North America is a guiding region for technology innovation, and for the most part our inspiring speakers will represent North American companies.  We have invited 24 companies to talk about the topics, and all these companies are regarded as disruptive and innovative leaders in their home markets. Furthermore, all these companies are actively looking to expand their footprint in Europe. Here a selection: Cloud Strategies for Businesses: Cloud Technology Partners Egenera   Mobility for the Enterprise: Good Technology Wave Systems Corp.   Social Networks and the Marketing Revolution: Acquia HubSpot   The Future of Big Data: NuoDB DataStax   Smart Urban Solutions: InnoCentive Big Belly Solar   Collaboration in the Workplace: Huddle blueKiwi   In addition we’ll talk about the United Kingdom as a destination for innovative companies in digital industries.  International technology companies will share their experiences of establishing their European HQ in the UK.

Disrupting London is aimed at IT managers and CIOs of both large organizations as well as small to medium-sized businesses who are eager to hear first –hand what is happening in enterprise IT in North America, and how these developments may very well impact their own organizations. Disrupting London is also aimed at entrepreneurs, developers, investors and early-adopters. In addition, Gartner predicts that Chief Marketing Officers will spend more money on IT than CIOs by the year 2017 as a result of the ongoing shift to technology-based marketing.  Marketing managers and digital marketers will need to get used to new tools, develop new capabilities and the marketing revolution will be a key element of Disrupting London.

This special symposium provides an invaluable opportunity to examine the government’s approach to promoting shared services in the public sector and explore what more can still be done to increase efficiencies whilst maintaining quality standards in delivery. I am pleased to advise you that we offer a 20% early registration discount off the standard delegate rates for all bookings received by 19th December 2012.

This timely symposium provides an early opportunity to examine the draft Bill, discuss the latest government thinking on crime reduction and policing in the information age and explore how the balance can be struck between protecting the public and safeguarding civil liberties.

Who is your user population? How can you represent those people in a manner that your mind can easily grasp (personas)? What problems do they need to solve, and what would they consider the characteristics of a good solution (user stories)? How can you tell when you've gotten it right (usability testing, program instrumentation)? What happens when easy-to-use programs meet security requirements? And finally, how do we put on a final layer of polish (JMIGA?)? These principles apply equally to desktop, web and mobile device interfaces.

Alys Woodward from IDC will provide the keynote at this prestigious event which brings together technical industry experts and strategic visionaries to explore the roles of Data Integration, Master Data Management (MDM), Data Quality, and Information Lifecycle Management in the simple equation: return on data = value of data divided by cost of data. What you will learn during this half day event: • How to capitalise on the business value of big data while avoiding unforeseen cost, complexity and risk. • Disciplines for measuring and continuously maximising your “return on data”. • The impact of cloud, social and mobile computing on how you create, manage and utilise data. • The multiple facets of the big data phenomenon, and its impact on your organisation. • The latest release of the Informatica Platform, Informatica 9.5, and the capabilities necessary to ensure that you don’t merely cope in the era of big data, but that you thrive. • How IT can use data to help boost value through proactive customer engagement, powered by social, mobile and cloud MDM. • Lean data management techniques to meet application and data warehouse service level agreements (SLAs).

Kajaani is located in central Finland in the region of Kainuu, bordering Russia in the east. Today, Kajaani is proposing itself as the ideal location in Northern Europe for sustainable Data centre Operations. As a location, it has existing infrastructure perfectly positioned for Data centre business. So much so that the Finnish Government has chosen to locate its new Super Computer Data Centre on a UPM site that used to house a paper mill, due to go live in Q3 2012. The Super Computer project is due to establish the world's 1st zero-emissions Super Computer, utilising the local environment in terms of 100% non-mechanical cooling (water and/or air resources). The Finnish government is working with the Green Grid and others to open up and share best practice of design, build and operation to maximise energy efficiency, adhering to similar objectives as the Open Compute programme. The challenge of managing IT complexity demands a constant flow of new ideas and innovative solutions. The cost of energy, use of sustainable technologies, provisioning for expansion, security and connectivity, all feature highly in creating forward strategies for owned or outsourced data centres. Data centre location remains a critical issue in the IT decision making process, and this event is designed for both investors, and outsourcers to third party data centres. Why Attend? The objective of the one-day forum is to bring together stakeholders and industry professionals across the entire data centre community to explore how the Nordic region is becoming an established location for DC operations with its abundance of sustainable renewable energy, perfect environmental and political conditions, excellent access to the major European international internet exchanges and direct access into the fast growing Baltic and Russian markets. Attendees will gain invaluable knowledge and receive unique insights from an outstanding panel of international experts on how to develop new regions to become power houses for Data Centre operations, how power and cooling sustainability is crucial to TCO and how supercomputing may play a part in the Cloud computing era. Attendees will also have the opportunity to witness a first-of-class modern modular data centre during build and operation, and learn how existing industrial infrastructure has been adapted to suit modern data centre requirements to exploit the possibility of minimal CAPEX development. http://www.datacentresfinland.com/ LOCATION:United Kingdom URL:http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/events/datacentre-forum-invest-in-kainuu-iik-92894 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20121205 DTEND:20121208 DTSTAMP:20130619T151852 CREATED:20120911T173449 LAST-MODIFIED:20120911T173649 UID:92253@http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk SUMMARY:The Prospects of Mobile Internet World & Awards 2012 (MIWA2012) DESCRIPTION: Mobile Internet World & Awards (MIWA) is the largest and most elite global mobile Internet summit.

