Westpole x IBM : Tech Refresh

AGENDA

09h00 : Welcome coffee

09h30 :
Introduction Cédric PAINT (Westpole) et Jean-Paul HERMANN (IBM)

09h45-10h45 :
Session 1 :  HASHICORP
How HashiCorp helps organisations build and manage modern cloud infrastructure ?

In this session, we will focus on Terraform, the industry standard for infrastructure as code, and Vault, the leading platform for managing secrets and protecting encryption keys across modern infrastructure. Each solution will be highlighted through its core capabilities, use cases, and business value. Join us for a clear and practical introduction to two key pillars of the HashiCorp portfolio.

11h00-12h00
Session 2 :  Application & Development Innovation Session

From AI Tools to AI Development Systems

Meet IBM Bob – Reinventing Enterprise Software Development

AI‑assisted development has progressed rapidly, yet most tools remain limited to isolated productivity gains, lacking the context, governance, and orchestration required for enterprise‑scale software delivery.

Modern application development demands integration, scale, and trust —capabilities traditional AI tools were not designed to deliver.

IBM Bob addresses this gap by enabling organizations to build AI agents and modernize their application estates, accelerating delivery while reducing complexity and risk.

Lunch Time

14h00 – 15h00
Session 3 : Enabling AI, Hybrid Cloud, and Cyber‑Resiliency at Scale

How IBM continues to innovate across Storage and Power platforms to help organizations modernize applications, accelerate AI use cases, and build secure, resilient hybrid cloud architectures for mission‑critical workloads.

We will showcase how AI‑based assistants for storage administrators are transforming day‑to‑day operations, and how IBM Storage Fusion, combined with Red Hat technologies, enables organizations to:

• Modernize traditional and virtualized applications

• Accelerate AI‑driven use cases

• Build secure, cyber‑resilient hybrid cloud environments

All while supporting mission‑critical workloads across on‑premises and cloud environments.

15h30 – 16h30:

Session 4 : Powering AI, Modern Applications,

and Cyber‑Resilient Hybrid Cloud

 

During this event, IBM experts and specialists will share how today’s software and infrastructure platforms are evolving to support AI‑driven workloads, modern application architectures, and mission ‑critical resilience— from code to cloud.

• Artificial Intelligence

• Application modernization (VMware & OpenShift)
