Reimagine integration, spark business transformation and enable fast innovation on the Internet of Things so you can pioneer differentiating business models. With Software AG solutions, you can connect and integrate any technology—from app to edge. We help you free data from silos so it’s shareable, usable and powerful—enabling you to make the best decisions and unlock entirely new possibilities for growth.

Enterprises face a challenge on how to easily access data from multiple data sources such as VSAM™, Db2®, Adabas, Oracle®, Azure SQL Database, Snowflake® and more. You need a solution that unifies data access to non-relational, semi-structured and relational data sources under one common language – Structured Query Language (SQL) – in order to provide fast, simple data access to new applications, analytic tools and APIs.

Discover how data virtualization provides an optimal solution to data sharing by keeping your data in place, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Keeping it secure yet accessible in real time. With read-write access to the your data sources, you can maintain business continuity while powering data-driven apps and modern data analytics tools.

Hear from Daniel Bierman from Software AG as he explores:

*How SQL data access addresses the workforce generational change
*No-code options to quickly virtualize your data without disrupting business operations
*The value of creating a single virtual database to unify disparate data sources on prem and in the cloud
*How real-time SQL data virtualization unlocks data silos fast for API, Data Ops, ELT, ETL, and more uses

Business success is dependent on recognizing and responding to changes in a fast-moving business environment. Sustainability goals, resilience to shocks, aligning digital business models to market changes, and fending off cyberattacks are just some of the challenges that organizations are having to cope with. As EA and IT leaders we are tasked to ensure that IT investments and delivery are aligned to these challenges and that they can be realigned quickly as the business environment changes. For this we need a clear view of our current portfolio of IT investments, along with their roadmaps and interdependencies. In this playbook we will see how EA and IT investment portfolio management provides transparency and supports assessment of alternative portfolio scenarios for effective decision making and optimal business alignment.

A Deep Dive into the ARIS 10 SR20 Release

Sustainability is at the heart of every business impacting multiple areas: from brand reputation to innovation, to investor returns and revenues, to maintaining standards in a thriving business. Sustainability is the new normal. And it is disrupting the economy just like digital before it.

As a business leader, this new normal can be daunting. No matter your industry, location or jurisdiction, the coming years will bring a growing number of regulations, policies and standards, influencing many facets of your business.

Failure to comply with regulations would result in severe penalties. Failure to comply with customers, investors and employees’ expectations will bring high costs, too. So how do you handle these challenges and make sure you are on the right sustainability path?

In this webinar, together with sustainability experts from bgood collective, you’ll learn how to approach all these while anchoring sustainability in your organization’s operations.

See how the new ARIS for sustainability supports: Put processes at the very heart of your sustainability strategy, while significantly easing the burden of compliance. 

*Transparency: Structure sustainability initiatives from strategy to operations, map detailed actions and ESG goals
*Control: Effectively govern process execution, employee engagement, change management and compliance.
*Accountability: Report on initiatives and progress and benefit from access to data-driven insights to show full accountability and gain stakeholders’ trust.

Sustainability becomes real as soon as it is anchored in your business operations.

Your Processes Help Make the World a Better Place

While an increasing number of businesses have already implemented process modeling and mining, the vast majority continue to do so in isolation, which means process transformation initiatives fall short or – worse – fail.  

When looking at both areas in isolation, it is challenging to get a full picture of the whole truth. To keep up, you need to take two essential components into account, which are required for successful process transformation:

A strategy and implementation plan for the desired new way of working, and
Complete visibility of your current way of working
Process modeling sets the bar for what you want to achieve and provides a plan for the desired way of working. Process mining, on the other hand, gives you complete visibility into your current way of working, identifies where you are and dictates what needs to change so that you stay on the right path. 

This underlines the value and necessity of processes that are both modeled and measured. With this understanding, you can start your journey toward process transformation with the goals and measurements necessary to determine whether your designed processes are performing as expected.

Find out more about how process modeling and mining can be combined to achieve true process transformation. Hear Martin Scheid and Tebogo Mokgomogane from Software AG as they demonstrate why Process Modelling and Mining work better together. They are joined by Gerrit Franssen, Program Leader BPM-WLM, who showcases how the Belgian Public Prosecution Service is using both technologies to achieve process transformation.

