Innovations like IoT technology and the cloud have clear benefits: they reduce costs, improve processes and can be rapidly implemented.  Which is great – but only if cybersecurity is baked-in from the start. Sadly, this often isn’t the case: organizations are opening up their networks to new risks.

Cybersecurity needs to take a lead role in any digital transformation discussion.  What steps need to be taken to maintain security as your business continues to digitalize?

This exclusive event is an open discussion about how to ‘Transform Securely’. It’s a chance for you to learn from your peers about how they’re securing digital transformation within their organizations.

Join us and our speaker, Avi Corfas, Skybox Security’s Vice President, will also share industry best practices.

• How can we leverage the data collected?
• Customer data, business data
• Define data as an asset!
• Bundle data, e.g. to expand the range of services and generate value-added impacts on business processes

 

• Value creation and/or value drivers can include:
• • Innovation and service enhancement

  – New products
  – New services
  – Simplified customer experience

  • Optimal and efficient customer service quality
  • Simplified adherence to regulatory and compliance requirements
  • Improved flexibility / agility

• GENERATING DATA

• Supply Chain – Integrated supply chain extending beyond company boundaries, value-added networks from end customers and suppliers all the way to subcontractors
• Inventory Management – Predictive inventory management; when the warehouse can predict its short-term needs, just-in-time delivery
• IoT in the Production Area – Sensor data from production lines, predictive maintenance for machines
• Communication Channels to Customers and Suppliers – People, machines

• USING DATA

• Link the core product and supplementary data-driven services to generate and offer innovative solutions, for example customers lease production capacities instead of purchasing machines, manufacturing as a service

• ADDING VALUE WITH DATA

• New business opportunities (delivering a benefit for a limited time period instead of selling the physical product)
• Increase customer loyalty and reduce competition by providing complementary added value
• Reduce downtime via timely prevention of errors or malfunctions
• Shorter changeover times driven by adaptive production planning
• Reduced inventory levels with predictive planning and real time monitoring of upstream value-added steps
• Enhanced customer service driven by real time monitoring of product performance (B2B vs. B2C)
• Shorter innovation cycles using digital prototypes

Stay relevant in a world of disruption: join Kronos, Christian Kromme – author and futurist keynote speaker – and your industry peers to jointly explore the key areas that business leaders need to focus on to futureproof their businesses in a world of disruption.

Gartner predicts that AI could destroy 1.8 million jobs while at the same time creating a total of 2.3 million new jobs.  A work environment  that connects humans and technology in the right way i s , therefore, a key pillar to success.

During this dinner, we will explore some of the areas that AI will deliver to bottom line performance and what role your employees need to play in the future of your business.

Even with a strong vision and with the best people, strategic initiatives too often fail to execute successfully. Being able to adapt or drive changes in the market through new business models is crucial to remain competitive.  However, the ability to effectively change the operating model is a harder task to manage.  Therefore, transparency in business operations has become a critical competitive weapon.  The company must act as one team, one culture, with the insight of how operations are performing to successfully manage the transformation.

Understanding this, leading organisations are now combining key capabilities into central transformation functions, tasked to streamline strategy execution. Software AG has become a part of these journeys, by providing key business capabilities to support strategy execution.  In this roundtable, we will share and discuss these stories and our vision on 21st-century business transformation.

We are clearly now living in a post-breach world where it is inevitable that advanced threat actors can and will get a foothold in any organization.  With a typical dwell time of 99 days (*FireEye 2018), earlier detection is now critical in containing the intruder before they have a chance to gain access to the Crown Jewels and expose the organization to undue risk.

The evening’s discussion will focus on the role of endpoint-based cyber deception in providing very early detection and hence reducing dwell time to days or even hours. We’ll also look at how deception techniques can be used to view your environment from the attackers perspective and use this information to identify and remove risk.

Join us and understand… The Reality of Breaches.

IDC defines digital transformation (DX) as a set of practices that leverage new business, technology, and operating models to disrupt rivals and markets in pursuit of business performance and growth.  Successful DX relies on converting data into actionable insights, and this reliance on data is contributing to a new era of the data age.

IDC forecasts that by 2025 the global “datasphere” will grow to 163 zettabytes (that’s one trillion gigabytes).  All this data will unlock unique user experiences and a new world of opportunities.

Organizations that embrace data-driven DX are servicing consumers better, solving problems faster and finding new insights, we refer to these as ‘Data Thrivers’.

Successful businesses recognize the importance of Data and Digital Transformation.

Their IT leaders must meet the challenges of building a data-centric organization with limited time, skills, and budget while managing data that is increasingly distributed, dynamic, and diverse.

For many organizations, the rush to the cloud has resulted in data silos that make it impossible to fully leverage and control data.

Imagine a company where everyone loves to work, where employees feel not just “satisfied” but truly cared for, respected, and energised.  Think of the impact this would have on recruitment, retention, customer satisfaction, innovation, and overall performance.

At this Exclusive Lunch we will take you inside Kronos’s highly admired WorkInspired culture, showing the surprisingly simple rules, they can follow to replicate that success.

 

Join Aron Ain, International CEO of Kronos in conversation with Professor Julia Hobsbawn, OBE on February 7th, 2019.

You will be part of the conversation between these two great leaders who will share with you their proven strategies around how to address these topics.

CEOs now view data and the analytic insight derived from it as the key to success. This gives data and analytics leaders a massive opportunity to deliver transformational value to the enterprise.

 

You will find out how you can advance your data and analytics programs. This moderated executive event brings together executives from a broad range of innovative companies together with NetApp and Gartner to network, share perspectives and address key challenges as well as gaining insights on how NetApp can help your company scaling their vision and leadership in Data & Analytics in a complex digital business world.
