IDC Belgium Infrastructure The digital future is built on Cloud

Moving to the cloud isn't straightforward for industries that have responsibilities for their customers data, especially regulated industries that are held to higher standards for maintaining privacy and integrity of data. As data compounds in modern economies, so does security and privacy expectations among enterprises, regulators and consumers. Learn how Proximus navigated the challenges of compliance, privacy and integrity with their cloud migration.

We are living in a do-anything-from-anywhere economy enabled by an exponentially expanding data ecosystem. It’s estimated 65% of Global GDP will be digital by end of 2022. This influx of data presents both opportunities and challenges. After all, success in our digital present and future relies on our ability to secure and maintain increasingly complex IT systems. Here I’ll examine both near-term and long-term predictions that address the way the IT industry will deliver the platforms and capabilities to harness this data to transform our experiences at work, home and in the classroom.

We don’t see the cloud as a destination, it’s an enabler to maximize operational efficiency. No matter where your data resides, it’s all about the required know-how to optimize the use of your applications and data. It’s a cloud journey rather than a destination. It means choosing the right mixture of public cloud, private cloud and on-premises infrastructure that best serves your organization's IT needs.

People, cost, security, sustainability and energy consumption are top of the agenda for the IT Manager of today. As the digital transformation train continues at a furious pace, it is therefore that visibility of your IT environment plays a vital role in making the right decisions for your cloud journey.

Interested in seeing this all come together, so that you can make the right decision for your organization and save on investments, number of FTE, electricity consumption whilst being faster to deploy capacity to your business customers? Then listen to Luc Costers, regional leader at Nutanix during this IDC event in Belgium.

Being a chemical manufacturing company, allnex has always been fundamentally data-driven in optimizing its operations. Traditionally this was done based on an ERP backbone integrating the global supply chain and financial processes. Manufacturing operations typically were optimized on a plant-level. Trends of digitalization in the chemical industry are opening up new avenues for exploiting data with potentially ground-breaking value-opportunities. While applying new (cloud-)technologies will be at the heart of this transformation, it won’t be successful without a matching effort on the organizational and process-level. The presentation will share the ambition of allnex in this context and the learnings of its journey up to now.

For organization who are used to work with traditional infrastructure, adopting the cloud is often more a challenge than a desire and can feel overwhelming at the same time. Nevertheless, migrating or integrating with the cloud, to extend or replace an organization's on-prem infrastructure, is not only cost-effective but dramatically increases elasticity, resiliency and scalability. To create a secure environment for both internal-facing and external-facing interfaces, and to optimally manage cloud-based resources in the future, a number of security controls and best practices can be applied. 

Learn more about how to approach a cloud migration and which best practices are a must-have for every organization.

How do you adopt Zero Trust in its simplest form? A Zero Trust architecture should be seen as an enabler to reduce cost and complexity. There are different approaches to Zero Trust, but the key principles should be reducing the attack surface and ensuring you protect what really matters.
