IT Financial Management Series - Part 1: Defining a Model to Effectively Run ...UMT
"This is the first part of the IT financial management series. In this webinar, Charlie Curcio, IT CFO shares his experience in defining what it means to Run the Business of IT.
On average companies spend 5% of the total operating budget on IT, increasing pressure on executives to reduce costs, communicate value and align IT investments with business priorities to drive a competitive advantage.
Today, many high performing IT organizations are adopting Integrated IT Portfolio Analysis (IIPA) best practices to effectively Run the Business of IT. Developing a holistic data model and financial framework is key to driving transparency across disparate IT domains and providing accurate and reliable metrics to enhance decision making."

80% of SMBs in North America now indicate that cloud computing adds to continued business growth, according to a new investigation from Techaisle. This is a big departure from earlier years, when the focus was primarily on reducing IT expenditures. The report results indicate that cloud computing providers and resellers should rightly expand their sales presentations with prospective customers beyond the cost and capex vs. opex motivations for moving to cloud computing, concentrating more on the business value proposition of cloud-based services.
Digital transformation: New purpose for enterprise architectureJason Bloomberg
Digital transformation is a hot topic from the boardroom to the back office. Customer preferences and behavior are driving enterprise technology choices like never before. Rising to this challenge, however, requires more than technology change. In reality, internal organizational change is absolutely necessary to maintain focus on the customer in today’s digital world. Enterprise digital transformation efforts, therefore, involve organizational, process, and technology changes that better connect the customer to the technology systems of record. To the enterprise architect, such initiatives sound like a perfect application of enterprise architecture. Only most organizations don’t see this connection. This session will provide a clear definition of digital transformation and will connect the dots from the business priority to the role of the enterprise architect. Attendees will come away with a better appreciation of how to position EA for a leadership position in today's enterprise digital transformation initiatives.
Modern Enterprise Service Management: Which Vendor is Right for Your Business?EasyVista
In tomorrow’s “Everything-as-a-Service World” there will not be a one-size-fits-all approach to selecting the best service management partners for your business. What’s just right for you might be completely wrong for someone else. What is certain is that choosing tomorrow’s ITSM platform based on yesterday’s requirements is a recipe for disaster. So what should you be planning for and who should you be considering?
Pink Elephant’s George Spalding dives into some of the trends shaping the industry. Joining him is Dennis Callaghan, Senior Enterprise Software Analyst with 451 Research, who reviews the current vendor landscape and highlights the “best fit” based on business needs.
Topics discussed:
- “SaaS or On Premise?” – the advantages to both, and to choice
- Vendor/Client “Culture Match” – the importance of find the right strategic fit runs deeper than just the technology
- Best of Breed vs. All-in-One” – understanding the pro’s and con’s
- “Customize vs. Vanilla Install” – what’s preferred, and what’s realistic
- “Future Proof” – a checklist to ensure long term success, not just short term gain
This webinar concludes with Russel Jesski, IT Director with FCCI Insurance. Russel will share the process his firm went through, and why they chose to partner with EasyVista.

The leap from modernizing to transforming the enterprise it spaceMaveric Systems
‘Digital transformation’ and ‘IT modernization’ are the latest buzzwords and understandably so. However, there is a discernible gap in their comprehension as they are commonly used interchangeably.
A Digital Enterprise is one that leverages customer, contextual and enterprise data and use new-age technologies to drive exponential business impact. To facilitate digital transformation, enterprises are increasingly setting up Digital Labs/Hubs in geographies with rich product capabilities, such as the Bay Area (US) and Bangalore (India).

Digital Transformation e-book: Taking the 20X20n approach to accelerating Dig...CAST
More information on Digital Transformation here: https://www.castsoftware.com/use-cases/accelerate-it-modernization
The digital transformation wave is hitting its peak. An IDC
study found that global enterprise spending related to digital
experiences is set to reach $1.7 trillion in 2019.
The problem is that companies are spending heavily on
digital transformation, but not getting results: Approximately
59 percent of those polled in the IDC study identified as
companies at a digital impasse—stuck in an early stage of
maturation and struggling to move forward.
Digital transformation frameworks—formalized strategies that
define priorities and create clear technology roadmaps —are
essential to becoming a digitally mature organization. The
20x20n approach gives organizations an iterative, cohesive
base to build their efforts around. It isn’t just a high-level
philosophy, it’s a pragmatic, analytics-driven framework.

