Collaboration and UC

For many organizations, the wide area network (WAN) infrastructure that connects an enterprise’s remote and branch offices has not changed for decades. However, as application are rapidly moving to the cloud ( SaaS and IaaS), the WAN needs to evolve in response.

Bob Laliberte, Senior Analyst with ESG, Inc., will explore the challenges many organizations face with legacy WAN environments, illustrate why a new solution is needed and highlight the business value of rearchitecting with SD-WAN. This will include reviewing customer examples and a TCO model to demonstrate the value to your business. Organizations will learn how SD-WAN provides a combination of pure economic benefits as well as agility and flexibility to help organizations be successful.

Large enterprises are adopting SD-WANs to lower costs, increase business agility and improve performance for multi-cloud applications. Yet many IT managers are grappling with uncertainty concerning remote site readiness and operational risks, which can impede SD-WAN rollouts and negatively impact cloud service and SaaS performance. Lack of underlay visibility also leaves managers unable to manage service-level expectations and ensure a positive ROI.

Join ThousandEyes in this webinar to learn winning strategies for SD-WAN and hybrid WAN deployments, including:

• Benchmarking Internet-based and managed service connectivity to
compare performance, define success and identify KPIs prior to rollout
• Measure the performance impact of cloud-based security platforms,
such as Zscaler
• Eliminate SD-WAN blind spots with hop-by-hop network underlay
visibility
• Quickly troubleshoot Internet service provider issues across the
Internet
• Define processes for internal stakeholders to gain visibility into
external providers for managing hybrid connectivity, ISPs, cloud
services and SaaS applications

Businesses with SD-WAN often rely on the public Internet for connectivity. When these companies experience Internet unpredictability – glitching real-time applications (e.g. video and voice), inconsistent long-haul traffic, poor SaaS and IaaS performance, or compromised security and compliance – they turn to a growing number of Internet Core alternatives. How do they make the right choice?

In this webinar we will:

1. Compare different Internet alternatives for SD-WAN: optimized Internet, MPLS, Cloud MPLS, and SD-CORE
2. Discuss the advantages of Autonomous Network Control over AI-based Network Control
3. Quantify the performance advantages of Mode Core over public Internet for branch, data center, and cloud connectivity; and cloud-to-cloud connectivity

As content is typically stored across a wide-range of disparate repositories, many organizations struggle to consolidate a comprehensive, single view of their content. This lack of visibility is making it increasingly difficult for businesses to realize the value of their content (structured and unstructured) and comply with the increasing number of regulations and governance policies.

Regulations and governance requirements are expanding the need for records management to improve privacy management. The new automated information governance capabilities of Mobius support the need to create records of all types of content and to meet privacy requirements of new regulations such as the GDPR and the CCPA.

Solving these complex challenges, while securing data, is a topic ASG Technologies understands well.

Join us as we discuss how we help customers:
• Enable businesses to meet rapidly changing needs with low-code / no-code workflow tools
• Realize the benefits of the cloud with the flexibility to adopt at the pace of business
• Manage records management requirements – reducing risk & improving privacy management
• Create a single view of content with federation across repositories

Innovation has quickly become an overused and distorted word. At Money20/20 Europe expect to cut through the hype, explore what measurements we can use to benchmark innovation and get to the heart of sustainable and commercial step change. A key question which has moved back up the C-Level agenda of established; banks, tech companies and payments companies is:

"How can incumbents deliver meaningful game-changing innovation?"

There are three options available for incumbents, and at Money20/20 Europe we’ll be developing deeper into each one:

1. Can organisations transform their cultures to execute true innovation internally within their organisations? (cultural transformation)

2. Perhaps tech transformation is the way forward, partnering or acquisitions to do so?

3. Or do they need to achieve business model transformation by building something entirely new outside of the organisation?

These options are being heavily debated in boardrooms throughout Europe, with a number of high profile banks recently announcing plans to build brand new subsidiaries. Some of the traditional banks, payments and tech companies are pursuing a few or all of the options while others are sitting on the fence. Which is most effective and why? What are the dynamics at play that determine success for different types of companies? Hear from the leading companies in our industry as they share their incisive insight on the successes but also the failures and the lessons learned.
