Empowering your Software Testing Organization with Innovation

Every company today is a technology company. This trend has opened up new possibilities for every organization in any industry. Imagine if media companies let consumers experience scenes from their favorite TV show with augmented reality. Imagine if IT played an active role in retooling high-cost training and simulation environments with virtual reality.

Join Bill Briggs, CTO at Deloitte, and Ross Mason, Founder and VP of Product Strategy at MuleSoft, to learn what organizations and your business can look like in the future and how you can start today to make the imaginative possibilities into a reality.

Attendees will learn:

– How virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, microservices, and the Internet of Things will disrupt businesses in the next 18-24 months
– How the digital future of businesses will impact the way IT plays a role within enterprises
– How companies can leverage API-led connectivity to build application networks that set the foundation for making the future into a reality sooner

The widespread adoption of DevOps and agile IT delivery systems presents new security challenges. Developers need security tools that are integrated with their build processes so they can test the integrity and security of their applications within minutes. Similarly, infosec managers need security tools that automatically discover and protect new applications as they are delivered via rapid automation and elastic processes. But traditional security tools don’t do either of these things. Thus, security is increasingly viewed as a blocker to agile software development and DevOps deployment. To solve this problem, security has to fundamentally evolve from a production-time concept to something that is much more automated and embedded into the dev-test-build cycle itself,

Attend this webinar to learn:
•Why trying to use traditional security tools in DevOps environments will slow down both developers and security operations
•Key attributes you should be thinking about to make your security plan future-proof
•Where can security automation be applied to better align security with DevOps delivery models

Building brand affection is one of the best things you can do for any product. Think about it -- do you ask for a tissue or do you ask for a Kleenex? Do you look for a plastic bandage or do you ask for a Band-Aid? Do you "use a search engine to find out information about your blind date" or do you Google them?

This is more than performance marketing -- which evolved solely to drive transactions and downloads -- this is awareness marketing. And for the games community, it's about getting people to remember and associate an emotion with your game, so they seek it out now -- and later. But brand awareness is hard to measure -- and hard to get your arms around. Many games teams spend little to no budget, favoring the results-focused performance marketing. We're going to show you how to be better than them -- and get the advantage for your mobile game, starting today.

Venturebeat's own CEO Matt Marshall will sit down with execs from the gaming industry such as Seriously's VP of marketing and Eli Danziger, product manager for YouTube Ads as well as the CMO of Smule, Rob Singer. Together, we'll discuss storytelling and brand awareness marketing tips tailored to mobile games today.

In this third installment of our Building Games Communities series, you will:

* Learn how to use YouTube and other channels to drive brand awareness for mobile games;
* Find the right time to invest in brand awareness marketing in your mobile game lifecycle; and
* Understand the right KPIs to measure ROI on awareness marketing.

Our esteemed panel for this rockstar discussion includes:

* Matt Marshall, CEO, VentureBeat
* Phil Hickey, VP Marketing and Communications; Seriously
* Rob Singer, CMO, Smule
* Eli Danziger, product manager, YouTube
* Wendy Schuchart, Moderator, GamesBeat

Load balancing and what load balancers can do are undergoing significant changes as enterprises seek to deploy cloud-native applications in data centers and public clouds. According to Gartner, “Application-centric personnel are driving a return to lightweight, disaggregated load balancers, creating challenges and opportunities for I&O leaders.”

Simultaneously, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is now reaching mainstream enterprises with the Cisco Cloud Services Platform (CSP) 2100. Avi Networks and Cisco CSP integrate to provide a turn-key solution for the rapid deployment of application services such as load balancing, analytics, and autoscaling on an elastic NFV platform, without requiring any additional expertise. The joint solution ensures that administrators can efficiently roll out elastic, high-performance, load balancing and application monitoring capabilities.

Join Avi Networks and Cisco guest speaker, Gunnar Anderson to learn how enterprises now have an opportunity to take advantage of software-defined load balancing and NFV quickly and easily using:

• Standard x86 servers
• Virtualized/software-based functions
• API-driven approach
• Elastic scaling to millions of SSL TPS

Everybody is joining the microservices bandwagon and only some enterprises truly see the benefits of adopting microservices. The real challenge is not only cultural adoption but also a question of choosing the right technical tools to enable and secure your microservices.

Join this webinar to learn:

- Key considerations of enabling microservices within your enterprise
- How DevOps fits in the microservices lifecycle and how to align team culture

Digital transformation is a top business priority and it includes embracing consumer trends around mobility. However, recent stats on the state of mobile app development in the enterprise are dismal. Gartner has also concluded that the enterprise mobile app journey is a complicated one for IT.

All too often mobile apps fail before they’re off the ground because companies try to do too much, too quickly. The road to digital transformation – and mobile – is a journey, not a race.

Join Tom Ku, VP Enterprise Mobility and hear him share our recommendation around breaking this journey down into digestible, easy to rollout and test steps before achieving ultimate mobile nirvana!
