Creating a Successful API Program to Drive Digital TransformationPerficient, Inc.
API management is a driving discipline in the digital transformation movement that can unlock tremendous business value. Because APIs intersect at IT and the business, it’s important to understand how they can be used. APIs can connect inventory management with resource planning for better operational efficiency, integrate with partner organizations for increased sales, and push data to and from a mobile device for the connected enterprise and consumer. The core concepts of APIs are technical in nature, but their business applications are almost limitless.
Creating a successful API program goes way beyond choosing the right tool. The supporting components and disciplines (some tried and true and some emerging) around API management are a critical component of the comprehensive picture.
In this webinar, we discussed:
-The building blocks of a strong API program
-How to get executive buy-in
-Supporting components and disciplines of API management
-How APIs help to build a world-class digital business

Leveraging Data in Financial Services to Meet Regulatory Requirements and Cre...Perficient, Inc.
Regulators have increased their scrutiny on the financial services industry in recent years and have levied fines against banks of all sizes – fines that have reached into the billions of dollars.
Because of this, the financial services industry is focusing considerable time and expense on capturing data to meet regulatory requirements in reporting, risk management, and compliance. Gathering, enhancing, and reporting the required data from multiple applications to meet regulatory demands is a significant challenge, and firms often address these data challenges as one-off projects with the objective of complying with a single regulation rather than improving risk management overall. Mergers and acquisitions further complicate these efforts by increasing the number of systems that information needs to be pulled from.
Meanwhile, revenue-generating exercises that could benefit from the availability of better client and market information often go unfunded due to an over-arching focus on regulatory compliance.
Rather than structure your data project as a tactical approach to meet regulatory requirements, learn how your data investment can drive true cost savings, fine avoidance, revenue creation, and competitive advantage.
This event promises:
• An experienced point of view on current regulatory, compliance and anti-money laundering issues that financial institutions are facing.
• Pros and cons of tactical versus strategic approaches to meeting regulatory requirements, specifically around data governance,
• Examples of how you can leverage data governance to drive compliance as well as competitive advantage.

In the past years of Big Data and digital transformation “euphoria”, Hadoop and Spark received most of the attention as platforms for large-scale data management and analytics. Data warehouses based on relational database technology, for a variety of reasons, came under scrutiny as perhaps no longer needed.
However, if there is anything users have learned recently it’s that the mission of data warehouses is as vital as ever. Cost and operational deficiencies can be overcome with a combination of cloud computing and open source software, and by leveraging the same economics of traditional big data projects - scale-up and scale-out at commodity pricing.
In this webinar, Neil Raden from Hired Brains Research makes the case that an evolved data warehouse implementation continues to play a vital role in the enterprise, providing unique business value that actually aids digital transformation. Attendees will learn:
- How the role of the data warehouse has evolved over time
- Why Hadoop and Spark are not replacements for the data warehouse
- How the data warehouse supports digital transformation initiatives
- Real-life examples of data warehousing in digital transformation scenarios
- Advice and best practices for evolving your own data warehouse practice

Cloud Foundry: Cloud Native, Community, and MomentumVMware Tanzu
SpringOne Platform 2016
Speaker: Jared Wray; Jared Wray, Builder, Founder, Investor, CFF
Jared Wray is an early cloud pioneer and a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for building platforms and robotics.
As founder and CTO of Tier 3, Wray created the Tier 3 cloud and built it into an industry-recognized cloud innovation and performance leader. CenturyLink acquired Tier 3 in 2013 to form the foundation of CenturyLink Cloud.
Wray is a respected thought-leader in the enterprise cloud services space. He created the Iron Foundry open source project to enable .NET on the Cloud Foundry.
At CenturyLink, Wray reinvigorated the engineering core to create a future-proofed platform and engine. The team's’ velocity doubled under Wray’s leadership and this velocity outpaced 75% of the Gartner MQ in new services and features.
Focusing on building teams at scale, Wray introduced an agile / lean manufacturing process over the standard waterfall process. This reduced the company’s average ship time from 18 months to just 21 days or less. This process was integrated into the engineering core for all hosting / cloud products at CenturyLink and has supported substantial growth as the company scaled from six core teams on the cloud to more than 30+ teams.
A serial entrepreneur and advocate for founders, Wray builds and invests in companies. He works hard to enable companies and further the tech industry. Wray is an advisor and investor to companies including Promoter.io and Fons.
When two large companies merge, it often takes a while – years in some cases – before processes get redesigned to span all departments, and the new organization settles into a lean and profitable machine. And the same is true of OSS/BSS. These systems have been designed for two different purposes: to keep the network operational and to keep it profitable. But today’s demanding networks need the functions of both of these systems to work together, and to work across the varying lifecycles of products and services.

