Procurement and Sourcing

In this session, learn how customers have gained greater control over their data and improved cost savings by using NetApp ONTAP Cloud from AWS Marketplace, a curated catalog to find, buy, and deploy third-party party software.

We dive into how to minimize your storage footprint by using enterprise-class storage features, such as data deduplication, compression, and snapshots with zero impact on app performance. You also learn out how to can accelerate application development using FlexClone technology to clone images and quickly create multiple environments that look just like your original data.

As companies plan the migration of different workloads to the cloud, software procurement is being challenged to meet the new demands of the business, such as agility and fast pace of innovation.

AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalog helps customers find, buy, and immediately start using the software and services they need to build products and run their businesses. With free trials, pay-as-you-go models, annual and multi-year subscriptions- all consolidated in one bill from AWS, procurement has the tools to meet their business demands.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) represents the most important data protection regulation change in 20 years. All companies processing and holding the personal data of subjects residing in the EU must comply once it comes into effect on 25 May 2018, regardless of location.

One of the biggest changes is around obtaining consent to use personal data. The new requirements not only impact how businesses attain and renew consent but also introduce the need to record the details for auditing purposes.

Hear from Phil Lee, Partner at Fieldfisher, who will discuss the key changes under the GDPR, the challenges facing businesses, and how digital tools like eSignatures can streamline your compliance.

Join this webinar to understand:

- The impacts of the GDPR on businesses
- How to obtain and record consent in a compliant manner
- How to re-procure suppliers with contracts that contain the terms of the GDPR
- How digital tools can be part of a GDPR solution

Jim Steven, Head of Data Breach Response, Experian talks through the key considerations for organisations when pulling together a consumer data breach response plan and draws out key insights and steps that can be taken, ensuring your organisation puts customers/employees at the heart of any notification response.

How do you know if you are outsourceable? And how can you guide the outsourcing without simply being replaced?

Use CloudGenera's data to give you insight on the best venue and service model to run your relational databases. We'll focus on MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and SQL Server across AWS, Azure and Google.

Under the GDPR, consent must be obtained in an understandable and easily digestible format, using clear and simple language. By offering people genuine choice and control over how you use their data, it helps you build trust and enhance your reputation.

The problem for a lot of businesses is that their legacy systems usually don’t document the level of data required to prove that a valid, unambiguous consent or contractual acceptance was obtained. Manual processes and paper plague the most common transactions and introduce friction in the moments that matter most to their business.

Whether acquiring consent from new customers or renewing consent from your existing database, you can do so with DocuSign’s secure and user-friendly solution. Attend this webinar to:

- Learn how DocuSign's eSignature solution can help customers collect consent to demonstrate compliance
- See a demo of DocuSign's consent-capture process, with built-in documentation and tracking

How well information flows into and out of your supply chain network can have a significant impact on your business performance. If communication and transactions are hindered, the results can be disastrous – late payments, missed deliveries, unhappy suppliers, and disgruntled customers.

Automating interactions with your trading partners can streamline your supply chain operations while increasing visibility. It means that transactions between you, your suppliers, and your buyers happen electronically and automatically. Whether you're looking to simplify supplier integration and collaboration with procure-to-pay, optimize your inventory levels with logistics track-and-trace, or leverage e-invoicing to reduce errors and contain costs, automation is essential to boosting supply-chain efficiency. And a more efficient supply chain can lead to reduced costs, greater agility, and revenue growth.

Cybercrime, internal breaches, compliance infringement and more can hurt your business. In addition to expensive fines and lawsuits, a security breach can result in a damaged reputation and loss of revenue.

Due to the growing sophistication and perseverance of cybercriminals, network firewalls are proving to be insufficient security measures. Organizations need to fortify their endpoints behind the firewall, including network printers. But print security can be complicated. Enterprise-level multifunction printers (MFPs) have more than 250 security settings. Keeping devices, data, and documents secure across the fleet requires specialized knowledge and can be time-consuming.

Let HP Secure Managed Print Services (MPS) manage security so you can focus on your core business. You can count on HP MPS to help assess your risks, secure and manage your fleet, maintain printer security compliance, and keep everything up to date with the latest protections.

Obsess less and focus more on what you’re good at.

Of all the Agile practices, none is more foundational than the inspect & adapt cycle of the retrospective. Even if you struggle with every other aspect of Agile, if you consistently engage in productive retrospectives, you will get better.

Industry surveys and studies suggest that 80% or more of Agile organizations have at least some distributed teams. Most of the traditional retrospective methods assume that all team members are co-located.

Running effective retrospectives for distributed teams presents unique challenges, but also, potentially, some great advantages. In this webinar, Agile coach and Instant Agenda co-founder Michael Ball-Marian will discuss the three greatest challenges to running distributed Agile retrospectives and how to solve them. Michael will share a variety of tips and techniques that you can use in any retrospective, co-located or distributed. Finally, he’ll present a few ways in which a distributed retrospective can actually be better than a co-located one.
