More than five years ago, Frequentis introduced agile development methods in the department of air traffic management to coordinate projects and product development of safety-critical applications out of dispersed and distributed teams in two countries.
This talk presents the approach used, questions that arose, decisions taken, the observed results, impact on team motivation, and lessons learned throughout the process.
Since then, agile methodologies have rolled out across the company into all departments, and into dispersed and distributed teams in several countries. Agility as a core value is dispersing throughout the company – from team level to corporate overview.
Witness the transformation of a waterfall-driven business into an increasingly agile organization!
AVEVA World Conference NA - Tom Singer, Aker SolutionsVanessa Erickson
Aker Solutions has an ambitious digitalization agenda and a long technology development relationship with AVEVA. This presentation shares examples of how Aker Solutions solves complex business problems with many stakeholders in 3D, using innovative engineering automation and connecting data.
Use cases both from the field concept phase and from project execution are included, showing that data driven decisions result in a better business case throughout field life while reducing risk in project execution.

In today’s digital world building a new modern IT solution usually requires to interact with different cloud services and existing on-prem systems. The rising popularity of agile software development combined with DevOps approaches also smooth the way for loosely coupled and self-contained systems based on microservices. A modern solution certainly has the need to plug and play different services as we scramble to take advantage of commodity systems in the market. By having the ability to swap out existing services with new ones increases our ability to leverage from them without the high cost of change that is prevalent in more monolithic architectures.
On the other hand such hybrid architectures often struggle with a consistent end-to-end monitoring, tracing and logging across their entire stack. The goal of this session is to provide an overview how hybrid architectures can be managed by using a real-time monitoring approach that covers both worlds: on-prem as well as multi cloud. As part of this architectural conceptual considerations with different use-case samples will be shown.

Collaboration in Supply Chain Networks: #4 Think Ecosystemsinet-logistics
The business strategist James Moore, who coined the term ‘business ecosystem’ said, “Innovative businesses can’t evolve in a vacuum. They must attract resources of all sorts, drawing in capital, partners, suppliers, and customers to create cooperative networks.” Today we see a large number of organizations existing in multiple overlapping and interconnected businesses, supported by vital and complex supply chains.
CWIN17 Toulouse / Automation and release management j.dorgueilh-cwin17Capgemini
Our customers are or will be multi-cloud (private and public). Cloud management
platform and automation are part of the necessary arsenal supporting this
strategy.
A tool-centric approach is not sufficient, the heterogeneity of the cloud platforms
and the specific value-added services proposed invites us to push further our
reflection on the use of these tools to allow : the deployment of cloud native
applications or not, application migration to the public cloud, and reversibility of
these applications.
Application Managed Services is becoming a complex umbrella of services – everything related to your application IT landscape is included in a vendor’s service catalog. Yet, we have seen that most clients are dissatisfied with their vendors as they are failing to deliver upon the promise of their Application Managed Services contract.
Are you among those clients who have signed up with a Managed Services vendor and are falling short of the requirements from your business team or from your CIO’s objectives?
Application Managed services, as the name suggests, should encompass an end-to-end service that is provided to your organization, where the goals of both the vendor and the client are aligned, and where there is a joint effort to fill in the gaps that are left undefined in the contract.
Every Managed Service contract is entered with the objectives of lowering the total cost of ownership while improving the quality of the services. However, how this benefit is accrued by your business is left unaddressed in most contracts.
The key questions addressed by this presentation include:
• How can Managed Services Engagement drive Transformation?
• How can automation be applied effectively in order to meet business objectives, not just technology goals?
• How a well-structured approach to defining a Managed Services contract can benefit your business over the long term?
• How effective Governance of a Managed Services contract is as important as defining the contract itself?
If you have been working on defining a managed services contract or facing any of the challenges listed above, do attend our webinar to understand more about Managed Services engagement as well as the frameworks and tools that are used to simplify the journey for your organization.

Collaboration in digital supply chains is usually associated with the adoption of technological tools and digitalization. A platform like a Transportation Management System (TMS) facilitates the connection between all actors and systems involved. Yet, one must not forget that in most cases the implementation of such digital collaboration platforms implies major changes in supply chain processes and thus the way of working of everybody involved.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
