DevSecOps should not exist. DevOps is not being done right unless there is a pervasive focus on security.  The overarching goal is to build and operate secure software, to write secure code and defend deployed applications. Security is not a matter of if, it’s when. During this episode of World Wide Technology’s TEC37 series on Automation and Orchestration, WWT experts Karl Mueller and Dana Callear will explore how security is integrated throughout the Software Delivery Lifecycle process and why this is important for companies leveraging modern applications.

Identity and access management (IAM) is a balancing act. On the one hand, organizations need to mature their capabilities as corporate assets increasingly live outside the traditional security perimeter. On the other hand, this can’t come at the cost of complicating the end-user experience. By focusing on five pillars of IAM, organizations can strike a balance, and give the right users the right level of access to enterprise resources at the right time. On the latest episode of World Wide Technology’s TEC37 series on Security, join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT’s Matt Wampler, Principal Security Consultant, and Maafu Shabaz, Principal Consultant. They’ll discuss how organizations can adopt identity principles and practices to drive a cohesive, strategic approach to IAM.

In this episode of World Wide Technology's TEC37 series on Carrier Networking, we have a follow up on a previous TEC37 where we discussed the theory of collapsing the optical network into the routed network. Now commonly known as Routed Optical Networks (RON), fueled by Cisco, this architecture is being promoted heavily in the industry and is picking up steam. Join WWT experts John Chiarini and Mike DiVincenzo as they discuss the current state of the technology, and what WWT is doing to be at the forefront of its evolution and adoption.

Contact center employees and the customers they support expect an expedient, seamless and straightforward experience. The level of their satisfaction, for the most part, is a direct reflection of the technologies and processes in place within the contact center. Cloud-native contact centers are better able to scale, and paired with AI, deliver a better experience for both customer service agents and your customers. In this episode of World Wide Technology's (WWT) TEC37 series on Digital Workspace, WWT's Ed Villarreal and Kim Kimkenben are joined by Google Cloud's Kishor Aher to discuss how to better understand how real AI for contact center is today, and key considerations for moving your contact center to private, public or hybrid cloud.

 In today’s highly competitive digital landscape, migrating to the cloud is no longer a choice. Meeting the expectations of digitally-savvy consumers means maximizing cloud capabilities. Yet enterprises often find that migrating applications and workloads to the cloud can deliver uneven results in terms of added flexibility, scalability and computational power across a variety of use cases. If the wrong migrations tools or approach is used, even the most experienced cloud professionals can expect to encounter downtime, data loss or other severe consequences.

In this episode of World Wide Technology's TEC37 Multicloud series, WWT’s Paul Sala outlined the decision-tree criteria organizations should follow for cloud migrations. You'll learn about WWT's approach for identifying which applications are great candidates for migration, which are weaker candidates, and which should not move to public cloud — all while keeping your organization’s business outcomes top of mind.

Modern applications allow organizations to rapidly deliver new digital experiences to their customers.
This has led to the rise of containers, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines, but, without the right solutions and strategy in place, it can be challenging to transform legacy applications and infrastructure.

Adopting Agile Principles in Cybersecurity

Apr 21, 2021

We’re at the dawn of a new breed of applications that will unlock the potential of Industry 4.0 —a fourth industrial revolution that will make the enterprise more agile, aware, efficient, intelligent, safe and sustainable.
Industry 4.0 is enabled by critical technologies that are each reaching peak maturity at the same time. When these technologies work cohesively and are supported by modern connectivity like private LTE and 5G, massive companies can move at the speed of a startup while maintaining their brute market strength while meeting their internal needs.
In this new episode of World Wide Technology’s TEC 37 series on Carrier Networking, host Robb Boyd talks to WWT’s Dan Graham, Don Rogers and Jason Craig to discuss Industry 4.0, how it works, who can piece it together and how it paves the way for a wave of new Fortune 500 companies.

Data Insights Briefing

Mar 12, 2021

COVID took most organizations by surprise. Companies that had previously ignored cloud technology and strategy became increasingly disrupted.
Even companies in the process of digital transformation — while better positioned than most — were unprepared for the magnitude of the challenge.
As organizations increasingly accept that COVID is a longer-term challenge, they also have a chance to appreciate the pandemic’s silver lining: enabling “work from anywhere” and accelerating technology modernization across all parts of the business — even those areas previously not considered.
In this new TEC37 episode, WWT experts Darren Roback and Michael Johnson discuss how many customers had to pause certain initiatives, reappropriate budgets to meet changing demands, and scramble to enable services to maintain even minimum levels of business operations.
