Transform the Way You Leverage Content Across Your Enterprise

Today, more than ever, enterprises are moving their valuable business data from legacy infrastructures to the Cloud to be more ‘tech nimble’ and responsive to their business owners. However, migrating documents and data as well as consolidating systems can often grow into a challenging endeavor.

Having a solid plan and tried-and-true checklist will greatly minimize the risk and surprises of your next Cloud Migration project and ensure a smart strategy for teamwork, streamlining processes and adhering to compliance standards.

The Preeminent Cloud Migration Checklist

Leading enterprises across every industry are overseeing massive data migration projects, transferring the majority of their business data from legacy infrastructures to the cloud.

But too many organizations mistake a common process for an easy process, and only realize halfway through migration that they have left themselves unprepared for the difficulties of consolidating systems in the cloud.

Tune in to this webinar to learn how Rocket Software and Zia Consulting's tried-and-true cloud migration checklist can help your organization minimize the potential risks of your next cloud migration project while maintaining efficiency and compliance standards.

Maximizing Your Mainframe With DevOps Value Streams

Digital transformation remains at the forefront of organizational priorities—but to be truly transformative and remain competitive, companies need to transform how they think about one key enterprise currency: Content. 

Enterprises have been struggling to manage and govern the explosive growth of content that has accelerated since the shift to remote and hybrid work structures. Especially with teams working from dispersed locations, content needs to be captured, managed, accessed, and distributed completely digitally, complicated by privacy and compliance risks. 

Navigating the digital transformation journey requires enterprises to build a content services roadmap that simplifies the way they handle large volumes of information. 

Here’s why businesses must build an intelligent, modernised content strategy to leverage this asset, and how they can get started.

This forum will give the opportunity to talk about both the explosion of content and why firms need to start thinking of rationalising, governing, and automating how they work with documents and content to improve their responsiveness to today's constant change and volatility.

Join our Expert Think Tank comprised of:
• David Norfolk, Practice Leader, Dev & Gov, Bloor Research
• Kyle McNabb, VP, Solutions and Partner Marketing, Rocket Software

The key topics of our discussion:
1. The importance of modernising content services to support rationalising today's explosion of content while supporting new ways of working
2. Scaling automation to content-rich processes, the last mile - automation is a growing demand, what processes and operational areas are "ripe" for automation 
3. Addressing increasing friction between doing more with content (automating processes, improving collaboration) while dealing with ever changing privacy and regulatory demands and cybersecurity challenges
4. Quick win examples we can share from our experiences with customers, how are they getting started (e.g. federate or migrate)

Our commercial banking customers tell us that today’s economic and regulatory uncertainty, volatility and complexity is putting their institutions under tremendous pressure to improve their responsiveness to constant change.

Opening commercial banking accounts is a significant event for both the customer and the commercial banking institution. Optimizing this process presents challenges as institutions must address how they assess risk, prevent fraud and comply with regulations while delivering seamless and engaging customer experiences. While challenging, the opportunity to reimagine the self-service onboarding experience and continuous monitoring of accounts is ripe for reimagination to drive growth, mitigate risks, and improve performance.

Join this interactive session with Kyle McNabb, Sr. VP of Product Marketing at ASG Technologies, Brian Lee, VP of ECM at TerraLink Global and your peers to learn how your institution can start the journey to reimagining commercial account onboarding and continuous monitoring through an eight-step modernization of the integrated onboarding and risk management processes. This will:
- Increase your onboarding completion rates
- Lower your cost per new commercial account
- Comply with KYC, AML, PEP, CDD and other regulations
- Highlight new upsell and cross sell opportunities
- Instill a risk-managed approach for compliance and fraud prevention

Reimagine Commercial Account Onboarding and Continuous Monitoring

Success in today's world demands business and technology leaders improve their responsiveness to increasing market & business volatility and regulatory (including privacy) complexity. Improving market responsiveness, while mitigating compliance & privacy risks, has turned leaders' attention to their content-rich processes -- the complex interactions their employees and customers have with content, processes, and systems.

Historically, enterprises have attempted to design and automate their content processes with a number of disparate technologies including business process management, content capture, retention, policy management, RPA, and artificial intelligence. Scaling these automation efforts often fails due to high training costs and integration challenges.

This webinar introduces a "governance-first" approach to content-rich process automation, enabling leaders and their teams to effectively balance the need to automate with mitigating compliance and privacy risks.

You will learn how:
- The use of low-code design and micro-services effectively arms process designers and policy managers to balance automation and risk-mitigation in content-rich process automations
- Effective policy management supports scaling content processes for large enterprises that operate in multiple geographic regions and regulatory environments
- Embracing hybrid-infrastructures, from mainframe to cloud, when designing and deploying content process automations improves time-to-value

Supercharge Process Automation: Designing for Regulatory & Market Responsiveness

The shift to cloud, embrace of remote work, and other ongoing technology changes are disrupting the stability and security of systems in your hybrid IT infrastructure.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are an important way to measure the performance and health of these systems—from mainframe to cloud—to ensure they adequately support the delivery of quality digital value to your business and your customers, on time and on budget.

Join John Crossno, Director, Product Management, and Mike Siemasz, Product Marketing Manager, as they discuss key performance indicators for maintaining the health and performance of your hybrid IT infrastructure, including:
• What are KPIs, and what makes them useful?
• The wrong and right way to measure KPIs
• Meaningful KPIs for improving IT systems health

Using KPIs to Maintain Hybrid IT Performance and Health

The world has changed considerably in the last 2 years. COVID19 has put organizations on a fast track towards digital transformation. Automation is a large part of that Digital transformation. Is your Organisation on the right track?
 