The focus of 'The Madness Sessions' is on the convergence of the 4 disruptive technologies Mobile, Smart Systems, Cloud and Social Media. 'Get the Big Picture for Big Data' deals with the generation of massive streams of data and how to make sense of the exponentially increasing amounts of this information in daily life. There’s a perfect storm of disruption coming, we can’t do things the same way anymore. CIOs, senior managers, IT managers, business development managers, entrepreneurs - they all need to be out front, leading the change. It is about putting the “business” out to where the customers are. This is about flexibility and adaptability, working to new rules of design - making technology invisible by putting users at the centre of design. The ways information technologies are deployed are changing too, as the confluence of smart systems, social media, mobile and cloud computing reallocate technology costs and usage patterns. At the same time new ways are being created for individuals to consume goods and services and for entrepreneurs and companies to dream up viable business models. Smart phones and tablets are ubiquitous, and they are rapidly transforming how we all shop, connect, get around, and lead our daily lives. And Big Data makes sense of the exponentially increasing amounts of information in daily life. The phrase ‘Perfect Storm’ describes this rapidly shifting technology environment – raising serious questions for executives about how to help their companies capitalize on the transformation under way. Now it’s all about how to adapt management and organizational structures to meet these demands.

Total Telecom Customer Experience Summit 2012 has been specifically designed to define CEM to achieve effective market differentiation for industry players. Today's consumers and enterprises are increasingly selecting telcos based on the quality of their customer experience. This is despite the fact that there is still no industry consensus about what CEM actually means. Some telcos look to complex support systems to deliver a good customer experience but others believe focussing on the basics - network quality, effective customer care and clear tariff packages - is the way to go. Be that as it may, what is clear is that many predict CEM will be the new point of differentiation for successful telecoms players for the foreseeable future. On the agenda • Everyone's talking about it...but what is CEM? • Using CEM as a point of differentiation • Strategies to reduce churn in a competitive market • Real-time data, analytics and billing strategies • Dealing with innovation and the customer experience • Is it wise to outsource call centres? • The benefits of self service portals • Using social media to communicate with customers • Customer experience high street store style • CEM strategies to retain enterprise customers • What CEM trends will we see in future?

Dr Bill Bellows is dedicated to giving insight into how people can think beyond systems thinking and make the most of its benefits. An Associate Fellow in the InThinking Network at United Technologies’ Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne business unit in Canoga Park, California, he works with real-life rocket scientists to teach them how to take an holistic approach to their work in order to make problem solving a positive habit. As the keynote speaker at the Systems Thinking Summit 2012, he will be addressing delegates on how they can ‘think like rocket scientists’ and see the relationships between every process and practice in their work.

Under existing laws, however, many police investigations are hampered by difficulties in obtaining crucial communications data since many service providers are under no obligation to collect and store user data. Seeking to address the inadequate legislative framework, the government published the Draft Communications Data Bill on 14th June 2012, setting out vital powers to help catch criminals, save lives and protect children. This timely symposium provides an early opportunity to examine the draft Bill, discuss the latest government thinking on crime reduction and policing in the information age and explore how the balance can be struck between protecting the public and safeguarding civil liberties. I am pleased to advise you that we offer a 20% early registration discount off the standard delegate rates for all bookings received by 13th September 2012.

In two to three years' time, where will your data centre be? What will be the most cost effective way to run your critical services? The evolution continues with the office itself. Many organisations are dramatically reducing costs by downsizing their facilities, expecting up to a third of staff to be working remotely at all times. Businesses require flexibility from their workers and in return ‘Generation Y' are making their own demands on the business. The line between work and play is continuing to blur with the cultural shift towards BYOD. This allows employees to keep on top of their work whilst at home, travelling or on holiday. There are financial and productivity advantages but what security risks come with the territory? Computing's second summit, ‘The Enterprise of the Future' will examine the challenges facing your organisation in the new world of work and will show you why you need to start planning for these changes now. Through expert keynotes, case studies and panel discussions we will address how you can future proof your enterprise - from datacentre to device. Discover why it's time to stop thinking and how to make the best of new technologies to improve your organisation's productivity whilst reducing costs.

Then along with the majority of other senior executives in Europe and the US, you are facing one of the most challenging organisational issues today. Smart people have their own opinions, want freedom to explore and thrive on challenges. We cannot simply tell them what to do. Effective leaders don't manage knowledge workers. Instead they guide, encourage, motivate and collaborate with them. If done right and with authenticity, this can drive your organisation to the next level of growth. This summit is not for everyone. It’s for leaders like you who realise the key to unlocking the power of a business goes beyond another standard tool or solution. You want collaboration, innovation and action. You want your people to have personal ownership to what you’re trying to achieve. You want your organisation to live strategy.

