Debating Critical Themes

See Agenda
01

A Strategy for Next Generation Cloud

Hear cloud migration lessons that help define tech strategy and vision, and drive forward new and innovative ways of using cloud-based technologies.
02

Cloud Adoption Strategies

Despite being typified as “done” by some companies, a recent study indicates only 16% of companies have an effective cloud strategy covering both business and tech objectives. So, why adopt Cloud? How can we avoid massive wholesale migrations which often run out of steam?
03

Optimising Hybrid Architectures

Almost everyone either has an accidental or deliberate hybrid architecture with apps and workloads in transition. What are the most effective strategies and operating models? How do you take success enterprise wide?
04

Effective FinOps & Cost Optimisation

The myths have burst around cloud costs simply being a shift from Capex to Opex, making things cheaper, forecastable, and being owned by Technology. Getting FinOps, forecasting, budgets and cross-functional responsibilities correct is critical to manage finances and missed expectations in modern business.
05

Infrastructure Operations: Modernise or Die?

We are still hamstrung by legacy systems and sweated assets, holding us back from agility, innovation and growth. How do we make 2025 the year we finally get off the dead horse? How to progress the best app and infra modernisation plans?
06

Prioritisation and Reducing Complexity

If everyone wants cloud, how do you prioritise and accommodate your customers? How to deliver efficient throughput to save on shadow IT, while reducing the sprawl and complexity?
