This is an interactive panel with IBM’s Drupal teams. They will discuss the do’s and don’ts in site design and creation, site migration, and Drupal hosting for government clients. Panelists share their experiences on a variety of topics that include:
- the challenges of managing the migration to the cloud
- sharing responsibilities when working with different vendors
- the role of Drupal in the age of mobile and the cognitive era
The panelists have first hand experiences in complex Drupal implementations in multi-vendor environments, and are eager to share their knowledge and expertise with others. This topic is broad, and as such touches upon many subjects including lessons learned with hosting Federal sites, and important business considerations. This is a great jumping off point for all levels. We invite questions to spur conversation that makes this session as interactive an experience as possible.
John T. Volkmann, CSM, MBA, PMP
John provides leadership on projects of various sizes and complexities. His 20+ years of experience in the Federal market ranges from thought leadership on strategic efforts to management of large Enterprise Information Technology (IT) projects. For the past several years his focus has been cloud delivery for Drupal sites across the government. John shares his lessons learned with cloud delivery in general and Drupal PaaS specifically.
Julian I. Kamil
Julian has been working with open source technologies in all his 20+ years of experience, and with Drupal since 2006 when he led a team to integrate State of GA enterprise healthcare databases with Mayo Clinic knowledge base into a Search for Care web application using Drupal. Since then, Mr. Kamil had led a number of Drupal implementations and system integration projects for IBM commercial and public sector clients.
Note to event organizers - we believe this topic spans many session tracks, not just business. If there is a better focus area that you believe would be more applicable, we can prepare our panelists to speak on many of the sessions that you have indicated, including backend, devops, and design/UIX.
