Digital Opportunities For Enterprise & Workforce
2020-08-21 10:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Online, Singapore
The Covid-19 situation has disrupted the way organisations manage their businesses and it shown us that digitalisation is no longer an option for many organisations. Organisations would also need to adapt and transform to meet the new challenges brought on by this new disruption.

As IT leaders of your organisation, it is important to ensure staff in your organisation continue to re-skill and upskill their digital competencies to keep up with the growing demands of digitalisation
This webinar will focus on how the TechSkills Accelerator (TeSA) initiative can help ICT and non-ICT professionals upgrade and acquire new ICT skills and domain knowledge to meet new challenges in this landscape.
Join this webinar and find out about the support provided to businesses to train ICT professionals.

ITMA-Forrester Webinar Event
2020-08-13 18:30 - 19:30 | Online, Singapore
Remote work is not going anywhere. After the initial rush by IT teams to deploy technologies to support employees and customers remotely during the pandemic, organizations are now entering an interim phase of 12-18 months whereby they will have to continue to adapt to this rapidly evolving situation.

In that stage, remote work will need to evolve from being a solution “by default” to being a solution “by design” that ensures a productive and secure end-user experience for employees for the remainder of the crisis and for crises to come.
You are invited to this live webinar ‘Preparing For The New Normal: Design A Remote Work Program That Drives Employee Engagement’ which will be hosted by Forrester Vice President & Research Director Frederic Giron.
In this session, Fred will discuss how organizations should build their remote working programs. Here are some takeaways that you will gain from attending this webinar:
The three stages of business planning leading to post COVID-19 recovery
How employees in Asia-Pacific are reacting to remote working conditions
Why a focus on employee experience is now more important than ever
How firms can design a remote work program that drives team resilience

Akamai Virtual Security Round Table
2020-07-08 17:00 - 18:00 | Online, Singapore
Over the next 12-18 months, CIOs are expected to be increasingly asked by the business to focus IT spend on areas that can deliver immediate business value and minimize business risks.

In ensuring constructive IT spend, building operational and cyber resilience into all aspects of technology spending is especially critical. With effective integration of both components, enterprises will see themselves forging ahead of their competitors within their industries.
Join us for an interactive round table session on 8 July 2020 as we dive into the topic of Maximizing Business Value from Your Technology Investments. During the session, we will delve deeper and explore various deciding criteria for IT spend prioritization, with a focus on key domains such as:
– Delivering digital services with an improved user experience
– Effectively managing technology risk
– Enabling a secure remote workforce
– Making technology platforms resilient to cyber attacks
To spice up the night, we would like to invite you to get hands-on and join us for a toast with your very own DIY cocktail or mocktail kits that we will be gifting you for the online event. Do also participate in an exciting quiz during the session and stand a chance to win attractive prizes!

ITMA Webinar with Dr Tan Kee Wee: Globalisation After Covid-19
2020-06-16 19:00 | Online, Singapore
Dear ITMA Members,
This coronavirus has destroyed and created many industries. It has also changed the way we work and play.

This online lecture will focus on how globalisation will develop from here. One of the things it has done is to encourage people to use e-payment systems.
Currently, we depend on our credit cards and bank accounts for e-payments. And this in turn depends on our traditional banking systems. But there is a parallel banking system being developed that will soon replace the traditional banking system.
This transformation could be very sudden, just as the appearance of the coronavirus was sudden. Attend this talk and find out how the global economies will be affected when this transformation occurs.
Our distinguish guest – Dr Tan Kee Wee
Tan Kee Wee runs an economics advisory firm. Prior to that, Dr Tan spent many years in the investment industry as an economist, forecasting the financial markets and global economies.
Dr Tan started off his career in 1988 as a journalist with the Business Times. That was after he secured his PhD in Economics from the University of East Anglia in Britain.
Despite spending most of his career in the business world, he continues to teach undergraduates economics on a part-time basis.

Remote Work Security Executive Roundtable
2020-05-04 18:00 | Online, Singapore
Our daily work schedules may have been disrupted in recent times but cybercrimes do not stop. According to FireEye device detections, coronavirus-themed malicious emails increased during the month of March 2020. Specifically, FireEye has observed more than four times as many phishing emails in the second half of March than we did in the first half.

