Jun 17, 2025 Invitation Only Physical Polish
W dobie coraz głębszej integracji systemów IT i OT wiele firm staje przed strategicznym wyzwaniem: jak zapewnić bezpieczeństwo procesów operacyjnych bez hamowania innowacji i rozwoju? Niska dojrzałość programów cyberbezpieczeństwa OT, brak segmentacji sieci i ograniczone zarządzanie aktywami sprawiają, że przedsiębiorstwa są narażone nie tylko na zagrożenia techniczne, ale też na ryzyka biznesowe — przestoje, straty finansowe i utratę reputacji. Podczas dyskusji CIONET Roundtable omówimy realne dylematy zarządcze dotyczące odpowiedzialności za bezpieczeństwo w środowiskach OT i punktach styku z IT. Rafał Gąska, dyrektor ds. łańcucha dostaw RTV Euro AGD, podzieli się praktycznymi doświadczeniami w integrowaniu bezpieczeństwa OT z celami operacyjnymi i biznesowymi. Poruszymy tematy: Kto odpowiada za cyberbezpieczeństwo OT w strukturze organizacyjnej? Jak zarządzać ryzykiem w środowiskach hybrydowych IT/OT? Jakie są dobre praktyki segmentacji sieci i monitoringu OT? Wyzwania w zarządzaniu aktywami OT i ich wpływ na ciągłość działania. Jak budować współpracę między zespołami IT, OT i operacjami biznesowymi? Naszym partnerem w przygotowaniu spotkania jest firma TXOne.

Etex modernizes its IT foundation for a new era of sustainable innovation
Cognizant and SAP partnered to migrate a business-critical SAP ECC environment to S/4HANA to ready Etex for future transformation and innovation.
A target of 12 months was set for the whole environment to go live on S/4HANA. Throughout, Cognizant, Etex and SAP worked in partnership to ensure a smooth and successful project delivery with all parties working together to anticipate, address and resolve any issues.
The modernization involved first developing a thorough understanding of the SAP environment. A full system readiness analysis was conducted to understand which aspects of the environment would need remediation prior to the move. A conversion plan for the migration was then created, using best-practice processes and frameworks.
To de-risk the project, a six-cycle migration was planned. The cycles started with the sandbox environment, being the lowest-risk, and progressed through to the production environment. Each cycle involved Etex, Cognizant and SAP working together to convert to S/4HANA, implement mandatory simplification items, make custom code corrections and migrate the data. The learnings from each cycle were applied in subsequent cycles, in readiness for seamless cut-over and go live.
As part of our end-to-end approach, Cognizant also implemented a best-practice test management strategy that Etex can use for future business transformation projects.
All six cycles were completed as planned, with Etex going live on S/4HANA in a single weekend at the end of the <12-month period.
The smooth, on-time migration to S/4HANA allowed Etex to start benefiting from SAP S/4HANA features in a little over a year—a rapid timeframe for a full modernization of a complex legacy SAP ECC environment. Specific outcomes achieved to date include:
Throughout, the collaborative effort between Etex, SAP, and Cognizant facilitated coordination and ongoing external benchmarking. This has been fundamental for the successful execution and establishment of the groundwork for the digital transformation journey.

CIOFEST 2025 - From Order Taker to Proactive Disruptor
This high-energy panel event explored how artificial intelligence is transforming enterprise strategy, operations, and culture. Industry leaders from AstraZeneca, Orange Business, Strategy and Soho House shared how they are reimagining their organisations to stay competitive in the AI era.
The evolution of AI is comparable to that of IT, but it’s happening much faster. As with IT in its early days, AI is becoming deeply embedded in almost every business function. Amara’s Law also applies here: we tend to overestimate AI’s short-term effects and underestimate its long-term impact. This makes it essential to embed AI across your company in a structured way.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of the event's insights and reflections from industry leaders, along with actionable takeaways for IT professionals aspiring to reach leadership positions.
