Organizations that rushed to the cloud are quickly realizing the need to rethink, recalibrate and optimize their organizations' overarching cloud strategies — from identifying the need for underlying IT architectures, to establishing proper cloud governance and best practices.  

Join WWT's Neil Anderson, an AVP with our Global Solutions and Architecture team, as he details the next-generation of IT infrastructure that can meet the rapidly evolving needs of a cloud-centric organization. Neil also talks about how organizations can overcome cloud stall, think more strategically about multicloud, the role of data and what implications generative AI brings to the table. 

Companies spend millions of dollars on cybersecurity every year. And yet, threats still penetrate even the most sophisticated of cyber defenses. Why? Tools alone won't bolster your defenses. Driving a culture of cybersecurity is equally important, particularly as threat landscape continues to change on a day-to-day basis. 

Join WWT Vice President of Security Operations Mike McGlynn as he talks about how cybersecurity leaders can win a seat at the table to make sure security is integrated into companywide initiatives. Mike also talks about creative ways CISOs can make an impact, how they can pitch cyber on an executive and board level, and how they can start reducing tool bloat.

Manufacturing leaders today must prioritize the convergence of operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT) to become more agile, aware, connected, efficient, intelligent, safe and sustainable. But too often, OT and IT are siloed, disconnected or not speaking the same language. 

Join Tim Householder, a leading manufacturing advisor for WWT, as he discusses the need to interweave IT and OT team workstreams through common platforms, which are central to today's intelligent manufacturing and industrial IoT initiatives. Tim, who is deeply engaged with global manufacturing clients at both the business and technology level, will also deliver practical and actionable steps manufacturers can take today to bridge that gap by adopting a common understanding of business needs enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies.

Business leaders for the last few years have rushed to deploy the latest technology to better meet fluid customer demand. Many are now taking a closer look and realizing the need for unification of systems or platforms to drive real growth. But make no mistake: Despite the behind-the-scenes cleanup, the need to digitize the business with technologies like AI, digital twins and computer vision is as critical as ever.  

Join WWT Chief Digital Advisor Charlie Lawhorn as he talks about how organizations should balance the need to unify systems that create great customer and employee experiences, while still investing in innovative technologies that take those experiences to the next level. Charlie also talks about the role IT plays in digital transformation and why sometimes a parking cone or sticky note can do the trick.

Networks have grown in complexity and scale over the last several years. And as businesses continue to adopt more data-centric strategies, the need for a simpler and more optimized method of transmitting data is increasingly imperative. 

Join WWT's Mike DiVincenzo, one of the industry's foremost MPLS/Segment Routing experts, as he talks about the value of Segment Routing and its role in making the network more scalable and intelligent while improving capacity utilization, leading to lower cost and greater user satisfaction. 

The remarkable debut and adoption of ChatGPT has rapidly pushed generative AI front and center amongst business leaders. While disruptive use cases are being thrown out right and left, the utilization of this technology and the implications it will have on the business are still very much up for discussion.  

Join WWT Managing Director of AI and Machine Learning Tim Brooks as talks about the ways generative AI and large language models can impact your business right now and how you should be thinking about it over the next three to five years. Tim also talks about the practicality of training your own AI model and potential pitfalls of going all in blindly.

Rapid and substantial shifts in consumer habits — brought about mostly by a global pandemic — forced leaders to cobble together disjointed technologies to meet evolving customer needs. Today, these siloed back-end systems and scattered data points are preventing leaders from delivering a more seamless, intelligent and efficient experience for employees and customers. Enter: Unified commerce.   

Join WWT Chief Digital Advisor Charlie Lawhorn as he talks about the need for unified commerce ensures to connect customer-facing sales channels, critical data and supporting management systems through scalable infrastructure — all in the name of creating a great experience for customers and employees alike. Charlie also talks about the important distinction between omnichannel and unified commerce, and simple, actionable steps to putting unified commerce into action.

Data-driven organizations create more strategic, purposeful customer experiences that lead to higher customer engagement, increased loyalty and increased revenue. AI is a key component for gathering and analyzing data in real-time to make smart decisions quickly. However, many leaders struggle with unlocking the value of data and bringing AI into the mix. It shouldn't be this difficult. We know leaders want to become more data driven. And AI can act as a key accelerant.   

Join WWT Managing Director of AI and Machine Learning Tim Brooks as he answers that question plus discusses specific ways AI is being used to get the job done. Tim also outlines practical steps organizations can take now to become a company built around data as they shift toward making more data-informed decisions.

In today's cloud-first environment, data center infrastructure simply doesn't look like it used to. This is forcing IT leaders to act decisively on which IT infrastructure makes sense for their business needs — both now and in the future. But what does it mean to have an infrastructure built for tomorrow? Is it even achievable given the current economic landscape?  

Join WWT infrastructure expert Chris Weis as he discusses the important distinction between modernizing and future-proofing. Chris also talks key principles organizations must prioritize when considering making investments in their IT infrastructure and why sustainability is increasingly part of that conversation. 

As organizations continue to push critical workloads to the cloud, how do they know their valuable data will remain secure? Historically an afterthought, cloud security has become a non-negotiable component of successful cloud transformation. When done right, cloud security gives organizations the confidence to mature and scale cloud capabilities at the speed of their business. When done wrong, cloud security can leave organizations vulnerable and exposed to elevated levels of risk. 

Join WWT Senior Director of Cloud Security Kent Noyes as he talks about the fundamentals of a high-functioning cloud security program. During this episode, Kent identifies best practices he's seeing in the market and tackles the ever-evolving solution landscape, such as Cloud Security Posture Manager (CSPM), SaaS Security Posture Manager (SSPM), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM) and Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP).
