A new approach to Business-IT Alignment

Speakers:
Andy Jones,
Strategic Business Solutions Director, Software AG
David Miller,
Managing Director, ITDYNAMICS

Live Webcast: 11.00am (UK time), Thursday 20th January, 2011

But as organisations start to invest in new, business-critical ways of delivering IT, such as cloud computing and service-oriented architectures, it’s more important than ever that IT and the business are fully aligned.

To discover a new solution to an old problem, Software AG is running an exclusive webcast with David Miller, author of the acclaimed British Computer Society book Business-Focused IT and Service Excellence. David Miller’s 10-point plan for aligning the business and IT has already delivered significant financial and commercial benefits at a range of UK organisations.

In this 45-minute webcast, David Miller will introduce his methodology and provide you with a practical foundation for implementing it in your own organisation today.

Getting Your IT to Become Business Performance Driven

Speakers:
Michael Smith, Research VP, Gartner, Mike Lees, BPM Product Director, Software AG

Today's CIOs and IT leaders have made great progress aligning their IT spend with business objectives, but today's economic crisis insists that we move beyond planning and demonstrate the impact that IT has on business performance. Today's IT leaders need to answer three questions: What am I doing, how am I doing, and how am I impacting performance? Truth be told, IT is still being looked at as an expense to minimize versus an investment to optimize – the challenge is for CIOs to help inform and shape the decisions that drive change.

Data Archiving Trends and Strategy

Speakers:
Noel Yuhanna
Principal Analyst
Forrester Research, Inc.
Bruce Beaman
Sr. Director, Product Marketing
Software AG

Demand for Data Archiving solutions continues to grow to manage the explosive growth of organizational data. It's estimated that a typical company's data doubles every 24 months yet it's a fact that at least 80% of data in databases remains static. The performance impact related to unwanted data on the production database can be huge: higher costs and longer time to conduct upgrades, backups, and other tasks. Data retention is also driven by compliance requirements from legislation such as HIPAA and Sarbanes Oxley.
