The Future Ready Applications Summit is designed for technical decision makers and IT professionals looking to leverage Microsoft Azure to supercharge innovation strategies, deliver superior customer experiences and build additional revenue streams with new business models.
Join us on September 29th, 2:00 PM onwards to hear from our customers and Microsoft Azure subject matter experts on how applications, the gateway for all interactions, can be made responsive, agile and future ready with innovative engineering and effective management.
To be a future ready organization, leaders must fast forward their application modernization and digital transformation cycles. However, a question that often comes up is which path to choose: migration or modernization?
This panel will seek to hear from leaders, their application modernization strategies and how they evaluate migrate versus modernize scenarios. We will also have experts from Microsoft sharing general approaches we see customers with large application estates taking and weighing in on the migrate versus modernize debate. We will address the advantages of modernizing early, the costs of not modernizing and services on our Azure portfolio that enable modernization.
India is a unicorns hotspot. Last year, even with a pandemic, 11 startups from India attained the unicorn status. Eight months into 2021, the Indian startup ecosystem has already added two dozen new entrants to the coveted $1 billion valuation club.In a matter of a few years, venture capitalists predict that India will witness the next big wave in the startup space - the decacorn or ventures with a valuation of $10 billion-plus.
With most of these companies being digital first, cloud native technologies will form the backbone for unicorns to scale up from India to the world as they gear up to ride the decacorn wave. Join us at this roundtable to hear thought leaders from prominent unicorns and soonicorns as they discuss their cloud-native strategies for scaling from India to the world.
Indian Fintech industry is fast maturing. Supported by a well-functioning ecosystem, the likes of UPI, Aadhar and GST, the Indian fintech industry is expected to grow multifold in the coming decade. The industry is strongly positioned to realize a total valuation of USD 150-160 billion over the next five years, creating an incremental value of USD 100 Billion from 2020. To realize this value creation potential, Indian fintechs need to conquer their core value propositions, collaborate to innovate, disrupt and scale the markets and expand into new global geographies. Digital platforms & open-API infrastructure will be the core pillar for powering the next wave of this growth and will help address the diverse use-cases in financial services.
This roundtable will explore the critical role of digital application platforms, processes and tools in enabling collaboration - B2B/B2C, B2B2C - between established financial institutions and fintechs and startups. The collaboration can take various forms such as integration, distribution and co-creation to take advantage of the underlying digital platforms and accelerate the time-to-market for new innovative products and services.
India is on the cusp of unlocking a $1 trillion opportunity for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies, creating nearly half a million new jobs by 2030, according to a report titled 'Shaping India’s SaaS Landscape' by SaaSBOOMi, Asia’s largest community of SaaS founders and product builders, in association with McKinsey. The SaaS industry, which is $2.6 billion in size and employs about 40,000 people, is expected to record a 20X revenue jump by 2030. This ‘20X jump’, which will generate $50 to $70 billion in revenue, is merely 6 percent of the global SaaS market —reflecting the untapped size of the pie and the huge window of opportunity that lies ahead for the SaaS industry. As SaaS players prepare for this unprecedented growth opportunity, join this roundtable to hear thought leaders discuss the way forward for India’s SaaS landscape, how developing partnerships accelerates growth and future-proofs young companies, the role of tech moats as differentiators and enablers of faster go-to-market for products and finally, cost-effective cloud strategies at scale, so SaaS companies and their teams can spend more time building software that changes the world as they deploy faster and scale easier.
The rapid rise of digitally native businesses have disrupted traditional business models creating new grounds for competition that are defined by the way software and new applications are built. Join this track to hear from Microsoft subject matter experts on how cloud native, the new paradigm for software development, is enabling organizations to deliver growth and speed innovation by accelerating developer velocity while strengthening security and compliance.
Unite your development and operations teams on a single platform to rapidly build, deliver, and scale applications with confidence. In this session, learn how Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) automates provisioning, upgrading, monitoring, and scaling for compute resources enabling a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) experience combined with enterprise-grade security and governance.
Join this session to learn how to use Azure Cosmos DB, a fast NoSQL DBaaS, to build scalable applications by leveraging cloud native NoSQL capabilities like "limitless" and instant scalability. We will also cover how the service enables guaranteed low latency (less than 10ms) and high availability with 99.999% financially backed SLAs and enterprise-grade security.
Azure Spring Cloud makes it easy to deploy Spring Boot–based microservice applications to Azure with zero code changes. Spring Cloud manages your application infrastructure so that you can focus on application code and business logic. Join this session to see how you can take advantage of built-in core features like Eureka, Config Server, Service Registry Server, VMware Tanzu Build Service, and blue-green deployment. Bind your applications with other Azure services, such as Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Database for MySQL, and Azure Cache for Redis.
Join this session to learn how you can build your next app faster by leveraging Microsoft Azure’s Open Source Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform. You will also hear about options available to run managed PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB on Azure enabling you to focus more of your time on building applications and less on database management.
Applications, the gateway for all interactions, have the capability to deliver superior customer experiences as well as additional revenue streams with new business models. However, building the app of the future requires the right tools, platforms, and services to enable developer agility. Join this track to see how Microsoft and GitHub offer the tools to support the future of app development. We’ll cover modern tools that maximize developer efficiency and productivity, collaboration platforms that enable leveraging the collective knowledge of the open-source community and advanced cloud services that have the capability to power innovation and experimentation.
Driving Developer Velocity and Experience: The ability to quickly deliver secure, high-quality software is critical to remaining competitive in virtually any market. Enterprises of all sizes are looking for ways to create an advantage and GitHub has a simple formula to help enterprises increase developer velocity by focussing on developer experience.
DevOps. SecOps. What’s next? One thing’s for certain: the best work happens together — and when development, operations and security are on the same team. DevSecOps helps you build more secure code by bringing IT security into your current DevOps workflow. GitHub is committed to building security into every step of the software development lifecycle, making it easier to introduce DevSecOps into your organization - without sacrificing developer velocity.
