Vom Ding an sich zum Internet der Dinge
Seit Beginn dessen, was man Philosophie nennt – also dem Zeitalter der Vorsokratiker – haben große Geister sich bemüht, den Dualismus Geist-Materie zu überwinden und Erkenntnis auf eine einzige, eindeutige Quelle zurück zu führen – dem Ding-an-sich. Diese Entwicklung wird in diesem Buch nachverfolgt – bis hin zu den modernen Instrumenten der Datenhaltung und der künstlichen Intelligenz. Im Internet of Things schließlich werden Informationen und Objekte wieder zu einer einzigen Entität verschmolzen. Liegt da vielleicht die Lösung nach der Suche des Ding-an-sich?WOLFGANG OSTERHAGE ist Diplom-Ingenieur mit Promotionen in Physik und Informationstechnologie und war lange Jahre als Berater in internationalen Organisationen, der freien Wirtschaft und als Dozent an verschiedenen Institutionen tätig.

Roll away the boring stuff!
Too often, users need to perform the same tasks again and again. It's not only boring, it takes up the time that could be used differently! In this book, you will learn how to do less typing, how Excel can insert formattings and calculations for you, how to establish best relationships between cells, how to adjust table data, that is provided in a less than perfect way and how to arrange the Excel window in a way to find desired features quicker.Ina Koys is an experienced instructor for Microsoft Office. Many questions are frequently asked in trainings, but seldom covered in books. Now she answers some of them in her originally German "short & spicy" series. A little accent will add to the fun :-)
New ways to go!
You’re working with Excel since long, but would like some fresh inspiration? You had an Excel training 15 years ago and wonder what all these new buttons could do for you? Then, this book is for you! We’ll be looking at all new topics from Excel 2007 onwards: Matrix operations, Flash Fill, Conditional Formatting, Sparklines, new formulas and much more. All explained using clear examples, suitable for normal users and insiders.Ina Koys is an experienced instructor for Microsoft Office.

Outlook 2021
Nope, it won't make you a coffee right now. But Outlook can write, sort and tag your mail, find lost items, maybe throw away stuff instantly or re-present it at the time you find it suitable. More than that, Outlook can organize appointments, deliver route planning, present pictures of your contacts and much more.Ina Koys is an experienced instructor for Microsoft Office.

How to get Instant Overview
Often, Excel is used to evaluate given data. Which values are critical? Can I see at a glance what the development was like? Can I highlight a whole row if one column has important content? Or ask for the content of two cells, simultaneously? How do I get overview in a thick workbook? How do I get a clear and telling chart? Is there anything as clear, but not as large as a diagram? Can I ask Excel in natural language without any formula? All these questions are answered here.Ina Koys is an experienced instructor for Microsoft Office.

How to Create Explainer Videos
To explain complex context and relations, there is a tool already on each office workplace: PowerPoint. But many users are not aware of what it can really achieve: not only record anything of what one does on the screen - it also can do videos with intricate animations. Elements can be displayed or hidden, created step by step or morph one to another. The audience will focus on the subject, the message is clear and the larger context will be understood. This booklet concentrates on creating videos for teaching and demonstration. No other hard- or software needed. The resulting videos can be stored or shared anywhere you like.Ina Koys is an experienced instructor for Microsoft Office.

Business Capabilities
Geschäftsfähigkeiten als effektives Werkzeug für die Gestaltung von Unternehmens- und IT-ArchitekturenDas Konzept der Business Capabilities zur Beschreibung von Geschäftsfähigkeiten wird seit Langem erfolgreich im Enterprise Architecture Management verwendet. Sie gelten als Bindeglied zwischen Geschäftsprozessmanagement, IT-Architektur und Geschäftsstrategie. Die Möglichkeiten, Capabilities nutzbringend einzusetzen, sind jedoch weitaus größer und bieten sich für viele Aufgaben im Rahmen der Unternehmensentwicklung an.Dieses Buch gibt eine systematische Einführung in die Grundlagen, die Anwendung und die Vorbereitung für den Einsatz von Business Capabilities in der Praxis. Es beschreibt, wofür und wie Capability-Modelle verwendet werden können, und zeigt auf, wie Capabilities modelliert und ihr praktischer Einsatz als Werkzeug im Unternehmen vorbereitet wird. Dabei steht eine leichtgewichtige und zugleich flexible Variante von Capabilities im Fokus, die in Unternehmen als ein zentraler, fachlich orientierter Ordnungsrahmen in verschiedenen Arten von Projekten und regelmäßigen Linienaktivitäten eingesetzt werden kann. Neben der konzeptionellen Definition liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf der Einbettung von Capabilities in den Unternehmenskontext, was anhand mehrerer Fallbeispiele verdeutlicht wird. Der Anhang des Buches enthält u. a. eine Übersicht über Objekt- und Beziehungstypen sowie eine Einordnung ausgewählter Rahmenwerke.Das Buch bietet einen flexiblen Werkzeugkasten mit vielen Beispielen für den Einsatz von Capabilities in unterschiedlichen Anwendungsfällen der Unternehmensentwicklung, aus dem sich Gestaltungs- und Führungsrollen bedienen können, um Verbesserungen zu konzipieren und umzusetzen.Über den Autor:Dr. Wolf Pfannenstiel arbeitete nach Studium und Promotion in Informatik an der TU Berlin zunächst mehrere Jahre als Business-Analyst und Softwareproduktmanager, bevor er sich auf Enterprise Architecture Management spezialisierte.

Introduction to SparxSystems Enterprise Architect
SparxSystems Enterprise Architect (EA) is a logical choice for many companies and organizations: it combines a broad feature set with an affordable price. However, the robust range of features makes starting to use this fantastic tool a bit intimidating.Enter Michael, a fictional consultant and experienced enterprise architect featured throughout the book to show you how to populate a model with elements and connectors, and how to create diagrams that speak to the audience: management, project managers, internal audit, business stakeholders and IT representatives. As the book progresses Michael's duties continue with more advanced topics including the use of workflow tools such as Kanban boards. You'll even see how to present directly from Enterprise Architect so that latest information can be shown straight from the source!The last days of Michael’s mission are devoted to fine-tuning the enterprise architecture model with the help of tagged values. And to leave the model in the hands of the customer by creating a custom toolbox.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Setup EA and populate a model with elements, connectors and diagrams* Review the Big Five of enterprise architect: Model, Packages, Diagrams, Elements, Connectors* Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goalsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORNon-technical users who use EA mainly to document entire landscapes.Peter Doomen has been working as an architect, analyst, consultant, and teacher. He has been using Enterprise Architect since version 4. He has written two other books about the same subject. In daily life, he is fond of champagne and likes to teach about that subject as well.
