EXPERT SEMINAR CONCEPT
REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTNER SEMINARS:
• partner presentations much comply or fit with the set topics for the event
• we welcome case studies: case studies are generally the most interesting and
most effective way to communicate with customers about products and solutions.
Customers can see themselves in the role of „product recipients“ and partners
„demonstrate“ the longevity/life-cycle of the implemented solution. Case studies
include the following basic information:
• description of the (customer) environment where implementation took place
• needs and requirements for the solution
• description of the solution (possible comparison with other solutions, description
of benefits)
• implementation process
• real benefits for customer
• future perspectives
• Panel discussions are an integral part of all seminars. It’s essential that partners
take part in the panel discussion. Panel discussions offer participants a means for
verifying their knowledge and experience gathered during the seminar.
• We ask that you please deliver documents (annotations, presentations, etc.) on
time, based on the agreed deadline!
• Do you work with an expert capable of giving an independent presentation? We
can provide you space for a free presentation during the theoretical part of the
seminar program.
OUR QUESTIONNAIRE FINDINGS:
The marketing part of the presentation cannot exceed 20%. The presentation must
focus on a solution. Pure product presentations are not popular (successful) among
participants.

DATA STORAGE AND WORK WITH DATA
APRIL
22 Apr. 2015
The volume of enterprise data continues to grow and as does its cost. Questions on efficient and secure data storage have come to the fore, as well as ones on backup, recovery and archiving.
This holds true for businesses and organizations of all sizes. However, the means, resources and tools may vary. The seminar will include not only theoretical and practical examples of
solutions for storing and archiving data; presentation of solutions and systems for intelligent work with data; but also the area generally called Big Data, which today is rapidly developing. Big
Data is an evolving term, which indicates a vast amount of data, procedures and technologies for storing, processing, analyzing and imagining/envisioning this data and the given results. The
aim of these processes is to extract new, synthesized and strategically- or otherwise-important information. Even though it might seem that Big Data is just a nice-sounding marketing term,
that’s not true. The analysis of information mined through the use of AI algorithms or collected by machines from Data Lakes, and which is constantly gathered in global networks as well as
in the information systems of businesses and public administrative offices, offer astounding results (benefits). In relation to society‘s growing „openness“ toward providing information and the
rapid growth in volumes of data gathered by machines, Big Data will definitely play an increasingly important role in decision-making and strategic processes for all organizations. Therefore,
it is important to become acquainted with the term, with means for mining data and using acquired knowledge, before the overall „boom“ comes.
Framework Program for Seminar
The seminar’s aim is not just to acquaint participants with the newest trends in technologies and methods for storing, backup and archiving of data by using networked, virtualized and virtual
storage servers, but also to connect, organically, the discipline of data storage with equipment and technologies for working with data. This includes mainly the newest analytical methods,
assessment and mining information contained in constantly growing volumes of unstructured data, i.e. Big Data.

ENTERPRISE MOBILE DEVICE
ADMINISTRATION AND BYOD
APRIL
23 Apr. 2015
With the rapid development of use of smart mobile devices, smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices, the enterprise network has expanded to include a mobile component. Whereas
the administration of classic landline networks has been historically fixed and planned out, administration of mobile networks has begun to develop only recently. Meanwhile use of mobile
devices brings many new aspects and risks for enterprise information systems. Management of mobile networks and securing enterprise information systems in today’s mobile age (and
in the future as well) has become very important (if not fundamental), as regards growing cyber security vulnerabilities and cyber crime. The aim of this seminar is to broaden participants‘
understanding of enterprise information systems and enterprise networks beyond the enterprise; i.e. working in a space where use of mobile devices – mainly smart phones and tablets – has
become standard: whether it be employees doing their work or handling private/personal matters. The event will address not only legislative questions on use of mobile solutions and BYOD,
but also questions on security and management of mobile devices. This will also include handling said issues and looking at systems currently available and their features, as well as the issues
of implementation and specific trends in this area.

ENTERPRISE ICT INFRASTRUCTURE
MAY
23 May 2015
Whereas not so long ago it was enough to install a computer network and connect user work stations to it in order to set up business information infrastructure, nowadays IT infrastructure
consists of a complex, hybrid environment that includes a wide array of systems: from your own infrastructure of local, enterprise and remote communications networks and their passive
and active elements to servers and various other devices on to services related to supervision, administration, management and security. Projecting and building enterprise ICT infrastructure
requires in-depth analysis of activities, information flows and organizational/business needs. It must take into consideration both current and future requirements, developments and objectives. Today a mind-boggling amount of means for setting up enterprise ICT infrastructure are available: from one’s own local solution to complete outsourcing and purchase of infrastructure
as a service. This seminar will acquaint participants not only with what current information and communications technologies, hardware and software offer, but also with processes for how
to evaluate and analyze your needs and future development properly. This will include review of tested, modern solutions; their features; characteristics and options that they offer. We will
also look at future development trends in ICT infrastructure.
SEMINAR CHARACTERISTICS
Some of the most important current activities involving ICT infrastructure are modernization. expansion and partial or full renewal of ICT infrastructure. This seminar’s aim is to acquaint
participants with the features and options that contemporary ICT infrastructures provide, with modern methods for building local and extensive/broader enterprise ICT infrastructure,

