Pretotyping is a growing technique for fast innovation, faster than developing an MVP. Pretotying is about doing the hardest part first, and the hardest part is almost always getting people to change their habits and try something new. Pretotyping allows you to experiment cheaply and look for market signals that you can then build into.

In this one-hour webinar, you'll learn what pretotyping is, the six main forms, how to iterate quickly, and much more. You'll learn why pretotyping is usually better than building a prototype or an MVP, and how several of today's successful products came out of a pretotyping experiment. Applies equally to physical and digital products and services.

This is for anyone interested in fast innovation: start-ups, marketers, intrapreneurs, product managers, and more. Pretotyping is a powerful tool that should be in every innovator's toolkit.

Physical and technological changes in computing and data storage have led us down a winding road to DevOps, which brings us to where we are today. Let’s take a brief look at the evolution of cloud hosting, from colocation to today’s cloud services, and the impact of these changes on IT decision-making.

Join this webcast with Sin-Mei Tsai, VP of Engineering along with Gavin Butler, Lead Site Reliability Engineer at Shippo, for a technical deep-dive into cloud applications and operations of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The growing popularity of object-based storage has resulted in the development of Ethernet-connected storage devices, herein referred to as IP-Based Drives and subsystems supporting object interfaces and in some cases the ability to run localized applications.
Typical scale-out storage nodes consist of relatively inexpensive enclosures with IP network connectivity, CPU, Memory and Direct Attached Storage (DAS). While inexpensive to deploy, these solutions become harder to manage over time.
To ease management of these drives, SNIA has approved the release of the IP-Based Drive Management Specification. In this webcast, you’ll hear from authors of the specification who’ll discuss:

• Major Components of the IP Based Drive Management Standard
• How the standard leverages the DMTF Redfish management standard to manage Kinetic and other IP-Based Drives
• Providing a standard management interface for drives that are part of JBOD or JBOF enclosures

This standard allows drive management to scale to datacenters and beyond, enabling automation and Software Defined Datacenters.

By driving containerized microservices into production, architecture and project teams are learning how to decompose monoliths, rapidly compose business solutions, and achieve greater resiliency. The transition requires teams to reinvent their application, reshape their architecture, and refresh their technology platform.

In this session, Chris Haddad, Chief Architect at Karux, will share how enterprise architecture teams chose their container platform, refactored their application portfolio, and accelerated development with API-first practices. Learn how you can establish a roadmap, craft an implementation plan, and acquire necessary skills.

When it comes to mobile applications for enterprise, mobile developers are required to deliver cross-platform mobile apps with powerful backends, insightful user analytics and engaging notifications, all while keeping development costs to a minimum. In this session, find out how to mobilize and modernize your apps fast with Telerik Platform and learn more on NativeScript, a powerful open-source cross-platform framework for building native apps.

Application containers are changing the way software is built and deployed. Managing and scaling application containers pose different challenges from that of traditional infrastructures. In this webcast we look at Kubernetes, an open source container cluster manager and how it simplifies automation, operations and scaling of containers.

Revisions to PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS (Data Security Standard) point toward the realization that security must be built into the development process and Cloud with SAAS computing.

Medical software and hardware, mobile applications, IoT etc. will require a new approach. This is frequently referred to as Rugged DevOps or SecDevOps, and the different approach called DevSecOps, embracing the speed of DevOps and continuous delivery in a secure environment. DevOps does affect security, and you can use it to your advantage. As cloud, big data and DevOps disrupt traditional approaches to security, new capabilities emerge to automate and enhance security operations.

Join this session and learn how to automatically address these data security blind spots and how security can be built into the development process and IT platforms. We will discuss how security can be built into Rugged DevOps,SecDevOps, DevSecOps, Scrum, SAFe, DAD and use in Large-scale Development.

Docker is an open source, lightweight, virtualized environment for portable applications. With all the buzz it has attracted, it can be hard to figure out exactly what Docker is and what it can do for you. This session will brief you the fundamentals of Docker, why it’s making waves and how it might be a useful addition to your platform. You will walk away with a full understanding of dockers and containers, how to create your own docker images and how docker can be used for development, testing and production.

Does your organization want to implement application portfolio management? Are you trying to determine the value in implementing APM? Are you struggling to know what tool you should use and what data is important to collect?

Application success is measured by the quality of the user experience (UX). That is why 95% of DevOps teams, with mature practices, now focus on the UX. Join this webinar to learn how to deliver an amazing User Experience for your mobile and web users’ using the HPE AppPulse suite.

In this web seminar, you will learn how to:

Measure Mobile and Web Applications by tracking and measuring the real User Experience like your users
Focus using Sentiment Analysis on what matters to your users by identifying and prioritizing tasks that affect most of your users, or critical functionality, that negatively impact User Experience
Improve speed of troubleshooting by spending less time tracking down problems and isolating problems down to the specific line of code, SQL statement, Ajax request, or log message

Is your business challenged with competing priorities and resources when it comes to application security testing and the need for more rapid application development? Are you impacted by costly and cumbersome remediation of security issues? In a world of competing requirements, how can your application security keep up with the rapid pace of development, while remaining effective?


Using lessons learned by working with some of the most advanced and innovative application security customers / programs, this webinar will cover:

Automation - where modern security tools are being included in the “treat infrastructure as code” mantra.
How development organizations have made static and dynamic analysis of applications more efficient and effective.
How to integrate application security throughout your software development lifecycle and the DevOps tool chain of automation using the Fortify Ecosystem.

Tech Companies and Start-ups that aim to solve problems in the financial industry have a much harder time than those, that work on simple consumer products. That’s because the financial market is riddled with inefficiencies, which arise because of a number of separate, but equally important issues.

We'll discuss some of these issues in this webinar, such as:

-Regulations are being updated too slowly / Regulations are too complex / Complex Legislation
-Banks are still the most important power in the financial markets / Hegemony of banks in the industry / The everlasting strength of traditional banks
-Fintech products have weak popularity compared to other consumer products / Negative associations related to the whole Financial sector / Lack of consumer trust for financial products
-Hard to reach software developers with experience / Software Developers can’t be found / It’s hard to hire the right people for the job
-Data safety / User privacy / Safety of exchanging financial information
