Digital Transformation Enablers – Core Infrastructure and Technologies - Day 3

• Discussing the intersection of on-premises data centers, private clouds, and public clouds and the challenges and opportunities these pose. 
• What are the governance issues raised when using Data Centre Interconnection to overcome speed and agility challenges? 
• Deconstructing the traditional data centre model to achieve tailored flexibility and optimisation for different business areas, workloads, evolving partner ecosystems and computing at the edge for things such as the Internet of Things (IoT) 
• The importance of API-based integration platforms for interoperability. 

This session will cover:

○ Discussing the ecosystem of data warehouses/lakes/the cloud, what is needed to build an effective analytics environment. Examining the benefits and pitfalls of each approach. 

○ Do you have access to the data you need, and if not, how do you go about gaining access and organising that data? 

○ Generating insights that reduce Inefficiencies in your business processes – where can improvements be made that have the biggest impact? And what challenges are to be overcome to make such improvements? 

○ The right data at the right time – What innovative approaches can be used to identify the right data-set with the right signals to train algorithms? 

• How to use Data Science to create a sustainable impact on the bottom-line by developing innovative products, enhancing customer experience and building long-term customer loyalty. 
• How Machine Learning can help improve predictive models, develop actionable consumer insights and enhance decision management systems? 

○ Discussing strategies for simplifying and transforming applications, standardising platforms, and automating operations to improve services, deliver more value and lower costs.  

○ In what ways can the Internet of Things, pervasive sensing, and RPA be incorporated into companies existing data fabric? 

○ How do we integrate our connected ecosystem of suppliers, customers, and stakeholders and realise the vision of the “digital value chain”? 

○ Legacy system challenges discussed and how to overcome them. 

• With Quantum Computing providing the ability to easily query, monitor, analyze, and act on data at scale, from any source at any time on a scale which has never been seen before. What are the tangible opportunities of this technology and how can it be implemented in the real-world? 
• Discussing the evolving quantum ecosystem, the technology and knowledge gaps that need to be bridged to enable future implementation. 

• Arguments that blockchain is just one of many databases that is not yet very good, or very fast, or very scalable, 
• Understanding that what blockchain does, it does very well. 
• Examining if it will take an open model to build out the protocols – the transformation process. 
• Exploring why blockchain will become transformative where authenticity is critical, which gets you to things like global clearance, the global supply chain, healthcare, and aerospace 
• Coopetition’ between and across industries, and around the world
