We are using Workspot and have about a quarter of people using it. It's been 5 years and we would like to increase the numbers but cost is still an issue.

We are using azure virtual desktop in our organisation. So far experience is very good. Administration is super friendly. It’s been 1.5 years we have moved majority of our staff to azure virtual desktop.

Not yet, but we're getting ready to pilot virtual desktops in Azure.

Same here, do  you know what is the minimum number of WVDs they support?

Azure WVD is a pretty good solution with strong security options from reverse connect and Azure Firewall, to Azure AD with Conditional Access, to Defender suite of products. Also, Cloud PC service is probably coming soon.

Azure. It’s a bit slow sometimes but it’s the future.
We’re thinking about shifting every machine to the cloud in the next 1-2 years

Historically, we ran WSO2 and BizTalk, tightly integrated with most of our systems. Recently we’ve shifted to Google Cloud Platform and we already replaced WSO2 with Apigee as our API management layer. Now that BizTalk is approaching retirement, we want to replace it as well – but we’re trying to determine the best approach in a GCP-centric architecture. A few questions for the group: Can we leverage Apigee capabilities to cover most (or all) of BizTalk’s integration/orchestration responsibilities? Or would you strongly recommend adopting an iPaaS to replace BizTalk’s integration workflows? Has anyone successfully implemented an alternative approach on GCP (other than iPaaS) that worked well in practice? If you have gone through this migration, what direction and reference architecture would you recommend? I would be very interested in hearing what you have implemented and what has worked well (or not well) in the real world. Thanks in advance!

How long does your organization retain original systems logs used to filter SOX-related actions into a system that requires review of the logs and retains the filtered logs for seven years? Does your organization consider those original system logs records subject to record retention requirements, or supporting information used to create the SOX records?

Empower cross-functional teams 3. Measure outcomes, not outputs   What has been the most surprising lesson your teams have learned during a transformation?
