THEME #1
What is the biggest hurdles left to adoption of & migration to Cloud
THEME #2
Please pick one or more of Next Gen Technologies and address how they are impacted by and/or impacting Cloud: Artificial Intelligence, Business Intelligence, Big Data, Internet of Things, Automation, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Mobile, Social, Robotics, Robotic Process Automation, and Gamification attributes…
THEME #3
How has Cloud impacted your Application Development process and what is left as internal applications now that many of your software uses are consumed by a SaaS
THEME #4
What are some of the largest impacts of Cloud on Cybersecurity and Cybersecurity on Cloud
THEME #5
How has DevOps been impacted by Cloud
THEME #6
Business Continuity Planning (BCP) & Disaster Recovery (DR) Efforts on Cloud
THEME #7
The Major Cloud Service Providers are trying to change the value proposition for IaaS from turning it to Solution as a Service please speak to trends that you are seeing that support this observation and trend
THEME #8
We are all knowledgeable regarding the major Cloud Service Provider (CSP) offerngs (AWS, Google & MSFT) and that there are numerous Managed Service Provider (MSP) offerings for cloud Services. What process do you use to analysis and evaluate CSP vs. MSP as your direction to adopt and migrate to the cloud
THEME #9
What is your Cloud Integration Strategy?
THEME #10
Many changes are predicted in cloud for the coming year primarily in areas of customer behaviors, tooling requirements and vendor landscape. Please provide your observations that support this assertion
THEME #11
The next logical step is our transition to Cloud is to automate our Cloud Operations or CloudOps. Please share the tools, approaches and processes that you are using to do so
THEME #12
Are the incumbent Cloud Service Providers (CSPs - AWS, Google & MSFT) losing marketshare?
THEME #13
With the rise and proliferation of IoT we are seeing that IoT applications generate enormous amounts of data primarily from IoT sensors. This is leading to the rise of Edge Computing.
THEME #14
As firms increase their use of Cloud due to moving more of their workload to the cloud and as they are embracing new next gen technologies many of these generate more data that must be processed, analyzed and increase their storage needs. Bottom line firms cloud costs are growing.
THEME #15
We will be discussing pros and cons of using the Cloud for your Fax related needs. Share your experience, approach, benefits realized
THEME #16
How do you feel the emergence and growth of Blockchain will affect Cloud from both technical and business perspectives.
THEME #17
We are now seeing various Next Gen technologies being “mashed up” to provide advanced solutions via Cloud. How do we feel this will affect Cloud usage and drive changes to Cloud?
THEME #18
Thus far in 2018 we are seeing Cloud changing as there is a lot of Machine Learning capability being built into public cloud as hyperscale cloud vendors embrace AI trends. This will help users see how Machine Learning tools can add business value.
THEME #19
Our discussion will now focus on the question is Blockchain Cloud 2.0?
THEME #20
Industry wide we are seeing tremendous pace of data growth. Technology innovators are leading the movement toward faster network speeds.
THEME #21
Adopting Cloud has left many firms with new challenges on managing their cloud relationship with their CSP's as well as various aspects of their cloud instances. Some have chosen to create Cloud Management Offices (CMOs). We are seeking your thoughts on this approach and what the CMO should consist of
THEME SUMMARY
The use of CMOs is smart as it allows companies to focus on what they are good at and add more value to their customer base
- Most of the pane had consensus that themost important skill required in a 'CMO' setup is enterprise architecture
- A CMO should include people from more than IT so that Marketing and Line of Business units and their perspectives are included
THEME #22
What applications do you feel should not be migrated to the cloud
THEME SUMMARY
There are legitimate circumstances that currently exist where applications should not be migrated from on premises to the Cloud
- Due to local data protection-laws (as for example the European General Data Protection Regulation), sensible information may not be stored in certain countries.
- Different countries have export sanctions to a limited number of countries. If a global organization has local entities there, they may not be allowed to have access to the Cloud.
Which Applications should not be migrated to the cloud
1) Applications Running on Proprietary/Custom Hardware 2)Applications Running on Proprietary/Custom Operating Systems 3) Applications Requiring Low Latency
4) Application Clusters Using Shared Disk Architecture or IP Multicast for cluster communication 5) Applications need higher standards of security with sensitive data.
Applications containing sensitive data and legacy applications shouldnt be
think sensitive information such as blueprints, strategy, and other such data. However, one can argue that this is more of a data security issue and it may occur in on-prem as well, but then also, I think for such information on-prem systems are better.
old monolithic legacy systems. I would say, if cloud is a mandate then this should be used as an opportunity to re-write them. Banks are classical examples of such apps.
THEME #23
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) impact on cloud
THEME SUMMARY
GDPR and a number of other factors tilt the playing field in favor of the larger providers who can afford to fund activities needed to achieve compliance.
- GDPR clearly sets a standard in the sensitive data management: it could look cumbersome and obscure but I think it will act positively on the market allowing the selection of more structured operators
- Consolidation in the cloud industry is almost unavoidable: if it's not GDPR it will be economies of scale who will reward those who already own a preminent position.
I see this is an opportunity to CSPs for following; 1) Private cloud , 2)Data access and security policy , 3) Responsibility towards end users
Cloud implies greater automation many ways. In this sense, I think chat and other bots will take care of personal data much more efficiently than humans or more traditional apps.
I really believe that typical functionalities such as recover, export or delete my data are much more confident and transparently handled by a bot than by a combination of a human and a system
I think chat and other bots will take care of personal data much more efficiently than humans or more traditional apps. GDPR mechanisms for ensuring data protection and user rights over the data are much more easily for implementation and auditing using autonomous systems like bots.
