Executive Roundtable: Developerzy pod lupą: jak mierzyć, porównywać i oceniać efektywność zespołów IT

Zarządzanie zespołami IT nie może opierać się na intuicji. Efektywność wymaga twardych danych i miar. Które zespoły są naprawdę skuteczne? Jak ocenić, ile pracy wymagało wdrożenie konkretnej funkcji? W jaki sposób mierzyć postęp i jakość pracy programistów bez polegania na subiektywnych wskaźnikach?   Podczas spotkania CIONET Executive Roundtable porozmawiamy o tym, jak nowoczesne narzędzia analityczne – takie jak BlueOptima – pozwalają na obiektywne i porównywalne mierzenie coding effort, czyli rzeczywistego wysiłku włożonego w rozwój oprogramowania. Takie podejście może wspierać nie tylko kontrolę efektywności, ale też jakość, planowanie zespołów i – w dalszej perspektywie – optymalizację kosztów.   W trakcie dyskusji: Wyjaśnimy, czym jest coding effort i jak można go mierzyć niezależnie od technologii czy stylu pracy zespołu. Omówimy, jakie wskaźniki (np. wysiłek dzienny, wskaźnik trudnego do utrzymania kodu, koszt jednostki wysiłku) mają realną wartość dla liderów IT. Pokażemy, jak dane mogą pomóc w identyfikowaniu ryzyk, ocenie jakości kodu i skuteczniejszym zarządzaniu zespołami developerskimi. Zajrzymy też "pod maskę" – jak działa architektura platform takich jak BlueOptima, skąd czerpie dane i jak zapewnia obiektywność metryk. Naszym partnerem w przygotowaniu spotkania jest firma BlueOptima. Gość specjalny Jarosław Wójciński, Head of IT, BENEFIT SYSTEMS podzieli się praktycznymi doświadczeniami z wdrożenia i wykorzystania tej platformy w codziennej pracy działu IT.

Les Rencontres: La dette technique : Un défi stratégique pour les entreprises

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.

THE PREVENTION-FIRST APPROACH

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.

Next Generation Digital Twins - CIONET Belgium: Community Event

Imagine being able to monitor, simulate, and optimise an entire city, factory, or supply chain in real time. Next-generation digital twins are making this vision a reality, transforming how we manage and understand complex systems. By creating dynamic virtual replicas of physical assets and processes, digital twins allow organisations to predict issues, optimize performance, and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented accuracy.This event will explore how digital twins are being used across industries to revolutionize the way we operate and maintain large-scale, intricate systems—whether it’s the infrastructure of a smart city, the efficiency of a factory floor, or the resilience of global supply chains.Examples of Digital Twins in Action:Smart Cities: Urban planners can use digital twins to simulate traffic flow, monitor energy usage, or predict the impact of weather events on infrastructure. This enables cities to optimize resources and improve the quality of life for their citizens.Factories of the Future: Manufacturing plants are leveraging digital twins to monitor equipment in real time, prevent downtime, and optimize production lines. With predictive analytics, factories can avoid costly breakdowns and improve overall efficiency.Supply Chain Management: Complex supply chains, spanning continents and industries, can be modeled as digital twins to track shipments, simulate disruptions, and optimize logistics. Businesses can reduce inefficiencies and respond faster to market demands.Key Themes:Real-Time Monitoring and Simulation: How digital twins provide real-time insights into complex systems, allowing for dynamic response and optimization.Predictive Power: Leveraging AI and data analytics, digital twins help organisations predict and mitigate issues before they happen, from equipment failures to supply chain bottlenecks.Scalability Across Ecosystems: Digital twins aren’t limited to individual assets—learn how they can be scaled across entire ecosystems like smart cities or global supply chains for maximum impact.Building Trust and Security: With digital twins handling critical infrastructure and sensitive data, what are the security and governance frameworks needed to ensure trust in these virtual systems?Why You Should Attend:Next-generation digital twins are no longer just a concept—they are revolutionizing industries by offering a new way to manage complexity. Whether you’re looking to optimize a city, factory, or supply chain, this event will provide practical insights into how digital twins can transform your organisation’s operations and drive future innovation.
