RETHINK TECHNOLOGY – Transforming IT Infrastructure and Software Delivery – 2018

February 15 and 16, 2018

RETHINK TECHNOLOGY

Transforming IT Infrastructure and Software Delivery

Following the huge adoption of Consumer Internet, we have entered the age of Industrial Internet. According to a recent study by McKinsey, by 2025 with the adoption of Industrial Internet, digitization of industrial applications will account for 43 percent of the global economy, or approximately $43 trillion yearly. Also, the report suggests that the Internet of Things (IoT) could create $11.1 trillion on annual basis by 2025. These horizons present new waves of opportunity, growth and innovation, however, it all depends on our ability to streamline IT Infrastructure and Software Delivery.

With the recent evolution in Cloud, Social, Mobile and Open Source technologies the classic IT has been disrupted – the old Compute, Network, and Storage models and associated industries are experiencing a sea of change and fighting for their survival and relevance. The Open Source revolution has enabled a host of infrastructure related technologies and commoditized hardware, big data analytics, and many of new platforms are providing new infrastructure for business and technology operations.

Additionally, Software Application development, upgrades, and maintenance form the heart of IT organizations. However, approximately 70 percent of all software development projects are either challenged or fail outright. In the majority of organizations, engineers tend to spend most of their time on activities other than developing code. Software release should be fast, reliable, repeatable and fully automated. Forward thinking companies are embracing Agile, CI/CD, DevOps, and next generation Cloud technologies to release their large projects with complicated codebases several times a day to gain new levels of efficiencies and business innovations.

These developments in IT Infrastructure and Software Delivery, demand new ways of thinking about the enterprise, information systems, work, and the new role of IT and Engineering organizations and their executives. The RETHINK TECHNOLOGY program explores opportunities in all core areas of IT Infrastructure and Software Delivery preparing organizations for the age of Industrial Internet, and the projected 2025 $100 trillion annual economy.
