A top issue with IT service and support organizations today is how to drive greater business
value from SAP solutions. Most often, the degree of value is directly tied to the decisions
business leaders make on which SAP projects, enhancements, and new solutions they will ask
IT to deliver to their organizations. This presentation will dive into today\'s challenges facing
CIOs, technology delivery executives, and IT project managers: How do you balance the
customers\' demands for SAP enhancements against finite technical resources and managing the
IT portfolio? How do you build close, sustainable relationships with business leaders in order to
drive greater influence on the strategic direction of SAP within their operations? What changes
need to be made within IT itself (organizational structure, job roles, skills) in order to move
from an "order-taker" to a valued partner? This presentation will explore the role of the IT
business partner within Day & Zimmermann - the many successes achieved and challenges
faced in influencing the strategic direction of SAP within its businesses. The presentation will
provide detail on how Day & Zimmermann\'s IT business partners work with executive teams,
their sphere of influence on business and IT decision-making, and driving ownership together
with the interpersonal skills, organizational structure, and IT processes required for strategic
alignment between IT and business stakeholders.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