We’ve heard from our customers that Asian enterprises are less legacy heavy and have wisely invested in technologies and applications that provided them with a jump start to compete with global players. However due to the availability of human resources, automation was not a major driver for business or IT, barring in a few large enterprises. With the advent of RPA on the global arena, enterprises gained benefits by automating business operations. But the Indian market did not keep pace. IT adoption and maturity were at different levels excluding global captives and IT Services clients.
 
Automation in Asian countries must cover both business and IT operations and be cost effective.
 
Join ASG Technologies and BigIota Analytics to learn about a solution that covers automation across operations, cost effectively, in some cases at half the cost of other vendors. Register now to learn how to hyper-automate your IT and business processes using RPA and automated batch processing.

Robotic + Batch, Better Together for Hyper-Automation

Before data can be used for analytics, digital transformation or enhanced customer experiences, it must be well-understood and trusted. That’s why data lineage is crucial to any data strategy, tracking data movement from source to consumption while maintaining its quality and compliance.

Organizations typically start their data lineage journey with manual spreadsheets or limited technical data lineage tools. But as data compounds, manual approaches taking months of IT resources to create are inefficient and impractical. In addition, they only provide a technical view of data lineage without the context that business users need.

Fortunately, there’s a better way. Automated data lineage tools address the limitations of manual data lineage by programmatically extracting lineage information from source systems and creating data flow visualizations.  In addition, it’s enriched with business-friendly views – terms, policies, rules, processes, privacy tags and other artifacts – to drive data literacy across your enterprise.

Join the third session of this webinar panel series for a discussion with ASG data lineage partners Accenture and Daugherty to learn about:
• Key differences between manual and automated data lineage 
• How automated data lineage is foundational to data governance and analytics 
• Practical guidance, challenges and considerations for operationalizing a lineage program 
• Benefits of making data lineage part of the enterprise data management strategy vs a business unit or single project approach 

You’ll emerge with new insights into how you can accelerate your data journey with automated, intelligent data lineage.

We have seen many organisations review their investment in Mainframes in recent years, based on reducing budgets and declining staff expertise. 

There is also a common theme that we have observed, companies are now evaluating all aspects of their Mainframe operations.

In our webinar we will present and discuss our approach in assisting businesses in this respect, through output and report management.

The topics we will cover are:
• Challenges in output and report management
• Advantages in offloading mainframe tasks
• Practical approach to implementation
• How our clients have achieved considerable savings in terms of time & money

We look forward to you joining this webinar to understand how to free up Mainframe resources, so that you can claim back capacity and reduce licensing costs.

Reducing Costs by Outsourcing Output Management to Open Systems/Cloud

Au cours des dernières années, de nombreuses entreprises ont dû faire évoluer leur stratégie d’investissement Mainframe, notamment en raison de la pression budgétaire et de la raréfaction des compétences. Il y a également un thème commun que nous avons observé, les entreprises évaluent comment optimiser leurs ressources Mainframe et améliorer les processus de modernisation et de transformation digitale.

Par la rationalisation, la migration, le ré-hébergement, il est possible de réduire les coûts d'exploitation des applications grâce au transfert de certains services Mainframe tels que la gestion de contenu (archives, données du Legacy, etc…) vers des plateformes distribuées. Décommissionner, c’est réduire de manière conséquente les MIPS, et donc les coûts, valoriser les services sans compromettre la fiabilité et la sécurité.

Lors de ce webinaire, ASG vous propose de découvrir comment libérer vos ressources Mainframe, optimiser la capacité de vos systèmes et réduire les coûts de licence.

- Pourquoi décommissionner ? Comment ?
- Quels sont les freins au décommissionnement ?

Output Management : Modernisez & Réduisez vos Coûts Mainframe

Der Mainframe wird verschwinden – diesen Satz hört man in verschiedenen Ausprägungen seit vielen Jahren. Aber immer noch spielen Mainframes eine zentrale Rolle in vielen Unternehmen und das wird sich auch auf absehbare Zeit nicht ändern.

Gleichzeitig führen aber Kostendruck und ein Mangel an Mainframe-Experten dazu, dass Unternehmen überdenken müssen, WIE sie den Mainframe nutzen und welche Applikationen und Aufgaben in der dezentralen Welt besser aufgehoben wären.

In unserem Webinar werden wir das Thema Output- und Report-Management unter diesem Hintergrund beleuchten und folgende Themen ansprechen: 
-	die Herausforderungen im Output- und Report-Management,
-	welche Vorteile bringt Ihnen ein Offloading von Mainframe-Aufgaben,
-	die praktische Umsetzung,
-	Beispiele, wie Kunden Einsparungen im siebenstelligen Bereich erreicht haben.

Registrieren Sie sich hier, um zu erfahren, wie auch Sie Ressourcen optimieren und dabei Kosten senken können.

Mainframe offloading: Kosten senken durch die Verlagerung von Output-Management

For over 60 years, COBOL has been the foundational computer programming language for large enterprises and government agencies that run business-critical applications on the mainframe. While COBOL will continue to be essential in the long term for these organizations, most companies and agencies are in desperate need of COBOL programmers, as became more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic.  

In their fireside chat, Dr. Cameron Seay, enterprise systems thought leader and adjunct professor at East Carolina University, will join Jeff Cherrington, VP of Product Management at ASG, to discuss the role of COBOL in the global enterprise, the opportunities available to next-generation technology professionals, and how organizations and education systems can better support educational and professional paths into mainframe application development.
