Money Pitfalls and Failed Expectations: Optimizing Essentials for the CloudNicole Maus
Cloud promised a simple pay-as-you-go approach to technology, with cost-savings at the top of the agenda. But data from 451 Research finds that costs are a major issue for enterprises as new pricing models, services and features introduce waste and complexity into the procurement process. In this webinar, we examine the challenge facing enterprises and find a level of intricacy that can’t be solved using manual process – tools and expertise are needed.

Modernizing the Enterprise Monolith: EQengineered Consulting Green PaperMark Hewitt
Are you an enterprise that recognizes the business liability inherent in the monolithic or otherwise dated enterprise software applications you have built? Does your technology represent an impediment to the needed agility and flexibility required to meet the needs of today’s business environment?
Historically, enterprise software development focused on an approach that incorporated all functionality into a single process, and replicated it across servers as additional capacity was required. Today, these large applications have become bloated and unmanageable as new features and functionality are added. And, as small changes are made to existing functionality, the requirements to update and redeploy the server-side application becomes an intractable juggernaut.
Forward-thinking organizations like Amazon and Netflix led the way toward agile processes, deconstructed software stacks, and efficient APIs. Both large and small organizations serious about embracing modern practices have followed by decoupling the front and back end of their enterprise applications, employing microservices and cloud technologies, and adopting agile methodologies. These very steps can serve to highlight additional technical deficits in old solutions and codebases, which in turn become stumbling blocks to modern development practices.
As these technology trends continue to evolve, how can your company keep pace and remain viable?
In this green paper, we discuss how CIOs, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering can lead the needed modernization with their counterparts in marketing and the business to ensure that their organizations remain competitive in today’s customer-driven and technology-led economy.
Key questions addressed include:
• Why is technical modernization vital for the business?
• What types of modernization projects are there?
• How does modernization fit into your organization?
Understand the What, Why & How of Digital Transformation Featuring 451 ResearchVMware Tanzu
Why did we hear so much about “Digital Transformation” in 2016, and frankly what does it mean? While it's easy to dismiss the phrase with an eye-roll, there's no better phrase to represent improving how IT is used to help drive business innovation...and the huge changes organizations must go through to be successful. This webinar with Nick Patience, Research Vice President for 451 Research's software team, and Michael Coté of Pivotal will discuss a pragmatic definition and approach to Digital Transformation as seen through the experiences of organizations who've lived through it.
Digital Transformation is about fundamentally rebuilding business and IT processes, not just about building apps. 451 Research defines Digital Transformation as “a result of IT innovation that is aligned with and driven by a well-planned business strategy, with the goal of transforming how organizations serve customers, employees and partners.” Some main features of a successful transformation include the ability to quickly react to market demands, and use information to make better decisions and serve constituents more effectively.
In this webinar Nick Patience of 451 Research and Pivotal’s Michael Cote will discuss:
- Why now is the time for Digital Transformation
- How the balance of power between customer and provider contributes to this new revolution
- Shifting priorities that require new practices and processes and the technical tools and platforms that support them
- Real-world examples of organizations that have been there (we’ll share all the gorey details, including what worked and didn't work for them)

During the Think Tank we’ll discuss:
- Opportunities and inherent challenges for organizations as applications across categories migrate to multicloud
- Stages of multicloud transformation

TRANSFORM FROM PROJECT TO PRODUCT TO SURVIVE THE AGE OF DIGITAL DISRUPTION Mani Maun
For the last 10 years or so established businesses have faced the threat of digital disruption, the traditional planning, and execution methods no longer seem enough to survive.
The impact from COVID-19, in a matter of months, has sped up the rate of disruption, to an extent that established businesses are struggling to understand and keep up with the new normal. On day 0 of COVID-19, when things started to shut down, faults with the current delivery methods of digital transformation started to surface. Current Planning, budgeting, prioritization, resourcing, operations, and delivery just seems out of place and not relevant anymore.
In the volatile and uncertain times, we are in, traditional managerial frameworks and infrastructure models cannot keep up with demands being placed on them.
Wikibon is a different type of analyst firm that uses digital technology to conduct and share research on digital business and IT. Presented by Peter Burris and Dave Vellante, here are our 2017 predictions.

Building a business case for cloud and digital transformation: Issues, considerations, and best practices
Cloud computing is a disruptive technology and a key innovation for digital transformation. Attend this session to learn how to address innovations in your SAP projects and kick-start new initiatives that embrace cloud, big data and analytics, and social/digital solutions. You will:
• Review the “next wave” of innovation and business solutions, impacting both IT and Line of Business (LoB)
• Get key insights from industry influencers and experts to assist in building a business case
• Explore case studies from SAP projects, including key results and business impact and best practices to managing innovative project
In the digital world, semi-structured data is as important as transactional, structured data. Both need to be analyzed to create a competitive advantage. Unfortunately, neither the data lake nor the data warehouse are adequate to handle the analysis of both data types.
These slides—based on the webinar from EMA Research and Vertica—delve into the push toward the innovative unified analytics warehouse (UAW), a merging of the data lake and data warehouse.
The study is based on insights from more than 800 organizations and its key goals are to: 1) identify a class of top performing organizations (TPOs - top 20% of the survey based on their performance in managing engineering teams); 2) analyze key capabilities that are having the strongest impact on their TPO status: 3) highlight business benefits of being a part of the top performing class.
Observability is the most important capability needed to manage the development, deployment, and operation of modern systems.
These slides—based on the webinar with EMA Research and LightStep--explore the importance of observability and how to address this capability for complex systems.

Building a Data Streaming Center of Excellence With Steve Gonzalez and Derek Kane | Current 2022
How do you accelerate success with data streaming at your organization? After developing an interest and recognizing the potential value in using Data Streaming technologies like Apache Kafka, organizations often struggle with implementing best practices at scale, and subsequently struggle in navigating the path to desired returns on investment (ROI).
This talk explores a solution to overcome common roadblocks and delays to realizing value at your organization - building a Data Streaming Center of Excellence (CoE). We will discuss the keys to success including workstreams and services required of a CoE, repeatable standards and guidance, supporting a community of practice, and more. You will see examples of use case templates, runbooks and documentation, team structures, and in general garner a better understanding of how you may implement a CoE given your unique culture, priorities, and streaming maturity level.
This will be an introductory-level talk that appeals to technical as well as non-technical personnel considering or building a central shared service offering for an organization. It is also ideal for managers or executives wondering how they might drive accelerated, large-scale adoption of data streaming across their enterprise in a governed, repeatable fashion.