Creating opportunities with Business Intelligence and Performance Management in a new era: Exploiting big data, analytics, social, mobile, cloud and other key technology trends The last few years have seen huge changes in Business Intelligence (BI) and Performance Management (PM) as the proliferation of data and advances in technologies push the pace of innovation. BI and PM are on the cusp of a profound transformation thanks to a combination of big data, analytics, social, mobile, cloud and other technology trends. Exploding levels of data, social media interactions, other new data sources and technologies are presenting organisations with a range of challenges, but also creating unprecedented opportunities. Forward-thinking organisations are taking advantage of this massive wave of change to drive greater business insights and economic value from their data than ever before. They are integrating more and varied data into their BI and PM processes, and building data science teams to analyse data in new ways to create and enhance products and services. But alongside these opportunities, the key challenges often remain the same: budget cuts, improving data quality, cultural transformation, the cost to store data, handling unstructured data, poor response time to changing BI needs and information access for multiple users across the organisation. There’s a pressing need to support business activities with better insights, whilst keeping these things aligned with changing plans and circumstances. Key topics to be addressed at the 8th Obis Omni Forum include: • Effective BI and PM strategy • Dealing with big data • Social media and business analytics • Mobile BI • Cloud based BI and PM • Improving Data Quality • Self-service BI • BI and PM technology trends With a careful balance of strategic and practical, visionary and ‘hands-on’ sessions, you will be able to discover the latest tools and technologies, draw on the lessons learnt by early adopters and experts, and will leave with proven strategies to help you address the ongoing challenges and take advantage of the new possibilities for BI and PM in a new era. The event is completely free to attend and is exclusive to end user business and IT practitioners.

This was shocking news that has significant competitive implications for UK businesses struggling in uncertain times. But only a year later, reports from the business press are painting a different picture, as thought leaders from a variety of different industries are starting to leverage insight in a way that is transforming the way their organisations work. This phenomena, known as big data is enabling organisations to get the right answers to their biggest questions-faster. Tools such as Hadoop and Cassandra are being deployed to reveal previously unseen patterns, to help companies identify trends, react to immediate business conditions and open the doors to new opportunities. But big data tools are not, in themselves a ‘magic bullet’ and there will be challenges along the way that will threaten to derail any initiative before it even gets off the ground. For a start, justifying the investment in big data isn't easy. Many will struggle to define a business case, and the structural, people and process changes that will likely occur with a big data effort need to be managed very carefully to ensure success. Research with members of Big Data Insight Group, the UK’s first dedicated big data community has revealed 8 key questions that must be considered before embarking on any big data programme. And these questions will be explored and discussed at our 4th Big Data Insight Group Forum, ‘Seizing competitive advantage through the power of insight-driven decision making.’ • What can’t you do today that big data can help you with? • Does the potential for accelerating existing business processes warrant the potential costs associated with big data adoption: technology adoption costs, project ramp up staff hiring and re training? • Do you have the appropriate business sponsor who can recognise the opportunities for better use of data and make the business case for assembling the resources? • Do you have the skills to analyse, interpret and act on this rich intelligence in a timely fashion? If not- what are your options? • Have you considered the policies that govern access to data? • How can you restructure workflows to make data flow more logically through an organisation to ensure that information gets to the right person and is acted upon in real time? • How do you embed a culture of insight-driven decision making throughout your organisation? • How can you empower end users by enabling them to make insightful decisions? • Have you ensured privacy and security mechanisms are in place? • Should your big data initiative replace or run alongside your business intelligence and data-warehousing activities? Join over 150 leading practitioners and experts responsible for collecting, analysing, and manipulating data, as well as high-level decision makers who use the information data reveals to drive business strategy or make policy.

We believe that moving to cloud is an unstoppable trend and in the foreseeable future all IT assets will move to the cloud, no matter the reason is for reduced CAPEX, cost cutting, hardware savings, or energy use & carbon emissions reduction, and other millions of reasons. This is the main reason we name the event as ALL IN THE CLOUD. ACA 2012 is the first event in the ALL IN THE CLOUD series. ACA 2012 attendees are offered an unparalleled look into what’s new and what’s on the horizon in cloud computing solutions. No other event offers the same quality, depth, and breadth of technical advancements and trends while providing a world-class networking opportunity that helps you connect with your colleagues from Asia and even around the world. Worldwide spending on cloud computing services amounted to US$ 90 billion in 2011, with 60% market share of US market, 24.7% of Europe and 10% of Japan, according to a white paper by China Academy of Telecommunication Research of MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China). And global cloud computing services revenue is expected to hit US$148.8 billion 2014, forecast by Gartner. In 2012, up to two-thirds of the total cloud investment is estimated to come from SMBs in Korea, China, and India, investing up to US$ 11 billion in cloud-related technologies. While the strongest growth among Asia-Pacific economies is expected to take place in China, AMI-Partners expect the ASEAN markets to be the next fastest growing sub-region, with an annual growth potential of over 20%. As the leader of worldwide growth of the cloud computing markets over the next five years, Asia-Pacific markets will provide ICT vendors with the strongest growth opportunities. Topics will be addressed:  The Role of Governments in Promotion of Cloud  Telco Cloud: Opportunities and Strategies  Cloud Infrastructure: Data centers and Networks  Cloud Adoption Strategies: XaaS and Private, Public & Hybrid  Virtualization and Cloud  HPC and Big Data in the Cloud  Security in the Cloud  Real world cloud case studies The theme of this year’s event is: from hype to reality. We anticipate 50+ industry leaders and 300+ senior executives will join this high profile event. The 4-day event aims to be the best event ever for industry leaders from the entire cloud ecosystem in Asia and beyond to show best practices, bring proven solutions, share insights on the current status of the industry, and inspire visions on the trends and issues in coming years!

