Why CIOs Must Care About Containers

Why Watch?

Join our guest speaker, Paul Miller, Senior Analyst serving CIOs at Forrester, plus speakers from Cisco and Apprenda to discuss how containers and container orchestration can prove to be the key technologies for CIOs to transform their companies into digital businesses. Containers have provided developers with an easy way to build new cloud-native applications. But for CIOs who must integrate core systems of record with new growth-driving systems, containers and container orchestration tools bring a much bigger and strategic opportunity. In this webinar we will highlight ways that container based approaches already deliver value in the enterprise and why CIOs should look at these as key enablers of digital business.
