010. Lotusphere 2012 - Technology for Social Business : Sponsor Sessions track

Here is Sponsor Sessions

SPN201 “Socializing” Your Old IBM Lotus Notes Apps
Abstract: You've heard all of the buzz about the value of becoming a social business. You currently have a bunch of traditional Notes applications. You want to know how to start there and become social, or maybe even migrate your Notes apps to a social platform. We'll share some tools and techniques that can get you there.

SPN202 The New Mobile Landscape: Solving Compliance and "Bring Your Own Device"
Abstract: It's official BYOD, "Bring Your Own Device", is reality. IT managers are feeling pressure to open their networks to employee devices, yet still manage security and compliance at greater levels than ever. While the two responsibilities seem at odds, new technology helps achieve a balance of both worlds. By managing devices with more flexibility - without forgoing security - businesses can quickly adapt to mobile technology and gain competitive edge in the process. From data security requirements of financial institutions, government and healthcare to mobile demands of insurance and business services, an evolved device policy can provide both the flexibility and control required to compete effectively. The best news is that the process is simpler than you may think. Device manufacturers, such as HTC, working with carriers and partners (i.e. IBM), can quickly help you consider your needs and provide complete solutions.

SPN203 Ten Critical Steps for Migrating your IBM Lotus Notes Applications
Abstract: Many of our clients at GBS have expressed an interest in migrating their older IBM Lotus Notes applications to a new modern, web-based platform. As experts in the Lotus space our Consultants at GBS have been involved in a number of migration projects. During this session we will outline our ten critical steps for migrating your Lotus applications. Regardless of the destination, we are confident that this ten-step process will be a valuable contribution not only for your initial analysis and technology selection, but throughout your entire migration project.

SPN204 Harnessing the Power of Enterprise Mobility
Abstract: It's hard to talk to an enterprise customer these days without getting into a discussion about Mobile. By 2012, the shipment of smartphones and tablets is expected to exceed that of tradi-tional personal computers, including laptops. Enterprise CIOs want to use these personal mobile devices to give better access to their internal data and processes for employees, as well as enabling better purchasing and support services for their customers. Complicating this is the variety of devices used, employees who wish to use their own devices at work, application level and device management, cost controls, and security concerns. In this session, Bob Sutor will discuss his views on the foundational needs of enterprises for a mobile application platform, mobile device management, and security along with comments on how IBM can help you become a social business that leverages experts wherever they are working.

SPN205 Big Data and Social Business
Abstract: For the past 30 years IT industry has been focusing on processing data associated with business transactions. We have developed sophisticated database infrastructures to capture and analyze transactional data. Social business dramatically changes the volume, variety and velocity of data rendering data processing tools ineffective. This session will introduce Big Data technologies, challenges and methods of integration with existing data and the way of implementing predictive analytics that are required for the social enterprise.

SPN206 Going Viral or Managing the Introduction of Social Content Management
Abstract: There is a practice in campus construction where walkways are not paved at the time the campus opens on the assumption that the engineers can not predict where people will walk. In time the engineers pave over where people have created paths. Similarly, organizations can 'go social' with a traditional IT approach of building an ROI that meets clearly defined and focused business need. Alternatively, simply let Social software go viral and see what sort of problems users choose to address with it and then harden the high value use cases. In this panel session representatives from social businesses will discuss the business drivers, user needs and adoption experiences across this spectrum of deployment strategies.

Abstract: Today’s organizations are rapidly adopting Cloud or SaaS applications due to the many potential benefits, such as reduced costs in licensing and maintenance, as well as increased user adoption and IT agility. Yet factors such as security, integration, and user adoption are among many considerations which are key to a successful Cloud adoption model. In this webinar, you will hear from technology experts and learn how best practices, fit-for-purpose solutions and trends in cloud computing can empower your organization to successfully adopt and deploy your Cloud strategy.

SPN208 Professor Larry Gee Explains How Social Business is Shaping The Leaders of Tomorrow
Abstract: Professor Larry Gee from San Jose State University (who has a 30-year history with IBM) agreed to pilot a first-of-its-kind social business challenge, The Great Mind Challenge 'Get Social. Do Business.' with a group of 100 students currently studying business and biotech. In this session the Professor will show how the students built cutting-edge social business skills, enabling them to differentiate themselves from other students in this competitive economic climate. He will share student testimonials (videos) demonstrating the value students found in this challenge and explain how tie-ups between academia and industry benefits everyone.

SPN209 Social Media and IT: What IT Needs to Know
Abstract: IT can play an important role in providing a reality check on the hype associated with social media. IT can guide the corporate conversation toward a more holistic business approach that marries the impact of social media to the underlying business and operational processes that measure organizational performance. Attend this session to hear what IT needs to know about social media.

SPN210 The Social Enterprise: Social Analytics and Your Workforce

Jennifer Hanniman, senior product manager for IBM Cognos Consumer Insight, will showcase how HR professionals can use social media to gain valuable insight into recruitment and satisfaction programs across multiple social data sources - internally and externally – to more effectively assess retention and acquisition of employees.

SPN211 Getting Social with Content and Case Management -- The Right Approach to Successful Business Outcomes
Abstract: Case management represents a series of business activities that can be utilized across multiple industries enabling information workers with improved insight via access to the right expertise and knowledge in the context of a case and/or project. An intuitive case management user experience helps businesses see complex decisions through fruition in a timely manner. The integrated social application elements transform content into a collaborative process. Ultimately it drives productivity and specific outcomes by incorporating intelligent interactions with customers, constituents and subject matter experts across the organization. In this session we will highlight real customer stories that range from social content to social case management.