However, it has also opened the door to a whole new level of threat from those who wish the industry harm. It is against this backdrop that cyber attacks are evolving in both frequency and effectiveness. Just this month, it has been discovered that gas pipelines in the USA have been subjected to an ongoing coordinated cyber attack by unknown hackers. Utilities and entities in the Middle East and beyond are potentially just as vulnerable to these exploits and, if they were crippled by a sustained, co-ordinated cyber attack then the consequences for the region could be devastating, resulting in disrupted production, potential environmental damage and loss of life. From nation states through to terrorist groups, ‘hacktivists’, criminal gangs and more conventional hackers, there is no longer a set or defined enemy. These differing groups can target the increasingly widespread use of interconnected networks and control systems in oil, gas and other industries. SMi Group’s second annual Oil and Gas Cyber Security conference will discuss the steps being taken to reduce the risk of cyber attacks, lessons learnt from previous incidents and best practice for the future.

The advantage of the Internet, the quick, seismographic recording of impulses and opinions, can be directly capitalized upon. The Internet has since become a marketplace for opinions, a platform for testing and launching new trends and an influential component in the competitive arena. Digital communication is important. Because it is available, because it is growing and because it influences target groups such as consumers, patients, voters, decision makers, journalists and activists etc. The drivers are primarily investigative multipliers, authors of blogs and opinion leaders in networks. Digital intelligence describes the search for early signals, patterns and trends in digital communication. By including and analyzing quantitative and qualitative insights, companies can seize opportunities and avoid risks. Topics and target groups are identified from their profiles, problems, positions, statements and decision-making processes, and followed over time. Sustainable factors for success include the development of dialog with relevant multipliers as well as suitably designed internal processes and networks.

From being locked down facilities with stable and regular workload needs they are now dealing with an explosion in demand for compute, storage and networking power as well as the impact of virtualisation and cloud computing. Many of the organisations are facing increased pressure cut datacentre costs in order to invest elsewhere. But is this a realistic expectation? As IT organisations face a wealth of technologies and approaches is it time to take a different approach to optimisation? What are the latest developments that will enable this objective to be met, whist managing the vast explosion in capacity requirement? Can solutions such as Virtualisation really drive out cost and increase flexibility and agility? At IDC’s Evolution of the Datacentre conference where leading experts will share their advice about how to: •Beyond the physical infrastructure - Improving reliability, flexibility and performance of the datacentre •Consolidate - Virtualise - Cloud: Navigating the wealth of technologies to optimise your datacentre •Dealing with datacentres at capacity: On-premise modernisation v external services LOCATION:United Kingdom URL:http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/events/evolution-of-the-datacentre-consolidation-virtualisation-and-cloud-78749 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20120529 DTEND:20120530 DTSTAMP:20130619T151852 CREATED:20120518T165459 LAST-MODIFIED:20120518T165459 UID:78732@http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk SUMMARY:Breakfast Debate:"Cloud Computing: An IT Revolution, or a Rebranding of Old Ideas with a New Price Tag?" DESCRIPTION:This event requires registration: http://www.4cassociates.com/thought-leaders/upcoming-events.aspx Be part of this debate - come and have a working breakfast with 4C and smell the coffee! The debate will take place on Tuesday the 15th May between 8.30am - 9.30am, on the 32nd floor of the iconic Paramount Centre Point. Breakfast will be provided. About the speakers: Rob Lees, Managing Partner at 4C, has managed many IT departments and developments over the years, and proposes that there is nothing new under the sun. Cloud simply rehashes the same old techniques, good and more importantly bad, and gives them a gloss they don't deserve. Worse, by marketing the cloud, IT vendors increase costs and reduce the value available from information systems. Andy Langley has delivered leading-edge IT solutions to many corporate clients in the Telecoms, Media and FMCG industries. He will argue that cloud and associated technologies provide rapidly-deployable, customer-intimate, value-driven and above all cheap, reliable and useful information systems. This event is one of a series of debates which 4C will be hosting on a monthly basis. Future debate topics include E-Auctions on Tuesday 19th of June and Procurement Savings on Tuesday 17th July.

And they are looking to build strategic partnerships with a more visionary, business aligned and service orientated IT function to realise these aspirations. Many of you reading this will work for organisations that have already made their first forays onto the cloud. It’s likely that these initiatives will have been IT led. You’ve doubtless welcomed good cost savings from these deployments but can you honestly say that your organisation has exploited the potential of cloud computing for value creation, innovation and competitive advantage? So whether you are on the cloud, in the process of moving data or applications to the cloud, or just considering a move to the cloud, how do you go about exploiting the full promise of the cloud? Attend the 11th Cloud Circle Forum on 5 July and you will discuss debate and explore the following key issues with peers and experts: • What are the areas of cloud computing that the business must take ownership of to realise value creation, innovation and competitive advantage? • What are savvy business leaders doing differently to realise success in their cloud initiatives? • Why whoever harnesses the power of the cloud is uniquely placed to impact on the business • How can you protect yourself and your organisation from cloud punishment and liability? • Why its so important to re-position cloud computing as a new way of doing things rather than a technology initiative • How IT personnel must evolve to meet the challenges of becoming a more value add, service orientated function • How should the business and IT work together to realise success? Attendees include over 120 end-user practitioners from the UK, all pre-qualified to a level of seniority and actively involved in cloud computing across all vertical markets.

