The system works. That’s the problem. It’s old, complex, deeply integrated, and still running your most critical operations. Everyone agrees change is needed. But no one wants to be the one who breaks it. The stakes are too high.

Serdecznie zapraszamy na warsztaty technologiczne, podczas spotkania Wojciech Małek z Ab Initio Software opowie: Dlaczego kontekst i pamięć są krytyczne dla dużych modeli językowych? Podczas spotkania pokażemy, jak ograniczone okno kontekstowe oraz podatność na halucynacje – nawet przy użyciu technik RAG – wpływają na wiarygodność odpowiedzi LLM-ów. Od pojedynczego agenta do Agentic AI Wyjaśnimy różnicę między klasycznym „AI Agentem” a ekosystemem współpracujących agentów (Agentic AI) – oraz dlaczego ta zmiana podejścia jest przełomowa. Model Context Protocol (MCP) Przedstawimy MCP jako kluczowy element architektury Agentic AI, a także jego miejsce w rodzinie nowych protokołów komunikacji międzyagentowej (m.in. A2A, ANP). Granice rozumowania LRM-ów Podsumujemy najnowsze badania nad Large Reasoning Models, pokazując zarówno ich możliwości, jak i ograniczenia – oraz co to znaczy dla projektantów systemów Agentic AI.

Procesy HR sa kluczowe dla znajdowania, motywowania i utrzymywania talentów w IT. A skoro bez talentów nie dą sie robić IT to procesy HR wyglądają na kluczowe. A skoro są tak ważne to podlegają optymalizacji w zakresie ich jakości , efektywności i skuteczności. A wiemy w IT, że bez cyfryzacji powyższych nie osiągniemy. A zatem: Jakie procesy w HR sa kluczowe? Jakie z nich dziś śmiało cyfryzujemy? Jakie najnowsze technologie dziś je wspierają? Czy AI jest na tej liście? Spotkanie otworzy Krzysztof Zawistowski, Human Capital Director, Inter Cars, który podzieli się swoimi praktykami i doświadczeniem w powyższych tematach.

Security teams are overwhelmed. Too many tools. Too many alerts. Too few people. And now, increasing pressure from the board to protect everything, everywhere, all the time. Expect honest reflection, shared strategies, and a conversation that cuts through compliance noise and focuses on what to do when your team is stretched and your risk is rising.

L’adozione sempre più diffusa del Public & Hybrid Cloud, unita all’evoluzione delle minacce informatiche e alla crescente importanza della protezione dei dati, della conformità normativa e della continuità operativa, rende la sicurezza del cloud una priorità strategica per le organizzazioni moderne. La protezione proattiva è diventata essenziale, poiché aspettare solo di reagire agli attacchi può portare a gravi conseguenze. L’approccio Prevention-First sposta il focus sulla prevenzione degli attacchi, piuttosto che sulla remediation: richiede una gestione integrata e predittiva delle vulnerabilità e il rafforzamento delle difese nel cloud, elementi chiave per garantire una sicurezza solida e resiliente e per evitare l'escalation degli attacchi. Durante questa roundtable organizzata da CIONET, concepita come un incontro peer-to-peer per i CIO, CISO e gli esperti di cyber security, esploreremo come integrare la prevenzione delle minacce nella strategia di sicurezza del cloud, proteggendo i sistemi prima che le minacce possano causare danni irreparabili.

Cybersecurity ist längst kein reines IT-Thema mehr – sie betrifft das gesamte Unternehmen. Doch während die Bedrohungslage zunimmt, geraten viele Security-Verantwortliche an ihre Belastungsgrenzen: zwischen 24/7-Verantwortung, wachsenden Anforderungen und dem ständigen Innovationsdruck.

