Agenda Items for Discussion
THE IMPACT OF MANDATORY REGULATION VERSUS
REGENERATION INVESTMENT FOR THE INDUSTRY?
NIGEL SOLKHON, INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS CONSULTANT,
IBMNow more than ever due to the dramatic changes
within the financial markets, regulators are focusing
on restricting the possibility of credit crunch and
subsequent recession re‐occurring within the
financial markets thus giving rise to New regulatory
guidelines.
The challenge for firms now is to how
are they to prioritise regulation projects alongside
regeneration investments? Is this a reality or will the
cost of regulatory projects stifle innovation?
We will discuss the challenges and opportunities
offered in 2009 for firms to manage optimisation
and compliance issues.
Roundtable Discussion
THE VALUE OF CONNECTIVITY – MOVING TOWARDS A
DIGITAL BRITAIN
The impact of social, economic and technological changes on
working styles and patterns is well recognised. We already
know that the “traditional”
office is no longer the bedrock of UK
industry, but what might the office and employee footprint of
the future look like?
Flexible working practices are, even now, breaking the mould of
established ways of doing business and with recent upgrades in
technology, combined with other influencing factors such as
the Government’s recent promise of universal connectivity in
Lord Carter’s Digital Britain report, the face of working Britain
could be transformed radically in the near future, with
immense implications for individuals and organisations.
If we are to fulfil the Government’s ambition of securing the
UK’s position as one of the world’s leading digital knowledge
economies, universal connectivity – and the technologies that
enable it – must be part of our business DNA.

We have industry‐leading processes and dedicated testing expertise in the UK, near‐shore and off‐shore and provide
a cost‐effective answer to the challenge of software testing.
We help companies to: •
Improve the efficiency of the testing process
by at least 25%. •
Reduce time to market by at least 15%. •
Cut total testing costs by 15‐30%. •
Reduce technical defects in software
production by at least 50%.
Our key offerings are:•
Test Process Improvement •
Software Testing As A Service•
Managed Testing Services•
Accelerated Test Automation•
Business Driven Testing
As the largest testing service in Europe, Sogeti
provides the reassurance that a business can achieve their IT project
and programme goals, by reducing the risk of IT failures, improving quality of deliverables and ensuring the delivery
of the business’
expectations.
Why Test ?Software testing was once an arcane backroom activity that was thought about by few people outside of the
development team. Nowadays, it is critical to a company’s business and to earning the confidence of customers and
other stakeholders. If it’s done properly, software testing can mitigate reputational
risk by ensuring that all customer‐
facing systems operate seamlessly from day one. It can mitigate business risk by ensuring that mission‐critical
transactional systems do not fail. It can mitigate financial risk by helping to ensure that IT projects are completed on
time and to budget. And it can mitigate people‐based risk by ensuring that only authorised, fully‐vetted individuals
have access to sensitive systems and data.
Why Sogeti
?Unlike other full‐service providers with testing practices or business units in which testing is a peripheral activity, we
focus solely on testing with our dedicated resources and facilities. We have been testing for over 35 years. Our
commitment to high value service provision is detailed by the following points:
•
Sogeti’s
‘best in breed’
open testing frameworks flex to
meet customer requirements.
Every testing service
provider has its own well‐defined testing process, but
Sogeti’s
is different. Sogeti’s
TMap
(Test Management
Approach) and TPI (Test Process Improvement)
are our
published methodologies that are designed to be
delivered in line with our customers’
needs. TMap
has
been refined over many years of experience in the field,
and is now an industry standard worldwide to ensure
cost, time to market and stringent quality targets are hit.
As a result, it provides greater reassurance and control
freeing the client to focus on other pressing business IT
issues.
•
We take a business‐driven risk and strategic approach.
By taking a more strategic and inclusive approach to the
value of testing within the context of overall QA roadmap,
and placing the customer’s business drivers and core
business issues at the heart of our tailored solutions, we
ensure that the most essential risks are addressed and the
broader business’
expectations are met.
•
Working in a flexible and partnership approach.
Whether in‐house or multi‐vendor means there are
continually varying requirements and expectations
from the end client. Sogeti
sets expectations
together with our clients and their other partners on
the project outcome and then uses its own
customer approval assessment to validate client
satisfaction on a project by project basis. Finally we
make the findings public. Not surprisingly Sogeti
achieves an average customer satisfaction of 92%
or higher.
•
As the largest testing service provider in Europe and
the US, with over 1,700 dedicated professional
testers in 200 locations worldwide, Sogeti
has
access to the largest international professional
resource pool with deep testing tool expertise.
Our
testers are skilled in a broad range of vendor tools
and technologies (e.g. HP, IBM, SAP, SOA, etc) and
are experienced in working in a multi‐
vendor/supplier environment.
Sogeti
are the Grandfathers of testing.

