Extend Your PPM Application for Projects Products and ServicesEPM Live
A Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) system is a common need within most IT organizations. In addition to PPM, IT organizations must also have systems in place for the management of other types of work such as products and services. Now, IT organizations are thinking outside of the box. If you must do more with less, what better way to protect your PPM investment and minimize costs then to leverage the same platform to bring Project Management, Product Development and Service Management to your IT organization?
Accelerating SharePoint Value with Work ManagementEPM Live
The key to creating value from managing work in your organization is to further leverage SharePoint to plan and track all types of work. As your core enterprise content management system, SharePoint is the central portal for all enterprise work and collaboration for all internal and external users. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how you can generate significant value from the use of the WorkEngine for SharePoint platform. With very little additional investment in your existing SharePoint infrastructure you can benefit from integrated work planning and tracking, detailed budget and cost management, resource capacity management and overall work management reporting and dashboards.
Please join EPM Live to learn how to create value in your organization by using the WorkEngine solution together with your existing SharePoint infrastructure.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
