CONFERENCE AGENDA

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

9:00am – 10:00am: Cloud Adoption Unleashed: Accelerating Business Growth and Transformation – Tackling Organizational Mindset and Architectural Challenges for Effective Cloud Adoption

 

In the dynamic and rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses must continuously adapt and innovate to maintain a competitive edge. Although cloud adoption has proven to be a vital catalyst for enhancing business operations and driving growth, numerous organizations find it difficult to harness its full transformative power due to hindrances rooted in legacy IT infrastructure.

 

This engaging and interactive session will examine the two main obstacles impeding this challenge: 1) organizational mindset, and 2) architectural design and operational proficiency. Join us on this enlightening journey as we delve into the complexities of cloud adoption and its repercussions on business performance and expansion.

 

 

We will explore practical strategies to bridge these gaps, empowering your organization to optimize and modernize its IT infrastructure, which naturally unlocks cloud’s potential for unprecedented business growth.

11:30am – 12:30pm: Cloud Resilience Strategies for Avoiding a False Sense of Security

 

The cloud brings a false sense of security. The belief that, “We’re in the cloud. We’re good.” isn’t enough for today’s always-on businesses. With the cloud, there is no easy button and the tendency to outsource responsibility in addition to technology is pervasive.

 

In this session, we will discuss what this false sense of security is, what happens when you have to recover and how you can plan for and control critical aspects of your infrastructure and DR posture with intelligent planning.
