the software defined enterprise - innovating and disrupting it in business
DESCRIPTION
It’s time to ride the software wave – for too long IT organisations have been hamstrung and spread thin by having to manage the infrastructure and applications, rather being able to focus on delivering the benefits that the business demands. During this presentation, Brett Looney explores why we (as IT professionals) should be thinking about driving everything we do with software innovation; how that relates to the cloud (and why Brett hates that word); and what the path forward is. Presented by Brett Looney (Head of Innovation - Amcom) at the WA IT Leaders Summit 2014 (http://www.biaust.com.au/wa-it-summit/), and also at the AWS Summit 2014 Perth (http://aws.amazon.com/aws-summit-2014/perth/).TRANSCRIPT

So the IT department should
really be about delivering business
solutions... Not infrastructure

You need to plan your software architecture
And how it will interact with the underlying infrastructure
Architecture

The “cloud” can help
Using the cloud will make no difference if you don’t change
your IT processes
25
But if you’re
re-engineering architecture and process
Then using cloud-based
infrastructure is the
answer
