SUPPORTING BCS ‘SKILLS HOUR’ FEATURE PRESENTATIONS WHY SHOULD EMPLOYERS SUPPORT RITTECH?

SECURITY SKILLS AND PARTNERSHIPS

When the Register of IT Technicians was launched, the first technicians accepted onto the register were IBM Apprentices.

Not only are they the future of IBM’s technical workforce, but also the future of our digital industry.

In this presentation, Dr Jez Brooks will discuss why IBM chose to support this initiative and what benefits it has brought the apprentices in their professional development.

The Security Skills Partnership was tasked with developing and piloting a working model of co-operation between employers (both public and private sector), security providers, schools, colleges, universities, law enforcement agencies and both central and local government to identify, attract, motivate, train (not ‘just’ educate) and employ local talent in and around the Cyber Security sector.

BCS FEATURE SESSIONS ‘IT SECURITY’ & ‘GDPR’ READINESS

BCS BOOKSHOP LIVE SESSIONS: BCS Chartered Institute of IT will be presenting four headline authors of latest BCS Bookshop recommended titles covering SME cyber security, cloud computing, service management and data analytics.

IT ASSURANCE - HOW RELIABLE IS YOUR IT AND DOES IT COMPLY WITH THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK?

Wed 15 Nov: 14.00 - 15.00pm. Stage #7

Many SMEs are dependant on IT to run their business, but how many can state with confidence that their systems meet today’s confidentiality, integrity, availability and compliance requirements? The need for assurance in this area is made more difficult with the moves towards outsourcing and cloud computing.

The forthcoming General Data Protection Regulations makes all businesses liable to sanctions of up to four times their turnover if data is not adequately protected, or correctly processed. SMEs need to obtain assurance that they can protect personal data, ensure that it is accurate and is available when required.

Large organisations can employ dedicated assurance providers, or pay for external consultants, but the SME seldom can afford such help. This session will explore, in non-technical terms, how the SME can seek assurance that they conform with the regulatory framework without laying out large amounts of cash.

Speaker: Dr John Mitchell, Workshop Liaison, BCS, The Chartered Institute of IT Wed 15 Nov: 11.00 - 11.30am. Stage #8

ANNA AND THE THINKING OF SIAM Against a backdrop of increased business and IT integration and complexity, the need for agility, and leveraging new innovative technology for competitive and cost advantage, means multisourced provision of IT services is the reality for most businesses.

Assuring seamless and high quality IT services to the business in this landscape can be a challenge.

In this session, Anna Leyland will show how using a Service Integration and Management (SIAM) approach across IT teams and suppliers can address these challenges, and deliver value to the business through improved service quality and satisfaction, optimised costs (including external sourcing), improved governance and control, with improved flexibility to support business needs.

Speaker: Anna Leyland, Consulting Senior manager, Sopra Steria UK Wed 15 Nov: 12.30 - 13.00pm. Stage #6

CAN QUALIFICATIONS STOP CYBER INCIDENTS? Organisations today are spending more time and money on getting their staff qualified in a range of cyber-related qualifications.

The question is though, does the gaining of a certification by an individual actually reduce the likelihood of the organisation suffering a future cyber incident?

Andy Taylor, BCS Author and Information Security Examination Panel Member / Aquila Business Services Ltd

CLOUD: THE NOW AND THE FUTURE Cloud computing is on everyone’s radar, whether it be just a passing interest, for use as proof of concept experimentation or for real-world operational use.

The session will have a look at different cloud models, tools required, how different application models impact decisions made now and how organisations can plan for a cloud that will support them over the long term – rather than just now.

Clive Longbottom, BCS Author / Quocirca Ltd

Thur 16 Nov: 13.00 - 14.00pm. Stage #7

SERVICE COSTING – THE HOLY GRAIL OF SERVICE MANAGEMENT Very few IT departments have any idea how much it costs to deliver value through services to the organisation.

If your IT department is one of those that distributes its costs based on the number of people within the department, then you might well gain insight from this talk.

John Sansbury, BCS Author and SIAM Examination Panel Member / Infrassistance Ltd

YOUR DATA IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT ANALYSTS

BCS INFORMATION POINT - RUNNING FOR 2 DAYS The BCS Stand will host four key zones for you to drop-in with your SME IT questions: ● Your IT Community ● Apprenticeships ● Professionalism and Standards (RITTech) ● Digital Capability / Business Analysis Centre

VISIT the BCS SME Business IT HUB – Stand H2

The business world is experiencing an unprecedented increase in the amount of data that business capture and store which is combined with improvements in sophisticated algorithms and our computational ability to process them.

This session will consider the increasing importance of the role of the analyst and their ability to manipulate the data, extract information from it, engage with the decision makers and control the process.

bUsiness expaNsion How can your finance team thrive during a time of change and growth?

A business by its very nature equates growth with success. However, this growth brings with it a particular set of challenges. At the core of this, is the financial reporting and planning process – the critical activity of analysing the past and making plans for the future. During growth, a finance team can often get stuck looking into the past - at HAYNE, we help ‘create time’ so that finance teams can deal with the past quickly and spend more time focusing on the future of the business.
