The voice of the customer and employee are both getting louder and easier to measure, which presents a golden opportunity for organizations looking to grow and differentiate in a crowded market landscape. But what's the best way to measure customer and employee experience? What are we even measuring for?  

Join Marlan Hardie, Chief Digital Officer of WWT's Global Service Provider organization, as he talks about innovations happening within the telco, media and gaming space, and how they can translate to other industries. Marlan also discusses the value of focusing on the employee and customer experience, and his recent recognition as a Modern Day Technology Leader at this year's BEYA STEM conference. 

The rapid adoption of distributed workforce models has created a gap between IT and security when it comes to endpoints. In fact, a recent Ponemon Institute survey found half of today's enterprise endpoints are vulnerable to attack while more than a quarter of organizations lack visibility into what is happening at their endpoints. How can we get out of this mess? 

Join WWT Executive Security Advisor John Aplin as he talks about the importance of taking a platform mentality when it comes to extended detection and response (XDR). John also discusses how XDR serves as a natural extension to EDR, helps draw the line between XDR marchitecture and reality, and identifies best practices he's seeing in the market today for moving toward an XDR approach.

 As the idea of a corporate metaverse continues to evolve, business and IT leaders are moving quickly to understand how to best enable and deliver it. But how? The metaverse is a complex web of developed and emerging technologies that must work seamlessly together to deliver an immersive digital experience that pleases the end user.  

Join WWT Principal Consultant Kyle Lindsey as he talks about the fundamental building blocks that comprise the metaverse and how IT leaders can begin developing a flexible technology framework that can deliver on objectives today and also meet the needs of tomorrow. Kyle also talks about practical metaverse use cases he's seeing in the market today and the impact those strategies are having on enterprise IT. 

Major changes in workplace dynamics are pushing enterprise networks to new frontiers, which is forcing leaders to think of SD-WAN as more than just plumbing. In today's hybrid landscape, SD-WAN is quickly turning into a platform IT leaders can use to onboard and offload new solutions and features that enable the business.  

Join WWT Networking Solutions Architect Ryan Makelky — a self-described SD-WAN sherpa — as he talks about how SD-WAN can serve as an ideal launchpad for larger architectural shifts, such as moving toward secure access service edge (SASE), secure service edge (SSE) and connecting to the public cloud. 

Wi-Fi 6E is ready for prime time, giving networking leaders even more options to handle bandwidth-intensive traffic. But increasingly, that traffic is coming from disparate places as hybrid work creates a new workforce dynamic that appears to be here to stay.  

Join Jennifer Huber, a WWT technical solutions architect specializing in mobility, as she discusses how leaders can embrace the changing wireless landscape and deliver an end-user experience that drives collaboration and productivity. Jennifer also talks about Wi-Fi 7 and how network operators should be thinking about the next generation of wireless, as well as how leaders can maneuver around today's supply chain headaches. 

As the world becomes increasingly digitized, businesses are looking for ways to take advantage of innovative technologies and improve their operations. One such technology is the metaverse. But what is the metaverse? Where is it? And, most importantly, what do businesses stand to gain?  

Join Dan Graham, a principal consultant in WWT's media, entertainment and gaming group, as he discusses advances made in establishing the metaverse and trends corporate leaders need to be paying closest attention to. Dan also talks about the various technologies needed to make the metaverse work along with practical first steps businesses can take now to start thinking about how the metaverse can work for your organization and how it can deliver immersive experiences that make an impact.

Today's threat landscape is broader than ever and cyberattacks are growing in volume and sophistication each and every day. In fact, hackers are launching new assaults at a clip of greater than one every minute of the day. Yet an alarming number of business leaders feel ill-prepared in the event a cyberattack hits their company. How can this be given the stakes involved?    

Join WWT Cyber Range Architect Brett Turner as he discusses what cyber threats pose the greatest risks to organizations this year and how companies can best address the expanding talent gap taking place in the cyber industry. Brett also talks about what it takes to become an ethical hacker and why dynamic, live-fire cyber exercises called Cyber Ranges could be your best bet to standing up to cyber criminals moving forward.

The relationship between AI and cloud is increasingly sybmiotic. Growing investment in cloud is driving faster adoption and spend on artificial intelligence (AI), while the majority of AI applications are developed in the cloud. AI can be used to automate complex tasks in cloud computing, optimize system performance, and improve user experience; while cloud computing provides the computing resources and infrastructure needed to train and deploy AI models at scale. 

Join Neil Anderson, who leads WWT's cloud and infrastructure practice, as he dives into the implications AI is having on cloud, and vice versa. Neil talks with detail about how AI is affecting cloud cost management and optimization, how IT leaders can secure use of AI in their cloud solutions, how high performance architectures needed to run AI will impact cloud strategies and common AI applications best suited for the cloud.  

Network operators can no longer afford to do things as they've always done them. Because of constant innovations and technology advancements, the days of like-for-like replacements of network equipment are getting fewer and farther between.

Join Christine Fierro, WWT's Practice Director for Edge and Core Solutions, as she talks about the evolving needs of the enterprise network and how leaders can embrace new technologies and solutions that will keep their networks robust and resilient. Christine also talks about the important role people play in this effort and how organizations can measure success.

Generative AI initiatives are taking flight across the world as organizations of all kinds explore new and innovative ways to put the disruptive technology to use. But has anyone stopped to think if their IT infrastructure is ready to meet the intense data demands required of advanced AI solutions?  

Join Derrick Monahan, WWT's data strategy and high-performance architecture practice manager, as he talks about the vital nature of high-performance architecture — the merger of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI and machine learning (ML) workstreams into one architectural framework with the core IT infrastructure components needed to unlock the seemingly unlimited world of possibilities made possible by AI. Derrick also talks about the role of data and data governance, real world use cases being used in today's business landscape and ways you can put all of it into action.
