As my conference season is fast approaching I have been looking at what will I be wearing this year. Well, Open Identity, Open Infrastructure and Open Integration are the themes of my Spring collection.
First up is Open Identity with the Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit (#GartnerIAM ). I’m heading straight for the ForgeRock stand which I think will be buzzing this year as we’re seeing interest taking off in their products – and our partnership is really starting to get into its stride too.
Next up will be Open Infrastructure at the AWS Summit in London. This will be especially interesting following Smart421 winning two major AWS contracts recently and starting to operate in the SIAM role for National Rail Enquiries. My expectation is that this time around many more enterprises be declaring their AWS credentials – which is closer to my personal experience.
Last but not least, it’s Open Integration, back at Gartner for the Application Architecture, Development & Integration Summit ( #GartnerAADI ) in London on 16-17 May. This time we’re showcasing how Smart421 is turning the Service Factory concept “inside-out” to create the Open Enterprise. If you want to see more then come along and meet us there.
All three themes all tie back to how we see the Future of Architecture developing and that’s getting quite exciting too.