Digital Transformation 101 — How Will It Affect Your Business?PECB
Digital transformation means adapting to not only new technologies that are available but also changes in customer expectations, societal shifts, and industry disruptions. Businesses, in responding to these shifts, are needing to become more customer-focused, agile, adaptive to new opportunities, and efficient in order to stay competitive. Digital transformation is how they can rise to meet these expectations at scale.
As businesses undergo digital transformation they implement technology, processes, and big data to solve traditional business problems. These digitized strategies and new business models open up the potential for new streams of income, new partnerships, and a broader reach for the brand.
The webinar will covered:
• What is Digital Transformation?
• How will it affect your business operations?
• How to adapt in the Digital Transformation era?

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

What does Digital Disruption mean for your IT Organisation?
1. Frits de Vroet
Managing Director, C-Insight Australia
What does Digital Disruption mean for
your IT Organisation?
2. Digital Disruption
• Digital Disruption fuelled by
Mobile, Social, Big Data,
Telematics and Cloud
• New entrants reshape the
competitive environment: e.g.
Uber, Airbnb, Google, Amazon,
Square (mobile payments), etc.
• Many organisations respond to
this by developing a “digital
strategy’… so what does that
mean?
3. Digital Strategy
“Digital strategy is the process of specifying an organization's vision, goals, opportunities
and related activities in order to maximize the business benefits of digital initiatives to the
organization.”
• Marketing: Online, branding, social media tracking
• Product design: User experience, features, functionality
• Operations: process design & standardisation, digitisation of forms & interactions,
preventative interventions
• IT: security, governance, integration, data analytics(?)
4. Technology-driven or Digital
Business Transformation
• Mobility is an element of most digital
business transformation initiatives
• Digital business transformation expands
beyond marketing
• Digital business transformation is a C-level
accountability
• It is less about technology and more about
business outcomes
• Data analytics is a core transformation
capability
• Business transformation affects the business
operating model, process ownership,
process & data architecture, and the IT
landscape
5. Current ‘distractions’ for IT
• Focus on maintenance and/or
upgrade of legacy platforms
• Run/Build spend: 80/20%
• Maintain or reduce current level of
cost
• (Un)controlled adoption of new
solutions leveraging SaaS, PaaS,
etc.
New requirements
• Leverage cloud
• Improve time-to-market
• Facilitate new products,
digitisation
• Provide data analytics
• Provide integration
• Ensure security
6. Threats for IT
Losing control – ability of functions and employees to go at it alone
Rogue IT (top CIOs control about 65% of total IT spend)
Diminishing value of traditional IT organisation
Big legacy systems that require IT (and business) transformation – this
nowadays includes SAP, Oracle and MSFT ERP platforms…
25% of CIOs is perceived as a true business peer; 48% is seen as a cost centre
or service provider and primarily manage IT crises…
7. Changing role of IT
Traditional
• Gather business requirements
• Build or source an application and
required infrastructure
• Educate ‘the business’ on how to
use the tool
• Ensure availability, performance, etc.
• Manage IT crises
Now
• Adapt and absorb technologies
• Align and facilitate within the
organisation
• Combine and integrate applications,
data and vendors
• Manage business and vendor
relationships
• Avoid IT crises?
8. IT Transformation considerations
Application and infrastructure landscape
• Big bang replacement - multi year program, high risk, opportunity to establish aligned
product/process/data/IT architecture
• Staged adoption of cloud-based services - software elements followed by hardware
• Working from the fringe inwards - adopting new applications while slowly ‘undressing’
the legacy platform until a small base remains - this requires strong roadmaps for
apps and infrastructure
Organisation
• Go bimodal: establish separate IT functions for development and implementation of
new platform and running the legacy - due to different capabilities, etc.
• Sourcing strategy
• New skills and capabilities – data scientists, cloud brokers, vendor management
• IT operating model
9. Critical elements
• Develop a vision and strategy supported by detailed application and infrastructure
roadmaps
• Engage broadly to drive alignment between business process optimisation and IT
functionality
• Set clear and understandable standards for process, data and IT architecture
• Excel at Integration
• Establish and maintain governance