The good news is that new technologies now exist for organisations to process huge amounts of information at much lower cost. In addition business leaders are now able to analyse and uncover new patterns and extract insight about their customers or products, in a way they couldn’t do before, allowing them to realise significant competitive advantage. However the journey to insight is fraught with risk, and business leaders must carefully evaluate all the options if they are to realise the value of their big data. Our 2nd Big Data Insight Group Forum on 19 June at Victoria Park Plaza Hotel has been independently developed to enable you to overcome the following questions; • What is big data and how do I know if I have big data? • What are the ways in which my organisation can benefit from big data? • How do I get a big data initiative approved in this economic environment? • How do I get started? • What is the best way to go about analysing my big data? • Do I have the right skills and resources to exploit the value of my big data? • How do I put the new information to work in product development? • What are the key privacy and security issues I need to consider? • How do I make sure I realise the value of my big data? Attendees include over 150 end-user practitioners from the UK, all pre-qualified to a level of seniority and actively involved in big data and analytics across all vertical markets.

DESCRIPTION:This event requires registration: http://www.4cassociates.com/thought-leaders/upcoming-events.aspx Be part of this debate - come and have a working breakfast with 4C and smell the coffee! The debate will take place on Tuesday the 15th May between 8.30am - 9.30am, on the 32nd floor of the iconic Paramount Centre Point. Breakfast will be provided. About the speakers: Rob Lees, Managing Partner at 4C, has managed many IT departments and developments over the years, and proposes that there is nothing new under the sun. Cloud simply rehashes the same old techniques, good and more importantly bad, and gives them a gloss they don't deserve. Worse, by marketing the cloud, IT vendors increase costs and reduce the value available from information systems. Andy Langley has delivered leading-edge IT solutions to many corporate clients in the Telecoms, Media and FMCG industries. He will argue that cloud and associated technologies provide rapidly-deployable, customer-intimate, value-driven and above all cheap, reliable and useful information systems. This event is one of a series of debates which 4C will be hosting on a monthly basis. Future debate topics include E-Auctions on Tuesday 19th of June and Procurement Savings on Tuesday 17th July.

A continuous battle between faulty hardware, poorly written software, unreliable connectivity and random acts of nature. With the emergence of cloud computing we are now for the first time realizing computing environment where we are able to focus less on keeping our applications up and more on making them run more efficiently and effectively. The problem with traditional tape backup solutions is the hardware downtime might be small, but the time to restore from a tape backup might be considerably longer. A minor failure could cause a cascading series of software failures causing further application outage of hours or even days for those who depended on the availability of the given solution. The problem with most disaster recovery plans is the recovery is reactive, it is what happens after a disaster has already harmed your business. Cloud significantly changes the equation changing the problem from a reactionary to a preventative one. To be competitive in today's always connected, always available world,you must reinvent the fundamental way you look at of disaster recovery. A major benefits to using cloud computing is that you can make these types of failover assumptions well before they happen using an emerging global toolset of cloud components. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when, when you take into consideration that application components will fail then you can build an application that greatly reduces your costs and more importantly avoids the pit falls of traditional DR. Just to learn more about the this exciting new world of cloud based backup.

IS THE VALUE PROPOSITION OF YOUR BUSINESS MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS? ARE THE KNOWLEDGE, KNOW-HOW AND BRIGHT IDEAS OF YOUR EMPLOYEES VISIBLE, DISCOVERABLE AND REWARDABLE? These are simple and yet challenging questions, but few business leaders can answer them with any real conviction or precision. Organizations are continuously looking for new ways to improve the effectiveness of those employees whose jobs consist of deep interaction, constant collaboration and complex decision-making, and yet the focus always tends to be on process rather than people. Raising the productivity of these individuals, which constitute a large and growing slice of the corporate salary bill, presents a major pportunity for differentiation in Ovum’s view, and so organizations must have clear and focused collaboration strategies if they are to gain any advantage in the market. Driven by changing business needs and global economic factors, organizations are starting to do things differently. Speed, agility, mobility, reuse and innovation are the transformative factors forcing organizations to push aside old technologies and communication models to make way for new, more social-oriented, ways of working. But of the organizations that are trying to move, many are struggling to keep pace with the consumerization and mobilization of collaboration technologies, and not only because of their tussle with the “net-generation.” Against a backdrop of shrinking IT budgets and increased expectancy, business and IT managers are eyeing up the opportunities afforded by cloud-based, community-oriented collaboration offerings and alternative delivery models for existing information management and collaboration solutions. To be successful, organizations must continually optimize human business processes and find new ways to add value while reducing cost. Ovum believes that the mobile, social and cloud technology of Enterprise 2.0 can offer organizations a real opportunity to do things differently, and this strategy briefing will highlight this through a series of Ovum keynotes, vendor presentations and case studies.

Across the industry we are currently seeing forward thinking companies literally changing the face of roaming. With Vodafone’s announcement that it is effectively dropping roaming charges for „Passport‟ customers and Zain's hugely innovative „One Network‟ initiative, the roaming market is becoming a whole new game. This two-day event will provide a unique learning and networking opportunity for roaming professionals looking to improve roaming revenues through innovative strategies. The EU regulation changes on roaming will have potentially gargantuan impacts on traditional operator and operator/MVNO relationships. This event-which enjoys its 20th anniversary year in 2012 – is THE discussion place for roaming business development, strategy and opportunity. We celebrate by adding further networking and social events to our usual thought-leadership sessions.