Enterprise-grade reliability should be built into every IoT solution. The best enterprises and technology vendors don’t just talk about reliability, scalability, and performance, they measure it with highly realistic and dynamic tools. And when performance problems are found, they fix them and continuously improve the quality of their IoT solutions. This ongoing process ensures excellent IoT solution performance and reliability for customers.

What does IoT reliability and performance look like? Consider the following:

*How can you ensure that thousands, even millions, of IoT devices can efficiently and reliably feed data into an IoT platform?
*Can you create accurate digital twins, and keep them updated with consistent updates, for accurate visualizations and analytics?
*How well can you respond to disruptions, including mass disconnects and DDoS attacks?
*Watch this webinar where we answer the following three questions:

1. Why do enterprises insist on high performance and scalability for their IoT solution?
2. What performance measurements do enterprises conduct to improve the reliability of their end-to-end IoT solutions?
3. What unique things is Software AG doing to offer its customers verified, enterprise-grade IoT solutions?

How vulnerable are your organization’s APIs? We’ve all begun to witness the tremendous business value potential that APIs bring, and how they can open up lucrative new opportunities for many organizations. Yet with this new technology shift, comes a range of security challenges to data privacy and security that can leave organizations vulnerable to threats. It has become critical to employ a solution that is proactive against API and security vulnerabilities, provides visibility and discovery of all APIs, and is powerful enough to stop API attacks in real-time.

That’s why Software AG has partnered with Salt Security – to enhance its API security offering and provide a comprehensive approach to stopping attacks before they can cause harm.

API Security: Preventing Vulnerabilities and Attacks

Many companies plan to eventually monetize their APIs, inspired by the examples of well-known API-product companies for maps, payments, or communications. However, successfully monetizing APIs requires more than just putting a price sticker on an API. "Build it - and they will come" is not a reality. The masters of API monetization do something very different - right from the inception of their APIs.

Learn in this webinar the fundamental principles for creating successful API products and the best practices for making APIs monetizable. 

Speaker: Matthias Biehl, API Strategist, Software AG & Author of API Design and API Architecture

Best Practices for Monetizing APIs

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, agile delivery of services and products is essential for business success. As EA and strategic portfolio management (SPM) professionals, we support this by implementing methods for scaled Agile delivery of IT solutions such as the SAFe framework. This provides continuous alignment of release train delivery with business priorities. 

However, gaps in the chain between strategic priorities and software delivery can seriously undermine delivery efforts if priorities change. In this Portfolio Playbook webinar, we will look at how to close such gaps by integrating EA and SPM systems with executions solutions such as Jira for agile alignment of delivery to strategy.

Alfabet Playbook: Integrating Strategy and Execution in the Agile Enterprise

Enterprise Architecture (EA) and IT Portfolio Management (ITPM) are key disciplines for achieving an agile, cost-effective and business-aligned IT landscape. They help build resilience to outside disruptions, support agile business alignment, and sharpen IT support’s risk-benefit profile. But these advantages can only be enjoyed when incorporating the needs and perspectives of a broad set of stakeholders. Budget owners, product designers, risk managers, demand managers, innovation strategists and many more require insights that support their decision making for planning and managing digital transformation. They need to be involved in demand and approval processes and want transparency into decisions, IT performance, and product delivery. In this Alfabet Portfolio Playbook webinar, we will look at how innovative collaboration features can support decision making, insights delivery and information exchange in EA and ITPM.

Alfabet Playbook: Delivering Digital Outcomes with Stakeholder Collaboration

Innovation and digitalization are key to success in today’s integrated and global markets. To get ahead in the market, increasing R&D budgets is rarely enough. For most organizations, a focused M&A strategy is required to acquire innovations and technologies and to gain market share in new markets. 

To make a success of your M&A strategy, it needs to be combined with effective execution. Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) play a critical role in ensuring M&A activity is successful – both during due diligence and in the integration phase. In this playbook, we look at how EA and SPM provide the transparency and methodology for successful M&A execution, as well as facilitate cooperation between the teams in the acquiring and acquired organizations.
