Future-Proof Your Data Value
Scott Baker, Sr. Director, Emerging Business Portfolio and Michelle Goetz, Principal Analyst Serving Enterprise Architecture
Evolving regulations, expanding service ecosystems and digital business create a chaotic world for data. Organizations can choose to be defensive and tighten their control of data to ensure that it is trusted and secured, or they can be offensive and democratize data to get value as quickly as possible to all areas of the business, reactively addressing challenges as they come. On their own, neither is a way to manage your data. Guest speaker Michele Goetz, principal analyst at Forrester Research, will provide the best practices necessary for orchestrating a balance of both offensive and defensive data governance. Learn how to: •Use profiling and discovery to understand data potential and risks at rest and in flight.•Architect data policies that protect data and still democratize insights.•Support a data governance program for central and decentralized effectiveness.•Activate data securely in a culture where everyone is a data owner.

Why Are Companies Deleting Data in Advance of GDPR?
Gary LaFever – Co-Founder & CEO, Anonos & Nirvana Farhadi, Global Head Financial Services, RegTech, Risk & Regulatory Compl.
Hitachi Vantara is focused on enabling organizations to unlock the full value of data by leveraging dynamic pseudonymisation to enable data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital transformation. The GDPR imposes lesser obligations and liabilities when technical and organizational measures are put into place as safeguards to protect the fundamental rights of data subject. You can achieve many business objectives associated with data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital transformation by separating the information value of data – on the one hand – from the risk of re-identification – on the other hand, by leveraging GDPR compliant pseudonymisation.

Digitization of Automotive Manufacturing
Greg Kinsey, Vice President Industrial Solutions, Hitachi Vantara
The automotive industry has been a leader in factory automation over the past 30 years. Much of the difficult, repetitive, physical work of producing cars – like welding, painting, assembly, etc. - is now done by industrial robots. While this automation has delivered benefits, it has also increased the complexity of managing and maintaining the factory. And in some cases, high levels of hard automation have reduced production flexibility. Today’s “fourth industrial revolution” is enabled by digitization: harvesting the vast amounts of data in these automated factories, to improve productivity/quality/flexibility through advanced analytics and cognitive systems.

Flash First Infrastructure – Key To Digital Transformation
Subu Ramakrishnan, Business Director, Infrastructure Platforms & Software – APAC Hitachi Data Systems
Businesses have to transform to keep ahead of competition and digital disruptors. It’s important for organizations to leverage data and technology for automating operations and processes, increase customer loyalty, attract new markets and grow revenue streams. Real time personalized customer services are dependent on constant analysis of vast amounts of data. This requires a robust, highly available IT infrastructure powered by purpose built Flash that provides speed, efficiency and agility to better serve customers while handling exponential data growth.While flash data reduction capabilities viz. compression and deduplication bring huge savings in terms of capacity, power and cooling it is important to understand that not all Flash technologies are same.HDS’ new systems with SVOS 7 software offerings include efficiencies that reduce storage needs by 5:1, intelligent flash-aware IO stack with predictable, low latency performance and guaranteed data availability to deliver new business models faster and more efficiently.

Vertically Integrated IT - Adapting your role to cloud
Chris Van Der Drift, Fracois Zimmerman, Udo Walberer.
Companies that are serious about moving to on-demand, service-led delivery recognise that they need to change from horizontally organised IT to vertically aligned IT. This has a huge impact on the day-to-day role of domain architects and enables them to move from a tactical to a strategic role. For example, instead of executing repetitive low-level provisioning tasks they now define policies and resource pools and manage service classes so that infrastructure can be consumed on-demand from a cloud management portal. In order to support this transition we need new management tools that can accelerate time to market and eliminate the operational handoffs between domain architects for hypervisor, server, network and storage layers.Join this discussion with the Hitachi Private Cloud team who can share how Hitachi can guide you through this transition as you adapt your role and remain relevant in the world of cloud.

IT Economics Transparency
Paul Lewis, Chief Technical Officer, Hitachi Data Systems, Canada, David Merrill, Chief Economist, Hitachi Data Systems
CIOs increasingly need to care about the finances and costs of IT. They must create services that business segments demand and align them with IT resources from other sources (like cloud providers). Internal IT has to compare and compete with new commercial offerings that are often sold directly to the business. IT will see major transformations in delivery and ownership over the next few years, and IT managers will need better transparency in internal costs in order to be relevant and competitive. There are many cases where IT departments need to act more like profit centers, treating internal users like customers and potentially even brokering several service models. New methods of metering, service level agreement management, chargeback and service flexibility are required. By attending this webcast, you’ll learn how to: •Understand what a CIO requires to know the true costs of IT.•Communicate with lines of business about internal and external IT delivery and service options.•Not be seduced by low prices (software as a service, platform as a service) and to communicate and measure total costs of IT.•Identify, measure and set plans to reduce IT costs.