Application Security practices across your
organisation?

Paradigm shift for software test automation with TOSCA Testsuite™Get a positive RoI
the first time!
TRICENTIS Technology & Consulting GmbHLeonard‐Bernstein‐Staße

T: +43 (1) 263 24 09W: www.tricentis.com
TOSCA enables testers to define and maintain automated test cases in a business conform way. No scripting,
no programming, and no parallel software development project necessary. TOSCA slashes cost and time for
software test automation by elevating it to a business discipline.
Problem
So far, the automation of software
tests costs too much, consumes
too much time and simply fails to
return any economical payback.
This is primarily due to the fact
that the technological basis of the
established tools/vendors for test
automation is very technical and
requires a parallel software
development project.
No longer:
TOSCA’s
unique approach
changes everything!
Solution
The superior and unique core ofTOSCA – the “Business DynamicSteering”
allows subject matterexperts from the business todefine
and maintain
automatedtest cases in a business based way(no coding or scripting).
Benefits
Bottom line: By elevating test
automation to a business
discipline, the maintenance efforts
can be cut by 70 to 80%. In other
words: The radical reduction of
maintenance efforts allows for a
much higher level of automation
with less people. Testers need to
have business knowledge – no
programming or technical skills.
TOSCA transforms test automation
from a “do‐it‐yourself business”
to
an industrialized and professional
business to be conducted with a
standard tool instead of individual
framework development.
CompanyTRICENTIS, with its headquarters in Vienna (Austria) and local operations in Hamburg (Germany) and Zurich
(Switzerland), has developed the greatest innovation the industry has seen in decades. Up to now the fast
growing company has been operating in Central Europe only but will expand further to serve the important UK
market as well. TRICENTIS was founded in 1997, employs 80+ people, and has been working with clients in the
field of software testing since then. 120+ customers have adopted TOSCA Commander™
since its launch in 2006
and over 1.100 licenses were sold.

Do you have a vision that one day
you’d be in total control of your IT
Systems and
your budget?
Why just Visualise when you could
Virtualise.
Virtualisation now plays a key role in
nearly every Enterprise IT Solution. The
need to reduce power consumption and
server sprawl, whilst delivering a flexible,
adaptive and high availability IT
environment has never been greater.
And of course all this at a time of severe
economic constraint.
Beovax
specialises in providing
Enterprise class Virtualisation, Hosting
and Disaster Recovery solutions, with a
proven track record of successful design,
implementation and support in each of
these areas.
When choosing an IT partner it pays to
pick the people you trust over the
promises of ‘technical fireworks’.
Anyone can buy fireworks...the real key
lies in producing a ‘display’
of technical
excellence, designed to exceed your
expectations. Thankfully, we have an
exceptional reputation for exceeding
customer expectations!
Over our 17 year history we’ve had the
pleasure of building many long term
partnerships with our customers
including Cable & Wireless, Anglian
Water and Lotus Cars to name but a few.
We view each new client relationship as
an exciting opportunity to work
alongside them to produce the best
possible solution, on time and on budget.
Only by fully understanding your
business needs, objectives and ways in
which you use technology can we
recommend the most effective, custom
solution to meet all of your IT
requirements, both now and long into
the future.
Why not let Beovax
turn your vision
into a reality!

