Technology is Taking Over - Gain Control of your IT Inventory with Enterprise Technology Management
Technology has become strategic for enterprises and as such it needs to be managed with the same rigor as customers, employees, and finances. Just getting a point-in-time inventory of your technology portfolios is no longer enough to keep them secure, compliant and up-to-date. To truly gain control, companies need to manage endpoints, applications, infrastructure, and networking in real-time, automating their lifecycle processes from purchase to end-of-life. Find out how Enterprise Technology Management can help you establish a key business process system for all technology.

SaaS Intelligence to Power Employee Experience
As SaaS proliferation continues to overwhelm IT teams, data segregation and silos are limiting visibility and collaboration. Many large enterprises now have thousands of SaaS apps in use, and the IT organization may be aware of only a fraction of them. In order to create the best possible experience for their employees, CIOs need to balance the freedom SaaS gives business users with the need for controls, security and cost management.

Exposing the Value of your IT Transformation Programs
Agile project management disciplines and DevOps transformations are no longer seen as cutting edge, thought leading approaches to product delivery but as de-facto standard approaches that IT organizations should be utilizing. Organizations with mature Agile and DevOps approaches are continuing to evolve, improve, and demand more from organizational IT, including insights on the relative success of different product groups and whether significant tool and process investments have simply led to a mindset of "move fast and don't break things" vs. a true value-based delivery mindset. The domain of Value Stream Management is maturing to provide answers to many of the questions asked by businesses, such as "what is the potential value of this change vs. that change" and "if someone thinks of a great idea, how quickly can we get it to market". In this session, join Julian Fish Director of Product and Head of Value Stream Management at Micro Focus as we discuss why Value Stream Management is a critical investment area for high performing organizations, what it means for CIO's, CTO's, and CEO's and how analytics and AI are helping drive business decisions that can impact the future of enterprises.
