Adm01. Your Mail Is in the Cloud. What About Your Apps?

Tuesday, May 9 | 11:30 - 12:30 | A. Okapi 3

You've moved hundreds (or thousands!) of users to the cloud for IBM Verse mail, but what about the hundreds (or thousands!) of IBM Domino applications you're running in-house? How many servers could you retire with those apps running in the cloud? In this session, you'll walk through the entire application migration process with two experts, from the provider-selection process to the final data moves and application maintenance cycle. You'll learn how to identify potential difficulties with specific applications, estimate time requirements, and use specific tools to make your migration easier; you'll also see real-world examples from among your peers who have already made the move. Be ready when the boss asks, "What about our apps?"

Adm04. Setting Up a Hybrid Domino Environment to Ease your Way to the Cloud

Monday, May 8 | 11:45 - 12:30 | A. Okapi 3

Are you looking at Cloud options and wondering how and if you can get there from where you are? If you have Domino on premises and are considering Cloud then a good option is a hybrid architecture which maintains all your on premises configuration managed by your own administrators but adds Cloud client access managed by IBM. We will look at how simple it is to create this hybrid solution using Domino passthru servers and review how things like user and directory maintenance, client access and mail routing will then work. From Domino Admin to Domino Hybrid Admin in a few simple steps.

Adm05. Get plugged!

Tuesday, May 9 | 16:00 - 16:45 | A. Okapi 3

Discover the power of plugins that can be used for IBM Connections. In my company these are heavily used, and they have been the key factor in getting users to adapting Connections, since it makes it much faster for them to share documents and emails, and increase collaboration.
Learn how administrators can skin and brand the plugins to fit with their company logo, colors and templates. A similar presentation was given by Hogne last year, but after creating a complete manual for the IBM Notes plugins and posted it online, a lot of people who missed it have asked if he can give it again.

Adm12. Cut your Cloud in pieces! Partitioning explained

Monday, May 8 | 16:25 - 16:45 | A. Okapi 3

Administration on the cloud has always been a critical task in terms of security and the scale of users to manage. An Administrator has always had to control the entire organization. A new Connections Cloud feature is Partitioning. This would decentralize administration of users, by partitioning an organization into groups of users and have a separate administrator for each partition. This session will take you into the details of Departmental Admin, and give you an Administrator's view of an organization and how we can 'Departmentalize' your organization for better and more efficient manageability. Not to be missed!

Ana02. Making Sense of Data Analytics: Work Smarter, not Necessarily Harder 

Tuesday, May 9 | 11:30 - 12:30 | E. Gorilla 5

Whether you are in HR, Sales, IT, Security, Marketing and Communications or Business Transformation, you know that one of today’s major business problems is that one of Employee Engagement, or, to be more precise, of employee disengagement. When only 13% of the global workforce is engaged at work (Cf. Gallup 2013 - https://hbr.org/2013/10/map-the-sad-state-of-global-workplace-engagement), one has got to question whether we have got a rather catastrophic business problem, or an unprecedented business opportunity to transform the way we collaborate and get work done.
What if we could use data analytics to make sense of what’s happening around us? To seek out the different business opportunities that may be laying around out there dormant in order to influence a shift of behaviours on how employees get work done more effectively by enabling a more open, public and transparent work environment where open knowledge sharing, cooperation, coopetition and collaboration would help transform our work culture(s).
What if each life of business embarks on a journey to identify new business opportunities, new markets, by making sense of data analytics to help us work smarter, not necessarily harder? Whether it’s data coming out of traditional tools like email and applications, or whether it’s data coming out of your own Enterprise Social Networking platform (i.e. IBM Connections), there is always an opportunity to seek > sense > share what we know, and use, to eventually transform the way we work.
What if you could make use of smart data analytics to influence the increase and further growth of the overall levels of employee engagement, talent retention, sales (by becoming a customer centric organisation), existing or new marketing goals as well as fine tuning more effectively your entire IT infrastructure. Would you also want to work smarter, not necessarily harder?
Come and join us then to find out how we could help you AND your business transform the way you work and interact with your customers using data analytics to inspire and influence smarter work!

Ana04. The Power To Believe

Monday, May 8 | 11:45 - 12:30 | E. Gorilla 5

The main differentiator for really successful companies today is data and the intelligence they draw from their data to make better and faster decisions.
Data is the new bacon!

We will discuss a number of examples from a variety of industries, with emphasis on real outcomes for business users from big data and dark data.

Ana05. The GDPR Challenge-Less Painful Compliancy!

Tuesday, May 9 | 09:00 - 10:00 | E. Gorilla 5

We know how stressed everyone is over being compliant with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in a few short months, so we designed a way to take some of the pain out of the process! We will demonstrate the tooling that goes into the iKnow GDPR solution.
- iKnow GDPR Console
- IBM Gardium
- IBM StoredIQ
- IBM InfoSphere Information Server
The GDPR applies to all companies worldwide that process personal data of European Union (EU) citizens. This means that ANY company that works with information relating to EU citizens will have to comply with the requirements of the GDPR, making it the first global data protection law.
- The GDPR widens the definition of personal data
- Obtaining valid consent to using personal information
- Data breach notification requirement
- The right to be forgotten
- Privacy by design

Ana12. Using Watson Work Services to to Power Collaborative Business Intelligence

Monday, May 8 | 16:25 - 16:45 | E. Gorilla 5

The basis of innovation is being able to build upon the work of others: collaborating. Yet Traditional BI ‘collaboration’ is too often one-to-many—e.g. emailing a spreadsheet or PDF—it’s like running a webinar where the participants are on mute. The key to collaborative BI is speed. Speed to a decision. Having better, more informed, fact-based conversations with the right people. Learn how to put business into your social business, by infusing the networks with meaningful analytics, personalized to your problem.

Dev01. From Then, to Now - A Speedy UX and Design Workshop for Programmers

Tuesday, May 9 | 11:30 - 12:30 | D. Gorilla 4

Most Notes applications were designed and coded simultaneously. The process was simple and straight-forward – but not always the best experience for your customers. Designing a modern, Web-based version of your legacy application requires careful planning, analysis and design to ensure success. So, what’s a one person, Notes developer to do when tackling the modernization of that old app, or developing something brand new for the Web?
Red Pill Now’s CEO, Peter Presnell and Creative/UX Director, Bob Kadrie want this to be the most valuable 60 minutes of your time during this year’s Engage. They’ll help you make your next application your best – without the need for a business analyst or designer. This rapid-fire session will begin with a quick step-by-step case study in modernizing a complex Notes application – from concept through deployment. Then, Bob and Peter will teach you how to plan, analyze, wireframe, and design a prototype of an application using simple, Web-based tools, and resources available to any programmer – on any budget and timetable.
