DevOps: From Concepts to Practical Applicatons

Please join us on March 6th, 2014 at 10am GMT for our latest Webinar Event: Turning Obstacles into Advantages by leveraging big data analytics.

The explosion of new data sources enables companies to gain insights that were not previously available, but with these new opportunities also come new challenges like resource scarcity and Big Data integration. Companies are turning to advanced analytics and innovative new technologies to answer critical customer-centric questions faster than the competition. But resources, especially Data Scientists and Hadoop experts are rare. BIRT Analytics, Actuate’s predictive analytics and visual data mining solution, helps business users rapidly uncover these insights and effectively build a customer-centric strategy with advanced, easy-to-use analytics.

You will learn how to:

-Create sustainable business growth by uncovering revenue-generating customer opportunities
-Leverage exploratory, descriptive, and predictive analytical and statistical techniques to drive customer-focused strategies
-Drill down into data to identify patterns and hidden relationships, profile top buyers and accurately forecast trends and profits
-Arm business users with information to make decisions without burdening the data scientist, nor interrupting IT in its core competencies

Over the course of the last 15-20 years, “industry experts” have been proclaiming the death of the mainframe. The reality is that the mainframe continues to thrive and grow and house the majority of the world’s most critical business data.

The real issue we are beginning to experience is a shortage of skills for managing the mainframe. Mainframe DBAs are aging and retiring and new talent is not being trained quick enough. The new generation of IT professionals has a completely different way of thinking and working. The i(Pad,Pod, and Phone) generation has no interest in the acronyms TSO or ISPF. In order for these up and coming professionals to manage the mainframe they will require a new toolset geared towards their way of thinking.

In this webcast, we’ll provide real life examples of z/OS systems management for the next gen mainframe. We’ll also discuss how an integrated role based workspace can help you simply and effectively manage tasks like identifying DB2 performance bottlenecks or performing complex migrations.

With over 1,000,000 apps in Apple's app store alone, getting your app seen amongst all the competing apps is an increasingly important and specialist activity, even apps that don't compete with you on a product level compete in search results. Forrester research shows that over 63% of apps are discovered through organic app store search alone, and over 75% of apps are downloaded with no prior knowledge of the app's existence. Smart Phone and Tablet search behaviours are changing, we've seen a 6% year on year decline in Google Search via mobile, but a staggering 1,000%+ increase in app store browsing. Big brands can no longer rely on customers searching for them by brand, customers increasingly use app stores to search for products like Linen as opposed to the retailers like John Lewis who might supply them. This webinar seeks to introduce you to the key challenges, and how they can be overcome by focussing on getting the best out of the app store ecosystem.
