The Future of the IT Service Provider

Shown below is an outline of the agenda and topics:

Speaker: Mark Ford
Integrate your SDLC Tools Quickly and Easily with Tasktop Hub: Integrating your Micro Focus tools with other SDLC tools can bridge gaps and facilitate far better communication paths than emails and excel sheets alone. Sure, it would be great to have everyone under the same umbrella, but that’s not always the reality we live in. So why not allow other teams to work on the same Micro Focus ALM Requirement, Test, or Defect from their own SDLC tool? I’ll show you how you can set up a basic Defect synchronization between Micro Focus ALM and Atlassian JIRA for example in as little as 5 minutes using a product from Micro Focus partner Tasktop called Tasktop Hub
.
Speaker: Arvind Namasivayam
Tips and Tricks of Installing, Administering and Using Micro Focus Mobile Center: In this segment you will be introduced to a quick overview on Micro Focus Mobile Center. Arvind will explain some o the challenges that he faced while installing the tool. He will also share valuable tips and tricks on effectively implementing and using Micro Focus Mobile Center.

Five years have passed since the BrightTALK panel discussion ‘ITSM in 2013 and Beyond: Everything You Need to Know in 55 Minutes’. This is a reflection on the longevity of these thoughts and a sneak preview of new research about the foundational movements that you should be aware of, and apply more often.

According to the 2017-18 World Quality Report, 88% of companies surveyed are using or experimenting with DevOps, and that number is growing. Making the transformation is not easy, and it’s made even more complicated by tools that aren’t integrated with each other, do not communicate with each other, and do not offer end-to-end visibility into and collaboration across the DevOps pipeline.

Micro Focus recently introduced their DevOps Suite, consisting of best-of-breed lifecycle management (ALM Octane), functional and performance testing (StormRunner Functional and StormRunner Load), and production monitoring (AppPulse) tools.

Attend this webinar to hear about the DevOps Suite, and how it can help your team accelerate application delivery at high quality and scale. We’ll also show you an end-to-end demo of the products. Here is what you will learn:

• Challenges facing organizations making an agile or DevOps transformation today
• Why it’s critical for organizations to have DevOps tools that share data and insights with each other as well as being tightly integrated with the pipeline
• How the Micro Focus DevOps Suite provides you with lifecycle and
pipeline management, continuous functional and performance testing
from the cloud, and production monitoring for continuous assessment

This webinar is part of BrightTALK's Founders Spotlight series. In the seventh episode of this series, Harriet Jamieson interviews Jeff Rumburg, founder of MetricNet and recipient of the 2014 Ron Muns Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the IT Service and Support industry.

Jeff’s education includes an M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School, an M.S. magna cum laude in Operations Research from Stanford University, and a B.S. magna cum laude in Mechanical Engineering. He is author of A Hands-On Guide to Competitive Benchmarking: The Path to Continuous Quality and Productivity Improvement, is a renowned ITSM speaker, and thought leader, and has taught graduate-level engineering and business courses. He was previously Vice President at Gartner.

Vivit launches its first ever IT Operation Management (ITOM) SIG Talk event. We have 3 speakers who will give you insights in the ITSMA Containers Concept and migration into the Hybrid Cloud. They will share their knowledge and expertise and provide thought-provoking and actionable content.

Shown below is an outline of the agenda and topics:

•Speaker: Eric Krueger
Everything you need to know about the Micro Focus ITSMA Containers Concept: Containers are here and they are the best way to deploy, maintain and upgrade software. What are containers? How are they deployed? How is the software different on containers than traditional platforms? Why did HPE/Micro Focus decide on a containerization approach to their ITSM suite? Tune in and find out why containers are the deployment method of the future and how to transition your existing ITSM suite from your Linux or Windows environment to a Containerized environment.

•Speakers: David Angradi
A “real” migration into the Hybrid Cloud (HCM, PlateSpin, and Cloud Assess): The Hybrid cloud has either been a unicorn (something beautiful but not real) or a boogey man (something to prevent disruption) in our ecosystem for the last several years. In marketing and static architectures, we have seen a lot of promises, but very little actual progress.

Hybrid Cloud is becoming more important everyday as nearly all companies are in (or will be in) the public cloud but many of these same companies ‘know’ that they cannot be 100% public. So, the problem we are all trying to solve is how can we provide all the features, functions and automations.

What will be covered:

•Building and migrating existing workloads to a Hybrid cloud
•Use Cloud Assess product to discover and right size
•Plate spin to move – migrate – in automation
•Use HCM product for day-to-day management, automation and ITSM control
