Cloud Computing : La tête dans les nuages?

Join a stellar line-up of ITSM experts as they predict what will impact ITSM in 2020.

Most IT organizations are currently working on transforming their existing IT delivery processes, with increasing use of Agile development methods (such as SCRUM), Continuous Delivery and DevOps. As a result of this transformation, traditional ITIL service management processes are being challenged for their relevance. ITIL processes are considered to be bureaucratic, slow and not relevant for the new digital ecosystem consisting. ITIL v3 also have some significant gaps as it didn’t cover the actual design and development of IT services (or products).

But now in the beginning of 2019, Axelos introduced ITIL 4.

Does this new version fill in these gaps?
How to combine ITIL and DevOps?
Does the digital enterprise still need ITIL 4?
Or will your DevOps journey fail without a solid service management practice?

This presentation will show how DevOps and ITIL should be combined in order to optimally manage the new digital ecosystem while at the same time being able to meet the increasingly stringent requirements imposed on IT service delivery.

As a term, Dev/Ops isn’t a new concept. The struggle to make development and infrastructure operations. Join this webcast to understand the interdependencies with each other has been a main issue for decades.

In this webinar practical strategies are explored to implement or improve Dev/Ops practices.

Traditional ITSM practices such as ITIL are being challenged by DevOps teams. Does a DevOps team still need an ITSM system? Can we not just use one single backlog to manage all our work including incidents and requests? Do we still need a CAB for change approvals? Is the traditional CMDB suitable for the dynamic cloud environment?

Join this webinar to learn all about how ITSM needs be transformed to leverage the DevOps way of working.

This is not going to be a normal BrightTalk event of sharing slides but instead an open conversation with Daniel Blander, well-known author of technology security practices and how to best blend them into DevOps, ITSM or general organisational practices. Daniel and I will spend 15-20 minutes discussing some basics, but we are looking for your questions on how to use security to help your staff, processes, suppliers and customers benefit from a safer technology product and services provider.

Daniel Blander leads the Security Portfolio for Virtual Clarity. He is a highly experienced and recognized expert in the fields of information security, risk management, compliance, operations, and organizational change. He has over 20 years of global experience as CTO, CSO, as well as an advisor to Fortune 100 and startups alike in the fields of Banking, Healthcare, Retail, Technology, Airline, Hospitality, Government, and Entertainment. His work resulted in his nomination in 2008 as Information Security of the Year for the West by the Executive Alliance and is a frequent lecturer at security conferences around the world. Daniel has also been recognised for his contributions to DevOps and the publications many view as the main books of knowledge such as The DevOps Handbook.

This session will be facilitated by Daniel Breston, a long-time technology professional in Banking and Utilities. Constantly involved in service management practices and events, Daniel has learned how to blend lean and agile to help leaders and teams make the best use of technology to serve their customers. Now Daniel is using this knowledge to look at cloud and other virtualisation practices to create the paradigm of technology and people.

Ever thought about an AI-driven service desk solution that can provide conversational workflow automation to deliver self-service and exceptional experience through an IT Cloud? Wait no more.

In this webinar, Muddu Sudhakar will showcase how cloud-native Conversational RPA is driving end-to-end automation for ITSM and operations within the enterprise to improve the service experience for all users while cutting costs up to 90%. Sudhakar tells all, as he shares the anatomy of conversational intelligence and Experience as a Service (XaaS). He’ll share how these transformational AI solutions are changing the way enterprises deliver improved collaborative employee and customer experiences while achieving business growth.

2019 has seen much of the ITSM industry focus on automation and its impact. From self-service, to AIOps and problem and incident management, the influence of automation has been far-reaching.

Join this panel to hear ITSM experts take a look back at where automation has taken us, and look forward to where it’ll lead us next.

Is 2020 the year that organizations realize that ITSM is about the business and not about IT? In this webinar, Doug Tedder discusses four hot business trends that will significantly impact how IT thinks about service management.

At AXELOS we are passionate about co-creation of value: developing our products & services to truly meet the needs of end users, and bring value to both parties. That means collaboration; early testing; iterative development; listening to your stories… ITIL 4 is no exception. Find out about all the goodies in ITIL 4; what went on behind (and in front of!) the scenes during development, and how we are continuing to keep our Guiding Principles at the heart of what we do.

I’ll talk about how the components of ITIL 4 address common challenges and opportunities at the heart of organisations, and how it leverages agile and lean concepts to deliver added value. I’ll give some insight on the reception from the market so far, and how YOU can help with further developments.

About the speaker:
Margo Leach is Chief Product Officer at AXELOS, and responsible for leading an amazing team of subject experts, market experts and development experts, to ensure our portfolios continue to deliver value to our customers and end users, and resonate in the market. Our purpose as an organisation is to help individuals and organisations achieve better outcomes, through the tailoring and application of best practice.

Margo first fell in love with ITIL when she didn’t even know it was called that… back when she was developing and launching digital products and was very happy there were people reminding her she needed to think about ongoing service… and also make sure she didn’t break stuff.

Continual improvement is a key practice in both implementing and maintaining the management of your services. But it is not realistic to jump from no continual improvement to an excellent continual improvement discipline. Using a maturity model helps to motivate, to direct and to measure the continual improvement of your continual improvement.

As AI-enabled tools continue to make a mark on IT operations, the face of proactive problem and incident management in the enterprise is starting to change.

From making IT staff roles’ easier to encouraging self-service, there is a broad range of AI-powered solutions on offer. Join leading ITSM experts as they debate the complexities, functionalities, benefits and considerations of next-generation cloud and hybrid problem and incident management tools.

Moderator: Elisabeth Thomas, Launch Product Marketing
Panellists: Christoph Goldenstern - VP, Kepner Tregoe; Mohan Kompella - VP, BigPanda and Beverly Weed-Shertzer - ITSM Author
