Explore how Oracle Database 26ai introduces native vector search capabilities, enabling semantic querying alongside traditional relational data , all within a single system. This session will include a live demo "similarity search" showing how vector embeddings are generated, stored, and queried using SQL for real-world AI workloads. Also, presenting two show cases with all the parsing, chunking and embedding done inside the database by Oracle's own vector and Oracle Text features. No external embedding service, no document pipeline to operate, no second datastore.

Houston, we have a platform...

Patrick Thibaudeau, Luke Gagliardi, and Jeremy Rende invite you aboard for an expedition to MARS, UIT’s new framework for turning innovative ideas into secure internal applications. Along the way, we’ll orbit PHOBOS, a MARS-based application transforming a largely manual computer-ordering process into a modern web-store experience.

Scanners show governance ahead...

Our journey will also pass through the proposed AI Development Enablement (AIDE) Committee, where we’ll stop briefly to explore how York can encourage and support AI-enabled innovation while maintaining governance, accountability, privacy, security, accessibility, and human oversight.

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist...

Whether you’re a developer, an innovator, a process expert, or simply someone who has ever thought, “There must be a better way to do this!”, this session will show how UIT is charting a path from great ideas to governed, sustainable digital solutions.

Leveraging Salesforce's Education Cloud and Marketing Cloud products to create a 360 degree view of the applicant, do targeted and timely prospect outreach and enhance the applicant experience through a modernized portal, in order to increase applicant conversion to ultimately ensure fiscal sustainability

York University is transitioning from Netdisco to Nautobot, an open-source network automation, discovery and inventory platform. The UIT-Infrastructure team has been using and testing Nautobot ahead of a wider rollout, and local IT teams across all campuses are now being trained on it. In this session, Mina, a Telecom Design Analyst with York’s UIT-Telecommunications team, shares a hands-on look at four features he uses in his daily work: Updating port and cable records, managing port state (enabling, disabling, and bouncing ports), using Advanced Port Query to search ports across all campuses, and using NACT to configure ports to the appropriate VLANs. Through live demonstrations and real-world scenarios, he compares how these tasks were handled in Netdisco with how they work in Nautobot, and shows how the features fit together to complete a typical change request. Attendees will come away with practical tips, common pitfalls to avoid, and a clearer picture of what working in Nautobot looks like as the transition continues

Managing IT assets involves much more than maintaining an inventory list. This session will showcase how CTS has leveraged BlueTally to streamline day-to-day asset management operations, improve inventory accuracy, reduce manual effort, and provide greater visibility into device lifecycle information. Attendees will learn how CTS has integrated BlueTally into its daily workflows and how features such as lifecycle tracking, warranty management, reporting, and JAMF and Intune integrations have improved operational efficiency and inventory accuracy.