Over the past 10 years we’ve witnessed
organisations suffering from ‘build‐
abandon‐rebuild’. Web projects take too
long; often undertaken by ‘design
agencies’
without appropriate processes
and skill‐sets. ‘Retro‐fitting’
quality only
results in more problems.
Our approach is driven by best practice
in requirements gathering and
management through to support. A
proven project discovery and
requirements gathering process
identifies stakeholder needs and value
hidden within existing web systems.
We work exclusively in .Net +
SQL
Server with experience in older
platforms like ASP, ColdFusion
helping
in modernisation work with legacy web
CMS projects.
Budget cuts mean it’s crucial to show
short‐
and longer‐term ROI ‐
we focus on
phased delivery, leveraging existing
systems to add value. With 70+ CMS
implementations completed, we have
integrated with case management
systems / ticketing solutions /
membership plus numerous bespoke
systems.

Like the technology itself, the
communications infrastructure
supplier landscape is converging.
Nortel is a high profile player in
the consolidation activities
currently impacting this market.
What role is Nortel playing
and
why should you still be
considering Nortel for your
business telephony, data
networking, contact centre or
unified communication projects?
Nortel is currently in the process of
selling each of its divisions. One of its
prized assets, the Enterprise Division,
has been the subject of an auction ‐
a
number of the world’s leading
enterprise communications brands
have been bidding for the business.
They know that by acquiring Nortel’s
portfolio of enterprise products and
customers, they’ll likely emerge as
the second player in a new market
duopoly.
If you are not current using Nortel,
we would like to meet you so that
we an explain this new supplier
landscape. Our solutions for
Corporate Communications, Unified
Communications and Contact Centre
already sit within their respective
Gartner Magic Quadrants –
evidence
of the strength of the portfolio that
is being acquired – and should
consequently see our new company
positioned on almost every project
shortlist in future.
If you are already a Nortel enterprise
customer, we would welcome this
opportunity to meet with you to talk
through the status of the sale and
the timelines for integration with our
new owner: to ensure ongoing
support of your networks; and the
realisation of your communications
strategy.
WEB or Windows, whichever suits
you best.
Rockwell Automation (EMEA) have
depended on Pyinna
for 8 years.
Rockwell run Pyinna’s
FLEXI system
for 1500 users, making 45,000

Thorsten
Hartmann (CRM Manager):“New requirements arise weekly.
Plug them into FLEXI.NET and we’re
ready to work. Everything is Browser
based so there is no roll‐out time or
cost –
amazing. Every company in
the world would benefit from this
product!”
Michele Walraet
(Lead Generation):“Whole sub‐systems can be added in
ludicrously small amounts of time. It
takes us longer to discuss the
requirements than it does Pyinna
to
have them fully tested and making
our company more efficient”.
FLEXI.NET is a simple software idea
beautifully engineered.
Simple as One, Two...
1. Import the database and screen
designs from Excel files.
2. Build the business processes by
slotting together the 90 logic blocks
in whatever way you need.
3. Try it and tweak it till it’s just as
you like. Then, Go Live!
We just lay out your business
processes on to the FLEXI.NET
system and the job is done.

Extreme Savingswith WAN Optimisation
The
value
of
WAN
optimisation
is
its
ability
to
deliver
strategic
value while enabling IT teams to
cut
unnecessary
operations
costs.
For
many
Riverbed
customers, the payback period is
months. Imagine providing these
savings for your business:
•Cut
server
costs
and
routine
IT
maintenance
through
consolidation
as
well
as
virtualization
for
your
branch
office.
This
results
in
lower
capital expenditures and frees IT
administrators to manage fewer,
servers
in
central
locations
as
opposed
to
potentially
thousands of remote devices.
•Invest
less
in
disaster
recovery
–
but
get
more.
Today's
businesses
require
protected
data
to
meet
industry
and
government
regulations,
utilizing
WAN
optimisation
means
that
data
can
be
backed
up
more
frequently
with
less
investment
in
the
time
and
infrastructure required to do so.
•Defer

Businesses