Ensuring data integrity and security as well as operational security during these times of disruption or increased remote work is critical. Remote workers should be advised on how to best secure their workplaces, remote work security policies, and access controls should be reviewed and clearly communicated. Special attention should also be paid to the possibility of insider threats.
Safety is of the utmost importance. Not just for ourselves but for our business organizations too.

Dear ITMA Members
As a technology leader within your organization how can you help your organization gain value from its growing data? What makes a future-proof yet pragmatic approach to adapt to the evolving changes?

Digital transformation (DX) is at the top of the strategic objectives list for most organizations. However, one key aspect of DX that is often overlooked and causes problems if not adequately prepared for, is the issue of data management. Before you can reap the benefits of your data – which is the core of DX – you need to have control over it first.
Most enterprise data is scattered across multiple locations on-premise and in various clouds (public, private, hybrid). It is trapped in infrastructure silos or buried in long-forgotten storage systems, or back-up devices. This fragmentation of data makes it difficult and time-consuming for IT to control or access, and hinders data exploitation for the business, let alone support new workloads and functionalities.
Given such fast evolving demands, technologies that were deployed to drive efficiencies and automations often become obsolete and result in the need for new tools and systems to satisfy new requirements to support DX.
As a thought leader in our Industry, we invite you to a discussion on the challenges of Mass Data Fragmentation and how to future proof and radically redefine Data Management

Cybersecurity And Data Breaches - Can you face the music?
2019-06-20 18:00 | Alba 1836 Wine Bar & Restauran, 28 Duxton Hill #01-01 Singapore 089610, Singapore
In 2018, the Personal Data Protection Commission Singapore looked into almost 30 complaints of potential data breaches and issued enforcement decision in the majority of the cases. In May of the same year, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) also came into force, putting in place accountability and penalties on organisations around the globe which process data of EU residents.
In the face of more sophisticated cyber attacks, organisations are beefing up cyber secruity defences and response. However, are these sufficient to be in compliance with regulations in the unlikely event of a breach?
Come join us as Gilbert Leong, senior partner in Dentons Rodyk’s Intellectual Property & Technology practice group discusses data breaches from a legal compliance and cyber security liabilities perspective.
On behalf of our sponsor, Vivek Chudgar – Senior Director at FireEye for Mandiant Consulting in Asia Pacific, will also give a short talk titled “The difference between compliance and security” thereafter.

2019-01-30 09:00 - 13:30 | HPE New Campus, (Block 1) Customer Engagement Centre, Level 11 1 Depot Close, Singapore 109841, Singapore
Digital disruption is leaving no stone, or in this case, industry unturned. The lifespan of the average S&P 500 company has reduced significantly, from almost 60 years in the 1950s to less than 20 years today! thanks to the rapid advancement of technology.

The message is loud and clear: either digitally transform or risk lagging.
How do we stay ahead, especially when coupled with evolving end-user expectations? How can we gain enhanced flexibility, efficiency and scalability by adding composability to the cloud? Traditional three-tier infrastructures are no longer enough to support new digital transformation initiatives and technology deployments. Companies now need to rethink their IT strategy—a holistic approach that deeply integrates intelligence into every aspect, from the edge to the network to the data center—to create new value through innovation, deliver new customer experiences, and enable new milestones.
Join HPE & ITMA to find the answers you need to unlock your enterprise of the future. Whether it is about the cloud and the intelligent edge, the AI-powered autonomous data center or the smart, connected workplace, the event promises to keep you updated on the latest industry-leading technologies and how they can accelerate your company’s transformation journey.

CIO Huddle #1: Future of Payments for Your Organization – Opportunities and Pitfalls.

Can Singapore catch up in the race to go cashless? What are the opportunities and pitfalls? The Singapore government has been clear on the vision to turn Singapore into a cashless society in the drive to become a Smart Nation.
Yet cashless payments in Singapore known for being confusing, Paynow, Apple Pay, Android Pay, Dash, DBS PayLah, ez-link, Nets, CashCard, Liquid Pay and Samsung Pay, in addition to store-specific cards and credit and debit cards.
What is the future of payments and how do we embrace these developments? Are there pitfalls that need to be considered and do the convenience outweighs the costs?
The CIO Huddle is an active dialogue session between senior IT leaders who are keen to share learnings with each other and experiences with various solutions and vendors. As such the session is open to ITMA members only and will be moderated under the Chatham House Rule.