ENTERPRISE DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
AND ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEMS
JUNE
09 JUNE. 2015
Enterprise document management is a topic that has so far mainly been overlooked, particularly by smaller businesses and organizations. However, as the amount of time needed for
business activities grows and expands, document management, distribution and presentation continue to grow in importance. Whereas several years ago it was enough to share a hard disk,
it is practically impossible to get by without a quality system for document management (a DMS) organically integrated into an entire enterprise or organizational information system. This
seminar loosely builds on other seminars on print solutions and data storage and expands their content to include processes for working with electronic documents. The seminar’s aim is to
acquaint participants (both theoretically and practically) with the current and future states of working with electronic documents, resources, systems and tools for document administration
and flow, storage, archiving, search and other parts of DMS.
SEMINAR CHARACTERISTICS
The seminar’s aim is to explain how inclusion of document management is an increasingly important part of enterprise information systems. The seminar also looks to acquaint participants

CLOUD
JUNE
17 June 2015
Cloud is without a doubt a contemporary phenomenon and also one of the near future. One can look at the cloud from many angles, in many aspects, as regards a business or organization.
Many of these aspects have been discussed and addressed in the past. Cloud, as with any other model of providing information and communications technology services, represents one
of many possible approaches for businesses and organizations to obtain optimum ICT services in all regards: financial, user-facing and quality-wise; in the best possible way. So let’s look at
the cloud, not from the perspective of definitions and the most frequently quoted marketing buzzwords, but rather as one way to implement ICT services in a business or organization. The
seminar will provide relevant information mainly to businesses and organizations as future users of ICT and cloud-based services; whether realized locally (private and hybrid cloud, enterprise
data centers) or when buying from third party suppliers of ICT and cloud services.
SEMINAR CHARACTERISTICS
The aim of this seminar is to acquaint participants with the possibilities that the cloud provides, and does not provide. They will learn about ways of implementing cloud solutions on their own
and when working with third parties, about ways of putting together cloud solutions and, last but not least, about cloud-based services, their benefits, insufficiencies and management. The
seminar will provide a comprehensive basis both for decision-making on when and how to use the cloud and cloud-based services, as well as basic information to persons considering a move
to cloud-based services or implementing them.

MANAGING INFORMATION AND
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES
SEPTEMBER
24 Sept. 2015
The role of ICT is to provide services. ICT services are one of the tools for running a business‘ or organization’s activities or for running manufacturing machines, finance departments or
building administration. In order for ICT to provide proper services with minimum costs, it has to be managed properly. ICT and ICT services management (ITIL, COBIT, standardization in
compliance with ISO 20000, etc.) are very quickly becoming strategic affairs that the leadership of any business or organization has to deal with. They have to implement them or will have to
do so, to some degree, in the future. There is a difference between an IT project, whose aim is to build IT infrastructure, and an ITSM project, whose job is to ensure that ICT is used properly
and provides the right services at minimum cost.
SEMINAR CHARACTERISTICS
The seminar’s aim is to acquaint participants with the importance of managing information and communication technologies (IT Service Management, ITSM), to present ITSM as an
important, independent discipline, to acquaint listeners with the basic approaches, principles, processes, methods, frameworks and standards in the field of managing ICT, i.e. ITIL,
COBIT, ISO 20000, etc. The seminar’s task is to prepare a comprehensible, transparent and sufficiently thought out platform that will serve in the eventual implementation of ITSM in an
organization or company; or for further dissemination of knowledge in the field of ICT management. Participants will also learn about tools and technologies for introducing and implementing
ITSM and the benefits of implementations that have already been done.

PRINT SOLUTIONS
OCTOBER
22 Oct. 2015
Print solutions are hardly just shared printers connected by a computer network. They are an integral element of document and content management systems that are closely connected
with the majority of other processes in a business or organization. This seminar’s aim is to provide a comprehensive view of printing options that contemporary print solutions offer and of new
print technologies that lead to simplified printing for users and administrators and also lead to financial savings and protection of the environment. The seminar will also explore the means and
paths for integrating printing solutions with enterprise systems for document and content management, the benefits and savings that the proper and adequate introduction of such solutions
afford and the means and paths for implementing and managing the solutions. It will look at problems and obstacles that arise when designing, managing and integrating such solutions.

ICT & SECURITY
NoVEMBER
12 NoV. 2015
Security is increasingly viewed as a system issue. It is standardized and implemented in compliance with systematic, generally valid rules. It is measured and audited. It has become
a discipline that is no longer seen as separate from information and communications technologies. It is an integral and essential part of the latter. Threats and attacks change constantly.
Long-term threats appear more and more; they are prepared strategically with a specific target in mind. Meanwhile, the significant growth in worker mobility brings new, up-to-now-unknown
or underestimated aspects (of security) to the field of ICT. A further non-negligible factor is the decreasing perception of risks on the part of internet users in general. This is caused on one
hand by social networks and their mass usage, and on the other by many times, indiscriminate pressure from software makers (mainly makers of mobile devices) to provide various data, i.e.
location. The topic of ICT security is generally very broad, for the spectrum of undesirable activities and means by which hackers can penetrate a system is vast. The number of security risks
has grown rapidly with growth in the scope of services that ICT systems provide.
SEMINAR CHARACTERISTICS
The seminar’s aim is not just to describe specific security solutions, either hardware or software, but also to provide information on security from a more general perspective; explaining
the issue of ICT security as a discipline and to set a certain level of perception of protective information systems overall. This later helps with the better implementation or update of security
(solutions) in the organization, for each security solution covers a specific set of protective elements. The seminar will also touch upon global issues of legislation, rights, liability (including
criminal law). Last but not least, it will provide an evaluation of the implementation and impact of the Cyber Security Act on overall ICT security, i.e. at a time when the law will have been in
effect for almost one year.
Framework Program for Seminar:
General, Theoretical Section (meant only for non-commercial presentations):
1. ICT security as a systematic discipline
Description of possible threats, spots or areas in the organization’s information system that
