There’s a paradox in the cloud. Public cloud infrastructure has set the standard for increased agility and flexibility — but the cost and refactoring effort is under scrutiny and challenging business’ ability to take advantage of it.

In fact, managing cloud spend is the number-one challenge cited by business leaders in the 2023 Flexera State of the Cloud Report, with 82% of all organizations putting it at the top of the list, even surpassing security concerns (79%).

On top of that, cost management initiatives result in businesses leveraging multiple clouds driving increased complexity. As a result, leaders are taking a second look at their cloud strategies to ensure they can drive the best outcomes.

Join thought leaders from Nutanix as SPL discusses best practices to continue to innovate in a digital world, while making the most of your on-prem, managed and public cloud investments.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how to:

• Define the value and business outcomes driven by your cloud strategy
• Optimize spend and resources in a multicloud environment
• Refine overall cloud strategy (e.g., public vs private vs hybrid)
• Increase value realization from cloud investments
• Overcome cloud migration challenges

AI projects are highly diverse, not only in terms of the problems they address, but also in how assets are developed, packaged, deployed, and maintained.

The multitude of AI platforms support a wide range of use cases, but not all of them seamlessly integrate with software engineering practices and other operational systems.

As a result, multiple programs and processes often take shape in slightly different ways, making it challenging for AI and software engineering teams to maintain consistency and collaborate effectively. A distinguishing feature of high-performing organizations successfully leveraging AI is the strong partnership between AI and software engineering teams.

Join Anthony Mullen (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst  & Van L. Baker (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst to delve into the dynamics of this partnership that thrives on conversations revolving around shared objectives, goals, efficiencies, and growth in maturity.

Discussion Topics:

• Understand what a shared data pipeline looks like and how can you improve it
• Learn how software engineering and AI teams can share production duties
• Hear the AI skills software engineers require, and what software engineering skills are essential for AI engineers

How can you collect deep insights from training participants (and others) to support your surveys or other training evaluation data? Try focus groups!

Focus groups offer the opportunity to go deeper and add detail and variety to a dataset – much more than would be obtainable with surveys alone.

A focus group is essentially a group interview or small group discussion during which a moderator asks questions in an interactive group setting where participants are encouraged to talk with each other as well as with the moderator.

They offer a great way to gather in-depth information about participants’ thoughts, feelings, experiences or opinions on a specific topic.

Learn:

• How to set up and prepare for focus groups and what to expect before, during and after focus group sessions.
• How to invite and encourage focus group participants to share their stories.
• How focus groups can be used to both develop surveys and to corroborate survey data
