Join us for a special networking session with your local IT professionals, NxStage Medical, and your friends at Mendix! In a special presentation, Duane Dumont, vice president of IT at NxStage Medical, will share how his team leverages bimodal IT strategies to rapidly deliver business applications that drive innovation and business efficiency. After the presentation, we’ll have a Q&A session, cocktails, snacks and conversation.

Gartner Research’s bimodal IT framework recognizes that traditional development practices are no longer sufficient for organizations with growing enterprise application demand. Instead, a bimodal IT strategy calls for two parallel tracks that support rapid application development for digital innovation priorities, alongside existing application maintenance and operational stabilization projects. During this event, you’ll hear how a smart application strategy, modern development platform and agile implementation approach can accelerate your digital journey.

Attendees will learn:

Best practices for adopting a bimodal IT strategy
NxStage’s digital transformation – from start to lessons learned and more

How NxStage increased overall IT output to better support rapid business growth
How Duane’s team has kept pace with business application demand
