Master the Ever Expanding Puzzle of End-User Computing with a Strategy and Ro...Info-Tech Research Group
Develop a strategy and roadmap to fit all the end-user computing pieces together and prioritize trends in your organization.
Your Challenge
The end-user computing landscape continues to grow more and more complex.
Developing a strategy and roadmap that meet the capabilities of IT and the needs of end users is more and more important.
Organizations need to focus on more than just the technology – people and processes need focus too.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
The number of options available for end-user computing today—complicated by trends like mobility, consumerization, and BYOD—can be overwhelming for infrastructure managers developing a long-term strategy.
Blindly following trends results in wasted effort and spending when initiatives have not been designed to fit together.
An end-user computing strategy is not only about technology. Processes and people are equally important if a strategy is to be successful.
Most strategies are stuck years in the past. Users have evolved faster than IT. Catch up, and ensure that your strategy is ready for the next decade.
Focus on the user, not the device. A locked-down PC is obsolete.
Impact and Result
A well-planned end-user computing strategy can:
Improve the lives of users by enabling access to company resources in a way that fits their use cases.
Improve the lives of IT by implementing the most efficient tools for deploying, managing, and supporting end-user computing resources.
Improve the business by reducing wasted spending and identifying new revenue opportunities enabled by new end-user computing trends.
Develop an end-user computing strategy and roadmap that fits all the pieces together, and then communicate the plan with a set of simple documents.

Leading Business Disruption Strategy with EA - Hugh EvansCraig Martin
A Digital disruption presentation delivered as a webinar to the Open Group by Hugh Evans - CEO of Enterprise Architects.
The world is undergoing unprecedented change, driven largely by developments in digital technologies.
Organizations must now consider how to invent new business models as well as new products and services, and they must hone their transformational capabilities to rapidly execute on these plans.
In the recently published Hype Cycle for Enterprise Architecture 2013 Gartner places disruptive forces at the center of the emerging EA mandate:
"Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a discipline for proactively and holistically leading enterprise responses to disruptive forces by identifying and analyzing the execution of change toward desired business vision and outcomes."
"EA practitioners have the opportunity to take a quantum leap toward not only becoming integral to the business, but also leading business change."
[Source: Hype Cycle for Enterprise Architecture 2013, Gartner 2013]
Today, businesses are being forced to come to terms with their vulnerability and opportunities when it comes to disruptive innovation. Enterprise Architecture, by leveraging its emergent business architecture capabilities and its traditional technology and innovation focus, has the opportunity to fill a key void, aiding businesses to win in this new world.
This webinar will explore how EA can drive an organization’s disruptive agenda.
The 10-Step Knowledge Management Road map
They copied all that they could follow but they could not copy my mind, and I left 'em sweating and stealing and a year and half behind —Rudyard Kipling.
IN THIS CHAPTER
• Understand the 10-step knowledge management roadmap and how it applies to your company.
• Understand the four phases constituting these 10 steps: infrastructural evaluation; KM system analysis, design, and development; deployment; and evaluation.
• Understand where each step takes you.
• Articulate a clear link between KM and business strategy to maximize performance and impact on your company's bottom line.
• Learn how to prioritize KM processes to maximize business impact.
• Understand the key steps involved in knowledge auditing, knowledge mapping, strategic grounding, deployment methodology, teaming, change management, and ROI metrics formation.
Knowledge management is a complex activity, and like anything else that cannot deliver business impact without a concrete plan, it needs a perfect plan. This chapter introduces that plan: the 10-step knowledge management roadmap that will guide you through the entire process of creating a business-driven knowledge management strategy, designing, developing, and implementing a knowledge management system and effecting the soft changes that are required to make them work—with your company in mind. I chose to describe this plan as a roadmap rather than relegating it to the status of a methodology. A methodology undermines the level of complexity that is actually involved in managing knowledge and gives it a deceptive look of a cookie-cutter formulation.
May your competitors who thought that bleeding-edge technology was their nirvana rest in peace. For nothing—no technology, no market share, no product, and no monopoly— can ever provide a competitive advantage that is anything but temporary: They can all be copied, sometimes easily and sometimes with a little effort. Knowledge is the only resource that cannot be easily copied. Knowledge is much like copy protection: Even if your competitors get to it, they cannot apply it, for knowledge is protected by context in as copy-protected software is protected by encryption.
This strengthening idiosyncrasy of knowledge also has a negative implication for you: You cannot easily copy a competitor's knowledge management strategy and system.
Examples from your industry's leaders can be useful for understanding knowledge management, but they cannot show you the right way to do it. For these reasons, your
knowledge management system and knowledge management strategy will have to be unique to your company.
What follows in the next four sections of this book is an explication of the roadmap—not imitable methodology—that will help focus on your own company and develop a
knowledge strategy whose results are hard hitting, but one that no competitor can easily duplicate. They can co

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
