D. Delivering the Right Workloads — Anywhere E. Staffing and Leadership
Disruptive trends and technologies are challenging for incumbent enterprises, forcing them to rethink their business models to support and enable business initiatives. This track explores the balance between ensuring operational stability and tapping into emerging trends and technologies.
A. Disruptive Technologies and Trends
Enterprise IT has embraced the concept of multi-cloud as an accepted delivery model for many enterprise applications. This track explores concerns about how best to balance between cloud computing as “the answer” and cloud computing as one of many options for IT to support the business.
B. Cloud Migration Strategies
Modern, cloud-based applications and infrastructure are increasingly distributed, fragmented and complex, creating a management nightmare. This track is focused on new approaches to managing workloads and operations, wherever they are, based on the concepts of systems observability.
C. Cloud and Operations Management
I&O leaders must redefine the mission of IT operations to focus on delivering positive, secure, business outcomes. This track focuses on the infrastructure and operational processes, technologies and human capabilities that enable rapid development and delivery of workloads and applications for the business.
D. Delivering the Right Workloads — Anywhere
Leadership matters now more than ever. New roles demand a view across infrastructure, software and services, focused on delivering maximum customer and business value. This track focuses on the need for essentialism in leadership today, while tapping into new key roles across the organization.
E. Staffing and Leadership
