With CIAM (Customer Identity & Access Management) data from various sources such as CRM, ERP, Identity Management, and your Website converges. To manage ownership of customer information in a digitally transformed economy with numerous business partners demanding access is one of the most significant evolutions today and it will continue to rapidly evolve.

5. Block the Date and Rock the Chain

“Blockchain, Blockchain, Blockchain”, to quote a delegate at EIC 2016. Indeed, besides a pre-conference seminar on this hot topic, discussing relevant business use cases and the question of identity related to distributed ledgers, there was hardly a talk or panel discussion without the magic “b-word”. What was then however mainly an explanation of the term and first tentative ideas, turns now worldwide into the implementation phase. There won’t however be a one-size-fits-all blockchain, but many different kinds of distributed ledgers instead, each suitable for particular use cases. Discuss the right way to move at EIC 2017. Find out the best option to invest in for your business.

6. The Whole Business World on Autopilot? Integrating & Securing the Internet of Things

Smart vehicles, machines, homes etc.: In the Internet of Things (IoT) intelligent objects act more or less autonomously by communicating with one another. Every”thing” and Everyone is connected to improve life for individuals and increase the efficiency of organizations and services, especially in manufacturing (Industry 4.0). Not all that glitters is gold, however. The borderless connection between cyberspace and the physical world in the IoT brings new risks that need to be considered and properly mitigated by using the right security and privacy measures. Hear more about this at the EIC 2017.