IT-Betrieb und Cybersicherheit stehen heute unter extremem Druck: steigende Komplexität, wachsende regulatorische Anforderungen (NIS2, DORA, KRITIS), chronische Ressourcenknappheit – und gleichzeitig eine Bedrohungslage, die keine Verzögerungen duldet. Trotzdem agieren viele IT- und Security-Teams noch immer in Silos. Die Folge: ineffiziente Abläufe, Tool-Wildwuchs, langsame Reaktion auf Vorfälle und unklare Verantwortlichkeiten.

La dette technique est comparable à la négligence des réparations d'une maison. Ignorer un toit qui fuit peut faire gagner du temps aujourd'hui, mais cela pourrait conduire à l'effondrement du plafond plus tard. Pour remédier à la dette technique, il faut trouver et réparer ces fuites dès maintenant et mettre en place un plan d'entretien de la maison afin qu'elle soit prête pour les extensions futures. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, il faut définir des priorités stratégiques, communiquer clairement avec les parties prenantes et établir une feuille de route à long terme pour la modernisation. Cet événement se déroulera entièrement en français.

Read MoreOutSystems enables Sodexo Engage to better deliver rewards and benefits for customers
The high-performance low-code development platform helps differentiate Sodexo Engage in the competitive benefits and reward market.
OutSystems, a global leader in high-performance application development, today announced that Sodexo Engage has deployed the OutSystems platform to deliver a robust and secure, fully managed service for its public sector customers, in just 12 weeks.
The future-proof platform allows public sector customers of Sodexo Engage to offer both eVouchers and Bulk Voucher Cheques to their employees via desktop and mobile devices, as well as the ability to process high volumes of vouchers. It also removes the need for time-consuming manual workarounds that were previously required. Alongside this, the platform is optimised for cyber-security compliance and fulfils all the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations.
Along with tightly integrating with Sodexo Engage’s own systems, including its CRM, payment gateways and helpdesk, the new platform also directly links to the aggregators used to purchase vouchers. This helps improve processes, drives efficiencies, and streamlines the entire process for customers and end-users.
Sodexo Engage, part of Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services, is a leading expert in employee engagement, providing award-winning employee benefits, rewards and recognition, and creating experiences that make a real difference to people’s lives, both inside and outside the workplace. Globally, Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services, the number two world leader in Employee Benefit and Engagement Solutions, is a trusted and responsible partner bringing to life sustainable and personalised employee experiences, at work and beyond. Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services operates in 31 countries and is supported by 4,200 employees.
The company originally worked with OutSystems in 2018 to deliver a new platform to support one of its most popular products. At that time, it was working within a very tight timeframe and needed to deliver a platform that was both functionally rich and visually attractive, as well as secure and scalable, to meet the needs of both its customers and consumers.
Jamie Mackenzie, Director at Sodexo Engage, said: “At Sodexo Engage we’re committed to delivering powerful employee experience solutions that make a real difference to people’s lives, both inside and outside the workplace. The OutSystems platform provides us with the right technology to do this. Not only does this new platform enable us to provide a quick and easy-to-use on boarding process for customers, and a simple journey for voucher recipients, it also allows the team to automate processes so that the day-to-day routines don’t have to rely on manual workarounds, all while complying with the stringent requirements of the public sector.”
Willem van Enter, Vice President Europe, Middle-East & Africa, OutSystems, added: “Our high-performance low-code development platform has enabled Sodexo Engage to rapidly develop a solution that delivers for its customers by allowing them to securely process high volumes of vouchers, whilst complying with the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations, and being optimised for mobile, as well as desktop access. It is another great example of the sort of success organisations can achieve by working with OutSystems.”

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success. Unveiling the intricate trilemma faced by today’s Master Chefs, our trailblazing European CIOs address a challenge at the nexus of customer interests, digital transformation strategies, and IT modernisation. Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.
The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.
Geopolitical tensions have dominated the headlines for over two years now. In this context, the cyber threat landscape is also evolving rapidly. The protection and security of critical infrastructure – both physical and digital – is becoming increasingly important.
