In IT we have too many data sources, not enough resources, and too many discourses about what to do about it. We love to talk about Unified IT at Ivanti, but what does that look like? Come see the future of IT with Ivanti Cloud.
In this webinar, we’ll have short discussions with the Ivanti Cloud Product Team around topics like: 1) The state of IT in the Cloud, 2) How Unified IT has to start with unified data, 3) Instant data vs. trending data vs. aggregated data, 4) Interesting customer use cases we’ve seen so far using Ivanti Cloud. Join us and discover what you can do for IT in the Cloud.
Maximizing Service Maps To Include The Critical CIs on The MainframePrecisely
ServiceNow offers IT operations management (ITOM) solutions that deliver enhanced visibility, automation, and operational intelligence to keep business services up and running. Customers using Service Mapping with Discovery are able to resolve service outages, optimize service architectures, and assess the service impact of infrastructure changes. However, the ServiceNow platform does not support your mainframe and IBM i environments by default – leaving a huge gap in your service maps and risking costly downtime when outages occur.
Learn how you can seamlessly integrate mainframe and IBM i systems into your ServiceNow IT Workflows so you can eliminate manual processes, increase productivity and respond faster to improve service availability across your business. By leveraging Ironstream for Service Mapping customers are able to drive self-aware operations, accelerate their hybrid-strategy, and get more out of their ServiceNow and legacy IBM investment.
Topics will include:
• How to get more out of ServiceNow Service Mapping by including your legacy IBM systems
• How to extend ServiceNow Discovery to auto-populate your CMDB
• Customer use cases and examples
The need for unified endpoint management is imperative as more and more corporations are allowing employees to work remotely and the line between personal and corporate devices becomes blurred. For enterprises, the pressure point is the need to comprehensively manage and track all devices that are connecting to corporate resources. And we’re on point to help you address this challenge.
Justifying Capacity Management Efforts with Provable and Positive ROIPrecisely
You are already spending time and money to handle the critical need to manage systems capacity, performance and planning. But, are you spending wisely? Are you getting the level of results from your investment that you really need? Can you prove it?
Having underutilized or idle resources can be just as harmful to your business as not having enough processing capacity or network bandwidth. Failure to do effective Capacity Planning becomes clearly visible to your customers, especially your internal customers.
The good news is that the return on investment of implementing capacity management and capacity planning is most definitely positive and provable, both in terms of tangible monetary value and in some less tangible but no-less-valuable benefits.
View this webinar on-demand and learn:
• The core requirements that need to be part of your capacity management tools
• Tangible Return on Investment opportunities you can expect to realize
• What some of the non-tangible benefits from Capacity Management are
• Ways to demonstrate these benefits to your company
Designed a solution which consolidates and integrates the information available with investment managers spread worldwide, empowering managers to access important information related to their portfolio contacts and workflows on the move.

Presentation from Henry Stewart NY in May of 2013. Discussion about planning and techniques for the program management phase of a digital asset management (DAM) implementation. Presented by John Florance and Arsalan Siddiqui.
The effective management of a VDI environment, post-implementation, is a major challenge faced by many organizations. To tackle the issue, a proper strategy needs to be devised before the implementation stage itself. Operationalization is the answer.
The operationalization of the VDI must be performed based on the business requirements of the organization and the different user groups that are going to adapt to the VDI. Microland offers its customers an outcome-based, operationalization-oriented approach to implementing VDI.
This whitepaper discusses various factors such as the importance of operationalization for an effective VDI implementation, the main challenges that are tackled through operationalization, the core focus of operationalization and more.

