Overview

 

Every decade we see massive changes in the IT industry. In the 80s we saw desktop computing flourish, and progressed to a client server model in the 90s. Mobile computing grew quickly in 2000 and beyond. 2017 presents a variety of technologies that may deliver IT efficiencies on a grand scale. Technologies and trends such as AI and Advanced Machine Learning, Intelligent Apps, Intelligent Things, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Digital Twin, Blockchain and Distributed Ledgers, Conversational System, Mesh App and Service Architecture, Digital Technology Platforms, Adaptive Security Architecture., and others may be game changers. How will you capitalize on these technologies, but more importantly how will your Enterprise Architecture embrace the digital world to support all the changes?

Conference Program


8:00am – 9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast


9:00am-10:00am: Enterprise Architecture Enabling Digital Business Transformation


Praveen Moturu, Chief Enterprise Architect, Mars, Inc.

 

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is the technical framework of an enterprise but it also transcends technology and integrates with the business. Therefore, the discussion and implementation of EA needs to done in an integrated, holistic manner. An integrated EA (business and technical) can provide the necessary support for a business transformation that makes the business ready for the variety of business and technological challenges it will face. For example, technologies such Big Data, mobile and cloud computing are all highly disruptive technologies that require a fine balance between their business and technical aspects as the organization moves forward.

 

In this session, attendees will learn how to they need to reinvent and/or refine their EA to embrace a digital transformation.

 

Content that will be covered:

  • How to drive business agility
  • An agile approach to drive business agility
  • How to pull together Cloud, mobile, Agile development, and DevOps to drive rapid product development

11:30am-12:30pm: 5 Architecture Considerations for Highly Innovative CIOs

 

Dan Wilson, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Progress

 

Your application architecture will make or break digital transformation efforts critical to innovation. As technology executives, we know we can’t simply start over, we have to leverage existing systems while transitioning to a cloud-native architecture.

Join industry veteran Dan Wilson, as he discusses five architecture considerations necessary to overcome digital complexity while mitigating cost, compliance and other major concerns.

12:30pm – 1:30pm Luncheon


1:30pm-2:30pm: Data Lakes Don’t Have To Be Camp Crystal Lake

 

Kevin McGinley, Field CTO, Snowflake Computing

 

The concept of the Data Lake is becoming an ugly word in data architectures, with the term “Data Swamp” often being substituted instead. This session will explore how to use a better design to solve the “Data Swamp” problem and how the Cloud can be an enabler for obtaining more value from a Data Lake.

 

In this session, attendees will learn:

  • What are the challenges companies are facing delivering a valuable Data Lake?
  • What architecture design approaches can be used to deliver a more valuable Data Lake?
  • How would you implement those architecture design approaches in the cloud?
  • What capabilities should you look for in a PaaS or SaaS offering when building a Data Lake in the cloud?

2:30pm – 3:00pm: Refreshment Break


3:00pm-4:00pm: The Chicken and the Egg: Application Visibility and the path to Enterprise Microsegmentation

 

Matt Johnson, Regional Systems Engineer, Illumio

 

80% of data traffic today is inside the network. Microsegmentation could be the answer to regulatory compliance, internal GRC, cloud strategy, and data center transformation. But how do you get there? An introduction to Application Dependency Mapping and Microsegmentation strategies.
