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.

Revolutionizing content creation at Pilot Company with Jasper
Revolutionizing content creation at Pilot Company with Jasper
At Jasper, we are proud to play a part in revolutionizing the way companies like Pilot Company approach content creation. Nick Kakanis, a content designer on the Digital Products team, shared how Jasper has become an integral part of their workflow and brought about significant changes in their content strategy.
Pilot Company operates across multiple digital channels. Integrating Jasper into their workflow has proven to be a time-saving and workflow-enhancing strategy, ultimately positioning him as an "awesome partner”. The Pilot Company team collaborating with Jasper can tell the tool was built with the customer in mind.
Before Jasper, teams at Pilot Company were working in silos, each producing their own content. Jasper has changed this dynamic, breaking down barriers and encouraging collaboration. As Nick explained, Jasper often provides the missing piece when someone is stuck on a piece of writing, making the process more efficient and enjoyable.
One of the standout examples of how Jasper has proven useful is within Pilot's more technical teams. They have been utilizing the summarizer tool to distill dense technical documents into clear, concise bullet points. This function turned a 30-page document into a single page of key points, which could then be transformed into an explanatory email for the business development side. Repurposing content is now streamlined with the help of Jasper.
Jasper's impact goes beyond simply streamlining workflows; it also serves as a creative catalyst.
Nick highlighted how Jasper assists with ideation, such as generating headlines based on an existing document. The tool provides that "aha" moment when it suggests the perfect phrase or concept that was on the tip of one's tongue all along.
Designers at Pilot are also enthralled by the conversational aspect of Jasper Chat, revolutionizing the way that they communicate ideas. “I almost exclusively use Jasper Chat because it feels conversational and more like a collaboration or brainstorm session. Jasper has helped me create and edit content for design layouts so that prototypes feel more real and I can better illustrate a vision - no more lorem ipsum placeholder text!”
Another area where Jasper shines is in optimizing content for SEO. As a content writer, Nick focuses on storytelling. However, the need for the content to rank well on internet searches necessitates SEO optimization. This is where Jasper comes in, serving as a bridge between the complex requirements of SEO and the art of storytelling. With Jasper's guidance, Nick can optimize the content for search engines without sacrificing the narrative's integrity.
Pilot has multiple sub-brands, each with its unique voice. Jasper is being trained on these different brand voices, enabling teams to produce content tailored to their specific brand. This gives Pilot additional confidence and assurance that their content will align with their brand identity. Stephanie Bullock, Manager, Product Design at Pilot Company, sums it up perfectly: "Jasper is teaching me to be a better writer and collaborator. My work is stronger with his support and insight." By aligning content with the brand's voice and style, Jasper allows teams to create tailored, unique content that resonates with the target audience.
The impact of Jasper's introduction at Pilot speaks for itself. With Jasper, Pilot has saved each team member between 3 to 5 hours a week. This case study is a testament to Jasper's capability to transform work processes, foster collaboration, and boost productivity.
The introduction of Jasper has not only boosted productivity and creativity within organizations like Pilot but also fostered a sense of empowerment among content teams. By providing advanced AI capabilities, an intuitive interface, and robust collaboration features, Jasper streamlines workflows and saves valuable time. Our platform's unique blend of creativity and technology ensures that content is not only well-crafted but also optimized for maximum reach and engagement.
We are honored to be a part of Pilot's content initiatives and look forward to continuing our partnership in driving success.
