Making the transition from legacy systems to next generation implementations is a major decision point for virtually any organization trying to take advantage of the new era in end user enablement through personal devices, connectivity and apps. Indeed, while digital transformation is one of those key buzzwords that many toss around, what does it really mean and how will it affect your business? Further, with so many options on the horizon, what are some of the key components you need to be most aware of and in some cases, concerned by? And how can you avoid many of the failures currently prevalent among companies trying to make digital transformation work for their business with limited success?
This presentation will focus on key strategies and implementation techniques that will ultimately make it far easier to migrate to next generation business solutions.
Covered in the material will be:
1. How does mobile enablement directly affect my business?
2. Which workers are most likely to demand and/or require new systems and why?
3. With all the talk of relying on the cloud, is it really the panacea that it's cracked up to be?
4. Avoiding the pitfalls of inadequate security and the monumental costs associated with a lack thereof.
5. How to align a strategy to best leverage partnerships and services when resources are limited and plans aren't complete.

Keith Fuentes, Vice President, Knox Services, Samsung

At Samsung, we've challenged ourselves to allow our customers to work without barriers. This presentation will highlight a few ways Samsung can use our products and solutions to help customers do bigger things.

The role of the modern IT executive is more complex than it has ever been before. Not just because the technology landscape has become more complex, but also because increasingly IT execs have had to become a business-focused executive, not just a technologist. Long have we talked about the CIO and CISO getting a seat at the table but modern businesses are now demanding that their technology impresario join them and leverage this deep and rich technical acumen to allow the organization as-a-whole to better position itself for market-place success. Technology has always had a transformative impact on business, and perhaps nowhere is this ongoing evolution more keenly apparent than in pervasive connectivity. Today's extreme connectedness is the primary force shaping the strategic and tactical outlooks of all enterprises.
