Storcom has created this series because we are seeing, just like you, a ton of emails in our inbox on the topic of virtual workspace and remote work options. We felt that it was time to put on a series that was coming from a vendor-agnostic standpoint and really was designed to provide information that you really need to make informed decisions. We hope that we can help cut through the clutter and marketing hype in this series and dig into some of the real questions you need to be asking around any of the topics we are planning to discuss in this series. These seven questions are:
1) How much customization will each employee require?
2) How many applications do my remote users need to have access to?
3) What kind of device will your end-user be utilizing?
4) What do my users need as far as performance to get their work done effectively?
5) Why not choose RDS (remote desktop services)?
6) How are you going to deal with security challenges today?
7) Which financial model do you want to use?

The Biggest Mistake you can make with your Data Center LicensesIvanti
IT is spending more on software than ever before. This most likely leaves you looking for ways to make the most of the software licenses you already have. On top of that, increasingly complex data center environments compound spending on software assets. Limited visibility into those assets could expose your most valuable business-critical applications to significant risk and additional cost.
See how data center discovery ninja Matt Reardon, takes an aggressive approach to gain visibility on complex software licenses so you can start making the most of your IT investments.
#MFSummit2016 Secure: Is your mainframe less secure than your fileserverMicro Focus
For decades, organisations have relied on the mainframe to be a secure vault holding important data. As our businesses look to utilise this data in new ways to maintain competitive advantage, it’s more important than ever that we know who has access, and how we control it. In this session we’ll explore some of the common mainframe security challenges, and how they can be addressed.

End-user computing is not a trend, it's a transformational shiftUni Systems S.M.S.A.
In the new end-user computing environment, people want to stay connected and have access to the best networks and services as a seamless extension of their traditional desktop.
End-user computing is no longer about managing laptops and desktops. Today, we need to support user access to services, applications, and data on any device and in any location.
This revolution promises greater flexibility, productivity enhancements, staff morale improvements, and cost savings.
Your business can benefit from Virtual Desktop Computing.
We live in a mobile world. As a society, we are increasingly becoming more mobile, and our technology is evolving with us. Almost everyone has some form of mobile computer within reach at any given time. Many of us have more than one set of these devices – a personal device and a work device.
The current generation has grown up while being immersed in modern digital technology. The lines between work and personal life are blurred, and this is best shown in how they want to consume technology. The status quo of work devices and personal devices is no longer good enough. The latest generation to enter the workforce wants to be able to work anytime, anywhere, and from any device, and they will expect IT to deliver on this.
In this session, you'll learn how you can deliver an always on workspace that enables the business to work anywhere from any device while keeping security and user experience at the forefront.
The global disruption due to the pandemic has massively impacted organizations and the way they function.
Organizations are shifting towards a virtual environment by adopting cloud and automation to support,
monitor, and deploy exceptional service to their end-users. But how to keep the end-users connected to the
digital workplace securely during disruption is a big challenge
Preparing for Mobile Device Management & Bring your Own DeviceWaterstons Ltd
Smart phones and tablets are invading the business environment at top speed, with “bring your own device” (BYOD) providing a number of benefits for organisations across all sectors. With the right implementation, and ongoing secure support, performance through technology can be achieved in areas such as employee satisfaction, cost reduction, team work and collaboration and productivity.
Charlie Hales and Nigel Robson cover the important considerations a business should make before implementing an MDM/BYOD strategy, and will consider the ongoing implications of allowing corporate data to be accessed on personal devices ensuring the maximum benefit to businesses, customers and the end users.
Why Should Businesses Deploy DaaS in 2021?vDesk.Works
Modern desktop as a service providers have been focusing on providing a self-service solution to businesses which allows them to gain visibility and control over their current real estate cost of PCs and workspaces. It is possible for them to provision new virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) quickly without purchasing and prepping the required hardware or software.
Mobile device management and BYOD – simple changes, big benefitsWaterstons Ltd
In the second in the series of seminars Charlie Hales and Nigel Robson will demonstrate how your business could use technologies it may have already invested in, such as System Center Configuration manager (SCCM) and Exchange to enable its Mobile Device Management (MDM) & BYOD strategies.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
