Montreal Forum | Technology and Innovation | Tuesday, October 18, 2022

In the last 24 months, the pace of business in Canada and everywhere else has continued to increase. Pressure on work teams is creating a strong need to review and optimize some current ways of doing things. Fortunately, the world is now going through some of the most significant technological advances that are transforming the way that companies and public organizations operate today.

Which technological transformations will have the greatest impact on your company next year?

To give you an overview of these observed trends and those to come, we are bringing together many experts, IT executives and their project leads in Montreal on October 18:


HYBRID CLOUD
| Theme 1: How to accelerate your transition to the Cloud while preserving your team’s talent and expertise, controlling your costs and services, and responding to the need to integrate your existing systems (“legacy apps”).


CYBERSECURITY
| Theme 2: Increase your company’s protection performance against new forms of attack. How to shift from management in silos, which has become cumbersome and complex, to an integrated and modern approach to security management.
(Please note that the cybersecurity workshop will take place via private meetings / presentations instead of a group session. This will respect the sensitive nature of the topic discussed and allow each participant to get personnalized advices on their situation) 


ANALYTICS AND AI
| Theme 3: Give meaning to your company’s data use strategy. Take advantage of new platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) to expand your clients’ experience, increase collaboration between your teams, and connect with your partners securely.
