Breakfast!

Two things to know. First breakfast for most of us is about 4 miles from the 
entrance to the conference. Well, not really. But go left past the registration 
area, then halfway down the corridor to the right, then down the stairs and 
turn left, and keep walk past the well-meaning staff for about an hour. Well, 
not really. 

And if you are part of the Executive Summit group Well you've finished 
breakfast already :-)

And the last non-BMC thing for the moment us discount Disney tickets. There are 
deals for convention attendees which are available on-line, and not through the 
disney ticket office in the Dolphin lobby. You can get them if you call (407) 
566-5600 and mention the BMC conference. Details:

 Hello ARSLIST!
 
 Please post to this thread if you are at the BMC Engage 2014 conference and
 would like to share your observations with the lust readers damn it Siri
 that's list readers (well most of them) who are not able to attend.
 
 Props, kudos, booboos, oops, wild rants and applause are all appropriate
 here, as well as your descriptions of the conference and the Disney World
 experience just a short boat it bus from here.
 
 Also note there are lots of other social media connections to the BMC

Re: ENGAGE 2014 Commentary

2014-10-14 Thread Blairing
From the opening Keynote. Just my notes, no editing allowed! From the Keynote 
opening BMC Engage 2014

Introduction film by Steven Hawking,

Opening remarks by Paul Appleby, BMC exec VP Worldwide sales and marketing, 
referencing Hawking and Steve Jobs, and introducing a whole new BMC.

Bob Beauchamp, BMC CEO and chairman, welcoming customers, employees, press. His 
Topics to be: Wild and crazy stuff happening in the IT support industry: 
digitalization era.  And what BNC has been doing to address digitalization 
behind the scenes.  

   Next Year's Engage will be at the Aria in Las Vegas
   New BMC logo - double helix connotes digital DNA
   New BMC, private ownership, increased funding, new internal organization, 
new customer facing innovations, increased RD and marketing vs plans in public 
company era
   3rd era... It craftsmanship, 2nd IT industrialization, 3rd IT 
digitalization. A disruptive era encompassing social, mobile, big data, cloud.
   Era of digitalization will transform nay industries beyond IT, much as 
downloads and itunes disrupted media and entertainment
   List of disruptive technologies Mobile internet, robotics, 3d painting, 
Internet if things, energy storage, renewable energy etc. some commentary on 
Disney fast-pass and technology used to enhance the guest experience in the 
parks. 3d printers in space can manufacture things in space (at international 
space station now)
Autonomous vehicles. Insurance acne premiums down 90% ? Impact of 
autonomous vehicles leads to using transportations as a service rather than 
owning a personal car. Amazon, Google, may automotive companies working on this 
technology.
Internet of things - 7.3 billion SIM cards, 7.2 billion humans. 50 billion 
devices on Internet by 2020. All generating enormous amounts of data. Only 1 
percent of this is being analyzed. The old ways of managing this many devices 
will NOT scale to this number of Devices. Trouble tickets won't do it.
Two speeds of IT: Big machines with centralized processing will be 
enormous. Cost of compute reduces by 33%/year, network speed down 28/year. IT 
operations cost, however, not declining. Second speed is IT operations speed. 
Intertia of the organization itself limits the speed at which new concepts can 
be explored and deployed. IT may be overwhelmed by volume of data and 
processing which is necessitated by Internet of things. IT management of 
processes must happen and cannot be accomplished by traditional organizational 
structures. Must have an integrated strategy to adjust for both volume of 
data/processing strength and organization of processes and procedures to handle 
the evolution.
Industrial IT and Innovation IT
Bring IT to Life
   Intuitive solutions
   High speed innovation
   Industrialized solutions

MyIT now has  1 million users
SmartIT - new interface for IT staff service management users
TrueSight - new methods of analysis for performance and availability issues
SmartFlows - process management for service restoration including self service 
and knowledge management

Welcome to a New era in IT, to a new BMC, and to Engage

More to come Next:

Paul Appleby talk about Transforming The Digital Enterprise

Our lives are changing, Paul travels a lot, subscribes to technologies like 
Skype which allow him to leverage available services to help him live the life 
he wishes. Challenge with this how are these compelling and transformational 
services delivered?

Most companies are living in the eras of data processing, process automation 
and the cloud/Social/'Mobile/Connected world, all at the same time. Example in 
a telecommunications provided: Customer billing data is on mainframes at at 
data center, but end user provisioning is cloud and scattered and somewhat 
chaotic.b

Video demonstrates share, touch, work and discover.  Introducing Living IT 
from BMC, I assume this is a commercial. 

6 transformational imperatives for embracing IT as the enterprise, 
digitalization

   Intuitive experience
  Example most ohone apps, no instructions needed
   Actionable intelligence
   Apps deliver useful stats
   Agile  applications
   Delivery of innovation applications must be designed into the platforms, 
allowing business agility
Adaptive automation
Not only from infrastructure perspective but also process evolution
 Optimized infrastructure
 Compliance and risk mitigation
 Trust must be built in

As BMC brings IT to live, BMC will be working with customers to understand the 
relationships between a business and their clients/customers, and to optimize 
the way new services and useful apps are delivered.

 devices will NOT scale to this number of Devices. Trouble tickets won't do 
 it.
  Two speeds of IT: Big machines with centralized processing will be 
 enormous. Cost of compute reduces by 33%/year, network speed down 28/year. 
 IT operations cost, however, not declining. Second speed is IT operations 
 speed. Intertia of the organization itself limits the speed at which new 
 concepts can be explored and deployed. IT may be overwhelmed by volume of 
 data and processing which is necessitated by Internet of things. IT 
 management of processes must happen and cannot be accomplished by 
 traditional organizational structures. Must have an integrated strategy to 
 adjust for both volume of data/processing strength and organization of 
 processes and procedures to handle the evolution.

As long as we are dealing with serious stuff, Thursday is declared official
Hawaii shirt day for those that brought them, since there is no WWRUG Award
session and that would normally be Thursday.

Just had a tremendous, if not quite organized, evening with engineering in
which I had my first serious question in years answered! They were still
going strong at almost 10pm.

Also, DISCLAIMER: Note, those twinkies have BMC logos on them, they are not
the Canadian Twinkies, I did not bring them, nor did I throw or condone the
throwing of them at a time that many were not prepared or expecting them. I
wholeheartedly support the concept, but a heads up first would have been a
good part of the process. Then those that didn't know what to expect could
of turned to those of us in the know and ask and we could have said: just
duck

Well okay, I did throw two, but that was to known people that knew to expect
them.

Re: ENGAGE 2014 Commentary

2014-10-14 Thread Blairing
Twinkies appeared at the Evening with Engineering, rebranded Evening With The 
Experts. This was split into three venues (adjacent rooms separated by folding 
walls). One dealt with most products in the Remedy architecture, one with 
Control-M and friends, and one with... Uh Something else that I somehow 
didn't get around to visiting :-)

No one seems to know where the Twinkies came from, though some appeared to 
descend from twhe very heavens at great speed. They are not the Canadian 
variation, nor do they have Elvish qualities. They have the same timeless, 
indestructible, permanent characteristics that we have come to expect from... 
whatever the heck these things are

This evening's event was wonderfully successful. The promise was made that no 
one leaves with unanswered questions, and things were still going strong when I 
left after 10pm.

I should also mention that the 5:30 pub crawl was more like a stroll than a 
crawl, and that the location was the technology showcase. Don't worry. Be hoppy.

You are hereby gently reminded that there's a video feed of the Next Big Thing 
Wednesday at Noon EDT, 11AM CDT, 10AM MDT and 9 AM PDT.  If you're not
