Third Combis Conference day has started with CoCo ValueAdd – a non-IT related workshop, which is one of the novelties at Combis Conference. Concept 'Four rooms of change' is currently one of the most popular psychological theories for business improvement, used already by thousands of companies around the world.
"We wanted to make a full 360 degrees circle and create unique conference experience for each participant. Therefore, aside from standard IT content, we have decided to offer something different, a content not yet seen on IT conferences, but which can offer participants business and personal growth", said Renee Saboti Slovenc, Combis Conference director, while pointing out that reactions to non-IT content surpassed all expectations.
This year's agenda is divided into five theme areas: Combis Solutions, Connected Future, It's All About Technology, Security and Redefined Workplace, with the aim to educate and inspire the participants and show them opportunities from different business strategies for digital age.
Security
Large public interest raised the Security content. Conference lecturers, top experts in their business area, were presenting and discussing about the topics such as regulatory demands and obligations in information security. Also, security challenges in the era of digital transformation and protection from cyber-attacks were addressed.
"Change is a constant, thus businesses are facing more difficulties, especially in the security area. Attacks and threats are more sophisticated, frequent and stronger than ever, thus it is necessary to think about comprehensive protection and to work on security enhancement to prevent them. Moreover, proactive approach is more needed than ever before. Therefore, Combis created a unique security portfolio, which includes security products and services, we have been developing intensively. These services include threat and incident management, penetration tests and regulatory compliance, which is extremely important for the companies, especially since GDPR, NIS and ePrivacy regulations are arriving soon“, said Hrvoje Milašinčić, Security Department Manager from Combis.
Redefined Workplace
Combis, as Microsoft Partner of the Year for Croatia and the leading Microsoft partner for Cloud transformation in Croatia, has demonstrated Cloud expertise. During the case study in the insurance company Croatia osiguranje participants could learn how to efficiently answer to the challenge of location dispersion and secure to all employees equal user experience, regardless of their location – office, outside the office or home.
