  With ever evolving technologies and a change in consumer trends, comes the need to modernize IT trends. The Client of the future will be mobile and virtualized, creating an unknown complexity with regard to tax and publisher compliance.   Stephan Cadisch from SoftwareONE will show us: · The trends in future licensing models; · How the move from perpetual models to subscriptions based models will impact the IT planning; · How new Volume License Offerings, such as Office 365, Windows Intune and SelectPlus will impact the customers: benefits and loopholes.   IT departments will also have to be modernized as they often rely on the antiquated "break-fix" model of IT service, addressing and fixing problems only after they happen. Michael Chen from Kaseya will introduce the concept of "IT Automation" to show how to transform your IT department from a reactive cost center into a highly proactive, value-adding organization that doesn`t allow IT problems to occur!   A breakfast will be served during the presentation.   Location: Hotel Hilton 1 Dongfang Road East Third Ring North Road Chaoyang District, Beijing 北京希尔顿酒店 北京市朝阳区 东三环北路东方路1号‎ Tel: +86 10 5865 5000‎