Messaging is truly significant still and smart devices are driving A2P and M2M messaging revenues. Preventing spam and „through the back-door‟ messaging is key to retaining the value and revenue generating capacity of messaging for operators. This will be the key theme of the event – how to ensure the value and revenue of messaging, preventing costs to the operator of third-party illicit messaging traffic and monetising innovative new messaging services. The event will be focused on global operator case studies, including from important growth markets such as India and Africa (MTN etc).

Here is insight into some of what we have planned: Transforming Customer Experience in the New Marketplace The New Marketplace - dominated by the Internet, a proliferation of intelligent mobile devices and customers weary of being forced to compromise - requires companies to rethink the way they connect with consumers. It requires a new focus on Connection and Content and a review of the enemies of engagement, that many of us have forgotten. Kevin Panozza will explore new customer expectations and the need for change and how low levels of engagement and poor corporate cultures lead to poor customer experience. He will discuss how customer encounters – people interacting - are fundamental to commerce and if a business wants to become and remain successful acquiring and retaining customers it must be ruthless in judging the quality of its own customer encounters. The only benchmark is excellence. The ideas developed Kevin Panozza are based not on engagement theories but on the experienced gained over 15 years with SalesForce - Australia's most successful outsource contact centre business, dealing with customers of 60 iconic clients, placed top 10 in Hewitt' Best Employer list of companies to work for in Australia and New Zealand over a period of 10 years and subsequently winning 3 successive Hewitt Awards in Australia and New Zealand, and came in Top 3 Best Employers in the Asia Pacific region.

Target Audience: If you are a network manager, a network supervisor and your job is network security, your job depends on keeping the bad guys out; this is the one-day event for you. What will happen on the day? The first part of the day will include presentations from people who have investigated network forensic incidents as part of their jobs – not sample scenarios, theoretical problems or rumours – but real situations that these people have tackled first hand.  The second part of the event will use a demonstration network to simulate hacking attacks of the types described earlier in the day.  You will see how these attacks can be investigated and analysed. Open Source software tools will be used and demonstrated to capture and replay incidents, filter and analyse network traffic, and create a time-line of information on a compromised system. Of course, nobody would dare to attack your network but just in case, this event is all about being forewarned and forearmed. Who is leading the day?: Alan Woodroffe is a long serving ISSG Committee member, a Fellow of the BCS, a Chartered Engineer and a SANS GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (SANS GCIA).

In this class, we provide students a solid foundation to understand the audit process.” The six-day course also shows how to identify and evaluate security safeguards, and create a toolbox of automated technical auditing tools.   Secure Europe 2012 will feature the widest range of courses ever offered at the annual event. Popular courses like Security 401: SANS Security Essentials Bootcamp and Security 504: Hacker Techniques, Exploits & Incident Handling are complimented by courses on Ethical Hacking and Network Penetration Testing.   More information on SANS Secure Europe 2012 can be found here: http://www.sans.org/secure-amsterdam-2012   About SANS. (www.sans.org)   Established in 1989 as a cooperative research and education organisation. Its programs reach more than 400,000 security professionals, auditors, system administrators, and network administrators who share the lessons they are learning and jointly find solutions to the challenges they face.

The workshop is delivered in participative style with many short interactive exercises based on real-world situations. Agile evangelists sometimes get bogged down in theory, and tend to over-complicate; in this workshop, the emphasis is very much on ‘what works’. The workshop is relevant to new-to-projects business analysts; to experienced project teams members moving into business analysis from a development or test background; and to experienced business analysts coming from a ‘structured methods’ background, with ISEB, Prince2 or similar training / practical experience. By the end of this workshop delegates will be able formulate their own answers to the following frequently-asked questions: What type of project is an agile approach suited to? How do I prepare a Business Case for an agile project, where the requirements are not defined ‘up front’? What is the role of a business analyst on an agile project? Does it overlap with developer? test analyst? user? How is requirements gathering different? Do I still need to produce a functional specification? How do we know when we are finished? What about getting ‘sign off’? How can we estimate accurately when requirement are evolving? What are the common issues and risks I will need to deal with?

The interest in evaluating or deploying Hadoop and other MapReduce-based technologies is higher than ever. One of the key driving factors has been the potential to allow an organization to extract greater value from the massive volume of unstructured or semi-structured data such as log, XML, binaries, documents, industry standards and other non-relational data. Ad-hoc, custom coding approach in managing these types of data is not only inefficient but also is costly and risky as deployment expands. There is a better alternative – adopting an enterprise approach that combines the unique strengths of technology options. With a purpose-built, enterprise-grade data management infrastructure, your organization can quickly perform high-volume analytics, sentiment analysis and other advanced analytics to uncover new patterns and adjust to changing business conditions. Join Big Data pioneers Tasso Argyros - AsterData/Teradata, Amr Awadallah - Cloudera and Ronen Schwartz - Informatica to learn: • Why you need a new approach to manage unstructured, complex data • How you can take advantage of the power of MapReduce • Pitfalls to watch out for when you are architecting for optimum data flows across Big Data technologies • Use cases and benefits you can expect for the combination of technologies LOCATION: URL:http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/events/informatca-big-data-tuesdays-5-part-webinar-series-extract-value-from-unstructured-data-with-mapreduce-64886 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART: DTEND: DTSTAMP:20130619T151853 CREATED:20120305T180234 LAST-MODIFIED:20120305T180234 UID:64881@http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk SUMMARY:Business Intelligence for Financial Services DESCRIPTION:This event requires registration: http://www.thorogood.com/Seminars/UK+Events.htm A key lesson emerging from the recent turmoil in Financial Services (FS) is the importance of information – the need for organisations to understand exposure to products, customers and external influences.

