Learn about the new paradigms in managing your IT  application estate which help bring down your TCO  by aligning support to business metrics for enhanced End User Experience

With an uncertain economic climate, companies can't afford to be reactive to rapidly changing business conditions. They need to be agile enough to spot market changes before they happen. The same is true for their business applications; when it comes to application management, IT professionals can no longer simply respond to incident resolution but rather use proactive monitoring to avoid incidents altogether. Such agility -- and a stable business platform -- is a requirement for any company that expects to survive this tough global environment and thrive when economic conditions improve.

This event is designed to provide expert guidance for establishing a proactive application management solution. Our panel will discuss how to seamlessly align applications with business processes to give companies greater visibility into the customer experience and changing market conditions.

Among the topics we will explore:

• Creating a more agile IT environment capable of responding quickly to changing business conditions
• Establishing reliable business-process level SLAs
• Ensuring visibility into application performance across the enterprise in order to anticipate and respond to incidents
• Lowering management costs by increasing IT efficiencies and cutting wasteful processes
