In today’s experience economy, unique digital experiences have become a competitive advantage. But delivering these experiences is not easy, and organizations are struggling to convert strategies into value. Too often, technology leaders have had to focus on building platforms to hide complexity and increase productivity, investing significant time, money, and unique skill sets on infrastructure instead of digital innovation.
 
As a strategist or a craftsman in a digital transformation journey, you might be thinking:
* Why is having a digital platform a critical success factor?
* What are the characteristics of a digital platform in the modern experience economy, and cloud native architecture? 
* How does a digital platform fuel and expedite an organization's digital strategy and the effectiveness of the digital strategists? 

In this session at Cloud Architecture Summit: Integration Developer News, Asanka Abeysinghe, Chief Technology Evangelist, WSO2 will answer these questions by sharing real stories from the industry and reference implementations that use a market-leading digital platform as a service.

Delivering Digital Experiences: Why the Right Platform is Key

In the past few years businesses have had to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives in order to meet the evolving needs of their customers. A strong customer-centric IAM strategy has become a focal point for businesses to gain competitive advantage, and in doing so it has provided a strong foundation to deliver simple, seamless and secure digital experiences for end users.

DURING THE WEBINAR, WE WILL COVER:
- Common challenges that customers have faced and why IAM helps resolve those issues
- Case studies that showcase WSO2’s unique approach
- Outcomes of a recent Forrester TEI Report on our Identity Server
- Guidance on considerations before embarking on an IAM project

RECOMMENDED FOR:
- CXOs
- Solution Architects
- Senior Managers

How to tackle CIAM without sacrificing security for convenience

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for hosting cloud-native APIs. When done right on Kubernetes, you can achieve application resiliency, elastic scalability, easier upgrades and maintenance, and complete automation. But, as you move to Kubernetes, you can’t just use the same architecture you used for VMs or other container-based approaches. How you develop, deploy, and manage your APIs, and your API management architecture, all change. You also need to accept the new reality that APIs and API management are distributed and federated. It needs to be a part of your architecture going forward.

Join two API and Kubernetes experts as they walk you through the key criteria and different architectures you need to consider as you move to Kubernetes. This session will include examples of the best practices you should be using, how companies used WSO2’s various open-source and SaaS options in each approach, and how different technologies fit together to support a truly federated API hybrid cloud architecture.

In this webinar, we will cover:

DURING THE WEBINAR, WE WILL COVER:
- Architectural considerations when shifting your APIs and API management to Kubernetes
- How to design cloud-native APIs on top of Kubernetes
- The different API management architectures to consider with Kubernetes-based data planes and control planes, and how they all fit together
- How the Choreo Connect microgateway works with Kubernetes

RECOMMENDED FOR:
- API product managers
- Software architects and engineers

The path to Kubernetes and cloud-native APIs

As enterprises compete by innovating new digital experiences, there’s more demand than ever to accelerate the delivery of the APIs and services powering these experiences. To realize business outcomes faster, enterprises have had to take a platform approach, which lays the foundation for new value sources that emerge from digital experience engineering.

Vice President - Solutions Architecture and Head of Healthcare Practice at WSO2, Mifan Careem, spoke about best practices organizations have used to implement their own digital platforms, including how to move from siloed integration, the importance of supporting the many different teams, and using tools from low-code to pro-code.

Moving from APIs and Integrations to Cloud Native Composite Services

The Total Economic Impact™, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of WSO2, examines the potential return on investment (ROI) and overall financial impact enterprises may realize by deploying WSO2’s Identity Server for CIAM.

TEI Webinar Featuring Forrester: Accelerating APIs and Digital Transformations

Cloud native infrastructure provides the best customer experience for your digital transformation products. Resilient, scalable, always on, and of course agile updates are what everyone expects from a competitive digital product. After making the transition from monolith to microservices, creating autonomous "two-pizza" teams, governing bounded contexts, etc., focusing on the right approach to deploying those apps is required to ensure the results you want. We explore the cloud native characteristics that must be taken into account to achieve these results.

Cloud Native Deployment : The Best Experience for Your Digital Apps

Register for our webinar with WSO2 to view on-demand, as industry experts discuss how does the highly regulated nature of the banking industry impact its ability to move to the cloud and what strategies could banks adopt in response?

Financial institutions of all sizes across the globe recognise the need to transition to cloud-based services. This stems not only from the need to compete with agile neobanks, which reap the benefits of being cloud-native from their inception, but the need to build, launch and scale banking services at speeds that meet the high expectations of digital customers. A significant proportion of banks are also operating on very tight margins, and cloud IT systems offer a compelling resolution for board-mandated cost reduction currently impacting infrastructure and IT personnel budgets.

Appetite for cloud migration in financial services is abundant, but has cloud migration become a more fundamental pillar of banks’ overarching digital journeys?
 What are the differences in approach to cloud migration taken by banks of different sizes? ?
What strategies could banks further behind in their cloud journey use to catch up and leapfrog the competition?
How have cloud migration trends shifted as a result of the pandemic? Has Covid-19 shown that certain services should be prioritised (or de-prioritised) within cloud migration strategy?
How does the highly regulated nature of the banking industry impact its ability to move to the cloud and what strategies could banks adopt in response?
