Digital Transformation
Through Portfolio Management
Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, Senior Instructor,
Consultant, Coach, International Institute for Learning
Digital transformation is the major emphasis of corporations
today, especially international and global corporations. It is driven by a
continuing stream of new and disruptive technologies that allow corporations to
reach and interact with their customers in new and innovative ways.
Technologies are allowing, and even demanding, that
organizations change the way they do business. The success stories in digital
transformation are legend. But digital transformation cannot be managed in the
traditional project and program management approaches.
One of the more successful approaches to managing
digital transformation is through portfolio management. This webinar explains
what digital transformation is and what it might mean to your organization, how
digital transformation is affected, and why portfolio management might be the
best way to manage a successful digital transformation.

BA Career Series: The
Rise and Benefits of Robotic Process Automation
Presented by Thomas Haver, Test Automation Architect
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a term given to
technology that allows developers to programmatically emulate the actions of a
human to execute a business process. RPA often operates on the user interface
(UI) layer to capture data or interact with an application or across multiple
applications to perform tasks that are considered repetitive or time-consuming.
Originally focused on business processes, many RPA solutions now integrate with
SDLC tools. While the promises of easy adoption and scaling are made by almost
every vendor, the reality is long-term commitment to an RPA program is the same
as any new application. In this presentation, the audience will learn about the
benefits of RPA, multiple RPA use cases, and how RPA can be assimilated into an
enterprise.