Advances in smartphones take-up; new technologies such as SIRI; m-commerce tools; HTML5 and Google's growing presence all represent marvellous marketing opportunities around the device we are all more and more reliant on. And the Olympics can help to showcase many of these too.

Two panels at this full morning event will discuss mobile payments, consumers' demands, mobile revenue, location-based targeting, NFC, advertising and promotional scope, operators and operating systems. Mobile will impact many media decisions this year. Stay informed and join the debate. Tickets Tickets cost just £185 plus buy 3, only pay for 2!

Speaker line-up includes international experts from NATO, Facebook, Google, ENISA, JPCERT, Malaysian CERT, and Brazilian Federal Policy among others The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) is holding its 24th Annual Conference this June (17th – 22nd) on one of the most fortified islands in the Mediterranean, Malta. Reflecting FIRST’s mission for global cooperation, the five-day conference will bring together leading experts and security professionals from around the world to share best practice and the latest thinking on this year’s theme; Security is not an island. The field of information security is a large mosaic of technical, procedural and physical controls that seeks to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. Security, however, is not an island. It must co-exist and involves collaboration with application developers, cloud computing environments and mobile platforms, not to mention regulatory compliance and law enforcement needs. The 24th Annual FIRST Conference seeks to bridge the gap by focusing on the practical aspects of security and incident response, in the face of a growing adoption of cloud computing and other distributed architectures. FIRST is a non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing together computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) from over 250 corporations, government bodies, universities and other institutions from across the globe. Confirmed speakers at this year’s conference include security experts from leading global organisations, such as Facebook, Deutsche Telekom, Microsoft, Google and Symantec.

The inability to properly secure the Internet, computer networks, protecting the Internet against emerging threats and vulnerabilities, and sustaining privacy and trust has been a key focus of research. The WorldCIS aims to provide a highly professional and comparative academic research forum that promotes collaborative excellence between academia and industry. On the ubiquitous networking environments, information is explosively used for various kinds of purposes. From a service perspective, a number of context or ambient aware services are envisaged for "ubiquitous networking" but based on the context security remains an issue.

Employees are sneaking powerful smartphones in through the organisational back-door and IT departments are trying to catch-up; the sea change from locked-down, bolted-to-the-desk computers to app-filled, hand-held devices is immense. Get consumerisation right and the opportunities are extensive. Get it wrong and the implications could be disastrous.   Summary: Consumerisation cuts across the whole IT environment. Crucial decisions need to be made, and so The Corporate IT Forum is organising a Consumerisation of IT Summit to explore how the high street consumer is leading the enterprise and what you can do to exploit it. Representing the peak of industry knowledge, experience and best practice, the Summit will balance real-world user experience with supplier expertise. Designed to inspire ideas, provoke discussion and prompt action, the Summit will give you relevant, practical and up-to-date information on this fast-moving subject.

In reality it is a process that if used correctly adds real value to the business, and supports all of the other service management processes. To get there, there is a need to invest both time and resource – the very things that problem managers have little of. Another issue is that problem management requires a combination of skills and approaches which are often lacking in many organisations. In addition, organisations get used to implementing permanent workarounds, ignoring the obvious benefits to both the business and ICT of investigating the source and eliminating the problem for good with a permanent change. “This seminar is targeted at problem managers who want to improve their approach and understanding of problem management by adopting a more proactive focus in order to deliver more successful outcomes” Key learning outcomes of this seminar include: • Understand what problem management is really all about • Learn how to achieve value and reduce costs using problem management • Learn how to make time for problem management • Understand the key interfaces between the Incident, problem and change management processes • Learn what problem solving approaches are available • Learn what ITSM tools and features may help you resolve your problems faster • Learn why improved communication can be better than a quick fix to improve customer satisfaction • Discover the skill profile of an effective problem manager • Learn the benefits and reasons of closing the loop on the lifecycle of a reported incident, the identified problem, the known error/workaround and the change or release to fix the problem permanently.

The opportunity to enhance flexibility and better manage costs and support requirements is encouraging many organisations to look to the cloud as a solution to their service delivery requirements. Positive feedback from early adopters highlights fast deployment, ease of use, and responsiveness to fluctuating business usage levels. Many potential Cloud customers remain concerned about the effective transition of services and processes, the upholding and prioritisation of service levels, and are wary of the possible risks, from the history and financial risk of who is offering it, to on-going client concerns about where data is being held. What are the current positions and experiences of Forum member organisations? Objectives: To share experiences of transitioning services to Cloud and define best practice in managing this transition. Who should attend: Architects, Analysts, Infrastructure and Service Management professionals currently assessing or progressing uptake of cloud-based service delivery. Agenda: The final agenda will be developed through consultation amongst delegates - provisional discussion areas include: - New models: service levels, response times, data access - Transitioning: processes, preparations, execution - Assurance & Security: responsibilities and auditability - Exit Strategies This event requires registration: http://www.corporateitforum.com/activities-and-events/details/899-managing-cloud-based-service-delivery?src=linkedinevent LOCATION:2 Royal Mint Ct, Tower Hill, London, United Kingdom, EC3N URL:http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/events/corporate-it-forum-workshop-managing-the-transition-to-cloud-based-service-delivery-50275 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20111213T000000 DTEND:20111213T230000 DTSTAMP:20130619T151854 CREATED:20111213T131308 LAST-MODIFIED:20111219T220928 UID:49458@http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk SUMMARY:ISSA-UK Microsoft Security Training Day DESCRIPTION:ISSA-UK and Microsoft have arranged a Microsoft Security Training Day on Tuesday December 13th, 2011.

