2026 CDW HPE Modernization Mandate Workshop
Modernization decisions are no longer isolated. Changes in virtualization licensing, growing AI investment demands, and increasing operational complexity are forcing leaders to make faster, more interconnected decisions — often without clear alignment across the organization.
CDW, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Partner, invites you to attend the Modernization Mandate Workshop — a facilitator-led executive simulation designed to reflect these realities. You’ll step into the role of a leadership team navigating real-world challenges, making decisions under constraint, evaluating trade-offs, and experiencing the consequences in real time.
This is not a presentation or product discussion. It’s a structured decision environment built to help you think more clearly about what comes next. Reserve your seat now.
Four Critical Scenarios
During the 90-minute session, you’ll work through four phases — each requiring real decisions with trade-offs and consequences that mirror what your organization is facing today.
What You’ll Leave With
- Clarity on timing: Identify which modernization decisions need to be made now versus deferred.
- Leadership alignment: Build shared priorities and a common framework for evaluating trade-offs.
- Practical next steps: Define actionable paths across private cloud, data modernization, and AI-ready infrastructure.
- Evaluated options: Understand HPE Hybrid Cloud products within a clearly defined decision framework.
