ISG Keynote: The Digital Journey — Keys to Success Bill McNee, Partner, ISG Research When enterprises embark on the digital journey, they have the opportunity to fundamentally rethink the customer experience, create new digital or hybrid products and services and develop agile and responsive supply chains and business models.

Driving the Digital Transformation: ISG Executive Insights Steve Hall, Partner, ISG Digital Advisory Services By the end of 2017, enterprises will need to think of Digital Business not as a separate IT initiative but as a broad vision for the entire enterprise. This will require a complete redesign of the enterprise IT operating model. Enterprises will extract business value through their digital fabric, by connecting with customers, suppliers, partners and employees in a whole new way. In this three-part session, we will discuss insights from an ISG Analyst, hear from industry leaders driving their own digital transformation and explore the facts of a real-world case study. |

| Automation and Digital Labor: ISG Executive Insights Stanton Jones, Director & Principal Analyst, ISG Automation and AI are everywhere. It's hard not to encounter an opinion piece about how "digital labor" will fundamentally change the nature of knowledge work. What's missing in this conversation is precisely which roles enterprise leaders need to automate, and what they are already automating today. In this session, we'll examine recent research into how automation is changing enterprise buyer plans, and how this, in turn, is affecting the IT and business services markets. We also will discuss how you can get ahead by applying some of the best practices learned from early adopters.

Jan Erik Aase, Director and Principal Analyst, ISG Digital Workplace is the defining model of end-user computing in the present cloud and mobile era, the same way desktop was some years ago. The digital wave has hit enterprises like a tsunami. Several buyer archetypes have evolved depending on the overall corporate goals, for example improving employee efficiency or the end-user experience, or enhanced business integration . Each archtype has a different set of requirements when it comes to their preferred work space tools, devices and technologies. This session will characterize the different buyer archetypes and reveal our picks for the best partnerships. |

DevOps, Big Data and IoT are not just buzzwords.
