Live and Let Die: The Need for an AI-Enabled Enterprise
The Internet giants are fully embracing AI. All the services they offer to
their customers are aimed at drawing a map of the world with the data they
get. The AIs from these companies are used to build disruptive approaches
that cannot be used by established enterprises, which are threatened by these
disruptions. However, most leaders underestimate the effect this will have on
their businesses.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Rene Buest, Director Market Research &
Technology Evangelism at Arago, will discuss:
The digital enterprise evolution in the context of artificial intelligence

Preparing for the Next Disruption
By Intellyx Principal Analyst Charles Araujo
I'll never forget the day that I first encountered the Internet. It was 1989
when a friend who worked in aerospace showed it to me - and I immediately
ignored it.
I wasn't alone. Almost everyone missed the true impact it would have on the
world. I originally told this story in my first book, The Quantum Age of IT:
Why Everything You Know About IT is About to Change and went on to explain
how this encounter had precipitated the three market forces that had changed
everything.
These three market forces were:
The consumerization of IT - how consumer technologies changed the
expectations and perceptions of technology consumers The criticality of IT -
how technology moved from a back-office focus to powering every business
process, every customer interaction and virtually every element of the ... (more)

There's a lot to gain from cloud computing, but success requires a thoughtful
and enterprise focused approach. Cloud computing decouples data and
information from the infrastructure on which it lies. A process that is a LOT
more involved than dragging some folders from your desktop to a shared drive.
Cloud computing as a mission transformation activity, not a technological
one.
As an organization moves from local information hosting to the cloud, one of
the most important challenges is addressing cloud computing as a mission
transformation activity, not a technological one. Cloud computing isn't a new
technology. It's a new way of consuming and provisioning information
technology services. Adopting cloud computing means paralleling your mission
processes, rethinking the economic models and abstracting your applicati... (more)

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in
enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and
collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for
long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch.
DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
DevOps at Cloud Expo will expand the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing
of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike. Recent
research has shown that DevOps dramatically reduces development time, the

AI: Is Winter Coming?
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks. We're in the
midst of a wave of excitement around AI such as hasn't been seen for a few
decades. But those previous periods of inflated expectations led to troughs
of disappointment. Will this time be different?
Most likely. Applications of AI such as predictive analytics are already
decreasing costs and improving reliability of industrial machinery.
Furthermore, the funding and research going into AI now comes from a wide
range of commercial firms. It's not solely the province of relatively narrow
government and academic research.
That said, it's easy to look at wins in specific domains and generalize to an
overly optimistic view of AI writ large.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Gordon Haff, Technology Evangelist at Red
Hat, will look at the AI landscape and identify those domains... (more)

Keeping your enterprise data safe and secure is more important now than it ever has been. IT has always been an ever-changing industry, but in recent years, it has been changing more and more quickly. Now, thanks to the cloud, big data, and mobile devices all expanding at once, it may seem like the entire IT field is completely different every other day. This means your company is going to almost always be re-evaluating and upgrading your network security tools and methods. It's hard to deal with the current threats to your data, never mind prepare for new ones.
The size of competitors and the longevity of their brands, are less predictive of future success than the quality and speed of their information logistics systems, and their ability to use it as a competitive advantage.
More data is being generated today than ever before, and successful companies are investing in business analytics and big data solutions to mine competitive advantages. There is a new sense of urgency today as businesses realize data has a shelf life, and the value of it diminishes rapidly over time. In an always-connected world where consumers and their needs are transient,...
The purpose of enterprise architecture is to be able to consciously design an enterprise rather than allowing it to happen randomly and unconsciously. It is worth noting that it implies knowledge of a certain intended outcome or desired state in mind.
Enterprise architecture (EA) is a discipline that enables designing the enterprise consciously and deliberately, rather than letting it happen randomly. EA design is informed by business vision, strategic intent, and insights on the functioning of the enterprise. So the purpose of enterprise architecture is to be able to consciously design an ...
IoT solutions exploit operational data generated by Internet-connected smart “things” for the purpose of gaining operational insight and producing “better outcomes” (for example, create new business models, eliminate unscheduled maintenance, etc.). The explosive proliferation of IoT solutions will result in an exponential growth in the volume of IoT data, precipitating significant Information Governance issues: who owns the IoT data, what are the rights/duties of IoT solutions adopters towards this data, how to deal with Data Residency and Data Privacy issues, how to manage the lifecycle of Io...
Hybrid IT is today’s reality, and while its implementation may seem daunting at times, more and more organizations are migrating to the cloud. In fact, according to SolarWinds 2017 IT Trends Index: Portrait of a Hybrid IT Organization 95 percent of organizations have migrated crucial applications to the cloud in the past year. As such, it’s in every IT professional’s best interest to know what to expect. 
Both SaaS vendors and SaaS buyers are going “all-in” to hyperscale IaaS platforms such as AWS, which is disrupting the SaaS value proposition. Why should the enterprise SaaS consumer pay for the SaaS service if their data is resident in adjacent AWS S3 buckets? If both SaaS sellers and buyers are using the same cloud tools, automation and pay-per-transaction model offered by IaaS platforms, then why not host the “shrink-wrapped” software in the customers’ cloud? Further, serverless computing, cloud marketplaces and DevOps are changing the economics of hosting and delivering software. ...
For a phrase that’s being thrown around a lot recently, what does “Digital Transformation” really mean? When someone says that they want to digitally transform their business, what does one really mean, why do they want to do it, and should they approach this “digital transformation” process? First off, let’s start with a definition. If we don’t know what we are trying to achieve, then how do we know how to get there? Or to quote the famous Greek philosopher Yogi Berra: “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.”
The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved quite rapidly, especially if you consider how long it took for little packet-switching networks like ARPANET to morph into today’s nearly ubiquitous internet. Our nascent IoT ecosystem is already populated by billions of sensors and connected devices, hundreds of millions of servers, and thousands of hybrid clouds serving billions of people… all of them perpetually producing and/or consuming data in an explosion of information.
Digital technology innovations and advancements, and our adoption of them, have changed us. We are different consumers, employers and employees. Our expectations have increased. We have become mobile, impatient and demanding. We are global. We demand immediate, accurate and real-time responses. We use our technology not just for reading historic events and news, but also for predicting our future turn while navigating at 60 MPH.
