About

Several key software vendors closed their financial years towards the end of 2020 including:

  • IBM
  • Amazon
  • Google
  • Micro Focus
  • SAP
  • Adobe

Join us on Thursday 11 February 2021 at 2pm as we discuss how these organisations fared in 2020 and what to expect from them in 2021 – including audits, product focus areas, licensing and more. Knowing where they are coming from, and going to, will help you – and other internal stakeholders such as procurement and finance – best understand any risks and successfully manage the relationship for another year.

The Online Summit will also feature relevant sessions from a range of our partners, detailing some of the key challenges you can face when using software and services from these vendors – and how to manage them too!