But corporates need to provide a unified approach delivering the same service to users regardless of their location, or face losing control of collaboration. Identifying the right technologies to provide a joined up, cost effective approach to collaboration is a challenge. The solution must be fit for purpose. How do you identify the right solution for your organisation? How do you manage the cultural impact? How do you ensure successful implementation, control and governance of the solutions in order to deliver ongoing value? There are numerous approaches to knowledge sharing - bringing together information and employees. Join this workshop with corporate IT peers to discuss which are the most effective, quick to implement and successful. To elicit best practice in selecting and implementing a fit for purpose solution. Who should attend: Senior IT strategists and technical professionals responsible for and working with proposed, current or recent collaboration projects. The final agenda will be developed through consultation amongst delegates - provisional discussion areas are: - Defining Collaboration - Collaboration tools - Videoconferencing / Telepresence - New Technologies / Mobile Collaboration / Unified Communications - Collaboration and Culture - Control, Governance & Security LOCATION:London, United Kingdom, W1W 6 URL:http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/events/corporate-it-forum-workshop-collaboration-knowledge-sharing-usage-49462 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20111130 DTEND:20111202 DTSTAMP:20130619T151854 CREATED:20111118T131639 LAST-MODIFIED:20111219T111033 UID:46436@http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk SUMMARY:Datacenter Dynamics Converged DESCRIPTION: DatacenterDynamnicsConverged is the UK’s largest data centre conference.

There is, as we speak, a new global conflict raging. This war, at its heart, involves no expensive fighter jets or massed tank battles, nor D-Day style landings breaching international borders. You may be hard pushed to find detailed descriptions of the battles being won and lost daily in the media and the line between victory and defeat are blurred, at best. The battlefield in question is cyberspace: its soldiers - binary ones and zeros Cyber Security, which featured highly in 2010’s Strategic Security and Defence Review, has become a high profile strategic challenge for the world, as details of its strategies, weapons and possibilities slowly become clear. The IET invites you to join us on 11 July 2011 for a day exploring the shadowy world of cyber security and cyber war. Seminar - Pro active cyber defence: tools and techniques for protecting national critical infrastructure Pro active cyber defence – aimed at those outside the military A daytime seminar which examines cyber security issues for the benefit of those outside the military and wish to be kept up to date in this fast moving arena. * What can your organisation do to prevent cyber intrusion and cyber crime? * What specific risks does your company face? * How can your organisation minimise the risk of insider enabled cyber threats? * How have different industries worked to tackle cyber threats? This seminar is aimed at * Owners of critical national infrastructure IT systems * Security head of corporate and industrial organisations * Those new to this area * Those looking to move their careers into this growth sphere Our aim is to provide IET members with an accessible, informative, technical and practical exploration of cyber security and its implications - in plain English. Lecture - ‘The Challenges, Threats and Opportunities of Cyber in the Modern World’ We are also pleased to complement this seminar with a free to attend lecture which will provide delegates with a bigger picture view onto the challenge facing UK plc. Themes: * History of cyber warfare * Actions by state and non-state actors * Applying cyber power – through soft, non kinetic actions and as part of the ‘fifth battle space’ Speakers: * Wing Commander Rich Palk Head of Defensive Information Operations, Ministry of Defence * Lt Colonel Ian Buchanan Cyber & Influence S&T Centre, Ministry of Defence LOCATION:2 Savoy Place, London, United Kingdom, WC2R 0BL URL:http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/events/iet-defence-lecture-seminar-2011-two-events-on-cyber-security-for-engineers-29343 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20110405 DTEND:20110406 DTSTAMP:20130619T151854 CREATED:20110516T121117 LAST-MODIFIED:20110516T121319 UID:29337@http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk SUMMARY:IET Women's Network - Bridging the gap DESCRIPTION:The areas covered in this module are as follows: Bridging the gap: career/family balance, understanding norms of behaviour, women in technical/male dominated fields, gender based criteria for success, assertiveness, addressing challenges, making your mark.

Body area networks (BANs) is also now well established as a domain, within the broader context of personal communications. Understanding the way that electromagnetic wave flow around the body is very demanding, as is the design of good antennas for transmission and reception. In addition, knowledge of the performance of channels between BANs and the likely interference that BANs will both experience and create is also crucial for rapid and reliable uptake. This seminar is the third in the series of already successful events, and as the number of groups working in this area expands, promises to be another well supported IET meeting.

It addresses the gulf between the comfortable models of graph theory, statistics and suchlike and the harsh realities of real-world data networks. Through these case studies, it becomes evident that network techniques, algorithms, etc. at large in the internet bear little resemblance to their counterparts in the textbooks so the question is posed (and partially answered) as to whether the original theory is really of any use.
