultant Capgemini had extensive experience of DWS’s testing software SwifTest and proposed to Heathrow that it should be an integral part of delivering Project Magenta.
After a successful Proof of Concept, SwifTest was incorporated into a Quarterly testing cycle to handle around 150 tests within a two-week window. To achieve the same volume of testing would have taken 3-4 weeks if undertaken manually.
Project Magenta went live in October 2021, with tasks as different as hiring new colleagues, procuring goods, and generating revenue all brought together into one suite allowing the airport to benefit from efficiency through automation and driving faster, accurate decision making.
This session will focus on how Heathrow were able to access the core benefits of an automated testing program and how you can leverage the same; namely significant time and resource savings and the provision of high-quality data, evidencing each stage of the process and enabling clear records to be maintained.

Is your business on the hook for new taxes?! Changes in communications taxes and how to stay ahead
Presented by: Dewey Minor, Avalara
... iders as reliable sources of revenue. Traditional voice services have been replaced almost entirely with new technologies like streaming and videoconferencing or being embedded into other cloud services and SaaS platforms. Communications services are increasingly pervasive and found in products, services, or apps
that were typically never considered to be a telco or communications offering. The adoption of communications-platform-as-a-service (CPaaS) solutions, which deliver communications services like voice, videoconferencing, SMS, and wireless connectivity through simple APIs, has allowed services to become embedded in a wide range of product categories. And that can make them UNEXPECTEDLY subject to communications tax!
To keep up, new rules and regulations are being introduced! Does this include you and your business' services? If you incorporate voice calling, video chat, or messaging services into any of your CRM, SaaS, or marketing automation platforms, you may be subject to a wide array of communications taxes. Whether you participate directly in the communications space or plan to incorporate any communications features or streaming into your product or service, staying ahead of communications taxes will remain important.See More

... ed, error-prone and ineffective, costing companies significant resources every day. Additionally, there's another threat on the horizon - the mandating of e-invoicing by tax authorities. E-invoicing will soon become a tax compliance requirement, if it isn't already. Usage of e-invoicing processes and platforms is mandated by law in an increasing number of countries. As it stands, businesses have a choice - adopt e-invoicing or risk non-compliance and the inability to send invoices to customers. This seems daunting and leaves us feeling as if we have no reason to rejoice.
In this session, we will dive into how the increased digitalization of tax compliance and administration connects to e-invoicing and contributes to creating a more sustainable, efficient, and compliant business world. We will also delve into the future of e-invoicing, how the upcoming trend to e-compliance is expected to transform the financial landscape as we know it and what your business can do to keep up with the changes. By the end of this session we will be rejoicing over e-invoicing!See More
