Cloud computing is the new paradigm in IT services. Cloud platforms provide a new way for companies to manage their data and applications, but this poses challenges for storage solutions. Amidst the commotion of multi-cloud opportunities and emerging workloads, many organizations need solutions that can scale with ease while meeting the demanding performance requirements of their enterprise applications.
In this session we will discuss the common misconceptions of cloud infrastructure and how as-a-service solutions can enhance, not replace, cloud strategies. Growing cloud adoption is revealing opportunities for better cloud management. We’ll also take a look at how as-a-service is an important addition to enterprise cloud strategy.
In this session, we’ll explore the role of IT leadership in enabling hybrid work and explore how they can best support their teams. Hybrid work is asynchronous, so you have to enable asynchronous things. It is characterized by context switching, and context switching has a negative impact on productivity.
How do we counterbalance that?
Business leaders in every industry are under pressure to keep up with technological advances, evolving regulations and changing customer demands. To win in a software-driven world, companies must create robust and flexible digital foundations that help them adapt swiftly to changing market conditions and quickly roll out new products and services.
The past few years have seen businesses create entirely new, digital-first channels and services to better serve their customers. Drawing on our first-hand experiences, the UK’s top CIOs share key lessons from the past couple of years and reveal their future-focused strategies for creating software-powered experiences that boost employee engagement and satisfaction.
Virtual worlds and digital assets are game-changing technologies that offer businesses exciting new opportunities. However, with these groundbreaking advances also comes a new set of challenges for security and safety. Participants on this panel will explore the possibilities of the emerging virtual economy and discuss strategies for navigating these uncharted waters.
Today’s CIOs are working hard to develop the “software factories” of the future, where code is written in tandem with new software capabilities—and where developers are empowered to deploy code securely and quickly. Hear from CIOs and other IT leaders who are building powerful internal “software factories” and leveraging low code/no code tools that help democratize development activity.
While the intensifying competition for IT talent shows no signs of going away, there are ways to attract and retain more employees. A CIO’s first challenge is to attract new workers; their second challenge is keeping them.
A moderated discussion where attendees can share experiences and ideas on a key topic of interest to the CIO community.