How to Deliver an Exceptional End User Experience in your Citrix EnvironmenteG Innovations
Citrix Cloud services simplify the delivery and management of Citrix solutions, helping our users to extend their existing on-premises software deployments or even move one hundred percent to the cloud. Citrix Cloud services deploy secure digital workspaces in hours, placing the sensitive app, desktop and data resources on any cloud or hybrid cloud. Accessing the apps, desktops and any data has become easy than ever with Citrix Workspace. Citrix Workspace fully aggregates all apps, data, and files across all applications, and it offers a user-centric experience where everything you need to work is in one unified app, with conditional access and performance made simple based on user context and IT-designed policies.
Citrix Cloud services support the integration with different technologies that vary significantly from one organization to another. The first step for users is to access their provisioned desktops, applications, and files, which is why monitoring the logon performance has become critical for Citrix solutions. That's why eG Innovations provides a free login simulator for Citrix Workspace, through their eG Enterprise solution which is verified as Citrix Ready.
One of the primary requirements by organisations is to achieve exceptional Citrix user experience and service quality. eG Enterprise helps to proactively monitor all aspects of Citrix user experience - login times, application launch times, screen refresh latencies, virtual channel bandwidth usage, etc., and more importantly helps to identify underlying infrastructure tiers to help determine where the root cause of a problem lies; whether it is network, database, application, Citrix, or storage.
Discover how Citrix and eG Innovations combine to provide you with end-to-end performance management and learn how to:
• Deliver a secure digital workspace, and to improve business productivity with a fully integrated digital workspace from any cloud or hybrid cloud.
• Ensure the success of new deployments and migration to Citrix Cloud with pre-built migration reports
• End-to-end monitoring of Citrix services across user experience, session performance, connectivity, licensing, infrastructure health and capacity
• Monitor Citrix services on physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures from Single pane of glass.
A presentation on the challenges around BYOD – and more importantly how to make a successful transition to the next-generation workspace that addresses the technology, security, legal and change management aspects.
In recent EMA research, 89% of survey respondents said they experienced one or more unexpected challenges with their organization’s public cloud. So how do you optimize your public cloud, multi-cloud, and hybrid cloud investments once there?
These slides--based on the webinar from leading IT research firm EMA and Scalable--provide a look at real-world challenges and solutions based on extensive EMA research.
When it comes to the cloud, Gartner may have said it best:
“By 2020, a corporate ‘no-cloud’ policy will be as rare as a corporate ‘no-internet’ policy is today.”
If your organization is still skeptical of the cloud, now is the time to take a closer look. Faster implementation timelines and reduced maintenance costs are just two reasons why the cloud is becoming the standard across all industries.
In our webinar, we dispelled common concerns and explored the benefits of operating in the cloud. We also provided real-world examples of companies that have taken the leap and discovered just how much better business works in the cloud.

Choosing a citrix monitoring strategy key capabilities needed and pitfalls to...eG Innovations
Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop are two of the most performance sensitive technologies in use in enterprise networks today. Slow logins, frequent session disconnects and slow screen refreshes are just some of the common complaints that Citrix administrators have to deal with.
Furthermore, often when a user complains that their desktop is slow or an application is slow to launch, the issue is not in the Citrix tiers – but instead in the network, the virtualization platform, or storage tiers. End-to-end visibility, root-cause diagnosis and proactive alerting are therefore key requirements for Citrix administrators.
Watch this CUGC webinar by Bala Vaidhinathan, CTO of eG Innovations, as he discusses -
- Key requirements for Citrix performance monitoring
- Where Citrix Director helps, and its limitations
- When you will need to consider Citrix NetScaler Insight Center
- The pros and cons of the Citrix management packs for Microsoft SCOM
- How can we augment the built-in Citrix tools, providing end-to-end visibility, rapid diagnosis and advanced reporting for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop
How to Deliver Exceptional End User Experience in Your Citrix EnvironmenteG Innovations
Citrix enables secure End User Computing services across multiple platforms and devices, enabling users to do more, using more devices from more locations. However, these End User Computing services encompass and support many different technologies that vary significantly from one organization to another.
Users getting access to their desktops and applications is the first step, which is why monitoring the logon performance has become critical for Citrix-based IT services. That's why eG Innovations recently announced a Free Logon Simulator for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop. But that's only a first impression. To make a lasting impact on user experience, the applications and desktops being delivered on top of the Citrix service must also perform, and these digital business services will be comprised of many different components from any number of suppliers.
Discover how Citrix and eG Enterprise can combine to provide you with end-to-end performance management that can make a lasting impression your users will love.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
