This year’s event is all about data—customer, IT performance, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and more, and our panelists weighed in with guidance and real-world examples of how they’re using data efficiently to achieve the agility, customer centricity, and actionable insights required to become an Autonomous Digital Enterprise and operationalize their most powerful asset to become a Data-Driven Business.
Today started with a fireside chat between BMC Chief Revenue Officer, Jason Andrew, and Shark Tank star and CEO/Founder of FUBU, Daymond John. The two discussed all the ways that data has led Daymond to imagine, invent, and innovate time and time again and how he uses data-driven insights to be the incredible visionary and entrepreneur he is today.

Operating Business Workflows at Peak Performance with Better Insights
Yesterday BMC announced an exciting new addition to Control-M called Workflow Insights, and Amir Banai, Senior Product Manager at BMC, had the opportunity to show it off during this session.
Driven by workflow telemetry data, Control-M Workflow Insights is a new collection of data-rich dashboards that offer observable insights showing how workflow changes and trends impact the delivery and service level agreements (SLAs) of business services over time.
“[Businesses] across many industries [have] been asked to do the same amount of work, but do it faster. And that requires analyzing workflows to understand…what adjustments can be made so that you can now do the same amount of work in a shorter amount of time.”
—Basil Faruqui, Principal Solutions Marketing Manager, BMC
To read more about this new offering, check out this blog and watch Amir show off three of the set of eight highly interactive dashboards by registering and watching the full demo here.

How Humana Built a Modern Mainframe-Inclusive DevOps Toolchain for Increased ROI
Many organizations have realized that the mainframe systems their companies have relied on for years are not only a capable platform for today, but also for the future. Watch Andrew Foster, Director of DevOps, and Gaurav Jaju, Application Architect for Humana, discuss how their organization selected a modern mainframe development environment that enhanced the developer experience, improved business outcomes, and drove return on investment.
“The intention here is to just show how the BMC AMI DevX stack fits together to form this ecosystem and how we’ve integrated it with our other DevOps product suites across our broad ecosystem…Humana has almost every technology stack at play you can think of within our ecosystem. And so, stitching these things together and providing a very streamlined experience for the engineers is something that we’re really passionate about in the enterprise engineering enablement team…We think and believe that happy engineers equal productive engineers, right? So we want our engineers to come into work, be excited about the toolset that they’re using, and be able to do their job in as frictionless way as possible.”

Get Maximum File Transfer Visibility, Control, and Integration
File transfers are critical to virtually every business service you deliver. Using separate products to manage file transfers and related application workflows can be risky and complicated, and negatively impact your critical business services. In this session, Robby Dick, Lead Solution Marketing Manager at BMC, talks to Jason Garner, Manager of Workload Automation and Global Cloud Operations at Finastra, about how he and his team handle the automation of batch processing file movements and other automations across Finastra.
“Control-M…it’s one solution that gives us the dashboard and the monitoring, and then the ability to roll it out easily, and we can provide secure access to other areas so that they can look into it…It just really expanded our ability to cover more areas, but with a smaller team, a smaller overhead, it’s all in one spot.”
—Jason Garner, Manager, Workload Automation and Global Cloud Operations, Finastra
Register for free to watch the full session here and find out how Control-M can give you instant visibility and control over all your internal and external file transfers.
