A short introduction to the agenda and speakers of the day.

In a time marked by increasing geopolitical uncertainty and growing digital dependency, Denmark and Europe face a strategic choice: Should we be digital consumers - or digital decision-makers? With digitalization as one of the key drivers of competitiveness, innovation, and security, the need for digital sovereignty and more resilient IT infrastructure is more important than ever.

This presentation focuses on how the current global situation is impacting the strategies and adaptability of Danish businesses. Are Danish organizations agile enough to navigate a new world order? How do we balance global cooperation with the need for European technological independence?

This session will introduce IBM's Hybrid by Design framework.

The 5 key priorities underpinning the success of “Business Cloud Masters”:

1. Drive product-centric mindset to enable business priorities
2. Build international architecture to accelerate and scale business competences
3. Create consistent development and operational experience across platforms
4. Empower product teams to exploit hybrid capabilities
5. Harness the power of all data and scale gen AI deployment

Leading up to the three transformation Areas: product-led by design, integration by design and technology by design, which we will exemplify through client cases in the next session.

In this session we will discuss the architectural control points that will enable you to answer the following questions:

• How do I distinguish between commodity IT and Core IT?
• What, and how fast can I move from one cloud to another?
• Which leavers do I have to control my IT cost?
• Do I have the right data in the right quality to build the right models to support my business?
• How do I seamlessly integrate existing systems with upcoming IT services across multiple clouds and service providers?
• How do I provide personalized services to employees, partners and customers in a cost-efficient way?
• How do I efficiently manage my IT services and keep them working while I modernize and transform across multiple clouds?
• How do I manage the threat from potential perpetrators while protecting the sovereignty of my data?
