Visually showing customers how VMware Tanzu products work. Demoing new features, functionality, and product updates.

Increasingly, organisations are looking to leverage data-driven insights to power strategic decision-making and set the predictions for future business direction. 

Historically, most of this valuable data was captured via feedback or logs produced by the application itself. Due to the humongous nature of the data and varied formats by which it was captured (unstructured, semi-structured and structured), these valuable insights were often under-utilised during business and technical decisions. 

With the current growth in technology, however, we now have the ability to process, “any data anywhere and anytime” to support unified data-driven decisions. Join us to learn how your teams can successfully turn raw data into valuable insights:

- What is Unified Analytics

Modern applications require modern platforms to serve the needs of your organisation and customers. Once you’ve decided to implement a modern app platform, you’ll need to build a team that will prioritise the tasks needed to provide a positive impact on your business. This team’s charter will be to quickly and effectively address security and compliance issues, build abstractions that drive efficiencies at scale, and reduce toil and friction for developers to bring features to market faster. Assembling the right people for the right jobs is a daunting but necessary foundational step toward elevating your platform capabilities. Join VMware Tanzu Labs experts as they walk you through the thought process for creating a team that can meet your infrastructure, platform engineering and application modernisation challenges. 

We’ll spend time covering:

- Day 1 objectives for your new platform (team)
- The needs & role of the platform team
- How to structure a team for the most impactful results
- Which capabilities (and technologies) must be owned by the platform team (and which ones are optional)
- How the platform team enables Developers

Creating a Platform Team to Support a Modern Application Platform

From Assessment To Action, Modernization Strategy That Works: How to start modernizing your portfolio in 4-6 weeks 

When developing your application modernization journey, it’s important to understand that agile and lean techniques are geared toward software and product development – they don’t fully address large scale portfolio analysis. However, you can apply these concepts to a portfolio of applications by developing a decision framework based on objective data.  

This will allow you to assess applications on both technical feasibility and business impact, and ultimately identify the first modernization candidates. The initial decision framework should only take 4-6 weeks to develop, and while it will contain numerous assumptions at this point, it will provide a solid foundation for future modernization efforts.  

It is important to test the initial decision framework with actual work to validate your assumptions. This is done by categorizing applications, selecting representative apps from several groups, and doing actual hands-on modernization work. The real work informs and refines the decision framework. The hands-on work also identifies modernization recipes and patterns that can be applied to other applications within the identified groups to accelerate and scale the modernization effort. 

We’ll discuss how the series of actionable questions from the 2022 State CIO Application Modernization Report apply to stage/s you may be in today.  
- Initial Stage – have you started your process of modernization, do you have champions or a rapid method of assessment?  
- Implementation Stage – do you have a portfolio and is it ready to modernize? Are you satisfied with the planning and timeline? 
- Progress Stage – Are you able to address common issues and scalable solutions, is the skillset available on your team and are you making the desired progress?

From Assessment To Action, Modernization Strategy That Works

Ops groups can’t give developers what they need when they are limited by traditional service delivery mindsets and tools. Stability and reliability are however now table stakes when you’re releasing software daily. 
 
What developers need from Ops is innovation. Traditionally, Ops rarely adopted an innovation-driven, product approach to providing services and instead focused on delivering to specifications and limiting SLAs. As with development however, Ops can create value with continuous operations, by product managing their platforms and releasing frequently. 
 
In this talk we look at how Ops groups are increasingly transforming from a service delivery mindset to a platform-as-a-product approach: 
- Operational concepts, technologies and tools commonly used 
- Key tactics needed to kick off a platform-as-a-product strategy 
- Use Cases from Mercedes, BT, JP Morgan Chase, and others 

We're looking forward to seeing you there!

Why You Should Treat Your Platform as a Product

Enterprises of today are looking to improve developer experience by making consistent efforts to remove any friction across the entire software delivery lifecycle. Open source software is a key part of today's modern application development process and despite the many benefits they offer to developers, they bring along their own challenges to the I&O and platform teams.
 
In this webinar, you will be able to understand how VMware Application Catalog can help you improve developer experience by providing them with easy access to a library of prepackaged, validated, production-ready open source images.

How VMware GemFire Runs the World

A new study from VMWare and NASCIO shows that successful IT programs are leveraging new and emerging advancements and concludes with a bold action list that can set a state government up for success.  

To provide efficient and effective outcomes, citizen expectations have never been higher for digital services. As such, government organizations are responding with digital transformation initiatives. This study is critical because it provides valuable insights into how states are developing strategy better serve their citizens by modernizing their applications.  

