Connecting Infrastructure and Operations Through Automation
Oct 8, 2026 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EST
Infrastructure automation has matured significantly, but many organizations still manage digital infrastructure and physical assets through separate teams, systems, and operating models. As automation expands across the enterprise, that separation can make it harder to standardize processes, enforce consistent controls, and improve resilience.
This roundtable will bring IT, infrastructure, and operations leaders together to discuss how organizations are connecting automation across traditionally separate environments. The conversation will explore where manual processes and fragmented tooling continue to create friction, how teams are extending automation into operational workflows, and what it takes to maintain security and governance as those efforts scale.
With perspective from Insight Enterprises and IBM, including where HashiCorp infrastructure automation and IBM Maximo asset management can support these efforts, attendees will leave with a clearer view of how peers are approaching enterprise-wide automation and where they are seeing meaningful operational gains.
BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises & IBM invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.
As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.