Refactoring the Factory: Building a Cloud-Native App Transformation FactoryVMware Tanzu
How is managing a massive cloud-native transformation effort different than the "application modernization factories" that have been around for years? Transforming or modernizing a portfolio consisting of hundreds of existing (aka, “brownfield”) applications is an enormous undertaking that requires a highly talented, cross-functional team.
Attend this webinar with Pivotal, CGI, and 451 Research’s Carl Brooks to learn about the nuts and bolts of managing cloud-native application transformation at scale. After an overview from 451 Research, we’ll dive deep on the roles, tools, and processes required to create a well-run, cloud-native application transformation.
Join us to hear how to replicate this success in your own organization!

The demand for BI continues to grow, and while there's no question that analytics brings value, there is often uncertainty about how BI initiatives will deliver bottom-line benefits. Your business case for BI should prove ROI, but this is not always a straightforward process.

four use cases included in this APAC CC
report:
• Regional Network

• High-Capacity Network
• Low-Latency Network
To be included in this CC report,
CenturyLink demonstrated that it met the
following criteria:
• Provides all the network services listed
for evaluation (managed MPLS VPN,
Ethernet, Internet Access, and Managed
WAN Optimization/APM)
• Provides connectivity to 13 major
markets in Asia/Pacific, eight of which
must be on their own network
infrastructure. (VNOs that resell other
providers' services are excluded.)

Asia/Pacific network-only contracts, with
total annual value of as little as
$500,000.

CenturyLink Enters 2015 Gartner Critical Capabilities for
Network Services, Asia/Pacific Report for the First Time
27. Key Messages to the Market (Response Deck)
• CenturyLink has expanded its enterprise networking presence to better serve
major APAC markets
• CenturyLink plans to continue expanding its infrastructure and enhancing its
product portfolio in APAC to provide next-generation, virtualized services
• With the combined capabilities of CenturyLink’s legacy Qwest and Savvis
networks, CenturyLink can serve the needs of APAC-based MNCs, APAC-based
financial service providers, and U.S.-based MNCs and government agencies with
branches in APAC
• Gartner Recognizes CenturyLink’s:
‒ Robust IP VPN network featuring dual PoPs in 13 major markets to meet the
resiliency requirements of APAC-based financial services companies
‒ Expanded network connectivity to serve all CenturyLink data centers in APAC in
support of managed hosting, colocation, and cloud services
‒ Choice of Ethernet services, including EPL, E-VPL, and ELAN service
‒ Pricing competitiveness
‒ Viability for customers with basic connectivity needs
27
28. • Late entrant to the market
• Limited range of managed services and primarily a connectivity provider at this
stage
• Small customer base with a limited performance track record
CenturyLink Response
• CenturyLink is now actively expanding its in-country sales and support
capabilities in APAC and the ongoing global roll our of our new SDN/NFV
platform enables CenturyLink to deploy next-generation managed services
as cloud-based apps faster and with more agility than APAC carriers still
dependent on legacy network infrastructure. Thus, leveraging the
capabilities of our new platform, our many years of experience fulfilling the
demanding needs of U.S. embassies and consulates based through out
APAC, our aggressive pricing, and our expanded infrastructure capabilities,
CenturyLink will grow our customer base and track record for service
excellence in APAC.

Subject: Re: Just published: Gartner MQ for Cloud
I’m just circling back to report out on the amazing results we saw from the early promotions on the Cloud MQ. We had first mover advantage and were
almost a full day ahead of the other players with our demand gen page and social campaign – so much so that we got a tweet from the Gartner lead cloud
analyst, Lydia Leong, who called the team’s efforts “impressive!”
A list of results is below and is also enclosed along with some representative samples of the work. Please note the almost 650 form conversions and
the very significant spike in web traffic. We’ll continue to report results in our regular campaign updates.

Given the current market dynamics we just discussed, CenturyLink believes that transforming our company successfully in this fashion is important for our basic survival and foundational for our ongoing success and growth.
Both our board of directors and C-level executives are 100% committed to making this transformation as rapidly as possible to continue to serve our business customers’ needs and requirements and to continue meeting or exceeding our investors’ expectations for a strong and stable rate of return on a quarter over quarter, year over year, and longer basis.
Today I’m going to describe CenturyLink’s approach to really getting the most out of our major evaluation/major landscape reports.
First I’m going to set the stage a bit so you understand the context and culture I’m working within,, and why we decided a formalized approach was necessary, and then I’ll step you through the two approaches we’ve designed and describe the ‘whys and hows’ for each.

Over the last 7 years, CenturyLink has demonstrated its ongoing commitment to transforming itself by acquiring an ongoing series of companies that have aggressively increased the scale of our global enterprise network and colocation, hosting, and cloud computing capabilities and positioned us to participate in markets new to us such as Big Data, analytics as a service, and database as a service to name a few.
And CenturyLink continuously looks at additional strategic acquisitions whenever it makes sense and will add shareholder value.
