Start: 2021-10-19T15:00:00Z
End: 2021-10-19T15:00:43.000Z
Location: BrightTALK

Webinars focused on using automation strategically to gain the benefits of digital transformation.  Subject matter experts cover topics that include automation pathways, data-centric behaviors, software development principles, service assurance and visualization.

In this webinar we will discuss some important principles for service assurance that you should keep in mind when designing your network automation solution with end-user network service quality in mind.​

Questions that will be addressed:​
- How does your network become observable? ​
- Is it as simple as to just collect any telemetry data and, let your analytics platform magically conjure up an insight? ​
- Or is it an iterative process of careful thought, planning, design and retrospect?​

This talk is part of our series Transformative Automation for Network Providers. Please have a look at our channel for previous episodes.​

A Guide to Network Observability

In this final installment of the Data Ductus ’Transformative Automation for Network Providers’, we will explore the highest level of automation: The visualization of your network.   With humans able to process images more than 60,000 times faster than text, your journey to 'hands-free' transformative automation is only complete once your system, status, and insights are controllable and represented visually. By supporting your network configuration, process automation, service assurance, and DevOps, visualization unlocks efficiency, ease of use, accessibility, and better analysis.   In this webinar you will learn how to : - Leverage visualization in all of the elements and stages of the automation software reference architecture - Uncover and exploit the data that is present in your automated processes for maximum benefit - Integrate cutting edge tools to drive your visualizations

Using Visualization to Gain Network Automation Insights and Efficiencies

Many large organizations face a major security challenge due to the many and varied authentication and authorization solutions deployed across their IT environments. The mix of tools, services and applications, in the cloud and on-premise adds yet more complexity.  

In this session, we present how one of the Nordic region’s main players in retail solved this challenge, and cover some important lessons learned. With operations within grocery, banking, pharmacy and real estate they sure have a complex IT environment to manage. Join representatives from the ICA retail Group, solution provider Curity, and software consultants Data Ductus as they discuss:   

- What IT security challenges large organizations typically face 
- Why a centralized solution for identity management is critical for security 
- Where to begin – the key steps for successful implementation 
- Organizational challenges - setting up a team to manage the solution 
- OAuth and OpenID connect - supporting a wide range of use cases in a diverse organization

Presenters:
Alexander Salwey, Service Manager IAM at ICA Gruppen
Travis Spencer, CEO at Curity
Daniel Lindau, Solutions Architect at Curity
Per-Gustaf Stenberg, Senior IT Security Consultant at Data Ductus

Managing Identities and App Security Consistently in a Complex IT Environment

In this installment of the Data Ductus webinar series, Transformative Automation for Network Providers, Scott Barvick and Göran Edin, will continue to develop Transformative Automation concepts by defining and discussing the software principles that are foundational to automation success in the context of Network Provider operations. Through the use of a software automation reference architecture, Scott and Göran will define the core software layers and components found in Network Provider automation projects and discuss the pros and cons of each using real-world examples.

Join us in this webinar to learn more about:
- Why software automation is decomposed into layers
- How Network Providers can assess their requirements for each particular layer and tool
- Why DevOps tools are considered a foundational software principle
- How automated testing is a net savings of time and money

Software Development Principles for Network Providers​

In this installment of the webinar series, Transformative Automation for Network Providers, Stefan Wallin will discuss how service providers can make business decisions based on high quality data.

Customer experience and service quality should be the primary goals of automation. In this session, Stefan will explore how the quality data, versus the quantity, is the key to determining where network providers are and where they want to be with respect to delivered service, customer experience, partner SLAs and more.

The webinar will provide principles for enabling  data-driven decisions in order for service providers to know how their networks and services are functioning, rather than guessing. Finally, Stefan will touch on what can go wrong in data-oriented efforts such as building data lakes and implementing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies.
