Feeling a bit like the cloud has suddenly become less of a nice-to-have and a suddenly critical element to your business continuity? You aren’t alone. In this session of Nutanix Connect we are calling on global experts and our guest presenter Professor Herman Singh to help get to the bottom of what your cloud strategy suddenly looks like.

In this discussion, our global experts will touch on:

• How did cloud get here and where is it heading to?
• Why has this become important recently
• What are the risks of not pivoting?
• What should you consider in your plans?

Topics that will be addressed include:

1. What the various architectures that enterprises can chose for their cloud strategy look like.
2. Is it all or nothing when approaching the cloud?
3. What is the safest cloud strategy for an enterprise today?

Pose your own questions to the panel and gain insights into what the leaders of the pack are doing in this new world, as well as what you should stop, start or continue.

Where does this leave your cloud strategy? Scaling up, scaling down, scaling out

Disruptive technology such as hyper-converged infrastructure tends to significantly complicate the buying decision. It forces new operational procedures and can impact IT governance, security, and compliance. But even a strong financial justification might not be enough to alter the ingrained processes, interests, and cultural norms surrounding the legacy environment. In many cases, it takes an ROI story.

This webinar will assist anyone interested in how to use financial analysis as a framework to optimise strategic decision-making.

The ROI Story - Identifying and Justifying Disruptive Technology

In this Nutanix Connect session we are partnering with Professor Herman Singh to help unpack the current crisis that is redefining almost all aspects of our lives and calling into question many of the choices we have already made. 

The bottom-line. Firms with large headquarters could be left with white elephants and even the way that visitors are managed could make face to face encounters impractical. In this Nutanix Connect session, we will explore how to think about these questions and brace for impact.

1.What does the workspace of the future look like? Are cubicles back? 
2. What is the future of headquarters? How do we handle visitors and elevators?
3.What should be done with collaborative work?
4. What should we be doing at our home office? 

Our panel will further share their experiences and provide advice on how you can approach restructuring your workspace in a safe, financially viable and functional way.

Is the office dead?

The pandemic has made it clear that innovation cannot be stalled but doing so with an ever-shrinking budget isn’t the easiest task.