The study found that there are three imperatives pivotal to driving an application modernization strategy: 

- Determine Your Risk 
- Upskill/Reskill 
- Agile Program Support 

By establishing a clear business case for change, government organizations can more promptly gain buy-in from key stakeholders. Furthermore, creating an inventory of current applications enables organizations to take stock of what they have and identify gaps. Once these steps have been taken, it becomes possible to eliminate technical debt and implement an Agile delivery process. The end result will be a faster, more efficient, and more effective state government that is better equipped to serve its citizens. 

We’ll also review Do Something Great!” State Application Modernization Program Team Plays: 
- Own Your Journey – enabling your partners and teams 
- Quick Wins – developing inventories and methodologies for your team 
- Agile Procurement – aligning funding and technology

Why App Modernization is 2022 Imperative for State Governments

Topic: How to manage your Retail supply chain volatility and improve resiliency through data visibility, intelligence and automation?

Supply chain disruption for many has become part of everyday life. But for the retail industry these everyday problems can put the business at risk.

How can sales data generated at store level be better used and augmented to ensure the right products are on the shelf in store and at the right time? Over stocking can be just as problematic as understocking, especially if you have not got the space in the freezers for all that extra ice-cream that has arrived.How do you build that intelligence across a chain of hundreds of retail outlets, without over stressing the corporate datacenter? What functions can be handled at the edge with distributed smaller footprint devices?

Discover how VMware Data Solutions can help with event driven point of sale architectures at the edge to increase the availability of sales data, create better inventory awareness and ultimately increase profitability. We will discuss and demonstrate how VMware Data Solutions (RabbitMQ, GemFire, SQL and/or Greenplum) can be used in unison to provide a real-time event driven architecture at the edge. Additionally, we will examine how this scales and the handles the challenges along the way.

VMware Data Solutions Industry Series Talk #1
Improving manufacturing throughput using VMware Data Solutions

This webinar would help you understand how VMware Data Solutions* can help extract the best out of your automated processes in manufacturing, both on-site and at the edge.

Advances in manufacturing automation are nothing new, especially at scale. However, since the early days of Covid many smaller scale manufacturers have invested in strategic automation tooling to improve their throughput and increase profitability. This is triggering a need to modernize their back office systems to enhance the customer experience. For low volume manufacturing, customers expect the same level of product updates at different order and build stages as they would when ordering a pizza online.

Moving customer orders across different parts of the business via spreadsheets and import scripts to a database then polling the database in order to send build instructions to advanced AGVs & robotic processes constrains business efficiency and growth.

We will discuss and demonstrate how VMware RabbitMQ* along with VMware GemFire* and VMware SQL* can be used in unison to provide a real-time event driven architecture. Additionally we will examine how this scales and can provide high availability resiliency.

Improving manufacturing throughput using VMware Data Solutions

Many organisations have invested heavily in becoming ‘agile’, but many are left feeling unsatisfied, not seeing the business value they had expected and feeling that things haven’t really changed that much. 

Initiating change - and making it stick - in a large organisation is hard. It’s easy to make the mistake of focusing solely on technology and team level changes, while leaving the rest of the organisation unchanged. More often than not, the old way of working wins out and changes don’t materialise. 

In this webinar, we’re going to discuss some of the key challenges organisations face adopting agile at scale - specifically governance, leadership behaviours, and funding models - and share some of the approaches we’ve used to help our customers tackle these challenges, make changes stick and deliver real business value to their organisations.

Agile: Making it Stick

In today’s world, technology is constantly evolving and improving. This means that the software companies that create the technology need to perpetually update and upgrade their offerings in order to stay ahead of the curve. For state governments, this presents a unique challenge. On one hand, they need to adopt new technologies in order to provide better services for their citizens. On the other hand, they need to be cautious about spending taxpayer money on unnecessary upgrades.  

So, how can state governments strike the right balance? By operating as software factory and delivering a modernized approach to state government applications. Here’s what that means. 

A software factory is a center of excellence that is constantly innovating and improving its products. This means that they are always looking for ways to make their products better, faster, and more user-friendly. They are also always looking for ways to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. In other words, a modern software factory is focused on results. And for state governments that require results and state constituents that demand results, a software factory can be the answer. 

Reduce Costs 
- A software factory can help reduce the cost of upgrading and maintaining government systems. 

Increased Efficiency 
- By centralizing all software development in one place, a software factory can increase efficiency and speed up the process of getting new products to market. 

Improved Quality 
- The focus on quality at a software factory means that government systems will be improved in terms of both functionality and usability. 

Increased Innovation 
- As technology advances, so too must our government systems keep pace. A software factory is well-positioned to drive innovation and modernization in the public sector
