Migrating legacy systems to the cloud remains one of the toughest balancing acts in IT. Every choice affects stability, cost, and trust at once, and what starts as a modernisation effort quickly turns into a negotiation between ambition and reality. Suddenly budgets rise, dependencies appear late, and timelines tighten as old architectures collide with new expectations. In the end, success depends on sequencing, ownership, and aligning business priorities with infrastructure limits, and not only on technical readiness. Making it work requires more than a plan on paper. Knowing which systems genuinely belong in the cloud, which can wait, and which should stay put shapes the entire roadmap and defines its success. Each refactoring decision sets the level of future flexibility, but it also drives cost and risk. The trade-offs between speed, sustainability, and resilience only become clear once migration begins and pressure builds. Let’s discuss how to plan migrations that stay on track, manage hidden dependencies, and handle downtime with confidence. Let’s also discuss how governance, testing, and vendor coordination keep progress visible and credible. Are you in? A closed conversation for those who turn cloud migration from a disruption into a long-term advantage.

CIOs today are being judged less as technology leaders and more as portfolio managers. Every euro is under scrutiny. Boards and CFOs demand lower run costs, higher efficiency, and clear ROI from every digital initiative. Yet, they also expect CIOs to place bets on disruptive technologies that will keep the enterprise competitive in five years. This constant tension is redefining the role. In this session, we go beyond FinOps and cost reporting to tackle the strategic financial dilemmas CIOs face.

AI coding assistants entered development teams quietly, but their impact grows by the day. What started as autocomplete now shapes architecture decisions, documentation, and testing. And when productivity gains are visible, so are new risks: security blind spots, uneven quality, and the slow erosion of shared standards. Teams move faster, but not always in the same direction. The challenge has become integration rather than adoption. And new questions have risen: how do you blend automation into established practices without losing oversight? When is human review still essential, and what should the rules of collaboration between developer and machine look like? As AI tools learn from proprietary code, where do responsibility and accountability sit? Let’s talk about how to redefine those workflows, balancing creativity with control, and protecting code quality in a hybrid human-AI environment. A closed conversation on where AI accelerates progress, where it introduces new debt, and how development culture must evolve to stay credible.

Zero Trust sounds simple on paper: trust no one, verify everything. But once you start implementing it, the fun begins. Legacy systems, hybrid networks, and human habits don’t read the manual. The idea is solid; the execution, not so much.

How TeleClinic future-proofed their support with AI-powered automation
When the pandemic made automation a necessity, TeleClinic turned to Ultimate for an automation solution that could provide empathetic and efficient customer support at scale. Three years later, TeleClinic continues to trust Ultimate for the future success of their CX.
TeleClinic is a platform that matches patients with doctors for online consultations via mobile app.
Since launching in 2015, TeleClinic has emerged as Germany's leading provider of telemedicine. They serve a two-sided market of healthcare professionals and patients.
A team of 20 customer service agents provide round-the-clock support to TeleClinic users.
TeleClinic offers automated support via both ticket and chat.
When the pandemic created an unforeseen spike in demand, TeleClinic knew they needed to automate. Since then, their unique use cases have called for an even more sophisticated automation solution
Not only did Ultimate help agents manage a 500% uptick in requests during the pandemic, but it has since enabled them to separately serve both doctors and patients via two custom-built bots.
TeleClinic experienced a 500% increase in requests during the pandemic, which was overwhelming for their support team to say the least. From where they saw it: they could either hire and onboard a lot more people quickly, or automate processes to support their existing team. When faced with this decision, it was clear that AI-powered automation was the only logical choice. After researching other competitors, TeleClinic chose Ultimate as the best automation solution to meet their complex use cases in serving both doctors and patients. They also needed to work with an automation provider located in the EU to ensure GDPR compliance, and Ultimate fit the bill.
Three years later, Ultimate’s automation solution continues to help remove barriers in access for people seeking telemedical support – and to the doctors looking to provide it. For example, both patients and doctors are able to self-serve much more quickly through the platform, with a whopping workload reduction of 18.9 hours per ticket. TeleClinic has also been able to steadily reduce costs, with €100,504.42 saved in 2023 alone. They’ve achieved all this while keeping their agents happy, too. Due to upticks in requests during hay fever season or when there is a stomach bug going around, agent workload remains stable thanks to automation. As a result, agent NPS score has been a steady 8.5/10. From a global pandemic to hay fever season, TeleClinic feels prepared to weather whatever the future holds thanks to Ultimate's automation solution.
Philipp Weidenbach
Head of Patient Operations, TeleClinic


Telemedicine is a naturally complex industry so TeleClinic loves our solution that provides tailored support to both time-pressed doctors and patients in need.
With a bot taking care of common customer requests, TeleClinic can meet fluctuating demand — without increasing agents’ workload.
Given the sensitive nature of the requests TeleClinic’s support team handles, they needed an automation partner they could rely on to treat customer data securely.
Their bot sits inside their existing tech stack and seamlessly integrates with their CRM, Zendesk. Ultimate analytics dashboard provides clear and easy to use stats.
In a high-stakes and ever-changing industry like telemedicine, TeleClinic is always thinking about how they can up their support game by using the best that CX automation has to offer. They are currently curious about how they can harness the potential of UltimateGPT , which uses generative AI to offer even more empathetic and efficient support as they continue to scale.

Digital Transformation is redefining the future of health care and health delivery. All stakeholders are convinced that these innovations will create value for patients, healthcare practitioners, hospitals, and governments along the patient pathway. The benefits are starting from prevention and awareness to diagnosis, treatment, short- and long-term follow-up, and ultimately survival. But how do you make sure that your working towards an architecturally sound, secure and interoperable health IT ecosystem for your hospital and avoid implementing a hodgepodge of spot solutions? How does your IT department work together with the other stakeholders, such as the doctors and other healthcare practitioners, Life Sciences companies, Tech companies, regulators and your internal governance and administrative bodies?
