Modern Infrastructure: Agile - Lean - Continuous

Successful Internet-based businesses rely on rapid development and deployment of software to deliver new features to customers.  They use agile methods and have reduced the time to test, integrate and put capability into production.  You want to do some of that too, but you are not a start-up web business.  You have legacy, infrastructure, in short, baggage, that you need to bring along.  Maybe you are a government agency wanting to serve citizens better, but you can't adopt the same model as, say, Facebook or Itsy.

This event is about the evolving enterprise IT infrastructure, and how technology-dependent organizations can improve IT reliability and business value while leveraging technology to improve competitiveness, service delivery and customer/citizen satisfaction.

The event examines the benefits and challenges of modern IT infrastructures, with a focus on the intersections and touch points between the public and private sector.  The content will addresses lean, agile, devops and big data principles, and provides attendees with information on how they can approach these in the context of their own enterprise.

The IT Conundrum: greater speed AND higher reliability.
Business is done through IT.  That is a basic reality of today, creating two camps in IT organizations: operations and development.  These work towards fundamentally different goals.  Operations need stability, security and control in the production environments.  Developers need agility and flexibility to deliver the shiny new feature demanded by businesses and customers.  Each is crucial to success.
