10:00 On the Road to the Cloud (and beyond)

Ben Horan & Boris Maltha, ClearPath Forward Sales Management, Unisys
By moving our ClearPath Forward infrastructure from a proprietary machine-centric platform to an open application-centric environment, we continue to enable our clients to take advantage of new opportunities without losing the advantages of the established attributes, accrued over many years of investment, operation and dependability. We believe that ClearPath Forward is, for most clients, their System-of-Record, but how can it be used to reap the benefits of Cloud-technology and respond to new challenges and opportunities? Ben and Boris will provide a vision of the next step for ClearPath.

10:45 ClearPath Forward and DevOps

Richard Klaasen Bos, DevOps Principal Lead, Unisys
