DevOps Tools: Bridging digital transformation

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a key enabler of digital transformation—which is why, according to a 2018 Deloitte survey, 53% of respondents have already started their RPA journey, but only 3% of organisations have scaled their digital workforce.

Join our experts Jeremy Brown and Alain Salesse as they discuss how Micro Focus has helped enterprises address their most challenging automation problems. During this 45-minute webinar we will cover:

•What is RPA – understanding the capabilities to recognise the benefits
•Identifying good candidates for automation
•How to quantify your ‘quick-win’ business use cases
•Addressing challenging automation problems with real world customer success.

RPA is expected to achieve near universal adoption in the next few years, so it's time to get on board. Join this webinar to better understand the art of the possible in your business.

Micro Focus became a core Selenium Sponsor, because if every company is now a software company, it so follows that we are all too software testers – and solving problems for software testers is in our DNA
Our goal has long been to provide a solution to fit the needs of the Agile and DevTest oriented testers, while still leveraging the strengths of our core IP.
View this recorded webinar to learn how organisations are using these tools to overcome the scaling challenges of testing across agile and non-agile environments.

If data is king, then you had better make sure you collect ALL data types, right? How slow are the DB calls? Is your container host strangled? Are those VMs saturated? Is the quality of service from your cloud vendor random? These issues can and will impact your business. Collect Once - Store Once (COSO), our intelligent data lake, ensures that your precious data lives in one place, enabling you to do great things with it.

In this session, we’ll look at some of the new features that do this in OpsBridge 2019.02:

• See why OpsBridge has been awarded leader status by EMA for advanced IT analytics, and a gold medal by InfoTech for APM, amongst others
• Learn what COSO really is and how you can use BYOBI tools to exploit what it governs
• Watch short demos to see these new features in action.

Hybrid IT presents a whole new challenge for IT operations. The role of monitoring, identifying and resolving issues is required across a complex platform of on-premise, cloud and virtual servers.

To manage this complexity, companies are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to identify analytical patterns that help IT Operations reduce their mean time to repair. However, AIOps still requires manual response and workflows to resolve IT issues. This is where automation can help.

Join our industry experts, Harald Burose and Stuart Ellershaw, as they examine the role of automation in enhancing AIOps capabilities, including:

• Automated discovery – analyse the environment and identify events as they happen or before they happen
• Automated reveal - use AIOps and machine learning to consolidate and correlate events
• Automated remediation – use operation-efficient automation to reduce mean time to repair by 10%.

At its most basic, AIOps simply stands for Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations. And because AI isn't new, and neither is IT Operations, the concept of AIOps is well known. So why all the industry noise?

Mainly, it's because today’s IT world is highly fluid, with businesses seeking digital transformation and agility at an unprecedented pace. To coin a phrase, knowledge is power, and that power now resides with organisations that are equipped to collect, utilize and analyse big data from multiple sources. So, the pressure is on IT Operations to deliver.

Join our AIOps experts Harald Burose and Dominic Colson as they review how AIOps can help you:
• Store, monitor, and analyse data from traditional, virtual, private, public and multi-cloud estates
• Improve the quality of the data collected, for greater visibility and analysis
• Integrate with event correlation and analysis, improving mean time to resolution by 65%
• Accelerate the mean time to deliver new services by 70%
• Significantly improve collaboration between security and operations
• And much more...

But most importantly, join this webinar because AIOps is everywhere. It is improving customer experiences from airlines to agriculture, and helping businesses automate processes, drive efficiencies, and make decisions faster, all while helping to reduce IT budgets.

Organisations need to be built from the ground up to change focus from shareholder value to customer value. Relentlessly focus on finding waste to improve the flow of the system. With SAFe 5 being ‘released’, there is continued focus on Business Agility. While not everyone or organization are advocates of SAFe, some of their learned principals can be applied.
We will highlight practices that make sense for modern business. Helping to stay relevant in a disruptive marketplace.

Experts estimate that as many as half of all security breaches occur as the result of abused privileged credentials. Whether the privilege misuse occurs due to employee carelessness or is the work of a cyber-criminal who has leveraged the credentials of an insider to gain access to your IT network, you can best manage this risk by closely controlling and monitoring all privileged access.

In this webcast, Andras Cser, VP, Principal Analyst with Forrester and Tim Sedlack of Micro Focus will discuss best practices for taking control of privileged access in your organization and why it’s increasingly important to discover and monitor privileged entitlements – wherever they live.

ALM Octane was built from the ground up to give organisations the ability to scale delivery processes beyond the team level and meet the needs of the enterprise. One of its core abilities within this is to make sense of the myriad of different systems todays organisations have.

Everyone has heard about Dev, even DevOps – but what about SecOps and compliance?

You probably don't want to face a multi-million fine because of a customer data leak, likely to occur as a result of a lack of protection within an an app - but who is responsible for operational app security? Not Dev, they simply build the application. Not Sec, they simply monitor and alert you if there is a problem. So, it becomes the challenge of Ops!

Join Alan, Dominic and Stuart as they look at how including compliancy as a bolt-on is no longer adequate. Instead, compliancy of your security policies must be built into the complete DevOps workflow. If you are responsible for IT Operations, ensure you come to this webinar and learn:

- The importance of having security compliance built into the Dev process, rather than bolt-on
- How security policies help operations maintain healthy applications
- The importance of, and how to write and implement a response plan to handle potential security breaches.

Don’t wait for a legacy fault to suddenly raise its head potentially leading to fines. Join our webinar for the latest SecOp strategies.

Join our webinar to understand the challenge of combining the Agile Strategy traditionally adopted by Dev, with the goal to develop and release applications within budget, and as quickly as possible, with the contrasting Waterfall Strategy adopted by Ops, which is a step by step approach to maintain a stable IT environment.

The Agile Strategy meets the needs of your organisation, but often the at the expense of the Waterfall Strategy that supports operational reliability. If this is a challenge you face, then attend this webinar and learn how to:

- Plan and develop security driven applications
- Why you need to monitor non-persistent compute using docker and cloud technologies
- Automate development seamlessly into operations using PaaS solutions

Discover how leading with Ops and the provision of an PaaS system for use by Dev, can solve your DevOps challenge.
